The prince was choked by his own saliva, and he coughed for a while before he recovered his breath. The other adults couldn't help laughing, which made Li Shangshu angry and funny, and couldn't find his own language for a while.
Zhou Man turned his head directly to look at Kong Jijiu, who was above him, "Kong Jijiu didn't object at all."
She glanced at Li Shangshu, what are you objecting to here, you are a Shangshu who is acting on your behalf
Although she didn't say this, her expression showed it undoubtedly. Li Shangshu was so angry that Yang Heshu, who was sitting next to her, lowered his voice and said, "The Imperial College is under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites..."
Zhou Man was silent for a while, looked up at Kong Jijiu, and asked with a serious face, "What does Kong Jijiu think?"
Kong Jijiu said slowly: "The sage said that there is no distinction between education and women can naturally go to school."
Li Shangshu: "Kong offers wine!"
Kong Jijiu smiled at Li Shangshu and said, "The princesses in the palace and the daughters of the clan have all studied classics and righteousness from childhood, and there are also women who have been literate in the folk since childhood. Since private schools can be like this, why does the Imperial College reject them? outside?"
Zhou Man nodded fiercely and decided that Kong Jijiu will be her confidant after that!
There are people who agree with Li Shangshu on this matter, and quite a few people who agree with Zhou Man. The emperor didn't think so much, and the etiquette did not restrict him that much.
He only proceeded from reality and thought of the reform of the local medical department. According to Zhou Man's booklet, the doctors sent to the local area should be divided into half and half as much as possible. It is necessary to study classics, history and arithmetic. Otherwise, you will only see the doctor and not manage the medical office. After a few years, it will be a question of whether the local medical office can continue.
As the emperor, he naturally hoped that there would be more smart people like Zhou Man and fewer stupid people.
And Zhou Man doesn't know how to separate himself, the world is so big, the Imperial Medical Office must have its own talents, otherwise all the officials will be selected from others, they don't know medical principles, if they see doctors clearly, there will be big problems after a long time.
This is the same as sending officials who can't fight and look down on soldiers and warriors to supervise the army.
The emperor changed his mind, ignored the opinions led by Li Shangshu, and said to Kong Jijiu Zhouman: "The Guozijian and the Imperial Medical Office should discuss in private the number of people to be dispatched and the method of teaching. Both men and women can study in the Guozijian."
Li Shangshu: "Your Majesty, this..."
Zhou Man had already stepped out happily and knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the students of the Imperial Medical Office, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Xiao Yuanzheng also got up to thank him.
Master Luo frowned, but followed suit.
When he was leaving the court, Master Luo couldn't help stopping Zhou Man, "Master Zhou, you have never discussed this matter with us before."
Zhou Man blinked and looked at Xiao Yuanzheng, "Didn't I discuss it with you?"
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly said: "I was negligent, Mr. Luo, Mr. Zhou mentioned this to me, no, I also mentioned to you about the joint school."
Lord Luo: "Your Excellency didn't say that we would send female students there."
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned slightly, "Why do you have to specify it specifically? They are all students from my Imperial Medical Office, so naturally they will be sent there on merit."
Zhou Man smiled and asked Lord Luo, "Why, Lord Luo also thinks that women should not learn the ways of sages?"
Lord Luo's back stiffened when he saw Zhou Man's smiling eyes, and he immediately smiled and said, "Of course not, I just feel that raising this matter at this time is a great hindrance, and it may affect the restructuring of the local medical department."
Zhou Man waved his hand and said indifferently: "Isn't the court agreeing now? The next step is to talk to Kong Jijiu about the number of students to be dispatched and the learning content."
Master Luo is not stupid, so naturally he didn't dare to belittle women in front of Zhou Man, but when Zhou Man left, he still couldn't help telling Xiao Yuan: "How inconvenient is it for a woman to be an official? Can they still concentrate on political affairs after they get married and have children? Wouldn’t it be a waste to give them places at this time?”
Xiao Yuanzheng said with a smile: "Master Luo, take a long-term view. Didn't Master Zhou also marry and have children? Do you think she is negligent in her administration now? There are many people in the Imperial Medical Office who marry and have children like her. There is something special during the period of pregnancy and just giving birth, and there are a lot of things they should do at other times, as for pregnancy and childbirth, it is also an increase in the number of people for my Dajin, and it is also a great achievement, isn't it?"
His vision is narrow, the same as he was back then.
Back then, he thought that Zhou Man was just a girl who couldn't go far, and that she was just a soy saucer when she entered the imperial hospital, and she was fine as a offering, but now it turns out.
For now, her prestige is no less than his. It can be seen that one has to look at the long-term, otherwise her face will hurt.
Xiao Yuan was walking away with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Man did not leave the palace, but ran after Kong Jijiu, all the way to the Chongwen Museum, "Kong Jijiu, let's talk about their curriculum."
Kong Jijiu looked at her with a smile and said: "Master Zhou, you are too impatient. This matter has just been settled, and it is still far away from entering school next spring. Why are you so anxious?"
Zhou Man: "But I can't stay until the beginning of next spring. This matter has been decided earlier, and I have to go back to Qingzhou."
Kong Jijiu shook his head, "Aren't there still Xiao Yuanzheng and Lord Luo?"
Zhou Man said with a smile: "That's all for Xiao Yuanzheng. He devotes himself to medical skills. It's not easy to bother him with these small things. As for Mr. Luo, he will be even busier. I just happen to be in Beijing. There are few things. Let's do this first." Let's talk."
Kong Jijiu narrowed his eyes: "Can you make a decision?"
Zhou Man nodded: "It's almost time for us to talk about it."
She doesn't care about Lord Luo's place, but Xiao Yuanzheng has already negotiated with him, and he is willing to hand over the matter to Zhou Man.
Kong Jijiu sat behind the table and tapped his fingers on the table, but instead of talking about the course, he asked, "Master Zhou, it's hard for me to ask in front of all my colleagues, but now I can't help but want to ask Master Zhou, female officer, do you only want to be limited to the Imperial Medical Department, or do you want them to enter other departments as well?"
Zhou Man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Kong Jijiu, I can't take care of other ministries, I just take care of the Imperial Medical Department and the Imperial Hospital."
She said: "I am an imperial physician, a doctor."
Kong Jijiu shook his head and said, "Lord Zhou, you are still editing by the Chongwen Museum. With your current achievements, given time, the Chongwen Museum will not be able to keep you. Outside the Chongwen Museum is the Imperial Academy, and outside it are the three provinces and six ministries."
In the past, Kong Jijiu would not have thought this way. After all, Zhou Man was always compiling medical books in the Chongwen Museum, and he didn't care about other things.
But now she has something to do with Xinliang, and judging from her performance at the Xiaochao meeting during this period, she has her own opinions on any government affairs, no less than the officials in the court.
Then, after being appreciated by the emperor and the prince, who knows if she can go one step further, leave the Chongwen Museum, leave the Imperial Medical Office, and go further
