After sending Luo Guanzhong away, Yun Xi went to the front hall to approve the answer. In this more than an hour, he has accumulated a lot of votes and drafted folds, and it is not easy for Yun Xi to complete them before eating, and he needs to do it as soon as possible. After taking his seat where he usually handled the folds, he picked up his pen and began to write on the folds that had been drafted.

At this time, Xie Jin suddenly walked up to Yun Xi, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do with Your Majesty." ”

"What?" Yun Xi didn't raise his head and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister compiled the "Great Dictionary of the Ming Dynasty", and has collected most of the books in the world to the capital, even some unique and rare books have been obtained, but there is still a lack of books in the palace. Please put the books in the palace in the history museum for the time being, and ask the copyist to copy them and send them back to the palace. Xie Jin said.

"That's easy to say." Yun Xi picked up a piece of paper, brushed and wrote down the edict, handed it to Wang Xi and said, "You take someone to the inner study to take out all the books in my collection, make statistics and send them to the History Museum." ”

He said to Xie Jin: "These books are books that I like very much, and I will read them on weekdays, so you can't lose one." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not lose even a single page." Xie Jin said.

There are not many books hidden in the palace and not outside the palace, and an hour later, Yun Xi has already finished answering all the notes in front of him and is about to go to dinner, when Wang Xi and Xie Jin came to him again.

Xie Jin saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the prince has sent all the books in His Majesty's study to the History Museum. But there is a book that the minister had read before the Hongwu period but did not see it, and the minister ....... ”

"What book, what's the name?" Yun Xi interrupted.

"The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty." Xie Jindao.

"The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty? What book is this? Yunxi asked curiously. He had never heard of the book. And the title of this book immediately reminded him of some braided plays he had seen in his previous life.

It won't be a disgusting book like those plays, about the emotional entanglements of the Mongol Great Khans. Probably not, Grandpa Huang is not so boring, collecting such disgusting books. Yun Xi thought.

"Your Majesty, The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty is a book that recounts the founding of the Mongol State and some events before it. After Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, he created the Mongolian script of the Ugurs, modeled on the script of the Ughuls; When Ögedei, Guiyou, or Möngke were the Great Khans of the Mongols, they ordered the historians to compile the history of the Mongol state, which was named the "Secret History", and only the royal family was allowed to read it, even the Mongol ministers were not allowed to view it. ”

In the first year of Hongwu, King Zhongshan and King Kaiping led troops to capture Beiping, and copied the "Secret History" from the palace of the Yuan Dynasty. The first emperor ordered the "Secret History" to be translated into Chinese and named "The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty", with a total of 12 volumes and 282 chapters, which were hidden in the palace. Xie Jin said.

"The history books of Mongolia?" Yun Xi suddenly became a little interested and asked, "Do you remember what was written?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister probably remembers something."

The book is roughly divided into three parts, the first part records the ancestors of Genghis Khan, which is mixed with many legends, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false; The second part records the life of Genghis Khan, and the third part records the life of Ögedei. It is recorded in the book that it was written in the Year of the Rat, and most people speculate that it was written in the Year of Gengzi (1240 AD). Xie Jin said.

Yun Xi instructed: "Wang Xi, you go to the place where the first emperor used to read books back then, and find out if it is placed there." ”

Wang Xi was ordered to retreat. Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, this book is very important, there is only one book in the world that records the history of Mongolia, and because it records some secret things of the Mongolian royal family, even the Yuan Dynasty Imperial Palace has only one copy, and even the descendants of the Yuan Dynasty who have fled to the grassland now should not have it." Without this book in the palace, there would be no way to study the history of the Mongols. ”

"Oh, really?" Yun Xi's eyes flashed with an unknown light and said.

Xie Jin was guessing what Yun Xi's eyes meant, so Yun Xi stood up and said, "Xie Aiqing, it's already noon, Xie Qing should go to eat first, and I should also go to eat." If I find this book, I will definitely ask Wang Xi to tell Xie Qing. ”

Xie Jin also knew that it was useless for him to wait here, so he bowed to Yun Xi and stepped back and went to eat with Tyrant Zhao.

Yun Xi then came to the dining hall and started eating, but even the most dull person could see that he was very absent-minded, and he picked up the dishes several times, as if he wanted to put them to his mouth, but in the end he poked them in the face.

As soon as he finished eating, Wang Xi walked in with a book in his hand and said to him, "Your Majesty, I have found the Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty." ”

"This book was placed in the cabinet commonly used by the first emperor during his lifetime, and after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, because he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, he put these things commonly used by the first emperor into the cabinet and did not read them again. The minions couldn't find anywhere else to look for, so they found it at once. ”

Yun Xi took the book from Wang Xi's hand, opened it, and spent half an hour reading the whole book.

Yun Xi, who had finished reading the whole book, closed the book, muttered a few words to himself, and asked Wang Xi: "Are there any other manuscripts in the palace?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minions have not found any other manuscripts in the palace." Wang Xi said.

Yun Xi seemed to have made a great determination, and said to Wang Xi: "Bring the brazier." ”

When Wang Xi put the brazier in front of Yun Xi, Yun Xi made a move that surprised Wang Xi very much: he tore the book into pages and put it in the brazier.

'If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy your history. The Mongols had only one book to record history, and after burning it, the Mongols became a people without history, dating back to the time of Temujin. As long as the pride of the so-called golden family can be slowly extinguished, the Mongolian nation will completely lose its backbone, and there will be no possibility of revival. ’

Yun Xi thought maliciously in his heart: 'Temujin, or Ogedei, if there is really an underworld, what will you think when you see the books about your life completely annihilated in history under the Nine Springs, even if the Mongols still pass on some deeds by word of mouth, it is only a drop in the bucket?' Will you want to come back from the dead and slaughter Daming? It's a pity that you don't have that possibility. ’

"The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty" has three or four hundred thousand words, and there is a thick stack of books written with a brush, and the brazier in front of Yunxi is not big, even if Yunxi later brought a few braziers to burn together, it took a full hour for the four molecules to burn all the pages.

Yun Xi picked it with a wooden stick again, made sure that all the pages were burned to ashes, asked Huang Fu to take out the brazier, and said to Wang Xi: "In the afternoon, you told Xie Jin that you couldn't find this book." ”
