Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 291
At noon that day, when the sun was at its peak, Wang Pingan ordered the pair of thugs and his son to be taken to the courtyard outside the prison. Li Ji, Tao Judong and others all came and surrounded Wang Pingan. No matter what their identities, they all came here to observe the results of the first step of vaccination!

Xiang Tu took the soldiers and hung the villainous father and son on a large wooden stake so that everyone could see it.Wang Pingan stepped forward in person to give the pulse of the villainous father and son!

After a while, Wang Pingan said loudly, "The pulse is normal."

The onlookers cheered in unison and clapped their hands.Li Ji breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "God bless, it's fine!"

Tao Judong and other imperial physicians, as if they had made an appointment in advance, raised their hands to stroke their beards and nodded together. Although no one spoke, everyone was happy in their hearts.

Although colleagues are enemies, this kind of big event can no longer make them feel envious or jealous. This is a big event that concerns the entire country. No matter how narrow-minded people are, they will not have any hatred for Wang Pingan!

Scholars and common people are the most excited. If the dialectical success is successful, they will be the first group of people to benefit. Their wishes can be realized, so there is no reason not to be excited!

Wang Pingan checked the tongue coating of the father and son again, took off his clothes, and carried out a full-body examination. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he turned around and said to the imperial physicians: "It's your turn, come and do a checkup for them .”

Tao Judong did his part, and was the first to go forward to examine the villainous father and son. After he got down, the imperial physicians stepped forward one by one. Make sure the dialectical results are foolproof!
After checking for almost half an hour, it was finally confirmed that not only the pustules on the hands of the villainous father and son disappeared, but also the fever subsided, and they were in complete health. At that time, I gained a little weight, and it seems that not only did I not suffer from smallpox, but I also lived a good life!

Wang Ping'an turned around, faced the audience, and said loudly: "The pox paste extracted from people who have had smallpox can be inoculated into people who have not had smallpox. Preliminary conclusions can be drawn, and there is no danger of life!"

"Okay! Ping'an Little Miracle Doctor has immeasurable merits!" The surrounding audience shouted in unison.

Xiang Tu waved his hand, and the soldiers outside the crowd rushed out in a large group. When they reached the intersection, someone took out a horn and blew it.The soldiers couldn't wait for the other party to respond, so they shouted directly: "Hey, long live my emperor, long live the Tang Dynasty, hey!"

The sound spread far away, and the distance was still silent!
Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering cheer at the end of the path: "Long live, long live, long live!"
The soldiers in the distance knew that the first stage of dialectics was successful!A soldier flew on his horse and ran towards Chang'an like crazy, wanting to report the good news to the court and the emperor!

In the village, Wang Ping'an ordered someone to bring the villain out, and also checked his whole body.This villain was the one who was directly inoculated with vaccinia pox pulp at the beginning, and all the adverse reactions on his body have been cured. In fact, Wang Pingan had already checked him yesterday, and today it was just to be safe, and he had to do it again.

After the inspection, Wang Ping'an turned around again and shouted to everyone, "He's all healed too, and he's gained weight!"

Everyone laughed loudly and clapped their hands again. This shows that there is nothing wrong with people getting smallpox from cattle. Not only is smallpox from cattle not fatal, but it is more gentle. Even more terrifying, the opposite is true!

Wang Pingan said again: "The next step is to differentiate the evidence. People who got vaccinia directly, and people who were inoculated with the vaccinia who got vaccinia, will not get smallpox again!"

This time everyone was a little quieter. What Wang Pingan said now is the key point and the final result of this dialectic. If it can be proved that people who have been vaccinated with cowpox will not get smallpox again, then this Even if the matter is successful, the smallpox disease will finally be brought under control and will no longer wreak havoc in the world!
Wang Ping'an said: "Whether you will get smallpox again, you can't start the diagnosis immediately. You have to wait at least half a month. Of course, if you can wait for more than a month, two months, that is the best, but every time period, We all have to get the results and report them to the emperor, so we vaccinate in batches."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience fell silent. Since vaccinations are going to be done in batches, there must be first and last. Although it seems that vaccination is not dangerous now, who knows if it will be dangerous when it is his turn Woolen cloth?Few would want to be among the first to be vaccinated!
Li Ji stood up, waved his arms, and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The first batch of people are the death row prisoners. They are all damned. Even if they survive smallpox, they will be taken back to Chang'an and beheaded for public display. !"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, someone will be the first batch!
Li Ji said again: "According to the old man's opinion, the second batch of people should be done by Lihu, but after discussing with Mr. Wang last night, I feel that we should not only let Lihu come out to vaccinate. The better it is over, this will require someone to join the second batch, this is all voluntary!"

