Ma Wensheng was the Minister of War and a veteran of the Five Dynasties. He was a singular saying in the court. He couldn't stand Xu Qiong's attitude of not facing history. He just said something lightly, and he choked Xu Qiong so hard that he couldn't speak.

According to Xu Qiong's meaning, the classics that disappeared for four years in the history of the Ming Dynasty violated the national policies formulated by Taizu and had no reference value at all. Therefore, it is classified as dregs. It is possible to abandon it. The "Da Ming Hui Dian" must be compiled, and the rules and regulations listed can be directly jumped from Taizu to Taizong's dynasty.

Ma Wensheng then confronted him. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the world was in chaos, and there were few wise emperors in the country. So according to your point of view, you should give up the dross, so there is no need to repair this period of history?

History is used to record. Since we want to compile the "Ming Hui Dian", we must record all the rules and regulations since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. We cannot deliberately not mention them because some rules and political struggles were abolished. Otherwise, the "Ming Hui Dian" is a "filthy history" and is ridiculed by historians in later generations.

Xu Qiong and Ma Wensheng were both old ministers, and it was quite good to have a private relationship in the court. At this time, Ma Wensheng was so aggressive that Xu Qiong was completely disgusted and immediately turned a blind eye without saying a word.

Jiao Fang stood up to defend Xu Qiong: "Shangshu Ma overlooked a problem. Even if he wanted to practice it, it might not be easy to practice it, right? After the Jingnan Dynasty, most of the classics were abolished and burned down. Now there is no archive in the Hanlin Academy. If he wants to compile it, it will definitely extend the period of "Huidian" to be completed, making "Huidian" look cool and even more undesirable."

Ma Wensheng was very confident. He looked at Jiao Fang opposite him with a smile and said nothing, but his eyes clearly stated what he wanted to express: You haven't practiced yet, how could you know it's hard to practice? Or are you afraid that you will confuse the public here because of the cultivation of this historical rules and regulations?

Because Ma Wensheng came forward, the problem fell into a stalemate again, and the smell of gunpowder in Wenhua Hall became stronger.

When Zhu Youtang saw the scene stalemate, he wanted to leave the imperial examination, but the problem was raised by him. If it ended in vain, it would be unreasonable.

Fortunately, there is a minister next to him who can observe his words and expressions, and the representative is Li Dongyang.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi looked hesitant, Li Dongyang immediately stood up and went out to salute with his understanding of the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that since you need to compile the "Huidian" and not make any mistakes in historical materials, you might as well ask the Hanlin Academy to compile the classics of the late Hongwu year first. Is it feasible? After he has finished organizing it, he will discuss the court."

Li Dongyang is called "Li Gongduan" because he has the ability to make a final decision on some indecisive matters. He obviously will not tend to either side in this issue, because it will undermine fairness or convention. On the one hand, it is the rigorous attitude that a historical writer should have, and on the other hand, the legitimacy of Emperor Taizong's succession to the throne, which is not to be underestimated. Therefore, Li Dongyang simply proposed to ask the Hanlin Academy to organize all the classics between the 32nd and 35th years of Hongwu, and then see if it is necessary to compile this history.

It sounds reasonable, but Li Dongyang cleverly avoided a question, which was to name the Jianwen reign, which was equivalent to defiance of Emperor Hongzhi's original intention of holding this sutra.

Even the Grand Secretary Li Dongyang spoke, and the words were reasonable. The princes and nobles and civil and military ministers present, including Xu Qiong, Ma Wensheng and others who had just had a dispute, stopped talking. Zhu Youzhang sighed lightly and asked loudly: "What do you think?"

Xu Qiong took the lead in delivering his tribute: "Go back to Your Majesty, I will discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it." More ministers stood up, and in fact, they were fence-betted on this issue, just like Li Dongyang.

