Reborn in the last years of Kangxi, the tenth volume of the Dragon Dance - the eleventh volume of the Ten Thousand and Sixty-eighth Chapter of the Emperor's Heart

Threatened, the seventh elder brother did not stay in Ganzhou for a long time, and with Cao Xian wandering around Ganzhou, he was not benevolent... Seeing the scenery of the northwest, he returned to Beijing with his guards and entourage.

Naturally, he left behind two brothers, Guangsheng and Yuesheng.

Cao asked them if they remembered their origins. What is the name of the parents and where they live? The two brothers don't remember it really, but they can roughly say their origins and surnames.

The brother was a native of Schoara, and both parents died when he was six years old. Sold by his uncle to a merchant on the dock. Then he was taken to Guangzhou, locked up in the garden and raised for several years, and then was bought by an official and given to the seventeenth elder brother.

Suzhou is the Thailand of later generations, and there are many sea ships in Guangzhou.

If it is the children of good families, Cao Mei still wants to wait for them to be older. and they were arranged to return to Tura. Since he is an orphan, it is better to stay in the Cao family than to be in duckweed, but the capital in October is not peaceful.

Due to the continuous natural disasters in the north in recent years, it is either early or this autumn there are maggots and hail. This has made people's livelihood difficult, and the people have fled the famine.

Hungry people in Shandong, Zhili, Shanxi and other places. All need the imperial court to transfer grain for relief. Only Henan, because Henan Province has grain reserves. The people are still struggling to make ends meet.

Many people are hungry in Zhili, and they are under the pressure of hunger and cold. Unable to wait for the imperial court to help, a large number of people poured into the capital.

From the beginning of October together. The household department set up a porridge factory in the five cities to give porridge.

After a dry autumn, it began to snow heavily in the capital in winter.

On the third day of the first month of October, it snowed heavily for a day and night, and the nobles in the inner city did not stop, but they burned all the earth dragon artillery and added a few charcoal basins; The poor people in Nancheng took their lives.

According to the statistics of Shuntianfu, the heavy snowfall on the third day of October alone crushed more than 300 houses, killed and injured nearly 100, and froze to death dozens of homeless beggars.

The Beijing Teahouse Restaurant, when it comes to this matter, is all about talking and stopping, and covering it up. In the final analysis. The crowd still decided that "it is against heaven and peace." Four words.

In less than a year's effort, an emperor, a queen mother, and a prince died, and I am afraid that many people have slandered in their hearts. The emperor on the dragon chair is really a hard-nosed person.

Shengdou Xiaomin, who doesn't know the major events of the court, only cares about the rain and snow crops, and the good or bad of the year; The powerful people know more, and they still remember the blockade of the nine gates when the emperor died a year ago.

Although no one dares to say it openly, when colleagues gossip and relatives discuss, some people rarely gasp twice.

The atmosphere in the capital, for a while, became strange.

No one dares to offend Tianwei and go to the palace to make irresponsible remarks; But it also made more and more people silent. Maybe they don't know what they're waiting for.

On the seventh day of the first month of October, the letter of the acting Tianfu Mansion Yin caused turbulent waves again.

Ran Cheng is now suffering from Yuhua, and one person has died.

In the capital, smallpox has not been prevalent for several years.

This thing is not divided between rich and poor. If you get infected, you will die. Adults are still strong, and they have to survive the past, if the elderly and children are infected, they will have to resign themselves to fate.

The imperial court has decreed that sick patients in the family should be exempted from half a month.

Speaking of the drought and natural disasters in the north, everyone can still watch the excitement and gloat. If today's flowers are coming, everyone is in danger.

Everyone stared at Shuntianfu and saw where the smallpox was spreading.

Those who have plans to visit relatives and friends have been confined to their homes recently. Rarely go out and about.

As feared, smallpox spread in the capital. At first, there were only cases in the outer city, and three days later there were two active cases in the inner city.

Although it cannot be said that everyone is in danger, they are also closed and sheltered, and they live a life of hard work.

South Garden, Ranch.

Looking at the nearly 100 cows in front of him, the thirteenth elder brother's eyes widened: "This is, this is"

He wanted to ask if this was prepared by the imperial father before. When the words came to his mouth, he changed his words: "When did the emperor prepare this, but it looks like a lot?" ”

Yongzheng wore his uniform, stood aside, and said: "I prepared at the end of last year, and there were only a dozen heads at the beginning, thinking that if there was a pox in the spring, it would be distributed to the hundred official clans." The result is not on. Over the course of this year, I have raised more than 100 heads

When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, his heart moved, turned around, and said with a little excitement: "The emperor's intention is to take this" cowpox. Promote the world? ”

Yongzheng snorted coldly and said, "I know that some villains have been using the homeless people to talk about things recently, slandering me for not being virtuous enough. I want to see if I deserve to be the emperor if I have done this benevolent government of the living people."

He has been on the throne for less than a year, but he looks like he is several years old.

I slept for two hours a day, did not arrange any parade pleasures, and spent every penny of the treasury on the construction of people's livelihood.

Since the first day of October, the five cities have given porridge, and the palace has also cut the cost. Since the emperor and queen, each meal does not exceed ten dishes.

The money and grain saved are also sent to the porridge factory. to make up for the shortage of money and food in the household department.

How many emperors have been able to do this?

The thirteen elder brothers who came to watch were also wronged for him.

"They are all villains who can't be on the stage, and the emperor doesn't have to take it to heart. With this benevolent government, the emperor is destined to leave a name in history and achieve the name of a generation of benevolent monarchs. Admired by all the people of the world! "Thirteen Elder Brother said.

