He doesn't even have a daughter-in-law yet. If he is given a wife now, he will treat her the same way as Ning Tong. He even only thinks that Ning Tong is suitable to be his wife.

At least there was no mercy when scolding him.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be able to adapt to that way of getting along.

…

…

Cheng Min Government.

Cheng Minzheng painstakingly studied the two pamphlets given to him by Zhang Zhou at home and read a large number of books.

When Wang Hao came to visit his house that day, he followed the old servant of the Cheng family to Cheng Minzheng's study. When he saw that the study was full of messy but vaguely organized books, Wang Hao couldn't help but frown.

"Keqin..." Wang Hao called out.

Cheng Minzheng didn't even hear it. He continued to flip through the books like a bookworm, muttering: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

The old servant said: "Sister Wang, please forgive me, but my master won't let him touch these books. Why don't you find a place and sit down first?"

Wang Hao probably understood that even if Cheng Minzheng's study was messy, at least the books on the floor were classified by Cheng Minzheng and placed according to certain rules, making it easier for Cheng Minzheng to check them at any time.

When the old servant left, Wang Hao specifically stated that there was no need to serve tea.

He was sitting on a chair nearby.

"Jizhi, I'm sorry for not greeting you well!"

Cheng Minzheng said something without raising his head.

This made Wang Hao know that Cheng Minzheng had actually noticed his arrival for a long time, but Cheng Minzheng was busy checking books and had no time to pay attention to him.

Wang Hao said: "Brother Keqin, do you need my help?"

"No, I'm fine with just these few books." Cheng Minzheng looked like he was doing everything by himself.

Wang Hao frowned.

Are there only a few books here?

Cheng Minzheng looked through it for a while, and finally seemed to be discouraged. He stood up and walked to Wang Hao. He also sat down and said dejectedly: "It's a pity that we are not in Hanyuan now. I have no right to read the clan records. There are so many people who have compiled "

The reference books prepared for "Hui Dian" cannot be seen either..."

Wang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Keqin, why are you like this?"

Cheng Minzheng then handed Wang Hao the two pamphlets Zhang Zhou had given him.

Wang Hao took it over and read it. After all, he had also compiled the "Da Ming Huidian" and probably knew the value of these two pamphlets.

Cheng Minzheng said: "I feel that the detailed summary of the "Huidian" related to clan affairs by Zhang Shishuo has gone beyond what was summarized in previous classics. As for the rest, what he compiled is all

It's a difficult point. I have studied several issues before but failed to get any results. It turns out that Jiefu knows a lot about this. If he were here..."

Cheng Minzheng couldn't help but think of Yang Tinghe.

In the Hanlin Academy, Yang Tinghe was mainly responsible for compiling the "Daming Huidian". Previously, he was Cheng Minzheng's right-hand man in compiling the book.

After Cheng Minzheng left, Yang Tinghe took the lead in most matters. It was precisely because of Yang Tinghe's achievements in compiling books that Liu Jian and others believed that he had the potential to become a Hanlin bachelor. Since the emperor wanted to promote another Hanlin bachelor, why not let Yang Tinghe

As a Hanlin scholar, he was responsible for compiling the "Da Ming Huidian"?

But then we encountered the problem of different candidates for Hanlin scholars being recommended by civil servants and the emperor.

Wang Hao, who was in charge of teaching, took over.

Yang Tinghe went back to his hometown to visit relatives.

Wang Hao asked: "Have you read the complete book compiled by Bingkuan?"

"No." Cheng Minzheng said, "But just by looking at the things he compiled, I know that he has basically finished it, because even if I don't have to study some of them, I know that he is right. Regarding the citation of scriptures, he listed them

In fact, it is very detailed, but where to find some books... that is the problem. Byung Kuan has actually read them... How much talent does he have in his heart?"

"Haha." Wang Hao continued to smile bitterly.

Cheng Minzheng glanced at Wang Hao and said with admiration: "Jizhi, before I thought you were wrong when you chose Jieyuan who has the tendency of an alchemist! But now I feel that the person with the most discerning eye for pearls is

You, Wang Jizhi, are the right ones. No wonder His Majesty appreciates you so much."

Originally, Wang Hao was a little embarrassed when he came.

This happened when the current Hanlin Minister came to see the former Hanlin Minister. Even though Cheng Minzheng's project had nothing to do with him, Wang Hao, Wang Hao still found it difficult to communicate with Cheng Minzheng.

But who knew that Cheng Minzheng didn't mind at all and instead came to praise him for his outstanding vision.

