Chapter 153 Far East Commercial Group (2)
Not to mention, Zhu Yunqiu felt something wrong during this period, but he felt a little unhappy, and sometimes he was even a little tired, not to mention the case of King Zhou, which made him feel even more breathless.
These emotions are intertwined and cannot be overcome.
But last night, after half a night of busy work, I was not tired when I woke up this morning, but I was happy and comfortable in my body and mind. Even my back was much straight when I walked.
No wonder...no wonder this thing has been unavoidable from ancient times to the present.
What is forbidden is simply the source of men's happiness and self-confidence!
There was no court meeting today. After Zhu Yunyu entered the warm pavilion of the Ganqing Palace, he had just sat down and a minister handed over a sign to prepare for the meeting.
Moreover, the person who came surprised Zhu Yunyu, Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin.
Although both of these two people are famous for their talents, they are quite unfavorable in private. Fang Xiaoru is a rigid gentleman, while Xie Jin is both distracted and careless. Fang Xiaoru always pays attention to his identity as a scholar, and Xie Jin can play with anyone.
"Let them come in!" Zhu Yunxiu put down the sign in his hand and said, "Go and get some jasmine tea. I want to drink some light today!"
"Yes!" The turtle replied, turned around and ordered the eunuch to bring people in, while he silently helped Zhu Yunxiu pour water and make tea.
After a moment, the two of them came in one after another.
Both of them had something in their hands, Fang Xiaoru was a book of documents, while Xie Jin was holding a brocade box.
"What's the matter when I come to see me so early?" Zhu Yunxi asked after giving the two seats.
"It's a happy event when you go back to the emperor!" Xie Jin stood up and spoke first, "It's a great joy from auspiciousness from heaven..."
"Yeah!" Fang Xiaoru seemed to be disgusted with Xie Jin, a junior. He was happy when he spoke in front of the emperor and coughed twice.
"Master Fang, please tell me!" Zhu Yunxiu felt a little funny. These literati even have to distinguish who speaks first.
"Yes!" Fang Xiaoru stood up and said seriously, "Your Majesty still remembers that there was a case in the Ministry of Justice in the autumn, and an ancient tomb excavation case in Shaanxi!"
Zhu Yunxiu thought about it, "It's true!"
Tomb robbery is a serious crime. Once discovered, the tomb robber and his immediate relatives must be clear about the punishment of the canon to serve as a warning, which is a serious crime that is unforgivable.
"At that time, several bronze ware were seized from the case of excavation of ancient tombs." Fang Xiaoru continued, "One of them was initially determined by the Hanlin Academy of the Ministry of Rites and the royal family of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. These bronze wares are not allowed to be kept privately by the people, so they exist in the Great Inner Palace!"
"Well, you continue!" Zhu Yunxiu continued.
"When autumn begins, I am ordered to check the large memory books and the antiques in the warehouse to be placed in categories!" Fang Xiaoru continued, "Find this artifact in Zhaoren Palace!"
Zhaoren Palace and Wenyuan Pavilion are both libraries in the Forbidden City.
In fact, for the royal family, these antiques or gold and silver treasures are just things. In the Forbidden City, to be precise, in the eyes of the professional class of people, the most precious thing in the world is books.
Books are the root of inheriting culture and are indispensable!
The royal family has always had a tradition of keeping books and collecting books. This is not the emperor's personal preference, but the culture and education that involves the entire world.
Zhu Yunxi asked Fang Xiaoru and the Hanlin Academy to organize the ancient books stored in the palace. On the one hand, they had something to do so that they could avoid making trouble in the government affairs all day long. On the other hand, they were also preparing for future book reviews.
In his previous life, he believed that in his book cognition, ancient and modern books of ancient and modern emperors, he was just an official article made by the emperor to demonstrate his literary achievements.
But now the more I understand this era, no, the older I get, the more I understand the importance of writing books.
