Chapter 22: The Old Man Returns from the Underworld
Song Lian held the "Xinhua Dictionary" in his hand, as if it was an ornament.
The guests were curious and didn't know what it was.
But this old man doesn't seem to plan to introduce it.
The leader banquet started normally, first saying some scenes, with beautiful rhetoric and sincere emotions.
I have to say that Song Lian didn't live in vain at his age, and his basic skills were very solid, so Zhao Cheng couldn't help but feel touched when he heard these words.
But it's a pity that Zhao Cheng's classical Chinese obviously didn't arrive at home, and some things were inaudible.
I can only sigh secretly, I am worthy of being the leader of readers in this era, and the export is a gorgeous article.
Very strong!
The mountains look up, and the scenery stops!
Nothing more than that.
However, it didn't take long for the admiration to completely subvert the image of Song Lian Gaoren.
After the gorgeous scene, he said a lot about "resurrection from the dead", but when he talked about the past, it was all like that.
“……
Deeply feeling the emperor's grace, he had no shame to face His Majesty, so he refused to thank him.
……
Your Majesty is loving, and God has mercy......
Later, the mother of the earth sent the old decay back to the yang, and asked the old decay to continue to benefit the common people in the world......"
Roughly something like this:
Regarding the old man's "death and resurrection", the old man said simply, everyone who understands it.
As for why the old man "died and rose again", it doesn't matter, you just know.
In short, all in all, this is the case, and this is the case now.
Specifically, everyone has seen it.
Because of this matter, the old man also had to say a few words.
Perhaps, you don't understand it very well, but that's what it means.
Don't come and ask the old man, you are specific about your own products.
In short, it's just a sentence, everyone who understands it.
……
Zhao Cheng finally understood what nonsense literature was.
This thing is by no means only a few hundred years later.
At least, there are already in this era.
The old gentleman said a nonsense, as smelly and long as the headmaster's speech at the beginning of the school hundreds of years later, and finally ended in the applause of the guests.
Actually, this is the characteristic of this era.
Especially when it comes to writing memora.
I always have to write some gorgeous text in front of me, make something specious, and only after half a day of ink will the key point be revealed at the end.
Regarding this, the Eight Emperors definitely have something to say!
No, after Mr. Song finished his gorgeous article, he slowly raised his hand, only to realize that he was holding something in his hand.
"Taishi Gong, what have you been holding in your hands?"
A marquis has been extremely curious since he saw this "Xinhua Dictionary", and now that Song Lian has finished his tirade, of course he wants to ask.
"Oh?!"
Song Lian was still pretending to be stunned for a moment, then reacted and introduced: "This is the old man's painstaking work. ”
Although he is old, he doesn't blink his eyes, his face doesn't blink, and his heart doesn't beat faster when he tells lies.
Obviously, if you live for a long time, the old thing is not thin-skinned!
I'm afraid it has to be as thick as the Great Wall!
Zhao Cheng sat quietly, watching with interest as this shameless old thing performed.
A painstaking effort?
he tui!
It's good to lie to others, but remember not to lie to yourself.
This thing, given to you for ten lifetimes, you may not be able to get it.
However, if there are ten lifetimes, a lifetime of seventy or eighty years, maybe it is possible to witness, and even participate in the compilation!
"Tai Shi Gong's painstaking work?"
The guests were shocked, after many years, did Tai Shi Gong make a masterpiece again?
"The old man is ashamed of the vast emperor's grace, and he has always had the idea of thanking His Majesty with death,
In order not to bring this thing into the coffin, some samples were left along the way.
Now the queen of heaven has asked the old man to return to the yang, and it is also for this dictionary......"
Song Taishi talked eloquently, talking nonsense in a serious manner, saying that God had given him a mission and what he wanted him to do......
Zhao Cheng couldn't help blushing when he heard this.
This old thing, in order to make up a story, even this kind of BUG has to be filled.
Really, it's hard for you.
However, before you were exiled, some simplified books were given away, right?
It was found later, how do you explain it?
Aren't you afraid of goofs?
Zhao Cheng frowned, always feeling that this old man was dancing on the tip of the knife.
Is it really a fool to be a Jinyiwei?
Sooner or later, it will be found.
Simplifying Chinese characters, this thing is too obvious.
Although Zhu Biao regarded the demon book as a divine book, he did not spread the content of the book.
Even if Zhu Chongba wanted to check it, the prince could withstand the pressure strongly, even if he was beaten to death, he would not obey.
But simplified Chinese characters, as well as this kind of book like a divine book, will always find Zhao Cheng's head.
Doesn't this show that there is a relationship between Zhao Cheng and Song Lian in a way?!
No matter what era or world, there will be no absolute secrets.
If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do!
This kind of very simple truth, Zhao Cheng naturally understands.
He scattered a lot of books along the way, and he didn't think about what was hidden.
It doesn't make much sense!
At least, in Zhao Cheng's view, it is very important for more people to know simplified Chinese characters, which is very important for the future implementation of education!
In particular, there are more than 100,000 books in his system space!
These things, Zhao Cheng can't just let them go.
In the future, it is necessary to build a large library.
At least in its own sphere of influence, this library will erupt with terrifying power.
And if you want to expand this power as much as possible, then understanding simplified Chinese is the most important thing!
……
"The old man has been sick since he was a child, and his family is poor, so he can't afford to read, so he can often only borrow books from large families to read.
Because of the short time, in many cases it can only be transcribed temporarily......
