Chapter 422: Genuine

Views:

Fu Guang was injured and had to rest carefully in Hanyuan Hall. As the Queen Mother, Li Wei would make a trip to visit Fu Guang every day, and would send someone to greet her if something happened.

According to the imperial doctor, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. Fu Guang injured his bones, so he had to rest for at least three months. After he was completely healed, his legs would not be disabled.

Li Wei couldn't help but feel sad after hearing this. If Fu Guang was good or bad, she would meet her eldest cousin in the future and see how the late emperor explained to them. Fortunately, the best doctors in Da Qi gathered here, and all the imperial doctors could be mobilized to treat Fu Guang.

On this day, several imperial doctors completed their consultation with Fu Guang and discussed how to use medicine. Then, Li Wei sent someone over to invite the Fang Yuan envoy to go to Chongqing Palace to discuss matters.

Fang Yuan's envoy thought that it was just the emperor's injury. He just broke a bone and just nursed it slowly.

The envoy of Fang Yuan asked the people around him to consider the medicine, so he went to Chongqing Palace.

Here, Li Wei had already prepared tea and fruits in Linglong Pavilion and was waiting for the envoy. About a quarter of an hour later, the envoy from Fang Yuan came over. The envoy of Fang Yuan wanted to salute, but Li Wei said: "The envoy of the Fang Yuan is invited to get up without any courtesy."

She sat at the top and asked the envoy of the Courtyard to take the seat below.

"The emperor's leg injury has caused some imperial doctors to worry about it."

As the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, Fangzheng is now Fu Guang's attending physician. When Fu Guang is ill, he naturally has a responsibility that he cannot relax. The envoy from Fang Yuan leaned forward and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as the Emperor concentrates on resting for some time, he will be fine. He is young, his bones are still growing, and they will heal quickly."

Li Wei said: "That's true. Although he is still young now, he is a king after all and the future master of this country. I hope he is well."

After talking about Fu Guang, Li Wei naturally changed the topic to the Hui Medical Department.

"How about the two Hui Medical Offices built in Gongdefang and Laichunfang?"

The Queen Mother asked Guang Jianhui Medical Office to build two pilot buildings in the capital. Gongdefang and Laichunfang are both areas where civilians gather, and they are also the locations appointed by the Queen Mother.

It has been almost a month since the incident, so Li Wei naturally wanted to ask how it went.

The envoy of Fang Yuan was not surprised by Li Wei's question. He said slowly: "The location has been chosen, and the bricks, sand, soil and wood are being purchased. It should be almost completed by the Double Ninth Festival."

Li Wei said: "The weather is cold in autumn and winter, and it is easy to get sick. It will be just in time after it is completed. I don't know much about the project, but I will send the right people to supervise it. Once the necessary money is spent, I will also ask the household department to The clerk compiled the account books and brought them to me. Every penny has to be spent wisely. "

The envoy from Fang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, you are right."

"In addition to these two medical offices, I also plan to build a training and training center for doctors by the end of the year. This must be led by your Taipei Hospital. I hope to train a group of suitable young doctors so that the medical office can accept patients in the future. Only the manpower is available. The professor at the training center wants you to take turns to be on duty. As for the teaching materials, the envoy from Fang Yuan will take the lead in compiling a set of simple and introductory teaching materials. Bring it to me later.”

"Does the Queen Mother really plan to build this training center for doctors?"

Li Wei said: "Yes, I have said this before, it is not a joke. Build one first and see how it works. After two or three years, when the national treasury is more abundant, we can slowly promote it across the country. , and strive to have one in every state. That’s why I asked you imperial doctors to donate some of your treasured prescriptions to benefit the people. It is also a great merit. Mr. Fang is now the envoy of the hospital, which is the highest official position of a doctor. After serving in the inner court for so many years, the late emperor admired your medical skills very much, and Emperor Xiaozong also trusted you when he was still there. Therefore, the emperor and I also respect you very much and hope that you can take the lead in carrying out these two major events that will benefit the country and the people. It’s done. At least we have to give people a place to see a doctor when they’re sick. This is a top priority. Let’s get this done before we talk about anything else. So Mr. Fang has a big responsibility and I’ll let you take care of it.”

Such a big hat was thrown off, and Fang Zheng had to agree even if he didn't agree. He bit the bullet and accepted the Queen Mother's dispatch.

After coming out of Chongqing Palace, Ambassador Fang had always had a gloomy face. He was also very upset about such an errand, knowing that he had picked up a hot potato, but he still couldn't throw it away.

He returned to Tai Hospital, where officials were sorting out the pulse.

"Your Excellency, you are back."

Guan Limu had only been in the Imperial Hospital for a year, and he was completely ignorant. It was not his turn to treat the concubines, so he could only help sort out the medical records and do some record-keeping. Here he thought about going to a good doctor in the feudal prince's palace, which was better than suffering here, unable to do anything.

The official took a bowl of tea and presented it to Fang Zheng. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"Take it down! It's full of tea, there's still room." Fang Zheng naturally didn't even look at this young man, and his tone was naturally very rude.

Guan Limu was holding a tea bowl, in a dilemma, with an embarrassed look on his face. He thought that the boss must have been angry somewhere, and he would vent his anger on their subordinates when he came back.

Just when he was in trouble, Judge Shi Yuan came in. He winked at Guan Limu, and Guan Limu took the opportunity to retreat.

"Master Fang, are you being scolded by the Queen Mother? Is it because of the Emperor's legs?"

Fang Zheng said slowly: "Not really."

"No, that's fine. When I heard that the Queen Mother summoned you to come over, I thought she was going to hold you accountable for the emperor's affairs. Then there's nothing to look away from."

"There's nothing I can't see."

"Your Majesty, the gloomy look on your face scared Xiaoguan just now. By the way, the Queen Mother summoned you for something?"

Fangzheng felt a headache when he mentioned this, so he said, "It's nothing serious. She told me about the Hui Medical Department and the training center for doctors. She keeps people idle all day long. After all, she is young and has a restless mind. I’m looking for things to do all day long.”

"Doctor Training Center? What is that? The name sounds a little weird." Judge Shi Yuan asked doubtfully.

“The Queen Mother mentioned before that she wanted to build a school to train doctors. I thought it was just a talk. Today she made it clear to me that we will build one by the end of the year and see how the effect is. If it is good, we plan to promote it nationwide. I'm afraid life for us people will become more and more difficult in the future. Now that part of our salary has been cut, we have to rely on selling medicines and secret recipes to support our family. If this is taken away, I'm afraid... "

"Secret recipe? The Queen Mother really wants us to contribute the recipe?"

"Yes, they asked us to come up with some prescriptions and then asked me to compile the teaching materials for the training center, but they only gave me four months." Fang Zheng felt extremely troubled when he talked about these things.

After hearing this, the judge from the Stone Court said: "The Queen Mother is serious about this."
