Chapter 805: The Imperial Doctor Knows Medical Skills, The Dean Knows Better About Investigation Rep
Seeing all the concubines and concubines of the capital's civil and military officials in front of her prostrating themselves on the ground, Empress Ma turned to look at Dai Sigong, the imperial eunuch on the other side, and asked warmly:
"How is Erya's situation?!!"
"Can the damage caused to her by the foot binding just now be undone?!!"
Dai Sigong, who had already completed acupuncture soothing and foot examination, immediately replied:
"I would like to inform you that Erya is still young and the time for binding her feet is not too long, so now she can relax her feet again and cultivate herself well. If her feet are no longer bound in the future, she can still return to her normal appearance.
After receiving Dai Sigong's confirmed answer, Empress Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked:
“If foot binding continues, what impact will it have on women?!!”
Upon hearing Queen Ma's inquiry, Dai Sigong replied without any hesitation:
"If foot binding continues, it will lead to foot deformities and cause serious damage to women's bodies."
"Secondly, it will lead to restricted movement and difficulty in walking, which will make women with bound feet lazy to move and sit around all day long, which will lead to excessive worry, causing disharmony between Qi and blood, and ultimately lead to physical weakness."
"Thirdly, foot deformities can also affect women's posture, easily causing back pain, muscle stiffness and other problems."
"Fourthly, foot binding can also cause blood circulation disorders in the feet, causing foot pain, swelling and other problems, and even lead to diseases of other organs in the body due to poor blood circulation."
"Fifth, the physical deformities caused by foot binding will also affect women's fertility, further increasing the risk of dystocia for women during childbirth, etc."
"All the above can be supported by the comparative records of medical examinations conducted by doctors at the medical school and others on women with bound feet and women without foot binding in the past few days."
At the end, Dai Sigong took out more than two hundred diagnosis and treatment records from the inner pocket of his robe.
As for these diagnosis and treatment records, Queen Ma had briefly read them once before, so there was no need to read them again and said directly:
"Distribute these medical records and show them to all the ministers."
The chamberlain on the side immediately took the diagnosis and treatment record report form from Dai Sigong and distributed it to all the civil and military officials below.
The format of each diagnosis and treatment record report form is the same. On the left and right sides are written the names, residential addresses, diagnosis and treatment process and results of women with and without foot binding respectively.
It can be said that this piece of information is absolutely true and reliable.
[Probably true and reliable...]
Dai Sigong thought a little uncertainly.
A few days ago, the dean of their medical school, Yi Shengqibo, suddenly asked them to carry out targeted free diagnosis and treatment for women with and without footbinding.
Although this diagnosis and treatment only lasted for a few days, all doctors and medical doctors from the medical school were dispatched.
In just a few days, they completed corresponding diagnosis and treatment for more than 2,000 women with and without footbinding.
However, if we look at more than 2,000 medical records and reports, the difference in the number of illnesses between women with bound feet and women without foot binding is not very obvious.
After all, in addition to foot binding causing corresponding diseases in women, there are also other reasons that can cause diseases in women who do not have their feet bound.
Although the causes of the disease are not the same, the results of the disease are likely to be the same.
For example, foot binding can cause qi and blood disharmony and physical weakness, but wind-cold, lung disease, dysmenorrhea, etc. can also cause qi and blood disharmony and physical weakness.
From a medical point of view, they naturally know the obvious difference between the two.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it is very likely that the disharmony of qi and blood and physical weakness caused by foot binding will be attributed to ignorance, or even malice, as disharmony of qi and blood and physical weakness caused by diseases such as wind-cold, lung disease, dysmenorrhea, etc. Deficiency, thereby excusing foot binding.
Therefore, under such circumstances, more than two thousand medical records and reports cannot prove convincingly that women with bound feet are more frail and sickly than women without bound feet.
And Dai Sigong also knew that the main purpose of making such a medical record report was to provide strong evidence to help the Queen abolish foot binding in the world.
So after seeing that the evidence they came up with was not so "strong", Dai Sigong felt a little uneasy.
But they never expected that after hearing their diagnosis and treatment results, their director, Doctor Sheng Qibo, would directly ask them to select the health differences between women with foot binding and women without foot binding from the more than 2,000 diagnosis and treatment record reports. More than two hundred records of the greatest sex.
Then, when the time comes, more than 200 medical records and reports will be submitted showing the greatest difference in physical health between women with bound feet and women without bound feet.
Therefore, many civil and military officials now compare the medical records and reports. Not only can they easily see that women who do not bind their feet are indeed much healthier than women who have their feet bound, and have fewer various diseases. a lot of!