I think everyone knows this experience. ”
Song Lian introduced himself, his life is legendary, he has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is known as a prodigy.
But his experience of studying was indeed very difficult.
"Taishi Gong is difficult to read, and I really admire the diligence of reading......"
"Admire!"
Originally, I was asking what kind of painstaking god work, but somehow it turned into an inspirational story.
The guests were still wondering, but the sedan chair was lifted by everyone!
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning......"
The old man's beard was floating, and Zhao Cheng was not embarrassed to expose him.
"In fact, at that time, the old man had a dream of writing books for the world."
As soon as Mr. Song's tone changed, he inexplicably became noble.
This time, before everyone could praise him, the old man said to himself:
"When the old man was studying, the old man felt that these words were too cumbersome, not easy to read, and inconvenient to write......
Because it is difficult for the old man to read, the old man thought about making it easier for people in the world to read, whether he could make these words more dexterous, easier to write, and more convenient to understand......"
There seemed to be a kind of light on Song Lian's body, very bright, and for a while, even Zhao Cheng was not sure if he was making up a story or telling the truth.
There is a sense of "two rabbits walking on the ground, and An can tell that I am male and female"!
Listening to Song Taishigong's words, the guests were inexplicably quiet.
Make it easier for people all over the world to read!
Such a great ambition is incomparably great!
Because it is difficult to read by myself, I want to make it easier for others to read.
Such feelings are also extremely precious.
But these people, who do not know the status of the reader? Who doesn't understand why a scholar has such a status?
Isn't it just that it's hard to read?
If reading is not difficult, and everyone is a reader, doesn't that mean that everyone is not a reader?!
Just as Zhao Cheng once guessed.
Some people are overwhelmed by Taishi Gong's lofty status and ideals, and some people are worried about themselves and whether the foundation of their ancestors will be shaken......
Of course, there are also many people who don't care and don't think it's a big deal!
For example, Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongchang, looked at all parties with a smile on his face.
If Taishi Gong makes it easier for people in the world to read, it will definitely be for the benefit of the people in the world.
As for whose foundation has been shaken, whose cake has been dug up?
Gong Changhou also knows it!
Not his anyway.
Most of the military generals and marquis in the court today are basically poor peasants, and they have achieved class leaps by relying on their outstanding military exploits.
It is not difficult for people in the world to study, and this has nothing to do with them.
Or in a way, it's particularly beneficial to them.
At the very least, it weakened the terrifying position of the scholars.
From this point of view, I am afraid that today's saint will fully support the promotion of Taishi Gong's painstaking work!
"Originally, the old man wanted to start from the vulgar characters for decades to see if he could make the Chinese characters vulgar.
But the old man has worked hard for decades, after all, it is a fool's dream,
But just when the old man was about to give up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showed the old man some divine texts,
Those divine texts are too mysterious, and there is heaven and earth in every stroke, which is indescribably wonderful.
Inspired by the divine text, the old man combined decades of hard work to create this "Xinhua Dictionary......
Now, because of the credit of this "Xinhua Dictionary", the old man returned from the underworld and spent the rest of his life to benefit all the people in the world with this dictionary. ”
The more the old gentleman talked, the more amazing it became, and the more outrageous it became, everyone was stunned.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has obtained a divine book, which is not a secret in the imperial court.
The divine book is written in the Divine Scriptures, in the Ganges.
Taishi Gong is the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is normal for students to consult the teacher.
But you said that you were inspired by the divine text to create a divine book, and then this divine book blessed you and raised you from the dead......
You can't be so deceitful!
……
It's a bizarre story, but it's also simple.
At least, Tai Shi Gong crawled out of the coffin, this matter is true!
As for whether the story is believed or not, it is unknown.
But Zhao Cheng was sure that the one from Ying Tianfu would not believe it.
What is the truth, the Eight Emperors know it.
However, the emperor is still wondering, how did Song Lian, the old horseman, escape?
He detoxified the poison of Heding Red?
Still didn't drink it at all......
As for whether it would be his subordinates, Zhu Chongba didn't doubt it at all.
Hmph, Emperor Hongwu doesn't have the ability to recognize people, what else is he messing with!
If this story was transmitted to Ying Tianfu and Zhu Chongba's ears, he would definitely have new conjectures.
Song Lian, the bastard, has the "Xinhua Dictionary" in his hand, and the traitor Zhao Cheng must be involved in this matter.
Emperor Hongwu is not stupid, and neither are the adults present!
Many people looked at each other and remained silent.
Even that Marquis Gong Chang would always look at Zhao Cheng with deep meaning!
Zhao Cheng lowered his head and drank wine, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maybe how to deal with Song Lian?
Maybe how to escape from Wuchang?
Or are you thinking about what is the purpose of this old guy Song Lian? Why did he do it!
Song Lian is still telling stories, arrangements, deployments, and how he will promote the content of this divine book and benefit all the people in the world.
We started recruiting partners on the spot and were ready to go big.
As for the consequences of this story, he also knows it.
But he said it anyway.
Zhao Cheng rescued him, and he helped Zhao Cheng promote the simplification of Chinese characters.
Here's the deal.
In a way, he doesn't owe Zhao Cheng anything!
As for whether he will tear his face with Zhao Cheng, will Zhao Cheng kill him......
These are the problems that he is also afraid of.
Even, Song Lian was afraid that Zhao Cheng would suddenly jump up and kill him directly on the spot.
Zhao Cheng drank the wine one by one, his face became dark, and there was a strange light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
