Chapter 14, Lantai Collection

Sun Yanzi Shuran, Le'an people's family, once employed by Zheng Xuan, quite a true biography, known as "Dongzhou Confucian". When Xun first saw Zheng Kangcheng, he said that he was pretending to be a precept, and Zheng Xuan sighed at that time, saying that it was a pity that Uncle Sun was not there, otherwise he would have been able to have a common language with you.

So where was Sun Yan at that time? It turned out that in the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the scholars were very mobile in order to avoid the disaster of war, this Sun Yan once went to Chang'an to seek office, but the result was just in time for Li and Guo to fight the army, and the Son of Heaven avoided, he almost lost his life, and since then he has wandered between Yong and Liang, and has not been able to ask for nearly ten years - Zheng Xuan has not been able to see this proud disciple again until he died.

In the original history, Sun Yan once wrote "Zhou Yi. Spring and Autumn Cases" and "Erya Yinyi", annotated "Mao Shi", "Liji", "Spring and Autumn Three Legends", "Chinese", "Erya" and "Shangshu", and later fought a pen battle with Wang Su in order to defend Zhengmen. He had a high reputation, but he never seemed to have been appointed as a secretary and supervisor at the imperial court, but was politely refused.

And on this timeline, it is estimated that because Zheng Xuan was introduced to the imperial court by Shi Xun, he was appointed as the great Si Nong, and the disciples of Zheng Men were listed as the Taoists, and the ancient texts became official studies, and the Zheng family was also a prominent scholar, and the academic atmosphere and environment were completely different, so when Xi Xuan finally heard the news of Sun Yan, he wrote a letter to plead, saying that since Dong Zhuo burned the Luoyang Palace, most of the classics of the previous generation were scattered, and there was no one out of ten, and someone was needed to sort out and restore it-I didn't invite you to be an official, but to invite you to do learning, do you come? After Sun Yan thought about it repeatedly, he finally dressed up and went to the road.

According to Xi Xian, he was invited by Sun Yan more than a year ago, and he was appointed as the secretary and supervisor. Organize the documents and classics. It was Xun Jiu who heard his name. But they never met. After all, they belong to classmates, if they are in Anyi and Tanxian, they will be fine, this is not to Xudu, how can there be a reason not to go to the meeting? The villain is also your senior brother.

Therefore, Xi Xi personally led Shixun to the secretary and supervisor.

The Western Han Dynasty paid great attention to the collection and sorting of classics, so that in the imperial history, the secretary of Zhanglantai - the so-called "secretary" is the book of the palace forbidden secrets, and later this word evolved into the title of the position; In the imperial history, Cheng was in charge of "Lantai", so later generations Lantai became another name for Yushitai. However, Lantai is not the only national library. There are also Qilin Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion in the forbidden area, and there are stone canals, stone chambers, Yan Pavilion and Guangnei in the outer house, and there are also some collections in Taixue and Biyong, which can also see how terrifying the number of books in the collection is.

However, in the chaos of the last years of Xinmang, Zhugetai was half burned, and most of the books were scattered, until Liu Xiuzhao built the Eastern Han Dynasty, and only rebuilt Lantai in the Luoyang Palace. The largest and most famous libraries in the Eastern Han Dynasty are Lantai and Dongguan, in addition to the Stone Chamber, Renshou Pavilion, and so on. But each has its own belonging, and each has its own business. It's inconvenient to manage. Until Emperor Huan Dynasty began to set up a secretary and supervisor, he included all the functions and powers of Dongguan School Shulang, Lantai Lingshi and so on. It's a pity that not long after, Dong Zhuo set fire and burned down the pavilions, and the books were also lost.

Later, Cao Cao hijacked Liu Xie to move the capital to Xuchang and built a new palace, Cao Mengde was also a cultural person, so it was naturally impossible to forget Lantai, that is, to rebuild it in the new palace. However, at the beginning, the collection was very small, and there was no special secretary and supervisor, but the imperial historian was also the consul.

