90 Letters and court arguments

The next day, Yuan Chun handed a copy of the book to the Department of General Administration, and publicly wrote to His Majesty the Emperor, asking the Emperor to publish the "Nine Volumes of Upper Medicine" as soon as possible, and establish a medical qualification certificate system and establish a medical Taoist school to benefit the world!

This is the first time that Yuan Chun has been officially listed since he got the official position of "Yipin Shang Doctor"! She is also the first woman to hand the book to the Department of General Administration and publicly write to His Majesty the Emperor since the Dingding of this dynasty!

But no one in the officials of the General Administration Department can say that Yuan Chun did something wrong! Because when the emperor conferred the official position of "Yipin Shang Doctor", he once said that "Yi Pin Shang Doctor" is the same as the first rank of the imperial court, although she is a woman, she also has the qualifications to be a scholar!

The official in charge of receiving the transcript hurriedly read it, wrote down the notes and abridgements, registered it, and then handed it to his superior. After the boss read it, he handed the recital directly into the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, the officials of the General Administration Department quietly discussed with others. Yuan Chun publicly wrote a letter and asked the emperor to publish the "Nine Volumes of Shangyi" as soon as possible.

When the emperor saw Yuan Chun's transcript, he couldn't help but think: It seems that at least half of what Jia Yingzhou said to the queen was true. The fortune of the two of them's heirs is indeed closely related to the publication of this set of medical books. Otherwise, Jia Yingzhou would not have acted so violently - that set of medical books has not been published for ten years, and she has not spoken for ten years, but now she is directly and publicly published with such a huge momentum, obviously this matter cannot be delayed any longer. If she doesn't agree this time, will she go to the book a second time, three times?!

Although Emperor Longzheng was curious about the answer to this question, he did not want to seek itβ€”because he did not want to make it too big and conspicuous.

After thinking for a moment, he instructed Shi Zhong: "Summons King Zhaohui, Yipin Shangyi, cabinet ministers, and officials headed by the Tai Hospital to Linjing Hall to discuss this matter." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Coming to Linjing Hall again, Yuan Chun's mood was a little apprehensive and a little nervous. Promoting the publication of the "Nine Volumes of Shangyi" and establishing a medical qualification certificate system and a medical Taoist school are goals that must be achieved, and she must work hard to complete them today.

The main participants in the deliberations were Emperor Longzheng, Yuan Chun and the ministers of the cabinet, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and two court judges. King Zhaohui mainly observed.

"For what Jia Shangyi said in this recital." Emperor Longzheng carried the notebook, "What do you think?" ”

The scholar of the Tianshi Temple said: "Your Majesty, the publication of the "Nine Volumes of the Upper Medicine" is conducive to the improvement of the medical skills of the doctors, and the second is to increase the prestige of the imperial court and make the guests from all over the world obey. The minister agreed. ”

The students of Wenhuadian objected: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is inappropriate. The minister heard that Jia Shangyi's set of medical books recorded many strange poisons that were unknown to his predecessors, and if someone with ill intentions read these medical books, wouldn't he give them a sharp blade and let them do whatever they wanted? The minister also heard that there was also a very dangerous treatment in that set of medical books, which could open the intestines and dissect the stomach. If there is such a quack doctor, who is half-connected, and mistakenly dissects the intestines of a good man, and then dissects them to death, is it no different from murder...... Chen believes that this book can be left in the Tai Hospital, and it can be studied by the Tai Hospital......

In short, the ministers of the Cabinet are for and against; There are few in favor and many against.

The reasons for the endorsement are generally the same as those stated by the Tenchi Temple Scholars.

The reasons for opposition on the surface are mainly concentrated in several aspects: first, I am afraid that this set of medical books will teach those with ill intentions to be wise; second, I am afraid that quacks who are half-versatile will go to surgery, which will make the disaster worse; Third, if it is published publicly, such a precious medical book will inevitably flow into Fanbang and other countries, how can they be cheapened for nothing? ! Fourth, I heard that the medical book also talks about men and women giving birth to pregnancy very bluntly? This is too bad for customs and is not conducive to education!

The reason for the opposition of the dark side is mainly the position of these ministers in the prince's succession.

Yuan Chun also secretly guessed: Some opposing ministers may still have disdain and dissatisfaction with her in their hearts.

The three officials of the Tai Hospital were too low-grade, and they did not intervene easily unless they were asked.

