Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 20
"emperor?"

Li Ze's heart was shocked. It seemed that, just as the village chief said, the government's handling methods were always the simplest and rudest.

For smallpox or plague, which has almost no specific treatment, the easiest way is fire.

Fire is always the easiest remedy for any ailment.

A fire can burn away the dead, wounded and sick, as well as all kinds of viruses.

Li Ze frowned, and dragged his tired body step by step towards the entrance of the village. From a distance, he could see the pitch black elite soldiers in uniform.

At this time, Li Er had surrounded the village with nearly a thousand cattle guards alone.

Once someone wants to escape, he must be killed without mercy.

Li Ze bent over slightly, only to hear the bones on his body "click".

There was a sharp pain in the spine, and Li Ze grinned from the pain.

Looking down, seeing the armored soldiers standing beside Li Er, Li Ze realized that this time Li Erji might be trying to trap everyone in this village to death.

At that time, together with everything in this village, they will be burned to the ground, and there will be no smallpox here from now on.

Simple, rude and fast.

Li Ze secretly calculated in his mind, how to persuade Li Er later, so that he can be sure that he has a way to restrain smallpox.

While thinking about it, Li Ze bowed and said, "Grassman... Your servant, Li Ze, pay my respects..."

Before Li Ze could finish speaking, Li Er waved his hand and interrupted: "There is no need to salute the miracle doctor."

"Master Li, we should leave the matter here to the military officials. Today I am here to pick you up and return to Chang'an City."

Li Ze was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Li Er suspiciously: "It is the duty of a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded. This village is full of patients. Now the doctor's clinic has taken in a large number of patients. How can we abandon them now? Isn't it detrimental to medical ethics?"

"Forgive me for not being able to obey my orders, this smallpox, I will rule it!"

"This..." Li Er was speechless for a moment.

As a doctor, he would try his best to treat as many people as possible. It is really impossible for him to give up the patient in front of him.

"But... Doctor Li, you have superb medical skills, and you are a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. And the doctor is the savior of Guanyin's maidservant. This epidemic area is extremely dangerous. If there is something wrong with the doctor, how can I get along with Guanyin's maidservant?" Why don't you explain to the officials and common people of the Tang Dynasty? It would be a pity if he died here because of Li's medical skills!" Li Er was so anxious that he was about to jump up, and he had already come up with all the excuses he could think of.

If that doesn't work, Li Er can only use the last resort, the emperor's order, and grab!
Li Er made up his mind, no matter what he said, he would find a way to bring Li Ze back to Chang'an City. If Li Ze really contracted smallpox, then he really couldn't explain to Guanyin's maidservant.

Sure enough, as Li Er expected, Li Ze still shook his head resolutely: "This official dares to stay in the epidemic area, because he is sure that he can control the disease, and this official has already..."

Before Li Ze could finish speaking, Li Er suddenly became angry, pointed at Li Ze and said, "What? Is Li Xianbo going to resist the edict? Come on! Bring him back to Chang'an City!"

Li Ze was stunned on the spot. What kind of operation was this?
Just when Li Ze was about to stop these Qianniuwei from approaching him, the Qianniuwei who approached Li Ze were startled when they saw the acne on Li Ze's face, and their feet stopped immediately.

"Your Majesty...he...he seems to have been infected with smallpox!" One of the Qianniuwei suddenly looked back at Li Er with a trembling voice.

Li Er took a few steps forward in surprise. When he saw a few pimples on Li Ze's face, Li Er's eyes suddenly shrank. The pimples on Li Ze's face were so conspicuous.

The terminally ill smallpox...infected his long-lost eldest son, whom he had only seen for a few days.

Li Ze was so frightened that he took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground on his back.

A Qianniuwei commander behind him was so frightened that he quickly supported Li Er.

There is no reminiscence, no recognition, or in other words, all this happened too fast and it was too late.

His own son will leave him.

