I studied in modern times

Chapter 224 Yuanyou Dictionary
Yeluju looked at the memorial that he had revised five times.

He let out a little breath, sealed it with wax paint, and then summoned a close aide to hand over the memorial to him, saying: "Send it to the imperial court of the emperor immediately!"

When Liao envoys were in the Song Dynasty, their activities would be strictly restricted.

But according to the covenant, correspondence is not restricted.

Of course, the speed is slower. From Bianjing to Shangjing, it will take more than ten days at the fastest.

But Yeluju felt that he could afford to wait, and he had to wait until Shangjing replied!
This is a great future!

……

On the other side of Duting Station.

The Xixia envoy, named Mo Duo, untied his left lapel irritably.

Bianjing city is too hot!

He can't stand the heat!

However, the Nanman monarchs and ministers in Bianjing did not notify him to enter the palace for a long time.

It made him even more irritable!
The most disturbing thing was what he had just heard.

The Southern Man and the Northern Dynasties seem to be negotiating a new covenant!
The covenant seems to involve 300 million copper coins! (The information he can get is limited, so it is impossible to know the whole picture)

300 million guan!

What does the Southern Barbarian want to do?
Are you going to ask Northern Dynasty to deal with Dabai Gaoguo together?

This made Wei Ming Mo Duo begin to bear tremendous psychological pressure!

He knew very well that even when Emperor Jingzong (Li Yuanhao) was alive, the Dabai Gao Kingdom would not dare to offend the Southern Man and the Northern Dynasty at the same time.

Back then, when the Northern Dynasty invaded the Dabai Gao Kingdom, Jingzong immediately sought peace with the Nanman.

Then he turned back and fought against the Northern Dynasty.

Even so, it was only luck of the sky, and he barely won once by luck.

Moreover, after winning the battle, immediately sue for peace and surrender.

This was true for the Dabai Gao Kingdom during the reign of Emperor Jingzong, let alone the current Dabai Gao Kingdom?
"No!" Wei Ming Mo Duo said: "I must write a letter to return to the country and report this matter to the Queen Mother and Wu Zu!"

"If the southern barbarians and the northern dynasties really join forces, it will be clear that the Gao country is in danger!"

In his understanding, the Southern Barbarians were willing to spend 300 million yuan a year to the Northern Dynasty, and they must be asking the Northern Dynasty to attack the Dabai Gao Kingdom together.

Otherwise, is the Nanmanzi stupid?Taking money as money?
Even if the empress dowager and empress dowager of the Nanman were stupid, the ministers of the Nanman would not do such a thing!
Therefore, there is only one truth: destroy the Great White Kingdom!

……

Wen Yanbo's mansion.

Great Master Song, after listening to Wen Yiqing's description, he let out a little breath: "This young master... can be said to have become a king at the same time, as wise as Han Ming..."

In Wen Yanbo's eyes, what he said was perfect.

The rest are details.

For example, anti-counterfeiting, such as the method of issuance, such as the exchange process of reserves, where and when to exchange...

And these things should not be considered by the emperor.

Even, the emperor only needs to put forward a feasible idea, and all other officials will be responsible.

Otherwise, the Son of Heaven will do everything by himself, so what should Zai Zhi do? !

So Wen Yanbo stood up and walked to the inner house. He wanted to see his wife Wang.

Let Wang's Kuncheng enter the palace in the future and bring some words to Thirteen Niangs.

……

The next day, Ding Wei (fifteenth day).

Zhao Xu had just finished his breakfast and Feng Jing came to report: "Everyone, Deng Runfu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, has just sent a post, asking the imperial court to be alone!"

"Ask Bachelor Deng to wait in the front hall of Chongzheng Hall. I will be there in a moment!" Zhao Xu ordered.

Now, with the support of the Empress Dowager and the acquiescence of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Xu has obtained all the powers to summon the ministers alone.

This is the authority that takes Shen Kuo as the gap, expands the gap little by little, and gradually gets involved.

Up to now, he has actually obtained this power.

The Department of Tongjian also no longer sent the memorials that the ministers specified to ask for an independent response or to write a letter to the Palace of Baoci, but directly to the Palace of Funing.

The two palaces are very relieved about this.

Because Zhao Xu would take the initiative to tell them about the summoning of the minister and the letter from the minister.

Through his performance, Zhao Xu convinced both palaces that he was capable of doing well and could handle these things.

Of course, very few people know about this now.

Except for the people around Zhao Xu and Shen Kuo, there was Deng Runfu.

This is the result of Zhao Xu's deliberate control.

He is still young and is growing. Although his mind is mature and his skills are sufficient to control the ministers, he is not physically ready yet.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Xu arrived at the hall of Chongzheng Hall under the guard of Yulong Zuozhi.

Deng Runfu was already waiting in the hall, and when he saw Zhao Xu entering the hall, he greeted him with a fluorine: "Your servant respectfully welcomes the official family..."

Zhao Xu sat on the throne, looked at Deng Runfu, and asked, "Scholar Deng, but the matter I entrusted to the bachelor before has achieved results?"

Deng Runfu bowed respectfully and said: "Reporting to the official family, since the edict was issued in June Dinghai (25th), the minister and the academy have been working day and night. Fortunately, I have not disgraced my fate and have begun to form a sample book. I beg to enter the imperial court..."

Zhao Xu said happily: "Quickly submit it, I want to read it myself!"

But in my heart, I felt somewhat disappointed.

Those radicals at Yushitai actually died down, and they didn't chase him like they did in his previous life.

pity!pity!
It was a good nest, but no fish entered it.

Both Wang Zhan and Liu Zhi could hold it back!This makes Zhao Xu really disappointed!

Because, if they insist on Zhao Xu reading "Zi Shuo", then today is their death day!

