my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 147

Chapter 147

Zhu Di is obviously very interested in this.

A book can solve a pandemic, is that okay?

As for the civil and military officials, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, and they were all curious.

Xie Jin smiled and looked at Li Wensheng expectantly.

Li Wensheng thought for a while and said, "That book explained in detail how to prevent and control epidemics, and also taught a lot about learning..."

"It's just that the title of the book... the student forgot for a while."

"..."

At this moment... many people were a little confused.

I even forgot the title of the book, you are reading a ghost book.

But it's really not Li Wensheng's fault.

Li Wensheng only read it briefly at the time. After all, it was a miscellaneous book. Of course, it was impossible to memorize it all at once. Even after reading it, Li Wensheng felt like a thief.

Zhu Di was speechless for a moment.

Xie Jin shook his head in his heart, this person is really not sophisticated enough, at this time, it is better to brag about yourself quickly than to mention any books.

Zhu Di said, "I forgot the title of the book? It's a pity."

"However..." Li Wensheng said: "The student read that book a few months ago. The student remembers... where is that book."

Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly and said, "Where?"

Li Wensheng immediately said, "Qixia's library."

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately cheered up.

He looked around, wishing that everyone could look up to him at this moment.

This is my library, my library!

At this time, Zhu Di looked very energetic, and said, "Oh? Is that so? Qixia Reading Library? That place...is there such a wonderful book? I have also heard that Qixia seems to have a library dedicated to For readers to study, of course, this may just be a rumor..."

Zhang Anshi stood in the middle of the court, giving a thumbs up in his heart.

Your Majesty's words mean the truth!

Li Wensheng said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the library has a huge collection of books, and there are countless books to read... The students have benefited a lot from being there."

Only then did Zhu Di say: "Really? There is such a place in the world?"

As he said that, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing's house, Qixia's library, do you know?"

Zhang Anshi stepped forward and said: "I have heard of some."

Zhu Di showed a curious look on his face, and said, "Is it really as Li Wensheng said?"

Zhang Anshi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I think...it should be."

Hearing that Zhang Anshi was also in the fog here, Zhu Di wished he could marry his mother directly.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Di smiled and said, "You are in Qixia, don't you pay attention on weekdays?"

Zhang Anshi said in his heart, do I dare to pay attention?I still dare not say that I opened this library, but I said that I borrowed the name of my junior brother Li.

If the scholars know about it, ghosts will be willing to go.Doesn't Your Majesty know my reputation among scholars?

Zhang Anshi complained in his heart, and then said: "Although I like reading, I only like to read at home on weekdays."

Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi, this guy is too outrageous!

Zhu Di then asked other ministers: "Does anyone know this library?"

Everyone was silent and did not respond.

Everyone is a minister. In the Song Dynasty, the ministers still had various rituals, but Emperor Taizu Gao was different. When Emperor Taizu Gao made the rules, he rushed to use the ministers as cattle and horses.

Therefore, this Daming's rest time is extremely short, even... insane to the point of being open all year round.

Everyone has to go to various ministries every day on weekdays, whoever has time to go to which library!

Although this library has heard a little bit, but...after all, they are all hearsay, they dare not talk in front of His Majesty, the surname Zhu, except for Jianwen, are all perverts, who knows what will happen if they say something wrong.

Zhu Di was obviously very dissatisfied.

The essence of Ming scholars are all in this dynasty.

But no one in the court knew about the library.

Then my business is still going on?

He gritted his teeth in his heart, but fortunately he was able to maintain a smile and said: "Then there is such a wonderful book in the library! Xie Qing's family, you are the most knowledgeable and read the most books. I ordered you to compile "Great Documents". After reading so many books, is there any content about the epidemic in this book?"

Xie Jin thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have no impression."

"That's weird." Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, as if he had an idea in his heart, he looked at Li Wensheng and said, "This matter is of great importance, Li Qing's family, is everything you said true?"

Li Wensheng said seriously: "Everything the students said is true."

Zhu Di said: "This book alone will save hundreds of thousands of people's lives. It's so important... I can't just sit idly by, why don't I lead all the ministers to go to the library and read the book... In the end What's it like."

Baiguan, you look at me, I look at you, this is a bit ostentatious.

But Your Majesty... seems to be very interested in books!

It seems that... this is not a bad thing.

