Chapter 416: Heavy Reward
Facing Su Wen's hopeful gaze, Mo Yi could only reply helplessly: "I have received some rumors from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the specific news is not clear, I only know that Your Majesty will reward you this time." ”
There will be a heavy reward, Su Wen recalled the word Mo Yi said. She is now a seven-rank medical officer, and if she is rewarded for meritorious deeds, then the emperor will consider giving her a promotion. The problem is that her gender is obviously an obstacle, and it doesn't matter if she is of low grade before, if she is really promoted to a high-grade official position, it is estimated that she should be opposed by Han Bing's henchmen.
Thinking of this, Su Wen couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself in his heart. She has been mixed up in this era for a few years, and she feels that her guts are getting smaller and smaller, and now she has become a little unfounded.
To be honest, if you really want to give her a promotion, although you will encounter some objections, it is not as difficult as you just thought. She had only recently helped the crown prince defeat smallpox, and it was at a time when her prestige was in full swing, and it was expected that there would be no shortage of people who would speak for her. In addition to her own prestige, she also has the support of the prince's faction, which is also a force to be reckoned with.
After sorting out his mood, Su Wen said with an expectant face: "Heavy reward, listening to you say this, I really have some expectations, I hope Your Majesty will not let me down." ”
Seeing that Su Wen really had a sense of anticipation, Mo Yi immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, with your contribution to fighting smallpox, Your Majesty will not be able to slack off." You must know that it is precisely because of the method of planting cowpox that most of the people in the capital can survive this plague unharmed, and I heard that there are at least hundreds of thousands of people. ”
Hearing Mo Yi say this, Su Wen suddenly felt much more confident. She has hundreds of thousands of people behind her. It is expected that the emperor will not dare to despise it, not to mention that there is also Hong Qian in the court to help suppress the formation.
The next morning, Su Wen entered the palace with Hong Qian's family early in the morning. As the heroes of the fight against smallpox this time, they were specially invited to participate in the celebration banquet. In addition to them, other heroes who participated in the fight against the plague this time were also invited, and it happened that they were basically people from the prince's faction.
Of course, there are always exceptions, and this time the guests are no different. Among a group of princelings, King Qin was undoubtedly the exception, and he seemed so out of place with the surrounding guests.
Back in the beginning, when the crown prince took over the responsibility of fighting smallpox. The king of Qin was sent by the emperor on an errand to assist the crown prince. The relationship between the brothers is there. Naturally, the courtiers didn't take King Qin's deputy too seriously. Anyway, this errand was not his intention, and King Qin happened to be happy, and he just hung up a false position from the beginning.
To be honest, King Qin deliberately avoided the matter of assisting the crown prince. In fact, it was expected that the fight against smallpox would be a thankless task. for fear that his reputation would be implicated by the prince's recklessness.
It's a pity. People are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect the hot potato to become fragrant in a blink of an eye. Su Wen got the method of planting cowpox out of nowhere, and the spread of smallpox was suppressed at once. The originally imagined purgatory on earth did not appear. Instead, there is an orderly response and treatment.
After knowing the development trend of the epidemic, King Qin was almost repentant. Knowing that the smallpox loss could be so low this time, he would have chosen to intervene no matter what, at least thanks to it.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to sell in the world, and this wish can only be a wish in the end. Except to silently accept the tricks of fate, King Qin can't do anything now. The most embarrassing thing is that he still has a false position to assist the crown prince, and he is mocking his self-righteousness all the time.
With this false position, the King of Qin has some obligations that must travel. For example, participating in the celebration banquet, this is his unshirkable responsibility as the prince's deputy, and he has to bite the bullet if he doesn't want to.
After the baptism of smallpox, the prince is now in control. If he had been worried about the threat of King Qin before, now he didn't need to worry about it at all. With the prestige accumulated in dealing with smallpox, the crown prince had left the king of Qin far behind. Whether among the courtiers or among the common people, he was recognized as the best choice for the future emperor.
The threat was no longer a threat, and the prince's attitude towards the King of Qin naturally changed. He now needs to show his brotherly and brotherly side, so as to show his mind, and at the same time let the emperor feel at ease that he can entrust his country and children to his care.
As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Garden, where the celebration banquet was held, Su Wen saw the scene of the prince and his wife talking with the Qin prince and his wife. The two couples are warm on the surface, but who knows what they really think in their hearts? No matter how fierce the struggle is in private, they must maintain a good appearance of harmony and show the drama of brotherhood and brotherhood in front of the emperor.
