Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"Heavenly disasters, there is no escape!"

Li Chunfeng suddenly exclaimed: "Master, it's not good!"

Lying on the couch, Yuan Tiangang was awakened by his sound, half-closed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Heavenly disasters, winter plague falls in the north of Chang'an, the hexagram is very fierce!"

Li Chunfeng dragged his master to the table next to him. There was a tortoise shell and a few copper coins on it. Looking at the front and back of them, Yuan Tiangang felt sleepless for a moment.

"At the end of last year, I predicted that the weather would be good this year, but soon after the beginning of spring, there was a drought and a plague of locusts. Seeing that the year was about to pass, there was a plague at the end!"

Yuan Tiangang picked up the tortoise shell and the copper coins, muttered something, shook them for a while and fell on the table, looked at the hexagrams, and said in surprise: "Yin and yang are in conflict, and it's a big disaster!"

After all, he didn't care too much, and ran out of the Qin Tianjian, and he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he went to the Ganlu Palace.

"Your Majesty, the culprit..."

Yuan Tiangang broke in before waiting for the transmission, and hurriedly said: "The minister has obtained the hexagram, and the master is a fierce elephant. In the north of Chang'an, there will be plagues from the sky!"

Li Shimin raised his head slightly, and when he heard similar words again, he said helplessly, "Master Yuan, have you figured it out?"

Yuan Tiangang patted his heart and said: "I guarantee it with the head, it is absolutely true, not only the minister calculated it, but also the minister's apprentice Li Chunfeng, the master once said that Chunfeng is a rare Taoism, the most suitable for cultivating Taoism, and the understanding is still in the minister's eyes." Come on, you can never make a mistake!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin finally paid attention to it, but didn't trust him very much. He thought for a while and said, "Guo Dong!"

Things like plague are more serious than any drought, and it will really kill people.

Once infected with the epidemic, there is basically no way to treat it in this era, and a large number of people die.

Li Shimin didn't dare to underestimate him, so he decided to ask someone to invite his husband over so that he could figure out whether he was right or Yuan Tiangang was wrong again.

"His Majesty!"

Guo Dong happened to also come in, and said quickly: "General Cheng is asking for an audience outside the door, there is something urgent to see His Majesty!"

"pass!"

After a while, Cheng Yaojin hurried in and said out of breath, "Your Majesty, something is wrong! Sir, what did you say about a disaster from heaven, and a plague will break out in the north of Chang'an soon!"

boom!

Li Shimin's whole body was shaken, as if he had been struck by thunder, he stood up abruptly, his eyes were filled with fear and worry.

If Yuan Tiangang said so, he would be [-]% skeptical.

Now Mr. Lian also said that there will be a plague, so there is a high probability that a plague will really happen.

Mr.'s divination ability is accurate, and since they met until now, they have never made a mistake.

I'm afraid there will really be a plague.

My Great Tang, how could there be so many disasters?

Tears welled up in Yuan Tiangang's eyes instantly, thinking that I was finally right again, and I don't need to be doubted by His Majesty anymore.

"Yizhen, send people out of the city immediately to find out whether there is really a plague in the north of Chang'an!"

Li Shimin couldn't calm down, so he immediately issued an order, and at the same time summoned all the close officials in the court to the Ganlu Palace for discussion.

Cheng Yaojin left here as soon as possible and arranged for manpower to investigate. Many people will die in this matter, so we must not neglect it.

After a while, the news of the plague spread throughout the court, and Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and others all gathered in the Ganlu Hall.

Now the Temple of Ganlu is so quiet that a needle can be heard, and everyone is waiting for Cheng Yaojin's investigation results. If there is a plague, it will definitely not break out on the first day, and how many people will die.

Some of them have heard that fever symptoms appeared on a large scale outside the city, and then they corresponded to the plague, I am afraid that it is true.

I don't know how long the time passed, Cheng Yaojin who went to investigate finally came back.

