Prince of Chaos

Chapter 671 The Only Injured Person
After eating breakfast with Xiao Zhu Youxiao, and after explaining a few words to him, he arranged a carriage to Xishan Huangzhuang Kindergarten to take him to school.

In order to make Xiao Zhu Youxiao more ceremonial in going to school, Zhu Changluo specially asked the Needlework Bureau of the Inner Palace to make him a small schoolbag to carry on his back.

And the things in this small schoolbag are almost all kinds of pastries and snacks prepared by Shangguan for him. As for the books and the like, it is just a comic book similar to the comics of later generations.

After sending his son off to school, Zhu Changluo also started his day's work.

One of the meetings that Zhu Changluo will host today is about the translation of Thai and Western classics.

The Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department had been waiting in front of the Ciqing Palace early, waiting for Zhu Changluo's order to be summoned.

When Zhu Changluo came to the main hall of Ciqing Palace, he briefly looked through the briefing of today's work, and then ordered: "Cabinet Xuan and the Military Aircraft Department will meet you."

Sun Xian led the order, "Yes."

Then Sun Xian went outside the hall and announced the decree: "Proclaim the cabinet, and the military aircraft department will enter the hall."

The cabinet and the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department who were waiting in the duty room in front of the Ciqing Palace hurriedly sorted out their demeanor.Then, they left this small duty room in order.

Originally, there was no such room value in front of Ciqing Palace.

Later, because of the increasing authority of the Ciqing Palace, this value room was gradually vacated in front of the Ciqing Palace.

Every day, a member of the cabinet, a member of the Military Aircraft Department, and several members of Zhongshu Schee will stay in this duty room, waiting for orders to deal with unexpected government affairs.

Therefore, gradually, the value house of Ciqing Palace became another power executive agency.Especially those inconspicuous Zhongshu Sheren inside, they have highlighted a different value from the past.

They are not only the text secretaries of these cabinet members and the Minister of Military Affairs, but also the implementers of Zhu Changluo's will.

Sometimes, they directly undertook the communication work between Zhu Changluo and the cabinet minister of military affairs.

It can be said that the current Zhongshu Sheren already has a little bit of storage.

Many people who didn't like Zhongshusheren's errands before are now sharpening their heads and want to get into the Zhongshusheren's errands, so that they can change their faces in front of the central boss and the crown prince. a good future.

Wang Xijue, Wang Jiaping, Shen Li, Shen Yiguan and other cabinet members and Shen Sixiao, Xing Jie, Dong Qichang, Liu Pinru and other military ministers were divided into two teams and went to the main hall of Ciqing Palace in parallel.

"The ministers are waiting to see the Holy Prince."

Eight people saluted and worshiped together.

Zhu Changluo stretched out his hand and raised it falsely: "Qing, wait for yourselves."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The eight thanked En and stood up, still standing on both sides clearly.

Zhu Changluo said: "Marquis Yuanyang has already brought all the classics from Western and Western countries back to Daming. Gu intends to take advantage of this grand event to revise the cultural festivals of the imperial court and other places in the past 200 years after the "Yongle Grand Ceremony."

"Over the past 200 years, the country has been prosperous and the people are safe, and countless classic cultural works have been written. In terms of novels, there are "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", and "Fengshen Romance", which are classics of a generation; in terms of poetry and prose, Yang Shen, Gui Youguang, Tang Yin, etc. are also the masters of a generation."

"There is also Wang Yangming's mind-learning of the unity of knowledge and action, which shines on the past and present, and has become a generation of sages! The attainments in calligraphy and painting and other aspects are also unique and have their own merits. They are not inferior to those of the previous dynasties."

"After 200 years in such a prosperous age, how could there not be a comprehensive collection of essays, brilliant for future generations, illuminating the past and the present? I have heard that since ancient times, the holy pilgrims have all used literature to rule martial arts, and they are outstanding in the world."

"Now it's time for the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty, and the Western and Western classics come to China. How can we not participate in the grand event, sort out literature, and proclaim it to the world?"

As soon as Zhu Changluo finished speaking, Wang Xijue, Shen Sixiao and other ministers immediately became excited.

This is a great credit!

Once this book is completed, who can participate in the compilation of the book, who will not be famous through the ages?

The biggest reason why Xie Jin, a great talent in the Yongle Dynasty, was able to rule the roost by writing is because he edited "Yongle Dadian".

But if you really talk about Xie Jin's talent, some of you may be convinced, or you may not be convinced.

After all, since ancient times, literati have always had the mentality of "no literature first, no military second".

