"Girl, this is the surprise you want to give grandpa?" Wang Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, frowned tightly, looking at the ghost-like book handed to him by his precious granddaughter.

"Yes, grandpa, this is it!" Wang Caiyi smiled playfully, holding her little head high, looking very proud. From childhood to adulthood, it was rare for her to meet things that she understood but her grandfather didn't understand, and the little girl suddenly found a wonderful feeling of wanting to be a teacher.

"It's like a book, but what is it written on? Can you recognize it? Seeing that her granddaughter was naughty and proud, looking anxiously waiting for others to ask her questions, Wang Qi couldn't help but stroke her beard and chuckled, and asked Wang Caiyi shamelessly, while solving her own doubts, she also satisfied the vanity of her baby granddaughter a little. In front of his own granddaughter, Wang Jue didn't feel that he would lose face.

"Grandpa," the little girl still didn't have the talent to be a teacher, and she returned to normal after a while, she stretched out her hand to put her arm around Wang Qi, and said to Wang Qi in a delicate voice: "It's this Chinese pinyin, which Cai'er found in Brother Erjo's house." Listen to Brother Erjo, this is a wonderful method that the eldest brother came up with in order to teach Xiaohui's sister to read and learn calligraphy, Cai'er knew that her grandfather would like it, so she brought it back to her grandfather. ”

"Hanyu Pinyin? Was it made by Yanagichichi? Wang Jue glanced at the book again, from the matter of "Three Character Classic", Wang Jue could see that Liu Yiyi seemed to have a very good set of teaching children to enlighten literacy, so for the things that flowed out of his hands, Wang Jue naturally attached importance to it, and the look on his face also changed from the beginning of the love to become serious, he reached out and stroked Cai'er's hair, and asked softly: "Cai'er, tell grandpa, how can this 'Hanyu Pinyin' teach others to read and write?" ”

"It's easy!" Knowing that her grandfather would ask her this, Wang Caiyi proudly took out a thin book from her arms and said to her grandfather: "As long as you can learn the dozens of characters on this booklet, you are a child, and you can easily and fluently read the huge works of "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", and "Book of Rites". ”

"Moreover, this is very easy to learn, grandpa," Wang Caiyi handed the booklet to Wang Qi, and then said: "In Brother Mihara Nijo's house, Cai'er only took one day to memorize them all. ”

"Oh, really?" Wang Qi looked at the booklet in his hand, and saw that it was full of strange symbols like drawings, and couldn't help frowning slightly, knowing that Cai'er would not lie, but relying on these alone, can he really make a childish child read the Book of Songs?

Reading and literacy, doing literature, relying on the accumulation and precipitation day after day, there is never a shortcut, yes, for Wang Caiyi's translation, as a senior Confucian, Wang Jue instinctively had doubts.

"Of course!" Seeing that his grandfather was suspicious, Wang Caiyi boasted very angrily: "If you have this kind of 'Chinese spelling' as an aid, you will be a child, and you can also win all the books in the world!" ”

"That's good, then bother our family's Cai'er to tell grandpa, this kind of 'Chinese pinyin', how can a child go to the world's books." Seeing that the baby granddaughter seemed to be sulking, Wang Qi hurriedly laughed and coaxed her: "If you can really do what Cai'er said, grandpa will definitely give you a great credit, and when you get married, grandpa will prepare you a big dowry, how about it?" ”

"Grandpa~!" The little girl's rare little face turned red, and she hugged Wang Qi's arm and shook it gently.

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble," Wang Qi chuckled and said to his granddaughter: "Grandpa is sincerely asking you for advice now, you can tell grandpa now, what is going on with this 'Hanyu Pinyin'?" Let Grandpa also have a plan in his heart earlier. ”

Although I feel that Wang Caiyi's words are a bit exaggerated and contain a lot of water, but what can make Wang Qi's granddaughter praise like this must also have its extraordinary, and Wang Qi also wants to understand it as soon as possible.

"Well," Wang Caiyi raised his head lightly when he heard the words, and the red on his face had receded slightly, but now next to his white and red face, it was even more delicate and good-looking.

