It was noon on the river. When Yangmi was at its peak, An ordered the people to look at the villain father and son in the courtyard outside the prison, and Li Ji, Tao Judong and others came. gathered around Wang Ping'an, and all the people in the village, no matter what their status, also rushed over. Come and see the results of the first step of pox!

Xiang Tu led the soldiers and hung the villainous father and son high on a large wooden stake so that everyone could see it. Wang Ping'an stepped forward in person. Speak for this pair of villains!

After a while, Wang Ping'an said loudly: "The pulse is normal. ”

The crowd of onlookers cheered in unison and clapped their hands. Li Ji breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Shangcang Bao Skirt, it's okay."

Tao Judong and the other imperial doctors, as if they had made an appointment in advance, raised their hands to touch their beards at the same time, and nodded together, although no one spoke, but everyone was happy in their hearts.

Although they go to the wrong family, this kind of major event can no longer make them envious, jealous and hateful, this is a major matter related to the whole country, no matter how narrow-minded people are, they will not have any evil against Wang Ping'an!

The scholars and the people are the most excited, and if the dialectic is successful, they will be the first to benefit, and their wishes can be fulfilled. There is no reason not to be excited!

Wang Ping'an checked the tongue coating of the father and son again. He also took off his clothes and examined his whole body to make sure that everything was completely fine, and then he turned around. He said to the doctors, "If you come here, you will all come and check them up." ”

Tao Judong is the one who does not give in. The first one stepped forward to examine the villainous father and son, and after he came down. The doctors are one by one. Come forward, everyone can show their abilities. I tried my best to find something wrong with the father and son to ensure the outcome of the syndrome. Infallible!

After checking for almost half an hour, it was finally determined that the gangster father and son not only eliminated the pus on their hands, but also had a fever that had subsided, and their bodies were completely healthy, and according to Xiang Tu, they were slightly fatter than when they were brought in a few days ago, and it seemed that not only did they not suffer from smallpox, but on the contrary, they were living quite nourishing!

Wang Ping'an turned around, faced the onlookers, and said loudly: "The pox pulp extracted from people who have cowpox is inoculated into people who have not had smallpox, and you can preliminarily conclude that there is no worry about your life!" ”

"Good! The merits of the little miracle doctor of peace are immeasurable! The crowd shouted in unison.

Xiang Tu waved his hand, and the soldiers outside the crowd. Hula ran out of a large group and ran to the intersection. Someone took out a trumpet and whined. The soldiers couldn't wait for each other to respond. Directly shouted: "Hehe, long live my emperor, long live the Tang Dynasty, hehe!" ”

The sound was heard far away, and there was still silence in the distance!

Suddenly, at the end of the path, there was an earth-shattering cheer: "Hurrah, hooray, hooray!" "Even hehehe!

The soldiers in the distance knew that the first stage of the dialectic was successful! A soldier flew on his horse, like crazy, and ran towards Chang'an, to report the good news to the court and to the emperor!

In the village, Wang Ping'an ordered someone to bring out the evil man, and also examined his whole body. This villain is the one who planted cowpox pulp directly at the beginning, and all the adverse reactions on his body have been cured, in fact, Wang Ping'an has already checked him yesterday, and today it is just for insurance, do it again.

After the inspection, Wang Ping'an turned around again and shouted at everyone: "He's all right, and he's gained weight!" ”

Everyone laughed loudly and clapped their hands again, which shows that there is no problem for people to get smallpox from cows, and smallpox from cows is not only not fatal, but more gentle, not that cows are big. Smallpox is even more terrible, and the opposite is true!

Wang Ping'an said again: "The next step is to distinguish the evidence. Neither those who have had cowpox directly, nor those who have been inoculated with the pox of people who have cowpox, will ever get smallpox again."

This time, everyone was a little quieter, and what Wang Ping'an was talking about now was the key point of the matter. It is also the final result of this dialectic. If once it can be proven, vaccinate the person with vaccinia. If you don't get smallpox again, then this thing will be considered a success, and the smallpox disease will finally be controlled, and it will not be raging in the world!

