Smallpox, a virus that was extinct in modern times and ravaged in ancient times, even the royal family was terrified.One out of every four patients who contracted smallpox died, while the remaining three were left with ugly smallpox scars.Prince Heshuoyu Duoduo, Emperor Shunzhi and his concubine Dong E, and Emperor Kangxi all suffered from smallpox, and only Emperor Kangxi survived that catastrophe.

It was also from the Kangxi Dynasty that passive avoidance turned into active prevention and control.Vaccination was a method thought up by the doctors at that time, which could make the vaccinated people slightly infected with smallpox symptoms, and then develop smallpox. After careful care by the doctors, they would pass through the smallpox period safely, and the vaccinated people would be immune to smallpox .However, this immunity is not absolute.

Before Yongxuan left the palace, he heard that the newly born elder brothers would be vaccinated, and his body was vaccinated before the age of three.It can be said that he cares more about his newborn brother Xiaoba than Qianlong, a serious father.When Concubine Jia was pregnant, he was distracted by taking care of Concubine Jia and taking care of Concubine Jia's body, because he knew that in this era of medical care that does not rely on machines, women have to bear too much risk in childbirth.

Concubine Jia is his biological mother, no matter how mature his soul is, it is undeniable that Concubine Jia already occupies the position of mother in his heart.Thanks to all kinds of supplements and the good health of Concubine Jia, Xiao Ba was born a healthy baby, and after that, he was taken care of by Yong Xun Haosheng, who was both a elixir and a tonic. It can be said that he was the least sick baby in the Qing Palace.Compared with the eighth elder brother, the seventh elder brother looks weaker, but they are all minor ailments and pains.

When the queen saw the big Buddha in the palace, and the emperor took the young concubines to live in the Yuanmingyuan, she was very quiet, so she put a few children on the vaccination list for this time, all of them were over one year old. It's time to get vaccinated, otherwise the child is weak and the smallpox will come directly to him, and it will not be worth the candle.But she didn't expect that the decision this time was the real loss outweighed the gain.

Little Ba Yongxuan is a person who was nursed by Yongxuan, and what he took was a real elixir. Even if Xiao Budian ate the smallpox virus raw, he would not feel any discomfort, the most likely would be diarrhea.The two little elder brothers, plus the little Gege who is a pure concubine, and the three little masters were sent to the remote palace of the palace for isolation. Ama Erniang couldn't see her, and only the assigned maid and the imperial doctor were around her. them.

At this time, the vaccination method was still introduced from the south, and there were two methods, the dry seedling method and the water seedling method, which were similar with minor differences.The imperial doctor first tried the dry seedling method on several children, and both children had fevers as they wished, and all the symptoms were consistent.But Yongxuan never responded.The imperial doctors were in a hurry, how could they not respond, after waiting for another day, Yongxuan was still eating and drinking in a healthy and lively manner, without any signs of illness.

After collecting public opinions, the imperial physicians decided to replace it with the water seedling method and plant it again, but the result was still the same.However, Yong Cong, who was taken care of over there, became more and more unwell, with persistent high fever and severe vomiting.The imperial physicians had no time to take care of him, so they devoted all their attention to Yong Cong, who was in an unstable condition.

On the day when the embargo was lifted, the empress and all the concubines waited anxiously outside, and Qianlong also came after hearing the news, but the final result shocked everyone, making Qianlong and the empress feel as if they were immersed in a winter lake.The imperial doctors knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads: "Going back to the empress, the eighth elder brother and the fourth elder brother have survived. It's just...just... the seventh elder brother may not be able to survive."

Now they are even more afraid to report that the eighth elder brother has not responded at all, and has been eating and sleeping for so many days.In that case, the masters of the two palaces are afraid that they will eat them alive.

The queen opened her mouth in surprise, took a step back unsteadily, almost fell to the ground, and Concubine Xian hurriedly supported her.Qianlong took a step forward excitedly, picked up the collar of the chief physician, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What did you say?!" How dare he, how dare he say it! "That's my prince! The empress handed him over to you in good health, but in the end, how dare you say he's dying? How dare you!"

Long Yan's furious appearance frightened everyone. He hadn't woken up after hearing the news of the funeral, but now no one dared to go forward to persuade him.Even the timid concubine was already crying.

Fu Cha, who was already stunned, heard the cry, as if he had just realized it from his stupefaction, he threw off the hands of Concubine Xian and the maid, and rushed to the imperial doctor, with a distorted expression on his originally soft face, but he continued Weeping, she shook the extremely nervous imperial physician like crazy, "You are talking nonsense! My Yong Cong is fine, please return him to me quickly! Return him to me..." Shaking, her hand He had no strength left, so he just passed out.The people below were even more chaotic at this time.

When Qianlong saw the empress like this, he gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Come here, send the empress back to the palace, and then send an imperial doctor to take care of her, and take Xiao Ba and Si Gege back to their respective places." I’ll go to see them when I have time.” Then he said to the old doctors who were kneeling on the ground and dared not look up: “Get up first, do the things right now, and I’ll give you your merits and demerits Remember, it will be calculated later!" After saying that, he walked away, his back was very lost.

The two mothers, Concubine Chun and Concubine Jia, were so anxious that they rushed to pick up their children after receiving an amnesty.

