"Idle boats retreat, idle boats retreat!"

On the Yangtze River, the Datong Sailors, who have not existed for a long time, suddenly went out collectively this winter.

More than 300 warships, large and small, sailed towards Nanjing, and Gu Jianshan, the governor of the Datong Naval Division, personally led the team.

The crowd gathered more and more at the docks, not knowing what was happening, and some even wondered if there was a rebellion somewhere.

Immediately, the police force in Nanjing was dispatched.

Three steps and one sentry, five departments and one post, from the dock to the Forbidden City.

Fei Ruyi sat in a sedan chair, calling friends to come, and all stood on the pier to look strange. This product's opium addiction has been forcibly rehabilitated, and he almost died during the drug rehabilitation, and then his temperament has changed a lot.

"The idler retreats, the idler retreats!"

This time, it was actually the guards of the imperial city, who rarely went out in normal times......

Both business travelers and passers-by were all driven to the side of the road, as if there were some important people to pass.

Many more officials came, and there were even female officials in the palace.

The battleships of the Datong Naval Division docked one after another, and many merchant ships leaning on the dock were ordered to leave temporarily to make room for the battleships of the Naval Division.

This battle was outrageous, and the people became more and more curious.

Gu Jianshan sat on the deck of the flagship to supervise the formation, and Qian Qianyi and other officials of the Hanlin Academy and the Qintian Academy actually came down from the naval battleship.

The officers and soldiers of the sailor division and the guards of the imperial city carried boxes one by one from the ship.

Each box should be opened and checked when it lands to confirm that it is correct before handing it over.

I only heard an official shouting: "The bibliography of Wenyuan Pavilion in Beijing, a total of 43,200 volumes, is lost, and only 10,237 volumes remain." Now it is handed over to the former Ming Emperor's imperial imperial notes, as well as the former Ming Emperor's rituals, laws, politics, religion and actual records. The first revision of the "Records of Ming Taizu" was lost; There are 165 volumes and 183 volumes in the second revision, all of which are well preserved; There are 250 volumes and 257 volumes in the three revisions, and 248 volumes and 255 and a half volumes are extant. Please count the handover! ”

Each box is opened and inspected, and each box is counted three times.

This shout made the onlookers excited, and the ships were all from the collection of books in the Imperial City of Beijing.

At the same time, it is a pity that there are more than 40,000 books in the Wenyuan Pavilion in Beijing, and less than 30% of them have been preserved today.

It was not destroyed by the fire of war, but by poor preservation.

Some are moth-eaten, and some are moldy and rotten. There are also officials of the Ming Dynasty and the Hanlin Academy, who often take advantage of their positions to return the books of Wenyuan Pavilion to their homes, and as early as the Wanli period, they only have two or three ten.

The common people gradually dispersed, but the scholars gathered more and more.

Finally, I heard the official shouting: "Yongle Dadian, a total of 11,095 volumes, 60 volumes of catalogs, and 22,877 volumes of text." The first draft has been destroyed in the Wenyuan Pavilion in Nanjing, and all the originals have been lost, and the copies are all intact. Please count the handover! ”

The onlookers rushed to tiptoe, wanting to see what the "Yongle Canon" looked like.

When Li Zicheng left Beijing, he once let the palace burn, but the fire area was not large, and the Manchu emperor lived in it for a small repair.

Therefore, the original copy of the "Yongle Canon" could not have been destroyed in the war.

But there is indeed no original book left, and the biggest suspect is Jiajing, it is likely that the full set of "Yongle Canon" was used as a funeral item.

Before Jiajing, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't take "Yongle Canon" seriously, and even Zhu Di himself didn't bother to look at it.

Only Jiajing, who can't put down the "Yongle Canon", often carries it with him to read this set of books, there are a large number of prescriptions, which can be used for alchemy and cultivation.

