23. The Prime Minister in Black
"The emperors of every dynasty have always repaired all kinds of books, and their fathers also repaired them during their reign, but they were not perfect, and Yun Wei was even more useless. Therefore, I want to build the most complete, perfect, and excellent book in the past, so that people in a thousand years later will know the glory and glory of our time! Zhu Di made a generous statement, looked at me, and said with a smile, "Naturally, my life experience must be mentioned in this book, and my biological mother can only be wronged under Jiuquan, in this book, I have to recognize Queen Ma as my biological mother." ”
Looking at Zhu Di's ambitious appearance, I really couldn't bear to make any accusations against his approach, so I nodded and said, "This thing can be done, but who are you going to let to repair the book?" ”
"When my father was here, the most trusted ministers were hostile to Fang Xiaoru, but this person was too strong, so he showed stubbornness, and the others, such as Xie Jin, although he was not the top three in the year, was just a jinshi, but his talent and learning should not be underestimated, and he had an advantage that Fang Xiaoru could not reach, that is, he was very good at judging the situation. If Fang Xiaoru is full of wealth, but he is a teapot, and he can't pour out half of the dumplings on his stomach, but Xie Jin can use the knowledge in his stomach to be an official in the world, and he can use his talents to do a great career for the country. ”
"So you like Xie Jin?"
"Yes."
"The person you choose will not be wrong, since it has been decided, this is a good thing for the future generations, and it should be done as soon as possible." I said with a smile.
"It's just that I haven't figured out what the name of this book is, Ah Yi, you can think about it for me." Zhu Di stood up, stretched out his arms, and moved slightly, I walked to him with a smile and held him down, "Are you tired, I'll press it for you." ”
Zhu Di sat down with a smile, looked up at me, I helped him gently rub his temples, and said, "Shengshi Xiushu, now the Ming Dynasty is very prosperous in your hands, and your year name is Yongle, how about this book called Yongle Dadian?" It's simple and straightforward, and it's magnificent, and it meets your expectations. ”
Zhu Di clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay!" It's called the Yongle Ceremony! Xie Jin took someone to repair the book, so you worked harder and helped them proofread, okay? ”
I smiled and waved my hand, "This can't be helped, this book must include astronomy and geography, thousands of years of history, and all kinds of documents from the past and present, I don't know anything, how can I proofread it?" ”
"I didn't let you proofread it yourself, you organized people to supervise the proofreading, with you, they naturally worked harder." Zhu Di smiled and reached out to pinch the corner of my clothes, "Besides, I can't bear to let you worry about such hard work." ”
"Delay a false name, send me a fortune every month, I am willing to do this." I covered my mouth and laughed.
Zhu Di clapped his hands, "That's it." ”
"That......" I looked at the excited Zhu Di and stopped talking.
He pulled me to sit down with his backhand, rubbed my face and said, "I know what you're going to say." My biological mother, Concubine Qi, and adoptive mother, Concubine Li, have all been posthumously titled, and the spiritual seat is also placed next to my father's spiritual seat along with Queen Ma's spiritual seat. Several other concubines in the palace who are still healthy have also added examples and raised their titles, so that they can enjoy their old age in peace. ”
I stretched out my hand and touched his face lovingly, "Won my heart." ”
When Zhu Di saw my appearance, he laughed, "Little thing, people often use one person below ten thousand people to describe how powerful a person is, and you, even I have to hold you high on my shoulders and let you see the scenery that even I can't see, how lofty do you say your status is?" ”
I pouted, "The little girl doesn't dare." ”
When Xie Jin received Zhu Di's will to ask him to revise the book, it was obvious that he did not attach much importance to this will, and he did not regard this task as a big thing, but just lightly accepted the order. Zhu Di was a little dissatisfied in his heart, I told him that suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, maybe Xie Jin has the ability to not be known to ordinary people?
Zhu Di promised him all conditions, as long as this book of prosperity is repaired, financial resources and manpower can give the greatest support. It's a pity that Xie Jin didn't take advantage of Zhu Di's conditions, but he was afraid that in his heart, his talent should be eloquent above the court, instead of fighting against the literature every day in Wenyuan Pavilion. Within a few months, he handed over the first draft to Zhu Di's case.
