Chapter 309: Kun Yuanlu

I saw more than ten people headed by Li Tai. Entering the hall, the teachers and students who were waiting for the edict were surprised, and the appearance of King Wei made them look forward to the edict they had not yet heard.

Yi Yu stood in a column on the left, and when he saw Li Tai, he was slightly stunned, and then, like the others, when he walked a few steps in front of the person, he bowed and saluted, and in the somewhat empty hall, an echo suddenly sounded:

"See His Royal Highness King Wei."

As soon as Li Tai entered the room, his afterglow swept over the two columns of students not far away, and when he finally landed on a petite figure on the left, the blue waves flashed in his eyes, and before he could take a closer look, he heard the sound of everyone, withdrew his gaze, and walked between the two columns of students without squinting.

"No courtesy."

Dongfang You waved at Li Tai, "Your Highness, everyone has arrived." There are a total of forty-six students here, who are the students who have obtained woodcarvings in the past four years and seven times in the art competitions of the five academies, and they dare to ask His Highness if they can prepare for the edict. ”

Sure enough, as Yiyu expected, the nine woodcarvings of the five academies of the art competition this time are equivalent to the last evidence of this edict.

King Wei was followed by more than ten people, half of whom were literati, and the other half were officials in official uniforms.

Listening to Dongfang You's words, Li Tai took out a light yellow paper with a golden rope tassel tied in it from his wide sleeves, and handed it to the provincial official who took it with both hands on the side.

This edict was obtained from the emperor during the art competition of the Five Academies, and it was only after the plan on the night of September 30 was unexpectedly abandoned that he made this long-prepared move.

"Xuan." With Li Tai's order, the students in the hall except him all lowered their heads.

The official also bowed his head and untied the golden tassel, straightened his waist, and read aloud:

"Under the door, the foundation of the world...... In the eighteen years since I opened up the territory, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has ten provinces in the world, and there are thousands of states and counties. However, its location, name, mountains, cities, and historic sites are unknown......"

What is the matter with territory? Yi Yu pondered, raised his head slightly, and saw His Royal Highness King Wei who was looking sideways at a glance.

The pale blue dark coat was draped in a heavy crow blue coat, his hands were flat in the velvet black sleeves, and the cuffs hung straight down to the knees, but his figure was extraordinarily slender and straight, and his face with hard lines was cold and alienated, which was his usual appearance in front of people, making her feel strange and arrogant Wei Wangye, and the fourth prince who couldn't guess his mind at all.

Fang Fu sensed that her gaze was too long, Li Tai suddenly turned his head sideways, looked at her, and after the four eyes touched, Yu Yu looked away with some weakness and landed on the back of the head of the person in front of him.

"The fourth son of the emperor, Wei Wangtai, is a young man who is good at writing, and a good man loves words. Fuxia Literature Museum..."

Li Tai's eyesight is very good, two zhang away, and he also saw the jade standing behind the eldest grandson Xi clearly, usually at first glance looks like a delicate little boy girl, but today he has a delicate bun on his head, under the smooth forehead, the smart eyebrows and eyes that can only be seen when he smiles on weekdays are clearly exposed, but before his gaze spreads to her eyes, she suddenly turned her head, leaving him with half a white slender neck, and a delicate and small ear.

Li Tai suddenly remembered that one rainy day, sitting in the study, he also saw such a half white and tender neck, the fingers in the sleeves moved slightly, and the lip line was about to relax, but when another smiling delicate face came into view, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the door in the distance again.

The pear vortex on the cheeks of the eldest grandson Xi had just not fully bloomed, and then gradually retracted, with puzzlement in his eyes, he turned his head hesitantly, and glanced at the few people behind him, but he was staring at the back of her head.

Her eyelids jumped, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, then lowered her head, not daring to look at it again.

The official first praised the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then praised Li Tai's actions in recent years, and finally got to the point:

"It's to--special Wei Wangtai. Compile and revise the land chronicles of our dynasty and Xinjiang, allow them to collect places such as the Literature Museum, Guozijian, and Hongwen Museum, select literati and students, extend them as guests, provide accounts to them, repair books and parades, and write the same book "Kun Yuanlu", this order. ”

When the words fell, everyone's hearts were shocked, and they didn't have time to sigh, so they first bowed their hands and said respectfully: "Obey the holy order." ”

No wonder King Wei was present in person, and specified that he wanted them to listen to it, this edict was actually to let Li Tai select literati and students everywhere and take the lead in writing books!

Since ancient times, the kings and ministers have done nothing more than the word "right", and behind the right is the "name", the witness of the name, that is the "history"!

In ancient times, the sage kings mostly led guests to write books to leave their names in history, and today this edict is written on the matter. If it can be done, it will be to put a big "virtuous" crown on the head of King Wei, and these literati and students who accompanied the writing of the book, fortunately, can also leave a name in history, and because of this work, how can the two sides not have a relationship, it is really a triple win!

