Chapter 65: The Court Argues

Symbolizing the pinnacle of power in the whole world, the Jinluan Palace, on the ridge and vertical ridge of the roof, there are eleven immortal statues of different appearances as decoration, the immortal statues cast by glazed tiles, shining in the sun, very conspicuous, here is also the only place in the whole palace where there are a full eleven immortal statues, other places, the specifications are lower.

After crossing the threshold and entering the hall, standing in this Tianzi Hall, it can be seen that the eight vermilion heavenly pillars that need to be surrounded by five people are used to support the high dome, and there are four other small golden pillars standing on the four sides of the dragon chair throne, each carved with a giant dragon walking around the pillar, and then going down the steps in front of the dragon chair, to the main hall, where the courtiers stand.

As for the side of the dragon chair, there are not only palace maids holding two fans made of peacock feathers as escorts, but also royal guards guarding the side with swords.

Among the nine armies of the Liang Kingdom, although the number of Xiao cavalry guards is the smallest, only three thousand, but it is the most important task to guard the palace city and protect the members of the royal family, and its personnel are also carefully selected from the various armies, the most elite and the most loyal people, the four masters of the inner world are firmly guarded in the four directions, and they can put an end to all ill-intentioned Xiaoxiao, not to mention, just three steps away from the emperor's side, there is a big eunuch wearing a red python robe who is wearing a big red python robe.

As the unfathomable eunuch opened with a shrill voice, the ministers below bowed down one after another, saying "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The one on the dragon chair said "Zhuqing is flat", and the ministers bowed again, saying "Thank Your Majesty", and after standing again, this court meeting can be regarded as officially begins.

Before anyone else could make a move, Gu Cang, who was standing at the forefront, was the first to attend, took a step forward, bowed his head, and said loudly to the front: "Father, son, today, something is going on!"

He is the crown prince of the dynasty, in the palm of the East Palace, he is the prince of the country, he has been able to be on par with the six Shangshu as before, and then he was crowned the king of Qin, even if he only talks about the status of the official, now only the Shangshu Ling who holds the six departments can be compared with it, and the Zhongshu Ling and the Huangmen Shilang of Menxia Province are far from enough to match it, after all, it is said that it is three provinces, but in fact, the largest authority and the highest status must be the Shangshu Province with the heaviest real power.

It's just that as soon as he made a move on his side, the others turned around in unison and all looked at this all-round prince.

Gu Cang is wearing a sky blue seven-clawed dragon robe given by Gu Yi today, which is obviously beyond the ancient system, embroidered with a golden dragon around his body, as a pattern of surveying the sky, wearing a black crown, a gold-edged bottom, and a ruby hat, majestic and unparalleled, in terms of this outfit alone, in this Jinluan Palace, he is the first person under the emperor, and even Gu Li, who has been crowned the king of Qi next to him, is just a normal five-clawed golden dragon, which cannot be compared with it at all.

Although Gu Cang has been frail and sickly since he was a child, resulting in a pale face and a weak body, but when he arrives in this place, he is not weaker than others in terms of momentum, after all, people's temperament is radiated from the inside out, and it is a manifestation of spiritual will.

On the dragon chair, Gu Yi looked down at the child he liked the most, his forehead slightly, and the Han Diao Temple next to him understood, and immediately puffed up his breath, and opened his mouth to shout: "Obey the emperor's order, yes!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Gu Cang flicked his sleeves violently and bowed down, this is a ceremony that cannot be abolished.

"Father, the sage has already said that the car is on the same track, the book is the same, the line is the same, and the world is stable. ”

This means that if you unify rutted traffic, unify writing, and unify customs and beliefs, then the world can be stable.

This is to quote the scriptures, throw bricks and stones, and move out of what the sage said to pave the way for what he is going to say next, so that it is more convincing, and there is no way to refute it, if anyone wants to refute it, he must fundamentally refute the sage's words, and sure enough, as soon as he said this, the others either nodded lightly, or frowned and pondered the deep meaning of his words.

Quoting the words of the sage, or the historical events that have already occurred as a foreshadowing, this method is very common, and everyone does not find it strange, on the contrary, if the prince does not even know how to use this basic means, it is strange, but it also shows that the other party is prepared, whether it is against him or those who support him, they will naturally listen more attentively to what he has to say next.

In fact, there were only two factions of the Jiangzhou Party and the Youzhou Party, and the other people above the court either remained neutral or completely turned to him, and only the people of these two factions had to do everything they could to provoke no matter what he did.

But most of the Youzhou Party are from martial arts, and they haven't studied for a few years, and it is impossible for them to bring the staff of the palace above the court, so as soon as he says this, these martial artists can only scratch their ears and cheeks, and they can't think of a place to fight back, and the Jiangzhou Party is from a family, and most of them serve in the Ministry of Rites.

