Chapter 468: Treatment of Smallpox
Every year I look at the situation of those who have been vaccinated with cowpox to see what the difference is between them and those who have not.
As Qin Shou guessed, on the second day, Fang Fengzhu and Du Ruhui both began to have high fevers, and more rashes appeared on their bodies one after another, but on the third day, their body temperature was slowly stabilizing.
In the next two or three days, the people who were vaccinated that evening had improved to a certain extent, and they were more energetic than those who were not vaccinated, and it looked like they still needed to recuperate for a few days.
Seeing this situation, after determining that cowpox can cure smallpox, Fang Xuanling immediately went straight back to Chang'an, and he wanted to go back and quickly tell His Majesty the good news.
Thank God, God bless the Tang Dynasty!
Now Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace can be described as exhausted.
Since he and his eldest grandson Wuji came back from Lijiazhuang that day, he saw the deserted and deserted street, and his heart was already half cold.
Although there were already hints in the court about his guilt, when he knew that his son might be able to cure smallpox, he didn't think so, and those imperial officials, including Wei Zheng, an upright man, were now anxious.
Even if the eldest grandson Wuji can, he can't top up to the top of the house Xuanling and Du Ruhui plus the affairs of his own officials, the eldest grandson Wuji has been living in Shangshu Province for the past few days, and he is still too busy, and now his face is also haggard, he feels that he was not so tired when he followed Li Er's army to fight before.
"The grain from Taicang has arrived, urge again, remember, reiterate to me the official document of Shangshu Province, it is strictly forbidden to raise prices during natural disasters, and those who violate it will be killed!"
Li Shimin said.
He didn't want to kill anyone, but if he didn't have such an iron and bloody hand, at such a difficult moment, some people would have been unable to bear it and make waves.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head and said, "By the way, what Yushitai said...... What is Your Majesty's plan for that? ”
Now every day, those imperial historians are pressuring, it is the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin who are holding it together, and the eldest grandson Wuji is going to be unable to hold on.
"Leave them alone, could it be that I provoked this smallpox?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"But now that the medicine is insufficient, although people have been sent from all over the country, it is still ......," said the eldest grandson Wuji with a sigh.
"Let the three princes and nine kings donate to me what they have in their family, as well as everything in the palace, as long as it is useful, you can take it!" There are also five surnames and seven sects of their family! ”
Li Shimin said: "Don't let the people lack medicine, I don't want the people to scold me behind my back!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji slandered in his heart, in the hearts of the people, you were not a thing before the change of the Xuanwu Gate to the Turkic victory, and now that this is a matter, you are not a thing, but the eldest grandson Wuji didn't dare to say this, so he had to bow down and say: "Minister, the minister has already been to their five surnames and seven sects, and they say that there are no medicinal materials at home!" ”
"None? Then you let Cheng Yanjin and his son go, they are relatives and can talk well, let Cheng Yanjin take more people! ”
Li Shimin said very shamelessly, anyway, it wasn't him who did it, it was Cheng Biting Jin's old bastard, and it had nothing to do with him!
But Fang Xuanling's side, after so many days, there was no news at all, which really made him anxious.
"Yes!"
The eldest grandson Wuji said, Your Majesty is becoming more and more shameless, and he has always been specialized in doing this.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei has come down!"
"Let him in!" Li Shimin said.
Soon, a chubby little boy walked in.
Seeing his precious son, Li Shimin was not so troubled in his heart, and asked: "Qingque, at this time, what did you do when you came to your father?" It's not good to read! ”
"Qingque, I heard that smallpox broke out outside the city many days ago, so I came to see my father! Please Father, Uncle! ”
The little fat man Li Tai said respectfully to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji.
Although he is fat, he is still a child, chubby, and has a very cute feeling, plus this bowing and saluting, a little cute look, Li Shimin smiled: "Well, Qingque has a heart." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "If you were in charge now, and now there is an outbreak of smallpox, what would you do?" ”
Hearing this question, Li Tai felt that the center of the problem really came out.
The teacher is right, his father will definitely test him!
Now while the eldest brother Chengqian is practicing outside the palace, he must take this opportunity to occupy an absolute position in his father's heart, so that he can replace the eldest brother in the future!
Although he is only in his teens, Li Tai, encouraged by a group of people around him, coupled with Li Shimin's excessive doting, also has some thoughts about the throne that he shouldn't have.
are all the sons of the father to the queen mother, why can the eldest brother be the prince and be the emperor in the future, the emperor for generations, he can only be a prince and bow his head to the minister!
If he also has a chance, why doesn't he go for it!
Li Tai said: "The sons will allocate grain, grass and medicinal materials to help the people. ”
"But now that the treasury is running out of grain, grass and medicinal herbs, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Li Tai was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Then the father, the son will issue an edict of sin, because if this does not work, it must be that Qingque has done something wrong, and it is best to issue an edict of guilt and sacrifice to the heavens to ask for forgiveness from God." ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart shook his head and sighed, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who was listening, was also sighing, this is due to the throne, it will definitely not be his turn, otherwise......
"Oh, that's it, okay, okay, it's okay, you're doing well, it's good, it's good, you go back, I still have some things here."
"Father's ......"
Li Tai listened to his father's tone, and knew that his father was obviously not satisfied with his answer, but didn't all dynasties do this?
Is there any other way!
Just when Li Tai wanted to say something more, the eunuch came to report again: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiang is back!" ”
"Quick, quick, get people in!"
Before Li Shimin could speak, the eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in saying that if Fang Xuanling didn't come back, he would be unable to hold back.
"I've seen His Majesty ......"
"Okay, don't talk about this, let's talk about it, Li Jiazhuang, how is it now?"
Li Shimin hurriedly asked.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's done! found a cure for smallpox, and Datang was saved! ”
"Really?"
Li Shimin asked with a look of disbelief, his heart was beating suddenly very fast, since the smallpox virus, how many years, in all dynasties, no one has been able to solve this tricky trouble: "Xuan Ling, are you serious?" ”
"The minister does not dare to deceive the king, he has already experimented in Lijiazhuang, this method can indeed treat smallpox, and it can make people who have not been infected with smallpox will not be infected with smallpox again in this life." Fang Xuanling said.
"Is it Shou'er?" Li Shimin asked excitedly.
"Yes, that's him! With him, it is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and the blessing of His Majesty! ”
