I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 344: Enemy King Ti Fucks

""Shangshu" says: Only the ancestors of the Yin Dynasty had books and canons. The canons and books are in the books, and the history and rituals are cast. The Qilin Pavilion in the Han Dynasty, the Hongwen Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, and the Secret Pavilion in the Song Dynasty were all places where books were collected. Since the founding of the country, this dynasty has attached great importance to classics. For education, Wenyuan Pavilion is set up as a collection of books.

After Chengzu succeeded to the throne, he gathered talents. Since then, he has compiled books from hundreds of schools of thought on classics and history. As for astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical divination, monks and crafts, he compiled them into a book called "Yongle Dadian", a total of 2 books. Twelve thousand eight hundred and seventy seven volumes, eleven thousand and ninety-five volumes.

After the book was cast, it was repaired several times and was originally stored in Wenyuan Pavilion in Nanjing. The original copy is stored in Wenyuan Pavilion and the copy is stored in Huang Shicheng.When His Majesty ascended the throne, he could not bear to hide such imperial masterpieces deep in the palace, so he built a library next to the Confucian Temple.

A copy of the "Yongle Dadian" was placed in it for exhibition by the Ming Dynasty subjects.To show the emperor's intention to work diligently and love the people, educate all people, and harmonize all nations. "

Shen Guan stood proudly next to the newly built Ming Dynasty Library, and solemnly recited the imperial edict to the people kneeling in front of the audience.

Every time he read a sentence, the pride and joy in his heart grew stronger.

When he knew that the emperor had let him take charge of the new library, even though he was a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and a minister of military aircraft, he couldn't help but be a little excited.

After all, this is a great cause to benefit all people and benefit future generations.It is a good opportunity to leave a name among scholars and scholars. Any scholar who sees him in the future will respect him and admire him for accomplishing such a great thing.

I wonder which scholar wouldn't want to bear such an honor, and he has lived up to the emperor's favor and worked hard, and now it's finally time to bear fruit.

"After the imperial edict, I will be free."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Shen Guan solemnly summarized the imperial edict, looked at Sun Chengzong beside him, as well as Ding Shaoshi, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, and others, and nodded slowly.Then he held the imperial edict in his hands and looked solemnly at the newly built library that he presided over.

This is a three-story, nine-couplet, double-eaves, hard hillside roof building, with brick foundation, brick walls, and pine wood frame structure. It faces south and faces the sun, and is moisture-proof.

The ten houses downstairs are lined up around the hall and separated one by one.Ten rooms are combined into one on the second floor, separated by bookcases in the middle, which are used for collecting books and reading and copying books on weekdays. The library has windows at the front and back, and the bookcases have doors on both sides, making it ventilated and open.

There is a large gilt plaque hanging on the door of the hall in the middle of the library, with five characters "Da Ming Library" written on it.There is also the words "Yubi in the first year of Tianqi" in the lower left corner, letting others see that this is the word inscribed by the emperor himself.

Shen Guan looked at this scene with satisfaction beyond words.

This is only the first part of the library, which is only used for viewing and copying on weekdays. There is an auxiliary building behind this building, which is where the real books are collected.

It's just that not all construction has been completed yet, and it will take some time, but now only the main building is ready for use.

Shen Guan took Sun Chengzong and others and walked in slowly. In the middle of the main hall, there was a huge red sandalwood table with a portrait of Confucius. Shen Guan placed the imperial edict flatly and solemnly on the table, and then took Sun Chengzong and others. People kowtowed again.

Just as the officials were kowtowing, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd, and then a sharp sound came from the distance.

"The decree has arrived!"

Shen Guan and others looked at each other and hurried out without being surprised at all. They saw the eunuch Wang Tigan, the eunuch Wang Tigan, holding an imperial edict and speeding through the crowd with many young eunuchs.

"Chen Shen Guan and Sun Chengzong took over the order."

After hearing this, everyone knelt down one after another. Wang Tiqian slowly opened the imperial edict and read it to Shen Guan and others.

"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict: I have heard that the new library has been built, and it is in line with my wishes. I have ordered an internal fund to allocate 10 taels for the construction and renovation of the library. In addition, although the books used in the library are "Yongle Dadian" , but since Yongle, there have been many books in the country.

I have thought about it and issued an edict to encourage officials of the Ming Dynasty to donate their own treasured books to the library for the scholars to study and read. Anyone who donates a book can leave his or her name in the book to show encouragement.Admire this! "

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

When they heard that the emperor had given a full 10 taels as funding for the library, everyone present secretly exclaimed.Many people may have never seen 1000 taels or 100 taels in their lives, let alone 10 taels.

When Wang Wu and others heard this, they secretly calculated in their hearts how much money the 10 taels would have.But the scholars in the audience didn't care about this. What moved them was the intention to donate books, that is, anyone who donates books can leave their name in the book. This is not an opportunity for those who donate books to leave their names forever. Well.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel excited, and they wanted to go home and look through any solitary classics, etc., so that they could present and leave their names when the time came.

"Your Majesty, your work is done."

