Yunxi sent them to draft the edict. As he went to the side hall, he was still thinking about the word Jianye. Then he remembered that the reign name of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was "Daye", which was very similar to this title.
After further reflection, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is very similar to himself! Zhu Yuanzhang accumulated a large amount of family property, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty also accumulated a large amount of family property; he was the second generation monarch, and Emperor Sui Yang was also the second generation monarch; most importantly
What's more, he wanted to make great achievements, and Emperor Yang of Sui also had great ambitions.
I won’t be reduced to the second place of Emperor Sui Yang, right?
Yunxi immediately warned himself in his heart: to carry out reforms and expand territory, he must do it according to his ability and must not be impatient.
Yunxi, who had returned from resting in the side hall, did not wait for his ministers to speak, and ordered: "Xu Xiaohui, post this on the wall beside my table."
Several auxiliary officers looked at the rice paper that was to be pasted on the wall. After it was pasted, they saw the words on it: "Don't forget the death of Sui II."
Bao Zhao praised: "Your Majesty is wise." It turned out that after they learned that Yunxi's reign was designated as Jianye, they immediately realized that it was similar to the reign name of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, "Daye".
Although the similarity of the reign names does not mean that the emperor's actions were the same, they still planned to admonish Yunxi. Now that Yunxi himself wrote such a couplet to remind himself, they no longer need to admonish.
Yunxi said: "My beloved ministers, if there is anything inappropriate in my decree, you must advise me and don't have to worry about it. After your beloved ministers go back, they should inform the other ministers as well. As long as the advice is not selfish.
, Even if what I said is wrong, I will not offend anyone because of my words!" Although Yunxi accepted the remonstrance humbly, he still left a back door.
However, even if several ministers present were aware of Yunxi's backdoor, they did not feel there was anything inappropriate. Confucianism originally emphasized selflessness.
Jianyang, Fujian Province, is located in the northern part of Fujian Province and at the southern foot of Wuyi Mountain. It is also known as Tancheng. It has been the place with the largest number of books published and printed in the southeast since Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty went south. It is still the most important book publishing place in the Ming Dynasty.
However, the popular storytelling among storytellers in the city was not published here. In a city in the city, hundreds of people gathered to listen to the same storyteller talking about storytelling. From time to time, there were cheers and copper coins dropped.
There was a "thumping" sound on the ground.
I only heard the storyteller say: "But it is said that Yuan Shao was defeated and fled. Jushu was imprisoned and could not escape in a hurry. He was captured by Cao's army and captured Cao Cao... Cao Cao ordered to attack Jizhou. It is precisely because he was weak because of the large number of people.
It is calculated that the victory will be won, but the strength of the troops will lead to death due to the few plots. We don’t know the outcome. Let’s see the breakdown below.”
Then the storyteller said: "It's getting late today, so I'll stop here. I will continue my story to all the officials at noon tomorrow." Then he bowed to each other. After that, he squatted on the ground and picked up all the money given by the guest officials.
Then exit from the background.
It was already mid-morning, and everyone had to get up early to go to work tomorrow, so they all left. There were two people wearing long gowns who looked like they were not working people, but they did not rush back, but walked slowly.
, chatting while walking.
One of them said: "I had seen this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when Robben brought it over. It is indeed a good book, but if it is engraved and reprinted, there are not many idle people in the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid it cannot be taken back.
It comes from the capital. The storyteller said that no matter how much Benzi earns, that is, if the first few storytellers give him some money, who of the subsequent storytellers will give him money?"
"Unexpectedly, Luo Ben was able to find a human seal, and many storytellers spread their stories to Jianyang. Chen Jiulin, who came from the capital a few days ago, took over the book of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The printed handwriting was clear and distinct.
It was printed with copper movable type, and I don’t know who was willing to make so many copper movable types to print the book. Could it be the copper movable type borrowed from the imperial palace?"
He was a well-known bookseller in Jianyang City, so he could figure out what to use for printing at once.
Another person laughed and said: "Brother Wang Fu, you really dare to think about who would dare to use Ouchi's copper movable type to print this book."
Wang Fu said with a smile: "I think it's whimsical too. But Brother Wu, tell me, where did these many copper movable types come from?"
"If you make your own copper movable type, you may not be able to recoup your capital even if you sell tens of thousands of copies. But now I heard from Chen Jiulin that only a few hundred copies have been sold across the country, and many people go to book rental shops to read them. This sale is
The amount is such that even if you carve the engravings, you won’t be able to get your money back. It’s really strange.”
The two of them walked all the way and spent a lot of time before returning to their residence.
As soon as they arrived at their residence, a servant came over and said to the two of them: "Master, Mr. Wu, someone is looking for Mr. Wu!"
Mr. Wu's name was Wu Yuchao, and he asked: "Who is looking for me? Is it Li Yun?" Li Yun is another big bookseller in Jianyang County, and Wu Yuchao is a well-known storyteller and script writer in the southeast.
home, so he asked this question.
The servant said: "Mr. Wu, he is not from Mr. Li, but he speaks with a Beijing accent and looks like a soldier."
"A person with a capital accent, a soldier?" Wu Yuchao said thoughtfully, "I don't recognize such a person?"
Wang Fu said: "It is a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided. Once you go in and see it, you will know what it means." Then the two of them walked into the residence.