I read the first draft with Zhu Di, and I didn't think it was appropriate, Zhu Di looked even colder, and Li Xing was waiting outside the hall at this time. Zhu Di pushed the first draft full of tables to the ground and said angrily, "Look at it, I trust him so much, what kind of things he handed over to me!" ”
I walked to the desk and slowly picked up the manuscript, "Don't be angry, your thoughts have only been told to me in detail, what you gave Xie Jin is just a holy decree, how can he know what you want?" He's outside the door at this time, so it's much more useful for you to pull him in and talk about it than if you were angry here. Looking at his first draft, although it is not satisfactory, but the talent should not be underestimated, if this book wants to be compiled, it still has to rely on him as the main force. ”
After speaking, he put all the manuscripts in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Di paused slightly, finally showed a little smile, and said softly, "You go behind the screen, I will call him in, reprimand him well, and then order him to do it again." ”
I smiled and walked behind the screen, and it didn't take long for Xie Jin to walk in. His career has gone through a lot, has become his precious wealth, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, he has served three generations of emperors, and he is only thirty-six or seven years old this year, which is the age of spring breeze.
He patted the sleeves on both sides, knelt in front of Zhu Di, and said loudly, "The minister Xie Jin will see the emperor." "Although the etiquette is good, the attitude is not humble, and there is a kind of arrogance peculiar to scholars. What he didn't expect was that Zhu Di didn't immediately call him up as before, just snorted coldly in his nose, then looked down at the manuscript in his hand again, and no longer paid attention to him, so he hung him for a while, he finally realized that he had offended the monarch in front of him, but he didn't realize that what offended him was the book repair work that he didn't pay attention to.
"Your Majesty...... I don't know what instructions the emperor has for reading the first draft of Weichen? Xie Jin asked boldly.
Zhu Di glanced at him at this time, "You made this up?!" ”
Xie Jin's face changed slightly, "The emperor personally issued an order and ordered Weichen to compile it, how can it be ......?"
"You want to ask how I forgot such a big thing, don't you?" Zhu Di glanced at Xie Jin casually, put the manuscript in his hand on the table, and sneered, "If you don't say that you made it up, I can't believe it, if you are as knowledgeable as you, you will use such a thing to fool me." ”
Although Zhu Di was not very angry in front of Xie Jin, Xie Jin also understood Zhu Di's rebuke from Zhu Di's words, and couldn't help but feel like a red cloud, and fidgeted, "Weichen should die...... Wechen damn ......"
"You deserve to die or not, you don't count if you say it yourself." Zhu Di glanced at Xie Jin with a cold gaze, I could see his kneeling body slightly shaking behind the screen, and Zhu Di continued, "You have to make it clear, the book I asked you to repair is not the kind of history book that bluffed people that I cultivated in the previous dynasty, I want nothing other than the ---- canon!" Do you understand? ”
Xie Jin nodded again and again, "Weichen understands, and I hope the emperor will give Weichen another chance." ”
"The opportunity is in your own hands, see if you don't cherish it."
After Xie Jinwei retreated, Zhu Di was still bright, I walked out and said with a smile, "This person is very interesting." ”
"Why?"
"As the saying goes, the literati are arrogant and noble. But this man has only pride, and has no integrity. ”
Zhu Di sneered twice, "Betraying the old master, how can you be honest." I'm just looking at him for some skill. ”
I smiled, "You are really difficult to serve, Fang Xiaoru disagrees with you, you want to kill someone, saying that people don't know current affairs, Xie Jin can be regarded as knowing current affairs, and you have to complain that others betray the old master and have no integrity." Hey, a courtier born in troubled times really has nothing to do. Speaking of which, I'm also Taizu's old department, I don't know how you want to position me? ”
Zhu Di laughed when I said, "Is there a husband who you sarcastically mock yourself like this?" ”
"Now you're my husband again?" I also laughed, "Xie Jin, as you said, is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he doesn't need a hammer to ring the drum, and what you tell him today, he will definitely take it to heart." Just ......"
"Just what, what kind of ideas do you have?" Zhu Di said with a smile, "Your title is very problematic, I should change it for you, and call you Miao Guifei to forget it." ”
I picked up the brush and tapped it on his hand with the barrel of the pen, "You are the first person in the world who can sarcastically mock people." ”
"Ouch, you are beaten, but there are thousands of articles in it, first, beating her husband, she is really a fierce woman, and second, the following crimes, even committed to the emperor's head, what crime do you think you should be punished for?"
"You put me in prison, and the queen of autumn will behead me." I said with a smile.
Zhu Di shrugged, "Sharp teeth, I can't talk about you, how can you still mess around and deny it?" Good men don't fight with women, I won't debate with you, come on, what do you think? ”
I shook my head, dipped the pen in my hand in thick ink, spread out a piece of paper, and wrote four words on the paper, Zhu Di stretched out his head to look at it, and said in a daze, "Prime Minister in black?" ”<
