With a slight smile on his lips, Liu Chengyou returned to the Chongzheng Hall with brisk steps and a bit of the seriousness on his face, which made the servants serving in the hall feel much more relaxed.
"See your majesty!" After hearing that the emperor returned to the palace, Zhao Pu came to see your majesty.
"No courtesy!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand with a gentle look on his face.
In response, Zhao Pu smiled and asked, "What happy event has your Majesty encountered?"
Liu Chengyou also answered directly: "The Queen Mother's condition has recovered, and my concubine has also been found to be pregnant. Is this a happy event?"
"Great joy! This is double happiness!" Zhao Pu also smiled happily and said to Liu Chengyou: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Liu Chengyou was in a really good mood and almost blurted out the words "Same joy".
He just returned from a visit to Ciming Palace. Queen Mother Li recovered from her illness, looked good, and even had a much increased appetite. She personally served Li to eat. When he returned to the palace, he took another trip to Qiuhua Palace. The news came from Concubine Zhe, the concubine, and she was overjoyed again.
From April to May, for Liu Chengyou, there were many happy events, family and national affairs, and everything went smoothly. Jinghu accepted it easily, and the Queen Mother's condition improved. In April, Concubine Zhou Shu, who had been in the palace for many years, was found to be pregnant. Now in May, Concubine Xian is pregnant again.
Not counting the two newly pregnant women, Liu Chengyou already has six sons and three daughters, which can be said to be a full baby. He even felt like he was almost a seed-seeding machine, one with a very high hit rate.
In fact, counting premature deaths and miscarriages, there are many more. In the past few years, in the palace, Liu Chengyou not only had a taste of the four concubines, but also the beauties presented by the maids around the queen, Jingnan, Nantang, and Wuyue. As a result, only the Sun family offered by Li Jing successfully gave birth to a princess for Liu Chengyou, and was promoted to a beauty.
"The people from the Imperial Medical Office must have gone south!" Looking at Zhao Pu, Liu Chengyou asked about business.
Zhao Pu also calmly answered: "There are 2 doctors, 12 medical workers, and 20 doctors, a total of 34 people. They have already set off. I will send you off with the order to convey the holy will!"
He nodded with satisfaction: "Doctors are here to help the world. There are many diseases in Hunan. They went south to help my soldiers and civilians, diagnose diseases, and promote morality for the court! The local government must make good arrangements for these doctors. , cooperate with their work.”
Considering that the medical conditions in Hunan were poor and there were many diseases in the army, Liu Chengyou specially ordered the Imperial Medical Office to select a group of people to go south. Putting aside those high-sounding words, the purpose is to integrate Hunan's medical resources, study pathology, treat diseases, especially do some in-depth exploration of miasma and epidemic diseases in Lingnan, and prepare for the future march of the army southward.
"How many people are there in the Imperial Medical Office now?" Liu Chengyou asked Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu said: "Your Majesty, there are nearly 500 teachers and students in the two departments. Medical science is as prosperous as its predecessors! Five days ago, a monthly examination was held!"
"With 500 people, can we help the whole world?" Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh: "We still need to expand the scale!"
The Han Dynasty inherited the Tang system. Although many systems in today's imperial court have their own characteristics, the influence of the Tang Dynasty can be seen everywhere. Many code systems have been inherited, changed over and over, and were simply restored to the Tang system.
Similar to the medical system, it basically copied the Tang system, but was valued by Liu Chengyou. It recovered quickly and on an unprecedented scale. Kaifeng can be said to have concentrated the best medical resources in the world, but only the royal family, nobles, bureaucrats and the army can enjoy it. Nowadays, basically every army has a military medical team.
Over the years, Liu Chengyou has increased his investment in medical affairs year by year. Every year, famous local doctors are recruited to Beijing. At the same time, the Imperial Medical Office will release a group of people after assessment to serve as local medical officers. To this end, a special upgrade system for medical officers has been set up to improve their quality.
Liu Chengyou wholeheartedly wanted to expand the scale of the Imperial Medical Office and benefit the people, but so far, it is still a little weak. First, the investment is high, second, the training of doctors also takes time, and third, there are only a few people who are willing to do this line of work.
