But due to a fire in the palace more than 50 years later, the Yanfu Ceremony was burned down.
The Ministry of Rites' set of blessing-enhancing rituals was lost a lot due to borrowing and reading from the ministers of the Ministry of Rites in previous dynasties.
Therefore, the original manuscript of the Yanfu Ceremony from the Hanlin Academy is the only complete version that still exists.
Of course, at this point, some people may say why not use printing to print a few more sets.
In fact, before the founding of Daze Kingdom, printing was relatively complete.
However, due to metal production, printing is basically based on woodblock engraving.
There are more than 8,800 volumes of Yanfu Dadian, each volume has about 60 pages, and the total number is about 530,000 pages.
If such a large number of pages were printed using woodblocks, the cost would be unimaginable.
Moreover, there are so many copies of this blessing-enhancing ceremony that most people simply cannot afford to print them.
Of course, there are some extremely wealthy businessmen in Daze Country, and even those princes can afford to buy books.
But why should they spend a lot of money to buy a set of books that they have little use for?
Therefore, manual copying is much cheaper than woodblock engraving.
After all, there are only three sets of this Yanfu Ceremony in total.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't want to read through the Yanfu Ceremony.
There are so many volumes in this thing that it would take at least several years for him to read them all.
Besides, it was useless for him to read the scriptures, histories, chapters, and collections that made up the majority of the Yanfu Dadian.
What he wants to see is astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, agriculture and other related things.
After all, if he wants to complete branch tasks, he probably has to start from the official side and benefit the people.
Of course, the initial focus is still on the interpretation of the Taoist scriptures!
After all, this world is not an ordinary world without demons, but a world with dragon energy, monsters, and Taoism.
After he read through the catalog, he discovered a problem.
There are very few Buddhist collections in this world. There is only one volume in total, and it is classified into the miscellaneous theory, while the Taoist scriptures have eighty-seven volumes and are classified separately.
The so-called miscellaneous theory is a theory that is not very famous.
Fang Xiaoyue thought about it and realized that she had been here for so long without even seeing a temple.
Logically speaking, in the plane world that I came to, as long as it is not the type of Western fantasy magic, it is basically half Taoist and half Buddhist. If there are temples, there are Taoist temples.
And the situation in the world of Dragon Qi 02 where no temple can be seen is indeed a bit special.
And when he took out the volume of Buddhist books, he found that they were not even Buddhist scriptures, but just descriptions of Buddhist ideas.
Then, he asked the clerk of Dianzang Pavilion if he knew about the Shi family?
The forty-year-old clerk had no idea about this.
However, Fang Xiaoyue thought about it and realized that this was not surprising. After all, the world of dragon energy was very special, so it was not surprising that the Shi family did not develop.
So he immediately put the matter aside and concentrated on reading volumes of Taoist scriptures.
In the next period of time, after he went to work at the Hanlin Academy, the first thing he did was go to the Collection Pavilion to read.
I read Taoist scriptures in the morning, and in the afternoon I read astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, agriculture, etc.
Of course, working in the Hanlin Academy does not mean that there is really no work to do.
To put it simply, the Hanlin Academy is a place where talents are nurtured and hoped for. The main tasks of the Hanlin Academy are to compile books and write histories, draft edicts, serve as readers for members of the royal family, serve as imperial examination examiners, etc.
However, such things as compiling books and writing history were usually carried out only under the orders of the emperor.
The Yanfu Ceremony is one of them.
But things like this consume a lot of financial resources, so not every emperor is willing to do it.
Throughout the past two hundred years or so of Daze Kingdom, such book revision as Yanfu Dadian has only appeared once.
The history books of the previous dynasties were compiled only once.
As for drafting edicts, generally speaking, it is the exclusive authority of Hanlin bachelors. Unless the Hanlin bachelors are sick or unable to go to work due to other circumstances, then the power and responsibility of drafting edicts will be handed over to their subordinate bachelors and bachelors.
.
As for attending classes for the emperor, it was the job of the bachelor who attended and the bachelor who served as lecturer.
Studying and teaching for the princes is the job of attending reading and attending lectures.
Serving as an imperial examination examiner generally has nothing to do with compilation or editing.
Therefore, unless officials such as Hanlin bachelors are very busy and hand over some work, the two types of Hanlin officials, compilers and editors, are very free.
