King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 113 Lao Zhu: Tan'er, cure Wei Guogong for us!
  Not to mention how much Zhu Yuanzhang valued Xu Da, if something went wrong during treatment, would he punish himself?

Even Xu Da's status among the ministers is unique!

In terms of merit, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and the Yuan Dynasty were basically defeated by him.

Wang Baobao, the talented coach who fought against the Yuan army during several Northern Expeditions, was also credited to Xu Da.

In terms of status, Xu Da was one of the six founding Dukes, and he rose to the rank of Taifu, Prime Minister of Zhongshu Right, participated in the army and state affairs, and was also the Prince Shaofu.

Even Li Shanchang, who was originally listed as the first among Zhu Yuanzhang's ministers, could not compare with Xu Da in terms of actual status and importance.

Therefore, Xu Da's status among the officials is also extraordinary.

This involves another issue.

That is, if Xu Da dies due to gangrene, no one can say anything.

But if you die because of your own penicillin.

Maybe the rumors among the officials are about to start!

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered King Lu to pretend to give Xu Da medicine, and after taking it, he died.
  When the time comes, I will be the new version of the "steamed goose" that stinks in the history books!
  Think of this.

Zhu Tan was still very hesitant.

However, from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Tan wanted to save Xu Da!
  If the influence of these factors is not considered.

Zhu Tan is very willing to give it a try.

After all, Xu Da can be called a famous handsome man and god of war in history.

At the same time, no matter Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde or later Lan Yu, compared with Xu Da, they were still inferior.

He who fights bravely is not as wise as Xu Da.

Those who have great strategies are not as brave as him in battle.

It is such a pity that such a handsome man died at the age of only 53.

Compared to Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde.

Xu Da is the best commander-in-chief to defeat Mobei in the future.

In the future, I might have to borrow his help.

after all.

As the Duke of Wei, Xu Da was a truly high-ranking and powerful figure.

Therefore, there are countless old subordinates.

If I had the grace to save his life, the benefits in the future would be endless.

At least it’s more reliable than Tanghe!
  Although Tang He is his father-in-law, his relationship is closer.

But in the court, Tang He had to avoid suspicion.

There are many things that he cannot say and dare not say.

Xu Da no longer has this burden.

When the time comes, a former prime minister will stand up for him at any time!

This card, this influence.
  Tsk!
  For a while.

Zhu Tan was confused.

It would be a pity not to save him, but it would be dangerous to save him.

This is what it feels like!

Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhou Wang Zhu Ji said.

Suddenly I felt excited!
  Is there really a way to deal with this poisonous gangrene?
  He stared at Zhu Xi with piercing eyes and said, "Is there really a way?"

Zhu Rui said confidently: "My son discovered a strange medicine in Kaifeng, which is effective in many diseases and can also treat gangrene!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Have you ever brought it with you?"

Zhu Xi smiled and said: "No need to bring it! That kind of medicine can be found everywhere. Just ask Duke Wei to prepare it when you get there!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "What else can you say! Just let us go!"

Zhu Tan hesitated for a moment and said: "Father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Tan and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Zhu Tan struggled for a moment and said, "I also want to visit Duke Wei!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Zhu Tan and Wei Guogong have nothing in common!
  This kid suddenly wants to see what Duke Wei is doing!
  Zhu Ju even smiled and said: "Wei Guogong is in a special situation now, so it is not appropriate for too many people to visit him! Fifth brother and father are going to see Wei Guogong for medical treatment, so you children should not join in the fun!"

Zhu Tan suddenly felt extremely unhappy!

Isn't it time for you to blow up the back garden?

Now I have become a child!

Zhu Biao also advised: "Tenth brother, if father, brother, and your fifth brother go together, it will already be a big battle. If you have nothing to do, it is better not to alarm them at this juncture."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tan, and a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Old Shi, tell us the truth! Is there any way you can save Wei Guogong?"

The words fell.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi were both shocked.

Why did the father say this?

Zhu Tan suddenly remembered.

Lao Zhu has a royal guard.

If he had been paying attention to him, he would probably have known about saving Wu Waner by now!
  It was obvious that Wu Waner was already dead, but she was saved by her own bottle of medicine.

This incident was widely circulated in Yanzhou Prefecture.

Many people in Wu Waner's house can also testify.

If Jin Yiwei wants to investigate and confirm this matter, it will not be difficult.

It is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang already knew this.

Zhu Tan couldn't help but complain.

Lao Zhu’s Jin Yiwei is too scary!

He knows everything!

This dark feudal society spy politics!

Seeing Zhu Tan's silence, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "We know! You, Lao Shi, have hidden the deepest secrets! However, Jin Yiwei still reported to us that you saved a confidante in Yanzhou!"
  Is that medicine also useful for Wei Guogong? "

When Zhu Tan heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he said helplessly: "Yes, father! That medicine may indeed be of some use to Duke Wei, but it is also risky."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought for a while.

He could hear the meaning behind Zhu Tan's words.

I even figured this out quickly.

"Tan'er, I understand what you mean! Then you can go and have a look with us first! We respect your choice whether you want to save him or not when the time comes!