Seeing that everyone had brought up their attention, Gu Cang continued: "However, although this word is the same, the structure is too complicated, which is not conducive to learning, which is why many people do not even know how to write their own names so far, it is really because it is too difficult to learn fonts, so Erchen proposed to simplify the font and popularize the simplified Chinese characters, instead of the traditional Chinese used now, without losing the essence of the *, but conducive to learning, beneficial to the future." ”

As soon as his voice fell, an official of the Jiangzhou Party stood up and said directly: "What the prince said, the minister thinks it is very inappropriate, the ancient sage made words, but for our human race to teach the truth of heaven and earth, rash change, is not contrary to the teachings of the sage? Moreover, if the complexity is simplified, the meaning of the words itself will be lost, and the lower officials have also read the latest civil newspaper founded by the prince, and with all due respect, many of the words on it are really difficult to see, and after simplification, there is no beauty, which is completely contrary to the original intention of the sage's words. ”

Gu Cang turned around and looked at the person who spoke, the other party's life history flashed in his mind one by one, although he knew that he was from the Jiangzhou Party, but the matter of innovation was originally to coordinate all parties until everyone was satisfied, and he was not angry at the moment, but just smiled slightly and opened his mouth to argue with him.

"What you said, there is also a little truth, but everything is pros and cons, if this reason to block education, it is really a little unreasonable, I think it is better to use simplified Chinese to teach, and print books, but still retain the traditional curriculum, and can be included in the imperial examination, after all, my original intention is to let more people read, and be able to read, to contribute more talents to the country, not to completely cancel the traditional Chinese, Your Excellency said, I also deeply believe that calligraphy and paintings, etc., indeed to traditional Chinese to reflect its beauty, can not be easily banned。 ”

"Ugh. ”

When this up-and-coming person heard this, he was stunned for a moment, so he didn't seem to have a big problem, it was just a matter of changing the font, and it was also in the name of being good for the country and the people, and the other party was such a noble identity, he didn't seem to be able to refute it.

The court meeting was originally a one-sided performance, and if there was opposition from all parties, it would come out to debate, and finally the emperor would make the final decision, and now that no one came out to object, Gu Yi on the dragon chair immediately spoke: " Cang'er said, I think it is very reasonable, simplify the complex, the merit is in the contemporary, the benefit is in the future, it is easier for the people to learn the language, and it is easier to give birth to talents who serve the country, which also saves the need for a special person to go to the towns and villages to read every time what decree is, I am accurate, Su Aiqing, it is up to you to draft an edict, from now on, starting from the capital, all states and counties, in turn, the schools in various places must begin to teach in simplified Chinese, but retain the study of traditional Chinese, and include it in the name of the imperial examination. ”

The drafting of the decree was originally a matter for the Zhongshu Province, and at that moment, a middle-aged man stood up from it, bowed his head and said: "Obey Your Majesty's will!"

Gu Cang also hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Father is wise." ”

This scene, the courtiers who saw it all smiled bitterly, okay, the relationship between the two fathers and sons has actually been discussed a long time ago, and now it is just a formality, but it is ridiculous that there are still people who came out to oppose it just now, and they can't even understand this, it is really in vain to have been in the officialdom for so many years.

After this incident passed, there was naturally a special person to deal with the follow-up work, and then a person from the military department stood up and gave up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”

"Accurate!"

This person did not delay, and hurriedly said: "Gu Xuan, the king of Hedong County, has just sent a message through the Youzhou Post Station, asking His Majesty to allow him to recruit the Rakshasa people in the desert, and give him jewelry, tea, porcelain, silk and other materials as a gift to the Rakshasa clan. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers suddenly became in a commotion.

The two princes who have been crowned kings, the third Gu Li and the fourth Gu Hai, are still standing at the forefront at this time, without showing any special expressions, and it seems that they have already learned the news.

Gu Cang folded his hands in front of his waist and didn't say a word for the time being, but the third Gu Li and the fourth Gu Hai both sneered in their hearts, this fifth child was relegated to Youzhou, and he still refused to keep to himself?

After this person finished speaking, there were princelings who immediately stood up and supported: "Zhao'an is not impossible, the Rakshasa clan has poisoned the border for many years, if it can be solved without spending a single soldier, it is indeed a good thing, the minister thinks that the request of the king of Hedong County is also somewhat reasonable, so it is better to consider one or two." ”

He doesn't say anything to death, so even if things don't work out in the end, it won't involve him.

However, as soon as his voice fell, someone from the military department immediately stood up and shouted: "The minister thinks that this matter is extremely inappropriate, this group of Rakshasa clans, backtracking, no sincerity, the former emperor was kind enough to set up a trade place on the border of Youzhou, for the well-being of the two clans, but was suddenly taken away by this group of villains, and now I talk about Zhao'an, I am afraid that it is also their trick!"

He was not embarrassed to directly say that this was the whimsy of the king of Hedong County, only that it was a trick of the Rakshasa clan, but the implication was naturally self-evident.

However, the examples he just gave are all true, and they involve the former emperor, and it is really difficult for these civil servants to refute it, and the official positions of the two people who are arguing now are not high, and it is even more difficult for more powerful officials to end up directly.

In the final analysis, in fact, it is because Gu Xuan does not have a person in the court who can stand up and speak for himself, the only one who is inclined to his own minister, Shangshu Ye Zhihuai, and he is a respectful and cautious person, and he has to think twice when he takes a step, and he has never thought of relying on normal methods to support Gu Xuan to ascend to the throne, of course, he doesn't have that ability, what he wants to rely on is actually the means of the Holy Clan, if it doesn't work, he will kill it.

Seeing that no one agreed for the time being, another military attache from Youzhou said: "When the minister was at the border, he didn't deal with these things, these Rakshasa clans, to say that they are people, but in fact, they are a bunch of beasts who drink blood, as long as they give milk to drink, anyone can be a mother, no principle, no morality, backsliding, it is their nature, this matter, the minister thinks it is not feasible." ”
