Chapter 40: Bolangsha (6)

The First Emperor's Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ying Zheng sat on the high platform dragon seat, domineering, mighty and so powerful that people did not dare to look at it directly.

Prime Minister Li Si stood respectfully below, neither humble nor arrogant, humble and polite.

They are discussing state affairs.

"Prime Minister Li, I've already read your recital, who is this Cheng Miao?"

Li Si bowed first and explained: "This journey is really not simple, and the minister really admires it. His ancestral hometown was Xiaying, who was a prison official in a small county, and later committed a crime and has been locked up in Yunyang Prison. ”

Ying Zheng was a little unhappy, and said impatiently: "You said that he created a font that is easy to write, and I was very happy when I first heard it." Now you say that he is just a criminal in prison, what good font can a criminal create? ”

Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, Qin has been extremely resolute in the implementation of the law, and the punishment for those who violate the Qin law is extremely severe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. For a long time, the system has long been formed, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people are deeply ashamed of their illegal behavior.

Li Si was not in a hurry, took a step forward, and spoke very clearly word by word, with a respectful attitude without the slightest fear.

"Your Majesty, whether a person is talented or not is not directly related to his character. The emperor is wise and martial, sweeping Liuhe and unifying the world, even Yao Shun is far from enough. However, the emperor's current huge territory is not only ruled by force, but also by culture. We have also done a lot of efforts in this area before, but has had little effect, especially in the unified use of words, it is slow progress, half the effort, the reason, which is complicated and difficult to write is one aspect, if we promote a simple writing, and closely related to the previous font font, I think in the implementation of the text system will be twice the result with half the effort! And now the small seal writing is complicated, the courtiers are also very energy-consuming to deal with affairs, and using this simple font will also greatly improve the efficiency of the courtiers in handling affairs! ”

Ying Zheng's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Could it be that Cheng Miao invented such a font?" ”

Li Si couldn't help muttering, aren't you pretending to be confused! It has been clearly written in the recital, this Cheng Miao invented a font, which is extremely simple to write, which can not only improve office efficiency, but also is extremely beneficial to the implementation of text unity.

But he remained silent on the surface, and said unhurriedly: "This Cheng Miao is really powerful, and he is a person with great perseverance." He spent his days in prison with nothing to do, and felt that it was a pity to waste his time, so he thought, why not do something to forgive his sins? But what can you do in prison? This question has always plagued Cheng Miao. At that time, we were implementing the policy of writing the same script, and the small seal was used as the unified script of the whole country. At that time, government affairs were varied, and the documents were complicated, and it was much more convenient to write official documents with a small seal than before, but the small seal was not convenient for sketching, and it was still time-consuming and troublesome, which affected the speed and efficiency of work. Cheng Miao, a former jailer, knew that it was difficult for Xiao Seal to adapt to official duties, and wouldn't it be better if he could create a new style of writing that was easy to read and fast to write? With this idea in his mind, Cheng Miao racked his brains to ponder, so he devoted himself to studying the structure of fonts in prison and began to learn about words. Cheng Miao collected all kinds of calligraphy that circulated among the people, devoted himself to research, improved them one by one, changed the circle of the large and small seals into square folds, and at the same time deleted the complicated and simplified, went to the rough and fine, and after processing and sorting, not long ago, he finally created 3,000 individual characters that were convenient to write and easy to recognize. A few days ago, he presented this result through the county lieutenant. ”

Like a storyteller, Li Si tells it very carefully, but also interesting and vivid! The image of a Cheng Miao was vividly presented in front of Ying Zheng's eyes.

Ying Zheng smiled and said playfully: "You are thinking about this Cheng Miao!" ”

Li Si hurriedly knelt down and said impassionedly: "I will die for the thousand-year hegemony of Great Qin!" ”

Ying Zheng: "Okay, get up!" Present those 3,000 words another day, let me see it first! ”

Li Si: "The emperor is wise! ”

Ying Zheng: "You said that Cheng Miao was a small county jailer before?" ”

Lees: "Yes! Before he was imprisoned, he was indeed only a county jailer. ”

Ying Zheng: "Then this font is called Lishu!" So as not to make it inconvenient to talk about it later! ”

Li Si: "Thank you, Emperor!" The emperor is wise! ”

Ying Zheng: "It's a bit early to say thank you!" Stand down! ”

Li Si bowed and retreated.

