Chapter 57
Luo Yan came over and comforted quietly: "It's like this when Hanyuan is looking for books. Sometimes I can't find one in half a month. It doesn't matter. I'll look for it slowly. I can't find my official to help you find it. Who told Uncle Shi and your father to be the same year?"
Yan Chengjin had a bitter face and wanted to say, "Sir, look at your appearance, your daughter and I are really not suitable."
But considering that he would have to work in Hanyuan in the future, he didn't know how long it would be, so he endured humiliation and burdened him.
He came to the cabinet again. Among the many bookcases in the cabinet, the bookcases he flipped through yesterday had been marked by him.
Huh...
What a big scene today.
Li Dongyang and the other two were waiting by the bookcase. Yan Chengjin saw Emperor Hongzhi, who was searching for some books on the bookcase.
No wonder I passed by the duty room just now and didn’t see anyone. It turned out that they were all serving the imperial guards here.
Yan Chengjin quickly knelt down: "My minister Yan Chengjin, I have seen Your Majesty!"
Li Dongyang frowned slightly, and his eyes signaled to him, "Boy, he put his hand in the wrong way, and quietly made a gesture to Yan Chengjin.
The postures of bowing and bowing are slightly different.
Yan Chengjin took a look and his posture became more standard.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him: "I have been reading here for a long time, but I have never found it. I only remember the book and don't remember the title. Is it a problem? Yan Qing's family is also here to find the book?"
Yan Chengjin carefully speculated on the holy intention and thought for a while: "I have also come to find books, but I haven't found them. Like His Majesty, there are too many books here, and there are not many collections in the market. Each category is diverse, so it is normal to take some time."
Emperor Hongzhi turned around and smiled like a big bad guy on TV: "I seem to smell the smell of flattery. Does Yan Qing's family know where this horse comes from?"
Yan Chengjin's heart trembled violently, almost losing his mind and becoming confused.
The concentration of this flattery is only one percent, but His Majesty actually smells it?
Emperor Hongzhi was indeed very clear-headed. I heard that Liu Jian often recommended some fellow townsmen to Beijing. Although he did not check it carefully, he knew whether these people could be used.
However, Yan Chengjin dared to slap the dragon's fart, and he also foresaw the situation of slapping on the dragon's claws.
Yan Chengjin was wise in a hurry: "I didn't say nonsense. I said so, because I had something to say for advice."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled, but there was a reminder: "Tell me, I don't like to flatter others the most."
"Your Majesty cannot find books, it is nothing more than a mess of books collections. This is not only not conducive to searching, but also causes other risks.
Since ancient times, there have been more than one collection of books in various dynasties. In the Han Dynasty, there were Dongguan, Lantai, Hongdu, the Secretary-General, Jixian Academy, and the Song Dynasty. However, in the Ming Dynasty, our ancestors and important collections of books were included in the inner palace, most of which were isolated books. If they were lost, they would not be able to obtain them again."
Emperor Hongzhi was fascinated by his words, but he had no idea what he wanted to say, "So keep talking."
Yan Chengjin looked up slightly: "I think that whether it is an isolated version or other important classics, you should copy more points, one copy of the Wenyuan Pavilion in Nanjing, one copy of the Wenyuan Pavilion in the capital, one copy of the Imperial College, and one copy of the cabinet in this way, so that it is more stable.
Some of the books piled up in the cabinet nowadays, even without bookcases, are piled up very high and are easily lost.
I believe that the regular books are divided into four categories: classics, history, science, and collections, while the miscellaneous books are placed according to astronomy, geography, and art, and then divided by age. The same is true for the various books.
The clerks will record the book and distinguish the book by time and years.
If you come to find a book again in the future, you will not be in a mess again."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Every time I come to find a book, I always feel that I can't make sense. You say this, it seems that it makes sense."
Li Dongyang and the other two knelt on the ground: "I am guilty of dereliction of duty!"
In my previous life, I went to the library to pick up books and had already used a computer. I couldn't find a book for a day, so the computer would be so funny.
Li Dongyang sighed: "Since Emperor Yongle moved the capital to the capital, many books have indeed become isolated books from south to north, and have not been investigated on a large scale so far, and what Yan Chengjin said is unreasonable."
