Chapter 29 Compilation, not nonsense
Hallym Temple.
Li Dongyang's pen is like flying, densely packed with fly-headed small letters, covering the entire bookcase, which is staggered and looks pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly noticing that the light was dimming, Li Dongyang raised his head suspiciously, and when he saw the person clearly, he hurriedly put down his pen and got up to salute:
"The student has seen Yongqinghou."
"Less courtesy, less courtesy." Li Qing smiled and said, "I haven't been here for some days, where have I written?" ”
"Back to Master Hou, it's been three years since it was compiled in Jingtai." Li Dongyang said, "These are all manuscripts that have just been written, and they have not yet been refined and purified. ”
"Hmm... Good. Li Qing stepped forward, supported the imperial case, and reviewed it word by word......
After a quarter of an hour, he looked up and asked, "Where did you get all this information, and where did it come from?" ”
"Part of it comes from the living officials of the first emperor, and more from the recital of the Jingtai period, as well as the archives of the first emperor's governance measures, and ......"
Li Qing raised his hand to interrupt, "I mean...... Where is your original article? ”
"Next door, Liu compiled them and they were responsible for finding them, and then the students summarized them." Li Dongyang explained.
"You don't have to...... Do you copy it? ”
"This is just the first draft, and we have to confirm it again and again, and then refine it step by step." Li Dongyang explained, "What Hou Ye saw before was the final draft, and the book case can only be regarded as a draft, and there are many inspection steps;
By the way, Jingtai has been finalized in the second year, do you want to look at it? ”
"There's no rush to this." Li Qing said, "You go and bring the original source first, and I'll take a look." ”
"Yes, Marquis Yongqing, wait a minute."
Li Dongyang waved and hurried away.
After a short time, he came in with a large stack of books, more than thirty of them.
Li Dongyang put the book on the tea table aside, opened a book and turned to a certain page, stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, please look, lines 27~38 of the manuscript are from here." ”
Li Qing took the book and compared it with the manuscript one by one, word for word.
"You've memorized it all?"
"I've read it once, and I'll remember it." Li Dongyang said naturally.
"......," Li Qing said, "You find out the original source of the manuscript, and I'll compare it." ”
And he didn't believe it anymore.
Li Dongyang said yes, found out the original text one by one, and asked Li Qing to compare.
…
Half an hour later, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and it was rare that a manuscript of more than 5,000 words did not find a single typo.
This memory is simply invincible...... Li Qing was amazed, but also a little puzzled, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, why not compare it to copying?" ”
"Yongqinghou doesn't know, many of these books are secret, there is a strict time limit for borrowing, and many of them are unique, unless they are damaged, the Internal Affairs Office will publish new ......," Li Dongyang said hesitantly, "After all, this is a ...... It cannot be spread widely. ”
Liu Xiu wrote that they first found out the key points, and then the students read it and memorized it by heart, and then they continued to look for it...... Finally, it is typeset, summarized and summarized; This saves a lot of time. Li Dongyang explained the reason.
"That's it!" Li Qing was stunned.
He has always been concerned about national affairs, and he really doesn't know much about these minutiae things.
Listening to Li Dongyang say this, I realized that compiling the record was really not as easy as I thought.
But this time, he found another talent. ωWω.GoNЬ.οrG
Li Dongyang arched his hand and said: "If the Marquis of Yongqing has no objections, the students will be absent for a while, and return these books to Liu to compile them." ”
"Hmm... Go ahead. ”
Li Qing bowed his head, he was not in a hurry to watch the actual record, and he became very interested in this young descendant.
If such a talent is not reused, it is really a loss for the Ming Dynasty, but it is also necessary to investigate and investigate, don't be a scholar who reads dead books...... Li Qing secretly pondered.
After a while, Li Dongyang came back from next door and asked, "Does Yongqinghou want to review, summarize, and summarize the final draft?" ”
Li Qing is the auditor, and whether it can be decided depends on Li Qing's opinion.
"Bring it."
Li Dongyang nodded, walked to the bookcase, took out the key to open the lock, took out the final draft and handed it to Li Qing, "This is the final draft of the second year of Jingtai, please take a look at it." ”
"Hmm." Li Qing took it and said, "You continue to be busy with yours, don't worry about me." ”
"Yes." Li Dongyang arched his hand, walked to the bookcase and sat down, and continued to write silently.
At first, he was still a little restrained, but seeing that Li Qing was just reading the manuscript quietly, he gradually relaxed and immersed himself in his own world.
This is the first time Li Qing has participated in the compilation of Ming Shilu, and he is very serious, afraid of disappointing Zhu Qiyu.
The actual record records the emperor's life, which is too long, so he pursues conciseness and uses the shortest words in order to write more content.
It's not that I feel sorry for the paper, but if I use all the vernacular, I will have at least tens of millions of words, and no one will be able to read it.
Rao is like this, and basically not many people read through the Ming Shilu, including Li Qing, because the content covered is too complicated.
In addition to the records of Renzong, others... Including the records of Taizu and Taizong, he didn't read them all.
Let's just say that the content of the second year of Jingtai is sixty or seventy thousand words, which are all recorded in literary narratives, and only the facts are recorded, not the causes and consequences.
