The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 57 Jin's Quick Thought

Luo Qi came over and comforted in a low voice: "That's how you look for books in Hanyuan. Sometimes you can't find one for half a month. Don't worry, just look for it slowly. If you can't find it, I will help you find it. Who knows that Shibo and your father are the same year." "

Yan Chengjin wanted to say with a grimace, "Sir, looking at your appearance, your daughter and I are really not suitable for each other."

But considering that I have to do errands in Hanyuan in the future, and I don’t know how long it will be, I have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden.

He came to the cabinet again. Among the many bookcases in the cabinet, the bookcases he looked through yesterday had been marked by him.

Huh...

What a big battle today.

Li Dongyang and three others were waiting by the bookcase. Yan Chengjin saw Emperor Hongzhi, who was rummaging through the bookcase for some book.

No wonder I just passed by the duty room and didn't see anyone. It turned out that they were all here to serve the emperor.

Yan Chengjin hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin, has met!"

Li Dongyang frowned slightly and gestured to him with his eyes, "You brat, you misplaced your hand," and quietly made a gesture to Yan Chengjin.

The gestures of bowing one's head and pausing one's head are slightly different.

Yan Chengjin took a look and his posture became more standard.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him sideways: "I have been browsing here for a long time, but I can't find it. I only remember what is said in the book, but not the title, which is troublesome. The Yan Qing family is also looking for the book, right?"

Yan Chengjin carefully speculated on the holy meaning and thought for a while: "I also came to look for books, but I couldn't find them. Just like Your Majesty, there are too many books here. They include everything that is not available in the market, and each category is diverse. It takes some time, which is normal.”

Emperor Hongzhi turned around and smiled like the bad guy on TV: "I seem to smell flattery. Does the Yan Qing family know where this horse comes from?"

Yan Chengjin's heart trembled violently, and he almost lost his mind and became confused.

The concentration of this flattery is only 1%, but His Majesty actually smelled it?

Emperor Hongzhi really knew everything. He heard that Liu Jian often recommended some officials from his hometown to come to Beijing. Although he did not check carefully, he knew whether these people could be used.

However, if he dared to slap the dragon's fart, Yan Chengjin also foresaw what would happen if he slapped the dragon's claws.

Yan Chengjin came to his senses out of desperation: "I'm not talking nonsense. What I said is that I have something to advise."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, but it was a bit of a reminder: "Tell me, I don't like to hear flattery."

"Your Majesty can't find the book because the collection of books is in disarray, and not only is it not conducive to searching, it will also cause other risks.

Since ancient times, each dynasty has had more than one collection of books. In the Han Dynasty, there were Dongguan, Lantai, and Hongdu; in the Tang Dynasty, there were Secretary Supervisor and Jixian Academy; in the Song Dynasty, there were Chongwen Museum, Secretary Province, etc. However, in the Ming Dynasty, there were The secret knowledge of the past saints and the important collection of books are stored in the inner palace. Most of them are unique copies. If they are lost, it is impossible to get them again. "

Emperor Hongzhi was fascinated by what he said, but he didn't know what he wanted to say. "Keep talking."

Yan Chengjin raised his head slightly: "I feel that whether it is an isolated copy or other important classics, there should be more copies, one copy from Wenyuan Pavilion in Nanjing, one copy each from Wenyuan Pavilion, Imperial College, and Cabinet of the Capital, so that it is more stable.

The books piled up in cabinets today, some of which don’t even have bookcases, are piled high and are easily lost.

Chen believes that official books are divided into four categories: Jing, Shi, Zi, and Ji, while miscellaneous books are placed according to astronomy, geography, novels, and art, and then subdivided by age. The same is true for class books.

Then the scribes recorded them in books and distinguished the books according to time and age.

If I look for a book again in the future, I won’t have to mess with it again. "

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Every time I look for a book, I always feel that I can't figure it out. What you said seems to make sense."

Li Dongyang and three others knelt on the ground: "This is a crime of dereliction of duty!"

In my previous life, when I went to the library to pick up books, I had already used a computer. If I couldn't find a book in a day, the computer would make me laugh to death.

Li Dongyang lamented: "Since Emperor Yongle moved the capital to the capital, many books have indeed become orphans from south to north. There has not been a large-scale investigation so far. What Yan Chengjin said does not make sense."

