In fact, with Yang Zongzhi's wisdom, how can he not know the difficulty of overturning the case for Yang Tinghe, the former first assistant of the cabinet, and Yang Shen, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. How not to know that as soon as this book comes out, it will be a great risk for him.

But the intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty were all arrogant, or sometimes stubborn. In the late Ming Dynasty, scholars and doctors were even proud of being crowned with the emperor and being served as a staff in public. What's more, they did everything possible to displease the emperor in order to gain great fame, and by that time, they had already gone mad.

Yang Zongzhi wrote this book, maybe he also had this kind of thought. Perhaps, alarming Jinyiwei, and then the emperor, is exactly what he wants.

Thinking like this, it's already a bit damning.

In this kind of environment, if Wu Jie said something to Yang Zongzhi, such as Mingzhe to protect himself, it would not only be an insult to him, but also a shame to the world.

Rather than that, Mo Ruo closed his mouth and sighed.

Wu Jie can only hope that Yang Zongzhi's new book will not make too much remarks to attract the attention of the emperor.

However, with the status of the Yang family in the minds of scholars, is it possible to have an old grudge with Jiajing for three generations of the Yang family?

This matter has to start with the political event of the "Great Rites Discussion" when Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne.

The Great Rites Discussion refers to the controversy that occurred between the 16th and 17th years of Zhengde on the imperial system, the imperial examination, and the national capital, during which it involved Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Cong, the first assistant of the cabinet, etc., for more than 10 years, the political situation of the imperial court was turbulent, the officials of various factions attacked each other, and countless people were shot and fell, which was an unprecedented political event in the early years of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor before Jiajing, died young, because he had no heirs, the ministers according to the principle of brother to brother and brother, let Zhu Houxuan, the son of Xingxian Wang, inherit the unification, which is the current Jiajing Emperor.

After Emperor Jiajing entered Beijing from Hubei, the ministers had a debate about what etiquette to greet Jiajing, and finally, under the instruction of Yang Tinghe, it was decided to ascend the throne as the crown prince.

But I didn't expect that this was a jealousy of Jiajing, he was a good son of the king, his parents were still there, but now he was going to make a son for his cousin, like words?

And Emperor Jiajing was a king with a strong surname to the point of paranoia, so he naturally had a fierce conflict with Yang Tinghe and others.

Later, the emperor wanted to give his deceased father the title of emperor and enter the Taimiao. An ordinary vassal king actually wants to become an emperor, which is simply unacceptable to Yang Tinghe and others. As a result, Yang Tinghe and more than 60 other important ministers of the ministry and court opposed it one after another, forcing the emperor to withdraw this holy decree.

In this way, this ** can be regarded as a preliminary subsidence.

But because of this incident, Emperor Jiajing deeply realized the power of his ministers and the decline of imperial power. When Jiajing grew up day by day and his position was stable, he finally freed up his hands to clean up those disobedient ministers.

By this time, Jiajing finally showed superb political skills, supported a large number of capable but unambitious ministers such as Zhang Cong and Xia Yan, and finally firmly grasped the power in his hands after Yang Tinghe and others were dismissed and exiled.

The Yang family declined at that time, but even so, as the solar term of scholars, the Yang family is still a symbol of the backbone and justice of the scholars all over the world, and its reputation is getting louder and louder.

In fact, in Wu Jie's view, the Great Rites Discussion is ostensibly a difference of opinion between the successor or the heir, and it is a struggle between the monarchy and the imperial power. And there is never the slightest room for compromise in political struggles, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. But in the feudal society, compared with the king, the courtiers are congenitally at a disadvantage, how can they fight?

Fortunately, Yang Zongzhi's works have not yet been officially published and distributed, and Wu Jie is also busy taking the exam and has not been deeply involved, so there will be something in the future, and it will not have much impact on him.

However, Yang Zongzhi is his fiancée's uncle after all, so naturally he can't watch him have an accident.

Yang Zongzhi's new book is called "The Collection of Tibetan Seas", a total of three volumes, including more than 30 articles written during his time in Yunnan, only one volume has been engraved so far, and the other two are still in preparation.

The first volume of Wu Jie has probably been scanned, although there are a lot of inappropriate places, but I can't find a big fault, if there is a problem, it should be in the next two volumes, for the sake of stability, or find out the last two volumes.

After Yang Zongzhi left, Wu Jie did not dare to delay, so he went to the front yard and asked the craftsman for the original manuscript.

Today, Yang Zongzhi's house in Chengdu has become a large workshop, full of craftsmen busy at work, and several students of Mumashan Academy are transcribing in pavilion style one by one, and their eyes are almost on the paper. Compiling books has always been a matter that requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and I think that Ming Chengzu made the central government financially tight in order to compile the "Yongle Canon", and he almost couldn't even pay the salaries of officials.

Similarly, in order to compile this book for Yang Zongzhi, the Tang family even took out the silver hidden in the cellar, which caused many complaints from the Tang family.

This was the first time Wu Jie had come into contact with the printing industry in the Ming Dynasty, and he was curious, and couldn't help but talk with several craftsmen and scholars sent by the academy to proofread.

Wu Jie is now very famous, and everyone naturally does not dare to make a mistake, and they all have to answer questions.

There are some differences from the real history, most of the wood carving printing before the Sui Dynasty was used, and a book that was not thick was printed, and the woodcut engraving plate alone had to be installed in two rooms. By the time of the David Dynasty, a eunuch surnamed Feng pioneered clay type printing. Unfortunately, the service life of clay type is too short, and the printing effect is blurry. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, most of the copper movable type was used, among which the copper movable type of Wuxi Hua's and An's was the most famous.

The book engraving industry in the Ming Dynasty was a prosperous period of publishing industry and printing technology in ancient China, which was divided into three types: official engraving, private engraving and workshop engraving. Among them, the official engraving is the most sophisticated, and the Tang family engraved the book this time, everything must be in accordance with the standard of the official engraving, which naturally costs a lot.

After chatting with them for a few words, Wu Jie took a copy of Yang Zongzhi's manuscript from a scholar, and after just looking at it, he was so shocked that cold sweat oozed out of his vest.

This is a treatise on the great significance of patriarchy in stabilizing the social order, and discusses in detail the relationship between father and son, mother and son, brother and sister, and the responsibilities and obligations that should be assumed, as well as the role of this relationship in a harmonious society.

On the surface, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, it's nothing more than the Confucian theory that has been said to be rotten. But among them, Wu Jie noticed a hint of a different taste. For example, in the section on the inheritance of the property of the extreme clan, Yang Zongzhi said that if the head of a large family dies and there are no direct descendants, a person with both virtue and talent can be found from the side branch to inherit the family business. No matter what the person's previous relationship was to the head of the family, even the elders. On the day of succession, even if he directly inherited his mantle, he was in the position of heir. Otherwise, once the time comes to the sacrificial ceremony, the successor can refuse to bow down on the grounds that he is the elder or peer of the former family.

Therefore, to sum up, it is a matter of course that heirs are greater than unification.

"Isn't this the same old saying that is being debated again?" Wu Jie took a breath of cold air.
