Qian Song

Chapter 282 Li Qingzhao: Ask the official to see Zhao Mingcheng (ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

Li Cun waited for Li Qingzhao to put on makeup for nearly an hour.

If this matter spreads out, it should be compared with the meeting of Zhao Ji and Li Shishi.

Li Cun has a patience that is completely inconsistent with his age.

Moreover, in front of Li Cun, there were two cute little guys, Li Tong and Li Tong, and Qin Hui was talking to him about maritime trade reforms and even economic reforms to pass the time.

This makes time go by very quickly.

Finally, Li Qingzhao finished dressing up and walked out accompanied by Mrs. Wang.

How to describe Li Qingzhao at this time?
She has a sweet face, big eyes, and curled eyelashes. I can't tell her exact age, but on the surface, she looks as bright and charming as a young girl.

On the whole, she can't say how tall she is, but her body proportions are excellent, especially her enchanting figure and plump breasts look very seductive.

Such a woman is a typical childlike young woman, the type who will not look old in a lifetime.

Take a closer look, it is obvious that she has been carefully dressed from top to bottom today.

Li Cun guessed that Li Qingzhao might have armed her with all the good things she possessed, right?
Although it seemed that because Li Qingzhao wanted to make up her own makeup so much, and show Li Cun her best side, she made a big effort.

But Li Cun can fully understand Li Qingzhao's original intention, so he won't be unhappy about it.

In fact, there are often such women in Li Cun's harem, and Li Cun is very tolerant of them.

At this time, Li Cun and Li Qingzhao met again after more than two years, and Li Qingzhao was obviously a little cautious, even a little bit at a loss.

Qin Hui's goal has basically been achieved.

——Although Li Cun did not immediately promise Qin Hui an official position, Li Cun had already asked Qin Hui to summarize what the two of them discussed just now, and then gave himself a detailed memorial.

At this moment, seeing Li Cun and Li Qingzhao, their old lovers, meeting again, Qin Hui immediately winked at Li Hui, Wang Shi and others, signaling them to leave quickly.

As for Li Cun's bodyguards such as Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu, Yizhangqing, etc., they have long been used to Li Cun's affairs and they stand guard.

Li Cun walked up, hugged Li Qingzhao's waist, and said to her with confidence, "You are beautiful today."

Li Cun was just an ordinary movement, a simple sentence, but it made Li Qingzhao happy like never before!
And what Li Cun did next made Li Qingzhao even happier!

Li Cun actually walked into the room with his arms around Li Qingzhao.

Although Li Qingzhao was full of enthusiasm, on the surface, Li Qingzhao was still reserved and said: "What is your Majesty going to do?"

Li Cun said with a smile: "I want to give you the greatest respect for your meticulous preparation today."

While speaking, Li Cun brought Li Qingzhao, who was half-pushed and half-resigned, into the room...

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Cun got up.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao hurriedly got up with his exhausted body to wait for Li Cun to wash.

suddenly!

Li Cun said: "You were so coquettish last night."

Li Qingzhao's movements stopped abruptly, and his face became hot all of a sudden!
Li Qingzhao wanted to explain to Li Cun that she was not like this before, really not like this.

But Li Qingzhao didn't want Li Cun to remember her past experience.

As a result, Li Qingzhao, who was in a dilemma, suddenly became at a loss again!
Seeing this, Li Cun squeezed Li Qingzhao's little face and said with a smile: "I like it, it gives me a sense of accomplishment, and I will continue to work hard..."

Li Qingzhao made Li Cun's heart flutter, but she was too embarrassed to show it, so she could only help Li Cun get dressed shyly.

Li Cun likes Li Qingzhao.

So, looking at Li Qingzhao's shy little face

By the time Li Cun and Li Qingzhao got up, it was already dawn.

Li Cun said to Li Qingzhao: "You pack up and go with me later."

Hearing the words, Li Qingzhao said hesitantly: "Officials, can ministers and concubines not enter the palace?"

Li Cun asked: "Huh? Why? Don't you want to be my concubine?"

Li Qingzhao didn't say that because of her age, she had low self-esteem and dared not enter the palace to compete fairly with Li Cun's countless beauties; she also didn't say that she didn't want others to know that she was a married woman Cheating on Li Cun ruined her and Li Cun's reputation; she didn't even say that she didn't want to be treated like a canary by Li Cun in the palace like Li Cun's other women.She just lowered her head and asked Li Cun, "Is that okay, official?"

Li Cun has just entered the Central Plains, and his ass has not yet settled down. Of course, he doesn't want others to know that he steals married women, although there are not a few married women he has played with.