Therefore, many people are not convinced about those great writers who have been passed down through the ages. They will only think that those great writers just happened at the right time, so they have those amazing achievements.

Now, Zhu Changluo puts such an opportunity in front of everyone, who can not be excited?

This is a cultural event that shines through the ages!

If you can participate in it, you will definitely be able to leave your name through the ages.

Wang Xijue and Shen Sixiao immediately bowed and said: "Your Highness is wise. In such a prosperous age, there should be a comprehensive collection of essays. The ministers are willing to contribute to the revision of the grand ceremony."

Zhu Changluo smiled at the corner of his mouth, that's all the literati care about.

Zhu Changluo said: "Since this encyclopedia was compiled in the Wanli period, Gu tentatively named it "Daming Wanli Encyclopedia". Wang Qing and others can recommend a person with high morals and good character and learning to be the president of this book. , in charge of the compilation of this book."

Wang Xijue and Shen Sixiao immediately bowed again: "I will obey the order."

Now that the grand event of compiling "Complete Book" has been set, the next most important preparatory work is the translation of Thai and Western classics.

Zhu Changluo said to Dong Qichang: "The Marquis of Yuanyang traveled 500 miles across the ocean and brought back [-] million Thai and Western classics. These books are still written in Thai and Western languages, which cannot make me a Ming literati see their true appearance."

"Master Dong, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the cultural and educational events of the Ming Dynasty. He decided to appoint Master Dong as the chief executive officer of the translation of Thai and Western classics. He is in charge of the translation of Thai and Western classics. The translation students of Siyi Hall and Fanyu Institute are Fanyu bachelors. Wait, Master Dong can call it. Be sure to translate Thai and Western classics in the fastest and most accurate way."

Dong Qichang bowed excitedly: "The minister accepts the decree."

Dong Qichang really didn't expect that he won a game so quickly.

This made it hard for Dong Qichang not to be excited.

Everyone looked at Dong Qichang enviously, and lamented Dong Qichang's good life.

At this time, Zhu Changluo said again: "Master Dong, since you are going to be the chief translator of the Thai-Western classics, you have to work hard for the Thai-Western level."

"Otherwise, it will be hard to convince the public if the chief translator doesn't know Thai and takes the post of chief executive. So, you have to work hard next."

Dong Qichang said: "I must live up to the grace of the saints, and be a good interpreter and president!"

Zhu Changluo hummed, affirming Dong Qichang's determination.

Then Zhu Changluo said: "The Thai and Western classics are different from our Chinese classics. Therefore, when translating the text, you don't have to stick too much to my Chinese classical Chinese. You can try to use a more plain and unpretentious literal translation of the vernacular. This way you can retain the Thai and Western classics to the greatest extent. The original taste of the classics enables people who study Western and Western culture to better and faster absorb the strengths of others and integrate them into themselves."

"In this regard, I also have a small suggestion. I hope that Master Dong can work together to invent a punctuation system for sentence segmentation, which can be used to translate Thai and Western classics more clearly and accurately, making them barrier-free reading classics."

"If this method is feasible, the Guhui will organize another group of great sages to complete the sequence of the ancient classics and make them an eternal classic."

After Dong Qichang heard Zhu Changluo's suggestion, he replied excitedly: "I have led the decree. I have tried my best to translate the Thai and Western classics, and sorted out a practical punctuation system for future generations."

Zhu Changluo looked at Dong Qichang's statement and nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, regarding punctuation marks, the two discussed this issue a long, long time ago when Dong Qichang was Zhu Changluo's tutor.

At the beginning, Dong Qichang believed that the words of a sage should not be interrupted lightly, so he had to keep the original flavor, without adding a little punctuation, without adding a little punctuation, and relying on his previous learning skills to distinguish sentence patterns.

But Zhu Changluo didn't think so. Every time, he would recognize the content of Dong Qichang's speech according to the punctuation marks he knew.

Over time, Dong Qichang also liked this simple and easy-to-understand way of reading classics quickly and without barriers.

It's just that this is the crown prince's exclusive secret book, and Dong Qichang is not easy to plagiarize, let alone speak nonsense.

Therefore, we can only watch Zhu Changluo judge classic literature in this way.

Now, Dong Qichang naturally understands the meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince's initiative to bring up this matter.

Although the crown prince did not take the credit for himself, Dong Qichang knew that the credit belonged to the crown prince.

Therefore, Dong Qichang's admiration for Zhu Changluo couldn't help but be even greater!
In fact, when it comes to the development history of punctuation marks, it is not only in modern times.

