As soon as the old minister of Huajia sat down, a person held a jade gui, stepped out of the crowd, and stepped forward to bow to the Son of Heaven: "Old minister Mu Yu, there is something important to start Your Majesty!" When Liu Hong, the son of heaven, heard this, bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "The doctor is old, so he should sit down and play the right game." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mu Yu did not pretend to be reserved, and when he heard this, he returned to the mat position and sat down, and then spoke: "Your Majesty sent someone to the Tai Academy a few days ago to send two and a half articles, and I waited for the Doctor of the Five Classics to consult the historical documents day and night, and determined that it was a non-textual text of the "Book of Shang", and I have come to report to Your Majesty. Liu Hong was stunned, he didn't expect the doctors of the Five Classics of Tai Academy to be determined so quickly, but he was a little caught off guard, so he asked without hesitation: "The matter of the "Shangshu" is very important, and the doctors have made such a conclusion, is there a basis?" , don't make the world make a fuss. Mu Yu arched his hand and said: "The two and a half articles are rigorously conceived and exquisitely written, which is a rare strange article. Among them, "Hou Father" was read and quoted by Mencius by heart, and there is no doubt that this is the text of "Shangshu"; And "The Order of Feng Xu" is a document of the Zhou Dynasty to divide the Xu State, which can be proved by the genealogy of Zhaoling in Runan; The last article of "Bao Xun", the content seems simple, but contains extremely complex philosophy, non-ancient sages can not be written, this is the "Shangshu" text, it is really expected. As he spoke, Mu Yu pointed to Wu Yong, who was standing in front, and said: "The two and a half articles were inadvertently heard by Wu Shiyu from the Taixu Immortal Realm. ”

"Haha, what the doctor said is very satisfying!" Liu Hong laughed heartily when he heard this. While speaking, Liu Hong looked around at the hundreds of officials and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and asked with a smile: "Why do you think you are like this?" ”

"Your Majesty! God bless the man! All the officials and ministers in the Deyang Hall bowed in unison. It would be foolish for someone to suggest something different.

The praise lasted for nearly a minute before it stopped, and then a clever man leaned over to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, since Wu Shiyu is willing to selflessly dedicate two and a half pieces of "Shangshu" to the imperial court, please also ask Your Majesty to reward Wu Shiyu for his merits!" ”

"What Zhun Qing said!" Then Liu Hong glanced at Wu Yong and asked with a smile, "What reward do you want?" ”

"Your Majesty, wait!" Before Wu Yong could answer, Mu Yu stopped him. Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, and asked with some confusion: "Why did the doctor prevent me from rewarding Wu Shiyu?" The credit for his dedication is obvious to all officials, if he is not rewarded, won't he make the world laugh? ”

"Your Majesty said the difference! The old minister did not prevent His Majesty from rewarding Wu Shi Reading, but continued to read the merits for Wu Shi Xuan, and the matter of rewarding him could be discussed later. Mu Yu said unhurriedly.

"And here's the thing! What did I do? Let the doctor personally come forward to give him credit? Liu Hong is full of curiosity now, Wu Yong can be said to be by his side almost every day, when will he catch up with the Doctor of the Five Classics.

He glanced at Wu Yong, and saw that he was standing there without squinting, and he was a little closer to him in his heart, since Wu Yong was the son of heaven, the hundred officials and ministers praised him a lot more than before.

Mu Yu took out a thread-bound book from his arms unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will understand after reading this book!" ”

"Good!" Liu Hong bowed slightly, and instructed left and right: "Go, take the book in the doctor's hand and have a look with me!" ”

"Yui!" When the confessor beside Liu Hong heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and hurried to Mu Yu, took the book, and presented it to the Son of Heaven.

Liu Hong looked at the thread-bound books brought by Mu Yu, and he really couldn't put it down. It's all bamboo slips, and it's quite troublesome!

Especially after taking the bamboo slips for a long time, there are still some wrist pains, and when you look at it on the case, after a long time, the neck is a little unbearable.

