Chapter 216: Vernacular Newspaper
Half an hour later, Banjing Pavilion.
"Not good!"
Li Shanqing, the envoy of the Han people of the Jin Kingdom, hurried back and reported the news to the two Jurchens, Sandu and Boda: "The god of the Song Kingdom descended to the earth, and he held a history book and told the Emperor of the Song State about what would happen in the next few years!" ”
"What did Song Guoshen say? How many years to come? ”
After coming to the Song State, she was quite disdainful of the ministers and emperors of the Song State, and the emperor of their Jin State had no intention of forming an alliance with the Song State, and it was the Song State that drove the ship to the sea and took the initiative to form an alliance with them to attack Liao.
Sandu looked down on the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, but he didn't dare to despise the god who was full of divine light when he descended to the mortal!
Although it was only a god of the Han people, it had nothing to do with the gods that they believed in by the Jurchens!
Li Shanqing said quickly: "That god said that in the future, my Dajin will destroy the Liao Kingdom, the Song Kingdom, and the Bianjing City!" ”
"Can my Dajin Kingdom attack Bianjing City?!"
Sandu, Boda's eyes lit up.
They looked down on the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, but the prosperity of Bianjing City shocked them deeply, there are countless eating, drinking and entertainment here, far from being comparable to the cold and bitter north!
Li Shanqing hurriedly said again: "The god also said that not long after the Liao State was broken and went to Beijing, our emperor died of illness, and he said about the alliance, and now the emperor of the Song State no longer wants to form an alliance, they will turn to hatred for our Jin State, and it will be dangerous for us to stay in Bianjing!" ”
Only then did the two of them recover from their desire for the treasure women of Bianjing City, and discussed with each other what to do.
There is Liao between Song and Jin, and the sea ships belong to the Song Kingdom, so they can't go if they want to!
But the god also pointed out that the capital city of Song Guobian would be breached by the Jin soldiers, and they would definitely die if they stayed here!
"You can only take the risk of riding back!"
Looking at Sandu, Boda gritted his teeth and said, "The god of the Song Kingdom said that our Dajin Emperor will die of illness in a few years, and we must go back and tell the emperor about this matter quickly!" ”
After thinking for a moment, Sandu agreed.
The two immediately ordered the servants who had come to follow them, pack up their things, and quietly go out of the city, and the city gates will be closed later.
Li Shanqing didn't want to leave, and said to the two Jurchens:
"I intend to stay and argue with the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, and let them send a ship to take me back to Dajin. We're in two ways! ”
"Two ways to divide the soldiers? Are you afraid of being caught by thieves on the road! ”
Sandu was also disdainful of the Han who had taken refuge in him, and if he hadn't been familiar with the Chinese language, he would not have been brought with him on this mission.
"How could I be afraid?"
Li Shanqing defended himself and said some reasons indiscriminately.
Sandu and Boda became more and more disdainful of him, but time was pressing, and they didn't care about him, so after changing into Han clothes, they hurried to the city gate on horseback.
Bianjing City was full of people, and various lanterns were hung under the eaves, and people were vying to talk about Chu Xianguan.
The Jurchen envoys easily left the city and returned north at night.
Li Shanqing stayed alone in the Banjing Pavilion, waiting for the officers and soldiers of the Song State to arrest him.
I thought that someone would come soon, but he slept and got up, and it wasn't until the second day that a team of people surrounded Banjing Pavilion, and the general who led the troops was surnamed Gao, who was also a captain.
There were not many others in the Song Dynasty, but there were many Taiwei.
Li Shanqing, who had been prepared for a long time, walked out unhurriedly, bowed to the people of the Song Kingdom in three directions, and said:
"Everyone, I am also a Han person, now that our Han gods have appeared, it is easy to defeat the Jin Kingdom, I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"
Gao Yu, who was riding on a horse, stared at him for a long time, and after learning that the Jurchens had fled, he took him into the palace with hatred.
Li Shanqing met Zhao Ji.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Shanqing changed his title and bowed respectfully, "I was originally a Han from Liao, but I was captured by the Jurchens and forced to serve as a Jurchen envoy. Now that Chu Xianguan has appeared, my Han people will definitely be able to recover their homeland! ”
This is also the reason why people find comfort after learning of the panic after learning about the destruction of Bianjing City last night:
As long as Chu Xianguan is there, Bianjing City will be worry-free.
Some people who were afraid of the city and wanted to flee to the south also hesitated and stopped, continued to wait and see, and waited for ten days later the immortal official to descend again.
"Li Qing, please get up!"
