Chapter 663 The Imperial Concubine Enters the Library
On the second day, after the morning court ended, Zhou Jun, accompanied by Fan Jinian, went to the new courtyard of the Xuanwen Hall in the imperial city.
The original old residence of the Xuanwen Hall in Liyuan has been abolished, and a new building has been built in the imperial city near Yingtiankuo. The area is three times the original size, and there are hundreds more people working in it.
more than.
The royal chariot arrived at the gate of the Xuanwen Hall. All the servants, maids, scribes, etc. in the hall came to the door and knelt on the ground.
Zhou Jun got off the carriage, glanced around, and asked Fan Jinian beside him: "Where are the Queen and the others?"
Fan Jinian bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the queen is already waiting in the inner garden."
Zhou Jun nodded and walked through the corridor towards the inner garden of the Xuanwen Hall.
The inner garden of the Xuanwen Pavilion was different from that of other provinces and departments of the imperial court.
All the people who can enter are women, such as musicians, maids, female officials, etc.
This is a rule that Jie Qin set when he was the deputy supervisor, and it has not changed to this day.
All the way to the library in the inner garden, a female official opened the door. Zhou Jun saw Yin Yu and Yang Yuhuan standing in the hall at a glance.
The Neiyuan library is a place where books are stored, many of which are unique and unique. Each bookcase is specially customized and contains mechanisms inside.
If you want to pick up or put a book, there is a device like a piano keyboard under the bookshelf, with categories and lists of books marked on it.
As long as you press the mechanism and turn the crank, the slide will roll, like a bamboo basket crossing a river, hoisting the designated booklet from above and sending it into the hands of the visitor.
It was the first time that Yin Yu and Yang Yuhuan saw the ingenuity of the Xuanwen Museum, and they sighed.
Zhou Jun came behind the two of them and coughed lightly.
Yin Yu and Yang Yuhuan turned their heads when they heard the sound, saw Zhou Jun, and hurriedly said Blessings.
Zhou Jun waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to follow him, and said: "Follow me to the Wenyin Academy, and we will talk while watching."
He took the two girls to the other courtyard where brochures and newspapers were printed. First there was a movable type room. Zhou Jun pointed to the two huge movable type wheels in the room that were like millstones and said: "These are the movable type discs used for printing."
, before printing the brochure, first select the movable type to be used."
After changing to another room, Zhou Jun pointed to the stamping desk in the room and said: "The selected movable type will be arranged and printed here, and the preliminary proofreading of the printed matter will also be completed here."
When they came to the third room, a huge machine carried a movable type printing plate and was printing sheets of white paper into newspapers. This scene left Yin Yu and Yang Yuhuan stunned.
Zhou Jun: "This is the Printing and Printing Hall. The finished products of books, books and newspapers are produced here."
Yang Yuhuan was watching with high interest. Regardless of the fact that the ink was still dry, he picked up a newly printed "Datang Wenbao" and read it once. Then he asked Zhou Jun: "The library just now and the current movable type printing, I heard
Are they all His Majesty’s invention?”
Zhou Jun: "I just gave a design, the perfection of the drawings and the ingenuity of the manufacturing, and there was someone else."
Yang Yuhuan sighed: "Your Majesty is not only talented in literature and martial arts, but he is also proficient in miscellaneous studies."
Zhou Jun: "There are mountains beyond the mountains. This is an overestimation."
After visiting the Wenyin Courtyard, Zhou Jun took his two daughters to the Back Prison Courtyard.
Fan Jinian knew that His Majesty had important matters to discuss, so he prepared paper, ink and other items on the desk early.
Zhou Jun entered the main seat, and Yin Yu and Yang Yuhuan accompanied him at the side seats.
Zhou Jun asked Yang Yuhuan: "I just saw the library and the printing room. These two places are the key points in the Xuanwen Museum. Most of the affairs in the museum are carried out around these two places."
Yang Yuhuan: "I heard from His Majesty before that the Xuanwen Hall will be overhauled today. I wonder what the so-called overhaul means?"
Zhou Jun clapped his hands, Fan Jinian responded, and then directed a group of palace maids to bring a pile of books and manuscripts as big as a hill.
Seeing the pile of papers placed on the desk in the room, both Yin Yu and Yang Yuhuan looked surprised.
Zhou Jun: "Literature scholars wrote books and wanted to be included in the Tang Dynasty library; Taoist monks wrote scriptures and wanted to spread the magic; hydrology and geography and other ministries and departments submitted reports every six months; in addition, Datang literary journals
We will begin to collect manuscripts, and then screen and revise them in order to finalize them. These four things will be gathered together every six months and processed at the same time. This day is also called the Xuanwen Hall Overhaul."
Yang Yuhuan looked at the pile of papers on the desk that was taller than a person. He was in a daze for a while and asked unconsciously: "Are these subject to trial?"
