I practiced medicine in ancient times

Chapter 220: Rank 6 Medical Officer

Prince Xun was touched. He knew that his mother had always loved him. He felt guilty for not being able to accompany her often due to his illness. Now that he had recovered, he naturally wanted to spend more time with her.

So he answered respectfully, "Yes, mother. When I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely spend more time with you.

In the future, if you feel unwell, just ask Doctor Xu and Doctor Bai to see you. They are both very skilled in medicine, and are much better than the ordinary imperial doctors."

"Okay, I understand." The Queen Mother also understood what Prince Xun meant. He was looking for a backer for Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

If nothing else, just because the two of them cured Xun'er's stubborn illness, the Empress Dowager will do her utmost to protect them in the palace.

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan cured Prince Xun's stubborn illness, so Prince Xun was naturally grateful. Now that he has recovered and returned to Beijing, he also wants the two to have a good future.

.........

That afternoon, when the Emperor was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace, Cui Shan asked for a meeting and presented the list of officials in the Imperial Hospital who needed to be promoted this year to Emperor Rui'an, asking him to review it.

Only after being reviewed by Emperor Rui'an would the imperial doctors have the opportunity to be promoted.

Emperor Rui'an took the list and read it carefully. On the list, the name, achievements, and proposed promotion positions of each imperial physician were clearly written. He glanced over the list and nodded from time to time to show his satisfaction.

After reading the list, Emperor Rui'an's eyes fell on the names of Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan. Emperor Rui'an said to Cui Shan, "Is Bai Yan the one who developed penicillin?"

"To answer your Majesty's question, it belongs to this woman," Cuishan replied.

But I don’t know what the emperor meant by mentioning white smoke.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Rui'an's eyes flashed with approval. He remembered Bai Yan's name because the penicillin she developed caused quite a stir in the palace. He had heard the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital mention the effectiveness of penicillin many times. It was said that it was very effective in treating some serious infections. Now it seemed that this female doctor had made great contributions, and it was indeed a waste of her talent to confer her the eighth rank.

"I already know of Bai Yan's achievements. She is indeed a talented doctor.

Xu Qingyi won the first place in this medical competition, how good is her medical skills?" Emperor Rui'an slowly asked Cuishan.

"Xu Qingyi's medical skills are not weak. She has participated in several medical competitions, and her ranking in each competition has never been lower than the top three. She is not much worse than the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital." Although Cui Shan did not know why the emperor asked about the situation of Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, he also knew that the two of them must have done something special or said something in front of the emperor that caught his attention, otherwise the emperor would not have asked specifically.

Cui Shan only thought for a moment and then told everything he knew without suppressing or exaggerating.

"Yes." The emperor nodded slightly, and his impression of the two people became clearer. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

Cui Shan saw this and did not dare to disturb him. He just stood quietly by the side, waiting for the emperor's next instruction.

After a while, the emperor finally spoke: "These two people cured Prince Xun's impatience and insomnia, and they ranked among the top five in this medical competition. Bai Yan also made great contributions to the development of penicillin.

It is not appropriate to confer them the eighth rank or the first eighth rank. My dear, in your opinion, what official position is appropriate for them?"

Cui Shan was shocked when he heard this. He never thought that Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan could cure Prince Xun's impatience and insomnia.

Back then, he also tried to treat Prince Xun's illness, but was never able to cure it and could only provide slight relief.

Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were able to cure Prince Xun's illness, which made him admire them.

It seems that Prince Xun mentioned Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and the two of them left an impression in the minds of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, which led to what happened today.

Cui Shan took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan are both medical geniuses. Not only are they highly skilled in medicine, they also ranked among the top in the medical competition. Bai Yan also developed penicillin, which is a great contribution.

This time they cured Prince Xun's illness, which is even more remarkable. In my opinion, they can be awarded the title of seventh-rank physician to highlight their achievements."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the proposal. He pondered for a moment and said, "Seventh-rank physician, this position is suitable.

However, I think that since the two of them were able to develop a miracle drug like penicillin, their contribution to our Tianshan Kingdom is enormous. So let's confer them the title of Sixth-Rank Medical Officer!"

Cui Shan was shocked when he heard this. He knew that this was the emperor's respect for Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.

Now Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan have left an impression in front of the emperor. As long as they don't make mistakes in the future, it is only a matter of time before they rise to prominence.

In addition, they have strong medical skills and are still young. In the future, they may both take my position and there will be competition for the position of the owner of the hall.

So, Cuishan bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and signaled Cui Shan to leave.

.........

Three days later, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan had decorated their house in the capital and moved in. Now all they had to do was move to the capital so that the whole family could be together.

Xu Qingyi also sent a pigeon home to tell them that everything had been arranged and that her family was ready to set off for Beijing. In April, both the Xu and Bai families would arrive in the capital.

On this day, the official ranks of Xu Qingyi and other five people who won the top five in the medical competition were approved by the emperor. Xu Yinan brought Xu Qingyi and the other four people into the palace to familiarize themselves with the Imperial Hospital, and they would be on duty in the Imperial Hospital in the future.

“When you enter the palace in the future, you will need to wear the uniform of an imperial physician. There will be soldiers at the first gate to the palace to check your official order, which is your certificate for entering and leaving the palace.

Of course, if you are familiar with the soldiers guarding the gate, they will let you in. If you encounter unfamiliar soldiers or people you don't know entering or leaving the palace, you must be careful. The official order must be carried with you. Once it is lost or damaged, it will be regarded as illegal entry into the palace, which will cause a lot of trouble.

If your official orders are lost in the future, you must report it in time. In addition to reissuing the official orders, you must also prevent thieves from using your lost official orders to do illegal things and take the blame. "When Xu Yinan led Xu Qingyi and his party of five into the palace, he carefully explained to Xu Qingyi and his party the various rules and precautions after entering the palace. Not only did Xu Qingyi listen very carefully, the other four also nodded repeatedly.
