Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

A day later, the cowpox vaccination was quickly arranged.

On October 15th, the eighteenth prince and the nineteenth prince and seven or eight of the emperor's grandchildren were sent to the farm for vaccination. In addition to them, several royal family members and important officials of the previous dynasty who followed the emperor's footsteps also sent a dozen children over, making a total of thirty people.

Amid everyone's tension and anticipation, news from Zhuangzi gradually reached the capital.

One day, two days, three days, and even seven or eight days passed, and none of the thirty children were seriously ill. Not only that, the strong ones were almost scabbed over, and they would be able to recover and return in a few days.

Good news came one after another, making everyone overjoyed.

On October 26, the first child recovered in Zhuangzi.

On October 30th, more than half of the people had recovered.

By the fourth day of November, everyone had recovered and returned to the capital safely.

This vaccination went smoothly without any serious cases or deaths, which was a huge surprise to both the government and the public.

The princes, court officials, royal family members, imperial eunuchs, common people, etc., they all had complete confidence in cowpox and no longer had any doubts.

The first batch of people who had been vaccinated had just recovered, and the second batch had not yet started, but people from both inside and outside the court went to the Imperial Medical Service to sign up, and the scene was quite crowded.

The Imperial Medical Bureau was surrounded by crowds every day, and even other departments were affected. The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau was miserable and wrote a memorial to the emperor to report it.

Kangxi was caught in a dilemma. With over a hundred ministers from the previous dynasty, countless princes, dukes, beile and other members of the royal family, as well as the eyes of the people all over the world watching, it would not be appropriate to let any of them get vaccinated first.

There was no other way but to urge the Imperial Medical Bureau to speed up the vaccination process. One day’s delay would result in the loss of several lives.

"Tell the Imperial Hospital to dispatch personnel from other departments to focus on vaccination first, and put aside other non-urgent diagnoses and treatments for the time being. Also recruit famous doctors from the public to assist the Imperial Hospital in vaccinating cowpox. This vaccination will spread from the capital to the outside world, and officials from all places must cooperate with the arrangements of the imperial doctors and not make any mistakes!"

At His Majesty's order, everyone from the governor-general and provincial governor to the county magistrate did their best to cooperate with the vaccination. Local officials in various places listed the people who needed to be vaccinated in advance, and they would be vaccinated immediately when the imperial physician arrived.

The matter of vaccination was urgent. The imperial doctors had no time to rest for a few days and rushed to various farms to vaccinate batches of people with cowpox.

However, before that, Kangxi began to reward people according to their merits. He rewarded the imperial doctors in the smallpox department generously, and promoted Zhang, the imperial physician who was in charge of the smallpox department and developed the smallpox vaccine, to the position of court judge and awarded him a nominal title.

In addition, he generously rewarded the Fourth Prince, who discovered the cowpox, with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and also generously awarded him a garden near Changchun Garden.

However, the garden has not yet started construction and only has a rough outline.

Yinzhen had to accept the rewards from his father, and fortunately all the rewards were not out of the ordinary. Although the garden was near Changchun Garden and covered a vast area, it only sounded nice, but in fact it was not eye-catching at all.

"I kneel down to thank the Emperor for his reward."

Seeing that the fourth brother was quite satisfied with these rewards, Kangxi was not very satisfied. "You are afraid of heat, this garden can be kept as a place for you to cool off in summer. I have ordered the Ministry of Works to speed up the construction, but it will take two or three years before you can move in." Silver and gardens are external things, only the title is the most important. It is not easy to give him the title in these two years, so let's build a good garden!

"Also, I have given Honghui some gifts, you can take them back as well."

"Father Emperor, this won't do. Honghui has no merit, no..."

Kangxi interrupted him and said, "If Honghui had not been infected with cowpox, and if his observations were not so meticulous, how could you have found the relationship between cowpox and smallpox? Honghui has made some contributions in this matter. I want to praise my grandson."

Having said that, how could Yinzhen dare to refuse any further? He could only return to the Fourth Prince's Mansion with a dozen boxes.

He then sent the reward for his eldest son to Haitang Garden.

Two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, one box of Western goods, and one box of various jade ornaments. Honghui looked at the four large boxes in the room and asked in disbelief, "Father, are these all the rewards given to my son by the Emperor?"

Yinzhen nodded and gave him an affirmative answer: "These are all rewards from your emperor. Your emperor said that you have made some contributions to the cowpox incident, so I will not be stingy with the rewards."

This is such a pleasant surprise! Honghui sighed sincerely, "Next time I go to the palace to pay my respects, I will take my son to kowtow to the emperor. I want to thank him for his kindness."

However, he did not value material things very much, so he looked away after just a moment.

"Does Ama also have a reward?"

Yinzhen had no intention of hiding it: "Yes, it is more than yours. In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there is also a sum of silver. In addition, my father also got a garden."

"Garden? Which garden?" Honghui became excited.

"The garden is about a mile north of Changchun Garden in the northwest suburbs. It has only been fenced off and construction has not yet begun..."

Why does this place sound more and more familiar? There has never been any other garden built there except the Old Summer Palace!

Could it really be the location of the Old Summer Palace? How could it be brought forward by several years? It was only the 44th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, and my father was still just a little Duoluo Beile. How could he be in the Old Summer Palace already?

Honghui's mind was in a mess. Another thing had changed, and it was he who pushed it forward personally.

No matter what, let it change. As long as he is still alive in this world, there will be many more changes in the future! This one time is not a big deal.

The news that the Fourth Prince's Mansion had received a reward spread on the same day, but it did not cause any waves. By now, most people in the court knew the inside story, so they just talked about it a few words and then let it go.

The silver amount, which does not exceed 100,000 taels at most, and the garden which has not yet been built, are not valuable things. Instead of discussing them, you might as well impeach your political opponents!

The prince comforted Yinzhen and said, "The emperor has his own considerations. As long as you work hard, he will see it sooner or later. You will not always be just a little Duolo Baylor. Even if things get worse, I am still here. I will not let you end up like this."

Yinzhen then understood the painstaking effort of the Emperor's father to withhold his title. If he lost the trust of the Crown Prince for a title of a Prince that he would get sooner or later, and was feared by his brothers, then the loss would outweigh the gain!

The Fourth Prince's Mansion was as quiet as usual, but Defei was the only one who got both face and substance. She was in her forties, and was repeatedly called by the Emperor for several days, which temporarily overshadowed Yifei and Shupin who came later.

She was favored constantly and received numerous rewards, and even the Empress Dowager valued her more. Defei felt that the saying "a mother's status is determined by her son's" was extremely true.
