Chapter 295: Zhu Yuanzhang: Fourth Brother, \\"Yongle Dadian\\" Is Too Heavy, You Can'
In the audience, Queen Ma took the hands of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and asked them to make a promise not to allow the killing of brothers.
In the stage below, in the first year of Yongle (1403), "Zhu Di" ordered Xie Jin, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, and 147 other people to compile books in order to show off his civility.
Purpose of compilation: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the classics and history have collected books from hundreds of schools of thought. As for astronomy, geographies, yin and yang, medical divination, monks' Taoism, and craftsmanship, they have been compiled into one book. It is not tiring to be voluminous!"
In the winter of the second year, a large-scale book was compiled, and "Zhu Di" named it "Dacheng Documents".
However, in such a hurry, one can imagine its simplicity and roughness.
After reading it, "Zhu Di" felt that "there were many things that were not prepared in the compilation" and was not very satisfied.
In the third year of Yongle (AD 1405), "Zhu Di" again ordered the prince's young masters Yao Guangxiao, Xie Jin, Zheng Ci, the Minister of Rites, to supervise the revision, and Liu Jichi and others to rebuild it. A total of 2,169 people from both the government and the public were mobilized to serve as editors and revisions respectively. , drawing, marking and other work.
In the fifth year of Yongle (1407), the book was completed. Zhu Di was very satisfied after reading it and named it "Yongle Dadian"!
"Yongle Dadian" has a total of 22,877 volumes, of which the table of contents alone has 60 volumes, totaling 11,095 volumes, totaling about 370 million words!!
From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, as many as seven to eight thousand kinds of books were cited, and a large amount of literature and materials were preserved, which is extremely precious. All the books included in "Yongle Dadian" have not been deleted or changed. It was the largest encyclopedia in ancient China, and it was also the largest encyclopedia in the world at that time!!!
When you see the "Tao" on the stage below, tell the number of volumes, volumes, words, and content of "Yongle Dadian".
Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Cang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc., their eyes were full of shock!
"Twenty-two thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven volumes of the book?!!"
Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief.
His mother-in-law, since ancient times, which book has more than 22,937 volumes?!
Not to mention other aspects, this book alone is enough to establish Zhu Di's achievements in the field of literary governance!!!
Just relying on this "Yongle Dadian", Zhu Di is enough to stand at the pinnacle of civil affairs and look down upon more than 99% of the emperors since ancient times!!!
“The catalog alone has sixty volumes?!”
King Qin Zhu's tone was full of disbelief. The set of books he usually read might not even contain six volumes, let alone sixty volumes!
Now the "Yongle Dadian" actually has sixty volumes even with the table of contents. What an exaggeration and outrageous thing is this?!
"Since the Book of Deeds, the classics and history have collected books from hundreds of schools of thought. As for astronomy, geographies, yin and yang, medical divination, monks' Taoism, and craftsmanship, they have been compiled into one book. It is not tiring to be voluminous!"
"What kind of unique book is this?!!"
King Zhu Fan of the Jin Dynasty sighed, "Yongle Dadian" like this can really be said to be a unique book!!!
Since ancient times, when it comes to the preciousness of books, I am afraid that this book can be compared with the three books "Yi", "Daode" and "The Analects of Confucius".
Even in some aspects of value, "Yongle Dadian" is far ahead of the three books "Yi", "Daode" and "The Analects of Confucius"!!!
"I really want to read this book!!!"
Zhou Wang Zhu Ju said with some eagerness that if he could not take a look at such a unique book when it came to the world, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
"Eleven thousand and ninety-five volumes, this pile is probably as high as a mountain, right?!!"
King Zhu Zhen of Chu imagined how shocking it would be to have 11,095 books stacked up.
“Three hundred and seventy million words?!”
Qi King Zhu Su silently recited this approximate total number of words, feeling a little dizzy.
This number of words, for a person like him who doesn't like reading, is simply a despairing and terrifying figure.
Hearing the exclamations of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and other princes, Zhu Di nodded proudly.
There are 22,877 volumes in the book, yes, it is my "Yongle Dadian"!
There are sixty volumes in the catalog alone. Yes, it is my "Yongle Dadian"!!
There are 11,095 volumes in total, yes, it is still my "Yongle Dadian"!!!
There are about 370 million words in total. Yes, everything is correct. This is my "Yongle Dadian"!!!
Although the book "Yongle Dadian" has not even seen the title page for him yet.
