Chapter 57: Your Highness is calculating

In the study of the Han Palace, Xiao Jin and Lai Qian were chattering to Zhao Yao about what they had heard.

Little Kim: They have been away from the Swamp House for a long time. These days, they have heard a lot of things in the capital.

Zhao Yao listened to Xiao Jin's expression, his expression was dark.

Xiao Jin felt that Zhao Yao was unhappy, tilted his little head, and asked with concern: [Yao Yao, what's wrong with you, why are you unhappy? 】

Zhao Yao reached out and touched Xiao Jin's little heads, and said to them softly: "I'm fine, I just didn't expect the situation in the capital to be so complicated." The current situation in the capital was expected by him, but he didn't expect that he would be calculated.

Lai Qian rubbed Zhao Yao's face, [Yaoyao, you are not in the capital, don't be afraid! 】

Kim: [I will protect you!] 】

Zhao Yao smiled: "With you to protect me, I will definitely be fine." ”

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Xiao Jin and Lai Qian were very angry.

[That is, we will definitely protect you from being bullied. 】

Zhao Yao gently patted them on the back and let them go out to play.

Xiao Jin and Lai Qian waved their wings and flew out to play with their friends.

Zhao Yao walked to the window, looked at the moon in the night sky in the distance, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face, calculate him, then he will calculate.

Knock Knock Knock ...... Tongxi's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, Tong'an and Dingshan are back." ”

Zhao Yao came back to his senses, took away the coldness in his eyes, and showed his usual smile on his face.

"Let them in."

Tongxi walked in with Tong'an.

"See Your Highness."

Zhao Yao stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Tong'an and Dingshan.

"Get up."

"Your Highness."

After standing up, Tong An's eyes were red, and Dingshan looked at Zhao Yao with a stupid smile.

Today's Dingshan looks like a mountain, and his face is full of meat, but his expression is honest, so that the ferocious aura on his body disappears immediately. If he doesn't smile and keep a straight face, he looks very vicious and scary.

"Looks like you're going well." Tong'an and Dingshan have been traveling around Lingnan since they opened a few years ago. Every year, Tong'an would draw a map and hand it to Zhao Yao. Now Tong'an has drawn seven or eight maps of the Lingnan Prefecture to Zhao Yao.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness's blessing, the two ministers can be safe and worry-free all the way." After Tong An finished speaking, he asked Dingshan to hand Zhao Yao a long and thin wooden box behind him.

Zhao Yao took the wooden box and did not open it in a hurry, but asked them about the matter along the way.

Tongxi brought tea and snacks. Dim sum is prepared for a given mountain.

Tong An first told Zhao Yao about what happened along the way, and then he handed over to Zhao Yao the "notepad" that he had seen and heard along the way.

The "notepad" was given to Tong'an by Zhao Yao, so that he could write down the interesting things he saw and heard when he traveled. Of course, you can also write down the injustices you encounter along the way.

Seeing that it was not too early, Zhao Yao asked Tong'an and them to go back to rest first, and the rest of the things will be talked about tomorrow.

After they left, Zhao Yao took out the map in the wooden box. This is a map of Qinzhou.

Of the 12 states in Lingnan, there are still four state capitals left without a map.

After Tongxi sent Tong'an away, he returned to Zhao Yao's side and looked at the map together.

"Your Highness, Tong'an is really amazing, this map is too well drawn and too detailed."

The map depicts mountains, waters, and castles in detail.

"Your Highness, you are still powerful, and you found out that Tong'an has this ability early."

"Your Highness, I have eyes like a torch." Zhao Yao glanced at the map of Qinzhou and had a certain understanding of the topography of Qinzhou.

Tong Xi saw Zhao Yao's fingers tapping on the map of Qinzhou, and his face became strange: "Your Highness, you won't kill the officials of Qinzhou next, right?" ”

"What is killing, Your Highness, I am not a murderer." Zhao Yao carefully put away the map of Qinzhou, and glared at Tongxi angrily, "I'm calling them according to the law." ”

"Your Highness, you are dealing with them according to the law, but not a single official is gone." Tongxi reminded Zhao Yao, "Don't forget, the minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee scolded you for killing people like hemp, so you better restrain yourself." ”

"I killed all the heinous officials." Zhao Yao didn't take it to heart at all about being participated in by the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, "Why don't these boring ministers in the DPRK and the central government help the people of Lingnan uphold justice?" Why aren't they Lingnan officials murderous? Why do they only allow officials to kill innocent people, and they don't allow me to deal with them according to the law? ”

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense, but you killed too many people at once, so you can't cut off the heads of those officials little by little?"

