Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 16 Chang'an Serious Illness
The Imperial Palace of Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Something serious has happened!"

Regardless of the guards' obstruction, Sun Simiao rushed into the imperial study.

Li Er and Chang Sun Wuji, who were drinking at the same table, turned around with confused faces and looked at the panting Sun Simiao: "Doctor Sun, you look panicked, what happened!"

"Smallpox, smallpox broke out near Chang'an City!"

Sun Simiao took a deep breath and said quickly, "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, you should send troops to suppress smallpox as soon as possible, or it will be too late!"

"What, smallpox???"

Li Er and Changsun Wuji's hearts trembled, and they stood up in horror.

Changsun Wuji's face turned pale: "Why... how could smallpox appear, there is no sign of it at all, Dr. Sun, are you trying to fool us?"

"The matter is so important, how dare the old man deceive His Majesty!" Miracle Doctor Sun jumped to his feet anxiously: "If it wasn't for Miracle Doctor Li who discovered in advance, smallpox has already flooded Chang'an City. Don't hesitate, Your Majesty, hurry up and send people to rescue the disaster." , it's too late!"

"What, Ze... Doctor Li? Did Doctor Li discover smallpox?"

Li Er's eyes popped, and he said in a trembling voice, "Where is Doctor Li, where is he now?"

Sun Simiao revealed a bit of sadness in his anxiety: "Master Li has had contact with smallpox patients, and now he is probably infected with smallpox. He insists on staying in the village to treat the people, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Before Sun Simiao finished speaking, he saw Li Er's face was ashen, and he staggered back two steps. His whole body seemed to be drained of all his strength, and he collapsed on the imperial case in an instant.

Changsun Wuji's complexion changed wildly.

Li Ze contracted smallpox?Isn't that hopeless?
The eldest prince has just been found, and this kind of thing happened before he was allowed to enjoy two days of good life, what should I do!

Li Er was so heartbroken that he almost suffocated, his whole body trembling like a hysterical attack, his eyes stared blankly at the roof.

"Ze'er...why got smallpox..."

When Changsun Wuji saw Li Er suddenly falling to the ground, his expression suddenly changed and he turned pale.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji ran towards Li Er in great horror, quickly helped Li Er up, and said in a hurry and panic: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient... the Eucharist is important... the Eucharist is important... ...Miraculous doctor Sun, come and take a look..."

Sun Simiao stepped forward quickly and quickly felt Li Er's pulse. Li Er grabbed Sun Simiao's withered arm and asked feebly: "Doctor Sun...Doctor Sun, do you have any way to save Ze...Ze'er..."

Li Er didn't care about his identity, the grief in his heart had already gone to his head.

When Sun Simiao was caught by Li Er, his brow was sweating anxiously, and he said in a panic, "I'm ashamed of being called a genius doctor... I'm really incompetent..."

In the middle of speaking, a gleam flashed in Sun Simiao's eyes, and his face immediately relaxed: "This old man is really incompetent, but Doctor Li insists on staying in the disaster area, so he must have a way to treat smallpox... Doctor Li has the art of bringing the dead back to life... He must have a way!"

As Sun Simiao spoke, his body was shaking like chaff with excitement, and Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! Divine Doctor Li! Divine Doctor Li has the ability to bring the dead back to life. He must be fine... He must be fine..."

Li Er hurriedly stood up, and said anxiously in a trembling voice: "But we can't let Miracle Doctor Li stay in the disaster area, we must bring him back!"

"Auxiliary machine, I order you to lead a thousand cattle guards immediately..." Li Er suddenly changed the subject, and quickly put on casual clothes: "Forget it, I will go in person. Whether there are patients or not in Chang'an City, I will leave it to Sun Yi." Miracle doctor, you and the auxiliary machine will deal with it together!"

With that said, Li Er handed the sword around his waist to Changsun Wuji: "Seeing this sword is like seeing me, you must follow the arrangement of Dr. The army has smallpox!"

After finishing speaking, Li Er hurriedly walked out of the Ganlu Hall with a panicked expression.

Sun Simiao looked at Li Er's hurried back, and quickly reminded behind his back: "Your Majesty, Doctor Li said that when going out, you must cover your mouth and nose with a silk cloth to prevent infection!"

Changsun Wuji took the sword and hurriedly saluted Li Er's back.

Li Er didn't look back, just nodded, and then disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

With Cheng Yaojin, he quickly summoned a thousand cattle guards and galloped towards the outside of Chang'an City.

Changsun Wuji and Sun Simiao also rushed out of the palace.

The two visited various cities and local jurisdictions and officials repeatedly asked: "Chang'an City may have been infected with smallpox, tell all the people in Chang'an City to reduce going out, and try not to contact patients who already have abscess."

The news quickly spread to every corner through word of mouth.

A certain street in Chang'an City.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, why are you still running the teahouse! There is smallpox in the city, and you are still here leisurely listening to the music? Hurry up and close the door to avoid disaster!" Chu Rong, who was passing by the door of the teahouse, saw the shopkeeper leaning against the door, and looked at him. He grabbed Shopkeeper Zhao's sleeve.

Shopkeeper Zhao trembled in fright at the sudden grab, turned his head and frowned and looked Chu Rong up and down: "Scared me, what kind of smallpox is not smallpox, where did you hear the rumor? Let's go." Let's go have a cup of tea, you're in such a hurry..."

