Chapter 277 Good, Good, Good

Inside the Imperial City.

When it was still in the middle of the day, all civil and military officials discovered one thing. Today, everyone in the medical department... is really well-equipped, and each of them is very high-spirited.

Inevitably let everyone guess.

Is it...

Is this going to be a fuss?

After all, everyone knows about the recent incident of the 'Medical Sage'.

After these days of delay, it is normal for the medical department to make a fuss.However, what's the use of bringing in some ninth-rank officials in green robes embroidered with quail?
Regarding this matter, the left minister Li Shanchang, who was watching by the old god, was more happy to see it. The medical department, and the business department... were all pushed by the young Pingzhang.

Li Shanchang also knows that the medical department has been tossed a lot recently because of the 'medical ancestral hall'. In fact, some of his help is indispensable behind this.

Do not push for nothing.

Now, let's make a fuss, that's fine!
Let the lord take a look at how incompetent these people are, how they can support a top-ranked Chinese medical department, and then... maybe they can have a different opinion on that young Pingzhang.

The Six Books of Zhongshu, the hundreds of years of rules, passed down from the ancestors, where can they be changed as they please?
It was changed in a mess.

Qian Yongren, Minister of Rites, was a little worried.

just feel...

Are you going too far?
Qian Yongren didn't want any troubles to happen again at this time. Seeing that the world is settled, even Sichuan and Shu have been taken back. Qian Yongren, who is as old as Sun Shouzhen, is already thinking about it. Next, around the same time , I should retire and return home.

As a former Jinshi of the former Yuan Dynasty, Qian Yongren is actually not at ease as an official in this new dynasty, let alone still the Minister of Rites.

Loyal ministers are not two masters.

Former Yuan Jinshi became the Minister of Rites of the new dynasty, which is simply the biggest disrespect. Ever since his predecessor Cui Liang was released and he became the head of the Ministry of Rites, there has been no shortage of strange words, either explicit or covert.

It just so happened that the age had also come, and he voluntarily retired, and His Majesty the Emperor would not force him to stay as a decayed old man.

Hello everyone. Get together.

Even in the history books, thinking about it... Anyway, I have worked hard for these years, and I can keep a fortune, which is not too bad.

just now……

Because of this mentality of seeking stability, Qian Yongren felt a little regretful, did he push a group of imperial doctors from the medical department too hastily?

Can……

Also a student of Confucianism, he sensed that His Majesty the Emperor was about to promote the 'Controversy of a Hundred Schools of Thought' again, so he couldn't allow too much in the end.

You can't let it go, but you can't make trouble either.

It's not good to make a fuss.

So he stepped forward and took the initiative to talk to Sun Shouzhen.

Thinking about persuading, everyone will discuss it in private, is there anything that cannot be properly discussed?
Unexpectedly, Sun Shouzhen, who used to have no confidence in front of him, suddenly became hardened today. Although he didn't simply ignore him, he went around and pretended not to understand and didn't mention the business.

In this way, the sky was getting dark, and the ceremonial officer sang "Nah", everyone entered the Meridian Gate, crossed the Wulong Bridge, and came to Fengtian Gate.

Lao Zhu was already sitting on the throne in the open air.

Tomorrow is the new year, and Lao Zhu rested at Mashi's place last night.When helping her husband get up in the morning, Mrs. Ma also reminded her that it was the end of the year, and it was a pity to take a rest, but Lao Zhu had no intention of resting.

Hundreds of officials lined up and saluted, and the ceremony officials sang again.

Then it's time to play.

If we talk about the biggest event before the New Year's Eve, it must be Chang Yuchun's triumphant return, and by the way, he sent a group of Xia Guojun and ministers back to the capital.

Messages come and go every day, so the time has been fixed, and Chang Yuchun will arrive in the afternoon of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.

At the court meeting recently, after discussions, the etiquette for the reception has been determined. At that time, Prince Zhu Biao will go to Longwan to meet him in person, and he will wait in the palace for his love to come.

Not only from Bashu, but also from Shaanxi.

After the various military towns in Gansu heard that Xia Guo was destroyed, the attitudes of the two sides of the first mouse have obviously changed, and they have more intentions to belong to them.

