Ma Wensheng is the secretary of the military department and a veteran of the Five Dynasties, and he can be described as a man of his word in the court, he is not used to Xu Qiong's attitude of not facing history squarely, just an understatement, and Xu Qiong was choked speechless.

According to Xu Qiong's meaning, the classics that disappeared for four years in the history of the Ming Dynasty were contrary to the national policy formulated by Taizu, and had no reference value at all, so they were characterized as dross, and they could be discarded.

Ma Wensheng was-for-tat, the world was in turmoil during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and there were few virtuous emperors in the country, so according to your point of view, you should give up the dross, and this history will not need to be repaired?

History is used to record, since we want to revise the "Ming Huidian", we must record all the rules and regulations since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and we can't deliberately not mention it because some of the canonical political struggles have been abolished, otherwise this "Daming Huidian" is a "filthy history", which will be ridiculed by later historians.

Xu Qiong and Ma Wensheng are both old ministers, and their personal relationship in the court is not bad, but at this time, Ma Wensheng was so aggressive, which made Xu Qiong lose face, and immediately said nothing with a black face.

Jiao Fang stood up to defend Xu Qiong: "Ma Shangshu ignored a problem, even if he wants to repair it, I'm afraid it's not easy to repair, right?" After the martyrdom, most of the classics were abolished and burned, and now there is no archive in the Hanlin Academy, if you want to revise it, it will definitely prolong the period of writing the "Huidian", which will make the "Huidian" lose its color, and it is even more undesirable. ”

Ma Wensheng was full of energy, squinted at Jiao Fang opposite with a smile, and did not speak, but his eyes clearly said what he wanted to express: You haven't cultivated yet, how do you know that it's not easy to cultivate? Or are you afraid that a series of political problems will arise from the revision of this historical code system, so you will confuse the public here?

Because Marven came forward, the problem fell into a stalemate again, and it also made the smell of gunpowder in the Wenhua Hall thicken.

When Zhu Youzhu saw that the scene was deadlocked, he had the intention of resting the feast, but the problem was that he took the initiative to put it forward, and if it ended in vain, it was a little unreasonable.

Fortunately, there are ministers who can observe words and emotions next to him, and the representative figure is Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang saw that Emperor Hongzhi looked hesitant, and with his understanding of the Son of Heaven, he immediately got up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is necessary to revise the "Huidian" and not to make any errors or omissions in the historical materials. ”

Li Dongyang is called "Li Gongju", because he has the ability to make a final decision on some indecisive matters, he obviously will not lean to either side on this kind of issue, because this will destroy fairness or system, on the one hand, the rigorous attitude that a person who repairs history should have, and on the other hand, the legitimacy of Emperor Taizong's succession to the throne, are all issues that should not be underestimated, so Li Dongyang simply proposed to let the Hanlin Academy sort out all the classics between the 32nd and 35th years of Hongwu, and then see if it is necessary to revise this history.

It sounds reasonable, but Li Dongyang cleverly dodged a question, that is, naming the Jianwen era is tantamount to going against the original intention of Emperor Hongzhi to hold this feast.

Even the scholar Li Dongyang spoke, and his words were reasonable, and the princes and nobles and the ministers of civil and military affairs present at the scene, including Xu Qiong, Ma Wensheng and others who had the dispute just now, also stopped talking. Zhu Youzhu sighed lightly and asked in a loud voice, "What do you think?" ”

Xu Qiong took the lead in saluting: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." More ministers came forward, in fact, like Li Dongyang, they were the grass on this issue.

The officials of the Hanlin Academy were of low rank, they were already recorders, and they were not qualified to express their opinions, and in the end, Shen Xi, like the colleagues of the Hanlin Academy around him, got up and said "second", and the matter should be revealed.

In the end, Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu did not express his position, but fortunately he did not betray the person who wrote the notebook.

The feast ended in this discordant atmosphere, Honglu Temple Qing went out of the class and knelt in the hall, first praised, and waited for the praise to finish, including Shen Xi, the east and west officials turned from opposite directions to face the north where the emperor's throne was located, waiting for the Hongzhi Emperor's instructions.

Usually at this time, the emperor will have two choices, let the hundred officials leave the palace, or stay to give food. I only heard Zhu Youzhu raise his hand and order: "Be one with the officials of the feast, and eat every wine and meal." ”

Shen Xi hurriedly followed behind the other officials and knelt down to thank him.

When Shen Xi kowtowed, Emperor Hongzhi had already gotten up and left, and after a while, Shen Xi got up and returned to the table, packed up the content of the recorded feast, took it with him, and sorted it out again after he went back, these may be the manuscripts needed to repair the history of Emperor Hongzhi in the future.

Coming out of the Wenhua Palace, Shen Xi followed other officials to have a "working meal", and Guanglu Temple held a banquet in the east of the Fengtian Temple to entertain all the officials who participated in the feast, although the food was not as good as the palace banquet that day, but at least it was much better than the weekday lunch of the Hanlin Academy.

During the meal, some officials whispered about the notebook, speculating about whose hand this notebook came from?

According to the opinion of the officials of the Hanlin Academy, the most likely person to enter the recital was Wang Wei, and Xie Qianben was the most suspicious object, but he was the "forwarder", and if the emperor asked the auxiliary political university scholar to write such a recital, it would be "making a big fuss".

Wang Zan said: "Needless to say, the next person in charge of the academy is the one who wrote this notebook." ”

Someone nodded in agreement.

