On February 15, this is a memorable day, Kong Yingda officially presented the dictionary to His Majesty,

This dictionary is the master dictionary made by Li Shen alone, and the whole book is one foot wide and one foot five high.

The outside is decorated with gold and silver, and the four characters of the Tang dictionary are carved.

This dictionary is ingenious, it was made by Li Shen a long time ago, and it is just right for Kong Yingda to use today.

At first, Li Shen originally wanted to be a little more extravagant and make a book out of gold leaves, but later he realized what a panicked idea it was.

The golden book, which is one foot five high, one foot wide, and half a foot thick, has at least more than 800 catties.

When the craftsman told him this number, Li Shen was stunned. I didn't say anything for a long time.

Whoever can pick up eight hundred catties to see, it is a problem to carry it, and if it is put in the royal treasury for treasure, it can only be placed on the ground, and the shelves have to collapse.

Li Shen couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being uneducated, which was terrible.

That's why there is today's book dedicated by Kong Yingda,

The dedication dictionary was made very grand by Kong Yingda, originally Kong Yingda also found Li Shen yesterday and asked him to attend today.

But he was rejected by Li Shenyizheng's words, this book was written by you, and it has nothing to do with this king, so he is not ready to go.

and told Kong Yingda not to mention his name, he didn't dare to take credit.

“..... My Tang River is magnificent, the territory is vast, Your Majesty has become a martial artist, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is a sign of great prosperity in the world.

....... Chen Tejin presents a dictionary, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can learn the book of sages. ”

Kong Yingda said a lot before he raised this dictionary above his head, a very grand marching gift.

The ministers of the court present didn't understand why Kong Yingda was so grand, and they also heard that Kong Yingda had been writing a book similar to explaining words and characters over the years.

It's just that everyone already has this kind of book before, and even if you add some text, it's not a big deal.

"Kong Aiqing, I don't know what these talismans in this book are?" Li Shimin took Wang De and handed over the dictionary, opened it and looked at it a few times.

asked with a blank face.

"Your Majesty, this is the subtlety of this dictionary, please let Lao Chen interpret it." Kong Yingda said.

His Majesty immediately got to the point.

"Okay, Kong Aiqing come up." Li Shimin nodded.

Kong Yingda cautiously walked up the steps to Li Shimin, pointed with his finger and began to explain to Li Shimin;

"Your Majesty, we call this pinyin, this we call the initials, and this we call the finals.

As long as you master the method of spelling these two pronunciations, you can know what the words in this dictionary are pronounced, and there are detailed annotations.

And that's ......"

Kong Yingda began to explain in detail to Li Shimin,

Li Shen's dictionary is actually different from later generations, and many words are different from modern times, but these Kong Yingda naturally has his own methods.

It took a while for Kong Yingda to finish explaining to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded with great satisfaction.

"Well, I understand a little, your dictionary can be used for literacy, and you can also look up this word according to the graphics of this word, and then know what this word reads and what is the solution.

It's really exquisite, Kong Aiqing is really old and serious, you can think of such a clever plan,

This book can not only be looked up, but also can be studied on your own.

It's just that this method still needs to be taught. ”

Hearing Li Shimin's approval, Kong Yingda smiled, and then said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything has been arranged, and at present, we are only taking the lead in the new academy built by King Ji's Mansion.

If it is useful, Guozijian will go to other states and counties.

We have trained hundreds of instructors so far, and we are preparing to leave for the new academy. ”

"Okay, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, after Kong Aiqing is worthy of being a saint, of course I will not be stingy.

I took out 100,000 yuan to help Kong Aiqing promote the dictionary,

Intended purpose, Guozi priest wine Kong Yingda, wrote a dictionary meritorious, a bounty, a thousand silk silks, ten pieces of white porcelain, ten pearls,

A gold plaque was given to Houde, and it was sent to the states and counties. ”

Li Shimin was also very happy and rewarded Kong Yingda.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Kong Yingda was also very excited, money doesn't matter, His Majesty personally gave a gold plaque of virtue, and there was also a report to the states and counties.

He's going to go down in history.

This matter will be recorded by the historian, and he will feel his blood boiling when he thinks about it.

Half of the officials present did not have very good faces, these people were all big families, and even included the Shandong Shi clan.

Kong Yingda is digging their roots, they are counting on the scholars to maintain the family, but the chances of joining the scholars will be reduced if they all study in the future.

But on the other hand, the Confucian family will not be affected, after they are saints, the more people read the books of the saints, the higher their Confucian status will be.

However, they have no reason to refute, and they dare not refute, they are a family, but the Confucian family has also experienced thousands of years.

It can be said that the Kong family is more powerful than these families in some aspects, and they can't move others.

Li Shimin was even happier in his heart, he had long known about the dictionary, when Li Shen conspired with Kong Yingda,

Li Shimin knew about it, and Li Shen also told him,

Everything he did today was to show that he didn't know about it, and he put all the credit on Kong Yingda.

In order to protect his son behind the scenes, even if the family knows that there must be Li Shen's share in this,

But let them think that the biggest credit goes to Kong Yingda and his team.

The matter of Kong Yingda, the priest of the country, offering a dictionary, soon spread in the outside world, just when everyone didn't understand what a dictionary was,

Li Shen's Datang Daily published an article praising Kong Yingda nationwide.

wrote down the situation in the court at that time, including His Majesty's Longyan Dayue, and ordered Kong Yingda to be rewarded with a generous reward,

There are also plaques of virtue and so on.

And describes the detailed role of the dictionary, which can make people who don't know how to read and write, and those who know how to read can understand the meaning, and in the future, they can understand seven seven or eight without teaching in reading ancient books.

This made all the students in the world cheer, and Kong Yingda's reputation was unprecedentedly high.

"Lord Wang, your trick is really wonderful, now the outside world is praising Kong Yingda, and no one mentions you, Lord Wang.

It seems that even the family thinks that Kong Yingda did this. ”

In King Ji's mansion, Wang Hongfu patted his ass and said.

"The minister thinks that it is impossible for the family not to think of the prince, but this matter mainly lies in Kong Yingda, so they have no way to make a move.

Otherwise, they are enemies of the world's readers, even if they are a thousand-year-old family, they can't compete with the world's readers.

They are also afraid of being left behind for thousands of years, and the pen of a reader is sometimes much more terrible than a knife.

The ministers were afraid that they would not be able to provoke the Kong family and come to us for trouble. Wang Xuance is not so optimistic.

"It doesn't matter, this king will go to the northwest in a few days, and they can't find this king, if they provoke this king in the northwest, this king will not dare to kill them? Joke.

Let's just wait slowly, don't worry, this king is only eighteen years old, and there is time, and they will slowly be consumed.

We'll see. ”
