I am the king of the dead

In the eighth year of Yongle, there were only four volumes of this simple health formula, but now there are as many as twelve volumes, all of which are common words and sayings.

"Master, Liu Ji is here." The concierge reported that there had been many speculations in the court whether Liu Ji and Hu Wei were disciples or not, but Liu Ji had never visited Hu Wei in private.

As soon as Hu Yan got the Qigong card, Liu Ji came.

Liu Ji bowed his head at the entrance and said: "I have met Hu Shangshu, congratulations to Hu Shangshu for receiving the award."

Hu Yan smiled and said, "Sit."

Liu Ji is also an immoral person, and the two of them are like-minded.

Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and said: "Hu Shangshu, the Imperial Academy recently wanted to edit a book, let Hu Shangshu show it to us, whether this thing is useful to our Ming Dynasty."

He came to find Hu Wei on business, so he took out a book and put it in front of the case.

Hu Wei picked it up and looked at it for a while and said: "Your Majesty named it Jing'an Province, and the title of your book, the two capitals and 13 provinces, is not right."

"It should be two capitals and 14 provinces."

Liu Ji suddenly realized, and said with some helplessness: "Your Majesty has great ambitions, and I'm afraid that the Universal Annals will have to be repaired before it is completed, alas."

The title of the book Liu Ji wanted to edit was "Huanyu Tongzhi", a 120-volume map of the world in a tome with over a million words.

County names, mountains and rivers, Xingsheng, customs, local products, cities and other things are marked.

Compiling the Geography General Chronicle is a major achievement of the imperial court, allowing the emperor to know in his heart what is on his one-acre three-point land, how far it is, how many official posts there are, and how many prefectures and counties are in the world. How many capitals are there, and where are the soldiers, horses and food roads in the world.

Li Tai, the son of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, spent four years compiling Kuodizhi, and as a result of this, he joined the ranks of imperial power struggles.

Hu Yan couldn't help thinking of an old event, and said with a smile: "In the 16th year of Yongle, Hu and Xia Zhongjing were ordered to compile the "Records of Counties and Counties in the World". The final book has not been completed, and it has been more than 30 years."

"You come with me."

Hu Wei stood up, walked out of the study, came to the backyard, and opened a small attic in the backyard, surrounded by sulfur and lime.

Hu Wei opened the small attic, which has three floors.

He rummaged for a long time, and stood in front of a big box. After opening it, he said, "Just ask the Hanlin Academy to take the time to remove all the four boxes here. They are all left over from the time when the "Records of Counties and Counties in the World" were compiled." gone."

"Although time has passed, there are still some uses."

Hu Yi looked at the unfinished old books in the box and sighed, shouldn't he be doing geography?That must be what it should be, but why hasn't this book been made?

Because of the nature of the chief secretary of Jiaozhi, I don’t know how long they have been arguing about it. How should the county annals be revised in this world?

Cochin Sansi has 150 prefectures, five prefectures, and [-] counties under its jurisdiction, eleven guards, and three institutes.

Why did you give up the Cochin Sansi in the third year of Xuande?There are different opinions here.

For example, Yongle moved the capital in 19 years, which led to a rapid increase in the cost of ruling in Jiaozhi, but can Sichuan and Tibet be farther away?No matter how far away, is there a slave who is the capital of Siyuan?

For example, the threat from the north is far greater than that from the south, which has doubled the military pressure. We can only send our troops to the north and give up the Third Cochin Division.

But to this day, Daming still set up eight major propaganda divisions in Luchuan and other places. Even though Luchuan kept repeating, Daming still never gave up the garrison.

The furthest ones are Demasa and Dagura Xuanweisi on the western coast, and there are still Ming garrisons.

For example, Ma Qi, a middle-ranking eunuch sent to Jiaozhi by the Ming Dynasty, expropriated and abused Jiaozhi, which caused the situation in Jiaozhi to be extremely corrupt. The local people rebelled continuously.

But after Daming withdrew, Li Li’s rule was also unpopular. The local people revolted several times, and some people in Daming seemed to be extorting tyranny in Jiaozhi, and the people were in dire straits. There is not a lot of sorghum.

These reasons are all reasons, and they are upright.

But in Hu Wei's view, it was just the prelude to the prosperity of Wen and Wu.

Who is Zheng Annan?

British Duke Zhang Fu, as the head of the ministers, as long as Jiaozhi Sansi is still there, some people will have trouble sleeping and eating.

The Third Cochin Division was abandoned, and the military exploits of the British Duke had all been turned into duckweed in the water.

