Xia Xunwu's abilities in both fields were not as good as those of officials with a professional background. He relied on his ability to rise to the top, so information and intelligence were extremely important to his decisions and actions. In view of this, he came up with the idea of establishing
When he established an intelligence organization completely under his control, he consciously separated Feilong and Qianlong, no matter in terms of personnel, establishment, equipment, or salaries.【】
Therefore, it was very easy for him to hand over. There was no need to worry about any entanglements between Feilong and Qianlong that Hu would notice. Therefore, he only cleaned up for one night and handed over the entire Feilong organization to Hu.
On hand.
He didn't take the emperor's summons too seriously. His political achievements in Liaodong were so outstanding that the emperor also publicly praised him in the palace. This was an affirmation of him. As for him breaking the rules of the officialdom, to be honest,
Trapping and killing the minister in this way was a violation of national law. The emperor did not publicly pursue this matter. He only deprived him of the power to take charge of secret spies, which was extremely lenient. When he wanted to come, the emperor summoned him after the court meeting just to appease him and prevent him from thinking
He fell out of favor and became resentful.
But on this point, Xia Xun guessed wrong. Does the emperor need to care whether his ministers are grateful or resentful? Especially for an emperor with an extremely strong personality like Zhu Di, for his ministers, thunder, rain and dew are all the emperor's favor, and
For the emperor, it was a sincere expression of the emperor's joy and anger. Does he need to conceal his joy and anger because he cares about what a minister thinks?
After the court meeting, when Xia Xun rushed to the Jinshen Hall on time to see the emperor, he saw that the cabinet's first assistant bachelors, Xie Jin and Yang Rong, and several other bachelors were there. Even Master Zuo Shanshi Daoyan of the Senglu Division suddenly appeared, and he knew that
It's not as simple as chatting a few words to soothe one's emotions.
Sure enough, when everyone arrived, Zhu Di opened the sect and said: "Dear dear ministers, when the emperor was in the imperial examination, in order to discipline the prince, he ordered the scholars of the dynasty and the great scholars of the time to collect the classics and aphorisms and compile them into a book called "Chu Jun Zhao".
"Jianlu", to give instructions to the crown prince. Now that I have assumed the great position, I cannot but pay attention to the affairs of my descendants and the foundation of the country.
Thinking back to the beginning, Emperor Qin Shihuang taught the prince law, and Emperor Jin Yuan paid great attention to teaching "Han Feizi" to the prince and educating the prince. However, they focused on the law and neglected the way of emperor's rule, which led to chaos. We must learn from the past.
Learn from the lesson. The most important thing about the study of emperors is practical application. I want you to take "Chu Jun Zhao Jian Lu" from Anhuang Kao as the basis, slightly expand it, and add Sheng Mo's great teachings from Anhuang Kao and saints who have not been included in it.
Holy Word.
The book contains great scriptures to teach the descendants of the royal family. It will be of great benefit to their moral character and academic performance. If the descendants can abide by this and do things for the king, they will be able to become a wise king, which will be a great achievement. Therefore, I
Today I am convening all the ministers, and I hope that the three beloved ministers, Yang Xu, Xie Jin, and Dao Yan, can take the lead and all the beloved ministers can help me to compile a "Hua Bao Jian", which will be a method that will never be easy for future generations of emperors!"
Xia Xun is no longer the stupid young man he was when he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, he knows that this religious matter was actually the most valued thing by the court in the feudal era. Compiling books under orders is by no means a boring thing, and its benefits
It is definitely not just a name recorded in the history books, but a real piece of political capital and political power. From the few people summoned by the emperor, you can tell how seriously they attach importance to this matter.
The ministers were overjoyed and immediately bowed to receive the order. Xia Xun followed everyone and bowed politely, thinking only: "Master Daoyan is profound in knowledge. He not only presided over the compilation of "Taizu Shilu", but also wrote his own "Daoyu Lu"
", refuting the absurdities of the Northern Song Dynasty's Er Cheng (Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi) and the Southern Song Dynasty's Zhu Xi's manuscripts, which totaled 49 absurdities. Although he was a monk, he was far more talented and learned than the great Confucians of the time.
Xie Jin, Yang Rong and others were all great scholars at that time, well-read and talented, so it was natural for them to participate in the compilation of the book. Speaking of which, I, the auxiliary Duke, was the only scholar with the status of a scholar, so I still asked them to do so.
If I were to take the exam, I would not be able to pass the exam. Even if I was a true scholar, I would not be worth mentioning in front of talented people like Dao Yan and Xie Jin. Why should I be asked to participate?
Should I take the lead?"
Xia Xun thought about it over and over, and finally realized: "Yes, your Majesty, this is killing two birds with one stone. Asking me to participate is not only a kind of comfort and compensation for taking away the power of my flying dragon, but also a way to borrow the title of the Duke of our country. After all, compared with the chief minister of the cabinet,
With the official position of Senglusi, I am a more honorable duke. The emperor has compiled a book for future generations to read, so he must pay special attention to it. I am ashamed, this book... I am not capable of writing it, so I will just hang it up.
Just to take advantage of the name."
After Zhu Di gave the order, all the ministers had different expressions. Zhu Di glanced at Xia Xun deliberately and saw the thoughtful look on his face. He couldn't help but smile happily and said: "Okay, I've called you here for this matter.
Yang Xu will be in charge of this matter, and we will contact Master Xie Jin, Dao Yan and others later to prepare for compilation. I still have a thick pile of memorials to approve, so you can go about your business!"
After hearing this, everyone quickly bowed to the emperor and bowed out of the palace.
