When he saw Zhang Tengxiao again, Xu He was completely stunned.
Is this still the literary and elegant number one scholar in the British royal family?
Among the piles of memorials and papers, Zhang Tengxiao was immersed in writing and drawing without paying any attention to Xu He's arrival.
Xu He called out "Zhang Shisao" twice, and Zhang Tengxiao raised his head from the pile of papers and looked at Xu He blankly.
It took a long time before Zhang Tengxiao came to his senses, stood up and apologized repeatedly: "Brother Liangsheng, I'm really sorry. My mind was full of things in the record, and it took me a long time to come around."
Seeing this old man, Xu He believed in the mathematician. He was reading a book while walking on the road and was fascinated by the story of hitting a telephone pole.
This is too focused.
However, Xu He's first impression of Zhang Tengxiao was very good.
This kind of person who concentrates on doing things doesn't think too much and is easier to get along with.
Zhang Tengxiao said: "Liangsheng, my nickname is Changzhi, you can just call me by my nickname from now on!"
As he spoke, he walked out of his seat and came to a table not far away, taking away all the papers he put on it.
Because there were too many, a bunch of memorials slipped out when he was taking them away, and Zhang Tengxiao was in a hurry.
Seeing this, Xu He quickly knelt down to help him pick it up.
Zhang Tengxiao said gratefully: "This is your place, Liangsheng. I'm really sorry. I have too many things and I haven't had time to pack them away."
Xu He smiled and said: "Brother Changzhi, there are so many things, why don't we ask the clerk to go out and buy a shelf to put them in? Wouldn't it be more convenient to access them?"
Zhang Tengxiao looked confused: "Liangsheng, this, this, forget it, just put it on the case, there is no need to trouble others!"
When Xu He heard this, he thought for a moment and didn't say anything. Instead, he helped Zhang Tengxiao organize it.
After doing all this, Zhang Tengxiao looked at the neatly arranged desktop and felt extremely comfortable: "Liangsheng, thank you so much for today! By the way, do you have time now?"
"Brother Changzhi, what advice do you have?"
"If you have time, I'll teach you how to practice the record, how about it!"
Really...
Xu He was a little speechless. His leader had to discuss work arrangements with his subordinates.
This top pick is really roundabout.
Xu He said quickly: "Master Zhang, please give me some advice!"
Seeing Xu He using his official title, Zhang Tengxiao said sheepishly: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."
After saying that, he personally moved a chair and placed it beside his table. He picked up the "Records of Wuzong" he had compiled, pointed to one of the paragraphs and said:
Guichou Shuo in September of the fifth year of Yande
Jiayin made the imperial edict by repeating the sacred teachings, and added supervisors and other officials, including Wuyanghou Guopu, Guang Dafu Zuozhu, assistant minister Qu Xishao Fujin and Jinshen Palace bachelor, Shangshu Liu Qi Shaobao Gu Dingchen, Prince Taibao, and all remaining officials remained as before. , following the imperial edict, the Ministry of Personnel listed the names of various officials serving in the History Museum, so he was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Qian and other four people were all appointed to the Bin Department, Prime Minister Zhang Ziyi and ten other people. They all presided over the class and served as officials. They were each awarded the eighth rank of foreign ministers, and the clerks were awarded according to their qualifications.
Zhang Tengxiao pointed to this long section of personnel arrangements and said: "Lingsheng, the actual records are actually easy to compile. All you need to do is retrieve the files and memorials from the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and then compile them in chronological order."
"Master Zhang..."
"Just call me Changzhi!" Zhang Tengxiao smiled.
Xu He nodded: "Brother Changzhi, there are so many things that happen in the court in a year, are they all listed among them?"
Zhang Tengxiao smiled and said: "Of course not. In fact, real records are also a type of history books, which are specially used to record major events that happened during the reign of the late emperor."
"There are also actual records among the people, which are private texts recording the deeds of ancestors."
"The royal records are, in the final analysis, a chronicle of the political affairs of the late emperor's dynasty. They describe the politics, military affairs, culture, disasters, etc. of the dynasty according to the year and month, and also insert the biographies of the deceased ministers according to the time!"
Xu He nodded and continued to listen carefully.
"The earliest records, according to the records of Sui Shu·Jing Ji Zhi, are the "Records of Emperor Liang" compiled by Zhou Xingsi of the Liang Kingdom of the Southern Dynasty and the "Records of Emperor Liang" compiled by Xie Hao. Yes, the names are the same, but they were not written by the same person. The former records the affairs of Emperor Wu of Liang, and the latter records the affairs of Emperor Yuan of Liang."
"After the Tang Dynasty, the successor emperors asked historians to compile actual records based on the daily notes, current affairs records, calendars, etc. of the previous emperors, which were passed down from generation to generation and became custom-made."
Xu He already had a general understanding of how to compile records.
But now he has two questions. When Zhang Tengxiao was resting, Xu He said: "Brother Changzhi, I have two questions!"
"Please speak loudly!"
"First, what is a big deal? There must be a standard!"
"Second, when compiling true records, how should we record the things that cannot be said or said?"
These two points are to the point, and Zhang Tengxiao is obviously very satisfied with Xu He's question.
"Liangsheng, the first point you mentioned, my solution is to read through all the memorials of Wu Zongchao!"
Hearing this, Xu He's face was filled with hot sweat.
Read through, what is this concept, and how many memorials does the emperor read every day?
How many memorials are there in total for more than ten years?
No wonder there is a mountain of documents on Zhang Tengxiao's desk. It is estimated that there are so many documents for several days.
At this time, Zhang Tengxiao said embarrassedly: "Let Liangsheng laugh. I am stupid and only know stupid methods. However, this method has an advantage, that is, you know the context of a thing from beginning to end, and until the end." Today, the impact of things. Reading through is sorting out.”
"After reading it, you will know what is important and what is not!"
Xu He heard this and thought deeply.
However, he would definitely not use such a stupid method.
Although it is worthy of recognition to follow the rules, there are good ways to save some time, so why not use it?
Zhang Tengxiao talked about the second point at this time.
"The second point you mentioned, I think it's better to ask Zhang Shidu for more instructions on this matter!"
Xu He nodded when he heard this. Regarding this point, he and Zhang Tengxiao had the same approach.
When describing something, you still have to pay attention to propriety.
After all, this is a true record of the emperor of this dynasty. Hidden for the sake of relatives and venerable ones. Some things are not easy to say too explicit and explicit. Some things are even hard to list.
It seems that our Zhang Zhuangyuan is not a complete nerd.
Thinking of this, he felt that his future life would be quite busy. Who said that the Hanlin Academy was like a cold Yamen.
The state pays you to study and study political science. Where can you get such a good thing?
Zhang Tengxiao thought that the young Xu He would be discouraged after hearing about such boring work.
But when Xu He happily asked him to arrange work, Zhang Tengxiao couldn't be happier.
He pointed to the pile of memorials temporarily placed on the corner of the table and said: "Liangsheng, your task today is to transcribe all the promotions, dismissals, retirements, and deaths of all officials in July of the 16th year of Yande. According to the date, there can be no confusion, and you must check it after copying it!"
Xu He...
The smile gradually solidified...