"Grandpa, look at this character 'a', its pronunciation is 'ah~', and this 'b', its pronunciation is 'platinum', and..."

After a cup of tea, Wang Jue finally put away the contempt and disbelief on his face.

After the time of a pillar of incense passed, Wang Jue's breathing began to increase a little.

One hour and two hours have passed, and the look on Wang Jue's face has completely become solemn and shocked, and at the same time, there are also monstrous surprises in it.

Yanagichichi is a genius!

After his granddaughter explained to him the pronunciation and usefulness of 'Hanyu Pinyin', Wang Qi couldn't help but praise again. In addition to the last "Three Character Classic", Liu Yiyi brought him a big surprise.

As a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, and as a famous scholar and Confucian scholar in the world, Wang Qi can see the potential and great role of this 'Hanyu Pinyin' more thoroughly than anyone else.

Although it is only an auxiliary tool, although it cannot really replace the use of square characters, its appearance will undoubtedly cause a considerable impact on the entire Chinese power, which has been handed down for thousands of years. Of course, this kind of impact should be what any literati wants to see.

"I'm going to the palace!" The little old man's face was flushed, and his chest was also panting heavily, and after explaining to Wang Caiyi, he actually held two books, trotted all the way, and went out of the door of the study, which shocked Wang Caiyi, the little girl, and was stunned for a while. Since she was a child, how has she ever seen her grandfather so excited and a little out of shape?

"Cai'er, what's wrong with your grandfather?" As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Wang Chongji saw his father happily go out of the study, and he didn't even stop to reply to his old man's salute, what is going on? Just when he was puzzled, seeing his daughter also walk out of the study, Wang Chongji couldn't help but ask her.

"Dad, I don't know very well, after Grandpa listened to the 'Hanyu Pinyin', I don't know what came to mind, and it became like this all of a sudden." Wang Caiyi was also puzzled, and she was also frightened by Wang Qi's expression and actions just now.

It's just a way to help learn Chinese characters, will grandpa be excited like this?

"'Hanyu Pinyin'? What is that? The first time he heard this word, Wang Chongji was also stunned, a little confused.

"'Hanyu Pinyin' is..."

An hour later, Wang Chongji's expression became the same as that of his father Wang Qi's old man, his face was flushed and his expression was agitated, the only difference was that he was just wandering around the study, and he was not clamoring to go to the palace.

"This Liu Ichichi is really a genius!"

After Wang Jue, Wang Chongji couldn't help but admire, and at the same time, he also understood why their old man was so excited, Liu Yiyi's 'Hanyu Pinyin' is a pioneering achievement, and it is a very great kind.

"Grandpa said the same thing just now, the first brother is indeed a genius, but my second brother is also good!" Wang Caiyi also said to her father with a little pride: "I heard Brother Ertiao say that he is ninety percent sure of this year's imperial examination re-examination." ”

"Well, that's right, at Nijo's current age, it's not bad to be able to achieve such an achievement." Although the two things of 'Hanyu Pinyin' and the re-examination of the imperial examination are fundamentally two different concepts, in order to make his daughter happy, Wang Chongji still said it indifferently.

Of course, this is not perfunctory, according to Liu Erjo's current age, if he really passes the re-examination and enters the Jinshi, it is indeed a very enviable thing. After all, back then, when he and the third child of their family won the Zhongjin Shi, they were all over the age of the weak crown, which was a little worse than the current Liu Ertiao.

"Of course! My third uncle also said this about Brother Nijo! Hearing her father's praise, Wang Caiyi once again raised her cute little head.

......

"Xuancheng, come on, come and sit down beside me!" Li Shimin raised his hand and beckoned Wei Zheng to sit down next to him, and without beating around the bush with him, he asked him directly: "For the re-examination of the Ministry of Officials this year, I plan to let Xuan Cheng you be responsible for supervising and selecting materials for the country, I don't know if Xuan Cheng is sure in his heart?" ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the re-examination should be virtuous, and only the talent will live, and Weichen has a plan in his heart, and he will not disappoint the emperor's high expectations." Wei Zheng bowed his head, his tone was calm but firm.

