Chapter 244: Editing the Jianwen Dictionary (II)

Compiling the "Jianwen Canon" will definitely be a big project, even if Zhu Yunwen doesn't plan to make a set of large-scale encyclopedias of official cultivation like the "Yongle Canon" in history, but just the few items he just talked about, all of them can't be done in a year and a half.

And because the positioning of this "Jianwen Canon" is the knowledge of the question bank, its purpose is to let the grassroots scholars use it as an examiner, then in the future, they will inevitably need to study hard all night, just like the rote memorization of the examination in later generations, and take the cramming test-taking education mode.

"I'm just putting forward a rough outline idea here, and I'm still worried about the specific framework supplements."

Zhu Yunwen raised the tea bowl and made a circle, and the four of them hurriedly expressed their attitudes to ensure that they would live up to the holy will.

"Look at these specific knowledge, it is much better than them holding Cheng Zhu Lixue, the Four Books and the Five Classics, I have really taken a look at the classics of the sages such as "The Mean" and "University" these days, which are the crystallization of the thoughts and wisdom of the ancestors, but at the moment I can't use it in the Ming Dynasty, let alone the great world in decades or hundreds of years."

An era has an era's thoughts, and just because the sages wrote a great book, everyone will be superstitious and authoritative to praise the heavens, in the final analysis, it is just a kind of statecraft that adapts to the times.

The Spring and Autumn Period governed the Spring and Autumn Period, the Sui and Tang Dynasties governed the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty naturally wanted to govern the Ming Dynasty.

We are not in the same era, and these books should be preserved as national treasures, just like future generations, and they are the imprint of our nation's and country's civilization, and we should not hold this book to hold a conference and engage in construction.

Except for Yan Zhenzhi, the four of them are all serious Confucian backgrounds, and when Zhu Yunwen spoke like this, they naturally felt a little uncomfortable, but they had to admit that what Zhu Yunwen said was the truth and it was true.

The national system is different, the nationalities are also numerous, and the number of Dingkou is far more than the Spring and Autumn Period, I don't know how many times, Zhou Gong's set of etiquette to govern the country, as early as the Qin and Han dynasties were replaced by the law, the Spring and Autumn Thoughts, where can be applied to the Ming Dynasty after two thousand years.

"Alright, let's not criticize the sages."

Seeing that Yang Shiqi was about to speak, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand to interrupt, and when he saw the former's posture, he was 100% planning to serve himself and belittle his ancestors, and when the time came, Yu Xin was disgusted.

"I've thought of something funny, and I'll tell you about it."

Zhu Yunwen didn't bother to go back to his upper seat, so he sat on the chairs on both sides of the imperial staircase with the four of them, and called Shuangxi to bring a newspaper.

"Two days ago, there was a student at the foot of our Nanzhili who criticized Yang Ge for not being able to govern the country, and the sharpness of his words and the beauty of his rhetoric made me breathtaking."

As soon as Zhu Yunwen started talking, the four of them laughed, and only Yang Shiqi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The four of them naturally know about this matter, to be precise, the current Qiushi newspaper is the political vane of the Ming Dynasty, and if you want to be a good official, which issue is not habitually bought once it is published, and when you go back to the house, you will take a closer look at it and scrutinize it, which is more serious than watching the news broadcast in later generations.

The source of this matter is also very simple, that is, the original case of Zong Xun making a fortune, this case is not known to the people of the world, because these things are convicted of treason, but the supplementary bill issued by the imperial court afterwards is known to everyone in the world.

This year, the political atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is also relatively enlightened, probably because of the big movement, the local people also dare to talk about the government and the first and second grades of the court, except for the emperor Zhu Yunwen who is not afraid of death, even if the cabinet chief assistant like Yang Shiqi has been criticized.

"Although the case of Zong Xun making a fortune has not been exposed, the people at the feet of Nan Zhili are all clear-minded, and Zong Xun has only built a few big granaries in Huzhou Mansion on the front foot, and the back foot was beheaded and raided, followed by the introduction of the supplementary law, these smart low-level scholars are not so easy to deceive."

Zhu Yunwen laughed, and pointed at Yang Shiqi with one hand: "Shiqi, this time, these scholars have found your handle, saying that you, the head of the cabinet, are in a mess of governing the country, and you will wait until something goes wrong to know that you will make up for the loss, and you don't have the slightest view of the overall situation." ”

The hall burst into laughter.

