Chapter 46

Umalu spent the whole night in pain in the side hall, and Kangxi spent the whole night in the inner room of the Qianqing Palace.

After all, God is kind.

Dongwu is about to come out, a little light pierces through layers of clouds and shines on the earth.

In 1678 AD, at Yinshi on October 17, the [-]th year of Kangxi, Umalu gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, who was later named Yinzhen, the later Emperor Yongzheng.

Liang Jiugong came to report: "It's an elder brother."

Kangxi nodded and quickly asked, "What about her? How is she?"

"Miss Wu Ya has already fallen asleep."

"That's good, that's good." Kangxi thought for a while, and then said, "She is weak, let the imperial doctor be there at any time."

Liang Jiugong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Doctor Jiang is waiting."

When Umalu woke up, he was dizzy and sweaty, and he didn't know what year it was.

Liu Li, who was guarding her, fed her porridge before telling her one by one: "It's an elder brother. The emperor was taken away by someone. There are special people to take care of him. Master, don't worry."

She lowered her eyes: "Okay."

Liuli paused, and asked, "Is the master going to rest?"

"it is good."

Just after giving birth, she was so sleepy that she took a rest.

Umalu is not in good health. After listening to Liuli's dictation, Wang Taiyi suggested Umalu to do "hundred suns and moons" after hanging the thread for pulse diagnosis.

That is, sitting for a hundred days of confinement.

After Kangxi found out, he agreed and strictly ordered Baocheng not to go to Umalu during this period.

For this reason, Baocheng lost his temper all day long, crying and crying.

The nuns had no choice but to coax and coax.

At night, Baocheng cried himself to sleep. When Nanny Li wiped his face, he felt his cheeks were hot. She didn't dare to relax her vigilance, so she hurriedly asked Nanny Zhao, who was taking care of him, to pay attention to Baocheng. Go out and ask someone to invite the imperial physician.

There was a period of turmoil, and when the imperial physician came, he saw that he had a high fever and shivering, so he prescribed medicine to treat the wind and cold.

After Kangxi heard about it, he drew more and more attention to Umalu and Baocheng.

After three or four days, news came that Baocheng had definitely contracted smallpox.

Kangxi hurried away and was stopped outside the door.

The palace people knelt down in unison: "No, the emperor must not take risks."

Kangxi looked at the closed door and said coldly: "The imperial doctor has decided!"

The Imperial Hospital who was waiting on the side first said: "Emperor Qi, Imperial Doctor Li, and Imperial Doctor Zhao have diagnosed and treated it separately, and it is true that smallpox is correct. The Imperial Hospital has prepared a preventive method."

"How is the doctor?"

"The medicine is boiling, and the right medicine can be prescribed at any time."

Kangxi nodded, thought about going back, and said, "Liang Jiugong! Go and investigate."

His imperial father, Shunzhi, died of smallpox. He was also infected with smallpox when he was young, and he had lingering fears about smallpox, and he always wanted to solve this matter.

For this reason, every year Tai Hospital is preparing medicine to prevent and treat smallpox, and it is very vigilant.

It's just that I haven't found a way to break it for a long time.

Fortunately, under strict defense, no one in the palace has had smallpox for more than ten years.

Baocheng is the eldest son, he pays more attention to everything around him and guards carefully, how could he get smallpox all of a sudden.

Liang Jiugong responded.

At night, Liang Jiugong heard the report from Eunuch Meng, and went in to report to Kangxi, saying: "The Punishment Department came to report that Mother Zhao had hanged herself. She received a letter from outside the palace some time ago, but she couldn't find it. Burned."

"No need to check, I know who it is." Kangxi said calmly.

There was no smile on his face.

Liang Jiugong was startled and bowed his head in silence.

Kangxi said: "Ms. Wu Ya's health is not good, let the people around her be more careful."

"Don't wander around if there is nothing to do in the palaces." Kangxi paused and said, "Xuan Mingzhu..."

He said the names of seven or eight people in a row.

Liang Jiugong hurried down to give orders.

Seven or eight ministers came, but there was no result of discussion.

On the second day, in the early court, Kangxi asked the officials how to cure smallpox.

The ministers talked all over the place, but it was useless.

After Kangxi thought about it for a while, he posted it all over the country, hoping to find a way to cure smallpox.

By the time Fu Weige came out of the Imperial Academy to copy the books, it was already midnight, and a gust of wind blew through him, freezing him from head to toe, as cold as an ice cube, and he couldn't feel his feet when he walked.

