Chapter Ninety-Nine: Taizu Record

Zhang Fengwu's thoughts are different, he doesn't need to think about the relationship between Li Maochun and Yang He, the key is Zhao Liangsong, Wei Shanjin and Wang Weiguo. These three people are not very old, and there is a lot of room for cultivation, obviously, Yang He is telling himself that these three people will be his henchmen in the future.

Zhao Liangsong was overjoyed in his heart, he knew that Yang He introduced him like this, which was an official recognition of him.

Wei Shanjin and Wang Weiguo were ignorant, but they still understood one thing, that is, Yang He did not treat them as outsiders.

Although everyone has different ideas, there is one thing that everyone thinks the same, that is, the people introduced by Yang He are all Yang He's henchmen.

After exchanging a few words with Wei Shanjin and Wang Weiguo, Yang He and Zhang Fengwu hurriedly returned to the county office.

Hearing that Yang He had come to the county office, Zhang Fengqi hurriedly came to the back hall.

Seeing Zhang Fengqi come out, Zhang Fengwu smiled and said, "You talk, I'll go get the book." ”

Yang He nodded.

Taking the teacup handed over by Zhang Fengqi, Yang He took a sip slowly, and then told Zhang Fengqi the news he had just gotten.

Zhang Fengqi was shocked when he heard this: "How did you know this news?" ”

Yang He smiled: "Brother Longchuan, I don't think you should care about this issue. ”

When Zhang Fengqi heard this, he suddenly knew that he was reckless in asking this.

Smiling, Yang He continued: "Brother Longchuan, I thought that the emperor's approval of Liu Yijing's resignation was just a temptation, but this temptation will cause changes among the various factions in the DPRK and China, and then these factions will definitely be counterattacked by the Donglin Party with all their might, and when the Donglin Party solves those factions, it will be the time for the emperor to take action." ”

Zhang Fengqi nodded silently when he heard this.

Yang He continued: "If I am not mistaken, Liu Yushi will return to Beijing soon after receiving this news, and I estimate that he should come to Funing County in the next two days." We can't manage the affairs in the court, and there is no need to take care of them, but on Lord Liu's side, I think it is still necessary to remind him and let him try not to get involved. ”

Zhang Fengqi nodded: "I know what to do." ”

At this moment, Zhang Fengwu walked in with a few subordinates holding a large stack of books.

Yang He couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it: "So many? ”

Zhang Fengwu said with a smile: "This is just a record of Taizu. ”

Zhang Fengqi smiled when he saw it: "Are you taking the second or third revision book?" ”

Zhang Fengwu said with a smile: "Three repairs." ”

Yang He said in surprise when he heard this: "What are the second and third revisions?" ”

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "The Taizu Records were edited three times, the first revision was the time of Emperor Jianwen, the second revision was the early year of Yongle, and when the second revision was completed, the initial revision was burned, and in the ninth year of Yongle, the third revision of the Taizu Record began, which is the third revision. ”

Yang He nodded, picked up the top book and flipped through it.

After a few glances, Yang He felt that his head was a little big. In ancient times, it was customary to turn books from right to left, and the habit of writing was to write from top to bottom. None of these problems are big, the point is that there is no punctuation in the text.

It is difficult for Yang He to look at the traditional Chinese characters, and he has to break the sentence by himself, which is difficult to imagine. Only in the first paragraph, Yang He took a lot of effort to understand.

And the first paragraph is the simplest: Daming Taizu Holy Spirit Wenwu Qinming Qiyun Junde successfully unified the heavens and the Great Filial Piety Emperor Gao's surname was Zhu Shi Yuanzhang Ziguo Ruihao Zhi Zhong Li Dongxiang people also.

After reading it slowly, Yang He looked at Zhang Fengwu and said, "Am I right?" ”

Zhang Fengwu smiled and nodded: "That's right." ”

"What does this Hao Zhi Zhong mean by leaving Dongxiang." Yang He asked.

"Hao refers to Haozhou, Zhongli refers to Zhongli County, Dongxiang refers to the direction of the east, and this sentence together means that Taizu is a native of Zhongli County, Haozhou." Zhang Fengwu said with a smile.

Yang He suddenly realized: "I see. ”

"Hey, I said you two aren't going to read now, are you?" Zhang Fengqi said with a smile.

Yang He closed the book and smiled: "I'll take it back and read it." ”

Zhang Fengqi waved his hand and smiled: "Come on, you can live here tonight, it just so happens that Qizhi is also there, if you don't understand anything, just ask him." ”

Yang He thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "That's okay, I'll live with you tonight, and I've been living here for the past few days." ”

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "Just stay, it doesn't matter how long you live." ”

Saying that, he stood up: "I have official business tomorrow, so I won't accompany you." ”

Yang He got up and said with a smile: "Brother Longchuan go slowly." ”

Zhang Fengqi waved his hand and turned to leave.

Taking Zhang Fengqi away, Yang He reopened the book and read it slowly.

Zhang Fengwu on the side listened attentively, and when he heard that Yang He had read it wrong, he immediately pointed out.

The first volume of Taizu's record mainly talks about Zhu Yuanzhang's family history and the process of raising troops. For Yang He, this content is useless. However, Yang He still recites carefully, firstly for literacy, and secondly, to learn broken sentences.

There are a total of 257 volumes in the three revisions of the Taizu Records, which record in detail the major events that occurred in the 48 years from the 13th year of the Yuan Dynasty to the 31st year of Hongwu, as well as some biographies and the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty.

