Chapter 531: Disaster Is Coming (Part 2)
His Majesty Li Er had been paying attention to Changsun Chong. At this time, he saw his expression change suddenly. Although his expression was not shaken at all, his wandering eyes were enough to make His Majesty Li Er wary.
According to Li Daozong's report, there must have been some unknown quarrel between Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian. This led to Changsun Chong being close to Li Chengqian, but doing everything he could to secretly undermine Li Chengqian's status as prince.
His Majesty Li Er always feels that Changsun Chong will not be able to stay out of this rebellion, even though there is no evidence at all...
For an emperor, who is rich all over the world and holds the power of life and death for thousands of people, he often does not need any evidence.
It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.
I would rather teach me to betray the world than let the world betray me...
In this age where monarchy is supreme, the emperor's words are the golden rule, so why do we need any evidence?
But Changsun Chong was different from others.
Not to mention His Majesty Li Er's long-term favor and cultivation for him, even if he died, he would be convinced to death. Changsun Wuji alone made His Majesty Li Er a little bit jealous.
Does Changsun Wuji know about these things Changsun Chong did?
If you know it, to what extent?
Is it suspicion? Is it indulgence? Or get involved?
His Majesty Li Er felt that it was difficult to decide. After thinking for a while, he said: "Let him be handed over to Dali Temple."
The guards were ordered to withdraw.
His Majesty Li Er was worried about Princess Gaoyang's injury, so he drove all the ministers away and hurriedly went to deal with the aftermath. He sat next to the soft collapse and sat attentively. No one knew what he was thinking.
Fang Jun stared at the beams, feeling a little empty.
Soon after, the imperial hospital in Chang'an City sent an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Princess Gaoyang. At the same time, a large number of medical officers were dispatched to treat the injured on the top of the mountain together with doctors organized by Chang'an and Wannian counties.
Xi Junmai reported back to Fang Jun dejectedly. Even with the token of Wei King Li Tai, he could not enter Chang'an City.
Fang Jun nodded and ordered him to accompany Liu Rengui to appease the old and young in the village, treat the injured, and bury the dead. All the Hakka slaves of the village who participated in the resistance after the rebels entered the village, no matter whether they were dead or injured or survived, they tried their best to comfort them.
An imperial doctor with a snow-white beard put down the medicine box he was carrying, saluted His Majesty Li Er first, and then examined Princess Gaoyang's injuries.
First, he checked the pulse, nodded slightly, and said: "There is no serious problem at the moment. It may be the shock and pain that caused the coma. The pulse is still a little weak, but it is calm and peaceful, and there is absolutely no danger to life."
Including His Majesty Li Er, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The old imperial doctor went to check the injury again.
The old imperial doctor's beard and hair were white, and his face was covered with wrinkles and many age spots. He was already very old. In addition, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, so although Princess Gaoyang's injuries were relatively obscure, it didn't matter.
After just one glance, the old imperial doctor frowned, and then carefully examined the injury. After a long time, he raised his head and asked in surprise: "I wonder which colleague treated this injury?"
< br>
Changle, Jinyang and Li Tai immediately looked at Fang Jun.
Fang Jun's heart tightened. Could there be any omissions?
He quickly said: "His Highness's injury was treated by me. I am not a doctor, but the situation was urgent and the doctor could not be found, so I dealt with it rashly. But what is wrong with it?"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Nonsense! You don't even understand a monarch, his ministers, and his envoys, and you can't distinguish the taste of medicinal materials, so you dare to deal with Shu'er's injuries rashly? If it makes Shu'er's injury worse, you deserve to die!"
Has this Bang Chui seen any medical skills? He dared to treat his daughter's injuries, which is simply unforgivable!
Fang Jun had actually been holding back a feeling of anger in his heart.
Hearing this, not only did he not panic, but he stiffened his neck and asked: "The situation was urgent at that time. I searched for the doctor to no avail, and the humble minister did not take action. Could it be that I just watched His Highness die from excessive blood loss and wound infection?"
< br>
His Majesty Li Er is furious! He gritted his teeth and cursed: "You bastard, how dare you talk back to me..."
The old imperial doctor quickly stopped the emperor and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty is not blaming the Marquis of Xinxiang for improper handling, but wants to ask what method was used to suppress such a serious injury." Red, swollen and hot?”