He was originally a Jinshi of the previous year, and he was lucky enough to be an official. Unfortunately, he was a candidate for the county magistrate. After passing several assessments by the Ministry of Officials, when he participated in the single-month or bi-monthly elections, because the Ministry of Officials drew lots, the selected ones were awarded the imperial edict. Take office.

The other person was selected by the lottery. He had packed his bags a few days ago and took office.

When he went to copy the books, he heard those people say in private that that person had given money to the official department in private, that's why the official department selected that person this time.

He didn't know if it was true or not.

However, even if it is true, where does he have money?
In order to take the exam in Beijing, there are only two acres of Susukida left in the family.Other things, if they are sold well, they should be sold well, they are really worthless.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad.

What kind of man is he?
Instead of letting the whole family live a good life, they let them suffer along with him.

But he has no choice, the monthly salary is only a few taels of silver, and if he copies books at night, he can also get some more silver every month.

He had nowhere to go in the capital, so he simply stayed in the Hanlin Academy, at least he had a place to stay.

How can he compare to this master in the capital with the exchange of favors and expenses.

He rubbed his stomach.

He was so hungry that he couldn't help it, so he couldn't bear to go out to find something to eat.

There are still street vendors.

He walked over, and the vendor greeted him enthusiastically, "Master, what do you want to eat?"

He can also afford to be called a master.

He smiled wryly.

The skin is thin and the stuffing is big, the skin is close to the meat, and the aroma is tangy. His saliva protrudes, and his stomach growls very cooperatively.

He waved his hand, walked to the corner of the stall, bought two flatbreads worth two cents, came back and asked for wonton soup worth one penny, and put the cakes down with the soup.

One person came down and asked the vendor for ten yuan a bowl of wontons.

Put a little dried shrimp, shredded seaweed, a little salt, and a handful of shallots at the bottom of the bowl. Put the cooked wontons and soup in, and the aroma will come out immediately.

Fu Weige was hungry again.

Even though he just filled himself with water.

The person who sat down laughed: "Fu Weige, look at you, you look like a dog."

Only then did Fu Weige raise his head to look at the person sitting down. He recognized the person, but he only had a wry smile: "It's you. Since you left, your mother misses you very much."

"Let's not talk about this." The man said with great interest, "You were a well-known child prodigy at that time, and the gentlemen at that time said that you were going to be an official. Why, you have been in the capital for so long, and you haven't even been an official. Mix in?"

Fu Weige was not quick to talk to him.

Fu Weige drank up the wonton soup at the bottom of his bowl, got up, saluted him, and left.

 16. In the middle of the [-]th century, the Chinese invented the smallpox vaccination, and many texts have recorded the initial rough vaccination.

  The so-called human pox inoculation is to use the scabs of smallpox patients to grind powder into pox vaccines, blow them into the noses of healthy people, or put on the clothes of smallpox patients (pox clothing method), etc., to infect healthy people, and by causing mild smallpox symptoms, achieve The purpose of immunization against smallpox.

  The Chinese invented human pox vaccination
  Simply put, this is a therapy that fights poison with fire.However, this treatment method is not 100% effective. Sometimes the disease is too dangerous after vaccination, and the inoculated person will die (there is a 0.5-2% possibility), and the inoculated person will infect healthy people before recovery, but Although reducing the vaccination dose is safe, it cannot achieve the immune effect.

  In 1796, Edward Jenner, a British country doctor, invented the immunotherapy "Vaccinia" based on the Chinese vaccination method, which provided a fundamental solution for the eradication of smallpox.

  Second, the medicines used to prevent and treat smallpox are different from the medicines used to cure smallpox

  12. It was originally named Shangfangsi, and was changed to Shangfangyuan in the 1655th year of Shunzhi (16).In the 1677th year of Kangxi ([-]), it was changed to the Punishment Department.The fifth division of the seven divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty held the name of the Three Banners.All proposed crimes are tried in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. If the circumstances are serious, they will be referred to the three courts for review and finalization.The punishment of eunuchs is mainly punished by the Department of Punishment.

  Fourth, the history of seaweed cultivation can be traced back to more than 300 years ago. According to the "Pingtan County Chronicle", local algae farmers used lime water to remove miscellaneous algae to increase the yield of seaweed. This method was used until the 20s, known as As "vegetable altar cultivation method"
