After the ceremony, Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, was the first to stand up and fire. I heard him play loudly: "Although your Majesty has collected money to build a glass factory, I can give you more money for your ministers. I am really grateful. You know,
Your Majesty is worried about the emptiness of the treasury, but you don’t know it, thinking that your Majesty is trying to compete with the people for profit. The humble minister is plotting against your majesty, and I beg you to cancel the glass factory to protect your majesty’s prestige and not be misunderstood by the people!”
As soon as he finished speaking, another cabinet minister, Zhang Sizhi, also came out to report: "The East Factory is rampant in lawlessness and harming the people, and has been hated by all the people. But Your Majesty also established the West Factory, and the people all over the world heard about it, and they were all unhappy.
, terrified; although I dare not say anything openly, I don’t know in my heart what I will think of your Majesty’s actions. For the sake of your Majesty’s prestige and for the history books of future generations, I sincerely request your Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly slapped the imperial case and shouted sternly: "That's enough!"
Obviously, Emperor Chongzhen did not listen to their words.
This situation was also within the expectations of these civil servants.
I saw that after hearing Emperor Chongzhen's anger, the civil servants behind him all signaled with their eyes that they were ready to deal with Emperor Chongzhen's anger.
However, before they could take action, they heard Emperor Chongzhen shout in a cold voice: "What I am doing is done with a clear conscience, so what worries do I have?"
After a pause, he saw that someone below seemed to want to repeat his speech, so he rushed to speak again: "What do all the people in the world think of me? I believe that they have eyes, and they will have their own justice when they see what I do!
"
"Your Majesty..." Zhou Yanru heard that something was wrong. Emperor Chongzhen did not follow the several scripts they prepared, so he quickly spoke out, trying to guide Emperor Chongzhen to follow their wishes.
However, as soon as he spoke, he saw Emperor Chongzhen staring at him coldly. That gaze, like a real thing, stung him for a moment, so that he couldn't continue to speak for a while.
After Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhou Yanru, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Come on, the envoy of the imperial hospital!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Wenhua Palace was stunned for a moment. Why did the emperor send the imperial envoy to the imperial hospital to do something? It’s not like there is no imperial envoy to do anything!
As soon as the voice fell, there was movement at the entrance of the hall, but it was Wang Chengen, the admiral of the West Factory, who entered the Wenhua Hall with the envoy from the Taiyuan Hospital, followed by a little chamberlain carrying a plate.
In this situation, you can tell at a glance that he has been waiting at the door for a long time.
All the civil servants were a little curious, what kind of drama was the emperor doing? What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?
"Ping Shen!" Emperor Chongzhen saw the imperial hospital envoy greeting him and asked in a gentle tone, "But are everything ready?"
"I'm ready to reply to Your Majesty!" The Imperial Hospital's ambassador's face turned pale, and there was a little tremor in his voice as he answered, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid... I'm brave, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
After saying that, his legs went weak and he knelt down, even kowtowing "bang bang bang".
Listening to the sound of the kowtow, it was the kind of real kowtow that would bleed.
This situation once again caused the officials above the fifth rank in the palace to look at each other in confusion, wondering what was going on?
The unexpected situation in front of them made all of them dare not say what they wanted to say, or some people were simply confused by what was happening in front of them.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, his face immediately darkened and he said seriously: "You are following my will. I am not afraid of you. What are you afraid of? Stand up!"
After speaking, the voice was already very stern.
When the envoy from the Taiyuan Hospital heard this, he understood that the emperor had made up his mind and it was not something he could change, so he had no choice but to stand up.
The civil servants who were close saw that a bag had been kowtowed on the forehead of the dean of the Taiyuan Hospital.
It seems that the kowtow just now was really very hard. If the emperor didn't stop it, blood would probably be drawn by now.
In this way, they will be even more curious about what happens next!
At this time, they heard Emperor Chongzhen say to them with a very serious expression: "With the help of Emperor Taizu's treasure, I have learned the solution to the plague of smallpox. From now on, all people in the world will no longer suffer from smallpox!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately dumbfounded?
What? What? What did the emperor say just now?
Can smallpox be cured? Is this impossible? Over the past thousands of years, there have been countless famous doctors, but there is still no cure for smallpox!
If smallpox could be cured, this would be great news and a real good thing that would benefit all people!
Of course, in addition to people who have this idea, there are also people who pay attention to the emperor and say that it is the help of Emperor Taizu's treasure?
What is this? Could it be that Emperor Taizu really had the ability to manifest spirits?
…
Everyone in the Wenhua Palace was a little confused. For a moment, they no longer cared about the purpose of standing in the palace.
He Fengsheng, one of the cabinet ministers, asked in a surprised tone: "Your Majesty, can smallpox really be cured?"
Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded and said: "It can't be cured!"
"..." After hearing his answer, not only He Fengsheng, but also other civil servants were all dumbfounded.
What does it mean?
Can't be cured? Then why did you say that smallpox can be cured? Moreover, He Fengsheng asked if smallpox can be cured, and the emperor nodded!
For a moment, they were all confused. What was going on?
When Emperor Chongzhen saw their expressions, he suddenly felt a sense of dominance and no longer had the feeling of being led by them!
But now business was important, so he did not continue to play with these ministers, and immediately said to them: "Smallpox cannot be cured, but it can be prevented. As long as you are vaccinated with cowpox in advance, you will never get smallpox!"
Hearing this, although the tone was very affirmative, these civil servants all looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.
"Your Majesty, I have read a lot of books and have never heard of anything like this!" He Fengsheng said quickly, "Has anyone ever used this method?"
Hearing this, everyone's attention was focused on the present.
Because smallpox concerns everyone, they can't help but care about it.
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head after hearing this and replied: "No one has used it yet."
Upon hearing this, He Fengsheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It turned out to be something that had not been confirmed before, so he said: "Your Majesty, in that case, let's wait until the proof is really useful!"
Many people nodded after hearing this, and some even returned to their original purpose.
But at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen was heard saying seriously: "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Every day it is delayed, some of my people will be harmed by smallpox and their families will be destroyed. I can't wait! In order for all people in the world to believe in this method,
Available. I will vaccinate cowpox by example in front of all of you today!"