Seeing that Liu Chengyou was lost in thought again, Zhao Pu did not disturb him. When he came to his senses, he said: "Your Majesty has the heart to help the world. This is a blessing for the people of the world. However, everything must be done according to one's ability. Imperial Medical Office It is rare to have such a grand occasion. The world is not at peace, and the imperial court's expenditures are very large..."
"You don't need to say anything!" Liu Chengyou muttered: "I understand what you mean!"
Zhao Pu's meaning is very obvious, everything needs financial support. Despite the fact that the finances of the Han Dynasty are improving year by year, the stalls are too big and the business is not profitable. Liu Chengyou is also a promising leader with many ideas. Every time he has an idea, he has to invest financial, material and human resources. The investment in medical care has always been huge. From medical administration to medicine, everything involved is free of money.
After thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou sighed with a majestic expression on his face: "Doctors treat diseases and kings govern countries. This is the same principle. To make the world peaceful, I not only need to let the people have a place to live and cultivate land, but also need to Every disease has its own cure!”
Hearing this, Zhao Pu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and solemnly responded: "Your Majesty is so kind that he takes over the world!"
Waving his hand, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his lips. Although he said this, he himself had no confidence. It was extremely difficult to achieve this. All he could really do was to try his best to improve the big man's medical conditions.
"What do you think, how about adding a medical subject to the future scientific examinations?" Liu Chengyou asked, looking at Zhao Pu.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he noticed the emperor's excited expression. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Pu still said: "Maybe you can give it a try, I'm afraid it will cause criticism from above and below!"
"What is there to criticize?" Liu Chengyou said immediately: "Among the ministers of the imperial court, who is sick and does not need to seek medical treatment?"
"In this case, you will send a message to the Political Affairs Hall, the Ministry of Etiquette and the Imperial Medical Office later to discuss this matter!" Liu Chengyou ordered directly.
"yes!"
Even if you become more involved in medicine, it probably won't have the effect of mass applications, but one thing is still guaranteed, that is the improvement of the status of doctors.
After talking about the matter, Liu Chengyou noticed the memorial in Zhao Pu's hand and asked, "What is the memorial?"
After hearing the inquiry, Zhao Pu presented the memorial and explained the two urgent tasks of Huaidong.
"Is Zheng Renjie seriously ill?" Liu Chengyou frowned slightly.
Although Zheng Renjie has a strong "Guo" imprint on him, Liu Chengyou has never denied his talents. Whether he was the deputy privy envoy at the time or the current inspector of Huaidong, he can be called a good minister and good official. At the beginning of the year when the big case in Huaidong happened, I heard that Zheng Renjie was not feeling well, but now that a few months have passed, it has gotten worse.
"Since Huaidong reported it to the court, it means that Duke Zheng's condition is indeed serious, even worse than imagined!" Zhao Pu said.
"The envoy is ill and is in charge of the affairs, but I am a bit unsympathetic!" Liu Chengyou said: "He should be released early to return to his hometown to recuperate!"
"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much!" Zhao Pu comforted.
"The old minister is gradually withering away!" Liu Chengyou sighed, and his emotion was deeper than before.
Since this year, almost all the civil and military officials in the imperial court have contracted diseases and become seriously ill, ranging from Ruan, Zhao Hui, Liu Ci, He Ning, to Zheng Renjie. Without exception, Yin Jingfan of Kaifeng Prefecture seems to be in poor health. I'm also unhappy.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengyou's mood didn't seem so wonderful.
But no matter how heavy the mood was, the problems before him still had to be solved. Zhao Pu asked: "I don't know what Mr. Li has proposed. How can I approve it?"
"Under the system, Zheng Renjie dedicated himself to his official position and gave it to Taigu County Duke!" Liu Chengyou said: "As for the post of Chasi in Huaidong, let's move him to Xu Taifu at the request of Li Tao! Speaking of which, Xu Taifu I have been loyal to the royal family for some years!"
"yes!"
While obeying the order, Zhao Pu could not help but feel strange in his heart. It seemed a little inappropriate to grant Zheng Renjiao a title, as the title was too heavy. However, after thinking about it, Zhao Pu finally understood that Zheng Renjie's son had died and was extinct. In this way, when he died, the court could directly take back his title.
"As for the Guishan Canal, I believe Wang Pu. Since he took the initiative to petition, he must have considered it carefully and approved it!"
