I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

At that time, anyone who has learned phonetic notation will be able to look up the pronunciation and interpretation of all characters through the word book without having to ask others for advice.

Even for ordinary people, as long as they spend some time mastering phonetic notation, as long as they have calligraphy books in hand, their literacy rate will be greatly improved.

In the long run, people from all over the country will learn the same way of pronunciation, and the language communication of the people of Dayan will become more barrier-free.”

"Wait, Gu Aiqing, let me smooth it out

You mean, there are only dozens of initials and finals you just mentioned? "

"Correct!"

Gu Ming nodded.

"As long as you memorize and be familiar with these dozens of initials and finals, you can phoneticize all the characters, and you can check their pronunciation and meaning through the word book?"

"Yes, but the word book needs to be carefully arranged to make it easy for people to look up"

“Great, great”

In fact, at this time, the emperor is still a little foggy, but it does not prevent his heart from beating wildly.

Among the emperors in history, apart from a few ignorant and incompetent emperors, who didn't have the dream of "Qin Huang Han Wu"?

Qin Shihuang is known as the one emperor through the ages, who ruled the world, unified characters and weights and measures, and his merits will last for thousands of years.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expanded the territory, reformed the currency system, established the reign title, opened the Silk Road, created the glory of the Han Dynasty, and was honored as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty by later generations.

It can be said that the brilliance of these two great emperors is truly unprecedented. No matter how hard the emperors of later generations governed the country, it would be difficult for them to achieve such heights.

But now, Emperor Yongping's thoughts began to come alive, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

The first emperor unified the characters, so now, he is in charge of unifying the languages ​​of the north and the south, unifying the pronunciation and meaning of the words, which is probably a great cause that will benefit the people throughout the ages.

Once this is achieved, it will inevitably leave a strong mark in history and be passed down through the ages.

At that time, I'm afraid it's not just Qin Huang Han Wu, but Qin Huang Han Wu Yongping Emperor?

The Son of Heaven is high above, but it doesn't mean that the Son of Heaven won't be yy

"Hahaha!"

Thinking of the happy place, Emperor Yongping couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to pat Gu Ming's shoulder affectionately: "Gu Aiqing, Gu Aiqing, you are really my lucky general!

In this way, I will call a few more people to come and study this phonetic notation with you.

If it is really feasible, then come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible, and I will definitely support it with all my strength! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise!"

"Come on!"

"The servant is here!"

Li Chen immediately stepped forward.

"Quickly go and pass on Master Yu, the Minister of State, Tang Shu, a cabinet scholar, Zheng Rui of the Imperial Academy, and Shen Zhixing, the Imperial Supervisor."

Emperor Yongping announced the names of seven people in one breath, all of whom were talented officials of the dynasty.

"According to the order!"

Li Chen had to leave.

"Gu Aiqing, if the plan of unifying the pronunciation of the language you mentioned just now is feasible, will it be difficult to promote it?"

Gu Ming thought for a while, and said: "It may be difficult at the beginning, and it is impossible to popularize it in a short time, but if special methods are used among scholars, it is relatively easy."

"Special means? What kind of special means?"

"This minister dare not say it!"

Emperor Yongping's face sank, and he pretended to be sullen and said, "Gu Aiqing, when we're talking about this, you're actually cheating on me?"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm a traitor, it's just that the special method I mentioned may cause a turmoil between the government and the opposition."

Hearing this, Emperor Yongping was stunned: "Aiqing, what crazy idea do you have, that it will cause turmoil in the government and the public?"

"Cough, this"

"Come on, don't you just want me to forgive you for your innocence?"

"Xie Huangshangchen means that if phonetic notation is added to the content of the scientific examination, it will become a subject that scholars must learn."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yongping immediately changed his face.

"Gu Aiqing, you really dare to say anything, the imperial examination is the foundation of the imperial court's selection of officials, how can you change the rules at will?

Once the situation gets out of control, even I may not be able to bear the consequences. "

After all, he still lacked a little courage.

However, it is true that few emperors dared to take this big risk. The imperial examinations involved too many aspects, not only involving the fate of the world's students, but also involving the rise and fall of a dynasty.

Since this is the case, Gu Ming can only take a step back and wait until the time is ripe before drawing it slowly.

