"Your Highness, your words with missing arms and legs are also self-contained, thinking that one day, you can lay a foundation. Will this font also be promoted under the rule? Old man Wang asked. Regarding the simplification of words, Li Chengzong has already talked to his followers many times, and I don't know if the old man guessed it, or if he heard the rumors. But none of this mattered, Li Chengzong nodded and admitted.

"This is a big fallacy!" Old man Wang excitedly slapped the short case, but unexpectedly photographed the tea that had been spilled on the table just now, and suddenly splashed.

"Boss Wang, let's talk about it, why can't it be promoted?" Li Chengzong, as a black-bellied man, planned to let Old Man Wang pretend to be thirteen well, and then slap him in the face.

"Your Highness, the former Cangjie wrote books, and the sky rained and the ghosts cried at night......... The ancients entered primary school at the age of eight, so Zhou Guanbao was in charge of raising the son of the country, teaching six books, which are called pictograms, elephants, images, images, sounds, transfers, pretenses, and the foundation of words....... But Your Highness, you made this set of words with missing arms and legs, not to mention whether it can be compared with Cangjie and it's hard to say, even those six books are not very consistent, not to mention that your font has no beauty, you can't see it, love has no heart, the body has no bones, and the turtle has no feet........ According to the old man, hum, what is simplified, the remnant of the word!! "Old man Wang, Li Chengzong has listened to the Great Khan, old man Wang, are you the bay that the island crossed in the later generations?

Old man Wang didn't seem to see the change in Li Chengzong's face, he said to himself: "If Your Highness dares to do this, the ten years of cold windows of the world's scholars have been read in vain, and the Confucian classics have also been read in vain, will they stop?" They will all be your enemies! Not to mention that this scholar is in control of the Qing Discussion, they will not give up with you, even those big families are willing to give up? Your Highness, this can't just rely on a bunch of mud legs, from ancient times to the present, who can rely on the white body to become a climate? ”

Li Chengzong is unwilling, old man Wang, what you said is too much, I must refute you, "Lord Wang, these kings have something to say, let's talk about this foolish people first, hum, what's wrong with opening the people's wisdom, this king has never felt that anyone is more noble than whom?" If it is noble and useful, why change the dynasty? The reason why the people rebelled is not that they can't survive, why can't they survive? Or poor? Why poor? Illiterate! If they are illiterate, they will be enslaved and bullied, and this king told them to read and write, so that the officials under the rule of this king did not dare to deceive their superiors and subordinates........ This foolish tactic is a great mistake in the eyes of this king. "Li Chengzong is so angry in his chest, old man Wang, if you listen to you, it will be a big mistake.

"Besides, this dispute between complexity and simplicity, don't you think that traditional Chinese characters are noble, as for it, this text is just a tool for people to communicate with each other, since it is a tool, it is naturally more concise and concise, isn't it? Besides, do you think that this king knows the origin of our Chinese characters, as far as this king knows, the Chinese characters we use are really traced up, so the Yin Wen on the animal bones and the big seal on the bell; Including gold inscriptions and tadpole inscriptions, they all exist for utensils and bamboo slips. After the Qin Emperor unified the six countries, the book with the text is not a simplification of the big seal after the small seal to get out of the small seal, from the small seal in the development to the official book, this "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" said: "Qin burned the scriptures, cleansed the old classics, made a big pawn, revitalized the military service, the official prison duties are complicated, the beginning is the official book, to the fun of the easy, and the ancient text is therefore extinct', this easy is not simple and simple. Li Chengzong took a sip of tea and continued.

"This king knows that you are good at calligraphy, and your achievements are mostly in traditional characters. Changed to simplified characters, not good-looking, this king does not object, but you say that this king will lose some of the Han culture and Taoism if he simplifies the characters, this king does not agree, we are now using the official book, regular script, line book, are from the ancient old words, all the way simplified. But the Han civilization has not been interrupted because of the simplification of the road, right? As a generation of calligraphy giants, your old man didn't hold an axe and chisel to carve a monument with his own hands, but who dares to say that you are uneducated? So if someone tells me that Zhong Xuan's official book, Wang Xizhi's book and your old man's regular script have all been simplified, and there is no culture, this king will not be able to agree.

Boss, our Han culture has been able to flourish for thousands of years, not by holding Yin Wen, Da Seal, Xiao Seal, and Shigu Wen all the way down. Culture is to be inherited, and the simpler it is, the more convenient it is to write and remember, and the more convenient it is to inherit it, isn't it? There are so many Han Chinese, and Chinese characters, even if there is only one less stroke per character, maybe there will be more literate people. You must know that there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters, but there are only a few thousand commonly used characters. Zhuangzi is knowledgeable enough, but he also said that the speaker cares so much, and he forgets to speak. As long as this culture is passed on, it is okay to forget the specific words. So why are you still stuck to a zigzag? Therefore, simplifying the font has been doing this for thousands of years in Chinese history. The ancients did it, why can't this king do it? ”

"Your Highness, King Ji asks to see you!" Just as Li Chengzong was accompanying Yang Rong and Liu Tao's wives to dinner, the guards outside the door came in to report to Li Chengzong. What is Wang Ji going to do this old man, Li Chengzong met with the former Sui officials, saw him, and also knew that this old man was the younger brother of the Sui Dynasty educator Wang Tong (No. Wen Zhongzi), a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, and also knew that he was filial piety at the end of the Sui Dynasty. also gave him a noble official to do, and now this old man wants to see what he does?

Oh, I think about it, this old man is a diehard Confucian, maybe he is here to pick his own thorns, Li Chengzong thought about it, and said to the guard: "Hu Sihai, let Lord Wang come in, just say that he happens to have dinner with this king....."

