Ming Tan slumped his shoulders with a sad face, feeling that he was so full that he had nothing to do, and was only looking for trouble for himself.

Now it's all right, the original errands have to be done, and the new title issue must be prepared as soon as possible.Seeing that Qiu Wei is coming soon, I am afraid that it will be too late to publish the publication, but I can still catch up with the examination in more than half a year, right?

Moreover, since it is necessary to hide the connection between this inscription and the imperial court, it is necessary to set up a store in the capital as soon as possible for distribution and sale—this is another matter that Mingtan needs to select, supervise, or even inspect in person. matter.

Coupled with the huge workload of compiling the book...

Oh, how busy is this going to be, Ming Tan frowns.

Several court ladies filed in and set out the dinner.The emperor was always frugal and didn't like extravagance and waste. Even the meal specifications were extremely simple. Several dishes were well matched with meat and vegetables, just enough for two people to finish.

Seeing that Ming Tan was poking at the food with one chopstick but without the other, the emperor felt a little amused in his heart, picked some lettuce for her, and said with a smile: "Why, I'm still writing for the book editor. Are you worried about things?"

"Well. Rather than worrying, it's more appropriate to say worry."

Ming Tan sighed, lowered his head and bit the lettuce, and made a crisp "click" sound, "Compilation is such an important matter, there must be no mistakes, and every link must be considered in detail... Longlin is only afraid of himself. If you don’t have enough skills to handle this matter well, instead, you will be self-defeating, wasting the manpower and material resources during this period, and that would be a great sin.”

"I see." The emperor smiled and nodded understandingly, "So, this is the real reason why you want to shirk the book compilation, right?"

"... Cough, of course it's because I'm afraid of being busy," Ming Tan stuck out his tongue, and said honestly, "After all, Miss Lin... still has a government simulation book that can't be finished..."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel deeply guilty about her ambition of becoming the Queen of Tiancheng——

And dark cool.

Students all over the world are one family, and they are blessed to enjoy the same problems and work together, and no one can escape!

Happiness must be based on the pain of others!

She doesn't mention how vicious she is in her heart.On the other side, after hearing his daughter's answer, the emperor couldn't hold back immediately, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Very good! As expected, only the young lady of the Lin family can cure you!"

Ming Tan curled his lips and rolled his eyes.As soon as I opened my mouth, my old wife was strict with me.

She took a mouthful of food without any image, and when she was slandering her father for only watching the fun, she found that the other party gradually suppressed her smile, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Ming Tan quietly, even her tone was more serious than before scored two points.

"Long Lin, do you know why Father Huang and Miss Lin both insist on asking you to compile a book?"

Ming Tan was startled, put down his chopsticks as well, sat up straight and said, "It's for the imperial examination..."

"No, it's not."

Before the end of the hesitation fell, the emperor gently interrupted her, and said slowly: "The real purpose of compiling the book is not just for the imperial examination, but to better promote Confucianism and promote the study of things from time to time. To know—that is to say, while educating the people, it must be fed back to the consolidation of the king’s rule—can Longlin understand?”

Consolidate the rule...

Ming Tan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously opened his eyes wide.

In fact, she has always felt in her heart that whether it is editing ancient books or creating imperial examination journals, these behaviors seem to be somewhat familiar——

Culture absolutely rules.

In ancient times, the Emperor Qin burned books to bury Confucian scholars, and recently there was a great Ming stereotype to select scholars.In the context of the era of the unified dynasty, the ruler needs to use various means to strengthen ideological control and develop independence and centralization in many ways.

It's just that some methods are accompanied by blood and killing, while others are mild and harmless and moisten things silently.For example, the imperial examination is a very typical cultural rule policy. It not only monopolizes talents for the imperial court, but also pushes Confucianism to the supreme orthodox position in one fell swoop, making the thought of "noble and honorable, the most righteous" occupy the People's hearts, so that the people and officials think that the emperor is respected from the bottom of their hearts, highlighting the sanctity of the monarchy.

And an in-depth analysis of the "compilation of books"...isn't it just a strategy of cultural revolution to push the book theory that conforms to the royal family's thinking to the society and penetrate the hearts of the people?

It's just that Ming Tan has the way of thinking of modern science and technology to rejuvenate the country, and the emperor and Lin Shurong are also ancient people with sufficient vision. While focusing on centralization, they also saw the importance of science and technology, so they included such in the compiled bibliography. More practical books, in order to improve the productivity of the whole society.

This is undoubtedly the most enlightened effort that can be made in the context of the entire era.

Because of this, whether it is from the royal point of view or for the future - the project of compiling books is extremely important, and it is still a major event that has to be done.

"..."

After figuring out the key points, Ming Tan...Ming Tan only felt that his heart was overwhelmed, and the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.

