The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In the study room of the Han Palace, Xiao Jin and Lai Qian were chattering and reporting the news they heard to Zhao Yao.

Xiaojin and the others had been away from the Marsh Mansion for a long time. These days, they heard a lot of things in the capital.

Zhao Yao looked gloomy and unclear after listening to Xiaojin and the others.

Xiao Jin and the others sensed that Zhao Yao was unhappy, tilted their little heads, and asked with concern: [Yao Yao, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy? 】

Zhao Yao reached out and touched Xiaojin's little heads, and said to them warmly: "I'm fine, I just didn't expect the situation in the capital to be so complicated." The current situation in the capital was within his expectation, but he didn't expect that he would Being calculated.

The money came and rubbed Zhao Yao's face, [Yao Yao, you are not in the capital, don't be afraid! 】

Xiaojin: [I will protect you! 】

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "As long as you protect me, I will be fine."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Xiao Jin and Lai Qian were very proud.

[That is, we will definitely protect you and not let you be bullied. 】

Zhao Yao patted their backs gently and asked them to go out and play.

Xiao Jin and Lai Qian waved their wings and flew out to play with their friends.

Zhao Yao walked to the window and looked at the moon in the night sky in the distance. A sneer gradually appeared on his face. If he plotted against him, he would follow it.

Knock, knock, knock... Tongxi's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, Tong'an and Dingshan are back."

Zhao Yao came back to his senses, put away the coldness in his eyes, and showed his usual smile again.

"Let them in."

Tongxi walked in with Tongan and the others.

"See Your Highness."

Zhao Yao stepped forward and reached out to help Tongan and Dingshan.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After standing up, Tongan's eyes were red, while Dingshan looked at Zhao Yao with a silly smile.

Today, Dingshan looks like a mountain, and his face is full of flesh, but his expression is simple and honest, and the fierceness in him immediately disappears. If he didn't smile and keep a straight face, he would look very menacing and scary.

"It seems that your trip went well." Tong'an and Dingshan have been traveling around Lingnan since a few years ago. Every year, Tongan would draw a map and submit it to Zhao Yao. Now Tong'an has drawn seven or eight maps of Lingnan Prefecture for Zhao Yao.

"Thanks to His Highness, the two of you can have a safe journey." After Tong'an finished speaking, he asked Dingshan to pass a long and thin wooden box behind him to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao took the wooden box and did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he asked them about their journey with concern.

Tongxi brought tea and snacks. Desserts are prepared for the given mountain.

Tongan first told Zhao Yao roughly what happened along the way, and then he handed Zhao Yao his "notebook" that recorded what he saw and heard along the way.

The "Notepad" was given by Zhao Yao to Tongan, asking him to write down the interesting things he saw and heard while traveling. Of course, you can also write down the injustices you encounter along the way.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Yao asked Tongan and the others to go back and rest first, and they would discuss the rest tomorrow.

After waiting for An and the others to leave, Zhao Yao took out the map from the wooden box. This is the map of Qinzhou.

Of the twelve Lingnan states, there are still four state capitals left undrawn on the map.

After Tongxi sent Tongan and the others away, he returned to Zhao Yao and looked at the map with them.

"Your Highness, Tong'an is so amazing. This map is so well drawn and detailed."

Mountains, waters, cities, etc. are drawn in detail on the map.

"Your Highness, you are still very powerful. You discovered Tongan's ability early."

"Your Highness, I have a sharp eye." Zhao Yao glanced at the map of Qinzhou and had a certain understanding of Qinzhou's terrain.

Tongxi saw Zhao Yao tapping the map of Qinzhou with his fingers, and his face became strange: "Your Highness, you are not going to kill the officials of Qinzhou next, are you?"

"What does killing mean? Your Highness, I am not a murderer." Zhao Yao carefully put away the Qinzhou map and glared at Tongxi angrily, "What I mean is to deal with them according to the law."

"Your Highness, you dealt with them in accordance with the law, but there is no official who was there." Tongxi reminded Zhao Yao, "Don't forget, the ministers of the DPRK scolded you for killing people, so you should restrain yourself."

