At night, Gelfin returned to Suoxiang Mansion.

He asked Doctor Zhang about what had happened in Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs. A group of people in the Imperial Hospital did not go to eat and drink tea, but to conduct research on vaccinia.

"Ama, you are right."

Gelfin will inquire about the situation and talk to Suo'etu one by one.

"The condemned prisoners in Zhuangzi are experimental products, and the emperor has also dispatched a group of new-faced guards to station there. After the Tai Hospital's evaluation, the vaccinia research conducted by Sibei Le is said to be safer than human pox."

Suo'etu stroked his beard, and on the fourth day of February, Baylor was transferred from the Ministry of Punishment to oversee the construction of the [-]th and [-]th elder brothers' mansions.

He didn't pay much attention to this matter until three days ago, someone found out that the envoy and the judge of Tai Hospital both went to the northern suburbs in the same car.

Unlike Xiaotangshan Hot Spring, there are no good mountains and rivers in the northern suburbs.Except for Sibeile who has a Zhuangzi, I haven't heard of anyone else breaking ground there.

A group of officials from the Tai Hospital went to the northern suburbs, but they couldn't just dig herbs.The most likely reason is that the emperor assigned Sibeile and Tai Hospital to arrange a secret mission.

With this speculation, they conducted in-depth investigations and found that Qingfu of Tong Guowei's family actually served as a bodyguard.

The emperor skipped over Longkodo, and instead of bringing him back to life, he gave him the job of his seventh brother.

The Tong family also kept silent about where Qingfu was sent.Asking is to do business for the emperor, and I don't know the specific situation.

Others may be sent to do unimportant things, but the possibility of Tong Guowei's son is very low.

This conjecture was confirmed today by Dr. Zhang’s explanation.

Soetu pondered that cowpox sounds far less dangerous than human pox, but the benefits of this difference are far greater for the common people than for the powerful.

"Did you ask what the hospital plans to do next? The first wave only selected 25 prisoners for experiments, and there will definitely be a second batch."

"Doctor Zhang said that he was waiting for the emperor's order, but Sibeile did not give specific arrangements."

Gelfin had discovered the benefits of cowpox, not in its ability to prevent smallpox, but in its appeal to the public.

He suggested: "If the prince can be responsible for the promotion of vaccinia, as long as the people in the capital can plant it successfully, then he will become the prince who saves the people from smallpox. This is a good opportunity!"

Suo'etu also thought of this, but he was still a little hesitant.

The technique of human pox has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has only matured until now, and its promotion was only after Kangxi came to power.

Cowpox was born, can it really replace it?Will there be side effects?

This kind of side effect harms people, but it will affect the reputation and prestige of the prince. Don't be caught by the king of Zhijun to attack the prince.

Gelfin saw that Suo'etu was hesitant to make a decision, "Ama, what's wrong?"

"While letting the crown prince take charge can gain fame, it is also accompanied by blessings and misfortunes. If there are loopholes in the cowpox itself, someone must be held accountable."

Soetu said so.Yinfeng has been the crown prince for 27 years. Seeing other elder brothers in the palace enter the court to work one by one, the crown prince needs more fame to convince the public.

Gelfin said nonchalantly, "If you have any problems, let Si Baylor carry them on your back. He made up this matter. If you don't ask him, you can find someone else."

If there is any benefit, let the prince occupy it, and if there is any problem, let the fourth elder brother take responsibility.

Suo'etu didn't feel that Gelfin's remarks were against morality at all.Morality, that kind of thing is a ridiculous victim in the court battle.

What he worries about is the pros and cons of finding a scapegoat. "After the wolves incident in the Mulan paddock last year, we let out the wind and praised Sibeile for being brave and good at fighting, while stepping on the king of Zhijun. The rumors ended in calm, and the king of Zhijun held back I didn't bother with Sibeile."

If the prince is allowed to cut off Hu Sibeile to get the credit for the cowpox research, and if there is a problem, Sibeile will recite it, will it push people's hearts to Zhijun Wang?

Gelfin frowned, but after thinking about it, he still felt the need to fight.

"Tomorrow, the emperor will definitely bring up the matter of cowpox. Ama, we don't have much time left. My son thinks that we can get the credit first. In the past few years, the chances for the prince to establish his prestige have become less and less. There is no chance. Lost, time never comes."

As for whether Sibeile will be biased towards King Zhijun, that is a matter for the future.

