Li Yan's appointment of Li Qingzhao as a historian and the compilation of a grand canon soon spread, and then the literati were in an uproar, and then the great Confucians of the world criticized Li Yan for this improper practice!

The historian is just that.

Those literati were originally worried that Li Qingzhao, as Li Yan's concubine, would not be able to write directly and not hide his flaws.

Later, when the news came out, Li Qingzhao forced Li Yan to swear not to look at Li Qingzhao's records, and the attitude of the literati towards Li Qingzhao's appointment as a historian became acquiescence.

Why are you a Taoist like this?

In fact, after the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was forced to look at the living records, which caused all the emperors of later generations to check the history books, and in the Song Dynasty, the historians had to give the emperor to review before compiling them.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the history recorded is not distorted, and the fine tradition that dozens of generations of historians have adhered to for one or two thousand years has disappeared.

Now, Li Yan, a confident and open-minded emperor, and Li Qingzhao, a historian who adheres to the fine traditions of historical officials, are expected to recover the fine traditions that the Chinese have lost.

By the way, the reason why Li Yan dared to let Li Qingzhao truthfully record his life was because Li Yan had a good ...... To be precise, it is very satisfied with his second life, not afraid of what others say, and even wants people to comment, besides, the merits and demerits are not something that you can control with the pen of the historian, like Li Shimin Xuanwumen killed his eldest brother crown prince Li Jiancheng and fourth brother Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, forced his father Tang Gaozu Li Yuan to establish himself as the new crown prince and inherit the emperor's throne, occupy his sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and then like Zhao Kuangyin robbed his brother Chai Rong, who was a brother and sister, all of them are truthfully recorded in the annals of history, Therefore, it is better to be generous, let the historian remember, and let the descendants comment, which can also give yourself some warnings, after all, people have times when they are slack.

In the matter of Li Qingzhao serving as a historian, the literati gave in, but in the compilation of the great canon, the literati could not give in at all.

Collecting the books of the world to compile a great canon is a great temptation that all literati can't refuse.

Let's not mention that this will definitely go down in history, but only that in the process, you can see countless precious unique books and manuscripts, which are what many literati are eager for.

But Li Yan handed over such a position that everyone in the world wanted to hold to a woman, and moreover, she was a woman with a loss of morality!

Everyone in the world sympathizes with the weak, so no matter how Li Yan covers up Li Qingzhao, he can't hide the fact that Li Qingzhao does not abide by women's morals and is committed to other men.

In this day and age, this is a fatal wound for a woman—a mortal wound that can send a woman to eighteen layers of hell.

If it weren't for the fact that the person Li Qingzhao committed to was Li Yan, a world-renowned and domineering emperor, the world might have begun to denounce Li Qingzhao, or even force Li Qingzhao to death.

Now, for Li Yan's sake, hmm...... To be precise, it should be for the sake of Li Yan's face with the butcher's knife in his hand, and the literati temporarily let Li Qingzhao go.

But you Li Qingzhao can't be too uncounted, and you still want to get involved in the first epic ceremony in history?

How can those literati whose eyes are red with jealousy endure it any longer?

Therefore, the voices opposing Li Qingzhao's presiding over the revision ceremony soon appeared, and they became more and more intense, and there was a great tendency that Li Yan would not be willing to give up if he did not change people.

Let's go back to Li Yan.

At first, the reason why Li Yan moved the idea of compiling an all-encompassing canon was because Liu Qi and Han Shizhong sent back a mountain of books to Li Yan after defeating the Jin people who went south, and when Li Yan went to see it, he found that some of these books he had never heard of in his previous life, that is, these books may have all been lost in the long river of history, at that time Li Yan roughly looked through some books, and found that some of them were unheard of by later generations, and some theories were even thousands of years ahead of the West, especially some of the scientific works, even Li Yan, a person of later generations, couldn't help but look sideways, which made Li Yan sigh at the greatness of the Chinese at the same time, but also regret that they were lost in the long river of history, and then moved the idea of "it is better to collect them and then bring them to the grave and leave them to future generations".

