After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

"In this case, why are there so few female doctors in the Zhou Dynasty? Is it possible that women don't feel pain, scream, or speak when they are sick? You have mothers, daughters, and wives. How can you bear to have them grind your teeth when they are sick? Bear it?"

The words left everyone speechless!

Qiu Juniang couldn't help but feel so happy when she saw how miserable these people were!

Xu Zhenying knew that there would be no way to change their understanding of gender equality for a while. There was implicit discrimination in modern times, let alone the Zhou Dynasty where productivity was insufficient a thousand years ago?

Equality between men and women has a long way to go, and it will take more than a day, a month, or a year to move this mountain of prejudice in people's hearts.

So she simply stopped singing high-key and directly stated the most touching condition, "Not only that. In my territory, Lan County, I allow you to perform autopsies on the bodies of death row prisoners!"

"what?!"

This time, almost everyone's expressions changed, including Dr. He's.

The main reasons for the underdevelopment of surgery in ancient times were, first, insufficient conditions, and second, strict laws.

Especially for dead people, even serious criminals, their bodies should be buried in the ground. If one dissects a corpse without authorization, it is a crime of insulting the corpse, which is only slightly less serious than treason.

Xu Zhenying was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, "Since the purpose of medicine is to treat diseases and save people, if you don't fully understand the human body, you don't know where the five organs are in the body, what they look like, and how they work, how can you pursue medical skills?" Progress and breakthrough?"

The whole place was deathly silent.

Xu Zhenying continued: "I can promise that within my jurisdiction, Xu Zhenying, you have the right to dissect death row prisoners. However, considering the folk customs, this matter can only be done in secret, and you must sew the corpse completely after the dissection. Synthesize the original!”

I took the opportunity to practice my surgical suturing skills again, it was perfect!

There was a surgeon in this room, and he was so excited at this moment that he ignored him and said, "But if you leave, or if the imperial court sends troops to kill you, won't we people still have to suffer?"

As soon as these words came out, someone next to the man immediately glared at him.

He also belatedly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned pale all of a sudden. He was so anxious that sweat was rolling down his face. He stammered and explained: "City Lord... I didn't mean that... you... you... "

Xu Zhenying laughed nonchalantly, "You won't be punished for your words here, so you don't have to be nervous. Since you are worried about this, I can keep it more confidential and only these people in this room know. And I also You can send people to arrest you, so that you can hide the truth from others, and even if I am not in Lan County in the future, you can blame it all on me."

This statement made Doctor He's eyelids twitch slightly.

This guy...has such a broad mind...such a big ambition!

How could these be rogues? They were clearly a thousand times more powerful than the regular army!

"Besides, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and the future development of medicine all depends on it. You..." Xu Zhenying looked around, she smiled softly, but her voice was full of confusion, "You don't want to be The one who changed history?”

Xu Yinxi was listening next to him, with a slight curl of the corners of his lips.

This sixth sister——

Every time she wants someone to board a pirate ship, she always has to draw a big pie. The word "big pie" is often mentioned in Xu Zhenying's mouth. She said that the pie must be big enough to attract useful talents.

Look at the people in this room. Just now they were saying "women cannot practice medicine" with righteous faces, but in the next moment they started asking about the medical building.

It can be seen that Xu Zhenying is absolutely right. There are no hostile classes, only common interests.

While Xu Yinxi carefully observed the game between the two parties, he was reflecting on himself.

What would you do if you were yourself?

He must have been dissatisfied when the other party said "women cannot practice medicine", and even argued tit for tat in an attempt to convince the other party. But in that case, the two parties will only fall into a quarrel, which will not help advance the development of medicine.

The road to equality between men and women is so long. How could the two opposing camps change with just a few words?

Instead of wasting your breath on arguments, it is better to find common interests, temporarily let the other party put aside their prejudices, and seek cooperation together.

Xu Yinxi had to admire Xu Zhenying's methods.

She is so calm, even from the perspective of a bystander, Xu Zhenying's calmness reaches a cold level.

