Mrs. Guo left the palace aggrieved, and when she went back to tell the master, she was still in tears.

"The Rong woman is too deceitful!" Guo Ruike felt embarrassed, after all, it was his wife who handed the sign into the palace, representing his face, Concubine Rong dared to insult her, obviously not afraid of his retaliation: "You too, I will let you go to Gu Zhaoyi to intercede. How did you find the concubine? ”

He was bored and didn't look at the lady who was hiding her face and crying: "You know that crying can't even do this little thing." ”

Mrs. Guo explained: "After I asked the queen mother to say goodbye, the palace maid who led the way took me directly to Zhaoyang Palace, and Gu Zhaoyi was also there, but she was very quiet, as if she was also listening to the words of the concubine. ”

That day, Jiang Xian did not say anything to ridicule her.

Compared with the aggressive Concubine Rong and Ma Wanyi, Mrs. Guo has a better impression of her, and she also feels that if it weren't for Zhaoyang Palace, maybe things would have room to turn around, but the concubine was too unkind.

Listening to her words, Guo Ruike shook his head: "She is not anxious in the seat, looking at the situation you described, I am afraid that I don't plan to see you in the first place." ”

There are many such people in the officialdom, who are not contentious, laugh at the people they don't like, and it is difficult to pry his mouth open: "It's just you, a woman, and you still think she is good." ”

Mrs. Guo is only talking.

Guo Ruike thought for a while: "However, your trip is not in vain, I said something that was not in line with the emperor's wishes in the court, and you were scolded by the two of them, the emperor's anger will be somewhat dissipated, and this credit will really fall on Gu Zhaoyi." ”

The forces in the harem, Gu Zhaoyi is obviously from the concubine's faction.

It is said that she also has a good relationship with the queen.

It's just that his daughter is ignorant, and she blushes with her, which is very unnecessary in Guo Ruike's opinion, but there is no possibility of reconciliation, so he can only find a way to suppress her, so that her promotion speed is slower and she is stuck below the concubine position.

The next day, Guo Ruike asked to see the emperor.

The emperor also saw him, and asked him to finish talking about what happened to his wife in the palace with a bitter face, and bowed pitifully after speaking: "This is the place where Weichen has offended the concubine Niangniang, and it is not unjust to beat Weichen one by one. ”

In the eyes of Yan Chiren, there is no so-called science, and there is no concept of vaccine.

So cowpox, which can "prevent" smallpox, has the saying of a miracle cure.

"Do you know what this is?"

As Guo Ruike entered, Xie Che lifted his teacup and took a sip of hot tea. After he finished speaking, he put down the teacup, took out a book from the sorted folds next to him, and threw it in front of Guo Ruike.

"Wechen...... Ignorance. ”

"Then pick it up and read it, and then come back to me after reading it."

Guo Ruike trembled and bent down to pick up the folded book, which contained a piece of parchment written in foreign language. There are only a handful of people in Yan Chizhong who know foreign languages, and he doesn't understand it, but fortunately, there is a translator on the fold. Yan Chi was weak in naval warfare, except for some small foreign countries that were friendly to Yan Chi, the rest of the Westerners had not yet opened a trade route, and could not find an opportunity.

Among them, the missionary Chen Fu's homeland of Magom suffered greatly from the smallpox epidemic.

Hearing that Yan Chi had a miraculous way to prevent smallpox, Chen Zhu was so excited that he wanted to go back and report the matter to His Majesty and the Pope as soon as possible, and promised that he would inevitably come with great sincerity, and all cooperation could be opened.

Xie Che did not suspect that the missionary had gone back to report the news, after all, there was a way to prevent smallpox, and it would definitely be vigorously promoted by the whole country, and there was no need for foreigners to inquire about it. Moreover, this is not an elixir with one less pill, and the missionary Chen Zhufu called it miraculous after learning about the concept of "vaccine", which must also dispel more bad thoughts from the other party.

What's more, if you want to fight, Yan Chi is really not afraid.

On the one hand, the people will lose money, and on the other hand, everyone will make money, and Shecher believes that the ruler of Magom will make a wise choice.

"Gu Zhaoyi's move is not only to save the people of Yanchi from smallpox, but also to promote the prestige of Yanchi's country, I have named this prevention and control method Yanchi cowpox, and spread the news that cattle raised with Yanchi's unique long turtle grass are more suitable for cowpox...... This is all Gu Zhaoyi's idea, as a second-class member of the imperial court, you don't want to think of more ways to benefit the country and the people, just staring at that bit of credit, it's ridiculous! ”

Jiang Xian thought about two points, one is "rubbing the heat".

Groups are stigmatized and, in turn, are given good names.

Westerners have been afraid of smallpox for a long time, and now they have come up with a way to prevent it, bringing Yan Chi's name, who can not have a good impression of Yan Chi? How strong must a country be to defeat a terrible epidemic?

The second is to take the opportunity to make money.

The long turtle grass is not helpful for planting cowpox, but fortunately, it is only available in the land of Yanchi, and it is still very recognizable, and the leaves have lines that resemble the back of a turtle, so it is not easy to be confused by fish eyes.

Both were proposed by Jiang Xian to the emperor.

……

Xie Che said slowly at first, but then the more he talked, the more angry he became, and he scolded.

One sentence of reproach from the Son of Heaven is better than a hundred sentences from the concubine.

"The emperor is angry!" Guo Ruike was frightened and fell to the ground: "Weichen is also thinking about the emperor's prestige!" Think of the method of preventing smallpox, which came from the hands of the emperor, should be more convincing than from the mouth of a woman. ”

Guo Ruike, can he say that he wants to suppress Gu Zhaoyi?

He had to bite to death because the starting point was for the good of the emperor, and it was foolish to die for the sake of foolishness.

"My prestige does not need to be established by taking advantage of others, I have already found out that in the name of loyalty, you have actually received a lot of heavy gifts behind your back, and you have joined forces to suppress my Gu Zhaoyi, just because she is not a noble daughter of a family, and her father's official position is low."

"Your Majesty, the minister is confused for a while!"

Guo Ruike knocked his forehead bruised, and begged the emperor to raise his noble hand.

Xie Che really couldn't kill him, and gave him a stern warning, punished him for thinking behind closed doors, and spent a year...... Although I didn't mention the gift I received, I guess I had to return it.

After leaving the imperial study, the panicked Guo Ruike stumbled on the road, almost fell, and was helped up by a pale and powerful hand: "Lord Guo, be careful when walking." ”

After Guo Ruike stood firmly, he saw the person who came, and hurriedly saluted: "The lower official has seen Prince Xie." ”

Lord Xie: "This king doesn't really want to see you." ”

Guo Ruike looked puzzled.

Lord Xie: "The emperor has just seen you, and he must be very upset and difficult to deal with." ”

Guo Ruike: ......

was disliked by the Xie family so clearly that his life.

He was still embarrassed in place, Wang Ye Xie had already gone in to face the saint, before he saluted, he glanced at the screen next to him, there was no figure in it, but there was a very light fragrance.

In a trance, I smelled a kind of incense that the first emperor loved to use.