"Uh..." His Majesty Li Er was stunned: "You mean, the injury was handled well?"
The old imperial doctor quickly said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true! Your Majesty should know that the fatal injury to such a serious arrow wound is not the arrow wound itself, but the curare carried on the arrow! The injury, which was not serious at first, is It was due to the attack of curare, which caused the wound to fester, causing the injured to become hot all over, and was ultimately fatal! The injured area was probably cleaned with a special kind of medicinal material, so there is still no redness or swelling until now. If the officer’s prediction is true, the curare has been cleaned, and His Highness will be fine! But it was probably because of the lack of hemostatic drugs that the injured area was bandaged.”
His Majesty Li Er has been in the army for half his life, how can he not know the poison of arrows?
When the two armies are fighting, in fact, only a small number of people are actually fighting. Even in the most tragic encounters, the casualty ratio will generally not exceed 20% of the total number of people. A few more deaths and the entire army will collapse...
But among the injured, the death rate reached an astonishing 50%!
What is the reason?
The reason is that arrows carry curare, and swords and guns also carry iron poison. The injury itself may not be fatal, but the ensuing attack of curare and iron poison is the most fatal!
He has never heard that curare and iron poison can be washed away!
While he was a little embarrassed and worried about himself, he was also secretly surprised. What method did this little bastard use to cleanse the curare in Shu'er's body?
If such methods could be used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be possible to greatly reduce the number of casualties?
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly thought that during the Western Expedition, Fang Jun led the Shenji Battalion to guard the rear formation. He also created various reform methods for the wounded battalion, which greatly reduced the death rate from injuries and illnesses. After returning to Beijing, The generals of the wounded barracks also collaborated with Fang Jun to publish a brochure on the reform of the wounded barracks...
Is this little bastard really proficient in medical skills?
He was suspicious in his heart. The old imperial doctor had shaken his sleeves, bowed deeply to Fang Jun, bowed his head, and said solemnly: "I dare to ask the Marquis of Xinxiang, if this method of cleaning wounds does not involve the ancestral tradition. Can you tell me the secret openly? This method of the Marquis can be said to be a feat that will shock the past and the present. It will eliminate the iron poison in one fell swoop, and it will definitely save countless lives and leave a mark in history!”
Fang Jun grinned, what about curare and iron poison, isn't it tetanus? Maybe it's not even a windfall, just a common bacterial infection. It’s just that in ancient times there were no disinfectants such as alcohol and iodine, let alone antibiotics, so we were helpless against bacterial infections.
Fang Jun's jar is highly alcoholic. According to his own estimation, the alcohol concentration will never be lower than 60 degrees, but he has no idea whether it can reach the concentration of medical alcohol. But no matter what, this bottle of wine is definitely the closest thing to alcohol in this era...
Maybe it's not as effective as medical alcohol, but it's not likely to have no effect at all.
Naturally, Fang Jun would not hide this thing.
He said politely: "What's so difficult about this? If you want to know, Fang knows everything. In fact, during the Western Expedition to Gaochang, Fang went through several distillation processes from ordinary wine to obtain this A highly potent alcoholic beverage that is extremely effective in inhibiting wound bacteria. ”
The old imperial doctor frowned: "What are bacteria...?"
"This..." Fang Jun was dumbfounded. This question was too difficult. How to answer it?
He could only say vaguely: "Any object will be contaminated by some tiny things that are invisible to our naked eyes. Normally, these small things will not cause any harm to the human body, but when weapons and other objects penetrate the human body, , these little brothers will enter the human body and destroy the body’s The self-healing mechanism will lead to redness, inflammation, ulceration, etc., and then take away lives. And this high degree of strong alcohol has the effect of killing as many of these little things as possible, of course, just killing as many as possible. Death, it’s impossible to kill them all!”
After saying that, the fearful old doctor asked again what inflammation is and what is the self-recovery mechanism. How should he answer this? Quickly change the subject: "Your Highness has lost too much blood. Please quickly apply hemostatic drugs and bandage."
The old imperial doctor was also shocked. If asking questions delayed the recovery of Her Royal Highness the Princess, would that be a big deal? He quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart, took out the prepared golden sore medicine from the medicine box, and carefully bandaged Princess Gaoyang. (End of chapter)