They have never seen the library, so they might as well take this opportunity to see it.

Many people murmured in their hearts that Zhu Di couldn't control so much, so he directly ordered someone to drive and prepare to travel.

He was in high spirits, took a chariot, and brought all the officials with him. Because this time it was not a private visit, Habayashi Wei dispatched urgently.

Hundreds of big Han generals rode out ahead of time and began to clear the streets and alleys along the way.

Zhang Anshi mingled in the crowd for fun, this His Majesty has gone crazy to make money.

Well, just keep it like this.

So he followed the flow of people and set off with the large army.

Zhu Di seemed to be sympathetic to all the officials and allowed them to sit in sedan chairs.

Immediately, the mighty people rushed all the way to Qixia.

As for Qixia's place, there have been imperial guards here for a long time, one post at three steps, one sentry at five steps.

The library... had no choice but to suspend operations, and everyone in the library was waiting outside.

Xie Jin was in a very good mood. He had also heard about the name of this library for a long time, and he also copied several copies of the great achievements of the documents he edited, one of which was kept in this library.

For Xie Jin, this is definitely a very decent thing.

His Majesty finally has a sense of reverence for scholars, which is also a blessing for scholars all over the world.

In Qixia, no one is allowed to go near the library, but many scholars are unwilling to leave.

People stood far away, whispering to each other: "I heard that His Majesty came in person, and brought all the officials to come. I didn't expect the library to go to the sky to listen."

"Haha, speaking of which, we are also lucky. I often read books in this library."

In the discussion of countless people.

After Zhu Di entered the library, he immediately said to Li Wensheng, "Li Qing's family, where is that book? Take us there."

Everyone looked forward to each other, and looked at the huge library curiously.

Looking at the small buildings one after another, it seems that the buildings are full of bookshelves.

There are even three special buildings responsible for displaying the books of "The Great Completion of Documents".

And along the way, there are signs one after another.

On the top of the sign, there are engraved bibliographies in each building.

This dense bibliography makes one's scalp numb, there are too many, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as vast as smoke.

Fortunately, this bibliography has been categorized for easy search.

The officials are all from the background of scholars, and they have a lot of interest in this place.

I also saw that the small building was full of teahouses.

Even under the promenade, there are tables, chairs and benches, which are obviously for people to sit and read.

There is a special tea house, responsible for the tea supply here, probably because of the large number of people, so the scale of the tea house is not small, I am afraid that there are at least dozens or hundreds of people in charge of this matter.

Even, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are sold here, obviously for scholars to take notes.

If you see something wonderful, it would be a pity if you don't record it.

Many people nodded secretly, this is a good place, but unfortunately, they are too busy on weekdays.

Not far away, there is a wall, and the next wall seems to be building something, but the building to be built there seems to be similar to the building here, maybe... the library is still expanding.

In front of everyone, Li Wensheng found the small building with the miscellaneous learning signboard according to his own memory.

When Xie Jin saw it... he kindly tugged on Li Wensheng's sleeve, as if to remind Li Wensheng of something.

It's just that the current Li Wensheng didn't realize it. He was excited, so he walked quickly into the small building.

The books here are all new, even... there is a smell of books unique to new books.

Li Wensheng only glanced, and among the dazzling array of books, he quickly found the book he had placed there.

This book... seems like no one has read it since.

He carefully took off the book and looked down..."Prevention and Treatment of Plague".

By the way, that's it.

Li Wensheng became even more excited, and even turned over with trembling hands.

Sure enough, nothing wrong.

Li Wensheng immediately came to Zhu Di with the book, handed the book to Zhu Di, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty... this is the book."

He was very excited.

Zhu Di couldn't help getting excited.

All the officials are behind, like chickens in a chicken coop, looking up one by one.

Xie Jin couldn't help poking his head.

But seeing Zhu Di opened the book, he lowered his head to read it seriously, and found that the book...he could understand it.

This time, Zhu Di became more interested.

You know, Zhu Di is actually well-educated.

But in fact, many books in this world, he also has a half-understood understanding, because most of the contents of those books are jerky and difficult to understand, and all kinds of meanings are also vague.

And this book is concise and to the point, and the most thoughtful thing is that it will actively divide into sections, which saves the trouble of making people understand the characters.

The books of the ancients have no punctuation marks, so...for ordinary people with a little ink, it is actually very laborious to read.

