Dai Sigong concentrated on twirling the silver needle in his hand to accelerate the effect of vaccinia. Soon smallpox herpes was visible to the naked eye on Zhu Xiongying's body, and his skin also became visibly feverish. Dai Sigong said: "If Your Highness Taisun feels uncomfortable, please inform me. I will twist the needle more gently."
"It doesn't matter, Grandpa Dai, Xiongying... Xiongying can bear it..." Zhu Xiongying's forehead was filled with heat, and he was still gritting his teeth.
"Your Highness is really... a great saintly grandson." Seeing Zhu Xiongying like this, Dai Sigong couldn't help but admire him.
Zhu Xiongying was still too young after all, and finally passed out from the pain. Dai Sigong continued the acupuncture for half an hour. When all the herpes on Zhu Xiongying's body was gone, he pulled out the acupuncture and stopped. "Your Majesty and the Fifth Highness, please be relieved. The symptoms are much less severe than those of ordinary smallpox." Seeing Zhu Su and Queen Ma's expressions of concern, Dai Sigong expressed relief while wiping his sweat. "It shows that cowpox is really effective."
"Although the fever will last for a few days, I am 70% sure that His Majesty the Great Grandson will be fine. Once His Majesty's fever subsides and the herpes disappears, the suffering of smallpox will be over."
"Excuse me, doctor." Queen Ma thanked Dai Sigong. Dai Sigong hurriedly returned the gift: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. I am helpless and I have wasted the courtesy that Your Majesty and Your Majesty have received in recent years. This time it was His Highness who said the cure for cowpox. I dare not take credit."
"Mr. Dai is too modest. Without you, even if I know the method of cowpox, I will have nowhere to start." Zhu Su said. He was shocked when he saw the herpes on Zhu Xiongying's body. In later generations, he only knew that cowpox could prevent smallpox, but he did not know that the pox agent of cowpox could also cause such terrible symptoms. It seems that the vaccines of later generations have undergone many improvements. If he rashly vaccinates people by himself, he might actually get killed.
"Although your grandson has been vaccinated, Your Highness and Your Majesty cannot take it lightly," Dai Sigong said. "You two have been by Your Highness Taisun's side for a long time, and you may have passed your illness. Just as a precaution, please sit down and allow me to vaccinate you two."
"Then I'll bother Dai Lao."
Zhu Su nodded, and then sat down calmly, feeling relaxed in his heart. If Zhu Xiongying and Queen Ma can be rescued, the trajectory of the Ming Dynasty will change dramatically. The so-called fate is indeed undesirable. As long as you dare to fight, there is always a glimmer of hope.
…
"Your Majesty, your two highnesses, there is news from inside that Divine Doctor Dai and His Royal Highness King Zhou have rejuvenated themselves, and His Highness Taisun is generally fine." A eunuch with a face full of joy came staggering over and knelt in front of Lao Zhu. His face was covered with pockmarks, and he had obviously suffered from smallpox. He was selected by Lao Zhu this time to get closer to the palace gate and communicate with the Qianqing Palace.
"The Empress asked Your Majesty and the two Highnesses to go back and have a rest. She said that Her Majesty the Grandson needs to rest and not to make noise outside the palace. The Empress also asked the villain to tell Your Majesty that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and everything must be done with state affairs as its priority. Heavy."
"Is the grandson okay? Okay! Great!" Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were overjoyed when they heard this.
"By the way, your majesty, your two highnesses, and your fifth highness have also specifically asked your majesty to isolate everyone around the Qianqing Palace in one place so that no outsiders can be seen. They also sprinkled quicklime around the palace for disinfection. Dai Shenyi He also said that he would like to ask your majesty to teach other imperial doctors to prepare a prescription for the people in the palace to drink in the past few days. The prescription is not complicated, and the decoction for preventing smallpox in "Qianjin Prescription" will be enough." The eunuch said.
"Isolation of contacts and disinfection with lime are the epidemic prevention regulations devised by Lao Wu. I saw him operating it when I was in Suzhou, so leave this matter to me." Zhu Fan stood up and said. "Father, brother, you two have been working very hard these days, so you should go back and rest first."
"I heard that the hero has been seriously ill in the past two days, and the whole court has been very unstable...I think there will be a mountain of memorials by now. Tomorrow is the day of the sunrise, so I think there will be some twists and turns in the court meeting."
"Third brother, do you mean that there is something hidden about smallpox today?" Zhu Xiongying's condition stabilized, and Zhu Biao's heart felt like a big stone, and his thoughts that had become chaotic due to grief became clearer. He keenly captured the meaning of Zhu Fan's words, and his eyes suddenly became profound.
"I'm not sure either." Zhu Fan said. "It's just that I have heard that due to this smallpox, many officials from the DPRK and China came together to claim that this smallpox is a warning from God, to punish new students for not following the Tao and abandoning the connection between heaven and man."
"In the past few days, reports have been coming to the palace gate, and officials have been reporting to the palace outside the palace."
"Whether it is a simple coincidence, or there is indeed a hidden agenda. Nowadays, instability in the DPRK and China has become a trend."
"The Dukes of Han and Dukes of Xin are still managing the lands of Sanhan and Yingzhou, and Dukes of Wei are isolated in the northern frontier to open up the new land of Helin. Even in our Ming Dynasty, generals such as Dukes of Guizhou and Dukes of Cao are still preparing their troops, ready to be ready at any time. Go on an expedition to expand our Ming territory."
"If the government and the government are unstable at this time, the national policy of opening up new territories will be severely damaged. In any case, I ask my father and eldest brother to put national affairs first."
"Hmph, these scumbags." Old Zhu snorted coldly. Knowing that Zhu Xiongying was about to be fine, his expression had returned to his former self-confidence and dominance. "You know how to stumbling upon your own people!"
Feeling that his destiny of being alone has been broken, Lao Zhu is now full of fighting spirit.
"It doesn't matter, we're not dead yet, they won't be able to dance for a few days."
"Whether it's a coincidence or there's some real conspiracy... If they want to turn the tide, it's because they are blind."
"Third brother, please take good care of your mother and your brother and nephew. Boss, please follow us for a while."
"Tomorrow, we, father and son, will see what drama those scourges want to stage!"
…
"Your Majesty, long blessings!"
It's another day at the court meeting. It has been more than ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Today's Fengtian Palace is a little more solemn and luxurious than a few years ago. After all, the national treasury is now abundant, and gold and silver from Yingzhou are continuously sent to the Ming Dynasty's treasury. The imperial court is rich in supplies, so naturally it should not be as simple as before. There should be some repairs to the palace used by the emperor to show the grandeur of the heaven. If it is too shabby, it will be unsightly in front of the foreign envoys who pay tribute.
However, although the treasury is abundant, not many people in the central and central areas feel that the Ming Dynasty is getting richer and stronger: after all, the rich are the Tian family, and the beneficiaries are the poor. They have no access to the world, but they do not get much oil and water. . Daming's pioneering and enterprising strategy did not do them much good in their current situation.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, please report it early." The eunuch's sharp voice resounded throughout the palace. Lao Zhu, who was wearing a uniform, leaned on the dragon chair and yawned sleepily. After all, I had been worried for two days, discussed with Zhu Biao for a long time at night, and only slept for a while at dawn. Seeing the emperor's tired face, all the officials thought that the emperor was not interested in political affairs because his grandson was seriously ill, so they murmured to themselves.
"Your Majesty, I have this report." When the Fengtian Palace was completely silent, a sudden voice suddenly sounded from the end of the line of civil servants.