"I kill all the heinous officials." Zhao Yao didn't take it to heart at all that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government participated in the incident, "These officials killed the people of Lingnan, why didn't the boring ministers of the DPRK help the people of Lingnan to seek justice? Why aren't they Lingnan officials who kill like crazy? Why do they only allow officials to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but don't allow me to deal with them in accordance with the law?"

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense, but you killed too many people at once. Can't you just chop off the heads of those officials little by little?"

"Leave them to waste food?" Zhao Yao snorted coldly, "Instead of giving food to those corrupt officials, it is better to give it to the common people."

Tong Xi was speechless by Zhao Yao and could only say: "Yes, yes, everything you said is right."

"Besides, I also killed the chicken to scare the monkey, and now the effect has been half achieved." Zhao Yao did not intend to kill all the officials in the twelve Lingnan prefectures. If everything is cut down, there will be no officials to manage it. "I am now waiting for officials from other state capitals to come to me to plead guilty. If they come to me and surrender, I will not kill them all."

"They have committed so many crimes, and every crime requires beheading. Do they really dare to come to you and surrender?"

"If you don't come to me and surrender, you will be dead. But if you come to me and surrender, there may be a chance of survival." Zhao Yao raised his feet on the desk, clasped his hands behind his head, and said with a casual expression, "The smart ones will come. Come to me, if you are not smart then be stupid."

"My slave, look at Xuan."

"There are still too few talents." Zhao Yao sighed faintly, "I asked my father to send some officials to Lingnan. My father said that no one was willing to come to my place. He also said that I would find a way to make the officials willing to come. Come and be an official here."

"Then no one will want to come."

"When I return to the capital, I will try to trick some people into coming to Lingnan." Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of calculation flashing in his eyes, "At that time, I can trick those candidates into coming to Lingnan to become officials, and trick some scholars and candidates into coming to Lingnan."

"Your Highness, you may be able to deceive the scholar, but I'm afraid you won't be able to deceive the scholar." Juren masters can serve as officials in the interior, and they will not go to remote places to become officials. "When they come, I will give them official positions." Zhao Yao thinks his idea is good. "If they continue to stay in the interior to take the imperial examination, they don't know when they will be able to pass the imperial examination, and they don't know if they can become officials in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. It's different here. I can become an official right away. If they do well in their official positions, I will give them rewards, and then they will have the opportunity to be transferred back to the interior in the future." The more I talked about it, the more feasible it became.

"I will write to Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother now, and they will help me trick some people into coming here first."

"Your Highness, isn't the imperial examination taking place in the mainland at this time?"

"The children's examination has ended. Many people must have failed and will not have the chance to participate in the next provincial examination." Zhao Yao chuckled sinisterly, "At this time, if we give them the opportunity to become officials, do you think they will be interested?"

Tongxi: "Your Highness, you smile so treacherously."

"I call this a strategy."

"But, Your Highness, not everyone can be an official."

"It's okay, some people can't be officials, but they can do other things, such as teaching." Zhao Yao smiled very slyly, "Besides, if they come to my place, they can still take the imperial examination. Not many people in Lingnan take the exam. The imperial examination is much easier for them here than in the mainland. Do you think they are interested or not?"

"This is so exciting." His Highness is so calculating.

"Besides, you can also take the National Examination and the Palace Examination here. However, if you pass the Gongyuan and Zhuangyuan exams, the court will not recognize it, but I admit it. If they pass the Jinshi exam, they can hold important positions here." The prince's fiefdom, The prince could hold imperial examinations in his fiefdom to select talents for his small court.

"Your Highness, if you do this, many people will come to Lingnan."

"Hurry up and sharpen the ink for me."

"Slave, come right now."

Zhao Yao wrote letters to the King of Chu and the King of Wei respectively. He believed that with the abilities of Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother, he would be able to trick many people into coming to Lingnan.

At this time, the emperor who was far away in the capital received a memorial from Zhao Yao from the Dragon Guard.

This memorial written by Zhao Yao is about vaccination with cowpox to prevent smallpox.

