Chapter 73: Worker Yixiu goes crazy after rebirth
Emperor Kangxi in the Forbidden City was reviewing memorials. He was in a particularly bad mood today because the crown prince had made another mistake.
Suddenly, a memorial was delivered to Emperor Kangxi. When Emperor Kangxi took a look, he found it was from the Governor-General of the Nine Gates.
Emperor Kangxi could not help but take it seriously, because the duties of the Nine-Gate Commander-in-Chief were very important. Emperor Kangxi thought it was another matter about the defense of the capital, but when he opened it, he found out that it was actually about smallpox.
Emperor Kangxi immediately read it carefully. It read: "I found in Zhuangzi that people infected with cowpox will not be infected with smallpox, and that vaccination with cowpox is safer than vaccination with human pox. After vaccination, people will never get smallpox. I think if this method is successful, it can save countless people in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I have the audacity to submit this memorial and ask Your Majesty for your decision."
After reading it, Emperor Kangxi immediately called Liang Jiugong and said, "Quick, let Zhang Zijun come into the palace quickly. I want to ask him in person."
Liang Jiugong went to do it immediately. Emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, waiting for Zhang Zijun.
Soon, Zhang Zijun was brought before Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi looked at Zhang Zijun and said, "My dear Zhang, I already know what you wrote in your memorial. Please tell me in detail."
Zhang Zijun looked at Emperor Kangxi and told him everything he knew. After listening, Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and said, "My dear Zhang, you have given me a great gift this time. If this method works, I will reward you handsomely."
Zhang Zijun quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for this. This method was given by God."
After listening to this, Emperor Kangxi looked at Zhang Zijun and said, "My dear Zhang, you are truly my right-hand man."
After listening to this, Zhang Zijun quickly thanked him and left.
Emperor Kangxi looked at Zhang Zijun's retreating back and said with a smile, "It seems that my fourth son has married a good concubine."
After that, Emperor Kangxi called Liang Jiugong again and said, "Liang Jiugong, go find a few palace maids who have had smallpox and recovered, and some who have not had smallpox, and send them to the Jiumen Commandery, and let Zhang Zijun test this vaccination method."
After listening to this, Liang Jiugong immediately went to do it.
News in the Forbidden City always spread quickly. Soon, Yinzhen knew about this matter. Yinzhen immediately went to Yixiu's courtyard, looked at Yixiu and said, "Xiaoyi, do you know what happened today?"
Yixiu looked at Yinzhen and said with a smile, "Master, what's wrong?"
Yinzhen looked at Yixiu and said, "Xiaoyi, your grandfather has done a great deed this time. If this method works, your grandfather will be promoted."
Yixiu looked at Yinzhen and said with a smile: "Master, is this true? Grandfather has been promoted, which is also a good thing for Master."
Yinzhen looked at Yixiu and said with a smile: "What Concubine said is right. If this is accomplished, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Yixiu looked at Yinzhen and said with a smile: "Master, I don't want any reward. I just hope you can always be good to me."
Yinzhen looked at Yixiu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiaoyi, I will treat you well."
After saying this, Yinzhen left.
Yixiu looked at Yinzhen's back as he left, smiled, and said, "It seems that I really made the right bet this time."
After a while, Rouze also knew about this matter. Rouze looked at Mother Li beside her and said, "Mother Li, do you think Yixiu did this?"
Mother Li looked at Rouze and said, "Princess, I don't know about this matter either, but Princess, what we have to do now is to wait for the emperor's order to come down."
After listening to this, Rouze nodded and said, "You are right. Things are still uncertain."
Emperor Kangxi in the Forbidden City had been waiting for news from Zhang Zijun. In less than a month, Emperor Kangxi finally received the good news from Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong looked at Emperor Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, the Nine Gates Commander has sent a message saying that the vaccination method has been successfully tested. Those palace maids who had had smallpox did not have any problems after vaccination, and those palace maids who had not had smallpox did not get infected with smallpox after vaccination."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and said, "Well, my dear Zhang Zijun has lived up to my expectations. Liang Jiugong, I hereby decree that Zhang Zijun be rewarded with 100 taels of gold, 100 pieces of silk, promoted to the rank of First Rank Commander of the Nine Gates Infantry Patrol and the Five Battalions, and be granted a mansion."
After listening to this, Liang Jiugong quickly accepted the order and left.
The news of the Forbidden City soon spread throughout the capital, and Zhang Zijun moved into his new mansion in great glory.
Yinzhen looked at Yixiu and said, "Xiaoyi, your grandfather has done a great deed this time. I will reward you well."
Yixiu looked at Yinzhen and said with a smile: "Master, I don't want any reward. I just hope that you can always be good to me."
Yinzhen looked at Yixiu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiaoyi, when you give birth to the child, you will be my legitimate wife."
After saying this, Yinzhen left.
Yixiu watched Yinzhen leave with a smile, thinking, "He is indeed a man who will not do anything without profit. I have said this countless times in my previous life, but what was the result?"
Rouze entered the yard in a moment.
Rouze looked at Yixiu and said, "Sister, this time grandpa has really made a great contribution. The emperor has rewarded grandpa with many things."
Yixiu looked at Rouze and said with a smile: "Sister, that's not true. Besides, my grandfather's promotion is also a good thing for our Ulanara family."
Rouze looked at Yixiu and said, "My sister is right. It seems that I will have to let my sister take care of me more in the future."
Yixiu looked at Rouze and said with a smile, "Sister, you are too kind."
Rouze looked at Yixiu and said with a smile: "Sister is right, we are all family."
After seeing Rouze off, Yixiu opened her personal page on a whim.
Name: Yixiu
Merit: 10
The merits are positive in just the first few days. Women are the same. Once they have money, they want to spend it.
I opened the mall skillfully. I haven't had any merit in the past few months, so I had to look at it every day to satisfy my envious eyes. Now that I have merit, I want to buy all of them.
Finally, after thinking again and again, I chose to use up 10 merits by sending a dream. If I wanted Kangxi to skip Yinzhen and pass the throne directly to Honghui, I had to spend this merit.
In the blink of an eye, all the merits were cleared, and Yixiu collapsed on the bed, not wanting to move. Jianqiu saw his master like this and hurried over to show concern.
Yixiu waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.
That afternoon, Yi Zheng was practicing calligraphy. He hadn't written for a long time. Before he finished writing a single word, he saw Jianqiu working in a hurry.
"What's wrong? Why are you so impatient?"
When Jianqiu heard this, she felt anxious and angry when she thought of the news brought by the little maid, and felt sorry for her master.
Yixiu knew what was going on at a glance, but Rouze still performed the stunning dance.
"How long will it take for you to see it?"
"Master, I have already seen it now."
Jianqiu was a little puzzled seeing that Yixiu was still so calm. Doesn’t the master care about him the most?
"It's okay, after all I have one more concubine."
