There are really a lot of people who donate books, and the bibliophiles from the northern and southern provinces have taken the bibliography to the Hanlin Academy, and at least thousands of unique books have been found at one time.

Including Lead Hill Fei's.

Fei Yinghuan and Lou took the opportunity to donate books to visit relatives in Nanjing, and they hadn't seen their daughter for several years.

Walking in the lanes of the Forbidden City, Lou Shi looked at the towering palace wall and couldn't help but sigh, "I have gone back for more than ten years, how could I have thought that it would be like this." When I heard that He'er rebelled in Luling, I was almost stunned at the time, for fear of causing annihilation. ”

"Or the lady has the courage, if the husband is at home, he will definitely quickly cut off contact with the crane." Fei Yinghuan smiled.

Fei Yinghuan has been really chic in the past few years, no matter what happens, with his wife and concubine and young son, he lives in Hangzhou and enjoys Qingfu. Hangzhou's landscape attractions have long been finished by him, and occasionally he goes to Suzhou, and even goes to southern Zhejiang to climb mountains everywhere.

Literature has not been left behind, dozens of poems come out every year, no matter whether the national abbot writes well or not, Hangzhou literati will rush to circulate.

The couple were taken to a courtyard southeast of the Forbidden City, where they would stay tonight. The bedding was replaced with new ones, and some palace maids were sent to serve temporarily, and they waited until tomorrow to attack the saint to visit relatives.

There is an area in the Forbidden City where foreign ministers can live, mainly in the following situations

First, cabinet ministers and central ministers need to work overtime in case of emergency, and it is inconvenient to go out of the palace at night to go home, so they stay in specific rooms.

Second, the minister was temporarily summoned to discuss with the emperor until the night, and he could also stay overnight in the Forbidden City.

The palace maid who is responsible for serving the couple is not the palace maid of the harem, more like the miscellaneous servants in the Forbidden City. The leading female official took out a waist card and said, "Your Majesty has an order, if the prince wants to read, you can go to Wenyuan Pavilion to borrow books." This is a library card. ”

Fei Yinghuan got the borrowed book waist card, and suddenly couldn't sit still.

Lou smiled and said, "Go, I'll go around here." ”

Fei Yinghuan followed the female official out, and the female official seemed to have received an order to be a guide for the abbot all the way, "In the palace wall to the north of here, there is the Chunhe Palace." It is still empty, and His Majesty has ordered that the prince will not move in until he is ten years old. ”

Chunhe Palace, which is the East Palace of the Prince, is not far from the Wenhua Hall where the cabinet office.

Fei Yinghuan smiled and nodded, the prince, his good grandson.

After walking for a while, the female official pointed to the front and said, "This is the Wenhua Palace, where the ministers and the scholars work here on weekdays." ”

Cabinet?

Fei Yinghuan, who had never been a court official in his life, was a little hot when he heard the name of the cabinet, and asked, "Can I go shopping?" ”

"Yes." The female officer led the way with a smile.

The Forbidden City of Nanjing, in some details, is different from the Forbidden City of Beijing, which is constantly being revised, and it is very different from the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty.

The Wenhua Hall of the Ming Dynasty was originally the office of the prince, and it was also the place where the prince studied and studied, so it was relatively close to the East Palace. If a cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty was suddenly named a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and the emperor was still in poor health, it could generally be understood as a minister of Tuogu.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince was often young, and even the emperor deliberately did not appoint the crown prince. For example, Jiajing, in the early years, did not set up a prince, Wenhua Palace, the prince's territory, was abolished, and became the place where the emperor held a banquet meeting, and Jiajing also built a side hall here to store medicines for alchemy.

The change in the function of the Wenhua Hall marked the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty's crown prince training mechanism, and the prince could not be familiar with court affairs before ascending the throne.

Now, Zhao Han directly identified the Wenhua Hall as the cabinet office.

The main hall and the east and west side halls, as well as the hall of the heart to worship Confucius before the feast, were all transformed into cabinet offices. Although there are still many vacant offices, those vacant offices will certainly come in handy as state affairs become more and more cumbersome. It is not like the Ming Dynasty, which has been building more offices, and even some cabinet offices have been moved outside the Forbidden City.

Fei Yinghuan suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "The Wenhua Palace has become the cabinet, and the prince's regent's place is gone?" ”

The female official said, "On the west side of the Chunhe Hall (East Palace), a new Yuanliang Hall was built, which was the place for the prince's regent. ”

Fei Yinghuan stepped into the side door of the Wenhua Hall and saw a Chinese scholar in the small courtyard.

The Zhongshu Sheren was holding a stack of documents, and he didn't take Fei Yinghuan seriously, thinking that he was a foreign minister who was invited to the cabinet to discuss politics. He nodded to Fei Yinghuan, and trotted up again, as if he was busy sending documents to which department.

In the various offices here, there are a lot of Zhongshusheren, and the secretaries in the Forbidden City are all called Zhongshusheren. Not only the cabinet, but also the cabinet and other departments.

Fei Yinghuan walked around, all of them were all kinds of Chinese scholars, and they all seemed to be busy. He was not easy to disturb, and it was even more inconvenient to contact the ministers, so he left the Wenhua Hall after opening his eyes.

Wenyuan Pavilion is further south, and like Wenhua Palace, it is also a complex of buildings, which houses many books and national archives.

Fei Yinghuan showed his waist card to enter, in view of the large number of destruction and loss of the Wenyuan Pavilion collection in the Ming Dynasty, the management of Wenyuan Pavilion is now more strict and standardized. Generally, books are not allowed to be borrowed, and even if they are borrowed here, they must be registered in detail.

