The 66th will hold the jade bow like a full moon (three)

  Cui hurried into the house and quietly reported to Gao Lao, who was directing the servants to clean up, "Young Master has sent over the things that Master wants."

  It's really one good thing after another, Gao Daren has been promoted to Guangdong's Governor, and the master will get what he wants. With these things in hand, not to mention Fu Cha Ge Ge, maybe even Di Fu Jun can be calculated.

  "Oh?" Gao Lu's eyes lit up, "After several months, it's finally done. How much is there?"

  "Cloud brocade, Shu brocade, embroidered silk, carved silk... and Wu silk, each sent four pieces to the master. Another batch was sent with the tribute to the Imperial Household Department. The young master has already instructed his subordinates to calculate it carefully, and when the opportunity arises, let these items enter the Qianxi Second Residence." Cui Xuan said in a low voice, "The young master also reminded that there are marks on the leftover materials, so be careful not to harm yourself, Master."

  Gao Lu Wei heard the words and her lips curved slightly. These were things she had discussed with her elder brother before entering the palace, how could she not remember? "Take advantage of this opportunity to move to Qian Xi's second residence, hurry up and put your things in storage."

  "Yes."

  She glanced at the lively and busy West Wing, then looked towards the two Qian Xi, thinking to herself that she had to think of a way to get these things into their hands. Even if it was through borrowing their hands... that would be fine too.

  No, no hurry... it's not time yet. She tried to calm herself down, but didn't know that every move of the Gao family had already been reported to Yunzhu.

  "In the future, you must carefully handle all the materials that I will be using. If you are unsure, you can consult Suwen or Lingzhu." Yunzhu instructed Siqi. She was still unclear how Gao Shi distinguished these things, but she trusted the people she had cultivated over the years. Not to mention Suwen and Lingzhu's medical skills, even Siqi was secretly trained because of her extreme familiarity with fabrics and her sensitive nose... Jinxiang always thought he was irreplaceable, unaware that Yunzhu had always distinguished between trust and dependence. Having more talent is better, but whether or not to use it, and how to use it, is another matter."

  "Yè Jiějiě, have our people from the Imperial Household Department keep a close eye on the Gāo and Jīn families." The future Shùjiā Huáng Guìfēi also came from the Imperial Household Department, her brother Jīn Jiǎn even became the Minister of Personnel, a powerful figure. Should we poison Jīn Lí? No, it's not as good as directly poisoning Jīn Jiǎn and his brothers to cut off the Jīn family's future prospects. Let's observe for now.

  "Yes." Yeh's nanny was more aware than Yunzhu of the power and ambition of these inner court families, and she was somewhat surprised by her master's keen intuition.

  After Auntie Ye left, Yunzhu privately asked Linghui: "How is our nail in the Jin family now?"

  Ling Xue smiled and replied, "Master's actions are never wrong. Now one is under Jin Sanbao's command, the other is Jin Jianchang's attendant, making it convenient to do things without drawing attention."

  Imperial Household Department

  Yunzhu smiled faintly, not because she valued the imperial consorts from the Inner Palace, such as Gao and Jin, but because she valued the influence of the Inner Palace on the harem. One day, she would cut this influence to the lowest level, never allowing it to dominate the world.

  "Hmm, have all the people from Yuqing Palace been arranged? For the next few days, you and Su Wei help keep an eye on Guo Mama, don't let anything go wrong."

  From the beginning, she set up all the division of labor positions in Qian Xi Er Guo extremely finely. Chang Qing was still the general manager of Qian Xi Er Guo, overseeing the miscellaneous affairs of Qian Xi Er Guo. Under her were ten or so eunuchs and palace maids who managed various tasks, including reception, attendance, study room, treasury, needlework room, tea and fruit room, watch house, kitchen, accounts, etc. Each person's work responsibilities were clearly defined and handed over, also taking into account the modern concept of mutual supervision and management, with clear logic and high efficiency in operation.

  "It's all arranged." These people, some were demoted, some remained in their original positions, and some were transferred to new locations... All of these decisions were made after careful observation during this period. Who was loyal and diligent, who got along with whom, who had other masters behind them - Ling Xiu told Yun Zhu about all of these things, so she would be aware of the situation.

  "Well done. However, it's common for the slaves in this palace to have multiple masters behind their backs. It takes a long time to figure out who is reliable... Among the second-grade palace maids by your side, which one do you think is useful?"

  Ling Xue knew that she was not talking about the ones brought into the palace from the Fu Cha family, but rather the palace maids assigned here. There were four of them, two of whom were informants planted from elsewhere, one seemed normal for now, and one was a servant under the name of the Fu Cha family, named Ming Xin.

  "How is Ming Xin?"

  "The girl is quite lively, Uncle thinks she's okay, loves to talk and laugh, but hasn't said anything that shouldn't be said."

