Chapter 257: Yongle Grand Canon? Yongping Grand Ceremony?
After moving into the new mansion, Gu Ming called Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ling's two daughters over, and asked them to help recruit a few more people.
After all, the official residence is much bigger now, and the two of them can't be busy at all.
At the same time, Gu Ming secretly made some arrangements just in case.
Of course, the current official residence is relatively much safer, after all, it is close to the palace and has an imperial atmosphere.
Next, Gu Ming spent another peaceful day.
Zixuan did not appear again, and Taiyin Zhenjun was nowhere to be seen...... However, Gu Ming believed that the old guy had descended into the current world, and he was only hiding in the shadows for unknown reasons.
Of course, even if this old guy appears Gu Ming, he is not afraid.
Even if his strength is not as good as Taiyin Zhenjun, it may not be so easy for the other party to win him in a short time.
Moreover, Fahai has always been near the capital, and Baoqing is not far away, as long as he receives the message, he can rush to the capital in a pillar of incense at most......
Besides, there is still an old demon in the capital, Pudu Cihang, who is in charge, how can Taiyin Zhenjun be allowed to stir up the situation?
This morning, the fourth volume of "Dream of Red Mansions" was finally officially released.
In the past, Gu Ming was brought into the palace by someone else, but this time, naturally, he personally went out and brought the book into the palace and handed it over to the imperial eunuch Li Chen, and asked him to transfer it to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen Mother and others.
After explaining, Gu Ming was about to leave the palace, but the palace maid hurriedly came and said that the emperor had invited him.
"Weichen see the emperor!"
Entering the imperial study, Gu Ming stepped forward and gave a salute.
"Hehe, Aiqing is exempt. I heard that Aiqing had entered the palace, and I happened to have something to discuss with Aiqing...... Come on, watch the tea! ”
"Yes!"
A palace maid outside answered.
"Gu Aiqing, sit down and talk."
"Emperor Xie!"
After Gu Ming sat down, Emperor Yongping said: "Gu Aiqing, recently, the crown prince and Princess Ningyang have always mentioned you, and I want you to enter the palace from time to time to give them lectures.
In fact, I also have this intention, after all, Aiqing has only learned people, and even Hua Taishi has praised you, saying that since the last time you taught in the south study, many children have obviously become interested in learning......"
This matter is within the scope of Gu Ming's responsibility, of course, there is no opinion.
After chatting about the lecture for a while, Emperor Yongping couldn't help but smile and asked, "Aiqing, are you still used to moving to the new mansion?" ”
"It's okay, thank you for your concern."
"Aiqing lives alone in the capital, and Mrs. Ling is not around...... Otherwise, I'll give you a few more maids......"
This is also the emperor's usual routine of rewarding ministers: Men, how many don't like beauties?
Gu Ming is no exception.
Hearing what the emperor said, Gu Ming's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered someone.
This is a rare opportunity, so he immediately bowed his hand and said: "Thank you for the emperor's reward, it's just ...... The minister has something to ask for. ”
"Oh? Aiqing talk quickly! ”
For Emperor Yongping, what he was most afraid of was that Gu Ming didn't want anything and didn't ask for anything.
There are requirements, but he is down-to-earth.
"Your Majesty, can the minister go to the Jiaofang Division to pick two maids by himself?"
"Teach...... Faculty Division? ”
The emperor was stunned.
He is the Son of Heaven, how can he not know what kind of place the Church Division is?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Hahaha, it seems that Aiqing has taken a fancy to the beautiful woman in the Teaching Workshop Division...... It's okay, since Aiqing has opened her mouth, how can I not allow it?
In this way, I will write a handwritten edict after a while, and the beauties of the Teaching Workshop Division will be selected by Aiqing, not to mention two, ten or eight will do......"
Obviously, Emperor Yongping wanted to be crooked, thinking that Gu Ming couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house.
Of course, this is not a big deal, after all, there have been many talented people since ancient times, not to mention that Gu Ming is still the first genius in the dynasty.
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth like this, it could really be regarded as a big deal.
The girls of the Teaching Workshop Division have always been very valuable, after all, their identities are relatively special, and they have been carefully selected and strictly trained, not only with outstanding appearance, but also able to sing and dance, and have a great charm, which is not comparable to ordinary women.
Especially the Oiran of the Teaching Division, it is really not a daughter, but a body of ten thousand gold.
For example, those old fortunes in the capital, if they are allowed to spend 10,000 taels of gold to redeem an Oiran in the Sect Division, it is guaranteed to be a bloody battle.
Moreover, it is not an easy task to go to the sect to redeem a girl, and it must be approved by the Ministry of Rites.
If you want to let those officials up and down the Ministry of Rites nod and let people go, don't you spend tens of thousands of taels of silver?
And even if the girls are ransomed in the end, it doesn't mean that they are okay...... After all, most of the girls in the Teaching Department are the daughters of criminal officials, and they are guilty of crimes.
If you want to get rid of this identity completely, you have to spend a lot of money up and down......
Of course, with the emperor's edict, everything should be solved, is it possible that those officials of the Ministry of Rites dare to open their mouths to ask for benefits?
That's really an old life hanging, and it's a long life.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, ......"
"It's not enough to worry about ...... trivialities"
Emperor Yongping smiled and waved his hand.
