Section 19 Hongwen (1)

At the beginning of the founding of the country, in order to promote culture and education, the Hongwen Museum was set up to collect books and classics from all over the world, and the Hongwen Museum had a collection of 200,000 books when it was first built, and now it has a scale of nearly 350,000 volumes. When the Kanto Rebellion broke out, when the Son of Heaven left Bai Yujing, he did not forget to let people seal the Hongwen Pavilion and leave a special person to take care of it.

From the pre-Qin period to the present dynasty, all kinds of classics, whether it is the hundred schools of thought such as Confucianism and Mo, or the doctrines of farmers, yin and yang, and soldiers, are all collected in the Hongwen Museum. The "Spring and Autumn Period" alone is divided into five categories: "Zuo Chuan", "Ram", "Gu Liang", "Zou Clan" and "Jia Clan" according to the different factions of the biography annotations.

During the reign of the Emperor God, in order to prevent fires or wars from spreading to the Hongwen Pavilion and causing the precious classics to be lost, he specially ordered the establishment of the Guanwen Pavilion and the Zhaowen Pavilion in the northern capital Taiyuan Mansion and the eastern capital Henan Mansion respectively, and the scholars of the Hongwen Pavilion were responsible for transcribing them.

Poor Emperor God died soon after the holy decree, this major project became a fatherless child, the prime ministers Xiao Gui Cao Sui ordered the completion of the God Emperor's bequest, but the scholars of the Hongwen Pavilion, a total of only more than 20 people, to copy nearly 700,000 books, many of which also involve very complex pictures, even if you copy a copy every day, you have to copy at least 60 years.

So the bachelor of the north gate has become a motherless child, an unlucky yamen who can't be blacker anymore.

Li Xu got off the public opinion and walked into the Hongwen Pavilion under the escort of Li Congxian.

This place is indeed a bit of Wenhua introverted taste, the Hongwen Hall is surrounded by the courtyard wall, the blue brick and black tile have a special interest, the courtyard is planted with pine, bamboo and plum orchids in pieces, and several tile houses are hung with different number plates at the door, such as "the first in the Ministry of Scripture", "the fourth in Yuefu" and the like.

In addition to these very literati garden decorations, the air is also filled with the smell of herbs of insect repellent. Only two young officials wearing round-necked green robes knelt in the middle of the courtyard wearing a black sha.

"The Hongwen Pavilion Bachelor is so lazy, why don't you come to greet him?" Li Congxian snorted behind Li Xu, obviously angry. The official system of the Yu Dynasty, there are eight bachelors in the Hongwen Pavilion, twelve straight bachelors, and now there are only two petty officials in green robes who come to greet them, the Yu Dynasty system, the purple robe above the third grade, the fourth grade of the scarlet robe, the fifth grade of the shallow scarlet, the sixth grade of the seventh grade of the green, the eighth grade of the nine grades of the green, the bachelors of the Hongwen Pavilion should wear the scarlet robe above the fifth grade, but the two who wear green robes can be welcomed, Li Xu wants to come to the Hongwen Pavilion has already been passed by the inner servant, and the bachelors of the Hongwen Pavilion actually do not come to greet him, of course Li Congxian can't bear it.

"Qiqi Sheng, today the Han family took a concubine and invited many colleagues, bachelors and many colleagues to the banquet. ”

Li Xu calculated in his heart that there were many officials surnamed Han in the DPRK, probably the three more prominent, the Han family in Longxi, the Han family in Xiangzhou, and the Han family in Changli. One of the most prominent is the Han family in Longxi, when Han Gang was the male favorite of the Holy Queen, he later achieved the position of Zhongshu Ling step by step, and became a veritable prime minister. And Han Xiangye has a good way of governing the family, not only in Bai Yujing, there are several weaving fields in Yizhou and Yangzhou, but also in Bai Yujing's famous tricks, Han Xiangye are the pioneers of the trend, the polo team, Han Xiangye got it, the wrestling sumo league, Han Xiangye got it, and recently it seems that there is an unlimited fighting competition, and some Jianghu people are fighting each other with swords and swords.

can let the scholars of Hongwen Hall go to the banquet of concubines, needless to say, it must be Han Gang's family to take concubines, but I don't know which son of Han Gang is taking concubines, and what is the origin of the concubine. Li Xu thought about whether it was necessary to get a gift for the Han family to celebrate, after all, he had always wanted to win over Han Rui.

"I don't know if it's the family of the member of the Bibu or the family of General Zuo Jinwu who takes a concubine?" Li Xu asked, Han Gang has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Han Zhang is now a member of the Bibu Wailang, and the second son Han Rui is General Zuo Jinwu.

The emperor's question embarrassed the two green-robed straight scholars, and they didn't hear back for a long time. In the end, one of them replied: "Back to the saint, it is neither Han Bibu nor Han Jinwu, it is Han Lao Linggong who takes his own concubine." ”

Li Xu remembered that Han Gang was almost seventy years old now, and he was really old and strong.

Han Xiang took a fancy to the Oiran Musk Hua girl of Mingyue Xuezhilou, and gave out fifty horseshoe gold and two hundred Shu embroidery as a dowry. Thanks to Han Xiang's natural divine power, the students are not envious of Han Xiang's Yanfu, they really envy Han Xiang's good body. Another straight bachelor replied, his tone was ridiculous, and Li Congxian behind Li Xu was happy.

"The two gentlemen are still flat, and have not yet asked the names of the two bachelors. Li Xu put his hands on his hands and let the two Hanlin straight scholars who were kneeling on the ground get up. He knew in his heart that Han Gang was a well-known prime minister of the peace, and he was kind to people for his government, and he wanted to take a concubine, and all the officials would probably go to eat a glass of wine. There must be another reason why these two straight bachelors did not go to eat this cup of wine with their fellow officers.

