Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 138

Hongpan was soft-spoken, this method of planting vaccinia was simply unheard of, and even more unacceptable, at least in Li Yuquan's case, it made him frown deeply.

"Since it's caused by cow pox, how can people avoid smallpox? It's nonsense." Li Yuquan has already had nasolabial folds on his face, which make him look serious and unapproachable.

Hong Pan blushed, "It would be a good thing if it is done, not to mention using those criminals who committed the most crimes, they are the ones who deserve to die. Uncle, let me try it. I read this method from the book. After it was found, people also went to investigate, and there are such precedents in the suburbs of Beijing. Before the holy ancestor got chickenpox, a shepherd boy who had had cowpox and herded cattle escaped the catastrophe."

Li Yuxi is not as pedantic as Li Yuquan, and is more talkative, and he also helped to say: "Since it is Brother Hongpan's wish, it is just a matter of effort for you. If this matter is accomplished, there will be great benefits. I Knowing that some people who have committed crimes do not live well even in prison, otherwise, if those condemned prisoners are willing to do such an experiment, they should be given a separate prison. In order to avoid the pain of excess flesh and blood, There's always someone willing."

Li Yuxi's idea caught Hong Pangao's eyes. This idea is really good. It even made Hong Pan think about it deeply. If the former Shenlong tastes herbs, if he makes reasonable use of the prisoners in the prison, if he is willing to try , Promising benefits, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

"Okay." When Hong Pan came out of his own thoughts, he happened to hear Li Yuquan's answer.

Hong Pan cupped his hands and bowed to Li Yuquan.

Li Yuquan sighed, "I'm not being pedantic, but I just can't bear to think that dying people will suffer such torture. If I can get them to agree as my little brother said, it's not a bad thing."

Finally figured out a way to get the death row inmates locked up in Zhuangzi. Before the experiments started, they heard that the people in the court decided to elect the eighth elder brother unanimously. The eldest elder brother was so surprised that he immediately lost his composure. Thinking of his good eighth younger brother who has the best hands and eyes, and has become a virtuous king praised by everyone under his nose.He originally thought that the officials would recommend him.

"My good eighth brother." After the next court, the eldest elder brother said this to the eighth elder brother with a livid face, and walked away.

Yinzhen looked at the old nine and the tenth, and the fourteenth younger brother surrounded by the eighth elder brother. Looking at the fourteenth elder brother, there was pure coldness in his eyes. He took a deep look at the group of people and left with a flick of his sleeves. .

There was an uproar in the study room, although they did not witness the situation of the officials recommending the eighth elder brother with their own eyes, everyone spoke vividly, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, but no one dared to say the four words of destiny.It is reasonable for those with quick minds to think of rushing to the eighth elder brother.

Some people showed dissatisfaction with the eighth elder brother, while the other party showed that he could hold a boat in his belly, let the wind flow from east to west, completely different from the previous performance of the deposed prince, and it was praised by people, and the name of the virtuous king was even better for a while .

Hongpan these days the old god is at peace, if someone asks him, he will have a naive expression on his face, as if who is the crown prince has nothing to do with him, many people thought he was stupid, and the current situation confirmed this guess.

The eighth elder brother has not been proud for a long time, but there is a series of scriptures attacking him. Kangxi threw the scriptures to the ground in the court, and it was written by the bitch Xin Zheku.

The eighth elder brother knelt on the ground, his face was as pale as snow, Yin Zhen pulled the corners of his lips, not surprised by the eighth younger brother's performance.

Listening to these words, Hong Pan rested his chin on his hands, thinking that Kangxi was even more ruthless than he imagined.The eighth uncle is where Xinzheku lives, so what about the good concubine who favors Xinzheku?This trick was to scare the chickens and monkeys, simple and rude but very effective. There was no more mention of the recommendation of a virtuous king in the court, but only the references of Daqing, hello, me, and me.

In the court hall, there was rumbling, and everyone was in danger.