Qianlong who walked alone in this room did not feel well, even if he only met a few times, he was still his heir after all.He is still the queen's son, and his status is higher than other princes after birth.Although it hasn't grown up yet, the soft ball looks cute.

Because of the early death of his youngest son, Qianlong was depressed.I was already unhappy because my son was not at home, but now I don't even eat half of the usual meals.Wu Shulai was in a hurry, how good this is, there are a lot of things in the palace, the queen fell ill due to the pain of losing her son, the emperor is like a stranger, and the only empress dowager who can hold the corner Not in the palace!

He also didn't want to disturb Lord Wan at this time, but he had to bear the pressure of all parties to ask the emperor for instructions: "Long live, Brother Seven's...should you tell the Queen Mother about the funeral? And... Brother Seven's What about the funeral?" The minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lai Bao, almost died of worry, he was fined by the emperor not long ago, and he has to deal with such trivial matters again.His hair was about to fall out before he was given notice from above.

After all, Qianlong went through all kinds of storms. Compared with the previous incidents, this matter could not knock him down. After a while, he restrained his emotions and said lightly: "Let the House of Internal Affairs be buried according to the county king's ceremony. The queen feels uncomfortable. Don't bother her with other matters. Just say that I told her to let her recuperate at ease, and there will be more children in the future, so she shouldn't think too much and hurt her body. Concubine Jia and Concubine Xian will take care of the palace affairs more. Go to the Neiku to get two thousand-year-old ginseng plants and send them to Changchun Palace."

"Don't say anything about the Queen Mother. According to the itinerary, they should have just arrived in Tailing, so why rush back, the news will be sent together with the next letter." Wu Shu responded and went down to deliver the order.

'Following the principles of peace and comfort is called Tai, and there is no slowness in government affairs. "Emperor Yongzheng rectified the administration of officials, checked deficits, set up clean banks, put an end to corruption and bribery, severely punished corrupt officials, emphasized agricultural work, reformed the Eight Banners, and unified the Manchu and Han. He stabilized the social order, developed the productive forces, and made the country look peaceful and peaceful. The prosperous scene has laid a solid foundation for the current Qianlong prosperity.Therefore, it is very appropriate to name his mausoleum with Thai characters.

The mighty group of people walked the 5-kilometer-long road to the gods, and Yongxie followed the queen mother. The grandparents and grandchildren personally measured the long road leading to the mausoleum of Emperor Yongzheng with their feet.The buildings along the way are majestic and majestic.Civil servants and military officers walked quietly behind.The Queen Mother strictly followed the sacrificial etiquette step by step.Yongxuan also held the gift of his descendants and kowtowed.It took three full days to complete the lengthy etiquette, and Yong Xun was so tired that he never wanted to move again.

At night, he was lying on the big bed in the palace, staring at the top of the bed, obviously very tired but unable to fall asleep.It has been almost 20 days since I left the Forbidden City, and I don't know if everything there is still the same.Er Niang now circles around Xiao Ba, and no longer has to stare at him all the time.Huang Ama still turned his face often, and the ministers were always trembling without arguing about their emotions or anger.Yongzhang was troubled by the homework that he couldn't finish writing, so Nanny Zhao went to check his bedroom three times a day, always nagging at the maids and eunuchs... even looking at him from the corner of her eye Xiao Wu, he thought of it all.

After a while, Yongxie realized the important point—it turned out that he was homesick.He took root in the imperial palace that he thought he would avoid, and all his family and acquaintances were there in this time and space.If you don't come back for a few days, you will miss it.Yong Xun was a little surprised that he had such emotions, but soon he was relieved.

The moonlight outside the window was bright and white, and a layer of silver light shone on the window edge.

Qianlong looked up at the bright moon with a heavy heart.The empress lost her son, not only the harem was in turmoil, but also the court.Although the harem is not allowed to do politics, the harem and the court are closely connected, because every concubine's father, brother and mother are all members of the court.If the intricate relationship here is not handled properly, it may bury hidden dangers.

Some people in the court had complained about the queen's childlessness, and now that the little prince had died, there was another verbal war.The queen's mother's family, the Fucha family, was a loyal family with a strict family style, and taught them all to be pillars. Qianlong was very useful, so he had to appease and balance the grievances of other ministers.Even as an emperor, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Qianlong looked at the full moon again, and suddenly imagined Xiao Si'er once sighed at the moon. When Qianlong frowned, the child was placed between his eyebrows with the warm little hand of the child.His cold brows softened a little, although it was only for a moment, Wu Shulai, who was good at observing words and expressions, caught it, and he suggested softly at the right time: "Master, it's noon, it's time to rest."

Early the next morning, when Yongxie just woke up, he heard the commotion outside, Xiao Fuzi hurried in, and fell to his knees with a plop, "Master, there is news from the capital that Seventh Elder Brother has passed away! He will be buried soon." , waiting for us to go back!"

Yongxie was surprised, he forgot about it, it seemed that Empress Fucha's two sons hadn't grown up yet, they didn't expect to go so early, thinking of seeing the baby brought by the nanny at the palace banquet, Yongxie A faint sadness welled up in my heart.Is it a matter of nature, or is it a matter of human effort?Why is the death rate of children in the royal family so high!

Yongxie asked anxiously, "Does the imperial grandmother know?" Xiao Fuzi nodded, and the queen mother said that you should clean up as soon as possible, and we will set off right away.
