Zhao Xu was in the Chongzheng Palace.

After finishing the afternoon's homework, Zhao Xu came over and waited to meet the Emperor Taishang with his mother.

The front hall of the Chongzheng Hall is a place to discuss national affairs with important ministers, basically Zaifu in the morning, the imperial history, martial arts, and court officials who return to Beijing in the afternoon, and the apse is used to review the chapters, and Zhao Xu is waiting in the apse.

Although classes are not held in the summer, daily practice and reading are uninterrupted. This aspect of learning does not need the teachings of Confucianism such as Wang Anshi, Han Gang, and Cheng Hao, and can be completed directly in the palace.

In the morning, I wrote 100 big characters, memorized three Analects, and in the afternoon, there were 20 simple calculation problems with four arithmetic from Han Gang's side. It's not much, but it's still a lot of work for a six-year-old.

Without doing homework, and without a foreign minister by his side, Zhao Xu seemed a little more relaxed. At least at this time, he will not be reminded to maintain his demeanor. You can also walk around the temple, unlike in the court meeting, where you have to sit for an hour. But it's just a little bit of relaxation, sitting and walking, and it's still a kind of training uprightness.

Walking to the plain screen next to the imperial table, the little emperor looked up at the court.

The same screen has one side in the Funing Palace, but no one writes on it anymore. Kunning Palace also has it, and the names of the people on it will be increased by one or two every few days or ten days. However, the number of names on that screen is not as good as here.

When the Empress began to listen to the government, the name on the screen in the Chongzheng Hall was raised. By now, most of it has been written. If you count them, there are as many as thirty or fifty.

Zhao Xu read it from beginning to end, and none of them were names he was familiar with.

"Official?" Feng Shining followed behind Zhao Xu, and when he saw him standing still in front of the screen, he bent down and asked.

"I don't know." Zhao Xu whispered.

Feng Shining suddenly said: "Oh, official, it's like this. These people are still petty officials, but because they have done a good job, they have been favored by the Empress Taishang, and they are ready to be promoted when they have the opportunity. When the official family is in power, they will become the ministers of the court and assist the official family in governing the country. ”

Zhao Xu listened quietly, then nodded.

He also knows the way, and it is true that the names of the Zaifu will not be written on it. Some important ministers in the court don't need to use a pen to remember, they can remember it themselves.

For example, today in the palace, I thought of Lu Xuanhui, who almost cried when I thought of my father.

In Zhao Xu's memory, except for him, the other ministers were very happy about his father's abdication.

He has made such a great contribution, he should be able to return to Beijing.

It's a pity that even if he is the emperor, he can't decide where even the smallest official can serve now.

"Official!" Feng Shining's voice suddenly sounded a little nervous, "The front is over." ”

Zhao Xu also heard the movement in front of him, turned around, and went forward to greet Empress Taishang.

Leaving the front hall of the Chongzheng Hall from the small door at the back of the side, the day's discussion with the courtiers was finally over, but when I remembered that there were more concerts to see after I went back, the steps of the queen became heavy.

There is never an end in sight to dealing with this militaristic matter every day.

The courtiers still have a time to rest, but the Son of Heaven and the curtain queen like her are not idle for a day. Even if you don't go to court, there are countless pieces to watch. If something big happens, the Zaifu can take shifts, but who can she find to take her shift?

can only endure hardship, and when the official family can be in power, it will be considered a relief.

Zhao Xu was waiting in front.

Every day, never delayed.

The small body is thin and thin, and in front of the apse, he salutes the queen Taishang.

"Hurry up." Xiang Empress hurriedly said. stretched out his hand and led Zhao Xu into the apse.

Sitting down in the hall, the palace maid offered a nourishing drink, took two sips from the queen, and asked Zhao Xu: "Official, how long have you been waiting?" ”

Zhao Xu stood up: "It's been half an hour." ”

"Don't stand up, sit and talk."

Empress Xiang wanted Zhao Xu to sit down, but Zhao Xu still insisted on etiquette, "Mr. Cheng said that a gentleman is only cautious. Sprinkle and sweep to deal with it, and don't slack off. ”

When Cheng Hao taught Zhao Xu, he said very simply, and did not instill Cheng Men's essence of Shendu to Zhao Xu in depth, but only said how to act, which made Zhao Xu more and more like an old pedant.

How many times, it's like this.

Looking at Zhao Xu's little face without much blood, Queen Xiang couldn't help sighing in her heart,

Zhao Xu has always been a very smart, quiet child, and assertive. The thoughts of the heart are rarely said to the outside. At a young age, he already had some city government. With such a temperament, it is very suitable to be an emperor. But from another point of view, it is too heavy in twilight, and there is no feeling of a child.

Many children with early wisdom do not live forever. Those courtiers who were recommended as prodigies in the early years are also considered to be long-lived by Yan Shu who lived to more than sixty. Maybe it's tired, children doing adult things, of course, will hurt their vitality.

