Chapter Ninety-Nine: Lao Zhu: It is worthy of us to pick out the prince, our vision is high!

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The emperor's grandfather started with cloth clothes, and when the heroes rose together, they chased the Central Plains, expelled the Tartars, set the world, and rebuilt China."

"This sincerity is a great achievement that has never been achieved in the ages."

"Since ancient times, the country has been right, but the Han and the Ming."

"Guy got into trouble, and he didn't suspect that he was threatening. Eliminate violence for the people, and there is no intention of foreseeing the artifact. ”

"Now the emperor's grandfather is both the lord of the world, Huayi is inseparable, although the surname is different, the words are the same."

"Dingge innovation, for Li Min to open peace for all generations."

"But I will win the world immediately, but Wenzhi will be slightly weaker."

"Grandpa Huang told me that day that he would use a scholar to kill a scholar, and my grandson would think so."

"But if you want to use them, you must first win the hearts of the world's readers."

"Sun Er suggested that we should build a masterpiece that has never been seen in ancient and modern times, and collect the hearts of readers all over the world, so as to renew the cultural inheritance lost by the invasion of Hulu, demonstrate the national prestige, and benefit all generations."

"Since the book deed, the books of the hundred schools of thought and history, including astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical divination, monks, skills, etc., have been collected and compiled into a huge work, what does the imperial grandfather think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been resentful of being regarded as a mud leg by others, and Zhu Di has also been unhappy because he was said by Confucianism to be rude and unliterate.

Therefore, Lao Zhu attaches so much importance to his literary talent.

Zhu Di made great efforts to repair the Yongle ceremony.

It is to reflect that our family is also a culture-savvy and cultured person.

Therefore, the first ceremony in the world was repaired.

In this era, whoever has a library building with hundreds or thousands of books is the envy of countless literati.

Families with a collection of books will be sought after by literati and students.

Historically, Zhu Di's "Yongle Canon", including scriptures, histories, sub-books, and collections, involves astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Tibetan Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, and agriculture, covering the intellectual wealth of China for thousands of years, and is the largest encyclopedia in the world's history.

But later, according to legend, the original disappeared, and there are rumors that he was taken to the imperial tomb by Emperor Jiajing, whether it is true or not, it is not known.

Most of the copies were destroyed by fires and wars, and only a few hundred volumes survived.

This has to be said to be a huge pity.

However, Zhu Yunxi proposed to compile a book, in addition to inheriting ancient culture, there is a more important thing.

He wanted to compile the textbooks he had written when compiling the book.

For example, calculus, for example, gravitation, for example, the three laws of motion, or the periodic table, and even the three laws of electricity......

Although Zhu Yunxi doesn't have a deep grasp of this knowledge, he only knows some fur.

By the standards of later generations, the compilation of textbooks is certainly not qualified.

But in this era, as long as he writes these ideas, he doesn't need to write them in great detail, which is an earth-shattering move.

As for how to develop and apply it later, dig deep into these laws.

How many wise people are there in the world?

As long as they are given some inspiration and a ray of light, they can develop perfectly.

The Chinese civilization will be at the forefront of the world.

Leaving all the countries far behind.

But compiling a book is not a trivial matter, and he is not sure, will Lao Zhu agree?

According to legend, before this, Xie Jin had proposed to compile a large-scale book, but Lao Zhu did not agree.

However, Zhu Yunxi felt that Lao Zhu's refusal to relieve Jin should have another reason.

He didn't know the exact situation, but he vaguely felt so.

"Good! That's a good idea! ”

Lao Zhu slapped the table and stood up excitedly.

"Collect the books of the world and compile them into a big book, good idea!" Lao Zhu laughed and paced back and forth, full of excitement.

Zhu Yunxi was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu's interest in compiling books was so great.

It's normal to think about it, though.

Lao Zhu didn't have much literacy when he was a child, so he could only be regarded as a beginner.

But even if he fought everywhere, he never forgot to learn to read and write.

It shows his thirst for and importance for knowledge.

Otherwise, after becoming emperor, he would not be able to handle so many pieces.

You must know that reading the articles written by people in this era requires a high level of cultural literacy.

In particular, many ministers also like to write essays that are extremely difficult to understand.

The compilation of the canon is just right to Lao Zhu's heart.

It's just that in this case, why was he indifferent to Xie Jin's proposal to repair the book in the first place?

Zhu Yunxi thought secretly.

At this time, I heard Lao Zhu ask: "In your opinion, who should preside over the compilation of this canon?" ”

Immediately, he didn't wait for Zhu Yunxi to answer, and said as if talking to himself: "This has to find a great Confucian who is proficient in hundreds of classics and has learned five cars." ”

This sentence seems to imply?

Zhu Yunxi suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson even thinks about the name of this canon, it's called "Hongwu Canon", as for the editor-in-chief, my grandson thinks that it is none other than the emperor's grandfather." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"The name of Hongwu Dadian is really good, a good name."

"However, is it really okay for our old Zhu culture to serve as the editor-in-chief? I'm afraid it's better to invite another Confucian, right? ”

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard it, he knew that he was a sycophant, and he was right.

Lao Zhu was happy in his heart.

Just deliberately make a modest appearance.

Maybe I ignored Xie Jin's proposal at the beginning, and it was for this reason?

It's not good to come forward yourself, so just ignore it.

At least that's one of the reasons.

There have been rumors before that after Lao Zhu refused, he also asked how to make it up, but then there was no follow-up.