"Shu Rongben and I only plan to pick one or two hundred books." She held her forehead with a headache, and said weakly, "but now... I'm afraid this number is far from enough, it can only be regarded as a very small number." ?”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor immediately understood that she had fully understood the true meaning of compiling the book, a smile from the heart appeared on his face, he nodded in agreement and said, "That's exactly it."

Woo woo woo woo.

Ming Tan couldn't taste the food, and cried loudly in his heart.

It can turn people into dogs before they are enthroned, what a sinister thief ship this is!

——So is there still time for her to run now?Sincerely ask, urgent, online and so on.

……

The next day.

Lin Shurong entered the palace as usual, and Ming Tan dragged him out of the Kunning Palace before even the chair was warmed up, got into the sedan chair that had been prepared, and rushed out.

She was very confused by this sudden itinerary, she was at a loss for a long time and didn't figure out where she was going, so she turned her head and asked Ming Tan: "Your Highness, are we going to...?"

"Go to the Hanlin Academy." Ming Tan didn't give a shit, and replied straightforwardly.

Imperial Academy?

Lin Shurong still didn't understand, but was even more confused.

I only screened about a hundred books related to the Five Classics yesterday, and I haven't finished the list of books, so I don't need to rush to the academicians of the Imperial Academy for review?

On the other hand, Ming Tan had seen too much of Lin Shurong's resourcefulness and foresight, and it was rare to see such an expression on the other party's face, so he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

She pursed the corners of her lips and gave a smirk. She deliberately didn't rush to explain, but instead raised her body with lightning speed, stepped forward fiercely, and kissed Lin Shurong hard on the face!

"Chirp!"

Lin Shurong was startled by her solidly, subconsciously stretched her arms, and hugged her tightly into her arms with her backhand.

This is on the sedan chair!What if I fall?

There is an order in the palace that horses are not allowed to gallop, so the sedan chair is naturally carried by manpower.Although it was covered with a thick layer of gauze, it couldn't hide the movements of the figures in it. Mallow, who was accompanying him, was taken aback immediately, and turned his head to ask in doubt, "Your Highness? What happened just now?"

Under Lin Shurong's disapproving stare, Ming Tan stuck out his tongue as if begging for mercy, and raised his voice, "It's just that I didn't sit still after shaking, it's nothing serious!"

Hearing the princess's answer with great confidence, Mallow did not doubt that he was there, but after telling the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair to be more careful, they followed quietly by the side again, and stopped talking.

"—Your Highness is really fooling around."

Lin Shurong stretched out his hand, pinched Ming Tan's face lightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "It must not be like this in the future, do you remember?"

"Remember, remember," Ming Tan gripped the other's hand with a smile, with the words "Remember to eat or not to beat" all over his face, "Qingqing, don't be angry, I won't dare next time."

Since confirming her intention, Lin Shurong has become more indulgent towards her, and of course she will not get angry because of this.So he raised his eyebrows, and simply let Ming Tan hold his hand, and returned to the topic just now, "What is Your Highness going to the Imperial Academy for?"

Having provoked someone just now, of course Ming Tan didn't dare to make any more mistakes at the moment, so he immediately recounted to her the conversation with the emperor yesterday.

"...This is a big deal."

After Lin Shurong listened quietly, he frowned thoughtfully, "So, His Highness went to the Hanlin Academy today to find a few talented adults to help you study and analyze the imperial examination papers over the years, and make sufficient decisions. Articles that serve as examples...and then printed in books and periodicals for circulation by students all over the world?"

"exactly."

"Well, not bad. There are a lot of talents in the Imperial Academy, and most of them are Jinshi who have just passed the scientific examination. They are the best choice for editing."

Lin Shurong nodded, raised his fingertips, and subconsciously tapped Mingtan's palm twice, his complexion slightly gloomy.

"It's just that those bachelors are really weird..." She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Whether I can invite them or not is still unknown."

……

The Hanlin Academy is very close to the Imperial Palace, only separated by a long street.

Due to the particularity of the title and the need to completely draw a line with the official, the emperor did not order the Imperial Academy to cooperate, and there was no verbal order. Everything was done by Mingtan himself, so today's private visit in Weifu came about.

Arrived in front of the palace gate, swiping Lin Shurong's badge to leave the palace, Mallow almost immediately found the nearest car dealership and rented a carriage - it seemed that he did such things a lot, all to accompany Ming Tan A skill developed during many visits to the Lin Mansion.

Four wheels are faster than walking, and it only takes half a stick of incense to travel one street.The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Imperial Academy, and the two stepped off the carriage. After looking at the building in front of them, a guard standing guard at the gate immediately noticed them and hurried forward to salute.

