Chapter 225: Enkesheng is in trouble
Although the establishment of the academy had not yet been decided, Wang Haoran still took the time to compile primary school textbooks according to the education of later generations, and he also proposed to popularize the units of measurement used in research, if this could not be popularized, then some of the textbooks he compiled would be useless. The imperial court quickly adopted the unit of measurement used in popular research, because they also knew that with the development of society, all kinds of data needed to be expressed more precisely, and the previous unit of measurement was too general.
Wang Haoran also proposed to explicitly stipulate a unified language of communication, as for which language to choose, Wang Haoran proposed to choose the Chang'an language, after all, this language is the most used in official communication. Wang Haoran originally wanted the court to choose which language to choose, but he was worried that the final decision would be the royal language, so he proposed it by the way, because the royal language is far less popular than Chang'an dialect, and many literati and writers are quite resistant to Hu Feng, and it will be difficult to popularize the royal language.
There is also a proposal to use pinyin to assist in text teaching, and the pinyin of later generations will definitely not be used, and it will have to be remade, which will be handed over to the imperial court. After some deliberation, the imperial court finally adopted it, and when choosing a common language, it was not as Wang Haoran feared, and not long after his suggestion was adopted, the common language was determined to be Chang'an.
One day, two embarrassed young men came to the Hangzhou Research Institute and were stopped by the people inside.
"What's the matter with you?" A young man from the institute asked.
"We are from Chang'an, we are students of Master Wang, and we have urgent matters to find Master Wang, and I ask a friend to convey it!"
"Master Wang? There is no one called Wang Shi here. The young man replied.
"No, no, no, what we are looking for is the little young master Wang Haoran."
"You're his students?" The young man was even more puzzled, the little young master was in his early twenties, and the people in front of him were a few years older than the little young master, but he quickly understood and asked, "Oh...... Are you candidates for the Enke 100? ”
"Exactly! I also asked a friend to lead me to meet Master Wang, and I still have important things to tell you. ”
"Okay, please come with me." The young man of the research institute immediately became respectful and said politely. In recent years, there have been many talents in the imperial court, and the vast majority of them are among the 100 people of Enke, so the 100 people of Enke have a very high reputation in the Tang Dynasty.
"Master Wang, save Old Chen!" As soon as the two Enke candidates saw Wang Haoran, they cried.
Wang Haoran recognized these two candidates, and he also knew Chen Lao in their mouths, Chen Lao was also one of the 100 people in Enke, and he could be described as a talented person, but he had unique insights and talents before, and he had cynical concepts, so he simply lived in seclusion. I have been in seclusion for nearly 20 years, and now I am more than 50 years old. Later, the imperial court held Enke, and Wang Haoran's questions were eclectic, which suited his own taste, and he felt like he had found a soulmate, so he ignited the idea of serving the court and participated in the Enke exam.
"What's wrong with Old Chen?" Wang Haoran said nervously, he values Chen Lao's talent very much, it can be said that in Datang, in addition to Wang Haoran, Chen Lao's thinking is the closest to that of later generations.
"Old Chen slandered the court because of his drunken gaffes, and said that His Majesty was mediocre and was imprisoned by Yongzhou Mansion."
"Being convicted for words, this is not a big deal, Yongzhou Mansion will release people after a few days at most, why are you so nervous?" Wang Haoran wondered.
"That being said, it's not that simple this time. Previously, Chen Lao had proposed that the hereditary system be changed to pass on the throne without passing on the power, so that more talented people could show their talents. As a result, the court was blaming. And this time Chen Lao was convicted for his words, according to the inquiry, someone in the court wanted to use this to suppress the Enke candidates, and wanted to use Chen Lao as a demonstration! The students also asked His Majesty for forgiveness, but His Majesty ignored him. Moreover, Chen Lao is weak and suffers from wind and cold all the year round, but he can't stay in prison for a long time, that will kill him, the students have visited Chen Lao when they came here, and he has no strength to sit up! Master Wang, you have to hurry up and find a way to save Old Chen! ”
I see, Wang Haoran is full of complaints, and Chen Lao is really, which of the ministers in the court is not the founding hero? is in such a hurry to change the hereditary system, isn't this letting Li Shimin cross the river and tear down the bridge? No wonder the DPRK and the central government are opposed. If he can be born a few decades later, then the founding heroes of the DPRK and China will no longer be there, and that is the best time for him to give full play to his talents. However, complaining is complaining, people are still saved, this matter should not be delayed, if Chen Laozhen has three long and two short in prison, it will be a pity that he is full of talent.
Wang Haoran decided to rush back to Chang'an immediately, but he didn't go home to explain to his wife and children. The two Enke candidates also wanted to follow Wang Haoran back to Chang'an, but Wang Haoran and they were all riding horses, how could these two scholars stand it, and they were tired in less than half a day. So Wang Haoran asked the two of them to buy a carriage to go back to Chang'an, while he and the special team still rode on horseback and took the first step.
From Hangzhou to Chang'an, it usually takes more than half a month to arrive, but Wang Haoran and their urgent journey took less than ten days.
Wang Haoran and others arrived in Chang'an City, they called more than a dozen rickshaws and rushed straight to the Yongzhou Mansion Prison, Chen Lao's imprisonment had already spread in Chang'an City, everyone saw Wang Haoran hurrying back, naturally they could guess the purpose of Wang Haoran's return, and saw Wang Haoran rushing straight to Yongzhou Mansion, and many people also followed to see the excitement. Among them, there were also Enke candidates, who trotted to keep up with the rickshaw while explaining the current situation to Wang Haoran.
When the head of the Yongzhou Mansion Prison heard about this, he hurriedly came out to check, and when he came out, Wang Haoran and others had already come to the door.
"Master Horse is here, I don't know what's going on?" The cell boss said respectfully.
"Less nonsense, lead the way!" Wang Haoran was in no mood to talk to him.
"Master Ma wants to visit prison, so I don't know if there are relevant procedures? If not, please forgive the sins, the villain can't let you in. The cell boss replied tremblingly.
"Lead the way!" Wang Haoran didn't want to bother to say more, and said coldly.
The cell boss was helpless, he was very aggrieved, and he didn't understand the twists and turns between the big guys, but he could only be angry at both ends. hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to lead the way and let Wang Haoran and the others in.
"Old Chen? Old Chen? When he came inside, through the cell door, Wang Haoran saw Chen Lao lying motionless on the straw mat, and he didn't even respond to a few calls, and hurriedly urged the cell boss to open the door.
"Old Chen?" Entering the cell, Wang Haoran patted Chen Lao and called again.
Chen Lao only realized that someone was calling him at this time, and turned around with difficulty to find that the person in front of him was Wang Haoran, and after a moment of astonishment, he howled and cried, and sighed: "Master Wang, the world is uneven!" The world is uneven! ”