In Jiajing's later years, he suddenly asked people to transcribe a copy of the "Yongle Canon". In the second year of Jiajing's death, the original was stored in Wenyuan Pavilion, and the copy was stored in the Imperial Palace. But since then, the original has not been found, and no one has mentioned it again.

For three days in a row, the acceptance and handover were carried out outside Nanjing.

In the end, more than 60 boxes were removed, all of which were defective books, moth-eaten, moldy, and burned...... It is necessary to repair and complete the Hanlin Temple and the Qintian Temple as much as possible.

Morning meeting.

Qian Qianyi led the doctors of the Hanlin Academy to come out and said: "Please revise and compile a set of "Minshi Classics" on the basis of the "Yongle Canon". It is this "Yongle Canon", when Lao Chen read it in Beijing, he also found many errors and omissions, and it had to be revised. ”

"Accurate!"

Zhao Han said: "After the compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" is completed, I will go to compile the "Great Dictionary of the First Republic of China". Well, it's more convenient to call it "The Complete Book of the People's Beginnings". This book must revise the errors and omissions in the "Yongle Canon", and then add the books of the former Ming scholars, as well as mathematics, physics and other works. ”

"Yes!"

Qian Qianyi was very happy in his heart, these two jobs could be done until the day he died.

The records of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who moved from Beijing were temporarily stored in the Hanlin Academy, which was convenient for the officials of the Hanlin Academy to compile and revise the "History of the Ming Dynasty". As for the rest of the books, half were stored in the Wenyuan Pavilion and half in the emperor's private library.

In particular, the calligraphy and paintings collected by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty all became Zhao Han's personal collection.

By the way, the Manchu Imperial Palace in Shenyang also got a lot, which is estimated to have been taken away by the Manchus when they evacuated Beijing.

The compilation of the History of the Ming Dynasty officially began, and at the same time, Zhao Han ordered the world to collect all kinds of folk books, especially the works of the Ming Dynasty, so as to prepare for the compilation of the "Complete Book of the People" in the future.

Of course, it is not forced.

Those who donate books can leave the original book by themselves and ask someone to copy the book and send a copy. Once selected, there will be rewards, and even those who are knowledgeable can participate in the compilation of the "Complete Book of the Beginning of the People".

Although the people are not forced to donate books, there will always be local officials who take the opportunity to welcome them.

Jiaxing, Zhejiang.

Liu Xianwen, the magistrate of Jiaxing, after seeing the content of the holy decree, personally ran to Xiang's mansion the next day.

"Mr. Merlin, there is a great event!" Liu Xianwen smiled.

Xiang Yuanbian was puzzled: "The late life is incomprehensible, please ask the county to speak clearly." ”

Liu Xianwen took out the notice copied by the scribe: "Mr. Merlin, please take a look." Without waiting for the other party to finish reading, he continued, "Mr. has Tianlai Pavilion, and Brother Ling has ten thousand scrolls." The two Ru brothers both have tens of thousands of books, why don't they ask someone to copy the books and dedicate them to the imperial court? In this way, he will win the favor of His Majesty, and may participate in the editing of the "Complete Book of the Beginning of the People". ”

In the whole of Zhejiang, the largest collection of books is Xiang Yuanbian in front of him, and the other is Fan Qin in Yin County.

Xiang Yuanbian pondered carefully and felt that this was an opportunity.

Anyway, the emperor didn't ask for the original, but he could hire more copyists and make copies to the imperial court.

Moreover, Tianlai Pavilion has a catalogue of books, and the catalogue is taken directly to the capital. Let the officials of the Hanlin Academy, look at the catalog selection, select it, and then ask someone to copy it.

After sending the magistrate away, Xiang Yuanbian went to see his brother Xiang Dushou.

The brothers are very confident in this, they have too many books, and many of them are unique, and they will definitely be selected by the Hanlin Academy.

Xiang Dushou: "Only offering a collection of books, it can't stand out, or you can offer the world's treasures to Your Majesty!" In the hands of the foolish brother, the most precious thing is Su Shi's authentic handiwork, and the virtuous brother ...... in his hands."

