That's right, the method of cowpox needs to be tested on living people.

Unless it's a donkey kicking in the head, under normal circumstances, no fool should want to take the risk.

But this experiment is of great significance and vital importance to Datang and all the people in the world.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Xie Yi has never spoken nonsense.

He won't, Li Shimin and the courtiers think so, so there is no need to have the slightest concern.

But where do people choose?

After thinking about it, someone thought of a candidate - death row prisoner!

Anyway, it is a person who is sure to die, there is no risk, and it is not considered to be harmful, and the specimen problem can be completely solved.

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

Datang's judiciary also has its harshness, every time a murder case occurs, if it is sentenced to beheading, hanging, etc., it must be reported to the criminal department for review.

In the end, whether to kill or not to kill is to be approved by the emperor Zhu Pen, and only the prisoners who are executed by the emperor's imperial pen will be truly executed.

In this matter, Li Shimin is very cautious, and he will review the file in detail and make a prudent decision.

He even asked the Criminal Department and Dali Temple many times for their opinions, weighing whether the trial was clear, whether there were grievances, and whether the prisoner's behavior must be damned?

His Majesty Li Er's prudence fell into the name of leniency, and only twenty-nine prisoners were executed in the entire Tang Dynasty last year.

But on the other hand, these 29 people are basically guilty of heinous crimes and really deserve to die.

Let these people go to Sun Simiao's experiment with the method of cowpox, why not? It can be regarded as giving full play to their last residual heat value and contributing to the people of the world, and it can be regarded as atonement for their sins.

In order to motivate death row prisoners to actively participate calmly, the imperial court also made a rule by the way, as long as they did not die after experiments, they would not be beheaded again. The sentence may even be commuted according to the seriousness of the responsibility for the crime. Or even a direct acquittal.

Such favorable conditions should attract those death row inmates to actively participate in the experiment. It is also in line with Xie Yi's so-called humanitarian principles, and at the same time, it will not affect the results of the experiment because of psychological fear.

In order to eradicate smallpox and for the sake of the health of the people of the world, this move is completely worthwhile, and public opinion will not only not blame, but may even praise more.

If you don't lose money, you may make a good thing, so why not?

After this matter was settled, a question mark appeared in the hearts of many people, including Emperor Li Shimin.

Since ancient times. The smallpox epidemic is no longer a day or two, and there has been no way to prevent it; For many years, how many doctors and aspirants have devoted themselves to research, but to no avail.

Even Sun Shenxian, who was skilled in medicine, was helpless, and as a result, Xie Yi in prison had an idea in a few words.

That doesn't seem to make sense.

Although Xie Yi has some attainments in medical skills, smallpox is a vicious disease...... Where did he learn about cowpox? Do you dare to be so sure out of thin air?

No!

Li Shimin also had similar suspicions, and he also subconsciously thought of an answer - the old immortal who rode the green ox.

Could it really be that white-bearded and white-haired old fairy? In Li Shimin's eyes, many unbelievable things about Xie Yi can only be explained by the theory of immortals.

If so......

Could it be that this son is really Emperor Xuanyuan, or that God sent him to assist him. Assisting Datang, a talent who can help the world and the people?

This is the second time Li Shimin has had such a thought, and it is even stronger than the first time he was in Shaanzhou.

A person is "given" such a heavy responsibility, and what he does is basically beneficial to Datang everywhere. Just because he has a little connection with Duvoway, he will commit assassination and rebellion?

Li Shimin categorically vetoed it!

In an instant, Xie Yi in prison was in the emperor's heart, and those so-called crimes were no longer so important.

"Your Majesty. Since this experiment is so important, it is better to let Xie Yi out of Dali Temple and participate in the experiment in person. After all, the method was proposed by him. Personally involved, the grasp should be greater. ”

Xiao Yu wasted no time in making a request, a rather reasonable request, as a high-ranking minister from the south, with the most noble status and the oldest qualifications, he finally spoke.

"Xie Yi is involved in the assassination case, which is a shocking case, and it has not been investigated clearly, how can he be released from prison?" The person who spoke was still surnamed Wei, and there was no need to say anything about his position.

Xiao Yu said: "The prevention and control of smallpox is more important, everything needs to be flexible, why stick to the rules? ”

"To put it lightly, this method is what Xie Yi said, will it definitely work? Who knows if he didn't come up with another idea to escape from prison? ”

For a while, there was another dispute in the court, and it was a stalemate.

Xiao Yu opened his mouth, which was equivalent to the southern scholar clan opening his mouth, but how could the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong scholar clan stand by and watch the southern part of the country take the opportunity to recover and even sit big?

So even if they sympathized with Xie Yi's plight, and even were willing to help him in private, they had to symbolically obstruct it.

The result was evenly matched at first, but slowly Xiao Yu's side began to fall behind, not everyone is Zhuge Liang, so others can't learn the bridge of "tongue battle group Confucianism".

At this critical moment, heavyweight weights stepped forward.

"Father, the son thinks that Xie Yi should be temporarily pardoned and released from prison, and he will preside over the cowpox experiment with Sun Shenxian."

Hearing the sound of speaking, everyone turned around and saw the heroic and majestic Wu King Li Ke, and their expressions changed a little, which was very exciting.

Especially the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was already able to walk every day, and the chubby Wei king Li Tai, for a while, there was shock and unconcealed displeasure in their eyes.

"Oh, Li Ke, tell me your reasons." After being slightly surprised for a moment, Li Shimin looked as usual and asked with a smile.

"Father, according to the investigation of Dali Temple for many days, there is no evidence to prove that Xie Yi is guilty, and it is not appropriate to detain him for a long time. What's more, his medical skills are brilliant, and he is related to the overall situation of smallpox prevention and control, and he should also take special measures. ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu, Xie Yi's words may not be convinced, assassinating him is suspected after all, if you take this opportunity to do something wrong, won't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Li Ke said: "After all, Xie Yi has contributed to the country many times, and the Tang Dynasty can't be treated harshly, let alone wronged the heroes, please ask your father to learn from it." ”

"Well, what Li Ke said is not unreasonable." Li Shimin nodded lightly.

"Father, the son has one more thing to do!" Li Ke lost no time in adding, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Li Shimin happily agreed: "What's the matter? You said! ”

"Erchen was honored to be canonized as the king of Wu by his father, so he paid a lot of attention to the land of Wu and Chu in the southeast; And Erchen is also stationed in Anzhou, and Jingxiang is also in the south. Therefore, Erchen has some understanding of the minds of the people in the south. ”

Li Ke said leisurely: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were many leaders who seized the south, and Xiao Milling of the Western Liang didn't know the severity, so he didn't mention it. However, Du Fuwei of the southeast Jianghuai is quite famous, and the people still miss it a lot.

It is believed that there were many suspicious points in the so-called rebellion in the past, and now there are constant suspicions, and now Kan Ling has appeared, and he has also heard the news of his daughter, and rumors are bound to rise again. In order to calm the hearts of the Jianghuai people and set the record straight, Erchen requested a retrial of Du Fuwei's case. ”

When the words landed, there was an uproar in the court...... (To be continued......)