Duke Wei is the pillar of our Ming Dynasty, and he is your father’s lifelong best friend!
  Without him, it is our loss and Ming Dynasty’s loss. "

Zhu Tan nodded. If Xu Da wasn't so important, he wouldn't have thought of taking risks to save him.

But let’s talk about the specific situation there.

What if Zhu Ju’s home-made allicin works?

Soon, everyone arrived at the Duke of Wei's mansion.

The commander of Jinyiwei, Jiang Yu, had already ordered someone to report to Xu Da's house.

At this time, the lights in the Duke of Wei's mansion were brightly lit.

In front of the door, kneeling were the Xu family members headed by Xu Huizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just gotten off the sedan chair.

Xu Huizu was the first to choke, and led everyone to salute: "The Xu family welcomes Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "You're all dead! How is your father doing now?"

Xu Huizu's face was filled with sadness.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your grace! My father is probably dying."

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank and he couldn't help but ask: "Are the imperial doctors we sent also helpless?"

Xu Huizu nodded and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, this gangrene attack is extremely fierce. We have tried every means in Peking, but there is nothing we can do! The reason why we can survive to this point is because of the best efforts of Your Majesty and the imperial doctor sent by His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He knew that Xu Da was Zhu Di's father-in-law. He was so seriously ill in Peiping. Zhu Di must have tried every means.

This was no different from what he had guessed. The two imperial doctors he sent to Zhu Di were also top experts. They were both at a loss. The imperial physicians in the palace probably had no other better solution.

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

When something happened to his eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying, he had no choice.

He could only watch the future emperor's grandson die young.

When Queen Xiaoci passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang also tried his best.

Even though he held her hand tightly, promised the imperial doctor lavish wealth, and threatened to kill the nine tribes countless times, he was still unable to save the girl's life.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood why emperors of all dynasties had always pursued the seemingly illusory immortality for so many years.

Because when you reach this point, the most powerless thing you have to face is separation between life and death.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said to Xu Huizu: "Take us to see your father first!"

Soon, everyone came to Xu Da.

At this time, Xu Da's condition had indeed deteriorated to the extreme.

at this time.

Xu Da was naked and lying on the bed.

The back has an unbearable appearance.

The central area of ​​gangrene has become dark and necrotic, and the skin surrounding the wound shows signs of redness, swelling, and inflammation.

The edges of the gangrene area are irregular and show a spreading trend. The color of the surrounding skin gradually changes from dark red to normal skin color, indicating that the infection is gradually spreading. You may see small blisters and oozing fluid, which are signs of a serious infection.

Xu Da's pain was clearly evident on his face. His brows were furrowed and his facial muscles were twisted in pain.

He moved his body slightly from time to time, trying to find a position that would relieve the pain, but every little movement seemed to cause him excruciating pain.

Zhu Tan frowned and looked at Xu Da.

The look on his back was clearly caused by a severe bacterial infection.

It's also because Xu Da is still running a fever.

This made him look extremely weak, and his breathing was very rapid and uneven.

Xu Huizu walked closer and said softly: "Father, His Majesty is here to see you!" The words fell.

Xu Da trembled his lips and rolled his eyes.

Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Even though someone moistened his pale lips with water from time to time, there were still cracked and bloody lips.

The eye sockets were sunken, and the whole person was probably suffering from a high fever, and he looked extremely haggard.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, walked up to Xu Da, and said: "Tiande, Tiande! We are here to see you!"

Xu Da faced Zhu Yuanzhang.

His mouth opened and closed, and his throat kept making a "ho ho" sound, but in the end no sound came out.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"No need to say it! Tiande, you have a good rest. We have hired the best doctor. No matter what, we will save you at all costs!"

When Xu Da heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he shook his head gently.

Then, seemingly due to excessive fatigue, he rolled his eyes and fell into a coma.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly shouted: "Imperial physician! Cure him for us and save the life of Duke Wei! We will definitely be rewarded heavily!"

Soon, the imperial physician came over.

He checked Xu Da's breathing and said, "Your Majesty! Duke Wei was just overworked and fell into a coma."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Tell us the truth! What is the current situation of Wei Guogong? Is there any hope for help?"

The imperial doctor said bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have few talents and little knowledge. I'm afraid that the Duke of Wei will be here in the past two days."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news.

Take a deep breath.

Standing up, he asked Zhu Xi: "Can I try the method you mentioned now?"

Zhu Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, Father!"

As he said this, he looked at everyone in Xu Mansion.

"Can you find me some more garlic?"

Xu Huizu was stunned and asked: "Your Highness, did you say that garlic can be used to treat gangrene?"

Zhu Zhu nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xu Huizu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We have been using this method, but it has no effect!
  I have tried it both externally and internally.

The poisonous gangrene is growing bigger and bigger. I'm afraid the garlic won't be very effective. "

Zhu Rui was stunned when he heard this and asked:

"Is that so?"

Xu Huizu nodded and said: "We have used all possible methods in Beiping!

This method of treating gangrene with garlic is a folk remedy found by a monk named Dao Yan who lived in Prince Yan's palace. It is said that it has been effective for many people, but my father had little effect! "

Zhu Xi smiled bitterly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi and snorted: "We didn't have much hope in you."