In the residence, Yunxi's personal bodyguard Zhao Min was sitting. He was originally sent out to find Luo Guanzhong's friends. A total of eight people were sent out, six of them were in Hangzhou and one in Jiujiang. Only he ran the fastest.
Far.
When he arrived at the place, because he had a foreign accent, no one was willing to let him tell the truth. He finally had to show the proof of residence at the inn and asked the local police to find out where Wu Yuchao lived, and then he came over.
He sat on a chair and closed his eyes for a while, then heard the footsteps of three people. He quickly opened his eyes and saw two other people walking in besides the previous servants.
The first person looks to be in his thirties, with a broad face and a bit fat, which is rare; the person behind him is about fifty years old, with an old complexion and is quite thin.
Zhao Min remembered what Luo Guanzhong said before leaving: "These friends of mine are all in their fifties and sixties and are not doing well." He immediately guessed that the person behind him was Luo Guanzhong's friend Wu Yuchao.
Zhao Min immediately said to the latter person: "This old gentleman behind is Wu Yuchao? Mr. Wu."
Wu Yuchao said: "It's just a grassroots man. I wonder why you are looking for me?" He saw that this man looked like an official, so he called himself a grassroots man.
Zhao Min said: "To be honest, I am a hereditary officer of the Imperial Guard in the capital. There are noble people who like to watch operas and read scripts, so they not only gave Mr. Luo Guanzhong preferential treatment, but also asked Mr. Luo Guanzhong to write letters to his friends."
, he took out Luo Guanzhong’s autograph letter and said: “This is the autograph letter from Mr. Luo Guanzhong to Mr. Luo Guanzhong.”
Wu Yuchao tremblingly took the letter handed over by Zhao Min, opened it, read it, and then said in a trembling voice: "It is indeed Luo Guanzhong's personal letter."
Zhao Min said: "Your Highness, oh no, Your Excellency also wants to take you gentlemen who are good at writing scripts and plays to the capital. It was also written in the letter."
Zhao Min secretly sighed at his luck. He was used to calling His Highness, so he accidentally called His Highness just now. If it was His Majesty, it would be bad. Fortunately, fortunately.
Wang Fu and Wu Yuchao looked at each other: Your Highness! The person who likes to watch plays, tell stories, and treat Luo Guanzhong preferentially is your Highness! This is something they never thought of again.
Wu Yuchao once again trembled with excitement, and Wang Fu looked at Wu Yuchao with complicated eyes, like a top student who discovered that a student was far inferior to him in study, but he got full marks in the exam and did not cheat.
It took Wu Yuchao a long time to regain his composure, and then he said: "This person,"
Zhao Min immediately said: "Zhao Baihu."
"Zhao Baihu, it's getting late today. Let's set off again tomorrow." Wu Yuchao said.
Zhao Min agreed: "Okay, I'll have one night's rest today and leave tomorrow for the capital."
The next day, the 29th, was another ordinary day with no unexpected events. However, it was a happy day for Yunxi, because all the troubles accumulated some time ago were finally solved.
After Yunxi finished answering the last piece of paper, he stretched. Then he looked at the four auxiliary officers who were sitting in their seats and said: "My dear friends, I have some things to deal with today. My dear friends, I have some things to deal with today.
Just go back."
At this time, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not the civil servants who would have to take care of everything later. After hearing what Yunxi said, Zhang Wen was the first to bow and leave.
Bao Zhao originally wanted to ask, but Zhang Wen, who was ranked before him, bowed and left. He didn't feel like asking anymore, so he left.
Guo Zhen and Zhuo Jing didn't know what Yunxi wanted to do, because Yunxi had no intention of staying with them, so he also withdrew.
Yunxi waited for them all to retreat, and went to the bedroom to change into the clothes for going out, and asked Wang Xi to send someone to call the guards to gather at Qianqing Gate before he wanted to leave the palace.
Yang Feng was very surprised when he received the order to leave the palace. Since returning from the ancestral mausoleum, Yunxi has not left the palace yet.
However, he was only surprised for a short time, and then immediately called the guards to Qianqing Gate.
When he arrived, Yunxi was already sitting in the shade near Qianqing Gate, drinking tea and waiting.
Yang Feng immediately saluted and said: "I have met your Majesty. I am late, please forgive me."
Yunxi said: "You are not late, I came quickly." Then Yunxi looked at Yang Feng and the others and said: "You didn't prepare a guard of honor?"
Yang Feng said: "Your Majesty, isn't he traveling incognito?"
Yunhe laughed and said: "I am going out in honor today, not incognito."
Yang Feng felt that he had made a joke, because Yunxi had always traveled incognito in the past and had never used a guard of honor, so Yang Feng subconsciously did not ask him to prepare a guard of honor. This time, Yang Feng was deeply aware of Yunxi's work style and style after becoming the emperor.
It was very different before.
Then he looked for the guard of honor. When everything was ready, it was almost midnight. Yunxi looked at the sky, because it gets dark late in the summer, so it was still very bright.
After Yunxi got into the car, Yang Feng asked: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Where are the monks and Taoist priests who I ordered to come to the capital placed?"
"Seng, the Daolu Department does not have that much space, so it was placed in the Fan Hall of the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites."
