In the days that followed, the capital seemed to be much calmer.

Gu Ming's combination punch did have a great effect, which made Pudu Cihang and his subordinates and lackeys feel a lot more at ease.

Regardless of whether it was calm before the storm or not, at least, Gu Ming believed that the other party would have some scruples.

In this way, he can also devote more energy to other things.

For example, from time to time, he entered the palace to give lectures to the emperor and give advice. At this time, it is inevitable to use the skills of export chapters to fundamentally weaken the negative influence of Pudu Cihang on the emperor's ideology and psychology.

To put it bluntly, the behavior of both sides is similar to viruses and antivirus.

The effect is also relatively obvious, at least the emperor began to take the initiative to reduce the number of visits to Amaterasu Temple.

In addition, Gu Ming is also busy compiling the phonetic scheme, monitoring the movements of King Qing, writing books, and completing the daily tasks of the system...... And so on, and even, occasionally, I will find time to learn the language of the Western Regions.

Fortunately, Gu Ming is full of energy, and he can almost treat an ordinary person's day as two days, and everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

For example, the manuscript of the fourth volume of Dream of Red Mansions is almost complete......

With the efforts of more than 100 people in the cabinet, Guozijian, and Hanlin Academy, the first character book in history with pinyin and paraphrasing was preliminarily compiled.

Next, it needs to be proofread and corrected, and the final draft will be submitted to the emperor for approval.

If the emperor thinks there is no problem, then it can be officially delivered for printing.

At the same time, dozens of pamphlets hand-copied by Guozijian's students were delivered to the palace first.

This booklet is copied from the "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text", and "Hundred Character Surname", and each word is annotated with pinyin and tone.

There is also a complete list of initials and finals in the appendix.

This is precisely from Gu Ming's previous proposal, to use this book as the basic reading material of enlightenment, and first try it out in the palace, and select some princes, princesses, little princes, and little princesses of the right age to study.

As for the emperor...... No need to learn anymore, because he has already learned.

It was precisely because the emperor learned that he realized the practicality and value of this phonetic scheme.

As long as you have a word book in hand, you don't need to ask others for advice when you encounter a word you don't know in the future......

This will be a great event for the ages.

The first emperor unified the language, so it was up to him Yongping Emperor to add the icing on the cake, unify the languages of the north and south of the river, and strive to popularize the standard official language in the world.

Perhaps, future generations will also call him the Emperor Yongping because of this?

Therefore, in this matter, Emperor Yongping was extraordinarily active and spared no effort to promote progress, and strive to make the new word list appear as soon as possible.

Courtiers need political achievements, and so does the Son of Heaven.

If a courtier has a political achievement, he can be added to the rank of knight, and if the Son of Heaven has a political achievement, he can be famous all over the world and go down in history.

Who doesn't have a little dream?

The Son of Heaven is no exception.

……

Royal Palace, South Study.

This is where the prince and princess study.

Emperor Yongping had six princes under his name, the eldest of whom was the crown prince, who was now 14 years old and was born to the empress.

There are two other princesses: Princess Ningyang and Princess Anyun.

Among them, Princess Ningyang is eight years old and was also born to the queen, and Princess Anyun is four years old and was born to a concubine.

This time, in order to promote the phonetic scheme as soon as possible, Emperor Yongping specially issued an order and selected more than a dozen princes and grandsons to enter the palace to read together.

As Gu Ming said, this is a silent announcement to the outside world, and at the same time, it is also necessary to drive a trend to follow.

This is called the upward and downward effect.

If the emperor forces a group of ministers or the children of ministers to study, it may attract some unnecessary resistance, and it will also make some old stubborn jump out to oppose it.

The princes, princesses, little princes, and county lords sat in a proper manner, including the youngest Princess An Yun, who also sat honestly, looking well-behaved and smart.

Because at this time, the emperor and the queen are also in the south study, who dares to be naughty?

On weekdays, classes are usually taken by the Taishi and Taifu, but today the person who walked into the south study was a young man he didn't know?

At that moment, several princes couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise.

This is not to blame them, after all, almost all of the people who teach them on weekdays are old ministers with white hair, and no matter how bad they are, they are forty or fifty years old, why did they suddenly change to twenty years old?

Of course, with Gu Ming's current qualifications, he is not enough to serve as a master and a master, and under normal circumstances, at least he is qualified to be a university scholar or the like.

