"Huh? Wei Aiqing, what's wrong with my award?"
In the Ganlu Hall, as soon as Li Er announced his decision to reward Li Zexuan, Wei Zheng jumped out to object. This made Lao Li very unhappy and quite angry. After all, this arrangement was a decision he made after careful consideration.
It is undeniable that Li Zexuan's talent in engineering is unparalleled, and he was very conscientious during his tenure as the headmaster of Yanhuang Academy. But on the other hand, Li Zexuan's attainments in martial arts and military matters are not bad at all. First of all, His martial arts level not only surpasses all his peers, but even most of the older generation is far behind him; secondly, the invention of plate armor, vanadium steel horse armor, vanadium steel horse armor, and horseshoes, as well as the invention of plate armor, vanadium steel horse armor, and horseshoes. This time he proposed a plan to conquer Liang Shidu. These all show that Li Zexuan is very talented in military strategy and is a good seedling!
In addition, Li Er felt that a martial arts master who was well versed in engineering was simply a person born specifically for war. Li Er, who had experienced taking control of the city to suppress the rebellion in March, had become deeply aware of the huge role engineering played in the direction of the war.
The Turks are powerful and have millions of people who can control strings. If they can apply the most advanced engineering technology to the war, Li Er feels that Datang's chances of winning will be even greater!
And Li Zexuan is a perfect combination of engineering and military, so Li Er made up his mind to let Li Zexuan join the army as the clerk, just to see what different sparks can be produced when engineering and the army collide!
It has to be said that Li Er's mind is open enough and his ideas are bold enough. He will not regard new things as aliens, but will think about how to make use of new things. This is probably not the case for any other emperor. Have such a tolerant heart!
Facing Li Er's question, Wei Zheng was not afraid. He cupped his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I do not deny that the Marquis of Yong'an has outstanding literary talent and profound knowledge. Therefore, even though he is in the position of the crown prince's youngest protector at a young age, veteran minister There has never been any objection! But the battle formation and military affairs determine the life and death of the Tang Dynasty. Marquis Yongan is good at literary affairs, how can he be rashly sent to serve in the army? If it delays the military aircraft war, the consequences will be disastrous! "
As soon as the words were spoken, everything was silent!
Li Zexuan, who was standing next to Wei Zheng, could not help but frown at this moment. Although he had not planned to join the army before, but now that Wei Zheng spoke so unfavorably of him, Li Zexuan was immediately unconvinced. When he was about to speak to refute, Cheng Yaojin spoke before him!
"Bah! Wei Xuancheng, don't just rely on your old age here!"
When Cheng Yaojin heard that Li Er wanted Li Zexuan to serve as the secretary of the Xuanjia Army, he was still happy, because from the beginning, Lao Cheng wanted Li Zexuan to gain experience in the army, because the Tang Dynasty emphasized military merit. ah! So when Wei Zheng jumped out to object, Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold back, so he jumped out too and said angrily:
"Marquis Yong'an studied under Master Lingxu, and his martial arts skills are not as good as mine. Moreover, because of Han Tianhu, Marquis Yong'an is also a relative of the pharmacist. So if you want to learn the art of war, can't you learn it at any time? There are also the previous Guancheng counterinsurgency and conquests. Liang Shidu, these two battles were won so smoothly because of the contribution of Marquis Yong'an! Why is it that Miao Zi, such a good general, is regarded as a weak scholar with no knowledge of military affairs in your mouth~?"
Li Jing, who had rarely gone to court in the morning, did not expect to be pulled out to top the tank. He couldn't help but shook his head, but he did not refute. If it was true as Cheng Yaojin said, if Li Zexuan asked him for advice on the art of war, he would not Will refuse!
Wei Zheng blushed and retorted: "Gong Lu, you are using strong words! In the battle to quell the rebellion in Guancheng and conquer Liangshidu, Marquis Yong'an did make a great contribution, but he was just making plans behind the scenes, which can be used by the army. Fighting is not what Marquis Yongan is good at. If Your Majesty forcibly places Marquis Yongan in the Xuanjia Army, it will only be counterproductive!"
In fact, the reason why Wei Zheng was so fiercely opposed to Li Zexuan joining the army was because he had some selfish motives. He admired Li Zexuan very much and hoped that Li Zexuan would develop better in civil affairs. If nothing else, as long as Li Zexuan could develop Yanhuang Academy. Well, that would definitely benefit countless people, but Li Er suddenly wanted Li Zexuan to join the army. How could Wei Zheng have the heart to let such a good prospect bury himself in the army?