Emperor Hongzhi was happy and said to Yan Chengjin: "I didn't expect that you only came here to read the book once and you would have such profound insights. I will not pursue the charge of flattery. I will act openly and honestly in the future and be an upright person." , Do you know that you can’t follow those tricks of patting one’s beard and riding a horse?”

You've already said that you've dried up your saliva, but you don't give me any reward at all?

Is this for nothing?

Yan Chengjin responded: "I will follow His Majesty's teachings and be an upright and trustworthy person from now on."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: "You emphasize the word credit so strongly. Are you trying to remind me to record your merits?"

Yan Chengjin said straightforwardly: "If I want it, Your Majesty will not give it to me."

Emperor Hongzhi sneered, and he really dared to admit it: "If you come up with another opinion that satisfies me about the collection of books, what if I give you a credit?"

Do you think that my talent as a gentleman is exhausted?

No, no, no, the veteran driver just got on the bus.

Yan Chengjin sneered in his heart: "I know that your majesty's words will become the constitution, and you will not joke! He will definitely keep his word. In fact, I just thought of something else. The Wenyuan Pavilion and the cabinet where the books are now housed are all made of wood, and There are so many books gathered. If there is a fire accidentally, all the books will be burned. It is better to rebuild the first floor, using only earth and stone as materials, and hide the valuable books in the copper cabinet, so that even if it catches fire, there will be no fear. "

Emperor Hongzhi looked solemn. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace burned down.

Li Dongyang and the other two looked grim, and they also remembered the burning of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

There are so many books, many of which are unique. If they are really burned, the unique knowledge of the ancient saints will be lost.

They didn't think that the study would catch fire. Now that Yan Chengjin mentioned it, they noticed the importance of this matter.

Emperor Hongzhi became serious: "Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and thought carefully: "I want a gold medal for exemption from death."

"…………" Emperor Hongzhi.

Li Dongyang rolled his eyes.

Do you dare to ask for silver, even gold will do!

Emperor Hongzhi coughed and said seriously: "I will keep my word and send it to your house in a while."

Yan Chengjin was overjoyed and kowtowed to thank him. Now his father also has a medal on his head.

In the evening, the sunset in the sky painted the entire Forbidden City with golden light. Yan Chengjin found "Cunxinlu" and returned to the Hanlin Academy.

Wang Shouren and others copied for a day, and when they saw that he had found the book, they finally felt a little relieved.

Yan Chengjin found a place to copy slowly.

Yang Jingxin looked at Yan Chengjin, a little reserved: "The new school is prevalent. Among the three masters, Qingshan Jun and Chuanshi are unknown, but Mr. Yingkesong is the father of Brother Gao. I am so shameless. When Mr. Ying returns to Beijing, I want to visit Mr. Ying at your house. I wonder if Brother Gao can introduce me to him?"

Li Kang also looked over and bowed politely: "I also respect Mr. Yingkesong, but it's a pity that Menglou has been completed. When I wrote Menglou, Brother Yan could often read the first manuscript, right? Can you... also introduce me to him?"

Wang Shouren copied his book silently like an old monk in meditation.

The two of them were harmless, and Yan Chengjin hummed.

Speaking of Menglou, my father is also a talent. He has been in the empty city for so long, but he can still write such a deeply emotional book.

Is it that the more you lack something, the more you want it?

It's time to go to work.

Yan Chengjin deliberately lingered in the Hanlin Academy for a while before leaving.

Wang Shouren and his friends didn't have sedan chairs, so they walked into the palace. When they went out with them, would they take a sedan chair or not?

Yang Jingxin and Yang Kang rented a small courtyard together in Dongcheng District.

Wang Shouren rented a small courtyard in Xicheng District, and Wang Hua had a large mansion in Beijing, which was very rich.

As for why he moved out.

Yan Chengjin asked him, and Wang Shouren's answer was incredible.

"I want to be alone."

Maybe the ideas of saints are always different from others. If it were other children, who were used to a comfortable life in a rich mansion, even the slightest discomfort would be suffering.

Yan Chengjin was about to leave, but found Zhu Houzhao coming, so he quickly shrank back and sprinted a hundred meters towards the west gate.

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Lao Gao, I knew you were going to run, Liu Jin, catch him for me!"

Today is the test run, I'm going to ask all the book friends to take the lead, please add your collection and votes
