Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 238 How can I break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly if I don't bind myself in a cocoon...

what···

Li Gen felt a little strange.

What's the urgent report at this time?

What's more, there are guards outside, not messengers.

It is impossible for Qingque and the others to get news so quickly.

Moreover, even if there is news, the messenger soldiers will not be allowed to report it.

The carrier pigeons taken away are the best messengers for Qingque to pass letters to her own pigeons.

"What's the report?"

"If you go back to His Highness, the temple should ask the real person to see you."

Hearing the Imperial Guard's words, Li Gen's brows stretched.

There is only one person in the entire Tang Dynasty who can be called Miaoying Daoist.

That is the famous Sun Simiao.

Sun Zhenren, who is honored as the king of medicine by later generations.

"Really Sun, please take a break in the imperial study."

"My palace will be here soon."

Li Gen immediately announced his withdrawal from the court.

Walk to the Imperial Study Room.

Everyone's ideals are often related to their own circumstances.

Sun Simiao is such an example.

Some people are born with a golden key in their mouth.

However, Sun Simiao was born with a medicine spoon in his mouth. As soon as he was born, Sun Simiao was plagued by stubborn illnesses.

If you are sick, you need to be healed.

Although the Sun family is poor.

At that time, there was no medical insurance, and there was no such thing as donations and relief.

Sun Simiao's father, in order to treat him.

All the property that could be sold in the family was sold.

This is a great father, and a father worthy of respect and admiration.

If not, a generation of medicine kings might have passed away early.

Even so, it happened that God did not fulfill his wishes.

The family is already destitute, and Sun Simiao's condition has not improved.

Even several times, they all brushed shoulders with death.

When friends of the same age began to climb trees and dig out bird nests.

Sun Simiao can only keep company with the medicine jar.

As the saying goes, heaven pays off.

The news that Sun Simiao's father spent all his family money to treat his son's illness spread widely.

A herb picker heard the news and sent some herbs.

As the old saying goes, there is no such thing as a perfect road.

Sun Simiao, who sought medical treatment everywhere but failed.

After drinking those herbs, he miraculously recovered completely.

Sun Simiao, who recovered physically, determined to study medicine.

And I have to meet the herb collector, and even more so, I have to worship the herb collector as my teacher.

However, the sea of ​​people is vast, and the herb picker has long since disappeared.

Sun Simiao, who has already set his ambition to study medicine, has not changed his original intention.

From then on, the path of studying medicine began.

Whenever you meet a doctor or a doctor.

Sun Simiao is always not ashamed to ask.

At this time, Sun Simiao's extreme intelligence began to show.

I started studying medicine at the age of seven, and when I arrived.

Sun Simiao was already quite famous.

Many physicians no longer have the ability to teach this eager young man.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty heard the words and wanted to summon Sun Simiao to the palace.

Sun Simiao was ill and did not go.

He naturally knew that once he entered the palace, it would be difficult to come out again.

However, Sun Simiao's ambition is to heal the sick people.

For more than ten years, Sun Simiao has healed countless people.

Later, he traveled all over the southeast and northwest of the Tang Dynasty, visiting famous doctors from all over the country, exchanging and learning, gathering herbs, and curing diseases for the common people.

Sun Simiao's reputation is also growing.

He is respected by the people as Miaoying Zhenren.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he wanted Sun Simiao to be in charge of the Imperial Medical Office.

Sun Simiao was unmoved, and apart from occasionally coming to the Imperial Medical Office to give lectures, most of the time he still traveled around the Tang Dynasty to diagnose and treat common diseases.

Sun Simiao once had a relationship with Li Gen.

It was the second year of Zhenguan, when the life of Cheng Yaojin's wife, Mrs. Sun, was hanging by a thread.

Li Gen led Chunlan, Chunju and other maids to the Fangfang Mansion to rescue Sun's family urgently.

It happened that on that day, Sun Simiao returned to the Imperial Medical Office.

Li Shimin then told him that Mrs. Cheng Yaojin had a catastrophe today.

Sun Simiao was in the Cheng residence and witnessed the whole process of Li Gen commanding several servant girls to rescue Sun.

Originally, Sun had no vital signs.

He was rescued from the gate of hell.

Sun Simiao talked for a long time with the young Li Gen afterwards.

While feeling that this young man is not easy, he also knew for the first time, the method of first aid of cardiac resuscitation.

To Sun Simiao's relief, over the past ten years, he has traveled all over the world, and he really relied on this method of cardiac resuscitation for first aid.

Saved the lives of several people!

Li Shimin, the edict that canonized Li Gen as the King of Qin made Sun Simiao really happy.

This time, King Qin returned from the Western Regions, was canonized as the prince, and began to supervise the country and govern.

Sun Simiao was on the street when he suddenly heard the cheers of the people, and only then did he learn that the King of Qin was named the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Simiao began to come from the land of Bashu to Chang'an City.

This journey was full of dust and dust, and it took three months before they arrived at Chang'an City.