Even women who do not have their feet bound have an average of one or two more children than women who have their feet bound!
Civil and military officials may not care too much about women's physical health, but they still care very much about the number of children a woman gives birth to.
After all, the current era is still an era in which "there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having children", and "family inheritance and continuation of incense" are the most important.
Therefore, Dai Sigong, who was standing at the front of the hall, could easily see the changes in the faces of the civil and military officials below after seeing the diagnosis and treatment record comparison report form distributed to them.
It is obvious that a considerable number of officials, who originally supported foot-binding, or were neutral parties who could or could not bind feet, quickly turned into supporters of non-foot-binding!
Seeing this scene, Dai Sigong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
[There are still many things to learn from the dean!]
After all, these imperial doctors only know medical skills, but their dean not only knows medical skills, but also knows how to "make" investigation reports!
And strictly speaking, this is not considered fraud, it just omits most of the "irrelevant" redundant data.
All the remaining data records they have are true!
If civil and military officials have questions about this, they can always ask the women who received treatment about the corresponding diagnosis and treatment status based on the diagnosis and treatment record comparison report form.
Their diagnosis and treatment record comparison report form can withstand the inspection and inspection of numerous civil and military officials!
When he thought of this, Dai Sigong, who was originally a little guilty, immediately straightened his chest.
More than two hundred diagnosis and treatment record comparison reports were distributed, and one direct person passed them on to the next person after reading them.
Soon, more than 3,000 civil and military officials from the capital, as well as local officials in the palace, had read the diagnosis and treatment record comparison report form endorsed by the medical sage Qi Bo, as well as the Wanmin Medical College and a group of imperial doctors.
At the same time, combined with the words of Dai Sigong, the former envoy of the Imperial Hospital, as well as the stories and experiences of the folk woman Wang, the old woman Zhao, the girl Lin Erya, and even the statements of their own daughters.
All the civil servants, military officers, and noble marquis present had almost come to their own conclusions about the matter of foot binding.
Queen Ma, who was above the imperial steps, cast her eyes on Song Lian again and asked calmly:
"Mr. Song, as the Minister of Rites, and 'Kong Sigong, will issue etiquette tomorrow to spread the benevolence and righteousness of the family."
“I wonder if ‘foot binding’ can be considered a ritual’?!!”
“I don’t know if it is a correct idea to view women’s small feet as beautiful and women’s big feet as ugly, and constantly despise and belittle women’s big feet?!!”
"And is a custom like foot binding a custom that should be pursued?!!"
"Please sir, give me some advice."
Song Lian immediately replied without hesitation:
"Foot-binding, a behavior that goes against human nature and Confucian benevolence, is naturally not a ritual. It is also not a correct ideological concept, and it should not be sought after by everyone!"
Upon hearing Song Lian's answer, Queen Ma showed no surprise on her face and said in a deep voice:
"In this case, I will completely abolish the foot binding of women in the world from today on.
"Royal princesses, princesses, palace maids, concubines, and future princes and concubines are not allowed to have their feet bound!"
"Similarly in the world, if a woman's feet are bound again, her mother, husband, and father will all be given eighty sticks and exiled for three thousand miles!"
"Do you have any objections to this, sirs?!!"
At the end of the sentence, Queen Ma's phoenix eyes calmly glanced at the more than 3,000 civil and military officials of His Highness, as if silently saying, if any of you have any objections, please come out and try.
Do all the civil and military officials have any objections?!!
Of course there are objections!!!
However, this objection is not directed at Queen Ma's desire to completely abolish foot binding. After all, foot binding is indeed inhumane and goes against Confucian benevolence. [The most important thing is that it also affects the number of children they have.
Therefore, on the matter of completely abolishing foot binding, most civil and military officials stood on the same front as Queen Ma.
Even if there are a few officials who like the perverted hobby of foot binding, they will not jump out to stop it at this time.
After all, if it does jump out, it may not be able to stop it. On the contrary, it may anger Queen Ma and get herself involved.
And what is the most important point?!!
It’s Zhu Yuanzhang!!!
Zhu Yuanzhang has not spoken since Empress Ma's wife Wang, the old woman Zhao, and the girl Lin Erya entered the palace.
what does that mean?!!
This means that Queen Ma's actions were supported and acquiesced by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Without Zhu Yuanzhang's support and acquiescence, it would have been impossible for Empress Ma to say that the Xuanmin woman Wang, the old woman Zhao, and the girl Lin Erya came into the palace to personally speak about the dangers of footbinding, let alone that footbinding should be abolished.
