Wan Zhen'er lowered her head and kept rubbing her palms together, looking a little at a loss.
Zhu Qizhen continued: "I am planning to set up a Shangyi Bureau in addition to the Sixth Bureau of the Inner Palace, and you will be the Shangyi."
Shangguan is the fifth rank, the highest rank among the female officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Generally speaking, a female official needs to start from the bottom. Excellent ones can be promoted to the seventh rank of official, chief officer, female history officer, etc., and then from the sixth rank of secretary, the sixth rank of secretary, secretary, secretary, etc., and finally
This is the true fifth-grade Shang Palace.
Wan Zhen'er now has no grades and no grades. She can directly reach the rank of official, which is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.
"My servant, thank you for your kindness, but, but..."
"But what?"
"But... this slave can only serve people, not be an official..."
"You can't learn. Who do you think will be an official by birth?"
Wan Zhen'er seemed very hesitant and said: "This slave has only seen some prescriptions and does not understand medical skills..."
"Those people in the Tai Hospital understand it, but can they rely on you at the critical moment? If I didn't have your prescription, I would have to prepare for the Queen Mother's funeral!"
When it comes to Taiyuan Hospital, Zhu Qizhen is not angry at all.
He really couldn't understand why Tangtang Taiyuan Hospital didn't know about the folk prescription that a little palace maid knew.
These people definitely don't want to cause trouble and would rather be labeled as incompetent than try something new.
Incompetence is just a scolding, and at most a fine of some salary. However, if you try new things easily, everyone will be happy if you are cured. If you are not cured, you will lose your head!
What Zhu Qizhen hated the most was this attitude of inaction, so he decided that the Taiyuan Hospital must be moved, and it must be moved in a big way!
At the same time, he also noticed Wan Zhen'er.
This woman's reputation in history is not good, but her experience must be taken into consideration.
After Tumu Fortress, Zhu Jianshen was established as the prince. As a result, Rehu was deposed before the East Palace could live in, and even his property and life could not be saved.
In that situation, everyone stayed away, and only she stayed, and Zhu Jianshen depended on each other.
Because of this, after Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, he favored only Wan Guifei. Who can blame him?
Zhu Qizhen originally thought that without the earthen fort, nothing would happen next, but he accidentally discovered that Wan Zhen'er still came to the East Palace to accompany Zhu Jianshen.
He once discussed with Empress Qian to let Wan Zhen'er work as a job in the Sixth Bureau, but he never found a suitable position.
Now that things like the Queen Mother have happened, and during this period of time, Wan Zhen'er has been taking good care of Queen Qian, and found that she is quite talented, so it would be more appropriate to set up a women's hospital.
There are six bureaus and one department in the Inner Palace of the Ming Dynasty, namely Shangyi Bureau, Shanggong Bureau, Shanggong Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangdormitan Bureau, Shangfu Bureau and Gongzhengsi Bureau.
Except for the Palace Chief Supervising Women's Discipline and the independent six bureaus, the other six bureaus lead a total of 25 departments. Each department has different functions and covers almost all the food, clothing, housing, transportation and other related functions in the palace. It is a relatively mature female official system.
.
From the Hongwu Dynasty to the Yongle Dynasty, most of the responsibilities of the harem were under the jurisdiction of the six ministers. In the Renxuan period, eunuchs gradually gained power. In the Zhengtong Dynasty, Wang Zhen dominated the sky with one hand. The power of the female officials in the harem was almost completely transferred to the eunuchs, and the palace officials listened to the surviving ones.
, only Shangbao Sisi.
After Wang Zhenfu was executed, the remaining party was liquidated, many eunuchs were implicated, and most of the functions were returned to the hands of female officials.
Don't underestimate these female officials. In the huge palace, all aspects of the emperor's and concubines' food, clothing, housing and transportation are managed in an orderly manner.
There are even some positions that even the emperor cannot interfere with.
For example, the position of Tongshi of the Shangyi Bureau is mainly responsible for recording the daily life of the palace and the affairs of the inner court.
To put it bluntly, it is to record in detail which concubines the emperor visited at what time and where, record the menstrual dates of each concubine in the harem, etc., and write this information in the "Qinlu Book", and these contents are not even allowed by the emperor.
Feel free to browse.
There are three benefits to this regulation. First, it is to increase the birth rate of princes and arrange the emperor's itinerary based on records. Second, it is to predict the delivery date of pregnant concubines and ensure the purity of the royal bloodline.
The third is to constrain your behavior.
There is no plowed land in the world, only exhausted oxen. The emperor is also a human being!
Just like when Zhu Youtang was born in later generations, because Concubine Wan Gui covered the sky with one hand, she hid in the harem for six years and did not dare to see anyone. How could he prove his identity?
This kind of thing is easy to say. I took out the imperial record book and checked it, and it was right!
Zhu Qizhen planned to establish a women's hospital. On the one hand, he wanted to put pressure on Taiyuan Hospital, and on the other hand, he wanted to pass on the medical knowledge he had mastered.
"I also remember some medical prescriptions. I will have to discuss them with you when the time comes. This is all for later. What you have to do now is to set up a women's hospital. I will ask Wynn to find a public house for you. You
I want to make this women’s hospital beautiful for me!”
Wan Zhen'er leaned down and bowed down, saying, "My servant, thank you for your great love. I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Zhu Qizhen said calmly: "From now on, it is no longer appropriate to call yourself a slave. You should call yourself a minister."
Wan Zhen'er only felt a tremor all over her body, and then said cautiously: "I, I... obey the order!"
"The staff of the women's hospital can be selected from the harem, or from the private sector. I have only one request. We must not stick to the rules. We must not discard the folk prescriptions at will, nor blindly trust them. We must find a way to verify their authenticity, no matter what.
Medicinal materials and folk remedies are good as long as they can cure diseases and save lives!"
"Yes, slave... I obey your order!"
Zhu Qizhen gave some more instructions, Wan Zhen'er couldn't help nodding in agreement, and finally stood up to leave with great excitement.
Queen Qian just watched silently without interrupting.
Seeing Wan Zhen'er leaving, she said: "Zhen'er is a smart person and will definitely be able to build a women's hospital."
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "If you want to do something well, intelligence alone is not enough."
"What does the emperor mean?"
"If I want to attack the imperial hospital, I will definitely offend a lot of people. Those people have been officials for generations and have accumulated a lot of connections in the court. I wonder if this change will cause any trouble."
"I heard that the emperor handed over this matter to Yu Shangshu. With Yu Shangshu's character, he will definitely overcome many obstacles..."
"not enough!"
Zhu Qizhen thought of the book Wan Zhen'er brought and said thoughtfully: "You still need someone to sit in the middle!"
Queen Qian asked in confusion: "Isn't it enough for the Emperor to personally take charge?"
"Ah!"
Zhu Qizhen chuckled lightly and said: "This kind of thing is not worthy of my personal supervision, but there is a person who is quite suitable."
"Since there is a suitable person, we should summon him to the palace as soon as possible and wait for dispatch."
"I have to check tomorrow to see where this person has gone..."
