The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 342

After leaving the gate of Chang'an City, Zhao Kuangyin was escorted back to the palace, while Liu Wei and Du Yi went directly to the government office. Now Zhuge Pi has found a lot of cowpox, and Liu Wei needs to test it on Duan Yuerong. After a while, Du Yi naturally wouldn't give up on this once-in-a-lifetime witnessing moment.

When everyone came to the government office, Liu Wei ordered someone to take the cowpox from the cow, then cut a cut on Duan Yuerong's arm, and then smeared the cowpox on it. The whole process was simple and took a short time.

After Liu Wei finished all this, Du Yi's eyes widened: "This... is this the end?"

Liu Wei shrugged: "Vaccinia vaccination is as simple as that, but whether it can be successful or not depends on the results. After vaccination, patients may experience symptoms such as physical weakness and fever, but they will recover in a few days, and this time Once you have smallpox, you will never get smallpox again."

For what Liu Wei said, Du Yi also understands a little bit. He has encountered many infectious diseases in his life, and he found that those who survived the era of infectious diseases will never get that kind of disease again in this life. infectious disease.

After doing this, the government office became the place where everyone in Chang'an City paid attention to. Whether the experiment was successful or not represented whether everyone could defeat smallpox. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to know the result, and the common people also wanted to know the result.

And while everyone was waiting, Bianjing, the capital city, had already received the news that a smallpox patient had been found in Chang'an City.

After getting the news, the officials were shocked at first, and then they became worried about Zhao Kuangyin's safety. Shen Yilun even proposed in the early court to send people to Chang'an to persuade the emperor to return to Beijing.

At this time, no one dared to object to Shen Yilun's proposal. The objection to Shen Yilun's proposal was to let Zhao Kuangyin die in Chang'an City. Such a person would definitely be scolded to death with spit.

Martial King Zhao Dezhao immediately agreed to Shen Yilun's proposal, and sent people to Chang'an City, but in his heart, an evil thought suddenly arose.

Now he, Zhao Dezhao, supervises the country, and his father, the king of Jin and the king of Wei, are all in Chang'an City. If they die of smallpox, then the throne will naturally be theirs.

He knew that it was outrageous for him to have such an idea, but he still couldn't help thinking, the struggle for power, he was about to touch the top position, and the temptation of this position was something he couldn't resist.

He has a lot of ideas, and these ideas can only be realized after he sits in that position. Whether it is a grand plan or a beautiful woman, he wants them all.

The spring breeze blows through the capital, and the capital is full of flowers and flowers at this time, and it is very lively.

After some contemplation, King Wu Zhao Dezhao told Xia He his thoughts. Xia He did not blame King Wu Zhao Dezhao after hearing this, because in Xia He's view, it is normal for people to have such desires.

However, he did not approve of Zhao Dezhao doing this.

There must be a lot of dirty ideas deep in people's hearts, but few people put them into practice, because there is a kind of binding force called morality in this world, which comes from the society and from themselves.

Regarding Xia He's objection, King Wu Zhao Dezhao didn't say anything, in fact he was also hesitating, could he really ignore his father?Judging from the situation during this period of time, his father still dotes on him very much, otherwise why would he do so much so that he can supervise the country in the capital?

Just when King Wu Zhao Dezhao thought this way, Xia He expressed her own thoughts: "The Holy Majesty will not return to Beijing. If he returns to Beijing, Chang'an City will be in chaos. The Holy Majesty will not abandon those people, nor will he take risks, so It is okay for the prince to go and persuade the sage to return to the capital, but there is no need to worry too much about the sage's return to the capital."

It turned out that Xia He did not have many objections to the idea of ​​Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao, she just analyzed from the actual situation, the sage Zhao Kuangyin would not return to Beijing, so even if Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao did nothing, things might develop in the way they imagined.

"What the prince should do most now is to cultivate our influence. Now that the achievements of officials from all over the country have been invested in the Ministry of Officials, it is time for us to do something."

Martial King Zhao Dezhao thought for a while, and finally nodded.
-
Kaifeng House.

Su Gianjian soon found out about the Chang'an City incident, but he hadn't gotten the news that Liu Wei used vaccinia to treat and prevent smallpox.

Therefore, he worried about the safety of King Jin.

He has put his whole life on King Jin. If something happens to King Jin, he thinks his life will be over. If King Jin doesn't protect him, he believes that many forces in the capital will torture him to death immediately. .

Smallpox, hateful smallpox, Su Tong looked at his usual calm expression but now there was a hint of anger. He hated smallpox very much, and he hated smallpox, but it happened to appear in Chang'an City at this time.

How to do?
He felt he had to do something now.

Martial King Zhao Dezhao has already started to attack. If all the power is controlled by him, even if King Jin returns, he may be powerless. After Su Tong looked at him for a long time, he finally made a decision.