At present, Tang He is personally presiding over this matter, and Lao Zhu's reply also granted Tang He the right to act cheaply. As long as Gansu can be taken down without bloodshed, more official positions will be awarded. Even if some hidden dangers are left temporarily, it is better than a sword fight Be strong.

After all, Gansu is a remote place, and the cost of fighting is much greater than that of the Central Plains.

Sorting out the recent events, Lao Zhu had good eyesight, and also found that there were a few more people in the morning court today. The most obvious thing was that there were some green-robed officials of the ninth rank who rarely appeared at the back of the queue.

It's also rare.

Lao Zhu knew that for the daily court meeting, all the officials would inevitably complain, and those who were below the sixth rank could not come to the court, they had to show up.

So it became more interesting.

This……

good thing?

or bad thing?

Lao Zhu is not afraid anyway, so many storms have come.

Just thinking about it, before the other officials could speak, Sun Shouzhen, Minister of the Medical Department, had already stepped out first, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my minister Sun Shouzhen announced the good news. Just yesterday, with the joint efforts of all colleagues in the Medical Department, we have lived up to your majesty's expectations. The solid-state penicillin has been successfully produced, and this drug is expected to be preserved for a long time without inactivation, and in the future, there is hope that many internal and external diseases related to bacteria can be cured!"

Sun Shouzhen's words revealed the answer to the mystery.

In the square in front of Fengtian Gate, most of the officials, whether civil or military, showed surprise on their expressions.

Solid-state penicillin may not be so familiar, but when it comes to penicillin therapy, everyone knows it.

In the first half of the year, when a certain young man Pingzhang was still in Mingzhou, there was a miracle that spread throughout the world.

A certain general, some officials still remember the name of the other party, Pu Zhongheng, who was in command of the fourth rank of the Taicang Guard at the time, fought hard against the pirates, was seriously injured, and almost died. Under the circumstances, unexpectedly... alive again.

Afterwards, the news that Penicillium can be used as medicine and that it is miraculous spread quickly, and even His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to it, and ordered the Imperial Hospital to study it in depth.

Also, I have to talk about Pu Zhongheng again, he walked through the gate of hell once, and after that he was promoted steadily.

It's only been a year. First, because of fighting the pirates, he was promoted from the commander of the fourth rank to the deputy commander of the fourth rank. Later, he participated in the battle of transporting grain to the north and the battle of Dadu. After the sixth guard, he was promoted to another level, and now he is the third-rank commander of Dinghai Youwei in the navy, and he is only one step away from the commander.

Everyone knows that no matter in the court or in the army, the higher the official position, the more difficult it is to be promoted. The other party has passed two major thresholds in just one year, and the court has continuously strengthened the general policy of managing the ocean. Think about it, the future is limitless.

Another key to this matter is that no one can ignore Pu Zhongheng. This military general has drawn a thread, and the other end of the thread is a certain young man Pingzhang.

Even, the entire navy, why not?
The navy captain, Hua Gao, heard that his family was pregnant with three at a time, which is also an anecdote.

You know, everyone in the court knows about Huagao's "heart disease" these years, and a certain young man Pingzhang actually helped him cure it. The kindness is even more important. In this case, the naval commander...isn't that the only young man who is always looking forward to it?

Actually it is.

At the beginning, some of the rumors in Mingzhou, both open and secret, were also known.

today……

Besides, what kind of solid penicillin is this? Even if some people can’t understand it, combined with the penicillin miracle drug, the medical department is so serious. Obviously, this thing will only be more effective than the penicillin therapy that everyone has known in private. .

This kind of good thing is made, and it happens to be the New Year's Eve again.

Ah.

It's really... making people envious of the good luck of the medical department.

Different from the ministers who are more or less in the dark, because of the many explanations given by his own baby's 23rd grandson, Lao Zhu understands the importance of penicillin even more.

With this thing, soldiers will not lose their lives due to infections caused by minor injuries.

With this thing, many diseases caused by the bacterial infection, which were even untreatable in the past, can be cured now.

With this thing, the average life expectancy of people in this world can even be increased by several decades.

Lao Zhu also thought of one more thing, the Ming Dynasty had just been founded less than a year ago, although martial arts can subdue all directions, but the people in this world are not so loyal yet.

Daming wants to achieve the goal of returning to the world and creating a prosperous world. On the one hand, it is the rule of culture.But it will take a lot of time, and it may take one or two generations to make achievements, and another shortcut is to do things that are beneficial to the world.