Cheng Yaojin grinned and sneered: "I'm afraid Wei Zuocheng doesn't know what his job is to record affairs and join the army, right? Marching and fighting are the general's business, what does it have to do with recording affairs and joining the army? In my opinion, just rely on Marquis Yong’an’s current ability is more than enough to serve as a sixth-grade soldier!”
When Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but startled. He had been so happy just now, but he almost forgot about it!
Li Jing took this opportunity and stepped forward and said: "Lu Shi joins the army as a subordinate of the general. He is in charge of the general records of all Cao Cao's books, conducts good and evil deeds, and makes suggestions for the general. From this aspect, Lu Shi joins the army. It can be regarded as a bias in the army." It would be most suitable for a civil official position to be filled by a man like Yong'an Hou who is full of talent and knowledge and has some knowledge of military affairs!"
"this..."
Wei Zheng didn't expect that Li Jing, who always stayed out of government affairs and kept a low profile, would express his opinions on this matter, and he couldn't help but be caught off guard.
Li Er, who was "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight", saw that the time was ripe at this time, and announced with finality: "What the pharmacist said is reasonable. I also had this consideration when I appointed Li Zexuan to serve as the recorder of the Xuanjia Army and join the army. And The Xuanjia Army is the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. The replacement of armor and equipment for the Xuanjia Army must be handled by Li Zexuan himself! There is no need to discuss this matter again! Marquis Yong'an, are you willing to join the army as a recorder of the Xuanjia Army? ?”
After saying that, Li Er's tiger eyes stared at Li Zexuan motionless.
Li Zexuan suddenly felt sorry for Alexander, because he was not mentally prepared to join the Xuanjia Army.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing. Seeing that both of them were nodding towards him, Li Zexuan gritted his teeth, stepped forward and bowed: "I am willing to share your worries with your majesty and contribute to the Xuanjia Army! But! I am not willing to let go of this at Yanhuang Academy, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to take on two positions at the same time!"
As early as after the Tang army pacified Shuofang City, Li Zexuan had a premonition that he would participate in the future national war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks. Now he just took this opportunity to participate in the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Only by participating in it can he feel at ease!
Because the Turks were too powerful, Datang had no 100% chance of winning in a battle with them. At most, it was a 50-50 split. Although according to official history, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks in the third year of Zhenguan, the current Tang Dynasty has deviated from the original history in many places. God knows whether the Tang Dynasty can still win in this national war as usual?
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Li Zexuan must participate in the Tang army's pre-war preparations to add more winning chips to the Tang Dynasty, until the balance of victory completely tilts towards the Tang Dynasty, and the 50-50 odds turn into 70-30 or even 100 Only then will Li Zexuan feel at ease!
Otherwise, if he wants to take action when the war is not good for the Tang Dynasty, it will be too late!
Based on this consideration, Li Zexuan accepted this job! Otherwise, with his lazy temperament that can lie down and never stand, he would never be able to cause trouble for himself!
"Okay! I'm sure!"
Hearing this, not only Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing were overjoyed, but Li Er was also overjoyed. He laughed loudly and said, "Duan Zhixuan, I will transfer Marquis Yong'an to the Xuanjia Army. You must work together with him to transfer Xuanjia." The Xuanjia Army has been built into the best cavalry in the world! If the Xuanjia Army’s combat effectiveness does not meet my expectations, then I will only ask you~!”
Duan Zhixuan's heart trembled, but at the same time he felt a surge of pride. He solemnly clasped his fists and said, "I will do my best to build the best cavalry in the world for Your Majesty!"
Li Er nodded, and then said: "If you have nothing to do, please retreat from the court!"
After that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he turned his attention to Li Zexuan!
If he remembers it correctly, Li Zexuan should have another big event in the morning today!
Feeling His Majesty Li Er's gaze, Li Zexuan couldn't help but be startled, but he quickly came to his senses. He quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to say!"
Hearing this, all the officials in the palace turned their attention to Li Zexuan.
By the way, today's morning court is really lively. It has been open since around Chen time until now, and the sun is almost reaching the top of the head. Many ministers who have not eaten breakfast are already so hungry that their stomachs are growling. Originally, I heard what Li Er just said. , everyone thought they were about to retreat from the court, but no one expected that at the critical moment, the protagonist of today's morning court - Li Zexuan would intervene again. This morning court was really full of twists and turns!
