Chapter Eighty-Six: Strong Arguments
"The first assessment is set by Dean Sun Simiao Sun and the Emperor Taishang personally, if you don't want to refer to it, you can leave on your own." The middle-aged lecturer said coldly.
Although he also felt unacceptable to this ridiculous decision in his heart, accepting it himself and letting others accept it were completely different things.
He even wanted to see the embarrassment of the scholars and ...... How the hell do you gel a pig?
There were about 300 scholars in the Calamus Palace, and when they heard the words of the middle-aged lecturer, some of them looked ashamed and threw their sleeves away, while some did not dare to say anything, and lowered their heads and almost approached the table, while more scholars were on the sidelines......
Most of them are children of poor families, and their families have surplus money to study, but they are only limited to the extent of memorizing the scriptures, if they go to the imperial examination, there is no difficulty in posting scriptures and Moyi, but if they are admitted to compose poems, it is really a search for the five internal organs, at most they can find "a line of egrets on the blue sky" or "frogs everywhere in the grass pond", and there will be no more......
And a few months ago, the Di newspaper sent from Chang'an to various places said that there was a hope that they would be promoted to become rich and that the social class would take a step forward, that is, to be admitted to the Royal Academy of Medicine!
First of all, the treatment of lecturers at the Royal College of Medicine is the same as that of Dr. Guo Zijian, but the conditions are simpler, requiring more than 10 years of experience in practicing medicine.
Although it is a bit harsh, but Datang is picky and selective, and there are still a few crooked melons and cracked dates that can come.
Secondly, let's talk about the requirements for the assessment of students, under the weak crown (20 years old), over 8 years old, familiar with the scriptures. This is something that almost all scholars can satisfy, as for ...... Age, do you still need to look at this kind of thing?
Find a relationship, dredge up the scribe of the county government, and change it for you immediately.
What the? Your age is eight years old, why do you have a big beard?
A scholar in his thirties could proudly hold his head high and say, "A certain good-looking old student, what's the matter, can't it?" ”
Of course, this is just an exaggeration, in fact, after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the household registration in various places has serious gaps, mistakes in memory, and things that are often misremembered, and they can be barely controlled in the core area of the Tang Dynasty, but if they go elsewhere, such as Lingnan, it is really blind.
Therefore, if the age of the person lies about it, as long as it is within reasonable limits, the officials who inspect it will not be blamed.
Therefore, the scholars who came to refer to it from all over the Tang Dynasty this time are like carp crossing the river, there are nearly 1,000 of them, and Calamus Palace is just one of the test points.
But now, because of this ridiculous assessment, is it just an empty joy for them to come to Chang'an from their hometown?
The people's grievances are boiling!
Because the selection of scholars was more messy, there were immediately hot-tempered scholars who scolded: "The assessment is not stated in the newspaper, this is to deceive us, do you want to ask for an explanation?" ”
"Exactly! Yes, extremely! The first assessment of medical school is so unacceptable, if it is the examination of medical books and treatment, we can still understand it, but what is a castration? We are not geldings, but dignified scholars! Another soldier stood up and said excitedly.
Scholars seem to be a very ordinary class, although they are not as exaggerated as the power of the Ming Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty, the right to speak was in the hands of the world's readers. It is equivalent to college students in the eighties and nineties, even if the poor can only work on the floor, but they are still generally respected by the society.
At this time, the scholars were a rarer and more precious breed than the college students in the eighties and nineties.
The literacy rate in ancient times was too low and too low, especially in the Sui and Tang dynasties, where the gate valve monopolized knowledge, it was rare for nearly a thousand scholars to come for reference, and it was estimated that this had accounted for a lot of the proportion of scholars from the northern poor.
When Li Shimin opened the imperial examination, he said very arrogantly: "The heroes of the world are among them!" ”
At that time, there were only a few dozen scholars admitted......
"Silence! Quiet! The middle-aged lecturer frowned, feeling that the situation was not good at this time, although there were only two or three early birds among the more than 300 scholars, but looking at the situation of other scholars, if they delayed it any longer, if they didn't give an explanation, they would probably be turned upside down by the passionate scholars.
Scholars making trouble are not uncommon in various dynasties. In the open Sui and Tang dynasties, it was common for the people to admonish the emperor.
For example, Tang Xuanzong ate in Luoyang, and stayed in Luoyang for a long time, and the people of Chang'an were a little unhappy.
The people of Chang'an, who were excited, strongly demanded that Xuanzong return to Chang'an, and if he didn't come back, he would make trouble......
And it didn't happen once or twice......
In short, before the Song Dynasty, the various dynasties in China were still very enlightened for most of the time, as long as the scholars had a reason, they dared to make trouble, and the emperor could not govern!
......
In another side hall of Qujiang Pond.
"Your Majesty, why don't you discuss this matter with Lao Dao!" Sun Simiao's face was sad, and he kept walking around, and the dust in his hand was also swaying back and forth from time to time because of his anxious mood.
He saw that his dream of "preaching the world" for many years was finally coming true, and every scholar who stepped into the Calamus Palace could be his future disciple, and his Sun Simiao would definitely be a milestone in medicine at that time!
But now, with the departure of one scholar after another, his heart has gradually become cold, and his dream is becoming more and more unattainable.
"How important is the first assessment, how can it be nonsense, even if it is to delete the number of people and come up with some difficult test questions, why bother the scholars to talk about it, there are already dozens of people who can't stand this kind of insult and leave angrily."
"Gelding...... What's so hard to accept? Li Yuan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be playing a little big, but he still argued strongly: "Daochang Sun, I didn't necessarily say that the castration pig is good in order to be considered successful in the assessment, and besides, what's the shame of the castration?" Sun Daochang, haven't you ever written a medical book on gynecology?
The treatment of gynecology has always been ridiculed by the world, but Sun Daochang still wrote the "Women's Sutra" despite the criticism of the world to solve the hidden diseases of women! This is a name for a thousand years!
However, if the disciples under your name are ashamed of the eyes of the world, even if they have a thousand golden prescriptions, but no one cares about them, wouldn't it be based on the increase and sigh?
If these scholars can let go of their preconceived notions, even if the eunuch fails...... But there are successors to Sun Daochang...... Then a gynecological doctor can be worth a hundred mediocre men! ”
Gynecologist has always been a very embarrassing profession, even in the later generations of emancipation, when I hear that a boy has become a gynecologist, I first feel envious and jealous, and then I feel a little weird.
This is the case in later generations, not to mention that in the era when almost all men were men in ancient times, the treatment of gynecology has always been shameful by the world. Defenders never care about the pain of women's hidden diseases, but will criticize the treatment of Lang Zhong as a womanizer, and even condemn adultery in serious cases!
Later, when Sun Simiao saw the eldest grandson, he diagnosed the pulse through the curtain.
"Really?" Sun Simiao was a little flustered by what Li Yuan said, although he knew that he was very powerful, and he could be lightly taken by other emperors in the history books, but he didn't expect that it could be passed down through the ages.
However, Sun Simiao was a sincere person, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty has praised it, according to what Your Majesty said, if there is really a scholar who can study gynecology, the old way will not live up to what he has learned in his life." ”
PS: The author's statement does not mean to insult women in the slightest, but here is just an analogy, based on the ideas of people at the time, Lang Zhong may prefer to be a caster rather than choose to treat women's hidden diseases...... In addition, I really envy the gynecologist~
