Chapter 1044 Grand Event

Cai Que also had outstanding literary talent. He already understood most of the oracle bone inscriptions. He stood up, took two steps back, and saluted Zhao Xu respectfully: "If this matter is true, Your Majesty, this is a sign that the great Song Dynasty's literary virtues are inspired by heaven and prosperous.

Sir, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

I sighed secretly in my heart, Su Mingrun, can you do it less and give Lao Cai and me some opportunities to make moves...

By the time Su You returned to Bianjing and entered the palace according to the order, Zhao Xu and a group of ministers had already gathered in the palace.

Su You bowed and saluted Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, I am back."

Zhao Xu was very excited: "You have worked so hard, Shaobao. How have you gained from this trip?"

Su You replied: "I was ordered to inspect Ma Zheng. Wang Huai, the supervisor of Beiyuan, is loyal and diligent in the king's affairs. Now the new ranch has begun to take shape."

"This spring we got 500 colts, 600 calves, 2,000 lambs, 600 acres of elephant grass, 1,000 acres of alfalfa, more than 2,000 acres of beans and wheat, and 2,000 Anasiang troops."

"After my inspection, I found that the new animal husbandry method was successful in Beiyuan Prison and can be promoted in the Northland."

This... we don't want to hear this, okay?!

Just as Wang Gui was about to speak, Su You continued to play: "However, horses cannot be used without training, so I think we can set up a winter field in Xiangzhou."

"Xiangzhou is a hundred miles away from Pudong. I have also gone to inspect it. It is surrounded by five rivers and has rich grass and soil."

"In spring and autumn, war horses can be moved between two places. On weekdays, cavalry can also be trained on how to march. Now that we have solved the big problem of pasture land, then..."

Wang Gui couldn't stand it anymore: "Mingrun, let's talk about this later, first let's talk about... the writing of the Shang Dynasty?"

"Oh." Su You then said: "I paid homage to Duke Han Wei in Xiangzhou, and his son Han Chunyan gave me a piece of ox blade bone with artificial marks such as holes and burns on it."

"I know that there is this custom among the southwestern barbarians, and tribal wizards use it to predict bad luck. I heard that the local indigenous people in Xin Songzhou in the South China Sea also have this method."

"So I think this may be a bone plate used by ancient wizards for sacrifice and divination."

"The most surprising thing is that the characters on it are in the same vein as Chinese bronze inscriptions and large seal scripts. Although I cannot read them all, I also found the characters of heavenly stems, earthly branches, sun and moon, palace, king, etc."

"As for judging the words, they can be roughly divided into three categories: one is to predict the outcome of the war, the other is to pray for good fortune and bad weather, and the third is to pray for the peace of the royal family."

"Remember that Xiangzhou is the place where Pan Geng moved the capital as recorded in "Historical Records", "Spring and Autumn", and "Huainan" and other books, so I infer that this is a statement made by the royal family of the Shang Dynasty."

Zhao Xu was surprised and happy. Su You didn't mention this in the letter. It seemed that he had figured it out through research along the way: "Where are the things?"

Su You held up his hands and said, "He is outside the palace now."

Zhao Xu called to the chamberlain: "Go to the Hanlin Academy and lay down the long case. We, the emperor and the ministers, will watch together."

By the time everyone, who was itching and miserable, arrived at the Hanlin Academy, a long case had already been placed in the courtyard, and the case was even paved with green.

Su You opened a wooden box next to the table, placed a piece of white paper with words in the box on the table, then took out the hay ball inside and opened it, revealing a turtle board inside.

Carefully put the turtle board next to the white paper: "This is one of the pieces. On the white paper are some of the words that I interpreted on the road..."

Zhang Dun couldn't bear it anymore: "Why don't you bother Mingrun all the time? Let's help together?"

It makes sense. The officials immediately swarmed forward, one by one and each of us, to grab a box first.

Wang Gui also grabbed two. When he saw the old god Zhao Xu standing there, he handed one over in a sullen voice: "Your Majesty, this is for you..."

Zhao Xu put his hands behind his back: "Haha, you look first, you look first..."

Mr. Wang, please stop making trouble!

Fortunately, Wang Gui couldn't wait any longer and avoided Zhao Xu's embarrassment. He turned around and immersed himself in text research.

Everyone who plays here is one of a kind. Oh, except Zhao Xu, everyone is an expert in writing.

The peripheral officers were about to burst into tears. They stretched their necks one by one and looked into the pile of surging red and purple official robes.

Feng Jing suddenly raised a piece of tortoise shell: "Ding, I found Tiangan... No, the one in front is Wu! Wu Ding! Your Majesty, this oracle bone has the name of Shang King Wu Ding!"

Cai Jing touched a piece of skull: "It is simple and steep, and the rules are clear. The style of my Chinese characters must be imitated by others. This set of characters has more lively meaning, upright spirit, and natural principles than the seal characters of Qin and Han Dynasties. It is wonderful.

