The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 243 Civil and Military Officials Invite Li Yin to Come Out (Sixth)
After Sun Simiao heard the news, he immediately went to the palace.

At this time, the palace was already full of people. These people were mainly doctors, and some ministers were also there.

Smallpox is a severe infectious disease caused by the smallpox virus infecting humans. After recovery, people can be immune for life.

It is one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate. It is extremely contagious and serious. Anyone who has not suffered from smallpox can be infected.

There is no specific medicine to cure people infected with smallpox, and the patients will have pockmarks on their faces after recovery, hence the name "smallpox".It has strong resistance, can resist dryness and low temperature, and can survive for several months to a year and a half on scabs, dust and quilts.

In this day and age, there are no effective treatments.The most basic, effective and easiest preventive method is to vaccinate against vaccinia.

Everyone still doesn't know what happened.

Why so many doctors come together.

Until Li Shimin and Empress Changsun appeared.

After everyone saluted.

Li Shimin said: "Today, a smallpox patient was found in Anlefang in Chang'an City. The situation is very urgent! So let everyone come over to discuss countermeasures!"

Anlefang is the most inferior workshop in the entire Chang'an City.

The economy is the most backward and the people are the poorest.

From there smallpox broke out and would be out of control for the first time.

When his words have been spoken.

Everyone was shocked, followed by fear.

"Smallpox has not been discovered for many years. I heard that people who suffer from it will die!"

A doctor said.In fact, it may be higher, even if the response is timely.

"And it's extremely contagious! As long as one person is found, a large number of people will be infected! What should we do next?"

And all the civil servants and generals were shocked when they heard this.

"what!"

Smallpox had not appeared for many years.

This time it happened out of nowhere.

It made everyone talk about it.

There are many generals among them.

They broke out from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and they were not afraid of ghosts and gods, but they were shocked by the word smallpox.

Smallpox is more terrifying than any enemy that can be seen.

Because it can kill people invisible, if it is not well controlled, it may turn the rapidly developing Tang Dynasty into a purgatory on earth overnight!

It even set the entire Datang economy back for decades!
"Smallpox... eruption... So scary..."

Empress Changsun was a little trembling when she spoke.

I didn't expect this disease to be so terrible.

If it is introduced into the palace, two tenths of the people in the entire palace will die.

Wang Gui was also trembling with fright, no one would be able to survive in such a situation.

He said:

"As far as I know, the most recent one was a few years ago. At that time, thousands of people died in just one county. Many people were displaced and their families were destroyed."

Then fear followed.

He also said: "Your Majesty, I think that the flowers are punished by heaven to punish sinners, and those who get it are sinners and villains! And those who are with wicked people, please control the entire Anlefang, and don't let them out! They should be Get rid of it! Burn it directly!"

The reality is cruel.

Wang Gui's method is also the most simple and crude way for the ancients to deal with the plague.

Also the most useful.

But it is the cruelest.

Whoever dares to issue such an order is simply not taking human life for life, and it is bound to arouse people's hatred.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin said directly: "If someone from your Wang family got smallpox, would all the Wang family have to burn it?"

Wang Gui ignored Cheng Yaojin.

Master Cui Ren scolded directly.

"Wang Gui, what are you putting people's lives at! Smallpox is terrible, but as long as it is properly controlled, the epidemic will be brought under control! You don't distinguish between right and wrong, and just set it on fire. Your actions are too cruel! This is not what a parent official should do!"

His words drew the approval of the crowd.

Everyone accused Wang Gui one after another.

What kind of heart do you have, for your own safety, disregarding the life and death of the people?

But Wang Gui said directly: "You have a solution, so tell me, what is the solution?"

Everyone waited silently.

Wang Gui said again: "Your Majesty, the disease is currently in Chang'an City. If it is not cleaned up directly, the whole Chang'an will be trapped in crisis! The prosperity that has been built so hard will be ruined! Please also order to clear it up!"

Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

At this time, he asked, "What do you think, queen?"

Normally, when Li Shimin was undecided, he would always ask Empress Changsun what she meant.

"Your Majesty, you must not learn from the brutality of King Zhou of Shang. The reason why the Shang Dynasty perished was because their kings ignored the lives of the people, and even made troubles! Your Majesty, you are a wise king, and you should lead the people to prosperity together. Don't be credulous. Nonsense!"

Li Shimin couldn't calm down either.

He looked around.

Sun Simiao was on the side, not speaking.

Seems to be thinking about something.

Then Sun Simiao spoke.

"Your Majesty, the old man thought that he could go to the sixth prince for a solution!"

His words won the approval of some people.

"That's right, the sixth prince must have a solution, the queen's condition can improve, it's his prescription that will help!"

"Yes, after taking the sixth prince's prescription, my wife's complexion became extremely rosy!"

"The sixth prince..."

All the ministers talked about the sixth prince.

Li Shimin was tired of hearing it.

"Shut up!"

Wang Gui came out again and said, "Your Majesty, how can you entrust the life of a city to a young man? Isn't that a gamble?"

His purpose of doing this is that he doesn't want Li Yin to be in the limelight again.I don't even want to put my life in his hands.

Sun Simiao said, "The Sixth Prince's medical skills are very powerful. I think that for smallpox, I dare to vouch for him who can do it!"

At this time, Sun Simiao was a little unconfident.

In the past, he would have taken the initiative to say that he could cure it.

"So, Sun Zhenren can't cure this disease?"

Wang Gui asked.

Don't you ask this question knowingly?
But Sun Simiao said very sincerely: "This old man can only lighten some of the burden on the patient, and heal the disease... The old man is not very sure!"

Even Sun Simiao is not sure.

Who else has this grasp?

Empress Changsun said again: "Your Majesty, I think that what Sun Zhenren said is not wrong!"

At the same time, the ministers and the people all said in unison: "Why don't your majesty let the sixth prince try?"

Li Shimin hesitated.

Do you really want someone to beg Li Yin?
People around are very anxious.

I can't wait to make a decision for Li Shimin.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Wang Gui said on the sidelines.

"His Majesty……"

Sun Simiao seemed to see Li Shimin's embarrassment.

He said again: "Your Majesty, why don't I let the old man invite the sixth prince!"

Sun Simiao did not agree to Li Yin's request before, and now he is going to beg Li Yin, maybe Li Yin will not agree to him, but for the sake of the people, Sun Simiao fought hard.

Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng also came out: "Your Majesty, ministers and others also go together!"

This approach makes people feel that these ministers are more sensible than Li Shimin.

More and more people joined in, and they all wanted to invite Li Yin to play.

Li Shimin was silent.

What is he going to do?