Two hundred and fifty-seven volumes, which sounds quite scary, is actually a few thousand words in one volume.

As Yang He gradually became familiar with the reading habits of the ancients and gradually learned to break sentences, Yang He's reading speed became faster and faster.

In fact, when Yang He became familiar with the reading habits of the ancients and learned to break sentences, Yang He was still restricted from reading those traditional Chinese characters.

However, after all, Yang He has the foundation of simplifying characters in later generations, and when Zhang Fengwu pointed out how to read those words and explained the meaning of those words, Yang He was soon able to learn those traditional characters.

Seeing that Yang He was reading faster and faster, Zhang Fengwu was more and more impressed, and couldn't stop praising Yang He for being a genius in reading.

Listening to Zhang Fengwu's praise, Yang He just smiled and said nothing.

Yang He's purpose in reading Taizu's record is twofold, one is to understand what happened in the years when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, and the other is to understand the system of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the first ten volumes are all about the process of Zhu Yuanzhang and his subordinates' conquest, and Yang He passed by these contents, including Li Shanchang, Liu Ji, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other famous ministers, Yang He only had a cursory understanding.

Only when Zhu Yuanzhang was called King Wu,

Reading in this way is naturally very fast, and in less than three hours, Yang He read more than 20 volumes.

It wasn't until he saw the twenty-five volumes and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang formulated the code system that Yang He slowed down his reading.

Hearing the sound of the husband knocking on the bang outside, Zhang Fengwu smiled and said: "When the time comes, it's already the fourth watch, let's read it here today." ”

(Note: In ancient times, there were five watches at night, one watch day was from 19 o'clock to 21 o'clock, and the rhythm of the gong was one slow and one fast, and it was played three times in a row.)

The second watch day is from 21 to 23 o'clock, and the rhythm of the change husband is one after another, three times in a row.

The third watch day is from 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock, and the rhythm of the watchman is one slow and two fast, three times in a row.

The fourth watch is from one to three o'clock, and the rhythm of the change of beating is one slow and three fast, three times in a row.

The fifth watch day is from three o'clock to five o'clock, and the rhythm of the beating is one slow and four fast, three times in a row.

The time corresponding to the fifth watch is, the first watch day is the time of the sun, the second watch day is the time of the sea, the third watch day is the time of the son, the fourth watch day is the ugly time, and the fifth watch day is the time of the yin. )

Yang He was taken aback when he heard this: "It's so fast, it's already the fourth watch, Brother Qi, go back and rest." ”

Zhang Fengwu smiled bitterly: "It's not that I go back to rest, it's that you should rest." ”

Yang He nodded, slowly closed the book and put it on the table.

Yang He still understands the principle of combining work and rest, if he doesn't rest well, he won't be able to concentrate on studying the next day, not to mention that Zhang Fengwu went back to rest, and he couldn't continue to read, after all, he didn't know many words, and he needed Zhang Fengwu's guidance. In addition, I learned a lot today, and I need to digest it.

Let the subordinates send Zhang Fengwu to the back house with a lantern, and Yang He himself came to the room where Zhang Fengqi usually rested in the back hall.

Lying on the warm kang, Yang He couldn't sleep for a long time, thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang all over his head.

There is no doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang is a great hero, named Huazi, and also served as a monk, a real poor man, after participating in the rebel army, he quickly emerged in the rebel army, and soon became independent. Then he led his subordinates to conquer the east and west, and gradually laid a foundation.

said that Zhu Yuanzhang was a military strategist, no one should dare to question it.

But the most remarkable thing about Zhu Yuanzhang is the administrative organization he set up.

Volumes 25 and 26 of the Records record in detail the administrative institutions set up by Zhu Yuanzhang as the queen.

Leaving aside the local government institutions for the time being, the central government is mainly divided into three parts, the Zhongshu Province, the Governor's Mansion and the Imperial Historical Tower.

When the Imperial History Observatory was established, Zhu Yuanzhang once said to the ministers who served as the Imperial History: The country is newly established, but the three major prefectures are the general government of the world, the foundation of the Chinese book and politics, the Governor's Mansion is in charge of the army, and the Imperial History Observatory pickets hundreds of officials. The discipline of the imperial court is all tied to this. And the responsibility of the Taiwan inspection is really clear, and the secretary and others should think about themselves and take the lead, and be loyal and diligent in things. If you don't cover yourself upright, you can't be righteous, so those who govern others must first be self-governing, then people have something to look up to, don't be hypocritical and undeniable, don't be sluggish and follow the rules to indulge in adultery and grow evil, and don't fake public welfare and private interests to hurt people and things. Poetry clouds, just do not vomit, soft and low, this minister's body is also, Qing and so on.

From these words, it can be seen that Zhongshu Province is equivalent to the State Council of later generations, the Metropolitan Governor's Office is equivalent to the Military Commission of later generations, and Yushitai is equivalent to the supervisory agency of later generations, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is very clear about how the country should be managed and what various departments should do.

At the same time, it also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang clearly understands the importance of the supervision organs and has extremely high requirements for the quality of the officials who supervise them.

As a feudal emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang can realize this and be able to do this, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a politician.

sighed softly, why did a good supervisory organization end up being a tool for party struggle?

What's the problem?

Books like Taizu Shilu can be collected by Zhang Fengwu, and there will naturally be them in the palace, don't these emperors in the last years of the Ming Dynasty know to take a look?

If so, how can they tolerate the Supervisory Institution becoming a tool of partisanship? Is it really a weasel rat, a litter is not as good as a litter?

Sighing, Yang He slowly closed his eyes.
