Chapter 665: A Cultural Event
The news of the capital came one after another in five days, and every time Jiang Anyi would bring a letter to Zhushan to taste tea and discuss with Zhang Keji, the seemingly ordinary little things revealed the hideous face behind Zhang Keji's cocoon, which made Jiang Anyi feel greatly inspired. Looking at the flowers in the fog, after Zhang Keji's analysis, the fog finally dissipated a little, and Jiang Anyi gradually could see the color of the flowers.
The wind and clouds surged in the depths of the waves, and the occasional small splash on the surface quickly subsided. Of course, Shi Fangzhen knew that he was recuperating in Yanshan Villa, and the two sons would definitely have to wrestle, and the carriages and horses going back and forth between the palace and the villa were constantly going back and forth every day, and the Son of Heaven seemed to be recuperating, but his eyes were staring at the capital tightly.
King Chu'an acted resolutely, and on June 20, the case of the Jiangnan Transshipment Division was closed, and the verdict of the relevant people was revealed, which was copied by Tian Shoulou in a letter: Chang Yuchao and other officials of the Jiangnan Transshipment Division embezzled Hegong and Yin, bought and murdered, and caused the Jiangnan Incident, and they were all beheaded, but poor Wan Huaixing and Duan Shuang originally escaped death, but fell under Shi Chongjie's hands; Ye Yanguang Ling Chi, his family was sold into slavery, and Yu Shusen was beheaded; Lu Congming received stolen silver, lived up to the grace of the saint, confiscated the family property, distributed it to Qianzhou, never used it, belonged to the official Guo Liang cane forty, confiscated the stolen money, and the whole family distributed it to Lizhou; Lu Jialin, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was unconscious, fined 20,000 taels of silver, fined five years (the official of Zhishi was halved), Duanzhou Assassin Shi Aiwei received benefits, handled things unclear, fined 10,000 taels of silver, and returned home; There are also a large number of officials in Duanzhou and officials from the Ministry of Industry and Household Affairs who have been punished to varying degrees, and their names alone are enough to write five pieces of letterhead, which is really difficult for Tian Shoulou to copy such detailed content.
Jiang Anyi shook his head and sighed: "King Chu'an is in a hurry to establish his authority, this disposal is too heavy, and it involves too many people, I am afraid that it will cause a shock in the officialdom." ”
Zhang Keji said with a smile: "The lord only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, but Zhang thinks it's too light." ”
"The law of the state should be acted in accordance with the "Da Zheng Law", Chang Yuchao, Ye Yanguang and others are innocent of death, but Wan Huaixing and Duan Shuang are not dead; Although Ai Wei and other local officials are at fault, they are bad habits of officialdom for many years, and the fines are a bit too heavy; Besides, Lu Congming deserves it, but he should not confiscate the family property, as for the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household to collect benefits, it is common for Beijing officials to live on how to live on Yulu, and the Son of Heaven should also know a thing or two about these bad habits, King Chu'an opened the lid this time, I am afraid that he will offend a large number of Beijing officials. Jiang Anyi has done a history of assassination, is familiar with "Da Zheng Law", and is also clear about the conventions and practices in the officialdom.
