Chapter 217: The Imperial Court Builds Momentum
Doctor Liu thought to himself, if you hadn't taken the lead, I would have already taken the pulse.
Thinking about this, he quickly bowed and stepped forward to take the emperor's pulse.
After taking the pulse carefully, he bowed to His Majesty and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your pulse is strong and regular. You no longer show any signs of weakness. It's no worse than that of a middle-aged man." Doctor Liu said excitedly.
I was even more excited. What kind of panacea is this? It's simply a miracle.
The people in the Imperial Hospital have all studied your Majesty's pulse. You were clearly in a weak state before, and it was a blessing that you could barely hold on for three to five years. Now, after just one night and most of a day, your Majesty has become like a middle-aged man.
Thinking of this, Doctor Liu hesitated and then said, "Your Majesty, your pulse has changed too much. I suggest that the Xuan Imperial Hospital hold a collective consultation. I hope Your Majesty will consider your health and approve my suggestion."
The emperor thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission." Imperial Physician Liu bowed hurriedly.
"Pei Ming, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me. I want to write back to my grandson." said the emperor.
"I obey your command." Eunuch Pei went down and gave the order with a smile on his face.
In fact, as soon as he woke up, the emperor felt the difference in himself, although he did not increase his internal strength like his grandson.
But after years of reading memorials, my eyes had already become blurry, but today when I woke up, I could see things exceptionally clearly.
The heaviness I felt when I woke up every morning was gone. I felt more relaxed than ever before, as if I had endless energy.
I haven't felt such physical relaxation in decades.
At first, I didn't dare to believe it, thinking it was an illusion caused by sleeping for too long. It was not until I heard the diagnosis of Dr. Liu that I dared to believe it.
It seems that the medicine my grandson found for me is truly a miracle medicine.
The emperor was lost in thought when Eunuch Pei brought him a brush, ink, paper and inkstone, smiling and saying, "Your Majesty, the brush, ink, paper and inkstone are ready. Do you think you should summon a Hanlin scholar to write for you?"
"No need, bring it up here, I will write it myself," said the emperor.
"Yes." Eunuch Pei responded quickly, and asked the eunuch to bring a small table and place it on the dragon bed, and then put writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
After a brief thought, Huangdi wrote down his reaction after drinking the spiritual dew, as well as his own changes and the imperial physician's diagnosis.
Then I thought again that I had to have a consultation later, so I stopped writing and waited.
Eunuch Pei was always paying attention to the emperor's actions. When he saw the emperor stop writing, he asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"
The emperor closed his mouth speechlessly and said helplessly: "Pei Ming, Pei Ming, I just woke up, you can't even hope for me to get better."
Eunuch Pei immediately knelt on the ground, slapped himself lightly a few times, and said with a smile: "Look at my stinky mouth, I made the master unhappy. Isn't this because I am worried about the master?"
The emperor was amused by his behavior. "Stand up, you are old and weak, don't kneel down at every turn. I can't really punish you for a few words."
"Thank you, my master, for caring about me. As long as you are well, I will be willing to kneel down and serve you every day." Eunuch Pei said with a smile.
The master and servant talked for a while, and Eunuch Pei told His Majesty everything that had happened that day and night, in detail.
As the master and servant were talking, a young eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the chief of the Imperial Hospital and a group of imperial doctors want to see you."
The emperor said, "Let them in."
"Call in all the imperial physicians to see the emperor." The young eunuch went to the outer room and announced.
The director of the Imperial Hospital came in with a group of imperial doctors. They immediately put down their medicine boxes, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, we are here to see you."
"Please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then the imperial doctors came forward one by one to check the emperor's pulse and finally came to the conclusion that the emperor was not only in good health, but also seemed to be ten years younger. Moreover, all the chronic diseases and old illnesses that he had suffered for many years had disappeared.
The chief physician of the Imperial Hospital led all the imperial physicians to kneel before the emperor and said happily, "God bless our Great Xia. Your Majesty has obtained such a miraculous medicine that has cured all the serious illnesses in your body. This is a miracle."
"God bless Daxia! God bless Daxia!"
The emperor was also happy to receive the affirmation from the imperial doctors.
"Pass on my order. Everyone in the palace will be rewarded." The emperor said happily. "Tell the ministers to come to the imperial study to see me."
"Thank you very much for your reward, Your Majesty. I will ask someone to arrange it right away." Eunuch Pei kowtowed happily to express his gratitude, then took the order and went down to make the arrangements.
The imperial doctors also knelt down happily and kowtowed, saying, "We thank your majesty for the reward. We will take our leave."
"Xu Yuanzheng, please stay and help me set up the imperial study," the emperor said to the Yuanzheng of the Imperial Hospital.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I obey your command." said the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital.
The Emperor did not attend court today, and all the civil and military officials in the court did not even see the Emperor, so they are worried now.
After hearing the news that His Majesty had summoned the elder, everyone tried their best to mobilize their connections to get some information.
The ministers rushed over in a hurry, and only felt relieved when they saw the rosy complexion of His Majesty.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
"Please excuse me, my dear friends."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I called you all here today because I have good news to tell you. My body is now healthy."
Upon hearing this, all the ministers were shocked and suspected that they had heard it wrongly.
Your Majesty's pulse has always been highly confidential and no one has been able to find out. However, Your Majesty vomited blood a few years ago, and his spirit has been getting worse day by day since he recovered. So when they learned that Your Majesty was ill this time, all the court officials were worried that the situation would change.
Now, I have heard this great news from His Majesty. "Your Majesty, are you serious?" Lord Chen asked in shock.
"Sir, I am serious. Xu Yuanzheng came here with me. You can ask him if you have any questions." said the emperor.
The ministers all turned their attention to Xu Yuanzheng.
Xu Yuanzheng said excitedly: "My dear ministers, it is true. The Imperial Hospital has reached a conclusion after consultation. You can take a look at the pulse records of yesterday and today."
As Xu Yuanzheng was speaking, he handed the two pulse cases he had sorted out to the ministers for circulation.
Everyone was excited and delighted after seeing this, and Lord Chen even cried a few times while holding the pulse case.
After finally calming down, he returned the pulse case to Xu Yuanzheng and told him with great care, "Keep it well, keep it well!"
"Yes, Lord Chen." Xu Yuanzheng put it away as he was told.
Chen Ge Lao wiped his tears with his sleeves and choked up, "Your Majesty, it is truly God who blesses our Great Xia, God who blesses our Great Xia! Such a miracle has been bestowed upon our Great Xia! Your Majesty should announce it to the world and celebrate with the people."
"That's right, Your Majesty. This news should be spread throughout Daxia, so that those villains can know who is the one favored by heaven."
The emperor smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, thinking of the cooperation matters mentioned in his grandson's letter, the fine horses, the high-yield breeds, and the glass recipe that made a fortune every day.
He said to his ministers with satisfaction: "Let's leave this matter to you, my dears. Daxia is indeed a country blessed by heaven."
Then, the imperial court posted a notice, announcing the news that Great Xia was blessed by heaven, the emperor's illnesses were cured in one day, the whole country celebrated, and the people were exempted from taxes for three years.
