The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 638 Hongwu Grand Ceremony
"Hongwu Grand Ceremony?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.

After talking about the compilation of the mythology system just now, he suddenly heard that Dasun wanted to compile a book of classics, history, sons, collections, and hundreds of schools in the name of his own year. As for astronomy, topography, yin and yang The words of Chinese medicine, medicine, divination, monks, Taoism, and skills are all prepared in one bundle, and there is no need to tire of being numerous.

The compiled classics are called Hongwu Dadian.

Zhu Ying nodded and said, "Grandson wants to spend ten million guan banknotes on this matter."

"Not only the academic knowledge of Ming Dynasty, but also overseas countries are also included. Sun'er will send orders to the officials who are going to the West this time, let them also collect and debate."

This was the inspiration from Yongle Dadian, but Zhu Ying didn't want to just follow the way of Yongle Dadian.

The Hongwu Grand Ceremony to be built this time will not have a day of completion, but will be continuously compiled and updated, and the accumulated knowledge of the world will be incorporated into it to create an encyclopedia of world concepts.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Dasun on the shoulder, sighing in his heart.

Because he knew that these were all things Dasun did for himself, and the name Hongwu Grand Ceremony was for his reputation.

"This is a good thing, and it doesn't have to be arranged on our heads. We know what our reputation is, and it doesn't matter."

"Sometimes I'm too scruples about these things, but I let myself be restrained, not if I put it on you, grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well how much manpower and material resources were needed to compile the canon, and all overseas knowledge had to be included.

In the Ming Dynasty alone, the knowledge is already vast, let alone overseas.

Among them, translation is a very cumbersome problem.

Just listening to Da Sun's thoughts, one knows how much impact this great book will have after it is compiled.

If there is an analogy, it is already equivalent to Taishan Fengchan.

Of course, the Taishan Fengchan is compared with Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, etc., not after Song Zhenzong lowered Taishan Fengchan.

And in its own sense, the Grand Ceremony has more practical effects.

In the inheritance of culture, because of the underdeveloped information, there are not many classics after publication, and some even have only hand-copied shares. Not all books are rubbed in large quantities.

Including Daming and now, due to the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of books were damaged and lost, and many precious knowledge inheritances were cut off, or are being cut off.

The main ones are the classics, history, zi, zhong, and some annotations by those who have learned a lot.

As for astronomy, topography, yin and yang, medicine, and divination, these are even more unique inheritances, and are the most likely to be lost.

After all are collected, first of all, the knowledge is easier to disseminate, and even a large number of rubbings can be classified and printed, so that learning the knowledge can save a lot of detours.

Cultural knowledge is the cornerstone of civilization development.

Only a strong civilization can have a longer lifespan.

If it is set as the Hongwu Grand Ceremony, the name of Hongwu will inevitably be passed down through the ages, and even to future generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang hopes to leave this honor to his grandson.

Zhu Yingwen said firmly: "Grandpa doesn't have to be like this. This book will be compiled for the rest of my grandson's life, and it is equivalent to the name of my grandson being recorded in history."

"This is the grand canon compiled during the Hongwu period, so it is more appropriate to use the name Hongwu."

"Grandpa shouldn't argue with his grandson about this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to obey the arrangement of his grandson.

This matter was announced in the early court of the next day, and it was to be published in the Shangdi newspaper to spread the word to the world.

In the matter of the Hongwu Grand Ceremony, first of all, a large number of editors are needed.

The Hanlin Academy can be regarded as something to do.

The editor-in-chief of Yongle Dadian in history is Xie Jin.

Now Xie Jin has followed Zhu Yunqi to Champa.

It was Huang Zicheng who persuaded Xie Jin to go to Champa. Xie Jin, who is still a little overjoyed, naturally wants to let go of his ambitions.

With the testimony of the previous Wa Kingdom, Xie Jin naturally wanted to be like Xia Yuanji.

Although Huang Zicheng was on top of him when he went, he must be a top official.

In fact, Zhu Ying could also call Xie Jin back, just like compiling the Yongle Canon in history, but after thinking about it carefully, she still thinks it is unnecessary.

Because according to Zhu Ying's idea, the Hongwu Grand Ceremony should be more detailed.

Zhu Ying intends to hand over the editor-in-chief to Liu Sanwu.

