Chapter Ninety-Three: Pox

He Xi walked out of the palace gate, and the sun's gaze fell on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly. I feel that the breath of spring is just around the corner.

There was a trance.

This time I entered the palace, which was a right question before leaving Beijing.

He Xi communicated the arrangements of all parties with Zhu Yuanzhang one by one. Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to most of He Xi's conditions. However, whether He Xi's affairs in Liaodong can continue or not is not something that Zhu Yuanzhang can control.

After all, it is the emperor who is far away.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang's authority is over, how much can be left after crossing the mountains and mountains.

This is more for He Xi to run by himself.

He Xi was thinking about what to do at the moment.

"What a colt?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind. He Xi turned his head to look, but it was Lu Zhongheng. Lu Zhongheng said: "He was summoned by His Majesty to ask about the Southern Expedition, right?" ”

He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Exactly." ”

Actually, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask much. It's just a look of any Xi disposing of it, and He Xi has full power in Nanyang government affairs. You can do whatever you want.

This kind of power, in China, Zhu Yuanzhang can't give He Xi. Because officialdom has its own rules, Zhu Yuanzhang has the ability to break the rules, but he can't break them all the time. This comes at a cost. But abroad, it's whatever.

Because no one is paying attention. In particular, the court officials paid attention, and in addition, the mountains were high and the road was long.

This is also the reason why He Xi wants to go to Nanyang.

Nanyang is a good test field.

Lu Zhongheng said: "Just now His Majesty also asked me who came, and my answer was that I would not come to the naval battle in person, but would only select generals from below, and the government affairs would be handed over to Lord He, and I only needed to select a place, build a city, and settle the surrounding dissatisfaction." Just make the city impregnable. ”

"Your Majesty, you praised me."

"When we arrive, whether we can eat and drink spicy food in Nanyang depends on you, Brother He."

To be honest, in terms of generation, Lu Zhongheng is Zhu Yuanzhang's little brother. It is not impossible for He Xi to call Uncle Lu Zhongheng. It's just that Lu Zhongheng still wants He Xi to take him to make money. It's not a courtesy.

He Xi said: "I'll clean up here soon." One more thing to do. ”

Lu Zhongheng said; "What's the matter?"

He Xi said: "Seed the child with pox." ”

"Plant beans." Lu Zhongheng felt extremely strange. I don't know how to get pox on my child.

------

He Xi always has to do what he promised.

It's quick to say here, but in fact, from the news of Fang Guan to Jingshi, to all kinds of debates and decisions, and He Xi and Lu Zhongheng preparing to leave Beijing, a month has already passed. Don't be slow, it's fast enough.

Historically, there have been wars on the frontier, and the central reaction has abounded after a year or two. Not to mention overseas things.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang Bingzheng. It is also very normal to discuss this matter for half a year.

More than a month is nothing for an adult. But for a child. It's already a whole lap away.

And because of busy transactions.

He Xi did not have a full moon either. Now, this time, the invitation to everyone is to combine the full moon and practice two banquets together. He Xi spread the invitation. It's time to come.

On the wine table, push the glass and ask for it, don't mention it. When the time is almost up. He Xi ripped off the banquet. Ask the maid to take the child out for the guests to see.

All the guests who have seen it are all words of praise, what this son will become a great weapon in the future, and this son will be able to glorify the ancestors in the future. If these words can be taken seriously, He Yuansi will definitely be an indispensable figure in the history of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Unfortunately, these words are completely unbelievable. After all, this guest does not say that this child will die in the future. This kind of truth is to be beaten to death.

He Xi finished doing it, clapped his hands, and said, "Everyone, I have something to witness today. ”

Everyone stopped.

He Xi said; "Not long ago, Dr. Dai discovered that both people and cattle will suffer from pox, but people with acne will die for life, while cattle suffer from pox, but scabies, and cattle raisers, occasionally infected with cowpox, will not be infected with smallpox for life. Therefore, Dr. Dai invented cowpox to prevent smallpox, everyone knows, right? ”

The people below are talking.

