Chapter 168: Smallpox Spreads

An Nan laughed disdainfully: "You are not stupid, if you can take your life, then it is the most foolproof." Ji Qiang gave her a backhand slap, and An Nan covered her face with her hands, and the hostility in her eyes seemed to devour Ji Qiang.

Ji Qiang looked at her lightly and said: "This slap is light, next time you do something stupid, it's this poisonous needle, I hope you will do it yourself." ”

In the Three Emperors' Mansion, Xia Yu called his staff Cheng Zhenshan, who also believed in Buddhism, so he asked to see Xia Yu by discussing the Buddhist scriptures.

Xia Yu saw that Cheng Zhenshan had a lot of insights into the analysis of Buddhist scriptures, so he accepted this person.

The two were talking happily, and Cheng Zhenshan felt that it was the right time, so he said that the prince was not coming.

"Today's prince has no ambitions, Buddhism values compassion the most, crossing people, and now the three princes can join forces with the six princes, and one day, they will be able to carry forward the great law of Buddhism and save the world." Cheng Zhenshan's words made Xia Yu beat a drum in his heart.

borrowed a knife to kill, and the yellow finch was behind.

Xia Yu's index finger tapped lightly on the table, slowly sorting out the thoughts between them.

Cheng Zhenshan saw it and knew what he meant. The two looked at each other and smiled, and they tacitly agreed.

The pharmacy in the capital has been full of people since a few days ago.

For a while, I don't know what the reason is, smallpox spread, and half of the ten people in the capital were randomly pulled out to suffer from smallpox, and for a time the people in the city were panicked, and the people were mourning.

If the disease is not suppressed, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

The emperor was worried, and announced early that the ministers would enter the palace to discuss.

He sat anxiously on the dragon chair, waiting for everyone to tell him what he had done.

"Father, the son proposes that all those who suffer from smallpox should be imprisoned so as not to infect others. After someone finds out the cause of smallpox, it is remediated. The prince stood up first and said righteously.

"The prince really has mercy on the people, should he leave his relatives and be imprisoned when he has smallpox? They are also the people of my kingdom! What do the people of this capital think of our royal family, how did the royal family save the people from fire and water? Xia Yu suddenly stood up at this time and overturned the prince's words word by word.

At this time, although Xia Chengmu's face was serious, he had a bad smile in his heart.

Xia Jingnian just stood quietly, he had seen a lot of swords in the court, and he knew when to speak and when to pretend to be dumb.

What's more, the three princes have never been involved in political affairs, and today they are making a fuss, is it really just compassion? Xia Jingnian quickly calculated it in his heart, and soon clarified the battle situation at this time.

Stillness is the best way to deal with it.

"The third brother believes in Buddhism and is compassionate, but aren't the other people in the capital alive and alive, and they also have family members, so they should be infected in the epidemic here? Besides, they were also imprisoned for their condition, and the emperor could also send the imperial doctor to suppress the illness together. Not to be outdone, the prince retorted.

"What the prince said is good, but how to block the mouths of the people, can't my royal loyal ministers come up with a perfect solution?" Xia Yu retorted again.

"Third brother, since my idea doesn't work, you can tell me what is the best plan." The prince glared angrily and said directly.

"Okay, your father is still sitting here, what are you fighting for, as the crown prince, you must be tolerant, what's wrong with the third brother mentioning a few words to you. I can't accept this rebuttal, how can I be able to disagree with everyone in the future and maintain the century-old foundation of my Chen country. The emperor said while trembling angrily. Jing Ai Books

The emperor was already worried, and when he saw the discord between his brothers, he was even more irritable.

"Sixth, what do you think about this smallpox rampant?" The emperor sighed, calmed down his good mood, and looked at Xia Chengmu expectantly.

"Father, my son's ministers feel that this smallpox rampant must be suppressed as soon as possible, and secondly, it must not lose the support of the people. I recommend Uncle Huang to complete the suppression of this epidemic. Uncle Huang seems to be familiar with medical skills, and he is also very decisive and reasonable, so why not give it to him with confidence. "Xia Chengmu has always been very disciplined in doing things, and this time he took the initiative to hand over the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Xia Jingnian, which was unexpected.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, but then felt that it made sense, so he asked: "Jing Nian, are you willing to tell me what you think." ”

Xia Jingnian quickly stood up and said: "The courtiers are willing, saving the dead and helping the wounded is the benevolence of the doctor, not to mention the people of my royal family, although the prince's idea has achieved quick results, it has also damaged his reputation and people's hearts." The younger brother is willing to work with the doctors of the Tai Hospital to develop home remedies, and of course he will also send the Tai Doctors to support the diagnosis and treatment in various streets, provide free medicinal materials, and calm people's hearts. ”

After Xia Jingnian finished speaking, everyone pondered.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the unsuccessful prince again, and the satisfaction in his eyes turned into anger.

"Then this smallpox will be handed over to King Qi to deal with. Do you have any other good suggestions, ministers? ”

"The emperor is wise, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is thoughtful, and we have no suggestions." Said a minister.

"Your Majesty, this smallpox suppression is extremely depleting to the national treasury, and our national treasury is afraid to be insufficient!" Another minister chimed in.

"It doesn't matter, except for the smallpox period, the people can be allowed to plant medicinal herbs, and then taxes will be collected according to the population, which can be regarded as the medical expenses paid by the people for their own medical treatment." King Qi added confidently.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of this idea, Aiqing." ”

"Your Majesty, I think this is a very good idea, first, to appease the people, and second, to increase the treasury."

"Okay, let's do it according to King Qi's idea, Zhong Aiqing has other ideas, you can come to me to discuss, there is a book, there is no book, let's retreat!"

With a long sound of retreat, all the ministers exited the main hall in an orderly manner.

Xia Jingnian immediately went directly to Tai Hospital, flipped through classical medical books, looked for home remedies, and began to develop good medicines.

Several old imperial doctors were very hard to check the configuration. When Xia Jing was free, he sent Fang Ping to other places to purchase a large number of medicinal materials and seeds for the treatment of smallpox.

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner under Xia Jingnian's arrangement.

Imperial doctors have street diagnosis and treatment, there are also those who develop good medicines, and there are those who consult medical books, each performing their own duties.

Xia Jingnian had time to go to the streets of the capital to check his condition.

He reassured everyone as he checked the inhibitions.

"Don't worry, with my Xia Jingnian here, we will definitely be able to eradicate smallpox. Everyone must cooperate with our imperial doctor for treatment, the emperor's grace is vast, and everyone should be most grateful to the benevolent emperor. Xia Jingnian said.

The people on the street all praised the emperor's kindness.

Xia Jingnian has been toiling in the hospital and the streets. The epidemic has also been alleviated, and if you want to eradicate it, it depends on the research and development results of the last hospital.