After thinking about this for a lifetime, Li Yan soon remembered the two masterpieces of "Yongle Canon" and "Siku Quanshu", which summarized the world's books, and then gave birth to regret and contempt.

Former.

It is said that-

At that time, Zhu Di ordered to collect all the unique books in the folk collection, all kinds of books, except for the vulgar ones, there was one other book, all of which were used to repair the so-called new books.

And said to be repaired, in fact, it is plagiarism, for the collected information without any screening, all copied up, and at that time all used manual copying, and the process of manual copying is inevitably wrong.

The key is that in order to ensure the uniqueness of the "Yongle Canon", Zhu Di also ordered the destruction of the original versions of all the books, many of which were lost and never seen by future generations.

Moreover, after the compilation of the "Yongle Canon", Zhu Di did not let the world's readers read it - only one copy of the "Yongle Canon" was compiled, and this book was also hidden by Zhu Di in the deep palace as a symbol of Zhu Di's martial arts.

Many people say that "Yongle Canon" is just a fig leaf for Zhu Di, and folk students, and even courtiers in the court, can't see this book at all, and many cultures have been completely lost since the book appeared.

In addition, there is also a saying that after Zhu Di died, "Yongle Canon" was used as Zhu Di's funeral goods into the mausoleum, and no one in his successor was willing to leave this book as an academic reference for future generations.

There is also a theory that the reason why Zhu Di revised the "Yongle Canon" was to keep up with his father Zhu Yuanzhang in everything (including the content and method of repairing the book) and strengthen his own legitimacy, but in the final analysis, it was due to a weak heart.

And no matter which of these two situations it is, it can be said that Zhu Di's purpose in compiling the "Yongle Canon" is not pure - the birth of the "Yongle Canon" is just that Zhu Di used some other merits to cover up Zhu Di's own weakness in order to cover up the fact that he usurped the throne.

Therefore, according to these people, the value of the "Yongle Canon" is actually not very large, and it is just a crude political tool of the emperor.

Regardless of the purpose of those who say such things.

But there are a few facts that are indisputable.

First, when compiling the "Yongle Canon", it was not reviewed and improved again and again as when the "Siku Quanshu" was revised, and there was a suspicion of shoddy production.

Second, the "Yongle Canon" did not copy seven parts by hand like the "Siku Quanshu" (plus the original manuscript, a total of eight parts), and then divided them into hidden places.

Third, after the "Yongle Canon" was completed, it was not allowed to be read, and ordinary readers, and even ministers of the DPRK and China, could only hear its books, but could not see its contents, which also made the "Yongle Canon" lose its greatest value.

Fourth, Zhu Di should not have ordered the destruction of the original editions of all books, which made many cultures resounding.

The most regrettable thing is that in later generations, the vast majority of the "Yongle Canon" was lost, only four percent remained.

This is a huge loss of civilization that humanity can never make up.

That...... Does it mean that "Siku Quanshu" is stronger than "Yongle Canon"?

Fart!

Qianlong's cultivation of the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book" was more attentive than Zhu Di's cultivation of the "Yongle Canon", and he also produced as many as eight books, and even most of them were passed on to later generations.

But these simply can't hide some of the worse facts.

This even worse fact is that during the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu", the Qing court greatly promoted the literary prison.

For example, in the 39th year of Qianlong, Qianlong forbade Qu Dajun's poems and articles to be compiled into the "Siku Quanshu", and also dug down Qu Dajun's grave.

The so-called "disobedient language" generally exists in three situations:

First, scholars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties expressed certain sentiments against Manchu rule in their poems;

the second is the text of missing the Ming Dynasty;

The third is not to avoid the obscurity of the Qing Dynasty when writing poems, such as Huang, Xuan, Ye, Yin and other words can not be used casually, and when they cannot be avoided, they need to use the method of missing or adding pens.

