Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

The next day.

Guo An got up, finished breakfast, and took Guo Shen into the palace.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were already waiting in the Wen Building.

However, Zhu Di was waiting specially, while Zhu Gaochi had the mentality of watching the show and joining in the fun.

"The humble minister Guo An, Prince of Shunde County, has met His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Guo Shen, the Crown Prince of Shunde County, is here to see His Majesty! His Majesty is here to see His Majesty the Crown Prince!"

"The two nobles are exempt from the gift!"

Guo An and Guo Shen saluted solemnly.

And Zhu Di also asked very formally.

"I wonder what the Prince of Shunde has to do with me when he brings the crown prince into the palace?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am here because my son Guo Shen wants to marry Princess Xianning!

The minister heard that Princess Shuhui of Xianning was respectful and cautious, and her actions were polite. More than being respectful and frugal, being virtuous and virtuous, being a womanly person...

Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty for an auspicious day for my son Guo Shen to get married! "

After some courtesy, the corners of Zhu Di's lips curled up slightly.

"I agree to this matter!"

"Wei Chen and my son Guo Shen thank your Majesty for your great kindness!"

"The fourth day of November is a good time to get married! What do you think of Guo Qing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I will obey Your Majesty's will!"

"Then it will be the fourth day of November!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"..."

After coming out of Wulou, Guo Shen, led by Zhu Gaochi, went to see Queen Xu, and then returned and followed Guo An out of the palace.

Now, although Queen Xu has some health problems.

However, with the help of a group of imperial doctors, it was not as serious as Guo An remembered.

Return to the house.

Guo An and Guo Shen returned to the back house together.

"The wedding date is the fourth day of November!"

"There are still two months left...enough, enough!"

After listening, Liu Baiwei was also very satisfied.

Guo Andao: "I have to send a message to the old man!"

Liu Baiwei nodded slightly, "What His Highness said is absolutely true, but there will definitely be a lot of relatives coming by then.

The house needs to prepare more houses! "

Guo An nodded, "I'll ask Guo Ang to buy two more houses in the surrounding area soon!"

Then, Guo An talked with Liu Baiwei some more, then went to the study and started writing a letter.

Half an hour later.

A group of Shunde guards rode out of Shunde County Prince's Mansion and headed directly towards Xingtai County, Shunde Mansion.

at the same time.

The news that Guo Shen, the crown prince of Shunde County, has decided to marry Princess Xianning has slowly begun to spread in the capital!

……

However, these did not have any impact on the Shunde County Prince's Mansion.

And in Shunde County Prince's Mansion.

Guo Shen stared at the knife handed over by Han Xi, with a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Dad, just use this knife to cut on the shoulder?"

"It's just a small knife and a small cut at random. What are you afraid of?"

Guo An scolded softly and then ordered Xu Yong beside him.

"Xu Yong, come and cut me!"

"Your Highness, the general will not dare!"

Xu Yong was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.

Guo An glared and said, "This is to inoculate me with cowpox, and I'm not asking you to hurt me intentionally, so why don't you dare?"

Xu Yong still shook his head, "How dare the general cut His Highness's shoulder with a knife?"

Guo An grimaced and let out a sullen sigh, "Among all the people here, only you are the most skilled and the best at using a knife. Only you can make me less painful. If I ask you to do it, you will do it!"

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, then thought for a long time, and continued: "Your Highness, why don't you stop getting vaccinated with cowpox? Just let the villains protect you and get vaccinated with cowpox!"

"nonsense!"

Guo An was immediately furious, "If I don't vaccinate cowpox, what will I vaccinate? Not only will I be vaccinated, but Guo Shen, Guo Lu, all the servants in the house, and you Shunde guards will also be vaccinated!"

"As for the princess and her maids, they don't go out of the house very often, so there is no need to plant..."

"Your Highness..."

Xu Yong was shocked.

Guo An said impatiently: "Stop nagging, you didn't seize the opportunity to scratch us with a knife? If you miss this opportunity, you will never experience it again!"

Xu Yong's face turned pale, and just when he was about to say something, Guo An urged again: Hurry and finish planting for us, and you Shunde Guards will plant it one by one! "

"..."

Xu Yong was silent for a moment, his face hardened, and he bowed his hands in salute to Guo An.

"General, I will obey His Highness's orders!"

After saying that, he took the sharp knife from Guo An's hand.

Guo An neatly rolled up his sleeves and exposed his shoulders.

Xu Yong took a look and said cautiously: "Your Highness, the general has offended me!"

