Chapter 988: Is the Emperor Crazy?
What was done?
Shao Qingyuan still feels a little unbelievable when he thinks about it now.
Lowering his voice slightly, he said, "After the cowpox inoculation method was confirmed to prevent smallpox, the emperor ordered it to be popularized, but unfortunately...... No one wants to try. ”
Even if the imperial doctor said that there was no problem, even if it was the emperor's holy decree, even if the imperial doctor said that this was an absolutely foolproof method that had been tested on death row prisoners, no one would want to try it, after all, this was fatal.
What if? If they fail, they won't even die.
Besides, this method was proposed by a country boy.
I heard that this person is not even a doctor, and the method he said is a wild way, can it be used? Do you dare to use it?
Not to mention those dignitaries, even the common people are unwilling.
Shao Qingyuan scoffed at this, he didn't like to try, and he didn't propose this kind of prevention method for the sake of the common people in the world. If it weren't for Yun Dong wanting him to make meritorious contributions, he urgently told Qin Wenzheng the method, Shao Qingyuan wouldn't even mention it.
He will only silently confirm himself and vaccinate the people close to him, what does the rest have to do with him?
Even if these people died of smallpox, he would not care.
Just when Shao Qingyuan was impatiently planning to say goodbye to Song Dejiang and go back, the emperor in the palace suddenly made a very bold decision that shocked him.
The emperor let his eleven-year-old son try the cowpox inoculation method.
Gu Yundong's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard this, "Let the prince go into battle in person?" ”
"Yes."
After the news of this happened, the entire capital was in an uproar.
This prince is still from the queen, the concubine of the middle palace, and his identity is so noble. What's more, the current saint has only three children under his knees, one of whom is still a princess.
Is the emperor crazy?
Everyone felt that the emperor was dissatisfied with the middle palace and the prince.
Later, Shao Qingyuan learned that this matter was requested by the prince himself.
He didn't know the twists and turns of the intrigues in the palace, but he could still guess how much this one might not just want to tell the world about the effect of the cowpox inoculation method, but also some other purposes.
When Gu Yundong heard this, he also thought about it.
The emperor will agree, perhaps also to let the world see the courage of this prince and his contribution to the common people in the world.
He may be paving the way for him and building a reputation for him.
But no matter what, Gu Yundong had to admire the courage of the father and son.
But then there was a trace of anger in her heart, what if this method didn't succeed? The first person to be pushed out for conviction was her family Shao Qingyuan. What if someone wants to harm that prince and succeed with the cowpox inoculation method? Don't you want Shao Qingyuan to take the blame?
Sure enough, the political struggle was too dirty.
If you're not careful, you can become cannon fodder.
"And then?"
Shao Qingyuan heard that there seemed to be a trace of dissatisfaction in her tone, turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "Later, it was naturally successful, the emperor rewarded me, and I came back." ”
Gu Yundong nodded, "It's good to come back, let's stay away from these things in the future." Next time you let Qin Wenzheng go by himself, at most, you can write down the method and let him figure it out for himself. ”
Shao Qingyuan, "......"
He was silent, but still said, "Actually, when I came back this time, I also had something to do with the emperor's will." ”
Gu Yundong's hand froze,, this is not over yet??