"The student Niu Monk and the child, the fourth year of Yuanping, was the supervisor of the imperial history. ”

This person is very good at reading, Li Xu glanced at Niu Monk and Child, this person is mediocre, he looks like he can be a jinshi in his thirties, his writing should be very good, but he shouldn't be very good at being a person. Although the rank of the supervision of the imperial history is not high, only the eight grades are high, but the position is lowly and powerful, and it can be divided into hundreds of bureaucrats and patrol according to the counties. If you have supervised the imperial history, you can often enter the six parts of the Lang or the outside of the Lang, or go out to a certain state to make a history of assassination, there is no special change, and you should not go to the Hongwen Museum to copy the book.

"Weichen Li Deyu, who has no fame, once served as a school scrivener, and joined the army as a farmer and a criminal in several feudal towns, and now he has gone around in a circle and then copied books in Hongwenguan. ”

Li Deyu, this name is so familiar. Although the channels that can be used are limited, Li Xu has been trying his best to collect information from the court, and he has a hero genealogy in his heart, and the name Li Deyu has also appeared repeatedly.

"You...... Aren't you a record of the Shuofang army joining the army?" Li Xu suddenly remembered that the news of the Uighurs' southward movement was reported to the imperial court by a superintendent named Yuan Zhen, and the original source of this information was reported by Li Deyu, a member of the Shuofang army.

"People say that Your Majesty is like Taizu Taizong, but Your Majesty is really excessive. Li Deyu said with a smile, he was a very gentle young man, although he stood in front of the emperor in a light green robe, his smile still revealed confidence.

"Bachelor Li, your performance only reported to the imperial court today, logically speaking, you should still be in the Shuofang army, how can you go to Hongwen Pavilion as a straight bachelor?" Li Xu asked curiously.

"Qiyu Shengshang, Weichen reported that the recital of returning to the south of the Falcon was sent to Lu Xiangguo two months ago, and Wechen selected the ministry to copy the book a month ago, as for why Yuan Zhen wrote to the imperial court the day before yesterday, it was because Lu Zhen was too timid, and he did not dare to stir up the wind and rain without exact news. ”

This person is very unusual. Li Xu looked at the young man with the same surname as him again, and continued to ask, "So, the Uighurs have already gone south two months ago?"

"When the Uighurs went south, we don't know. ”

"Then how do you know that they are going south? Two months ago, you wrote to the imperial court that the Uighurs were going south, and even if the news of Fengzhou came slowly, it would be a month before you knew whether the Uighurs were going south, so how dare you report to the imperial court that the border situation that did not happen?"

Li Xu felt a kind of disgust in his heart, this Li Deyu really didn't understand the style of the imperial court. Now that the army is stretched thin, the treasury is empty, it doesn't matter if he blindly reports the military situation, if the center makes a wrong judgment and wastes valuable troops and materials, who will be responsible for this responsibility at that time?

"Your Majesty, the weather gets cooler in September, right? ”

"Not bad. Li Xu nodded, he wanted to see how sharp this Li Deyu was and was still arguing here.

"In September, the Shence army in Beijing will be transferred to various towns in Longxi to prevent autumn, because when the wheat is ripe in September, Tubo will be on the border. ”

"Yes," Li Xu sighed, after the weakening of Dayu's national strength, Tubo came to the east, not only ate the Western Regions, but even the land of Longxi fell into the hands of Tubo, and the people of Dunhuang, Wuwei, Lanzhou, and Qinzhou were driven into slavery by the Tubo chieftain, and life was worse than death. The Tibetans will invade from the west every autumn every year, and as long as they cross the Fengxiang Festival envoy in the west of Baiyu Jingxi, they can directly point to the Xianyang Bridge. In order to defend Tibet, a large number of troops must be dispatched every autumn to prepare for the autumn defense.

"When the autumn wind blows, you don't have to think about it to know that the leaves are going to wither and fall. As soon as the spring breeze arrives, you don't have to guess to know that the peach blossoms will bloom. Whether the Uighurs would go south or not, we don't know, but in previous years, as soon as the border trade opened, our merchants would take silk silk to exchange horses and furs with Uighur merchants, but since the beginning of this year, there have been far fewer Uighur merchants who have come to exchange silk silk. Wechen knew that the Uighurs would inevitably change, because the Uighurs could make a hundredfold profit by selling the silk silk of our dynasty to Persia, Daqin, and other countries. ”

So I checked the merchants' ledgers and found that the price of Uighur horses had been rising since last year, and that the Uighurs were willing to exchange silk for our grain back to the grasslands. At that time, Weichen knew that there must be a war in the Uighurs, and when the merchants were willing to exchange silk for grain, it must be when the profits from selling grain were greater than the profits from silk. If the profits of food are to skyrocket, it will be either a big war or a catastrophe. Whichever of these two things happened, the Uighurs would inevitably go south, so I wrote this piece of music in the hope that the imperial court would take precautions as soon as possible. ”

Li Xu looked at Li Deyu's heart and turned over, seeing a leaf falling and knowing that autumn was coming is not a great skill, and being able to see the movements of the Uighurs from the border trade is a great skill, not to mention that Li Deyu said it easily, the account books of those merchants are so easy to see? The news that the Uighurs want to exchange grain is so easy to ascertain? Just as the so-called kung fu is outside the poem, there must be many articles in it to find out the situation. However, this Li Deyu is like a light weight, and he is really a talented person.

If Li Congxian has the talent of the prime minister, most of his talent is the talent of the prime minister of Taiping, and this Li Deyu is really the talent of the prime minister who saved the time.
