Chapter 1005 Everyone in the capital was terrified
"After the emperor announced the cowpox vaccination method, everyone was questioning whether the cowpox vaccination method was really useful, or was it fake? If it was fake, wouldn't it be fatal?"
Mr. Storyteller continued, "Despite the emperor's repeated assurances that there is absolutely no problem, more than 30 or 40 people have been vaccinated with cowpox. What the emperor has seen with his own eyes, there are still many people who doubt it."
"Your Majesty is worried, how can this be good? This kind of thing that benefits the common people is a great thing, but no one wants to try it. Isn't it a waste of such a good medicine? People who get smallpox every year will still be in groups. Died in batches, the emperor's heart is bleeding, these are his people, he wants to save everyone's life."
Mr. Storyteller's voice was hoarse, and some people started to wipe away tears. The emperor really loves his name like a son.
"The emperor is a benevolent king. Although he was anxious, he didn't want to force others to be vaccinated, but could things just be like this, with no progress? At this time, the eleven-year-old second prince solemnly knelt on the emperor's knees. In front of him, he said with a firm expression, 'Father, my son is willing to give it a try, my son has not had smallpox yet, so he can be vaccinated with cowpox. When the time comes, the father will invite the officials and the common people to witness with their own eyes, and they will definitely believe the father's advice. .'"
"Wow", everyone was stunned.
The second prince? The second prince is actually willing to be the test product in person? ?
This is too bold, isn't it?
Isn't he afraid of failure?
The storyteller was shocked again, "You heard right, the second prince really wants to test it himself. The first prince has survived smallpox, and even if he wants to help, he can't do anything. But the second prince can't, and if he wants to be vaccinated, he must use himself. His life is being gambled. When such shocking actions spread, the whole capital was terrified."
Very good, that's the point.
Gu Yundong upstairs nodded slightly and took a sip of water. She didn't pick the title randomly, it was more appropriate.
The guests in the tea house all widened their eyes, but, isn't it? Not to mention the people in the capital, they were horrified when they heard it.
That is the prince, the second prince is still the direct son, how noble is his status, and he is willing to be vaccinated with cowpox?
Mr. Storyteller took a sip of tea. He was too excited to talk just now, and his throat was a little smokey.
Someone below couldn't help it, and asked cautiously, holding his breath, "Then what happened later, the emperor agreed?"
Mr. Storyteller clicked on him, "Good question, everyone is paying attention to this matter, and it took less than a day for it to shock the government and the public. No one in the capital agreed, and they went to the memorial to beg the emperor to dispel the second prince's thoughts. Even There was that loyal and patriotic minister who brought his son into the palace and asked him to inoculate the cowpox instead of the second prince."
"Guess what the emperor said?" Mr. Storyteller paused, before waiting for anyone to speak, and then continued, "The emperor said that my son is a prince, he is respected by thousands of people, praised by the world, and enjoys rights and food and clothing. Worry, then he should do something for the people of the world. For the sake of the world, I agree with him to personally test the cowpox vaccination method, and you don’t need to persuade him any more, the matter is settled as it is.”
Everyone present sucked in a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, did your Majesty agree to this?"
"The emperor is kind to the world, and to have such a bright ruler is the blessing of the people and the luck of the world."
