Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

On the contrary, the officials of the Ministry of Rites kept shouting about etiquette and laws every day, but in the end the work of supervising etiquette and laws was snatched away by the Censorate and the Inspection Office.

Their Ministry of Rites could only preside over the imperial examinations and hold ceremonies every day.

Apart from these, aren't they just good at talking?

The rebuttal from the Honglu Temple immediately hit the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the lungs.

Both sides were furious and argued endlessly on various occasions, making it a chaotic scene.

In the past, if the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple had quarreled, it would have been such a big fuss that many people would have watched.

But this time no one paid any attention to them.

What happened yesterday was really too big.

It was so loud that many people attending the party couldn't sleep all night.

After the banquet, he would go home and copy down the poems, articles and short sentences he had heard at the banquet.

Of course, most people have poor memory and can only remember a small part.

So after I got on duty, I couldn't wait to find my colleagues who attended the banquet last night to "check answers".

Then a few people got together and slowly compiled a complete collection of essays.

Afterwards, the collection of essays quickly circulated among the officials of Qing State.

The works of Li Chengyuan and Fan Xian have also begun to be interpreted and analyzed in various ways.

Some people like "To practice good conduct and speak righteously is the essence of propriety!" and "It is impolite not to reciprocate when someone comes."

There are also those who like sayings like “If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world” and “There is no greater virtue than to admit one’s mistakes and correct them.”

Of course, there are more people who like "The Great Learning" and poems about drinking.

But the most popular among them is not the poems of Li Chengyuan and Fan Xian, nor is it "The Great Learning" written by Li Chengyuan.

It was the "Four Sentences of Hengqu" that Li Chengyuan said when he was questioning Zhuang Mohan.

"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity"!

As soon as these words were spoken, they quickly spread throughout the literary world of Qing Kingdom.

It is regarded as a wise saying by all scholars in Qing Kingdom!

In particular, Li Chengyuan specifically stated that these four sentences are the lifelong pursuit of scholars!

So in order to respond to the "Literary Saint".

Many scholars in Qing Kingdom wrote this sentence on their bodies to express their aspirations!

Later, writing these four sentences on clothes even became a fashion trend, as if one was not a scholar if he did not write these four sentences.

This incident eventually developed into an idiom that has been passed down through the ages - "Zi Yi Ming Zhi", which means expressing one's ambitions by writing on clothes.

This shows how great an influence Li Chengyuan had on the literary world of Qing.

Although it has just begun, it’s already showing signs of madness!

...

Inspection Office.

Department 8 is incredibly busy today.

The Eighth Department of the Inspection Institute is mainly responsible for controlling public opinion, supervising the printing of books or publications, and ensuring the accurate transmission and communication of information.

To put it bluntly, the Eighth Department of the Inspection Institute is somewhat similar to the Propaganda Department of later generations.

It looks insignificant, but it actually has great power.

In the ancient world, there was no entertainment industry, so the Eighth Department of the Inspection Institute was mainly responsible for supervising poetry and prose.

As a result, Li Chengyuan and Fan Xian had a big outburst last night.

The amount of review tasks in the Eighth Department increased rapidly.

Unfortunately, this incident had such a huge impact that the literary circles of Qing Kingdom went crazy and sought the "Collection of Essays" everywhere.

All the major bookstores were also frantic to publish the book, but without the permission of the Eighth Office, they dared not print it privately!

So last night at midnight, Xuan Jiu, the head of the Eighth Department, was called back to the Inspection Institute by Chen Pingping, who then asked him to gather all the people from the Eighth Department to conduct an overnight review!

So the entire Department 8 was working overtime last night.

In fact, if it were just Li Chengyuan's poems and articles, there would be nothing to censor and they could just be released.

The difficulty lies mainly in the poems written by Fan Xian.

Because all the poems and lyrics without allusions, geography, or ambiguous meanings were "grabbed" by Li Chengyuan.

So all the poems that Fan Xian recited were controversial.

For example, which country is the hometown in the poem “The east wind blew again last night on my small building, I can’t bear to look back at my hometown in the moonlight”?

And who said the lines "Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms at Red Cliff... Thinking back to the days when Gongjin was young, and Xiao Qiao was just married... With a feather fan and a blue silk scarf, they talked and laughed, while the masts and oars were reduced to ashes." Who said these?

Furthermore, where is the Yellow Crane Tower in the poem “The ancients have gone away on the yellow crane, leaving only the Yellow Crane Tower here”?

.....

