The emperor is embarrassed

Regarding the nationwide anti-jianghu feudal superstition campaign led by Ming Zhan, although Zhan Shaoxi was not afraid of infamy and took the lead with a tough attitude, in fact, it did not go as smoothly as Ming Zhan imagined.

Even scholars have many opponents.Of course, they are not opposed to severely punishing quack tricks, they just think that the emperor's attitude towards religion is too strict.

What a powerful person Ming Zhan is, as long as he has the military power in his hands, he is really not afraid of these literati talking nonsense.Ming Zhan directly diverted the attention of the literati with one thing.Ming Zhan directly pointed out the candidate for the editorial ceremony. Of course, it wasn't Qian Yongdao, the previous hottest candidate, but another scholar who was as famous as Qian Yongdao, Hanlin scholar Zhong Jingshu.

Zhong Jingshu's knowledge is not inferior to Qian Yongdao's. One of the reasons why his reputation is not as good as Qian Yongdao's is that Zhong Jingshu came from a poor family, but Qian Yongdao came from a century-old family.Moreover, Qian Yongdao built a school in the south, continued to teach and write books, and trained several famous students.Therefore, Zhong Jingshu loses to Qian Yongdao in terms of fame.

However, in Ming Zhan's view, Zhong Jingshu is the real scholar.

The emperors of all dynasties liked to compile books and revise history to brighten their own reputation and discredit their enemies by the way.As long as you look at what the Imperial Academy has done over the years, Zhong Jingshu has buried his head on the desk for 20 years, and his name is indispensable in the history of book writing and revision.It's just that this person is not the kind of free and unrestrained celebrity morale, and he doesn't have Qian Yongdao's immortal face. The external conditions are so much worse, and some people praise Zhong Jingshu as a master of knowledge that is not inferior to Qian Yongdao , this person, naturally has some ability.

Moreover, the most important point is that Zhong Jingshu is the official of the imperial court.

Even if this official is not very big, he is only a fifth rank.

However, because of this, people in the court, such as Li Pingzhou and Wang Rui'an, would rather let Zhong Jingshu, who is not as famous as Qian Yongdao, preside over the editing ceremony. Outsiders, could it be that you look down on the academicians of the Imperial Academy?"

Such a simple sentence blocked the mouths of half of the people, including Ouyang Ke, Minister of Rites.

Although Ming Zhan has said that he will appoint Qian Yongdao as a consultant, there are still some people who are willing to stand up for Qian Yongdao, and think that hiring Qian Yongdao as a consultant with his knowledge is really overkill.

Wang Rui'an's words solved the chaos in the court.

Are you looking down on the academicians of the Hanlin Academy by talking about the surname Qian?

What a vicious sentence!

What is the Hanlin Academy!All the six ministers of the court were born in the Hanlin, and they entered the Hanlin directly as officials since Lai Chunwei's Sanding Jia, and there is a saying in the officialdom that non-Hanlin can't join the cabinet!

Such a Hanlin Academy is simply a holy place in the eyes of scholars!

Who dares to say that he looks down on the Imperial Academy!

No matter how many people scold scholars for being sour, no one dares to say in person that they look down on the Imperial Academy!If you want a future, you have to look down on the Hanlin Academy!This is also an unspoken rule in officialdom!

Ming Zhan glanced at Wang Rui'an approvingly. This old man was stern and selfless. He dared to read Ming Zhan's love letter and put Ming Zhan in the face. Now, Ouyang Ke is naturally not in Wang Rui'an's eyes.Moreover, Wang Rui'an thinks that he is completely discussing the facts!

Seeing that Ouyang Ke shut his mouth, Ming Zhan smiled and came out to be a good person to smooth things over, "My lovers are all kind. After all, Mr. Qian is old and thin-boned. I can't bear to see Mr. Qian because The affairs of the state are overworked."

"Zhong Aiqing is also a person who has read poetry and books, has profound knowledge, and has served in the Imperial Academy for many years. Now Zhong Aiqing is only 43 years old, young and strong. This time, editing this grand ceremony is both mentally and laborious. It is not physically strong. You can't do it." Ming Zhan glanced at Zhong Jingshu who was faintly excited, and said with a smile, "Zhong Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you."

Zhong Jingshu respectfully accepted the order, "I accept the order, and I will live up to the order!"

"In the future, I will order people to set stones to remember your names, and they will be immortal!"

Ming Zhan is very good at deceiving people. After saying this, many people realized that this is not a simple job.But this matter has fallen into Zhong Jingshu's post, and it is not easy to get involved again.

After receiving the order, Zhong Jingshu asked, "Your Majesty, this grand ceremony is an unrivaled classic, what should it be called?"

Only then did Ming Zhan remember that he forgot to name the ceremony!However, Ming Zhan is a quick-witted person, he immediately had an idea, and said calmly, "Let's call it the Royal Ceremony." It was named after the royal newspaper.