After a pause, he added: "Actually, the difference between the third batch and the second batch will not be a few days."

In any case, this matter is not small after all. As slaves, they have no choice, and letting them vaccinate the second batch is not considered bullying. Even they themselves feel that, based on their identities, Not to mention the second batch of vaccinations, even if they are allowed to take the lead, so what?

But the scholars and the common people all hesitated. Even if this matter is not dangerous, it is normal to think about it a little bit.

Amidst the silence, someone suddenly chanted the Buddha's name. After the sound of Amitabha, a monk with a dignified appearance slowly rose from outside the crowd. Everyone turned their heads and stood up in unison!
This eminent monk who chanted the Buddha's name was none other than Master Huizheng of Lingling Temple!Huizheng was not much taller than others, but at this moment, he was slowly growing taller bit by bit, until he was half a body taller than everyone else, so that everyone could see him!
Wang Ping'an was also puzzled, did he step on a stool?But even if you step on a stool, it should be raised directly, not slowly "raised" up!
Huizheng clasped his palms together, and said in a loud voice: "Amitabha, you are so good! It is a great good thing to discern smallpox. We who have left home in a generation can save all sentient beings. We should set an example for the world. Let the poor monk join the second batch of people Bar!"

Sure enough, he is an eminent monk. He must have been enlightened by gods and Buddhas, so he is so brave, and he can rise slowly. Doesn't this just prove the saying that Buddhism is boundless!
Li Ji groaned, looked at Huizheng in the distance, and said: "I heard that there are people in the Jianghu who are strong in martial arts, and they can leap several feet. When I was young, I have seen a few, but This person rising slowly and hanging in the air has never been seen before, it seems that this eminent monk is really a person of great Tang!"

Wang Pingan hummed, and said, "If there is a circle of light behind the head, it will be even more perfect!"

The common people thought to themselves: "The eminent monk of Lingling Temple is indeed tall!"

The scholars thought to themselves: "People who are blessed by gods and Buddhas are really different!"

The soldiers standing outside thought: "If you want to look for it, you can also find someone who is strong, why don't you look for us, we have plenty of strength!"

Huizheng thought to himself: "Don't shake your hands, my body is shaking!"

The little monk had a hard time thinking: "Master Uncle, you are so heavy, I can hardly lift you!"

Among the crowd, someone suddenly shouted: "Okay, Master Huizheng said it well! The second batch of vaccinations, count me in!" The person who spoke was Di Renjie.

After Di Renjie finished speaking, another human said: "As a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, I want to serve the country. This is a good opportunity. How can I miss it? Count me in!" The person who spoke was Qiu Tingxuan.

The two of them took the lead, and many passionate scholars also shouted: "Count me in, count me in!"

Almost half of the scholars yelled, while the remaining half of the scholars felt embarrassed when they saw everyone else yelling. We all had the same identity, and it was either the second batch or the third batch. Now that we are here, I still want to Can you run away?But being robbed of the limelight by others is really extremely boring.They all yelled too, whether they like it or not, let's just go along with it!
Li Ji clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, you are all ambitious men from the Tang Dynasty. You are all the pillars of the country. I am reluctant to let you vaccinate first, but since you are so enthusiastic, I don't want to go against your wishes." How about this, the scholars will join the second batch, ordinary people from good families, the last batch!"

"Thank you Lord Li for your success, and thank you Lord Wang for the opportunity!" The scholars shouted together, rushing forward one after another, trying to squeeze around the courtyard.

