Chapter 686 Mongolian history of complete annihilation
After seeing off Luo Guanzhong, Yunxi went to the front hall to comment on the memorials. Over the past hour or so, he had accumulated a lot of drafted memorials. It was not easy for Yunxi to finish them before eating, and he needed to do it as soon as possible. He sat down
After sitting in the seat where I usually handle memorials, I picked up my pen and started writing on the memorials I had drafted.
At this time, Jie Jin suddenly walked up to Yunxi, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Yunxi asked without raising his head.
"Your Majesty, I have compiled the "Da Ming Dadian" and have collected most of the books in the world to the capital. Even some orphan and rare books have been obtained, but there is still a lack of books stored in the palace. Your Majesty, please temporarily send the books stored in the palace
The book is placed in the history museum, and I ask the copyist to copy it once and then send it back to the palace." Xie Jin said.
"That's easy to say." Yunxi picked up a piece of paper, wrote down the imperial edict, handed it to Wang Xi and said: "Take someone to the inner study to take out all my books, make statistics and send them to the history museum."
Then he said to Xie Jin: "These are all books that I like very much. I read them on weekdays. You can't lose one."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't lose even a page." Xie Jin said.
There were not many books inside the palace and not outside the palace. An hour later, Yunxi had finished answering all the memorials in front of him and was about to have a meal when Wang Xi and Xie Jin came to him again.
Xie Jin saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has sent all the books in your study to the history museum. But there is a book that I have read before during the Hongwu period but I have not seen it. I..."
"What book is it called?" Yunxi interrupted.
"The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty." Xie Jindao.
""Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty"? What kind of book is this?" Yunxi asked curiously. He had never heard of this book. And the title of the book immediately reminded him of some braid plays he had seen in his previous life.
‘It can’t be as disgusting as those plays, telling the emotional entanglements of the great Khans of Mongolia. Probably not. Grandpa Huang is not that boring and collects such disgusting books.’ Yunxi thought.
"Your Majesty, the "Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty" is a book that describes the founding of Mongolia and some things before it. After Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, he created the Uighur Mongolian script after imitating the Uighur characters; Ogodei, Guyu or Mengge
When he was the Great Khan of Mongolia, he ordered historians to compile the history of Mongolia and named it "Secret History". Only the royal family was allowed to read it, and even Mongolian officials were not allowed to watch it."
"In the first year of Hongwu, King Zhongshan and King Kaiping led troops to capture Beiping and copied the "Secret History" from the palace of the Yuan Dynasty. The late emperor ordered the "Secret History" to be translated into Chinese and named it "The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty". A total of twelve volumes were obtained
Chapter 282, hidden in the palace." Xie Jin said.
"Historical books of Mongolia?" Yunxi suddenly became interested and asked, "Do you still remember what was written?"
"Your Majesty, I probably still remember some of it."
"The book is roughly divided into three parts. The first part records the ancestors of Genghis Khan, which is mixed with many legends, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity; the second part records the life of Genghis Khan, and the third part records the life of Ogedai. This writing is recorded in the book
It was written in the Year of the Rat, and most people guess it was written in the Year of Gengzi (1240 AD)." Xie Jin said.
Yunxi ordered: "Wang Xi, go to the place where the late emperor often read books and look for them to see if they were placed there."
Wang Xi accepted the order and retreated. Xie Jin added: "Your Majesty, this book is very important. It is the only book in the world that records the history of Mongolia. And because it records some secret things of the Mongolian royal family, even the palace of the Yuan Dynasty
There is only one copy in Ouchi, and even the descendants of the Yuan Dynasty who have now fled to the grasslands probably don’t have it. If the book hidden in the palace disappears, there will be no way to study the history of the Mongols."
"Oh, really?" Yunxi said with an unknown light flashing in his eyes.
Xie Jin was guessing what Yunxi's look meant, and Yunxi stood up and said, "Xie Aiqing, it's already noon. Xie Qing should go have a meal first, and I should go have a meal too. If I find this book
, I will definitely let Wang Xi tell Xie Qing."
Xie Jin also knew that there was no point in waiting here, so he bowed to Yunxi and left, and went to eat with Bao Zhao.
Yunxi then came to the dining hall and started eating, but even the dullest person could see that he was very absent-minded. He picked up the dishes several times, as if he wanted to put them to his mouth, but in the end he poked his face.
As soon as he finished eating, Wang Xi came in with a book in his hand and said to him: "Your Majesty, I found "The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty"."
"This book was placed in the cabinet that the late Emperor used frequently during his lifetime. After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, because he was afraid of seeing things and missing others, he put all the things that the late Emperor often used in the cabinet and never looked at them again. I can't find them anywhere else.
No matter where you look, you will find it in no time.”
Yunxi took the book from Wang Xi, opened it, and spent half an hour reading the entire book.
Yunxi, who had finished reading the entire book, closed it, murmured a few words to himself, and asked Wang Xi: "Are there any other manuscripts in the palace?"
"Your Majesty, I have not found any other manuscripts in the palace." Wang Xi said.
Yunxi seemed to have made great determination and said to Wang Xi: "Bring the brazier over here."
When Wang Xi placed the brazier in front of Yunxi, Yunxi did something that surprised Wang Xi: he tore the book into pages and put them into the brazier.
'If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history. The Mongols only have one book that records history. After burning it, the Mongols will become a nation without history. The earliest can only be traced back to the Temujin era. As long as it is
If the pride of the so-called golden family can be slowly annihilated, the Mongolian nation will completely lose its backbone and there will be no possibility of revival.'
Yunxi thought with malice in his heart: 'Temujin, or Ogedei, if there really is an underworld, you will see under the Nine Springs that the books describing your life will be completely annihilated in history, even if the Mongols still pass it on orally.
The deeds are just a drop in the bucket. What are you thinking about? Do you want to come back from the dead and kill the Ming Dynasty? It's a pity that you don't have this possibility.'
"The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty" has three to four hundred thousand words. It is a thick stack of books written with a brush. The brazier in front of Yunxi was not big. Even if Yunxi later brought several more braziers to burn together, it was still too big.
It took four people an hour to burn all the pages.
Yunxi picked again with a wooden stick to make sure that all the pages were burned to ashes. He asked Huang Fu to take out the brazier and said to Wang Xi, "Tell Xie Jin this afternoon that you couldn't find this book."