Xu Yinxi had already noticed it, and everyone present was moved. Including the radicals who initially argued with Qiu Juniang.

As a woman, Qiu Juniang was naturally the first to express her position, "City Lord, as long as you don't dislike my mediocre medical skills, I, Qiu Juniang, am willing to be a specially appointed professor of the medical school without any restrictions."

Xu Zhenying patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her with a smile: "Sister Ju Niang is so humble. How can you say that your medical skills are mediocre? Your gynecology is well-known in Lan County. Not only your medical skills, you also treat patients equally, no matter they are those in Fireworks Willow Alley The poor women in the village, or the old ladies in the countryside who have not been to the city for decades, you meet people who have no money, and you still give them medicinal materials to treat their illnesses. The people of Lan County all see it."

There were several male doctors nearby who looked ashamed.

A few seemed to be dismissive.

Qiu Ju Niang's eyes were slightly red, "We are all women, and living in this world is not easy. When things happen, naturally we can help."

"Sister Ju Niang is right. Our medical school is in need of a doctor with both medical skills and ethics like you as a teacher. Don't mention Shu Xiu again. You have worked hard and you deserve this. And If you don’t stop Xiu, there are other doctors whose families are poor and need this money. Wouldn’t you make it difficult for them? So I treat everyone equally, and all teachers must be paid according to the class hours.”

Qiu Juniang seemed not to have thought of this, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

No wonder her husband often said that she was as upright as a child.

"Oh, by the way..." Xu Zhenying looked around again with a smile, and then said to Qiu Juniang, "There happened to be a serious criminal sentenced to death in the past few days. We don't have many people in Lan County, so it's hard to find a body. Since there happens to be one, then the rule is first come, first served. Qiu Ju Niang expresses her position first, then you can go see this corpse first."

This was so remarkable that everyone who had been hesitating just now became anxious, "Hey, hey, city lord, wait a minute, we haven't spoken yet! You have done a great job in building this medical school. As doctors, what can we do?" Can you not cooperate? It is an honor for me to teach in your institute!"

"That's right. This is a great opportunity for medical exchanges. The city lord has to take us with him!"

"City Lord, a corpse can be viewed by one person or two people. Please show mercy and let us go and observe it."

Xu Zhenying couldn't help laughing in his heart.

In modern medical schools, most teachers have to grab it themselves, let alone ancient times.

As a doctor, no one wants to understand the structure of the human body.

Now that Xu Zhenying's mouth was loosened, these doctors immediately pounced on him like a pack of wolves seeing meat. How could they still remember those categorical words they said before?

Xu Zhenying stood up, and Xu Yinxi beside him also stood up immediately.

Xu Zhenying raised the tea cup high and said with a smile: "In that case, on behalf of the fifteen thousand people of Lan County, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you all. Your great achievements will surely be remembered forever in the future!"

Everyone clinked glasses to signify success.

Xu Zhenying had not touched any alcohol, and it was already dark after finishing this work.

Although the gates of Lan County are now closed, except for important supplies that can come in from the west city gate, most people's lives have not been affected.

Moreover, Xu Zhenying canceled the curfew. Although it was getting late, pedestrians could still be seen on the road.

It looked a bit more lively than before.

Xu Zhenying and Xu Yinxi walked out side by side, while Jiang Yongkang followed behind to protect their safety.

Xu Yinxi reported to Xu Zhenying the gossip she had just heard at the banquet and the information she had inquired about, "City Lord, Qiu Ju Niang was in court for poisoning her husband. The doctors in Lan County were unwilling to testify for her. Mr. Sun It took more than a dozen doctors from Ye County to prove her innocence. Now it seems that although the main reason is that the doctors in Lan County worked together to eliminate dissidents, there are also reasons for Qiu Juniang herself. "

Xu Zhenying raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"Qiu Juniang actually comes from a medical family. Her father is a doctor in Jinzhou Prefecture. She has been influenced by her ears and eyes since she was a child, and she has great interest in studying medicine. However, her father saw that she was a woman and refused to pass on her medical skills. He married her early in the hope that she would be more stable. However, her husband was very supportive of her studying medicine and taught her how to treat illnesses and save people. She has extensive research on gynecological diseases, so she is very popular among women in Lan County. She has a certain reputation. It is said that Mr. Sun’s wives have all seen her for medical treatment.”