Hu Mei patted the old boxes. There was not much dust on them, and he often flipped through them.

"Hu Shangshu, is this Jiaozhi Cultivation Chronicle?" Liu Ji asked with some doubts. The Third Division of Jiaozhi has been abandoned, so should this practice or not?

Hu Yi turned his head and glanced at Liu Ji. Liu Ji was even more immoral than him, but the young Liu Ji lacked experience.

However, Hu Wei had seen the world geomancy map in the lecture hall, and the Jiaozhi Sansi and Jiugang Xuanwei Division on it were still on the Daming map.

But it doesn't matter, Hu Wei asked himself that his body can still hold up, enough to hold an umbrella for Liu Ji until he has experience.

Ten years should be enough.

He turned around and said, "Xiu, let me tell you, you can add to this Universal Chronicle at any time, don't set limits, don't talk so hard, if there is a development, just add two volumes?"

"Be flexible."

Liu Ji hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Thank you Hu Shangshu for your teaching."

Liu Ji looked at the three-story small building and asked curiously: "This floor is full of our Daming's bibliographies, what is the second floor?"

There are a lot of things in this small building, for example, he saw a lot of pictures of the Yongle Grand Canon, what is this second floor?

"The second floor is etiquette, and the third floor is the world's medical books." Hu Yan glanced at the stairs, smiling.

There is no ink in my stomach, how can I be a Minister of Rites for Your Majesty?

Of course Hu Wei knew what Liu Ji wanted to ask, and said with a smile, "If you want to read it, you can come and borrow it anytime."

"Thank you Hu Shangshu!" Liu Ji said in surprise.

Liu Ji is a smart man, and Hu Wei has a good sense of people. He chose Liu Ji by his side, that is, after he left, Daming's decency would continue to be maintained.

Liu Ji left Hu Wei's mansion and went to Wenyuan Pavilion to find Chen Xun.

This time it was Chen Xun who wanted to edit "Huanyu Tongzhi", but Chen Xun couldn't make up his mind a lot, so he had to ask Liu Ji to ask Hu Wei.

This is the time when you have to ask for help after losing your authority.

Doesn't Hu Wei know who is asking questions through the mouth of Liu Ji, a young man?

Of course he knew, but Hu Ming knew everything.

As a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Chen Xun and His Majesty are inseparable, and Chen Xun can no longer make up his mind about many things.

Hearing Liu Ji's description, Chen Xun nodded frequently. He finally knew how to repair "Huan Yu Tong Zhi".

The Ministry of Rites has followed in the footsteps of the Great Emperor. If their Wenyuan Pavilion and Hanlin Academy fall behind, what authority do they have?

clear name?

Can that thing become a seal ribbon? !

The Wenyuan Pavilion and the Dongge University Scholars have always been the prince's young teachers, and the teachers of the Eastern Palace Qiandi are also their people.

But Hu Wei is now the real master of the crown prince!

Your Majesty loves people, and His Majesty has already found out the way out for Hu Yan.

Chen Xun stood up, took the entry form asking for the compilation of the Universal Annals, and came to Tai'an Palace to ask for an audience.

Zhu Qiyu was in the study room when he saw Chen Xun, who was a little nervous. He put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Xueshi Chen, today is the day of rest and bathing on the Tianming Festival. Are you going to teach me the scriptures? It's not a day for the feast of the scriptures." what!"

Chen Xun bowed his head and said, "I am terrified."

Hearing these words, Chen Xun was really aggrieved. From the establishment of Wenyuan Pavilion to the present, when did it become synonymous with lectures?

Chen Xun asked himself that His Majesty had never been left behind in major events such as cutting the title of Emperor Taishang, abolishing the crown prince, killing people in the Taimiao, etc. Although he never supported it, he never opposed it, but after three years, he finally tasted the evil result of swinging from side to side.

In the center of the imperial court, there are only two words of lectures.

Besides, His Majesty didn't like to hear it.In arguing, I can't argue with Hu Wei.

Chen Xungang hurriedly bowed his head and said, "My minister asks for a decree to cultivate the general history of the universe. I want to make it possible for tens of thousands of miles away from the universe to know who I am without going out. I can see it with one glance for thousands of years."

"It's nothing but a broad view for a while, but it will be a grand rule for the ages. This sincere majesty's writings are enough to show the filial piety of following the aspirations and describing things, and to inspire the latter."

"The ministers and other chapters are rotten Confucianism, grass-roots pedantry, and they are commissioned and edited."

"The cars are on the same track, the books are on the same text, and the universe is connected, and it will be passed down forever."

