Don't be a prince

Although the court's methods are cruel, they are at least the best way.You also know how terrifying this disease is. Could it be that you believe Daozhang Sun can cure it? "

"That's Daoist Sun!"

"Daozhang Sun is also a human being. This disease is more like a punishment from heaven to the world. Didn't someone say it at the beginning? The village where the disease occurred once soaked a woman who did not obey women's morals in a pig cage... "

Just as the two businessmen were talking shoulder to shoulder, another person sat down on their table.

The two looked over in surprise, only to see that this person was the shopkeeper of this tea shop.Because they are acquaintances of each other, there is nothing to avoid.

"Busy working?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I'm done with my work, I can rest for a while now. I just heard what you said, and there is one thing that you may not know."

"whats the matter?"

The two merchants looked at the shopkeeper expectantly. Compared with the shopkeeper, the two of them were far behind in terms of being well-informed.

The shopkeeper lay down on the table, and the two followed suit, putting their heads together.

"Do you know about His Majesty's sacrifice to heaven a few days ago?"

"I know, after all it's so fanfare, Quan Chang'an knows about it."

"Hehe, the two of you travel all over the place, unlike me who has lived in Chang'an for a long time and knows the rules of Chang'an. Let me tell you, the emperor's sacrifice to the heaven is usually a fixed one. Our Tang Dynasty is usually in winter. In addition, it is It is time to pray for grain, usually before spring plowing.

Last year, His Majesty already offered sacrifices to the heavens, and now it is not time to pray for the valley, so why do you have to sacrifice to the heavens?And it was so grand, even surpassing last year's sacrifice ceremony.You know, last year's ceremony included praying for the Supreme Emperor.

A ceremony that even exceeds the ceremony of praying for the Supreme Emperor, you savor it, you savor it carefully...."

After looking at each other for a while, the two businessmen nodded their heads.What the shopkeeper said is right, this matter can only be tasted, guessing it is not good.

Who would have thought that the emperor would actually be involved in this matter.In this way, perhaps, it is really possible for the sore to be cured?

As an undercurrent beyond the Eight Rivers in Chang'an City, Baiqisi is naturally extremely strong in guiding people's hearts.The same thing doesn't just happen in teahouses.However, everyone chose to keep their mouths shut.It's good to know, it's a good thing that someone challenges Lu Suo.Everyone knows how difficult this challenge is, and it is not uncommon to lose.

The face of the emperor and Daoist Sun still needs to be given. You can't blame the old man after Daoist Sun failed!

So, even though almost everyone knew about it, no one made it public.Everyone is waiting, waiting for the news of success or failure to come out.

Just when Chang'an City was shrouded in warm shadows, a major event also ushered in the farm.

Cows with vaccinia were easy to find. Before the caravan reached the grassland, they found one at the farm.And what's funny is that Geng Buqu raised this cow himself, and even milked it himself and cooked it for drinking.

Geng Buqu, who is over 80 this year, looks like a skeleton.Out of professional habits, Sun Simiao took his pulse and found that his pulse was very stable. Although it looked like he was going to die at any moment, within three to five years, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Old Geng, when you raised this cow for milking, did you ever get herpes?"

Hearing the crown prince's question, Geng Buqu nodded and said: "It started. At the beginning, the fever lasted for half a month. The old servant thought it was typhoid fever, and took some medicines, but it didn't work. After a month, he recovered. So, the old slave didn't take this matter to heart."

The emergence of existing cases made Sun Simiao's eyes brighten.Since Geng Buqu is in his 80s and can recover from his illness smoothly, if he is young and mature, the possibility of success is even greater.

There is only one cow, and there are not many cowpox, so the number of people doing experiments is limited.

There were more than 300 Taoist priests who followed Sun Simiao. Needless to say, although these people were expressionless, they were still terrifying.

Gritting his teeth, Sun Simiao handed the small blade to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness, let the old man try it first!"

Li Chengqian took the knife and nodded.

Alcohol was used to disinfect the udder of the cow, and then Sun Simiao's arm was also disinfected.After thinking about it again and again, Li Chengqian still chose the upper arm as the vaccination site.Vaccines for future generations are all administered here, so there should be some reason.Besides, the scar left on the upper arm will not be exposed easily, will it?

