The next day, in the inner hall of the palace, an enlarged meeting was held.

There are a lot of people summoned this time, like some officials who usually don't need to go to the court, and they have all been invited today.

Kong Yingda, Yao Silian, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Xiao Yu, who was ousted as prime minister, as well as Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu and other literati were all invited.

Seeing this scene, except for those generals who love to ignore them, those who should be in a daze, and those who should be napping.

Those scholars all realized that this time, they were afraid that the emperor would not know what books to compile again, or to build a literature museum.

Otherwise, there would be no need for so many literati.

Sure enough, after discussing political affairs, Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "Recently, King Liang has developed a set of Chinese pinyin, which has only 26 characters in total. You only need to learn the pronunciation and rules of these 26 characters to mark the pronunciation of all Chinese characters. ”

"So, I plan to compile a dictionary of the Tang Dynasty. After the compilation is completed, the reader can find the correct pronunciation of the word by looking up the dictionary when he encounters a word he does not know. At the same time, King Liang also invented punctuation, and after punctuation, those students no longer had the trouble of breaking sentences. ”

However, this compilation is a huge and heavy workload, and it requires a lot of manpower. I wonder if there is that Aiqing who is willing to work tirelessly to participate in the compilation work? ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, there was a bang, and the entire court began to boil.

Well, the boiling is mainly on the literati's side.

Like the generals, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chigong, Li Daozong and others quietly leaned against the pillar and yawned.

They simply couldn't understand why those literati were as excited as they were to be beaten.

Those people, I'm afraid they're full, right?

Well, they really don't understand.

But for the literati, they know too well what a privilege this Tang dictionary will be once it comes out!

A complete set of Chinese pinyin can perfectly solve the pronunciation problem of words.

This is a precedent and a milestone feat in the history of literature!

Whoever participated in the compilation of the dictionary will be famous for all ages.

And the chief compiler is even more to be remembered for future generations!

The literati have the same name!

Not to mention Confucians like Kong Yingda, even famous names such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are ready to move.

Of course, they also know that they have a heavy government and it is impossible for them to participate in the compilation, so they can only regret to miss this opportunity.

Kong Yingda took the lead and took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, the old minister is not talented, he is willing to take the post of chief compiler, and the old minister is willing to work hard and painstakingly, and he will definitely compile the Tang Dynasty dictionary." ”

Yao Silian was also unwilling, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is also willing to take on this important responsibility!" ”

Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Xiao Yu and others all stood up unwillingly.

Such a grand event, but as long as they are literati, how can they miss it?

In the end, Li Shimin appointed Kong Yingda as the chief editor, and the deputy editors were Yu Shinan, Yao Silian, Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, and Zhang Xuansu.

It is estimated that a team of several hundred people will be needed for the rest of the compilation, urging, and compilation.

However, these people can be left to the chief editor and the deputy editor to complete it.

When the court was decided, everyone was happy and discussed when to start work.

However, at this time, Kong Yingda thought of a question and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know if these twenty-six letters are still pronounced and spelled, when will the emperor teach us?" ”
