Chapter 19 of the first volume of the Sun and Moon of the prosperous Tang Dynasty? The whole text of the People is divided into two volumes, each volume contains more than 7,500 Chinese characters, and a total of 15,632 Chinese characters. This is the first edition proof of the "Primary School Dictionary". As for the size of the dictionary, it is expected that after the book is completed by thread-bound, each volume is one foot long, eight inches wide and five inches thick. It is really scary, but compared to "Shuowen Jiezi", it is much more convenient to use, at least it can be carried on the back in a bookcase.

"Senior, thank you so much!" His eyes raised from the proof of "Primary School Dictionary", and Zhang Qian smiled and bowed to He Zhizhang. Deep in his heart, he was filled with respect and admiration.

As the top scholar in the first year of Zhengsheng, under the leadership of Senior He, Wang Han, Wang Zhihuan, Zhang Xu, Mu Nanfeng, Wei Dao and others only took more than five months to compile the "Primary School Dictionary". Among them, Wang Han was borrowed by Zhang Qian to Sitianjian in the last month and did not participate in the final revision.

Such high work efficiency is probably the first-class scientific research institutions in the 21st century. What's more, He Zhizhang and others rely on their two hands and a pen, and there are no auxiliary tools like computers available!

However, He Zhizhang did not dare to take credit at all. He bowed humbly and responded with a smile, "It is a solution that the young supervisor has come up with, and it guarantees sufficient money. The officials and others are just doing things because of their own. If..."

"Senior, why are you suddenly restrained? Could it be that I have been leaving for a month and something happened to the Secretary-General?" Zhang Qian was so uncomfortable with the sudden respect. He stood up and pressed He Zhizhang back to the embroidery pier opposite him with both hands.

"How can that be done? This place is an official office after all." He Zhizhang was not as strong as his strength, so he could only sit on the embroidery pier and shook his head stubbornly, "When you go out, you and me, you will be called each other. In the secretary's supervisor, the officials must take the lead in abide by the rules, otherwise..."

"Senior, the production of liquor in the farm has been very low recently." Zhang Qian glanced at the other party and interrupted in a low voice.

"Young tutor, this is not a gentleman's action!" He Zhizhang was anxious and widened his eyes to protest. However, thinking about the huge difference between the "three pulp juice" and "Liu Lingzui" on the market and the white chrysanthemums that had been aged for half a year, he suddenly lost his confidence. He shook his head helplessly and admitted defeat: "Well, when there are no outsiders, I will continue to be big. However, when there are outsiders, I can't ask you to use Zhao anymore."

"Why?" Zhang Qian raised his eyebrows and asked instinctively.

"Not comply with the rules! Besides, when the censor sees it, he will definitely pick on the tricks." He Zhizhang refused to speak too clearly and gave a very general reason with a smile. "In addition, when Zhao is now considered Mu Xiuyu, everyone is more cautious in daily life, and it is always no harm."

Zhang Qian seemed to understand, but he knew that He Zhizhang must have been out of kindness. After thinking about it, he nodded slightly, "Well, when there are outsiders, he will do what his predecessors say. Also, when compiling the "Elementary School Dictionary", he has troubled the predecessors to make a merit book and write down what the participants have done. In this way, when I report to the emperor, I can also have a certificate."

"I have already started to do it, and I just wait for Zhao to finish the review of the "Primary School Dictionary" and order it to start the formal printing and it can be taken out." He Zhizhang, as an official, knew that something would be rewarded after doing it well, so he was not polite and responded with a smile.

"Give everyone a sum of money first, and it depends on the two-month salary of the seventh-rank official. If there is no money in the warehouse, I will find a way!" I know that among the dictionary editors, they either have a lifelong alcohol or have a collecting habit. Zhang Qian thought about it and continued to add with a smile.

"Yes, there are many more. Last month, the Ren family's business just settled a model fee and patent for the Works Bureau." He Zhizhang nodded with a smile, and suddenly there was a little more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Qian.

The method of making copper movable type printing machine was taught to the Ren family, and then the "font model" fee and "patent fee" were charged from each sold printing machine. What the works bureau needed was to let himself and Zhang Xu copy all the common words for reference when engraving them!

Only Zhang Qianneng could think of such an easy way to make money. Although the patent fee was still half divided by military equipment supervision, the remaining money was enough to make the Works Bureau take off the hat of "the poorest yamen in the Tang Dynasty" in one fell swoop. Not only did He, the writer, speak more confidently, and the assistants under his command, smiled more and more.

