The Qianqing Palace was silent, except for the big clock sent by Zhu Yunxi, which swayed regularly and made a ticking sound.

Lao Zhu stared at the group of kneeling officials with his scarlet dragon eyes, roaring like a dragon.

"Why don't you speak? Are you all mute?"

"What about your usual quarreling skills?"

"If we don't discuss a prevention and treatment method today, you all will not leave the palace!"

After hearing this, all the officials kowtowed and apologized, but after apologizing, they remained silent.

Although the emperor's words were a bit unreasonable, they all understood that the emperor was worried about the people, the capital, and the people of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor is too impatient, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't even think about it. If they had the ability to solve smallpox, they wouldn't have to kneel here. They should be sitting on the altar and being worshiped by the Emperor and all the people.

That's smallpox!

Since ancient times, which dynasty has spread this kind of thing without force, and who has a good way to treat it?

It is said that the reason why Song Renzong adopted someone else's son as emperor was because all his own sons died.

Smallpox is responsible for this.

Of course, this is just a legend, and no one has confirmed it.

Just when everyone was staring at each other, Zhu Yunxi, who was kneeling in the corner, suddenly thought of two words - cowpox?

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson seems to have an idea..."

Lao Zhu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but when he realized that the speaker was Zhu Yunxi, his face fell again.

"Shut up!"

"We'll deal with you after we've discussed things with them!"

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson really has a way. I seem to have heard someone say that vaccination can be used to prevent and cure pox..."

"Vaccination?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, his eyebrows showed a look of thought. When the officials kneeling below heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, I have thought of it. Folks have had methods of vaccination since ancient times, but this method is quite troublesome to deal with. It is passed down from master to disciple, word of mouth, and is kept secret."

"If your Majesty posts a notice and pays a lot of money to hire strangers from the public, you may not be able to obtain this method!"

Seeing Qitai say this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but believe it.

Qi Tai is a person he is quite optimistic about, and he is a loyal minister who plans to leave it to his grandson. If he says so, that acne method seems to be really feasible.

"In that case, let's do it quickly!"

"You happen to be in the Ministry of Rites, so you can draft an imperial edict for us, ordering all the subjects and people, whoever can prevent and cure smallpox to save the people, the Duke will reward him and give him a thousand pieces of gold!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, all the officials in the hall were so excited that their eyes turned red.

Duke!

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, how many dukes were given to it?

Now His Majesty, the Emperor, actually wants to take the Duke as a bounty, so all the talented people in the world can't stop flocking to him!

Although Lao Zhu was not stingy with rewards, he did not want to be taken advantage of, so he quickly added.

"Your Etiquette Department, in conjunction with Taiyuan Hospital, is responsible for selecting the person who will announce the announcement."

"If there is someone who cheats, don't deal with it for the time being. Let's entertain him with good food and drink. Be sure to act like he's buying bones for a lot of money, so as to dispel the worries of those who are really capable!"

….

When everyone heard what Lao Zhu said, they all praised His Majesty's wisdom from the bottom of their hearts.

Although they complained about the Emperor's cruelty and petty nature when they had nothing to do, everyone had to admit that His Majesty the Emperor really saw through people's hearts and calculated things to the core.

Even before the list was posted, the emperor had anticipated that there would be people who were cheating and had thought of countermeasures in advance. He was indeed a wise king.

After Lao Zhu sent away all the officials, he waved to Zhu Yunxi who was kneeling in the corner.

"Come here!"

Zhu Yunxi was so frightened that he cried when he saw this dragon summons. Grandpa Huang was in such a bad mood today, why should he beat himself to death?

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson just made a great contribution, woo woo woo..."

Lao Zhu glared at Da Sun displeasedly and snorted coldly.

"Who cares about beating you?"

"We're tired, please help me sort out the memorials..."

"oh……"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard that he did not need to be beaten, he immediately ran over and helped Lao Zhu organize the memorial.

"Grandpa Huang, how do you organize this thing?"

"Just watch it and behave yourself!"