"Hehe, I won't worry about Xuancheng's work, but when preparing for the retest, if there are any difficulties and ideas, Xuancheng can speak directly to me. Also, Xuan Cheng also has to pay more attention to his body, in the past two years, you have become older and older. Li Shimin raised his hand and ordered the chamberlain to sit down for Wei Zheng

After a cup of hot tea, Wen smiled and said to the old and stubborn old man in front of him.

"Emperor Lao is worried, Weichen is only sixty years old, compared to Lord Wang Qi and General Li Jing, he is still young, and he can share his worries for the emperor again!" Being cared for and condoled by the emperor like this, Wei Zheng was inexplicably grateful in his heart, and when he spoke, he also had a little more joke.

"Your Majesty! The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wang Jue, Lord Wang asks to see you outside the palace! said that there was something important to report to the emperor! As soon as Wei Zheng's words fell, Li Ran, the chief attendant, came in and reported softly.

"Oh, hehe, I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here," Li Shimin and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, couldn't help laughing at the same time, and waved his hand at Li Ran, who was a little uncomfortable, and ordered: "Okay, go and invite Lord Wang here." ”

After a while, Wang Qi walked in quickly with Li Ran, seeing this old man's excited face and his demeanor, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were both stunned, worried that his old arms and legs would accidentally fall, and at the same time, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, this old man is still the one who acted calmly and modestly in the past, and did not panic when encountering problems?

"Weichen Wang Jue, meet the emperor!" Respectfully saluting Li Shimin, Wang Jue straightened up, and nodded slightly at Wei Zheng on the side.

"Well, Wang Aiqing, please take a seat." Li Shimin casually stretched out his hand to invite Wang Jue to take a seat, then glanced at the old man, and asked softly: "Seeing Wang Aiqing's face is happy and excited, but what happy event has she encountered?" ”

Wang Jue arched his hand at Wei Zheng, and then sat down beside Wei Zheng, and when he heard Li Shimin asking him, he bowed down to Li Shimin and replied: "Back to the emperor, it is indeed as the emperor said, just now, in Weichen's mansion, Weichen encountered a great joy that is enough to grace all generations. ”

"Oh?" When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but sit up straight, and asked Wang Qi with a straight face: "The surprise of grace for eternity?" I don't know what Wang Qing said? ”

Wei Zheng also looked at Wang Jue strangely, he knew that Wang Jue had always acted rigorously, and Xiang Buyan had no words, and now seeing that this old man was so excited, he also wanted to know what the reason was.

"Weichen has two books here, please take a look at the emperor!" Wang Jue stretched out his hand into his arms, handed the two pinyin books he brought from the house to the attendant on the side, and reported softly to Li Shimin: "This is the happy event that Weichen said!" ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin took the book, glanced at Wang Jue, and then opened the booklet in confidence, and when he saw the letter characters on the book, he couldn't help but get confused, I don't know what Wang Qi meant by showing him these things?

Seeing that Wei Zheng was looking at him with blank eyes, Li Shimin pushed the book and handed it to him with the waiter, so that Wei Zheng could also see it.

"This?" Wei Zheng's two small eyes also narrowed, and he chanted softly: "This font doesn't look like a thing from my Middle Earth, I don't know what Lord Wang means by taking this out here?" Where does this joy come from? ”

"Huh? Does Lord Wei recognize the characters on this? Seeing that Li Shimin and Wei Zheng didn't have too many surprised looks, Wang Qi himself was also confused, could it be that the emperor already knew about it before this?

"This is the text of the Nestorian priest Aroben and their country," Seeing Wang Qi's puzzled expression, Li Shimin opened his mouth to explain to him. After Jingjiao was introduced into the Tang Dynasty in the ninth year of Zhenguan, after four years, it has formed a large scale in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many people who know it, but Li Shimin knows that Wang Jue has never believed in gods and Buddhas, and it is normal that he has not read the classics in this regard.

It's just that he doesn't understand, why Wang Jue is so happy and abnormal when he sees these words, and even runs to the palace to report to him?