Zhao Ji was very happy, thinking that it was the power of the immortal officials that made the Jurchen Han envoys immediately take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty!
As for the Jurchens who fled, let them escape, now it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to ally with Hulu anymore!
The backyard of the Li family.
Li Qingzhao, who was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, looked at the lotus flowers in the pool, and was counting how long ten days were, and the thoughts of him in his heart could only be transmitted through a small note.
"Can Chu Langjun receive a letter from the slave family?"
Li Qingzhao looked through the summons note again.
Chu Langjun said that as long as he wrote the words, he would be able to see and reply to her.
But now almost a night has passed, and there is still no reply from Hongyan.
"Girl!!"
The female envoy Taoqin ran in and said to her excitedly: "There are a lot of palace servants outside, and they have brought a lot of gift boxes, and the master urges the girl to go out to receive the order!" ”
“…… You should put it in front of you. ”
Li Qingzhao got up to tidy up her appearance, Taoqin hurriedly came up to help, and the two walked out.
The one who came to deliver the message was Liang Shicheng, who was known as the hidden phase, one of the six thieves that Sister Lin once said.
But now this hidden appearance is full of smiles on her father Li Gefei, and when he saw her come out, he immediately stood up to greet her.
"I'm here to congratulate the little lady!"
Liang Shicheng smiled and took the holy decree from the eunuch beside him.
Li Qingzhao heard that the official family praised her, and gave her to see the princes and ministers not to worship, and to be with the three divisions, and told her to enter the palace in ten days and wait for the Chu Xian official to go down to earth.
Li Qingzhao accepted the order, and secretly said in his heart, he was really embarrassed by those ministers in the court, who had not given unmarried women titles since ancient times, if she married an immortal official, it was okay, she could be called the wife of an immortal official, but now she can only be vaguely canonized, giving her the privilege of not worshipping the prince.
After Liang Shicheng and the eunuchs left, they left a courtyard full of gifts.
"Girl, a lot of money......"
Momokin's eyes lit up.
Li Qingzhao personally experienced what it was like for Sister Lin in the Grand View Garden to face the many gifts given by the emperor.
There are so many that I can't fit in the room!
……
Haicheng.
"Can Chu Langjun receive a letter from the slave family?"
"Tell Uncle Chu, Qin Xiangu's funeral has begun, the emperor has approved it, and the Yin and Yang Division of Qin Tianjian has set a date to open a water and land dojo for forty-nine and a half days."
"Mr. Chu, today I will go to the East Palace for a banquet, and rest assured, I have already prepared."

Chu Zhen, who had just returned home, automatically appeared in the time and space history book, and then received a message from the three of them with a summoning note.
Li Shimin sent a total of three sentences, the first sentence was to ask him if he had received it, the second sentence was to go to the banquet, and the third sentence was to report his safety, and said that he would wait for him to reply to the message.
Chu Zhen sat down and wrote a message back to Li Qingzhao first: "I just got home, how long has it been since you were there?" ”
Judging from Li Shimin's news, the lag of the interrogation note is simply outrageous.
Give Sister Lin back again:
"Forty-nine and a half? Wouldn't your sister Qin have to cry every day? What about you? If you're tired, don't go too much, just say it's what I said! ”
In ancient times, the spirit was suspended for three days or seven days, and the emperor was suspended for several months, or even a year.
Now Ningguofu, no, it is Emperor Yong'an who decreed that the monks of each temple should do a forty-nine and a half days of water and land dojos for Qin Xiangu, and all Taoist temples should also recite the scriptures for the same amount of time, needless to say, it is grand.
Qin Keqing was afraid that she was not going to collapse, she attended her own funeral, and she had to cry every day.
The people of Ning Rongguo's Mansion will be tossed.
It is estimated that everyone in the Grand View Garden will also go to a stick of incense every morning and evening.
Chu Zhen didn't participate, and only went to the burial once, and buried the sister of the police illusion fairy Gu as a Chu immortal.
After thinking about it, Chu Zhen wrote with a Spring and Autumn pen and asked Li Shimin: "Has King Qi prepared poisonous wine for you?" How did you deal with it? ”
In the history books, Li Shimin vomited several liters of blood after drinking poisonous wine in the East Palace, and was helped back by Li Shentong, while Li Yuan only said lightly, "King Qin is not good at drinking, drink less in the future."
Some people questioned the falsity of the poisoned wine incident, but after the Xuanwu Gate, the person in charge of the meal in the East Palace was specially ordered to be executed by Li Shimin.
Chu Zhen told him about the poisonous wine, and now Li Shimin is ready to go to the banquet.
