Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 203 The emperor and officials take the lead

Leng Yue entered the main hall, and Chong Feng Chenghan and the two imperial doctors blessed him one after another.

Feng Chenghan looked at her with an unpredictable expression and said, "I heard from both the Imperial Envoy Lu and Doctor Lin that you have a quick mind and a lot of ideas."

"You two adults are so complimentary." Leng Luoyue nodded very humbly.

"I also think it's ridiculous." She had been his queen for five years, but he didn't even notice that she was smart.

It's whatever you say. Leng Luoyue lowered her head slightly and said nothing.

Envoy Lu looked at the emperor and then at Leng Luoyue. Seeing that neither of them spoke, he said to Leng Luoyue: "Vaccination with cowpox has been verified by us to be effective, but cowpox is a poison after all. If you want to It is not easy for the people to believe that this thing is really effective and to be willing to vaccinate. The emperor asked you to come here because he wants you to help think of ways to make the people willing to vaccinate."

Leng Luoyue listened to the envoy Lu Yuan's words and said with a smile: "If the emperor came to this slave to think of another way, I may not be able to think of it, but this is a way to make the people willing to be vaccinated with cowpox. I really have a way here."

"What's the solution?" Imperial Envoy Lu and Doctor Lin's slightly yellowed eyes lit up and they asked hurriedly.

Feng Chenghan just looked at Leng Luoyue and said nothing.He wanted to see what good ideas she could come up with.

"Then the emperor and all officials will take the lead in inoculating cowpox, and it is best to vaccinate in front of the people." Leng Luoyue said with a smile, "The emperor and all officials have been vaccinated with cowpox, so the people will not have any doubts. Even if they think that Cowpox is disgusting, so I’ll get vaccinated as well.”

The Emperor is the most noble person in the world, the True Dragon Emperor, and the most respected person in the Nine-Five-Year Plan. Even the Emperor inoculated himself with the cowpox pox pulp. What should the common people dislike?

Hearing this, Feng Chenghan glanced at Leng Luoyue again. Her mind was indeed very active.

"This method is very good." Lu Yuanshi clapped his hands. Why didn't he think of using this method just now?After all, his brain was still not as sharp as Luo Yue's.

Imperial Physician Lin also nodded and said: "Why don't you, Your Majesty, tell the world how vaccination with cowpox can prevent smallpox? Find a day and vaccinate with cowpox outside the South Gate in front of the people."

"In order to prevent the people from thinking that the emperor's vaccination was not cowpox, it is best to take a cow with cowpox and squeeze it on the spot to inoculate it." Leng Luoyue added.Squeezing cowpox inoculation on the spot will make people more convinced and avoid random suspicion.

Feng Chenghan glanced at Leng Luoyue and said loudly: "Tomorrow I will tell the world that in five days I and all the civil and military officials will be vaccinated against cowpox at the gate of Nangong. Your hospital should prepare."

Imperial envoy Lu and Imperial Physician Lin clasped their hands and said together, "Yes."

Then, there was silence in the main hall for a while.

Feng Chenghan broke the silence: "Vaccination against smallpox is a matter of benefit to all people and will last forever. The credit belongs to the three of you."

"There is also Imperial Physician Xu." Envoy Lu Yuan said, "It was Imperial Physician Xu who took care of the vaccination of death row prisoners outside the palace. Leng Luoyue told this method, and the ministers and others only verified it, and the main contribution was still at her."

Feng Chenghan closed his eyes. He knew that there was no need for him to remind him. "In the morning in two days' time, I will reward you for your merits in front of all the civil and military officials. You will all go then."

Although he doesn't like Leng Luoyue, he will not erase the credit that belongs to her.

"Yes." The three replied in unison.

Envoy Lu and Imperial Physician Lin left the Longxiang Hall, Leng Luoyue also returned to the side hall, and Feng Chenghan went to the imperial study to approve the memorial.

The next day, Fengcheng Han summoned the envoys of Lu Yuan to go to the imperial study room and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and together they wrote the edict that was to be announced to the world.The edict stated in detail that it was Leng Luoyue who read in ancient books that vaccination with cowpox could prevent smallpox. The Imperial Hospital's envoy Lu, Imperial Physician Lin and Imperial Physician Xu verified this method.I also wrote about how to vaccinate and the normal reactions after vaccination.Let officials from various places organize doctors to vaccinate local people with cowpox free of charge.We urge people to actively vaccinate. Vaccination with cowpox will only be beneficial, not harmful.