Picking out the vaccinia, dipped some of the thick paste inside with a cotton swab. Immediately, Li Chengqian stood beside Sun Simiao with a cotton swab in one hand and a small knife in the other.

Fortunately, Sun Simiao's firm eyes gave him confidence, he cut a small opening on Sun Simiao's arm without hesitation, smeared it with a cotton swab, and then quickly wrapped it up with gauze.

Seeing that Daoist Sun took the lead to do it first, the Taoist priests were no longer worried, and asked to follow suit.

However, Li Chengqian still refused.There are three other cases of vaccinia, and these four can only be used for pilot experiments. It is best to do big data together to make comparisons easier.

Sun Simiao was the first, and Li Chengqian himself was the second.

Sun Simiao reluctantly let go and allowed him to operate on himself because of the precedent of being unrepentant.

The third is Zhang Yun, and the fourth is Sky-Changing Monkey.

Four people, including young, middle-aged and old, can also be counted as a group of experiments.

The leader of the Xuanjia Army was a man surnamed Zhang. After calling him, Li Chengqian gave the order instead of Sun Simiao.

"The surrounding area of ​​the farm is completely sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter. If you encounter someone who looks like a spy, you will be arrested immediately. Within a month, the east side of the farm can only be used by the four of us. Except for those who deliver food and water, no one Don't come here!"

General Zhang nodded, and immediately ordered someone to deliver the order.

The four of them walked towards the room area on the east side together, and Sun Simiao smiled wryly, "Why bother, His Royal Highness? How can you personally participate in it?"

Li Chengqian laughed and said as he walked, "Just think of me as being the first to reap the benefits. I found such a cow with vaccinia around Chang'an. Do the experiment first to obtain immunity. Besides, let you do the experiment alone, you Do you want to stay in isolation alone? I'm not afraid of getting bored, no, it's not bad for the four of us to be together."

Although Li Chengqian said so, Sun Simiao knew that the crown prince also made him feel at ease.Although moved, he still chose to keep his mouth shut and said nothing more.

For the next time, the four of them lived in the empty housing area in the east of the farm.After the emperor learned that the prince also participated in the experiment, he came to reprimand him, but it was just a reprimand.

What can four people do together?That is naturally Mahjong.

To Li Chengqian's surprise, although Sun Simiao was unfamiliar with playing mahjong, he was a little tricky. He won more games by keeping the word "steady".

After playing mahjong for six days, on the seventh day, Zhang Yun first started to have a fever, and his forehead was a little hot, but after rubbing his body with alcohol to cool down, he didn't have much reaction.On the place where he was inoculated with vaccinia on his arm, vaccinia vesicles appeared, and even spread to his chin.

On the ninth day, it was Sun Simiao who became ill.

No. On the 12th day, Li Chengqian and Changtianhou developed symptoms on the same day.

No.20 In five days....

Sitting at the desk, the four of them discussed their illness together, and then handed it over to Sun Simiao for sorting out.

"Currently, the latest onset is No. 12 days, and the earliest is the sixth day. The onset is thick, and I have symptoms such as irritability, headache, sore throat, sore limbs, chills, vomiting, and diarrhea. I am conscious, but When sleeping at night, there will be convulsions and heart palpitations, are you the same?"

The three of Li Chengqian nodded, so Sun Simiao immediately recorded it on paper.

After writing this paragraph, he asked again: "When did your rash stop growing?"

Li Chengqian said: "The next day, from the second night onwards, nothing came out again. I only got out around my arms and hands."

Sky-Changing Monkey said: "I am the same as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhang Yun said with a wry smile: "I had a rash for four days, and it didn't come out until the fourth night. And it's different from the two of them. Not only did my hands and feet swell, but even the top of my head a lot. On the face too."

Sun Simiao nodded and said, "So, the current rash lasts for two to four days. Are you the same as the old man, and the chest, stomach and back haven't come out?"

All three nodded.

Sun Simiao also recorded the time and location of the rash on the paper.

After some discussion, the first data was summarized.

Among them, according to the data, it can be seen that Li Chengqian and Changtianhou have the best bodies, followed by Sun Simiao, and the last is Zhang Yun, who has almost taken up all the unlucky things.