After reading until the evening, Fei Yinghuan returned to his residence.

Lou Shi was curious: "What is going on in the Forbidden City?" ”

Fei Yinghuan said, "I only went to Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion, which is worthy of royal weather." Wenyuan Pavilion has a huge collection of books, as vast as a sea of smoke, I don't know which one to read first, and many books have never heard of the name. ”

Lou smiled and asked, "Do you want to stay?" ”

Fei Yinghuan was said to act, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty wants to compile the "Minshi Quanshu", not only revise and enter the "Yongle Canon", but also add books from the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. This must be an unprecedented masterpiece, because the husband is a Confucian background, why don't you want to get involved? ”

Lou Shi reminded, "Don't let your daughter help you speak, you go straight to ask the emperor for permission." The emperor grew up under our watch, and with his temper, it is better to go straight, and it is really a good idea to let his daughter deliver the message. ”

Fei Yinghuan pondered by himself, nodded and said, "That's the reason." ”

The next day, the couple was invited to the Imperial Garden, where they finally met their son-in-law and two daughters.

"Dad, mother!"

Fei Rumei pounced directly, without the reservedness of a concubine at all.

Lou is very happy, her daughter's appearance shows that she is living well in the palace, and her personality is still as lively as before.

Fei Rulan was much calmer, followed Zhao Han's side, accepted the greetings from her parents, and then talked to her parents with a smile. She is the queen, she must be held, otherwise she will lose her honor.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please take a seat." Zhao Han smiled.

"Don't dare."

The couple hurriedly responded, but they didn't dare to agree to such a cordial title.

Zhao Han saw that they were a little restrained, and asked, "How is Guozhang doing lately?" ”

Fei Yinghuan said, "I built a house by the West Lake, and I was comfortable reading and visiting the lake." He also made many literary friends and founded the Xizi Cultural Association, aiming to revitalize Vietnamese Chinese. ”

"That's fine, I'm afraid that the second elder won't be used to it." Zhao Han said.

Zhao Han asked again: "Can Hangzhou still be prosperous?" ”

Fei Yinghuan replied: "Business is becoming more and more prosperous. The Qiantang River estuary is too silted up for large ships to come in. The goods along the Qiantang River were transported to the eastern suburbs of Hangzhou for storage, and then transported to Ningbo by offshore merchant ships, so that they could carry the goods to the sea. Not only Ningbo has a port, but Zhoushan on the other side has also built a sub-port. Zhoushan also erected a pagoda, more than 20 zhang high, and the ships coming and going can be seen at night. ”

This kind of pagoda, which actually serves as a lighthouse, is quite a few along the coast and along the river.

After chatting about Hangzhou, Zhao Han asked, "Have the second elder ever returned to Lead Mountain?" ”

Fei Yinghuan said: "I have to go back every year for the Chinese New Year. ”

Zhao Han asked, "Are the ancients okay in the past?" ”

Lou replied, "Fei Shanchang, the head of Hanzhu Academy, has recently suffered a stroke and is bedridden, and his mobility is quite inconvenient. I heard that he was old and haggard, and I was afraid that time was running out, so Fei Ruyi had rushed back to Lead Mountain to take care of him. ”

"Alas, what a pity." Zhao Han was indeed a little sad, Principal Fei had been good to him before.

and Cai Maode, the former Jiangxi inspector, is also a good person, and once planned to accept Zhao Han as a disciple.

This Mr. Cai has been dead for several years.

The defending army surrendered the city, and Li Zicheng broke through the city and entered. Cai Maode led the officials and his own soldiers to fight, and after breaking through, he did not want to escape, and chose to commit suicide to be loyal to Chongzhen. There were 16 officials who committed suicide with him, and dozens of them counted their families. At that time, Zhao Han had already conquered Nanjing, and he could go south to join Zhao Han.

Chongzhen went a little too far, only giving Cai Maode the nickname of "Zhongxiang", but he was unwilling to give another posthumous gift.

It is equivalent to the emperor acknowledging your loyalty, but complaining that you lost the city and land, and don't want to have a reward after death.

At that time, there were very few people who could commit suicide for the emperor, even if they didn't give an actual reward, they could just posthumously give an official title, at least to make the loyal ministers more beautiful after their deaths. As a result, everyone saw that Cai Maode, along with the sixteen officials, died vigorously but was hated by the emperor, and the next city simply fell to the wind.

Weng and his son-in-law talked about the old people, and the more they talked, the more embarrassed they were.

It was almost noon, Fei Yinghuan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to make a modest contribution to the compilation and revision of the "Complete Book of the Beginning of the People"!" ”

Zhao Han thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay." However, the compilation of the "Complete Book of the Beginning of the People" will be discussed only after the "History of the Ming Dynasty". Guozhang can go back and make some preparations, and compile some share capital by himself, and then he can directly enter it in the future. Well...... Guozhang is in charge of the collection department, so you can start from this aspect. ”

Fei Yinghuan was overjoyed and put him in charge of the collection department, which is equivalent to one of the several deputy editors of the book.

Fei Yinghuan was just about to get up and thank him, when several female officials and palace maids ran over in a panic, "Your Majesty, the prince is fighting with someone, and he is still ...... Also injured. ”

Zhao Han didn't laugh angrily, "This is very strange, someone dares to beat the prince." In my opinion, I'm afraid the prince will do it first. Ask why, don't punish those children indiscriminately, it's normal for children to fight. If the injury is not serious, it can be turned into a small urine. ”