Zhou Jun: "Books and manuscripts are reviewed by scribes and female officials. There are only two things that the library supervisor and deputy supervisor have to do. One is to determine the selection of manuscripts for the Tang Dynasty newspapers and magazines, and revise them to form a final version for printing;
Second, the final check is to review the books included in the library to ensure that there will be no remarks or opinions that are detrimental to the Tang Dynasty."
Yang Yuhuan: "I can understand the finalization of the Tang Dynasty newspaper. But how should we review the library books?"
Zhou Jun: "Did the Imperial Concubine ever remember that there was a book in the Southern Tang Dynasty called "Kung Yu Hate", which slandered the Northern Tang court and even slandered the Supreme Emperor and the Empress?"
Yang Yuhuan couldn't help but get angry and itched his teeth when he mentioned the book "Kang Yu Ren".
This book said that Li Longji was mediocre, all because his beauty was a disaster, and that Yang Yuhuan was a disaster for the court, which ultimately made the Tang Dynasty weak.
Seeing this, Zhou Jun said to Yang Yuhuan: "Such a book is full of nonsense. It should be banned during the review and then confiscated and sealed."
Yang Yuhuan nodded, deeply convinced.
Zhou Jun: "If your Majesty wants to be the deputy supervisor, these are the tasks you should do. If you find it complicated, you can quit now."
Yang Yuhuan thought for a moment and said, "I still hope to stay."
Zhou Jun: "Although the position of deputy supervisor of the Xuanwen Pavilion has great responsibilities, it is boring and boring. Do you really plan to stay?"
Yang Yuhuan nodded first, and then said hesitantly: "It's just that I have never done any of this work before. I'm afraid I will make mistakes when I first take office, and I need someone to help me."
Zhou Jun heard this and looked at Fan Jinian who was standing aside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Fan Jinian's forehead, and he whispered: "This old slave has little knowledge. He just took a job and really can't do it."
Zhou Jun turned his attention to Yin Yu next to him.
Yin Yu stared at the hill-like manuscript on the desk, and suddenly retreated in her heart, saying, "Xiao'er has no one to take care of me. I will go back to the palace later."
Zhou Jun took a long breath and said to Yang Yuhuan: "Well, today is a major repair, so I will stay here and lead the queen through the ministry first."
When Yang Yuhuan heard this, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
In the back prison, Zhou Jun and Yang Yuhuan, together with a group of female officials, first sorted out the review books and determined the final list of the library, and then began to finalize the "Datang Wenbao".
This busyness lasted from day to night.
In the side hall, after finishing his dinner in a hurry, Zhou Jun looked at the sample manuscript full of text and said to Yang Yuhuan: "The layout should be settled like this first. There should be no problem."
Yang Yuhuan, who was exhausted, rubbed his wrists and stretched again.
She is nearly forty years old, and her perfect female body curves, every move, every gesture, reveals her fatal charm.
Zhou Jun was a little stunned when he saw it.
Only then did he discover that as one of the four beauties of classical China, Yang Yuhuan's appearance and temperament not only did not weaken in the slightest as she grew older, but her beauty and charm, unique to mature women, were increasing day by day.
.
In terms of beauty, among the women Zhou Jun had seen, no one else was as good as Yang Yuhuan. Only Song Ruo'e, who wore make-up on stage, could barely compare with her.
Perhaps sensing Zhou Jun's gaze, Yang Yuhuan's face turned red, she quickly stopped her movements and sat upright again.
There was no sound for a moment in the huge room.
After a while, Yang Yuhuan looked at Zhou Jun and suddenly said: "Back then, Maweipo..."
Zhou Jun was a little surprised when he heard the word Maweipo. He didn't know why Yang Yuhuan mentioned this matter.
Yang Yuhuan: "Back then in Maweipo, the Supreme Emperor issued an order, ordering Gao Lishi to strangle Yuhuan with white silk. When I was dying, my soul seemed to have left the body and drifted to the gate of the underworld. There was a judge in red holding the hand of a judge in red clothes.
The book of life and death stopped me..."
Zhou Jun listened carefully and when Yang Yuhuan stopped talking, he couldn't help but asked: "What happened next?"
Yang Yuhuan: "The judge looked at the book of life and death and said something strange several times, and then he said, Yuhuan was supposed to die, but his fate changed because of another nobleman, and now his fate is not over.
You should return to the world of the sun as soon as possible..."
Zhou Jun fell silent when he heard this.
The older generation often says that people who survive disasters often have memories of leaving their souls afterwards.
However, Yang Yuhuan's narrative overlaps with what happened in history.
Zhou Jun didn't know how to comment for a moment.
Yang Yuhuan lowered his voice and said softly: "Yuhuan didn't understand what the end of the world meant at first. Later, during the arson case in the mourning hall, I almost died in the hands of Gao Lishi. In the dark, there was a voice at that time
He also said to me that all karma in this world is determined by fate, but it cannot be escaped no matter what."
At the end of her words, Yang Yuhuan lowered her head to prevent Zhou Jun from seeing her expression.
Standing up from his seat, Yang Yuhuan gave a hurried salute and then quickly walked out of the room.