Ming Zhan's temperament is like this, I will leave the matter to you, and give you the general direction, and explain clearly what to do.Then, whoever you want to use, Ming Zhan is completely part of his faction, and will also give you a certain degree of flexibility, allowing you to choose to recommend some people.

In addition, Ming Zhan wanted to use the royal ceremony to divert people's attention from religious events, so that Zhan Shaoxi could speed up the elimination of religion.What Ming Zhan did was very successful, but he only expected the beginning, but not the end.

Ming Zhan believes that in this era, the Four Books and Five Classics are actually mostly philosophical knowledge.Those who can make achievements in philosophy are at least not stupid.

However, Zhong Jingshu seems to be a different species.

Although Zhong Jingshu is good at learning, he is not very proficient in human relationships and sophistication.

Even if Ming Zhan doesn't like Qian Yongdao, he has to admit that Zhong Jingshu is far behind Qian Yongdao in terms of being good at dancing and charisma.Even, he was not very popular in the Hanlin Academy.

As soon as they heard that the emperor gave Zhong Jingshu this job, many people were unwilling to do the job.

Ming Zhan naturally had his own way to control the courtiers, so he knew more or less about the affairs of the Imperial Academy.

Strangely, Ming Zhan didn't see anything anxious from Zhong Jingshu's extraordinarily mature face.Ming Zhan felt that he had sent the wrong person.I was only focused on investigating this person's knowledge, and forgot to inquire about other aspects.

Now he has just handed over the work to others, and Zhong Jingshu has just accepted the order, and he is full of enthusiasm.Ming Zhan, as the emperor, can't change his orders day and night!Ming Zhan was thinking about when, or at a suitable time, to send Zhong Jingshu a good assistant or something, so that Zhong Jingshu could concentrate on his studies.

Forget it, there are some geniuses anyway, most of them are different from everyone else.Ming Zhan reassured himself.

However, things are often not that simple.

According to Ming Zhan's description, editing this classic is not an easy task.

First of all, the Hanlin Academy does not have so many people available.

At this time, there was a trick. Ming Zhan summoned those famous scholars from the imperial capital, which directly came in handy.

If Zhong Jingshu had been a little more flexible, then the "Royal Ceremony Incident" recorded in the annals of history might not have happened.However, Zhong Jingshu's temperament is quite dull.He is superior in knowledge, but in dealing with people, he is really far behind.

According to Ming Zhan, books are naturally divided into large categories according to astronomy, geography, agriculture, industry, etc., and then divided into small categories from the large category, so that they are arranged according to the regulations.

There is nothing wrong with the catalog method being the easiest and easiest to understand.

The problem with Zhong Jingshu is that the amount of this project is huge and the manpower used is very large.In order to express his support for the revision of the Royal Ceremony, Ming Zhan specially found a new house for them to work in. At the beginning, there were as many as 300 people who participated in the revision.

Among them, there are officials from the Imperial Academy, folk scholars, and even students with excellent grades from the Imperial Academy.

When Ming Zhan knew that someone had burned the classics, fought with Zhong Jingshu and made trouble before the imperial court, he almost turned over the table in anger.

Ming Zhan saw a bruise on Zhong Jingshu's cheekbone, his hair was slightly messed up, and his clothes were wrinkled.The other leader also had a livid face, with a three-point evil spirit.

"Who burned the book?" Ming Zhan asked coldly.

"It's a humble minister." The man kowtowed and saluted, "The humble minister has a feeling to report back to His Majesty."

"Why do you burn books?" Ming Zhan glanced at the criminal evidence around him, one volume was half burnt, and the blue book with the leftover black slag was quietly placed on the old mahogany carved tray, which directly hurt Ming Zhan s eyes.

Ming Zhan asked this person expressionlessly, and glanced at him.

"My minister was originally compiled by Hanlin, and was ordered by His Majesty to revise the classics on engineering and water conservancy. As soon as I went to the school, Mr. Zhong has sent this matter to someone else." Man, Master Zhong ignored His Majesty's order and ordered a non-official and unemployed person to take up the errand of the humble minister. The minister had nowhere to complain. When the minister asked what Master Zhong meant, Master Zhong remained silent and just drove him away. Wei Chen left. After all, Wei Chen was following the holy order, how could Zhong Jingshu be humiliated for no reason!" In the end, calling Zhong Jingshu by his name was the extreme of disdain!

Ming Zhan slapped the table, and reprimanded in a cold voice, "Did I ask you this? I asked you, why did you burn the book! Master Zhong is wrong, is this book also wrong? What are you, and Master Zhong If there is a gap, you dare to burn the book! In the future, you have a heart of resentment towards me, are you going to set fire to the palace!"

