The real fifth elder brother in history died at the age of 25 due to a "strange disease", but now this disease is widespread
The fifth elder brother Yongqi and the gentle and lovely little swallow in the TV series have gone through all kinds of hardships and finally become the story of a family, which is still unforgettable for many people.
In real life, the ending of the fifth elder brother is indeed embarrassing, he contracted a strange disease and died at the age of 25.
The strange disease that caused the death of the fifth elder brother at the beginning has now become a common disease. What kind of strange disease does the fifth elder brother have?
Yongqi's strange disease.
According to the Qing imperial physician, Yongqi's illness was bone pain (formerly known as osteoartre).
Imperial physicians believed that after a strong wind, people with weak constitutions suffered from cold, and the disease eventually appeared.
The initial symptoms of the disease are similar to those of a cold and flu, followed by general fatigue, pain and swelling of muscles and bones, and finally unbearable pain in the bones of the whole body, and inability to stretch.
Since Yongqi appeared, his legs and feet have gradually been unable to move, and he is bedridden every day, and after Qianlong heard about it, he often came to visit him and sent the best imperial doctor in the palace to help diagnose and treat him.
But the imperial doctors in the palace also seemed to be helpless, Yongqi's illness became more and more serious, and then Yongqi's whole body was like an awl piercing, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't sleep.
Qianlong visited Yongqi again, Yongqi was as ill as a thread, and the whole person was weak and very affected.
In order to alleviate Yongqi's condition, Qianlong planned to seal him up like a prince and flush the toilet, so that Yongqi could persevere** as soon as possible**.
But in the end, it backfired, and Yongqi died shortly after becoming seriously ill, but he was grateful for Qianlong's mercy, which made Qianlong even more distressed.
Under the double torture of illness and spirit, Yongqi still failed to survive the winter of Qianlong's 31st year, and finally died of illness at the age of 25.
Osteochondrosis. In fact, osteochondrosis was not an incurable disease at the time. The book "Yizong Jinjian" compiled by the imperial physician of the Qing Dynasty pointed out that this disease can be treated and **.
Therefore, Qianlong knew the cause of death of several doctors in charge of **Yongqi.
He hated these quacks for not understanding Yongqi's condition, and they delayed it again and again, and finally couldn't ** at all.
In fact, Qianlong is very important to Yongqi, although Yongqi is Qianlong's fifth son, his mother-in-law is just a concubine, but Yongqi has been smart and studious since he was a child, has a wealth of knowledge about ancient and modern Chinese and foreign things, can read fluently, and is very good at oral communication in Mongolian, Chinese and other languages, and is also proficient in riding and archery.
Yongqi often went hunting to practice his riding and archery skills Xi his death, and Qianlong would let Yongqi accompany him if he wanted to go to the royal hunting grounds, so he would accompany him on the left and right.
Qianlong felt very sorry for Yongqi's death, and he wanted to find out the reason for Yongqi's stubborn illness.
However, given the sanitary conditions of the Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to find out**. Some people speculate that Yongqi's illness may be due to frequent hunting on horseback, and he suffered from wind and cold, which caused bone disease.
In fact, periostitis is known in modern Chinese medicine"Bone boils"or"Bone boils"。While"Osteomyelitis"is called"Peosteitis", which is caused by a bacterial infection of the bone marrow, which causes the bone to decay.
It may sound a little strange, but this disease is equivalent to the suppurative osteomyelitis that is common in Western medicine.
The disease is most common in children, especially those under the age of ten. It occurs in the extremities and must be done as soon as possible**, otherwise amputation may be required at a later stage.
Metaphyseal gangrene** involves immobilizing the injured area with a splint.
If pus is present in the bone, the pus should be drained after the lesion is separated from the bone, and then disinfected and cleaned to ensure that no pus remains and **.
If the bone has been necrotic, it must be removed immediately and cannot be left in the body, otherwise it will cause infection and necrosis in other parts.
For modern people, epiphyseal gangrene is absolutely not life-threatening if it is timely.
But for Yongqi, who lived in ancient times, his backward physical condition could only make him endure torture, and eventually his bones became purulent and necrotic, and he died of a long-term illness.
If he is still alive, he may not be able to become Emperor Jiaqing, but unfortunately God is jealous of talents, and what happened to Yongqi is indeed embarrassing.
