Chapter 260 Zhang Nan of Gao Fengliang Festival
Zhang Nan scolded Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng was speechless by Zhang Nan. Li Er was very happy to see him while sitting on the dragon throne. After all, Li Er was still very happy to make this old Wei Zheng so angry that he was defeated.
"Okay, my dear friends, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Qingquan is right. I hope you can remember this matter." Li Er sat above and said, squinting his eyes.
"Abide by Your Majesty's teachings." said the ministers.
"Also, the smallpox incident has been considered successful. However, I really don't know how to reward the great hero behind this. Why don't you all give me some advice?" Li Er said with a smile.
Zhang Nan was also happy when he heard this. It seemed that Li Er had not forgotten his contributions, so Zhang Nan immediately stood up and looked arrogant and said, "Your Majesty, I don't ask for any rewards. The most important thing about smallpox this time is that the people have nothing to do, that is what I am most willing to see." Although Zhang Nan said this, his expression was obviously the way you give me a reward soon.
When Li Er saw Zhang Nan's appearance, he said in surprise: "I didn't say that the biggest contributor this time is you."
When Zhang Nan heard that Li Er had actually killed a donkey, he was not right, and he was immediately dissatisfied with the cattle and killing people. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that. I have thought of this method of growing cowpox. I have no smallpox in the future, but it's all my credit."
When Li Er saw Zhang Nan's appearance of seeking credit and reward, he found it funny. Although Li Er knew that what Zhang Nan said was true, Zhang Nan's contribution this time was too great. This last time he fought against the Turks, he hung a medal of first-class merit on Zhang Nan's chest.
This time, Zhang Nan's contribution to resisting the smallpox was so great that it was beyond reward. This made Li Er very troubled. After thinking hard for several days, Li Er set up the reward for Zhang Nan. He was originally going to give it privately, but because he was afraid that Zhang Nan would show his strength and the big tree would attract the wind and be envied by others, but Zhang Nan has now proposed it on the morning court, which made Li Er a little difficult to do.
"Qingquan, I can't agree with what you said. Although you have come up with a way to grow cowpox this time, I have not seen any results." Li Er stroked his beard and said.
"Why didn't you see it? Your Majesty, isn't it the effect of cowpox when the smallpox didn't spread? " Zhang Nan asked immediately.
At this time, Changsun Wuji saw Li Er glance at him. The monarch and minister who had worked with him for many years had already understood. Changsun Wuji knew that Li Er was asking him to stop Zhang Nan and not to talk about it.
So Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Hey, Qingquan is such a bad word. This time, Qingquan, you said that cowpox can resist smallpox, but is it useful? That's all. The smallpox has not spread, because His Majesty ordered the city gate to be blocked in time, and Sun Zhenren led his disciples to fight smallpox together to fight smallpox together."
Zhang Nan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Fang Xuanling.
"That's right, Lord Changsun is right. Emperor, I think that the first contribution to resisting smallpox this time should be given to Sun Zhenren. As for Qingquan, it is also a meritorious, but for this reward, the old minister thinks it is better to wait until the next smallpox erupts, Qingquan proves that this cowpox can indeed resist smallpox, and it is not too late for the emperor to give it." Fang Xuanling said.
After hearing the words of the two civil officials, Zhang Nan wanted to use a knife stained with the vaccinia virus to give the two masters another knife. When the smallpox exploded next time, Zhang Nan probably would have been lying in the coffin the next time the smallpox exploded, because Li Er had ordered the vaccination of this vaccinia in the entire Tang Dynasty. Now, smallpox will probably become something that will only appear in books after a hundred years.
"Well, the two beloved ministers are right, and I think so too. This time, Master Sun Simiao, the Imperial Physician Department, made great contributions to resisting smallpox. I decided to give a reward of 100 taels and grant Sun Zhenren the second rank to the official position of the Imperial Physician. Well, as for Zhang Nan, he did not know the importance of the court and lost his manners in the palace, and he dared to ask for rewards. I thought it was the first offender, so I would be fined one month to serve as a warning to others. Let's retreat." After Li Er said that, Liu Bing began to shout for retreating to the court at the top of his throat.
When he heard that he had retired from the court, the ministers saluted Li Er first, and then withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall in an orderly manner. However, when Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling passed by Zhang Nan, they patted Zhang Nan on the shoulder at the same time, which made Zhang Nan a little confused.
Just as Zhang Nan was about to go to Li Er to discuss the monthly salary, Liu Bing returned to Tai Chi Hall and arrived at Zhang Nan.
"Mr. Zhang, the emperor has something to tell you, come with our family." Liu Bing said with a smile.
Zhang Nan happened to be looking for Li Er to theory. When he heard Li Er look for him, he nodded and followed Liu Bing to Li Er's Palace of Harmony.
As soon as he entered the Hall of Yangxin, Zhang Nan saw Li Er lying on the hot bed with a "Ge You Paralyzed". Of course, this position can only be called "Li Er Li Perlyzed".
"Qingquan, I didn't say the reward I gave you just now and I also fined you a month's salary. Are you very unhappy?" Li Er said with his eyes narrowed.
"I dare not, the emperor is serious, it is because I am not ruthless." Zhang Nan said this, but his face was full of "yes, yes, yes" expressions.
"Hmph, at this point, you don't have to lie in front of me." Li Er opened his eyes at this time. He looked at Zhang Nan and continued, "Qingquan, do you know how much credit will be if the cowpox you made this time are really effective."
"Your Majesty, I really didn't lie to you. That cowpox can really resist smallpox." Zhang Nan looked unjust. Why did Li Er not believe in the effects of cowpox at this time? Is it so difficult that Li Er would believe it if he had to explode again?
"Okay, if I don't believe it, it's impossible for me to get a knife, nor can I let the queen and the others get such a knife." Li Er said.
In fact, although Li Er said this, he was still skeptical in his heart. However, after seeing the eunuch who was trying to get a knife, he had only had fever for one night and there was no other discomfort, Li Er was also moved. After all, it was possible to resist smallpox after a night of heat. Li Er felt that this business was still profitable. So Li Er was stabbed, Empress Changsun was stabbed, Li Yuan was stabbed, and the seventy-two concubines in the harem were stabbed.
"Your Majesty, you believe that you will also punish your ministers for your salary." Zhang Nan said.
When he heard that Zhang Nan was still thinking about his monthly salary, Li Er was angry and didn't get angry.
"You... are so angry. Tell me about you. Why are you as talented as a businessman? "Li Er said with a look of regret.