"I've seen the two girls." I probably saw that they were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and the attitude of the guards was also very polite. "This is the Imperial Academy, and you are not allowed to enter at will. If the girls are looking for someone, please tell me their names, and I will wait here for a while." For a moment, allow me to pass on the message."

Hmm, it seems that they are regarded as relatives of one of the adults?

Ming Tan raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much, he just said: "Okay. Then I'll trouble you to go for us, please come and see Master Yang."

...Scholar Yang? !

The guard was stunned, and looked at Ming Tan who looked very composed, and couldn't help confirming again: "What the girl said... But the master of our Imperial Academy, Yang Juezhi Yang Xueshi?"

"It's Yang Zhangyuan." Ming Tan nodded with a smile.

No, no?

How come there are still people who come to see the biggest official in their Imperial Academy?

And as far as he knew, Master Yang was close to the age of hearing, whether it was children or grandchildren... the two girls in front of him didn't seem to be of the same age!

But if not relatives, then who?

The guard was full of suspicion, but he didn't want to ask directly, so he could only say "you two wait a moment", then turned around and hurried towards the door.

As an official institution, the Hanlin Academy was specially secluded from the palace, naturally because it occupies a considerable area.Together with Zangshu Pavilion and Shangshufang, it is known as the "three-point little Langhuan", which is enough to see that these three places are the places where the most books are stored in Tiancheng Dynasty.

However, like the upper study room, the Hanlin Academy has another function, that is, it is a place to cultivate talents and store hope. It is responsible for compiling books, writing history, drafting imperial edicts, etc., and gathers many scholars and scholars who have read classics and classics.

Because Ming Tan wanted to meet Yang Zhangyuan by name, the guards couldn't figure out her details, so they didn't dare to delay, so they stepped on the corridor and went inward.He was a small military officer assigned to guard the gates of these adults, and he seldom entered the Hanlin Academy directly. This time he walked hurriedly on the road, and he attracted many people's attention, wondering what happened.

After walking for a while, when he was about to reach Yang Zhangyuan's house, the guards immediately quickened their pace.But he didn't want to, when he passed a turn, he made a wrong foot and almost bumped into a person!

"Ouch! Who is so careless!"

In fact, there was no real collision, but both sides were taken aback, but the man yelled as if he had been wronged, frowned, patted the official robe with disgust, and said condescendingly: "Are you the guard on duty at the gate? What are you doing running around in the courtyard in such a hurry?"

"I don't offend my lord very much in a lowly position, so I'll apologize to my lord!"

Seeing the wild goose patch on the opponent, the guard immediately understood that this was a fourth-rank servant, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Two distinguished guests came from outside the courtyard, and they said they wanted to see Grand Master Yang. "

"Your honored guest? Do you still want to see Master Yang?"

The attendant narrowed his eyes, looked suspiciously at the guard from head to toe, and asked, "What kind of distinguished guest is there to have such a big show? If someone teased him, he would disturb the head of the courtyard for no reason." My lord is pure, you cannot bear this crime!"

The guard was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I don't have much eyesight in a lowly position, I just saw that the two ladies are amazing in appearance and noble in temperament. You can tell that they are Yuye Jinke at a glance, so..."

"Amazing appearance, Yuye Jinke, and want to meet Yang Zhangyuan by name?" Shi Du subconsciously repeated it, pondered for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes widened immediately.

"Those two women—is one about to reach the age of [-], and the other to be in her twenties?"

Unexpectedly, the other party would ask this question. The guard thought about it for a long time before hesitating: "The girl who said she wanted to see Master Yang is indeed about fourteen or fifteen years old; But I can't tell her age, I just feel that she is a little older than the previous one..."

That's right, the age is right, I'm afraid it's the one——

A fleeting cold light flashed across the eyes of the waiter, he stretched out his hand to block the way of the guard, and said seriously: "Yang Zhangyuan is not in the house at this time, and it is useless for you to go. You might as well take me to receive those two distinguished guests. Invite them into the Hanlin Academy, don't let them wait outside for a long time."

The guard was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the house in charge, hesitated, "But..."

"What?" The attendant gave him a cold look, and said in a threatening tone, "I am Wang Zhi, a bachelor of the fourth-rank Imperial Academy. Isn't he qualified to bring in two guests?"

"No, no, there is no offense to a humble position!"

Seeing that the other party's tone became serious, the guard quickly lowered his head, not daring to make a fuss in front of the fourth-rank officials, and said in a low voice: "They are waiting outside the courtyard, please, Mr. Wang."

"Humph!"

Seeing that he was sensible, Wang Zhi snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the gate without even looking at him.

If I'm not mistaken, the pair of women outside are likely to be the Ninth Princess and her inseparable companion, Miss Lin...

Hmph, this is just right, it will allow him to breathe out a sigh of relief for the Duke!
