There are quite a few people presenting books. Bible collectors from all over the north and south provinces took their books to the Hanlin Academy and found at least a thousand orphans at one time.

Including Lead Hill Fischer.

Fei Yinghuan and Lou couple took advantage of the opportunity of offering books to visit relatives in Nanjing. They had not seen their daughter for several years.

Walking in the alley of the Forbidden City, Lou looked at the towering palace walls and couldn't help but sigh, "I have retreated for more than ten years, but I never thought it would be like this. I heard that He'er rebelled in Luling, and I almost fainted at that time, for fear of causing a catastrophe."

"It's still the wife who has the courage. If she is at home, she will definitely break off contact with He'er." Fei Yinghuan smiled and said with a smile...

Fei Yinghuan has been so carefree in recent years. He doesn't care about anything. He lives in Hangzhou with his wife, concubine and young son to enjoy a peaceful life. He has long been visited by the famous scenic spots in Hangzhou. He occasionally goes to Suzhou and even goes to southern Zhejiang to hike mountains everywhere.

Literature has not fallen behind, and dozens of poems are published every year. Regardless of whether the father-in-law writes it well, Hangzhou literati will circulate it.

The couple were taken to a courtyard southeast of the Forbidden City, where they stayed tonight. The bedding was replaced with new ones, and some palace maids were sent to temporarily serve them, and they would attack to visit the Saints and visit their relatives tomorrow.

There is an area in the Forbidden City, and foreign ministers can live in it. There are mainly the following situations

First, if the cabinet ministers and central hall members need to work overtime in an emergency, it is not convenient to leave the palace and go home at night, so they stay in a specific room.

Second, the minister was summoned temporarily and discussed with the emperor until night, and could also stay in the Forbidden City.

The palace maid responsible for serving the couple is not the palace maid in the harem, but is more like the servants in the Forbidden City. The leading female official took out a waist card and said, "Your Majesty has an order. If the father-in-law wants to read books, he can go to Wenyuan Pavilion to borrow books. This is a book borrowing card."

Fei Yinghuan got the book borrower and couldn't sit still.

Lou smiled and said, "Go, I'll take a walk here."

Fei Yinghuan went out with the female official. The female official seemed to have received an order and was working as a tour guide for the father-in-law all the way. "Inside the palace wall to the north here is Chunhe Palace. It is still empty. Your Majesty has an order to move in after the prince is ten years old."

Chunhe Palace is the Prince's East Palace, not far from the Wenhua Palace where the cabinet is working.

Fei Yinghuan smiled and nodded, "As the prince, his good grandson."

After walking for a while, the female official pointed to the front and said, "This is Wenhua Palace, where the cabinet ministers and the Secretariat are working here on weekdays."

cabinet?

Fei Yinghuan, who had never been a court official in his life, was a little jealous when he heard the name of the cabinet and asked, "Can I go and have a walk?"

"Yes." The female official smiled and led the way.

In some details, the Nanjing Forbidden City is different from the constantly modified Forbidden City in Beijing, and is also very different from the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty.

The Wenhua Hall in the Ming Dynasty was originally the office of the prince and the place where the prince studied and studied, so it was closer to the Eastern Palace. If any cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty was suddenly named the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Hall and the emperor was in poor health, it can generally be understood as a minister who was entrusted with orphans.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the prince was often young, and even the emperor deliberately did not establish a prince. For example, Jiajing did not establish a prince in his early years, and the territory of Wenhua Palace was abandoned and became the place where the emperor held a ceremony. Jiajing also built a side hall here, which specially stored medicines for alchemy.

The change in the function of Wenhua Palace marked the complete collapse of the training mechanism of the prince in the Ming Dynasty, and the prince was unable to become familiar with the affairs of the court before ascending the throne.

Now, Zhao Han directly identified Wenhua Palace as a cabinet office.

The Lord’s Hall, the East-West Side Hall, and the Heart-Shunting Hall that worships Confucius before the Sutra were all transformed into cabinet offices. Although it is still much empty now, as state affairs become increasingly complicated, those vacant offices will definitely come in handy. It will not have been built up like the Ming Dynasty, and some cabinet offices have even moved outside the Forbidden City.

Fei Yinghuan suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Wenhua Palace has become a cabinet, will the prince's place of care be gone?"

The female official introduced that "a new Yuanliang Hall was built on the west side of Chunhe Hall (East Palace), which was the place where the prince took charge of the affairs."

Fei Yinghuan stepped into the side door of Wenhua Hall and saw a Zhongshu Shepherd in the courtyard.

The Secretariat was holding a pile of documents, but he didn't take Fei Yinghuan seriously. He thought he was a foreign minister who was recruited to discuss politics in the cabinet. He nodded to Fei Yinghuan and ran up again, as if he was busy sending documents to which department.

There are many people in the various offices here, and the secretaries in the Forbidden City are called Zhongshu Sheren. Not only are there in the cabinet, but also in the imperial office and other departments.

Fei Yinghuan walked around and was full of all kinds of Zhongshuzi, and they all looked like he was busy with affairs. He was not easy to disturb him, and he was even more inconvenient to contact the cabinet ministers. After opening his eyes, he left Wenhua Palace.

Wenyuan Pavilion is further south, just like Wenhua Palace, and is also a complex of buildings, with many books and national archives hidden.

Fei Yinghuan showed his waist sign in. Given the large amount of destruction and loss of Wenyuan Pavilion's collection in the Ming Dynasty, the management of Wenyuan Pavilion is now more strict and standardized. Generally, books are not allowed to be borrowed, and only if they can be borrowed here, they must register in detail.