Thinking of the series of miracles that Zhang Qian had created since he became an official, He Zhizhang suddenly made up his mind and said seriously: "Yong Zhao, when I was compiling this "Primary School Dictionary", I suddenly had some insights. I want to talk to you!"

"Senior, please speak, I will listen carefully!" Zhang Qian was slightly stunned and nodded with a decisive smile.

"Although this dictionary is simple and easy to use, its flaw is just too simple. It only contains more than 15,000 words, and each word has only the correct pronunciation and basic meaning. It has not been involved in its origin, evolution, and the changes in meanings in different contexts." He Zhizhang immediately entered the state of a scholar, put away his smile, and added seriously, "For the uncommonly used words, there are also some rare words, which are not included. Afterwards, I thought about it carefully and felt ashamed.

For the sages, I have been wondering, after the "Primary School Dictionary" is completed, can I compile a comprehensive "Da Tang Dictionary" and include all my Chinese characters, and read the pronunciation and explanation of their meanings one by one. Even its origin, evolution, and various usages are included in the dictionary. This will inevitably benefit those who become scholars later. My works will not do nothing all day long as they were before."

"Seniors want to be Kangxi and make a "Divine Tang Dictionary"?" Unexpectedly, He Zhizhang became addicted to editing the dictionary, and Zhang Qian was stunned again, and almost said the four words "Kangxi Dictionary".

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately changed his mouth halfway through. Then, he nodded hesitantly, "Okay, the secretary will not be short of this fund in the future. However, if you really want to achieve the goal of your senior, it will probably take at least five or six years of hard work!"

As far as he knows, the "Kangxi Dictionary" was compiled by Zhang Yushu, a great minister of Wenhua Palace, and half of the Hanlin Academy participated in the compilation of this. However, He Zhizhang wanted to compile a similar masterpiece without any previous works for reference. How could it be short for the time it took to be short?

"I will be satisfied if I can succeed in ten years!" He Zhizhang was full of passion, stroked his beard and announced loudly. "If I can become this "Da Tang Dictionary", I can live with my head and chest up to retire and return home. And with Zhao, this "Da Tang Dictionary" is enough to surpass others' writings!"

"Uncle Shi wants to pull me up?" After another unexpected surprise, Zhang Qian asked in surprise, "It's not enough to just take Ziyu, Ji Ling and the others?"

"How is it possible for me to lead a team alone in such a huge career? I am here at the age of a crane. Who will leave this matter to?" He Zhizhang shook his head and responded with confidence, as if he was in front of the great cause of compiling the "Tang Dynasty Dictionary". It is not worth mentioning at all.

After finding Zhang Qian's eyes stiff, he paused, and his voice suddenly turned high, "In addition, such a huge undertaking must be supported by money. I don't use Zhao's ability to turn stones into gold, nor am I sure I can always make funds from the court. So, if you lead the team, I will be your deputy. Let's take Ziyu, Ji Ling, Bo Gao, Nan Feng and Gangjing. We don't want to compile it quickly, but only need to be accurate and extensive. If you don't have to achieve fifteen or twenty years in ten years, as long as the "Da Tang Dictionary" can be finally completed, it will be an immortal achievement, enough to make all participants shine for the eternal period!"

Confucianism has three immortals, the Supreme One has established virtue, the second is to make merit, and the second is to make words. If we can really compile a "Dictionary" that includes all Chinese characters and explain its origin, evolution, correct pronunciation, meaning and usage in detail, it can at least reach two of the three immortals, to make merit and make words. Therefore, it is no wonder that when He Zhizhang talks about it, his voice has changed tone.

However, Zhang Qian vaguely read some special smell from He Zhizhang's slightly exaggerated expressions and body movements. Therefore, he did not respond immediately, but chose to hold the table with one hand and ponder quietly.

He is no longer a young man who has just entered the officialdom and doesn't know anything. After experiencing so many storms, no matter what happens, he is already used to thinking more. And this level of thinking more can reveal many hidden facts.

After clearing away the fog, he could clearly see that Senior He Zhizhang did not really want to pull him to do the "Tang Dynasty Dictionary". In fact, in doing academic research, Zhang Xu, Wang Zhihuan, Mu Nanfeng and others, they were more suitable for He Zhizhang to be his deputy than him. Even if they were sewing people all day, they were more suitable for checking for shortcomings and filling in leaks than him.

