Chapter 325 The plague breaks out, Fang Yuan’s decision(1/3)
When Fang Yuan saw Li Shimin, it was almost dark.
When Fang Yuan arrived, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were actually there.
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Fang Yuan felt that something big had happened.
"Li Ke urgently reports that smallpox has appeared in Hebei. Someone in the army has been infected. We urgently seek a solution."
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, the faces of everyone present changed, showing panic expressions.
Smallpox is a plague that is extremely contagious and has a high mortality rate. There is currently no cure.
"Now Li Ke blocks the news and controls the infected soldiers."
"But this is not a long-term solution. Soldiers will find out one day."
"Everyone, please help me!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Someone among the 50,000-strong army is infected.
Those 50,000 troops may have been infected.
If anyone here walks into a crowded place, it will be a devastating blow.
Although Li Ke has temporarily controlled the situation, the soldiers will know it sooner or later.
Once it is known, the army will lose control and 50,000 people will bring devastating disaster to the Tang Dynasty.
"How did smallpox appear?"
Fang Xuanling was shocked and her voice trembled slightly.
When smallpox appears, the best way is to isolate them from those who come into contact with them and let them live and die.
But how can we isolate an army of 50,000 people?
"Don't worry about the reasons for now, I want to hear the solution!"
Li Shimin said a little impatiently.
Everyone was even more uproar and still shocked.
"Your Majesty, I have ordered that every infected soldier be executed secretly!"
Li Jing suddenly said.
After the words fell, the scene fell into silence.
"No!"
"They are all heroes fighting for the Tang Dynasty. The best they can do is to be isolated."
Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of Punishment, immediately objected.
Many people also nodded and agreed with Liu Zhenghui's idea.
"How to isolate an army of 50,000 people?"
"If the news is leaked during the blockade, the 50,000-strong army will be in chaos. The military orders at that time were bullshit and the people of the world will be harmed!"
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
Isolation can only be used among a small number of people.
When there are too many people, isolation will not work.
When the soldiers knew that one of them had smallpox, they would flee in panic.
If you escape, you will definitely enter a place with people, then the infection will expand and the situation will become more serious.
So serious that it may endanger the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Now I don’t know how many of the 50,000 troops are infected. If all the 50,000 troops are infected, should they all be killed?"
"Also, if the execution of infected soldiers is known to other soldiers, there will also be chaos, and the chaos may even become more serious."
Liu Zhenghui continues to refute Li Jing.
This time, Li Jing just opened his mouth and said no more.
"Is there any other way?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
You can try Li Jing's method to isolate all infections, but it is too extreme and may lead to what Liu Zhenghui said.
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, helpless against the sudden appearance of smallpox.
When smallpox appeared in history, it was either to isolate or to kill the source of infection.
But what to do with the 50,000-strong army now?
"Your Majesty, we have the Medicine King!"
"Is it possible that the Medicine King knows how to cure smallpox?"
Changsun Wuji suddenly said excitedly.
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Fang Yuan.
The rest of the people also looked at Fang Yuan.
"Your Majesty, everyone, what do you think I mean?"
Fang Yuan pursed his lips.
If you think Yao Wang might have a solution, then go to Yao Wang.
"Go, I can't invite the King of Medicine. Please follow me to Fang Mansion."
Li Shimin immediately wanted to invite Sun Simiao.
But before I finished speaking, I changed my mind.
He took Minister Humerus to see Sun Simiao and asked Sun Simiao to take action.
Only in this way can it be shown that Datang valued him and urgently needed his action.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers spoke one after another.
Follow Li Shimin and go to Fang Mansion together.
By the time everyone arrived at Fang Mansion, it was already dark.
Du Miaoyan and others were shocked when they learned that Li Shimin had brought so many ministers.
They all welcomed the arrival of Li Shimin and others.
"Is Doctor Sun back?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"Just came back, in the living room."
Du Miaoyan replied.
Fang Yuan hasn’t said anything yet.
Li Shimin and others walked to Fang Yuan's living room.
Du Miaoyan looked at it with curiosity on her face and asked Fang Yuan what happened.
After listening to Fang Yuan's explanation, Du Miaoyan's expression suddenly changed, and she looked frightened.
"King of Medicine, please save the people of the world!"
As soon as Li Shimin appeared, he said humbly.
"Please ask the King of Medicine to save the people of the world!"
Changsun Wuji and others also saluted.
Sun Simiao originally drank tea at Youzaiyouzai.
When they saw Li Shimin and others coming in, they were immediately surprised.
When he saw the emperor and all the ministers saluting him, he jumped up in fright and spilled tea on his clothes, making them wet.
"Fa, what happened?"
Sun Simiao stammered.
"Smallpox appeared in Hebei, and soldiers among the 50,000-strong army were infected."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"Smallpox?!"
Sun Simiao was shocked and his eyes widened.