Cheng Minzheng sighed: "Shi Zhang said that as long as I can change the words above, I can give him a generous gift. If I want to change a few words casually, that's fine, but it won't be of much help to the writing. There's nothing I can do."

"Keqin, your talent is unmatched by anyone in the palace. Why do you praise a young scholar like this?"

Wang Hao didn't want to see Cheng Minzheng belittle himself so much.

Cheng Minzheng smiled and said: "You can't accept the old man. I understand what you mean by coming. If you want me to give an evaluation of the "Huidian" compiled by Bingkuan, it is... a comprehensive work. As for who is helping him behind the scenes,

Or if there is someone to help him, I won’t go into it! I won’t have anything to do with the court from now on.”

Wang Hao only regarded this as an excuse for Cheng Minzheng to completely sever ties with the court.

"Jizhi, if you go to see Liu Gelao and Binzhi, remember to tell them not to have too many grudges against Zhang Shituo. He is the hope of the Ming Dynasty in the future." Cheng Minzheng seemed to have high hopes for Zhang Zhou.

Wang Hao shook his head and said: "I'm not mainly here to ask you this. Before you were in Hanyuan, there were a few things that you didn't finish, and I need to talk to you..."

Wang Hao is very knowledgeable.

Even if he clearly wanted to investigate the compilation of Zhang Zhou's "Da Ming Huidian" from Cheng Minzheng, he didn't say clearly.

In a high position, Wang Hao is more dignified than Cheng Minzheng in his work, and his personality is not as flamboyant as Cheng Minzheng.

…

…

Ning Tong sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Zhou, and the person who delivered the letter was Zhu Feng.

He made an appointment with Zhang Zhou on a day when he was out of the city to perform artillery. After entering the city, they met at a teahouse in the city and told him not to take Zhu Feng with him.

"Zhijie, what does this mean?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Zhang Zhou wanted to say, do you want to be a "senior" and pave the way for your ex-wife and "juniors"?

Zhu Feng shook his head: "Miss Ning said that she has something to do with business. She wants to talk to you. She wants to be independent in the future, but she refuses to say how. By the way, Brother Zhang, my father asked me to marry and have children. This matter

You see..."

Zhang Zhou patted Zhu Feng on the shoulder: "Know the rules and work harder!"

There is no need to say any unnecessary words.

Let Zhu Feng realize it slowly by himself.

…

…

In the Hanlin Academy, Xie Qian came to visit and specially called Liang Chu and Wang Hao, who were currently in charge of editing books, to ask for their opinions.

Liang Chu probably told Xie Qian, and Xie Qian found that there was no big difference from what the cabinet knew before, so he let Liang Chu go back to work first.

"how?"

Xie Qian looked at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao said: "Keqin has only seen the two books listed for him by Bingkuan, both of which were difficult problems encountered in the compilation of "Huidian". Keqin searched the books for many days... and thought hard to no avail."

Xie Qian smiled and said: "How can those problems be so easy to solve?"

I was thinking to myself, I thought Zhang Bingkuan was so awesome, but it turns out that when I encounter difficulties, I turn to Cheng Minzheng, the former "Deputy Chief Editor" for help.

Wang Hao shook his head and said: "Yu Qiao, you may have misunderstood. I mean, Bingkuan has actually annotated all these difficult problems. It's just that Keqin looked through the classics and found that there were some things that he couldn't delete. Some... even he couldn't

I went to seek confirmation and said that I had not had the opportunity to go into Hanyuan again and look through the classics that I had prepared for revision."

"ah?"

Xie Qian's arms were numb now.

"What about the whole book? Keqin hasn't read the whole book?" Xie Qian asked.

Wang Hao continued to shake his head: "I have never seen it, but with Keqin's analysis, since Bingkuan can find out the difficulties in the revision of "Huidian" and annotate the revision one by one, there should not be any major omissions in the rest of it. But

As for the specifics, we may have to wait until the original manuscript is sent to the Hanlin Academy, and then send a large number of people to verify it."

Xie Qian waved his hand and said: "If all the original books are sent and the book is completed, it may be a matter of one sentence from His Majesty. If research proves that there are problems, the credit for the revision of the book will be almost entirely attributed to Zhang Bingkuan."

Wang Hao said: "Then Mr. Xie Ge..."

Xie Qian said with a look of sorrow on his face: "I finally understand that Zhang Bingkuan could have completed the book by himself without making a move, but he leaked the book in advance. This was not a bluff, but actually wanted to convince us.

"

"He wants us to go to him and discuss jointly revising the book... to spread the credit thinly... it will not only show that he is capable, but also force us to have to obey him on important matters such as revising the book."

"This guy is very scheming."
Chapter completed!
