Chapter 1293: A New Way to Canonize
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, at first glance, he was immediately dumbfounded there.

Although Chen Shigong is old, he still remembers very clearly that the emperor sitting on it smiling at him is the young man who has been to his own village and talked with him for a long time!
By the way, whoever said that there is Jin Yiwei next to him, then he must be a member of Jin Yiwei?He can also be the master of Jinyiwei!
Thinking of this, Chen Shigong couldn't help blaming himself secretly. How could he be so old and dim that he couldn't even recognize the real dragon emperor when he was in front of him!
As he was thinking, a servant had already moved a round stool wrapped in satin to his side, signaling him to sit down.

Chen Shigong came back to his senses, and immediately thanked him excitedly.At this time, he was very fortunate that he agreed to the emperor's request and became the leader of this matter!
Next, there is nothing to say, after all, the "mastermind" behind this incident is the emperor sitting on the throne.According to the script, the play continued. Emperor Chongzhen asked about the situation, and Chen Shigong made a statement.In the end, Emperor Chongzhen said that there was a specialization in surgery, and sent the imperial doctor to ask about the situation in public.

I heard Emperor Chongzhen solemnly say to Chief Assistant Wen Tiren: "Since this is true, it concerns the future of our Ming Dynasty. We must immediately correct the bad habits of the past! Wen Qing, led by the cabinet, led by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, amended the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" and put These contents are written into the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", and after I have read it without any problems, I will immediately promulgate it to the world!"

In fact, although Wen Tiren didn't know what happened before, he knew about Emperor Chongzhen.As soon as I paid attention to this matter, I thought of the emperor's southern tour, and I knew that behind this matter was actually the intention of the emperor himself.Now that the momentum has been established, there is nothing more to say.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren stepped forward and said: "This humble minister leads the decree!"

Faintly, he still has a feeling.The emperor's intention should have been there a long time ago.Because the emperor reformed the household registration system before, the matter of marriage was also brought under the jurisdiction of the government, and a marriage certificate was required.Only after registering with the government and writing it into the new household registration information can the marriages of Ming people be considered protected by the government.

With this premise, in the future, the local governments will follow the new "Law of the Ming Dynasty" to follow, and those who are under the legal age will not be processed.

Without this premise, even though there is a law, it is difficult to enforce it.

Emperor Chongzhen then turned his head to look at Chen Shigong, and said enthusiastically: "The old man's incident this time is beneficial for the present, and the merits will be for the future. I will not hesitate to reward such a contribution. This is good..."

He pondered for a moment, then continued: "Chen Shigong listens!"

When Chen Shigong heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He was about to kneel down to listen to the seal, but was stopped by Emperor Chongzhen.With one mouth open, an earl smashed at Chen Shigong.

This reward immediately shocked everyone.They didn't expect that Chen Shigong could get an earl because of this, which was really surprising.

In the ranks of generals, Zu Dashou stared at the old Chen Shigong, feeling extremely jealous.As a general, he longed for a title, so how could he be obtained by an old man?

Feeling unwilling, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the general thinks it's wrong!"

"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen made noises when he heard it, obviously a little unhappy.

Zu Dashou heard it, but now that he was out of the queue, he bit the bullet and continued to play: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral system, non-military merit cannot be conferred a knighthood! Doctor Chen has not obtained military merit..."

Hearing that this was the case, Emperor Chongzhen scanned the queue of generals and saw that many generals seemed to be ready to move, so he immediately interrupted Zu Dashou, and said in a cold voice: "It's okay to confer a title for military merit! Then I ask you, is it enough to make the people of Daming smarter and healthier, to benefit countless women in Daming, and to prevent countless families from being ruined? I can tell you clearly, if a Compared with the military exploits of a general who opened up territories and the countless achievements of a doctor, I would rather not open up territories! Moreover, I told Zu Qing that your family will also benefit from his proposal. So, Sir Do you understand?"

