Chapter Respect for Medical Models

Seeing the little emperor falling into deep thought, Zheng Huchen did not dare to be alarmed, so he could only wait quietly. He knew that the action against the successors of the Mongol Yuan had been planned for nearly a year, and he participated in the whole process and was the implementer of the action. From Tie Muer coming to the court and putting a spy next to him, to provoking the conflict between the real gold and the queen, and to "release" Tie Muer at the right time, thus eliminating the strong rival of the Song Dynasty, Boyan, he naturally knew the dangers and difficulties.

Now is the moment when the melon is ripe and it is also the juncture that determines the direction of the Mongol Yuan in the future. Taking a wrong step will affect the direction of the Song Dynasty. Zheng Huchen understood that the young emperor must be cautious at this critical moment, and the pressure he was under was also extremely great. However, the matter was not done openly enough, and even a bit dirty, so he could not discuss it with other priests, and all the responsibilities fell on him.

However, Zheng Huchen strongly agreed with the little emperor's view that "you can use any means to treat the enemy". He is also a staunch supporter and executor of this. He is willing to be the little emperor's "black hand" to eliminate potential enemies for him, achieve unification of the world, and establish a fair, just, and full of food and clothing for everyone.

"Master Zheng, He Weixian is eager to make his position clear at the moment. Do you have any selfish intentions?" Zhao Bing looked up and asked after pondering for a long time.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that he has selfish intentions. He Weixian controls the palace guards and is also a close minister of the real gold. His Majesty only lets him be an isolated minister, worried that if the real gold dies, he will be unable to accommodate him. It would be better to take advantage of the power and hold the dragon's merit, then he will be favored by the new king, and at least he will be able to escape unscathed." Zheng Huchen said.

"Well, it is also human nature to consider the matter behind Zhen Jin!" Zhao Bing nodded. He knew the truth that 'he will not be punished for himself.' In order to save his life and "reputation", He Weixian was willing to surrender to himself. How could he not leave a way out for himself at the critical moment of life and death?

"Your Majesty, as far as my subordinates know, He Weixian is even more worried that he will be exposed this time and will not live the day when the new king takes office!" Zheng Huchen said with a chuckling.

"Oh, what's going on? Did anyone in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty threaten him?" Zhao Bing frowned.

"That's right!" Zheng Huchen nodded.

"Who?" Zhao Bing was a little surprised. At present, except for the Mengyuan Empress Kuokuozhen, even Brother Sang did not dare to confront He Weixian head-on. Who could make him panic and start planning his own way of retreat?

"Meng Yuan mentioned the matter of the Imperial Hospital, Xu Guozhen!" Zheng Huchen said, "Because Zhen Jin was seriously ill, Xu Guozhen was ordered to diagnose the disease. He Weixian knew that the 'Fu Shou Paste' was not a good medicine, and was worried that it would be inappropriate in it. This medicine was given by him, so he was frightened."

"A mere imperial physician makes him panic? His current status and power are far better than him. What kind of person is this!" Zhao Bing said with some amusement when he heard this.

"Haha, Your Majesty doesn't know that the doctors in the Yuan Dynasty have different status from our Song Dynasty. They not only treat people with high status, but also have high status. They can also participate in political affairs and even speak out to the Khan in person. Even the princes and nobles should be respectful to them!" Zheng Huchen stroked his beard and smiled.

"There are still such things? Tell me!" Zhao Bing immediately became interested after hearing this, leaned forward, and said with a look of scrutiny.

"In this way, let me tell you the interesting things!" Zheng Huchen smiled. He knew that if His Majesty could not figure out the reason, it would be difficult for him to make the correct decision...

Zheng Huchen was also a Jinshi and had been engaged in secret work for many years. He would inevitably learn a lot of secrets. What he is talking about now is not a secret in the Mongolian Yuan, but in modern times when news is blocked, even Zhao Bing, who likes to listen to strange and strange things, was the first time he heard about it.

The Mongolian Yuan started out as a military player. The casualties and diseases accompanied by war and the revolt made the Mongolian rulers attach great importance to medicine from the beginning and favored doctors. The largest members of the Mongolian doctors were Genghis Khan and Ogedei, both of whom had guest appearances as doctors. Mongolian general Buzhier and Han general Guo Baoyu were both hit by arrows on the battlefield, and their attending doctors were Genghis Khan.

After they were seriously injured, Genghis Khan made a quick decision to ask his subordinates to kill the cattle, throw them into the still-heat cattle belly, saving their lives. Xixia general Xie Muhuan was unfortunately hit three arrows in a row in the battle against Xi'an, and Ogedei ordered the cattle to be killed, and he saved his life with the method of keeping the cow blood warm.

Genghis Khan and Ogedei were able to aid first aid themselves and liked to absorb people with medical talents. Most of the monarchs later paid attention to recruiting and even favoring medical practitioners, forming traditions. Since the Yuan Dynasty, a group of strategic talents with both Confucianism and medicine have indeed appeared. They can become ministers, govern the country and maintain peace, retreat can become doctors, and cure diseases and save the world. A considerable number of people were initially summoned by the Yuan Dynasty monarchs with their medical skills, and gradually participated in political affairs and became favorite ministers.

