Chapter 1610 Zhuguo
After sitting down, Sun Simiao said: "The development of a medicine to cure malaria this time is not the result of the veteran alone. Without Fang Erlang's reminder, no one would have known that such a disaster that has happened through the ages could actually be cured by a mere plant of Artemisia annua. eradicated ...The old Taoist also knows the truth that "when poison appears, there must be an antidote within seven steps." The more seemingly huge a problem, the simpler the solution may be. That’s it.”
Fang Jun secretly gave Lao Sun a thumbs up. He was so loyal that he did not forget to say good things to himself at this time...
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er said disapprovingly: "What the Taoist said is ridiculous. Fang Jun's second son is a stick. In the past, he randomly deleted the first aid regulations in the army. If it hadn't caused casualties to the soldiers, you would have thought that I would have spared him." ? You obviously haven’t read a few medical books, and you dare to do such a big thing. How brave is it? God! This time, I don’t know where I heard that Artemisia annua has a magical effect in treating malaria. The blind cat hit the mouse. Fortunately, the Taoist master’s medical skills and the blessing of heaven were able to solve this stubborn disease that has been raging for thousands of years. Otherwise, I will definitely punish him for his stubbornness, and there will be absolutely no reward.”
Fang Jun, who was sitting next to me, heard this and almost couldn't hold in his breath...
Have I never read a medical book?
Okay, even if that's the case, can the modern medical experiences in my mind come from later generations, can you, the ignorant ancients, actually understand them?
I have never read any medical skills, but the emergency treatment plan for the military that I came up with is still better than yours?
No one has ever reminded you that Artemisia annua can cure malaria. It will take at least a thousand years for you to figure it out on your own!
Co-writing has nothing to do with me now, right?
How unreasonable!
It's like killing the donkey to remove the mill...
What kind of person is Sun Simiao? He has already become a master of life, and no one can deny Fang Jun's achievements, but the emperor had to say this, and he must have other intentions. Although he admired Fang Jun's intellectual talent very much, he was not willing to get involved in politics.
Moreover, according to the emperor's trust and respect for Fang Jun, he would not deny meritorious service...
Sun Simiao smiled calmly and did not take the issue.
"The Taoist priest returns to Beijing this time. I wonder when he will travel far again?"
His Majesty Li Er asked rather reluctantly.
Everyone knows that Sun Simiao always traveled around the world with no fixed whereabouts, collecting ancient folk prescriptions, tasting herbs from all over the world, and hanging pots to help people and save lives. There was never a place where he could stay for a long time.
But who can be without selfish motives? The more valuable your life is, the more you fear death. His Majesty Li Er is rich all over the world, so naturally he is also afraid of death. Especially in the past two years, he has gradually felt that he has been suffering from low energy, headaches and palpitations. Stay in Chang'an so that you can save your life if necessary...
But he also knew that Sun Simiao had great ambitions in his life. Even the supreme emperor might not be able to keep him by his side. Even if he was forced to stay, how could he do his best if he was unwilling to do so?
What's more, now that Sun Simiao has successfully developed a medicine to treat malaria, countless living people have become Buddhists, and his prestige has already spread throughout the world. Even if he, the emperor, wants to stay, if the news gets out, his reputation will be destroyed...< br>
However, it is precisely because Fang Jun suggested that Artemisia annua can treat malaria that he can enjoy the merits of being a famous person in history. It would not be a bad idea to help him appropriately.
Sun Simiao said with a smile: "The old Taoist is getting old, and his legs and feet are not as convenient as before. He has gradually become tired of traveling through mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping in the open air. Therefore, when he comes back this time, he plans to stay in Guanzhong. Previously, Erlang said that the newly built academy will open a medical department. , inviting experienced Taoists to teach After some thought, the veteran thought that it would be good to settle down. On the one hand, he could teach students to popularize medicine, and on the other hand, he could calm down and summarize what he had learned over the years and compile it into a book so that it could be passed on to future generations, which could be regarded as a tribute to the way of medicine. Meager strength.”
"Oh my! This is so good!"
His Majesty Li Er was immediately overjoyed, and held Sun Simiao's hand affectionately. Long Yan said happily: "That's right! The Taoist priest's medical skills are unparalleled in the world. If he can't write a book and immortalize his medical skills, wouldn't it be a waste of resources? Haha, Fang Jun, this kid It’s a good idea! Don’t worry, Taoist Priest, as long as the medical department of the college is established, I will entrust you with the post of Taoist Priest and lead the world’s medicine!”
How could he not be happy to have such a "god of medicine" who can almost live to death with human flesh and bones stay in Chang'an, which is equivalent to giving him an extra guarantee for his life?
