"Hundred Family Names" is only an enlightenment book, but from the day it was born, it has had a very profound impact on the world.

In ancient times, there was Mongolian learning, which is the study of enlightenment. However, in the history of China from top to bottom for thousands of years, all the way to the Braided Dynasty, there are only three kinds of real enlightenment readings, "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic".

In today's Tang Dynasty, before Li Qinzai, the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Names had not yet been published, and only the "Thousand Character Text" was read by children for enlightenment.

The mediocre monarch wants the people to be ignorant, because ignorance is easy to manage, easy to incite, and easy to fool.

But for the wise monarch, what he wanted to see was the spread of knowledge and righteousness.

Because only by reading can we understand reason and morality, know etiquette, righteousness and shame, there will be fewer people who commit crimes, and even fewer people will rebel, which will not only maintain law and order in the world, but also consolidate the rule.

Everyone has books to read, everyone has exercises, this is what is called the world's great harmony.

Li Zhi was undoubtedly a wise monarch, and he soon saw the value of the hundred family names, not only in terms of enlightenment, but also in terms of politics.

""Hundred Family Names"? It couldn't have come at a better time. Li Zhi squinted and laughed.

Empress Wu was puzzled: "Your Majesty means ......"

Li Zhi said leisurely: "Two years ago, my uncle eldest grandson Wuji died, the Guan Long family and the Shandong Shi clan were deferential to me on the surface, but there was a lot of resentment behind it, when my father was alive, these family lords were loyal to my father, but after the death of my father, they were a little restless......

Empress Wu was able to fight in Li Zhi's harem, abolished Empress Wang and successfully ascended the throne, her political sense of smell is also very sensitive, and her eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Your Majesty is saying that you will continue to suppress the family gate valve through "Hundred Family Names"?"

Li Zhi picked up the paper on the table, and the paper was densely filled with words, which was the full text of "Hundred Family Names" written by Li Qinzai.

Flicking his fingers on the thin paper, Li Zhi said leisurely: "In the past, when my father was alive, I ordered Gao Shilian to revise the "Clan Chronicles", and Gao Shilian changed his manuscript three times, and finally met his father's wishes. ”

"In the clan chronicles, my Li family's royal family is the first class, my relatives are second, and the door valves of the major families are the third class.

"What my father can do, why can't I do it?"

Empress Wu's phoenix eyes lit up, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty wants to rebuild the Chronicles of the Clans? ”

Li Zhi smiled but did not answer, his eyes stared at the hundred family names in front of him, and suddenly sighed: "This grandson of the British Duke is also a great talent!" ”

Empress Wu covered her mouth and smiled: "I heard that it was to enlighten his children, but I felt that the thousand-character text was too profound and difficult to understand, so I simply compiled the "Hundred Family Names" myself. ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "Li Qin has a child?" I haven't heard of him getting married......"

Empress Wu snorted and said: "The concubine has inquired, Li Qinzai is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the children are almost five years old, and they were born with the maids in the house in the early years, and they are not even a concubine, but he loves the child quite much." ”

Li Zhi smiled disappreciatively and said, "Man, it is inevitable that when you have impulses and lose your mind, I was not ...... with you back then."

Empress Wu's face turned red, she gently pushed him, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, in broad daylight, it is above the main hall again, don't get carried away with nonsense!" ”

Li Zhi laughed, then suddenly frowned, pressed his head with both hands, and groaned in pain.

Empress Wu panicked, hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty has committed another wind disease?" ”

Turning her head to look outside the hall, Empress Wu said in a deep voice: "Someone, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor!" ”

Li Zhi groaned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm better." ”

Empress Wu looked at him worriedly and sighed: "Your Majesty's wind attacks have become more and more frequent recently, and famous doctors all over the world can't cure it, but how can it be." ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know why I have been punished by heaven if I have never done anything to harm Zhongliang and poison the people. ”

Pointing to the hundred family names in front of him, Li Zhi continued: "The imperial examination is going to be carried out, and the resistance of the family gate valve is very great, and at this time, Li Qinzai compiled the "Hundred Family Names", isn't it echoing the "Clan Chronicles" of his father? I have to say, this is providence. ”

Empress Wu also nodded, if it was about her hatred for the family gate, she was actually even worse than Li Zhi.

When Wang Liwu was abolished, the representative of the family headed by the eldest grandson Wuji was a verbal criticism of her, and that time she competed with the queen Wang, if anyone lost, the end would die.

Later, the queen was defeated, and sure enough, she also died.

And Empress Wu is equivalent to walking on the ghost gate, these are all thanks to the family gate, how can she not hate the family?

"Your Majesty wants to promote "Hundred Family Names" to the world, so as to knock on the door valve of the family?" Empress Wu immediately asked.

Li Zhi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "For the family gate valve, I must not only use it, but also guard against it, since I ascended the throne, I have decided to carry out the imperial examination and open up the road for the children of the poor family to enter the office, and the family gate valve has given me resistance, and I will knock them from time to time." ”

"This "Hundred Family Names" is ostensibly a child's enlightenment, but if it is implemented in the world, everyone knows the ranking of surnames on the hundred family names, and the effect can be countless times better than the "Clan Chronicles" of the father back then."

