The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 562 The Grand Ceremony of Yongle
What picture?

Just say what you want!

The good impression failed to impress Zhu Hongyu, and an extra 100 million taels was added!
Is it cheap?
Qian Qianyi said with a half-smile expression on his face.

"Everyone, this old man will tell you another piece of gossip, I hope it will be useful to you!"

Zhao Mengsheng from the Zhao family asked.

"Mr. Muzhai, please tell me, I'll be all ears!"

Qian Qianyi said with a smile.

"Currently there is a lot of vacancies for officials of the Ming Dynasty. With the addition of the Enke opened by His Highness, the number of recruits will be greatly expanded."

"And His Highness has reformed the imperial examination system to a certain extent!"

"But you don't have to worry, it's all a good thing. The number of places for the exam has increased, and the difficulty and threshold of the exam have become lower..."

"The specific content of the exam has also changed to a certain extent!"

"His Royal Highness has reduced the proportion of stereotyped articles, added some related content dealing with practical affairs, and added different subjects such as arithmetic and criminal law."

"It is conservatively estimated that the number of people admitted to Enke this time will be more than [-]!"

As soon as Qian Qianyi said this, everyone fell into shock.

Once Enke enrolls thousands of people!

All I can say is good guy!

Compared with the previous imperial examination, only less than a hundred Jinshi were admitted.

Enke is going to recruit [-] people this time, which is really a bit of a foul.

Looking at the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Qian Qianyi continued to speak.

"Everyone eat first, the old man will leave now!"

After all, Qian Qianyi got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the rest of the people got up one after another and bowed to Qian Qianyi to salute.

"I'll send you off to Lord Mu Zhai!"

Their attitudes are very respectful, which shows that Qian Qianyi's status in the Jiangnan literary world is not low.

Qian Qianyi smiled and nodded, then walked out of the restaurant.

After boarding the sedan chair that had been waiting for him at the entrance of the restaurant, Qian Qianyi closed his eyes and fell asleep after being greeted to get up from the sedan chair.

With the sedan chair shaking up and down and creaking, Qian Qianyi gradually fell asleep.

Just at this moment, a fast horse galloped outside.

The messenger ran all the way to Qian Qianyi's sedan chair and said loudly.

"Lord Qian, Your Highness is summoning you in the palace, please go to the palace quickly!"

Qian Qianyi opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and opened the car curtain and asked.

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

The messenger clasped his fists and said.

"Lord Qian, it seems that a complete set of the Yongle Grand Ceremony was found in the Forbidden City..."

……

Inside the Forbidden City in Nanjing!

Zhu Hongyu stood in front of a house, and inside the house were stacks of almost countless books.

He casually picked up a book and read it, and saw the big characters "Yongle Hall" written on the cover of the book.

Zhu Hongyu asked with a complicated expression.

"How's it going?"

"Is the Yongle Hall here a complete set? Is there something missing, missing?"

Zhu Hongyu's tone was a little excited.

Because, this is the Grand Ceremony of Yongle!
The most complete encyclopedia in Chinese history, including classics, history, sons, and collections, involving astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, Buddhism, Taoism, drama, crafts, and agriculture, covering the knowledge of the Chinese nation for thousands of years wealth.

The whole book has 22877 volumes, 11095 volumes, about 3.7 million words, and brings together seven to eight thousand kinds of ancient and modern books.

It is the largest encyclopedia in the world!

Its historical status is self-evident.

Wang Ruxian held a book in his hand, flipped through it casually, and then spoke.

"Your Highness, according to statistics, about 290 four volumes of the Yongle Canon are missing and abandoned."

Zhu Hongyu frowned subconsciously.

"Is that much missing?"

"What aspects of the content are probably missing?"

Wang Ruxian said.

"Reporting to Your Highness, what is missing is divination, crafts, farming and other aspects."

"As for the rest, it's pretty well preserved!"

As if remembering something, Wang Ruxian said.

"Your Highness, in fact, there is a full set of Yongle Hall in the Dingling Mausoleum."

Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, there is a full set of Yongle Grand Ceremony in Dingling, how could Zhu Hongyu not know about it?

he opened his mouth to speak.

"Don't make up your mind!"

Zhu Hongyu didn't say anything about the subtext, that is, Wang Ruxian, the scapegoat, couldn't bear it.

If you recite it, you will die!
Zhu Hongyu couldn't even keep him.

"Order the people below to sort it out carefully, see what is missing from the Yongle Canon, and then order people to re-edit the missing parts!"

Since Emperor Yongle was able to compose the Yongle Canon back then!
Then it would not be difficult for him, Zhu Hongyu, to find someone to fill in the missing content of the Yongle Canon.

Completion is always much less difficult than re-editing!
It's just such a trivial matter, there's no need to dig Zhu Di's grave!
At this moment, Qian Qianyi trotted all the way to Zhu Hongyu.

"Your Highness, how is the Yongle Grand Ceremony going? Is there anything missing?"

As a literati, Qian Qianyi is still very concerned about the Yongle Grand Ceremony.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Fortunately, although some parts are missing!"

"But fortunately, the missing content is not too much, you can find someone to make it up later!"

When Qian Qianyi heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he spoke.

"Your Highness, the old minister requests to resign from the task of repairing the palace, and please order to take over the task of completing the Yongle Grand Ceremony."

For Qian Qianyi, the temptation to complete the Yongle Grand Ceremony is much greater than the temptation to repair the palace.

The name will go down in history!
He didn't want to go down the road with a reputation for having an itchy scalp.

Besides, there must be a reason why Zhu Hongyu called Qian Qianyi here this time.

Looking at the Yongle Grand Ceremony in the room in front of him, even if Zhu Hongyu didn't say anything, Qian Qianyi still had some guesses in his heart.

Does this need to be said?
Calling him must be to let him come to repair the Yongle Grand Ceremony!
Qian Qianyi knew it well, without Zhu Hongyu saying it, he took the initiative to take over the task of completing the Yongle Grand Ceremony.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"can!"

"The Yongle Encyclopedia is a cultural treasure of our Ming Dynasty, and its importance is self-evident. Qian Qing's family must do a good job in repairing the Yongle Encyclopedia."

"Do a good job of leading the cultural inheritance of my Ming Dynasty!"

"This is a very meaningful thing!"

"It's done. Although it can't compare with the contribution of compiling the Yongle Canon, it can still be famous in history!"

"Qian Qing's family must do well! I have high hopes for Qian Qing's family!"

Zhu Hongyu didn't say a word. Although it is true that you can leave your name in history, there is a high probability that you will not be able to cover up your reputation for itchy scalp...

Qian Qianyi nodded vigorously.

As he said that, Zhu Hongyu strode into the house with Qian Qianyi, picked up a copy of the Yongle Canon and started to read it.

Looking at the densely packed traditional characters with almost no typesetting at all, Zhu Hongyu felt his head hurt.

"These Yongle Grand Ceremonies are so lonely to watch!"

The corner of Qian Qianyi's mouth twitched, this is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese encyclopedias!

As a result, Zhu Hongyu's evaluation of it was a headache!

It can only be said that it is him!
After pondering for a while, Zhu Hongyu spoke again.

"Well... While doing the transcription work for the Yongle Dadian, let's also make a vernacular version for the Yongle Dadian."

"When revising the version, sentence reading and paragraph segmentation must be done well. This frighteningly large piece will come down. Who can read it without a headache?"

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he nodded and agreed, but his mood was a little complicated.

Zhu Hongyu's attitude towards simplified characters made him feel very complicated.

Zhu Hongyu almost required that simplified characters be used on all occasions and in all kinds of official documents.
