No. 37 The plague is rampant Thank you for not destroying the heavens and the earth for yourself.

Since ancient times, smallpox has no cure, and all those who are infected with this plague, nine out of ten, are all killed here, but there are very few survivors.

Now, Meng Yi said wildly that he could solve smallpox, which couldn't help but make people jaw-dropping.

For example, in ancient times, smallpox, plague, plague and other diseases can be regarded as plagues, but if you get the plague, you are basically asking for more blessings, life and death have a life and wealth in the sky, and it depends on whether you are dead or not?

To put it more bluntly, smallpox in ancient times is like today's cancer, and it depends on fate if you survive.

The weight of Meng Yi's words is heavy enough, not only the ministers, but even Qin Shi Huang sighed and said, "Meng Yi, I know that you have some wisdom, but there are some things that you can't say nonsense. ”

"This is a smallpox disease, and it is not possible for human beings to control it, nor can you do it by brushing your lips."

Don't say that Yingzheng doesn't believe it, and no one else will believe his words. At that time, Meng Yi said that when you met a magic stick on the side of the road today, he said that it can cure cancer, AIDS and other diseases, and your first reaction is that this person is a fool or an idiot.

And Meng Yi's words, to others, why not?

"This is a natural disaster, and the boy knows that smallpox will not be easy."

"Are you sure?"

"Nope."

Meng Yi replied without hesitation, without concealing it at all, and his answer was refreshing enough.

"What? No!! ”

Meng Yi replied: "The disease of smallpox is indeed a tricky thing, and I am not completely sure, but the kid is willing to give it a try." ”

Since ancient times, many famous doctors have not solved the problem, how can an ignorant teenager like Meng Yi have full certainty?

"Have you figured it out? Once smallpox is infected, I don't need to say anything more about what happened to it. The First Emperor said.

Meng Yi smiled indifferently: "Of course the kid knows the fate of smallpox, but I have to try anyway." ”

"Why do you insist on this?"

"Because I want to protect the woman I love, even if it is death." In Meng Yi's eyes, he saw a trace of emotion, and his determined eyes revealed a sense of perseverance.

Seeing him so stubborn, Ying Zheng said helplessly: "Since you insist on this, then let it be you, as for whether you live or die?" Just leave it to fate. ”

"Your Majesty, the kid must go all out."

Seeing that the First Emperor agreed, Meng Yi said again: "The kid still has one more thing, and he has the courage to ask for it." ”

"What?"

"If the kid can solve the disease of smallpox, please let your majesty spare the eldest princess."

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng said, "I can promise you, but only for a limited time, during which I can not kill those who suffer from smallpox. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Don't worry about Xie Zhen, I just said that there must be a time limit, if you drag it out for a year and a half, then the city will be full of poison, this responsibility is not as simple as killing you."

"Boy understands."

"It's good to know, ten days, if you can't solve it within ten days, don't complain and kill."

"Isn't it too short?"

The First Emperor stretched out five fingers and said, "Ten days, this is my biggest concession, if you can't do it, I will not only take you for the crime, but your family will also be blamed." ”

If today's flowers spread and poison Xianyang City, in five days, more people will be infected, as an emperor, you must not joke with the lives of the people.

Meng Yi also knew this, and said: "Okay, ten days is ten days, if the kid can't crack smallpox in five days, the kid will come to see him." ”

"Okay, then expect you to perform in ten days."

Although Meng Yi said so firmly, the First Emperor did not expect anything from him, after all, you can't ask a cook to do the work of a doctor, although both of them are armed with knives, but the essence is different.

In the streets of Xianyang, there should be a flow of people, since the outbreak of smallpox, there are few people on the street, for a time, the capital is like a ghost town, bleak and lonely.

Returning to the mansion from the top of the court, the Mongol Mansion did not sit down, and he quickly devoted himself to the study of the fight against smallpox. Time waits for no one, he only has five days.

This agreement to gamble with one's life must not be lost.

In the study, countless words flashed in Meng Yi's mind, in his previous life, he read a lot of books, and remembered reading an ancient book, called: "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription"

The book reads: "When I was sick, I still had sores on my head, face and body. It is circumferential, like a fire sore, and it is loaded with white pulp. With the end of life, those who do not cure the drama will die more, and those who are poorly treated will have purple and black sores and will be extinguished before they die, this vicious atmosphere. ”

What Fang said is all symptoms, and the treatment for smallpox recorded at the end of the book seems to be......

How to plant pox!

However, this book was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a hundred years later than the Qin Dynasty, so the Qin people did not know the essence of this method. Therefore, this is also the reason why Meng Yi dared to say that he could cure smallpox.

Unlike modern times, vaccines can be extracted artificially and antibodies can be produced by injection to protect against the smallpox virus. And the so-called "pox" is similar to the vaccine.

However, this method has a certain danger, if it is not accurately mastered, it is likely to kill the person who has pox.

