Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"Well, that's good. It's a benevolent policy, and it will make all officials remember the good things of the royal family."

Zhang Xin thought it was very good.

The more emergency arrangements the better.

Express delivery shops are also readily available.

When she and Zhu Gaochi were planning it, she really didn't know that the express delivery shop could be used in this way.

"Send officials to investigate the people's welfare and ills. Strictly prohibit extrajudicial punishment. These two things are old news. Do you still want to hear it, mother?"

Tang Sai'er turned to the last page and asked.

"That's enough. It's a commonplace, but it's hard to stop. From now on, how to deal with these things depends on you and Zhanji helping your father."

Zhang Xin is well aware of the saying that where there are policies from above, there are countermeasures from below.

Every year, corrupt officials are killed and bad policies are eliminated, but every year there are still people who commit crimes in defiance of the law.

However, my energy is limited.

She wasn't sure how much time she had left.

There are still some problems in the court that cannot be solved, and they can only be solved by the living.

"Mom, it's not Zhanji's turn to be with me yet. You and Dad will be back soon."

Tang Sai'er also knew about Zhang Xin's eye problem, but she always felt that Zhang Xin did not look like she was dying, so she was still very optimistic.

"It's better to be prepared. After your father and I are gone, you and Zhan Ji should spend more time with your grandparents."

Zhang Xin didn't say anything discouraging, but just reminded Tang Sai'er again to spend more time with the elderly.

After all, as a royal family, they are the most noble family in the world.

But in terms of family happiness, there is always a lack.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui understood after they grew a few years older.

So I chose to drift on the sea all year round.

Later, Zhu Gaochi was made the crown prince, and Zhu Zhanji was made the crown prince.

The two of them officially took their wives and children to their fiefdoms, and they only returned to Beijing once or twice a year at most.

Wei, Guo and their children almost always stayed in the fiefdom.

The same went for the princesses. The two younger ones got married and had children in the capital and did not follow them. The two older ones also went to the capital at the beginning, but later helped to manage various affairs and could not come back.

Before Zhu Di ascended the throne, the family could still gather together.

Now, that's unlikely.

Whenever Xu mentioned it, she would feel melancholy.

"Yes, mother, we go there every day."

Tang Sai'er agreed readily.

"Your father is anxious to take me to see a doctor. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back when you give birth. When the time comes, remember to tell your grandmother to ask someone from your mother's family to accompany you. Don't hide what you want to eat or drink."

Zhang Xin remembered another thing.

"Yes, mother, grandma also told me to just mention it whenever I want my mother to come, even now. She also said that we don't keep silent in our family, so we should just say what we need to say, just like we did when we were young."

Tang Sai'er laughed again.

Xu and Zhang Xin said the same thing. Zhu Zhanji also said it.

Zhu Zhanji put it more bluntly.

What this means is that the men in the Zhu family actually like lively women, including the late emperor.

Back then, Empress Ma was often known to roar like a lioness, but now Empress Xu can take anything she wants.

Zhang Xin looks weak, but he only looks weak. In fact, he dares to beat his father. He is smart, has a first-class ability to make money, and is very familiar with the court affairs.

No matter which of these three women you pick out, they all have distinct and angular personalities.

Whether it is my great-grandfather, my grandfather or my father, I love them all so much.

In order to ensure that the incompetent Zhu Yunwen could secure the throne, the late emperor selected virtuous and kind people from the common people for his princes and grandchildren. This way, none of them had the support of their wives' families and thus no possibility of rebellion.

In order to allow Zhu Yunwen's Ma to take over the harem smoothly, the late queen also laid out all the rules and regulations of the harem clearly.

The current situation is very different from that of the previous emperor.

Therefore, Tang Sai'er should just be herself and not force herself to act respectful and kind.

I can only add a few words here.

Gua, I'm so sorry!

[Small Science - About the Imperial Hospital of the Ming Dynasty]

The Ming Dynasty was the last unified dynasty in the Central Plains established by the Han people in Chinese history. In terms of medicine, it was also one of the peak eras of the development of ancient Chinese medicine.

