Chapter 146: Ma Zhou's Difficulties

The carriage walked on the streets of Chang'an City, and Zheng Liwan leaned against the window and muttered.

Abi on the side was puzzled: "Lady, obviously Master Xie has already left Dali Temple, and he will definitely come back if you wait for him, why are you in a hurry to leave?" ”

"Is there a difference between going and staying?"

Abi pouted and said, "Lady, you are not right-hearted, you obviously want to see Master Xie's ......"

Zheng Liwan frowned slightly, and a trace of blush quickly flashed on her face.

"Is the lady because of Mrs. Du?"

Zheng Liwan said: "It's not appropriate for their family to reunite. ”

"Lady...... You have done so much for Master Xie, and even damaged your reputation, so you left...... At the very least, you should stay and wait for Master Xie to say thank you, or ......" Ah Bi seems to feel very unworthy of his master, and has a more long-term bold idea.

Zheng Liwan shook his head lightly, if he really had a heart, it should be better to leave than to stay, isn't it?

It's just that......

I don't know if I thought of something shy, or because someone was talking about it, Zheng Liwan only felt that the roots of her ears were hot......

……

Everything suddenly seemed to calm down, and the Li Tang royal family was celebrating the birth of the eldest grandson of the East Palace.

Ma Zhou was in charge of investigating the Du Fuwei case in an orderly manner; And Xie Yi and Sun Simiao's cowpox experiments are also progressing very well.

The ten death row inmates who participated in the experiment were constantly comforted and cared for, and all of them survived the high fever of the cowpox attack, and only two of them scratched the acne because they didn't control their hands, leaving pockmarked scars on their faces, but they were harmless.

The results of such experiments are really gratifying, even Xie Yi is surprised, even in later generations, I am afraid that they may not be able to have such perfect results.

Of course, this is based on the thoughtful care and treatment of himself and Sun Simiao, as well as perfect sanitary conditions.

It is really popularized on a large scale, given the specific operating environment and the operator's technology and other factors. There will definitely be sacrifices. Especially in the initial promotion stage, there is no experience to follow, and such problems are most likely to occur and are difficult to avoid.

The next step is to test whether these people get the antibodies they want.

Let them touch the clothes used by smallpox patients, dining utensils, and even carry and bury the corpses of smallpox patients in closed rooms.

Ten days later, these people are fine!

Sun Simiao breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Master Xie is really wonderful, this method is feasible. In the future, there will be no smallpox in the world, and the salvation of living beings is unknown, and the merit is immeasurable! ”

"Where, the Buddha said that saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and this fact of doing good deeds should be." When the words landed, Xie Yi sneered: "I forgot that Sun Shenxian believes in Sanqing, and it is a little inappropriate to mention the famous sayings of Buddhism. ”

"Hehe, as long as it is reasonable, whether it is the Buddha scriptures. Or what the Taoist ancestor said, we should all follow the advocacy, what is the difference between each other? Sun Simiao said with a smile: "Both Buddhism and Taoism pay attention to compassion and help the world and save people. There is always nothing wrong with being kind and doing good. ”

Xie Yi said: "This is indeed the truth, the life of the people is not easy, and it is naturally best to suffer less from some diseases; The results of the experiment are like this, and it is considered to be curative. Let's start implementing it in Tongzhou first, seeing that summer is coming, once the weather is hot. The spread of the epidemic will intensify and must be contained as soon as possible. ”

"Good!" Sun Simiao agreed, and then reported the results of the experiment to the imperial court through Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.

Li Shimin was naturally very happy, and immediately ordered Sun Simiao and Xie Yi to teach the method of cowpox to the medical officer dispatched by the Imperial Medical Department and the Ministry of Households, and asked them to go to the same state and neighboring states and counties to take the lead in implementing it.

The courtiers of the three provinces and six ministries also breathed a sigh of relief, the raging smallpox can finally be effectively controlled, and the damage of smallpox can be permanently extinguished, which is of great significance.

However, there are always a few happy and a few sad, some people are happy, and naturally some people are unhappy. For example, Li Xiaogong, Li Chengqian and others, they vaguely hoped that if the cowpox experiment failed, Xie Yi's situation that had just improved might deteriorate rapidly, and they could even find an opportunity to deal a heavy blow again.

In their hearts, they all have an idea, that is, the reason why Li Shimin changed his attitude is largely related to smallpox.

It's a pity that it backfired, cowpox succeeded, Xie Yi is equivalent to making an immortal feat, even if there are some small mistakes, you can also make up for the merits.

More importantly, Xie Yi showed his unique value and significance in front of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and even the common people. However, in a year or two, he has solved the problems of food and plague for Datang.

Maybe in the long years to come, many wonderful ideas will pop up in his abnormal brain, and many troubles will be solved.

Even if it was just for such an expectation, the emperor would never be willing to kill him, as long as he did not intend to use these means to rebel and subvert the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, among the people, Xie Yi's reputation is getting higher and higher, and there is still a lot of praise for his good deeds; This time, he made up cowpox to prevent smallpox, a terrible plague god.

It is said that in the local area of Tongzhou, some people wept bitterly after hearing the news, and kowtowed in the direction of Chang'an to thank Master Xie and Sun Shenxian. In Chang'an City, the people who are no longer panicked also have a lot of praise and gratitude to Master Xie.

It is difficult to disobey the will of the people, and this is quite reasonable.

Under such circumstances, if the imperial court still insists on killing Xie Yi, I am afraid that the common people will not agree. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, this is Li Shimin's famous saying.

More importantly, Ma Zhou's investigation and trial have also come to an end.

According to the archival documents recorded by the Hongwenguan and the secretary and supervisor, and asked for the witnesses of the year, Ma Zhou concluded that Fu Gongyi rebelled against the Tang Dynasty that year, and Du Fuwei, who was in Chang'an, did not know about it, let alone participated.

As for the so-called mastermind behind Du Fuwei, Ma Zhou was sure that Fu Gongyi used three indiscriminate means to incite many generals of the Jianghuai Army and deceive the people, and forged the so-called "secret order" of Du Fuwei.

In fact, Du Fuwei was far away in Chang'an and did not know about it at all.

Later, it was Fugong Yi who saw that the general trend had gone and falsely accused Li Xiaogong that the so-called evidence "secret order" was a forgery, that is, the letter that deceived Du Fuwei's righteous son Wang Xiong's birthday, and also falsely accused Kan Ling, who returned from Chang'an.

However, Ma Zhou investigated in detail and learned that Kan Ling actively participated in the suppression of the rebellion at that time, and it was precisely because of his prestige that he deterred the Jianghuai army and caused its army to be disheartened.

How can such an act be a rebellion?

In addition to the testimony of ordinary generals in the past, there was also the testimony of Li Xiaogong's deputy at that time, Shi Li Ji, now the British Duke and the Governor of the Prefecture, and the authenticity and effectiveness are self-evident.

And the reason why Du Fuwei was found guilty was that in addition to the forged secret order of Fu Gongyi, it was Kan Leng's so-called rebellion.

Now that neither is valid, can Du Fuwei's rebellion still be established?

It's just that the matter has come to this point, who will be responsible for what happened back then? Although it is said that someone made a false accusation, the person in charge may also be guilty of negligence and even deliberately bend the law.

It was Emperor Gaozu Wude who finally decided the case, but who dares to say that this is Li Yuan's fault?

So, it seems that this fault and guilt can only be borne by the organizer of the report, the king of Zhao County back then, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County today?

It's just that how to determine the crime, Ma Zhou can't help but be a little difficult!