Hu Sihai sighed, and went out to inform Wang Ji, after a while, a dry old man walked in, he saw that the King of Han and the two princesses had stopped eating, stood up to greet him, the old man was excited, what a great grace this is, and this Han King is such a strange family, he and Princess Jurong are two generations of royal family combined husband and wife, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a noble Tianhuang, but this Han Wangfu is too small, and there are not many palace maids, and the eunuchs are even extinct, and then look at their family of three, it is not a big fish and meat, The old man was thinking about how much the people supported Li Chengzong when he visited the Han Kingdom, Emma, this is simply the rebirth of King Wen.

The old man hurriedly saluted Li Chengzong and his wife, "I've seen His Royal Highness and two princesses!" Li Chengzong said magnanimously: "Mr. Wang, this is a private residence, not a Donghua hall for deliberations, there is no need to be so formal......"

"Your Royal Highness, the etiquette cannot be abolished, you are the king of Han, the king of a country, how can this minister not be polite?" Although the old man Wang is pedantic, Li Chengzong also thinks that this old man also has merits, that is, the old man has a rare literati style. But this ritual? Li Chengzong doesn't like it, with this set of etiquette, it is impossible for Li Chengzong to jump out of the feudal circle and play capitalism and imperialism.

"Alright, alright, Master Wang, tell me what you are looking for me?" Li Chengzong also felt that it was good to get straight to the point.

"Your Royal Highness, you are a noble born, and you are a British lord with great ambitions and great revenge, and the huge land of Qilu is also well organized by you, but after the old minister traveled around the two states of Qinglai under your rule, some words are really unpleasant........ Wang Ji looked at Li Chengzong and then said,

"Huh? Am I doing something wrong, please correct the boss, rest assured, I will not punish the crime for my words......" Although Li Chengzong is not very big-minded, he also knows the truth that if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark.

"Then, the old minister can just say that the old minister wants to say the wrong thing about His Royal Highness, and the first wrong thing is to teach those Qianshou to read and break words, or the kind of words that lack arms and legs!" The old man's mouth is poisonous enough.

Li Chengzong was stunned when he heard this, and thought that something was wrong, but he didn't expect him to say this thing. At the beginning, Li Chengzong happened to meet Su Lie Su Dingfang, and then gathered the displaced people, when he took out the simplified characters and Chinese pinyin, no one objected, oh, he now understands that his feelings, including Lao Su, are illiterate.

Seeing Li Chengzong's stunned appearance, the old man seemed to be very proud, and said triumphantly: "Your Highness, about this, the old minister has also heard that you were suffering from the lack of literate people around you, so you want everyone to be literate, this original intention is good, but you are doing the wrong thing!" ”

Li Chengzong decided to be patient and continued to listen to him, to see what the old man could say.

Lao Tzu once said: Those who are good in ancient times are not enlightened people, but will be foolish. The people are difficult to govern, and they are wise. At this time, the old man closed his eyes, shook his head and recited the words of the sage, "Sage Kong also said: With the wisdom of a sage, the heart is empty, the belly is solid, the wisdom is weak, and the bones are strong, and the people are often ignorant and desireless." ”

After moving Lao Tzu and Confucius out, the old man's eyes opened suddenly, and he seemed to be shining, staring at Li Chengzong and continuing: "Your Highness only cares about the result when doing things, but does not follow the words of the sage, this is a big mistake!" ”

Hearing this, Li Chengzong sneered in his heart, old man Wang, do you still think that I am really the original Li Chengzong? Lao Tzu knows a lot more about the harm of this foolish policy than you guys, if the same regime and a court regard the subjects as grass mustard, and the subjects regard them as Kou Yun and fool the people, it will inevitably end up with evil consequences. If he is a normal ruler, it is not difficult to be both fearful and virtuous, but it is nothing more than cost, efficiency and other considerations, and he will not lack virtue to treat his people and laborers as only talking tools.

This is still the first one, but what about the second one? Li Chengzong really wanted to know what Old Man Wang could say?

Old man Wang continued tremblingly: "It's no longer time to open up the people's wisdom, but you still teach them the words missing arms and legs!" The old man knows that His Highness's simplified word can be self-contained, but His Highness knows that because of this, you will be in a big disaster if you do this, and you will miss the Supreme Dragon Chair from now on. ”

How does this old man know how to simplify the word, it's funny, after he was rescued by Li Chengzong from Yu Wenhua and his hands, he followed him to Qindao Mansion, and after coming, he found that Qindao Mansion was a big construction site, the old man went with curiosity to see what kind of project this Han Kingdom was doing, wasn't he afraid of making people angry like the Majesty who had just died, and when he got closer, he found that although there was a supervisor on the construction site, the supervisor was also rotating to participate in labor, And those people are not as angry and helpless as when they were forced to build the canal in the previous dynasty, on the contrary, the enthusiasm of these people is quite high, the old man is curious, and it is just his time to catch up with the Jinyi guard who supervised the work to give cultural lessons to those people while he is resting. When he got a dictionary of simplified and traditional Chinese characters, and asked whether the people who taught the class were from Jinyiwei, and knew what kind of institution Jinyiwei was, the literati temper of the old man Wang had a temper, His Royal Highness the King of Han This is to be from the peerless class, this is not good, I have to persuade, this is why we have today's dialogue.

According to Old Man Wang's prediction, at this time, the young His Royal Highness the King of Han should be shocked, and then immediately bow to him, saying something like "Mr. taught me". But when I saw the King of Han opposite, there was no panic at all, and the old man Wang was depressed, does this King Han really not understand, or is he stupid and bold?