However, Gu Ming, as a bachelor of waiting, entering the palace to give lectures is also one of his duties.

"Wechen see the emperor and the queen!"

"Aiqing, this is the south study, so you don't need to be polite."

Emperor Yongping smiled and raised his hand, then glanced down: "I specially ordered Master Gu to come over today to explain to you and others the phonetic method of writing, which will be of great benefit to you in the future......

After a few words of routine, Emperor Yongping raised his hand: "Okay, all stand up and salute Mr." ”

The emperor spoke, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and they all stood up to salute.

"Sit down......"

Gu Ming smiled and pressed his hand.

After the students sat down, Gu Ming picked up the roster and called them one by one, which can be regarded as knowing his students.

After the roll call, Fang said: "Okay, let's open the appendix of the book in your hand, and I will first teach you to know the initials and their standard pronunciation ......."

Soon, the sound of reading in the south study sounded in unison.

With the emperor and queen here, the students naturally concentrated extraordinarily......

After listening for almost half an hour, the emperor and queen finally got up and left. As soon as they left, a group of students suddenly became dishonest......

After all, they are all princes, princesses, little princes, little princesses, etc., and if they want to be replaced by princesses and princesses, they don't dare to be too naughty, but Gu Ming is too young, and in their eyes, there is no teacher authority at all.

"Sister, hungry ......"

Four-year-old Princess Anyun looked at the pastry in the hands of her sister Princess Ningyang, and saliva was dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph, who told you not to bring snacks."

Princess Ningyang deliberately teased her sister while eating pastries.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Princess Anyun cried aggrievedly.

"Ningyang, you bully your little sister again......"

"Hmph, which eye did you see me bullying my little sister?"

"Little sister, don't cry, come, third brother has candy here......"

"Hee-hee, thank you, third brother......"

"Little sister, the third brother's candy is poisonous, give you pastries, my sister has bitten it, I promise it's okay......"

Gu Ming was speechless, looking at this classroom as if it had become a vegetable market.

However, he was not angry, but enjoyed the childlike atmosphere a little.

He wanted to see how many tricks these special little kids could toss.

A few little princes and little county lords got together, glanced at Gu Ming from time to time, muttering that they didn't know what they were talking about.

The crown prince sat in place with an arrogant look, his eyes did not squint, and he looked deaf.

Although Gu Ming is very famous, these princes and princesses have grown up in the deep palace since they were children, pampered and high, and it is not easy to make them obedient.

Gu Ming had expected this for a long time.

However, he is not in a hurry to tame these little guys, let them make trouble for a while.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Princess Anyun may have swallowed, and her little face was red and coughing.

Princess Ningyang hurriedly patted her little sister on the back, and at the same time shouted at Gu Ming angrily: "Gu Aiqing, why don't you go and bring a cup of water...... Belch? ”

Before she could finish her command, a ball of water the size of an egg appeared in front of her out of thin air.

"This ...... This ......"

Princess Ningyang was speechless in surprise.

At the same time, the other princes, little princes, and little county lords were also confused......

Gu Ming lazily explained, walked quickly to Princess Anyun's side, and as soon as his thoughts moved, the drop of water automatically came to Princess Anyun's lips, and at the same time said softly: "Little princess, open your mouth, drink the water, and you'll be fine." ”

"Oh!"

Princess An Yun was not so surprised, she just felt happy, and when she opened her mouth and exhaled, the water droplets turned into a thin stream and slowly flowed into her mouth.

"Gollum...... Gollum ......"

After all, Princess Anyun is only four years old, so how can she care that the source of this water is unknown, whether it is poisonous or not, and she subconsciously drank her belly.

"Sweet ......"

After drinking her stomach, the little girl smacked her lips in satisfaction.

As soon as he heard this, a small county lord sitting not far away subconsciously took the sugar water he had poured and looked at it......

"I hate it, who stole someone's sugar water......"

Gu Ming smiled and said nothing.

"Aiqing Aiqing, it's okay to be fun again, people want butterflies ......"

The little princess licked the sugar juice from the corner of her mouth while tugging at Gu Ming's sleeve and begging.

This little girl heard her sister call Aiqing, and she also called her like this, which sounded very funny.

"Okay, but after you become a butterfly, you can listen to the class obediently for a while, and you are not allowed to be naughty anymore, and you can't eat anymore, okay?"

"Mmmm, people must listen to the class obediently!"

Princess An Yun nodded excitedly.

