The fact that a woman practiced medicine reminded Zhu Houzhao of the TV series starring Liu Shishi in his previous life: "The Legend of the Female Doctor Ming Fei". The story in the TV series is of course not historical fact. There are not so many love stories between two emperors and a female doctor.
But history does have its prototype. This person was named Tan Yunxian, a female doctor who lived very long and lived for more than ninety years. When she was Zhu Houzhao's age, the emperor was still Zhu Qiyu. When she died, she was already in the 30th year of Jiajing. Five years.
Compared to trusting those Taoist priests when Hongzhi was in poor health, Zhu Houzhao would rather trust this doctor.
There were four famous female doctors in ancient China: Bao Gu in the Jin Dynasty, Yi Yan in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiaoniang in the Song Dynasty, and Tan Yunxian in the Ming Dynasty. Tan Yunxian later wrote the book "Miscellaneous Notes on Female Doctors", which reflected her high medical level.
In fact, it was not only difficult for women to practice medicine, but also difficult to see a doctor. For example, in the Neo-Confucian environment of the Ming Dynasty, if a woman had a gynecological disease, how would she see a doctor?
It would be different if there were several female doctors, and doing this kind of thing would benefit himself in the end, because Zhu Houzhao would also have concubines or princesses who got sick in the future.
Daughters of noble ministers' families also have this need.
If you open a women's medical clinic specifically, you might be able to make a lot of money...
However, these were just his wild thoughts. Zhu Houzhao finally wrote these three words to Zhang Tianrui and told him: "I remember someone said that Tan Gang, the prefect of Laizhou, was originally from a medical family, and he only became an official after passing the Jinshi examination. As an official, he has a daughter who has been studying medicine since she was a child, and is already known as a famous doctor. You go and invite this person to the academy, open a separate women's medical school, and let this little girl study with her, and at the same time, she is separated from the men. This doesn't violate etiquette, and it also saves Dr. Hu from bothering you. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Zhang Tianrui opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but then he swallowed it back.
In fact, he did not expect that this problem could be solved so easily by His Highness.
Although it seems strange, it seems possible if you think about it carefully.
As long as men and women are separated inside the academy, there won't be any criticism.
"Your Highness is wise, so I know what to do. I, please retire."
There were so many important things in the Ming Dynasty, and the only one who could come to the palace to ask for his opinion on such matters was Zhang Tianrui.
"Just wait a moment."
Zhu Houzhao waved to him to come closer.
He won't write this word anymore. It doesn't matter if his close ministers see his handwriting. They all know that he is practicing anyway, but this time it is to be released for the world to see.
"Take a pen and write."
Zhang Tianrui was dumbfounded. He came over when he was told to come over. He stared at a blank declaration when he was given it, as if he didn't realize at all that he was being asked to write.
Zhu Houzhao sometimes found it interesting, because the whole dynasty was full of shrewd people, and it was not easy to suddenly have Zhang Tianrui.
"Your Highness, what do you want me to write?"
"Write a few questions. After you return, you will set up another academy and name it Gwu. You are also a well-read poet, so you should know the principles of Gwu, right?"
"I understand, that is to study the laws of things."
Roughly the same.
"Write." Zhu Houzhao pointed to the paper placed on the bookcase, "Why does the tachyon appear to be broken when it is inserted into a cup with water?"….
Zhang Tianrui instinctively wanted to obey the order, but as soon as he lowered his head, he felt something was wrong, "Your Highness, what is this problem?"
"No nonsense. Write."
For such a person who was not alert enough, Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to say anything more. He just gave the order and after seeing him finish writing, he continued: "Why does water freeze and snow melt?"
Zhang Tianrui: "..."
"Why does everything fall down automatically instead of flying up?"
"Why do you always see the lightning first and then hear the thunder when it thunders?"
Zhang Tianrui couldn't bear it anymore, "Your Highness...why is this?"
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyelids and stared at him. Keep an eye on him
Smile, lower your head and continue writing honestly.
"Why are the days long and nights short in summer, and the days short and nights long in winter?"
"Why……"
…
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Houzhao told him, "Take these questions back, choose one and post it on the wall outside the academy, and offer a reward of a hundred taels to anyone who can answer it."
"Yes. But Your Highness... I don't know why. If someone answers, how do you know whether he is correct or incorrect?"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhu Houzhao continued, "Collect all the questions first, and announce the answer to a question in public every other month. The one who answers correctly will get money. Isn't that enough? "
"So, His Highness knows the answer."
"You don't have to worry about this. I will give you an answer when the time comes."
Zhang Tianrui thought about it and asked again: "Then what if a year and a half goes by and all these questions are used up?"
"If all questions could have answers. Then Ming Dynasty..."
The second half of the sentence cannot be said to Zhang Tianrui.
Then Ming Dynasty won't need him.
"Anyway, you go back and do it first. After three months, if anyone can answer all three questions correctly, then..."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, if this is the case, it means that this kind of person has scientific thinking. Can't let it go easily.
"Then I will summon him."
Zhang Tianrui frowned, "Your Highness, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this matter. If that person is some kind of unclean person, do you want to see him too?"
"There's no need to worry." Zhu Houzhao was not so optimistic. "It's very rare to be able to answer even one of these questions, let alone three. In short, you should do it right away."
"yes!"
Zhu Houzhao could cultivate new types of officials and control public opinion, but without the advancement of knowledge, their group would at best be able to reach the pinnacle of ancient literati governance.
So this move had to be made.
On the contrary, the capital suddenly became lively because of this.
Putting aside the bounties, the questions themselves are also interesting.
The life of the ancients was not very interesting. Now that there is a lot of excitement in the capital, naturally people are competing to spread the word.
The two brothers Wang Bing and Wang Lian walked around the academy and even handed in a message saying that they were going to listen to Wang Hao's lecture later. Until I saw this question today, I suddenly found it interesting.
A hundred taels of gold is attractive to them, but it's not bad. Young and frivolous people mainly care about the opportunity to be in the limelight. If you can really be received by the prince, it will naturally be a great honor. ….
But these questions are really weird. They are normal things in daily life, but now they are suddenly asked to find a reason...
So the two brothers copied down all the questions and took them home. They knocked on their sister Wang Zhi's door and told them about the interesting things outside.
Wang Zhi was surprised, "What kind of questions did His Highness ask?"
"That's it." Wang Bing showed the piece of paper in front of her eyes.
Wang Zhi's beautiful eyes flashed a surprised look at just one glance, "Why does the tachyon appear to be broken when the tachyon is inserted into a cup with water? Is this... what kind of problem is it?"
"Yes, that's what we thought when we first saw this question. We also asked some people on the way, but it seemed... we couldn't quite figure out what His Highness was thinking."
"Can anyone answer that?"
"Of course someone has answered the answer, but it may not be correct." Wang Bing said: "For news about the academy, the answer will be given a month later, and then a new question will be asked, and so on. As long as there is a correct answer, there will be a reward of one hundred taels. If you get three correct answers in a row, you will be summoned by the East Palace!"
"Brothers, please give Zhi'er some time and allow me, sister, to think about it."
Wang Zhi stood up and began to think about this problem carefully. Life is boring, but this thing is quite interesting.
"By the way, I heard a few days ago that the academy is recruiting women to study medicine."
"Women study medicine?" This was really beyond Wang Zhi's expectation.
Our Crown Prince is really unpredictable...