Of course, if Li Qingzhao wants to enter the palace with Li Cun, it is impossible for Li Cun to not have this responsibility.

Now, Li Qingzhao took the initiative to express his reluctance to enter the palace, and Li Cun was naturally happy with everyone.

So Li Cun said to Li Qingzhao: "It's all up to you."

When Li Qingzhao heard it, he immediately beamed with joy!

But what Li Qingzhao didn't expect was that Li Cun said again: "However, even if you don't enter the palace, you still have to go with me..."

……

More than half an hour later.

Li Qingzhao followed Li Cun to Longde Palace.

When Li Qingzhao saw Zhao Ji's pile of cultural relics and books, he immediately showed a childlike expression of surprise.

Looking at the lonely copies and books that have been lost outside, Li Qingzhao couldn't put it down.

At this moment, Li Qingzhao really wanted to say to Li Cun: "There is a gust of wind and rain in the evening, washing away the scorching light. After cleaning the reeds, but putting on light makeup on the water chestnut flowers. The crimson silk is thin and the skin is clear, and the snow is greasy and fragrant. Laughing sandalwood Lang: The pillow in the kitchen is cool tonight." Let Li Cun love her again at night.

But Li Qingzhao is no longer a little girl, knowing that Li Cun has given her enough, she can no longer be greedy.

But Li Cun said to Li Qingzhao: "I want to compile a "Hongwu Dadian", where all the books of classics and history have been collected from hundreds of schools since the book contract. For a book, there is no need to be too numerous! This is to demonstrate my national prestige and benefit all generations..."

Historically, when China's feudal dynasties developed to the Ming and Qing dynasties, not only did the centralized system develop to the extreme, but the economic level and cultural attainments also reached unprecedented heights.

In a sense, the rapid economic and cultural development is just one of the achievements of the centralized system.

Let’s not talk about economic development and achievements.

One of the signs of great cultural development is that the Ming and Qing dynasties each compiled a magnificent masterpiece - "Yongle Dadian" and "Siku Quanshu".

Because of these two successful precedents, Li Cun is also planning to create a set of scriptures, history, sons, and collections, involving astronomy and geography, yin and yang medical skills, divination, Buddhist scriptures, drama, crafts, and agriculture, covering the Chinese nation. An encyclopedia of thousands of years of knowledge wealth, if conditions permit, Li Cun even plans to create a world encyclopedia, which will contribute a powerful force to the cultural inheritance of the Chinese nation, and even the cultural inheritance of the entire human race.

Li Qingzhao's eyes brightened the more he listened!
She felt that Li Cun's novel idea was simply too great. Once it was realized, it would surely benefit the present and future generations.

However, Li Qingzhao still had some doubts, so she asked curiously: "When your Majesty is compiling the "Hongwu Dadian", will you delete or criticize the classic books?"

Although both "Yongle Dadian" and "Siku Quanshu" are magnificent masterpieces, there are actually differences between them.

The content of "Yongle Dadian" focuses on the objective records of all kinds of materials included, and only makes necessary error correction and necessary annotations for all kinds of knowledge documents involved, without too much criticism.

While the "Siku Quanshu" included the original anthology, it not only artificially made deletions and changes, but also added a lot of comments.

The reason why "Siku Quanshu" changed the original text is to not violate the basic consciousness of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

The evaluation is based on the orthodox Confucian ideology and culture, teaching people, especially intellectuals, to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and there is a lot of preaching.

Although this kind of didactic evaluation article is also written by everyone, and there is no shortage of good articles that are straightforward and well-written, but dogmatic things are often lackluster, or even overcorrected.

And this kind of artificial deletion of the original text is a biased and distorted interpretation of the original text, and even a kind of blasphemy.

Based on these two points, the final result is that "Yongle Dadian" is relatively objective and all-encompassing, while "Siku Quanshu" is mixed with too many subjective factors, which inevitably violates the taboo of affectation.

Li Cun never thought that relying on an encyclopedia could teach people to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Furthermore, although Confucianism can teach people to be loyal to the emperor and love the country, with the changes of the times, this kind of rigid thought of loyalty to the emperor will definitely become outdated.

At that time, the shortcomings of the canon with too many subjective factors will be highlighted.

It is precisely because of this that the evaluation of "Siku Quanshu" is much lower than that of "Yongle Dadian".

Therefore, without hesitation, Li Cun said, "I don't have time to review so many books, and if I listen to both, I will be clear, and if I listen to it, I will be dark. It is better to objectively record all kinds of materials included, and only do a good job of all kinds of knowledge documents involved. The necessary error correction and necessary annotations, as for the evaluation, anyone can do it, but it should not appear in the "Hongwu Dadian", which is only for people to consult."

