An epidemic broke out in the capital, and the news of Zhenwu's illness spread to the Rehe Summer Resort at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.
In Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, Xinuang Pavilion, Kangxi, who had always had difficulty moving, unexpectedly stood up after reading the letter and stared blankly to the southwest. Li Dequan, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. , what happened, caused the emperor, who had always been a mountain to collapse, but remained calm, to react so hugely?
After pondering for a long time, Kangxi said in a deep voice: "Prepare the car immediately, I want to return to the capital overnight."
???????? Returning to the capital overnight, just with this body and bones? Li Dequan immediately realized that something big had happened to the capital, and he did not dare to let go of Kangxi. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous to dare to travel at night."
"Talk too much." Kangxi gave him a sharp look.
Li Dequan shrank in fright and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I will make arrangements right away."
The capital, Changchun Garden.
When Prince Yinxiang of Yijun hurried to the gate of Changchun Garden after arranging things for Fengtai Camp and Shunyi Camp, it was already setting sun. He had just got off his horse. Prince Lian Yin, Prince Yin of Dun, and Prince Raojun Yin , Qingbeile, Yin and the others hurriedly came over to greet them. Without any greetings, Yin directly asked: "Has everything been settled?"
Yinxiang nodded and said, "I'll leave my seventeenth brother to guard the Fengtai camp. Everything will be fine. Is there any news from the emperor?"
"No news has come out." Yin sighed lightly and said, "I just heard from the imperial doctor that another eunuch died in the garden."
"Brothers, there is no need to be anxious." Yinxiang said softly: "Since the Emperor has not summoned us, it means that the Emperor's condition has not reached the worst point, or that the Emperor is confident that he can survive it. Otherwise, it would be impossible not to summon us. brother."
Hearing these words, Yin nodded slightly and said: "Thirteenth brother, what you said makes sense. The emperor is thoughtful and thoughtful. If you don't have confidence, you must give an explanation."
After pondering for a while, Yincai ordered in a deep voice: "Go down and take the Eight Banners princes and honorable ministers to the study room. The ministers of various ministries camped on the spot and were on duty. The other officials went back to their homes and prayed for the emperor in the mansion. All Taoist temples in the capital day and night Keep praying for the emperor."
As night fell, Changchun Garden fell into darkness. Only the front hall of Dan Ningju was brightly lit. From time to time, bursts of medicinal fragrance came from the east courtyard. In the side room, a group of imperial doctors were arguing fiercely in low voices. Everyone had different opinions on this case, which they had never encountered before. However, they did not dare to prescribe medicine easily to Zhenwu. Fortunately, there were still several experimental subjects, so they had the opportunity to argue endlessly.
Because the time from onset of illness to death was only five days, all the imperial doctors were extremely anxious. The debate did not take long. The imperial doctors quickly decided to use prescriptions to rescue the remaining five people separately.
Tan Ning lived in the front hall, Zhenwu had been sleeping drowsily all day, but he was very awake at this time. He had not summoned Lao Ba Lao Shi San and other brothers to arrange the funeral arrangements. One was because he was worried that he might be infected with them, and the other was He was also worried about causing turmoil in the capital. Kangxi received an express report that he would rush back to the capital within three days at the latest. He could afford to wait.
Looking at the flickering candlelight in front of the bed, the scenes after time travel slowly replayed in his mind like a movie. A group of brothers came to visit the house, met Kangxi for the first time, went to the south of the Yangtze River to build the navy, and fought the Penghu naval battle. Disaster relief in Fujian, petition to develop Taiwan, establishing one's own business, Jiangnan scientific expedition case, Tianjin mutiny
"This servant wishes to express my regards to the concubine Qi. May the concubine be blessed with good luck."
"I want to go in to see the Emperor."
"Mother, the emperor has fallen asleep."
"I knew it, so I just sat aside and watched quietly."
"Mother, this is an epidemic."
"Step aside!"
Hearing Zhang Mengjiao's reluctant voice, Zhenwu smiled slightly, turned his head, glanced at Bao Fuquan who was waiting on the side, and said softly: "Let her in."
Zhang Mengjiao walked in quickly and saw Zhenwu looking at her with a faint smile on his face. Before he spoke, tears fell down like broken threads. She didn't even salute and sat directly in front of Zhenwu. , looking at him with hazy eyes.
"Don't cry, it won't be beautiful if you cry." Zhenwu said softly.
"Concubine, please don't cry." Zhang Mengjiao wiped away her tears and forced a smile on her face, saying: "Your Majesty, with your good fortune and good fortune, will definitely be able to turn disaster into good fortune. The Penghu naval battle, the Tianjin mutiny, and other such big things, the Emperor will be able to escape unscathed. This idea How can the Emperor do anything about a minor illness?"
Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "You're right. How can I do anything about this minor illness? It'll be over soon. I haven't taken you to Nanyang yet. I can't break my promise."
"The emperor's golden words cannot be broken." Zhang Mengxi?As he spoke, he gently pulled up his
"I can still clearly remember the first time I met you. Six years have passed in a blink of an eye." Zhenwu said, but suddenly his breathing became rapid, and a look of pain appeared on his face. Zhang Mengjiao stood up quickly and said: "Physician, call the physician quickly!"