Emperor Hongzhi was happy and said to Yan Chengjin: "I didn't expect that you only came to find a book once and had such a deep understanding. I will not pursue the charge of flattery. In the future, you must act openly and be an upright person. Don't learn the matter of slapping beards and running around. Do you know?"
I said I had dried up, but you didn’t give me any reward?
Is this a waste of time?
Yan Chengjin responded: "I follow Your Majesty's teachings and be an upright and trustworthy person in the future."
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: "You have taken the word "credit so seriously. Are you reminding me to remember you for me?"
Yan Chengjin said bluntly: "I want it, but Your Majesty will not give it to you."
Emperor Hongzhi sneered and dared to admit it: "If you give me another opinion on this collection of books that satisfy me, so what if I give you a merit?"
Do you think I am exhausted by all my talents?
No, no, the old driver just got on the bus.
Yan Cheng sneered: "I know, Your Majesty said Chengxian, you have no joke! You will definitely keep your word. In fact, I just thought of one thing. The Wenyuan Pavilion and the cabinet that now houses the books are all made of wood, and there are so many books gathered. If you accidentally catch a fire, all the books will be burned. It is better to rebuild the first floor and use only earth and stone as materials. The valuable collection of books is hidden in the copper tank. In this way, even if it catches a fire, you will not be afraid."
Emperor Hongzhi's face was solemn. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace was burned.
Li Dongyang and the other two had a cold expression on their faces, and they also remembered the burning of the Queen Mother's bedroom.
There are so many books, many of which are lonely books. If they are really burned, the unique skills of the past saints will be cut off.
They never thought that the study would catch a fire. Now that Yan Chengjin mentioned it, they noticed the importance of this matter.
Emperor Hongzhi became serious: "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Yan Chengjin buried his head and thought about it carefully: "I want a gold medal to avoid death."
"……………” Emperor Hongzhi.
Li Dongyang rolled his eyes.
Do you dare to ask for money, even gold is OK!
Emperor Hongzhi coughed and said seriously: "I will keep my word naturally, and I will send it to your house in a while."
Yan Chengjin was overjoyed and kowtowed to thank him. Now my father has a piece on his head.
In the evening, the sunset in the sky rendered the entire Forbidden City, with golden light shining. Yan Chengjin found "Record of Intentions" and returned to the Hanlin Academy.
Wang Shouren and others copied it for a day, and when they saw that he found the book, they finally felt a little balanced.
Yan Chengjin found a place to copy it slowly.
Yang Jingxin looked at Yan Chengjin and was a little restrained: "The new style is prevalent. Among the three masters, Qingshan Jun and Mr. Chuanshi are not known. Only Mr. Yingke Song is the father of Brother Gao. He is so kind. When Mr. Ying returns to Beijing, he wants to visit Mr. Ying. I wonder if Brother Gao can recommend him?"
Li Kang also read it over and bowed politely: "I respect Mr. Yingke Song, but unfortunately I have finished writing the Dream Tower. When I was writing the Dream Tower, Brother Yan often read the first manuscript? Can you... I also recommend it for me?"
Wang Shouren was like an old monk entering into meditation, silently copying his own book.
The two of them were considered non-toxic and pollution-free, Yan Chengjin nodded.
Speaking of Dream Tower, my father is also a talented person. He has not been on the empty city for so long, but he can still write such a passionate book.
Is it because the more you lack, the more you want to get?
It's worth it,
Yan Chengjin deliberately delayed in the Hanlin Academy for a while before leaving.
Wang Shouren and the others didn’t have sedan chairs. They walked out with them. Should they sit in sedan chairs or not?
Yang Jingxin and Yang Kang shared a small courtyard in Dongcheng District.
Wang Shouren rented a small courtyard in Xicheng District, and Wang Hua had a Kuan Mansion in Beijing, which was very rich.
As for why he moved out.
Yan Chengjin asked him, and Wang Shouren's answer was incredible.
"I want to be alone."
Perhaps the saints always have to be different from others. If other children were used to living a comfortable life in a wealthy mansion, even if they were a little uncomfortable, they would suffer.
Yan Chengjin was about to leave, but found that Zhu Houzhao was coming, so he quickly retreated and ran to the west gate for a hundred meters.
Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Old Gao, I knew you were going to run away, Liu Jin, catch him for me!"
