Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 269 Li Ji is very open and aboveboard

When Li Ji said a word, all the ministers in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone is willing to do this!
Ministers, to be able to discuss matters face to face with the emperor in the Palace of Manna, no matter how good the relationship these ministers usually have, how dignified they are, but if you want to talk about hypocrisy, everyone knows it, let alone a civil servant like Changsun Wuji. Even generals are no exception!
Li Ji said he was willing to go, the first thought in Zhangsun Wuji's heart was joy, but then he sighed in his heart, if he is honest and selfless, he really can't compare with Li Ji!

Fang Xuanling was also a little bit happy, and sighed in his heart. I participated in planning the change of Xuanwumen, and I contributed a lot, but the emperor compared Li Ji to the Great Wall of Tang Dynasty. I was not even a battlement, and I always refused to accept it , now it seems... I am at best a battlement!
Yu Chigong thought in his heart: "Back when the emperor had a big banquet, someone was seated above me, and I beat him blind in a fit of rage. I hate the most in my life when others line up in front of me! But you Li Ji is in front of me, I give in, you old boy is better than me!"

Cheng Zhijie stroked his beard and thought to himself: "Old Li Ji, don't think that you are better than me in everything. Hmph, I also have something better than you. I can swing an axe, can you?"

Li Shimin hummed, and said: "Okay, then you will have to work hard, Mr. Mao!"

Even if this matter is settled, everyone agrees that Li Ji will take the blame, very good, very good, very good!But everyone spoke out against him together, expressing their deep sympathy for Li Ji and their friendship as a colleague!

Changsun Wuji said: "Mr. Mao, you must know the evil of smallpox. You have had smallpox, but you have children in your family who can't live with it. What if when you come back, your clothes are accidentally contaminated with smallpox, and Wang Pingan failed to prevent it, so your family will be implicated!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Mao Gong, you are not feeling well, you can just send someone to do such things, why bother to go in person!"

Yuchi Gong felt a little ashamed, said: "Mr. Mao, why don't I go with you?"

Cheng Zhijie also said: "Mr. Mao, we are all old brothers, why don't I accompany... let Jingde accompany you!"

Li Ji cursed in his heart: "You old bastards, you are as bad as you want! Why didn't you talk just now, but waited for the emperor to say that I have worked hard for you, and after this matter was settled, you rushed to be the first I'm so busy farting, do you want to smoke me to death?"

He was very "grateful" and said: "Old brothers, I have received all of your kindness. Diagnosing smallpox is too dangerous. You have also seen that I am sick. I have lived an extra day, so I count it as an earning day." Well, let me do this matter. At least let me do something for Datang and the Emperor before I die, it is not a waste of time!"

He turned around, patted the back of Yu Chigong's hand, and said: "Thank you brother Jingde, I appreciate your kindness, our own brothers, it would be too empty to say anything else!"

Everyone nodded together, yes, it would be too hypocritical to say anything else, a little hypocrisy is enough, why bother to be too hypocritical, how embarrassing!
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Nothing else is important. The important thing is how to keep this matter a secret. At least in the next two years, the news of smallpox prevention cannot be spread to Goguryeo. I discussed it with Wuji , make good use of those envoys..."

He briefly explained the method discussed with Changsun Wuji, and he said that all the people present were smart people, needless to say in too much detail, they were all people who knew a little bit about it!

After hearing what the emperor said, all the ministers nodded their heads in agreement. This method is good. Even if the smallpox prevention is spread throughout the country, it will not spread to Goguryeo within two to three years.

The terrible thing about the smallpox disease is that many children will die young. If Datang intentionally... No, the people of Datang are good people and will never do anything against morality. Get some of them to go to Goguryeo to spread the plague, and thousands of Goguryeo's children will die young. In this way, there will be no one in Goguryeo, and the national power will be greatly damaged. It will be much easier to destroy it. !

After hearing this, Li Ji coughed heavily, spit out a big mouthful of phlegm, stood up, and said loudly: "Why is this so? The old minister dares to ask the emperor whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to identify the evil disease of smallpox?"

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Of course it is a good thing. Although there are many major events in the world, there are very few things that are better than this one!"

