Queen Changsun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sizi had broken the dull atmosphere just now.
She said to Princess Changle in the study:
"Li Zhi, you take your three sisters out for a walk first. Your father and your mother have something to discuss with Qin Ming."
Princess Changle heard this and said:
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Xiao Qingwan was stunned for a moment when she heard the conversation between the two, but before she had time to ask, she heard Qin Ming say:
"Wan'er, Zijun, please take a few princesses to Qingxinyuan to have a rest."
Xiao Qingwan and Yang Zijun nodded after hearing this.
After a while, only Qin Ming, Xiao Changxi, Li Er, Empress Changsun and Fang Xuanling were left in the study.
Li Shimin took a sip of tea and was the first to break the silence in the room. He coughed and said:
"Qin Ming, do you blame me for hiding my identity from you?"
After hearing this, Qin Ming stood up and cupped his hands and replied:
"Young men don't dare. I didn't know the identity of the saint in the past, and my words were offensive. Please forgive me."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Li Shimin instantly remembered the slander this boy had made about him, saying he was a good wife and not a son. He was cruel and ruthless. If he hadn't known that he didn't do it intentionally, he would have wanted to beat him.
Li Shimin stood up and patted Qin Ming on the shoulder and said:
"It's not a crime for those who don't know. This is not a palace. Nephew, you don't need to be so reserved. Sit down quickly. Don't talk like a niche, a saint. It sounds awkward. In private, just call me Uncle Li. "
Although Qin Ming sat down, he still replied respectfully:
"Young students don't dare."
Now it is different from before. Now that Li Er's identity has been exposed, naturally he can no longer call each other casually as before. Otherwise, if Li Er is unhappy one day, it would be unfair to punish him with disrespect.
Seeing Qin Ming's appearance, Empress Changsun comforted her and said:
"My dear nephew, have you forgotten that my aunt betrothed her daughter to you years ago? Why should we be so formal when we are all members of the same family? Do you want to regret your marriage?"
Li Shimin really didn't know how to ease the atmosphere at this time. When he heard what his eldest grandson said, he silently praised his wife in his heart and deliberately glared and asked:
"Is it true that the queen has chosen you, my dear nephew, do you want to regret your marriage?"
Qin Ming looked at the two of them speechlessly when he heard this. He just wanted to maintain basic etiquette. Is it necessary for you two to be so on-line?
Still break off the engagement? How many lives do I have to dare to cancel the princess's marriage?
But he didn't know that after this morning's trip to the academy and recalling Qin Ming's past achievements, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's regard for Qin Ming had risen by several levels. At this time, their respective identities were exposed, and they were worried that he would have a grudge against them.
Qin Ming quickly stood up and said:
"Auntie, you have misunderstood. It is my nephew's blessing to be able to marry sister Xiyao. My nephew has never had any intention of breaking off the engagement. Please tell me."
Queen Changsun nodded slightly when she heard this and said with a smile:
"That's very good. My dear nephew, please take a seat. Auntie, Your Majesty, and the Prime Minister still have many questions waiting for you to answer."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, and then sat on the sofa.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Ming seemed to have accepted everyone's identity, and then he looked at Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was still in shock. After all, he had just learned that His Majesty had betrothed the princess to Qin Ming. However, thinking about Qin Ming's talent, he soon felt relieved.
At this time, when Li Shimin looked at him, he didn't know where he was. His Majesty was hinting to him to ask questions for him.
So Fang Xuanling sorted out her thoughts, then coughed and asked:
"My dear nephew, my uncle would like to ask you, how did you invite Master Miaoying to teach at the medical school? Did you establish this medical school just to keep Master Miaoying?"
Qin Ming thought for a while and then repeated what he had said to Daochang Sun, including dividing medicine into disciplines and allowing doctors to study medicine and seek medical treatment according to their subjects. He also talked about his plan to establish a hospital in Chang'an City in the future. Read it again.
Li Shimin and others listened very carefully, and were impressed by Qin Ming's whimsical ideas in the process.
I imagined that Chang'an City would have a hospital like the one Qin Ming described in the future, and I was looking forward to it very much.
It is conceivable that after the hospital is completed, it will definitely attract many patients to seek medical treatment. After all, in this era, no one except the royal family can bring so many doctors together.
And according to Qin Ming's plan, he even planned to open such hospitals in famous states and counties throughout the Tang Dynasty. In this way, it will definitely be much more convenient for the people of the Tang Dynasty to seek medical advice.
As the old saying goes, birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws. It was just because it was too difficult to see a doctor in ancient times. The main reason was that doctors were hard to find. Doctors in most places only knew some basic prescriptions. Therefore, every year, more than half of the people died of illness in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. More than half.
But if the hospital can continue to implement it, the survival of the people will be more secure. When people's lives become more stable, the royal family's rule will become more stable.
And it doesn't stop there. If the students from the hospital start teaching one after another in the future, they will also play an important role in the prevention and control of epidemics in various places. This is very important to Datang today.
Even if this matter can be achieved, it will be enough to become famous throughout history. After all, both the medical school and Datang Hospital have set historical precedents.
Li Shimin now thought that he had to take part in this matter no matter what.
He felt that if Datang Hospital was renamed Zhenguan Hospital, wouldn't his name be immortalized throughout the ages? Even if he was gone one day, as long as the hospital was still there, wouldn't future generations always remember him? The emperor's good.
Li Shimin has always been keen on things that can bring him a good reputation.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said to Qin Ming:
"My dear nephew, I wonder if your medical school is still short of a teacher?"
Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what Li Er meant, but he still answered honestly:
"I don't dare to deceive the saint. Xiaosheng, the medical school teacher, is indeed not enough. However, during this period, the academy will continue to hire doctors with high salaries."
Although Li Shimin was still a little dissatisfied with Qin Ming's title, he did not correct him at this time. He nodded and said:
"In this case, I can send some medical doctors from the Imperial Medical Office to teach at the medical school, and I can pay these people's salaries. However, I have two conditions. I wonder if my nephew can agree?"
Qin Ming was overjoyed when he heard this. As Zhang Wenyuan gradually established a foothold in Chang'an, more and more orphans were secretly sent to Qinjiazhuang. This also led to the number of students in the medical school increasing in a few days.
It is definitely not enough to rely on the current teachers, let alone build a hospital.
For Qin Ming, the hospital is his life-saving talisman, so he naturally hopes that the hospital will be built as soon as possible. When he heard that Li Shimin was willing to send a medical doctor from the Imperial Medical Office to teach, he was naturally very happy, so he asked:
"I don't know what the conditions are? Your Majesty, you said that as long as the young man can do it, he will try his best to satisfy it."
Li Shimin stroked his short beard and said with a smile:
"The first condition is that the royal family must account for 50% of the hospital you build in the future. Of course, the royal family will provide a proportion of the money to build the hospital."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this and said:
"This is no problem. What is your Majesty's other condition?"
Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, and then said:
"I think the name Zhenguan Hospital is a good one. I hope I will be the one to raise the plaque for Zhenguan Hospital in the future. What do you think my nephew would like?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
I just said it was Datang Hospital, but why did it turn into Zhenguan Hospital in a short time?
But he was just stunned for a while, and then he understood what Li Er was thinking. However, it is a good thing for Qin Ming to be able to use the name Zhenguan Hospital. After all, with the plaque mentioned by Li Er himself, and he has a large number of physician resources, no one will offend him easily.
So he agreed after only a slight hesitation.