Lao Zhu leaned against the back of the dragon chair and stared, wanting to sleep but unable to sleep. His mind was full of the tragic scene of the epidemic in the capital (町通 epidemic, anti-harmony with false characters) running rampant and the corpses of the people being hauled out one by one.

In fact, he has seen this kind of scene many times in his life, and he was a participant many times. When he was a child, his parents and eldest brother died within a week. He used a flatbed truck to pull it outside the village and borrowed it from the Chen family.

A piece of land was buried. After that, he became a monk, traveled around, begged on the streets, and witnessed countless epidemics and famines. Human lives were really like grass.

He originally thought that he had become the emperor. After so many years of hard work, even if the Ming Dynasty could not be said to be far superior to the Han and Tang Dynasties, it could at least be called a peaceful era, right?

Who would have imagined that such a thing would happen again!

Lao Zhu also detained his eldest grandson in the palace because of the outbreak of epidemics in various places. Not only did he not dare to let him inspect the counties along the Yangtze River for him, he even dared not let him leave the palace for fear that he would cause trouble outside.

Get sick.

Zhu Yunxi was really bored in the palace, so he led a group of princes and grandsons to improve the method of fighting crickets and came up with the idea of ​​launching the Ming Dynasty Palace Cricket World Championships.

However, before he could put this idea into practice, he was rudely interrupted by Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yunxi divided the memorials into two parts according to those that had been approved and those that had not been approved. The unapproved memorials were also classified according to the priority of the matter.

Just when he had finished tidying up and was about to sneak out, Lao Zhu suddenly opened his eyes.

"Where do you want to go, your rebellious grandson?"

Where else could Zhu Yunxi go? Naturally, he wanted to go to the main hall to see if the heroic crickets of the World Championships would be smashed to death.

At the very least, save it first and collect a few hundred cricket ponds.

"Grandpa Huang, are you awake?"

Lao Zhu dragged his tired body and looked at his royal eucalyptus again. When he saw that the eucalyptus was tidied up neatly, he finally felt less depressed.

"You're not allowed to go anywhere today, you're just waiting by our side!"

"well……"

Zhu Yunxi sighed helplessly, then stood beside the royal eucalyptus with lowered eyebrows, and rubbed the ink stick in the inkstone boredly.

….

All the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that His Majesty the Emperor had left the three emperors' grandchildren in the palace.

As long as the grandson of the Three Emperors is here, even if His Majesty the Emperor gets angry, there is always somewhere to vent his anger!

In fact, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly renovated the main hall today, and Qin Deshun took the lead.

If Qin Deshun hadn't seen that the emperor was extremely angry and properly reminded the emperor of his beloved grandson's mischief in the main hall, how could Lao Zhu have remembered Zhu Yunxi, his rebellious grandson?

Therefore, Qin Deshun did not hesitate to betray Zhu Yunxi in exchange for the peace of Qianqing Palace.

Lao Zhu picked up a memorial and was a little surprised when he saw that it was exactly what he wanted to read.

He hurriedly looked at the pile of memorials he had sorted out, and saw that the ones closest to his hand were related to the epidemic, the ones further away were the border reports, and the ones further away were the daily affairs reported by officials from various places.

Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

"How did you think of such a division?"

"Back to Grandpa Huang, my grandson guesses that what you are most concerned about right now is the epidemic, so I have placed all the memorials related to the epidemic in the position closest to you, so that it is easier for you to read."

"As for unimportant things, naturally put them further away. Those things are not urgent anyway. Playing a day early will not affect anything."

"You're a rebellious grandson, but you're quite clever!"

"I'll take note of this spanking for today, and I'll deal with you another day when I'm in good spirits!"

"ah……"

Zhu Yunxi was immediately unhappy when he heard this. He thought he had escaped just now.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson realizes his mistake, please forgive me this time."

"Besides, it's really boring to stay in the palace all day long. My grandson was so depressed that he couldn't do anything about it, so he improved the method of fighting crickets."

"Do you think your grandson has ever been interested in cricket fighting before?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he nodded secretly, thinking that what Zhu Yunxi said was the truth.
