Chapter 46: Wen Yuan Pavilion asks for a book
Fu Xuechen told this little story eloquently, until Zhuge Liang used ten grass boats to return from the river in the early morning of the third day, bringing more than 100,000 arrows, breaking Zhou Yu's calculation in one fell swoop.
This is the famous "Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows", Fu Xuechen has not only read it in novels, TV series, and even studied in textbooks in his previous life, and the details of the story are simply not too familiar, and can even add fuel and vinegar.
The story is not long, and it was soon over, but Yu Zuo heard the expression of doubt on his face, both surprised and admired, and three points of disbelief: "This is all true?!" Has such an unbelievable thing really happened in history? Is there really a character like Zhuge Liang, who used the fog grass boat to borrow arrows? ! ”
Fu Xuechen spread his hands: "I don't know!" I heard this story from my grandfather, who said that it was recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", which recorded the life of Zhuge Liang. ”
"But this set of "Three Kingdoms", I didn't find it in the collection of books at home, and there was no Guozixue, I really wanted to find this set of books to see if it really recorded the deeds of Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowing arrows." Fu Xuechen saw the dagger and took the opportunity to point out his purpose.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Ah ......" Yu Zuo nodded, carefully remembering the name of this set of books, and now, he also wanted to find this book to check it out, when he promised Fu Xuechen: "I will go to my father's Wenyuan Pavilion to look for it, and if I have the result, I will tell you immediately." ”
"Yes, yes!" Fu Xuechen was overjoyed: "Then Your Highness, you have to hurry up, I want to know the answer too much!" ”
Hearing this, Yu Zuo said: "I also want to know the truth earlier, so it's good!" I'll go to my father and get a warrant first, and tomorrow you and I can go to Wenyuan Pavilion together to check it." ”
Fu Xuechen was still afraid that Yu Zuo would drag her to see the emperor again, but this time Yu Zuo didn't have this idea, and she got a warrant to enter and leave Wenyuan Pavilion from his father very smoothly, which made her secretly relieved.
Think about it, this is actually a trivial matter, the royal library, no matter how strictly managed, it is impossible to prohibit the princes from getting involved, on the contrary, the princes are willing to go there to read a lot of books, and the emperor will only strongly support it, this warrant for entry and exit is for Yu Zuo to read for her companion, and he doesn't actually need it.
The next day, after leaving school, Yu Zuo took Fu Xuechen to Wenyuan Pavilion first.
Before Wenyuankaku was renamed Wenwenyuankaku, it was the Chongwenkan of the previous dynasty, located in the east and north of the imperial palace.
It is different from the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City that Fu Xuechen visited in his previous life, the Wenyuan Pavilion of this time and space is as high as three floors, the lowest floor is equipped with tables and chairs for the work of Hanlin scholars and historians, and the upper two floors are the real book stacks, along the wall are all bookshelves up to the top, and the shelves are full of all kinds of books.
Well, there is a library, but the books here are almost all encapsulated, and the books of the same series are placed in the same bookcase, which is not convenient for people to read, and there are also a large number of scroll-wrapped books in the shape of a cylinder, some of which are calligraphy and paintings, and most of them are bamboo books that have been handed down to the present day.
It was also the first time for Yu Zuo to come in, and when he saw the vast books like mountains and seas, the whole person was a little dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but slow down at the staircase.
Fortunately, there are also people here on the second floor, and a middle-aged waiter who was sorting out books saw him, and hurriedly put down the things in his hand and greeted him: "Slave Wang De, I have seen Your Highness!" ”
Yu Zuo could see from his clothes that this was a high-grade eunuch, and the other party was old, so he hurriedly and humbly shouted: "Don't be polite to the prince." ”
Wang De glanced at Fu Xuechen, who was following Yu Zuo's side, and nodded in courtesy.
Eunuchs are a very special group, they only need to abide by the etiquette of respect and humility to the masters in the palace, and treat the courtiers outside if they are willing to be polite and polite.
Of course, most eunuchs are still polite and modest, but a little marquis like Fu Yuchen, who has not yet attacked the lord, is not worthy of a grade eunuch to give him a special salute, Wang De did not treat her as if she did not exist, which is quite polite.
Seeing Yu Zuo's embarrassment, Wang De asked very thoughtfully after seeing the ceremony: "I don't know what His Highness wants to check?" Can slaves and maids be fetched for His Highness? ”
Yu Zuo couldn't wait for someone to help, so he immediately said: "I'm looking for "Three Kingdoms", is there one?" ”
Wang De was slightly stunned: "This set of books ......"
Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, Yu Zuo was surprised: "What's wrong?" Don't have this set of books? ”
Wang De smiled bitterly: "Yes, but this set of books is a banned book." ”
Banned!!
Yu Zuo and Fu Xuechen were shocked!
"Banned books? Why!? Zuo's eyes widened.
Fu Xuechen is even more puzzled, one of the twenty-four histories of the prestigious previous life, and the mother book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four famous novels, "Three Kingdoms" has become a banned book in this time and space.
"No one knows why." Wang De shook his head and explained: "Since the Yan Dynasty, this set of books has been secretly hidden in the royal library and is not allowed to circulate outside, and in all dynasties, the management of the royal library has followed the old practice, and many emperors have been replaced, and no emperor has thought of lifting the ban on this set of books, so the ban has been followed." ”
Yu Zuo frowned: "The ban of the emperor of the previous dynasty is not equal to the ban of my father, what do I need to do with him?" What if I want to read this book? ”
Wang Deguaner: "Self-...... No problem! The slave maid was just a little surprised, I don't know why His Highness would read this book by name, just a little reminder, His Highness really needs it, and the slave maid will go to get it for His Highness. ”
There was a seat on the second floor, so Yu Zuo walked over and sat down, just waiting for Wang De to fetch the book.
Fu Xuechen hesitated, never expected that "Three Kingdoms" would be a banned book of the Yan Dynasty in this time and space, no wonder readers can know that there is this set of historical books from other documents, but it is difficult to find it on the market, if someone asks in the future, where did her grandfather Yasukuni read this set of books, what do she want to say?
Thinking about it, Fu Xuechen could only sigh secretly in her heart, fortunately, her grandfather had passed away, and there was no proof of this death, she deduced that she didn't know so much when she was young, and she only heard her grandfather tell a few of these small stories, so she should be able to fool the past, right? I knew that I wouldn't have come to find any "Three Kingdoms".
After a while, Wang De held a few thick boxes of books and put them in front of the two.
"So much?!" Yu Zuo was taken aback.
Wang De pointed to several large bookcases: "Yes, Your Highness, this book is divided into three books: Wei, Shu, and Wu, twenty-eight volumes of Wei, fifteen volumes of Shu, and twenty volumes of Wu, a total of sixty-three volumes." ”