Regardless of whether King Jin can come back or not, he must defeat Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao now, and to defeat Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao, he needs to know that Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao has won over those people in this performance appraisal.

This is not difficult.

And just when Su Tongkan thought this way, Wei Wangfu.

After Chen Qing learned about the smallpox in Chang'an, he suddenly became excited. Things couldn't be better for him. In fact, to be honest, he didn't care about Wei Wang's life or death, as long as Liu Wei could die.

He knows the severity of smallpox. When smallpox occurs, human life is worthless, and death follows. No matter how noble your status is, you will not be spared.

As long as the smallpox in Chang'an City is not eradicated, then Liu Wei will be closer to death if he stays in Chang'an City for one day.

Chen Qing touched Kong Kong's sleeve with his hand, and said coldly: "Retribution, retribution, Liu Wei, dying under the pain of smallpox is more painful than dying under my knife?"

While saying this, Chen Qing frowned slightly: "What if Liu Wei can't be killed?"

After Chen Qing thought this way, she immediately felt that she should do something, but what could she do?

A sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Qing's mouth.

Southern Tang.

The news of the raging smallpox in the Song Dynasty spread to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Yu, the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was overjoyed after hearing it.

These days, although he has not tried his best, he has also paid more attention to the affairs of the country and appointed some virtuous ministers and generals, because he really does not want to be a prisoner anymore.

Although sometimes he couldn't help being bewitched by a few sycophants in the court and only wanted to enjoy himself, but when he thought of the situation of life and death in Bianjing City, he felt uneasy, and he urged the training of soldiers.

This morning, Li Yu looked at the officials and asked, "Smallpox happened in Chang'an of the Great Song Dynasty. What do you Ai Qing think about this?"

"My lord, Zhao Kuangyin, the son of the Great Song Dynasty, is trapped in Chang'an City at this time. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get out alive. The person who supervises the country is Zhao Dezhao, the King of Wu. He has a lot of ambition and talent. Why don't I take this opportunity to take back Huainan in one fell swoop, so that I can get out of the country?" It can confront the Song Dynasty by the Huaihe River."

"What are Zhang Aiqing's chances of winning?"

"Based on the current situation, at least seven points."

After Zhang Ding finished speaking, the officials discussed a lot, some opposed and some agreed, but in the end, under Li Yu's insistence, Southern Tang launched an attack on Song Huainan.

All this happened very quickly. When the news of Southern Tang sending troops to Great Song reached the capital, King Wu Zhao Dezhao was still thinking about how to recruit more people.

The soldiers and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty were coming in menacingly, King Wu Zhao Dezhao was a little flustered, but he still calmed himself down in the early morning court, looked at the court officials and asked: "My beloved ministers, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

"His grandma, the children of Nantang are too self-sufficient, lord, the old minister proposes to kill him and destroy Nantang."

"I also think it's good to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, and completely solve this trouble." Cao Bin stood up and expressed his point of view.

The military generals in the court ordered that the Southern Tang Dynasty be destroyed, and civil servants such as Shen Yilun hesitated for a while, thinking that it was more urgent to report the matter to the emperor, and for the time being, they only needed to send troops to resist the attack of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Martial King Zhao Dezhao was a little worried about Shen Yilun and other civil servants' proposals. If his father knew that the Southern Tang Dynasty was going to attack their Great Song Dynasty, would he rush back from Chang'an City? Can't kill him.

He wanted to oppose Shen Yilun's proposal, but Shen Yilun had a skill, that is, to make those generals agree with his point of view. Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others expressed that they should let Zhao Kuangyin know first.

These people all followed Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the world. Although Shen Yilun's proposal was not pleasant enough, it was perfectly normal for Zhao Kuangyin to know what was going on.

Therefore, the news quickly spread to Chang'an City.

The city of Chang'an was not as chaotic as others imagined. People who had smallpox were all brought together into a closed alley, and each of them was inoculated with cowpox. Although their illnesses worsened from time to time, the situation was not over yet. out of control.

When the news reached the capital, Duan Yuerong woke up, and her body improved obviously, and the erythema on her arm also gradually faded away, but she was still thin and weak.

Linger told Liu Wei that this is a symptom of a long-term poor diet, and it will be fine after a few days of rest.

This is the best news for Liu Wei. Duan Yuerong's illness is cured, which means that cowpox can really treat and prevent smallpox. He can tell Zhao Kuangyin the news, which makes Zhao Kuangyin excited.

He didn't have time to interrogate Duan Yuerong's case, so he hurried to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the palace, an eunuch hurried over from inside, saw Liu Wei, and immediately greeted him: "Lord Liu, something big happened, the Holy Majesty is upright." The old slave is looking for you, go in quickly."

Liu Wei's heart sank, wondering if Zhao Kuangyin also had smallpox?
Thinking about it this way, Liu Wei had already entered the palace, and after seeing Zhao Kuangyin, he quickly saluted and said, "What is the reason for the Holy Lord Xuanchen to come?"