What is "Kun Yuanlu", except for the jade. Those who were present were probably hearing it for the first time. She knows a lot about literary history, and naturally knows how high the value of this masterpiece of geography that records the Tang Dynasty, the ten provinces and thousands of counties in the world, and human geography!

But at the same time, she also wondered, if she remembered correctly, this work should have been written in about the twelfth year of Zhenguan, why now, but two years earlier, is history here, there is a deviation?

Without allowing Yu Yu to think about it, he heard Li Tai's deep but deep voice resounding in the hall:

"This king has obtained a holy edict to write a record of my millions of territories, but one person is not enough, and not a virtuous person is not enough. You are all in the prison of the country, and there are people of insight in the younger generation, and there is art than woodcarving as evidence. On the next five days, you should study in one house, and the king and Xiao Shilang, Su Bachelor, and Xie Bachelor will take the examination, and select thirteen people from among them, and the Literature Museum, Hongwen Museum, and even the Chinese and wise men of the dynasty, adhering to the holy order, and compiling the Kun Yuanlu. ”

The sentence "one person is not enough, not enough talents" mobilized the already high enthusiasm of the people present to listen to the edict to a height, and when the three words "Kun Yuanlu" fell, almost at the same time, everyone bowed down in unison.

After saying what should be said, Li Tai didn't say any more nonsense, raised his hand and motioned to a man in Tsing Yi behind him to leave the details to explain the details, and then left the hall with a group of people who came.

When I walked near the relic. Hearing Changsun Xi call softly "Fourth Brother", he paused, turned his head to look, and his eyes fell on her delicate little face like a flower, but he was slightly wrong, and glanced at the Yu Yu behind her, who was looking up to see him leave like everyone else, he calmed down and continued to walk forward without looking back.

Changsun Xi hummed a little dissatisfied in front, but Yi Yu couldn't help but reach out to touch the soft forehead hair attached to the side because he caught Li Tai's up and down just now, and coughed lightly a little uncomfortably.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhi was looking at the man who was talking to Dongfang You, and when he heard her coughing, he turned his head and asked.

"Uh, my throat is a little uncomfortable."

* * *

The man who was left by Li Tai was called Xie Yan, who was a direct bachelor of Hongwenguan who specialized in reading and writing for the elders of the direct imperial family, and under his explanation, Dongfang Youhe and the students present had a deeper understanding of this book.

Among them, they were divided into two categories, some of whom stayed in Chang'an City and organized the compilation of this unprecedented work of human geography by referring to the posthumous works of their predecessors and statistical information from all over the country, and the other was to go out of Chang'an City and travel around the country to broaden their horizons before coming back for another revision.

Xie Yan said to Dongfang You: "The Lord of the Troubled Sacrifice Wine has packed up an open teaching house in the courtyard, which can accommodate more than 50 people, from this afternoon, to the fifth day, after our examination, thirteen people will be selected to come and wait with us to be dispatched by the King of Wei, or stay in Beijing to compile books, or to parade outside." ”

Dongfang You said: "I understand, what else does Master Xie have to explain?" ”

Xie Yan smiled, turned his head and said to the students who were listening attentively on both sides, for fear of missing a word: "This is a good thing, you should try your best." ”

As long as he is not a fool, he knows that this is a great thing, but after the retrial in his mouth, everyone is still a little eager, and the prince who is favored by the big book dares to ask for his life in front of the emperor.

Xie Yan looked at the eagerness in the eyes of most people with satisfaction, and said goodbye to Dongfang You and left, and the students in the hall stayed to listen to the lecture of a cup of tea before leaving Xuanlou one after another.

On the way, the four of them talked about the act of writing books this time, and Cheng Xiaofeng, who couldn't bear it, rarely showed interest in such a boring thing as writing books, just because of the edict parade.

Lu Zhi's attitude is to try his best to fight for this matter, but he doesn't have to take it too seriously, he is much calmer than the eagerness of others.

In his heart, Yi Yu is analyzing the deep meaning of Li Tai's move, writing a book, let alone three or five years, does he want to be famous, or to build momentum? Such a good thing, there must be a lot of people who want to come forward to share the soup, I am afraid that after today, the front of the Wei Wangfu will be much more lively, and there will be fewer gifts to see.

After returning to the teaching house, the students in front and behind the room all looked at her curiously, as if they could see from her what she was doing just now, and finally waited until the end of class, and three or five bold people came up to ask.

After a long sigh and beating his chest, Yi Yu and Du He left the teaching house together, but met a Tai Academy student who came to pass the word at the door, saying that Du Ruojin had something to do and left early, and the matter of writing a poem, if Yu Yu was free, it would be changed to before class in the afternoon.

(There is only one watch tonight, so let's see it tomorrow.) ）
