Chapter 790: Chapter 790 A Reminder
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Emperor, why don’t you let Eunuch Qian try it out first?” Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment and suggested.
Although he was confident in the cowpox vaccine, just in case, he still felt he should get it after he thoroughly approved it.
Moreover, although the country seemed calm now, the undercurrents were surging, so it was better to be careful.
“Emperor, let Eunuch Qian go first.” Guard Chu echoed.
“How about this, Chengrui? You go back and rest well. Tomorrow, I will select a group of people for the vaccine. At the same time, let the people from the Imperial Academy of Medicine follow and observe.
“Let’s see if there’s any difference.”
“Alright. I will take my leave first.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he looked at Guard Chu and said, “I’ll have to trouble Guard Chu to protect that cow.”
“Don’t worry, Lord Gu.” Guard Chu smiled.
Gu Chengrui nodded and turned to leave the palace.
When he returned home, he found out that Zhou Ying and their daughter had gone to the manor. Although he was a little disappointed, he quickly washed up, changed, ate something, and had a good sleep.
He did not expect that the next day after entering the palace, the Emperor had all the palace servants between the ages of ten and forty ready for the cowpox vaccine.
After planting the cowpox, the rest were handed over to Princ.i.p.al Zhou and the others.
Other than going to the palace once a day, he would go to his hospital and get busy.
Three days later, the vaccinated subjects gradually recovered. By the seventh day, everyone had completely recovered.
The Emperor was overjoyed, and so were the imperial physicians.
Although they weren’t the ones who discovered the vaccine, at least they wouldn’t have to be afraid of smallpox anymore. It could be considered a way of saving their lives.
On that day, everyone in the palace who was over two years old and below sixty years old, except for Gu Wanning, who was pregnant, got their vaccine.
Ten days later, after everyone had recovered, the Emperor went to the previous Empress Dowager. He looked at the eldest princess and then at the previous Empress Dowager. “Imperial Grandmother, Gu Chengrui’s contribution this time is too great. In addition to the sweet potatoes and waterwheel, how do you think your grandson should be rewarded?”
“I can’t say for sure. However, between the husband and wife, one only thinks about doing business and cooking all day, while the other only thinks about farming and medicine all day.
“In addition to your Aunt Ping Yang’s relations.h.i.+p, why don’t you give him an official position that won’t be easily bullied? As for the rest, it’s up to you.”
“An official who doesn’t allow others to bully him?” The Emperor couldn’t think of anything for the moment.
After all, there weren’t many officials in that high position.
“I’ll seriously consider it when I return,” he said.
After the Emperor finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.
The previous Empress Dowager quickly stopped him. “Wait a minute. What do you think about your back palace?”
“After the Empress pa.s.sed, only Wanning is left. The courtiers would send a memorial for you to choose someone sooner or later.
“Also, there’s also your father’s concubines. It’s not a good thing to keep them here. It’ll be troublesome if the public makes some unpleasant remarks.”
“Did you hear something?” The Emperor asked.
“No, but don’t forget that some of your father’s concubines are still quite young. Some of them are even virgins.
“It’s inevitable that ambitious people will target you.”
“It can’t be.”
“If there weren’t such signs, would I have asked?”
The Emperor felt disgusted after hearing this. He then asked, “Imperial Grandmother, what do you think about letting these concubines who don’t have sons out of the palace? Especially those who are virgins.”
“Isn’t that kind of you? I’m just afraid that they won’t appreciate your kindness.” The previous Empress Dowager paused for a moment. “How about this? I’ll arrange for people to gauge their and their families’ reactions. If they can accept it, then let them out..”