It's not that the officials have never tried it before, offering auspiciousness and so on. This summer, someone sent a two-eared wheat plant. Lao Zhu is actually not rare. , and announced it to the world, to show that the heavens are partial to Daming, so that the wheat will bear double ears.

All hope.

However, the reality is, as long as one is farming all the year round, as long as one is careful, who hasn't seen it?
Now, Lao Zhu believed that this penicillin must have never been seen before.

When the courtier delivered Sun Shouzhen's memorial, Lao Zhu couldn't wait to open it and read it carefully. Sun Shouzhen wrote the article with high spirits, and Lao Zhu read it excitedly. He read it twice, and finally nodded: "Okay, okay, okay... This is really the auspiciousness of Ming Dynasty, Sun Shouzhen, tell me, tell everyone, carefully."

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so happy, Sun Shouzhen became more confident, and said loudly again: "Your Majesty, this matter... the first contribution should be Zhu Yuan, the political affairs of Pingzhang. To make this penicillin, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."

As we all know, His Majesty's favorite now is Zhu Yuan.

Sun Shouzhen is also a shrewd person. The Ministry of Medicine must be credited for this incident. If so, of course we must not forget our origin. After all, what we said is true. Without Zhu Yuan's point yesterday, no one knows how long we will have to struggle .

Therefore, it was actually two people who praised this move.

It can not only make His Majesty the Emperor happy, but also make Lord Pingzhang feel at ease.

Lao Zhu was indeed very happy: "Yuaner, yes, I should have thought of it. Speaking of which, he is weak and unable to go to court on weekdays. You still talk about him, but you don't know that he works hard every day, and the things he does are nothing compared to If you don’t go there, you don’t go there. But hey, Yuan’er is a member of my Zhu family, and I, an elder, will remember his credit. Sun Shouzhen, you still talk about this... solid penicillin, how to extract it, and what’s the matter It has miraculous effects, let everyone listen to it."

hard work...

My own...

I will remember...

Listening to Lao Zhu's evaluation of a certain young Pingzhang, all the officials felt unavoidable ups and downs in their hearts, especially Li Shanchang, who was so mixed, so mixed that he was a little depressed, and a voice came out from the bottom of his heart again.

No more disputes.

No more disputes.

People are their own people, and I am an outsider after all.

How to fight?
If you quarrel too much and annoy the lord, don't you even want to get involved?
Ok.

or just...

Each of his own... Fight for it by yourself.

Old Zhu's affirmation and the officials' admiration had already given Sun Shouzhen a good time, and the old man said, "Your Majesty, after all, I am old and don't speak loudly. How about letting Dai Shilang talk about this specific matter?"

Sun Shouzhen was also aware of this matter.

Like Qian Yongren, Sun Shouzhen has also reached the age of retirement. If not for various events this year, he had some thoughts, Sun Shouzhen might have already asked Lao Zhu to resign.

They are all people who are going to leave, and their own scenery is not lacking, and when it is time to lift up the younger generation, they can't be petty.

Sun Shouzhen proposed, and Lao Zhu certainly had no objection.

Dai Sanchun followed and raised his voice, earnestly starting from discussing knowledge with the boy Pingzhang yesterday, to the concerted efforts of the medical department until all night in the afternoon, and to this morning, confirming that the solid-state penicillin is really effective, step by step. , eloquently.

Old Zhu who has accumulated enough is nodding frequently.

Among the hundred officials, not to mention fully understanding or partially understanding, even if they don't understand, they can roughly feel the various university questions in it.

Moreover, it is inevitable to pay attention to Dai Sanchun himself again.

It is said that Dai Sanchun is currently living in the home of the young Pingzhang, a servant of the third grade, but with someone, he exists like a guest.

However, if someone can quickly upgrade a genuine eighth rank to a genuine third rank within a year, not to mention being a guest minister, but just going to lead a horse and kick him, I'm afraid there will be people who are willing.

After Dai Sanchun finished speaking, Lao Zhu repeated a series of "good" words, thought for a while, and said: "This is a great achievement, and it's the New Year's Eve. Besides the triumphant return of Yuchun, it's also a great joy. It should be done." Rewards, Sun Shouzhen, after the early dynasty, you should make a list today and discuss the merits and rewards. Besides...this auspicious event should be announced to the world, Song Lian..."