After the edict was written, officials from the Ministry of Rites transcribed multiple copies. After each copy was stamped with a jade seal, they were quickly sent to various places. The fresh edict was also posted on the notice board in the main street.

When the people of Kyoto saw this edict, they all started talking about it.

"If you inoculate people with cowpox, they will not be infected with smallpox. This is simply ridiculous!"

"That's right, let alone whether it's true or not, this cow has acne caused by a disease, how can it be planted on a human body?"

An aunt who came out to buy groceries had goosebumps all over her body, "Don't say it, I feel sick just thinking about it." "I don't know what the emperor is thinking? He told the world about such a ridiculous thing. We urge people to get vaccinated.”

"Anyway, I will never get vaccinated against this cowpox."

"I do not know either."

A scholar said: "Our emperor is the most sage. If vaccination with cowpox is ineffective, he will not tell the world. The edict states that this method was read by Leng Luoyue from ancient books, and people from the Imperial Hospital also verified it on death row prisoners. However, it can be seen that this method should be effective.”

"Who is Leng Luoyue?"

"You forgot, that is the daughter of the deposed queen Leng Tianming."

"Then Leng Tianming is a traitor. How can we trust his daughter's words?"

"I can really trust what she said." Someone said, "When smallpox broke out in the palace, she presented the handbook for preventing and controlling smallpox, as well as the prescription for treating smallpox."

"Yes, I heard people say that Pingshan Village followed the manual and used the prescription, and the effect was remarkable. Although many people still died, no one contracted smallpox again, and some smallpox patients with mild symptoms also died. It’s getting better.”

"The manuals and prescriptions she presented are all useful. Maybe after being vaccinated with cowpox, you won't get smallpox again!"

"Only a fool would believe that cowpox only occurs in sick cows. If you pierce your own body with the cowpox slurry from a sick cow, will that make you infected with the disease from the sick cow?"

"Perhaps vaccination with cowpox is really useful." A gray-haired old man looked at the edict and said.

"You know again?" Someone said angrily to the old man.

The old man was not annoyed, and his thoughts went back to decades ago, and he slowly said: "Little brother, I am not from Kyoto. 30 years ago, smallpox broke out in Changping County where I was located. In addition to the county town, more than a dozen people in Changping County No one in this village was spared. In Liujia Village, there were more than 30 households. Except for three people in my family who survived, all the others died of smallpox."

The smallpox outbreak occurred so quickly that it could not be controlled. More than 3000 people died in Changping County.

The old man continued: "When my wife and young daughter were also infected with smallpox, I thought that my whole family would die together, so I did not shy away from it and took care of my wife and daughter. However, my father and son at home did not wait until my wife and daughter died. He died without contracting smallpox.”

Hearing this, everyone around was very surprised.

"At first I thought the three of us were lucky. After the smallpox in Changping County ended, we didn't want to stay in the deserted village, so we came to Kyoto to join our relatives and settle down in Kyoto. When I saw this edict today, I suddenly became enlightened. , back then, it was not because of great luck that the three of us survived."

"What's the reason for that?" Everyone was very curious, and some people couldn't wait and asked directly.

The old man said: "It's because all three of us were infected with cowpox by the old cow at home."

There is an old cow in his family, which he, his father, and his son take care of. The old cow has had cowpox several times, and cowpox is contagious to humans, and they have all been infected.Doesn't vaccination with cowpox make people infected with cowpox?It can be seen that they were able to survive 30 years ago because they were infected with cowpox by old cows.

"So, vaccination with cowpox can really prevent smallpox?"

"I'm afraid it really can."

"Who knows if this old man is talking nonsense."

"He shouldn't be talking nonsense. There was indeed an outbreak of smallpox in Changping County 30 years ago, and many people died." When the old man talked about his wife and daughter who died of smallpox, the sadness he showed did not look like he was pretending.

"Whether I can or not, I won't be vaccinated against something so disgusting."

"I do not know either."

"I also……"
