Chapter 185: Above the Court
The second day of Yaya's entry into the palace is the first day of the new year, and the fifteenth day of the first month of each month is the day when the court meeting is held.
The early dynasties were mainly divided into kinds, one was the court participation, which could only be participated by some important officials in the capital. There is another one, called the Great Dynasty Meeting, which is a grand event of the imperial court, and even many officials from other places, relatives of the emperor and relatives have to come back. It is held on the first day of the year and the winter solstice every year.
And the court meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, to put it bluntly, is a strengthened version of the court participation, that is, the threshold is lowered. At this time, some princes and relatives are also eligible to participate.
Just like now, standing at the forefront of the hundred officials are a few young people. The crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Shu Li Ke, the king of Yue Li Tai, and the king of Yan Li You, who had just recovered from his injury, were all in this ranks.
After a period of etiquette, the court meeting was officially held.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a play"
With a burst of voice, an old minister who had gray hair but was elegant stood up. He is the contemporary Confucianism of the Tang Dynasty, the son of the country sacrificing wine, Kong Yingda. Guozi sacrificed wine, this is the highest official in charge of a country's education in the Tang Dynasty.
"Kong Aiqing, please speak"
"Yes, Your Majesty. A few days ago, Weichen received two articles sent by His Royal Highness the King of Shu, which were the three-character scripture and the hundred family names. After careful research by Weichen and others, it was found that these are two rare enlightenment readings. In particular, the three-character scripture is simple and easy to understand, catchy, and has a profound meaning. And the hundred family names, based on the surnames throughout, are also catchy to read. Therefore, Wechen implored His Majesty's permission to vigorously promote it for the benefit of the world. ”
Hearing that Kong Yingda finally played the three-character scripture and the matter of the hundred family names to the emperor, Li Ke's heart was finally settled, and his mood was also a little excited. However, his face was as calm as ever. It's as if His Royal Highness the King of Shu that Kong Yingda said just now is not him.
"Oh, there's something like that, hurry up and bring it up for me to see"
After Li Shimin heard this, he seemed to be very happy, and immediately asked people to present it, and then read it carefully. If Li Feng saw Li Shimin's expression, he would definitely have to look contemptuous again, this Li Lao Er can really pretend.
"Well, yes, they are really two rare enlightenment articles, and they should indeed be vigorously promoted."
After Li Shimin looked at it a few times, he immediately put the papers on the case, and then nodded and said.
"Wechen brings students from all over the world, thank you Your Majesty. However, this matter is very important, and Weichen thinks that he needs to be presided over by someone who has both virtue and ability. Weichen thinks that it is most appropriate for His Royal Highness the King of Shu to handle this matter."
In fact, this matter is not big or small, and it is not complicated to operate. The point is, whoever does this will get a good name. Since these things were all found by Li Ke, the king of Shu, it is reasonable that he should be in charge of this matter.
At this time, although Li Ke's face was calm, his heart was full of happiness. But it seems that he was happy a little too soon, because soon someone will come out to stir up the situation.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it is impossible. Therefore, as Master Kong said, this matter is of great importance and cannot be lost. Therefore, the person in charge is the most important thing. It is best to have someone who is experienced in this area. For example, this matter requires design, book printing, and so on. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Ke suddenly hated in his heart, although he did not name him Li Ke and said that he Li Ke was not good, nor did he mention who would be in charge of this matter. However, there is no need to think about it, Li Ke knows that this is the ghost of Li Tai, the king of Yue.
Li Tai has always been famous for his elegance, gongcaoli, and collection of thousands of volumes, coupled with the emperor's favor for him. As a result, they often get some errands related to it. said that there are people with experience, and the most experienced one is none other than Kong Yingda. However, no matter how experienced you are, you can't say that you have more experience than the prince.
In this way, who is talking about, where can there be no score in the hearts of everyone.
The reason why Li Ke is so keen on this matter, in addition to winning a good reputation and leaving a good impression on the emperor, there is also a very important reason, that is, because through this matter, he can contact many people. Only when there is contact can there be intersection, and only when there is intersection can there be something different.
This is also the reason why they, the princes, are so enthusiastic about the tasks assigned by the emperor.
"Alright, let's talk about this later. Actually, I also have some good things today that I want you to see. Come on, bring things up. ”
Li Shimin's originally good mood disappeared immediately after being troubled just now. The dispute between these three sons has always been Li Shimin's most headache and most difficult thing, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat. What makes him most angry is that this kind of battle is becoming more and more intense, and more and more ministers of the DPRK and China are involved.
However, he didn't have time to care about these things today, he had more important things to do. As a few guards carried things to the front of the court, Li Shimin also walked down from the dragon chair unusually. And everyone looked at these things in the court with strange expressions.
A large black wooden board, a strange little table, and a small wooden box that I don't know what it contains. What is the emperor going to do?
"Ladies and gentlemen, this pitch-black wooden board, as its name suggests, is called a blackboard. This small table is used for class. As for the box.......... this one is called chalk, and this one is called a chalkboard eraser. As for what it is used for, you will know it after reading it. ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he actually picked up the chalk and wrote on the blackboard. After writing on the blackboard, I went to the small blackboard on the small desk and wrote a few words. Then, pick up the blackboard eraser, brush it, erase the words, and then write a few words again. Then he stood there and looked at the crowd.
Everyone was puzzled by Li Shimin's series of actions, and they were confused. This is written and erased, erased and continued to write, what is this trying to do? And seeing that the emperor didn't speak, of course they knew that the emperor was waiting for them to speak.
However, everyone wanted to break their heads, and they didn't know what to say, because they couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. You can't praise the emperor for his good handwriting.
"Oh, Your Majesty, this blackboard and chalk are so good, it's so good, it's much better than writing with a brush on paper. If I write a piece of music in the future, I can also use this thing, and I will not be afraid of writing mistakes. If you make a mistake, just erase and rewrite it. This way, you don't have to throw paper all over the floor. The most important thing is that where it is wrong, it should be done, no need to rewrite, good things, really good things"
The first to speak was Cheng Biting Jin, looking at this thing, he immediately said happily. Exposing himself to be ugly, Cheng Yanjin has always been stingy and not afraid. Many times, this is done to make people like it more, and most importantly, the emperor will like it. You can't be perfect, or you'll be hated.
"Hehe, you Cheng bite the gold, just thinking about good things, is it possible that you will always carry a lot of wooden planks to me in the future, I just don't know if your wood is enough, haha." Everyone, Aiqing, is there anyone else who has a different explanation? ”
Cheng Biting Jin's words amused Li Shimin, but the other party was about to get to the point. Today, Li Shimin may indeed be in a good mood, and he is even in this court, letting everyone play guessing and hiding.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for coming up with such a brilliant idea. It is really a blessing for the world's readers, a blessing for the world. With this artifact, I don't know how many poor scholars can read and write with peace of mind. ”
And at this moment, a thin old man said with excitement on his face.
