Chapter 290: Lord Ping'an
Qin Yishu hesitated slightly.
"Your Majesty, I think what Minister He and Elder Wang said is very true. I also think that such virtuous people with excellent medical skills should be granted fiefs."
This time it was the Duke of Anguo Zhen Yiming who spoke, his voice was as loud as a swollen body, and at the end he said, "It's just that this old minister thinks that Doctor Su has made such remarkable contributions, but it is not appropriate to enfeoff him as a county lord. He should be enfeoffed as a county lord."
Qin Yishu: "..."
Why are you starting to raise your status?
The title of Xiangjun is not enough, but the title of Xianjun should be better? Just when Qin Yishu was surprised, Qin Jiashu also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Minister He and Lord Wang said is very right. Doctor Su should be granted the title of Xianjun, but it is not enough to just have the title, and he should be rewarded with one or two more."
"Since Doctor Su is saving lives, His Majesty should give him more medical books and herbs for daily use. Doctor Su is curing illnesses and saving lives, and this is also the merit of His Majesty, which is very good."
Qin Yishu: "..."
Why are you raising the price again? And you've even planned out the reward...
If he hadn't been in the main hall, he would have scratched his head and asked why.
It’s fine as for Lord Wang and Duke Anguo, they are both trusted ministers in the court and they have to express their opinions and positions on many things. But what’s going on with Qin Jiashu?
She had always been silent in the court, but today, she just mentioned a matter of rewarding a doctor based on merit, and she jumped out like this, driving up prices? But what happened next almost made Qin Yishu's jaw drop to the ground.
"Your Majesty, I also think that what Minister He, Lord Wang, Duke Anguo and Prince Jia said is very true." This time it was Wu Xingyu who spoke, "Doctor Su should be granted the title of county lady and rewarded a few."
Qin Yishu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Even rubbed his ears.
Did I hear it right? Wu Xingyu was actually speaking for He Yanxiu and thought what he said was absolutely right?
Everyone in the court, whether civil or military, knows that Wu Xingyu is a fool. Relying on his family's enormous power, he always looks down on others. Because of the marriage between his family and the eldest prince, he regards the He family as his mortal enemy and always says bad things about He Yanxiu.
At this time, he actually helped He Yanxiu speak...
The sun rises in the west?
Qin Yishu was also very surprised and looked at Wu Xingyu, "Why does Doctor Wu think so?"
"When I was doing disaster relief in Hong Zheng Prefecture, I met Doctor Su several times. She is indeed a skilled doctor who is hardworking and never complains. She is a remarkable woman. Such women should be role models for the world."
After Wu Xingyu finished speaking, he was afraid that Qin Yishu would not believe him, so he quickly added, "What I said is the truth. Not only me, but also the prefect of Hongzheng Prefecture and the people all say so!"
"This is real, more real than real gold!"
Wu Xingyu was born tall and strong, with a rough face and a beard. He spoke with a solemn expression, as if he was afraid that others would not believe him, which made others laugh.
Even Qin Yishu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But regarding the matter of enfeoffment of a female doctor as a county lady...
Qin Yishu reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.
Duke Anguo was the first to kneel on the ground, "This old minister begs the emperor to issue an order to reward Doctor Su according to his merits and enfeoff him as a county lady."
Then, Qin Jiashu, Wang Ge Lao, Qin Peiyou, He Yanxiu, and the officials who were on good terms with him, and even Wu Xingyu all knelt on the ground, "Please ask the emperor to enfeoff Doctor Su as a county lady."
In the hall, most of the people were kneeling. The remaining followers of Qin Peiyuan and Qin Peiheng felt that it was a bit awkward to stand, so they all knelt down.
Seeing that there were only two brothers left in the hall, Qin Peiyuan gritted his teeth and pulled Qin Peiheng to kneel down together.
In this way, all the civil and military officials in the court agreed.
Qin Yishu frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his hand, "Since all of you believe that the title should be divided, then I will issue an edict to confer the title of County Lord to Doctor Su. Doctor Su has been healing the world, saving lives, and bringing peace to the people, so he will be given the title of Ping'an County Lord. The imperial edict will be issued soon, and the Ministry of Rites will arrange the title and choose a place to build a County Lord residence."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He Yanxiu was the first to express his gratitude.
The rest of the people expressed their gratitude together, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After everyone stood up, Qin Peiyuan bowed and said, "Father, this time the Hongzheng Prefecture provided disaster relief, County Anmin contributed a lot, helping to prepare food and set up porridge stalls everywhere, and his two children helped to prepare medicinal materials for the treatment of the epidemic. For such a kind and generous heart, Father should also reward him a little."
"It's only right to reward people based on their merits." Qin Yishu nodded.
Qin Yishu had met the son of Anmin County once. He had a good impression of him because he was tactful in his actions and donated a large amount of his property for Anmin's use.
Merchants seek profit, but if they use the profit to benefit the people, it would be of great help to the court.
Qin Yishu had already known about the incident at the Hongzheng Mansion from the memorials submitted to the emperor, and he was also interested in rewarding Qin Peiyuan. When he saw Qin Peiyuan speaking, he asked, "How do you think we should reward him?"
"I think that since the son of Anmin County is so kind, he should be honored and given the title of Anmin Earl. His son Su Wenxuan is well-informed and can be used in a prudent way. I think he can be an official in the capital."
Qin Yishu nodded, "Just as you said, confer the title of Anmin Earl to Anmin County. Since Su Wenxuan has the talent to lead affairs and is very proficient in writing, he should first enter the Hanlin Academy as an editor."
The editors of the Hanlin Academy are responsible for drafting imperial edicts, compiling historical books, etc. Although they are only seventh-rank officials, the Hanlin Academy is in charge of the daily affairs of the court. Many cabinet ministers in the court are from the Hanlin Academy. In every palace examination, only the second and third place winners can enter the Hanlin Academy and serve as editors.
It can be said that if one can enter the Hanlin Academy, as long as one has sufficient ability, one can rise to a high position in the future and become an important official in the court.
Qin Yishu's commendation is a very generous gesture.
"Your Majesty is wise. I, on behalf of Marquis Anmin and Editor Su, would like to thank you for your grace." Qin Peiyou kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Qin Yishu raised his hand, motioning him to stand up.
Seeing that everything had been resolved, Qin Yishu placed his hands on the armrests of the dragon throne, ready to leave the court.
Minister Yan gritted his teeth and stood up, "Your Majesty, I..."
Is it because she saw that he hadn't responded for a long time and she wanted to take advantage of his good mood to mention the arranged marriage?
Qin Yishu's eyelids drooped slightly. "Minister Yan's words reminded me that Old Madam Yan will celebrate her birthday soon. Her birthday is two days earlier than the Empress Dowager's. There are not many people in the court who are as old as Old Madam Yan. She should celebrate her birthday well."
"Minister Yan is usually busy with government affairs, and I'm afraid he can't stay at home to show his filial piety. On this birthday of Old Madam Yan, I will reward her with ten pieces of brocade and one hundred taels of gold, which can be regarded as a token of filial piety on behalf of Minister Yan."
