Palace.

Inside the Daqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that the matter cannot be blamed entirely on the prefect of Shaanzhou and others. ”

At this time, Cao Zhengchun suddenly said: "The old slave has found out that someone is secretly fueling the flames and deliberately spreading smallpox. ”

"Smallpox on purpose?"

Zhao Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Who has such guts?"

Zhao Lin's eyes gradually became cold.

This is a felony of the Nine Clans.

Ordinary people, who would do such a crazy thing?

Behind this scene, there must be a big black hand.

"It's the Western Holy See!"

In Cao Zhengchun's eyes, the light suddenly lit up, "The old slave found that the first batch of smallpox patients in Shaanzhou came from the Western Continent. ”

Later, this group of smallpox patients spread to the whole country at an alarming speed, and it was also done by the people of the Holy See. ”

"The Holy See again?"

Zhao Lin frowned.

Inside his eyes, there was a chilling killing intent surging.

Unexpectedly, after the failure of the Great Song Empire's mission, this Holy See would use such despicable means to deal with the Great Song Empire?

"People in the Holy See, this is playing with fire. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes were calm.

He had thought that the pope, although sanctimonious, was at least a human being because of his different beliefs.

But now it seems that the other party actually did such a crazy thing!

This is no longer something that normal people can do!

The Pope must have wanted to take advantage of the smallpox plague to stir up an unprecedented upheaval within the Great Song Empire.

After all, the crazy spread of smallpox plague will definitely cause a large number of deaths among the people of the Great Song Empire, and the originally prosperous and powerful country will become a purgatory, and the people will not be able to survive.

Even, this smallpox blight may spread to the army and affect the combat effectiveness of the army of the Great Song Empire.

In this way, the Holy See and the HRE Empire could take advantage of the fire to loot and launch a war to easily annex the Great Song Empire.

It's a good calculation!

The Western Holy See is challenging him, the emperor of the Great Song Empire!

Zhao Lin sneered in his heart.

The Western Holy See, this is offending people who you can't afford to mess with......

"Your Majesty,"

Zhuge Liang arched his hand towards Zhao Lin and said: "The top priority is to find a way to treat the smallpox epidemic as soon as possible, control the smallpox epidemic, and save the people from fire and water." ”

Now in the territory of the Great Song Empire, smallpox is raging.

This disease is extremely contagious and incurable.

The entire Great Song Empire, from the imperial doctors, to ordinary doctors and doctors, were all helpless, and could only watch the patients die and the epidemic spread.

Although under his orders, the imperial court has sent troops to control most of the patients, but the number of infected people is increasing, and it is feared that hundreds of thousands of people in the country have been infected with the disease.

And that's growing.

Although Zhuge Liang has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, his ability to govern the country is unique in the world.

However, in the face of such natural and man-made disasters, he also has a sense of powerlessness.

I can only turn to Your Majesty for help.

Zhao Lin nodded.

The Holy See will perish.

And these people infected with smallpox naturally have to be saved.

The two are not in conflict.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Lin's eyes immediately looked at the eunuch who was not far away, and ordered: "Go, call Song Zhong to me!"

When the eunuch received the order, he immediately withdrew and went to proclaim the order.

After a while, under the leadership of the eunuch, Song Zhong and another official of the Academy of Sciences walked into the main hall.

"Minister Song Zhong see Your Majesty!"

After Song Zhong entered the hall, he immediately knelt down to Zhao Lin to pay homage and pay tribute to the monarch and ministers.

The officials of the Academy of Sciences who followed behind Song Zhong also knelt on the ground with a "plop" when they saw this, and bowed to Zhao Lin: "Minister, Li Bao of the Academy of Sciences, see Your Majesty!"

"Flat. ”

Zhao Lin waved his hand.

Song Zhong hurriedly got up, and then immediately introduced to Zhao Lin: "Your Majesty." ”

"This Li Bao is the official in charge of developing smallpox medicine. ”

"Following His Majesty's instructions, he has successfully completed the test on cattle and planted cowpox that can cure smallpox!"

Song Zhong's voice also contained a hint of surprise.

And Zhuge Liang and Cao Zhengchun were already dumbfounded.

They were still suffering from the smallpox disease, and they were helpless.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this smallpox disease has been overcome?

How is this possible?!

"Oh?"

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up slightly, "When did it happen?"

When Li Bao heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and then he arched his hand towards Zhao Lin: "Your Majesty, the minister also succeeded last night." ”

"It's just that the minister's two assistants were unfortunately infected with smallpox in the process of planting cowpox, and I hope Your Majesty can give them some compassion. ”

Zhao Lin nodded, and immediately looked at Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister, these two assistants have made great contributions to the country, and they should be rewarded." ”

"I'll leave this matter to the minister. ”

Zhuge Liang reacted at this time, and immediately bowed down and said.

However, there was still a trace of suspicion on his face, and he looked at Zhao Lin on the throne of the dragon chair, "But Your Majesty, what kind of miracle medicine is this so-called 'cowpox', which can really cure the terminal disease of smallpox?"

Smallpox is an incurable disease.

I have never heard of any medicine that can cure it.

And now, this "cowpox" that suddenly came out of the Academy of Sciences is said to be able to cure smallpox.

If it were any one of them, I would probably be suspicious.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, this method of cowpox is a method invented by His Majesty. ”

Zhao Lin on the throne of the dragon chair had not yet spoken, but Song Zhong spoke first, "What Your Majesty said, when did something go wrong?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang and Cao Zhengchun both moved in their hearts.

Oh, yes!

Your Majesty's words, when did you miss it?

Since they were summoned, what has His Majesty done and which decision has been missed?

The answer is no!

Your Majesty has never missed a shot!

This method of planting cowpox is naturally no exception.

"Song Zhong, Li Bao. ”

Zhao Lin's gaze fell on the two of them one after another, "You guys are ready, draw a booklet of the method of planting pox, and hand it over to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng." ”

"Yes. ”

Song Zhong and the others did not dare to slack off, and immediately took the order and left.

"Prime Minister, you will distribute the brochure of the Academy of Sciences to the local officials, and ask them to organize people to start large-scale cultivation of cowpox, and be sure to completely eradicate smallpox in the Great Song Empire within seven days!"

Zhao Lin ordered at Zhuge Liang.

"Minister... Yes!"

Zhuge Liang's expression was dazed, and he immediately surrendered his hand and left.

For a while, in this Daqing Palace, only Zhao Lin and Cao Zhengchun were left.

"Cao Zhengchun, you take Dongchang to continue to investigate!"

Zhao Lin didn't plan to let Cao Zhengchun be idle, "Go find out the whereabouts of those people in the Holy See!"

"If they dare to spread smallpox in the territory of the Great Song Empire, they should be prepared to die!"

"Get them all out, and don't let any of them go!"

The spread of epidemic disease in the Great Song Empire caused hundreds of thousands of people to be infected with smallpox.

"The old slave will do it!"

From Zhao Lin's tone, Cao Zhengchun felt the anger of this young man.

These guys from the Holy See.

This time, it really angered His Majesty.

The dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die!

Even if it is the Western Holy See, the HRE Empire, it will not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed!