"Your Majesty, really... the plague is real!"

"In many villages in the north of Chang'an, patients with fever and fainting appeared one after another. Some patients with serious conditions even had rashes and pustules on their bodies."

"It is said that it broke out suddenly in the past three or four days, without warning, and it spread super fast. According to some medical workers, it seems to be smallpox!"

smallpox!

They were shocked.

For smallpox, with the medical level of this era, it is absolutely helpless. It is highly contagious and will cause large-scale deaths.

The fatality rate of smallpox is as high as 20% within fifteen to 30.00 days after infection of unimmunized people, and the mortality rate of unvaccinated hemorrhagic smallpox is as high as 90.00%.

Even in later generations, there is no definite and effective treatment for smallpox. Strict isolation measures can only be adopted until recovery. As long as you can survive, you can be immune to smallpox for life.

Li Shimin's face was even paler. Within a year, droughts, locust plagues, and earth dragons broke out continuously. Seeing that the first year of Zhenguan was about to pass, this smallpox suddenly occurred.

He couldn't help thinking in his heart, could it be that if I killed my brother and imprisoned my father, I really don't deserve to be the emperor.

This is God's punishment for all the people of Tang Dynasty, and also for him as the emperor!

His heart was cold and cold.

"Your Majesty, Sun Zhenren is still in Chang'an, maybe there is a way."

Changsun Wuji's words woke up Li Shimin from his self-blame.

"Quickly tell Sun Zhenren to enter the palace!"

Li Shimin said loudly: "Immediately follow the method of controlling the plague in the past, gather all the patients infected with the plague, and summon all the guards of Chang'an Nanya into the city..."

A series of government orders were quickly conveyed with the Ganlu Hall as the center.

In ancient times, in order to control the plague, in addition to letting doctors at the level of the king of medicine take action, the army had to be used to suppress all turmoil, force ordinary people to isolate, and even control sick patients.

That afternoon, the news of the outbreak of the plague spread almost all over Chang'an, and soon everyone in Gyeonggi-do knew about it.

To the ancients, the plague was like a flood and a beast, making people panic.

Wannian County.

Li Yi'an flicked his wrist, which was sore from writing for a long time. On his desktop, he wrote all kinds of ways to prevent the epidemic.

Before time travel, Li Yi'an's era happened to experience a global infectious disease. These prevention and isolation experiences were all copied from the methods of later generations.

With the ancient medical level, if the plague is not effectively controlled, it will not be a problem to wipe out a city.

"Husband, rumors have begun outside that a plague is about to break out."

Li Changge walked in and said worriedly.

"In the past few days, try not to go out if you have nothing to do. We have prepared enough food at home, and it will not be a problem even if we close the door and don't go out for a month or two."

Li Yian took her hand and said softly: "This plague came too suddenly. Before it was discovered today, it had been circulating outside for three or four days. The scope of the spread is unimaginable. As long as there are people in the epidemic area, Wannian County is in danger. .”

Hearing what he said, Li Changge was even more worried. He wondered if the news would come from Wannian County. They were still hanging out yesterday, and now they feel dangerous even thinking about it.

"Sir, there is news!"

Ma Zhou ran in and said, "Smallpox, the plague in the north is smallpox!"

"What did you say, smallpox?"

Li Yi'an asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's smallpox!"

It's okay if it's smallpox!

If it's other plagues, Li Yi'an doesn't have many ways to control it yet, but if it's smallpox, he knows one of the most effective preventive methods, which is vaccinia.

"Ma Zhou, take these back to His Majesty, and print them into a book as soon as possible to publicize them throughout the city."

Li Yi'an gave Ma Zhou the anti-epidemic measures he had written, and said, "Also, tell Your Majesty that I have a way to prevent Tianhua. As long as I can control all the infected patients, I can guarantee that no matter the smallpox virus No matter how much it spreads, there won't be any new smallpox patients."