Fortunately, Li Qing has experienced most of them, otherwise he can't understand them, and even so, he has a hard time reading them.
After watching it for an hour and a half, Li Qing finally finished reading, he closed his eyes, went through it in his mind, and then walked to Li Dongyang and sat down.
Dip the pen in ink, write down the cause and effect of the major events on the paper, and the coping attitude of Zhongzong Zhu Qiyu, which makes the character image fuller.
"These, added in the final version."
Li Dongyang took it, looked at it roughly, and hesitated: "Forgive the students for their courage, Master Hou can guarantee that these are all ...... True? ”
"Of course, this is all my own experience and personal experience."
Li Dongyang said: "What does the student mean...... Is there a source? ”
"Yes, I wrote it!" Li Qing said naturally.
“……”
Li Dongyang was entangled, as a disciplined historian, the compilation of the record should uphold a serious and rigorous attitude, not ...... Whatever Li Qing wrote, he made it up.
Compilation, not nonsense.
Although Li Qing is in a high position, his words are not enough to represent absolute facts.
"You don't have to doubt that what I wrote is true." Li Qing said.
Li Dongyang really wanted to say: How do you prove it?
But he couldn't say this, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Master Hou, apart from you, can anyone else confirm this?" ”
"This ......" Li Qing was embarrassed.
Not really!
Seeing Li Dongyang's embarrassed face, Li Qing didn't want to force him, after all, this is a history book, and people's attitude is worthy of affirmation, so he said:
"That's it, I'll take this draft to the emperor for the emperor's attention, if he agrees, you can add it again, how about it?"
Li Dongyang nodded slowly: "So...... It's troublesome for Master Hou. ”
In fact, he would prefer to record something that is supported by literature, so that it can be credible, but he also knows that some things need to be compromised.
Li Qing put away the manuscript he had written and asked, "Listen to your accent, you are also a local of Shuntian, right?" ”
"The student's ancestral home is Huguang Chaling, and because his family has been in the army for generations, he lives in Shuntian." Li Dongyang explained.
He muttered in his heart: Why is this Hou Ye asking this?
Li Qing bowed slightly, and said with interest: "I heard Liu Jian call you a prodigy, not only because of your memory, right?" ”
"Uh... Be. Li Dongyang faintly noticed that the old marquis seemed to be deliberately cultivating, and he was not hiding it at the moment, and said reservedly, "The student has been good at reading since childhood, and he is somewhat famous, and he was specially recruited into Shuntianfu School at the age of eight. ”
Li Qing: "......"
You are ashamed of this, and others will not be able to live.
How many people have white beards, and they are still worried about Zhongju, you haven't even reached the crown, so you will be a jinshi and awarded a jishi; Is it simply a top student among top students?
It's too Versailles...... Li Qingqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, nodded and said, "It is worthy of being a prodigy, what books does Prodigy Li usually like to read?" ”
Li Dongyang smiled awkwardly, as if he was not used to Li Qing calling him so, and replied: "The students have a lot of complicated knowledge, and they have read the books of all dynasties, um... I like the Three Kingdoms the most. ”
"So coincidentally?" Li Qing smiled, "Ben Hou also likes to watch the Three Kingdoms, you ...... right"
He suddenly stopped, and realized that the Three Kingdoms he liked to watch were not the same thing as what others liked to watch.
One is romance, the other is historical data, and it is not on the same channel at all.
If you want to say: What do you think of Guan Yu's warm wine and Huaxiong?
It is estimated that Li Dongyang does not know how to deal with it.
Li Qing diverted the topic and talked about other things, and the general direction of the topic was to guide the government and politics.
He made no secret of his appreciation.
Li Dongyang was named a prodigy, so he could naturally hear the sound outside the strings, and immediately showed an attitude no less than the original scientific examination, and solved the problem......
After chatting freely, Li Qing became more and more fond of Li Dongyang.
Although Li Dongyang is a little too idealistic, this is because he has not yet stepped into the temple, and Li Qing also likes this kind of idealistic person.
This is a rare quality, after all...... There has never been a shortage of bureaucratic people in the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that the actual recording took too long, and it didn't take much to talk for a while, it was already approaching evening, Li Qing got up and said, "I won't delay you to be busy, as for the content of the actual record...... I'll go back and see the emperor first. ”
Li Dongyang got up and arched his hand: "Yongqing Hou go slowly." ”
When Li Qing's figure disappeared from sight, he returned to the bookcase and sat down, muttering to himself, "Isn't it... Because my surname is also Li, Yongqing Hou treats him differently? ”
The two have no intersection, and Li Dongyang can only think so, in his opinion, there is no good thing in this world for no reason.
But he ignores that there is another thing in the world called luck.
And there is also Bole, but the premise is that it has to be a maxima.
~
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang...... Both of these guys are not bad. Li Qing whispered to himself, "Li Dongyang is better, but he is too young, and he has to stay up for qualifications, um... Liu Jian is in his thirties, and when the actual record is compiled, he can talk to the emperor and use this to promote him. ”
Li Qing leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and said to himself: "There are still some more talents to be discovered, although gold will always shine, but if you find it in advance, you can also shine in advance." ”