The imperial doctor who was guarding the door rushed in to check his pulse, and then quickly applied acupuncture to relieve Zhenwu's pain. After a long while, Benwu fell into a deep sleep again.
The sky is getting brighter and another day has passed.
Yin got out of the tent and saw Yin Xiang standing motionless outside the tent, looking in the direction of Dan Ningju in Changchun Garden. He knew that he was also very anxious. He was afraid that he had not slept all night last night, so he immediately stepped forward and asked : "Did any news come out in the garden yesterday?"
"No." Yinxiang shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Dan Ningju is brightly lit all night."
"I'll guard you, go and close your eyes." Yin said with concern.
"I can't sleep at all." Yinxiang sighed softly and said: "When it comes to the long-term vision, no one in the Qing Dynasty can look beyond the emperor's neck. In terms of economics, no one can match the emperor in the slightest. They expand rapidly and are determined to innovate internally. , everything has just begun, if we give up halfway, the consequences will be disastrous, and Thirteen will really not be able to sleep."
As he spoke, he turned his head, glanced at Yin, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said, "Bago must also have been unable to sleep all night.
Yin smiled bitterly and said: "I usually don't realize it, but the emperor's illness makes his heart feel as if he has lost his backbone and is empty. The stalls in the Qing Dynasty are really too big now, even if the emperor is here. Boss, I¡¯m afraid it will be difficult to cope with it.¡±
As the two of them were talking, officials from the capital began to arrive one after another. Everyone was in a state of anxiety. All the officials knew that the Qing Dynasty could live without anyone, but it could not live without them. With this fickle master, so many half-baked innovations depended on him.
No one dares to underestimate these innovations that Zhenwu has worked on. Just look at the "Four Constants" and you will know. Who could have thought that the "Four Constants" could have such a big effect? ??And I heard that the "Four Constants" also have Many effects have not been played out. God knows what backup Zhenwu's innovations have? The life of merchants and common people is now better, but the good days Zhenwu promised to their officials have not yet begun.
Not only officials came one after another, but countless bannermen, merchants and common people also began to rush to the vicinity of Changchun Garden, silently looking at Changchun Garden, secretly praying to God to bless this man who brought them unlimited hope. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
At the beginning of noon, Kangxi's Luan Jia arrived at Changchun Garden.
All the royal family, princes, nobles, civil and military ministers knelt three times and kowtowed to welcome the Supreme Emperor, who had not been seen for more than a year. However, Kangxi's Luan Jia drove into Changchun Garden without stopping at all, from Chengde to the capital. , along the way, Kangxi would receive reports from the capital every hour. Knowing that the epidemic in Changchun Garden was not transmitted from person to person, he naturally had no scruples.
After entering the garden, Kangxi immediately summoned the imperial physician from the imperial hospital. After learning that the disease would lead to death five days after the onset of the disease, and that three of the nine people who had contracted the disease had already died, and none of them survived the fifth day, he was heartbroken. It hit rock bottom immediately, and it was already the third day since Zhenwu fell ill.
At this moment, Fuldan hurriedly came in and reported: "Reporting to the Emperor, an imperial doctor is outside and is anxious to see Sun Zhiding, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital."
Kangxi perked up and hurriedly ordered: "Bring him in."
After the imperial doctor came in, he knelt down and said: "Zheng Cao Danian, the imperial physician of Weichen Imperial Hospital, respectfully wishes His Majesty the Emperor to be in peace."
"Why are you so anxious to see Sun Zhiding?" Kangxi asked slowly.
"Going back to the Supreme Emperor, only two people died in Jifengxuan today." Cao Danian hurriedly bowed.
Kangxi was stunned when he heard that two more people died today!
When Sun Zhiding, the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, heard this, he was overjoyed and asked, "Is there anyone alive?"
"Yes, and he was the first eunuch among the three to get sick. Counting the time, he has already survived for five days." Cao Danian said with a rather excited expression.
Someone survived five days! Kangxi was overjoyed and couldn't help but look at Sun Zhiding. Only then did Sun Zhiding realize that he had lost his composure and hurriedly bowed and said: "Wei Chen has lost his manners in front of you. Please give me a look."
Kangxi interrupted him immediately and said: "Excuse me, go find out the reason quickly."
After everyone left, Kangxi entered the front hall of Dan Ningju with the support of two eunuchs. Seeing Kangxi come in, Zhenwu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Kangxi would not come, so he hurriedly called Bao Fuquan helped him up.
Kangxi saw that he had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, so he hurriedly said: "Lie down, it's better to lie down."
Zhenwu still stubbornly asked Bao Fuquan to put a quilt on the bed and half lie down.He said: "Huang Ama has returned to Beijing, and Huang Er is relieved."
Kangxi looked at him and said with a solemn expression: "You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. No one can clean up the stall of the Qing Dynasty except you. You can't relax. The emperor is old and has low energy. How can you bear to let the emperor Will Malay bear this burden? In addition, someone finally survived the fifth day today, and the imperial doctor is discussing prescriptions. The disease is not incurable."
Someone survived five days! Zhenwu's spirit was also lifted. Whether it was because of his strong physical strength or the effectiveness of the medicine and stone, it was a great encouragement to him that someone could survive five days. He hurriedly said: "What the Emperor Ama taught is, the Emperor I will never give up."