To put it bluntly, the pox planting method is to fight poison with poison.

Thinking of this, Meng Yi hurriedly came to Ying Zisu's room, and despite the threat of infection, he began his treatment.

At this time, Meng Yi gently rolled up her sleeves, took a burst of embroidery needles, and roasted them with fire for a while, and then gently punctured the acne rash, and a stream of white pulp seeped out of the skin.

This seemingly ordinary action is actually a test of skill, and if you are not careful, you will infect yourself.

The sweat on Meng Yi's forehead kept flowing out, soaking through his clothes.

He took a piece of asbestos, dipped it in a little white pulp, and when everything was ready, he put the asbestos in the nostrils of Ying Shiso, and slowly blew it into her ears and nose with a silver tube.

(ps: The "pox method" here is a method used by those who have not been infected with smallpox, in fact, there was no medicine that could treat smallpox in ancient times, and it was written purely for the needs of the plot.) )

When everything was over, Meng Yi wiped the sweat on his forehead, don't look at the simple "pox method", it is definitely a test of a person's skills.

In the process, you need to master a quantity, once it is excessive, it is not to save people, but to kill.

Pushing open the door, Xiang Yu and the others were waiting outside the door, and seeing the son coming step by step, everyone hurriedly asked, "Young master, how is the situation?" ”

"Now there is no conclusive conclusion, if there is a scab phenomenon within ten days, it means that the pox is successful, and the eldest princess can still be saved." Meng Yi said, "Qing'er, you and Xiao Yu go to the suburbs to pick some grass." ”

"Grass? This thing is like to eat cattle and sheep, and the house does not raise cattle and sheep in captivity, I don't know what the young master uses it for. Qing'er said.

Meng Yi said with a smile: "Naturally, it is useful, you can pick it." ”

Although it does not have the effect of directly curing smallpox, it can assist in removing toxins from the body, thereby alleviating the epidemic of smallpox, which can be said to be infinitely useful.

Although they didn't know what the young master wanted to do, the two of them still did it and picked a lot of sagebrush.

The people in the house didn't understand what the son wanted, but they saw that he would pick the herbs, decoction them in water, and give them to Ying Shisu in person every day.

In the past few days, a large-scale smallpox epidemic has broken out in Xianyang, which seems to be against Meng Yi.

In just a few days, hundreds of people were infected with smallpox.

In the Xianyang Palace, there were countless reports below.

"There was an outbreak of smallpox in the south of the city, and one hundred and three people were infected."

"There is a widespread illness in the eastern part of the city, and 78 people have been infected."

"Sixty-three people west of the city."

In the face of the increase in the number of infected people, it has attracted many people to impeach Meng Yi by courtiers, and some people impeached: "Your Majesty, there are hundreds of infected people in the city now, if Meng Yi continues to mess around, once the epidemic breaks out on a large scale, the empire will be in danger." ”

"Meng Yi may be a little clever, but this is smallpox, and the good doctors in the world are helpless, how can he do it as a kid who doesn't know the so-called?"

"We will risk death to play together, for the sake of the eternal spread of the empire, I implore Your Majesty to stop this farce and order the killing of all those who are sick."

……

Every day, the courtiers have never stopped impeaching Meng Yi, and Yingzheng has never agreed, since it is an agreement, it cannot be easily abandoned.

But the increase in infected people every day made Ying Zheng sweat. Just as Meng Yi is gambling, he is gambling with his life, and why is Ying Zheng gambling again? It's just that he is gambling on the country.

In the face of the courtier's invitation, he could only keep silent, the matter had come to this point, he could only believe in Meng Yi, and there was no other way.

"Meng Yi, don't let me down!!"

Ying Zheng clenched his fists tightly and said secretly.

With the flick of a finger, nine days passed in a flash, and there were more than 1,000 people infected with smallpox in the city, but there was no news from the Mongolian Mansion for a long time.

On the tenth day, the government and the opposition were already boiling and noisy, and many ministers were dissatisfied with Meng Yi, if it weren't for Meng Yi and His Majesty's bet, how could there be today's situation.

Cremating thousands of people, the slightest carelessness, can cause civil unrest, with immeasurable consequences.

Seeing that the tenth day was about to pass, the ministers rose up indignantly, and loudly threatened to kill Meng Yi, destroy the Meng family, and so on.

Such words are heard endlessly.

And the deadline is when the sun sets.

The First Emperor asked Zhao Gao: "Hasn't there been news from the Meng family?" ”

Zhao Gao shook his head.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng knew that it was impossible for Meng Yi to succeed, and he lost the bet, and the price he had to pay was to kill thousands of people.

When the sun set, Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Zhuqing listen to the order, today the flowers broke out, in order to solve the plague chaos, I decided to kill ......"

Just as the First Emperor decided to give the order to kill everyone, a hurried voice came from outside.

"There is news from the Meng family!"