Xiang Yuanbian was silent, he knew what his clan brother was, but he was really reluctant to take it out.

Xiang Dushou said with a smile: "I heard that there is an imperial city in Nanjing, and the prince is also studying there. The virtuous brother gave that thing, and the young son of the virtuous brother was of the right age, and he might be able to be a classmate with the prince. ”

Xiang Yuanbian suddenly brightened, and immediately clapped his hands and said: "It's still my brother who has a long-term view!" ”

The two brothers, with their bibliography and entourage, went to Nanjing together.

When they arrived at the Hanlin Academy, they first took out the bibliography and shocked the officials a little.

Immediately, Xiang Yuanbian said: "Can you please convey that the late life has the courage to face the saint and present a treasure to His Majesty in person." ”

Zhang Pu fell ill again in winter, and the Museum of Culture and History of the Hanlin Academy was calculated by Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "Ordinary treasures, I'm afraid it will be difficult to face the saints. ”

"Please take a look."

Xiang Yuanbian untied a long bag from his back, and the bag was opened, wrapped in leather paper. The parchment paper was opened, and inside was a fine bamboo tube.

An item was pulled out of the bamboo tube and wrapped in vellum paper.

Several layers of vellum were opened one after another, and the scroll inside was finally revealed.

Everyone immediately laughed, and at the same time they were very curious, what kind of calligraphy and painting are so careful?

Xiang Yuanbian slowly unfolded the scroll, and before he could see the content of the text, there was a pile of seals and inscriptions.

One line of words is particularly conspicuous, it is the thin gold body of Song Huizong's personal book: Tang Li Taibai went to the balcony!

Everyone's eyes shrank sharply, and their breathing became rapid.

The scroll continued to open, revealing the cursive script inside: the mountains are high and the waters are long, and the objects are myriad. If you don't have an old pen, you can be strong and poor. On the eighteenth, I went to the balcony to read, too white.

Is it Li Bai's real work?

Qian Qianyi trembled slightly, picked up the glasses on his chest and put them on, and approached to observe and appreciate them carefully. The more I look at it, the more I feel that it is true, at least with his level of identification, the inscriptions and seals of celebrities such as Song Huizong are real.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, don't squeeze the true works of the poets!"

Xiang Yuanbian shouted anxiously and hurriedly put away the scroll, for fear that the treasure would be damaged.

Qian Qianyi roared angrily: "All retreat!" Wait for the real poems to hang up, and then come over one by one to enjoy them! ”

Everyone hurriedly retreated, and Xiang Yuanbian hung the treasure on the wall, isolated by a stool in the middle, and everyone could only stand three feet away to admire.

In addition to the Museum of Culture and History, other museums of the Hanlin Academy were also alarmed one after another.

It is really three layers inside and three layers outside, this is Li Bai's only authentic handiwork. Before today, they had never heard of it, and some people copied it out of thin air with their fingers on the spot.

Wang Tiaoding, the leader of the Hanlin Academy, also came to the scene quickly.

Wang Tiaoding looked at it for a while: "Take the pen and ink, and copy it as soon as possible." Before evening, it must be put away, and tomorrow it will be presented to His Majesty. I have a lot of dreams at night, and if it is stolen, I can't afford it. ”

So the tables and chairs were placed around the treasures, and no one was allowed to cross the line, one by one, like Meng Tong with just words, repeatedly copying Li Taibai's authentic handwritings.

Waste paper was constantly being thrown on the ground, and people were constantly lamenting that they were not satisfied.

Copying until the evening, everyone still refused to leave, Wang Tiaoding could only extend the time, and finally simply brought the wind lamp to illuminate.

The next day, the two Xiang Yuanbian brothers, with their respective treasures collection, were successfully summoned by the emperor. To provide you with the fastest update, 597 [Books, Calligraphy and Paintings] free reading.