Sun Simiao was sitting in the imperial study room, when he heard footsteps outside, he stood up immediately.

"Sun Zhenren, please sit down quickly."

"Come here, serve tea to Sun Zhenren!"

"Delu, tell the imperial dining room to prepare the best banquet immediately, and send it to the imperial study room as quickly as possible."

Every historical figure deserves respect!

What's more, this is the medicine king who left the world-shaking works "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and "Thousand Gold Wing Prescriptions".

Doctors of later generations have saved the lives of countless patients by relying on "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and "Thousand Gold Wing Prescriptions".

It also allowed the medical skills of the Huaxia clan to be passed down from generation to generation, with a long history!

Tea is served.

Li Gen and Sun Simiao sat opposite each other.

Throughout the morning, the two chatted more and more speculatively, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for many years.

Everyone knows that Sun Simiao is the king of medicine, and he is even honored as the saint of medicine.

Few people know that Sun Simiao is not only good at yin and yang, but also very proficient in calendar and Qimen gossip.

"Your Highness, your reputation among the people is now in full swing!"

"The cheers of the people resounded all over the Tang Dynasty when they learned about His Highness's supervision of the country."

"The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the future will far exceed that of Emperor Qin, Han and Wu..."

Li Gen nodded with a smile, just at this time, the waiter brought the delicious food and wine.

"Sun Zhenzhen, I'm overwhelmed. I just did what I should do!"

Sun Simiao put his hand on his beard and nodded with a smile.

Li Gen had to lament that the beards of people are too long now.

Right now, Sun Simiao's beard is more than a foot long.

Your skin and hair is from your parents.

Some people think that ancient people did not cut their hair or shave their beards.

Actually it is not.

In ancient times, there was a peculiar penalty → Kun penalty, which was said to have begun in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Here I will explain to you the meaning of Kun Xing.

It is to cut off the hair of those who break the law.

To what extent?

According to the responsibility of the crime, it is divided into board size and bald head!
You read it right.

The two hairstyles that were quite popular in later generations were symbols of criminal punishment in ancient times.

People would rather suffer ten boards than have their hair cut to size or have a bald head.

Otherwise, it will become a disaster that everyone respects and stays away from.

The waiter filled the wine bottle with fine wine.

Li Gen picked up the wine bottle.

"Sun Zhenzhen, I respect you with a bottle of wine."

"Your Highness, you can't..."

Sun Simiao, quickly picked up the wine bottle and came over to salute.

"Renren Sun, what I do in this palace is similar to what the real person does!"

"It's all for the world!"

"It's all for the benefit of the people!"

"I want the common people to live a more prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing."

"Really, I want the common people to be free from stubborn illnesses and no longer suffer from illnesses!"

"I have suffered a lot in life since I was a child!"

"A real person has suffered from illnesses since childhood!"

Li Gen's words, invisibly, once again narrowed the distance between the two.

"Bengong, I started to concentrate on my studies when I was young, just to get rid of the predicament of life."

"Really, I started to study medicine at a young age, for the sake of the common people in the world."

"Compared to real people, I really feel ashamed!"

"Your Highness is serious!"

Sun Simiao picked up the wine bottle and spoke.

"His Royal Highness' four mottoes, establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations!"

"It's true, Rangchen, feel ashamed!"

In the imperial study room, the old and the young started to cherish each other.

Compared to the gray-haired Sun Simiao, Li Gen is indeed a young man.

"Really, I know that when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty allowed you to enter the Imperial Academy as a doctor, the real person pretended to be seriously ill, but did not enter the palace."

"In fact, the real person has already calculated that 50 years later, there will be a saint in this world!"

When Li Gen's words fell to the ground, Sun Simiao's eyes widened instantly.

Sun Simiao never mentioned this matter to anyone.

How did the prince in front of him know?
Li Gen, seeing Sun Simiao's expression, knew that he had made the right bet.

It seems that there is indeed such a thing in the new Tang Dynasty records.

"Really, I need your help and support."

"To make the Tang Dynasty prosperous forever, not only the country is rich and the people are strong, but the people have no worries about food and clothing."

"It is the foundation of prosperity that every common people, whether it is a newborn baby, a pregnant woman giving birth, or an elderly person, can receive proper medical help."

"Renren, in the current Tang Dynasty, there are too few doctors, and there are even fewer people like Zhenren."

"Even if a real person travels all over the Tang Dynasty all year round, the number of people he can heal is limited after all."

Sun Simiao's expression became more excited and exciting following Li Gen's words.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

When Sun Simiao's words fell to the ground, Li Gen immediately spoke.

"The establishment of Datang Medical College, with Zhenren as the dean, recruits talents from all over the world who are willing to study medicine, so that Zhenren's medical skills can be passed down."

"One day, real people will have peaches and plums all over the world, and there will be real people's disciples everywhere in the provinces, prefectures, counties and townships of the Tang Dynasty."

"Why do real people travel around and work hard? People who are sick will receive the most timely treatment."

"In order to ensure that Datang Medical College can recruit the most outstanding students, I believe that the status of future medical practitioners should be greatly improved."

