After the emperor and the empress had finished their small talk and let out their temper, the next day they squeezed out a smile as usual and went to court.
It was not the day of the Great Court Meeting, so Man Bao happily went to the Tai Hospital. The Tai Hospital was fine today, so she moved to the Chongwen Museum to repair books.
The imperial medical department has been restructured, and more students will be recruited this year, and many doctors from other places will come to study here. Well, the main reason is that they are still young, and they are still within the enrollment range.
Xiaoyuan is subdividing the courses in the imperial medical department into a little bit, so the courses to be taken and the medical books needed are also more detailed.
Physician Liu and the others are okay, they have no official position, they get medical books to teach, if they want to teach what is not in the medical books, they don’t teach if they don’t want to.
But Man Bao couldn't. As an editor of the Chongwen Museum, and she was mainly responsible for the compilation of medical books, she had to consider the teaching resources of the Imperial Medical Office.
Xiao Yuanzheng also likes to ask her for medical books, and with this salary, Man Bao can't slack off.
In fact, Man Bao really wanted to give the emperor a suggestion, give Xiao Yuanzheng and Liu Taiyi a part-time editorial job, let's work together to edit books.
It's a pity that she knows that it is impossible to confer rewards on a large scale, so she can only think about it in her heart.
Man Bao took out the medical books copied by Zhou Liru and the others during this period, and then listed the outline, intending to summarize and plan the content, compile and print the knowledge of these medical books into a book for the students to read.
Just remembering Xingtou, an editor shouted outside, "Editor Zhou, someone is looking for you."
Man Bao said without raising his head, "Please come in."
Man Bao wrote all of this page before raising his head. Seeing Zhou Liru, he was slightly stunned, "How did you find it?"
Zhou Liru whispered: "Teacher, this is the medical book you asked us to copy, and we have finished copying it."
Man Bao put down the pen, reached out to take it, and praised: "Good job, then continue copying."
"No more." Zhou Liru felt aggrieved when he said this.
When Man Bao heard this, he frowned, "Didn't I ask Imperial Doctor Zheng to fetch it for you?"
Zhou Liru immediately said: "Yes, Imperial Physician Zheng also went to the hospital in the morning, but the Imperial Academy refused to take it, saying that Mr. Zheng's injury has stabilized, and the Imperial Academy is no longer open to our imperial hospital. So Imperial Physician Zheng couldn't get the books back, and the few copies we copied were asked to go back."
Man Bao stared, she still had several books that she hadn't borrowed, especially some herbal classics, some books had additions, and the medical books in Chongwen Museum and outside were missing those additions, how could they not lend them
Man Bao got up immediately, "Is that what the Imperial Academy said?"
"yes."
Man Bao pursed his lips, and immediately went to find the Imperial Academy, halfway there, he felt that it was not good enough, so he turned to look for Bai Shan.
"The Imperial Academy won't lend you medical books?"
Man Bao nodded, held back his breath and said, "This medical book is not any other book. Why do they not agree with the matter of curing diseases and saving lives, and building a seven-level pagoda?"
Bai Shan asked: "Have you damaged and polluted books?"
"Are we like that?" Man Bao said, "It's just to prevent them from making excuses. I told them early in the morning not to contaminate the books. Doctor Zheng also inspected the books when they returned them. There is nothing wrong with the books. .”
After thinking for a while, Bai Shan said: "I'm still on duty now, and I can't go with you to the Imperial Academy. You have to wait for me to change shift after noon, and then I will go with you."
Man Bao nodded, then quietly glanced at the main hall, and asked, "How is Your Majesty feeling today?"
Bai Shan asked: "Do you want to ask Your Majesty?"
Man Bao: "I want His Majesty to directly order me to borrow all the medical books."
Bai Shan was thoughtful, "You don't need to ask His Majesty for such a small matter, just ask His Majesty the Crown Prince."
He said: "I will accompany you for a walk in the afternoon. If you can't borrow it, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to borrow it on the grounds that you want to compile it."
"Compilation?"
Bai Shan nodded, "It's common for the Imperial Academy and the Chongwen Library to borrow books from each other. Now that Mr. Zheng's injury has stabilized, it's not enough to use this excuse to borrow books, and..."
He looked at Man Bao and said with a smile: "How many of the medical books you borrowed really involve Mr. Zheng's injury? There are probably quite a few people at the Imperial Academy who have opinions."
Man Bao snorted, "But this is a medical book, not a military book, nor a book that involves some secrets. What can be kept secret?"
When Gu Zhong found the door, he saw the young couple hiding in the back of the hall and muttering. Because of the angle, they didn't see him, but he listened to a lot. Hearing Zhou Man's complaint, Gu Zhong smiled , turned back to the hall.
The emperor was taking a break at halftime, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and seeing Gu Zhong coming back alone, he said, "Didn't you ask Bai Shan to read to me?"
Gu Zhong said with a smile: "Physician Zhou is outside, the young couple are talking, so don't bother the young ones too much."
"What is Zhou Man here for?" The emperor became curious, "Don't you miss you after half a day?"
No way, Zhou Man has been imprisoned in Huangzhuang for ten days and half a month.
Gu Zhong said with a smile: "Physician Zhou has been wronged, so he came to seek Master Bai's help."
"Oh?" The emperor became more interested, his head stopped hurting, and he asked enthusiastically, "What wronged her?"
Gu Zhong tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's far away, so I can't hear it very clearly. It seems that the Imperial Academy didn't lend medical books to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou was very angry, so he came to ask Mr. Bai for help."
The emperor burst out laughing, but his face became serious after he had enjoyed it, "Why did the Imperial Academy hold back the medical books and not give them to Zhou Man?"
Gu Zhong said with a smile: "Probably Mr. Zheng's injury has stabilized. Isn't it because of Mr. Zheng's injury that His Majesty first wrote Mr. Zhou?"
"But doctors can't just look for medical books every time they have intractable diseases, can they?" The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Medical books are nothing else, and the Imperial Academy shouldn't hold them like this."
Gu Zhong lowered his head and did not express his views on this matter.
The emperor knocked on the table and took this matter to heart, but Bai Shan didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything, watching the young couple toss.
When Bai Shan came back to study for the emperor, the two had another hand-to-hand conversation. At noon, the emperor went to have lunch and a lunch break, and Bai Shan also went to have a work meal, and then used the rest time to go to find Man Bao and go to Hanlin together. hospital.
The Imperial Academy also followed the rules, so of course they refused to give it.
So Bai Shan could only take Man Bao to Zhan Shifu to find the prince.
The crown prince was also busy, so he heard the two start talking and asked, "So which medical books do you want?"
This Man Bao has done his homework. Before that, she and Bai Shan Bai Erlang went through the catalogs of the two buildings in the Imperial Academy. They wrote down all the medical books that Man Bao hadn’t read, minus the time she had borrowed. Of the transcribed ones, there are only nineteen volumes left, not many.
Man Bao directly gave the list to the prince.
The prince glanced at it, took a pen and wrote a piece of paper for them, affixed his official seal and handed it to Bai Shandao: "Go to Zhan Shifu to get another one, and take it to the Imperial Academy to pick up the book."
Both Man Bao and Bai Shan were overjoyed, and Bai Shan respectfully presented the list of books, "Your Highness, why don't you put a stamp on it too?"
Prince: ...
He gave the two of them a sneaky look, but still stamped one on the book list for them.
The two left happily, and went to the front to find Guo Zhan to stamp the matter.
