Gao Jingshi was just "astonished", which was already a sign of great restraint. At least when Chen Siyu and Chen Zhangyuan saw that Gao Jingshi was just "shocked", he was very impressed because he had heard Pan Sheng talk about this before. They were all shocked when it happened, and even thought they had heard it wrong.
The compilation of history is a major event, and the reconstruction of the Ming Dynasty canon is even more important among major events, especially since everyone knows the saying "compilation of history in prosperous times". For example, the Hongzhi period was considered a prosperous period for the Ming Dynasty, so the compilation of the canon began, and Jiajing In the seventh year and the twenty-fourth year, Emperor Jiajing won the "War of Great Ceremony" and rebuilt the ceremony. This was a manifestation of "the revision of history in the prosperous age".
The Wanli Dynasty compiled the Huidian again this time because Gao Gong reversed the various declines in the late Jiajing years and improved greatly in terms of finance, border defense, and official administration, so there was a call to rebuild the Ming Dynasty Huidian.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the reconstruction of the Ming Dynasty Ceremony not only commemorates the merits of Emperor Longqing and Wanli, but also commemorates the merits of Gao Gong. This is of great political significance at the moment when Gao Dang is in charge of the country. Gao pragmatic privately estimated that allowing himself to participate in this matter and serve as the editor may have also considered his own life experience.
But this cannot explain Pan Sheng's words asking him to take responsibility, because no matter how you look at it, he cannot bear this responsibility.
It doesn't matter whether he is talented or not, the main reason why he cannot bear this responsibility is that his high pragmatic qualifications are not enough and far from enough.
Pan Sheng has just said how grand the compilation of the Ming Dynasty Conference was in Gao Gong's era. Gao Gong personally took charge of Ma Ziqiang, the chief official of the university. Shen Shixing, Shao Zhanshi and a bachelor's degree scholar, and Wang Xijue, a scholar and bachelor of the Zhanshi Mansion, serve as vice presidents. They can be said to be the highest-level civil servants, and all the figures who have something to do with the history of history are all prominently listed.
Who were the editors and editors at that time? There were Chen Jingbang and He Luowen on the left and right, Zhongyun and editors, Xu Guo and Chen Siyu on the right and reviewers, Zhao Zhigao, Tian Yijun, Xu Xianqing, Zhang Wei and Han Shineng. , Yu Shenxing, Zhu Geng, Li N, Sun Jigao, edited by Shen Yuan, Xi Confucius, Fan Qian, Huang Fengxiang, Liu Yao, Sheng Na, Huang Hongxian, Liu Yukui, Liu Yuanzhen, Gong Jiachen, Shi Wei, Yu Menglin, Wang Yingxuan reviewed Liu Kezheng, Liu Chuxian, Wang Zuyi, Zhao Yongxian, etc.
Look at this luxurious configuration, put high pragmatism into it, not to mention that the deputy president and vice president will definitely have nothing to do with him, even among the editors, he will not be ranked.
Although most of the presidents and vice-presidents are actually just in name, and they probably won’t even take a look at the manuscript until the final review, but just looking at the editors, there are so many high-ranking officials and senior qualifications. A small editor like a yang'er can go and take charge among them
I'm afraid that I will be rejected to death by others
So after Gao Jingshi was stunned, he quickly declined politely, "Pan Budang, I am just a newly promoted editor. I first entered Yutang. I have little talent and little knowledge. I don't understand everything. It is right to read more and learn more."
Pan Sheng advised, "Although this matter is a bit difficult to deal with, after all, it is a matter of Gao Wen's justice. With your participation, it is a matter of public and private matters."
Gao Pragmatic was silent.
Seeing that he was still on his way, Chen Siyu didn't take over everything as soon as he heard about it. He thought he was Gao Gong's nephew, so he took this great credit directly on himself. He sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the holy will, how could it be done? With such a good thing for you, the emperor has cleared away all the biggest troubles for you. Even if others want to take advantage of this great achievement, they can only follow you and drink some soup.