A calf cannot pull a plow, nor can a colt ride a man. Even if a courtier has an official status, he must not come out to work until he is twenty years old. There are only a few exceptions, but which of those exceptions came out to work as an errand at the age of six? The twelve-year-old Ganluo was already the earliest. When he was a hundred officials, only Han Gang started working as an errand at the age of eighteen.

This made Empress Xiang very worried. How did Zhao Xu go down like this? It's still a weak womb. But it is impossible to say that she supports Zhao Xu to jump like a child. Zhao Xu is already the emperor, but he doesn't deal with court politics, but there are still many places in the court that need him to appear. If the courtiers underestimate the emperor, it will be difficult to clean up in the future.

After talking to the queen and Zhao Xu for a while, she suddenly moved, pulled over, twisted the clothes on his body with her hands, and said to Zhao Xu's mother-in-law, Feng Shining and others: "Why are the officials dressed so thinly?" Even though it's hot in the afternoon, you can't just change into these clothes. Gotta add one more. ”

Guo Shi and Feng Shining responded in a panic, and rushed up to help Zhao Xu with the little yellow door holding the clothes, adding a robe.

looked at the queen, and did not forget to reprimand Feng Shining and the others: "You are all people around the official family, you all have to pay attention." Although the official family did not get sick this summer, in previous years, when it came to the spring and autumn seasons, they would be a little uncomfortable. Now that it's autumn, it's cool in the morning and evening, so don't forget to add clothes to the official family. Even if it's hot, it's better than cold. ”

Feng Shining and others are submissive. Xiang Zhilu told the queen that he was actually making too much fuss, but with Zhao Xu's body, how could he be careless? The Emperor Taishang only has such a lone seedling.

You are the Son of Heaven, Zhao Xu's food and clothing are unmatched in the world, and the best famous doctors in the world revolve around him.

But it's all like this, Zhao Xu is still not healthy. In Empress Xiang's heart, she can only hope that the disciple of the Medicine King can really bless the official family to grow up smoothly.

……………………

Han Gang was looking through the recent medical reports from the Department of Health and Welfare and the Imperial Medical Bureau at this time.

Su Song had already left at this time, he usually went to Xuanhui Courtyard in the afternoon for two days out of every three days, but it was not long, he would leave after seeing the progress of the work and discussing it with Han Gang. However, before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Han Gang to send him a copy of the report sent by the Department of Health and Welfare.

Human anatomy made great strides during the Great War. It was all the result of the large number of human corpses and live animals that were able to be dissected by the hospital in Hedong. Even after Han Gang left Hedong, his research on anatomy did not stop.

Just like some time ago, when I studied human bones, I summarized the statistical results with more than 300 human bodies. It was found that different people have different numbers of bones, with a little more bones in children and a little less in adults. If you only look at adults, the size is two hundred yuan, some people will have a little more, and some people will be just right. It's not the legendary three hundred and sixty-five pieces, and it's not said in some weird sect that a man has one less rib than a woman. While counting the number of bones one by one, we have not forgotten to study what role each bone actually plays.

And in today's report, there is a study on the five internal organs. It is no longer the five elements corresponding to the five organs, but from an anatomical point of view, the blood circulatory system, the respiratory system and the digestive system. Although in Han Gang's opinion, there are many loopholes, and there are many elements that are conjecture. But this is not a conclusion reached under Han Gang's guidance after all, except for the earliest inspiration, Han Gang did not describe much. But the doctors came to the right conclusion.

This is the kind of progress that Hangang is looking forward to. Not only in science and technology, but also in thinking and ways of thinking, we have begun to make progress.

Compared to these advances, Lu Huiqing is really nothing.

Hangang hopes that such progress will not be limited to medicine, but will see a change in people's thinking in all fields.

Even a small change is a huge improvement for the previous one. The disciples of Qi Science are changing. If they can all change, even if they can't be a pillar of talent in the future, they will definitely be able to become an official who can do practical things.

Compared with the water hyacinth, which is generally always a lack of ministers, the courtiers who can do things are generally difficult to replace. In particular, highly professional officials in the fields of financial planning, military, and water conservancy have always been very scarce in officialdom.

It will always be troublesome to do things, and the entanglement of interests in all aspects will affect the most difficult results. On the contrary, it is safest to stand at a distance and point fingers. Just like when Sima Guang refused to repair the Yellow River embankment. Most of the officials who were born as jinshi wanted to be able to hold positions where they did not have to do things, but could give instructions at will. The so-called important positions, such as the Tai Zhi and the Third Pavilion Secret Pavilion, are all such positions, and they can also be promoted quickly after taking up this position.

But the state cannot do without officials. This was originally a breakthrough point in qi science. Maybe they can't win in the article, but they can make themselves irreplaceable.