But Zhu Di has already decided that in the future, even if he has the power of the whole country, he must publish such a "Yongle Dadian" as his achievement in culture and governance!
As long as he has a book like "Yongle Dadian" in hand, he will dare to speak to all emperors except his father, Zhu Yuanzhang:
"When it comes to culture and governance, you are all scum!!!"
In the face of Zhu Di's words, except for Zhu Yuanzhang who could shamelessly rely on his father-son relationship and say "you fart" to Zhu Di, the other emperors really couldn't refute it.
Except for Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as any emperor dared to refute, Zhu Di would dare to slap him down with the 370 million-word "Yongle Dadian"!!!
After all, in this era, books with ten thousand words are enough to be called masterpieces, and books with hundreds of thousands or nearly one million words, such as "Historical Records", "Hanshu", and "Three Kingdoms", are even called myths!
The 370 million-word "Yongle Dadian" is definitely a myth among myths!! The legend of the legendary minister!!!
Let alone this era, even in Yan Changqing’s previous life, or any era in the past, present, or future, it is still a myth among myths, a legend among legends!!!
Looking at the proud Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice, looked at Zhu Di and said:
"Fourth child."
Zhu Di turned to look at his father, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and said doubtfully:
"What happened to my father?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a righteous expression:
"Fourth, you are still young, and the "Yongle Dadian" is too heavy for you to grasp! It is better to let my father compile this book, and then just casually name it "Hongwu Dadian"."
For such a "Yongle Dadian", Zhu Yuanzhang would be lying if he said he was not greedy.
[Hmph, if we have such a copy of "Hongwu Dadian" in hand, let's see who dares to laugh at us for being uneducated in the future, and who dares to say that our martial arts is not good!!!]
Zhu Yuanzhang thought secretly in his heart.
…………Please give me flowers…………
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not mind his origins as a beggar and a refugee, he would not cover up his previous history of not going to school and being uneducated.
But it doesn’t mean that Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to be laughed at by others for being uneducated!
In fact, in the 21st year of Hongwu in the original history (AD 1388), Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to compile Lei Shu and discussed "editing the words of hundreds of classics and historians into Lei Yao"
It was just that the Seventh Northern Expedition was busy at that time, followed by ten consecutive Northern Expeditions such as the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Northern Expeditions.
It can be said that in the first two years before his death, Zhu Yuanzhang was still busy with the Northern Expedition and had no spare time to compile such a large encyclopedia.
But now that he saw the "Yongle Dadian" written by "Zhu Di" in the future deduction, Zhu Yuanzhang had this idea in advance.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Di looked blank. He couldn't believe that such words came from his father!!!
Zhu Di immediately turned to look at Queen Ma and said with a look of sadness and anger:
"Mom, He wants to steal my "Yongle Dadian"!!!"
000
Before Queen Ma could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said:
"How can something between father and son be called a robbery?!!"
"And now, in the future, you may not inherit our position."
"It's unclear whether you will still have the opportunity to compile the "Yongle Dadian"!!!"
"In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from not compiling such a unique book as "Yongle Dadian" in the future, let's compile it now and then pass it on to you. Isn't this good?!!
Before Zhu Di could speak, Prince Zhu Biao coughed twice and said seriously:
"Dad, now that the Ming Dynasty is flourishing, there is still no spare capacity to compile such a "Yongle Dadian"."
“So it’s better to wait for decades for such a unique book as “Yongle Dadian” to be compiled by me.”
"Although I haven't decided on the name of my reign yet, the name can be called "Mingbiao Dadian" for the time being!"
On the other side, King Qin Zhu Di also took over the conversation and said:
"Brother is right. It is not suitable to compile the "Yongle Dadian" now. You should wait until I succeed to the throne to compile it."
"When the time comes, I will definitely compile a unique book that is more magnificent than the "Yongle Dadian". I have not decided on the name of the reign for the time being. I will also call it "Mingqing Dadian" for the time being.
Jin Wang Zhu Fan also coughed twice and said:
"I think it might be better to call it "Mingfan Dadian" for the time being.
Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Bo also said enthusiastically:
"It can also be called "Mingzhen Dadian"!!!"
""Mingren Dadian" is also very good!!!"
Looking at the shameless faces of his father and all his brothers, Kunyang couldn't help but look up to the sky and said in anger:
"That's my "Yongle Dadian"!!!"
"That's my martial arts achievement!!!"
"I won't take you like this!!!"