The emperor has already made his words very clear, so who can have any doubts?
If it was the original Emperor Chongzhen who had no prestige, then these generals might still want to argue.However, today's Emperor Chongzhen is so powerful that it has never been seen before.Having said that clearly, who would dare to object again.It's not to say that in the future, military merits cannot be knighted, this is the fundamental interest of those who use martial arts.After this incident got out, others would only say that Zu Dashou was stingy.

In the final analysis, the title of the emperor is only the emperor's family business.Because the honorary salaries with titles and so on are all taken from the internal treasury and do not go through the national treasury.Whoever the emperor wants to be knighted can be knighted.

To be honest, the idea of ​​conferring military merits is untenable. In the Ming Dynasty, relatives could be conferred nobles. Also, the children of powerful ministers, such as Wei Zhongxian and the beauties of the Hakka family, were conferred nobles, but they did not end well. .

The civil servants on the side would rather be granted more titles by the emperor. In this way, maybe when the emperor is happy, he can also confer titles on the civil servants. Wouldn't it be great!
Therefore, Zu Dashou didn't dare to argue anymore, Nuonuo withdrew.

Chen Shigong couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw that the matter had come to a conclusion.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored him, took advantage of this topic, and said solemnly to the officials: "I'll just talk about it here. If someone has made outstanding contributions to Ming Dynasty, no matter what it is, I will reward you with a knighthood." . If there is something you don’t understand, I can give you a few examples.”

Hearing this, all civil and military officials, including those maids in the palace, couldn't help but pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"For example, if a child dies young, smallpox is the main culprit. If anyone can offer a good plan to the court to permanently solve the smallpox problem, I will definitely confer a knighthood to thank you!"

Smallpox is one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate, and it is very contagious.In ancient times, regardless of the royal relatives, or civilian beggars, they were all afraid of smallpox, because there was basically no solution.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, there had already been vaccination methods, which were divided into two types: the dry seedling method and the water seedling method, which originated in the south of the Yangtze River during the Longqing period.However, both of these vaccination methods have great risks.

In the original history, even in the Manchu Qing period, there was no good way.Among the grandsons of the Manchu emperors, many died of smallpox.During the same period, even in Europe, a large number of people died of smallpox every year.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen took smallpox, the infectious disease that the ancients feared most, as an example.

In the original history, humans could effectively prevent smallpox, and it was not until the last few years of the eighteenth century that the British doctor Edward Jenner discovered the solution of vaccinia.

In the main hall, after Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, no one refuted, but they were all in a daze.It has to be said that the words of Emperor Chongzhen are very novel and unprecedented.The new path to knighthood was revealed in front of their eyes.

When they came back to their senses, the civil and military officials, the maids and others had to admit, or rather, they all longed for such a person to appear and solve this damned smallpox. In this way, they themselves, All their descendants will no longer be threatened by smallpox.

In the silence of the hall, suddenly Cao Huachun, the eunuch with the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, was the first to come out, knelt down and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty's holy heart is generous, and it is indeed a blessing for all people!"

This movement brought all the officials back to their senses.Shoufu Wen Tiren slandered in his heart, you are an eggless person, you can always take the first place in flattering and claiming credit.

If news of today's matter spreads, anyone who opposes this kind of knighthood will definitely be scolded to death by the people outside, and will even be scorned by their family members when they go home.Supporting this kind of knighthood is the most famous opportunity, who can miss it?

Therefore, after Cao Huachun, the first assistant Wen Tiren and others, all the civil and military officials of the court, all knelt down and said: "Your Majesty's sacred heart is generous, and it is indeed a blessing for all people!"

Emperor Chongzhen continued with a serious face, but continued: "There are other particularly dangerous cases, such as epidemic diseases, whoever can solve them, I will confer titles on them. In the future, anyone who will benefit my Ming Dynasty will benefit thousands of sons and daughters." People, for the contribution of my descendants of the Ming Dynasty, I will confer titles on them!"

The febrile plague is actually the plague, which is the Black Death in Europe. This infectious disease is also very harmful.The demise of Ming Dynasty, in fact, was also thanks to the plague to a certain extent.When Li Zicheng led the army to attack the capital, it happened that the plague broke out in the capital, and almost all the soldiers defending the city were recruited.The capital was unable to defend at all, so it was easily captured by Li Zicheng.