As far as today's literati are concerned, Liu Sanwu is second to none in terms of qualifications, reputation, and his own literary accomplishment.

Even though Liu Sanwu is very old now, there is no cloudiness in his eyes, and his mind is very clear.

And at this age, most of his body has been buried in the soil, and the only thing he is obsessed with is learning.

Presumably he would put everything he had learned all his life into it.

Liu Sanwu, who received the appointment, was overwhelmed with gratitude.

In the Fengtian Palace, when Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to edit the matter, Liu Sanwu trembled all over.

At such an old age, I'm really worried that there will be problems with shaking like this.

Liu Sanwu bowed with all five bodies, his tone was firm and excited, and he uttered a voice like an oath: "For the Hongwu Grand Ceremony, I must do my best, and I will die."

At this time, Liu Sanwu seemed to have found the last glory in his life.

He has been studying learning all his life, and it has been almost a century from the Yuan Dynasty to the present Ming Dynasty.

All the civil servants cast envious eyes on Liu Sanwu.

At the same time, I also probably realized that when the compilation of the Hongwu Canon was completed, at Liu Sanwu's current age, it would be about the time when Liu Sanwu died.

In this way, for Liu Sanwu, it can be said that all the light in life has been truly released.

After Liu Sanwu is confirmed as the editor-in-chief, the rest is the editor-in-chief of each department.

Yongle Canon does not have the method of editor-in-chief of this category, but Zhu Ying wants to do it.

Classics, history, zi, and ji are easy to find. After all, they belong to the official school system, and the candidates are basically in the Imperial Academy.

Trouble is a matter of opinion.

Among them, in terms of medical skills, Zhu Ying still asked Zhou Wang Zhu Wei to do it.

After all, the current medical school is developing very well, and it has a great influence both among the civilians and the army, especially the establishment of military medical knowledge, which has saved the lives of many wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

The personnel and system of the medical field are relatively complete at present, and only need to be organized and collected.

But things like astronomy, topography, yin and yang, and metaphysics are much more troublesome, and now we can only call more talented people and strangers from the people.

Fortunately, the current Qin Tianjian is developing well, and Liu Rixin is in charge of metaphysics.

The mythology system is also in the Hongwu Grand Ceremony. Now Yao Guangxiao is still on the way from the grassland to the capital, and he will be in charge when he returns.

Zhu Ying will personally participate in this part.

I have read a lot of novels in my previous life, especially I am very familiar with the prehistoric system.

Moving the prehistoric system in later novels to the current mythology system will have a huge impact on the mythology system in the world today.

Moreover, the prehistoric system truly interprets Buddhism and Taoism.

Especially the phrase that Buddha is originally Tao.

It is equivalent to giving Daming the righteous name of absorbing overseas Buddhism and Taoism.

In addition to the collection of local books, there is actually a very troublesome place in compiling the Hongwu Canon.

That is the collection of folk knowledge.

You must know that many unique skills are not recorded in books, and there is a way of passing them on, which is called word of mouth.

The knowledge that often involves word of mouth is more precious and more connected.

In Zhu Ying's request, all knowledge must be handed over to the court.

And among them, martial arts is also included.

That is to say, the martial arts classics located in various sects of the people are also covered.

This can be regarded as Zhu Ying's selfishness.

In later generations, the so-called martial arts cheats have long been legends, and people do not believe in the so-called martial arts at all.

When guns became popular, Chinese martial arts completely declined because of self-preservation.

After the last ray of light bloomed during the period of the Republic of China in later generations, it was tantamount to disappearing in the dust of history.

It is indeed a pity that 5000 years of skill inheritance has disappeared like this.

So even if it is possible that this decree may cause a bloodbath in today's arena, Zhu Ying doesn't care anymore.

Standing at Zhu Ying's height, you will find that the right and wrong of many things can no longer be defined by the present, and can only be proved by time.

Song Zhong is responsible for this matter.

In the Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying confessed to Song Zhong: "There are three religions and nine streams in the Jianghu, all sects and sects. Naturally, they will be very resistant to handing over their own classics for rubbing. There are still many obstacles for you. of."

"But no matter how many obstacles there are, you must complete them. Although you are acting in accordance with the order of the Palace, don't go too far in killing things and disturb the whole world. The specific measures here need to be grasped. Clear."