In fact, more often than not, it was the chasing and far-fetched behavior of the supreme ruler at that time.

For example, Zhou Lianggong has a poem "The breeze is illiterate, why bother flipping through the books", which was originally just an occasional feeling: when reading in the summer, the wind blowing from the window turned the book he was reading upside down.

But the supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty thought that he was ridiculing the Manchus for being illiterate, and then disposed of Zhou Lianggong, how wronged!

And every time there is a literary prison, a large number of precious classics are lost.

Qianlong's edict: "Among them, there is a collection of books by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and those whose words contradict this dynasty should be destroyed." The verses were submitted by the governors, and the ministers of the Imperial Pavilion were carefully reviewed, and I was reinstated when I entered the personal review, and felt that there was a must to distinguish those who were screened, such as Qian Qianyi in the Ming Dynasty, and returned to the dynasty; And Jinbao and Qu Dajun followed the trail again, and they all thought that they could not die, and they lived with a beautiful face, which was a famous and reckless country. His people are not enough, and his books can not be restored! We should find out in detail and destroy them all, so as to encourage the ministers and correct the hearts of the people. ”

Although the reason is high-sounding, in essence, in order to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty and maintain the supreme dignity of his Qianlong Lord, he Qianlong Lord wants to destroy the book.

Moreover, if he says that he will destroy it, he will destroy it, and he will not destroy it according to the book, but by the kind, and he doesn't want his original intention of repairing the "Siku Quanshu" at all.

According to the bibliography contained in the "Book Series":

There are more than 2,000 kinds of ancient books destroyed by the Qing court.

Even some stone carvings in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, such as offenders, must be worn out, and the destroyed stone tablets and cliff stone carvings have seven kinds in Shandong and fourteen kinds in Shanxi.

In order to implement this policy of cultural autocracy, Qianlong and his close ministers even listed the "List of Forbidden Books" - after completing the compilation of the whole book, the Siku Pavilion Ministers also listed the "List of Uncollected Books of the Four Libraries".

Compared with Qianlong, in the process of compiling and revising the "Yongle Canon", there was no literary prison that banned or destroyed books, and there was no intentional tampering with the selected books, and even the reference books needed were basically purchased by the imperial court, and Zhu Di, who did not use power to coerce and induce bibliophiles to donate voluntarily, I don't know how many times stronger.

Throughout the "Yongle Canon" and "Siku Quanshu", there are shortcomings of one kind or another, and the final result is to leave regrets for mankind and let mankind lose civilization.

Li Yan does not have the concerns that Zhu Di is not in the right position, and he is a Han man with good roots, so he doesn't have to be like Qianlong who wants to be a bitch and want to set up a memorial arch, and more importantly, Li Yan is the founding emperor, and may even be the first emperor of the ages, so Li Yan does not have any psychological burden.

In other words, Li Yan does not have the same political goals as Zhu Di and Qianlong, he just wants to preserve human civilization and human culture.

To be honest, before this, Li Yan actually didn't take this as a big deal - in later generations, as long as a person has a computer or even just a mobile phone, he can write a book and compile a book, what a big deal, even if it is a great canon.

And Li Qingzhao is the first talented woman in the ages, she has been brilliant since she was a child, her articles are elegant and ancient, the poets are rich, and her calligraphy is exquisite, so she is very suitable for sorting out and compiling this canon.

Therefore, Li Yan casually handed over the matter to Li Qingzhao.

But I don't want to, it's not a big deal in Li Yan's eyes, but it is regarded as a big thing by the literati, and he wants to force Li Yan to change people.

What's up?

If you want me to be replaced, I must be replaced as an emperor?

This world makes you literati count?

Have you forgotten how the Northern Song Dynasty died?

It's not just that the emperor has no opinion.

