Wenyuan Pavilion was originally the royal book collection, here after several changes, the reality of the Hanlin Academy occupies this place, and then the cabinet rises, become the cabinet office, the Hanlin Academy moved away, wait until Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, reform the official position, the status of the cabinet is raised, the civil and military division, in order to reflect this status, the cabinet moved to the Wenhua Palace, and the Wuying Hall where the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is located opposite to stand.

Therefore, the Hanlin Academy returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, after all, it is rich in books, and it is very convenient to check information and everything. At this time, in the Wenyuan Pavilion, several houses were cleaned up, and several tasks were done, including those who compiled the records of the Divine Sect and the Records of the Guangzong, and those who were ordered by him to revise the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and those who renovated the classics and read the sages.

Of course, it is also indispensable to the Chinese Pinyin and Mandarin plan that Zhu Youxiao has been promoting, of course, the Mandarin here is not the Beijing dialect of later generations, but the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

Later generations can be roughly divided into four types according to the Chinese language in various parts of the country, all of which were once dominant Chinese pronunciations, namely North China Mandarin (that is, Beijing dialect, which is now Mandarin, but it will not become the mainstream until the Jurchens live in the Central Plains. ), Southwest Mandarin, Northwest Mandarin and Jianghuai Gongyin.

The official dialect of the Ming Dynasty is similar to the Jianghuai Palace pronunciation of later generations, and Zhu Yuanzhang is the voice of that area, which is the most orthodox ancient Chinese pronunciation method, but Zhu Youxiao tried to promote his Mandarin but it was Chinese Huyin, which was influenced by nomadic Chinese pronunciation.

When this was discovered, Zhu Youxiao immediately stopped the promotion of Mandarin and turned to the Hanlin Academy to formulate Hanyu Pinyin. He abandoned the phonetics of the Latin alphabet that he was familiar with, and instead let them formulate freely.

The entire Wenyuan Pavilion was immersed in the sound of busy flipping books at this time, no one spoke, no one chatted, and they all knew the importance of the work in their hands.

Of course, except for the room where the commentaries on the sentences of the sages are read, there are often quarrels and quarrels over different interpretations, but there have been fewer of them lately, and the arguments are almost the same.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

A sharp eunuch's voice instantly broke the quiet atmosphere of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Ministers." Zhu Youxiao came in, and all the officials of the Hanlin Academy saluted one after another. They are all literary scholars, and most of them have a high and arrogant atmosphere, even if they didn't have it before, they will be contaminated after coming here, so although it is a face-to-face meeting, because it is not a formal occasion, they only bow their hands and do not pay a big salute.

Zhu Youxiao only smiled when he saw it, and didn't take it to heart. He is not so stingy to this extent, not to mention that the relationship between the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty is far from being as clear as in the pigtail play, and kneeling back and forth, there is really this level, and it is only between civil and military.

After looking around for a week, Zhu Youxiao found the person he was looking for, and said to the crowd, "Feng Congwu, don't hide, I have seen you, as well as Liu Zongzhou, Wang Yingjiao, and the two of you too." ”

"Wechen see Your Majesty." The three of them saluted again. After getting up, they looked at the emperor with a little embarrassment and dodging, no way, who told them to criticize the emperor in the newspaper, how could they not hide when they saw the main lord at this time.

"Okay, okay, look at your scare, I'm not here to settle accounts after the autumn, but to inspect the work." Although the three of them did not say it explicitly, Zhu Youxiao still calmed them down and put them at ease.

"How's it going with what I've arranged?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the three of them and asked. They were all university scholars, and they happened to lead the three tasks of pronunciation, sentence reading and commentary, and law decomposition.

Hearing this question, the expressions of the three people were different, Feng Congwu had a happy face, and he looked like this kind of thing was trivial, and it was difficult for me to look; Liu Zongzhou, on the other hand, hesitated, and then looked firm, as if he had made up his mind; As for Wang Yingjiao in the end, he had a difficult face, feeling that the time given to him by the emperor was completely insufficient.

"Your Majesty, this is the Chinese Pinyin we formulated." Feng Congwu took out a booklet as if offering a treasure.

"You're pretty fast!" Zhu Youxiao smiled, took it and took a look, but his expression suddenly became like a ghost.

There is no him, because what is presented in front of him is precisely the Hanyu Pinyin composed of twenty-six Latin letters, and after each pinyin, Feng Congwu also marked the pronunciation with a few Chinese characters.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao really wanted to ask, you have also crossed over, can you ask about the finale of the Hokage. Anyway, he also knew that it was unlikely that this kind of thing would happen again, so he finally held back this desire.

Then, he looked through it carefully, and found that it was different from later generations, although it was all marked in the Latin alphabet, but some pronunciations were inaccurate, and many of them were not.

"Your Majesty, this method is not actually something we came up with, but a person named Matteo Ricci left behind, he once listened to the Chinese language in the capital, and Yichen has also seen his learning method, this time His Majesty said it, and the minister remembered it." Feng Congwu was also sincere, and did not take credit, and told the original story of the matter.