Senior He Zhizhang's real purpose is probably to use it as the "Tang Dynasty Dictionary" to pull him out of the court, so as not to accidentally get involved in a vortex and be crushed to pieces.

Senior He Zhizhang and Li Longji have almost no difference in their views on the recent trend in the court. The choices of the two are very different on the surface, but in fact they are not much different in their bones.

The former is to avoid disaster by being obsessed with learning. The latter chooses to go to Luzhou as a different coach. The former hopes to bring him to be obsessed with learning. The latter takes the initiative to warn him and suggests that he find opportunities to stay away from Chang'an!

"Uncle He!" A warm current slowly burned in his heart. Zhang Qian lowered his head, looked at He Zhizhang's eyes, and responded with a smile, "I will definitely support the matter of making a full-scale "Da Tang Dictionary". Whether you want money or someone, as long as you ask for it, I will definitely meet your requirements. As for me, I really don't have the courage to put my name before Uncle He. Besides, I am doing something to revise the new calendar, and in a short period of time, it is not advisable to take on new jobs for myself."

"This..." He Zhizhang was not a very strong person at first. Seeing Zhang Qian's serious attitude when he was speaking, he hesitantly pondered.

"If you revise a new calendar, you need to measure a meridian. It is estimated that the time will not be too short, so it is impossible to stay in Chang'an City forever!" Knowing that He Zhizhang was worried about him, Zhang Qian thought about it and blinked his eyes to replenish it.

"Measure the meridian?" He Zhizhang understood it in an instant, and his whole body began to relax, and his whole body looked radiant.

"Since I still have to compile the "Dictionary", Uncle He recommends Ziyu and Ji Ling and others to become officials." Knowing that He Zhizhang was relieved, Zhang Qian thought about it and added with a smile. "In this way, it will be more convenient for Uncle He to use them."

"Since Yongzhao thinks they are available, I will do a favor!" He Zhizhang wanted to pull Wang Zhihuan and others to take care of him, so as not to accidentally get involved in the vortex, and immediately nodded with a smile.

The old and the young smiled at each other, and they felt that working with each other was really relaxed and comfortable. Just as they were about to talk about it in detail, the door of the secretary's prison was gently pushed open. Immediately, the voice of the general Gao Yanfu, the gatekeeper, came in outside the door. "Secretary Young Supervisor Zhang Qian, is here. The emperor told you to go to the imperial study room to meet immediately!"

"The emperor obeys the order and congratulates the saints!" Zhang Qian was startled and hurriedly bowed to the direction of Zichen Palace.

"Sage, Gong An!" Gao Yanfu responded with a smile, then nodded slightly at He Zhizhang, "He Zhuxue is here too? Is the matter urgent? If it is not urgent, let Young Master Zhang go to meet our family first."

"No, no, even if the senior sect takes the young supervisor away, the subordinate will come to Zhang Shaozheng for advice another day!" Even if there is any urgent matter, He Zhizhang did not dare to let the emperor wait. Therefore, he smiled and took a few steps back and bowed.

"Then let's go, Young Master Zhang!" Gao Yanfu quickly turned his gaze to Zhang Qian again, and smiled and scolded, "We have been walking in the palace for so many years, but we haven't seen you like this. If we don't come back to pay homage to the emperor, we still need to send someone to summon him!"

"No, no, I didn't mean to neglect. I really thought that I should go to court again tomorrow, so I only handed a memorial to the emperor yesterday!" Zhang Qian was scolded and blushed, and he hurriedly bowed to Zichen Palace again.

"Let's go, I'm joking with you!" Gao Yanfu rolled his eyelids and smiled proudly. "Even if you ask for a meeting, you have to be at this time today. After coming back, I know that I have handed over the letter to greet the emperor, which is enough!"

After saying that, he led the way and walked slowly. Zhang Qian raised his hand and wiped his forehead without sweat beads, and followed him step by step. The officials from the Five Temples and Six Divisions of the Nine Supervision Bureau and the Five Temples along the way looked out and watched. The old or young faces were mixed.

In addition to attending court, other officials need to go through four or five procedures to meet the emperor. Whether they can be approved by the emperor is still between the two. Zhang Qian, who had just returned to Chang'an from Hedong the day before yesterday, was summoned to the imperial study room this afternoon! If this guy really works and works, or is well-educated, everyone can't compare to him, and they can only be convinced. But this guy can't even write a quatrain well, and the reason why he can get the appreciation of the emperor is entirely due to some strange tricks and tricks!

