In fact, Li Zexuan wasn't the only person he wanted to poach. He wanted to poach a few other people as well. Previously, he had mentioned in the imperial court that he wanted to establish a medical school in Yanhuang College. This wasn't something he said on the spur of the moment. He truly wanted to contribute to the development of Tang Dynasty's medical science, not only for others, but also for himself.
As the saying went, how could people not get sick after eating grains? He had a strong internal energy, so he wasn't worried about getting sick. However, what about his family? What if they got an incurable disease? What could he do with his half-baked medical skills? Sun Simiao had great medical skills, but how could he be in Chang 'an every day?
Therefore, Li Zexuan had to push the development of Tang Dynasty's medical science on the right track, even if it was for the sake of his family's health and longevity.
The cholera incident had given him a huge warning. Just think about it. If he didn't happen to know a few prescriptions for cholera, Chang 'an might have been hit by a large-scale cholera outbreak. As the saying went, when the nest was overturned, no egg would remain unbroken. When that time came, how would their family be able to stay in one corner of the country?
The only way was to develop medical science and establish a medical school.
However, establishing a medical school required a large number of medical-related talents. That was why Li Zexuan had made a request to Li Er in the imperial court. He wanted the Imperial Physician Bureau to help Yanhuang College train medical students.
Of course, it was not a bad idea to poach a few imperial physicians with excellent medical skills and noble medical ethics into the Yanhuang Academy during the process of nurturing them!
The moon viewing event lasted until around nine in the morning. When they were about to leave Yanhuang College, a group of military officials asked Li Zexuan if the telescope could be used in the military. After Li Zexuan gave a positive answer, the military officials requested Li Er to ban the telescope manufacturing technology in Yanhuang College and put it on the list of prohibited weapons. Only Tang Dynasty's fourth-rank generals and above had the right to own it.
Reality had proven that none of these bigwigs who had been able to make it to their current positions in the Imperial Court were fools. Even without Li Zexuan's reminder, they could imagine just how great of a threat it would be to their side if the telescope were to fall into the enemy's hands.
Li Er naturally understood this as well. He didn't think too much about it and agreed to Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Niu Jinda's request.
However, before leaving, Li Er asked Li Zexuan in front of all the officials, "You're now an adult. Do you have a courtesy name?"
(According to the weekly system, a man will be crowned at the age of 20. However, in order to take control of the country as soon as possible, the Emperor and the Dukes will do it earlier. Legend has it that King Wen of Zhou crowned at the age of 12 and King Cheng crowned at the age of 15. Later generations changed according to the time and place. Among the people, it was held from the age of 15 to 20. Li Zexuan was about to reach the age of 15, so he could be considered an adult.)
Li Zexuan naturally replied that he didn't have one.
Li Er smiled and said, "You're multi-talented and you're proficient in both literature and martial arts. Zhuge Liang once said in the 'Book of Commandments' that a gentleman should cultivate his body with quietness and cultivate virtue with frugality. Without living a simple life, there is no way to show one's aspiration. Without being tranquil, there is no way to reach far. I hope that you can look at the big picture and have lofty aspirations. You'll be ambitious! "
(In ancient times, people not only had names, but also had names and even nicknames. For example, Zhuge Liang had a name called Kongming and was called Crouching Dragon. Another example was Bai Juyi. His name was Bai Juyi and his courtesy name was Letian. He also had a nickname, Fragrant Mountain Hermit. Therefore, the names of the ancient people should be divided into three types: name, courtesy name, and nickname. The name was the official name for oneself, the courtesy name was the continuation of this name, and the nickname represented one's ambition.)
Before Li Zexuan could say anything, Fang Xuanling clapped his hands and laughed, "Wonderful! Wonderful ~! In the 'Zuo Zhuan', Zi Pi once said that a gentleman knows the big picture and knows the big picture. A villain knows the small picture and knows the small picture. One knows the big picture and the other knows the big picture. Marquis Yong 'an is so lucky! "
Li Zexuan thought about it carefully for a long time and felt that Li Er's words were not bad. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the words. I will remember Your Majesty's admonition today!"
Li Er, who liked to trick people, finally didn't trick him this time around.
Li Er nodded his head in satisfaction. The rest of the officials looked at Li Zexuan with envy. This was the first time Li Er bestowed words to a court official. They never thought that this great honor would fall on Li Zexuan, who had just entered the court for less than a year. It really made them feel a little jealous!
Li Zexuan, who had a big heart and nerves, was naturally not afraid of the envy and jealousy of others. After Li Er and the ministers left, he returned to the courtyard and spent a rare two-person world with Han Yuxi (Cough cough, although there was still Xiao He and Xiao Xi in the courtyard, but these two girls had heard the word "bed" too many times, so Li Zexuan no longer treated these two girls as outsiders). They shamelessly fooled around until one o 'clock in the morning before going to sleep. Li Zexuan slept comfortably until the sun was high in the sky the next day before he woke up.
Li Zexuan stretched his body and ate the breakfast that Xiao Xi had prepared. He then went to the Academy. There were still many things to do there!
First of all, he had promised Mo Lingwei that he would persuade her father, Mo Lingwei. However, there were a lot of things to do yesterday. He had to attend court, receive the imperial edict, and receive Li Er and the other big shots who came to the Academy to look at the telescope. Therefore, Li Zexuan did not have time to do this. However, since he had promised Mo Lingwei, he had to get it done as soon as possible. Otherwise, when that girl went crazy, not many people could control her.
Back then, Mo Lingwei said that the principle of the telescope was proposed by Li Zexuan. She did not want the credit for inventing the telescope. She only wanted a little effort to make Li Zexuan persuade her father to let her stay in the Academy. However, from the looks of it now, this credit was undoubtedly more worth it for her.
This was because Li Zexuan realized that it was very difficult for his current noble rank and official position to be promoted. Unless he made a very significant military contribution, such as the war that destroyed the country, Li Er would not let him be promoted. This could be seen from the reward given to him for the cholera incident!
Therefore, it was better to use the credit of inventing the telescope to exchange for some substantial rewards for Mo Lingwei. This would force Old Man Mo to agree to let Mo Lingwei continue to stay in the Academy!
"Hurry up and go back! I thought you were just fooling around in Yanhuang College. I didn't expect you to want to stay in the Academy for a long time! You're simply fooling around! "
Sure enough, just as he approached Mo Huai's office, he heard Old Man Mo's angry roar from inside.
Li Zexuan shook his head and quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
