Umalu had a sore foot in the side hall all night, and Kangxi was worried all night in the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace.

In the end, God is favorable.

Dongwu will come out, and a little light will break through the layers of clouds and shine on the earth.

In 1678, on October 30, the seventeenth year of Kangxi, Wu Malu gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, who was later named Yinzhen, that is, the later Yongzheng Emperor.

Liang Jiugong came to report: "It's a brother." ”

Kangxi nodded and hurriedly asked, "What about her?" How is she. ”

"Miss Wuya has fallen asleep."

"That's good, that's good." Kangxi thought for a while, and then said, "She is weak, let the imperial doctor be at any time." ”

Liang Jiugong said with a smile: "The emperor can rest assured, Imperial Doctor Jiang is waiting." ”

When Umalus woke up, he was dizzy and sweaty, and he didn't know what year it was.

Liuli, who was guarding her, fed her porridge, and told her one by one: "It's an elder brother, the emperor asked someone to take it away, and there is a special person to take care of it, don't worry about it, master." ”

She lowered her eyes: "Okay." ”

Liuli paused and asked, "Is the master going to rest?" ”

"Okay."

As soon as she gave birth, she was very sleepy, so she rested.

Umalu was not in good health, and after listening to Liuli's dictation, and after diagnosing the pulse, he suggested that Umalu do "Hundred Days and Moons".

That is, sitting for a hundred days of confinement.

After Kangxi found out, he agreed, and strictly ordered that during this period, Baocheng was not allowed to go to Umalu.

For this reason, Bao Cheng lost his temper all day long, crying non-stop, and had tears in his eyes.

The grandmothers had no choice but to coax and coax.

At night, Bao Cheng cried and fell asleep, and when Mama Li wiped his face, he felt that his cheeks were hot, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, so he was busy telling Mama Zhao, who was taking care of her, to pay attention to Bao Cheng, and she hurriedly went out by herself to call someone to ask for a doctor.

After a period of chaos, when the imperial doctor came, he saw that he only had a high fever and shivered, and prescribed medicine to treat wind and cold.

After Kangxi heard about it, he paid more and more attention to Umalu and Baocheng.

After three or four days, news came that Bao Cheng was sure to be infected with smallpox.

Kangxi hurried away and was stopped at the door.

The palace people knelt down in unison: "No, the emperor must not be in danger." ”

Kangxi looked at the closed door and said coldly: "The imperial doctor has decided!" ”

The Tai Hospital, who was waiting on the side, said: "Imperial Physician Qi, Imperial Physician Li, and Imperial Physician Zhao have been diagnosed and treated separately, and it is indeed smallpox." The hospital is ready for prevention and control. ”

"How's the Imperial Doctor doing?"

"The medicine is boiling, and the right medicine can be prescribed at any time."

Kangxi nodded, thought about it and wanted to go back, and said, "Liang Jiugong!" Check it out. ”

His imperial father, Shunzhi, died of smallpox, and he was also infected with smallpox when he was a child, and he had lingering palpitations about smallpox, and he always wanted to solve the matter.

For this reason, every year, the hospital is preparing medicine to prevent smallpox, and it is very vigilant.

It's just that I haven't found a way to break it for a long time.

Fortunately, under the tight defense, no one in the palace has had smallpox for more than ten years.

Bao Cheng is the eldest son, he pays more attention everywhere around him, and guards carefully, how could he get smallpox for a while.

Liang Jiugong should be down.

At night, Liang Jiugong listened to the report from Xiao Meng's father-in-law, went in to return to Kangxi, and said: "The Shen Criminal Division came to report, Mama Zhao hanged herself, she received a letter from outside the palace some time ago, the letter was not found, it may have been burned." ”

"No need to check, I know who it is." Kangxi said calmly.

There was no smile on his face.

Liang Jiugong was shocked and bowed his head silently.

Kangxi said: "Wu Ya's health is not good, let the people around her be careful." ”

"Don't walk around the palaces if you have nothing to do." Kangxi paused and said, "Xuan Mingzhu ......"

He said the names of seven or eight people in a row.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly went down and ordered.

Seven or eight ministers came, and there was no discussion of what the outcome would be.

On the second day, in the early dynasty, Kangxi asked the ministers how to cure smallpox.

The ministers gossiped, but they were useless.

After thinking about it for a while, Kangxi posted it all over the country, wanting to find a way to cure smallpox.

By the time Fu Weige came out of the Hanlin Academy to copy the book, it was already the middle of the night, and a gust of wind blew, freezing him from head to toe, as cold as an ice cube, and he couldn't feel his feet when he walked.

He was a jinshi last year, and he was lucky enough to go out to be an official, but unfortunately he was a candidate for the county, and after several levels of assessment of the officials, when he participated in the single-month or bi-monthly election, because the officials drew lots, the selected person was appointed to take office.

The other person was drawn, and a few days ago he had already packed his baggage and went to work.

When he went to copy the book, he heard those people say privately that the person had secretly stuffed the ministry with silver, so this time the ministry selected that person.

He didn't know if it was true or not.

Only, even if it were true, where would he have the silver?

In order to go to Beijing to catch the exam, there are only two acres of thin fields left in the family. Other things, sold and deserved, are really homeless.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

What kind of man is he!

Instead of letting the family live a good life, they let them suffer and suffer with themselves.

But he can't help it, the monthly salary is only a few taels of silver every month, and if he copies books at night, he can also have more silver every month.

He had nowhere to go in the capital, so he simply stayed in Hanlin Courtyard, so he had a place to stay.

Favors, expenses, how can he compare to the master in Beijing.

He touched his belly.

He was so hungry that he couldn't help it, so he couldn't hold on to come out and find something to eat.

There are still vendors on street corners.

He walked over and greeted the vendor warmly: "Master, what do you want to eat?" ”

He can also afford to be a master.

He smiled wryly.

The skin is thin and the filling is big, the skin is close to the meat, the fragrance comes to his nose, he is saliva, and his stomach is very cooperative.

He waved his hand, walked to the corner of the stall, bought two two-penny flatbreads, and came back to ask for a penny wonton soup, and put the cakes down with the soup.

A man walked down and asked the vendor for a bowl of wontons for ten cents.

Put a little dried shrimp, shredded seaweed, a little salt, a small handful of green onions at the bottom of the bowl, and put the boiled wontons and soup into it, and the fragrance will come out at once.

Fu Weige was hungry again.

Even though he had just been watered.

The person who sat down laughed: "Fu Weige, look at you, you look like a dog." ”

Fu Weige raised his head and looked at the person sitting down, he recognized the person, but he only had a wry smile: "It's you, since you left, your mother misses you very much." ”

"Don't talk about that." The man said with interest, "You were also a famous prodigy in ten miles and eight towns at that time, and the gentlemen at that time said that you were going to be an official." Why, I've been in the capital for so long, and I haven't even mixed up with an official? ”

Fu Weige was not quick to talk to him.

Fu Weige drank up the little wonton soup at the bottom of his bowl, got up and saluted him, and left.