How can there be today's book convenient, you can read it as you want, a thin booklet, which contains all the contents of the "Book of Shang", the more you read it, the more you love it.

Wu Yong glanced at it with his spare eyes, Liu Hong was looking at the article "Bao Xun" at this time, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart: this book should be "Jinwen Shangshu", plus the two and a half "Shangshu" essays he dedicated.

Liu Hong was completely immersed in his own joy and couldn't extricate himself, in the Deyang Palace, all the officials and ministers looked at each other, all curious about what was going on, making the Son of Heaven so addicted, but no one dared to disturb him.

I don't know how long it took, but Mu Yu coughed lightly and reminded: "Your Majesty, the old minister brought five hundred books today, and I can order someone to take them and distribute them to the princes in the palace." ”

"Ahh How could the Doctor prepare so much! Liu Hong exclaimed, and then ordered left and right: "You arrange for the guards to get all the books." ”

"Whoa!" The two confessors hurried out of the Deyang Palace. At this time, Liu Hongcai exclaimed: "What the doctor just said is for Wu Shi to read and ask for credit, is it because of this book?" ”

"Exactly! Your Majesty is really as wise as a torch, and he can find such a rare genius in the world as Wu Shiyu from the countryside! Mu Yu first praised the two of them, and then said: "Your Majesty doesn't have a book, the old minister only took a few days to print five hundred copies, and this is because of the time spent on engraving!" Now that the engraving has been completed, if the craftsmen do not stop alternating, they can print 200 copies a day. Then he said with a very excited expression: "Your Majesty, think about it, if this continues, all the people of my Han Dynasty will have a copy of the Five Classics, what a great creation this is!" Even the rule of Wenjing did not have such a grand occasion! Liu Hong was really stunned this time, he just thought that this book was lightweight, easy to watch and carry, but he didn't think about printing, if it was really as Mu Yu said, he, the son of heaven, would be famous for eternity!

What a great honor it was, and he couldn't afford not to be moved. Therefore, he asked Wu Yong tremblingly, "How did you come up with the idea of doing this?" As the Son of Heaven, he couldn't imagine how shocking it would be when a large number of thread-bound books appeared in front of the world.

Wu Yong immediately bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Xiaochen once saw the process of printing books by the people in the Taixu Wonderland, and it happened that the doctors asked Xiaochen to go to Tai Academy to explain the two and a half "Shangshu" texts, and Xiao Chen saw that many Tai students were reading a scroll of bamboo slips together in Tai Academy, so he thought of printing books. Liu Hong stared at him again and again, and finally exclaimed, "It seems that I chose you to be a waiter, which is the wisest choice I have made." ”

"The minister is terrified! Your Majesty deserves such praise. Wu Yong hurriedly bowed. Seeing him like this, Liu Hong comforted him softly: "You are very good!" I will definitely reward you in a while. While the two were talking, the two confessors had already entered with a group of guards and said, "Your Majesty, all the books have been taken." ”

"One volume per person, distributed to the secretaries in the palace." Liu Hong gave an order, and the Deyang Hall suddenly became busy, and every hundred officials and ministers who got the books saw these thread-bound books, and they all liked it.

They just heard the conversation between Dr. Mu Yu and the Son of Heaven in the Book of Heaven. At this time, when they saw the book in their hands, they understood the meaning, which shocked them!

Especially those officials who have made great achievements in the "Ancient Scriptures", only the most powerful, if it is really as Mu Yu said just now, two hundred copies can be printed in a day, then it is estimated that all the students in the world will study the "Modern Classics", who will spend time to slowly copy and study the ancient scriptures.

This is undoubtedly a serious blow to the vigorous development of ancient literature and classics. Therefore, they couldn't help but have some hatred for Wu Yong, who dedicated this method, and saw that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was close to him, and suddenly had a plan, so they glanced at each other, and immediately someone stood up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Shi's reading of this move will benefit the people of the world." Such a noble virtue is even more admirable. Why didn't Your Majesty issue an order to let Wu Shiyu make the law of printing books public, so that all the people would benefit and be grateful for the kindness of the imperial court. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the echo of many officials and ministers.