Although Sun Simiao really wanted to say that it might have something to do with the lack of an object, but considering Zhang Yun's mood, he recorded it as "people with poor health are prone to early onset, severe illness, and late recovery."

After writing the record, Sun Simiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was a disease similar to Lushang, so he never thought that he would be able to get over it safely.

It now appears that before the start of the experiment, the prince made a very correct decision to exclude children under the age of 15 and the elderly over the age of 65.

Perhaps the complications of cowpox are nothing to young and middle-aged people, and they can even endure the pain of acne and play mahjong while talking and laughing.However, if it is an old man or a child, it may be life-threatening instead!

Chapter 475 Transfer Contradictions

Li Chengqian was also afraid for a while. Some things, if he only knows one-sidedly, it is easy to have various problems.This is the case with cowpox. Who knew that the reaction would be so great after vaccination?

Because of personal experience, according to Li Chengqian's own estimation, the temperature during high fever was 39 or even [-] degrees.Adults can still carry it, but children are prone to problems when they get burned.

Originally, he planned to vaccinate his three precious children immediately after the experiment was over, but after experiencing it himself, he couldn't help feeling afraid for a while.Fortunately, I, the father, tried it first. Now it seems that I have to wait for them to grow up.

Because the time of onset is different, the course of the disease is different for everyone.Like Li Chengqian and Changtian Monkey, they had to wait for a full month and more than ten days before they could fully recover.

Although Zhang Yun had an early onset, his wounds were the first to heal.

There are some acne rashes, although the acne scars are left, but they don't look very obvious. Compared with the scars of Lupus, I don't know how many times better.What's more, such acne scars will generally disappear when the skin tone is evenly tanned, or as time goes by.In the end, if you don't distinguish carefully, you won't be able to find it.

The one-month schedule was postponed to one and a half months, and when the time came, when people outside the quarantine area were guessing what happened to the four, Li Chengqian, Sun Simiao, Zhang Yun, and Chang Tianhou walked out as if nothing had happened. .

Yuan Tiangang also came today, and he was relieved to see that the crown prince and Sun Simiao were safe and sound.As for Zhang Yun and Changtian Monkey, they were directly ignored by him.

In this experiment, no matter which one of the previous two had problems, they could not bear it.

But now it seems that the bigger the bet, the bigger the reward. Four people went in and four people came out, and none of them had any problems. With such a high success rate, it seems that this experiment will be successful in all likelihood.

Going forward quickly, Yuan Tiangang cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince and Daoist Sun, it seems that your experiment has succeeded!"

Li Chengqian did not answer, but let Sun Simiao out.

An embarrassing look at Li Chengqian, Sun Simiao replied to Yuan Tiangang: "Not yet, and the experiment is only half done now. What really needs to face the test is Lupus. However, there are no Lupus patients found near Chang'an. Halfway through the experiment, we have to continue!"

During isolation and observation, Li Chengqian explained the matter clearly to Sun Simiao.In any case, all the results of this experiment can only be claimed by Sun Simiao.Even if Li Chengqian, the crown prince, is also named, the common people will only think that this is the benefactor.Maybe even suspect that the prince is here to share the credit.

After all, who would have thought that a prince would know how to deal with Lushuang?

However, for Sun Simiao, his behavior is almost the same as stealing his name.

Yuan Tiangang didn't notice Sun Simiao's weird look, and looked back at the volunteers selected by his Taoist sect, nodded and said: "That's natural, that's natural, Daoist Sun will do as he ordered, and the Taoist sect will definitely support it."

After saluting and saying goodbye, Yuan Tiangang walked up to Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness, Daomen has hired more than a hundred caravans to help you find sick cows. In addition, your farm has not been able to operate normally during this period, and you must have lost a lot of money. Why don't you just How about letting Daomen bear this loss?"

Li Chengqian looked at Yuan Tiangang strangely and said: "Your old Yuan is usually okay, but in this extraordinary period, you will never see a rabbit or scatter an eagle. Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has already said that. In fact, Pindao's requirements are very simple. Now that the college has established the School of History, the School of Astronomy, and the School of Engineering, Pindao wondered if he could... "

Li Chengqian refused without hesitation: "Rolling the ball, don't even think about it. You expect Lao Tzu's teaching and educating academy to teach you a bunch of magic sticks? You can pull it down, old Yuan, this matter is not negotiable." , you mention it again, don't blame Gu for turning his face!"