It wasn't until Shixun requested the reopening of Taixue and carved the "Jian'an Stone Scripture" that scholars from all walks of life gathered one after another, and the scattered classics gradually returned to Lantai - of course, it is estimated that the number is less than one percent before Dong Zhuo's rebellion. Shi Xun didn't have time to think about the national book collection for a while, and when Cao Cao was there, Xi Hongyu didn't dare to make a claim, until Cao Cao moved to Anyi to establish a country, and Xi Xi was worried about monitoring Liu Xie in Xu Du, and he was idle and idle, so he re-established the secretary and supervisor, and then after a short time, he invited Sun Yan to serve in this important position.

Lantai is in the palace, and the distance from Shangshutai is not far away, Xi Xi led Shixun to go, and asked the little official to go to the door. But as soon as the little official ran in, he heard a sharp voice coming from the stage: "I don't see anyone who has no learning!" ”

Xi Xi smiled slightly bitterly at Shi Xun and explained: "In recent years, I have been stubborn in state affairs, neglected to learn, and asked each other when I went forward, and it was difficult to answer one out of ten, so I despised me. Although Xi Xi is a senior brother, he is not a leader in Zhengmen when it comes to learning - not to mention Sun Yan, the "Great Confucian of Dongzhou", even he is not a person - so when he saw Sun Yan before, he was unable to answer a few questions from his junior brother, and Sun Yan despised his knowledge. Moreover, now Cao Cao has also set up an official school in Anyi, and many scholars have gathered, and a library pavilion has also been set up in Anyi, and most of the people in the Quartet have gone to offer, and as a result, the Lantai of Xudu has become increasingly depressed, and Sun Yan is asking for books without books, and there is no one to ask for people. He went to Xi Wei to complain, saying that you might as well recommend me to Anyi as a secretary and supervisor. Xi Xianxin said that Wei Zhi's secretary and supervisor are different from the Han Dynasty, you are going to Anyi, and you will only be a secretary Ling Shi, or a certain Shi Langzhong under the Ministry of Culture......

Xi is worried about the inconvenience of interfering in the affairs of the Wei State, besides, Xu Du also has Lantai, no matter how few books are collected in Taichung, there are still tens of thousands of volumes, if you Sun Yan leaves, who will I find to succeed you? So I just laughed "hehe" and fooled around. As a result, Sun Shuran became more and more dissatisfied with this senior brother - today he was even more simply: "I don't see anyone who has no learning!" ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but smile faintly at Xi Xi, then raised his neck and called loudly: "Yingling is Xun, I have come to visit my senior brother." ”

Taichung "Huh", the time was not big, and I saw a person pacing out, not tall, thin, neat crown and belt, first glanced at Xi Xian, and then arched his hand towards Shi Xunyi: "Is it Hongfuye?" Yu is Sun Yanye. ”

Shi Xun hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Sun Yan stretched out his hand to help, and said "Don't dare" - "It is rumored that Master Zheng's disciples take Hongfu as the best, but the classics noted by Hongfu are different from those taught by teachers in the past. It's all out of your own will? Or did Zheng Shi change Tuye in his later years? "I've read your commentaries, and they are different from the lessons I listened to back then, is it your own thoughts, or is the teacher getting old and suddenly changing his opinion?

It was Xun Xin who said that if my commentary was exactly the same as Zheng Xuan's, it would be strange - "For those who are disciples, when the teacher is unknown, the teacher is confused." Although, Master Zheng is looking up to the mountains, and it is difficult for us to look at the back, but if the teacher is also cloudy, but it is okay to seek a teacher, why bother with a disciple? "If the students only talk about the theories that the teacher has taught, then it would be good to read the teacher's works directly, but why do we students need to do it?

Sun Yan nodded slightly: "This is also true, but I look at Hongfu's note, and there are those who don't think so, I have to meet today, just ask." "It's Xun Xin who said that I don't have time to discuss academic issues with you...... Besides, you are a great Confucian in the world, and your knowledge is better than Xi Wei and Ren Yi, I don't know how many times, am I being asked by you, and I don't know how many times I have a bottom in my heart...... Quickly diverted the conversation: "Can you allow me and Brother Xi to enter Taichung for a look?" "There's no reason why we just stand at the door and chat.