Shen Guan took the imperial edict with both hands and thanked Wang Tiqian with a smile on his face.As the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces. Wang Tiqian came here to give them money. How could he not make them happy?

"Mr. Shen Ge and Mr. Sun Ge, this is what our family should do. We are all running errands for His Majesty. I am honored to be able to contribute to this grand event." Hearing Wang Tigan say this After hearing this, Zhuang Jichang, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and others standing behind Sun Chengzong and Ding Shaoshi showed disdain.

He secretly cursed in his heart that this eunuch would really put a lot of money on his face. He was just running errands to issue an imperial edict. He also said that he was doing his part. He was really a servile person.

Shen Guan and the others at the front were obviously better at nourishing qi and holding people up than they did. After hearing Wang Ti's self-promotion, they even cooperated wisely.

"Indeed, now that the library is newly built, it needs more money and books. The prince's visit can just solve the problem of the library."

Wang Tiqian laughed immediately after hearing this, thinking that Shen Guo was a very sensible person, no wonder Wei Eunuch told him to befriend him.So I continued to chat with Shen Guan, but the more I chatted, the more I felt something was wrong.

It was now approaching noon, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Wang's body was so hot that he felt dizzy and hot. He wiped his sweat with a towel several times, but Shen Guan and others acted like nothing happened, wearing official uniforms and still chatting with him. .

Thinking of this, he looked at the imperial edict in Shen Guan's hand impatiently, and murmured in his mind why this man didn't take him into the library. Could it be that he just stood here all the time in the hot weather?

But the more he couldn't bear it, the calmer Shen Guan, Sun Chengzong and others became, refusing to let him in without even opening their mouths.

"Mr. Shen Ge, it's getting late. I think it's time for the library to open. Let's go in and let our family take a look at the shape of the library. We can also go back and return to His Majesty."

At this time, Shen Guan pretended to have suddenly realized something, nodded repeatedly, quickly handed over his hands to apologize, then turned to Wang Tiqian and Sun Chengzong and said:

"Why did I forget about this? Then I will take the prince in for a visit. Mr. Sun Ge, then you will be responsible for opening the museum."

Sun Chengzong immediately nodded in understanding. Wang Tiqian was very satisfied and immediately asked Shen Guan to lead the way. He also wanted to see what the scene was like inside.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tiqian immediately followed Shen Guan, but he realized something was wrong after only a few steps.Shen Guan led himself to the right side of the main hall of the library. Why not go in directly through the main hall.

When he saw this and asked Shen Guan why, he suddenly saw a noise coming from behind him. He turned around and looked closely, and saw Sun Chengzong leading Hanlin Academy Ding Shaoshi and others into the main hall with their heads raised.

"Haha, Eunuch Wang, don't be offended. Mr. Sun Ge is a little impatient. Just come with me. The library's collection rooms are at the back. It's more convenient for us to go in through the side door. Eunuch, just come this way with me."

Wang Tiqian immediately realized what Shen Guan meant. When he heard this, his face turned livid and he glared at Shen Guan fiercely.

"Mr. Shen Ge, that's great. Our family really made a mistake. I was still thinking about you just now. Just as Eunuch Wei said, you are a reasonable and unconventional person. I never thought that you would also fall into the secular world. Yes, it’s because I look down upon our disabled bodies and I’m afraid it will stain the library.”

When Shen Guan heard this, he waved his hands quickly and apologized.

"The prince is joking, but your majesty has issued an edict that all subjects of the Ming Dynasty can read and copy. Of course you are included, how could you not be allowed in? It's just that the book collection is indeed at the back, it's faster to go through the side door. "

Seeing Shen Guan speaking righteously and without any scruples, Wang Tigan felt angry for a while.

But now he has nothing to do with Shen Guan. Seeing him standing there without any compromise, it seems that he will never let himself go through the front door. He can only make a note of this in his heart, and wait. It's never too late.

"Lead the way, don't keep His Majesty waiting too long."

Seeing Wang Tigan give in, Shen Guan immediately led the way and led Wang Tigan towards the back door.

Then he took Wang Tiqian to walk around the library, but there was nothing to see. At present, the library only has a main building, and a large area behind it is empty, waiting for renovation later, and there is nothing good to say.

In addition, Wang Tiqian suddenly lost interest after being exposed to such a situation. He listened to Shen Guan's explanation without saying a word, and soon left.

Shen Guan looked at Wang Tiqian who was walking away in anger, his face expressionless, and he was not afraid to do this in his heart.After all, as the library was run by him, he naturally wanted to leave a good reputation in Shilin.

If he led Wang Tiqian into the hall in a grand manner in front of so many people, the scholars present would definitely be dissatisfied.

When the time comes, it would be a small thing for him to be labeled as a lurking eunuch, but it would be a big thing to desecrate a sacred place like the library and make the scholars angry and attack him.

Therefore, he would rather offend Wang Tiqian than take him into the main hall. This is a matter of principle.

However, he also knew the consequences of doing so. Eunuchs have always been narrow-minded and will retaliate. What's more, Wang Tiqian was also the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was responsible for the rituals. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future.