Wang Ping'an said: "Will you get smallpox again?" You can't start the dialectic right now, at least half a month, of course, if you can wait for more than a month. Two months, that's the best, but every time period, we have to get results. It was reported to the emperor to know, so we came to vaccinate in batches. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience quieted down, since the pox is going to be planted in batches, there must be a first and one after, although now it seems that there is no danger in planting pox. But who knows if it will be dangerous when it is their turn? Almost no one wants to be one of the first to get pox!

Li Ji stood up and waved his arm. said: "You don't have to worry, the first batch of people is the group of death row prisoners, they are all damned people, even if smallpox does not die, they will be escorted back to Chang'an and beheaded to show the public."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, someone was the first batch!

Li Ji said again: "According to the old man's intentions." The second group of people should be affiliated households, but after discussing with Lord Wang last night, I felt that only subordinate households should be allowed to come out to plant pox, after all, this dialectic. The sooner it ends, the better, and then someone else will have to join the second batch, and it's all voluntary! ”

After a pause, he added: "Actually, the third batch and the second batch will not be separated by a few days."

In any case, after all, they have no choice in this matter, and they have no choice as slaves, and let them get a second batch of pox. It can't be regarded as bullying, even they themselves feel that with their identity, let alone the second batch of pox, even if they are allowed to take the lead, what can they do?

But the scholars and the people all hesitated, even if there was no danger in this correction, it was normal to think about it a little.

In the silence, someone suddenly chanted the Buddha's name. After the voice of Amitabha. Outside the crowd, a solemn monk slowly rose, and everyone turned around together and got up in unison!

This high monk who sings the Buddha's name is none other than him. It is Master Huizheng of the Temple of Inspiration! Huizheng is not much taller than others, but slowly at this time. Little by little, I grew taller. Until he was half a body taller than everyone else, so that everyone saw him!

Wang Ping'an was also quite puzzled, did he step on a stool? But even if you step on the stool, it should be directly raised, not slowly "raised"!

Hui Zheng clasped his palms together and said loudly: "Amitabha, good, good!" Dialectical smallpox is a great good thing, and those of my generation who are monks should set an example for the world. Let the poor monks join the second group of people."

Sure enough, it is a high monk, who must have received the revelation of the gods and Buddhas, so he is so brave, and he can slowly rise.

Li Ji sighed, looked at Hui Zheng in the distance, and said: "I have heard that there are people in the rivers and lakes, there are strong martial arts people, you can jump to a few feet, when the old man was young, I have seen a few, but this slowly rising, hanging in the air, but I have never seen it, it seems that this monk is really my Tang Dynasty master!" ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "If there is a circle of light in the back of the head, it will be even more perfect!" ”

The people thought to themselves: "The high monks of the Inspiration Temple are high! ”

The scholars thought to themselves, "The person who has been protected by the gods and Buddhas is really different!" ”

The soldiers standing on the periphery thought to themselves, "Looking for it." Why don't you look for us. What strength we have! ”

Hui Zheng thought to himself: "My hands are trembling, my body is shaking!" ”

The little monk had a hard time thinking: "Uncle Shizu." You're so heavy, I can't move you anymore! ”

In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, "Okay." Master Huizheng said it well! The second batch of pox. Count me in! "The person who spoke was none other than Qiu Renjie.

After Qiu Renjie finished speaking, he said again: "As a Tang Dynasty scholar, I want to serve the country." This is a good opportunity, don't miss it, count me in! "The person who spoke was Qiu Tingxuan.

The two of them took the lead, and many enthusiastic scholars also shouted: "Count me in, count me in!" ”

Almost half of the scholars got up, and the remaining half of the scholars, seeing that others were screaming, felt very embarrassed, everyone has the same identity, and it is not the second batch, or the third batch, since they are here, do they still want to run away? But being robbed of the limelight by others, it was really boring. They all cried out, whether they wanted it or not. Anyway, let it go!

Li Ji clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, you are all ambitious Tang Dynasty good men, you are all the pillars of the country, the old man is reluctant to let you get pox first, but since you are so enthusiastic, the old man is not going against your will." In this way, the scholars will participate in the second batch, the ordinary people of good families, and the last batch! ”

"Thank you Lord Li for your success, and thank you Lord Wang for giving me the opportunity!" The scholars shouted together, and rushed forward, trying to crowd around the courtyard.

