Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 186 Two Ways
The reason why Cui Wenzi wanted to worship Zhao Yi as his teacher, and Ying Zheng also saw it, a large part of the reason was because he hoped that Zhao Yi could help him deal with the smallpox in Shu, so Zhao Yi said that Cui Wenzi had evil intentions, and it made sense of.

Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't answer for a long time, Cui Wenzi thought that he was not sincere enough, so he simply prepared to kneel down to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi didn't want to, so he quickly jumped away, waved his hands again and again, and said, "Master Cui, don't mess around, how can Gu be your teacher, isn't this nonsense?"

"Besides, the right minister's illness, to be honest, is just his luck. I just have my own opinions on some difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the medical field. I don't really want to be a medical officer. You should hire another expert!"

What Zhao Yi said was impeccable, and Cui Wenzi suddenly looked disappointed when he heard the words, but he was still unwilling, "Since Your Highness does not want to be the master of the villain, the villain will not force him, but there is something, the villain would like to ask His Highness , Your Highness, do you know about smallpox?"

[Damn, Nima knows that Cui Wenzi's mind is not pure, and I know that he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. 】

[Looks like smallpox broke out somewhere, Nima is such a troublesome thing, if you get it, you will die! 】

When Ying Zheng heard Zhao Yi's heartfelt feelings, his heart tightened suddenly. He didn't expect Zhao Yi to dabble in smallpox.

"It's said that this is a kind of plague, what's wrong?" Zhao Yi deliberately put on a curious expression.

"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness." Cui Wenzi hurriedly said, "Smallpox has broken out in many places in Sichuan, and many people have died due to smallpox. The situation has reached a critical situation."

"That's why the villain wants to ask the prince, does the prince understand this smallpox, and is there a way to save it?"

"What? Smallpox appeared in Shu, when did it happen?" Now Zhao Yi was really shocked.

I originally thought that such a severe infectious disease would not appear when the weather was cold, but I didn't expect it to happen anyway.

[How does smallpox work? I seem to know something about watching TV before. 】

[Yes, it is the emperor with braids, Lagu Su Ma cured the emperor's smallpox with Achnatherum splendens. 】

[By the way, this Achnatherum splendens seems to be found on the Qinling Mountains. Of course, this thing is troublesome to find, and the effect is also slow. 】

[What is really useful is to quickly vaccinate the cows, let the cows suffer from smallpox, and use vaccinia to inoculate people, so that the infection and development of smallpox can be suppressed. 】

While Zhao Yi was surprised in his heart, he had already thought of two treatment methods for smallpox, and Ying Zheng heard them clearly.

When Ying Zheng heard that Zhao Yi had thought of two solutions at once, he was in a bad mood. He thought Zhao Yi would have nothing to do with smallpox, but he didn't expect him to think of more than one solution at once, which surprised Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't speak for a long time, Cui Wenzi's expression gradually changed from hope to despair, but he still smiled and said: "Your Highness, this matter should not be too hasty, why don't you look through the classics to see if there is a solution in the book .”

"When is this, are you still flipping through the book?" Li Si was burning with anxiety at this moment. The inaction of the officials in Shu had already annoyed him very much.

Hearing Cui Wenzi's solution to this matter, he couldn't help but sneered coldly: "Since the pre-Qin period, there have been related records of smallpox, and there is no cure so far. Smallpox is an incurable disease. Cui Wenzi, why are you embarrassing the crown prince?" ?”

Li Si's purpose was to quickly blockade Shu and let Ying Zheng make a decision earlier, but Ying Zheng, who had already known everything, looked at Li Si with a sneer.

"Prince, I believe you. If you have already thought of something, it's okay to say it!" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Yi with firm eyes.

Originally, Zhao Yi was too lazy to talk when he heard Li Si's words, but when he saw Ying Zheng's eyes, he couldn't help thinking of the people in Shu, and Zhang Cang who didn't know where he was in Shu at the moment.

If it is really because of smallpox that the smallpox in Shu is flooded and Zhang Cang suffers because of it, Zhao Yi will be sad.

"There are indeed two methods for Gu here, but they are just Gu's humble opinion, let's talk about it for the reference of Dr. Cui."

When Zhao Yi opened his mouth, Li Si was dumbfounded, but Cui Wenzi was ecstatic, and hurriedly bowed his hands, "Your Highness, please explain."

"I saw from an ancient book alone that there was a village in the Qinling Mountains. The cattle of the villagers in the village suffered from smallpox, which caused the villagers to also suffer from smallpox."

"At first, the villagers were very desperate and thought there was no way out, but one day they saw a cow suffering from smallpox and went up the mountain to eat a herb called Achnatherum splendens, and then the buffalo's smallpox was cured."

"Then the villagers did the same thing, and they all used that herbal medicine to treat themselves. In the end, the villagers in the entire village survived and all recovered."

"What? Achnatherum splendens can treat smallpox?" Cui Wenzi also knew about Achnatherum splendens, but he had never seen any ancient book saying that this herb could cure smallpox.

"That's it. As long as we find Achnatherum splendens, the people of Shu will be saved." Li Si's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he immediately asked, "Then what is the second method of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"The second method is actually related to the records in the classics." Zhao Yi continued: "It is recorded in the classics that some villagers did not eat Achnatherum splendens, but because they hated the cow for causing him to get smallpox, they beat the cow."

"As a result, the cowpox burst and the pus splashed on the villagers, but the strange thing is that the villagers who were splashed by the cowpox in the end recovered without any medicine. Therefore, the authors in the classics guessed that the cowpox can cure smallpox."

"Ah?" Li Si was instantly confused when he heard this method.

Cui Wenzi also felt that the first method Zhao Yi mentioned was still traceable, and the second method was a bit of a joke. Whoever is okay to rub cowpox on himself would feel disgusting even thinking about it, let alone cure the disease up.

But Ying Zheng has absolute confidence in Zhao Yi, and he absolutely believes in Zhao Yi in this matter.

"I absolutely believe in the prince, since there is no other good way now, then follow the method the prince just said!"

Li Si thought for a while, nodded and said: "I obey the order, now I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Cui Wenzi thought about it, and felt that the method Zhao Yi said was the only one he could count on right now when there was no other way, and two methods were better than one, so try them all, there is no harm anyway !

"Then I implore Your Majesty, send a medical officer to go to Sichuan with Xiaomin tomorrow, and use the prince's method to see if it works."

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, but Zhao Yi had an expression of indifference, but his voice kept pouring into Ying Zheng's mind.