As the person who put on the book, Yuan Chun regarded this court meeting as a thesis defense, and answered the questions of opponents one by one.

Yuan Chun felt very ridiculous about the fear that the medical book would teach people with ill intentions to be wise, and retorted: "In today's world, the emperor has a good way of governing and educating, and it is the time of prosperity and prosperity. In the whole world, there are naturally many people who know etiquette and abide by the law! Even if there are one or two ill-intentioned criminals, they have their own government to handle the case, and the national law will bring them to justice. If the government can't find out the traitor, it should also ask the government for its responsibility, why should it be because of the government's incompetence and choking on food, hindering the people from studying medicine? Kitchen knives can also be used to kill! Don't you use kitchen knives in the kitchen of an adult's house? Fire can also burn down the house and burn people to death, so can't adults eat raw food and drink raw water every day? ”

As soon as she said this, except for the people who were refuted, everyone else couldn't help but smile.

She also said: "It is precisely because quacks are harmful to people that we should improve the overall medical level of the world, so that there are more good doctors in the world, fewer quacks, and fewer people who are harmed by quacks, so that everyone can live a few more years...... Isn't this a thing that helps the world and saves people, and the merit is immeasurable? Of course, quacks do need to be vigilant when they kill people. Therefore, I suggested in the recital that the emperor should establish a medical qualification certificate system. If you want to enter the court as an official, you need to pass the layers of imperial examinations, and take the examination of talents, people, and scholars. Doctors practice healing, and human life is at stake, shouldn't they also take the test? Only after passing the government's assessment and obtaining the qualification to practice medicine can you prescribe a prescription for diagnosis with others; Only after passing the surgical qualification examination can you perform surgery on people, and the method of opening the intestine and dissecting the stomach can be performed. That's the right way to reduce quackery! ”

Hearing this, the three adults in the Tai Hospital exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw the eagerness in the eyes of the other two.

If this medical qualification certificate system is officially implemented, who will preside over it? Of course, it is the most justifiable hospital in the world! At that time, the weight of the Tai Hospital will be heavier, and the grade of the three of them may be able to rise by one liter!

"If you are afraid that the contents of this medical book will be stolen by Fanbang Waiyi, when it is published publicly, you can withhold the contents of the surgical part and only publish the other eight volumes. Anyway, it's hard to print a lot of this part of the surgery. The content of the surgical volume can be left in the Tai Hospital, and if Fanbang Waiyi wants it, let them exchange it for their own good books, otherwise they will not give it. If doctors all over the world want to study surgery, they also need to come to Tai Hospital to learn. After completing the study, you can obtain the qualification certificate of surgeon and have the qualification to perform surgery on people......"

Then a minister sneered: "Those foreign countries are not educated, and they may not be able to read words, what good books can they have?" ”

Yuan Chun sneered back unceremoniously: "Adults, do you know what Yelang is arrogant? There are also countless ethnic groups. It is true that some of the foreign people in Fanbang are not educated and do not know how to read. But some foreign states have their own way of being strong...... Hehe! I'm just a woman, and I haven't read many books, but I've heard a saint say: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher! This is true for individuals, and it is as true for nations. Adults are the pillars of the imperial court, and it is good to read those books of Fanbang and foreign countries in their spare time, so as not to sit in the well and watch the sky, and do not know the height of the sky. ”

When she said this, the minister's face was red, and he was speechless for a while.

Yuan Chun ignored him and directly talked about the next question: "As for the issue of men and women giving birth to pregnancy, it is also very straightforward...... The matter of male and female pregnancy is related to the offspring, and it is the most important. Could it be that when it comes to men and women giving birth, all adults think of is just a matter of weathering? This set of medical books clearly states: close relatives marrying is not good for heirs. For this, all of you here are full of poetry and books, and how many of you know about it? People in the world don't know the stakes and harms, and it is common for relatives to be close to each other, how many bitter fruits have been brewed? ”

She bowed slightly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister entered the palace this time and brought a pair of folk mother and daughter. The woman's surname was Yin, and she married her cousin that year and gave birth to a daughter with a sick womb with white hair and red eyes, who was regarded as a demon by her neighbors. This daughter was almost drowned alive because of her strange appearance, and Yin Niangzi suffered a lot of sins in order to protect her......" After she introduced the situation of Yin Niangzi's mother and daughter, she asked the emperor, "Now, this mother and daughter are outside the Linjing Gate." Is the emperor willing to summon him? ”

