Chapter 40 Taizong Chapter 40 The Reign of Yongxi(2/2)

You must know that Shizu ruled the Han Dynasty for a full forty-five years. During such a long and stable period, too many things happened, and there are a vast number of records. Even if there is a "draft" that has been written for decades, it still needs to be recorded.

Compiling it into a book requires a huge amount of time, manpower, and financial resources.

This matter was still managed by Li Fang as the editor-in-chief and controlled the progress, but it had not yet been written into a book at the time of his death.

Liu Yang, of course, paid special attention to the compilation of "Shizu Shilu". In his eyes, Shizu had too many things worth learning. Now, it is no longer possible to teach by words and deeds, so he can only summarize it in the memory of history.

Figured it out.

Therefore, after only a moment of consideration, he ordered: "Make Chai Yuxi, a bachelor of Jixian Palace, the chief editor of "Records", and give him a bachelor of the cabinet and imperial adviser!"

"yes!"

After entering the Yongxi era, the Han Empire truly entered a prosperous cultural era, which was determined by the emperor's likes and dislikes. Although Emperor Shizu respected civil servants and knowledge, he always had a disdainful attitude towards traditional scholars, and often

There are some deviant remarks, actions and policies. Sometimes, people even dare not speak.

In contrast, Liu Yang is much more tolerant. Even though he is also a pragmatist, he can still maintain a decent attitude and at least have a "fair" attitude towards traditional scholars.

This is also the reason why Emperor Yongxi has a better reputation than Emperor Shizu. In addition, stable social order, economic vitality, and clear politics will inevitably bring great cultural prosperity.

Beginning in the third year of Yongxi's reign, another encyclopedia of political history began to be compiled. The aging cabinet scholar Xu Xuan still held on to his old bones and held the title of chief editor.

It is not just policy activities such as compilation of books. In the past few years, some extremely obvious changes can also be seen in Beijing. There are more poems and articles of all kinds, and more literary conferences. What is more important is the content, not just the content.

There are many people who are just romantic, praising the prosperous times, daring to discuss politics, and saying something meaningful. In the era of Shizu, it is difficult to appear. Even if they do exist, they are often obscure, unless they are pragmatic and truth-seeking like Liu Kai and Wang Yucheng.