Gelfin took it for granted, "Si Baylor was really wronged, and it's not a big deal. Let the prince comfort him a few words, and at the same time warn Si Baylor that the prince is the heir apparent who can ascend to the throne. In the future, give Si Baylor some compensation. Enough."

Suoetu didn't immediately agree, but he had already leaned towards Gelfin's statement.

Thinking back to Yinzhen's past behavior, he never refuted the prince's decision, so it should be the same this time?

The next day, in front of the Qianqing Gate, the court meeting was held as scheduled.

All the ministers heard that the emperor had thrown out the cowpox.

Kangxi clarified the results of the first round of experiments. The discomfort reaction of human vaccination with vaccinia is very low, which is far lower than the risk of vaccination with human pox.

This is not only based on the death row experiment, but also from the situation of cattle farmers infected with vaccinia.

"It has been more than ten years since I promoted the vaccination of varicella. There are still unvaccinated people in your family, or you are worried about large scars or the risk of death. Vaccinia may solve these problems."

What Kangxi was more interested in was that ordinary people were more comfortable with cowpox.

Because of its low risk, it is not afraid that no one will take care of it, and it is not like the crisis of mild smallpox spillage caused by smallpox vaccination.

"In order to further verify the reliability of vaccinia, the scope of the experiment must be expanded. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this? Ladies and gentlemen, you can speak freely."

Kangxi threw out the question and waited for the officials' answers.

Among the civil and military officials, those who are well-informed have already heard that several medical officers from the Imperial Hospital came back from the northern suburbs yesterday.

At this meeting, it was discovered that Sibei Le did not come to court, what does the emperor mean by this?Do you support cowpox, or do you have scruples?

Most of the courtiers are hesitating how to express their position.

At this time, Suo'etu was the first to break the quiet scene: "I think this method is feasible. If it can be promoted on a large scale, the people will no longer have to worry about smallpox. The second batch of experiments should be carried out immediately."

When many officials heard Suo Xiang's statement, they changed their attitude of bowing their heads and saying nothing, and spoke in agreement.

Some of them suggested that it was related to the prevention of smallpox. Cowpox was of great importance, and a person in charge should be found to lead the overall situation.

Who to choose?

The prince is doing his part.

As soon as this remark fell, objections arose immediately.

Some said that the research on vaccinia vaccination is still in the exploratory stage, so how can it be easily promoted.

Some asked, let the prince take charge of the overall situation, which official will preside over the next research?

The crown prince lives in the palace, so such research must be in the outskirts of the capital if there is any risk.Instead of commanding from a distance, it is better to let the king of Zhijun be in charge.

Now everyone is divided into several factions, arguing with each other.

Kangxi was condescending, listening to these courtiers talking one after another.

He didn't speak, his eyes calmly glanced at everyone who was actively fighting or remained silent.He paid more attention to the nominated Yinfeng and Yinti.

There was no joy on Yinti's face, but Yinreng looked a little hesitant.

No matter how fierce the argument is, there is a moment to stop.

Kangxi never interrupted, and seemed to be patiently waiting until the courtiers realized that it was time to shut up.

I don't know who was the first to realize that the emperor hadn't spoken for a long time, and this realization made An Jing feel weird.

The April warm wind blows past.

Outside the gate of Qianqing, all the courtiers shut up, and the wind blew a chill down their backs.What exactly does the emperor mean?

Kangxi's expression was indistinguishable, and he silently remembered the line of these courtiers in his heart. "I understand the opinions of all the gentlemen."

Got it, then what?

Then Kangxi announced his resignation, and called out the names of some people, asking them to come to the South Study Room to talk in the late afternoon.

There were many important officials in the court who were named, the crown prince and several princes, but there was no Suo'etu.

This is a signal, but whether it can be received depends on the individual's perception.

In the afternoon, everyone waited outside Qianqing Palace before the time was up, waiting for the emperor to summon them, but they didn't want to see a person they hadn't seen in the morning—Sibeile came.

Wu Fuyi came, and received the news about two hours ago that the emperor wanted Sibeile to enter the palace in the afternoon to talk about cowpox.This will greet the people who are waiting outside one by one.

The prince also arrived, and greeted him indifferently. "Fourth brother, this time you did a big thing without telling everyone!"

"The crown prince has a great reputation, and my younger brother will act according to Khan Ama's will, and dare not take credit for it."

Wu Fuyi didn't know Yinreng's specific attitude towards cowpox, but whether this person supported or opposed it would not affect her decision.