In addition, there is another saying that Li Zicheng's army fought against the Manchus immediately, and fought a tough battle in Shanhaiguan, but then they were defeated like a mountain, and there was no decent resistance at all.Could it be that Li Zicheng's other troops are all shit?Obviously not!But after Li Zicheng's army entered the capital, they were also infected with the plague, but it was still in the incubation period in the early stage, and it broke out later, making Li Zicheng's army unable to resist.

However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was out of shit luck. Knowing this situation, they avoided the capital and did not enter.By the time they entered Beijing, the weather had cooled down, and the spread of the plague had been reduced to a minimum.

Of course, these are off topic.At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, seeing all the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty lying there, simply did not do anything, and continued to say loudly: "I believe that the application of the steam engine is obvious to all, and its contribution to my Ming Dynasty is not insignificant. If this steam engine was invented by someone else, I would definitely confer a knighthood on it."

No way, the steam engine was invented by Emperor Chongzhen himself. Could it be possible to follow the example of Emperor Zhengde, who named himself a general, and then led his troops to the expedition, and awarded himself a title as a reward for inventing the steam engine?
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he looked at Wen Tiren and said, "Wen Qing, the cabinet will draw up an order to announce my intention to the world. I am willing to be ennobled. Make the greatest contribution to the well-being of my Daming!"

"My minister obeys the decree!" Wen Tiren responded loudly, there was nothing to say, there must be a decree.He can be sure in his heart that the names of the people who drafted the decree will be handed down to future generations, so he decided to write it himself.

Then this matter was settled like this. After the dynasty was dispersed, the whole capital was once again a sensation.

Originally, the people in the capital were bored and were all paying attention to Chen Shigong's public letter. As soon as the news of the court meeting came out, they knew it immediately.

"Really? The imperial doctor is sure that the emperor was right at the first time? Doesn't that mean that those things are true?"

"If it's not true, how can it be possible that all famous doctors in the world have the same attitude? If it's not true, no one in the civil and military society of the Manchu Dynasty will object? If it's not true, the emperor will approve me to do this after Ming Dynasty?"

"Fortunately, my daughter is not married yet. No, I have to talk to my in-laws about postponing the wedding. She's too young now!"

"..."

After knowing the result of what they were concerned about, the subsequent news shocked them even more.

"What? The famous doctor Chen Shigong was knighted by the emperor?"

"Nonsense, the news is absolutely true. At first, I didn't believe it. It was said by an adult in my family. There can be no falsehood!"

"I'll tell you, the emperor said that anyone who can cure smallpox, epidemic disease and other diseases will definitely be conferred a knighthood! By the way, there are other things, as long as we can make the people of Ming Dynasty healthy and healthy, the merit will last for thousands of years and benefit future generations His Majesty will confer a knighthood on any matter. This matter, there will be an imperial decree spread all over the world in the future!"

"Wow, waiting for a knighthood, such a high reward? It's never been done before. The emperor really broke his heart for us Ming people!"

"That's not true. You see, the emperor has always been pretending to be us. We are really lucky to meet such a good emperor in our life!"

"..."

After hearing the news, all the people, without exception, are grateful for the emperor's sacred heart and kindness, for the country and the people, and the emperor's prestige has been raised to a higher level.At the same time, the temptation of being knighted has also stimulated all the people.One by one, it was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, thinking of doing something to come out, without fighting, maybe they could be knighted!
Such a thing of honoring the ancestors seems to be no longer far away from ordinary people!
Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the Forbidden City, also knew the situation outside through the chat group and the news from the factory guard.In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly.He felt that Chen Shigong's example was not enough, and another example had to be set for the world.

As the use of achievement points increased, his memory became better and better, and he recalled all the things in the corners and corners in the memory of later generations.For example, although he did not know that British doctors had discovered the prevention of smallpox vaccination, he read historical online articles in later generations, and there was a plot of vaccination written in the book.

There is only one executor needed for this matter!