Yuan Tiangang didn't expect the prince to speak so terribly, so he could only turn around and leave resentfully.

Looking at the back of Yuan Tiangang leaving, Li Chengqian sighed.Pushing the nose to the face is what this behavior is about.When people are doing things, they often have to make quick decisions and procrastinate, which only makes them feel uncomfortable.

Like Yuan Tiangang, it doesn't matter if you use it for short-term cooperation, if you let him hit a snake with a stick, he will directly become a tarsal maggot.

Although he was quarantined during this period, he was able to see the intelligence of Geng Buqu, the dark guard Baiqisi, who delivered food, water and supplies, who had acquired immunity to cowpox.

After the special period of "Nian", coupled with the unintentional fire by the eldest grandson, Buddhism and Taoism once again clashed.When the conflict is the most obvious, there will even be people from both sides going to fight each other.

Once a conflict occurs, the underlying collision cannot be easily controlled by the helmsman.A small flame of anger may be generated by a Taoist priest or a monk, but it will inevitably spread to one's own people, and even cross the border to ignite the anger of the opposite party.

The county magistrate of Chang'an is going to be bald during this period of time. In Chang'an City, there have been fights between monks and Taoist priests in many places.Obviously, both sides broke their heads, but when the police asked quickly, they both said that it was not their own fault, and of course, it was not the other party's fault either.

After apologizing to each other seemingly amicably, maybe the fight will start again as soon as the police leave.

Things have progressed to this point, which has exceeded expectations.

Sitting in his own small room on the farm, Li Chengqian knocked on the window beside him.

Not long after, Geng Buqu came over and knelt down on one knee.

Looking at Geng Buqu's neat movements, Li Chengqian also thought that when he reached this age, he would also have such a body.

"Get up, there is no subordinate here, so you don't have to respect Gu."

Geng Buqu stood up and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is still as kind as ever to my servants. But Your Highness, although the people in our Alliance of Lowly People are miserable, there are some people with evil intentions among them. When necessary, you can still Just be more dignified."

Pointing to the chair beside him, signaling Geng Buqu to sit down, Li Chengqian said: "Gu knows this, of course. I called you here because I have something to do for the dark guard and Baiqisi."

"Your Highness, just give orders."

"Remember those barbarian slaves that I asked you to buy back then."

"Remember, Your Highness means..."

"It seems that you still remember Gu's plan. It's time to implement this plan. Although it's too late in the overall situation, Gu feels that when Xuanzang and Daoist Sun both come forward, the situation will become difficult to control."

Geng Buqu nodded and said: "This old slave also thinks so, besides, it's really not good to involve Sun Daochang in it."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "That's right, so Gu changed his plan and asked Xuanzang and Daoist Sun to change from oil to water for extinguishing fires. Although Buddhism and Daoist dislike each other now, third-party forces joined and wanted to become The fisherman in the snipe and clam fight will definitely be dealt with jointly by them. Nestorism, after the Buddhism and Taoism are cleaned up, the anger they have accumulated in themselves has almost dissipated. It is the most appropriate time for Sun Daochang and Xuanzang to come out again. of."

Geng Buqu stood up and clasped his hands: "Old servant understands, let's go down and make arrangements."

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile, sent Geng Buqu out, and went to the isolation area to have a look.

The caravan of the East Palace, together with the desperate support of the Daomen, found many sick cows in the inner Dao alone.Although some of them were excluded, the rest was still enough for all the Taoist priests who participated in the experiment to do the experiment.Even, more than enough.

The extra, in line with the good character of not being wasted, Li Chengqian called all the relatives over, and vaccinated all the relatives.It's not that the emperor, empress, and court didn't have invitations, but the emperor flatly refused.Their consistent style is to sit still until they really see results.

Compared with these scumbags, my wife is better. Except for Su Yuan and Xiuxiu who are still taking care of their children, Ashina Xue and Wu Mei have all completed the vaccination.
