Wenhua Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion (Daming also has).

Dozens of wooden shelves are piled up with all kinds of ancient books, which are the books of the whole country. Many of them are ancient books that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, and many are even bamboo slips.

These are only a tiny fraction of all the books in the collection.

Books represent the civilization of a country and a nation.

Successive dynasties paid more attention to the collection and protection of books.

Immediately after the establishment of each new dynasty, a huge library was built. For the dynasty, the territory is the foreign affair, and the culture is the heritage. Books represent the civilization of a dynasty, and the civilization of a nation.

In order to show off their cultural and martial arts, some emperors will specially find a group of Hanlin scholars to compile a large encyclopedia. It is necessary not only to have a national collection of books, but also to classify and summarize all private collections.

For example, "Taiping Yulan", "Yongle Canon", "Ancient and Modern Books Collection"

Whichever emperor would have compiled such books during his reign would have made a great contribution to Chinese culture.

So that the culture can be passed on to future generations.

Therefore, compiling books is the most important cultural achievement of the emperor.

However, some foreign emperors, in order to benefit their own rule, would delete many books that were not in their favor, causing devastating damage to the culture of thousands of years.

"Now that my Ming Dynasty has become rich and powerful, the imperial court also has the spare strength to compile a set of encyclopedias." Luo Guanzhong thought, "Should I suggest that the emperor compile a set of "Huaxia Canon" to pass on to future generations? ”

"This set of books must be inclusive, and nothing can be cut."

"The emperor, under the influence of that Mr. Qin, already has such a broad mind."

"So, now is the best time to compile the canon."

"Mr. Qin's influence on the Ming Dynasty is not just to propose a few policies to the emperor that can make the Ming Dynasty prosperous. More importantly, he made the emperor's vision and mind unprecedentedly ambitious and unprecedentedly broadened. ”

"A teacher is only teaching people knowledge in books, and it is the lowest level."

"A really good teacher is one who changes the vision, mind, and quality of students."

"This is called being a teacher, and it is also the most important, it is clear that the gentleman has done this, he has invisibly changed the emperor."

"If he hadn't changed the emperor, I, Luo Guanzhong, would never have made such a setback."

"The former emperor, the cowherd baby was born. Although he is also very diligent and studious, he does not have such a mind. And without Mr. Qin, the imperial court has no spare strength to compile such a set of canons. ”

In front of Luo Guanzhong, there is a sea of books and an ocean of Chinese civilization.

Among these ancient books, there are subsets of scriptures and histories, three religions and nine streams, and there are many records about foreign countries.

He focused on the history of Xu Fu's eastward crossing.

It was found that the historical records did record that Xu Fu led 3,000 boys and girls to the Wa Kingdom. But the names of every boy and girl are not recorded at all, and they cannot be recorded.

Later, I consulted the pictorial records of the Wa Kingdom, and gradually understood the scope of the 'various countries' of the Wa Kingdom, and several more famous surnames.

"Since you want to write 'Warring States', you must have a lot of princes."

"I'll leave the name to Mr. Qin," he thought to himself, "and as for the history that takes place in it, it's up to my imagination." ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: "Don't I have the experience of writing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? I can apply a lot of the images of the characters of the Three Kingdoms to it. In the history of the Wa Kingdom, there are 'Cao Cao of the Wa Kingdom', 'Guan Yu of the Wa Kingdom', 'Zhao Yun of the Wa Kingdom' and 'Zhang Fei of the Wa Kingdom'...... It's easy to write, and I can definitely finish the first part in a month. ”

"What's the title of the book?"

"The Language of the Creatures? "Sengoku Blade"? "Yayoi Wars"? Snowpiercer? "The Romance of Xu Fu Dongdu"? ”

Luo Guanzhong is an excellent family, with active thinking, outstanding literary talent, and unbridled thoughts.

Soon, he had the general outline of the whole book in his mind.

Even the outline of the first few chapters was thought of, and stories emerged in his mind.

"The first chapter is written: 'Xu Fu crossed to the east and encountered a sea monster, and the Fusang Divine Tree showed divine light', which is probably the content that Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls to meet a huge sea monster on the sea, and then found that a divine tree appeared in front of him, emitting ten thousand golden lights, and drove away the sea monster. So Xu Fu took these boys and girls and landed on the land of the Wa Kingdom. ”

"Later, I wrote that after Xu Fu led the fleet to land, he found that the locals were still living a primitive life, so Xu Fu taught them farming techniques, taught them writing and medical skills, and saved tens of thousands of Li people."

Later, they established a prosperous and powerful kingdom, and everyone revered Xu Fu as the first Emperor Jimmu. And the original ruler of Yamatai was a queen who married Xu Fu. ”

"So the current Japanese people have both Yanhuang blood and local primitive blood."

"The so-called general trend of the world, if you divide it for a long time, you will be together for a long time."

"After the death of Xu Fuku, the originally rich and powerful country was divided into countless small countries, and the Warring States of the Yayoi period began. And the three thousand boys and girls became chiefs, and some became famous generals or strategists. ”

"Three of these countries were the most powerful, and their leaders were also the most famous, namely Cao Cao of the Wa Kingdom, Liu Bei of the Wa Kingdom, and Sun Quan of the Wa Kingdom. The three leaders are Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and the reincarnation of the three Wa deities on the left. ”

"In addition, there are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi of the Wa Kingdom, ......"

"And these famous people have left descendants, who are the ancestors of those surnames in the Wa Kingdom."

"Among them, the surname of 'Cao Cao of the Wa Kingdom' is 'Cangjing'. The surname of Liu Bei of the Wa State is 'on the mountain', and the surname of Sun Quan of the Wa State is 'Daqiao'. All three are big surnames. As for the surnames that recognize Xu Fu as their ancestors, let them use the original surname Xu. The ancestor of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the current general of the Wa Kingdom, arranged for him to play the role of a three-surnamed domestic slave. ”

The more Luo Guanzhong thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to start writing immediately.

"Compared with the intrigue in the court, I seem to be more suitable to write about it." He thought to himself.

When Luo Guanzhong was with Zhang Shicheng, he had the ardent ambition to be an official to save the world, but later because Zhang Shicheng didn't use his strategy, he was disheartened, and left Zhang Shicheng with Shi Nai'an and began to write.

After that, he was reused by Emperor Zhu and let him become an official again, which can be regarded as making up for the regrets of his youth.

But after he really became a member of the imperial court, he found that his talent and true hobby were in writing, not in governing the government.