"Bold! A woman with white hair and red eyes, even if she is not a first-class demon, she is sick. How dare Doctor Jia Shang bring a sick person into the palace? If he gives his illness to the emperor, what crime should the doctor be guilty of?! ”

Yuan Chun looked at him lightly: "The lord is also a pillar of the imperial court, how can he be as knowledgeable as those village husbands and foolish women?" I am a first-class doctor with the imperial seal of the emperor, can I still not know what kind of illness is to be outstanding, and what kind of illness is not disturbing to people? This woman was just born with a little defect, and there is a lack of melanin in her body, which is simply a lack of black dye in her body! There is no such illness as a disease! Don't say it's a look, even if you live in the same room for decades or hundreds of years, you won't be infected by her! ”

Without the danger of being "sick", Emperor Longzheng's curiosity rose, and he also wanted to see what the white-haired and red-eyed woman looked like. Then he said: "Come in!" ”

Then a eunuch went to announce that the mother and daughter had come in.

Yuan Chun negotiated with Yin Niangzi's mother and daughter yesterday on the condition that they agree to enter the palace with him. This can not only increase the weight for themselves to win this battle, but also benefit the Yin mother and daughter.

"Why is it that the marriage of close relatives is not good for the heirs?" While waiting for Yin Niangzi to enter the audience for an audience, a minister asked.

Yuan Chun thought about it, and then asked Emperor Longzheng: "Your Majesty, can you give the minister a small table, a few peanuts and melon seeds, etc.?" ”

Emperor Longzheng waved his hand, and his own little eunuch quickly took out a small table and placed it in the hall; He took out a small plate containing peanuts and melon seeds and put it on the table.

Yuan Chun stood on the side of the small table: "People are divided into men and women, and the inheritance of human blood is realized through something called chromosomes. Chromosomes are a pair, like two strands of chains together...... "helix structure or something" doesn't have to be too clear.

She took out peanuts from the plate and arranged them in four strings and two pairs, and used a sunflower seed and a pumpkin seed as a pair of sex chromosomes, and popularized heredity to the emperor and the ministers. He also used two peanuts with ink marks as diseased chromosomes to explain what is going on with genetic diseases and recessive inheritance.

Those ministers are also top-notch, and Yuan Chun spoke in a simple way, and they easily understood it. Although some people are more stubborn and it is more difficult to accept new things, they cannot refute Yuan Chun and say that Yuan Chun is talking nonsense.

After explaining, Yuan Chun concluded: "These truths are explained in detail in that set of medical books. When the medical book is published, if you have time to read it, you will understand what is going on! ”

While they were talking, Yin Niangzi and Xiaofu entered the palace.

Xiaofu was still wearing a hat, and after saluting, the emperor said, "Take off your hat!" Let me see what you look like! ”

Xiaofu was already trembling with nervousness, and he stayed there at a loss. Yin Niangzi was also so nervous and scared that her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of cheering up her daughter for a while.

Yuan Chun walked up to Xiaofu, deliberately took Xiaofu's hand, and rubbed her hair: "Be good, don't be afraid!" The emperor couldn't be more amiable! Do you want me to pick it for you? ”

Among the people in this hall, Yuan Chun is someone he knows, Xiao Fu subconsciously grabbed the hand that Yuan Chun pulled her, and nodded indiscriminately.

"Then I'll pick it! Don't be afraid, these adults are also very good and won't hurt you! Yuan Chun still held her hand with one hand, and gently picked off Xiaofu's hat with the other.

The hat was taken off, revealing Xiaofu's white hair and snow-white skin. Although her eyes were looking around in a panic, the emperor and those ministers could also see clearly, Xiaofu's eyes did show a faint pink, which was very different from ordinary people.

