"Actually, it is really a little difficult for Your Majesty to ask the hearts of the people of the world, after all, people's hearts are different and their needs are different." Cheng Yuan weighed his previous method in his heart, but did not say it.

"Cheng Yuan! You are wrong, no one can get the heart of the world's scholars, I only need the literati not to oppose the Yongle Dynasty, and that is enough. ”

Cheng Yuan held the tea and weighed the plan in his heart.

Zhu Di said: "The pen in the hands of literati, their pen can reverse right and wrong, do not want money, do not want power, have to leave a name in history, soft and hard, and not as simple as a general."

I can't kill it, I can't scrape it, I'm stunned that I'm afraid that it's not as good as their pen if they use all the power and scheming for many years. ”

The literati just want to leave a name in history, who said that only loyal monarchs and martyrs can leave a name, and the same can be done by repairing books and establishing biographies, and a "Yongle Canon" will be famous throughout the Ming Dynasty and even history.

The book is divided into more than 22,000 volumes, and there are 60 volumes in the table of contents alone. It took more than 2,000 people five years to complete the revision. There are seven or eight thousand large and small books involved.

Each volume is 55 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide, and tens of thousands of books of this size have been compiled.

Cheng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, then the opportunity to leave a name in history is to compile a book that everyone in the world is proud of, Sima Qian is not because of the "Historical Records" to leave a name in history, if it is done well, it is also a great achievement of Your Majesty's cultural governance, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

As long as Your Majesty does a good job, compile a "Yongle Canon" and let the world's scholars participate in it to enhance their cohesion, in the final analysis, they also cherish their feathers. ”

Zhu Di's body shook up: "The "Yongle Canon" you said is really okay." ”

Isn't it you who made it up in history...... Cheng Yuan nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense, writing a book and writing a biography is the best thing to win over literati." Just like a military general likes a merit monument. ”

"This matter can calm the hearts of the world's soldiers!" Cheng Yuan said firmly.

Zhu Di came to his senses, and immediately stood up and said, "You tell me in detail!" ”

"This is similar to "Hongwu Zhengyun", and His Majesty still needs to invite several compilers from the Hanlin Academy to relieve them, so that the ministers can talk about it in detail."

At this moment, Empress Xu and Zhu Bai also entered the warm pavilion, saw that Cheng Yuan was also there, and heard Zhu Di anxiously ask them to relieve them.

Empress Xu said with a smile: "Cheng Yuan, stay for dinner later, this palace has a few words to tell you." ”

Zhu Bai arched his hand to Zhu Di, looked at Cheng Yuan and said with a smile: "This king and the princess said that they would invite you to climb the heights during the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, but you are not in the house, it turns out that you have entered the palace." ”

Zhu Di ignored them, his heart was pounding at this moment, and Cheng Yuan's suggestion coincided with the strategy he had in mind.

After two incense sticks, Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Hu Guang hurriedly came.

Empress Xu consciously took Zhu Bai and Princess Xiang to the inner hall separated by the screen.

"Chen Yang Shiqi has seen Your Majesty."

"Chen Xie Jin has seen Your Majesty."

"Yang Rong has seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di glanced at them: "I asked you to come today because there is something to do, let the Zhenguo Gong tell you." ”

Yang Rong and the others looked at Cheng Yuan in surprise when they heard that Zhu Di didn't say anything, and when Cheng Yuan persuaded Zhu Di to change it, they all cast admiring glances.

Can you make up for it...... Cheng Yuan stood up and arched his hand to the three of them: "I just discussed with Your Majesty, and I want to invite the three scholars to leave a book for the Ming Dynasty to leave a famous history." ”

Yang Shiqi automatically filtered the others, and only heard that he wanted to repair a strange book that would remain in history, and he was short of breath and said to Cheng Yuan: "I don't know what the book that Grandpa Guo said, what exactly does it mean?" ”

Xie Jin had a lot of good feelings for Cheng Yuan, and because he recommended him to write an edict, he said happily: "I don't know what book Your Majesty and Grandpa Guo want to repair." ”

Yang Rong also nodded, indicating that they would do their best.

Cheng Yuan glanced at Zhu Di.

"This book I am cultivating requires you to gather the wisdom of people who read all over the world...... Ah, Cheng Yuan will tell you about the rest. Zhu Di glanced at Cheng Yuan and said, "Cheng Yuan! ”

"Obey." Cheng Yuan turned around, "Sima Qian used a "Historical Record" to leave a name in history, and Cheng thought that the Yongle Dynasty should also have its own masterpieces.

From ancient times to the present, the collection of hundreds of schools, the subset of historical scriptures and Buddhist scriptures, folk opera, crafts and the art of Qihuang, divination and astrology, the art of yin and yang, geography and sea chronicles, etc. The Yongle Quanshu of political affairs, history, literary masterpieces, and other aspects of the past dynasties used it to promote the Ming Dynasty.