"Inheriting oneself and grace from above, this is the way of officials." Zhang Keji said: "The Son of Heaven hated the Hegong case, the Jiangnan Incident delayed the pace of his northern expedition, the Son of Heaven was eager to crush all the silverfish to death, King Chu'an's severe punishment was not for the Son of Heaven, but according to the usual practice, the Son of Heaven will reduce the punishment as appropriate." ”
Zhang Keji pointed his finger at the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household in the letter, and said with a smile: "The lord takes a closer look at these officials, and you will find that most of these people are biased towards the prince, and King Chu'an is taking the opportunity to suppress the prince." ”
Jiang Anyi sighed silently, and the Son of Heaven secretly allowed the prince to fight, but he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
On June 28, Tian Shoulou's letter brought the will of the Son of Heaven, and as Zhang Keji expected, the punishment of the relevant personnel was reduced a lot: Chang Yuchao, Ye Yanguang, Yu Shusen, Zou Sujie, and Qiu Guangming were beheaded and confiscated their family property, and the children of Chang Yuchao and Ye Yanguang were confiscated as slaves; Wan Huaixing and Duan Shuang were fined 50,000 taels of silver and distributed to Qianzhou; Lu Congming's disposal remains unchanged, and Guo Liang only disposes of one of them, not involving his family; Lu Jialin was reprimanded, Ai Wei forcibly ordered Zhishi, and most of the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household were fined. The Son of Heaven issued an order to order the officials of the Yamen of the Huanhe River Transshipment Division to surrender themselves and return the stolen silver, which could be dealt with lightly.
The hanging board fell gently, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief, and the sound of the saint wanted to raise the Yanshan Pavilion to the ninth night. Shi Fangzhen, who was at ease, wandered leisurely among the beautiful gardens, looked at the scenery, listened to songs and dances, lived freely, the dizziness was greatly reduced, and the imperial doctor who accompanied him also had a smile on his face.
There was a news in the letter, the prince Shi Chongwei asked for the establishment of Wenhua Pavilion, convened Shilin celebrities, learned from hundreds of schools, collected the strengths of all families, and compiled the "Wenhua Canon", highlighting the prosperity of Wenzhi.
The Son of Heaven Shi Fang was really overjoyed, and ordered the secretary to be the chief editor of Qi Guowei, the chief of the Guozi Priest Wine Fei Ruyang, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xue Zhiren as the supervisor, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Hongwen Pavilion and Chongwen Pavilion Bachelors, Straight Bachelors, and the people of Confucian literature in various states were recruited as compilations, and the Yiningfang abolished the King of Gaoyang (Emperor Zhao's concubine, the brother of Emperor Xuan, forty years ago because of his dissolute actions and killing innocents, he was abolished, and the mansion was recovered, and he was dead) The old mansion was Wenhua Pavilion, and Guanglu Temple was ordered to provide morning and evening meals, and the household department allocated 220,000 yuan of silver in advance. He also said that after the book is completed, he will personally write a preface to record it.
The will came out, Shilin was boiling, and the matter of repairing the canon was rushed, this "Wenhua Canon" is destined to become a work that has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are a few people who have left a few lines of words in the history of the Qing for thousands of years, if they can be fortunate enough to participate in the compilation of the "Wenhua Canon" and leave their names on this work, it is much easier than searching in the vast history books, and it is much more brisk.
Since beating Wei Yishen Zhishi, Qi Guowei has lost his motivation, he knows that Shi Fangzhen, the son of heaven, does not value himself. Later, Kong Province became the right minister, he took over as the secretary and the left supervisor, and Li Haogu, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, became the right supervisor, and the Son of Heaven usually inquired directly about Li Haogu when he had something, and his secretary and the left supervisor became the ear of the deaf man. Qi Guowei was depressed for a while, he thought about it, he was almost in the year of the sixtieth year, and he would go home after a few years of peace, but he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to send him such a big event.
When people were in good spirits on happy occasions, Qi Guowei threw the affairs of the secretary and supervisor to Li Haogu, and he took a few cronies to sit in Wenhua Pavilion and concentrate on compiling the "Wenhua Canon". From the selection of officials and literati who compiled the canon, to the collection of books, the arrangement of office space, and the urging of silver taels, everything was inquired into in every detail.
Tian Shoulou told in the letter that it was not easy to be selected for the compilation, except for a few famous and important figures, Qi Zuojian was strictly controlled, and was jokingly called "indecent and incivil". The pawn bureau ordered Bao Liming to think that he was the champion and the first, and he must be indispensable in the compilation of the canon, but he learned that Ding Chu, a member of the Ministry of Rites, had been selected, but he was still in the process of verification, and he was busy spending two hundred taels of silver to buy a picture of smoke and rain drawn by a famous scholar of the previous dynasty to visit Qi Mansion, and the next day it was approved.