Especially from the perspective of the department settings of the Imperial Medical Service of the Ming Dynasty.

There are thirteen categories in total, including general pulse diagnosis, minor pulse diagnosis, women, sores, acupuncture, eyes, mouth, throat, typhoid fever, bone setting, gold arrowheads, massage, and incantations.

Basically, it is very close to a modern hospital.

Da Fangmai = Internal Medicine; Xiao Fangmai = Pediatrics; Women = Gynecology; Typhoid = Infectious Diseases;

Oral, pharyngeal, ophthalmic = dentistry, laryngology, ophthalmology;

Ulcers, bone setting, gold arrowheads = general surgery, orthopedics, war injuries;

Zhuyou is roughly equivalent to psychology.

Acupuncture and massage are the same as their modern names;

Note: These thirteen subjects were later changed to nine subjects during the Qing Dynasty.

The Imperial Medical Service in the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty was located in the same place, near the Daming Gate (Daqing Gate).

The Imperial Medical Service was nominally the highest medical management agency in the country during the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, its main job was to provide medical services to the emperor's family, which was a pure "imperial hospital."

In other words, the entire Imperial Medical Service was a private medical team serving the royal family.

Many medical affairs outside the palace were managed by local authorities.

Therefore, the Imperial Medical Office did not play much of a leading role in the development of medicine during the entire Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, nor did it provide much support for the development of medicine outside the palace.

A digression:

[Comparatively speaking, the leading role played by the Imperial Medical Bureau during the Tang and Song dynasties was very significant.]

The Imperial Medical Bureau during the Tang and Song dynasties was not only responsible for the health of the royal family and important ministers, but also for the training of a new generation of doctors and the compilation and revision of medical textbooks.

The medical textbooks mentioned here mainly refer to the classic works of traditional Chinese medicine from all dynasties.

For example, the four classic works of traditional Chinese medicine are known as: "Huangdi Neijing", "Nanjing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", and "Shennong's Herbal Classic".

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the Imperial Medical Service had both internal and external functions.

It serves as the royal exclusive hospital internally and as the maker and manager of the national medical system externally.

Therefore, throughout the Tang and Song dynasties, medicine developed very rapidly and produced many talented people.

For example, the most famous imperial physician in the Ming Dynasty was Liu Wentai, who caused the deaths of two emperors because he prescribed the wrong medicine.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was Sun Simiao, who was known as the King of Medicine.

Back to the topic.

About the Imperial Medical Service of the Ming Dynasty.

【Staffing and rank】

The last ones to come are: Yuanshi, Yuanpan, Tongzhi, Dianbu, etc. Yuanshi is of the third rank, Yuanpan is of the fifth rank, Tongzhi is of the fourth rank, Dianbu is of the seventh rank.

Later, the positions were changed to four: Imperial Physician Chief, Prime Minister, Clerk, and Imperial Physician.

In the 22nd year of Hongwu, the Imperial Medical Service was positioned as a fifth-rank department, ordinary imperial physicians were eighth-rank, and clerks were ninth-rank. This system continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

【Responsibilities】

Daily medical consultation in the palace + accompanying the emperor on tours and expeditions + providing important post-disaster support.

In addition, the prince's palace, the prince's palace and the Huitong Palace for receiving foreign guests all had medical officers.

When local areas discover difficult diseases, they will request assistance from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

【Subordinate Institutions】

Imperial Pharmacy - mainly responsible for supervising the preparation of prescriptions.

When decocting and preparing medicine, the imperial physician and eunuchs had to supervise together. After the medicine was ready, each dose was divided into two doses.

One dose would first be tasted by the imperial physician, the court judge, and the eunuch. Only after they confirmed no problems would the other dose be presented to the emperor. The entire process would be recorded in detail for future reference.

If the emperor's treatment is ineffective, those involved will be held accountable and may even be demoted or severely punished.