After sitting for a while, I didn't receive any information from them, only a call from Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty.
Soon after.
Chu Zhen came to Yingtianfu, appeared in the Huagai Hall of the Forbidden City, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang who was watching the folds behind the desk, and the prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting in front of him and listening to the lecture.
When he came suddenly, the eunuchs in the palace were taken aback, and after seeing that it was him, they hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Chu Zhenjun!" ”
The sound alarmed the father and son.
"Chu Zhenjun!"
Zhu Biao hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded plainly and said, "Coming?" He stood up and beckoned him to walk towards the sofa lounge.
The palace maid came to serve tea.
Chu Zhen casually said thank you, didn't drink it first, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao with a smile: "What's the matter with summoning me this time?" ”
The note is precious, and the four of them will not use it at will, Lin Daiyu used it once on the day of the Lantern Festival before, because she hadn't seen him for several months.
"It's the newspaper that's done!"
Zhu Biao took out the prepared newspaper and handed it over.
Chu Zhen took it and looked at it, and saw that it was all plain language, not classical Chinese, and punctuation marks were added between the sentences and paragraphs, and a picture of "sun, earth, moon" drawn by someone unknown was used to explain the causes of the solar and lunar eclipse.
The typography is vertical and reads from right to left.
On the whole, it is very similar to the style of newspapers in the Republic of China.
"Don't write in Chinese?"
Chu Zhen looked at the father and son with some surprise, the most powerful father and son in the Ming Dynasty, unanimously agreed to write a newspaper in the vernacular?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak first, and sat on the single sofa opposite Chu Zhen, with his two hands on the armrests.
The whole big guy sits.
Zhu Biaoxian said: "Considering that the newspaper is for ordinary people, and the common people are not literate, my father decided to use colloquialisms instead of written texts. ”
In ancient times, there was no concept of classical Chinese, but it was only after the pandemic in the Ming Dynasty that plain vernacular writing was gradually spread.
Press is also limited, serious articles are still in classical Chinese.
Chu Zhen smiled: "The ministers of the DPRK and China have no objections? ”
The modern way of writing was gradually formed after the vernacular movement initiated by Lu Xun and Hu Shi.
Of course, Chu Zhen did not have the idea of reprinting "Diary of a Madman" to Daming Newspaper for the time being.
"There is opposition."
Zhu Biao glanced at his father and said to Chu Zhen: "I'm against it too!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him.
Chu Zhen said with a smile while reading the newspaper: "Vernacular literature, that is, these common sayings, are gradually formed by ordinary people after the evolution of successive dynasties, and classical Chinese has rarely changed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and people have learned it from generation to generation. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both looked at him.
"This led to a division between the literati and the common people, and the more obvious the difference between vernacular and classical Chinese, the more difficult it was to learn."
Chu Zhen said: "I think that the Ming Dynasty began to popularize the vernacular on a large scale, which is not unrelated to this difference. Of course, it is also thanks to the development of printing and the low publication tax set by Zhu Yuanzhang. ”
The true monarch calls the saint by his name.
The eunuchs around quietly glanced at His Majesty and saw that His Majesty was not angry.
"The literati are separated from the common people."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask: "Will it be disadvantageous to the country?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang is also thinking about this problem.
"The advantages and disadvantages of the two, presumably the court officials can see it."
Chu Zhen said: "Later generations wrote in the vernacular, but classical Chinese was also taught in schools, which is a must-learn knowledge, as long as it is not an obscure word, you can also roughly understand classical Chinese." ”
He didn't explain what vernacular or classical Chinese was, but no one was a fool and could understand what he meant.
Many of the new words Chu Zhen said did not need to be explained.
"Will I be popular in the vernacular in the future? Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked him.
"Yes. Many excellent ones appeared in the Ming Dynasty, no worse than Tang and Song poems. ”
"Then it is settled, the newspaper for the people is written in the vernacular!"
Hearing that it was no worse than Tang and Song poems, Zhu Yuanzhang made a final decision.
Then he said: "In the future, all the edicts that are issued in various places and read to the people will also be written in the vernacular!" ”
"Father!"
Zhu Biao hurriedly objected: "This is too fast, it is better to test it with a newspaper first, and publish it in Yingtianfu, if the people say it is good, it is not too late to implement it slowly!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him, and Zhu Biao said a few more objections before he finally changed his mind.
Chu Zhen witnessed the process of communication and compromise between the father and son, and sure enough, it was still Zhu Biao and Queen Ma who could persuade Emperor Hongwu!
