208 An Guogong

"You're right, this man is a ruthless man, you have to be extra careful.

He was originally a concubine, and he also had a brother-in-law on his head, so it stands to reason that it would not be his turn to inherit the Anguo Mansion.

His father named him Xie Mingshun, which clearly meant that he was obedient to his brother-in-law.

But when his brother-in-law was eighteen years old, he was jealous of others in the Qinglou, and as a result, he fell into the lake and drowned, which gave him a chance to take the position.

Due to the death of his own son, his mother-in-law was full of grief and indignation, and publicly accused him of killing his brother-in-law behind his back in order to achieve the goal of usurping the title.

Do you know what he's going to do next? Not only did he not argue loudly, but he knelt in front of his mother's door every day without saying a word, in order to show his innocence.

He knelt for more than half a year, and even broke his knees.

The news quickly spread, and everyone, including his father, believed that he was innocent. Some people even began to accuse his mother-in-law of being mean and unkind and abusing her concubine.

A person who can be so cruel to himself can hardly do anything.

Not only will he earn a reputation for himself, but he will also be a good person. often contributes money and efforts to the clan, and his popularity among the clan is also very good.

It wasn't until the death of his predecessor An Guo Gong that he inherited the An Guo Mansion as a concubine, and then gradually revealed his true colors.

Many of the people who had opposed him before were eliminated by him one by one by various methods. The cruelty of the means is chilling.

So you have to be extra careful not to let this old man be targeted. ”

"Father-in-law, this time An Guogong returns to the capital, the power of the second prince will definitely rise, and the person who has the most headache should be the eldest prince's faction."

"That's right, An Guogong has been firmly in control of the Southwest Army for many years, and at the same time, he has not relaxed his control over the capital.

The forbidden army didn't dare to say it, but there were many people in the five military camps who were his henchmen, which was why the emperor wanted to restructure the five military camps.

In addition, the queen mother and the concubine are both members of their Xie family, and their power can be imagined.

It is estimated that it will not be long before there will be another vicious fight between the DPRK and China. ”

"So what should we do?"

"You don't have to do anything, just wait and see.

No matter what they do, let's not get into it, it's a deep pool. ”

"Yes, father-in-law."

"One thing I forgot to tell you, the Holy Lord originally intended to entrust you with the important task of leading the Tai Hospital and the Huimin Administration to implement universal vaccination in the southwest region.

But I knew you had no intention of doing anything, so I helped you push it off. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law, it's good that you helped me push it off." Chi Fei was very happy after hearing this.

He is self-aware, and he is not the material to be an official at all.

The reason why the epidemic prevention work in the northwest was so smooth before was because of the full support of my father-in-law behind it.

And the southwest is An Guogong's territory, where he not only can't get any help, but also will be monitored by An Guogong and others at all times, in short, he is restricted everywhere.

Under such circumstances, if you want to carry out such an important work as universal vaccination in the southwest, where can an officialdom like him do it?

However, he felt a little strange about this matter, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't the Tai Hospital resolutely opposed to inoculating people?" Why did you suddenly change your mind again? ”

Ning Zhiyuan sneered: "Because in their eyes, the people in the southwest and northwest are just border pariahs, and they don't care about it at all, so they won't object." ”

Chi Fei couldn't help but be a little speechless after hearing this.

Although the vaccination method has been a great success in the northwest, half a year has passed, and progress in the capital has been slow, or even none. The reason for this lies in this hospital.

When the doctors of the Tai Hospital learned that the inoculation technique was actually to extract the body fluids from the sick cows and plant them on people to prevent the inoculators from getting sores, they immediately expressed strong opposition, especially against the implementation of the emperor and several princes.

In their opinion, how can people mix the contents of livestock into their own bodies, which is simply against heaven and human morality.

Even if this method can really prevent sores, who knows what the consequences will be in people.

Just like mercury, if it is only ingested in small amounts, it will not cause death. But if you take it for a long time, you will definitely die.

The same is true of this inoculation method, although it seems that there are no adverse reactions now, but who knows if there will be any terrible consequences for future generations.

To put it mildly, what if the princes were all vaccinated with cowpox, and some half-human, half-beast monsters would be born in the future?

The royal bloodline is so noble, how can it be polluted in the slightest.

Moreover, for many years, the plague has appeared in the northwest or southwest border areas, and it is very rare in places such as Beijing and Jiangnan.

Therefore, there is no need for the people in the capital and even in the south to take the risk of carrying out this kind of "evil law" that violates heaven and humanity for the sake of the sores and plagues that they may not get in their lifetime.

Due to the fierce opposition of the Tai Hospital, and the reasons given seemed to be quite reasonable, the emperor suspended the national vaccination plan in the capital and even all over the country.

In Chi Fei's view, these objections are a bit like the debate about genetically modified foods in modern society, all out of the unknown and fear of new things.

Although many modern scientists claim that genetically modified foods are safe and harmless, most people are still skeptical.

Many people believe that genetically modified foods may not be harmful in a generation or two. It will take a few generations, or even a dozen generations, before it is possible to slowly see where the real side effects are.

This inoculation technique was also in the eyes of the ancients who were backward in biotechnology. So Chi Fei is understandable, but will not accept it.

Even if he didn't know if inoculation was harmful, he would rather take a risk than sit idly by compared to the smallpox plague that was just around the corner at hand.

It wasn't long ago that the Northwest had just experienced a smallpox epidemic that killed countless civilians.