It turns out that Hongpan has not been idle these days. After the first three well-built death row inmates did not contract smallpox, Hongpan selected another ten death row prisoners with different physical conditions, including old and young, to verify them one by one. , all of them were not infected with smallpox, and then reported all the data of these experiments to Yinzhen.When Yinzhen first heard about the connection between cowpox and smallpox, his first thought was absurd, and he immediately sank his face, "How can someone get cowpox because of your ridiculous idea! It's not good to make progress." , but you have worked hard on these strange and obscene skills, and Li Cefujin has always let you mess around."

When it came to Li Yunting, Hongpan's expression turned ugly for a moment, but Yinzhen didn't notice it because he lowered his head.

Seeing Hongpan, Yinzhen remained silent, and saw that the eldest son he had hoped for was acting absurdly, why didn't he want to sit in the position of prince!But now there are only two sons, Hong Pan is out of tune, Hong Hui is still young, Yinzhen rubbed his temples, maybe he should put more effort into raising his sons.He opened his mouth and said, "From now on, every five days..."

Hongpan had guessed Yinzhen's unfinished intentions, he didn't want to come to the study, and said quickly: "Son, of course, he dare not say nothing. Ever since he got this method from a foreigner's book, he has many thoughts in his heart. Finally, People went to the outskirts of Beijing to inquire, and sure enough, as foreigners say, after contracting cowpox, smallpox will not recur.”

Yinzhen frowned, and heard Hongpan continue to say: "My son has also used a method, and the corresponding method is in the booklet, please read it."

Yinzhen flipped through the booklet in his hand, the brushstrokes in the booklet were vaguely self-contained, Hongpan's handwriting was very good, he knew it.The inside was cleaned, fumigated with vinegar and garlic liquid, face towels were worn on hands and gloves, many methods were used to prevent people from contracting smallpox, Yinzhen's hands touched the paper, these methods were carefully thought out.Looking back, each page records a prisoner's physical condition, his reaction when he contracted cowpox, and finally his reaction when he was put together with the smallpox disease cloth.

The time and location are recorded in it, and it is extremely detailed, and even the place where these prisoners are currently being held is also clear.

Yinzhen stood up abruptly. This incident could bring him great benefits. Now that the court is sluggish, Kangxi also needs such good news, a great good news, to cheer up everyone.This method of inoculating vaccinia is popularized, so that people will not suffer from smallpox in the future.

"Come find me in the study room after school tomorrow." Yinzhen said, he needs to see for himself whether all this is true, personally test a death row prisoner, and then only need to present this honor to the Holy One.Xu Zhen touched the booklet, and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant. If he is the emperor now, this honor should belong to him.All the people in the world are afraid of smallpox. With this method, what a political achievement!
"My son will leave first." Hongpan said, Yinzhen waved his hand, his mind was full of the matter of vaccinating against smallpox, and he completely forgot the idea of ​​teaching his son himself just now.

Hongpan arrived at Li Yunting's place, acted like a baby to Erniang, and talked about it, "Concubine Wen does have some skills." Hongpan said, "I haven't been able to find the book she mentioned. Erniang helped me. Transcribe this on paper. I'll have to make a copy myself."

Hongpan is not very good at writing with a quill pen. He knows that Er Niang is good at it, so he asks Er Niang to do it.

Li Yunting responded, "It's a good thing if it's done."

"It's natural." Hong Pan said with a smile, but it's a pity that it was Kangxi who got the most benefits. This idea turned in his mind, but the small seeds in his mind broke through the ground and germinated. If the crown prince has been abolished, Ama has a chance. Do I have a chance in the future?
Because of this thought, looking far away, his eyes fell in the direction of Mingyueyuan.

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Hong Pan smiled and suppressed this thought.Thinking about it carefully, after a few elder brothers, Ama has a good chance of winning. After all, she was adopted by the former Queen Tong. If the emperor is willing to establish a heir, her Ama is a good choice.In addition, Kangxi's treasury was empty because of his wars, and he needed people like Ama to collect money for the treasury.

In the next five days, Yinzhen personally verified three death row prisoners, specially selected an elderly man, a thin woman, and a thin man with a cough. These three people just verified the method of vaccinating again feasible.