Ladies and gentlemen, wouldn't it be a great canon and an unprecedented cultural event after we collected and compiled it, called "Yongle Dictionary" and "Yongle Canon". ”

"Yongle Canon", under the search word, we must first indicate the pronunciation and the earliest source and interpretation of the word in the "Hongwu Zhengyun", and also indicate various book styles and variant characters such as seal, subordinate, line, grass, and Kai, which are very rich in content."

Zhu Di sat behind him, once the masterpiece that Cheng Yuan said was completed, it would consolidate his throne and strength.

Xie Jin didn't expect that the young Zhenguo Gong would know so much and have such great ambitions. What a genius.

"That's a great idea!" Yang Rong couldn't help but applaud, Cheng Yuan still had such a side.

Yang Shiqi said: "I am willing to try my best to repair the canon." ”

Zhu Di laughed, he was good at observing words and feelings, and from the eyes of these civil officials, he had already determined the attraction of Cheng Yuan's "Yongle Dictionary" and "Yongle Dictionary" to literati.

Behind the screen, Queen Xu, who was originally drinking tea, couldn't help but listen to the sound outside, she usually didn't care about the affairs of the previous dynasty, only dealt with the harem.

Her female students are also really talented and learned, and when they heard Cheng Yuan's proposal, they agreed very much.

Zhu Bai stood up slowly, sat down after being signaled by Princess Xiang, and said to Queen Xu: "Fourth sister-in-law, I just heard Cheng Yuan's proposal, I couldn't help but be excited, and asked the fourth sister-in-law not to be surprised." ”

Xu shook his head: "We are all a family, so we don't have to be restrained." ”

Then she listened to the words outside, and felt that the colt she valued did not look away, and it was not ordinary.

It's no wonder that his daughter is worried about him.

Zhu Di and Yang Shiqi were attracted by the "Yongle Canon" described by Cheng Yuan, and urged: "You keep talking." ”

"We need to collect books from all over the world, both in manuscripts and in originals. For those who are willing to contribute to the ceremony, you can also write your name in the ceremony as an encouragement.

This is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, led by the three gentlemen and the Hanlin Academy, the national character supervisor and the world's talented scholars and literati can participate, this masterpiece needs at least a thousand people. ”

Yang Shiqi said: "We are willing to dedicate a piece of sincerity to this. ”

Xie Jin and Yang Rong nodded, indicating that they could do it too.

Zhu Di paused, already wanting to discuss the next matter with Cheng Yuan, and said, "It's not early, you all go back." ”

"The ministers are leaving."

After a few people left, Cheng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, it is still the thirty-third year of Hongwu, and next year is the first year of Yongle, and this matter will be announced next year, and now you can collect books first."

In addition, there is also a person who is responsible for leading Yang Rong and reconciling them. ”

Zhu Di said: "Who will lead?" ”

"Lord Xiang!" Cheng Yuan recommends.

Zhu Bai's literary attainments are not much worse than Xie Jin, he can write poetry and paint, and Zhu Quan's erudition and talent are on par, and he just took the literati to do this.

Zhu Di nodded: "Since this is the case, then wait until next year, and now appease all places first." ”

Zhu Bai and the others came out of the inner hall, arched their hands to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, my brother is willing to do my part for Your Majesty." ”

Then Zhu Bai looked at Cheng Yuan and expressed his gratitude, it was boring to stay in Beijing, and it was better to contribute to being a carefree prince.

There are only six dishes in the imperial diet, three of which are cabbage tofu on separate plates, a plate of fish, a plate of meat dishes, and a plate of lion's head.

Zhu Di is as picky as Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is more frugal in eating and dressing.

Zhu Yunwen came according to the specifications of Zhou Li on weekdays, and he was very particular about how many plates and how many bowls he placed.

After all, Zhou Tianzi's staple food has six kinds of grains, meat has six kinds of livestock (cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, geese, fish), six kinds of drinks, one hundred and twenty kinds of delicious food, eight kinds of refined high-end food, and one hundred and twenty urns of pickled meat sauce.

There are also eight lines and eight columns of beauties to accompany the dance, and the palace music, all of which are strictly in accordance with Zhou Lilai.

On the first day of ascending the throne, those chamberlains were given to Zhu Di in this way, eating a few bites of each dish was too wasteful, and Zhu Di came in his own way.

Therefore, on the first day of ascending the throne, Zhu Di said that those palace music were too noisy, and he had to sing and dance after eating. It was too noisy, and the chamberlain didn't dare to let the palace maid dance anymore.

Empress Xu and Zhu Di sat on the upper seat, Zhu Bai and Princess Xiang, Cheng Yuan, were on the lower seat.

Queen Xu said: "The palace remembers that Cheng Yuan and Gao Chi like to eat braised lion's head, so they asked the dining room to make one and try it." ”

Why did An Cheng even tell the queen what he ate, and Zhu Gaochi didn't eat this...... Cheng Yuan immediately got up, took it with a bowl, and said respectfully: "Minister, Queen Xie." ”