The officials of the Hanlin Academy were of low rank and were already recorders, so they were not qualified to express their opinions. In the end, Chen Xi, like his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy around, stood up and said "Address" and the matter was revealed.

In the end, Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhang did not express his position, and fortunately he did not betray the person who wrote the memoir.

The imperial lecture ended in this disharmonious atmosphere. The Minister of the Honglu Temple left the squad and knelt in the hall, first praised it, and waited for the praise. The officials from the east and west squads, including Chen Xi, turned from opposite directions to face the north where the emperor's throne was, waiting for Emperor Hongzhi's orders to be given.

Usually at this time the emperor has two choices, to let all officials leave the palace, or leave them to give food. Zhu Youzhang raised his hand and ordered: "Be one with the officials and people in the imperial lectures, and eat every time."

Chen Xi hurriedly followed other officials and knelt down to express his gratitude.

When Shen Xi kowtowed, Emperor Hongzhi had already stood up and left. After a while, Chen Xi got up and returned to the table. He packed up the recorded contents of the sutras and took them with him. After returning, he had to organize them again. These may be manuscripts that would be needed to compile history for Emperor Hongzhi in the future.

After leaving Wenhua Hall, Chen Xi followed other officials to have a "work meal". Guanglu Temple held a banquet in the east wing of Fengtian Hall to entertain all the officials who attended the lecture. Although the meal was not as good as the palace banquet that day, it was at least much better than the lunch on the Hanlin Academy on weekdays.

During the meal, officials whispered about the memorial, and they all guessed who wrote this memorial?

According to the views of officials from the Hanlin Academy, the person who is most likely to submit the report is Wang Yang, and Xie Qianben is the most questionable object, but he is the "referee". If the emperor asked the Grand Secretary of the Government to write such a report, it would seem "a big deal".

Wang Zan said: "It goes without saying that the next person in charge of the court is the person who wrote this memorial."

Someone nodded and agreed immediately.

Chen Xi just listened to it as a joke. He believed that it was fortunate that he would not be demoted and punished for his salary this time, and he did not dare to ask for anything else. Furthermore, Chen Xi knew that he was a gun envoy by Emperor Hongzhi. Xie Qian and Wang Xing performed such a play under the instruction of Zhu Youzhe. In fact, the initiator was the emperor who was the supreme emperor.

...

...

When I returned to the Hanlin Academy in the afternoon, all Hanlin people had to submit their own manuscripts, because there was no shorthand method these days, so it was obviously unlikely that each word would be recorded in a complete and complete manner. Even if everyone recorded the manuscripts, they might not be able to sort out the contents of the previous lectures.

However, Chen Xi was able to recall a little later and listed the content he heard in detail. When all the manuscripts were handed over to Zhu Xizhou, Zhu Xizhou looked at more than ten pages of paper and couldn't help but look at Chen Xi in surprise, but he didn't say anything. It was not until the work was over at dusk that he found an opportunity to tell Chen Xi: "I didn't expect that Chen Xiu was so attentive. Your part would probably be worthy of all the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy."

Chen Xi bowed and said, "Brother Maozhong praised him."

Zhu Xizhou and Chen Xi left the Hanlin Academy and talked about family matters along the way.

From the time Zhu Xizhou and Chen Xi have been together for the past few days, Chen Xi has felt that Chen Xi’s ability is extraordinary. Even though Chen Xi looks a little lazy on weekdays, in the compilation of the "Da Ming Hui Dian", no problems can be found in any manuscripts compiled by Chen Xi. Chen Xi even "repaired" the original revised scripts. Afterwards, it was proved that Chen Xi added content was not fabricated out of thin air, but something wrong in the records of different historical records. Today he discovered that Chen Xi had the ability to "not forget it after hearing", and wanted to get closer to Chen Xi.

Because the promotion and assessment of the Hanlin Academy is about to come, Zhu Xizhou will be promoted to a poster or lecturer if nothing unexpected happens. He has already stood on the standpoint of "Shangguan", hoping to establish good relations with Chen Xi, a "subordinate", and pave the way for his future development in the Hanlin Academy.

