Chapter 279

The Chinese New Year in the barracks will not be too delicate, but lively enough.

Everyone cleans the camp and hangs quilts and clothes to dry.Also simply posted a pair.

It is impossible to have many tricks in eating, but during the two days of New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, everyone in the camp has meat to eat.

This year, Su Nancheng and Fei Jiu paid for it personally, adding some more, so that everyone can share a lot of food.

Alcohol is not allowed, even if Fei Jiu wants to drink, he has to go out to drink.

But Su Nancheng asked someone to buy a few sheep to make soup, bones and sliced ​​meat, at least one bowl for each person.

With the sound of firecrackers in the city below, the soldiers in the camp celebrated the New Year happily.

Since the afternoon, there have been big soldiers coming to kowtow to Su Nancheng in twos and threes.

Thank him for saving his life, more and more later.

After all, it was Lord Su who brought the method of inoculation, which saved everyone from death. His lord's blessing is worthy of kneeling.

Inventing a life-saving drug, even in the era of a thousand years later, will be famous for thousands of years, let alone now?
Today there are too many diseases that cannot be cured, but there is nothing more terrible than smallpox, the first of all diseases.

But this smallpox was suppressed by Mr. Su's method.

The people in the military camp, even if there is no myth about Su Nancheng, they have already respected him as a god-man.

With such a feat, it is more useful than anything else.The soldiers of Xiongshan Pass will always remember him.

It's a new year, and Su Nancheng is going back to Beijing.

Cheng Ming has already set off, and the two of them will meet in the capital, one is due north and the other is northeast, so it is inconvenient to wait on the road.

The day Su Nancheng left was the third day of junior high school.It snowed heavily.

Many soldiers in the barracks were reluctant and sent them far away.Some younger ones cried.

Fei Jiu looked at him: "Take care all the way, and write a letter when you get back."

"Actually, I really want to stay with you, but there are wives and children in the capital, so I can't let go. Don't talk too much, general, take care of yourself." Su Nancheng clasped his fists.

"Okay, everything is up to me, go back with peace of mind." Fei Jiu patted him on the shoulder: "Go back."

Su Nancheng took a deep breath, and turned to the generals behind Fei Jiu: "Everyone stay behind, and Nancheng has benefited a lot from getting along with each other for a short time. Take care, generals, and we will see you later."

"There will be a period later." Everyone clasped their fists at him.

Su Nancheng got on his horse, left Xiongguan behind, and walked towards the way he came.

Imperial physician Mei and his team can't go back for the time being, they are now in Xiongshan County, giving instructions on how to vaccinate the local area.

Without these imperial doctors, I don't have anything to bring, and the way back is not so urgent.

It passes through Yuping Prefecture, crosses the Fen River, and goes south all the way.

Finally, at the end of the first month, on the 28th, I arrived in the capital.

The prince greeted him personally, and Su Nancheng got off his horse and knelt down, but before he knelt down, he was supported by the prince's guards.

"Commander Su has made great achievements this time, and the emperor specially ordered Gu to come here to greet him. Commander Su really doesn't need to be too polite. I have prepared drinks, and I invite Commander Su to have a drink." There is a long shed built outside the city gate. This time it is not What refugees, but people in the palace, they brought royal wine.

After Su Nancheng drank, he entered the palace with the crown prince and several officials from the Ministry of Rites.

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty, I am fortunate that I did not disgrace my life." When Su Nancheng met Emperor An, it was naturally a great gift.

"Chiyu, you have made great achievements! Smallpox has been a terminal disease since ancient times, and you have almost died. Looking at the ancient and modern times, what are the consequences of contracting this disease in the military camp. I didn't expect you to be able to prevent this disease. I want to reward you, Big reward to you."

Emperor An had already said these words in his letter to Su Nancheng, and now he said them again, which shows that he is really sincere at this time.

"I don't dare, it's my duty to share my worries for Your Majesty. It's also an ancient book that I occasionally got, but unfortunately the ancient book has been burned. I beg Your Majesty to forgive my previous crime of not reporting it." Su Nancheng said respectfully.

"You, you, you are honest, too honest. You didn't report this prescription to me, but you tried the medicine yourself, regardless of life and death, what could be more convincing than this? Su Qing, don't worry, You only have credit for going out this time, no crime!" An Di smiled, and personally helped him up.

"I will pass on my decree to give Su Qing a first-class marquis, Dingxianghou! I will also reward Dingxianghou with ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand bolts of silk. I will reward Dingxianghou's wife with a set of pearls, gems, tortoiseshell agate, and head and face. I will reward Dingxianghou's mother with rubies." , a set of red agate head and face, and four pieces of silk and satin each."

"Your Majesty!" Su Nancheng knelt down again: "I beg Your Majesty to take back the reward. I dare not accept it even if I die. If you have merit for what I have done this time, it is because your Majesty has trusted me. If you indulge me, I will never accept it." Dare to ask for such a heavy grace. I beg Your Majesty to take it back, otherwise I will not dare to accept it even if I kneel to death today."

Cheng Kanghou and Su Yingqu also knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please take your Majesty back. Since ancient times, officials have been ennobled, how dare they use the words 'ding' and 'zhen' lightly? Although Nancheng has a little skill, it is because of His Majesty's trust in him. He should be smashed to pieces to repay His Majesty's grace. So important I beg Your Majesty to take back the reward."

"Please take it back, Your Majesty." Su Yingqu followed suit.

The three generations of important officials of the Su family all knelt down and refused such a reward.

The people who watched were also tsk tsk in their hearts. They insisted not to accept such a kindness in front of them. This Su family is really amazing.

Emperor An frowned and said, "No way! Last time I was going to grant him a marquis, but the teacher didn't allow it. This time, I can't listen to you. As for the word 'Dingxiang', Ding means stability and guarding, and Xiang is Assist the assistant. I just want him to stay in the capital, guard my imperial city, and guard my palace, so that I can sleep peacefully."

"Your Majesty..." Su Nancheng called out.

The emperor raised his hand: "You are not joking, these two words must never be changed."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Su Nancheng had no choice but to thank him.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing else, the treasury is short of money now. I don't want a cent of the gold. If your Majesty wants to give it, I will definitely not get up this time." Su Nancheng said again.

"Hahaha, it's fine, it's fine if I don't give it to you. I'm sorry. Get up, go back and rest first, come to the palace at night, and I will give you a banquet." An Di waved his hands and smiled.

"Thank you again, Your Majesty." Su Nancheng saluted and got up, and left with the Su family.

Now, he is a first-class marquis, and it is absolutely impossible to bypass him in the Su family.

After leaving the palace, he took the carriage with his grandfather and father.

"Good boy, you've kept it a secret, using such a desperate method." Su Yingqu also said happily.

"I've made my grandfather and father worry." Su Nancheng's attitude was acquiescing.To avoid the trouble of explaining.

"It's really a risk. If you fail, how will you explain it? This matter, you took the risk." Cheng Kanghou said.

Times are limited, and it is impossible for them to know about cowpox.