The officials in Beijing all knew that this Qi Zuojian was an elegant man who liked calligraphy, painting and antiques, so the calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasty and the treasures of antiques were sent in like cabbage, and Qi Guowei specially vacated a room to pile up, and soon prepared a second room. The room was full of calligraphy and paintings, and Qi Guowei was both happy and apprehensive, thinking that he would have time to pick up some good things to send to the prince. The compilation of the "Wenhua Canon" was proposed by the prince, drinking water and thinking of the source, this good opportunity to make a fortune was given by the prince, and it was the due meaning to thank the East Palace. Moreover, after receiving so many good things, I always feel uneasy, Yu Shitai is completely arrogant because of Lu Congming's matter, and he definitely can't take care of himself for a while, but he still expresses his heart to the prince, and it is safer to have the prince to take care of it than anything. Since the crown prince's regency, the Son of Heaven has praised it many times, and this proposal to revise the "Wenhua Grand Canon" has been unanimously praised by Shilin, and the limelight of King Chu'an's trial of the Jiangnan Transshipment Division case has also been suppressed by the prince.
As a literati, Jiang Anyi was quite concerned about the revision of the "Wenhua Canon", and sighed: "It's a pity that I'm not in Beijing, otherwise I would definitely be selected as the compilation of the canon as a direct scholar of Chongwenguan." ”
Zhang Keji smiled dumbly and said: "The lord is destined to go down in history, why compete with those bookworms, instead of fighting for those false names, it is better to do something practical for the people." ”
Jiang Anyi laughed, Zhang Keji's compliments made him feel comfortable physically and mentally, and distinguished him from those who were not pragmatic, which was also Jiang Anyi's expectation of himself, what he would leave in the history books in the future was not the reputation of Zhuangyuanlang and Ci Xian, but the ability to govern the world.
"Wenzhi martial arts, whitewash the peace, no amount of Huazhang can cover up the blood and bones, more than 10,000 corpses outside Linhua County are not cold, the prince and the ministers are in a hurry to sing praises for the Son of Heaven." Zhang Keji mocked sarcastically.
Jiang Anyi disagreed with Zhang Keji's compassion, in his opinion, Mr. Zhang has experienced great changes, seeing things are biased, from chaos to governance is the only way, when today's son is working hard, the foreign army to the north with troops to intimidate the desert people, the Miao people in Qianzhou subdued, and the countries of the Western Regions did not dare to invade the east; The territory appoints talented officials, reins the power of the family, clears the world's acres of land, and implements tax integration, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment. The unrest in Linhua County was nothing more than an accident, and it was quickly quelled.
Now that the country is rich and the people are strong, it is a good time to revise the "Wenhua Canon" to highlight the cultural governance, waiting for the time of the Beiding desert people, the cultural and martial arts will build a peaceful and prosperous era again, and they will follow the Son of Heaven to make meritorious contributions, and have honor.
Zhang Keji saw Jiang Anyi's disapproval, and sighed secretly and did not continue, although the lord was difficult in his early years, he had a smooth career in his youth and later years, the Son of Heaven believed in favor, governed the government well, was praised by Shilin, and had a prosperous family business.
It is not necessarily a good thing to divide the sails, and the lord is afraid that he will be full of thorns when he enters Beijing to serve as an official this time, and he is afraid that he will suffer a loss if he does not find a good strategist to help, and he is afraid that the lord will be like himself after being hit.
Zhang Keji's hand was on the silver mask, even in the middle of June and summer, the icy chill still made people's hearts ??, secretly make up their minds, if the lord could not find a suitable strategist, he would hide in the carriage and quietly enter Beijing a year ago to solve the problems for the lord.