If even Zhu Yuanzhang supports something, is it really useful for these civil and military officials to oppose it?!!
It's not like they, the courtiers, don't know how domineering Zhu Yuanzhang's temper is.
And even if Zhu Yuanzhang is not mentioned, even Queen Ma is not someone they can afford to offend.
At least if Zhu Yuanzhang is offended, Queen Ma will intercede in the future, not only to save their lives, but at least to save the lives of the nine tribes.
But if he offended Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang would go crazy in the future. Without Queen Ma to dissuade him, all nine of his tribes would be gone.
Therefore, under such circumstances, more than 90% of the civil and military officials agreed with Queen Ma to completely abolish the foot-binding of women in the world.
The real objections of all the civil and military officials were to the punishment that Queen Ma just said: "Her mother, husband, and father all have eighty sticks and are exiled for three thousand miles." They felt that this punishment was a bit too severe.
After all, eighty sticks and three thousand miles of exile are not a death sentence, but they can definitely be called torture.
And this was exactly what Queen Ma had in mind, which was to use torture to sternly warn people in the world not to bind their feet again!
Just when some censors were about to jump out and say a few words.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been sitting on the dragon chair without saying a word, suddenly spoke:
"One more thing, from today onwards, all civil and military officials will
The wives and concubines of scholars, scholars, and scholars.
"If there is a person who binds feet, once it is reported and verified, he will be dismissed from his position, his title will be removed, and he will be demoted to a commoner!"
"Even if you get married and then divorce, there is no exception!"
"Afterwards, Song Qing will draft a decree and submit it to me for approval!"
"After all the chief envoys, prefects, prefects, and county magistrates returned to their respective places, they should also urge the people under their control to abandon the bad habit of foot binding."
0
"In addition, the Ministry of Civil Affairs must also list the number of women's footbinding as one of the criteria for evaluating the performance of local officials in the future!"
His sister is still too kind.
Foot-binding has a history of two or three hundred years from the Song Dynasty to the present, and it has become a common practice among the people.
Under such circumstances, fighting for eighty years and being exiled for three thousand miles may not be able to stop a group of wealthy gentry and literati from admiring footbinding, as well as the popular footbinding among the people.
tide.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it is necessary to impose a strict requirement on the wives and concubines of the ten officials, Jinshi, Juren, and scholars not to have their feet bound.
If you want to be an official of his Lao Zhu family, then you cannot marry a concubine with bound feet. If you want to marry a concubine with bound feet, then don't be an official of his Lao Zhu family!
In this way, even if the literary scholars in the world still like the Three-Inch Golden Lotus in their hearts, as long as they still want to obtain fame and become officials.
Then they will no longer show it openly, let alone marry such wives and concubines.
After all the civil and military officials and scholars in the world no longer marry wives and concubines with bound feet, then those ordinary families will even let their daughters have their feet bound.
They also don't want to let their foot-bound daughters marry into wealthy families as they did in the past, and ultimately reap benefits.
The emperor's royal family and all the civil and military officials no longer pursued foot binding, and even severely punished it. In addition, ordinary families could no longer obtain enough from foot binding to make them
After realizing their heart-throb interests, the foot-binding trend will naturally stop slowly.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's unquestionable words, the censor who was about to step out immediately took back his steps.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to hear the opinions of all the civil and military officials on this now. He just wants them to implement the decision of him and Empress Ma.
Under such circumstances, if they open their mouth again, they are asking for trouble.
After all, there was nothing wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma's order to abolish foot binding. At best, the punishment was excessive.
But, did this matter in the Hongwu Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang?!!
If we really want to say that the punishment is too severe, then there is also the law "If corruption exceeds 60 taels, peel off the last straw", is the punishment too severe?!!
No!!!
But did Zhu Yuanzhang change?!!
No changes at all!!!
No matter who he is, if anyone is corrupted, Zhu Yuanzhang will kill them without any hesitation.
Therefore, after hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang had made the final decision, Song Lian, the Minister of Rites, and Ru Taisu, the Minister of Hubu, all came out to respond:
"Follow your majesty and empress's will!"
His Royal Highness, more than 3,000 civil and military officials, and noble marquises also bowed in unison and said:
"Your Majesty is wise and your Majesty is wise!"
All the wives and daughters of the capital's civil and military officials, as well as the common women Wang and the old woman Zhao, even shed tears of gratitude and said:
"Your Majesty is merciful! Your Majesty is merciful!"
Queen Ma, who was standing under the imperial steps of the Dan Palace, turned back to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, with a smile on her face.
Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Queen Ma, grinned, and said nothing.