The man broke out in a cold sweat, leaned over and kowtowed, "I don't dare!"

"Why don't you dare! With your lack of talent and virtue, you are not worthy of studying this book!" Ming Zhan laughed back angrily, "Burning books! Burning books! In this bright world, under the presidency of Master Zhong When editing the royal ceremony, someone actually burned the book! You really have the guts!"

"Your Majesty, I have wronged you, and I have absolutely no intention of doing so."

"He Yu, go and count how many pages of this book he burned, one page and one board, drag it out, beat it hard!"

The guards around Ming Zhan were all extremely vigilant, they quickly silenced the man's grievances and dragged him out.In fact, this person should be thankful that according to the rules in the palace, as long as the emperor didn't say "death with a stick", he would never beat you to death.

Of course, beating disabled is another matter!

The anger in Ming Zhan's heart surged up wave after wave, he really wanted to kill that bastard.However, Ming Zhan does have a kind and soft side in his temperament. In many cases, he always hopes to try not to kill anyone!

And in Ming Zhan's position, it is very rare for him to be able to restrain his temper to a certain extent.

"What's going on?" Ming Zhan asked Zhong Jingshu coldly.

Zhong Jingshu was ashamed, and said honestly, "I am incompetent. It was Mr. Chen who was extremely careless in editing and editing. Many people sent books from home. Mr. Chen always used the books in the library as the standard. For the books sent by outsiders, many There is a sense of disdain. I think that there is always a certain reason for every book that can be printed in ink. I am very clear about how difficult it is to write a book. Since your majesty collects books from all over the world, it is natural that you should be inclusive. Even if the viewpoints of the two books are opposite, it is not necessarily unreasonable, one must be chosen and discarded. I think that Mr. Chen is not suitable for this position, and Mr. Chen often mocks the gentlemen summoned by His Majesty. Your Majesty, Chen Nai came from a poor family. There are many people who are not officials. It is not necessarily because of knowledge. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have called them to the imperial capital. Now they are willing to contribute to His Majesty's royal ceremony. It’s really an act of loyalty to the country. If we are lucky enough to have an official position, we shouldn’t crowd out other gentlemen.”

"This is also due to my incompetence. I didn't explain clearly to Mr. Chen, so Mr. Chen... made some rebellious actions."

Ming Zhan glanced at the wound on Zhong Jingshu's face and asked him, "Are you a fool? You don't know how to hide when someone beats you?"

Zhong Jingshu's face turned red, and he said in a low voice, "Master Chen knows how to punch and kick, minister, minister is really not good. My colleagues also helped to stop me, and I didn't hurt it on purpose. A small injury is not a hindrance of."

"In the past, I thought you were too dull and maybe not suitable to be the leader!" Ming Zhan said directly, "But now, I have changed! Although you are a bit stupid in your mouth, you are a sensible person in your heart! You are right, do it It’s also quite right! What I want is not a single statement from any one family, what I want is a book that covers the whole world! There are still times when various schools of thought confront each other, let alone others! As long as it is a meaningful book, it must be included!”

"There seems to be someone with the surname Chen, just push him out!" The new official took office three times, and if he didn't kill others, how could he sit in the top position.Ming Zhan wanted to give Zhong Jingshu another chance. He reminded in a deep voice, "I want you to preside over the editing of this book. You have the right and the courage! In the future, this grand ceremony will be written by you Zhong Jingshu If you mess up your mission, I won’t let you go. In the future, future generations will also have to say, look at this Zhong, what kind of nonsense ceremony is held!"

Zhong Jingshu couldn't bear His Majesty's vulgar words like this, so he responded again and again.

Ming Zhan comforted Zhong Jingshu a few more words, "Relax your heart, I let you take this position, you can do it!"

Zhong Jingshu is really not a mellow person, if he were to change the emperor, he would definitely not be able to keep his position as the president of the Royal Ceremony.Because, after the fight in the Royal Grand Canon Library, the ministers wrote memorials at home like sharks smelling fishy, ​​and they wrote memorials one after another. It's not that Zhong Jingshu was wrong.After all, Ming Zhan had already punished Master Chen, so Zhong Jingshu was naturally on the right side in the emperor's heart.

But even Ming Zhan has to admire the vicious vision of politicians.

They firmly grasped Zhong Jingshu's Achilles heel.

No one said that Zhong Jingshu was wrong, but the courtiers also pointed out that this matter was all caused by Zhong Jingshu's seniority, unable to convince the public and reconcile the relationship with his subordinates.The general idea is that this person, although knowledgeable, has a low position and a low position, and is not suitable for the post of president of the Royal Ceremony!

A piece of fat meat, take off the lid of the pot, smell the fragrance, there will always be a cat to snatch it!

Ming Zhan listened to the courtiers talking about various principles, slowly narrowed his eyes, and showed a mysterious smile.
