Chapter 1292 Rumors
Mr. Zhuang never thought that the court would agree. The reason why he asked them to look up information on their own and learn how to write proposals was just to give them something to do and take the opportunity to learn more.
Just like the articles they wrote when they were little after doing forced labor, they rewrote and deleted an article for two years, and in the end, even if they gave it to County Magistrate Fu to read, wouldn’t it still be left unfinished?
The affairs of the court are never so simple. With so much experience, they will naturally understand without him saying anything.
Mr. Zhuang felt that after this experience, the three of them would no longer ask such questions and they would be able to figure it out on their own.
So he slowly put the question aside, smiled slightly and said, "You'll know once you try it."
Bai Shan and Man Bao thought so too, so they turned around and continued to organize the information.
Mr. Zhuang stood up and walked behind Bai Erlang. He glanced at the manuscript he had written, shook his head, and patted him on the shoulder. "Have you read it for tomorrow's class? Biographies are interesting, but don't neglect your studies. Otherwise, I'll take it all from you."
Bai Erlang finished writing a draft silently and then took out a book to read.
When Bai Shan and Man Bao saw this, they couldn't help but lower their heads and hold back their laughter. They were extremely happy.
Bai Erlang actually had some trouble keeping up with his studies at the Imperial College at the beginning, but fortunately, all the students in his class were admitted through imperial grace, and they were not as talented as the students in other classes.
The teachers made the lessons easier, and Bai Jiro performed well in the class, and he made steady progress.
Although it still cannot be compared with the students who were admitted through the major examinations, it is much better than when they first entered.
Especially since Bai Erlang, although he was a little noisy, was still one of the more studious students in the school, so the teachers liked him quite a lot.
Specifically, every time in class, teachers like to call on him to answer questions.
Bai Shan had already become one of the most famous figures in the Imperial College, not only because he had filed a complaint with the emperor in the palace, spent time in prison, and defeated a prince, but also because of his achievements.
Eighty percent of the students in the Imperial Academy were admitted through imperial favor, and only 20% were admitted through the imperial examination.
Although there were many outstanding students among the students who were admitted through Enyin, there were still good and bad students. Therefore, Bai Shan surpassed his classmates at a speed visible to the naked eye and became one of the students recognized as having the best grades.
Since it was so outstanding, it naturally attracted a lot of attention. The students of the Imperial College always loved to spread gossip, so the day before, they were looking for records about the Imperial Medical Bureau in the library, and many ministers knew about it the next day.
But they didn't take it to heart, because Bai Shan and Zhou Man were in the same group.
Now Zhou Man is not only a famous little doctor in the capital, but also treats the queen and the prince in the palace. The ministers thought, does Zhou Man want to join the Imperial Medical Bureau?
Just let her in. It's just a girl. It won't be a big deal to give her a seventh or eighth grade rank. The most important thing is that her medical skills are really good. I heard that Han Shangshu's daughter had a difficult delivery, so she performed a laparotomy to deliver the baby. She is doing well now.
This matter has spread throughout the upper-class families' backyards in the past two days, and after returning home, they often hear their wives talk about this strange incident.
Of course, although they were also very curious, they would never ask Han Shangshu in person.
But it is still possible to talk about it in private, and the same thing happened today. After the court meeting, those who need to leave the palace to work in the government office will go to their respective offices;
Those who had to stay in the duty room to work or had to meet the emperor to discuss matters would sit in the duty room first, read the memorials and drink tea.
Han Shangshu finished his report and left first, so the old men in the duty room leisurely drank tea. One of them asked Li Shangshu, "Maoyue, is the Imperial Medical Bureau going to hire a female physician?"
Li Maoyue is the Minister of Personnel. Apart from the Imperial Medical Service, he is probably the one who knows the most about this matter.
Li Maoyue drank his tea calmly and said, "I haven't heard the report from the Imperial Hospital, so I don't know."
"If Your Majesty wishes to recruit talented individuals, Minister Han should not object. What does Duke Zhao think?"
Zhao Guogong was leisurely watching the show with his teacup in hand. When the question was thrown to him, he frowned and said, "The Imperial Hospital's affairs should naturally be decided by the Imperial Hospital. Why should I get involved in this?"
Everyone: ...Duke Zhao, wake up. The Queen is your sister and the Prince is your nephew. People are treating your sister and nephew now. Do you think it matters?
Duke Zhao certainly knew this, but he felt that it was not a very important matter. Wasn't it just a young lady going to the Imperial Hospital?
Just let her in. She has the ability anyway. It’s just an official position in the Imperial Hospital, so just give her the job.
The old gentlemen really didn't take this matter seriously, but they had nothing to say, so they brought it up.
So by the time of lunch, even the emperor knew about it.
There was no way around it. The duty room was staffed by eunuchs. Basically, most of the interesting gossip the emperor heard during the day came from the duty room.
So when the Emperor returned to Taiji Hall for lunch at noon, he asked the Empress, "Didn't you say Zhou Man didn't agree? Why did Bai Shan still take people to investigate the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
The Queen smiled and picked up a handful of mixed cabbage for him. After watching him eat it, she said, "It's not that I'm refusing so firmly. Let her think about it slowly."
The emperor shook his head and smiled, "You're being too slow. Since you want to build a women's hospital, just give the order and have the Ministry of Personnel draw up a plan for you. We can transfer the people we need from all over the country. When the time comes, give her an official seal. If she refuses, give her more money and land. After two invitations, she will definitely agree."
The Queen shook her head and smiled, "She loves money, but I think she still wants to go out and is not very willing. She has a point. I also want to think seriously about how to build a better female doctor."
The emperor nodded, no longer paying attention to this matter, and turned to talk about other things. "I went to see my mother yesterday, and she talked to me about Yunfeng's marriage. Then I remembered that our Changyu is not young anymore. Isn't it time to talk about marriage?"
The Queen nodded slightly. "Originally, we wanted to meet this year, but we were so busy this year that we postponed it. Now it just so happens that we are about to prepare for the New Year, and many of the husbands from various families are returning to the capital. I will take a look then."
The emperor nodded and said, "She will be coming of age next year. I don't think she needs to be so restrained. Let her go out and have some fun. She might find someone she likes. Oh, and let her hang out with the boys from the Han and Wei families."
The queen knew that he was interested in the Han Shangshu family and the Wei Zhi family.
Thinking that another of her daughters was going to get married, the queen sighed sadly.
The emperor didn't think so much. Even if his daughter was married, she was still his daughter. If he missed her, he would just call her back to the palace to live for a while.
See you at 8pm