"Go back to the mansion." Yinzhen said, and every day after the court, he and Hongpan would come to ask about the prisoner's situation. Now all the people are free from smallpox. With a slight smile, "You did a good job this time. You mentioned before that you looked at the papers mixed in the books of foreigners. Did you find them?"

Hongpan nodded, "My son is ready."

After obtaining the prescription imitated by Li Yunting from Hongpan, Yinzhen entered the palace overnight.

"You said this was Hongpan's idea?" Kangxi flipped through the booklet in his hand, and just like Yinzhen, he was amazed at the method on it.Yinzhen also thought about making his own idea, but he has always hated Western studies, which would arouse Kangxi's vigilance, so he let the credit go to Hongpan. I took out the paper and translated it by myself when I was interested.When Hongpan was mentioned, there was a slight smile on Kangxi's face. The boy with a thick head and a thick head was relaxed and happy to get along with, which made him experience the joy of London that was difficult to experience in Tianjia.

Kangxi smiled and said: "Your fourth son, you have always been serious about things, have you verified this matter yourself?" After receiving Yinzhen's affirmative answer, Kangxi's smile became brighter and brighter, and suddenly he felt a pain in his head. , the eyes turned black, dizzy for a while, and the body was about to collapse on the desk as soon as it softened.

"Huang Ama." Yinzhen was shocked, stepped forward and quickly supported the desk.

A eunuch next to him stepped forward, "Your Majesty." The voice was also terrified.

"I'm not in the way." Kangxi said, most of the joy that had just risen from the bottom of his heart dissipated. Even after getting such a prescription, his body is still aging day by day. The imperial doctor said that he needs to restrain his emotional ups and downs.Peace of mind.

Yinzhen also saw that the Holy One had come over, and with a flash of thought, he knelt down in front of Kangxi, kowtowed heavily, and said, "Huang Ama, please take care of your health, all people in the world cannot do without you. My son... also I can't live without you." If there were tears in his eyes, it would be even more sensational.It's just that Yinzhen knew he couldn't do it, so he could only give up.

This sentence greatly touched Kangxi's heart. Firstly, it spoke about the people of Limin, and secondly, it was about father's kindness and son's filial piety. Not everyone was staring at his position closely, so let him relax a little.Kangxi stretched out his hand and squeezed his forehead heavily.Yinzhen noticed that Kangxi's brows were pinched red, which was obviously caused by frequent headaches.

"Okay, I will make a decision on this matter when I go to court tomorrow. It is for the benefit of your boy." Kangxi waved his hand with a tired face, letting Yinzhen leave first.

After going to court on the second day, Kangxi talked about the cowpox inoculation and circulated the booklet to everyone. Everyone was amazed. Seeing Yinzhen's expression immediately changed, when he was electing the prince before, he kept silent. Knowing that such a thing was done.When it was said that Hongpan discovered it, these old foxes didn't believe it, they just thought that Yinzhen had faked Hongpan's reputation.

"Son, the whole family is willing to do this experiment." Yinzhen said when the emperor expressed his intention to promote this method.

This made everyone heave a sigh of relief. Smallpox could be prevented by inoculating vaccinia. Even though the records in the booklet were detailed and well-founded, they still did not dare to experiment by themselves, knowing that only one life is very precious.At this time, Yinzhen stood up, which was expected by everyone.

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, looked at Yinzhen, and murmured slightly: "Since you are so confident, it's up to you to do it."

When Yinzhen came back and told the news, Ulanara was weeping as if struck by lightning, "That's all for me, Honghui is only so old, how could he inoculate that absurd cowpox."

Yinzhen frowned, but explained the benefits of this seriously, and finally said: "I have personally seen people experiment with this method of Hongpan, and it is all right."

Ulanara couldn't listen to Yinzhen's words, only heard the word Hongpan, her face was full of hatred, it involved her precious son, she ignored it and said: "He is the one who wants to kill my son. Sobbing and sobbing, he said cryptically that if Honghui is removed, then Hongpan will have the eldest son, and the house will be full of Hongpan.Li Yunting was also ambitious, and a side Fujin who was born in the Han army also wanted to replace her as the Di Fujin, and finally said: "The prince must be the master for our mother and son, and no one can harm my son."