Zhu Di read it carefully, and found that there was indeed something about the prevention and treatment of cowpox in it. In addition, there were some so-called "learning experiences".

This learning experience is very interesting, what is understanding all things, using all things and so on.

Zhu Di was very surprised and said: "It really is this book. I never thought that there would be such a wonderful book in the world."

Xie Jin was on the side, happy, and said appropriately: "Your Majesty, the person who wrote this book must be an expert. Nine times out of ten, this person is probably dead. I read thousands of volumes, and if I get a good book, I can't help but love it , if the author of this book is dead, it would be a pity that envoys and others cannot ask for advice in person."

After a pause, Xie Jin continued: "Such a great achievement, as His Majesty said, it is not an exaggeration to be a Marquis."

Zhu Di nodded thoughtfully, then closed the book curiously, thinking of finding the author's signature first.

But when he looked down, he was suddenly stunned.

All the officials looked at Zhu Di, feeling that His Majesty's behavior was a bit weird.

Xie Jin smiled and said: "Your Majesty... Could it be that this book does not specify who wrote it? If so, it would be a pity, but many ancient books, the author's life is difficult to verify..."

"I know who wrote it." Zhu Di took a deep breath, and then said lightly.

All of a sudden, everyone's interest came.

Xie Jin said eagerly: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di was unambiguous, looked up at Xie Jin and said, "Zhang Anshi..."

Zhang Anshi came out with three words...

It was as if the world suddenly became quiet, and all the officials were silent.

Xie Jin: "..."

Xie Jin was obviously in disbelief.

No, no, no.

Just that?

He couldn't hold back his face, his expression froze.

Zhu Di watched everyone's reaction, but said again: "Zhang Anshi!"

Behind the crowd, Zhang Anshi couldn't squeeze in.

There is no way, he is still young, and these ministers are like mad dogs when they read the book, and no one will be humble to him.

Fortunately, at this time, the ministers separated a path, and Zhang Anshi barely squeezed in.

He panted and said, "Yes, yes."

Zhu Di pointed to the book and said, "You wrote this?"

Zhang Anshi took the book, glanced at it, and saw many people looking at him with complicated eyes.

He didn't like the feeling of being stared at by everyone, so he said bravely: "Yes, I wrote it casually, and it was boring at the time, and I wrote it a little bit... Hey, it's really me who wrote it."

In order to make up for miscellaneous studies, Zhang Anshi did write some things he learned in his previous life. Although it was at a half-baked level, there were indeed too few books on miscellaneous studies in this era, and many of them were of low quality.

The purpose of the library is to promote knowledge. Zhang Anshi does not want the entire library to be full of books about the Four Books and Five Classics.

At that time, he wrote a lot, but he didn't take it to heart.

Now take a closer look, isn't this your own book?

But at this time, he found that many people looked at him with strange eyes.

Zhu Di even wanted to swallow Zhang Anshi in one gulp.

And Xie Jin looked very embarrassed.

Only Prince Zhu Gaochi said happily: "No way, no way, An Shi still understands this, why didn't you say it earlier?"

All the officials have different expressions.

Hu Guang and Yang Rong looked at each other, as if they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

At this time, a voice broke the silence: "The student has met Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang is very talented..."

The person who said this was none other than Li Wensheng.

Li Wensheng's face was full of excitement at this moment, and he wished he could hug Zhang Anshi's thigh immediately.

After all, these days, all he has been thinking about is this book, and the person who wrote it, he never expected to meet him here.

His face was flushed, and he was inexplicably excited.

At this time, Xie Jin's jaw was about to drop, and he looked at Li Wensheng in astonishment.

This guy... isn't he a man of few words and ignorant of human relations?

But look at this picture of licking a dog...disgusting!

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi closely: "Why do you still understand this? Why didn't you say it just now."

Zhang Anshi smiled helplessly and said: "I'm afraid I'll make a mistake. If I make a mistake, wouldn't it become a subject who wants to take credit? Your Majesty knows me. I'm a person... who always puts things first and takes credit later."

Zhu Di pointed to the book and said, "Where did you learn this knowledge?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Anshi became serious.

"Observe, learn."

"Observation, study?"

"Understanding the nature of things, of course, is not what Cheng Zhu said about studying things and extending knowledge, but to really observe things around you, to understand the laws of things, to understand their principles and characteristics, and finally...to find solutions to problems."