When Fang Xiaoyue comes to work every day, the editors and editors in the office hall are reading or practicing calligraphy and drinking tea.
And those jobs such as serving as bachelor's degree students, serving as bachelor's degree lecturers, etc. are actually very few.
Fang Xiaoyue even suspected that if the Hanlin Academy did not have lunch every day and provided a free meal, those editors, editors and even the attending lecturers would not appear in the hall.
In fact, even the boss of Hanlin Academy, such as Hanlin Bachelor, does not come to work every day, maybe three days a week, and the rest of the time he goes to no where.
Therefore, things like Fang Xiaoyue's long-term stay in the Collection Pavilion are nothing at all in the eyes of other colleagues.
After all, although they don't spend time in the Collection Pavilion, the books they read at work are basically all taken from the Collection Pavilion.
The reason why Fang Xiaoyue squatted in the collection pavilion and read was simply because he read too fast and it was more convenient.
In just half a month, he not only read all the hundred or so Taoist scriptures, but also astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, etc.
When he finished reading all these books, he felt relieved.
Don't worry about not being able to see it again.
He was really afraid that the emperor would marry a certain princess to him before he finished reading the book.
After all, if he refuses, it's hard to say what kind of angry reaction His Majesty the Emperor will have.
You must know that he is the supreme ruler of Daze Country.
A junior Hanlin official like Fang Xiaoyue is just a little fly in front of him.
Let alone the fact that the emperor was so angry that he was thrown into a prison or something like that, just by demoting him out of the capital, he would no longer be able to continue reading in the Collection Pavilion.
Now I'm fine, I've finished reading the book, and even if there is something wrong, I won't suffer any loss.
In fact, he was very thoughtful.
Because even if you are no longer an official, it will not affect the completion of those three branch tasks. At most, it will delay it for a longer time.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have some kind of spiritual understanding with him.
The day after he finished reading the book, while he was sitting in the hall, having a rare tea and chat with his colleagues, the concierge from outside came in to report that someone from Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion came to find Fang Xiuzhan.
Speaking of Princess Zhaoyang, she still has some understanding of her in the days since she came to the capital.
Princess Zhaoyang is the eldest daughter of the current Holy Emperor. Because she is very favored by His Majesty, she was named Princess Zhaoyang.
Zhaoyang is the ancestral land of the royal family of Daze Kingdom. Before the founding of Daze Kingdom, the ancestors of the royal family had been living and multiplying in Zhaoyang.
This shows the importance of Princess Zhaoyang.
However, Princess Zhaoyang's reputation in the capital is not very good.
When he was sixteen years old, he was granted marriage by the then emperor, now his father, to the second son of General Wei.
Three years later, the prince-in-law died of illness and had no children.
From then on, the eldest princess Zhaoyang always lived in frost, but every time the eldest princess' mansion recruited slaves, she would always choose handsome young men.
His reputation also turned bad, and it is said that even the current emperor couldn't help but call him into the palace to scold him.
But even so, the eldest princess's habit of liking handsome boys has never changed.
Therefore, whenever Princess Zhaoyang's mansion held a literary gathering, the literati who received the invitation were all outstanding figures of the moment.
In fact, after the imperial examination, Fang Xiaoyue also received an invitation from Princess Zhaoyang to have a cultural gathering, but he refused because he was in a hurry to return to his hometown.
Now it seems that this branch of task 1 may have something to do with Princess Zhaoyang.
But the problem is that Princess Zhaoyang is 35 now, right?
I have only turned 15. In my original world, I would still be three years away from adulthood!
What's more, my mother, Fang Zhang, gave birth to me when she was 16, and I am only 31 years old now!
An old princess who is older than his own wife has set his sights on him.
To be honest, Fang Xiaoyue has experienced so many planes and worlds, and now she can be said to be fearless, but when she encounters such a thing, she still feels sick in her heart.
But no matter what, you still have to see the people you should see.
Soon, he met the eunuch from Princess Zhaoyang's mansion.
This eunuch was about thirty years old, wearing a green eunuch costume, with a white face and no beard. He opened his mouth to praise Fang Xiaoyue: "I heard that the number one scholar was very handsome before, but when I saw him today, he is even better than the rumors."
It was probably the first time that Fang Xiaoyue felt uncomfortable with other people's praise of her.
