The Supreme Prosecutor of the Tang Dynasty

Smallpox is a highly contagious plague, and... the mortality rate is horribly high!

Throughout the dynasties, one of the plagues that emperors were most afraid of was smallpox! It can even be said that there is no one... smallpox not only has a high fatality rate, but is also terrifyingly contagious!

After learning that the plague that broke out this time was smallpox, both the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and Li Er's complexions darkened. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

"smallpox?"

Even... Chen Qiu's expression darkened.

As a modern person, his understanding of smallpox is obviously deeper! But because of this, he truly knows how terrible smallpox is!

Smallpox , is a severe infectious disease caused by smallpox virus infecting people. After recovery, you can obtain lifelong immunity.

Smallpox is one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate. It is highly contagious and severe. If you have never had smallpox or have not been vaccinated Anyone who has been vaccinated against smallpox can be infected. The main manifestations are severe viremia and high mortality after infection.

The most basic, effective and simple prevention method is vaccination with cowpox. The clinical manifestations of smallpox include severe and mild. Severe smallpox The case fatality rate is about more than a quarter!

The case fatality rate of mild smallpox is only about 1%.

But the problem is... the smallpox virus is a type of pox virus. There is no specific medicine to treat people after they are infected. After the patient recovers, his face There will be pockmarks left on the skin, hence the name"smallpox".

The smallpox virus is highly resistant and can withstand dryness and low temperatures. It can survive on scabs, dust and clothes for several months to a year and a half.

In the air , dust, and clothes, it can last for several months plus a year and a half!!!

You can imagine how contagious this thing is!

If smallpox is mild, that's fine, not too many people will die. , even if there are many infections, at most everyone will be left with pockmarks on their faces, and those who die are considered bad luck...

But obviously, this outbreak is severe smallpox!

The mortality rate is more than a quarter!

If effective measures cannot be taken, I am afraid that after a period of time, the population of Youzhou and Bingzhou will decrease by more than a quarter!

Even if you are unlucky and the smallpox virus spreads to other states... who knows how many people will die!

Chen Qiu knew very well about the smallpox virus, and it was precisely because of this that he had an extremely headache at this moment. The headache is that there is no specific medicine to treat the smallpox virus even in modern times, let alone now?

This thing is in In modern times, we can only rely on vaccination to achieve immunity, but there are no specific drugs to treat... It is difficult to develop drugs in modern times. In this era, who the hell can cure it?

Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed miraculous, but smallpox... There is no cure at all!

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any effective medicine until modern times.

"Doctor Liu, are you... really helpless?"

Li Er closed his eyes, unable to ask...

He was full of expectations and hoped that Dr. Liu could tell him that there was a way!

But... where is the way?

Dr. Liu smiled bitterly and did not dare to get up, almost lying on the ground. Said:"Your Majesty... I am incompetent. I am sick with smallpox. I am really helpless.""

"For the current plan, I... can only suggest that Your Majesty summon all the imperial doctors in the entire imperial hospital, and even extraordinary people among the people, to discuss ways to treat smallpox."

"But...I still have to say, even so...basically, it is difficult to find any good solution"

"I can only... try my best."

Mr. Liu smiled bitterly, and at the same time, he was also worried in his heart. He smiled bitterly because he really had nothing to do. And he knew very well that it was not just him, but all the imperial doctors, and even the doctors among the people, there was nothing they could do!

Smallpox!

This thing has been around for many years, but no one has ever been able to cure it!

Yes, some people will not die even if they are infected with smallpox, but is that because they were cured? Then it is obvious that they survived on their own!

If it was cured, why would people still have pockmarks on their faces after they came back to life?

There was no cure at all!

What he was afraid of was that Li Er would be angry with himself.

After all, as an imperial physician, he said that there was nothing he could do. Once Li Er If he loses his temper, he may lose his life.

However, he can only say what!

If not, what else can he do? Nonsense? Nonsense?

Saying it can be cured? If it can't be cured later, wouldn't it be deceiving the emperor? What crime? Not only will he die, but his family may also be buried with him!

He... can only tell the truth!

"Try your best?

Li Er had a sullen face and slowly shook his head:"A dead horse becomes a living horse doctor?" This is not what I want to hear!"

However, Li Er did not vent his anger on Imperial Physician Liu. Li Er did not know how difficult smallpox was, so it was useless to vent his anger on Imperial Physician Liu!

Even if Imperial Physician Liu was killed, or even the entire Imperial Hospital, smallpox would not be conquered. If it is cured, it will be cured!

"Dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Er looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, with a very complicated mood, but also with a trace of hope...

Smallpox... This thing is tricky, very tricky! The entire Taiyuan Hospital can't handle it, and there is no way. For now, , I can only hope that other ministers can come up with some ideas!

Even if they are not imperial doctors, but... even if they just know that a certain strange person has extraordinary medical skills, it is a great achievement!

As long as this strange person really has a way, what did Li Er say? I have to invite people!

However, in the face of Li Er's inquiry, all civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads. No one dared to look at Li Er...

Who dared to look at Li Er at this damn time? Jumping out to find boredom?

Smallpox! That's fucking smallpox!

Who doesn't know how powerful smallpox is? The plague that broke out in Bingzhou in Youzhou was smallpox! What can we do? If we had a way, we wouldn't just stand there like this Are you here, okay?

The civil and military officials in the court smiled helplessly, and no one dared to say a word...

Li Er looked over one by one, but found that no one dared to look at him, and his mood instantly became much heavier.

Until... He looked When Chen Qiu arrived, standing in the middle, he finally felt a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of Chen Qiu's many miraculous performances recently, Li Er thought for no reason that if someone could solve smallpox... then this person would probably not be Chen Qiu. Is it the right one?

So, Li Erlian calmed down and said:"Chen Aiqing, you……"

"His Majesty……"

Chen Qiu rolled his eyes and felt helpless:"Smallpox is one of the severe plagues that has existed since ancient times. Even if you ask me, I will tell you……"

"Um?"

When the words came to his lips, Chen Qiu was suddenly stunned, because...a voice suddenly appeared in his mind!