Zhu Di couldn't help muttering: "You kid...this Li Wensheng, did you learn it all from you?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I did write this book, but I didn't know Li Wensheng before, and I don't know how much this Li Wensheng learned from this book."

Zhu Di was overjoyed, and suddenly felt his waist straightened, and he said with a smile: "This time, you have saved countless people. Good boy, you really look like me!"

As he spoke, he patted Zhang Anshi's shoulder fiercely.

Zhang Anshi responded immediately: "Where is it? It's because His Majesty has taught you well on weekdays. What do you know..."

Zhu Di said joyfully: "To shake the past and make the present, to shake the past and make the present, this time really opened my eyes. This time, Zhang Anshi has made great contributions, um... and Li Wensheng, you all have contributed. Xie Qing's family..."

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin's face was stiff, a little dazed.

Seeing that Xie Jin didn't respond for a long time, Zhu Di called again impatiently: "Xie Qing's family."

It was only at this time that Xie Jin came to his senses, and hurried forward to agree.

Zhu Di then said: "Let's talk about it, this time... Zhang Anshi taught us to wait for the emperor and ministers to open our eyes?"

Xie Jin only felt his scalp numb at this moment, and he felt a sense of powerlessness.

It is obvious that he is highly talented and full of economics, and there are no books in the world without proficiency.

He edited "The Great Completion of Documents", and he has read all the books in the world, but why... in front of Zhang Anshi, who is ignorant and inexperienced, he is always passive.

He was even a little jealous of Zhang Anshi. He had no talent, and had never studied hard in a cold window. However, such a person could always win by surprise and win the praise of others.

Since Sheng Yu, He Shengliang.

He didn't even know that Zhang Anshi actually didn't care about his so-called knowledge at all. He compared himself to Zhou Yu, but Zhang Anshi didn't care about Zhuge Liang at all.

Seeing Jin and saying nothing, Zhu Di's face darkened.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Hu Guang finally had a bit of kindness, and couldn't bear to see Jin lose his dignity in front of His Majesty, so he said: "Zhang Anshi has made great contributions to the court, and everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion is looking sideways."

Only then did Zhu Di look away from Xie Jin, and said, "Well... In this way, it is indeed necessary to reward well. This matter, Wenyuan Pavilion, will be drafted."

Hu Guang hurriedly said: "The minister waits to obey the order."

Yang Rong stood aside, watching with cold eyes, looking at the kind Hu Guang, but secretly shaking his head in his heart.

Zhu Di immediately said happily: "Let's go and drink tea. I want to taste the tea here. I am also a person who loves to read. Reading here... makes people feel happy physically and mentally. Zhang Anshi, don't you think so?"

Zhang Anshi was very cooperative this time, and said with a cheerful smile: "Your Majesty, yes, as soon as I enter here, I feel an indescribable sense of comfort, and I can be regarded as a writer. I always feel that when I am studying in the study, Almost something, oops, such a good place, really unforgettable."

Zhu Di said happily: "I have the same interest as you. Let's go, everyone is here, go and have a seat."

After speaking, everyone followed Zhu Di's footsteps and came to a hall of the library.

This hall is huge, with hundreds of seats, but the placement of the seats is a bit cramped, and then.

After Zhu Di sat down on a seat, someone began to pour tea and water.

Zhu Di looked at the ministers who were still standing obediently except himself, and said happily to everyone, "Everyone sit down, sit down, I will have fun with you today, you don't have to be restrained. "

Zhu Gaochi was obese, and almost occupied two seats by himself, but he was very excited, and kept looking at Zhang Anshi, full of expectations.

Zhu Di turned around and asked the person who poured the tea, "How much does it cost to come here to read?"

The person pouring tea said: "It's not expensive, five Wen."

"So cheap?" Zhu Di pretended to be surprised: "You can read so many books for five cents?"

Facing Shengyan, the tea waiter said tremblingly: "Yes, and the tea is also cheap, a penny a pair."

Zhu Di clicked his tongue in amazement and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that I have a lot of things to do every day, and I can't come here often. If not... I really don't want to go. Zhang Qing's family, what do you think?"

Zhang Anshi nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, the minister is the same."