Zhao Gao had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.

Seeing Li Si retreat, he hurried in.

Salute!

"Your Majesty, it's time to go!"

Ying Zheng: "How long has General Meng been gone?" ”

Zhao Gao: "The emperor, General Meng led two thousand cavalry, and it has been more than an hour since he set off!" ”

Ying Zheng: "Okay! Now it's time to go. ”

Zhao Gao knelt down to receive the order.

After that, Zhao Gao got up, turned around and waved his hand, and the ten chariots were carried into the palace one by one by a group of wrestlers. Then, Zhao Gao waved his hand again, and a group of wrestlers retreated.

Xiao Muqing saw that Ying Zheng had finished handling government affairs and it was time to set off, so he walked out from the back of the palace and stood by Ying Zheng's side.

Ying Zheng faced Xiao Muqing: "There are still government affairs that have not been dealt with last night, I have to deal with government affairs on the chariot, you also slept late last night, you didn't have a good rest, don't share the car with me, you just find a chariot at random, go to the top and have a good rest!" ”

Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt down and cried: "You can't work anymore, it's time to rest!" ”

Ying Zheng lamented: "The world is decided, how can you be slack?" ”

Zhao Gao: "Your Majesty ......"

Ying Zheng was furious: "Don't say it again!" ”

Xiao Muqing: "How can the emperor be able to do it without someone around him?" ”

Ying Zheng gently patted Xiao Muqing's delicate little face: "I'm not old yet!" ”

Saying "haha", he laughed and got into the first chariot.

Xiao Muqing hesitated, took a light step, and Yingying entered the second chariot.

Later, Zhao Gao attracted eight men with a similar physique to Yingzheng, all of whom were blindfolded and their ears plugged, which could not be said to be impossible to see or hear. Then one by one they were led into the rest of the chariots.

At this point, we have to admire Yingzheng, such security measures can be said to be extremely tight. Except for Zhao Gao and Xiao Muqing, no one knew that he was riding in that chariot, and he couldn't see it from the outside. Because the physique inside is the same, the chariots and horses outside are the same, and the guards are the same.

It is said that this security measure was personally formulated by Wei Yanzi for Yingzheng back then, and we have to marvel at his wisdom, this teacher of Li Yan.

Ying Zheng boarded the chariot and got into the complicated government affairs, no longer paying attention to other things. The itinerary was arranged by Prime Minister Li Si, Zhao Gao and other generals, so he didn't have to worry about it.

…………

Bolangsha, reeds.

The sun was slowly rising, and it was already very hot at only half a ring.

The reeds are swinging, and the water is calm and waveless!

Suddenly, the giant tiger seemed to be aware of it, and a pair of sharp eyes looked down at the water.

The calm, waveless water slowly rippled in circles, becoming denser and denser.

Zhang Liang, Giant Tiger, four eyes facing each other!

A series of sparks collided.

"It's coming!"

Coincidentally, they spoke at the same time.

There was no need to be reminded, Zhang Liang took a deep breath, put one end of the long reed pipe in his hand into his mouth, and gradually sank into the water, leaving only the other end of the reed pipe exposed on the water.

The giant tiger also quickly picked up the reed pipe floating in the water, took a deep breath, blew the water in the reed pipe away, and slowly dived into the water.

The reeds returned to calm, leaving only the boundless reeds and the increasingly dense ripples on the water.

They knew that the Qin army was here again, and this time more troops were coming, and they would conduct a carpet search of this area!

…………

On a sand dune more than 150 meters away from the gallop.

An extremely hidden hole in the sand dunes****** Li Yan maintained a lying position and a gun, and sweat dripped into his eyes. He blinked his eyes vigorously, endured the pain of his eyes being stimulated by the salt in the sweat, and did not move!

Hot, because of the weather, but also because his body has been in a position for a long time, the muscles of the body are tense!

Suddenly, there was a violent tremor on the ground under him, and Li Yan knew that the Qin army's brigade had arrived, and they would search this area.

Li Yan couldn't help but worry in his heart, the eldest brother and the giant tiger didn't know if they could avoid this search, although he knew that they had escaped all the searches in history, but he couldn't help but worry, after all, this was the most elite army in the world, and they had a superstitious admiration for Yingzheng. They will turn over the entire land for the safety of Yingzheng.