Li Ji said again: "In my Tang dynasty, the emperor was revered as the Khan of the Heaven by all nations. He is the co-lord of the world. No matter who is in the world, they are all the subjects of the emperor, including the Goguryeo people. Although they resist the power of the celestial dynasty , but still recognized my Tang as the suzerain in the national book, is it possible that the emperor has a new law that can prevent smallpox, so he didn't tell the Goguryeo people and let them continue to be troubled by the plague?"

This remark was quite like a "sage of the spring and Autumn period". It left the emperor and ministers in the hall speechless. What nonsense is being talked about here.Rather than talking about the truth, let's hold a special meeting to see who can yell louder!

After being silent for a while, facing Li Ji, who was confident and confident, Changsun Wuji said, "That's the way it is said, and the truth is also the same, but... the master said: Learning and practicing it from time to time, it's not easy to say. The truth of governing the world , we all know too little, so we need to think about it in the long run!"

The most difficult thing to refute in the world is the truth. Sometimes you know it is wrong and it is not practical, but as long as you stand on the starting point of "morality", even if it is wrong, it is difficult to refute it!

But Li Ji said: "Mr. Wuji's words are wrong, such an ordinary truth, do you want me to wait to read the book?" He coughed a few times and spit out a big mouthful of phlegm, then he clasped his fist at Li Shimin and said loudly : "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the old minister, after we identify the method of preventing smallpox, we should send it to Goguryeo immediately, and let them inform all Goguryeo people so that the people of the country will no longer be troubled by the evil disease of smallpox!"

All the people in the hall heyed together, thinking in their hearts: "Mr. Mao, it's hot, I'll burn you, hurry home and drink some mung bean soup!"

Cheng Zhijie couldn't listen anymore, Li Ji was usually shrewd, why did he become so confused today!He said in a loud voice: "Why should we send the things that we have worked so hard to prove to the Goguryeo people? Why do you want to take advantage of them? In fact, they won't accept your favor, but they will say that this method is not easy to use and they are deceiving them. If you don't believe me, just watch it... Hey, oh, ah!"

He slapped his thigh violently and shouted: "That's right, you have to tell them about this method early!"

The emperor and ministers in the palace suddenly realized, yes, this method should be given to the Goguryeo people early on, and it must not be kept secret from them!
For the thinking of normal people, let’s not talk about people from the Tang Dynasty, let’s talk about modern people first. If someone wins a big prize, then under normal circumstances, except for very special circumstances, this person will keep a secret, and few people will yell around and say that I I won the big prize, I got rich overnight, I have a lot of money, everyone come to my house for a drink!
Under normal circumstances, no one would do this. Even if they went to receive an award, they would wear a big mask and sunglasses!

For Datang and Goguryeo, they are not friends, but mortal enemies. The former Sui expedition to Goguryeo killed countless people, and Li Shimin personally went to the east and came back after suffering a loss.For the people of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo must be destroyed. It must be destroyed. There is no room for negotiation. Even if Goguryeo surrenders, it is still impossible.

The same is true for Goguryeo people.When good things happen, Datang will definitely not think of him, but when bad things happen, they will definitely think of him!We won't believe what you Tang people say, so just save yourself!
As for the prevention of smallpox, the more secrets were kept from Goguryeo, the more their spies would find out about this matter and report it back to the country.But on the other hand, if the Tang Dynasty sent envoys to tell Goguryeo, the result would be exactly the opposite. Even if the Goguryeo people were hung up and beaten to force them to believe this, even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe it!
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji both used normal thinking at the beginning and wanted to keep it a secret, but they didn't expect Li Ji to think with abnormal thinking, and finally came up with the correct answer all at once!

Li Shimin thought to himself: "Maogong has studied the thoughts of the Goguryeo people very thoroughly. It seems that the one who will destroy this beast in the future will undoubtedly be Maogong!"

Yu Chigong patted his thigh and shouted: "Brother, act in an upright manner. This matter is beneficial to the whole world. Why don't you tell the Goguryeo people? You must tell them!"