  "Tomorrow, tell Guo to promote her first and fill the six positions of the top-ranking palace maid. Then, select one from the third-ranking maids to supplement the number of second-ranking maids. Mingxin, let her do Linglong's previous work for now."

  "Yes."

  Next, Yunzhu devoted most of her energy to Jingren Palace and Nan Sansuo. The new arrivals at Yuqing Palace were busy adapting to their new environment. Fucha Fulinga had always been thinking of relying on Yunzhu, and now that she was pregnant, she was even more cautious, staying indoors every day in the first wing room on the left side of the second courtyard, Erjin Yuan, after moving in. Gaolüwei wanted to compete for favor, but she had to see Hongli and Yunzhu's faces first. Unfortunately, one of them was being held by Yongzheng for daily polishing and carving, while the other had little time to stay in Qianxi Second House. She could only hide her strength and wait for an opportunity. The other concubines were even more afraid to make any moves under the supervision of Guo Mama and others.

  Actually, Fu Cha and Gao Luwei also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to buy a few more people while arranging various tasks for Qian Xi's second job, but they didn't have the chance... From this well-arranged plan, they also saw Yunzhu's management skills for the first time. If it weren't for the people they had bought beforehand, it would be seamless and impossible to find any flaws.

  Of course, the errands have their good and bad sides. Some people are satisfied with the arrangement, while others are not. However, Guo said that errands are not fixed, and those who perform well over the year will be rewarded and promoted, while those who do not will be punished, even dismissed or demoted...

  Who doesn't know that the Fourth Prince's back palace belongs to the eldest princess, with the highest status and favoritism? Even the Emperor attaches great importance to her. The vast majority of people who heard this were eager to show their loyalty and dedication, striving for a future either in or out of the palace, whether it be for the sake of face or to become a nanny...

  As for Fu Cha Ge Ge and Gao Ge Ge? Sorry, without equal status and power, the palace struggle will not start. These lowly servants still want to live... choose thick legs to hug.

  ……

  Yongzheng, who had been secretly paying attention to the movements of Qianxi, was even more satisfied with Yunzhu. The imperial son's consort should have such demeanor and ability, and be able to subdue those below her, making plotting unnecessary.

  More than half a month had passed, and Fu Hui's illness was gradually taking a turn for the better. Sun Taiyi, who had originally diagnosed that Eighth Brother would not live for more than a few months after feeling his pulse, joyfully ran to report back to the Emperor, saying that if he continued to recuperate like this, Eighth Brother might be able to recover.

  "This is to say, if he takes good care of himself, he can live to adulthood, get married and have children?" Not having to go through the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person again, Yongzheng was both surprised and delighted. Thinking about how his body had been light and agile for half a year now, with no recurrence of headaches, and his spirit becoming more and more robust, he couldn't help but increase his confidence in Yunzhu.

  "This," Dr. Sun also dared not to guarantee, "still depends on the subsequent nursing of Eighth Prince, if there is an effect in these days, it's okay. It's just that if something happens again, then...". The implication was that if anything else happened, it would be no good.

  Yongzheng was silent. This was already not bad, half a month ago, the imperial physicians all agreed that Fuhui's five zang and six fu organs were severely damaged and his life would not last long. He only had three sons left, so it was best to preserve what he could.

  "I have another piece of good news to report to Your Majesty."

  He came back to himself and said, "Speak."

  "Years ago, the Emperor ordered me to verify whether cowpox can prevent smallpox. The results are already out." Dr. Sun's face couldn't hide his joy, this was a major breakthrough in medicine, as a participant, how could he not feel honored? "Those healthy death row inmates who were inoculated with cowpox only had a slight fever for a few days and then recovered, after that they would never contract smallpox. Later I found more subjects with weak bodies, only one who was already ill didn't make it, the rest all survived under careful care...the effect of cowpox is indeed safer than human smallpox."

  "Is it confirmed?" Despite having 60-70% confidence in this matter, Yongzheng still found it hard to believe at the moment of confirmation. Smallpox, a disease that had threatened human life for thousands of years and had never been completely conquered, was actually solved by his own hands! Just this one achievement alone should be enough to prevent future generations from calling him a cruel ruler or an emperor who confiscates property!

  Yongzheng's joy is hard to express. Since his accession, he has been rectifying the official system with severe measures and pushing for reform, which has already led to a lot of criticism. Although there was a divine omen last year that alleviated this hidden conflict, it did not bring lasting benefits from benevolent governance. Moreover, as another war is about to break out in the northwest, he really needs this virtuous deed to stabilize people's minds for the sake of his descendants!

  "Go and draft a memorial, see how to promote this cowpox appropriately, tomorrow at the imperial court... I will let the high officials of the imperial court and local officials cooperate."