As soon as he left the Jinshen Hall, Xie Jin greeted Xia Xun with joy, held his hands in his arms and said with a smile: "The Duke has been away in Liaodong for more than a year, and Xie Jin misses him very much. Thinking that the Duke has just come back and is intimate with his family.
The reunion is important, so I won’t bother you. In a few days, I will invite some close friends and invite the Duke to have a few glasses of wine and say goodbye! Haha!"
Yang Rong, the cabinet scholar, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "When the government has drafted the charter, all we need to do is inform Yang. In my office, there are still a few matters that need to be dealt with urgently, and there are not many of them now.
Excuse me. Farewell, farewell!"
The others also said goodbye to Xia Xun with a smile. Only Master Daoyan was still standing there. He smiled reservedly at Xia Xun and said, "After all these years, I am glad that the Duke is as heroic as before. I am a poor monk who has been sitting in the meditation room for a long time.
I have studied Buddhist scriptures and principles without paying attention to worldly affairs for a long time, but I never thought that I would have the opportunity to engage in a grand event with the Duke of Guangdong. When the government of the country has an idea, I will send someone to the Senglu Division to inform me, and the old monk will come to the Duke of Guangdong's house for advice."
In the court, the size of the power and the level of the position are consistent in most cases, but there are exceptions in every dynasty and generation. Xia Xun did not dare to be arrogant towards Dao Yan, and quickly returned the courtesy: "Master, you are so polite, Yang will learn from me."
There is a limit to this, so we have to rely more on the master and the great scholars for this matter. In the future, Yang should go to the abbot of the master and ask for his advice!"
Dao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Farewell!"
Xia Xun did not pay attention to people like Dao Yan and Xie Jin who participated in the compilation of "Records of Taizu". They were writing biographies for the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and now they are writing biographies for the descendants of the royal family.
Even happier than last time.
He returned the gift and walked out, thinking only: "Compiling a book? If you ask me to participate in the compilation of the "Yongle Dadian", it will be a grand event worth participating in. It is said that the "Yongle Dadian" has more than 20,000 volumes.
, more than 10,000 volumes, hundreds of millions of words, all transcribed word by word manually. If we want to engrave it, I don’t know that it will take hundreds of years to engrave it. The "Yongle Dadian" will soon start to be compiled.
?This is a treasure ship that is the culmination of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in ancient China. How can I think of a way to make more copies of the "Yongle Dadian" in the world, lest this treasure of civilization be lost for no reason..."
※※※※※※※※
Xia Xun thought all the way back to his mansion, got off his horse, and handed the horse to the guard. As soon as he stepped into the door, an old man with a white beard came angrily, followed by Su Ying, Zi Qi and Xiao Di
, Su Ying blushed and called out repeatedly: "Dr. Su, please stay. They are all naughty girls. I will definitely discipline them well. Doctor, please don't be angry..."
Zi Qi and Xiao Di shouted in support, but one of them couldn't help laughing, while the other covered his mouth and his eyes turned into crescent moons, obviously snickering.
Xia Xunyi, an old master, recognized him as the teacher invited by his family. This gentleman was no ordinary person. His name was Su Hanchen, and he was a doctor of the Imperial Academy. He came to teach at Fu Guogong Mansion, not because of the Yang family, but because
For the sake of his assistant, Xia Xun saw the old gentleman's angry look. Xia Xun knew that it was his precious daughter who had made the husband angry again. He quickly stepped forward to stop her and said with a smile: "Dr. Su, please stay, but my little girl is naughty.
,Did it make sir angry?"
Don't forget that Xia Xun is such a big official outside. If you meet someone like Dr. Su on the road, you have to stand still at a distance and salute him by the roadside. But if you invite someone to be your husband, you have to treat them like a gentleman.
Distinguished guests can't behave properly, even the emperor is like this. What a pity for the parents in the world.
When Dr. Su saw Xia Xun, his face turned red, he blew his beard and stared: "My lord, look, look, I have taught countless disciples in my life, and I have students all over the world, but I have never seen my daughter be so naughty...
, Mr. Guo, please hire someone else, I really can’t teach them!”
Xia Xun looked up and down, left and right, carefully for a long time, and then said in surprise: "Master, isn't this a good thing? What happened?"
Dr. Su slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so angry. Your Majesty, this is all the work of thousands of dollars!"
Su Hanchen turned around and stretched out his arms. Xia Xun couldn't help but laugh a little. Master Su was wearing a moon-white spring shirt. The white shirt looked as elegant as an immortal. Now, on the back of the shirt, there was actually
The paintings were full of patterns, including toads swallowing insects, turtles shrinking their necks, chickens pecking at rice... In a hurry, there were two little girls with braids upturned, standing proudly with swords on their backs, and kneeling in front of them was a man who had been beaten with a black nose and a swollen face.
Old gentleman...
Not to mention, whether they are characters or animals, they are all painted with both form and spirit, and are lifelike. It is no wonder that Xia Xun can recognize everything he painted with just one glance.
Xuexian Su turned around angrily and said, "My lord, are you here? The two girls are so naughty and disrespectful of teachers. How can I teach them?"
As soon as he turned around, Xia Xun quickly put away the smile on his face, coughed, and said seriously to Su Ying, who had just arrived and was standing there in embarrassment: "Your two precious daughters made our husband angry.
How unbecoming you are! Quickly bring me my lake silk moiré robe and put it on sir!"
After Xia Xun finished speaking, he turned to Dr. Su, laughed, and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, don't be upset, my little girls are naughty, and they need the guidance of teachers like you. Don't worry, sir, I will definitely discipline them well, sir."
Please come to the living room for a cup of tea to calm down..." As he said that, he ignored Dr. Su's anger and helped him walk to the living room...