There are so many problems with this sentence.

At the banquet last night, Fan Xian recited a total of 64 poems, almost every one of which was more or less difficult to understand.

On the contrary, the meaning, geography and even allusions of each sentence in the poems written by the third prince are very clear, and there is no need to review them at all. You can know what he wrote just by reading them casually.

That was why, after the banquet last night, all the ministers respected Li Chengyuan as "Poetry God" and "Poet Immortal", but only respected Fan Xian as "Little Poetry God" and "Little Poet Immortal", because they could only understand half of his poems!

7 If "demigod" and "demigod" didn't sound a bit unpleasant, this would probably be Fan Xian's title.

1 Of course, Fan Xian may not care about these reputations.

⑵But it stumped the colleagues in the Eighth Department.

5 They searched the classics frantically that night, but still could not find any source.

7 The host of the Eighth Department, Xuan Jiu, was so anxious that several strands of his hair fell out.

6 In the end, Xuan Jiu had no choice but to go find Chen Pingping.

- .....

6 Inspection Institute, President’s Office.

8Chen Pingping is appreciating the collection of essays compiled for him by Bachu.

Looking at the poems and articles above, Chen Pingping couldn't hide his smile, and his eyes were full of pride.

"Dean!"

Seeing Xuan Jiu walking towards him with a tired look on his face, Chen Pingping put down the collection and asked, "What's wrong? Have you finished your research?"

"No!" Xuan Jiu said helplessly, "Dean, there's nothing wrong with the Third Prince's poems and essays, but we can't find the source of many of Fan Tisi's poems. The people in the Eighth Department have been searching all night, but they still can't find a match!"

After hearing this, Chen Pingping thought for a moment and said, "Are there any relevant records of Fan Xian's poems throughout history?"

"No!" Xuan Jiu said, "I've searched all sorts of ancient books in the eight places, but there's no relevant record!"

"If that's the case, then we can confirm it's not plagiarism. Since it's not plagiarism, there's no need for review. You, Section Eight, can just release it and print the collection as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Xuan Jiu let out a long sigh and turned around to get busy.

"Come back!" Chen Pingping called him.

Xuan Jiu turned around hurriedly.

"Remember, only grant the right to print the collection to Qiankun Bookstore and Danbo Bookstore. These are the works of the Third Prince and Fan Xian. Other bookstores should stay out of the picture!"

"Understood!" Xuan Jiu bowed, then suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, Dean, there's a rumor going around that the Third Prince is the God of Poetry, or the Immortal of Poetry, and that Fan Tisi is the Little God of Poetry, or the Immortal of Poetry. Do we need to control this rumor?"

Chen Pingping laughed when he heard this and said, "Qingguo's literary world has been weak for a long time. It's time for a poetic god or poet immortal to emerge!"

"Understood!" Xuan Jiu bowed and said, "The Eighth Division will secretly fan the flames and solidify the title of Poet God and Poet Immortal!"

"Go!" Chen Pingping said with satisfaction.

Xuan Jiu turned and left.

However, as soon as he left, Zhuge arrived.

"Dean, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple have just jointly submitted a petition requesting Your Majesty to promote the Third Prince to the rank of Prince!"

Chen Pingping suddenly looked up, a gleam in his eyes.

"You mean the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple jointly submitted a memorial?"

"Yes!" said Zhuge.

"What does Your Majesty say?" Chen Pingping asked.

"His Majesty has agreed!" Zhu Ge said, "His Majesty also instructed the Ministry of Rites to come up with a title as soon as possible, and to complete the enthronement ceremony before the Third Prince departs for Northern Qi!"

Chen Pingping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Good news! Now that we've reached this stage, it's time to move up!"

Zhu Ge looked at the smile on Chen Pingping's face and couldn't help but frown.

He always felt that the dean seemed to favor the third prince too much.

As Chen Pingping looked at Zhu Ge's expression, his eyes also turned cold.

......

The Eighth Office works very quickly.

After obtaining Chen Pingping's permission, Xuan Jiu immediately sent people to Qiankun Bookstore and Danbo Bookstore.

However, these two places moved faster than Xuan Jiu.

Early this morning, they obtained the complete collection of essays through their connections.

Afterwards, they started printing ahead of time without waiting for permission from the Censorate, and named the book "Collection of Prayer Papers", also known as "Collection of Immortal Papers"!

Of course, they only print, not sell.

By the time the Inspection Institute notified them, they had already printed some of the finished products.

Then, after getting permission, they started selling immediately.