After the emperor read it, he was very excited. When he got up, he accidentally bumped into the table in front of him, causing ink to be everywhere on the couch. Ink splattered on him too.

"Sun Kui."

When Sun Kui heard the emperor calling him, he hurriedly walked in: "My servant is here."

"Go and call me the imperial doctor." The emperor continued, "Just call the imperial doctor Lu."

Sun Kui thought the emperor was not feeling well and hurried to the Imperial Hospital. As it turned out that Imperial Physician Lu was not on duty tonight, he asked Sun Doudou to come out of the palace and call Mrs. Lu to the palace.

Doctor Lu had not yet fallen asleep. When he heard the emperor summoning him urgently, he thought the emperor was suffering from some serious illness and hurriedly followed Sun Doudou into the palace.

As soon as the emperor saw Imperial Physician Lu, he showed him Zhao Yao's memorial and the detailed process of vaccination with cowpox written by Doctor Tong.

After reading it, Imperial Physician Lu looked shocked and stammered: "Your Majesty...this...is this true?"

"Really, Xiao Shi has sent the vaccinia doctors back to Beijing, and they will teach you how to vaccinate them."

"It's great, it's really great..." Doctor Lu was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he could only keep saying "ok".

The emperor said with a smile on his face: "This brat did another great thing this time."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Han has done this..." Dr. Lu said, his eyes were red, and he choked with tears, "Your Highness the King of Han has saved the lives of the people in the world. This is... this is... the King of Han." Your Highness is the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva... I thank His Highness the King of Han on behalf of the people of the world." Smallpox has been a terminal disease since ancient times, and countless people die from it every year. From ancient times to the present, doctors have racked their brains but have no way to prevent smallpox. Now His Highness the King of Han is using the method of vaccination to prevent smallpox. This... this... is the Living Bodhisattva.

"He is my son, not some living Bodhisattva." The emperor said with a smile, "In a while, the doctor sent by the King of Han will arrive in the capital. During this time, your Imperial Hospital will be well prepared."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Doctor Tong has written a memorial for cowpox vaccination. You can take it back and study it carefully."

Doctor Lu looked grateful: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you can go back now."

"Your Majesty, I kindly ask you to stay in the Imperial Hospital tonight." Imperial Physician Lu is still in the mood to sleep. He wanted to study this memorial for vaccination immediately.

"Go ahead then."

"I beg you to leave." Dr. Lu just walked to the door and suddenly thought about where he got the children vaccinated with cowpox. He went back and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this child vaccinated with cowpox..."

"There should be children between the ages of six and fourteen in Yeyouting."

Sun Kui on the side said: "Your Majesty, the children of Yeyouting have been let out a long time ago." When the late emperor and the emperor came to the throne, they both gave amnesty to the world, and those who made mistakes in Yeyouting and their children were let out.

"Is there anyone on death row?"

"Your Majesty, you said before that the children were innocent and then let them go."

emperor:"……"

Doctor Lu thought of the children at home and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I can let the children of my family be vaccinated with cowpox first, or I can let the children of other doctors be vaccinated."

"Okay, let your children plant it first."

Dr. Lu resigned and went to Tai Hospital. The emperor was happy and in no mood to continue reviewing the memorials. He ran to Kunde Hall to find Liang Concubine and told her about the matter. After hearing this, Liang Bin was naturally very happy and excited.

The next day, as soon as the emperor went to court, he asked Sun Kui to read Zhao Yao's memorial in front of all the civil and military officials.

After listening to Sun Kui's recitation, all the ministers in the court had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Although the ministers were not imperial doctors, they knew what smallpox was. No matter who it is, the color changes when talking about smallpox. Many of the ministers' relatives or children died of smallpox.

He Xiang: "Your Majesty, can vaccination with cowpox really prevent smallpox?"

"It's absolutely true, the King of Han has already conducted experiments." The emperor couldn't hide his proud look. "The King of Han has been conducting experiments. Now, as long as healthy children are vaccinated with cowpox, they can be successfully vaccinated. All children who have been vaccinated with cowpox, You will almost never get smallpox in the future.”

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said: "!!!!!!" (End of this chapter)
