Chapter 468: Luo Guanzhong's regrets

However, Yun Xi didn't say anything important immediately after that, just announced the opening of the meal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although today's banquet was not big, the dishes in the palace were all things they usually wanted to eat and couldn't eat, so although they tried their best to appear calm in front of Yun Xi, they were still attracted by these very delicious dishes and feasted on them.

Only Luo Guanzhong was not like this, eating little by little. He's old and can't eat much. Don't look at the dessert he had been eating when Yun Xi didn't arrive, but he didn't actually eat much.

Luo Guanzhong's seat was next to Yun Xi, and Yun Xi also conveniently turned his head and asked, "Mr. Luo, I look at your body, do you want the imperial doctor to take another look at you, after all, I was in a hurry just now, I'm afraid the inspection is not detailed enough." ”

Yun Xi cares about Luo Guanzhong very much. Now Luo Guanzhong is the leader of these people because of his qualifications and writing level, and he is in charge of these people for Yunxi. It is also under his leadership that this small team of writers is thriving, and countless high-level scripts flow out of here, and the money earned after selling these scripts and scripts is enough for their expenses, and Yun Xi does not have to spend additional money.

If Luo Guanzhong passes away, and Yun Xi has not found anyone who can replace Luo Guanzhong now, then it is uncertain whether this team can maintain the current situation. And Luo Guanzhong, as a famous Chinese novel writer, Yunxi also has a sense of admiration for him.

Luo Guanzhong himself also understood what Yun Xi meant by what he said just now, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the grass people's body is quite tough, so there is no need to trouble the imperial doctor in the palace." ”

Since Luo Guanzhong himself was unwilling, Yun Xi was not reluctant, so he no longer talked about it, but asked something else: "Mr. Luo, what progress has happened to the book I asked you to write about Taizu's deeds in the winter before last?" ”

"Your Majesty, several people have written this script, but because it involves Taizu, everyone is extremely cautious, and I looked at what a few people wrote, and it doesn't look like a script, it looks like a biography."

"It must not be written as a biography." Yun Xi said. If you want to make a biography, the "Taizu Record" in the palace is enough, and the literary style must be much better than those literati who write scripts for a living. What Yunxi needs is a script that is close to the lives of ordinary people, not a high-ranking biography.

Luo Guanzhong obviously understood this reason, and said: "The grass people told them about this at the time, and told them that His Majesty would not be satisfied with writing like this. They themselves understood and wrote from scratch again. ”

"But the grass people still can't look at it. Looking at it repeatedly, only Wu Yuchao's "The Biography of the Founding Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" is not bad. ”

"The name is good, and the content is good. The others are all based on Taizu, and the others don't depict enough, which is actually not good. ”

Yun Xi also understands this truth. Just like Luo Guanzhong's own "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", whether it was Liu Bei as the protagonist in the previous version, or Cao Cao as the protagonist after Yunxi's order, it is not only focused on one person, but on multiple people, which is easy to highlight the protagonist.

None of these people have written novels before and have no experience in this, even if Luo Guanzhong reminds them to realize this problem, they can't solve it for a while.

Yun Xi said: "Then there is no such problem in this "The Heroic Rotation of the Founding of the Ming Dynasty" written by Wu Yuchao? ”

"Nope." Luo Guanzhong said: "Your Majesty, there is no problem for the grass people to dare to guarantee. ”

"How is it better than your "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

"This," Luo Guanzhong pondered for a while, and finally said, "I'm afraid, it's still a little worse." ”

"Then, Mr. Luo, how about writing this "Ming Heroes" yourself?"

Luo Guanzhong was a little bitter and said with some regret: "Your Majesty, the grass people are sixty-six this year, although they can still hold the pen, but if they are halfway ......through the writing, this is not something that can be written in a few years." Caomin wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that year, and wrote it for five years, and then deleted and modified it many times in the next ten years before the later "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I'm afraid Caomin didn't have time to finish writing this "Ming Heroes". ”

Of course, he is also willing to leave another heirloom for himself. Luo Guanzhong has a hunch that if this "Ming Heroes" is written enough, it will definitely be a more famous work than his "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the future. Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough time and energy anymore. He doesn't think he's going to die in a year or two, but he doesn't think he has another decade to refine the work.

Yun Xi listened to his words and felt very sorry in his heart. Even in the horizontal axis of the entire Chinese history, Luo Guanzhong is also one of the most talented writers, but unfortunately he does not have enough time.

Yun Xi said with some interest: "Then take Wu Yuchao's "Ming Heroes", no matter how much it has been written now, send it to the palace for me, and I will take a look." ”

Luo Guanzhong promised: "Yes, Your Majesty." "But he looked at Yun Xi's expression and thought: 'Do you really have no time to write this "Ming Heroes"?'

Yun Xi finished talking about "Ming Heroes", and he was a little depressed. But he picked himself up after a while, and he still had something to say.

At this time, after the gobbling up of the literati, there were not many dishes on the table, and most people were full. Seeing this, Yoon-hee decided to announce the final thing.

Yun Xi coughed, making them all realize that they had something to say, and after casting their eyes on them, he said: "I have decided to set up the Wenxuan Division, with the grade of the five grades, the chief official is the Si Zheng, and Luo Guanzhong is the Si Zheng, in charge of educating the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, but things are still exactly the same as what you are doing now." ”

They were excited again. Now that Luo Guanzhong has become the chief of the government, most of them also have an official seat. And they not only became officials, but also became officials because of the work they loved, and of course they were even happier.

At this time, someone asked: "Your Majesty, which yamen is in charge of this propaganda department?" ”

This is important. According to the name, it seems to be going to the Ministry of Rites. However, the Ministry of Rites, like the Hanlin Academy, is the main concentration of old scholars, and these people will definitely not be welcomed, and I am afraid that all aspects will be restricted.

They counted and counted, and felt that the best yamen in Beijing was the General Administration. The General Administration Department has no real power, so the chief official should not dare to offend this small yamen set up by Yun Xi.

But Yoon-hee's final decision surprised them. "I have decided to place the Wenxuan Division under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army, and like the Military Medical Department, it will be under the supervision of the judge Chen Xingshan."

Of course, Yunxi will not arrange it arbitrarily. Chen Xingshan is his absolute cronies, and there are no people who are full of prejudice against opera in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, so Yun Xi can rest assured that he will hand over the Department of Culture and Propaganda to Chen Xingshan.

After that, Yun Xi told them some things again, and seeing that it was not too early, he asked Wang Xi to send them out of the palace, and got up and went to Kunning Palace by himself.