Yongzheng shook his head and said, "I can't be this Renjun!" I don't ask for the last two either. It doesn't matter if I am a strict monarch or a benevolent monarch, as long as I do my duty and only let the surname please the good days, this is the foundation of inheriting our Qing Dynasty inheritance.

。 In the end, with a bit of firmness.

The thirteenth elder brother knew that although he, the emperor's brother, was a little moody, he was not a reckless person, and he would never let out the killer copper of cowpox for a few gossips in the city.

If it was as expected, it was the batch of tobacco and soil paste transported from Yunnan, which gave the emperor a way to weaken the strength of the Mongols. Only then did he put aside his concerns and decided to promote this "cowpox" method.

There are pox doctors in Tai Hospital, and there are also doctors who vaccinate "human pox" in the people.

Under the will of Yongzheng, led by Shuntianfu. The doctors of the people of the capital were gathered together, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital taught the "cowpox". method.

Half of the 100 cattle in Nanyuan were assigned to Shuntianfu.

For the families and neighbors of smallpox patients, "cow gangrene" was planted first. Prophylaxis.

The rest of the cattle are used to make pox seeds. Some good cattle were brought from the suburbs to inoculate the gangrene for use in the Gyeonggi region.

The government and the opposition.

As early as when the promotion of "human pox" was promoted, it caused a lot of controversy, but it was just "the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." ”

In order to curb the spread of smallpox, Kangxi initially forced Baqi to be inoculated with "human pox". As a result, it didn't take long for it to become voluntary.

There is no other reason, but although pox can prevent smallpox, it is also dangerous.

The richer and richer the family, the more afraid of death, and the more unlucky they are that they are one in a hundred or one in a thousand. On the contrary, they did not dare to take the slightest risk.

So, curiosity is curiosity, but no one dares to take the first step.

Yongzheng originally wanted to take advantage of this to coerce favor, and wanted to accept the hearts of the clan and hundreds of officials, but he didn't expect no one to respond, but he was so cold, and he couldn't let go of his face.

He knew that everyone was skeptical, so he ordered the doctor to plant the pox on everyone in the palace first.

On His Majesty's side, it was the Thirteenth Elder Brother who came forward. I beg for grace to give the people of the palace and so on.

He has long had the method of "cowpox", and his wife, concubine and children have all been planted with pox. At this time, he came forward just to carry a sedan chair for Yongzheng.

really knew this, and when the thirteenth elder brother got closer, he sent two pox doctors to the thirteenth elder brother's mansion to plant pox for the people in the thirteenth elder brother's mansion.

There are thirteen elder brothers taking the lead, and then Prince Chun's Mansion, Prince Ping's Mansion, Long Keduo, Yi Duli and others want to ask for orders one after another, and they are also planting pox.

The kind of guy who is afraid of both the danger of smallpox and the danger of life and death stares at these mansions with pox.

There are hundreds of people in the prince's mansion, and the magnates of the Eight Banners are worse, and most of them are families of one hundred and eighty people. These people add up to more than a thousand, plus the tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, I haven't heard of any of them, and they died violently after planting pox.

Until I heard that the harem queen and several concubines had also been planted with pox, those who were originally afraid of pox damage to their bodies couldn't wait any longer, and began to ask for grace in front of the emperor. You have to plant your own pox.

Although Yongzheng was tired of their conceitfulness, he also endured his unhappiness and arranged for someone to plant them with gangrene. Those who couldn't get their turn in the Tai Hospital for a while also gave cowpox prescriptions and allowed them to postpone the hospital for pox.

Although Cao Mei was not at home, Cao Song was there, and he invited two acne doctors he knew, and planted cowpox on the people in the east and west. As for the masters, they have quietly planted pox a long time ago.

On the day Li heard that "cowpox" was implemented in the world, he sat by the cannon and was stunned for a long time, and finally took three sticks of incense and incense her husband's tablet.

When Chu Yu saw this, he was surprised.

She knew the relationship between this cowpox and her father-in-law, and thought that her father-in-law would hide it from her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to know about it.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law's expression was different, Li said with a smile: "Does the daughter-in-law think, why is it not a festival?" I incense the old lady? ”

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Could it be that it is a critical day?" Do you want to instruct the kitchen to prepare a sacrificial table and make offerings to the grandfather? ”

"No, my grandfather doesn't love these," said this. She straightened her waist, with a bit of reminiscence and pride on her face, and said: "The world thinks that the master is the light of the emperor's milk brother, and he can be worthy of the title." Who knows, the master has his own Qiu in his heart, and what he thinks about is not flattering the master and the emperor, but the people in this world. Although he does not receive the name of living people, he deserves the blessings of these living people."

Nourishing Heart Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

The room here was as warm as spring, but there was no one waiting for half of them. When Yongzheng entered, he saw a person wearing a hooded cloak standing by the door. Judging from the figure, it should be a woman. He lightened his footsteps and walked forward slowly. Stretch out your arm and take the man in your arms.

The man shuddered slightly, and did not turn around. The voice was inaudible: "Your Majesty"

Yongzheng's breathing became rapid, and he picked up the man by the waist, walked two steps quickly, and sent him to the kang.

"Your Majesty, it's daytime." The man's voice was choked and pleading.

Yongzheng sat by the cannon, hugged her fiercely in his arms, leaned into her ear and said, "It's good during the day." It's not cheap at night. Don't be afraid, with Su Peisheng guarding outside, he went to untie the man's clothes, and said very distressedly: "Let Lian take a look at the flowers first, I really wronged you"
