Chapter three hundred and ninety-ninth meeting code preface
"As an official, I will work diligently in the future. Please rest assured!" Gu Chengyu immediately stood up and assured Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai nodded, noncommittal. Of course it was useless just to say it, he had to see Gu Chengyu's talent and hard work.
"As for the Dayan Conference proposed by the emperor, the Hanlin Academy has not yet established a charter. Do you have any good suggestions?" Zhang Hai sat down on the armchair, put the copy in his hand on the table, and looked at Gu Chengyu.
"Back to your lord! I thought about it all night yesterday, and I only came up with a few things temporarily. This is the general content of my plan, please take a look at it!"
Gu Chengyu had already prepared. He knew that this matter was only raised at the court meeting a few days ago, and the Sixth Ministry and the Hanlin Academy must not have drafted the charter yet. Therefore, he wrote a rough layout and prepared to deal with Zhang Hai today.
Of course, thinking about it all night long is sheer nonsense. Is there any need to burn the midnight oil for such a thing?
In fact, he found that the books of the Dayan Dynasty basically did not use catalogs, and at most they only contained one volume or something. If there was no title on the catalog, how could he know what it was about? How could the general content of the book be presented to the emperor for review?
So Gu Chengyu wrote a rough table of contents for the content he came up with, which is the outline and details of a book. This way it looks clear at a glance, and you can search later according to the previous table of contents.
The emperor made the Dayan Huidian not only to leave a basis for future generations, but also for his own convenience.
Zhang Hai was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Gu Chengyu just got an errand yesterday and would come up with a charter today.
In fact, he just wanted to test him just now to see if Gu Chengyu took this matter to heart when he went back yesterday. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to see Gu Chengyu's attitude towards this matter.
Zhang Hai's complexion improved a lot. No matter how Gu Chengyu wrote, at least he was serious about his work, which made him very satisfied.
In fact, he and the six ministers drafted these regulations. Gu Chengyu only compiled them for the Hanlin Academy, and he had just entered the Hanlin Academy. How could he expect Gu Chengyu?
Opening the booklet, Zhang Hai immediately focused his eyes on the font inside. No matter how many times he looked at it, he would always admire that Gu Chengyu's handwriting was indeed good.
Focusing his eyes on the content written by Gu Chengyu, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He had never seen such content in such a format before. It seemed to be a preface, but it was much more detailed than the preface.
There is also a summary at the top of the preface. This preface is divided into 228 volumes. The content of each volume is written next to the preface, and the preface is also listed below for each government office, making it clear at a glance.
He couldn't help but nodded. Such a preface was indeed clear and could be used as a reference when the Hanlin Academy compiled history books in the future. He glanced at Gu Chengyu and saw that he was drinking tea with a tea bowl, without any sense of nervousness.
Then I read the content carefully and found that the history of the establishment of each place and the duties of the government offices were clearly listed.
It is prefaced by the six departments of official, household, ritual, military, criminal, and industrial work and the governor's office. The six departments are prefaced by temples, government offices, prisons, departments, etc., and there are twelve volumes of the official department, twenty-nine volumes of the household department, etc. .
These cannot be written overnight. It requires a detailed understanding of Dayan's official system, which involves many books such as Dayan Law.
Zhang Hai put down the booklet in his hand. He was still a little unbelievable. This was really written by Gu Chengyu alone? Even he couldn't have thought of such details. Although it was just a preface and no detailed content, it was not easy. .
Did Gu Chengyu solve the charter that required six departments and a bachelor like him to draft it alone?
"Gu Xiuzhan, you said you wrote this?"
Gu Chengyu put down the tea bowl, stood up and replied to Zhang Hai: "Yes! It may not be detailed enough and there are some omissions in the middle, but this is just the humble opinion of the lower official."
Gu Chengyu thought in his heart that there should be nothing missing. If there were, it would be normal. After all, there was a lot of content to compile. Anyway, not all, maybe 10% of it.
The booklet he wrote is only a rough outline, and the detailed content will of course require many officials to compile it based on Dayan records, hadiths, etc.
Anyway, this is a huge project, and it won't be completed in three to five years. In this process, you have to read a lot of books, and you have to add your own understanding to condense what you see in the books into the essence and turn it into a book.
Write down the text.
"Are you saying that you wrote this alone? Did you read through the books? There is a lot of content involved, and you read it all in one night and cited these examples one by one?"
Zhang Hai's expression became excited, and his voice suddenly rose to the point where he even spit out his saliva while speaking without even realizing it.
Zhang Hai really couldn't believe the fact that this was written by Gu Chengyu alone, and it was written in one night, which surprised him so much.
"Back to your lord! Before Xianguan, he had already read the Dayan Laws, Records of Compassion and Filial Piety, Records of Ancestors, etc. Later, when he entered the Hanlin Academy, he had also read the books on various officials. These are all in Xiaguan's mind.
Need to read."
Gu Chengyu has a good memory. It is a bit exaggerated to say that he never forgets anything, but it is still close. Therefore, he has read many books. Of course, he has read all of these essential books for officials.
So it only took him two hours to write this, not one night as he said. It was just to keep a low profile!
Zhang Hai was simply shocked beyond measure. Scholars studied the Four Books and Five Classics in order to take the imperial examinations. How could they have the time to read these books?
Gu Chengyu was so young and still wanted to dabble in other books. He finally believed the rumors that Gu Chengyu was extremely talented and worked very hard.
No wonder the emperor valued him so much. How could he be the number one scholar without being outstanding? Looking at the book in his hand again, he couldn't help but sigh. Not only was he talented in reading, he was also hard-working and enterprising, and he also had no shortage of abilities.
.At this point, Zhang Hai has completely changed his view of Gu Chengyu.
"You did a good job with this preface. I plan to take it to the six ministers for review, and then the chief minister will make a decision before submitting it to the emperor. However, don't worry, you have put in all the effort to do it. I will
I will not pretend to take credit for your achievements. I see that you have done a very comprehensive job. If there are no accidents, I will start compiling the meeting in accordance with the regulations you drafted."
Zhang Hai completely put aside his previous prejudices, and he still appreciated the hard-working and diligent subordinates.
"Why can I not trust you, sir? This is just a rough charter! It will need to be supplemented and revised by your adults later. I don't dare to take credit! If nothing happens, sir, I will resign first!"
Gu Chengyu knew that there was no need to say more at this point. He was a sensible person, and Zhang Hai had already given his guarantee, so what else could he be worried about? Zhang Hai would not take credit for his achievements. If the emperor was satisfied, not only could he
If you get any benefits, Zhang Hai will also benefit a lot.
