"That coquettish fox was just a Luzhou singing girl. When the emperor, who was still the King of Linzi, served as Luzhou's farewell king, he raised her to give birth to a son outside his house. The empress was also kind-hearted and accepted her into the palace and promoted her through the silkworm-raising ceremony. It gave birth to her current ambition.”
Concubine Liu Xian looked disdainful: "Although her father and brother became officials because of her, a native chicken cannot become a phoenix. What can Zhao Yuanli, a musician from a humble background, accomplish."
Eunuch Wei nodded in agreement.
He analyzed: "But Madam, the case of arson in the Royal Courtyard was flawless. Yang Sixu wanted to impose Lingchi's punishment on Manager Niu, but he actually withstood it with all his strength. This is unusual."
"I think so too!"
"In addition to this being her handiwork, there should be an unknown ally behind her."
Concubine Liu Xian fell into deep thought!
The Empress controls the harem like an iron barrel. Who can form an alliance with Concubine Shu under the eyes of the Empress...
Xuanzong promoted cowpox at the Imperial Medical Office in the court, and had issued an order to summon one person from each county to the capital to learn how to vaccinate against cowpox.
Before doctors from all over the country came to the capital, the Imperial Medical Office had been inoculating cowpox on the first batch of official family members these days.
The third prince rushed to the Imperial Medical Office after going to court and read through the records of vaccination with cowpox.
"Today in the court, my father asked the first batch of officials and their families about the vaccination status of cowpox."
The third prince looked at the list recorded in the volume and smiled meaningfully: "Master Wang, at that time in the court, did any of the officials who promised to come to the Imperial Medical Office to be vaccinated with cowpox have any family members missing?"
"When the family members of the officials from the DPRK came to be vaccinated against cowpox, I asked them carefully about the situation at home. They all said that in accordance with the regulations of the DPRK, their children between the ages of five and twelve were sent to the Imperial Medical Office."
Wang Tao replied: "For the sake of caution, I have asked the third prince to sign and deposit it as requested."
"Now, all the dozen or so adults recorded in the records have sent their families to the Imperial Medical Office, and only the family of Mr. Jiang, who is supervising the compilation of the National History, is left."
Wang Tao was determined to promote vaccination as soon as possible. He planned to inoculate children aged five to twelve years old in Beijing with cowpox before sending medical doctors to Beijing to learn vaccination.
In this way, we can free up our hands when sending people from various places to study in Beijing.
However, despite His Majesty's decree, the vaccination against cowpox did not go smoothly.
When there was a fire in the Royal Courtyard, rumors spread, saying that heaven would punish them. Although Eunuch Yang intervened in the Royal Courtyard case and proved that the arson was man-made, people always have a sense of awe towards ghosts and gods.
Because the rumors have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, people are still reluctant to vaccinate against cowpox.
There are more than a dozen adults recorded in the book, including Mr. Jiang, who supervised the National History, who had been on good terms with His Majesty when he was the King of Linzi. Now they are important ministers who visit Xingqing Palace, and Xuanzong relies heavily on them.
In order for the vaccination to proceed smoothly, Wang Tao had sent someone to the Duke's Mansion to urge him, but there was still no movement from the Duke's Mansion.
Sowing the cowpox vaccine can prevent smallpox with only a slight rash?
Why is it so difficult to promote life-saving vaccinia surgery?
When Wang Tao was worried about performing the vaccination, he didn't know that there was a carriage parked in the alley near the Imperial Medical Office. The person sitting in the carriage was a middle-aged man with a thin figure.
He held up the curtain and stared at the activities of the Imperial Medical Office for a while, and then asked from the side: "The little one doesn't understand. The ten princesses have all been vaccinated with cowpox on their bodies, and then they were also vaccinated with smallpox vaccine to prove that cowpox can indeed prevent smallpox. Why? My father-in-law didn’t just send the family members to the Imperial Medical Office directly, but asked the adults to help keep an eye on them?”
"What do you know? The prince and the third prince are both legitimate sons who have been adopted into the name of the queen. If the cowpox technique is successfully promoted, the third prince will be able to gain a foothold in the court, thereby threatening the status of His Highness the prince."
A flash of light flashed across the eyes of the thin man: "Although the promotion of cowpox surgery is a foregone conclusion, if the government of the country makes every effort to shirk sending family members to vaccinate with cowpox, it will allow His Highness the Crown Prince to accept his uncle's love."
"It's just that the vaccination against cowpox has been watched by His Majesty, so my uncle asked me to keep an eye on the Imperial Medical Office so that I can catch the wind and prevent the Duke's government from making any mistakes on this matter..."
It turns out that things are so twisty and twisted?
The Duke of Guo wanted to please His Highness the Crown Prince, but he could not violate the Holy Order.
The entourage was shocked!
He suddenly understood why his uncle was so trusted by His Majesty. It turned out that he was well versed in the way of being an official, and he always knew how to act upon the wind and take advantage of the right time and place.
What's more, the elder of his family is Prince Zhongyun, and he already serves in the East Palace, so it is not easy to offend His Highness the Crown Prince.
After thinking about these joints, the follower patted his elm head.
"You are so stupid!"
After watching for a long time, there was no movement at the Imperial Medical Office. Master Li was about to tell the coachman to leave when he saw a gorgeous carriage parked at the entrance of the Imperial Medical Office.
Then there was a girl in palace clothes, supported by the accompanying eunuch, stepping on the footstool and getting out of the carriage with great momentum.
"Why did she leave the palace and come to the Imperial Medical Office?"
Prince Zhongyun Li, who was staring at the door of the Imperial Medical Office, was still wondering why the tenth princess suddenly left the palace and came to the Imperial Medical Office?
I saw Li Sixu saying something as she got off the carriage, and then three girls wearing cross-collar skirts got off the carriage one after another.
The last person to get out of the carriage was a plump woman, holding a pink and jade boy on her hand.
There were many palace maids and eunuchs who came to the Imperial Medical Office with the horse team, and there were guards with swords guarding them.
The group of people quickly entered the Imperial Medical Office in a mighty manner. The family members of the officials who were going in and out of the Imperial Medical Office for treatment, as well as the pedestrians passing by the entrance of the Imperial Medical Office, stopped one after another, wondering who could cause such a big fuss while traveling.
Master Li, who was following Li Sixu, recognized that one of the people who had followed Li Sixu out of the carriage was Princess Yue, who was favored by His Majesty. He finally lost his temper.
He told his entourage: "Go in and see what's going on?"
The entourage pretended to have a cough and sneaked into the Imperial Medical Office. It took a while before he came back to report.
"Sir, my servant found out that it was Princess Yue, the tenth princess, and the sixth and seventh princesses, as well as the thirteenth prince, came to the Imperial Medical Office to find the third prince."
"Come to the Imperial Medical Office to find the Third Prince?"
Mr. Li shook his head: "No, traveling with so many princesses and princes will definitely alarm the concubines of the first palace, and may even alarm the empress."
"Your Majesty, what you are saying is that this trip of the princess and prince was approved by the concubines and the empress of the various palaces?"
The Imperial Medical Office is not a fun place!
Why did the princess and princes suddenly come to the Imperial Medical Office?
While the entourage was still confused, another gorgeous carriage drove up from the entrance of the Imperial Medical Office. Li Linfu, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the carriage, was startled when he saw clearly who was getting out of the carriage.
