Chapter 816 In Prison(1/2)
Although there are records in ancient books about Artemisia annua treatment for malaria.
As a judge of the Imperial Hospital, Liu Wentai reads medical books and has rich experience in practicing medicine.
He naturally knew.
Artemisia annua treats malaria, but its effectiveness is not very good.
In addition, Emperor Hongzhi has been weak since childhood.
A medicine that is not very effective is used on him.
It is probably even less effective.
If Zhu Houzhao and the Lords prepare, if the emperor may be helpless.
Liu Wentai dared not say it again.
If you don’t say it out, it doesn’t mean that Zhu Houzhao doesn’t understand.
After getting the exact diagnosis and treatment, Zhu Houzhao didn't know what reaction he had.
The drowsy Emperor Hongzhi alternated with cold and cold on the bed.
It seems that I heard these words too.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, and his heart was filled with pain.
I originally wanted to find a treasure mine on the island of Japan, which would make the Ming Dynasty even more powerful.
But I don't want to.
This brought a catastrophe to myself.
malaria……
Merchant ships going to sea will stop in Luzon to replenish supplies.
The climate there is indeed prone to malaria plague.
really……
Is he too anxious?
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were filled with gloomy, but there was nothing we could do.
Just as he was about to force himself to let Zhu Houzhao tell him that several elders of the cabinet came over and he wanted to entrust his orphans.
Liu Ruyu, who had never had any sense of existence there, suddenly made a sound, breaking the tranquility in the hall.
At the same time, it brought him hope.
"Your Highness, I have something to report."
Zhu Houzhao looked at him again.
At this time, do you still have to talk about state affairs?
He felt sad and suddenly became angry for no reason.
"Liu Qing's family, I said that my father is sick, so I will go to the cabinet for political affairs!"
"When you come back, let's discuss it!"
Zhu Houzhao's tone was not good.
Liu Ruyu didn't say anything else, held the letter in his hands and handed it over.
Now that he is sure that His Majesty is infected with malaria, Liu Ruyu breathes a sigh of relief.
"I said, political affairs..."
Liu Ru interrupted Zhu Houzhao's words foolishly.
"Your Highness, I'm brave."
"This letter was written by the Marquis of Dingxi, and I asked me to bring it into the palace and hand it over to Your Majesty himself."
Written by Dingxi Hou?
Zhu Houzhao felt aroused when he heard these three words.
He just said that he would not deal with political affairs, but his hand had subconsciously raised it and took the letter.
Liu Ruyu continued: "The letter from Dingxi Hou recorded the treatment of malaria."
"My father suddenly suffered from malaria yesterday. After treatment with Dingxi Hou, his health has improved today."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall again.
Zhu Houzhao widened her eyes and couldn't believe it: "How to treat malaria?"
He suddenly looked at Liu Wentai and Gao Tinghe on the side.
Liu Wentai originally wanted to say it was ridiculous, how can this malaria be cured?
This Liu Shangshu probably just happened to be cured when he encountered a dead mouse.
But thinking of Zhao Ce's previous magical method of preventing smallpox, he felt that this might be true.
However, Gao Tinghe, who was standing beside him, couldn't stand it anymore.
He asked directly: "What method did Dingxi Hou use to treat malaria?"
"Isn't it that I used Artemisia annua as well?"
Zhu Houzhao came to her senses and quickly opened the letter.
While watching, I was distracted to listen to Liu Ruyu talking beside me.
"Not Artemisia annua."
"The letter from Dingxi Hou said that there is a kind of tree that grows opposite the sea."
"This tree is called Jinjina Tree. Its bark can be used to treat malaria thoroughly!"
What cinchona tree?
I haven't heard of it before!
Gao Tinghe immediately denied: "It's really nonsense!"
"I have never heard of this tree, so how can I use it for your Majesty to use medicine?"
"If a piece of bark can really treat malaria, how could no one have discovered it for thousands of years?"
joke!
Their imperial doctors were helpless about malaria.
Dingxi Hou said that the bark could be cured.
If this is not what they are too incompetent in the imperial physician, or the Dingxi Hou is too incompetent.
Liu Ruyu retorted: "But my father was cured by this law."
"The medicine I drank last night has completely subsided today."
Gao Tinghe was originally dissatisfied with Zhao Ce's previous method of dealing with smallpox.
They have to be vaccinated with cowpox.
This is a dirty thing on the beast!
Now it is said that bark is enough for malaria.
And this medicine is still used on the emperor, can he use it casually?
Gao Tinghe said: "Although malaria is a life-threatening death, there are people who have recovered."
"Mr. Liu is very blessed, and I guess he is the lucky one among them."
"I really don't agree with it if I want to use some medicine on Your Majesty that I have never heard of!"
Liu Wentai, who was standing beside him, suddenly said: "Two Jinyiweis also had symptoms of malaria."
"Why let them try the efficacy of the medicine?"
Zhu Houzhao also read the letter and raised her head.
At this time, his eyes had lit up again, with hope.
Although they have never heard of this kind of tree, Zhao Ce said that it can cure malaria, which sounds very unrestrained.
But he was always willing to believe Zhao Ce's words.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Judge Liu Yuan said it well."
"Let the infected person test the effect and try a few more."
"After confirming that there is no problem, use it on your father."
"This method is the most appropriate!"
Liu Ruyu was a little hesitant.