"Oh? What else does Marquis Yong'an have to do? Tell me quickly!"
Li Er pretended to be curious and asked knowingly.
Li Zexuan said loudly: "Your Majesty, I request that Yanhuang Academy be restructured and divided into the College of Engineering and the School of Medicine. As the name suggests, the School of Engineering specializes in engineering and the School of Medicine specializes in medicine. Although the two colleges belong to the same Yanhuang Academy, they are completely isolated from each other. I plan to use the teaching method of the Imperial Medical Office to open a medical school. At that time, I will not only recruit men who are interested in medicine, but also women who are somewhat proficient in medical skills and come from medical families! Please give me your permission!"
After he finished speaking, everyone in the court except Li Er looked at Li Zexuan in shock!
How dare he think of letting women enter school!
Many ministers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
"Absurd! Absolutely ridiculous!"
Kong Yingda stood up angrily and scolded: "Yong'an Hou, you want to develop engineering in Yunshan, I won't stop you, because your engineering can indeed bring a lot of convenience to the people of the Tang Dynasty! But you let male and female students coexist. First Academy, I firmly cannot agree!
Our ancestors have taught us, "Guide them with virtue, unite them with propriety, and show shame and dignity." Since ancient times, men and women have been differentiated. If men and women study together in the same academy, it will not only be offensive to morals, but also violate the "Five Ethics" of Confucianism. It's not only a courtesy, but it will also damage the woman's reputation. I will not agree to it! "
As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yingda is naturally the most staunch defender of Confucianism. Although he is different from some narrow-minded and bitter Confucian scholars who generally reject other schools of thought, he will not make any concessions in terms of the ethics of men and women.
Li Zexuan retorted: "Kong Jijiu, I just said that before the medical school recruits students, I will have the medical school and the engineering school completely separated. From now on, the medical school will be completely like the Imperial Medical Office, specializing in training There is no gender distinction among doctors who are interested in medicine, and the Imperial Medical Office recruits many female students every year, so why can't my medical school recruit them?"
Although, he did have some issues with Kong Yingda in the past, but today it was just a matter of fact, not specifically against Kong Yingda for revenge.
Kong Yingda said without giving in: "The Imperial Medical Office is the Imperial Medical Office, and your medical school is a medical school! The Imperial Medical Office recruits female students to train female medical officers for the nobles in the palace. Why does your medical school recruit female students?"
Li Zexuan replied: "Of course it is to treat folk women! The Imperial Medical Office trains female medical officers for the nobles in the palace, why can't the medical school train female doctors for folk women? Bao Gu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has excellent medical skills and is meticulous. She is good at acupuncture and specializes in treating diseases. Known for her cancer and warts, she has long followed her husband, Ge Xianweng, in refining alchemy and practicing medicine in Luofu Mountain, Guangdong. She treated diseases and benefited the people. She became famous in the Lingnan area and her name will go down in history!
As a great scholar of the generation, why could Kong Jijiu not tolerate the thousands of female doctors who aspired to become Bao Gu? Your Majesty has always loved the people as his sons. Men in this world are His Majesty's subjects. Aren't women the same? If women are sick, don’t they need a female doctor? "
"this...."
Hearing this, Kong Yingda was speechless for a moment, but after a moment of pause, he still said stubbornly: "They say you can't hide a disease and avoid medical treatment. So what if a woman is sick and is diagnosed and treated by a male doctor? Besides, there is no shortage of female doctors in today's world. There’s no need for your medical school to bother you!”
Li Zexuan couldn't help but said: "Kong Jijiu was still talking about the difference between men and women just now, and now he is saying that you can't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment! Aren't you contradicting each other? If a woman suffers from some very private illness, in order to preserve her reputation, they will I would rather die of illness than seek treatment from a male doctor. At that time, what should you say to Kong Jijiu?"
"..."
Kong Yingda was immediately speechless.
All the ministers in the court were silent at this moment. As soon as Li Zexuan entered the palace today, he presented new equipment such as plate armor and vanadium steel horses, and single-handedly took on the supply of logistics equipment for the Xuanjia Army. The earth improved. The combat power of the Xuanjia Army cannot be wiped out by anyone. It would be a bit unkind to veto Li Zexuan's proposal at this time;
Secondly, who doesn’t have women in this family? What Li Zexuan said later is right. Some women’s private diseases are indeed not suitable for male doctors to diagnose and treat. Therefore, they actually hope that Yanhuang Academy Medical College can train more female doctors. of!