After looking at it for a while, Emperor Longzheng said lightly: "The fruit is different from ordinary people!" Then he called a maid of the court, and said, "Take them to the queen, and let the queen reward them on my behalf." ”

After the palace maid took the Yin mother and daughter away, Yuan Chun said to Emperor Longzheng: "Your Majesty, I don't know how many children like Xiaofu have been drowned at birth!" is like Xiaofu who survived by luck, but he was also discriminated against, excluded, and bullied all his life, and suffered a lot. They are also the emperor's people, all because of the ignorance of their elders, they fell into such a field, how innocent? The minister also heard that more than ten years ago, there was a Dou family in Chang'an County, who was also a cousin and sister who got married, and the children born to the Dou family after marriage either died young or were stupid. caused wives and concubines to fight, the family was restless, and finally the family was ruined. How innocent is Dou? ”

After Emperor Longzheng and those ministers digested it, Yuan Chun said: "In the article on the pregnancy of men and women, the medical book not only said that close relatives should not get married, but also said how to reduce dystocia, how to deal with dystocia, and how to make it easier for the baby to stand...... These things are related to life. Shouldn't it be made clear? If it is vague, misunderstands the meaning, and harms people's lives, then whose account is it? …… When the emperor was the emperor, he also died a prince and a princess; Have you never had a child die in your family, your relatives and friends? Why don't you understand how important the publication of this medical book is? ”

Her last words directly hit the heartstrings of Emperor Longzheng, and also hit the sadness of several ministers.

Emperor Longzheng couldn't help but think of the difficult days when he was said to be a "wife and a son".

Back then, his wife Hu was pregnant, and he was looking forward to getting a man in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the result was Hu's dystocia, his daughter died at birth, and Hu was also paralyzed on the bed. Later, he died several children one after another, and the rumors of "Ke Wife and Ke Zi" became very popular, which made his life very difficult.

Thinking of the Hu family who had a difficult birth, he thought of the biological mother of the eighteenth prince, Wan Concubine. Wan Concubine's situation at that time was more dangerous than the Hu family at the beginning. But because Concubine Wan met Dr. Jia Shang, she benefited from this set of medical skills, and her mother and son were safe.

Such a very different ending, it is really ...... Time is also fate!

"Then according to what Jia Shangyi said, publish medical books! The part about surgery is taken out and placed in Tai Hospital, and those who want to learn need to go to Tai Hospital to study and be examined. "Emperor Longzheng finally made up his mind.

Yuan Chun couldn't help but rejoice in his heart: the most important part was finally completed.

Next, Yuan Chun discussed with the ministers how to establish a medical qualification certificate system and what happened to the medical Taoist school.

For this issue, Yuan Chun had already discussed it with Shui Xiao.

According to the current actual situation, a two-level medical qualification system can be established.

The primary qualification can be called a doctor, and those who have obtained the qualification of a doctor can prescribe moxibustion and do some things that traditional doctors do.

The senior qualification can be called a doctor, and after obtaining the qualification of a doctor, he will enter the hospital to study; After obtaining a surgical qualification, you become a physician and can engage in all kinds of medical and therapeutic activities.

The examination venue for the primary qualification can be set up in the state capital, so that it will be more convenient for the candidates. The textbook for the exam, of course, is the set of "Nine Volumes of Shangyi" that will be published - no, the surgical volume has been extracted, and it is "Eight Volumes of Shangyi".

After all, the medical examination is a very professional matter, and it must not be allowed to take the examination by those civil officials who do not understand medicine, so the examiner can only be sent by the Tai Hospital. It can be like the imperial examination, once every three years, the Tai Hospital will send examiners to the state capitals to assess the apprentices, and those who pass will be issued a doctor's qualification certificate.

Of course, there is no need to rush to implement this system, and it can be done slowly over a generation. In this way, in the process of implementation, we can slowly find some problems, solve some problems, and achieve the goal of smooth transition.

Tai Hospital has increased the responsibility of assessing the world's doctors and training surgeons, and can establish a medical school.

At the same time, the medical academy is attached to the medical hall for the private sector, so that students can study and practice at the same time. This can not only improve the clinical experience of the trainees, but also avoid teaching some paper words; It can also solve some of the sufferings of the people. This is also a complete copy of the modern medical school system! Yuan Chun feels that this model of training doctors is very worthy of reference.

In the development of surgery, there is an unavoidable problem: human anatomy! A doctor who has not dissected a body dares to use a scalpel to dissect a living person? In view of the importance that people in this era attach to the problem of "whole corpse", this problem is not easy to solve.

There are currently two planned options: one is to forcibly recruit the remains of prisoners on death row; The second is to sign a contract with the poor and sick before his death, and purchase his body for autopsy. It is impossible to tell which of these two methods is better.

As for some of the more detailed systems, there is no need to discuss them in the court.