Because it is the essence of a nation, the thoughts of a nation, the culture of a nation, and the inheritance of a nation.
Even the books themselves are symbols of this nation.
"Yeah, let's continue!" Zhu Yunsheng said.
"I found something wrong with this bronze ware!" Fang Xiaoru said, opening the brocade box in his hand. One bronze ware with a thickness of shape and exquisite craftsmanship, long neck and belly, and exquisite animal face patterns, came into view.
Regarding this thing, Zhu Yunyu was just an amateur watching the fun and said, "What's the difference?"
"It's not from Spring and Autumn!" Fang Xiaoru used the sleeves of his official robe to carefully wipe the place he had just touched, "It's a royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, Western Zhou!"
"Western Zhou? That's something that happened thousands of years ago!" Zhu Yunxiu said in his heart, and smiled, "Isn't it strange about the Western Zhou Dynasty? There is nothing close to the age in Shaanxi!"
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Fang Xiaoru said seriously.
"You continue to talk about how auspicious it is!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.
"When I identified this object, I found that there were inscriptions in the bronze ware!"
Fang Xiaoru said, Xie Jin next to him unfolded the long scroll in his hand and delivered it to Zhu Yunhuang.
There are all uneven and unrecognizable words on it, and Zhu Yunqing doesn't recognize them at all.
"I am familiar with miscellaneous studies and have a lot of knowledge about these ancient texts!" Xie Jin said proudly, "Mr. Fang and his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy were puzzled. They found the weak ministers and translated them one by one according to the ancient books. This was a nobleman who was called to be cast by him during the reign of King Cheng of Zhou."
"This thing was cast because after King Cheng of Zhou built the capital, he gave edicts to the younger generation of the royal family. He mentioned the story of He's father following King Wen, lamented the achievements of He's clan, and gave him thirty friends. He was the Lord to commemorate this matter."
Bei and Zhu Yunqiu knew that they were one of the ancient currencies.
"How can it be said to be auspicious?" Zhu Yunxiu said, looking at the exquisite bronze ware.
"There is this sentence on the inscription!" Fang Xiaoru said before Xie Jin spoke first, "Only after King Wu defeated the Dayi Shang, the court told the heavens, saying, "I am here in China."
As he said that, he also pointed out the words on the document to Zhu Yunxi.
The Chinese character is similar to the later Chinese character, while the Chinese character is somewhat abstract.
"There was a saying about China in the Western Zhou Dynasty?" Zhu Yunxiu pondered and murmured to himself.
"Emperor!" Fang Xiaoru kowtowed, "The inscription of this lord mentioned China more than 2,400 years ago. It is the earliest thing that mentioned Chinese in the texts of all dynasties. Our Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and recreated China. Your Majesty and the Emperor were ordered to govern China from heaven and work hard to govern the country and the people."
"When the river is clear and the sea is quiet, this thing is revealed in the world. Isn't it the auspicious gift from God to me for the great brightness?"
Zhu Yunxi's face gradually became solemn.
He looked down at the bronze ancient lord, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch the inscription on its inner wall.
The bronze ware is not cold, but it seems to be a little warm when touched.
The inscription means that this is the land where King Wu lived earlier. King Wu destroyed Shang and prayed to heaven that we would rule the four directions here, and this will be the center of the world.
China is the central country in the world.
Things from more than two thousand years ago still shine through countless storms.
This land has changed dramatically, and the world has changed countless times, and the race reproduction is still called China.
Inscriptions and bronzes are lifeless, but the meaning of the words is lifeless.
The words of our ancestors more than two thousand years ago have been passed down to this day. From another perspective, we can also regard them as letters left to our descendants.
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Yunxiu praised repeatedly, "A great achievement is indeed a sign of auspiciousness of the country!"
"Emperor!" Xie Jin smiled, "Actually, I have different opinions in this China." As he said that, he smiled again, "Scholar Fang does not agree with me. However, I think this China is a separate Zhonghe country, not the whole world!"