I felt happy in my heart, thinking that Fang Jun had done a great job and that the medical department was well established. Otherwise, without this sycamore tree, how could we have attracted Sun Simiao, the golden phoenix?
The suppressive heart that had just risen in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he said to Fang Jun and Yan Yue: "Although Taoist Sun is responsible for this matter, Erlang also contributed a lot, so I will reward you with the honor of Zhuguo. But you are a young man, and you must Beware of arrogance and impetuosity, keep moving forward, and don’t betray my trust and cultivation in you!”
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stood up and saluted, feeling ecstatic in his heart: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I will definitely remember Your Majesty's teachings today, devote myself to it, and die for me!"
Jue is a title bestowed on nobles or meritorious officials. It is a title that expresses social status and treatment.
The origin of titles is very early. "Book of Rites: Kingship" states: "The king's title system consists of five levels: duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male." Of course, with the changes in the past dynasties, the levels of titles have also undergone certain changes. By the Tang Dynasty, Generations and titles are divided into nine levels: king, king, heir, duke, founding county duke, founding county duke, founding county duke, founding county marquis, founding county uncle, founding county son, and founding county male.
The title is linked to the rank. For example, the "king" in the Tang Dynasty was the first rank, and the male in Kaiguo County was the fifth rank.
Each noble has a corresponding food estate, which is a treatment not found in other ranks.
Xun is a title awarded to those who have meritorious service, and has no actual position.
This title originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was first called Sanguan. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Xunguan.
In this case, does it mean that "honor" is not as important as title and official position?
Absolutely not!
Most of the "honours" are awarded to military attaches with military merit, who can be promoted upwards, which is called "transfer". Xun is also linked to quality. In the Sui Dynasty, there were eleven levels of honors, and in the Tang Dynasty, there were twelve levels, or "twelve ranks." The highest rank was twelve ranks, and the title was "Shangzhu Kingdom," which is equivalent to the second rank. A slightly lower level is the "Zhuguo", which is equivalent to the second level.
"Xun" is equivalent to the "military rank" of later generations of troops, and is a rank mark that is decoupled from the position.
"Shangzhuguo" is basically equivalent to a marshal, and "Zhuguo" is a general...
This is already the only high-level person in the army!
Before, his position as General of Youtun Camp was regarded as a high-end position, that is, he "enjoyed the treatment of a general", but now he is worthy of the name.
It should be noted that Qiu Xinggong is still just a "Zhuguo"...
But Fang Jun also knew that after the Zhenguan Dynasty, it was no longer possible for him to be promoted to a higher position.
As an emperor, the use of ministers must also be strategic. Before Sun Simiao spoke, His Majesty Li Er's original intention was to suppress Fang Jun. He reused Fang Jun, but he also hoped to leave Fang Jun to his successor, so Even if Fang Jun has great achievements now, it is impossible for him to be promoted to the title of Duke of the Kingdom or Shangzhu Kingdom in one step.
Otherwise, when his successor takes over, how will he be rewarded by Fang Jun?
The emperor's display of his attitude is nothing more than a reward for his ministers. If Fang Jun is already the Duke of the State and Shangzhu Kingdom by then, how do you ask the emperor to grant it?
Create a prince?
That is absolutely not possible...
Fang Jun understood that His Majesty Li Er should properly intend to reward him with this rank of "Pillar Kingdom" after the victory in the Eastern Expedition. But today, it was obvious that because Sun Simiao stated that he would stay in Guanzhong and enter the college to teach medicine, the emperor was very happy. special rewards.
Probably even if I have outstanding military exploits during the Eastern Expedition, apart from generous gifts of money and materials, that's all...
But who would worry about being promoted too early?
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun's gleeful expression and felt a little unhappy. He frowned and said to Sun Simiao: "This guy is the most shallow person. He is a fan of officials. When he asked me for an official position like a stupid young man, it was simply Shameless.”
Sun Simiao looked at Fang Jun with a smile and thought to himself, since you are a stick, why do you put so much trust in him? Even though you get into trouble all day long, I still don’t see you really determined to clean things up...
"I don't agree with your majesty's words. The energy of a young man can break mountains and rocks, penetrate the sun and the moon. Our Tang Dynasty is now prosperous and sweeping across the world. We are in need of newborn calves like Erlang to march forward bravely for your majesty and make great achievements that will last forever. Ambition and great achievements! ”
These words made His Majesty Li Er smile and feel happy!
Fang Jun squinted at Sun Simiao, his heart filled with contempt.
I thought that you, a worldly master with an immortal demeanor and a dew-drinking dew, are all pure and upright demi-celestial beings. Who knows, but you are also a worldly person? How can you coax this emperor? She grinned from ear to ear, her emotional intelligence was so high... (End of chapter)