When these words came out, Zhu Xi blushed, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang told the truth.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said to the prince, Zhu Chu and Zhu Tan: "You all come out with us!"

soon.

Several people came out.

The moment he walked out of the house.

Zhu Tan clearly saw Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Old tears.

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his tears.

"We are the emperor, and the emperor cannot have weaknesses, and we cannot cry in front of outsiders!

You guys are our children, so don’t tell anyone about this. "

Zhu Biao, Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Tan nodded one after another.

Zhu Tan sighed in his heart.

Don't look at Lao Zhu becoming the emperor in this life.

But come to think of it, it must be very painful.

I lost my wife, my grandson, and myself in history, and I lost six sons.
  He was obviously a good man who valued love and justice, but in his later years, in order to clear the way for the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, he had to operate on those heroes and nobles who conquered the world with him when he was young.

At this time, he felt heartache for Xu Da. When he cut the butcher's knife in pain, he was in so much pain, right?

Even those people were not as close to him as Xu Da, but they were all brothers who followed Lao Zhu from young and high-spirited to old age.

Who doesn't have the memory of drinking celebratory wine?

Who has not experienced the heroic spirit of conquering the world?

however.

In the end, he had to kill them with his own hands.

Bury your past glory and joy.
  finally.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tan and asked, "Tan'er, you also saw what happened just now.

Duke Wei is in danger!
  Those imperial doctors have no hope!
  Now there is still a glimmer of hope, and it's all in your hands. Are you willing to treat Wei Guogong? "

Zhu Tan hasn't spoken yet.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but said: "Father, Duke Wei's illness is so serious, I thought it would be better not to let my tenth brother take the risk!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and frowned: "What are you worried about?"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said: "The status of Duke Wei is special after all. If he dies, no one can say anything. If the tenth brother takes action and is still unlucky, I'm afraid that some rumors will spread in the future, which will be detrimental to both the tenth brother and you!" "

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

He knew what Zhu Biao meant.

He has killed many heroes over the years, and his reputation is not very good to begin with.

Xu Da's matter had nothing to do with him.

But if Zhu Tan tried the medicine, Xu Da would still die.

By then, there is no telling, Zhu Tan will be slandered and become the executioner of his hero!

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son are all smart people.

There is no need to clarify what Zhu Biao said, as several people are now deep in thought.

Zhu Tan is the most confused.

He clearly wanted to save Xu Da, but in this situation, if he couldn't be saved, or Xu Da was allergic to penicillin, he would probably be infamous for killing Wei Guogong.

If that's the case, it's better not to save him.

He just wants to be a ridiculous prince, but he doesn't want to be a prince who kills a hero and an important official of the court!

After a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang's body moved slightly.

Then he looked at Zhu Tan suddenly, with piercing eyes, and said: "Zhu Tan! We order you to give it a try! Save Wei Guogong!"

Zhu Tan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed: "Worrying, slandering, and fearing ridicule will not achieve great things! Human lives are at stake, and we cannot ignore death!"

Duke Wei is our brother! This is what we can only tell you!

Seeing that he is dying, if we let go of this only glimmer of hope, we won't be able to tell Wei Guogong when he goes underground one day!
  If something really happens to Duke Wei, I will personally explain it to you! "

Hearing this, Zhu Tan nodded.

Originally, he wanted to take a chance.

What's more, penicillin itself has miraculous effects on bacterial infections, and this type of gangrene cannot escape the category of bacterial infections.

As long as it is used, the possibility of Xu Da being cured is still very high!
  The last time on Wu Waner, the Zhutan experiment was very effective. It may be that people in this era have never been exposed to any antibiotics before.

That’s why antibiotics are so powerful!

As long as Xu Da is not allergic, Zhu Tan feels that her hope of curing Xu Da can reach more than 60%!
  I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this.

Zhu Tan said hurriedly: "I will obey my father's imperial edict!"

talking.

He took out the porcelain bottle filled with penicillin that he had brought with him and prepared to go in and give Xu Da the medicine.

Zhu Ru couldn't help but said: "Tenth brother! Can you tell fifth brother what is in this porcelain bottle?"

Zhu Tan was stunned.

What is this outfit? Do I need to tell you it’s penicillin?
  Do I still need to explain to you what penicillin is?
  That's such a waste of time.

fortunately.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands impatiently and said: "Go, go! Zhu Ru! Shut up! Can't you see what time it is now? Are you still studying porcelain vases? Everything will be fine when it is cured!"

When Zhu Tan heard this, he felt like he was being pardoned and hurried in.

Zhu Tan said: "Your Majesty ordered me to treat Duke Wei!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
  Xu Huizu frowned even more.

King Lu?

He still looks like a young boy, can he treat his father's illness?

Although they were suspicious, everyone did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's order, and all made way for Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan's treatment for Xu Da was still simple and rough, with external application and oral administration.

After all, there are no infusion sets and syringes now.

These matters were all left to the imperial physician who was waiting on the side.

soon.

It's all over.

Zhu Tan only prayed that Xu Da would not be allergic to penicillin