Now that we've decided how to plant pox in batches, there's nothing to delay. Wang Ping'an and Li Ji ordered the death row inmates to be taken out of prison one by one, and half of them were planted with sick cattle

Slurry.

Wang Ping'an personally showed a crime, "and then let the doctors of the Tai Yi Department follow it, the process is very simple." It's not that difficult, the doctors will see it. And many very constructive suggestions were made. For example, in order to increase the degree of correctness of dialectic. Why don't you plant more pulp on the death row inmates, such as on the head, face, belly, buttocks, legs, and feet!

This day, although noisy and noisy, did not have a moment of quiet, but it passed quite fully. The death row prisoners were planted with pox pulp from sick cows, and after they were done. Everyone was still in high spirits, so they ran to the cowshed again, and planted half of the newly brought calves with pox pulp, and the calves were covered with small mouths!

The calves cried and hid as soon as the old man with the white beard came......

After a few days of calm, the condemned prisoners who had been planted with sick cow pulp began to get sick, but the symptoms were still mild, similar to the evil man in front of them, and it was only a pox where they were planted, and they had a little water addiction. Some have a slight fever, but other than that, there are no major adverse reactions!

The crowd gathered again, and Wang Ping'an gave another demonstration to extract pox pulp from the bodies of these death row prisoners. inoculated the remaining half of the death row prisoners, and the imperial doctors also showed their skills again, and cut the bodies of these death row prisoners all over the place!

After vaccination, there were several days of waiting.

The symptoms of those death row prisoners who had previously been infected with cowpox pulp disappeared, the fever subsided, and the water addiction disappeared. And soon, those death row inmates who were vaccinated with cowpox. They all showed symptoms, but they disappeared quickly!

Wang Ping'an officially announced that the first stage of the dialectic was a complete success, and the next step of the dialectic can be carried out!

This time, because it was an official result, after the news spread outside the mountain, the general who was guarding outside personally wrote a recital and sent a team of soldiers to rush back to Chang'an!

This group of soldiers were all loud people, they rode all the way back, shouted all the way, and all the villages and towns along the way also knew the news, and the people all cheered, beat gongs and drums, and celebrated!

For the first time, it was put on Li Shimin's dragon book case. Li Shimin has been a little troubled recently, just after the pre-imperial meeting, the ministers went out of the palace, but as soon as the chapter was sent, the ministers hurriedly returned and congratulated the emperor!

After Li Shimin finished reading the recital, a smile appeared on his face. patted the case and said: "Okay, since the first step of the dialectic has been successful, it seems that things are going very smoothly, and it won't be long before Wang Ping'an will send good news again!" He gave the mecca to the ministers for circulation.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the recital and said with a smile: "Although there has always been bad news outside the customs recently, Chang'an is the opposite, and Wang Ping'an sent such a big good news." Your Majesty, you can be happy this time, right? ”

Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's quite smooth." He thought for a while, and then said: "The matter of the detention of my Tang envoy still needs to be investigated."

This incident confused the union, when did the union send a messenger to the moat? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "In the memory of the old minister, there is no such thing, my Tang Dynasty and Tianqian have never had diplomatic relations, and the king there has never been a minister to my Tang Dynasty, and there is no tribute to send." My Datang Dynasty did not give the title and reward the king of the trench, even in the place of the trench, there are several countries, we don't know, how can we send an envoy? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Wouldn't it be the envoy sent by the heavens to pay tribute to my Tang Dynasty, who was detained in the desert, and the person who reported the message didn't make it clear?" The detention of my envoy to the Tang Dynasty is a very serious matter. That's going to send troops to fight! ”

Chu Suiliang said: "The person who reported the message died before he could say it clearly, he didn't even enter the Yumen Pass, or the guard general appeared before he died, so he wrote the chapter and reported to Chang'an, what is going on, the guard general can't say clearly!" ”

Li Shimin hummed and said: "This matter is strange, but there is no need to worry about it, it is estimated that someone pretended to be the messenger of my Datang, but it didn't pretend to be good." Someone saw through it. ”

The ministers nodded together and said, "I guess that's the case, just send someone to investigate, and you don't have to take it too seriously!" ”

The princes put the matter aside and began to talk about how to prevent smallpox.