Empress Wu glanced at "Hundred Family Names" a few times again, and said with a smile: "This Li Qinzai is very talented, the compiled hundred family names are not only catchy, but also deliberately rank the surnames of the world's families behind, could it be that he deliberately caters to His Majesty's thoughts?" ”

Li Zhi laughed and said: "This young man is not only smart, but also has no shortage of heart and eyes, which is very agreeable. ”

Saying that, Li Zhi's expression was solemn, and he said: "Spread the decree to Shangshu Province, promulgate the "Hundred Family Names" to the world, and all states should post the "Hundred Family Names" in all states, counties and townships, and tell Shangshu Province that this move is only for the enlightenment of children in the world, and there is no other intention. ”

Empress Wu pursed her lips and chuckled.

The reason is very powerful, like covering your ears and stealing a bell. Just for children's enlightenment to use to post everywhere? Even the countryside and villages have posted it, why don't you see the "Thousand Character Text", which is also an enlightenment reading, posted everywhere?

Empress Wu's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, have you counted how much credit the grandson of the British Gong has made for the Tang Dynasty recently?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then muttered thoughtfully: "Divine arm bow, horseshoe, hundred family names, both civil and martial, and each one is a great achievement, this grandson of the British family is not simple, and the great talent of the country is ......"

Empress Wu nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, such a talented person must be reused, but you can't really let it be lazy and debauched. ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "Have you ever thought about the meaning of the British duke?" ”

Empress Wu's eyes widened: "Isn't it a good thing that your grandson is out of breath?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head: "The British public service is prominent, he actually doesn't want his grandson to be entrusted with a heavy position, he is afraid of Mu Xiu Yulin, and he is even more afraid that the Li family's authority is too heavy, which will lead me to suspicion." ”

Empress Wu frowned: "Your Majesty is not a narrow person, how can the old prince ......?"

"There is a car before the Duke of Weiguo Li Jing, how can the British Duke not take it as a warning?"

Empress Wu suddenly realized that Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, was the first hero of the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Eastern * Turks, and it was precisely because of his defeat of the Turks that his prestige in the army reached its peak.

Even if he is as broad-minded as Li Shimin, he has to hang his heart, after Li Jing's class returned to the court, the courtiers not only did not praise his merits, but participated in the impeachment of Li Jing's army and plunder, it is difficult to say whether it is Li Shimin's secret instruction behind it.

Later, Li Shimin and Li Jing closed the door and had a deep chat.

It is not known what the two talked about, but since then, Li Jing has handed over the right to relinquish the army, closed the door and thanked guests, until he died of old age, and never participated in military affairs and government affairs again.

From the position of the emperor, Li Shimin handled it like this, and it cannot be said that he was wrong. After all, Li Jing's existence does pose a threat to the imperial power, and his reputation in the army is too high, so high that just by ascending to the heights, thousands of troops are likely to help him overthrow the Tang Dynasty, which has not long been founded.

Li Shimin did not kill him, but let him live safely to the end of his life, in fact, it can also show that Li Shimin is indeed a broad-minded emperor, and it is not easy to do this.

Empress Wu finally understood the psychology of the British Duke Li Tao.

He was afraid of following in Li Jing's footsteps, and he was unwilling to let his grandson Li Qinzai have too much authority, all because of his fear of imperial power.

A family that fears imperial power can live a long time and prosper for a hundred years.

The older a person gets, the more refined he becomes, and Li Tao is undoubtedly a shrewd and intelligent old man.

After figuring out the reason, Empress Wu smiled and said: "Li Qinzai has no shortage of talent and ability, and it is the age when the sharp edge is revealed, the old man has stopped him once or twice, can he still stop him for the rest of his life?" ”

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and said: "Compiling a hundred family names is also a great achievement, and it must be rewarded, but for the sake of the British public's concerns, I can't reward it again......"

"With the intention of the people, Li Qin can advise the doctor, ride a horse in the palace, a goldfish bag, and a purple gold jade belt."

Saying that, Li Zhi paused, and then said, "Li Qinzai's son...... Is it an illegitimate child? ”

Empress Wu nodded: "Born of fornication with the maid, it is indeed an illegitimate child." ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "He loves the child so much, and he personally compiled the "Hundred Family Names" for the child, but he helped me a lot, and it stands to reason that the illegitimate child can't help but be rewarded." ”

"Let's give that kid the false title of 'Light Car Captain', if he grows up, if he is a talent, I will reuse it."

Empress Wu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is benevolent and generous, and the concubines are obedient." ”

Li Zhi smacked his lips, and suddenly smiled: "Speaking of which, I miss Li Qinzai a little, after the last contact with him, I know that he is also a second person, and there is something to be gained from chatting with him." ”

Empress Wu bowed her head and said: "The concubine has also heard His Majesty chatting with him, and there is indeed something in his words. However, the concubine heard that Li Qinzai was now in Zhuangzi in Weinan County, and after presiding over the autumn harvest of the Li family, Li Qinzai stayed in Zhuangzi and did not return to Chang'an. ”

"Then let go of the people to announce the decree, and then bring him to Chang'an, and I want to play against Li Qing."