"Is it a waste of food to keep them?" Zhao Yao snorted coldly, "Instead of giving food to those corrupt officials, it is better to give it to the people." ”

Tongxi was speechless by Zhao Yao's words, and could only say: "Yes, yes, what you said is right." ”

"Besides, I'm also an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and now the effect has reached half of it." Zhao Yao did not plan to cut down all the officials of the twelve state capitals in Lingnan. If it is all cut, there is no official management. "I'm waiting for officials from other state capitals to come and confess to me. If they come to me and turn myself in, I won't kill them all. ”

"They have committed so many crimes, and they have to be beheaded for every crime, do they really dare to come to you and turn yourself in?"

"If you don't turn me in, there is only one way out, but if you come to me to turn myself in, maybe there is still a chance of life." Zhao Yao raised his feet and put them on the desk, holding his hands behind his head, with a worried expression, "Those who are smart will come to me, and those who are not smart will die stupidly." ”

"Slave and maid watch the hanging."

"There are still too few talents." Zhao Yao sighed faintly, "I asked my father to send some officials to Lingnan, and my father said that no one wanted to come to me, and also said that I should find a way to make the officials come to me willingly." ”

"Then no one wants to come."

"When I return to the capital, I will find a way to fool some people into coming to Lingnan." Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of calculation crossed his eyes, "When the time comes, you can fool those candidates to come to Lingnan to be officials, and fool some talents and people." ”

"Your Highness, you may be able to succeed in fooling the talented man, but I am afraid that you will not be able to fool the master." The lord can be an official in the interior, and they will not go to a poor and remote place to become an official.

"When they come, I will give them official positions." Zhao Yao felt that his idea was good, "If they continue to stay in the inland to participate in the imperial examination, they don't know when they will be able to pass the Jinshi examination, and they don't know that they can become an official in the Year of the Monkey, but it is different when they come to me, they can become an official immediately." If they do well, I will reward them, and then they will have the opportunity to return to the mainland in the future. "The more I talk about it, the more feasible it becomes.

"I'll write to the fourth brother and starling now, and they will help me fool some people over first."

"Your Highness, isn't the inland taking the imperial examination at this time?"

"The children's test has ended, and many people must have failed the list and have no chance to participate in the next township test." Zhao Yao sneered twice, "Give them the opportunity to be officials at this time, do you think they are tempted?" ”

Tongxi: "Your Highness, you are smiling so treacherously." ”

"I call it stratagem."

"But, Your Highness, not everyone can be an official."

"It's okay, some people can't be officials, but they can do other things, such as teaching." Zhao Yao smiled very cunningly, "Besides, if they come to me, they can continue to take the imperial examination." There are no people in Lingnan who take the imperial examination, they are here with me, and it is much easier to take the examination than in the mainland, do you say that they are tempted? ”

"It's so exciting." Your Highness is so calculating.

"Besides, I can also take the guild exam and the palace exam here, but the imperial court does not recognize the tribute yuan and champion in the exam, but I admit it, they can take the Jinshi exam, and they can hold important positions here." The prince's fief, the prince can hold imperial examinations in the fiefdom and select talents for his small court.

"Your Highness, if you do this, there will definitely be many people coming to Lingnan."

"Hurry up and sharpen my ink."

"Here comes the slave."

Zhao Yao wrote a letter to the king of Chu and the king of Wei, respectively. He believed that with the abilities of the fourth brother and the starling brother, he would definitely be able to help him fool many people to come to Lingnan.

At this time, the emperor, who was far away in the capital, received a recital from Zhao Yao sent by the dragon guard.

Zhao Yao's memo is about planting cowpox to prevent smallpox.