One thing Zhu Qiyu didn't like about Chen Xun was that he was always polite. He looked at it seriously for a long time and said, "Very good, Xueshi Chen, let's fix it."

"How much is it?"

Completing geography is naturally inevitable, and it also gives the future a chance for righteousness since ancient times.

Otherwise, when the time comes to quarrel over national borders, there is no real evidence, how to brag about it?

It is naturally not advisable to open a diary, but it is better to write a book and write a biography of the area that Daming really ruled.

Zhu Qiyu affirmed Chen Xun's idea of ​​compiling geography books, because he put Guanyi and Huding in the book.

The posthouse is an extension of the court power of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Ding is how much wealth Daming owns.

Land is worthless without labor.The only measure of value is labor.

Although Chen Xun was a little behind, he finally knew how the power of the Ming Dynasty would be manifested, and the wealth of the Ming Dynasty should be controlled by the imperial court.

This "Huanyu Tongzhi" should be completed in May of the seventh year of Jingtai. Counting the days, just after the book was completed, the change of taking the door happened.

Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, was not a generous person. In order to prevent Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, from having the reputation of compiling annals and annals, he destroyed all the 110 nine volumes of "Huanyu Tongzhi" that had been repaired.

Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty compiled a book called "The Unification of the Ming Dynasty".

There are 38 volumes in the Yitongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, and there are [-] chapters in total including establishment, history, county names, shapes and customs.

What are the missing 29 volumes?

It's Guanyi, it's Huding.

Later generations studied the post roads of the Ming Dynasty, all of which studied the "Huanyu Tongzhi", because there were no post roads published in the later Ming geography.

Therefore, the "Unification of the World" compiled during the Tianshun period, Zhu Qizhen after the restoration, not only lost the imperial power, but also lost its wealth.

The restoration of Nangong is not as simple as a royal infighting.

Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu had killed Zhu Mingmen directly in the Taimiao.

Chen Xun hurriedly bowed his head and said, "It only takes 29 silver coins for Wen Linlang, the [-]th member, to go out of Beijing, and it will take four years."

Is it more than 10 taels?Not too many, and only 29 people were employed. Wen Linlang went out of Beijing.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "I'll give you another 5 taels."

"Let the Ministry of Household Cleaning Department cooperate with your Wenyuan Pavilion and Hanlin Academy. Although this household is not required to be accurate, it must be determined within a thousand. After the big plan, we must rebuild the yellow book and determine the world's Dingkou."

"Wu Jing, the director of the Imperial Academy, also participated in this matter. The arithmetic of the Imperial Academy is too bad."

Chen Xunchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I would like to obey His Majesty's orders."

Having nothing to do is what Chen Xun is most afraid of. Having nothing to do means losing his authority.

He found some work himself, and according to His Majesty, he took this matter quite seriously.

"Do you want to make aspirations in the four prefectures of the Chief Secretary of Jing'an? But the Hetao area is waiting to be rebuilt, and the four prefectures are just a simple division, and there must be a history in the future." Zhu Qiyu held the watch in his hand and was puzzled. asked.

The Hetao area has just been established, and there will definitely be changes to the area in the future.

Chen Xun bowed his head and said: "It is necessary to add it at any time. Isn't geographical history an inconvenient thing?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized, well, I have learned this sentence.

No wonder Chen Xun wanted to write Guanyi and Huding first, this is because Hu Wei is pointing it out!

Chapter 3 and five

Chen Xun wanted to revise the Tongzhi of the Universe, which can be regarded as making up for some of the regrets of Emperor Yongle back then.

At that time, Zhu Di sent Zhu Neng, the Duke of Cheng, to conquer Annan. Zhu Neng died of illness halfway.

As a result, Mu Sheng became the Duke of Qian State, and Zhang Fu became the Duke of England because of his meritorious service.

However, since the establishment of the Third Cochin Division, some people have loudly opposed it. At that time, it was only five years since Yongle.

The purpose of Zhu Dixie's "Annals of Counties and Counties in the World" was to prevent future generations from abandoning the land, but the book was not completed in the end, and the Jiaozhi Sansi was eventually abandoned.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Xun and said, "We must cultivate well and set up boundaries for future generations, so as to prevent the abandonment of land from happening again."

"There is no rush for the matter of cross-chin cultivation. It will be supplemented when I pacify the Annan Li Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu did not embarrass Chen Xun, but ordered him to repair the Huanyu Tongzhi first. When the Ming Navy was rebuilt, Annan resumed the third division, and it would not be too late to repair it, so it could be left blank for the time being.

Chen Xun bowed his head and led the way.
