In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a famous doctor named Xue Fuchen, who was highly skilled in medicine and was greatly famous for saving lives and helping the injured, especially because he was recruited into the palace to treat Empress Dowager Cixi.
Xue Fuchen, a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. In 1855, Xue Fuchen took part in the Shuntianxiang Examination and was the second in the middle. Later, in the official field, the official to the deputy capital of the Imperial Household, was called "Zhongcheng".
Xue Fuchen's housekeeping skill is medical skill. Because of his superb medical skills, and his reputation is shocked, this is also the stepping stone and paving stone for his career to rise all the way.
In 1880, he was conscripted into the palace to treat Empress Dowager Cixi, and he was even more talked about by the world.
Legend has it that once, perhaps because she had been sitting on the "Dragon Chair" for too long, Cixi actually had a boil on her hip. Of course, boils are not a big problem, but the doctors are helpless, on the one hand, because they are "incompetent" - most of them are quacks, on the other hand, they are "worried" - do not dare to touch the empress's ass.
A boil can't be cured, and Cixi is very angry. At this time, Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, took the initiative to stand up for him and solve his worries, and he pushed Xue Fuchen to treat his illness.
Xue Fuchen was also very embarrassed to receive this glorious and sacred task, after all, the tiger's ass could not be touched, and Lafayette's ass was even more untouchable. To this end, Xue Fuchen came up with a good way: through gold and silver to buy Cixi's confidant eunuch Li Lianying. As a result, Li Lianying revealed a small detail to him: the blood stains on Cixi's cushion.
Through this small detail, Xue Fuchen judged the location of Cixi's boils. When examining the pulse, he first made a fuss about it, and then installed a small spike in the place where Cixi was sitting. After Cixi came, she sat down as before, and a magical scene was born, and the spikes happened to puncture the boils on her ass, causing the evil pus to flow out of it.
Cixi jumped up in pain, and in anger, she wanted to directly ask Xue Fuchen to be dragged out to ask for a chop. But then the pain in her ass disappeared, and she felt relaxed, so she turned angry into joy, so she rewarded Xue Fuchen, who was already kneeling on the ground and trembling.
Coincidentally, on another occasion, Cixi always said that her stomach hurt, and as a result, after the doctors examined their pulses, they were frightened one by one, but they were silent. After Cixi angrily scolded them as "rice buckets", she had to find Xue Fuchen again.
After Xue Fuchen took the pulse for Cixi, he immediately knew that Cixi was pregnant. But the problem was that Cixi's husband, the Xianfeng Emperor, was long dead, and she naturally did not dare to talk about it, so she would rather be scolded than silent.
Of course, Xue Fuchen couldn't say it explicitly, otherwise he would not only not be able to save the black hat, but also his life would be difficult to protect. After a little thought, he said to Cixi: "The empress dowager is working hard for the country, her heart is exhausted, her qi and blood are blocked, and it is accumulated in the abdomen. Once the qi and blood are smooth, the phoenix body is naturally healthy. ”
Cixi was very happy to hear this, so she said, "Please Ask Ai Qing to prescribe the prescription." ”
Of course, Xue Fuchen knew the prescription he prescribed, and the tai doctors were definitely going to "read it", but if the tai doctors said that he prescribed a pill to beat the fetus, it would be a failure and a capital offense. Therefore, his mind turned and he said, "The empress dowager is expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary medicines to be quickly effective." The Weichen family has ancestral secret medicine pills, just boil into a soup to take it, and it will be able to cure the disease. ”
In response, Cixi made an exception and approved his request.
In fact, of course, Xue Fuchen did not have any panacea, and after he left the palace, he quickly dispensed three doses of anti-fetal medicine at the pharmacy, and then asked the servants to fry it well, and the next day he took it to the palace for Cixi to take.
After that, he also asked the palace to set up a "thousand layers of cloth" to cover people's eyes and ears, and set up a "silt well" to destroy the corpse after giving birth to the fetus. Three days later, Yi Yi passed on the message: "The empress dowager's blood has fallen, and Xue Aiqing can leave the palace." ”
Xue Fuchen's nerves after three days of mention were finally put down, he breathed a long sigh of relief, after leaving the palace, he did not return to his apartment, and went straight to the station to borrow a fast horse and went straight to his hometown in Wuxi.
His move proved sensible. Cixi woke up after the fetus, and she thought to herself that if this matter were to spread out, where would her old face go? So he immediately sent several great masters and told them to secretly kill Xue Fuchen.
As a result, ouchi master pounced on his apartment. Cixi was not willing, and sent people to chase after Xue Fuchen's hometown of Wuxi. But what they saw was a different scene: Xue Fuchen's hometown was doing a funeral for him, and the Ouchi master saw a funeral procession, and the team was draped in ma dai filial piety, holding up a banner, and running around the far side towards Huishan. When the Ouchi master asked, he realized that Xue Fuchen had suddenly fallen seriously ill and died.
Several Ouchi masters listened to each other and smiled, so they returned to Beijing to make an errand.
In fact, this is a play starring Xue Fuchen, he did not die at all, but he escaped the disaster by pretending to be ill. It is said that from then on, Wuxi gave birth to such a proverb: the coffin on the head of the city - far away from the turn.