"Especially some small sects with two or three people, those whose ancestors have been honored, must pay more attention to methods, and don't destroy the inheritance easily."

"And you have to make it clear that after these secret books are rubbed, they will not be announced to the world, but will only be kept in the court, and will not affect their sects."

What should be said should be said first.

In fact, Zhu Ying also knew that when this matter was entrusted to Jin Yiwei, it already represented something.

The Jianghu faction itself has a natural sense of repulsion towards the court, let alone the guy who wants them to eat.

This is a natural contradiction.

Confucianism violates the law with literature, and chivalry violates the law with martial arts. This is the reason.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will obey your Highness's instructions." Song Zhong replied respectfully.

Hearing this, after Zhu Ying hesitated slightly, she still said: "Under the premise of protecting your life, there is nothing wrong with using some means."

When Song Zhong heard the words, he immediately understood His Highness Taisun's meaning in his heart, and immediately replied respectfully: "I would like to obey His Highness Taisun's order."

Zhu Ying understood that after this decree was issued, Jin Yiwei's already notorious reputation would become even more foul.

At the same time, he may also have the title of "Grandson of the Dog" and the title of "Emperor of the Dog".

Of course, in terms of the current public security environment in Ming Dynasty, these so-called martial arts people only dare to curse in their hearts, trying to have fun. If they really say it in public, it is a crime of disrespect.

The crime of gross disrespect is punished according to the circumstances, involving the royal reputation, starting with ten years of hard labor.

The future rivers and lakes are destined to usher in a violent storm.

On the national level, these things seem a little small, and they are destined not to affect Zhu Ying.

No matter how high the martial arts are, there is no place to jump under dozens of matchlock guns.

Three months later, it was already September 29th in the [-]th year of Hongwu.

This day is Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday, and it is also the day when Li Jinglong went to the West.

The emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to their own birthdays, even Zhu Yuanzhang.

Before Zhu Ying entered the palace, the court officials at that time only had three days off a year, except for Zhengdan and Winter Solstice, which was Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday.

This voyage to the West is of great significance, so Zhu Yuanzhang specially set it on his birthday.

In fact, it is a holiday for officials, but who would dare not come to celebrate His Majesty's birthday?

Even if you are lying in bed due to illness, you have to get up from the bed.

During the palace banquet, Li Jinglong was fortunate to sit at Zhu Yuanzhang's table because of his role as the commander-in-chief of his voyages to the West.

In fact, there were not many people at Zhu Yuanzhang's table.

Basically Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ying, Concubine Guo Ning, Ye Yueqing and others.

Other noble concubines like Zhu Yuanzhang, including Zhu Ying's side concubine, cannot sit at the main table.

Today, Liu Sanwu, Li Jinglong, Zhu Wei, and Zhu Quan have been added.

In fact, in the selection of candidates for the voyage to the West, Zhu Ying also considered King Ning Zhu Quan, but because Yao Guangxiao wanted to return to the capital, Zhu Ying decided to let King Ning Zhu Quan go to Korea.

Goryeo is also very important, and it needs a talented person to guard it. After thinking about it, King Ning and Zhu Quan are the most suitable ones.

King Ning himself has not conferred feudal vassal overseas yet, and has been studying at the Daming Military Academy for the past two years.

The timing is almost right now.

Zhu Ying thought it would be better to let him go to Korea.

The second son, Zhu Wengao, was only born now, and he couldn't wait more than ten years.

Although Koryo is not big, it is not too small, and it is not a big problem to accommodate two or three vassal kings. Now the main thing is to integrate Koryo under the direct rule of Ming Dynasty, and the work of enlightenment is very important.

Even if the second son Zhu Wengao grows up, it is not a big problem to have a vassal state on the territory. It is best to check each other so that they will not mess around, or they can help each other. Look at fate.

"Jing Long, we have been watching you grow up, and we are relieved to be entrusted with the important task of sailing to the West this time."

"This trip for a few years was hard work, but it also broadened my horizons."

"Come on, let's toast together, we wish you a smooth sailing trip."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile while holding the cup.

Hearing the words, Li Jinglong quickly got up and took the cup with both hands: "Thank you for your good words, and I also wish your majesty a long life."

Following Li Jinglong's toast, all the civil and military officials behind stood up and shouted respectfully: "I wish Your Majesty a long life."
