Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 47

The man sneered behind his back and said, "What? You can't even afford a bowl of wonton now? How about you say something nice to me, and for the sake of my fellow countrymen, I can treat you to a bowl."

Fu Weige stopped and didn't look back, but said: "I don't understand your ideals, I only know that those loud slogans are worse than letting my family fill their stomachs."

He said: "You look down on me, I know. You laugh at me for not being able to eat wontons worth ten cents, but I know that sending back the money I save can at least make my parents, wife and children live better. Did my part."

The man stepped forward and grabbed him: "Why do you look down on me? How much money do you have in the Hanlin Academy for a month? If I rob the rich and donate to the poor once, it will be worth decades to you."

His voice was low.

After Fu Weige ate something, the heat entered his stomach, and it seemed that his body was also warmed up.

"At least I have a clear conscience," he said.

"At least I supported my family, wife and children."

"At least I don't have to lower my voice when I speak."

"Just be the dog of the Qing court." The man said viciously in a low voice.

Fu Weige didn't want to quarrel with him: "Erzhu, go home and see Aunt Li, she's blinded from crying because you ran away from home."

After finishing speaking, he broke free from Li Erzhu and walked towards the Hanlin Academy.

Li Erzhu held him back: "What do you mean by that!"

He sighed, pulled Li Erzhu to the side, and said, "That's what I meant. What you did is called stealing from the rich and helping the poor if it sounds good, but isn't it called stealing if it sounds bad."

"You, you people, some of you don't even care about your own parents. Are you really anti-Qing and Ming-ming? Or are you just shouting slogans, just to make excuses for killing, arson, and stealing?"

"You, you know..." Li Erzhu was speechless.

"Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor...how can he be a good person?"

Fu Weige pushed him away: "I am a dog of the Qing court, and you are not good people."

Fu Weige straightened his sleeves and went back.

On the second day, the academicians of the Hanlin Academy talked about Kangxi recruiting people from all over the world to seek a cure for smallpox.

After thinking about it for a while, Fu Weige wrote an excerpt and begged the head of the Imperial Academy to pass it on.

Because it was related to the method of treating smallpox, the head of the Imperial Academy was not embarrassed, and he really transferred it.

It was handed over in the morning, and Kangxi announced him into the palace in the afternoon.

After he finished his salute, he stood there obediently.

Kangxi said: "Tell me, what can you do?"

"There is a technique of inoculation among the people, which is called the "human pox method". It is used to fight the virus with poison. A certain amount of pus is extracted from the pustule of the patient who has smallpox, and then put into the body of a person who has not had smallpox. If you get through it, you won’t get smallpox in the future.”

Kangxi said: "The crown prince has smallpox, can we use this method?"

Fu Weige said in detail: "Those who have used the "human pox method" will get smallpox, but the symptoms will be much milder than those of normal smallpox infection. After this infection, they will never get it again in their entire life. It's a common method in my hometown."

"If someone has smallpox, it can also be used to alleviate the disease in this way."

"Using this method, will many people die?" Kangxi asked after a little thought.

"Ordinary people get smallpox, and they are close to death." Fu Weige thought for a while, "But with this method, at least seven or eight out of ten people can live."

After Kangxi listened, he asked Liang Jiugong to call the imperial doctor and asked them if this method was feasible.

After contemplating for a while, Imperial Physician Li said: "I have seen such a method in a medical book, but I have never treated a smallpox patient like this."

"There is a way, but it has never been cured..." Kangxi pondered.

Soon he made up his mind, and even showed a bit of indomitable momentum: "I order you to assist him to develop the "human pox method" as soon as possible. Use whatever you need. Treat the disease first."

Fu Weige saluted and said: "I accept the decree, but this method requires a lot of people to cultivate "human pox", please agree with the emperor."

"Let's do it in a hurry."

Fu Weige took the order and went down, discussing with all the imperial physicians how to do it.

Liang Jiugong came in and said, "Miss Wu Ya, everything is as usual, there is no serious problem."

"Tell her not to come out these days, and wait until this matter is over."

"Yes."

Kangxi thought for a while and said, "Tell her that the child is fine."

Liang Jiugong agreed.

Liang Jiugong paused and said, "Can they cure the prince's illness?"

"Life and death, misfortunes and fortunes, people can't decide." Kangxi looked at the memorial and shook his head slightly, "It's just doing your best and obeying the destiny."

He almost said to himself: "Even if the prince passed away unfortunately, once their method is successful, more people will no longer suffer from smallpox. For this reason, we should try it."

Liang Jiugong said after a short silence: "Because the prince is infected with smallpox, I saw that they were a little panicked."

Kangxi thought for a while and said: "From tomorrow onwards, the court meeting will be temporarily suspended, and all the memorials from the government offices of the ministries will be sent to the cabinet. All palaces are not allowed to travel, and daily meals and other things will be distributed and collected by regular people."

After Kangxi pondered, he said again: "You go to Tong Guifei's place and let her take good care of that child."

Liang Jiugong bowed his head and agreed, "Yes."

Liang Jiugong went down to give orders.

Kangxi sat there for a long time, finally put on a mask and went to the side hall where the prince was.

Because Kangxi was infected with smallpox in his early years, there was no problem for him to contact the prince who was infected with smallpox.

However, the country cannot be without a master for a day, and the officials knelt down to ask Kangxi to go to court, not to ignore the family and the country because of the prince.

Liang Jiugong conveyed Kangxi's order: "The crown prince is an opportunity for a country's heir apparent to be in danger. The officials should work hard. There is a "human pox law" that urgently needs the efforts of the officials. I wonder if any ministers are willing to try the "law" by themselves."

The officials flinched and knelt down without saying a word.

On the other side, Fu Weige took the imperial physician and selected 16 court ladies under the age of [-] who had never had smallpox, and injected acne scab powder into them.

Layer after layer of experimentation.

Kangxi stayed by Baocheng's side day and night, instead of reviewing the memorials, he took care of him personally, wiped his face, fed him water, and wiped his body.

The nuns have already been kicked out by him, and they only deliver medicine, water and meals at fixed times every day.

Kangxi often feels in a trance that the person lying on the bed is himself from many years ago.

And he was the original one, maybe he would come to take care of him, but in the end he chose his lover Aixinjueluo Fulin.

But he thought, maybe even without Concubine Dong E, his imperial father would not come to take care of him.

because……

His royal father didn't love him.

However, it is easier to hate someone who is not related to him than to hate his own father.