When returning to Beijing this time, Yinzhen didn't come with him, but stayed at Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs, but he said everything that should be said.

Once cowpox comes out, it will definitely cause controversy.Suo'etu may want to let the prince take charge of the follow-up, because this is a good opportunity to gain reputation.

In this regard, what should Four Baylor do?

When Yinzhen talked about the past, he supported the prince not because of his good temper.

If it is really necessary to distinguish distant relatives by character, the prince will not be the brother he is willing to befriend.

For example, you have a half-brother who was born to be superior to all brothers.

And he has a proud personality, and he couldn't hang out with his brothers since he was a child. How good can his relationship be over the years?

When he grew up, the prince hoped that all his brothers would be obedient, so he had to show a skill that would make it difficult for everyone to hold a candle to.

In terms of being closer, compared to the prince, he and Lao Ba used to be fairly close.

There is a three-year age difference between the two, and they have studied together in the upper study room for many years.Yinhu has a gentle temperament, at least it shows so, and he can talk and talk together.

In the past, supporting the prince was only because Kangxi liked the prince, which was in line with the emperor's order.

At the moment, Wu Fuyi was neither humble nor overbearing when facing Yinreng, and did not respond to the subtext in his words at all.

Are you sneaking up on cowpox?of course not.

That was acting in a low-key manner at Kangxi's will.Is it possible to resist the decree for the prince?If this is done, how much immediate benefit can the crown prince give?

Don't talk about the future.

The future is far away. Looking at the history books, how many princes can successfully ascend to the throne?

Seeing the fourth child's response, Yinreng's face darkened slightly.

Before he could say anything else, Liang Jiugong came to spread the message that the emperor let everyone in.

Kangxi and the others stood still, first summed up the various views of today's court meeting, and then set a tone.

"Whether there will be side effects of vaccinia, and whether there are unknown risks in the vaccination process, these things have to be practiced to know a little bit. The second batch of scale-up experiments must be done."

The question is who to do it?

Kangxi threw the question out, "Fourth brother, you organized the first experiment, what suggestions do you have for the next arrangement?"

"Huihan Ama said, I think there are two points to pay attention to."

Wu Fuyi sincerely suggested, "First, the method of vaccination should learn from others' strengths, and should invite famous folk doctors to improve it. Second, the person in charge should go deep into the vaccinia experiment. If nothing else, eating and living together is the minimum. Only then can we deal with unexpected problems at any time, and avoid delays in reporting layer by layer, which will spread unnecessary risks.”

There are no medical officers from the Taiyuan Hospital present. Whether to introduce private doctors to study vaccinia is a question that can be put aside for a while.

But hearing the second point, eating and living together to participate in the experiment, instead of sending people to participate in the experiment, this is a bit embarrassing.

Experiment for at least one month at a time.The experiment is in the suburbs and is basically closed.

For reference, Sibeile had left the Ministry of Punishment before, which means that whoever is in charge cannot participate in other affairs of the DPRK and China, and agreed to put down the real power at hand.

This will be put down, who knows if it will be taken back in the future.

"That's right, that's how it should be."

Kangxi was very satisfied with these two suggestions, and he seemed to look at the prince expectantly.

"Yinfeng, you have been living in the palace, and you haven't been out of the palace much, do you want to live in the suburbs for a while this time?"

Yinfeng thought for a moment, and he knew the popular aspiration that the successful promotion of vaccinia would bring.

But he hesitated to live and eat with a group of experimenters in the suburbs for a month or more.Once he leaves, who can guarantee that Yinti will not take the opportunity to make trouble.

In the end, he said: "I am ashamed, I have been supervising Jiangnan affairs recently, and I still can't get away for a while."

Disappointment flashed in Kangxi's heart. Although he guessed that the possibility of the prince agreeing under such conditions was very small, he still hoped that the son would agree.

Unfortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

The expression on Kangxi's face remained unchanged, "That's right, Jiangnan's affairs are very important, and we need to keep an eye on them. Fourth brother, you heard it too. Besides the prince, who do you think is the right person present? Don't talk about yourself, this time I am afraid that one person in charge will be too busy, so it is better for two people to work together to negotiate."

whoosh-

A straight ball was kicked over.

Wu Fuyi greeted the ball head-on, unhurried, and said objectively, "I think the eighth brother is suitable. The eighth brother is gentle and can take care of those who participate in drug experiments."

Yinhu:!

He didn't speak the whole time, why did this matter hit him on the head.
