Perhaps because today was the day when Chen Fusheng, a group of newcomers, came to report, Xie Song, a bachelor from Hanlin, specially rushed over from the Ministry of Rites to arrange work for them.

Xie Songzi Yuntian, a native of Kansai, has just turned 50 this year, but it has been two years since he took over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he can achieve such a high position at this age, and his own qualifications are naturally extraordinary.

However, he did not suppress Chen Fusheng, a deviant Tanhua in the hearts of the old party, but treated Cui Dongbi and Lu Run equally, and politely invited them to sit, serve tea, and talk.

I don't know if it's because the city is deep or if I'm a real humble gentleman.

He is a well-deserved predecessor in the scientific field, and with the embroidery on his chest that symbolizes the second grade, Chen Fusheng and the three of them will naturally not say anything unruly.

Cui Dongbi, as the champion, was naturally the first to speak, only to see him salute, and said politely: "I'm just waiting for the end of the evening school and getting lucky, where can I sit in front of the ministry, the three of us are the most appropriate." ”

Xie Song didn't insist, brushed the five long beards on his chest, and said with a warm smile: "Since that's the case, I'll get down to business and arrange an errand for you in the Hanlin Academy." The three of you are all from first-class backgrounds, so it is needless to say that in addition to writing edicts for the Son of Heaven on a daily basis, and sorting out inscriptions and sacrifices, the biggest task is to study the literary and historical classics of the past dynasties and learn to deal with government affairs. There are two things you can choose from at the moment, right?"

After a pause and a sip of tea, Xie Song slowly spoke under the gaze of the three of them.

"The first is the "Great Canon" of this dynasty, this matter has begun since Taizong, which lasted more than 70 years, and the person responsible for presiding over it is Wen Lao Xiangguo, and there is a history book of the previous dynasty, this history book lasted longer than the "Great Canon", since the founding of Taizu six years to now, it has taken nearly 100 years, and now there is the last part left. Whether you choose the "Great Canon" or the revision of history, just talk to me. ”

The three of them who can pass the Sanding A test can be called well-read, and they naturally understand the difference between the two.

The "Great Canon", also known as the "Great Canon of Eternity", was a great wish made by Taizong when he was in power.

Every time there is a war that changes the dynasty, there are countless books that are omitted or even lost, so not long after Taizong of the Great Qi succeeded to the throne, he decided to collect all the books in the world and compile a set of canons that can be passed down for eternity.

The purpose of the compilation is: "All the books of the book since the deed of the scriptures and histories are subset by the hundred schools, as for astronomy, geographies, yin and yang, medical divination, monks, and the words of skills, they are compiled into one book, which is not tired of being voluminous." ”

Among them, astronomy and geography, literature and art, philosophy and religion, political history, and other encyclopedic documents are all-encompassing, and they are the first and most important tasks in the world.

Although the canon has been completed a long time ago, there are still a succession of unique ancient books that have been excavated or presented from the people, and new books have been written in a steady stream. So the work has actually never stopped, and the Canon has been under reconstruction.

Since the four successive generations of emperors of Daqi, this work has never stopped, and most of the Zaifu of the past dynasties have also served as presidents. There is a trend of how many years the national fortune is, and how many years the "Great Canon" will be compiled.

It can be said that it is a real eternal karma.

Another task is also extremely important, because there has been a tradition for a long time that the history of the dynasty is never written in its own history, but is carried out by the next victor.

This is a superstition, they think that without repairing history books, they can ensure that their country can be passed down for generations to come, and will never be destroyed.

But after all, this is just a luxury.

And it is rare to revise a history book for hundreds of years like this dynasty.

This is mainly due to the fact that when the previous dynasty was revising history, in order to clear away the local opposition forces as quickly as possible and calm the domestic situation, it took less than three years to rush to the end.

And then that history book was naturally criticized as incomplete.

In view of this, Daqi really strives for perfection when he is repairing this history book, and I don't know how many additions and deletions he has experienced... It's only here that we get to where we are today.

These two kinds of work have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it can be said that the work has truly formed a model, and there are many officials and scholars involved. As long as the work is carried out according to the requirements, it is still counted as doing things under a big man like Wen Yuan.

But comparatively speaking, revising history is a more rewarding task.

The history book is now being repaired, and it is nearing the end, although there is a suspicion of dividing up the fruits if you participate in it, it is foreseeable that once it is completed, it will have a very bright future.

And any emperor attaches great importance to this kind of thing, not only will often ask about the progress, but also will personally read every article, as long as the pen power is reached, it is very likely to leave an impression on the emperor, and take the opportunity to become Jane's figure in the emperor's heart, and the future is naturally self-evident.

Almost without thinking, Chen Fusheng made a decision.

"The student chooses the Canon. Cui Dongbi, the champion, was the first to speak.

"I chose to study history. The second person to speak out was Lu Run.

Tanhua Chen Fusheng fell to the end and said: "I'm the same as Brother Cui, let's choose the "Great Canon". ”

"Well," didn't comment on anything, Xie Song nodded, and took up the pen to write it down, "Then you can get to know the corresponding colleagues today, and you can officially start tomorrow." ”

On the first day of the newcomer's arrival, it is natural that the entire Hanlin Academy will go out for dinner, and after three rounds of wine, the three of them not only successfully recognized the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, but also successfully established a shallow friendship with several colleagues who will work together in the future.

By the time the wine and banquet were over, the bright moon was already hanging high, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy stopped their interest in chanting poems, clasped their fists with each other, and returned home.

The same is true for Chen Fusheng, but this time he will not return to the Jiannan Guild Hall. After the palace examination, he officially asked someone to buy two houses in the capital and moved all the things there.

A larger one is naturally prepared for himself, and a smaller and more remote one is for the three mothers and sons of the He family.

When you arrive in the capital and enter the officialdom, you will inevitably meet Father He in the same year.

In this case, whether it is for He Xiangjun or himself, he is not suitable to continue to live with the He family.

And since the plan has begun to be officially launched, it is also a matter of course for Chen Fusheng to cut off relations with unrelated people.
