Chapter 381: Revision of Books

When I returned home, the exhaustion of my body slowly dissipated in the soft words of my wife and the laughter of my children.

Unconsciously, his son Zhang Ji was already able to walk tremblingly, but this little guy was too lazy, and he would cry and let the adults hug him when he walked a few steps. When Li Yu picked him up, the little guy was smiling. Let Zhirou, Wang Yan and Zhang Yunwen scold the little guy for being lazy, and at the same time stretch out their hands to hug him.

Holding Zhang Ji, Zhang Yunwen's gaze fell on Wang Yan's abdomen, sighed lightly, and then shook his head slightly. So far, Wang Yan's stomach still hasn't responded. For this reason, Wang Qu doesn't know how many times he has urged Zhang Yunwen. Every time, he gave a generous gift, and then vaguely urged Zhang Yunwen to get his granddaughter pregnant as soon as possible, so that he could hug his great-grandson.

Whenever he received this generous gift, Zhang Yunwen accepted the gift and threw the gift list to Wang Yan. Wang Yan read the last words of the gift list, and her face immediately turned red with shame. Then he stretched out two fingers in annoyance, pinched the soft flesh on Zhang Yunwen's waist, and twisted it fiercely.

In this way, before I knew it, the twelve years of Zhenguan were about to pass.

In the past few months, the battle between the East Palace and the Wei Palace, but it has gradually been revealed.

Because the twelfth year of Zhenguan was really eventful, he fought two battles with Gaochang Tubo. In this case, both Li Chengqian and Li Tai know to restrain themselves and try not to have any contradictions with each other. So it's safe. However, as soon as the battle of Gaochang ended, the crown prince Li Chengqian took the first step and included Helan Chushi in the East Palace, and indirectly tied Hou Junji to his chariot.

Although Hou Junji was removed from the post of secretary of the military department, the position in the army was not dismissed, but he was replaced by the general of the left guard to the general of the right guard. Prestige in the army remains. Of course, Hou Junji is not the only one who has changed. In November, the Twelve Guards were transferred one after another, and Li Ji, who was far away in Taiyuan, was also transferred back to Chang'an, replacing Hou Junji as the general of the Left Guard and the secretary of the military department.

The addition of Hou Junji made the strength of the East Palace camp swell suddenly.

In order to cope with this situation, Li Tai asked for the revision of the "Chronicles of the Ground" at the court meeting. If you only talk about the revision of the book, it is nothing, but this Li Tai said in the description of the ten provinces of the world, 358 states, 1,551 counties, learn from the scriptures and pass on the gazetteers, seek old news from the past, and detail the history of the construction of each political region, mountains, rivers, products, historic sites, customs, people, stories, etc., please make all the provinces, states, and counties in the world cooperate. In addition, please expand the library and recruit talents to revise this book together.

As soon as Li Tai's words fell, Zhang Yunwen caught a glimpse of the prince's face being extremely ugly.

If Li Tai completes this book, not to mention what height his influence in Shilin will reach, but also to say that this big expansion of the Library, the recruitment of talents and the cooperation of all the provinces, states, and counties in the world will make the strength of the Wei Wangfu soar.

It seems that after Li Chengqian absorbed Helan Chushi, Li Tai, the king of Wei, immediately began a fierce counterattack.

Li Shimin listened to Li Tai's recital, and his heart was slightly happy, the revision of this book is not only the revision of a geography book, but also a major combing of the entire Tang Dynasty, and its effect is very great. And in all dynasties, all the national strength has grown, and they have to revise books, or rebuild history books, or set up another program. Li Tai presided over the book revision, and Li Shimin was also relieved.

"Father, son, please play!" With the sound of the wooden staff gently hitting the wooden floor, Li Chengqian limped out of the ranks.

"Hmm, I wonder if the prince has anything to say?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, his heart was slightly unhappy, and his words were a little cold.

Li Chengqian was unconscious, saluted Li Shimin, and said: "The fourth brother dares to take on a big responsibility and repair books for the country, and this kind of spirit is really admired by his sons!" However, the fourth brother mentioned that the library was greatly expanded and the words of the heroes were recruited, and the sons did not dare to agree! Now in the Fourth Brother Literary Hall, there are many talents, including Xiao Deyan and others, almost half of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and the strength is not strong. If I recruit wise men again, I am afraid that outsiders will laugh at me, and I can't even repair a book, but I have to recruit people again! In addition, Erchen thought that it was also inappropriate for the fourth brother to ask all the provinces, states, and counties in the world to cooperate. If it is a local official, in order to repair the book for the sake of the fourth brother, and ignore the local administration, if this is the case, it is really not good. Therefore, the sons thought that the fourth brother sent people to collect the scriptures and geographical records from all over the place, so as not to disturb the people! ”

After listening to his words, Li Shimin's unhappiness in his heart disappeared a little, and he turned to look at Li Tai: "King Wei, what do you have to say!" ”

Li Tai was about to open his mouth to argue, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Xun on the side shaking his head gently in his direction, hesitated slightly, and finally said: "Big brother's words are also quite reasonable!" Wechen obeys it! ”

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Chengqian, who lowered his head, couldn't help but show a sneer.