Shen Xi only listened to it as a joke, he thought that he was fortunate not to be demoted and punished this time, and he didn't dare to ask for anything else. Moreover, Shen Xi knew that he was used as a spearman by Emperor Hongzhi, and Xie Qian and Wang Wei acted in such a play under the instruction of Zhu Youjiao, but in fact, the initiator was the emperor who was high.

……

……

In the afternoon, when I returned to the Hanlin Academy, all the Hanlin had to submit the manuscripts that they had sorted out, because there was no shorthand method in those years, and it was obviously impossible to record every word completely.

However, Shen Xi was able to recall a little afterwards, so he listed what he heard in detail, and when all the manuscripts were handed over to Zhu Xizhou, Zhu Xizhou read more than ten pages, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Xi in surprise, but he didn't say anything, and it wasn't until he got off work at dusk that he found an opportunity to say to Shen Xi: "I didn't expect Shen Xiu to be so attentive, and your share is probably worthy of all the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy." ”

Shen Xi saluted and said, "Brother Mao Zhong praises it." ”

Zhu Xizhou and Shen Xi went out of the Hanlin Academy, and talked about their family life all the way.

From Zhu Xizhou's time with Shen Xi, he has felt that Shen Xi's ability is extraordinary, even if Shen Xi seems to be a little lazy on weekdays, but in the revision of the "Daming Huidian", all the manuscripts sorted out by Shen Xi's hands can not find any faults, and even Shen Xi will make some "repairs" to the original revised canons, and it was later proved that Shen Xi's added content was not made up out of thin air, but errors and omissions in different historical records, and today he found that Shen Xi has the ability to "never forget", and he wants to be closer to Shen Xi.

Because the promotion assessment of the Hanlin Academy is coming, Zhu Xizhou will be promoted to a waiter or a lecturer if nothing else, he has stood in the position of "Shangguan", hoping to have a good relationship with Shen Xi, a "subordinate", and pave the way for his future development in the Hanlin Academy.

“…… Shen Xiu, do you think that the recital presented at the sutra banquet is from Xie Ge Lao or Bachelor Wang? ”

Zhu Xizhou suddenly asked Shen Xi about this, and many people expressed their opinions before, but Shen Xi seemed to be indifferent to this.

In fact, Shen Xi had nothing to say, after all, he was the one who wrote the recital, and he couldn't tell the truth yet.

Shen Xi shook his head, on the surface, he said that he didn't know, but what he really wanted to express was neither.

Zhu Xizhou sighed: "It seems that Your Majesty wants to ask about the old things of the end of Hongwu, it is strange to say, a few days ago, Master Wang asked someone to sort out some of the codes of the late Hongwu and the early years of Yongle with Shen Xiu, and Shen Xiu finally sorted out and submitted?" ”

The reason why everyone in the Hanlin Academy suspected that Wang Wei wrote this book was mainly because Wang Wei suddenly proposed some rules and regulations during the Hongwu and Yongle periods at the scripture banquet.

After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor likes to let the officials of the scriptures and feasts of the previous dynasties talk about the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Training", "Ancestral Training", "Taizu Imperial System" and the "Records" and "Sermons" of various generations of emperors, but Wang Wei directly grabbed the Ming Dynasty classics in the years before Taizu's death and the first few years of Yongle to talk about things, plus he asked the people of the Hanlin Academy to help sort out the rules and regulations of this history, so that people felt that he was "prepared".

It's just that Zhu Xizhou and others didn't expect that Shen Xi, who helped Wang Wei sort out these copywritings, was the "culprit".

Shen Xi didn't reply this time, but nodded heavily.

At this point, Zhu Xizhou thought that Shen Xi had handed over the information to Wang Wei after sorting it out, but the fact was that Shen Xi had written a notebook and presented it to Emperor Hongzhi after sorting it out.

Even if Shen Xi wants to cover up the fact that he wrote the notebook, he can't say it too clearly, because sooner or later the matter will be revealed, if he intends to deceive now, Zhu Xizhou and the others will question him when he turns around, didn't you say that this matter has nothing to do with you? People don't have faith, they don't know what they can do?

But Shen Xi just shook his head and nodded, even if Zhu Xizhou and the others found out that they had been deceived, Shen Xi could explain wrongfully...... I'm sorry, it's not that I deliberately deceived you, but the emperor didn't let me say it, so I kept silent, I have actually expressed it vaguely, but you didn't understand it accurately.

Zhu Xizhou sighed again: "Now Your Majesty has asked the Hanlin Academy to sort out the classics after 31 years of Hongwu, which is really tricky." ”

Shen Xi asked, "Isn't there any relevant content sealed in the library of the Hanlin Academy?" ”

Zhu Xizhou shook his head helplessly: "When I was repairing the book earlier, I searched many times but couldn't find it, didn't Shen Xiushu help Bachelor Wang sort it out yourself?" ”

"Now that a hundred years have passed since the incident, I suddenly mentioned Jingnan...... If it is not properly sorted out and angers Your Majesty, I am afraid that the whole of my Hanlin Academy will be relocated. Shen Xiushu would also have better read more classics when he goes back in the next few days to see if there are any written records that can come in handy. ”

Shen Xi promised that this matter would not be difficult for him, because he had some understanding of the new policies promulgated during the Jianwen period of the Ming Dynasty, and he also knew who made the records and which classics could be consulted.

It's just that these classics will not gradually appear in the world until the Wanli period for Jianwen to restore the year name, even if the people have a collection, it is in the hands of a few bibliophiles, but Shen Xi quickly thought of a person, who would definitely be able to help him, but this person lives a little far, but he believes that this person will come to the capital in the near future.