"The emperor's grandfather is today's son, the merit is better than the three emperors, and the virtue is better than Yao Shun. The Hongwu Ceremony, which gathers the essence of Chinese millennium culture, should be edited by the emperor's grandfather. ”

"Moreover, the emperor's grandfather personally serving as the editor-in-chief can also reflect the importance that the Son of Heaven attaches to culture and buy the hearts of scholars all over the world."

"Furthermore, what content is suitable for inclusion and what is not suitable also needs to be checked by the imperial grandfather."

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his beard, obviously very moved.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi guessed a little wrong.

One of the most important reasons why Lao Zhu rejected Xie Jin's proposal to compile books was because Xie Jin objected to him reading a lot of miscellaneous books.

Xie Jin believed that the emperor should read more Confucian classics and not indulge in unselected books.

It was up to the Great Confucian to select the books for the emperor to peruse.

Those "harmful" books cannot be shown to the emperor.

To put it bluntly, he just wants to restrict Lao Zhu's freedom to read books.

It is best for them to read books to determine what books the emperor reads and what books he does not read.

This is also the reason for proposing to compile a book.

If it does not meet their approval, it will not be included and will not be seen by the emperor.

How could Lao Zhu be such a shrewd person?

It's just that in order to show that he values culture, he still praised it verbally.

He ignored his suggestion and did not adopt it at all.

Now that Zhu Yunxi proposed to let Lao Zhu check by himself and decide by himself, his interest will be great.

You don't have to be restricted by those Confucian scholars, and you can also gain a good reputation.

He thought so in his heart, but said again: "But we are old and frail, and I am afraid that our energy will be low." ”

"Grandpa Huang just rest assured, his grandson has already had an idea, and he can choose another Confucian to check it, and Grandpa Huang will finally choose one or two of them, and you can review and check it, without spending much energy."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly and agreed with his statement.

Succeed with flying colors.

Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"The grandson is not talented, and he may barely be able to serve as a deputy editor."

"Then pick the world's scholars, select Confucian students, and compile the canon."

"The two elder brothers can also participate, and one of the royal children is involved to show the importance."

"Second, my grandson thinks that the two elder brothers are also taking advantage of this to cultivate their self-cultivation and read poetry and books, which will be of infinite benefit to the future."

Throw these two away to make a book, and they will not be able to hinder themselves and make trouble for themselves.

Hao's head is poor, and reading books in the attic for a lifetime is the best place for them to go.

More importantly, letting them read is also a love for them!

Talking and laughing every day, there is no white ding, how good!

Moreover, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi have a faint tendency to go to the "evil road", let them study, and from then on "change the evil and return to the right", isn't it good enough for them?

This arrangement also shows his younger brother's good intentions for the two elder brothers.

Lao Zhu will never find the slightest fault.

As for himself, since Lao Zhu is the editor-in-chief, as a prince, he is the most "talented" poet in the world, and it is only natural to be a deputy editor-in-chief.

"Good! Good idea! ”

Sure enough, when Lao Zhu heard him, he high-fived and admired.

"Xi'er, you are only eight buckets high, recognized by the world, and you happen to be the deputy editor-in-chief, this arrangement is really the most suitable."

"Your intentions for the two brothers, this kind of friendship, they will definitely remember it."

Well, they're going to hate me for sure.

Still, it doesn't matter.

I don't care.

Zhu Yunxi thought silently in his heart.

"They are all biological brothers, breaking bones and connecting tendons, how can I not think about them?"

Lao Zhu looked at him, his eyes were very satisfied, and his pampering was beyond words, and the more he looked at Zhu Yunxi, the more satisfied he became.

is worthy of being the prince we picked out.

Our vision is really accurate and high.

"Good, good, good! This matter has been decided in this way, and the specific compilation matters can only be handled. ”

"Grandpa." Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu was on the rise and knew that the opportunity had come.

"My grandson also wants to write a few books of his own."

Publishing a book in this era is not a trivial matter.

Since ancient times, there have been three immortal sayings.

Virtue, meritorious service, and speech.

In fact, Lide relies on external evaluations and opinions.

Some people criticize, some people praise.

Especially in the field of interests.

Only the dead saints will still be considered to be virtuous.

Living people, very difficult.

Moreover, the virtues recognized by feudal etiquette are often very "perverted".

For example, when there is no rice to eat at home, the mother-in-law is arrogant and unreasonable, and angrily beats the daughter-in-law and blames the daughter-in-law.

Then, the daughter-in-law cut off the flesh from her body and gave it to her mother-in-law to eat.

This is "virtuous".

Cannibalistic virtue!

To make meritorious service, it is necessary to make great contributions to the world, and it is very difficult for scholars to make great contributions.

The only way to speak is what countless literati are most pursuing.

Many scholars take "making a statement" as their first priority in order to be immortal.

Zhu Yunxi has written amazing poems before, but a few poems are not as good as special classics after all.

If he writes a book at the age of seven and passes it on to the world, it will certainly cause a sensation in the government and the opposition.

Lao Zhu laughed and said, "You are so young, you still want to write your own book?" ”

"Grandpa Huang, isn't it okay?" Zhu Yunxi raised his head, looked at Lao Zhu, and asked crisply.

A young face, and his eyes are full of hope.

Lao Zhu recognized him for writing books, and he could write a lot of knowledge in later generations.

I'm afraid it will surprise everyone.

"Yes, of course." Lao Zhu was extremely happy, walked over, and picked him up.

"The grandson of our old Zhu family, who can write at the age of seven, can also publish books and pass on them, what a good story this is to spread out!"

"Our old Zhu family is the home of the Son of Heaven, the most powerful family in the world, and the most talented family, who else in the world can match? Hahahaha......"

Lao Zhu's hearty laughter echoed in the imperial study.
