My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 147 Great Contributions

  Zhu Di is obviously very interested in this.

  One book can solve a major epidemic, 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: "The book explained in detail how to prevent and control epidemics, and also taught a lot about the principles of learning..."

   "It's just the title of the book... the students forgot it for a while."

   "..."

   All of a sudden... 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 while.

   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 the 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 would look up to him at this time.

   This is my library, my library!

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

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

  Your Majesty's words are as true as they are!

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

  Zhu Di said: "Really? There is such a place in the world?"

  Speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing's house, Qixia's library, do you know?"

  Zhang Anshi bit the bullet and 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."

  As soon as he heard that Zhang Anshi was also 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 are willing to go. Doesn't Your Majesty know my reputation among scholars?

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

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

  Zhu Di 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 had various rituals, but Emperor Gao was different. When Emperor Gao made the rules, he rushed to use the ministers as cattle and horses.

   Therefore, this Ming Dynasty's rest time is extremely short, and 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 they have heard about this library, but...after all, they are all hearsay. They dare not talk in front of His Majesty. The surname Zhu, except for Jianwen, is all perverts. The ghost 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 is my business still going?

He gritted his teeth in his heart, but fortunately he was able to maintain a smile and said: "Then there are such wonderful books 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, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I... have no impression."

   "That's weird." Zhu Di squinted his eyes, as if he had an idea in his mind, 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 very seriously: "Everything the students said is true."

Zhu Di said: "This book alone can 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 look at the book...What is it?" look."

   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... which is not a bad thing.

  The library, they have never seen it, 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 ordered someone to drive and prepare to travel.

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

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

  Zhang Anshi mixed in the crowd for fun, this majesty has gone crazy to make money.

   Very good, just keep it like this.

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

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

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

  As for Qixia, there have been guards here for a long time, with one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps.

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

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

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

  His Majesty has finally developed 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 refuse 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 listen to it."

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

   is among the discussions 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, the buildings seem to be full of bookshelves.

   There are even three dedicated buildings, which are 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 is classified for easy search.

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

   I 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, which is responsible for the tea supply here. It may be 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 studies 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 Li Wensheng is unaware of this now. He was excited and walked quickly into the small building.

  The books here are all new, even...there is a unique scent of 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".

   That's right, that's it.

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

   Sure enough, there is nothing wrong.

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

  He was very excited.

  Zhu Di couldn't help getting excited.

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

   Xie Jin couldn't help poking his head.

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

   All of a sudden, 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 in 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 considerate 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, and besides that, there were some so-called "learning experience".

  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."

   Paused, 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 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 three words come out...

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

  Xie Jin: "..."

   Xie Jin was obviously in disbelief.

   No way, no way.

   Is that the one?

  His face was a little uncomfortable, and his expression was frozen.

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

   At the back of 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 then saw many people falling on him with complicated eyes.

  He didn't like the feeling of being stared at by everyone, so he bit the bullet and said: "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 is at a half-baked level, there are indeed too few books on miscellaneous studies in this era, and many of them are 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 seriously.

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

   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.

   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?"

  Hundred 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 Li Wensheng.

  Li Wensheng's face was full of excitement at this time, 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?

  You can 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 just say it."

  Zhang Anshi smiled helplessly and said: "I'm afraid I'll make a mistake. If I make a mistake, wouldn't it become a minister 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.”

   "Observe, learn?"

  "Understanding the essence of things, of course, is not what Cheng Zhu said, but to really observe the 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. He smiled and said: "This time, you have saved countless people. Good boy, you really look like me!"

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

  Zhang Anshi immediately responded: "Where is it, this is 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. Zhang Anshi made a great contribution this time, 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."

   Xie Jin only reacted at this time, and hurried forward to respond.

  Zhu Di 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 talented and knowledgeable, 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 is even a little jealous of Zhang Anshi. He has no talent and has never studied hard in a cold window. However, such a person can always win by surprise and win the appreciation 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 the so-called Zhuge Liang at all.

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

   "Your Majesty." Hu Guang finally had a bit of good intentions at this time, 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."

  Zhu Di then looked away from Xie Jin, and said: "Well... In this way, it is true that there must be a good reward. You Wenyuan Pavilion will draw up this matter."

  Hu Guang hurriedly said: "I will 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 saying that, everyone followed in Zhu Di's footsteps and came to a hall of the library together.

   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 is obese, almost occupying two seats by himself, but he is very excited, and keeps 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-serving man 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 can't come here often because I have so many opportunities, if not... I really don't want to go. Zhang Qing's family, what do you think?"

  Zhang Anshi nodded his head 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, and you can go up the mountain directly from here. If you are tired from studying, 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.

  The officials were stunned for a while, 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 worth seeing, 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. After 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 bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you can come here to study, I will feel refreshed and happy."

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

  Xie Jin: "..."

   After being silent for a while, Xie Jin said obediently, "Yes."

  ...

   returned 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 Look... this time... 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. It makes sense. But 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... Zhu Di's words, in fact, she already knew about them. Before Zhu Di arrived in Da Nei, King Yi had already inquired about the news and reported it to her.

  Just now, she has to pretend to be very fresh, listen carefully, and give admiration from time to time.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said: "The prince taught the son... No, the guy raised by the prince is really not simple. No wonder Zhang Anshi's sister is always so understanding of righteousness and general knowledge. I am different, and all my children are bastards. It's just that the prince is better, and I don't know what happened to that kid Zhu Gaoxu."

  Empress Xu said: "You have saved so many people, Your Majesty must reward them well. 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 I will finalize it later. Who do you think I am? Is I the kind of person who compares everything?"

  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 found out that Zhang Anshi was the author of that strange book, so he wished he could call Zhang Anshi his father. Those officials... are even more ridiculous. It's even like eating a fly, hahaha..."

  Empress Xu said: "The more young you are, the more your Majesty should be careful."

  Zhu Di suddenly looked at Empress Xu: "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...does your majesty know about Huo Qubing? The champion Hou Huo Qubing, at the time he said 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 on the mind of my concubine."

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: "..."

   "Xu Huizu is always a bit unwilling to take advantage of that guy." 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 wrong?"

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

  ...

  Students, please ask for a monthly pass.