However, the hospital still felt that the fierce plague of sores was far away from them, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

This is simply a big gamble with hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people's health and lives.

And this time they allowed the vaccination in the southwest region, firstly, as my father-in-law said, they did not care about the life and death of civilians in these border areas, and secondly, they also wanted to personally test this vaccination technique in the southwest region to see if there were any other side effects.

The doctor's vocation is to treat the sick and save people, but the doctors of the Tai Hospital are too utilitarian, which obviously violates this principle.

……………………

After coming out of his father-in-law's study, Chi Fei, who came to the hall, saw his little wife A Zhi being counted down by his mother-in-law Yao with her head down, and she didn't know what she had done wrong.

As soon as she saw Chi Fei, Ah Zhi hurriedly ran over as if she had been pardoned and asked in a low voice, "Brother, have you finished talking to your father?" ”

"It's over. What, did you make your mother-in-law angry again? Chi Fei pinched the tip of her nose.

"No, I don't. Let's go home. Ah Zhi urged duplicitously.

Chi Fei had no choice but to take her hand and say goodbye to her mother-in-law Yao.

When it was Zhi's turn to say goodbye, Yao glared at her little daughter and said, "Don't forget what I just said. Fortunately, you're already married, and you're still so frizzy, what kind of physique. ”

"Got it, mother, you're so verbose." Ah Zhi complained quietly.

Before Yao's hair was raised, Chi Fei spoke first: "Ah Zhi, how did you talk to your mother-in-law, don't apologize quickly." ”

Ah Zhi had no choice but to pull her head and admit her mistake to Yao, "Mother, I was wrong, I will never do this again." ”

"Alright, alright, you guys go back."

Chi Fei saluted his mother-in-law Yao again, and then left with Ah Zhi.

Seeing the little daughter happily holding the little son-in-law's hand and talking while walking, Yao felt relieved at the same time, but there was a sour taste.

She knows best what kind of character her little daughter is, she belongs to the type of listening and not teaching, and she has never been less troubled since she was a child.

However, in front of the little son-in-law, she was so obedient that she was more obedient than her mother-in-law, which couldn't help but make her a little surprised.

……………………………………

In the carriage, Chi Fei asked his little wife next to him, "What did your mother-in-law say about you again?" ”

"That's it...... It's about children.

When my mother found out that I was going to have a child after I was twenty years old, she was very angry and said that I should not be so willful and should think more about the issue of children. ”

"Didn't you make it clear to your mother-in-law, did I decide this matter, it has nothing to do with you."

"I don't want to say it." Ah Zhi said in a voice.

She was afraid that if she said it, her mother would discipline her brother as well. She would rather her mother train her than her sweetheart.

Chi Fei touched her hair and said, "Little fool, what can't be said about this."

In this way, next time I will make it clear to my father-in-law, so that my mother-in-law will not say you again. ”

Ah Zhi nodded, then put her arms around his neck and whispered, "Brother, don't you really want to have a child sooner?"

My mother was only sixteen or seventeen years old when she gave birth to my eldest brother, so I should be fine. ”

"A woman's birth has always been a matter of life and death, and the younger she is, the greater the danger. Only when you are fully mature will you not be so dangerous.

In addition, the situation in Beijing has been unstable in recent years, and it is not a good time to prepare for pregnancy. So we'll hold off for a few years, shall we? ”

"Well, I listen to my brother."

Chi Fei kissed her face as a reward, and then asked, "What did the princess say to you today?" ”

"Actually, he didn't say anything, he just asked me about some daily trivial things like a normal conversation. I've already told my mother about this.

By the way, she also asked a few things about you.

She said that she liked your book very much, and hoped to have the opportunity to meet you as an author with her own eyes, and she didn't know if it was polite or true. ”

"Maybe the princess has the same idea as her royal brother, and today the eldest prince also specially asked someone to ask me to come over to meet him. I now know that I was put on a table by that person. ”

Chi Fei told her everything about it.

"These people are really bad at all, always trying to calculate others." After hearing this, Ah Zhi was very indignant.

"Whatever, as my father-in-law said, we just have to wait and see. No matter what they do, let's not get involved.

By the way, there is one thing I haven't told my father-in-law yet, it's some of my own thoughts.

I think so, in case it is really the second prince who comes to the throne in the end, then it is best for us to move to the northwest or Jiangnan to live for a while, and avoid the limelight first. ”

"Are you worried that the second prince will make trouble for us?"

"Yes. Let's not talk about King Fu, a sworn enemy, and Wu Kanggui, the son of the Marquis of Changchun, also has old grudges with us.

Wu Kanggui is the brother-in-law of the second prince, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come to us to trouble us with the power of the second prince.

Although my father-in-law was in front to help us with this, I didn't want to cause too much trouble to his old man, so it was better to avoid the limelight first.

Zhi, do you want to go to the northwest or to the south of the Yangtze River? ”

"It's okay to have both, I don't care."

"Then we will live on both sides, and when the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, we can go wherever we want. Actually, I've never been to Gangnam, so I don't know what it's like there. ”

"As long as I'm with my brother, it doesn't matter where I go." Ah Zhi buried her head in his arms and quietly smelled the familiar smell on him, and the corners of her mouth showed an extremely satisfied smile.

Chi Fei found that since he returned to Beijing, this girl has become more and more clingy to him, and she can't wait to stay with him all day long. Sometimes he feels like he's raising a daughter.