Li Er stood there dumbly, his whole body tensed up, and he kept raising his hand to signal Li Zeping to get up.

The mouth is slightly open, the eyes are wide and vacant.

The arms hovering in the air gradually began to tremble, and the expression of horror was beyond words.

"Smallpox... smallpox..." Li Er repeated with a weeping tone in his voice, if something happened to Li Zewan, how would he explain it to the Guanyin servant girl?
Li Ze looked at Li Er's expression in bewilderment, wishing to find a mirror to take a picture, how terrifying are these pimples, can they make Li Er look like this?

However, Li Er wasn't scared by the pimples on Li Ze's face at all.

In order to dissuade Guanyin's maidservant not to recognize his son for the time being, Li Er almost tried his best, if he knew that his son had contracted smallpox.

Guanyin's servant girl might rush into the infected area to fish Ze'er out immediately.

Li Er's face was distorted, and he was in extreme pain. Losing two close relatives at once, Li Er must not let what he imagined become a reality.

Although the fatality rate of smallpox is extremely high, there is an imperial doctor in the palace, and there is a genius doctor Sun Simiao, who must save Li Ze no matter what the price is!

Li Er made up his mind and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze! Take him down! Take him back to Chang'an City!"

"Wait!" Li Ze hurriedly took a few steps back, stretching out his hands to signal not to approach him.

"Your Majesty, the pimples on this official's body are not smallpox, but something that can resist smallpox." Li Ze said with an extremely serious expression.

Now Li Ze has figured it out, Li Er cherishes his talents and is reluctant to let him die.

I thought the acne on my face was smallpox, but in fact, this thing is much less harmful than smallpox.

Except it makes people feel itchy.

After hearing what Li Ze said, Li Er was a little stunned. What is not smallpox, and what is something that resists smallpox?
He looked at Li Ze suspiciously, and Li Er took a few steps forward to examine it carefully, then asked again with a frown, "You said, isn't your face smallpox?"

Li Ze shook his head slowly: "It's not smallpox, this is the thing I'm going to develop recently that can resist smallpox, that is, the vaccinia vaccine, just now I just said it to His Majesty, but His Majesty interrupted me..."

"However, in order to obtain a large amount of vaccines, His Majesty still needs to cooperate; I can guarantee that as long as the epidemic comes out, smallpox will completely disappear from this world from now on!"

Li Er carefully looked at Li Ze up and down. For ordinary smallpox patients, if herpes had already appeared, they would have already collapsed in bed with a high fever, but Li Ze's performance at this time seemed to be just a little tired caused by overwork.

Seeing that Li Er still didn't believe it, Li Ze had to tell Li Er the details of the vaccinia vaccine in his previous life one by one.

After listening to Li Er, coupled with his trust in Li Ze's own superb medical skills, he was relieved just now, and the big stone hanging in his heart slowly fell.

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Er eased his emotions, and said with a serious expression: "Although you are sure that what you are suffering from is not smallpox, staying in the epidemic area is bound to be dangerous. You should go back to Chang'an City with me. There are also many patients in Chang'an City, I can mobilize the imperial doctor to assist Dr. Li, why does Dr. Li do it himself?"

"Oh...Your Majesty, why don't you understand?" Li Ze sighed and said, "This smallpox, even if all the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Office are dispatched, it may not be able to handle it well. I must do it myself. And I have a vaccine in my body, this smallpox can't do anything to me at all, don't worry, Your Majesty, my medical skills will be handed over to the world before I die, I will never do anything I am not sure about."

"When the vaccine is developed, I will be the first to vaccinate the medical officers. At that time, all the doctors in the Tang Dynasty will work together to eradicate this little smallpox." Li Ze puffed up his chest and patted it. A very proud look.

Li Er looked at Li Ze's firm expression and confident appearance, and he lowered his head helplessly and sighed: "Alas...in this case...how do you want me to cooperate with you in treating smallpox, I will definitely do my best."