At this time, Princess Ningyang couldn't help blinking: "Gu Aiqing, do you still play tricks?" ”

Looking at Princess Ningyang's pink, baby-fat little face, Gu Ming couldn't help but reach out and twist it gently, and said with a smile: "Will it or not, Her Royal Highness the princess will know soon." ”

At this moment, the others suddenly came to their senses, including the crown prince, who also turned their heads, ready to take a look.

Generally speaking, for the sake of safety, there are very few jugglers in the palace, and most of the entertainment activities are mainly singing, dancing and opera.

These pampered royal disciples stay in the deep palace all the year round, and it is rare to go out once, and most of the people's understanding is also to listen to some palace maids and eunuchs, which is naturally very strange.

Of course, Gu Ming is not playing any tricks, it is not at the same level as those folk tricks, and it is not a concept.

It's just that he is lazy to explain, and it is difficult to explain with these little princes and princesses, so it should be a trick......

Then, Gu Ming's thoughts moved, and with a few strokes of the void in his hand, a butterfly took shape.

In the blink of an eye, he was alive......

Colorful, fluttering wings fluttering in the air. And it's huge, about the size of a small washbasin.

"Wow, wow...... Butterflies, butterflies ......"

The little princess looked excited, waved her hands, and jumped on her little feet and screamed.

The other little princess, who was two years older than her, was also very excited, cheering and running after the butterflies.

"Is this true?"

Princess Ningyang blinked her eyes wide, looking surprised.

"When it's true, it's true!"

Gu Ming said incomprehensibly, his hand was raised slightly, and he held up one fingertip, and the big butterfly immediately flew over, staying on his fingertips and flapping its wings gently.

"Gu Aiqing, I want it too, I want it too, I want ......it too"

Princess Ningyang finally stopped pretending to be old, and dragged Gu Ming to be coquettish with an impatient look, and at the same time raised her hand and stretched out a finger like Gu Ming.

"Then you have to listen to the class obediently!"

"Well, people must listen to Mr."

This time, I didn't call Aiqing anymore, I was convinced and called Mr.

"Sir, people should ...... too"

"Sir, I want butterflies too......"

The other two little county lords came back to their senses and immediately followed suit.

Princess Anyun was in a hurry, seeing the butterfly flying to her sister's fingertips, she desperately tiptoed to catch it, but she couldn't catch it enough, so she simply sat on the ground and kicked her little feet and cried.

Seeing this, Gu Ming couldn't help bending down and hugged her, and coaxed: "Little princess, don't cry, look, there are so many butterflies flying in." ”

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The little girl suddenly wiped her tears, burst into laughter, and then dragged the corners of Gu Ming's clothes with both hands, and looked around with her eyes.

At this time, Gu Ming's face couldn't help but perk, and he chanted loudly: "Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor's spring heart is entrusted to the cuckoo." ”

The magical scene suddenly shocked the prince and others again.

Because, the words that Gu Ming chanted turned into a solid shape, suspended in mid-air.

After he finished chanting, he raised his hand and waved, and the fourteen words turned into butterflies in an instant, with different sizes and postures, and flew in a circle indoors.

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

Princess Ningyang couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Butterfly, butterfly, come, come......"

Princess Anyun jumped on her little feet and kept waving at the butterflies, and her small appearance was very cute.

This time, even the prince couldn't suppress his curiosity, ran a few steps, and subconsciously reached out to catch a butterfly that was flying.

Although he didn't catch it, when the butterfly's wings swept over his fingertips, there was a faint hint of texture, as if a real butterfly had slipped through his fingers.

This means that this is not a simple illusion.

The crown prince finally realized that this gentleman is really not simple, no wonder his father and queen mother would respect him so much.

Although the prince is only fourteen years old, he is much more mature than his peers.

After all, he grew up in the emperor's family and was the prince of the East Palace, so the education he received in all aspects was naturally different.

He knew very well in his heart that Gu Ming seemed to be of low official quality now, but if nothing else, he would inevitably rise to prominence in the future, until he entered the cabinet, and even became the first assistant by his father's side.

And he, as the prince of the East Palace, how can he lack the support of some important ministers around him?

Once there is no one around him, he is afraid that the position of the crown prince will be a little hanging......

Therefore, at this moment, the prince made a decision that he must win over Gu Ming as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the other royal brothers grow up and have their own thoughts, what kind of changes may happen at that time......