"............... do you think the memorials presented at the lecture came from Mr. Xie or Mr. Wang?"

Zhu Xizhou suddenly asked Chen Xi about this matter. Many people had expressed their opinions before, but Chen Xi seemed indifferent to it.

In fact, Chen Xi had nothing to say. After all, he was the one who wrote the memoir, and he could not tell the truth.

Chen Xi shook his head. On the surface, he said he didn't know, but he really wanted to express it, neither of them was.

Zhu Xizhou sighed: "It seems that Your Majesty is going to ask about the old things in the late Hongwu period. It is strange. A few days ago, Mr. Wang asked someone to sort out some of the codes and editors of Shen in the late Hongwu period and early Yongle. Can editors of Shen be sorted out in the end?"

The reason why people in the Hanlin Academy all suspected that it was written by Wang Yang was mainly because Wang Yang suddenly proposed some rules and regulations during the Hongwu and Yongle periods during the imperial lecture.

If Wang Yang directly took the rules and regulations of the founding of the Ming Dynasty as an example, it would not be doubtful. After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors liked to let the officials of the imperial lectures talk about the "The Instructions of the Emperor Ming Dynasty", "The Instructions of the Ancestral Instructions", "The Instructions of the Ancestral Instructions", "The Imperial Instructions of Taizu", and the "Records of the Emperor" and the "Treasure Sermon" of the emperors of various generations. However, Wang Yang directly grabbed the Ming Dynasty classics and the first few years before Taizu died and talked about them in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the people he called the Hanlin Academy to help organize the rules and regulations of this history, which made people feel that he was "prepared early."

However, Zhu Xizhou and others did not expect that Chen Xi, who helped Wang Yang sort out these copywritings, was the "culprit".

Chen Xi did not reply this time, but nodded heavily.

This nod made Zhu Xizhou think that Chen Xi had sorted out and handed over the information to Wang Yang, but the fact was that Chen Xi had sorted out himself and wrote a memorial to Emperor Hongzhi.

Even if Chen Xi wants to cover up the matter of writing the memorial, he cannot explain it too clearly, because sooner or later, the matter will be exposed. If he intends to deceive now, Zhu Xizhou and others will question him, don’t you say that this matter has nothing to do with you? If you don’t have faith, don’t know what it can be?

But Chen Xi shook her head and nodded. Even if Zhu Xizhou and others found out that they were deceived, Chen Xi could explain unjustly... Sorry, it was not that I deliberately deceived you, but that the emperor did not let me say it, so I kept silent. I had actually expressed it in a vague way, but that you didn't understand it accurately.

Zhu Xizhou sighed again: "It is really difficult for His Majesty to ask the Hanlin Academy to organize the classics after the 31st year of Hongwu."

Chen Xi asked: "Is there no relevant content stored in the Hanlin Academy Library?"

Zhu Xizhou shook his head helplessly: "When I was studying books earlier, I searched them many times but couldn't find them. Chen Xiushuo, have you helped Mr. Wang sort them out?"

"A hundred years have passed since the incident. I suddenly mentioned Jingnan... If the arrangement is not properly done and angered Your Majesty, my Hanlin Academy will probably be resigned. It is best for the writer Chen to read more classics when he returns in the past few days to see if there are any written records that can be used."

Chen Xi nodded and promised that this matter was not difficult for him, because he knew a little about the new policies issued during the Jianwen period of the Ming Dynasty, and he also knew who made the records and which classics could be found.

However, these classics were gradually revealed to the world after the resumption of the reign of Jianwen during the Wanli period. Even if there are some collections among the people, they are still in the hands of a few book collectors. However, Chen Xi soon thought that someone would definitely help him, but this person lived a little far away, but he believed that this person would come to the capital in the near future.