Lao Zhu opened his mouth, and Song Lian hurriedly came out: "The minister is here."

"Then the next issue of "Daming Monthly", you will be the writer, and carefully write an article, um... for the medical related, you should ask Sun Shouzhen and Dai Sanchun for advice, and you must explain clearly the benefits of penicillin to the world. Don't repeat yourself, speak plainly, no matter how many pages, it's just more paper."

"My minister obeys."

Among the officials, Dai Sanchun almost wanted to speak when he heard His Majesty's explanation, but he pressed it after thinking about it.

What Dai Sanchun wanted to talk about was the matter of 'allergies', which was also mentioned by Zhu Yuan yesterday, and he wanted to describe it in the "Da Ming Monthly" to teach the world how to use penicillium therapy correctly as a last resort.

However, although Dai Sanchun is meticulous about medicine, he is not a person who does not understand the world.

Now that everyone is so happy, don't be disappointed.

Anyway, in the official article, add this paragraph.

On the other side, Lao Zhu had explained to Song Lian, and he also thought of it: "Also, Sun Shouzhen, how about discussing with the Ministry of Rites about the 'Temple of Medical Sages'?"

When His Majesty the Emperor mentioned this, Qian Yongren, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and several other officials of the Ministry of Rites jumped in their hearts.

In these daily routines, because of this 'medical ancestral hall', they have made things difficult for the Ministry of Medicine.

Now, the Ministry of Medicine took out this 'penicillin' and made a great contribution. His Majesty the Emperor is also very happy. If Sun Shouzhen takes advantage of the situation and tells the Ministry of Rites, everyone will be disappointed.

Seeing Sun Shouzhen come out again, Qian Yongren looked over quietly, with a pleading look in his eyes.

That means...

Old Sun, let's be merciful this time, we can talk about it in private.

It's easy to say!

Sun Shou really wanted to complain about his idleness, but in the end, it was just an idleness, not enough to be angry, so there was no need to make a fuss too stiff, so he just said: "Your Majesty, I waited for the peace yesterday. After discussing in chapters, it was preliminarily agreed that Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Huangfumi, Sun Simiao, Qian Yi, and Song Ci were seven people who were pioneers in our medical family. Among them, Bian Que was the "King of Shenying". At that time, Zhang Zhongjing, according to His Majesty's suggestion, was named "Shen Guogong", and the other five people, ministers, etc. discussed with Pingzhang, and the results of the deliberations can be granted as Marquis."

Although he didn't directly accuse the Ministry of Rites of making things difficult, Sun Shouzhen didn't completely let the matter go.

Everyone can hear that you... discuss with Pingzhang, what about the Ministry of Rites?
Does the Ministry of Rites disagree?
Of course, Lao Zhu also heard it. In fact, he also knew the dispute between the Ministry of Medicine and the Ministry of Rites about the "Medical Worship Temple". There were many daily things, and he didn't pay much attention to it before. It's not suitable to delay this matter any longer, so as not to delay the business.

So, after Sun Shouzhen finished speaking, Lao Zhu simply said: "Since you and others have discussed the rules, so be it, Qian Yongren..."

Qian Yongren, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly came out: "The minister is here!"

"According to what Sun Shouzhen said, don't worry about it too much. This medical department is also for the country and the people, and we can't delay the business because of some trivial matters." Lao Zhu said, and added: "Also, let's talk about the solid-state penicillin. In matters of merit, you should relax a bit, and don't be stingy."

Qian Yongren heard from Sun Shouzhen's words that a certain Xiao Pingzhang was ready to intervene. If the other party spoke to His Majesty the Emperor, there was still room for their etiquette department to move around.

Seeing that Qian Yongren let go, everyone in the medical department finally felt relieved.

Sun Shouzhen and Dai Sanchun couldn't help thinking, this time, there is no need for Lord Pingzhang to show up again.

Having said that, the court is so lively today, I don't know at the moment... Has Mr. Pingzhang woke up?
Should be no.

This is also what it should be, take a good rest, just rest.

As the biggest backer of the medical department, the young Pingzhang's sickly little body... From now on, everyone will have to pay more attention and help to recuperate more together.