As he said that, shopkeeper Zhao was about to pull Churong into the store, but Chu Rong yanked shopkeeper Zhao violently, causing shopkeeper Zhao to stagger.

"It's really not a rumor! People in many places have chickenpox on their faces. I'm going to get an anti-fetal drug for my wife today, and the doctor is about to close the shop!" Chu Rong firmly grasped Zhao's hand, two The eyebrows were tangled together, forming a huge knot: "I have to go back, if you don't believe me..."

Just as he was speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

The two searched for their reputation, and saw Li Er riding a tall black horse, brandishing a golden whip, galloping straight towards the gate of the city.

At the same time, a mighty army followed behind him.

Seeing this, shopkeeper Zhao looked at Chu Rong dully: "This...this...could it be true!"

Chu Rong slammed his hand away, and ran towards his home while talking: "What is it! This is true! Believe it or not, I'm going back first..."

Shopkeeper Zhao stood at the door in a daze for a while, and then shouted into the shop in horror: "Masters, this small shop has to be closed, and this bowl of tea is on my head, everyone should drink it up quickly and go back to each house." Bar!"

"What's the matter with you, shopkeeper? Don't do good business?" The guests in the teahouse protested.

"That's right! We finally found time to take care of the shopkeeper's business, how can we drive people away?"

"This is what I'm excited about. Why should I close the door?"

Only then did shopkeeper Zhao feel the helplessness of Chu Rong's persuasion, and shouted quickly: "Oh... thank you all for taking care of me, but today is different from the past. Smallpox is spreading in our city of Chang'an. If we don't close the door, My life is gone! Even the emperor left the city to take refuge just now!"

The shopkeeper was about to close the door while talking.

Several guests sitting at the door looked at the billowing smoke and dust on the main road in the distance outside the door and the Qianniuwei in armor and holding a knife, their expressions suddenly changed, and they glanced into the house.

Hastily put down the tea bowl in his hand and shouted: "It's smallpox!"

As soon as the words fell, he covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and rushed out of the door.

The few protesting guests at first turned pale with fright, stood up and ran towards the door.

In the blink of an eye, only shopkeeper Zhao was left in the teahouse, who hurriedly came to the door.

For a while, all the squares and cities in Chang'an City began to close their doors early, even the busiest brothels in Pingkangfang in the afternoon became extremely deserted.

After all, no one wants to lose their life just to be happy.

All the streets and roads are full of a group of galloping figures, either pushing carts or riding horses, rushing towards their homes one after another.

Not long after, the entire Chang'an City seemed to have come to the curfew time, and there was almost no one on the street.

Changsun Wuji made an open space in a corner of the Chang'an city wall as a place to isolate smallpox patients.

A group of soldiers wearing armor and carrying knives went to various streets to search for people who had been infected: "Anyone with a fever or acne will be taken away. Those who conceal their illness will be executed on the spot!"

A group of people in armor and armed with long-handled modao searched from house to house in every street.

Outside the entire isolation area, there are hundreds of soldiers tightly surrounding these sick people to prevent anyone from escaping. Each soldier has a silk cloth tied to his face.

The people who were screened out were terrified, and many of them didn't even know what happened.

A group of people who didn't know why asked around: "Brother, do you know what happened?"

The man turned his head and saw that he had pea-sized acne all over his face. The acne was swollen high, and the white pus could be clearly seen in it.

Glowing in the setting sun, it looked both creepy and disgusting.

Seeing the big brother's face, the man couldn't help shrinking his neck back in fright.

The eldest brother looked at the thin guy in front of him, but didn't pay attention to his movements.

Anyway, they are basically doomed to be gone now, sighed and said slowly: "This is smallpox, I don't think my life will last long, and you don't have acne here, why were you arrested?"

"Those military masters said that people with headache and fever should be caught in the same way. They are the same as those with acne, but the severity is different." A person with a flushed face also came over.

"Oh...it's over, I have just arrived in Chang'an not long ago, and I have contracted smallpox. If I knew it, I shouldn't have come to a big city with a lot of people. God is really short-sighted. I am so young. Gone!"

When the reason was found out, the patients surrounded by the army sighed one after another, and generally knew that their end would be death.

"Didn't we have a young genius doctor in Chang'an City? Why didn't you see him come out for treatment?"

"I only saw Miracle Doctor Sun, but I haven't seen the young Miracle Doctor who is said to be riding a crane."

"What is riding a crane? I saw it this morning. It's just a young man. It's not different except for its delicate appearance. I think it's just a liar. There's no way to bring the dead back to life."

"Hey... this is fate, if you want to blame it, you can only blame our bad fate... It's a pity, it's a pity..."

The crowd began to complain one after another, and Sun Simiao and Changsun Wuji, who were standing in the distance, sighed constantly as they watched the hundreds of patients who had been isolated.

"Sigh... I don't know if these methods can control this epidemic." Sun Simiao let out a long sigh. Seeing more and more people being escorted from various streets into this isolation area, Sun Simiao felt that A moment of weakness.

"Being a doctor but being unable to treat these patients is really contrary to medical ethics."

Changsun Wuji quickly comforted him: "This is a natural disaster. There is no way to cure it in the past and present. This is all we can do. I hope Dr. Li can come up with some novel method to end this disaster."

The two of them shook their heads helplessly as they spoke.

At the same time, from outside Chang'an City, a fast horse rushed towards Pei Ji's mansion.