After reading this, the emperor was very excited, and when he got up, he accidentally bumped into the table in front of him, causing ink to be everywhere on the couch. Ink also splashed on him.

"Sun Kui."

Sun Kui heard the emperor call him, and hurriedly walked in: "The slave is here." ”

"Go and call me the Imperial Doctor." The emperor explained, "Just call Imperial Doctor Lu." ”

Sun Kui thought that the emperor was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly ran to the Tai Hospital, but as a result, Imperial Doctor Lu was not on duty tonight, so he asked Sun Doudou to leave the palace and call Lu Tai to the palace.

Imperial Physician Lu hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when he heard that the emperor had summoned him urgently, he thought that the emperor had some kind of acute illness, so he rushed into the palace with Sun Doudou.

As soon as the emperor saw Imperial Physician Lu, he showed him Zhao Yao's recital and the detailed process of planting cowpox written by Dr. Tong.

After reading it, Imperial Physician Lu's face was full of shock, and he stammered: "Your Majesty...... This...... Is this true? ”

"Really, Xiao Shi has already sent a doctor who planted cowpox back to Beijing, and they will teach you how to grow cowpox at that time."

"Great, really great......" Imperial Doctor Lu was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he could only say "yes" vigorously.

The emperor said with a smile on his face, "This stinky boy has done another great deed this time. ”

"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Han has done ......" Imperial Physician Lu said, his eyes were red, and he choked with tears in his eyes, "His Royal Highness the King of Han has saved the lives of the people in the world, this is ...... This is...... His Royal Highness the King of Han is the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva...... His Royal Highness King Xie Han for the people of the world. "Smallpox has been a terminal disease since ancient times, and I don't know how many people die from smallpox every year. From ancient times to the present, doctors have racked their brains to prevent smallpox. Nowadays, His Royal Highness the King of Han uses the method of planting cowpox to prevent smallpox, which ...... This...... It is a living bodhisattva.

"He's my son, not a living bodhisattva." The emperor smiled and said, "In a few days, the doctor sent by the King of Han will arrive in the capital, and you will be well prepared in the hospital during this time." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Dr. Tong wrote about the cowpox, you take it back and study it carefully."

Imperial Physician Lu looked grateful: "Emperor Xie." ”

"Alright, you can go back now."

"Your Majesty, please stay in the hospital tonight." Where is Imperial Doctor Lu still in the mood to sleep now. He wanted to study the twists and turns of this cowpox immediately.

"Then go ahead."

"The minister retired." As soon as Imperial Physician Lu walked to the door, he suddenly thought of where the baby with cowpox got it from, he went back and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this kind of cowpox child ......"

"There should be children between the ages of six and fourteen in the court."

Sun Kui on the side said: "Your Majesty, the child in the Youting Court has already been released. "When the first emperor and the emperor ascended the throne, they granted amnesty to the whole world, and those who had made mistakes in the court and their children were released.

"Are there any on death row?"

"Your Majesty, you said before that the child was innocent, and then let them go."

Emperor: "......"

Imperial Physician Lu thought of the children at home, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister can let the children of the courtier's family plant cowpox first, or let the children of other imperial physicians plant cowpox." ”

"Okay, then let your children plant first."

Doctor Lu retired and went to the hospital. The emperor was happy in his heart, and he was not in the mood to continue to review the folds, so he went to the Kunde Hall to find Concubine Liang and told her about it. After hearing this, Concubine Liang was naturally very happy and excited.

The next day, as soon as the emperor ascended to the court, he asked Sun Kui to recite Zhao Yao's recital in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

After listening to Sun Kui's recitation, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all had unbelievable expressions on their faces.

Although the ministers were not physicians, they knew what smallpox was. Whoever it is, when it comes to smallpox, it changes color. Many of the ministers' relatives or children died of smallpox.

He Xiang: "Your Majesty, can planting cowpox really prevent smallpox?" ”

"It's true, King Han has already experimented." The emperor couldn't hide the pride on his face, "The king of Han has been experimenting, and now as long as the healthy children can succeed in planting cowpox." Children who have been infected with cowpox will hardly get smallpox in the future. ”

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "!!!! (End of chapter)