There are also punctuation marks used to break sentences in many ancient documents.

However, those symbols are relatively simple, only commas and periods in two forms.

Moreover, the ancients were conceited and didn't bother to use this form to read sentences.

Therefore, the development of punctuation is extremely slow.

Later, under the impact of modern civilization, people of insight believed that it was no longer possible to create obstacles for cultural learning.

Therefore, they gathered together to invent a set of punctuation marks for Chinese character literature, which is used to reduce the difficulty of reading, so that more people can read and understand the meaning of the article more easily.

Such progress is undoubtedly huge.

However, if there are no such external factors, the standardization and use of punctuation marks will be promoted rashly.

The result is doomed to failure.

Because the literati, bureaucrats and landlords who monopolize knowledge are unwilling to share their superiority in this way.

Therefore, they will desperately maintain the ancient reading form without punctuation and only relying on sentence breaks.

Now, here's your chance.

How many Western classics and literary works have been transferred from Europe and America.

If not, without a practical and useful translation and punctuation form, it would be difficult for Ming scholars to digest these "stones from other mountains" that came from outside.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo took the opportunity to release the use of punctuation marks.

First put these punctuation marks into Western classics and literary works to test the effect, and wait until this reading habit becomes an instinct.

It will be much easier for Zhu Changluo to add punctuation marks that can reduce the dyslexia of ordinary people to the original culture.

Therefore, no matter what you want to do, you can't make a decision with a slap in the head. It must be like fishing, and you have to go back and forth to achieve your goal.

After all, in the final analysis, the matter of reforming Daming was fought by Zhu Changluo alone.

If he doesn't understand detours, doesn't know how to compromise, and blindly relies on the power in his hands to forcefully promote reforms, the final result will definitely be counterproductive.

After all, the old-fashioned diehard forces, no matter ancient or modern, are a powerful force that cannot be ignored!

If you can't form a detour with them, dragging is like innovating with one brain, it is absolutely no different from courting death.

Because the power mastered by these conservatives is the most majestic power.

If we want to shake this force, we can only gradually guide it by boiling frogs in warm water, gradually let those who are confused see the future direction clearly, and then form a new reform force, only then can we hope to compete with the old school!
Therefore, there is no rush.

It is necessary to use the method of brightly repairing the plank road and secretly keeping Chen Cang in order to achieve unexpected results by surprise.

And these Western classics and literary works brought back by Chen Zhenlong are Zhu Changluo's way to promote punctuation marks!
When everyone is confused by this plank road and gets used to the barrier-free reading method with punctuation, Zhu Changluo will hit a hit and win the punctuation marks added to the ancient classics to break sentences!

So as to win the "Chen Cang"!The punctuation marks that can reduce the difficulty of reading have become the consensus of the world, so that people all over the world can reduce the difficulty of learning, so as to achieve a world of Datong where there is no distinction between teaching and learning!

After talking about this matter, the four cabinet ministers including Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping quietly looked at each other.

Then, Wang Xijue took the initiative to stand up.

Wang Xijue said: "Your Highness, I have a book to play."

Listening to Wang Xijue's voice, Zhu Changluo said, "Sir, if you have any remonstrance, just say it bluntly. If you have something alone, you can change it. If you don't have it, you can encourage it."

Zhu Changluo's attitude is very good, like a sage who accepts advice humbly.

Wang Xijue said: "My minister, please make up the cabinet ministers."

Zhu Changluo looked at Wang Xijue and the others in surprise, "Sir, do you want to resign? What is Gu doing wrong? Just point it out, sir, and you must not ignore state affairs."

Zhu Changluo's words almost made Wang Xijue spit out his old blood, and he was appointed to the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet. As long as he did not make mistakes in principle and was not abandoned by all officials, why did he resign?

Wang Xijue hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have absolutely no such intention!"

Zhu Changluo breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, you have to be straightforward. You can rest assured that you have Mr. leading the cabinet."

Wang Xijue was moved for a moment, and then continued: "Your Highness, I ask you to fill in the cabinet ministers, and it is also for the court. Currently, the four ministers in the cabinet do not have the post of the six ministries, which also makes it difficult for the cabinet to execute smoothly and smoothly."

"Therefore, I ask Your Highness to make up six qualified Ministers and Ministers to be cabinet ministers, so that the cabinet can more effectively and conveniently implement His Highness's will and handle the important affairs of the government."

As soon as Wang Xijue finished speaking, Shen Sixiao couldn't sit still any longer.

This old boy wants to draw the bottom line!