Changsun Wuji also nodded and said: "Yes, this matter should indeed be told to them. But the old man is afraid that they may misunderstand, gentlemen, you must know that to prevent smallpox, you must first get smallpox. When the old man just heard When we told it to the emperor, the emperor didn’t believe it either. Then we told the Goguryeo people, what if they don’t believe it?”

Fang Xuanling said enthusiastically, "Then tell them in detail, the more detailed the better!"

Everyone in the hall thought to themselves: "I'm afraid the more detailed we explain, the more they will think that we are deceiving people, and the more they will not believe us!"

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the subjects of the king. The Goguryeo people are also my people. I really have to tell them about this, I really should tell them!"

"Yes, we must tell them about this matter, and once it is confirmed, we must tell Goguryeo quickly, so that their people will be free from the evil disease of smallpox!" The ministers said together.

Li Ji just sat down and said: "Since this is the case, the prevention of smallpox should not be kept secret, it should be widely publicized, and the Shangshu province should invent a document to announce it to the world, so that the common people can cooperate and prove this method as soon as possible. !"

Li Shimin said: "That's right, let Wuji handle this matter for you!"

Changsun Wuji stood up and said loudly: "I will settle this matter well, the emperor can rest assured!"

Li Shimin stood up and said to the officials: "Three days later, I will tell the heavens at the Chengtianmen. Although the smallpox disease has the word heaven, it is not a punishment from the heavens to my Tang Dynasty. It should not be my fault in the first place." The people of the Tang Dynasty deserve to suffer. However, even if it is a punishment from the heavens, so what, people can overcome the sky, and we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, are united and vow to fight this evil disease to the end!"

"Man can conquer the sky!" All the ministers stood up together and shouted loudly!

Wang Pingan slept until noon, then woke up, washed his face, and walked out of the bedroom. Before he reached the front yard, he saw Ouyang Li running over in a panic, holding his hand in his arms. A big handful of scrolls!

Ouyang Li shouted: "Master, something is wrong. There are hundreds of scholars around the temple clamoring to see you! They said they want to invest in you, please be their confidant!"

As he said that, he shook the scroll in his hand at Wang Ping'an, and said again: "You actually gave me all the scrolls, and I insisted on asking the master to go out. No matter how hard you drive them away, they won't go!"

Wang Ping'an was taken aback, and said, "What? Seeking a confidant? Why... why did you ask for a confidant to come to me? I'm not a famous person, nor a high official..."

Before he finished speaking, he recalled that he was not a celebrity, not only a celebrity, but a famous celebrity, and why he was not a high-ranking official. As far as scholars with fame and fame are concerned, he is already quite a high official!

Ouyang Li said: "Master, do you want to go out and meet them?"

Wang Ping'an looked depressed, can I see you? If I don't go out to see him, there will be rumors about how arrogant I am, looking down on others, and disrespecting scholars!That's going to be a big trouble. Rumors are always getting more and more outrageous, and there is a possibility of directly spreading yourself as a jerk!
He bite the bullet and said: "Then go out and have a look, just ask them to go with nice words. These people are real, I have no influence on the scientific examination. Please, why not ask Qiu Tingxuan, His future father-in-law is very powerful!"

He walked out of the backyard and dawdled into the front yard. Ouyang Li followed behind with the scroll in his arms!

The front and back yards are not far away. As soon as he stepped into the front yard, he saw hundreds of scholars sitting or standing in the yard, all of them neatly dressed, wearing scribe scarves and swords, gathered in groups Together, I don't know what to talk about!
Seeing Wang Ping'an coming out, the scholars suddenly burst into an uproar, yelling, and rushed over, shouting: "Students, see Mr. Wang!" Immediately, all the scholars fell to their knees!
As if rehearsed in advance, the scholars shouted together: "Students are willing to invite the leader to review the students' poems, criticize and correct them, the students are grateful!"

Wang Pingan grinned and shouted: "Leader, what leader, when did I become a leader!" This word is a bit too big, it is really inappropriate to use it on yourself!
The scholars shouted together again: "Master Wang, you are the leader of our literary world in the Tang Dynasty. Looking at Chang'an, you are second to none!"
