The restoration of cultural relics starts from the live broadcast

Chapter 24
"Si Dao, I mentioned compiling a great book that covers the whole world. How are you preparing?"

The person who spoke was Ming Chengzu Zhu Di who was reclining slightly on the dragon chair.

He looked sideways at Yao Guangxiao and asked, "I've given you two full months, and you still don't have a clue?"

Yao Guangxiao replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister has already reconciled with the Grand Scholars and is in the process of discussing it. I believe it will not be long before the compilation can be started, and the sample can be shown to Your Majesty before the end of the year."

At this time Zhu Di turned his body slightly, nodded, waved his hands and said, "In this case, Si Dao, you should go down first, and don't delay the compilation."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yao Guangxiao kowtowed and thanked, then walked away slowly.

Zhu Di was about to stand up, and said to the eunuch beside him, "Wei Zi, let me go to enjoy the flowers with me."

"Here." The little eunuch beside him nodded immediately and followed Zhu Di out of the Qianqing Palace.

Since Zhu Di ascended the throne half a year ago, he immediately decreed to follow the last wish of the late emperor Ming Taizu to compile a book that can contain all the world's most wonderful books.

The reason why he was so anxious to make an order was because his nephew Zhu Yunqi was still missing.

At the beginning, when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, he made his eldest son Zhu Biao the prince, but Zhu Biao passed away.

No way, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to make Zhu Yunqi, the eldest grandson of the emperor, the grandson of the emperor.

After Zhu Yunqi ascended the throne as Emperor Jianwen, he began to slash the vassals, which intensified the contradictions between the court and the kings.

Under Yao Guangxiao's suggestion, Zhu Di decided to "Qing Jun's side" and replace him.

In the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats who abide by the traditional Confucian morality, this move is really unspeakable.

It just so happened that his father had always wanted to compile a book of wonders in the world, so Zhu Di used the excuse of obeying the last wish of the late emperor to compile this book as soon as he ascended the throne, so that people in the world think that his ascension to the throne is due to God's will.

As for Zhu Di's second reason for wanting to compile this book, that is to win over literati.

He recalled Fang Xiaoru, whom he gave to death half a year ago, and his uneasy heart became worried again.

"Wei Zi, do you think I will be a good emperor?"

Zhu Di walked to the side of the pool, looked at the calm water, and asked the eunuch behind him.

Wei Zi took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is now a good emperor who is loved and respected by everyone."

"Why? Why am I loved by others?" Zhu Di didn't look back, but continued to ask.

Wei Zi replied: "Because it was His Majesty who saved the people of Ming Dynasty who were in dire straits. Without His Majesty, it is very likely that they would still be caught in war. As for the stupid emperor Jianwen"

"Wei Zi, say what should be said, and don't mention what should not be mentioned." Zhu Di interrupted Wei Zi's words.

Wei Zi immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said, "This old slave deserves to die, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Get up." Zhu Di turned around and patted Wei Zi's shoulder, "Go, let my people send more people, and continue to search, I don't believe it, he can still hide for a lifetime!"

Wei Zi lowered his head and took two steps back, "Here, this old servant will leave."

Afterwards, Wei Zi hurriedly walked towards the gate of the palace.

Zhu Di looked at the water in front of him and found a dragonfly standing on the water, and the water immediately set off ripples.
Zhu Di beckoned at this time, and then another young eunuch walked quickly, waiting for Zhu Di's order.

"Go, call the commander of Jin Yiwei."

"Here"

Soon, a handsome and heroic man came to Zhu Di, knelt and said, "Commander Jin Yiwei, Ji Gang sees His Majesty."

Zhu Di nodded, asked Ji Gang to get up, and then said: "I intend to go out of the palace to get to know the Li people in the capital, would you like to go with me?"

"I wish to protect His Majesty well." Ji Gang replied immediately.

Zhu Di immediately said: "Okay, wait for me to change into casual clothes, and let someone inform Wei Zi, waiting for me outside the palace."

"Here!" Ji Gang immediately went out to make arrangements.

Zhu Di suddenly left the palace, ostensibly for a private visit incognito, but he wanted to secretly hear what the people said about him.

He cared very much, he cared about other people's opinions, he always felt that those people thought he had taken the throne from his nephew.

However, who knew that before that, his desire to be an emperor had gradually faded away, and it was Zhu Yunqi who forced him step by step, which made him embark on the most difficult road in desperation.

Outside the palace city, Zhu Di led a few people on the streets of the capital.

The eunuch Wei Zi was already waiting in a teahouse.

When he saw Zhu Di and Ji Gang approaching, he immediately greeted them and whispered, "Your Majesty"

"Hey, Wei Zi, call me Master." Zhu Di waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Yes, master." Wei Zi came to Zhu Di's side and whispered: "Master, this old slave has already ordered someone to send more people. I think that person will be found soon."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, then pointed to the front, "Let's go, go ahead and have a look."

There are many shops on both sides of the main street in the capital, the pedestrians on the street are bustling, and the shouts of hawkers can be heard from time to time, it seems that there is a scene of a stable life.

However, these scenes were not seen half a year ago.

Zhu Di looked at the people around him and felt quite satisfied. They were finally no longer suffering from the conflicts of the war.

A bustling city and half a city full of smoke, how many people in the world are drunk.

Even in Zhu Di's dreams, he wanted to see the scene of his prosperous life with his own eyes.

Not long after leaving, Zhu Di saw a lot of people coming and going from a teahouse in front of him. He was a little curious and asked Wei Zi: "Did something happen in front?"

"Old slave, go and have a look."

After Wei Zi finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward to observe.

After a while, he came back.

"Go back to Master, opera is being sung in the teahouse ahead." Wei Zi answered one by one what he saw.

"Oh? Opera."

Zhu Di thought about it for a while, and he hadn't listened to opera for nearly two years since he went on the expedition himself.

So he said: "Ji Gang, Wei Zi, let's go and listen."

"Here." Ji Gang immediately signaled the Jin Yiwei behind him to act, and placed himself among the crowd in the teahouse in advance.

"Dear readers! The opera sung by Ruyilou today is "Zhang Xie Zhuangyuan". I hope you will appreciate it!"

After Zhu Di and others walked in, a waiter in plain clothes knocked a gong on the stage, and he explained from above.

""Zhang Xie Zhuangyuan"?" Zhu Di frowned slightly, "That's right, I haven't heard it for a long time."

Therefore, Wei Zi immediately spent money to buy the best viewing position, and asked Zhu Di to sit down and listen carefully.

"Let's say that Zhang Xie, a scholar, went to the exam and met a thief. He was rescued by a poor girl, and they got married. Humble and humble, with a poor family, and refused to recognize each other, he slashed the poor girl with a sword on the way to his post, and the poor girl was adopted by Wang Deyong as a righteous daughter, and finally reunited"

After the narration in the background was finished, a man dressed as a down-and-out scholar walked on the stage. He held the test book in his right hand, and his emotion of continuing to learn from the saints was suddenly revealed.