Zheng Jingxian, a doctor at Ogedei, has been serving the people since Ogedei was the crown prince. He was deeply appreciated and trusted and often made suggestions on current affairs. Ogedei twice granted him land, making him richer than the princes and kings, and was rejected. He also wanted to appoint him as the prime minister, and he was above the two ministers, but was rejected. During the entire Mongolian period, there were only Han people who were so respected.

Ogedei later reused Yelu Chucai. He was the result of Zheng Jingxian, who was able to become the Shuling. He had a deep friendship with Zheng. In addition to being able to divine astrology, Yelu Chucai also had medicine. When attacking the Lingwu of Xixia, he prepared a lot of rhubarb in advance and helped many Mongolians who were not adapted to the local conditions. Therefore, he was valued by Genghis Khan and his son...

"Well, the Mongolians value practicality the most. They don't care about status, and only look at their talents!" Zhao Bing nodded. He knew that the Mongolian Yuan emperor's view on talents was very practical. The heads of the Han army who could help them cut people and grab territory were valued. Doctors who could save people and become "nanny" were also the key considerations.

During the war, whenever the city was massacred, the Mongolians would also specially select doctors, craftsmen, Confucian scholars, and diviners. The powerful and powerful in Mongolia really like compound talents. Talents who can do things and cure diseases and rescue them at critical moments are very popular with them. It is not surprising that some famous doctors can also participate in politics and become the bosses who control the political situation in Mongolia.

"Your Majesty said it is right. When Temujin fought everywhere, he collected famous doctors from all races for his own use. Among them were Han doctors such as Liu Zhonglu and Tian Anfu, and Bishop of Yelike Wenjiao. Before attacking Jin, Ogedei also issued an edict of "Luo Tianxia Medicine" and ordered famous doctors from the Central Plains to come out. As long as these people had real talents and knowledge, they would immediately be included in the account. There would be no less than 30 names and names, and these doctors were also fighting for the princes and nobles." Zheng Huchen nodded and said.

"Temujin is also a strange person. He doesn't look at the nation, but only the efficacy!" Zhao Bing chuckled after hearing this. He really admired this point. You must know that in modern China, there were still great prejudices against Western medicine, and those foreign doctors were not popular, but they were able to take them all for their own use. Among the kings of all dynasties, they were also very open-minded and courageous examples of respecting doctors.

"As Your Majesty said, because the Mongolian Yuan valued medical practitioners, some people entered the official position with medical practitioners, and eventually became high-ranking officials, and even became important officials involved in political affairs. This was not uncommon in the Yuan court. It was easier to easily be admitted to the fifth rank of officials than literati who started as a clerk. Therefore, those scholars of the Mongolian Yuan actually used this as a shortcut to enter the official position, using Confucianism to enter the medical field, and using medical practitioners to serve as doctors!" Zheng Huchen said.

"It is a good idea to be a good doctor and be an official. If I arrive in the Mongolian Yuan, I may be able to be a marquis and minister with my minor medical skills and become the first-rank official." Zhao Bing couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

In modern times, Mongolian doctors have already had a derogatory meaning. In this era, even those ruthless Mongolian people who were killing countless Mongolians respected Mongolian doctors very much. They are indeed a very difficult group to mess with. Many of us now have a much better attitude towards doctors, so we don’t have to worry about medical disputes. I’m afraid no one dares to play with them. I think if they were in the Mongolian Yuan, even if they had the status of a time traveler, they would probably not be able to escape death.

"Haha..." Zheng Huchen didn't dare to take this topic, so he could only smile and turn around, "But the Imperial Hospital of the Mongolian Yuan was indeed very high, and the first official was also the fourth rank at the worst. After the Zhenjin succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the second rank, and his level was already above the six ministries. There are many famous doctors with the third rank or above in the Yuan Dynasty, even ordinary doctors were fifth ranks in the Yuan Dynasty, and their status was much higher than those Confucian scholars. There were also 'Medical Establishment of the Three Emperors Temple and Confucian Confucius Temple', which raised medicine to the same status as Confucianism, which made those Confucian scholars have great opinions on the doctors and fierce conflicts between the two sides."

"This is the best in history, and the officialdom pays attention to protecting each other. Since these people are from doctors, they naturally cannot ignore the interests of doctors and raise their status when planning and formulating certain systems." Zhao Bing said with a smile.

At this time, he had basically understood that due to the need of war, the supreme rulers of the Mongol Yuan attached importance to medical affairs from the beginning and paid attention to requisition of doctors. Among the requisitioned doctors, there were indeed many talented people who were humble and Confucian in governing the country and ensuring national stability. A considerable number of famous masters were requisitioned as imperial physicians. They often contacted the Mongol Yuan monarchs and had the opportunity to comment on state affairs. With the expansion of the rule of the Han people in the region, the Mongol Yuan regime also needed such talents to participate in political affairs.

"Your Majesty, Xu Guozhen, who was afraid of by He Weixian, was a first-rank official hat participating in political affairs while being an imperial physician." Zheng Huchen said, "He came from a family of officials, but his ancestors and fathers knew medical principles, and he was well-versed in classics and history, and was particularly good at medical skills. Before Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he summoned him to Hanhai to take charge of medicine. Moreover, Xu's loyalty dared to advise, and was deeply trusted by Kublai Khan, and he cured his foot disease. After Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he was awarded the honorary doctor of the imperial hospital, and gave him golden talismans. Later, he was appointed as the Minister of Rites, and was appointed as the Grand Secretary of Jixian, and became the Guanglu Dafu, and his honor and favor were constantly promoted."