Deng Runfu didn't know this, he took out a thick bound book from his sleeve, put it in his hand respectfully, and said: "I follow the edict of the official family, follow the old affairs of Han Xu Shen, and think of it as a dictionary..."

"It has already begun to take effect. It has recorded commonly used characters, 710 characters, and more than [-] allusions, poems, and sources..."

"In the meaning of the imperial decree, use the radical arrangement as the index, the number of strokes as the order, and among the pages of the book, use the number as the page number..."

"There are seven volumes in the compiled bibliography. This is the first sample volume. Please read it, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Xu was very happy.

Feng Jing walked up to Deng Runfu, took the book in his hand, and respectfully presented it to the emperor.

Zhao Xu picked it up and placed it in front of him to appreciate it.

Deng Runfu was a smart man. After Zhao Xu ordered and personally confirmed that it was a Holy Day gift to the Cishengs of the Two Palaces.

Therefore, this bound book is very particular.

The cover is woven from silk and embellished with gold patterns.

On it, four vertical characters were embroidered with gold thread: Yuanyou Dictionary!
Opening the booklet, the paper inside is the finest rice paper.

Flawless white, crystal clear.

The characters are in the standard Guange font written by Deng Runfu himself.

Each handwriting was correct, and according to Zhao Xu's request and the template given to him, the index page of the radicals was listed first.

Because it was a gift project to be carried out before the Empress Dowager's Holy Day tomorrow.

Therefore, only common words, general interpretations and well-known allusions, as well as official Qieyun and phonetic words are listed.

Even so, this is still a masterpiece!
Deng Runfu led hundreds of officials from the academy, and spent ten days, almost day and night, finally compiling the first volume.

Of course, this is just laying the groundwork.

To really compile the 'Yuanyou Dictionary', Zhao Xu estimated that it would be impossible to mobilize a large number of people to do it well within five or six years.

This is not just Zhao Xu's gift project.

It is also a big project that will be used in the future to place Zhishi Zaizhi, You Rong, senior ministers, and even those ministers who I don't like but have no excuse to dismiss!
When Zhao Xu doesn't like a certain minister or simply feels that he may hinder his governance.

Zhao Xu will invite him to compile the "Yuanyou Dictionary".

In modern times, sending people to local chronicles and science and technology offices is a typical form of exile.

But in the Song Dynasty, the minister who was appointed by the emperor to preside over the compilation of projects such as dictionaries and libraries.

This is glory!

No matter how many people break their heads, they can't win the grace of God!

This is something that all scholar-bureaucrats cannot refuse!

Establishing words, establishing virtue, and performing meritorious deeds are the three immortal things.

Now, I'm giving Qing a chance to leave a name in history and be famous forever, why don't you hurry up and say: Thank you, the official family?

Therefore, Zhao Xu has already made up his mind to learn from Yongle and Hongli.

There will be a Yuanyou Ceremony in the future!
On the one hand, we need to save traditional classics and protect the classics of our ancestors to leave more legacy to future generations.

On the other hand, the stability of the ruling and opposition parties can be maintained.

It is no longer necessary to intensify conflicts by demoting officials.

The Yuanyou Grand Ceremony, the host or participant of such a national cultural project, is enough to appease people.

At the same time it made him weep with gratitude.

Zhao Xu flipped through the Yuanyou dictionary in his hand, and then nodded with satisfaction.

This dictionary was specially ordered by Zhao Xu. The first volume is based on the Kuncheng Festival of the Empress Dowager on July 710th, with a total of [-] six pages.

The second volume is based on August 22, the birthday of the Queen Mother, and has a total of 820 pages.

After closing the pages of the book, Zhao Xu took this thick dictionary and said to Deng Runfu: "The bachelor will go with me to Baoci Palace, and present a gift to my mother!"

Deng Runfu bowed again: "I would like to obey the imperial decree!"

Although he is in the academy, he also heard about what happened yesterday.

So the already respectful attitude has become even more respectful now, and it can even be said to be trembling.

At least, he did this in front of Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu didn't bother to take care of this matter either.

Deng Runfu was a loyal minister he trusted and would never betray him - in his previous life, in the late Yuanyou era, after Deng Runfu was recalled at the suggestion of Fan Chunren and others, he had been expressing his loyalty to Zhao Xu through various channels, either overtly or covertly.

Facts have proved that he is indeed a loyal minister.

Recalling Zhang Dun, rehabilitating Cai Que, Deng Wan and other injustice cases, opening the precedent of Shao Sheng Shao Shu, all done by Deng Runfu!
Take Deng Runfu to Baoci Palace.

The two palaces were still reviewing memorials behind the curtain, and saw Zhao Xu with a Hanlin bachelor and a thick book in his hand.

Both palaces were a little surprised.

However, Zhao Xu had already lifted the thick book in his hand with all his strength, then knelt down, and said: "Tomorrow's holy day, the mother will not be able to celebrate because of the emperor's funeral... Sun Chen was terrified, so he ordered the Hanlin scholar Chen Runfu followed Xu Shenzhi's "Shuowen Jiezi", indexed by radicals, and ordered according to the number of strokes, compiled "Yuanyou Dictionary" to celebrate the mother's birthday!"

"I wish my mother a thousand years!"

After saying that, Zhao Xu bowed his head again.

The Empress Dowager who was sitting inside the curtain was already ecstatic, she was even moved to tears.

　I originally planned the plot of Liu Zhi and Wang Zhi jumping into the pit, but I thought about it, and then substituted the thoughts of these people, thinking that they would not jump into the pit.

　　reason?

　　Now the leading brother is in Chenzhou, and they have not been trusted by the two palaces.

　　It's too stupid to rush to the tower with real strength!