After hearing the keynote set by Li Cun, Li Qingzhao felt relieved at once.

in fact--

Li Qingzhao was still worried before that Li Cun wanted to compile the "Hongwu Dadian" in order to show the prosperity of the country and the high level of culture under his wise leadership, and even to satisfy the vanity of Emperor Li Cun and to be able to leave history. name.

Now it seems that even if Li Cun edited the "Hongwu Dadian" because of his great success, but because Li Cun knows what to do and what not to do, it is not impossible to accept Li Cun's selfishness.

In all fairness, as a generation of emperors, if there is no determination and self-motivation to be reconciled to others, it is tantamount to "mediocre" or even "incompetent". There shouldn't be too many accusations.

The point is, if you want to do such a big thing, only a talented and bold monarch can do it.

You must know that the magnitude of this project is unimaginable, and even thousands of literati were used for it, and it may take many years to complete the compilation.

This is not counting the work of the later copyists who performed column tracing, clear copying, drawing and punctuation.

If these people are also counted, the people needed, and they are literati and various professionals, cannot be counted.

And mobilizing so much manpower and material resources, and I don't know how many years it will take to compile the "Hongwu Dadian", the cost must be not small.

In addition, in addition to the support of a large number of talents and financial resources, it also needs a strong appeal.

The "Hongwu Dadian" that Li Cun wanted was an encyclopedia that included a subset of the classics and histories of the world. Therefore, the compilation materials could not be limited to the so-called royal collections.

Only when Li Cun promulgated the decree, spread it all over the world, expropriated folk books with great sincerity, and in the form of rewards, claiming that his purpose was simply to complete a magnificent masterpiece that had never been seen before, could the readers of the world respond positively. At the call of the country, donate all the precious books that have been passed down from their ancestors.

——To be honest, most of the people who can afford to read in this era are rich people. Most of the reason why they take out their books is not for the material rewards from the imperial court , more is the sincere original intention of being able to contribute a little to the development of the country's cultural undertakings.

Next, Li Qingzhao discussed with Li Cun the compilation of "Hongwu Dadian" very enthusiastically.

And Li Cun has been patiently answering all the questions of Li Qingzhao.

This made Li Qingzhao even more excited.

After Li Qingzhao had no problems, Li Cun said: "I want to organize and set up supervisors, presidents, vice presidents, and presidents to be responsible for all aspects of the compilation of "Hongwu Dadian."

Speaking of this, Li Cun looked at Li Qingzhao, smiled and said: "I asked you to be the supervisor, and I will let you decide who to edit the "Hongwu Dadian", how about it?"

Hearing this, Li Qingzhao opened his small mouth enough to swallow an egg.

If the matter of presiding over the compilation of "Hongwu Dadian" is done well, it will definitely be accompanied by the magnificent "Hongwu Dadian" and go down in history.

More importantly, this matter is so meaningful!
It is the abyss of compilation of lost books, sorting out and sorting out in it, and bringing together the classics scattered in various volumes, so that many lost books can be reappeared in the world.

This is definitely something that all real scholars are extremely willing to do, and Li Qingzhao is no exception.

But there is one problem, that is, Li Qingzhao is a woman, and in this era, men are superior to women, and Li Cun entrusts her, a woman, to be responsible for such an important, revealing and competitive matter, is it really okay?

So Li Qingzhao couldn't help asking with some hesitation: "Why did the officials... ask the concubine to preside over the compilation?"

Li Cun did not say: "I believe that you, who are noble, resolute, and knowledgeable, will be able to compile the "Hongwu Dadian"." He just asked her: "Do you know why Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching?"

Li Qingzhao thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer.

Li Cun said to Li Qingzhao: "Because I am willing."

Li Qingzhao reacted for a moment, then covered his mouth and laughed endlessly.

At this time, Li Cuncai said to Li Qingzhao: "You can rest assured to compile "Hongwu Dadian". The Hongwu Dadian can only be edited and compiled, as for the rest, everything is up to me."

After hearing Li Cun's words, Li Qingzhao's heart became hotter, and she almost pushed Li Cun back.

But in the end, Li Qingzhao didn't do such a crazy thing because of the woman's shyness.

After a while of relaxation, Li Qingzhao said: "If the officials ask the courtiers to compile the "Hongwu Dadian", the courtiers will definitely do their best to edit the "Hongwu Dadian", but the courtiers still have to ask the officials first."

Li Cun asked: "What's the matter?"

Li Qingzhao organized his speech for a while, and then said: "I ask the officials to see Zhao Mingcheng..."