Wonderful..."

It is extremely difficult to fake such a systematic thing.

In terms of calligraphy, knife skills, and literary meaning, they are all older than pre-Qin characters, but they are all in the same vein.

The people in the courtyard were all big experts, and they quickly unanimously agreed - really, these are the palace archives of the Shang Dynasty!

Wang Gui's body was trembling with excitement, and he bowed and saluted Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has been praised by all the people, and the literature and brocade are colorful, and the Yin divination has begun to appear. I am waiting for Mu Yaotian and Shun De, and I can see Shang Ping and Zhou.

Yao, what a blessing!"

"The ancestors worked hard to open up the bushes, eliminate rebellions, and cultivate righteousness and benevolence. They established rituals in the Gang Dynasty and showed literature and art in the wilderness. After a hundred years of enlightenment, the six emperors of Hong Fan have reached today's prosperity."

"This is the reward of the emperor's hundred years of civilization in the Song Dynasty! Hetu and Luoshu are nothing more expensive than this. I, my ministers, congratulate your majesty!"

All the ministers, with Zhao Xu as the center of the circle, stood up and saluted: "O ministers, I would like to congratulate your majesty!"

Zhao Xu was a little stupid. When did I get such a high evaluation? I know these bones are very important, but are they as important as Hetu and Luoshu?

"In the past, those who received orders were dragons and turtles, rivers made pictures, Luo made books, and earth made yellow, but there are no such three auspicious things today." - Wang Gui This puts Zhao Xu in the position of a saint!

Zhao Xu suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Su You, what did you say?"

Only then did everyone remember and found that the person was here!

Su You cupped his hands and said: "I congratulate Your Majesty, but the so-called providence is far away from people. You should be respectful and sincere in your affairs, and there will be no difference between you and me."

"Wang Xianggong got it right, Fuxi got the "River Map", and the Xia people called it "Lianshan", and the Xia Dynasty prospered; Huangdi got the "River Map", and the merchants took it, and called it "Gui Zang", and the Shang Dynasty prospered;

The Shan family obtained the river map, and the people of the Zhou Dynasty followed it and named it "Book of Changes", and the Zhou Dynasty prospered."

"Since it is a divination by the King of Shang, its words must be based on "Gui Zang", and its theory must be preceded by "He Tu", and must be connected to "Lianshan" and start with "Book of Changes"."

""Lianshan" and "Gui Zang" have been lost for a long time, so Confucius sighed "from the Zhou Dynasty". If the oracle bone documents can be seen again, it will consolidate the Huaxia clan and it will be a blessing for all generations."

"This is an important cultural and historical project. I would like to ask the ministers to raise this matter and summon all the experts in history, epigraphy, and calligraphy in the country to collect the old collections of Shangdu, rectify and chronicle them, recommend auspicious texts, translate, proofread, and annotate, so that we can

The history of changes in the Shang Dynasty, restored to today."

"I am dancing for joy, please do as you please."

"No!" Several voices came from the officials.

It was Ouyang Xiu's son Ouyang Fa who was the first to raise objections: "Your Majesty, although Su You is very capable and smart, he has spent many years in government affairs and has been managing people's affairs. I am afraid that his writing skills have long been rusty."

"Without the years of exposure to many classics and texts from Tai Chang and Tai Le, and without the family's origins in epigraphy, how could such a big event be handled?"

"There are many affairs in the country, and Academician Xiao Su has important responsibilities. How about managing writing like this... Why not leave it to the humble ministers?"

The final twist made everyone angry. Someone could recommend him so shamelessly?!

Liu Xun hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty, what Ouyang Fa said is true. However, when Ouyang Wenzhong was in charge of the "History of the Five Dynasties", he did not hear that many people relied on Ouyang Fa's talent."

After saying that, I felt a little proud: "However, being a minister is different. Let's not talk about family studies, let's talk about ourselves. Whether it is Ouyang Wenzhonggong's "History of the Five Dynasties" or Sima Gong's "Tongjian", there are ministers who are ministers.

The meager strength.”

"The "History of the Five Dynasties" is the most complicated and trivial, but Ran Chen's ability to sort out the clues and peel off the cocoons is worthy of His Majesty's trust."

"If your majesty wishes, I will ask you to pass the judge to Xiangzhou to take charge of this matter. If there is no success for three years, I will kill you on the bank of Huan River. I will definitely have no complaints!"

Damn, this one is even more ruthless. Not only will he lose his official position, he will even lose his life!

Everyone came out one after another. We also want to participate in your majesty’s grand event!

For a time, the Hanlin Academy became as busy as a convenience store with all kinds of goods, causing Zhao Xu to have a headache and two adults.

A "Book of Changes" has been listed as "the first of the group of scriptures and the book of teachings". Now there are written materials that are even more ancient than it have been unearthed. For the literati of the Song Dynasty, this is a shocking event.