Indeed, to him it was a trivial matter, a matter of writing a small note in his hand, and he did not even need a holy decree.
Subsequently, Emperor Yongping talked about national affairs intentionally or unintentionally.
Because he has tasted the sweetness, the "Dayan Dictionary" has now formed a craze, and the workshop plus printing is also in short supply.
Now not only the ministers of the DPRK and China, but also many scholars are also seeking to buy.
After all, the dictionary has proven to be useful and will be passed on to future generations.
This is undoubtedly a major event for Emperor Yongping.
Because of this, he has greater pursuits, even ambitions......
After chatting for a while, Gu Ming heard the meaning of the emperor's words.
This is actually a good thing, the emperor has ambitions, and Gu Ming naturally has them.
For example, this time the release of "Dayan Dictionary", the feeling of luck is almost comparable to when I was the champion in high school.
For others, luck is mysterious, invisible and intangible, but for Gu Ming, luck can be converted into a kind of power, making his strength to the next level.
The most obvious thing is that the hao qi in his body has increased significantly, which is the same reason as the increase in the true qi of people in the cultivation path.
To put it simply, Gu Ming's cultivation method was completely different from others.
Other people's cultivation requires retreat, visualization, taking elixirs, and so on to improve their realm and strength, while Gu Ming only needs to write books and accumulate qi luck.
Even if you meditate, you just recuperate your mind and think about some questions.
And the prerequisite for his accumulation of luck is closely related to the luck of the dynasty, so helping the emperor is also equivalent to helping himself.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the ministers still have some ideas......
Hearing this, Emperor Yongping perked up: "Huh? Great, Aiqing might as well talk about it. ”
"That's right, the minister recently discovered a problem when he was sorting out books in the Hanlin Academy. Many ancient texts are either incomplete, of different editions, or missing titles.
Therefore, the minister had a bold idea......"
"Great, Aiqing, the bolder your ideas are, the better, I'm afraid I'm not bold enough."
"For thousands of years, Chinese culture has a long history, although the imperial court has included a lot, but at the same time, many have been lost in the long river of history, or scattered among the people and unknown to the world.
Therefore, the minister wondered if it would be possible to compile a series of books on the inheritance of culture that existed, missing, and scattered among the people......"
In fact, what Gu Ming said is the "Yongle Canon".
This is recognized as the largest and most complete encyclopedia in history by Gu Ming in his previous life, with a total of more than 20,000 volumes and nearly 400 million words, covering the cultural inheritance of scriptures, history, sub-collections, collections, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Tibetan Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, agronomy and so on.
The origin of this series of books is that Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, made up his mind to compile a set of grand works in order to demonstrate the national prestige and benefit all generations, which can be said to be immortal.
At that time, more than 3,000 people participated in the compilation, copying, and revision, and it took several years to complete.
What Gu Ming is cultivating now is Wendao, so he naturally hopes that a strange book like "Yongle Canon" will reappear in this world.
In his own strength...... You don't have to think about it at all, but with the support of the emperor, it will definitely be done.
Once this masterpiece is published, it is not difficult to imagine that luck will inevitably come like a torrent of mountains and waterfalls...... It's a little exciting to think about.
Listening to Gu Ming's gushing narration, Emperor Yongping's eyes widened more and more......
Emperor Yongping was still talking about it before, I was afraid that you were not bold enough, but now...... I am afraid that this idea cannot be called bold, it is simply crazy.
After all, he is not an uneducated emperor, and you can fully imagine what a huge project this will be.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"Ah...... Cough...... That, Gu Aiqing, your idea is quite good, it's just ...... It's a bit difficult to implement, isn't it? ”
Gu Ming nodded with a fixed face: "That's right, after all, if you want to compile such a series of books, you will inevitably invest a lot of manpower, material resources, and time."
But the emperor, once the compilation is completed, this will be the largest and most complete document in history, and it will surely raise the prestige of my Dayan country, benefit future generations, and leave a legacy for eternity.
As for the name of the series, it can be named after the emperor's year and named ...... Yongping Ceremony! ”
"Yongping Grand Ceremony?"
At this moment, Emperor Yongping felt that his heartbeat was getting faster and faster......
"Yes, Your Majesty, after all, this series of books is really going to be compiled, that is, a well-deserved literary masterpiece, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a canon."
"Good, good, good!"
Emperor Yongping took the case and said three good words in a row, which shows how excited he is in his heart.
As an emperor, Emperor Yongping has a deep sense of joy and anger, and he has always controlled it quite well.
But the Son of Heaven is also a human being, and it is impossible not to have a time when he lost his temper.
At this time, he lost his temper, and the joy and excitement in his heart were fully revealed.
Although I knew very well in my heart that this thing was not so easy to do, I ...... That's why no one has done it.
If it is up to him to do it, add the Dayan dictionary...... With such an achievement, maybe there is a real chance to compete with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
"That, Gu Aiqing, do you have any other ideas? Let's hear about it? ”
"This ...... Yes, there is, but I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy when he hears it......"
Emperor Yongping was happy, and immediately waved his hand and said: "It's okay, although Aiqing said it, it's a big deal that I don't adopt it, but I will never blame Aiqing." ”
"Okay, then Wechen is going to speak freely......"
