Chapter 263: Fenghou, I really feel wronged
Chapter 263: It’s really aggrieved to be a marquis
As soon as Changsun Wuji left, Mrs. Changsun began to think about it. Who is the master talking about? Who has such great ability to cure the disease of smallpox?
Women's family like to think randomly without any problems, and even if there is something, the more she thinks about it, the more she becomes excited, and the more she thinks about it, the deeper she thinks about it. The master just met Wang Ping'an, and they talked about something at the dinner table, but she happened to be not present and could not hear it. So did Wang Ping'an mention that it can cure smallpox diseases?
She called a servant and asked, "You were just serving in the hall. Have you heard the young master of the Wang family mention anything to our master? Have you ever talked about the evil diseases of smallpox?"
When the disease of smallpox is mentioned, the name of this plague is really everyone talking about the change of color. The servant shook his head and said, "When the wife said that, when the master talked to the young master of the Wang family, the young people were not there to serve him, and they didn't hear anything they said!"
Mrs. Changsun said, "It's been confirmed, nine out of ten...it's all the matter mentioned by Wang Ping'an. If you don't talk about important matters, your master will not signal the servant to leave!"
She asked again: "This Wang Ping'an is a very famous person in our Chang'an. What did the people outside say about him? Have you ever talked about him?"
The servant was a little stunned and thought to himself, "What is this for Madam? Should I say it better or worse?" After recalling in his heart, he also heard that Wang Ping'an's deeds were a lot of good things, but nothing was bad!
The servant was a little hesitant and said, "When the wife said, the young master of the Wang family is indeed very prestigious. He usually works in the mansion and rarely goes out to play. I have heard of it, but he always says good things about the Wang family and has no bad words!"
Mrs. Changsun was overjoyed and clapped her hands and said, "It's not bad as Laos expected. Sure enough, Wang Ping'an is a good child. How do outsiders praise him? How can you tell me?"
The servant suddenly realized that he wanted to listen to good things. That was great, so I didn't have to worry about making up bad things. He hurriedly said, "The young master of the Wang family is willing to treat poor people, and he also gave mung bean porridge at Lingyan Temple. Other doctors treat people with medicine, but no matter who the patient is, he treats them equally and has the style of ancient people. Also, his knowledge is good..."
The servant praised Wang Ping'an in a very exaggerated way. He heard Mrs. Changsun's smile and the old lady was extremely happy, just like she heard others praise her children!
After hearing the servant's words, Mrs. Changsun could not sit still, so she went back to the back hall first, went to see the fat child, told the maids to take good care of her, then changed her clothes and asked someone to prepare a carriage, and she was going to go out.
I go out for nothing but to see the old sisters. I just talk about the good men of the Wang family, and talk about the daughters of each family who cannot get married. Don’t think that the daughters of wealthy and noble families will not have to worry about marrying. I’m really wrong. The higher the status, the harder the daughters of the family will be married. In the family of her older sisters, everyone has daughters who cannot get married. Anyway, they either choose others or others choose them. In short, they pick each other and get confused, but they can’t choose the right one!
Wang Ping'an is definitely a suitable one. Can the eyes of the old sister Changsun be wrong?
The old couple of Changsun family, one of whom planned to talk to the old sisters about how suitable Wang Ping'an was to be a son-in-law, while the other was to go into the palace and talk to her brother-in-law about how good Wang Ping'an was to help the Tang Dynasty!
Changsun Wuji entered the palace. After the little eunuch informed him, he entered the Ganlu Hall again. After entering the hall, he saw that the panzhan had just been removed from the hall and Li Shimin had already used lunch, and Li Ke did not leave. It was obvious that he was having lunch with Li Shimin!
Although they are a father and son, the rules of the royal family are different from ordinary surnames. Those who can accompany the emperor to have a meal are their most caring children. In Changsun Wuji's heart, no one has the qualifications except for the prince and princess of his sister's biological son. So what can they do if they are father and son? The difference between the king and the minister. If they leave the palace and open the palace, they will be a minister. How can they enter the palace to invite favor? It is simply a rebellious and has the ambition to replace the prince!