"However, she has a weird temper and is not sociable. She only focuses on studying medicine. Except for patients, she hardly interacts with others. It is said that her husband was seriously ill at the time, and other doctors did not dare to prescribe medicine, but she dared. It's just that As a result...her husband still passed away. Therefore, her husband's family insisted that she had killed her husband, so they kicked her out of the house while her husband's body was still cold. She went to Jinzhou to seek refuge with her father, but her father listened After talking about this matter, she also believed that a woman should not practice medicine in public. Qiu Juniang was high-spirited and did not want to rely on others, so she returned to Lan County and made a living by picking up some patients. Her life was not good. "

Xu Zhenying asked Xu Yinxi: "Why do you think Qiu Juniang is disliked by everyone because she has her own reasons?"

Xu Yinxi was startled by her question, and then answered, "I just think...Qiu Juniang's temper is too tough, and she is easily broken. Sometimes if she is more tactful, the outcome of things may be different."

Xu Zhenying shook his head, "If there is a male doctor who has good medical skills and good medical ethics, but has a bad temper, how do you think people around him will evaluate him?"

Xu Yinxi was stunned and her mind went blank for a few seconds.

Xu Zhenying said with a smile: "You see, people in this world always have two sets of standards for men and women. In the same position, women always have to do better."

Xu Yinxi was at a loss. She felt extremely ashamed after being prompted like this.

"Qiu Ju Niang has good medical skills, good nature, loves medicine, and is righteous." Xu Zhenying patted Xu Yinxi's shoulder and said sincerely, "This world cannot always require girls to be perfect. It must be able to accommodate girls' shortcomings."

Xu Yinxi's face turned red.      is ashamed.

In vain, she felt that she was already ahead of the road of equality between men and women, but when something happened, her thoughts were still the habitual male thinking.

She had made such a big mistake.

Xu Yinxi lowered her head, her mind a little confused, and kept thinking about what Xu Zhenying said.

Leng Buding saw Xu Zhenying stop.

Xu Zhenying stood by the river. Catkins were flying and falling on the river, illuminating the remaining lamps on both sides of the road.

She looked so fascinated.

The wind blew gently around her, blowing a strand of hair on her forehead.

There was some watery blur in the girl's eyes.

Xu Yinxi couldn't help but ask: "City Lord, what are you looking at?"

Xu Zhenying asked in a daze: "Fourth sister, do you think she...will she feel cold at the bottom of the river?"

Xu Yinxi's face paled slightly.

That name suddenly came to mind.

——Li Zhaodi.

The girl who was a little timid and timid, the girl who was always frightened like a quail, the girl who finally dared to jump into the river.

How long has it been since then? The old friend’s voice and smile are almost blurred.

Xu Yinxi wanted to open her mouth to say something, but the person beside her had already turned around.

A cold breeze blew.

Xu Yinxi suddenly felt a little cold.

Xu Zhenying originally wanted to visit Mr. Fang tonight, but when the carriage drove to the door of Fang's house, he saw darkness inside the house.

Everyone in the Fang family has already rested.

Naturally, Xu Zhenying couldn't be bothered, so he could only visit early tomorrow morning.

Xu Zhenying was sitting in the carriage. She was lying sideways, holding her chin in one hand and half-squinting her eyes. The curtains were slightly opened, and the spring breeze blew in. It was still a little cold, but also brought a touch of freshness.

Jiang Yongkang accompanied him on horseback.

Jiang Yongkang seemed to have something to say to her, but she kept her eyes closed until she reached the door of Xu's house.

Xu Zhenying is too tired.

Jiang Yongkang was naturally the one who knew how tired she was.

Xu Zhenying's day is full, starting from morning exercises in the morning, discussing political affairs for a long time in the morning, just having a quick bite of lunch, inspecting standardized agriculture in the afternoon, and socializing in the evening.

