Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 505 Turn the tide
The palace, the imperial study.

The cold wind was blowing outside, and Li Shimin's expression was a little dignified.

The rest of the officials stood aside, silent.

Today's massacre, I don't know what kind of consequences it will bring to this Great Tang, maybe it is good, maybe it is bad, but for Li Shimin, it is absolutely impossible to be good.

And as an emperor, he had to do the same.

Everyone's heart is a little uneasy.

They have also killed the enemy on the battlefield, and they have been able to swing their knives ruthlessly in the face of the enemy, but in the face of the people of Datang, they really can't do it in their hearts.

Quiet, quiet, the Imperial Study Room is surprisingly quiet.

And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then the door of the imperial study opened with a creak, and Su Dingfang hurried in from outside.

Seeing Su Dingfang, everyone suddenly became even more nervous.

"How is it? Have those people been killed? How did the people react?" Changsun Wuji asked first.

Su Dingfang was a little annoyed, and said: "What to kill, I was stopped by someone."

"What, who is so bold to stop you?" Li Shimin frowned. He was a little annoyed that someone dared to stop him after his order had been issued, but he felt a little rejoiced in his heart, hoping for a miracle to happen.

"My lord, it's that Cheng Yaojin. He went to the Alley of the Dead just after he came back from Luoyang, and he surrounded the last general to prevent him from killing those smallpox patients. My lord, this Cheng Yaojin is too disrespectful to you. Put it in your eyes."

When they heard the word Cheng Yaojin, everyone was stunned for a moment, but then suddenly realized that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Tian had returned.

And a reckless man like Cheng Yaojin would never do such a thing, so the only possibility is that Qin Tian asked him to do it.

Li Shimin's expression was greatly moved, and he suddenly came out from behind the case, and said excitedly: "Why did you forget about Qin Tian, ​​he must have a way, he must have a way, come here, and put him on Dead Man's Lane."

Hearing that Li Shimin was going to the Alley of the Dead, everyone's expressions became tense. Su Dingfang was even more suspicious, and quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, the Alley of the Dead is too dangerous. How can you go?"

However, Li Shimin didn't listen to Su Dingfang's words, and rushed to the Alley of the Dead with the others. Seeing this, Su Dingfang gritted his teeth secretly, but there was nothing he could do.

The wind in Chang'an is still raging, and it hurts when it blows on people's faces.

The Alley of the Dead is very noisy, the people are still clamoring to burn the smallpox patients to death, Cheng Yaojin leads people to guard the Alley of the Dead, but he feels a little uneasy in his heart.

"Qin Tian, ​​why haven't you come yet?"

The people's emotions became more and more difficult to control. If Qin Tian didn't come, the situation would be bad.

"Burn 'em, burn 'em..."

More and more people shouted that fear sometimes allows them to overcome other fears.

Cheng Yaojin's expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but clenched the knife in his hand. However, at this moment, a guard of honor suddenly came from a distance. Seeing the guard of honor, the whole Dead Man's Alley suddenly became quiet, because even ordinary people , I also know that it is a guard of honor for the emperor.

When Cheng Yaojin saw Li Shimin coming, he became more and more uneasy, and stopped Su Dingfang from killing. Li Shimin was afraid that he would be angry, he felt that he would be killed by Qin Tian.

Letting him stop him, but not coming quickly, is really harmful.

Thinking in his heart, Cheng Yaojin hastily went up to the guard of honor.

"Chen Cheng Yaojin, pay homage to the Holy Majesty."

Sitting on the dragon chariot, Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yaojin, but he was not angry. Instead, he asked eagerly, "Where is Qin Tian, ​​does he have a way to cure smallpox?"

Before Cheng Yaojin could answer, Su Dingfang who was next to him snorted suddenly: "Your Majesty, this smallpox is an incurable disease, and Qin Tian is not a doctor, so how can he treat smallpox, and don't listen to their nonsense, if he can cure smallpox , I, Su Dingfang, kowtow three times to him..."

Just as he was talking, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Does General Su's words count?"

Qin Tian is here.

Everyone hurriedly searched for their reputation, and saw Qin Tian riding a fast horse towards this side, his voice fell, he had already stopped beside the dragon chariot.

"My minister, Qin Tian, ​​pays homage to His Majesty, Your Majesty, this smallpox disease can be cured by you."

After saying this, Li Shimin immediately got off the dragon chariot, and asked excitedly, "Can it really be cured?"

"Of course, how dare I deceive the Holy Majesty."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and treat it."

"No hurry, I still want to know what Su Dingfang said just now counts."

"Of course it counts. As long as you can cure this disease, even if you let him kowtow a hundred heads, I will accept you." Before Su Dingfang could speak, Li Shimin agreed for him first. Su Dingfang curled his lips and groaned inwardly.

However, he felt that smallpox was an incurable disease, how could Qin Tian cure it?

Qin Tian got Li Shimin's promise, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered someone to fetch the cowpox and inoculate those smallpox patients. Qin Tian's treatment method made people feel very strange.

Because generally speaking, if you want to cure a disease, you take medicine or acupuncture. What Qin Tian does is also like acupuncture, but it's just a prick on the arm. It really can't be called acupuncture.

Moreover, the incurable disease in smallpox can be cured by just pricking it like this?
There were many smallpox patients in Dead Man's Lane, and it was already dusk when Qin Tian finished doing this.

It is very simple to tie it, but it also makes him very tired at this time.

When he came out of Dead Man's Alley, his forehead was already dripping with sweat. Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin were waiting outside. Seeing that Qin Tian had come out, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qin Tian, ​​when will their illnesses recover?"

"It will take two or three days to get better, and it may take six or seven days to recover. However, my lord, if the smallpox is rampant, the best way to curb the spread of smallpox is to have all the people vaccinated. Everyone gets a prick in their arm so they never have to worry about getting smallpox."

Inoculation with vaccinia is similar to vaccination in later generations. It is a good preventive method. After hearing this, Li Shimin hesitated.

Well done, it's a bit unacceptable to be inoculated with vaccinia. Usually people only see a doctor when they are sick. Why should they see a doctor if they are not sick?

"Qin Aiqing, after vaccination with cowpox, is there any adverse reaction?"

"There will be a little discomfort at the beginning, but it is very short. After the discomfort passes, even if the vaccination is successful, there is no need to worry about smallpox in the future."

Hearing that there would be a little discomfort, Li Shimin didn't want to get vaccinated anymore, but he didn't refuse, and said, "Listen to Qin Aiqing, anyone who wants to get vaccinated can get vaccinated, and if they don't want to get vaccinated, it's fine. After all, smallpox doesn't happen in a hundred years."

Li Shimin picked himself out, and when other people saw this, they were naturally not very happy to be vaccinated.