I read the book until the evening before Fei Yinghuan returned to his residence.

Lou said curiously, "How is it in the Forbidden City?"

Fei Yinghuan said, "I only went to Wenhua Palace and Wenyuan Pavilion, which is worthy of being a royal atmosphere. Wenyuan Pavilion has a lot of books, as vast as a sea of ​​smoke. I don't know which one to read first, and many books have never heard of the names."

Lou asked with a smile, "Do you want to stay?"

Fei Yinghuan was said to act in a hurry and laughed and said, "Your Majesty wants to compile the "Ministry of the First Book", not only revise and enter the "Yongle Encyclopedia", but also add books from the 300th year of the Ming Dynasty. This will definitely be an unprecedented great work. As a husband, he is a Confucian scholar, so why don't you want to participate?"

Lou reminded, "Don't let your daughter help you speak, just ask the emperor for permission. The emperor is what we grew up watching. With his temper, it is better to go straight. Letting your daughter pass the call is a bad idea."

Fei Yinghuan thought about it himself and nodded, "That's the reason."

The next day, the couple was invited to the Imperial Garden and finally met their son-in-law and two daughters.

"Dad, mom!"

Fei Rumei rushed forward, not as reserved as a concubine.

Lou was very happy. The way her daughter looked like this means she was doing well in the palace and her personality was still as lively as before.

Fei Rulan had to be much more calm. She followed Zhao Han, accepted her parents' greetings, and then smiled and talked to her parents about family matters. She was the queen and had to hold on, otherwise she would be a misconduct.

"Brother-in-law and mother-in-law, please sit down." Zhao Han said with a smile.

"Don't dare."

The couple responded quickly, but they did not dare to agree to such a kind name.

Seeing that they were a little restrained, Zhao Han asked, "How are the father-in-law doing lately?"

Fei Yinghuan said, "I built a house by the West Lake and read and traveled to the lake. I also met many literary friends and founded a Xizi literary club, aiming to revitalize the literature of Yue Chinese."

"It's great, I'm afraid that the two elders will not be accustomed to living there." Zhao Han said.

Zhao Han asked again, “Can Hangzhou still flourish?”

Fei Yinghuan replied, "Commerce is becoming more and more prosperous. The Qiantang River estuary is too silted, and large sea boats cannot come in. The goods along the Qiantang River are transported to the eastern suburbs of Hangzhou for storage, and then transported by offshore merchant ships to Ningbo, so that the goods can be carried out to sea. Not only is there a port in Ningbo, but Zhoushan on the other side has also built a sub-port. Zhoushan also has a pagoda, which is more than 20 meters high, and can be seen at night by passing sea boats."

This kind of pagoda actually functions as a lighthouse, and there are quite a few areas along the coast and rivers.

After chatting in Hangzhou, Zhao Han asked, "Have the two elders ever returned to Qianshan?"

Fei Yinghuan said, "I have to go back every year for the Chinese New Year."

Zhao Han asked, "Are the ancients in the past still safe?"

Lou replied, "Sen Fei of Hanzhu Academy, has been bedridden recently and has been inconvenient to move. I heard that I was aging and haggard, and I was afraid that I would not have much time left, so Fei Ruyi has already rushed back to Qianshan to take care of her."

"Oh, it's a pity." Zhao Han was indeed a little sad. Principal Fei treated him well before.

There is also the former Jiangxi supervisor Cai Maode, who is also a good person and once planned to accept Zhao Han as his disciple.

Mr. Cai has been dead for several years.

The defending army surrendered, and Li Zicheng broke through the city and rushed in. Cai Maode led the officials to fight with his personal soldiers. After breaking through, he was unwilling to escape and chose to commit suicide to serve Chongzhen. There were sixteen officials who committed suicide with him, including dozens of family members. At that time, Zhao Han had already captured Nanjing, and he could go south to join Zhao Han.

Chongzhen did a little too much, and only gave Cai Maode the posthumous title of "Zhongxiang", but he was unwilling to give him another posthumous gift.

It means that the emperor admits your loyalty, but blames you for losing the city and losing land, and you don’t think of any reward after death.

At that time, very few people could commit suicide for the emperor. Even if they did not give actual rewards, they could just give them a title, which would at least make the loyal ministers even more glorious after their death. As a result, when everyone saw that Cai Maode and the sixteen officials died in great depths, they were hated by the emperor. The city that followed was simply surrendered.

The father-in-law and son-in-law talked about their past friends, and the more they talked about it, the more they sighed and moved.

It was almost noon, and Fei Yinghuan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to do my best to edit the "Ministry and Shi Quanshu"!"

Zhao Han thought for a while and nodded, "It's OK. However, the compilation of the "Ministry and History of Ming Dynasty" will be done before talking about it. The father-in-law can go back and make some preparations. He will compile some equity capital first, and then enter it directly in the future. Well... the father-in-law is responsible for the collection department, so he can start from this aspect."

Fei Yinghuan was overjoyed and asked him to be in charge of the collection department, which was equivalent to being one of the major deputy editors of the book.

Fei Yinghuan was about to get up to thank him, but several female officials and palace maids ran over in a panic, "Your Majesty, the prince fights with others, and... is also injured."

Zhao Han laughed instead of anger, "This is very strange. Someone dares to beat the prince. In my opinion, I'm afraid the prince will do it first. Ask the reason and don't punish those children randomly. It's normal for children to fight. If the injury is not serious, it's okay to urinate."