Emperor Longzheng looked at Shui Xiao next to him, who had been silent, and asked Shui Xiao with no clear meaning: "Jia Shangyi's notebook, how does it look like your handwriting?" You wrote it for her? ”

Shui Xiao bowed slightly: "Jia Shangyi can't write a notebook, so she dictated it, and Erchen wrote and polished it." It's basically what Jia Shangyi meant. ”

Emperor Longzheng asked with a smile: "Have you been bored lately?" I actually did the ghostwriting and knife catch! ”

"It's a little boring!" Shui Xiao generously admitted, "So Erchen discussed with Doctor Jia Shang, and planned to open a medical clinic in the palace, so as to relieve some suffering." Please allow your father's permission! ”

"Open a medical center?" Emperor Longzheng pondered in his heart: Is this also accumulating merit? Then he said: "If you like to open it, I don't bother to care about you!" ”

After withdrawing from the Linjing Palace, Shui Xiao and Yuan Chun went to the queen's Yihe Palace together, one to greet the queen, and the other to take Yin Niangzi's mother and daughter out of the palace.

Xiaofu is being taken by the palace maid to eat snacks, and Yin Niangzi is talking happily with Queen Shen.

Empress Shen is an easy-going person, and Mrs. Yin was too nervous at first, but when she saw that Empress Shen's attitude was always gentle, she also relaxed. Talk to Queen Shen about her hometown, interesting stories about mountain dwellings, and parents. Empress Shen heard it with relish.

I heard the palace maid report: King Zhaohui and the princess are here!

Empress Shen smiled and said, "It's finally over!" Call them in! ”

When Yuan Chun and Shui Xiao came in and saluted, she asked, "What is the result?" "Asked a little eagerly.

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "My father has agreed to publish a medical book, and he has also agreed to establish a medical qualification system and a medical Taoist school!" ”

The smile on Empress Shen's face became even more obvious.

Yuan Chun said: "While I am happy today, my sons have something to ask for their mother." Yan Wan, the palace maid beside Erchen, has already fallen in love with a good family business. The sons dared to invite their mother, and in addition to Yan Wan's palace residence, she was allowed to marry herself. ”

Empress Shen smiled and said, "I don't sound right about this!" Why did Yan Wan fall in love with a good family affair? Didn't you fall in love with a good family affair for her? ”

In this era, it is not popular for the daughter's family to be in love with anyone. Even if it is true that the woman is in love, you have to ask a qualified person to "call the shots"?

Yuan Chun said: "The queen mother knows me!" I'm most afraid of being the master of this! As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet, if I make the decision recklessly, they will not be happy after marriage, won't they complain about me in their hearts in vain?! I'm too lazy to memorize this cause and effect! If they fall in love with each other, it doesn't matter to me whether they are good or bad in the future, wouldn't it be clean?! ”

Empress Shen was originally just joking, but after hearing her words, she thought about it. Yin Niangzi next to her couldn't help but listen.

"Whatever you want!" Empress Shen waved her hand, "I don't bother to care about the affairs of your mansion!" He turned his head to Liu Yuxiang and said, "You go to the Shanggong Bureau and say that in addition to Yan Wan's palace registration, she is allowed to leave the palace and marry herself." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

"What about the other palace maids around you? Didn't they have any kind of kinship? Empress Shen was a little tentative, "It's not good to favor one over the other!" Aren't you afraid that they will complain? ”

Yuan Chun said: "I asked them. Except for Yan Wan, they all said that they didn't want to marry. If you don't want to marry, you won't marry, and your sons don't bother to care about them! ”

After gossiping for a while, Yuan Chun took Yin Niangzi's mother and daughter to say goodbye.

Queen Shen asked the palace maid to fill Xiaofu with more snacks and fruits, and rewarded Yin Niangzi with 200 taels of silver, 20 gold and silver bills, two satins, a set of red gold filigree heads, two pairs of gold and silver hairpins, and a box of yarn palace flowers.

After coming out of the palace and returning to the Zhaohui Palace, Yuan Chun wrote a judgment about Xiaofu's condition according to Yin Niangzi's request, stamped his official seal, and handed it to Yin Niangzi in person.

"What are your plans for the future?" Yuan Chun casually asked Yin Niangzi.

Yin Niangzi took a deep breath: "The woman plans to reconcile with that negative man, and then take her daughter and move to the capital to live." ”