  "Yes, sir." Dr. Sun retreated with surprise and joy, as this matter was being carried out under his own hands, the merits of which need not be mentioned, and his name would also go down in medical history.

  The next day, Yongzheng announced this matter in the imperial court.

  One stone can stir up a thousand waves! Can heaven really prevent it? Is it enough to just vaccinate against cowpox?! And is cowpox safer than smallpox, even for infants as young as several months old, without any risk to their lives?! This is truly unbelievable!

  All doubts were answered in detail by several imperial physicians at the Taiyi Hospital, and they confirmed that what the emperor said was true.

  Indeed, the divine aura has emerged, and even the heavenly flower is no longer a threat?! Many people have strange expressions, wondering if it's the emperor creating momentum for himself? But can such things be faked?

  Originally, there were not a few relatives of Li Xian who sympathized with him and were moved by his words, but they retreated from their wild ambitions.

  Afterwards, Yongzheng ordered Li Guangdi, Duke of the First Rank, and several chief physicians including Sun Taizhen from the Imperial Hospital to fully cooperate in promoting cowpox inoculation throughout the country.

  Confident in cowpox, and it was their own family who presented this matter to the emperor... The Fuca clan became the first among the Eight Banners to stand out and accept vaccination... As a result, all vaccinations were successful. With good examples, princes and high-ranking officials one by one did not fall behind, as long as they had not contracted smallpox before, they all invited imperial physicians to vaccinate at home... Yongzheng rewarded the Fuca Mansion with many things, and promoted Li Rongbao's second son, Fu Qing, from the second-class Imperial Guard to a deputy general in Shanxi.

  The emperor really doted on the Fuca clan! Many clever and resourceful princes, ministers, and high officials thought that from start to finish, neither the emperor nor the Imperial Hospital had said who discovered and proposed this cowpox... and again suspected the head of the Fuca household.

  "This Fuca family is indeed a talented family." The newly appointed Governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, Ertai, said with his eyes closed, from the Ma Qi and Ma Wu of the Kangxi dynasty to the current Ma Qi and Li Rongbao... and then to the future when the Fourth Prince takes power, the Fuca family will be in a prosperous period.

  Sanzi E Bian said discontentedly: "It's not necessarily a trick of the Fu Cha family."

  "You understand?" Erlai glanced at him and took a sip of tea, saying: "If Li Rongbao didn't have some ability, do you think the Emperor would value him and give his daughter to the Fourth Prince as his legitimate princess? Those who can gain the Emperor's favor are not incompetent! As for Li Rongbao's sons, Fu Guangcheng and Fu Qing's future prospects don't need to be mentioned. Just one Fu Heng by the Fourth Prince's side is not a mediocre person... You all must work hard, I can only provide you with good conditions, whether you become a dragon or an insect depends on your own efforts."

  It's unlikely that the Emperor would reward him so generously just for being the first to try cowpox inoculation, so this matter was probably orchestrated by the Fuca family. After entering the Hanlin Academy for many years, O Yong'an asked with a hint of meaning, "Ama, do we want to follow the Fuca family..."

  Ertai shook his head: "Let your mother and daughter-in-law have more contact with the Akdun family." What a pity, Xilin Jueluo's family had already married off one daughter to the Fuca family. Otherwise, with the upbringing of the Fuca family, Li Rongbao's illegitimate daughter would be a good match for San'er.

  It's said that Ertai and Li Rongbao are similar in that they both have many sons, but Ertai's wife, Mai Shi, gave birth to six sons and still didn't have a daughter. He has a deep affection for his wife and didn't take any concubines, so it was destined that he wouldn't have a daughter. Otherwise, with his current high position, he wouldn't worry about not being able to marry into the royal family. For the sake of his sons' futures, he really put in a lot of effort, and all the marriages he arranged for them were with families from high-ranking officials. The only exception was his second son, Eshi, whose first wife, Piao Shi, passed away early, and the one who filled her place was from a humble background. However, marrying a daughter-in-law is different from giving away a daughter, and although she came from a lowly background, her influence wasn't small. He wouldn't have made a mistake in his judgment, just like how Gao Bin also rose to become the Governor of Guangdong. And there's also a younger daughter who was married off to the Fourth Prince, relying on Gao Bin's power and schemes, it's hard to say what the future holds for the Gao family.

  O Yong'an nodded, Akedun was his paternal uncle's younger brother, and his legitimate daughter had married Li Rongbao's third son Fu Ning. In this way, the two families were also somewhat related by marriage. As high-ranking officials in the imperial court, the Fuca family was a royal son-in-law clan, so they didn't dare to have too much contact with each other, lest they be suspected of forming a clique.

  He just had an epiphany, but didn't know his Ama had already thought of the Fuca family from the Gao family...