Ulanara spoke quickly and urgently, and the sharp voice made Yinzhen's brain stunned for a while, and the veins on his head throbbed, "What nonsense?!" Yinzhen shook his sleeves suddenly, his face was ugly, "Ulanara Rashi, do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course I know." Ulanara said bravely, "I can't guarantee my son's life, I can't put him in the slightest danger." Just leave Honghui."

"What I just said about feelings is nonsense, you didn't listen to a single word!" Yinzhen has always respected Ulanara, and at this time he is also a little annoyed at her reluctance, "Honghui is the son of the lord, the lord Will it put him in danger? I have said many times that the vaccination will not be dangerous this time, and it has nothing to do with Hongpan!" Finally, he said: "The emperor has already made a decree on this matter, you have to play tricks , is to disobey the imperial decree. As for the vaccination, if you are worried about the risk, just say that Hong Hui is unwell, and put him at the end."

Yinzhen was already furious, but Wulanara knew that this matter was settled, so he was even more angry with Hongpan. If he hadn't caused some cowpox, Honghui wouldn't have let Honghui take such a risk. Smallpox, said in his mouth: "Big brother is physically strong, why not let big brother be the first person to be vaccinated, so as to dispel the doubts of the servants."

Yinzhen glanced at Ulanara, and said: "I don't want to let the second person hear what you said just now, Ulanara, you have to limit your nonsense. This time, Hongpan and I will be the first to vaccinate. "

While Ulanara breathed a sigh of relief, she became even more resentful towards Hongpan.

Ulanara's speech was related to Honghui, and his words were hissing, vaguely caught by Nian's people, and Nian's head tilted, "You said, she is Di Fujin, why is that so? Stupid?" She wasn't wearing socks, but her tender little feet were dangling back and forth. "If I were Fujin, I would be the first person to inoculate the pox. After I have finished the experiment myself, can I do it for my son? Do you think so, Madam Zheng?"

"Miss is right." Madam Zheng said with a smile, Miss didn't know the importance of a child among women in the backyard, and Fujin just cared too much about her son.

Nian smiled, like a blooming flower, after being nourished by the love of a man and a woman, it was originally a flower that was shyly holding its buds, but now it is in full bloom, and under the flickering lights, it shines in the eyes of Madam Zheng.

After Yinzhen came out from Ulanara's place, he went to Li's place and told about Hongpan's first vaccination, but Li Yunting didn't say anything.Except for the reason of wanting to test, Yinzhen did not say that he would also vaccinate with Hongpan.

Yinzhen sneered and said, "If you don't want to, I can understand."

"It's not that I don't want to." Li Yunting said, "Hongpan has already tried this method, so let him try it first. It's a good thing after all. The people below can rest assured." After thinking about it, Li Yunting said again: "My concubine and Hong Pan will vaccinate together. One is a child and the other is a woman. If the two of us make it through, the rest of the mansion will be relieved."

Yinzhen didn't expect Li Yunting to say such a method, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said silently: "It doesn't have to be like this."

"I'm his mother-in-law, so it's good to be with him." Li Yunting said with a slight smile.

In the end, the three of them were inoculated with vaccinia, because the first inoculated person was not Wulanara, but a side Fujin, which made Fujin feel a little embarrassed and panicked. I don't know if there is any danger, if I also fall down, wouldn't there be no one in the mansion?" It was a fool, but after Honghui had also survived the cowpox, he was relieved first, and he still had hope for Li Yunting. There was more hatred in my heart.

In just one month, all the people in Prince Yong's Mansion had been vaccinated, and none of them had smallpox.

Because of the vaccinia, Yinzhen had a good reputation in the court, but no one mentioned him as the crown prince, and Yinzhen didn't care about it. On the contrary, Nian Gengyao was a little bit aggrieved, which made Yinzhen smile, "I have my own heart." idea."

Nian Gengyao's complexion was slightly gloomy, and Yinzhen didn't seem to notice it, and he was still pushing the cups between the banquets, thinking that Nian Gengyao was just getting a little sweetness, so he began to forget his appearance, although he was a bit talented in military affairs. Point, this is too ignorant.
