Ye An's status is rather special. Because he has the Black Imperial Fish Talisman on his body, he has almost no obstruction in the forbidden palace. Except for the harem, he can almost enter other places after reporting to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This kind of favor comes from the trust of the Tian family. Liu E doesn't care that Ye An is in the palace. She even hopes that Ye An will be in the palace more so that she can give lectures to Zhao Zhen and she can also hear some wonderful and interesting knowledge.
After all, being in the palace is boring. Living in the palace for a long time will inevitably make you like new things. In this regard, Liu E is the same as Zhao Zhen.
Ye An was different from other courtiers in that he would not rigidly write memorials or memorials, nor would he write high-sounding polite words when he came to visit someone because of something.
One time, just because he wanted to eat chili peppers, he entered the palace carrying the Imperial Fish Talisman. Without going anywhere else, he walked along the corridor of Zishan Hall and entered Linhua Gate to pick chili peppers in the back garden.
The guards on the palace wall thought they were summoned by the empress or the officials, so they simply slimmed down and let him in. After all, there were many rare and exotic plants in the back garden, and there were palace people taking care of them everywhere. There was nothing to worry about. The palace people saw that
Naturally, I will report it.
Unexpectedly, no one knew that Ye An entered the back garden.
Until Liu E was wandering in the back garden, she vaguely saw Ye An, the old man with a protruding ass, picking bright red peppers into his arms under the south wall through the shadows.
Lan Jizong went up and kicked the butt that was swaying from side to side. Even now, Ye An's face is still full of resentment when he sees him...
But Lan Jizong was furious. Ordinary people would like to keep the fish talisman at home if they got it. They would only show it in front of the palace guards when summoned by the Tian family. How could Ye An do it by himself with the fish talisman?
Picked in the back garden?
This is treating the imperial palace as your own vegetable garden!
Others might have been invited to drink tea by the Imperial City Secretary, but Ye An seemed to be fine and left with a big bag of chili peppers stuffed into his chest.
Over time, the imperial guards in the palace became accustomed to the unassuming Ye An. Sometimes when they saw Ye An being busy in the back garden alone, they would kindly step forward to help. Everyone knew that the saint would not blame him.
As a prince in Yunzhong, why not do it if you can still get some reward money?
The palace officials at Chongwen Academy were even more happy when they saw Ye An. Regardless of anything else, Ye An came here the most!
There are many civil servants who have access to Chongwen Academy, but none of them are as generous as Yunzhong Junhou, who flattered Ye An and opened the A-numbered scroll pavilion for Ye An.
Ye An lived up to his expectations and threw a silver bean over. The waiter turned his hand and caught it before it disappeared into his hands. This "craft" was even more skilled than Ye An himself.
The palace servants followed behind and waited on him. This was Ye An's habit at Chongwen Academy. Every time he came, he would borrow a lot of books and go back. The palace servants were used to it.
I saw him holding books taller than a person's head before registering. It was scary to see him. What surprised the palace people even more was that he was able to return those books in just two months.
You must know that he is the young minister of Sinong Temple! He is busy with official duties on weekdays, so he has little time to read. It is not easy to read it in two months. For other courtiers, it would take at least half a year.
Finished reading.
What surprised the palace people even more was that what Ye An borrowed this time was not only relevant documents related to the compromise method, the sticking method, and the cross-citation method during the Taizu, Taizong, and Zhenzong periods, but also "Taiping Guangji" and "Taiping Yu".
"Lan", "Wenyuan Yinghua", "Cefu Yuangui"!
This is the essence of the two dynasties compiled by Taizong and Zhenzong. It is a masterpiece of literary flourishing and can be passed down to generations.
But there are quite a lot of such large books, and even a set of books would need a small car to fit them. Ye An was struggling to carry it to the small car of Chongwen Academy. The palace servants were so frightened that they stepped forward and said as if their buttocks were on fire: "Ye An
Hou is a little slower, Ye Hou is a little slower!"
"What? Can't I borrow books from Chongwen Academy?"
Ye An was a little confused, and the palace man next to him smiled helplessly and said: "Of course you can borrow it, as long as it has your official seal, but how can I borrow books like you? These four major volumes are
It is a precious treasure in Chongwen Academy. Even if your husbands come to borrow it, they can only get it one volume at a time. Come on, Chongwen Academy is going to be emptied! Can you finish reading so many books?
?”
Ye An smiled: "How about I only borrow them for three months and return all these books after three months?"
"Three...three...months?!"
"Why is it too long? Then two and a half months, it can't be any shorter!"
"Two...two...and a half months? Ye Hou, I dare to ask you, can you turn over these four major novels?!"
Ye An smiled: "Don't worry about it, I'm just asking you if I can borrow it?!" After saying that, he shook the gold leaf in his hand like a fan, and the golden light made the palace people's eyes go straight.
Taking the small gold leaf with one hand, he gave out the special ivory tablet with the other hand. The palace man smiled and said: "What the Marquis said, as long as you return it within the time limit, you can borrow this book from Chongwen Academy as you like! Palace card
You keep it and use it when you go to the dental office later!"
Ye An took it with a smile and left immediately, leaving only the palace servants struggling to carry books one after another.
He borrowed books not only for reading, but also for printing. These four major books of the Song Dynasty are rare treasures. They are also the facade that the old Zhao family worked hard to compile. The "Cefu Yuangui" records the deeds of the emperors and ministers of the past dynasties.
The encyclopedias "Taiping Yulan" and "Taiping Guangji", which contain all the cognitive sciences of this era, can be said to be all-encompassing by category. This kind of book is generally called a class book. The idiom "opening the book is beneficial" is Taizong's reference to these two books.
Evaluation of this book, "Wenyuan Yinghua" is a large collection of literature, connected with "Selected Works", from the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, divided into poems, poems, songs and essays according to style, and also includes imperial edicts and imperial edicts.
, calligraphy, epigraphs, inscriptions and many other literary works by famous people.
These four books had a great influence on this era, but unfortunately they were not widely circulated, and were even shelved. Only important officials in the court could have the opportunity to borrow them to show the favor of the heavenly family.
Ye An took the book back, and naturally he could find out the source and origin of the refraction method, cross-citation method, and pasting method. Of course, the more important thing was to print and sell these books.
The printing shop of Yunzhong County Prince's Mansion in Zhuangzi outside Tokyo has been able to carry out large-scale printing. Ye An used these four major deployments as printed matter for the purpose of stress testing.
The movable type in the printing room is ready-made. Even if you encounter a few rare characters, you only need to carve them on site. In this way, you can not only print these large books, but also fill up the movable type inventory of the printing room. This is
The benefit of killing two birds with one stone.
It is easy to sell a book like this for hundreds of guan. If four books are discounted by 1,000 guan, someone will probably pay to buy them. As for the impact of the spread of the books on the Tian family, there is no need to worry about it.
Of course, the officials of the past dynasties wanted to spread these books to all parts of the world. This is a great achievement of the old Zhao family! But why did the Tian family shelve this book? The printing cost is too high!
If Ye An could print these books and sell them, Liu E would probably laugh out of her dreams...