This group of Shilin students in the Ming Dynasty are now very bold, they even dare to criticize the saints, and they are afraid of a mere Yang Shiqi?

This kind of ideology may not be accepted by these dignitaries and dignitaries during this period, but it is not a big deal in Zhu Yunwen's eyes.

As long as the common people do not say those things that are forbidden, propagate evil ideas and violate human ethics and laws, express their opinions, and say some self-righteous things, what kind of great sin is it?

There is no need to go online in a non-special period.

"What Your Majesty said is very much, and the minister is also ashamed after reading that article."

That article can be published, or he Yang Shiqi personally took the board!

At the beginning, Hu Sizong planned to abandon this article after seeing it, but he was Yang Shiqi's hardcore disciple, how could he let this kind of article that insulted Yang Shiqi's reputation be published in the newspaper, but Yang Shiqi personally decided after seeing it.

Is this Yang Shiqi's generosity and allowing the voice of criticism to exist?

He doesn't have the mind to do it himself, he just wants to take the blame for Zhu Yunwen, the emperor.

The law is not perfect, and after such a thing, isn't it natural for him, the head of the cabinet, to stand up and accept the criticism of the world? It's better for people in the world to scold him than to scold the emperor behind his back.

"This article is full of words, and the content is even more penetrating, and the ashamed ministers are going to take the blame and resign."

Yang Shiqi arched his hand at Zhu Yunwen: "You should still invite this university student to sit in the position of the first assistant." ”

"Hahahaha."

Several people burst into laughter, and Xie Jin, as Yang Shiqi's little brother, immediately helped Yang Shiqi.

"These people usually don't see them putting forward any constructive national policies, but as soon as there is something wrong with the current national policy, they immediately pop up, saying that we can't do this, that can't work, and it seems that all the princes in the house are corpses and vegetarians."

Xie Jin's words spoke to everyone's hearts, especially Yu Xin.

He is in charge of the country's finances, and the household department is the department that finds the most problems every year, so naturally this policy must be constantly improved and supplemented, so that students all over the world criticize him and Xia Yuanji every day, which roughly means "It's better to let me do it." ”

In hindsight, it's probably the favorite thing people like to do.

"That's a good thing."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said indifferently.

"With the existence of these critical voices, we can be more at ease, as the old saying goes, if you listen to it, you will be dark, and if you listen to it, you will be clear, you often use this sentence to remind me of the emperor, and now it will be your turn."

Several people laughed bitterly, of course you don't care, anyway, no one in the world dares to criticize you, the emperor, but you don't have a backache when you stand and talk.

"Your Majesty is right, the so-called don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, the ministers of the previous dynasties always used such words to ask the king, but they didn't expect the ministers to do this, and found that this is really uncomfortable."

As soon as I heard this, I knew that it came from the mouth of Yang Shiqi, a sycophant.

"Actually, that's a good thing."

Zhu Yunwen patted the draft outline of the "Jianwen Dictionary" beside him, and said: "This "Jianwen Dictionary" is not a small project, only relying on the hard work of a few Qing families, and I don't know how many days it will take. ”

The major categories of "Jianwen Dictionary" don't seem to be much, but if a medium detail is added, it will be a sea of books, and if this group of first-class scholars comes to edit it in person, the country's business will be delayed.

They are only the person in charge, and they have to set up a team at the bottom to be in charge.

"Your Majesty, this is a good gesture."

There is a chance to be able to pat himself on the back, and Xie Jin is also unwilling to stand up immediately.

"The humanities of the provinces are complicated and different, rather than us scrutinizing and snooping through the local government records in Nanjing, it is better to invite them over, and also give our ministers who have been in the center for a long time to consult."

"But this is the case, so that our workload will be much less, and the efficiency will be much faster."

Yan Zhenzhi followed up and agreed.

The more the four of them chatted, the happier they became, and they began to show their ideas about the editing of the "Jianwen Dictionary", which made Zhu Yunwen on the side more and more dumbfounded.

Why are these people chatting and chatting and even saying things like 'discuss together'?

Looking at this momentum and going down, it will become 'the country to discuss together', what's the matter, can you still make a Ming version of the National People's Congress this year?

Come to think of it, I'm looking forward to it.