"After taking the book left by Matteo Ricci, I found that this method has been relatively perfected, and it can be used with only minor changes."

After listening to Feng Congwu's story, Zhu Youxiao only felt that the world was so magical, but he didn't expect that after going around in a circle, the standard returned to the original point.

What he didn't know was that in history, Matteo Ricci made a great contribution, and in the large number of works he left behind, a large number of Chinese pronunciations in the Ming Dynasty were recorded in this pinyin way, which let later generations know how much influence the Manchu Tartars had on civilization when they settled in the Central Plains.

It is simply in all aspects, far-reaching, and poisonous for thousands of years.

"Very good, Aiqing sorted out these pronunciations, marked them clearly, and offered them, I will be of great use." Zhu Youxiao is very satisfied, with Hanyu Pinyin, literacy will become easier, especially for the spread of Han culture, which is extremely beneficial, "Feng Congwu has made great contributions to the society and given the status of academician of Hanlin." ”

This is the first Hanlin academician awarded by Zhu Youxiao after the academicians of the two academies, and its rank is equivalent to that of Zhengyipin, which is the highest in the nine ranks.

"Thanksgiving!" Feng Congwu knelt down with a happy face and buckled his head, now that the head of the Hanlin Academy has not yet been decided, now that he has the title of this academician, it is undoubtedly very advantageous when competing for the head of the academy.

"Calm down, Aiqing doing more things is the best reward for me." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile. Feng Congwu's credit is indeed great, but this is not actually made by himself, but directly taken by others, at most he changed it, so that it is in line with the use of the Ming people, from this point of view, this reward is a bit heavy, but Zhu Youxiao doesn't care, he does this, and more importantly, the horse bones of Qianjin City.

The urine of the literati has always been like this, Qian Qianyi can not dare to commit suicide because the water is too cold, and turn his head to serve the master of the Tartars, not to mention abandoning some of his original positions and acting as a royal literati.

Now through the differentiation of the three institutions, the emperor has money and people, and he doesn't need to go through the cabinet to do anything, but he still has faith in the cabinet.

Feng Congwu asked someone to submit his name before, trying to seize some positions, but unfortunately his Donglin Party identity was too heavy, and he was brushed down by the emperor, when he knew that the emperor had this task, the first thing that came to his mind was Matteo Ricci's pinyin learning method, and then, he immediately volunteered to take this task.

Sure enough, the Chinese pinyin left by Matteo Ricci has become his entry level, and now although the official position has not gone up, the rank of this academician's virtual position has gone up, which is also good. At least the status can be on an equal footing with the ministers of the second grade.

"The minister must do his best to share the worries of His Majesty." With another compliment, Feng Congwu got up from the ground.

"Liu Aiqing, I don't know how this sentence is read, how is it going, how is the investigation of the Four Books and Five Classics?" Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Liu Zongzhou again.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of the old minister." Liu Zongzhou was a little sullen and handed over a book. Seeing that the emperor took it, he waited a little restlessly.

Feng Congwu shook his head and sighed with some regret when he saw him like this, obviously, he knew what was written in that book.

Zhu Youxiao looked at it at first, and he was indeed shocked. This book is very feeling, and all kinds of punctuation marks are also in place, and it looks exactly the same as the one bought in later generations, except for a traditional Chinese character and a simplified Chinese character, there is not much difference.

Then, the content of it made him almost out of breath, Nima, what about the re-selection of the annotation? What about interpreting it according to my requirements? There is no one, the whole content, that is, the original version of Zhu Xi's collection of notes, has not changed at all, but it is read with punctuation sentences.

"Liu Zongzhou, this is what you have been doing since this time?" Zhu Youxiao shouted loudly, word by word, as if every word was squeezed out of his teeth.

However, Liu Zongzhou was not afraid, raised his neck, and said stubbornly, "The old minister thinks that this is already very complete, and it is also the most correct, the Ming Imperial Examination has been used for two hundred years, and there are no mistakes or omissions." ”

"Hehe, good, very good!" Zhu Youxiao suppressed his anger, and kept warning himself in his heart that he couldn't get angry, he couldn't get angry, and as soon as he got angry, he let Liu Zongzhou succeed.

"Wang Yingjiao, what about you, don't tell me that the law of Da Ming is also complete, you don't need to change a word, just submit it." Zhu Youxiao staggered his gaze and looked at Wang Yingjiao, who was the last.

"Your Majesty, the Da Ming Law is huge, the content is mixed, and there are all aspects, and it is very difficult to split it." Wang Yingjiao lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor.

"You mean, you haven't done any work at all, and you've been wasted for half a year?" Zhu Youxiao's voice raised an octave, and he looked at the other party with wide eyes.

"No, no, no!" Wang Yingjiao waved his hand again and again, "Weichen still did something, and a part of the criminal law was split from the Daming Law. ”