He sighed in his heart, and also gave words of advice: "Gao Xiuzhan, to a certain extent, your qualifications in the Hanlin Academy are not shallow, but you have not passed the Zhenqi Examination and been transferred. As for your knowledge, This is convenient, haha, let’s not say that you are the sixth number one scholar, let’s just say that the emperor’s royal pen has personally inscribed the title of “the best for two hundred years, and I wrote the elixir for Wenqu Luoshu.” Just based on this sentence, who can say that your knowledge is shallow?”
Seeing that the commander-in-chief also said the same thing, Gao pragmatically had to take a step back and said, "Since the department and the commander-in-chief have advised me like this, I don't dare to refuse too much, lest I be said to be a corpse. I can agree to be the editor." Xiu Guan, but please don’t bring up the topic of responsibility, please don’t mention it again. Don’t mention it if your virtue is not worthy of the title. If something goes wrong, I will die without redemption.”
Chen Siyu saw that he was still unwilling to take on the important responsibilities. Knowing that the emperor had arranged for him to be in charge, he couldn't help but be a little anxious. Now he wanted to persuade him again, but Pan Sheng said with a smile on the side: "Gao Xiuzhan is careful in his words and deeds. It is known to the headquarters that As you wish, I won't mention the responsibility anymore, but since you agreed to be the editor, you can't be lazy, you have to start work tomorrow."
Chen Siyu glanced at Pan Sheng in surprise and secretly said that this is not what the emperor told him. If you agree like this, how will you deal with the emperor then?
However, Gao Pragmatic had already stood up and bowed his hands to Pan Sheng and Chen Siyu. "The department and the director can rest assured that the official will come to participate in the compilation tomorrow. However, the official is newly involved in this matter. I am afraid that I can only start by checking the allusion copy. Please let the two superiors know."
"That's natural, that's natural." Pan Sheng responded with a smile, and then said to Chen Siyu, "Do you have anything else to ask from the director?"
The meaning of this sentence was obvious, and Chen Siyu could naturally hear it. He smiled and shook his head, and said pragmatically to Gao, "I don't have anything to explain. Gao Xiuzhuan can go back to the Inspection Hall to get familiar with it first."
Gao pragmatically bid farewell to the two Shangguan officials and went to familiarize himself with the environment.
As soon as Gao Pragmatic left, Chen Siyu said to Pan Sheng with a melancholy look, "Uncle Zong, when the emperor summoned the two of us, he made it clear and clear."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Pan Sheng still smiled and said, "The current CEO on this matter is Mr. Guo Ge, and the vice presidents will not get involved before the compilation is completed. There has been such a major adjustment in the editing department. All those who served as officials during the period when Gao Xiuzhan was the Prince's Companion and Guanzheng were transferred out. As soon as Gao Xiuzhan takes office tomorrow, the remaining editing officials will be transferred. None of us still understands the meaning. When the time comes, he will have to shoulder the responsibility regardless of whether he has the word "responsibility"."
"But" Chen Siyu still frowned, "What if someone doesn't see the meaning?"
Pan Sheng's old eyes narrowed slightly, "Although it's unlikely, but since the headmaster said it's just a case, let's just take it as a case. If there really is such a person, I can't help but give some advice."
Chen Siyu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just afraid of having strong points."
Pan Sheng snorted, but said nothing.
Chen Siyu frowned again and said, "Uncle Zong, there may be something wrong here."
"Oh" Pan Sheng frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
"As for being responsible, it's actually just a name. But now Gao Xiuzhan is unwilling to bear this name. Although the colleagues involved in this matter will feel less conflicted, won't it be the case in the future when the emperor wants to reward people based on their merits? Missing a name”
Pan Sheng chuckled, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. In the end, for such a big thing as compiling the ceremony, the Hanlin Academy is the first one to report the merits. The Hanlin Academy is the first to report the merits. In the final analysis, the first one is the one who reports the merits." It’s you who handles it.”
Chen Siyu was startled for a moment, but immediately came to his senses and nodded slightly.
Pan Sheng gave another pointer: "So you see, the emperor's intention is very obvious now, and you have the initiative in this matter. If you seize the opportunity, won't you also have merit and great achievements by then?"
Chen Siyu's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked Pan Sheng, "Thank you for your guidance. I know what to do."
Pan Sheng smiled, stood up, and said, "Okay, I've been here long enough, it's time to go back to the headquarters."
"I respectfully send you off to the ministry hall."
