On October 15 of the first year of Yongle, the sky was fine. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The bright sunlight reflected the entire palace with a vibrant scene, as if the slaughter and bloody atmosphere of half a moon ago had long been buried in the long river of history by the wind of coming and going, as if it had never happened.

In the solemn palace, in the golden hall, the emperor is sitting majestically on the dragon chair, looking down on the ministers.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu in the twenty-first year of Hongwu once wanted to order the scholars of the court to compile and revise a book that collected the words of a hundred schools. However, for some reason, the book could not be completed. Now, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, the minister believes that His Majesty should fulfill the wish of the first emperor during his lifetime, collect the words of a hundred schools, and let future generations read them." A long-bearded official in a black splendid court robe spoke up.

As soon as these words came out, the emperor also frowned slightly, and thought a little in his heart.

Emperor Taizu did indeed want to compile a great canon.

But because of a series of things that the person did twenty years ago, it eventually led to the failure of the ceremony, and also led to the bloody storm that year.

And now, the past has come to an end, and the rest is the matter of the prosperous era of book repair.

So, I saw the man on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my father wanted to leave a book for future generations when he was alive, but he was too busy to put the book on the agenda. Passing on the order, I ordered Xie Jin to preside over the compilation of the canon. This book needs to include all the classics in the world. Even, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, monks, skills...... I once again ordered Qin to command the envoy to assist the first assistant."

At this moment, the emperor's golden eyes were passing through His Highness's ministers, through the wooden door of the main hall, and into the sky far away.

It was as if he was in conversation with his father, who had died young.

"If you don't give it to me in this world, I will take it for myself. If you don't do anything in this world, I will do it for you."

.....................

........

In the afternoon, in the study of the inner courtyard of the palace.

An elderly bald monk is sitting opposite the emperor and playing chess.

The monk held a black chess piece in his hand, but he could not fall for a long time, because his mind was never on the chessboard.

"Your Majesty, the overall situation seems to have been decided today, but if Emperor Jianwen is not found, the world will not be peaceful for a day. And if the imperial court does not find Emperor Jianwen for a day, those who have different intentions will not be at ease to assist Your Majesty for a day." The monk said calmly.

He's right.

Although, most of the people in the world thought that Emperor Jianwen had self-immolated and died.

But he knew very well that the corpse in the imperial city that day was an illusion at all.

In addition, at present, most of the courtiers in the court are still from the previous dynasty.

Therefore, no one dares to guarantee that if Emperor Jianwen returns again, these people will fall to each other like grass on the wall.

………

Regarding the old monk's concerns, the emperor said "It's okay" with a blank face.

After that, he first dropped the white son into the chessboard, and then calmly said, "The world is so big, if even such dissident people can't tolerate it, it will make me suspicious."

Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to care about this, the monk thought to himself, "Your Majesty is far-sighted, I'm afraid I have already made a plan."

After thinking about it, he stopped mentioning it, but spoke

"The minister still has a concern."

"Speak".

The old monk thought about it for a while, and then said.

"For thousands of years, the people in the rivers and lakes were not controlled by the imperial court. In particular, the major sects headed by the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism occupy each mountain and live on their own, pretending to cultivate the Tao, but in fact it is against the outline of the dynasty. And the first emperor wanted to weaken the strength of the major sects in the name of repairing books, but in the end, it was not possible. Therefore, the minister believes that the matter of repairing the book should not be rushed."

Indeed, what he said was true.

The rivers and lakes and the imperial court are like two worlds, which do not interfere with each other.

The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court has the laws of the imperial court.

But there are often times when the rules on the rivers and lakes will violate the laws of the imperial court.

It's like the rules of duels on the rivers and lakes.

But this duel is deadly.

If it can be done according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the winner of the duel will not be subject to reprisals, nor will he be subject to any criminal law.

And this is one of the conflicts between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court.

After all, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this murderer must be severely punished.

It's just that in this world, there are too many sects, and the power is quite powerful.

Therefore, even Emperor Taizu, as the founding monarch, could not shake the interests of these sects.

……

The emperor's sharp eyes were looking thoughtfully at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard.

Although he did not participate in the incident twenty years ago, he was very clear about what the people in the rivers and lakes did.

He knew why his father had failed, and he also knew the weaknesses of the Jianghu sect.

So, I saw him say in a cold voice.

"I have my own arrangement".

……

In fact, among today's Jianghu sects, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are the most powerful.

Buddhism cultivates Buddhism, all monks, more than 1,000 disciples, and in recent years, after those big people passed away one after another, Buddhism has a faint trend of the first sect in the world.

The Taoist sect is the same, the sect is full of cultivators, and there are also more than 1,000 disciples in the sect, and each of them is profound, not ordinary people.

And Confucianism, because of the disagreements within the sect, led to the sect being divided into two, the Zhengwu Gate only cultivating martial arts, and the Chaotian Gate only cultivating literature.

Therefore, if we talk about the strength of the disciples in the sect, Confucianism is inferior to the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism.

However, in the past hundred years, the people of Confucianism have accepted the control of the imperial court, and have changed from a secular sect to a sect under the protection of the imperial court.

Therefore, it is still unclear which one is stronger and which is weaker.

……

……

Inside the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon.

A fat, amiable, weak-crowned man was drinking tea in the garden.

Sitting opposite him was the same official who was in the court today to advise the emperor on his writings.

This person's name is Xie Jin, and he worships the head of the cabinet, and after Fang Xiaoru's family was killed, he became the head of the civil officials.

However, he also has another identity, he is also the master of the Confucian Chaotian Gate.

"Your Highness, the Holy Majesty ordered the ministers to preside over the compilation of the great ceremony at the time of the early dynasty today, and collect what the world has to say, so as to set the record straight. Qin Weiming, on the other hand, will assist his ministers in collecting classics." Xie Jin, said respectfully.

As soon as these words came out, the obese man did not answer directly, but took a sip of tea slowly and ate some melon seeds and snacks. Cai Dao said, "The father is thoughtful, and ordinary people can't reach him." My father ordered you to compile a canon, presumably because the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have been growing stronger recently, which can be described as a major hidden danger in the imperial court. And this matter of repairing the book, I think it must be to cut the strength of the two sects."

After speaking, he took another sip of tea and continued, "Qin Weiming is the master of the Zhengwu Sect today, if you join forces with him. In the future, Confucianism will definitely be the first sect in the world. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Jin secretly said in his heart at the moment, "The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have expanded their fiefdoms and recruited people in recent years, which is not a good thing for Confucianism. And today, the Holy God has ordered me to revise and compile a book, which is a great opportunity for my Confucianism."

In recent decades, although Confucianism is still as famous as Buddhism and Taoism, only the disciples in the sect know about it.

In fact, the gap in strength between Confucianism and Buddhism and Taoism has become wider and wider.

Since he had received the prince's approval, Xie Jin naturally knelt down respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your kind words." ”