As soon as Changsun Wuji entered the hall, the color on his face was wrong. Li Ke was playing "Happy at the knee". When he saw his "uncle", his face was still blue and he knew that things were going to be bad and he had to be scolded!
Outside the palace, even Changsun Wuji, the so-called uncle, wouldn't matter how he scolded him as his nephew, anyway, he had been used to it. But if the so-called uncle said something bad in front of his father and made him unable to come to Taiwan, it would be a waste of time. The father didn't care about anyone's words, but he listened to his uncle's words in particular. He would never leave any bad impressions in front of his father, which would affect his possible future!
As soon as Changsun Wuji entered the hall, Li Ke said in surprise and joy: "Uncle, you are here!" He stood up, strode to him, saluted Changsun Wuji, and said: "Uncle is here, there must be something important to tell his father, and his nephew dare not disturb him." He turned to Li Shimin and said: "Father, my son will take his leave now, go back to study hard!"
Li Shimin nodded. He knew that Changsun Wuji was extremely disgusted with Li Ke, and he didn't want to see the two of them staring at each other and waved their hands: "Go back and look at more books on water conservancy, such as how Li Bing built Dujiangyan. These things are very useful, much better than what you read in Ziyue!"
Li Ke agreed and bowed to Changsun Wuji again, then he left the door and left the Ganlu Palace.
Seeing that Li Ke was quite clear and afraid of him, Changsun Wuji felt a little relieved, so he gave up. He walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must be very surprised, are you?"
Li Shimin sighed in his heart and thought, "What's so strange? You object to the question of next year's science exam to clear the Grand Canal, but Ke'er agreed. When you saw you outside the hall, you were afraid that he would touch me, so you went back. When you saw him, you looked so good. If I couldn't guess this, what else could you guess?"
He pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yes, I'm very strange. Wuji, why are you back? But there is something important to tell me?" After that, he waved his hand to Shi Zhongchen who was serving him, indicating that he would come over. Shi Zhongchen immediately brought a red painted wooden pallet and placed it behind Changsun Wuji.
After thanking for giving the seat, Changsun Wuji sat on the pier and said, "Your Majesty, I have something unknown, I want to ask the emperor."
"Oh, just say it right. Ke'er's child is actually good. Don't always make things difficult for him!" Li Shimin frowned. He thought Changsun Wuji was talking about this.
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "The old minister has never been happy about the matter of King Wu." This was a bit insincere and he himself didn't believe it. Then he said, "Your Majesty, the old minister wants to ask, which one is the most harmful and causes the most casualties in the world?"
Li Shimin was slightly stunned. Why did he suddenly talk about this? Without thinking, he said directly: "Of course it is smallpox. This evil disease has great harm and widespread disaster. There is no second plague in the world that can be compared with it!"
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Your Majesty is a wise man. Can the emperor know that the evil disease of smallpox was not originally a disease from the Central Plains, but from the grassland?"
Li Shimin snorted and said, "I naturally know that the grassland barbarians are so dirty. They introduced this disease to the Central Plains. Wasn't smallpox called sulcus? Before the Han Dynasty, no one in the Central Plains had ever suffered such a disease!"
Speaking of smallpox, in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that no one who studied in the school would not know. Ordinary people may not understand history and do not understand where this kind of evil disease was passed down, but how can those who rule the law be ignorant? Whenever such evil disease occurs, those who rule the law are all jealous. When smallpox is done, not only the poor people die, but even the rich people cannot escape it. It is truly fearful to everyone!
Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Master, do you know that cowpox is a disease?"
"Wuji, what's wrong with you today? Why are you asking me about these things? The disease of cowpox is considered rinderpest, how could I not know!" Li Shimin was quite puzzled. Changsun Wuji has never been a talkative person, so why did he ask me endlessly today!
Changsun Wuji shouted: "Your Majesty, do you know that cowpox is also a kind of smallpox? And it is a kind of smallpox that can be transmitted to people?"
Li Shimin was stunned and sat upright, his voice became louder, and he said, "Is cowpox smallpox? Who said this? Wuji, who did you hear about cowpox smallpox?"
Not only was the emperor surprised, but even Shi Zhongchen who was serving him was shocked. Smallpox was ill and if the cattle could be obtained, then this thing would be unfunded. No matter how useful the cattle worked, it would be, and even if it was useful, it would be useless!