"My palace has an idea to allow teachers and doctors to enjoy state salaries in about ten years..."

"..."

Li Gen confessed all the preliminary ideas in his mind.

Sun Simiao's eyes became hotter and hotter.

"Your Highness is wise, please accept my bow."

"Really, in this way, are you willing to stay?"

Li Gen finally got straight to the point.

"I heard what His Royal Highness said, minister, how can I shirk again."

"Your Highness, minister, I respectfully present you with a bottle of wine."

This time, Li Gen did not shirk.

The two monarchs and ministers sing to wine.

Started to discuss about Datang Medical College.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, you should go back to the palace and go to bed."

What the servant said surprised Li Gen and Sun Simiao.

The two have been chatting from morning to night.

"Really, you will stay overnight tonight and go to court tomorrow. I have something important to announce."

Sun Simiao resigned and left.

Walking out of the imperial study room, the outside is already full of bright moon and stars.

Sun Simiao's spirit is very good.

Finally, there is a wise king who really cares about the suffering of the people at the bottom.

Such a sage, how can he not help himself.

He must be the saint he calculated back then.

It's just that the time has advanced.

Early the next day.

Li Gen went straight to the Xiande Hall full of energy.

"Come here, Master Xuansun will see you."

Sun Simiao stepped into the Xiande Hall.

Today, Sun Simiao deliberately changed into a new suit instead of the old Taoist robe.

"My lords, Master Sun returned from his travels yesterday, and Bengong and Master Sun have been talking late into the night."

"Sun Zhenzhen is a highly respected person in the medical field. He travels all over the Tang Dynasty all year round. Apart from collecting herbs, he also treats people's stubborn diseases. For many years, he has never stopped."

"I admire the real person's medical ethics, and even more admire the real person's medical skills."

"In order to carry forward the medical skills of real people, so that the people of Tang Dynasty will no longer worry about chronic diseases and cannot find a doctor to treat them."

"My palace decides..."

"From now on, the six divisions in the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty will be changed to seven divisions in the three provinces."

"Increase the medical department on the basis of the six departments."

"Sun Simiao, the first minister of the Ministry of Medicine."

When Li Gen's words fell to the ground, all the civil and military officials of Xiande Hall shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, please follow His Highness's instructions!"

This is the benefit of all civil and military officials in the hall.

Baiguan had no objection to Li Gen's appointment and change at all.

Change the three provinces and six departments to three provinces and seven departments.

Even if Li Shimin went to court to discuss matters, it would definitely not go so smoothly.

After all, such a change is truly a major national event.

Sun Simiao never expected that the prince would suddenly add a medical department, and he would be appointed as the Minister of the medical department.

However, none of the civil and military officials came forward to object.

Didn't it be agreed yesterday that Datang Medical College would be established?
Before Sun Simiao could react, Li Gen continued to speak.

"Sun Shangshu's medical skills are the great fortune of the country and the blessing of the people."

"In view of this, I intend to open the Datang Medical College to recruit young talents from all over the world, young people who are interested in practicing medicine."

"The Twelve Provincial Roads of the Tang Dynasty must send no less than 50 people to come to Tai Hospital to study medicine every year."

"This palace can make it clear that 360 lines will lead to the number one scholar. In the future, in the Tang Dynasty, the way out for young men will not only be the imperial examination..."

Li Gen's words, once again, attracted echoes from Xiande Hall.

"Back to the court, Sun Shangshu stays."

Sun Simiao was taken aback, the court meeting, which was supposed to take about an hour, now didn't even take a quarter of an hour?
But this style, he likes it.

All the officials saluted and retired.

"Sun Shangshu, the mansion has been prepared for you. Wait a minute, I will take you there in person. By the way, let's see where our Datang Medical College should be located."

Li Gen led Sun Simiao, got on the king's car, and went straight to Yongchangfang.

Sun Simiao never expected that the prince would actually place his residence in Yongchangfang.

Yongchangfang is just across the street from the Imperial Palace.

When he came to the gate of the mansion, Sun Simiao was even more taken aback.

Medicine King's Mansion.

The three big characters shine brightly under the sunlight.

"Your Highness loves me dearly, I am ashamed to accept it!"

Sun Simiao is also a person of temperament, and was completely moved by the prince's kindness.

"Sun Shangshu, I know that you don't like extravagance, so the mansion only arranges an old housekeeper and two maids to take care of Sun Shangshu's food and daily life."

"After Mrs. Sun comes to Chang'an City, we will make arrangements."

Sun Simiao nodded with a smile.

"Okay, Your Highness is so kind, I will settle down in Chang'an City from now on."

When the two stepped into the mansion, the old butler with a kind face immediately greeted them.

The two maids started making tea and water neatly.

Whether it is the housekeeper or the maid, Sun Simiao is very satisfied.

Speaking of the Datang Medical College.

Sun Simiao smiled and stroked his beard, and said.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about the location of the medical school."

"Chen, I already have the best place in my heart."