Only then did Sun Yan turn sideways and give way, leading Shi Xun and Xi Xuan into Lantai.

Shangshutai is just a few partial rooms, Lantai is going to appear wider, much brighter, the overall area is estimated to be no smaller than the mansion of Xun, the middle courtyard, planting trees and flowers, surrounded by a circle of wide room Gaoxuan, just look into the window cracks, densely packed with bookshelves, the shelves are full of bamboo slips and wooden slips.

Sun Yan let the two into the main hall, and the little official served hot water. It was Xun who spoke first--saving Sun Yan to discuss academic issues with him again--"I first met Lantai, and I have a lot of storage. ”

Sun Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying how many books are there: "Compared with the Lantai of the past Luoyang, there is no one in ten." Even if it is more than what is hidden in Anyi today, I am afraid it is not as good as it. As he spoke, he glared at Xi Xuan obliquely.

Shi Xun said that if there is no complete pacification today, I believe that there are still many classics scattered among the people, once reunited, scholars will naturally come out one after another to donate books, even if it does not reach the level of the past, rescue half of the classics, then there is no problem - "The Book of Anyi is probably the private collection of King Wei." Shu Ran should know that Cai Bojiao has a female name Zhaoji, the King of Wei Xu married Wang Zhongxuan, and most of the places where Xi Bojiao is hidden can be recited, so the woman recites the husband's record, and the volume is huge. ”

Sun Yan rolled his eyes: "All should be returned to Lantai." "At the very least, I'll have to send a copy to the National Library.

It was Xun Xin who said that in a few years, the Cao family's collection and the national collection would be merged into one, and before that, why bother to transcribe it? But he asked: "I don't know what is hidden in today's Taiwan, do you have to sort it out?" "The collection of books presented by all parties may not be complete or accurate, and must be transcribed, edited, and classified by Lantai. I wonder how this project is completed now?

Sun Yan glared at Xi Yu again: "It's not that there are no books, and there is no one!" He told Shixun that now there are only four Lingshi in Lantai, plus him a total of five people, not to mention copying and editing, just moving books will be broken. asked Xi Xian to add more manpower to him many times, but Xi Hongyu was the wind in his ears, humming and not doing it - "If you want me to come, but also use me in vain, I will hang up the crown and leave!" ”

Xi Wei was used to being stared at by him anyway, but he didn't think it was wrong, but just smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Ran, don't ask to go, let me try." ”

Shi Xun had a bottom in his heart, and immediately resigned. When he went out, he asked Xi Wei, saying that talents are so scarce, can't he even stuff a few more Lingshi to Lantai? Xi Yu spread his hands, saying that if he really wants useful talents, he either already has a suitable position, or he will go to Anyi, I want to stuff a few unreliable ones in, and Uncle Sun has to fight and chase them.

It was Xun Twist who groaned, and it took a long time before he spoke: "If I ask Yilantai to belong to Shangshu, what does the eldest brother think?" "Anyway, in the past, Cheng lived in the forbidden middle of the imperial history, which was convenient for the management of Lantai, but now he is out of the foreign court, but Shangshutai is still in the palace, isn't it more appropriate to be in charge of Lantai's affairs? I've taken over this job, will you let it go?

Xi Wei frowned and reminded: "Hongfu is very leisurely. Don't forget what you said the day before...... "Do you still have free time?" You must take the lobbying of the Son of Heaven that I mentioned to you a few days ago, and you must take it to heart.

Yes Xun said don't worry, I'm thinking about this, but-"It's not easy, it's because I want to enter Lantai every day, and I get it from my old book." "Even if it's Shang Shuling, there's no reason to see the Tian'er Cat in the library-besides, this library is not directly under your control--but I need to find inspiration and evidence from those old books to convince the Son of Heaven." That's why I asked you to ask for Lantai.

Xi Xuan said that since this is the case, then you can do whatever you want-"But you can play, I won't stop it." (To be continued......)