This eunuch's name is Wang Xi'er, and he is the eunuch in charge of the eldest princess's mansion. To put it bluntly, he is the personal eunuch beside the eldest princess.
After some pleasantries, Wang Xi'er revealed the reason for her visit, which was to invite Fang Xiaoyue to attend the flower appreciation party hosted by Her Royal Highness the Princess in person three days later.
In Wang Xi'er's words, this flower appreciation literary gathering invited many cultural and educational celebrities from all over the world. If Fang Xiuzhan could attend, the literary gathering would be even more brilliant.
To be honest, Fang Xiaoyue really didn't want to attend this cultural gathering.
But considering that this would probably offend the eldest princess.
If the eldest princess was shameless and directly asked the emperor to issue a decree for marriage, she would be in some trouble.
Because even if the marriage is granted, if you refuse it, you will be disobeying the order, and disobeying the order can be considered a serious crime.
After all, there is nothing trivial about the emperor. Even if you fart in front of the emperor and make the emperor unhappy, it is disrespectful.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyue could only agree. He thought that if he went to the Wenhui, met the eldest princess and expressed his refusal, then maybe the eldest princess would not think about the marriage.
As soon as the eunuch left, Fang Xiaoyue asked for leave and went home.
After all, at the literary meeting in three days, he still had to think about how to better reject the eldest princess.
After all, she is the eldest princess of the royal family. She has grown up in wealth and wealth since she was a child. Needless to say, she is pampered and has an arrogant personality.
It may be difficult for a woman like this to accept rejection from others.
To be honest, even in Fang Xiaoyue's original world, let alone women with arrogant personalities, even many men find it difficult to accept rejection from others. Otherwise, there would not be those bloody cases of love and hatred.
And this eldest princess is probably even worse in this regard.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue still has some experience in how to reject a woman. After all, he is a god, and the population of his kingdom has reached more than 30 billion.
In a society composed of so many people, it can be said that various love stories are happening all the time.
Although he does not keep an eye on everything in the Kingdom of God all the time, he is more or less aware of some situations.
His first thought was to simply act ugly.
The so-called being ugly doesn't mean dressing yourself up to be ugly, that won't work.
The eldest princess is not a fool. You can find out Fang Xiaoyue's normal appearance. Maybe the eldest princess already has a realistic portrait of Fang Xiaoyue. She may even have secretly seen him with her own eyes. Otherwise,
The eldest princess will not be interested in him either.
Fang Xiaoyue's disguise is to prepare some shortcomings for herself.
For example, body odor, foot odor, bad breath, liking to fart, picking her nose, etc. are all shortcomings that a eldest princess cannot accept.
But then he thought about it, such preparations were possible, but they might not be able to make the eldest princess retreat in spite of difficulties.
After all, in his original world, the four beauties in history had more or less imperfect flaws according to the aesthetics of the times they lived in.
For example, Xi Shi has dark skin and big feet, Wang Zhaojun is pigeon-toed and has flat shoulders, Diao Chan has small earlobes and is considered unlucky by the world, and Yang Yuhuan has body odor.
But these flaws cannot hide their beauty.
Fang Xiaoyue also thought of this, what if the eldest princess ignored the flaws she had created and became too obsessed with her beauty?
After all, he is so handsome.
What's more, it's hard to say that the eldest princess, who has seen countless male lusts like this, doesn't have some quirks. What if she likes him more because of his flaws?
So Fang Xiaoyue thought of another way and made several talismans.
These talismans were researched by himself in a short period of time, and they are considered curse-type talismans.
Its main purpose is to make the wearer disliked or disgusted by others.
But the roots of these talismans came from the planes he came to before, so he also tested whether these talismans were really effective.
The subject of the test is Fang Shangou, who is temporarily responsible for shopping at home.
As a buyer, Fang Shangou is still very popular in vegetable markets and other places during this period.
After all, although there are few people in Fang Mansion now, due to the short time since the opening of the Mansion, there is a shortage of things needed in the Mansion, so Fang Shangou has to go out for shopping every day.
Any merchant would have a favorable impression of this kind of big customer who pays for things readily.
Fang Xiaoyue directly handed the drawn talisman to Fang Shangou.
Fang Shangou foolishly thought that Fang Xiaoyue had given him some protective treasure.
But when he came back from a shopping trip, he had a sad face.
