Song Boyan nodded and said, "I'll ask the teacher later."

Wang Yu also nodded. It was useless for him to think here alone. To do this thing, he needed a reputation. He wanted not only Mr. Lan's, but also Mr. Xie, the Hanlin scholar, who was from the Chen Kang Xie family. There was also Mr. Wei, the chief academician of the Imperial College. He had already published a collection of essays before, so it should be easier to publish another one. The most important thing was that among the three, only Mr. Wei came from a humble family.

Two days later, when the emperor summoned Wang Yu, Wang Yu told the emperor about this matter. If the emperor agreed with him, then at least half of the success would be achieved. He also vaguely mentioned that he hoped the emperor would also tell Mr. Lan about it.

After hearing Wang Yu's request, the emperor thought that this person had a good idea. He knew the benefits of reading more and the difficulties of studying for poor people. Therefore, the Hanlin Academy had been collecting articles and ancient books for printing and publishing, but no one had thought of compiling the articles of existing famous scholars like Wang Yu.

"Xiuzhi's idea is very good. The late emperor also told me that books are the ladder of human progress. He asked me to collect and compile more books."

In fact, the late emperor also asked him to translate and edit more foreign books. Since the opening of maritime trade, the emperor has been training foreign translators.

...Wang Yu complained in his heart that this was not said by the late emperor, but it seemed that the emperor agreed, which made things much easier. Wang Yu was feeling happy when he heard the emperor's words again.

"But you shouldn't go to the teacher. The late emperor asked the teacher to contribute many rare books. He may not give you any more."

...It has been searched. Although his collection of books has been searched, his own manuscripts and articles have not been searched, right? He still has a chance.

Wang Yu was discussing his writing with the Emperor in the palace. Song Boyan was also discussing Wang Yu's request with his teacher. Old Master Lan's forehead twitched as he listened, and he said, "Let him do it himself."

This incident reminded him of how shameless the late emperor had been, having taken away many books from his clan. He had resisted the pressure from his clan and given all the books to the late emperor. Now someone was actually plotting against him? He wanted to see what this person could come up with.