After the dynasty dispersed, Li Tai looked at the back of Liu Xun leaving, couldn't help but catch up with him in two steps, and asked softly: "Old Liu, why didn't you let me refute the prince's words just now?" ”

Liu Xun looked around, but saw that the courtiers were almost the same, so he whispered: "Your Highness, the tree is a big wind!" Now that His Royal Highness has obtained the compilation of this "Chronicles of the Universe", he must stop it appropriately and not push the prince too quickly. Also, after the old man saw that the prince was speaking, His Majesty nodded slightly, and it seemed that His Majesty still agreed with the prince's opinion. So don't refute it easily! ”

"However, how can more than a dozen scholars in this royal mansion complete such a huge compilation work?" Li Tai said indignantly, "The eldest brother is too much, and he still wants me to send all the people in the mansion out, so isn't Chang'an his monopoly?" ”

"Be cautious, Your Highness be cautious!" Liu Xun said with a smile, "Now His Royal Highness and the East Palace are holding back their strength, striving to perform in front of His Majesty. His Royal Highness's revision of the "Chronicles of the Universe" is an opportunity to manifest itself. If the revision of this book had been completed with the people at hand, wouldn't it have made His Majesty look at it differently? In addition, didn't Your Majesty set a time limit for the completion of this book? Your Highness will drag on for six or seven years, and when Your Majesty asks, it depends on your performance, Your Highness! ”

Li Tai heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and smiled: "Liu Lao's meaning has been understood by this king!" Thank you Mr. Liu for your advice! ”

Liu Xun also smiled, saluted Li Tai, and left.

Li Tai looked back at the majestic hall behind him, which stood tall into the clouds, secretly clenched his fists, and strode away from here.

Li Chengqian's face was gloomy, he looked at the few cronies under the seat, was silent for a long time, and finally said indignantly: "The King of Wei has been approved by his father and is responsible for the revision of the book "The Chronicles of the Earth". Tell me, how is it good to be alone? ”

Su Gan Chengji and Helan Chushi glanced at each other, but they were all silent.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. Most of the people in front of him are military generals, if you talk about using your brains, you might as well be yourself!

At this time, a voice from outside the hall came from the inner attendant: "Your Highness, Lord Du asks to see you!" ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Don't hurry up and please!" ”

A moment later, a figure appeared by the door, it was Li Chengqian's teacher Du Zhenglun.

This Du Zhenglun once served as the crown prince and young master in the East Palace, and he can be regarded as Li Chengqian's teacher.

After Du Zhenglun sat down, he glanced around, and everyone in the room took the tea cup sent by Gong E, took a sip lightly, looked at Li Chengqian, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is worried about the affairs of King Wei?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded hurriedly, revealing an anxious expression: "Please also ask Du Lao to take the idea for the lonely!" ”

Du Zhenglun put down the teacup: "The old man is here for this matter!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Chengqian was immediately overjoyed: "I don't know what Old Du has to say?" ”

Du Zhenglun stroked the long white beard at his chin and said: "Hehe, King Wei, please revise the "Chronicles of the Kuodi", which is indeed a great achievement. However, before this "Chronicles of the Universe", there was still a book under revision. And this book, which has been successfully revised, is not satisfied with His Majesty! ”

Li Chengqian's heart moved: "What Elder Du said is the "Clan Chronicles"? ”

Du Zhenglun nodded, picked up the teacup and drank it again.

"Clan Chronicles" is a book dedicated to recording the genealogy of the clan, which covers all surnames in the country, compiles them, and divides the surnames in the world into numbers according to the standards of history, county prestige, and people. Its original intention was to erase the surnames of those once prominent Shandong Gaomen and Jiangnan clans from the Shi clan, suppress the strength of the Shi clan, and at the same time enhance the status of some Shu surnames.

However, Gao Shilian, Wei Ting, Cen Wenwen, Linghu Dedi and others, who were responsible for editing this book, did not have a good understanding of Li Shimin's meaning, or did not understand Li Shimin's meaning. After Li Shimin saw it, he was very dissatisfied, he pointed out: Shandong Shi clan "has declined for generations, and there is no crown", and they rely on marriage to get rich, "I don't understand what is important in the world?" He ordered Gao Shilian and others to re-publish it, and instructed that "it is not necessary to take the rank of today's officials and lords without discussing the number of generations."

And now, after the "Chronicles of the Clan" was rejected, Gao Shilian and others are preparing to revise it.

After listening to Du Zhenglun's hint, Li Chengqian suddenly woke up, yes, Li Tai can ask for a book to be revised, why can't he be alone? If Lone contributes to the revision of "Clan Chronicles" this time, firstly, he can please Li Shimin, and secondly, he can drink Gao Shilian, Wei Ting and others to get in touch. These people are the pillars of the imperial court!

But after thinking about it, the compilation of this "Clan Chronicles" may offend many people from big families, is it worth it?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian hesitated to ask Du Zhenglun: "Old Du, but this book is to revise the surnames in the world and arrange the family tree, which will definitely make many scholars dissatisfied, if they ......."

Li Chengqian said this, but he couldn't say it anymore. Because Du Zhenglun was looking at him with a sneer.

"Your Highness, think about it, was the position of the East Palace given by His Majesty, or was it given by those scholars? As long as Your Majesty is happy, what does it matter if you offend some scholars? Moreover, His Majesty's heart to suppress the scholars is resolute, and His Highness can stand in the same boat as His Majesty, which will also help His Highness to sit firmly on the chair under him! ”

Li Chengqian's face suddenly showed a sense of realization, and he got up and said, "Thank you Du Lao for your advice!" ”