"Please give an edict to pass down the law of printing for the benefit of all people!" When the fourteen Pentateuch Doctors heard this, they immediately spoke out and said, "Your Majesty can't! This is the Void Immortal Law, how can it be easily made public? "They were just happy, they didn't expect their opponent to ask for that.

This is really shooting themselves in the foot, if they are learned by the ancient scriptures to get this method of printing, their advantage in the current scriptures will be gone.

"This ......" Liu Hong was a little difficult, on the one hand, he didn't want the Tai Academy's Jinwen Jingxue to dominate, and on the other hand, he didn't want the method of printing to spread.

In any case, Tai Academy is the official school of the imperial court, and it is under control, once it spreads out and is used by people with intentions, I am afraid it will bring turmoil to the imperial court.

He couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it for a long time, so he asked Wu Yong tentatively: "Wu Shiyu, the method of printing was created by you, what do you think?" For a while, the hundreds of officials and ministers in the Deyang Hall all stared at Wu Yong to see what advice he gave.

As a later generation, Wu Yong certainly knew that the method of printing had two sides, on the one hand, it could greatly spread civilization, and on the other hand, it would bring damage to human civilization.

As later generations often say: good books are the guide to the light of life, and all human development is inseparable from books.

Bad books can lead to depravity and corruption, sometimes even unimaginable consequences.

Before the advent of the printing method, the dissemination of bad books was very limited, but with the advent of the printing method, more and more bad books will appear in the future.

There will even be incidents of deliberately revising the doctrine of the other side! The most terrible thing is that the official intention

"Correcting mistakes" is simply a kind of trampling on civilization! Now that I have passed down this method of printing, I don't know if it's good or bad, so I can only try to avoid bad effects!

Thinking of this, Wu Yong ignored the strange eyes of the hundreds of officials and ministers, pretended to cough lightly, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this method of printing should not be made public, after all, the kid has seen it in the Taixu Wonderland, and there are bold and reckless people who use the method of printing to modify the classics and mislead the people!" ”

"How can there be such a mad man! Aren't you afraid of God's damnation? Not only was Liu Hong stunned, but even the hundreds of officials and ministers in the palace spoke out one after another, and they were also a little afraid at this time, if the law of printing was made public, maybe someone would dare to do it.

After the discussion was quieter, Wu Yong continued: "The minister suggested that Your Majesty should establish a separate printing office, which can only be published and printed after being reviewed and approved by a well-known Confucian. However, it will be regarded as a serious crime for the private sector to publish and print it privately. ”

"That's a great thing!" As soon as Wu Yong finished speaking, he was unanimously recognized by the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the hundred officials. Even the researchers of ancient scriptures who were originally hostile to Wu Yong also agreed to support Wu Yong's suggestion.

After all, among their ancient texts and scriptures, there are many well-known Confucians. As long as they can participate in the official office of the publication, it is also beneficial for them.

In fact, after Wu Yong said that after revising the classics, they are the most worried, because for today's people, ancient scriptures are said to be incomprehensible words, even if they are tampered with, it is difficult to be discovered.

Seeing that all the officials and ministers supported Wu Yong's suggestion, Liu Hong was also in a good mood, so he asked Wu Yong with a smile: "You have made such a contribution today, what reward do you want?" Wu Yong didn't dare to ask for a reward at will, but this was the second time the Son of Heaven asked him today, and he had to give an answer, so he thought for a while and said: "The minister was born in the countryside and is more interested in farming, if Your Majesty wants to reward the minister, just give the minister a few acres of land." Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "I have gained a lot of knowledge today, and I met a courtier who just wants to farm. After laughing, he solemnly said to Wu Yong: "In this way, I will share the fields in Luoyang Huangzhuang with you!" ”