The waiter said: "Not only that, behind this library is Qixia Mountain. A plank road has been built. You can go up the mountain directly from here. If you are tired from reading, you can go up the mountain. It is not only quiet, but also has a pleasant scenery. Tea is provided."

Zhu Di and his fellows sang together.

I heard all the officials stunned, but to be honest, aside from the exaggeration of Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi, I can honestly say that this place... is indeed very desirable.

The so-called seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, that's it.

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin again at this time and said, "Xie Qing's family is a great talent, don't you have any opinions?"

Xie Jin is a very smart person. Hearing what Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi said, and the fact that Zhang Anshi's book appeared here, he seemed to have guessed something.

At this time, although he was shocked and unwilling in his heart, he still smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, if you can come here to study, I... will also feel refreshed and happy."

"Really?" Zhu Di said: "Xie Qing's family wants to preside over book revision, so why not stay here for ten days and half a month, you are a great talent, I will allow you to rest for ten days."

Xie Jin: "..."

After a moment of silence, Xie Jin obediently said, "Yes."

…………

Back to the palace.

Zhu Di could be said to be dancing with excitement.

In front of his courtiers, he was quite reserved, but in front of Empress Xu, he said excitedly: "You don't know, this An Shi... how good his books are! This guy... I really want to pry his brains open." Let me take a look...this time...it really saved me."

"What he said is also very reasonable. Observe things, understand the principles of all things, and make everything work for me. Here, there is a lot of fame. This is different from the so-called Gewu of scholars. Gewu just wants to know the so-called great things of scholars. Reasonable. What Zhang Anshi said is that kind of... that kind of... real practical learning!"

"After thinking about it, isn't it similar to that of gunpowder? Understand the principle of gunpowder, and then improve it so that it can kill more people."

Empress Xu smiled and listened, she rarely saw Zhu Di praise someone so excitedly.

It's just...she already knew about Zhu Di's words. Before Zhu Di arrived in Da Nei, King Yi had already inquired about the news and reported it to her.

But now, she had to pretend to be very fresh, listened carefully, and gave admiration from time to time.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said, "The crown prince taught the son... No, the guy raised by the crown prince is really not simple. No wonder Zhang Anshi's sister is always so understanding of righteousness and understanding of the general situation. I am different, and all my children are bastards." , the crown prince is better, and I don’t know how that kid Zhu Gaoxu is doing when he is his mother.”

Empress Xu said: "Your Majesty must reward you for saving so many people. You can't treat them badly, otherwise... others will scold us, saying that we don't know the rewards and punishments."

Zhu Di nodded: "Wenyuan Pavilion will discuss this matter first, and then I will finalize it. Who do you think I am? Is I the kind of person who compares every penny?"

Empress Xu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Zhu Di's excitement has not yet passed: "And that Li Wensheng, you haven't seen what Li Wensheng looked like when he learned that Zhang Anshi was the author of that strange book, so he wished he could call Zhang Anshi his father. That official...is even more ridiculous, Some even look like they ate flies, hahaha..."

Empress Xu said: "The more young people are like this, the more your Majesty has to be careful."

Zhu Di looked at Empress Xu suddenly: "What does this mean?"

"The concubine is not interesting, I just think... this person is too smart, so the child should be calmed down earlier. The concubine also studies history, and if the precocious person does not start a family and start a business early, he will often...cough cough... Your Majesty Do you know Huo Qubing? The champion Hou Huo Qubing said at the time that the Xiongnu were still alive, so why should he call himself home? Look, what happened? Now that my concubine reads it, it’s really a pity for him.”

Zhu Di's expression became solemn: "Could it be that fellow Xu Huizu came to you again to talk about it?"

"Brother didn't talk about it." Empress Xu said with a smile: "It's all about my concubine's thoughts."

Zhu Di paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning and said, "For some reason, I always feel... Zhang Anshi is like my daughter. Letting him marry a wife, no, letting him marry is like losing a piece of my heart." .”

Empress Xu: "..."

"That guy Xu Huizu is always a bit unwilling to take advantage of it." Zhu Di added another sentence.

But at this moment...

Yi Shiha hurried in and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... It's terrible, it's terrible, the alley is empty, this Nanjing city is empty..."

Zhu Di glared at Yi Shiha: "What's the matter?"

"Many people have gone to Qixia, the library...the library..." Yi Shiha was out of breath.

…………

Classmates, ask for a monthly pass, it is not necessary.