How does this work?

Shen Sixiao immediately came out and said: "Your Highness, absolutely not! The cabinet is above the six ministries. If you let the minister who also has the power of the six ministries enter the cabinet, I fear that the power of the cabinet will be detrimental to the stability of the country."

As soon as Shen Sixiao said this, the Ciqing Palace was immediately quiet.

Zhu Changluo tapped his fingers lightly, pretending to be thinking.

Looking at Zhu Changluo's appearance, all the officials could not help but look away in fear, and quietly waited for Zhu Changluo's sentence.

After all, Shen Sixiao's words are really destructive.

Although it didn't say how the cabinet is, but the sentence "the weight of the cabinet is not good for the country" is enough to kill everyone in the cabinet.

Faced with such accusations, the cabinet did not dare to refute easily.

After all, there were indeed several powerful chief assistants in the cabinet who despised the emperor.

For example, Gao Gong in the Longqing Dynasty and Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli Dynasty.

Relying on their power, these two tyrannical men disregarded the officials and recklessly governed the country according to their own ideas, causing the monarchy to fall by the wayside.

No one can afford such a crime.

Especially Zhang Juzheng's end, so far has shown everyone that they must stick to their duty as ministers.

After a while, Zhu Changluo said: "Although the cabinet does not have the name of a prime minister, it also has the reality of a prime minister. Since the Hu case in the reign of Taizu Hongwu, the emperor Taizu has seen through the nature of rebellious officials and established the dynasty. There is no ancestral system of prime ministers."

"Gu often thinks about the majesty of the emperor Taizu, and laments the chaos of powerful ministers at the beginning of this dynasty. Gu deeply believes that those who are ministers should keep their duties, and take loyalty to the emperor and the community as their original heart."

"Therefore, I personally think that the power of the cabinet should not be expanded, and it is not suitable to directly take over the power of the six ministries. However, when the times change, there are also times when the power changes. The cabinet should not follow the old ways and be self-styled."

"So, Gu decided to transfer Dong Qichang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, to the cabinet as the second assistant, and Liu Pinru, the minister of household affairs, to the cabinet as an assistant minister. Wang Jiaping, the second assistant of the cabinet, was transferred to the Military Aircraft Department to be the Minister of Military Aircraft, and Shen Li was transferred to the Military Aircraft Department to be the Minister of Military Aircraft."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's decree, the eight people in the hall were dumbfounded.

What is this operation?
Dong Qichang transferred the cabinet, and there is evidence to rely on. After all, Dong Qichang was a second-class Jinshi and was born in the Imperial Academy. It is understandable that he became a minister of the cabinet.

But what is Liu Pinru?
He was born as a top-ranking scholar and Jinshi, so he might not know which way the gate of the Imperial Academy opened. If he was transferred to the cabinet, wouldn't this break the rule that the cabinet should not be entered by the Imperial Academy?
However, such rules are not express rules, but just unspoken rules that have been established for more than 100 years. ,

Now, if Zhu Changluo intends to break this unspoken rule, it depends on whether the eight people in the hall know how to praise him or not.

In fact, the four members of the cabinet are very resistant.

But at this time, Wang Xijue didn't care anymore.

Because, after such an adjustment of the cabinet, there are two big yamen, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households. For Wang Xijue, this is definitely a victory beyond expectations.

Of course he would not object.

Also, Shen Sixiao would not object. Although Dong Qichang was squeezed to third place by Xing Jie, who came from behind, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Dong Qichang would skip a grade and replace him sooner or later.

With such a person behind him, Shen Sixiao panicked.

Although, this will lose a household department at once, but Shen Si Xiaozhen doesn't care, because the Ministry of Industry also has money, which is not bad for the three melons and dates of the household department.

The Ministry of Industry, which has been in charge of cement quotas for these years, needs to be nourished and nourished. To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Industry has more silver deposits than the Ministry of Households, which has just started to improve.

Therefore, Shen Sixiao did not object to this transfer at all.

Wang Xijue and Shen Sixiao exchanged a rare exchange of glances, and said at the same time: "Your Highness is wise!"

Hearing that the chief assistant of the cabinet and the chief of the military aircraft spoke like this, the rest of the people couldn't help but followed suit and said: "Your Highness is holy!"

As for Wang Jiaping, who was the only one who was injured, no one paid any attention to him.

After all, everyone accepted this result, only Wang Jiaping was unlucky.

If it was a show of hands, it would be seven to one.

Therefore, Wang Jiaping could only swallow this bitter fruit with tears.