After saying this, Li Shimin suddenly said, "No, if a cow can get smallpox, then why did the people of the Central Plains not have it before the Han Dynasty? Why did we have to wait until the Hulu came here before this plague occurred in the Central Plains?"
The emperor is the emperor, and Li Shimin is Li Shimin. When he sees the problem, he can see the key points of the problem at once! It is like killing all the cows in the world. Changsun Wuji can say this trick in a hurry, but he can't say it, and he doesn't even think about it in that direction!
Changsun Wuji finally smiled and said, "The emperor hit the nail on the head, and he saw the key point of the old minister! After the old minister left the court today, he thought of two questions for the next year's scientific examination. They were all the latest current events..." At this point, he paused, did not say anything further, and coughed twice.
Shi Zhongchen was such a person who knew everything. When he saw Changsun Wuji like this, he cursed in his heart: "Old bastard, he actually wants to drive our house away. Our house doesn't serve you tea, you will be thirsty!"
He was angry, but a smile appeared on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I remembered that a batch of good tea has been introduced in Lingnan recently. I will make it now and try it for the emperor and Lord Changsun!"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, go and make tea!"
Shi Zhongchen bowed to Changsun Wuji with a smile. Changsun Wuji hurriedly nodded and smiled at him. One was the first powerful minister and the other was the first powerful official. No one wanted to offend anyone, and no one could offend anyone!
When Shi Zhongchen left, Changsun Wuji said: "Oneth, the old minister has come up with one of the new disaster relief laws. This is a good deed that is very beneficial to the court and the people. It is appropriate to use it as a topic!"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's great, the new disaster relief law can be defined as a formal topic." He suddenly laughed and said, "That's a bargain, Wang Ping'an!"
Changsun Wuji also smiled and said, "The alternative topic is related to smallpox. It's a coincidence and it has something to do with Wang Ping'an. He is so cheap that he can pick up a lot!"
"It was Wang Ping'an who proposed the smallpox matter. He said that this kind of plague could be cured?" Li Shimin's eyes were brilliant. If smallpox could be cured, it would undoubtedly be a great joy for the Tang Empire!
Changsun Wuji rubbed his beard and shook his head and said, "It was Wang Ping'an who brought up this matter, but he had no way to cure smallpox!"
The glitter in his eyes dimmed in an instant! Li Shimin slowly leaned on the back of the chair behind, like a deflated ball, and said, "He has no way to cure smallpox, why did he propose it? Could it be that he wants to suggest that I kill all the cows in the world?"
With a trembling hand, he pulled off several beards. Changsun Wuji grinned and thought to himself: "I originally wanted to mention the trick of killing a cow, and it has nothing to do with Wang Ping'an."
He said: "There is no treatment for smallpox, but there is a prevention method. This is what Wang Ping'an said in person. He has been observing the shepherd boys in their village for almost ten years and found a way to prevent smallpox!"
Li Shimin slapped, slammed the table with a slam, and said angrily: "Wuji, Wuji, why do you only say half of your words? There is a way to prevent it. Isn't it better than treating it if you get sick? You didn't finish it in one breath, can you think..."
What he wanted to say was: Are you having fun with me? I don’t have the nerve to say it. If Changsun Wuji immediately fell to the ground when he said it, it would be boring!
Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin showed a smile on his face. Could it be that smallpox can really be prevented? If this is the case, then how many families will be preserved and how many people will survive because of this!
Seeing the emperor's reaction, Changsun Wuji was exactly the same as when he heard Wang Ping'an's words, and he was very happy. He was not in a hurry to talk about cowpox, but said: "Master, if Wang Ping'an can really find a way to prevent smallpox, how do you plan to reward him?"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Wuji, you old guy, have a weird temperament. If you don't like someone, you will keep saying bad things about that person. If you like someone, you will actually ask for rewards for him in person. Why? Have you accepted Wang Ping'an as a disciple?"
Changsun Wuji also smiled and said, "If the old minister accepts him as his disciple, he will not ask for rewards for him. Emperor, if Wang Ping'an can really prevent smallpox, what if he is a marquis?"