Therefore, not to mention that Li Qingzhao is competent for the post of revising the canon, that is, Li Qingzhao is not competent for the post of revising the canon, in this case, Li Yan must not be replaced, otherwise, he, the emperor, will not speak like a fart in the future?

In other words, even if this matter is really Li Yan's mistake, in order to maintain Li Yan's own majesty, Li Yan must carry out this mistake to the end.

Therefore, just as the literati were waiting for Li Yan to take back his fate, Li Yan suddenly ordered:

The original Caijing Mansion was painted as a place to compile the grand ceremony.

It was repaired by Li Qingzhao as the director.

Ten high-ranking officials hand-picked by Li Yan and one hundred great Confucian officials of the time served as supervisors and presidents - the ten high-ranking officials are also famous Confucians, including Chen Gongfu, Li Guang, and Hu Quan. One hundred great Confucians in the world are all the world's leading Confucians, each famous in the world.

The new science and technology jinshi, and the famous Confucian of the world, served as a compiler, and there was no upper limit on the number of people, all of whom were determined by the director of Xiu Li Qingzhao.

Temporarily allocate 1,000 students to listen to the use - those who show outstanding performance will be promoted to official positions.

Officials in all localities were ordered to buy books circulating in the market at an affordable price.

Borrow the book of the world - those who are willing to borrow it, report their round-trip expenses, and give a high subsidy, and record their names on the canon, and pass them on with the canon, and those who have made great contributions (such as borrowing many books, such as borrowing books are precious), will be rewarded as appropriate, and once the transcription is completed, the original classics will be returned immediately.

If there is a book that refuses, it will also be recorded in the canon, and it will be stinky with the canon for 10,000 years, and all the members of his family (nine clans) will never be hired by the court, "Do you have a lone book in your hand and refuse to lend it to the court to copy?" Okay, then you can keep it, but I will let future generations know: the lone book is in your hands, if you lose it, then you will bear the endless abuse of future generations. Moreover, you and your family should never want to be officials in my high school. ”

Revised one canon and copied nine copies.

After the book was completed, people from all over the world were allowed to borrow and print it.

Start compiling the Great Ceremony now!

……

As soon as Li Yan's order came out, the literati were in an uproar!

It's good that they didn't make trouble, but when they made a fuss, Li Yan directly appointed Li Qingzhao as the director of repair, and immediately began to revise this epic canon.

Moreover, the names of many troublemakers are also on the list of recruits.

What made these great Confucians even more angry and frightened was that it didn't take long for Jinyiwei to come and "invite" them to go and repair the ceremony.

This incident undoubtedly caused Li Yan's reputation among the literati to drop a lot.

But Li Yan didn't care at all.

Joke!

Li Yan is not afraid that everything he has done will be truthfully written into the history books, is he still afraid that the literati of the current world will say a few words?

Moreover, thousands of years of experience told Li Yan that when doing things with literati, you can't discuss, how can you say that, Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work in three years, and when you did things with literati, you had to have a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, if this kind of thing can't be done, then let the carrot be sweet and the stick thicker, and it will be successful.

In other words, Li Yan is actually still the original Li Yan - Li Yan, who is extremely purposeful and can even do whatever it takes to achieve things.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Yan has the confidence to do this.

Now, Li Yan has recovered the territory originally occupied by the Jin people in the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the Chinese army has also recovered Pingzhou, and is preparing to fully recover Yanyun, forcing the Southern Song Dynasty to send envoys to beg for surrender, forcing the Western Xia to send envoys to Dazhong to make friends, and even forcing the Jin people to ask to sit down and talk with Dazhong, Dazhong now has more territory than the Northern Song Dynasty, and the situation is very good, and it is expected to catch up with the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Under such circumstances, how could these small things affect Li Yan's rule?

And Li Yan can also take this opportunity to knock and knock on those literati who are used to being boundless by Zhao Song.

Therefore, in terms of reasonableness, Li Yan has to support Li Qingzhao to the end.