Some know, some don't.

Dai Yuanli is propagandized. But people don't believe it, and even spread it with falsehood, and they don't know how much they have arranged. A lot of people don't notice. More of it is spread in the medical circle, and few people outside the circle know about it.

Today is the first day I know.

He Xi said: "I invite Dr. Dai to explain the medical theory to everyone." ”

Dai Yuanli has been preparing for a long time, and at this moment, he is even more nervous than He Xi.

During this period of time, Dai Yuanli did not put less effort into cowpox, and the safety was good enough. Without him, He Xi didn't say anything. But Dai Yuanli lives with himself, and if his son dies on this, he will definitely not give up.

In addition, the He family is not unresponsive. Princess Anqing saw Dai Yuanli and didn't say anything. Just talking about this one thing, she can't stop it. But if something happens to his son, the Dai family will not want a newborn to be born in the future.

Princess Anqing is a princess after all. She doesn't show anything on weekdays. But it's not hard to do this at all.

Even killing Dai Yuanli's entire family may not be impossible.

Dai Yuanli knew that it wouldn't be a big deal, and he was extremely nervous at the moment.

However, if he doesn't do it, he can't. The research of cowpox is the biggest achievement of his life. With this matter alone, he felt that he had been able to have a place among the top ten famous doctors in ancient and modern times, looking at Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao and others.

In this case, how could he give up.

And he's sure of it.

So, Dai Yuanli took a few deep breaths and stepped forward, and said the method of eliminating the pox of the ancestors.

The so-called method of human pox and poison elimination is to find smallpox immortal people. Ask this person to transfer smallpox to another person, as long as there are enough seven people. Smallpox is less virulent and can infect people, and those who are infected will never get smallpox in this life.

It's just that this method is extremely vicious.

The fatality rate of smallpox is so high that it is estimated that tens of thousands of people will not die enough to do this.

So, it's just a line in a medical book. I don't know if it can really work.

Then, Dai Yuanli used this recipe to explain the principle of cowpox, Gayin, cattle are larger than people. The anti-poisoning effect of cattle far exceeds that of humans. Therefore, the cow does not die from smallpox, which itself has the effect of killing poison. This is the reason why cowpox can prevent smallpox.

When Dai Yuanli said this, many people were skeptical, but no one was ready to slap his face on the spot.

He Xi said: "Today, in order for the child not to be infected with smallpox in the future, I specially invited Dr. Dai to give the child pox, please be a witness." ”

As soon as he said this, there was an uproar.

Because of the deep-seated fear of smallpox, no matter what Xi Xi said. A lot of people don't believe it. And now He Xi actually took the child who had just reached the full moon to plant pox, and took the initiative to get some cowpox. Is this the biological son?

A large part of Princess Anqing's resentment towards He Xi comes from this.

No matter how you react below, you can't change He Xi's decision.

He Xi held his son in his arms. Arms exposed. Dai Yuanli carefully used a knife to point a small wound on the child's delicate arm, and then used a cotton swab stained with cowpox to point it, and everything was done.

And He Yuansi just didn't know what to do. When there was a pain in his arm, he didn't react at the first time, first the expression on his little face froze, and he looked at Dai Yuanli blankly, as if to say, you bad old man is very bad. Then he burst into tears.

The crying was extremely loud, and Princess Anqing hurriedly hugged and comforted her when she saw this. And He Yuansi also pointed at Dai Yuanli from afar, and seemed to remember this bad old man.

Princess Anqing casually ordered: "Come on, place Doctor Dai in the guest room." ”

Dai Yuanli also knew that he would be fine, this little ancestor would be fine for two or three days, and he would be able to leave, otherwise, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

There is also no way to go.

Although He Xi is relieved of the child, he always has to wait for the child to be all right before leaving. Nanyang affairs, no matter how urgent they are, are not in a hurry for this day or two.
