Vol 2 Chapter 909: This cholera is not cholera!


"Your Majesty is unwell today. Let's put it aside for a while. If the officials are in a hurry, first hand over the memorial to Shang Shusheng, and Fang Xiang and Du Xiang will deal with it!"
Outside the Tai Chi Hall.
After waiting for a long time, the civil and military officials who did not see Li Er summoning them into the hall suddenly waited for such a letter, and suddenly couldn't help but talk in private.
"What's going on today? Qi Guogong didn't come, Lu Guogong didn't come, E Guogong (Yichi Jingde) didn't come, and now His Majesty has not come!"
(In the first year of Zhenguan, Changsun Wuji changed his position as Shangshu, and was named the first meritorious person, and he was appointed to the title of Qi Guogong)
"It should be a major event! Since the ascension of the Lord, he has always been diligent and loving the people, and there has never been a situation where he failed to enter the early dynasty!"
"What can happen? Besides, even if there is an accident, it is impossible for so many ministers not to come at the same time~?"
Fang Xuanling could not help but stand up and shout loudly: "If you have anything to do with colleagues, please hand the memorial to Fang. If there is nothing wrong, please return to their respective offices and perform their duties~!"
As the prime minister of the empire, Fang Xuanling was still very prestigious. As soon as his voice fell, Baiguan immediately calmed down.
Qin Qiong's eyes flashed, and he turned away without saying a word. He also felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to visit Cheng's Mansion and Yuchi's Mansion.
…………………
"Te Niang's are all quack doctors. If you don't feed my son, do you want him to starve to death~?"
Chengfu backyard.
Cheng Yaojin patted the stone table in the courtyard with a palm, his eyes were red and furious.
As soon as the voice fell, the stone table burst open from the middle with a "bang" and fell to the ground.
The imperial doctor in front of him said helplessly: "Guogong Lu calmed down, my noble son can't eat right now! You are hurting him by letting him feed him! To tell the truth, His Royal Highness Wang also uses the same treatment method over there. !"
Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "Fart! My old Cheng only knows that if people don't eat, they can't last for many days! You quack doctors can't save people, but they are still harming people here~!"
"Guo Lu, if you insist on letting your son eat, your son will definitely not last three days. If you don't eat, you can at least last five more days!"
The imperial doctor was a little annoyed.
Anyone who is scolded by Cheng Yaojin like a quack doctor would be annoyed!
"Master, don't say anything, let's listen to the doctor!"
Mrs. Cheng wiped her tears and said, pulling her husband who was somewhat irrational.
"Huh! Listen! Butler, immediately send someone to Yunshan and invite Xiaoxuan over!"
Cheng Yaojin brushed his sleeves, turned and left, and ordered.
"Yong'anhou? If Lu Guogong invites Yonganhou over, there may be a direct transfer~!"
The imperial doctor heard Cheng Yaojin mention Li Zexuan, couldn't help his eyes light up, and muttered in his heart.
……………………
"Master Hou, Master Hou, it's not good, something has happened~!"
Yunshan Courtyard.
Li Zexuan was having breakfast with his family in the living room when he heard Pang Feiji howling in ghosts.
"What's all the fuss about? Come here, did you have breakfast? If you haven't eaten, sit down and eat together!"
Li Zexuan looked at Pang Feiji, who was panting at the door, not having a good breath.
"Master Hou, when is this, you... don't eat anymore, something has happened, you go into the city with your subordinates!"
Pang Feiji waved his hand, unable to complain.
Li Zexuan curiously asked, "What the is going on? It's anxious for you~?"
Seeing Li Zexuan's improper appearance, Pang Feiji said directly: "Master Hou, his subordinates have received news. His Royal Highness Wei, as well as Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin, and Sun Zifan, had cholera at the same time yesterday. Life is hanging by a thread, it's at stake! Hou Ye, go and take a look!"
"Cholera~!"
Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li, and Han Yuxi's expressions changed drastically. Li Zexuan was also taken aback. He subconsciously felt that Pang Feiji was talking nonsense. The memory of his previous life told him that cholera was only introduced into China in the last years of the Qing Dynasty! How can such an acute infectious disease appear in this era~?
But from the memory of this body, Li Zexuan discovered that cholera has been recorded in previous medical classics!
After earnestly comparing the memories of the two lives in his mind, Li Zexuan discovered that this cholera is not the other cholera, and there is a substantial difference between the two.
What modern people call cholera usually refers to Huliela, which is an acute diarrheal infectious disease caused by the contamination of food or water with Vibrio cholerae. In the TV series "Crossing Guandong", the Japanese child Ichiro was rescued by Xiuer, but was thrown out by her father because Ichiro might have got Hurera.
For cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae, known as Huliela, scholars mostly believe that it was introduced to China in 1820 in the 25th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. He is based on what Song Rulin said in the preface of Lin Sen's Republished "The Complete Book of Sha Syndrome": "In the autumn of Jiaqing Gengchen (1820), many people suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and Xin Si was even worse the following year." He also said: "This disease began in Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan this year, especially the patients."
In the seven pandemics of cholera in the world, each of them was a severely affected area, and there were many patients in the interval between the two epidemics, and many people died. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the cholera infection was very serious. Sometimes he carried the coffin to the funeral. Before the coffin was carried to the place, he himself died of illness. This is the situation that continuously appeared in Dandong (called An Dong at that time) twenty years after Guangxu.
However, what the ancients called "cholera" does not completely correspond to Huliela. It may also be a simple symptom of vomiting and diarrhea, such as acute gastroenteritis common in summer and autumn. The so-called "Huo" means suddenly, and the so-called "cholera" means sudden illness. This term existed before the Han Dynasty and was not translated in modern times.
As early as in the "Huang Di Nei Jing", there have been related records of cholera. For example, the "Lingshu? Five Chaos" article said: "The disorder in the stomach, it is cholera." "Suwen? On the Change of Qi" says: "The age is not enough~EbookFREE.me~the people are sick and vent cholera". "Su Wen? Six Yuan Zheng Ji Da Lun" said: "The lunar month is full of cholera vomiting."
Most of the plague suffered by the army during the march was cholera. In the case of cholera, the sergeants were killed and wounded severely, and they were almost dead before they even started fighting.
For cholera, the ancients mainly focused on prevention, supplemented by treatment. Generally speaking, there was no particularly good treatment for this Class A infectious disease. During the reign of Jin Dynasty and Taihe, the monks of Guangjiyuan broke out with cholera. One of the scholars used aconite and dried decoction to rescue them. After drinking, they forced out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then they died.
Therefore, the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Office faced Li Tai, whose life was hanging by a thread, collectively helpless. It was not that they were incompetent, but that this cholera was too severe!
"Where is Yongan Hou? Your Majesty summons you to return to Chang'an!"
At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside, awakening Li Zexuan from his dazedness.