At this time, Zhang Qian didn't care whether others were envious or jealous of him. He walked past the side door of Xuanzheng Hall and was sure that no one was eavesdropping around him. He immediately lowered his voice and inquired carefully, "Senior, do you know what the emperor is looking for me? I just came back from another place and didn't know anything. If you deal with the wrong rules in front of you, it would disappoint the emperor!"

"How can I know why the Lord summoned you!" Gao Yanfu turned his head and looked at him, slowing down his pace. "I just want to convey the oral order for the Lord, but I don't have the courage to inquire about the news for you."

After saying that, he secretly squeezed his eyes at Zhang Qian and added in a lower voice, "It shouldn't be a big deal. Just deal with it calmly. The Master of the Lord knows what happened in Hedong. If you kill well, the Master of the Lord will not blame you!"

"Thank you, senior!" Zhang Qian heard this and immediately bowed to Gao Yanfu with a smile. However, he didn't feel relaxed at all.

If Li Xian did not deal with the White Horse Sect and those who joined forces with the White Horse Sect to intercept the imperial officials, he would definitely not deal with the victim Zhang Qian. This was clearly speculated before Zhang Qian left Chang'an at the end of April.

However, he could not guess at all what Li Xian would do next and where the Tang Dynasty was going?

The only fragment of historical knowledge left in his mind was increasingly incompatible with the people and things in front of him. He even went in the opposite direction. However, Zhang Qian was unable to determine whether it was because of the history was written incorrectly or because of his own arrival, which triggered the butterfly effect.

Among the fragments of historical knowledge in his mind, Li Xian was a very mediocre monarch, and could even be considered incompetent. In the last few years of Li Xian's rule, the government completely controlled the two of Empress Wei and Princess Anle. However, Empress Wei still despised Li Xian for being in trouble and simply poisoned him to be the second Wu Zhao himself!

However, the fact that Zhang Qian saw with his own eyes was that Li Xian was not only not mediocre and incompetent, but could even be called a scheming and ingenious plan. He was even more perfect in the field of "taking advantage of the situation".

This man first used the help of Zhang Jianzhi and five others to force Wu Zetian to abdicate. Then he used the Wu family's hatred for Zhang Jianzhi and other "Five Kings" to successfully get rid of the control of Zhang Jianzhi and five others and demoted them from the capital one by one. Then, this man used the crown prince to kill the powerful minister Wu Sansi, and successfully took back the power among the court officials one by one. Then, this man used the crown prince's rebellion to successfully force the left servant Wei Yuanzhong, who was highly prestigious and close to Prime Minister Li Dan...

Even Zhang Qian himself was unknowingly used by Li Xian. Last year, when he and the monks of the White Horse Sect, Li Xian first chose not to worry about it. After he used the "fire meteor" to bombard the monks' altar, he immediately took advantage of the opportunity of the Buddhist prestige and drove the power of the White Horse Sect out of the court in one fell swoop.

If such a great Onmyoji is still said to be stupid, Zhang Qian believes that according to the same standards, most of the civil and military officials in the hall can be regarded as an idiot. And this great Onmyoji has recently begun to make arrangements with him, trying to bring Queen Wei out to take charge of government affairs for him. How could Zhang Qian still believe that the historical fragments in his memory are all accurate?!

Since Li Xian personally picked up Empress Wei, the description of Empress Wei undermining Li Xian and controlling the government in the fragments of historical knowledge in Zhang Qian's memory is not valid. Since Li Xian personally picked up the throne, Empress Wei's husband to poison him to death will become unnecessary, and even stupid!

What's going on?

Zhang's butterfly wings were really so fast that they scattered history off the original track?

Li Xian was obviously suppressing Empress Wei’s minions some time ago, and was preventing the Wei clan from taking the opportunity to grow bigger. Why did he change his course in a blink of an eye?!

What exactly did Li Xian want to do? Since Wu Sansi died, he was finally no longer controlled by powerful ministers. Why did he become a real emperor for less than a year and suddenly prepare to retreat behind the scenes?

...

Countless questions lingered in Zhang Qian's mind, which made him exhausted and looked wilted, like eggplant hit by frost.

However, the moment he walked into the imperial study, most of the problems that circulated in his mind were solved.

Li Xian was sitting behind the imperial case waiting for him, still as white and fat as he had a few months ago, with a blissful face. However, Li Xian's lips and around her lips showed a distinct black blue color, which could not be blocked even if she applied rouge.