"Be neat!"

Guo An said solemnly, and then looked at Han Shi aside.

"Excuse me, Dr. Han Liang, please be ready!"

Han Xi nodded hurriedly, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I have already prepared!"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly, then sat on a chair nearby and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Yong also glanced at Han Xi who was standing aside. When he saw Han Xi nodded slightly, Xu Yong looked determined.

He grabbed Guo An's shoulder with one hand and exerted force with the other hand. Guo An's whole body tightened and a small opening appeared on his arm.

Han Shi stepped forward directly, holding a cotton swab in his hand, dipped it in a small glass bottle, and then placed it on Guo An's small wound.

Ming Dynasty planted a lot of cotton, so Guo An casually made thousands of cotton swabs.

"hiss……"

Guo An couldn't help but take a cold breath.

Fortunately, it will be over soon.

Han Xi raised his hands towards Guo An and said apologetically: "The villain has hurt Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"..."

Why do you feel this is so weird?

Guo An frowned and then waved his hand.

"If you get vaccinated, you get vaccinated, no need to say more!"

Then, he asked Guo Ang to wrap a small strip of cloth around the wound and then stood up.

"Come Shen'er!"

Hearing this, Guo Shen's expression tightened, but he still sat down as he was told.

This time, Xu Yong is the surgeon!

"Your Highness, the general has offended me!"

"Excuse me, General Xu!"

Guo Shen nodded slightly.

Immediately, Xu Yong stopped being polite and grabbed his shoulder with one hand and used a knife with the other.

On the side, Han Shi also hurriedly took out another cotton swab, dipped it in cow's smallpox, and then dipped it on Guo Shen's shoulder.

As Guo Anglisuo wrapped the cloth strip, Guo Shen's cowpox vaccination was completed!

"So that's how you get vaccinated against cowpox!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded next to Guo An, and Guo An was startled.

Looking back, his expression was even weirder.

"Your Majesty, how do you..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo An came to his senses and quickly saluted Zhu Di. "I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is here to welcome you. I am a little far away from you, so please forgive me!"

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

"I will see your Majesty at last!"

"I see your majesty..."

Following Guo An's words, everyone in the courtyard also noticed Zhu Di, and they all quickly saluted Zhu Di with fear on their faces.

Zhu Di glared at Guo An, and then said to everyone in the courtyard with a gentle face: "Everyone, please get up, we are just curious to see, you continue to vaccinate with cowpox!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xu Yong, Han Xi and others responded and continued to vaccinate.

However, this time their movements were quieter.

However, everyone's movements became faster.

Each and every one of them, even if they scratched their shoulders with a knife, remained silent.

After all, His Majesty the Ming Emperor was standing by, staring curiously.

With such a good opportunity, as soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty, they should perform well.

Fortunately, it was just a small cut, not an arm. Otherwise, Guo An would suspect that these soldiers would chop off all their arms under Zhu Di's watch!
After watching for a while, Zhu Di and Guo An entered the house.

Guo Ang took several maids and served hot tea.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Di asked slowly: "Guo Qing, since the medicine to treat the pox epidemic can be developed, can the medicine to treat the queen's disease be developed?"

"The Queen's condition..."

Guo An was startled, frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "I still want to forgive you, Your Majesty, I have always heard that the Queen is ill.

But this matter is a deep secret in the palace, and the ministers never dare to inquire. I wonder if Han Shi and others can enter the palace and see the Queen Mother? "

"no!"

Zhu Di shook his head directly, "This matter was shown to the queen by the female doctors trained by Han Xi and Dai Sigong!"

"As for good doctors like Han Xi and Dai Sigong, they only prescribed some medicines for the Queen to regulate her body!"

"I see!"

Guo An's guess may have come true!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. If good doctors like Dai Sigong and Han Xi don't see the patient in person, they won't be able to prescribe the right medicine!"

Zhu Di frowned directly.

Guo An said again: "Your Majesty, in view of the special status of the Queen, Han Xi and Dai Sigong are not allowed to directly treat the Queen's illness!"

"Ok?"

At this time, Zhu Di reacted and looked at Guo An hurriedly.

"What good advice does Guo Qing have?"

Guo An said: "Your Majesty, although I don't know what kind of disease the Queen has contracted.

But Wei Chen feels that among the thousands of women in the Ming Dynasty, the Queen must not be the only one who has contracted this disease! "

Zhu Di's eyes brightened and he urged: "Keep talking..."