Even after returning home, according to her temperament, she would probably have to ask Qian Zhenniang about the status of the craftsmen today.

She is like a spinning top that is always spinning.

Externally, she is always in high spirits.

It seems that no matter how many swords, swords, and verbal battles, she doesn't care and maintains extremely high concentration at all times.

But as soon as she relaxed, Jiang Yongkang would see her looking down with tired eyes.

Jiang Yongkang dismounted and lifted the car curtain for her, and saw that she was fast asleep inside.

Jiang Yongkang hesitated for a moment, and was about to reach out to touch the man, but Xu Zhenying opened his eyes as cold as snow.

Seeing Jiang Yongkang's expression, Xu Zhenying smiled first, "Tell me, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It was a bad thing for the Zhou Dynasty, but it was a good thing for us."

Xu Zhenying became interested now, "But is there any news from the court?"

"Prince Duan led 50,000 cavalry to Beijing. When he went to court, he directly chopped off Zhu Ci's head."

Oh, so exciting?

Xu Zhenying was no longer sleepy now, and her eyes were full of gossip.

"Then he said that the young emperor was not the father of the late emperor, and he also produced his daily life notes and witnesses. It turned out that the old emperor had been damaged by taking elixirs all year round and was no longer able to have children. In order to preserve their status, the Zhu family let Empress Zhu had an affair with a guard."

"The secrets of the royal family." Xu Zhenying smiled slyly, and there was even a hint of agitation in his eyes, "I'm afraid the court is going to be in chaos. What about the guards?"

"The guard had already taken precautions back then, and even managed to save his life from the Zhu family's dragnet. Later, by chance, he was used by Prince Duan."

by chance?

Xu Zhenying smiled and said nothing.

"Now that the evidence of Empress Zhu's crime is conclusive, she has been executed overnight. While the ministers are still discussing how to deal with the matter, a fire fell from the sky where the little emperor lived, and it was completely burned. It is said... that they finally found a sentence in it The corpse is similar in age and figure to that of the little emperor."

Xu Zhenying was really shocked this time, "The little emperor died like this?"

"Right now, the officials have no other options. Prince Duan is acting too viciously and leaves no room for error."

Xu Zhenying was a little gloating, "It's really lively this time. The emperor only has one son left, Prince Ming. But this son is still rebelling. I remember Prince Duan seems to be the younger brother of the previous emperor, right? Who will be promoted to the throne now? It’s all inappropriate.”

Xu Zhenying laughed so loudly, "If Prince Ming moves slower and doesn't rush to use the name of the Fang family to rebel, he might be the heir with pure blood now."

Jiang Yongkang also smiled sarcastically, "That's right. Now the people in the court are divided into two factions. One faction advocates Prince Duan's succession, and the other advocates Prince Ming's succession. The two groups have to fight hundreds of rounds in front of the palace every day. I heard that there are still A full martial arts performance was performed.”

"What about Prince Duan? What's his attitude?"

"He stayed at home. It is said that he was eating fast in the house, chanting Buddha's name, and concentrating on the mountains and rivers."

Xu Zhenying smiled, "It's interesting. The biggest problem has been solved, and the rest is for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals below to take action. At this moment, he is not moving as much as he is still. He is barely a figure. But now the other lords of the road are probably sitting there. I can’t stand it anymore, especially Prince Ming.”

Jiang Yongkang deeply admired Xu Zhenying's sensitivity to the general trend of the court.

"We are leaderless. I'm afraid this fight will last for a year and a half. If this happens, the government will be empty, and the Chen Dynasty will be eyeing us. I'm afraid it won't be good."

Jiang Yongkang said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Why is there no smile on the city lord's face?"

Xu Zhenying sighed, "I'm just afraid that if this happens, I don't know how many people will be implicated. Seeing that troubled times are about to begin, who will care about these ants."

Jiang Yongkang was silent.

Fortunately, Xu Zhenying added: "However, there is no way. War is so cruel. How can we rebuild a world without bloody overthrowing it?"

Jiang Yongkang's eyes lit up, "City Lord, what should we do next?"