Now that you have decided how to vaccinate in batches, there is nothing to delay.Wang Ping'an and Li Ji ordered the death row prisoners to be released one by one, and half of them were inoculated with the pox paste of sick cows.

Wang Pingan personally committed a crime, and then asked the imperial physicians of the imperial medical office to follow suit. The process was very simple and not too difficult.For example: In order to increase the accuracy of the dialectical diagnosis, why not plant some pox syrup on the death row prisoners, such as on the head, face, belly, buttocks, legs and feet!
On this day, although it was noisy and there was no moment of silence, it was quite fulfilling.The condemned prisoners were inoculated with pox paste from sick cows. After finishing the work, everyone was so excited that they went to the cowshed to inoculate half of the newly brought calves with pox paste. The whole body is full of small mouths!

The little calves mooed, and the old man with the white beard hid...

After that, it was quiet for a few days, and those prisoners who had been inoculated with the diseased vaccinia began to get sick, but the symptoms were still mild, similar to that of the previous villain, only a few blisters appeared at the place where the pox was inoculated, and some had a slight fever. Other than that, no major side effects!
The crowd gathered together again, and Wang Ping'an performed another demonstration, extracting pox syrup from the bodies of these death row prisoners, and inoculating them on the remaining half of the death row prisoners.

After the inoculation, it was several days of waiting.

Those prisoners who were previously inoculated with vaccinia pulp, their symptoms disappeared, their fever disappeared, and their blisters disappeared.And soon, those prisoners who were inoculated with vaccinia also showed symptoms, but they disappeared quickly!
Only then did Wang Ping'an officially announce that the first stage of identification was a complete success, and the next step of identification can be carried out!
This time, because it was an official result, after the news spread outside the mountain, the general guarding outside personally wrote a memorial and sent a team of soldiers to rush back to Chang'an!

This group of soldiers were all men with loud voices. They rode their horses back all the way, shouting loudly all the way, and all the villages and towns along the way also knew the news. The people all cheered, beat gongs and drums, and celebrated!
The memorial was immediately placed on Li Shimin's Longshu case.Li Shimin has been a little troubled recently. The imperial meeting has just been held, and the ministers have just left the palace, but as soon as the memorial was delivered, the ministers hurried back to congratulate the emperor!

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin showed a smile on his face, and said, "Okay, since the first step of identification is successful, it seems that things are going well. It won't be long before Wang Ping'an will send another good news!" The memorial was handed over to the ministers for circulation.

Changsun Wuji finished reading the memorial and said with a smile: "Although there are always bad news from outside the customs recently, Chang'an is just the opposite. Then Wang Ping'an sent such great good news. Your Majesty, will you be happy this time?"

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's pretty smooth." He thought for a while, and then said: "I still need to investigate the matter of my envoy from the Tang Dynasty being detained. This matter has confused me. When did I send an envoy to Tianzhu?"

Changsun Wuji said: "In the memory of the old minister, there is no such thing. My Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu have never had diplomatic relations. The king there has never proclaimed my vassal to my Tang Dynasty, nor sent any tribute, and my Tang Dynasty has never bestowed any tribute. Title, reward the king of Tianzhu, we don't even know how many countries there are in Tianzhu, how can we send envoys?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Could it be that the envoy sent by Tianzhu to pay tribute to our Tang Dynasty was detained in the desert? The person who reported the letter didn't make it clear? Detaining my envoy from the Tang Dynasty is a very serious matter. Send troops to fight against it!"

Chu Suiliang said: "The person who reported the letter died before he could speak clearly. He didn't even enter the Yumen Pass, and the guard found him before he died. That's why he wrote the memorial and reported it to Chang'an. What happened? What's going on, the guard can't tell!"

Li Shimin hummed, and said: "This matter is strange, but there is no need to worry about it. It is estimated that someone pretended to be the envoy of Tang Dynasty, but it turned out that the impersonation was not good, and someone saw through it."

The ministers nodded together, and said: "It is estimated that this is the case, just send someone to investigate, but don't worry too much about it!"

The monarchs and ministers put the matter aside and began to discuss again, talking about how to prevent smallpox by dialectics.