Looking at the picture of the two couples talking, Su Wen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: It is really not easy to live in the royal family, not only must you be proficient in various schemes, but you must also have superb acting skills.
Seeing that Hongqian's family and Su Wen were coming, the prince and his wife hurriedly said goodbye to the Qin Wang couple and walked over to them. After all, Hong Qian is the prince's husband, and his identity is different from that of ordinary courtiers, so he naturally has to receive some preferential treatment. In addition, Su Wen is still in the team, and the prince and his wife also have to give more face.
Seeing the two coming, everyone hurriedly saluted and greeted them. As usual, before they had even begun to salute, the prince was too busy to excuse them.
After greeting Hong Qian with a smile on his face, the prince turned to Su Wen with a smile and said, "Senior sister, in order to reward you for your excellent performance in dealing with smallpox this time, my father will reward you heavily today. Here, senior brother, congratulations to you first, I just hope that you will not be too surprised by the time. Hehe. ”
Seeing the prince's jokes, the princess immediately smiled and answered: "Yes, junior sister will have a heavy reward today." When the holy decree is read later, the junior sister must be steady. ”
Seeing that the two of them looked pretentious, Su Wen was suspicious. She couldn't help but peek at Hong Qian, wanting to see if she could find some clues, but saw that he looked calm and breezy. From such a performance, it can be seen that he should have known this matter a long time ago, so he can behave so frankly and calmly.
Although he was curious to death, Su Wen did not open his mouth to ask. She knew that these people would definitely not say anything, so she might as well just wait for the moment when the answer was revealed.
After chatting for a while, the prince and his wife went to work on other things. On such an occasion, both of them have a lot of work to do and don't have much free time. As soon as they left, other courtiers and their families took the initiative to talk. They were basically courtiers of the prince's faction, so they all wanted to take the opportunity to leave a good impression on Hong Qian.
As Hong Qian's disciple, Su Wen was by Mrs. Hong's side throughout the whole process. She is also a hot figure in the capital recently, so there are not many opportunities to be noticed.
In the face of everyone's attention, Su Wen's performance was down-to-earth and generous, but he won a lot of praise or true or false. She is now a medical officer of the highest rank, and although it does not seem to be of a high rank, it is extremely heavy. It is precisely because of her unique identity that many people with unmarried teenagers in their families have moved their minds.
For their thoughts, Su Wen actually saw it at a glance. She is not a real under-the-top girl, and this bit of eyesight is still not lacking.
As an insider, Mrs. Hong naturally understands the entanglement between Su Wen and Mo Yi. With the intention that the fertile water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, she bypassed everyone's exploration one by one without a trace. Anyway, these people didn't make it clear, so why did she dance with them. The road between this pair of children is already very tortuous, and she naturally has to help her.
In the face of Mrs. Hong's pretending to be stupid, although everyone felt helpless in their hearts, they could only admit it. At this time, it is not suitable to pick out the words, so they have to save their thoughts for later.
After chatting for a while, the emperor, the true host of the celebration banquet, finally arrived late with the empress and a group of concubines. Everyone hurriedly stopped chatting with the acquaintances around them, and saluted the three most distinguished people in the palace. After receiving the order to excuse themselves, they got up and sat back in their seats.
Facing a group of meritorious officials present, the emperor was in a good mood. After he politely said a few words, he went straight to the point and began to reward them according to their respective merits.
As the prince of a country, the crown prince was naturally the first to be rewarded. His status is too high, don't expect to be added to the knighthood, but other benefits will not be less at all. In the holy decree that was read, he was severely praised by his emperor's father, and all kinds of beautiful words were thrown out as if he didn't want money.
Reading between the lines, everyone could clearly feel the emperor's satisfaction with the crown prince. Most of the people present supported the crown prince's succession, so they were in a very comfortable mood and sincerely happy for the prince.
Of course, compared to the comfortable mood of everyone, King Qin was much more depressed. He and the crown prince are in competition, and now that the prince has won the emperor's praise, it means that he has a loss on his side. The problem is that the gap between the two has been widened, and trying to make up for it is not something that can be done overnight.
After rewarding the crown prince, the emperor immediately rewarded Hong Qian. As the prince's husband, he performed well in dealing with the smallpox plague, so the originally hereditary title of Earl of Wenchang was promoted to a hereditary title of three generations.
After the Hong Qian, it was Su Wen's turn immediately afterward. The cowpox method she proposed played a decisive role in the prevention of smallpox, so the credit can be said to be the number one. In order to show the reward, the emperor and the empress decided to accept her as a righteous daughter, and at the same time canonized her as the princess of Anhe, and set up a princess's mansion in the best part of the capital.