"Wei Chen thinks that your Majesty can send someone to find a woman suffering from the same illness as the Queen!

Then, let good doctors like Han Xi and Dai Sigong treat those women.

In this way, not only can those women get free treatment from my Ming Dynasty imperial doctor, but the Queen can also take the same medicine as those girls! "

"The woman who had the same disease as the queen..."

Zhu Di murmured a few words to himself, then stood up and walked outside with excitement on his face.

"Guo Qing's plan is very clever!"

……

"Yi Shiha, hurry up and summon Wang Zhen!"

After getting on the carriage, Zhu Di gave direct instructions.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yi Shiha felt a hint in his heart and responded quickly.

Immediately, he quickly ordered the guards beside him, and the guards quickly ran towards the Jinyiwei Yamen.

When Zhu Di returned to the palace, Wang Zhen also hurried in with a look on his face.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Di waved his hand.

After Wang Zhen got up, he quickly looked at Zhu Di.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know why I summoned my ministers so urgently, but what happened?"

Zhu Di looked at the servants in the palace.

The servants hurriedly bowed towards Zhu Di and retreated quickly.

Only then did Zhu Di look solemn: "Wang Zhen, Yi Shiha, I want you to find a few women secretly!"

"Woman?"

Wang Zhen was stunned.

Yi Shiha on the side was refreshed. What else happened to him? .

"Your Majesty, what kind of woman is she?"

Zhu Di said: "One of you is in charge of the inside of the palace, and the other is in charge of outside the palace, but you should have heard that the queen has been ill in the past two years, and has even become worse day by day..."

Wang Zhen and Yi Shiha looked solemn, "Your Majesty, all the servants (servants) have heard about it!"

"We want you to find a few women with the same condition as the queen. Once you find them, tell their families clearly, and you can even bring their families to the capital together!
We will let the imperial doctors Han Xi and Dai Sigong treat them together. Not only will we not charge them any money, we will also take care of their food and drink expenses in the capital! "

Wang Zhen and Yi Shiha looked solemn, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will find such a woman for Your Majesty as soon as possible!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and continued: "Remember, this matter must be made clear and cannot be forced upon others!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhen and Yi Shiha nodded again.

As for whether to force others to do something difficult, they all know this in their hearts, and the Queen is the most important thing in everything!

Zhu Di said again: "You must keep this matter secret!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, let's go down and make arrangements!"

"Wei Chen (servant) resign!"

After leaving the palace gate, Wang Zhen and Yi Shiha bowed their hands to each other and left.

Now, although there is nothing dirty between them.

However, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have begun to supervise and restrict each other, and there is also competition!

Less than half an hour.

The entire palace and royal guards sent out a large number of spies.

On the other side.

The entire vaccination incident at the Shunde County Prince's Mansion lasted for two days.

Han Shi and his few disciples were almost exhausted.

However, what made them happy was that when they left the Shunde County Prince's Mansion, they were forced to receive 500 taels of silver.

In just two days, they could earn so much money, it was worth it no matter how tired they were!

……

Guocun, Xingtai County, Shunde Prefecture!
Even if Guo An is named the King of Shunde County, the entire Xingtai County will be Guo An's fiefdom.

However, Guo's father still lived in Guocun and did not move out.

However, the Guo family's courtyard was expanded a bit, and a group of soldiers were stationed around the courtyard.

In addition, there are some newly reclaimed fertile fields around Guocun, as well as a large social school.

There is also an additional cement road between Guocun and Xingtai County.

Gentlemen and merchants often come from the direction of Xingtai County to pay homage to the old man of the Guo family.

This day.

Several carriages are driving slowly on the cement road!

It was several squires and wealthy families in Xingtai County who sent their children to study in Guocun Society.

At the same time, I would like to pay a visit to Mr. Guo!
"Lao Wu, you have also been studying at Guocun Society for a few months, and you know the rules.

Look, those people who followed His Highness the County Prince to work as errands in Prince Yan’s Mansion in the early years are now all officials and are highly valued by the court!
I was reserved back then, but now it’s too late to regret it!
When you go, you must study hard. If you can build a good relationship with the direct descendants of the Guo family, try your best to build a good relationship.

However, you must not form cliques for personal gain, and you must not cause any trouble..."

"Dad, don't worry, I know all this!"

"However, those people in the Guo family were originally indifferent, and now there is a county prince and four viscounts. Each of them is not only indifferent, but also arrogant. The children can only get along slowly!"

"Okay! Don't worry..."