"Your Majesty, there is another method, and the effect may be good."

Emperor Yongping nodded: "Well, as long as it doesn't involve the imperial examination, everything else is easy to talk about."

"If the phonetic notation scheme is feasible, would the emperor be willing to spend some time learning it?"

"If this is not too difficult, I will naturally set an example."

Gu Ming smiled: "Don't worry, your majesty, I can guarantee that this phonetic notation scheme is not difficult at all, as long as you memorize it well, you can use it proficiently.

Since the emperor is willing to set an example, then, I have a proposal

At that time, the minister can enter the palace from time to time to explain phonetic notation to the princes and princesses in the form of lectures.

On the Imperial College side, a group of students with special identities can also be selected to learn phonetic notation.

In this way, it is equivalent to the emperor hinting to the ministers in the court and the world about the direction of the wind."

Emperor Yongping was not stupid, he was immediately taken aback when he heard this.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, even I am learning, why don't those ministers not learn?

But I didn't force them, so they have no reason to babble."

"The emperor is wise, in fact, as long as this matter is started, it will be easy to handle later.

In addition to the emperor, the prince, princess, little prince, and little princess are all learning, so it will lead a trend, even a trend.

At that time, many people will naturally follow suit.”

"Not bad, what Ai Qing said is very true!"

Emperor Yongping nodded with satisfaction.

Chapter 245 A historic moment!

Afterwards, Gu Ming wrote all the initials and finals on the paper, so that the ministers could start discussions after they came.

After writing it, he briefly explained it to Emperor Yongping, including four tones: Yinping, Yangping, Shangsheng and Qusheng.

At first, Emperor Yongping was a little confused.

But after listening for a while, I finally heard something.

To put it bluntly, the pinyin scheme itself is not complicated, it is the most basic enlightenment teaching, and children of all ages can learn it, let alone an emperor who has read poetry and books.

"My Majesty, Lord Shen and Lord Yu are here!"

"pass!"

Later, several other ministers also arrived one after another.

After everyone gathered, Gu Ming began to explain the phonetic notation scheme in the imperial study from the shallower to the deeper, and listed some representative characters plus phonetic notation and tones.

The initial reaction of the few courtiers was the same as that of the emperor, with a look of bewilderment.

But after hearing it, especially after Gu Ming gave an example and marked some words one by one with pinyin, he suddenly regained his energy.

In particular, Shen Zhixing, whose calligraphy skills are quite profound, few people can match, and soon realized the value and prospect of this phonetic system.

In addition, I have always had a good impression of Gu Ming, so I was the first to post a compliment: "Okay, that's great, Gu Xueshi is really a formidable young man, and he was able to come up with such a wonderful method."

Yu Wei also nodded slightly: "Well, yes, it should work."

Next, a group of people expressed their opinions and began to discuss.

After discussing until dark, the opinions finally reached a consensus.

Emperor Yongping finally showed his courage, and immediately issued an imperial decree, ordering Gu Ming, Yu Wei, Shen Zhixing and others to take the lead, and the cabinet, Imperial Academy, and Guozijian worked together to formulate and compile a standard official phonetic phonetic scheme and corresponding calligraphy books .

This is a historic moment!

For Gu Ming, it will also be a moment of special significance.

However, any new thing cannot escape an iron law, and it will always be full of twists and turns.

As soon as the news spread, all the ministers immediately exploded

In particular, those who were jealous of Gu Ming handed in memorials one after another, fully opposing the implementation of the Zhuyin plan.

For this, Emperor Yong Le had already been mentally prepared, and secretly ordered the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor to suppress such memorials, or it was perfunctory.

But how could these ministers let someone go?

Since the emperor is lazy to read the memorial, he will report it face to face in the early court.

in the afternoon.

Kunning Palace.

"The Emperor is here!"

With a shout of neither male nor female, all the maids of Kunning Palace rushed out to welcome them.

The empress was playing the piano in her bedroom, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard that the emperor had arrived. While arranging her appearance, she walked to the courtyard to greet her.

"Chen and concubine welcome the emperor!"

"Queen" Emperor Yongping smiled and stepped forward to hold the queen's hand and said: "Accompany me to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to see the queen mother."

"Well, just right, I haven't had dinner with my queen for a long time."

Not long after, the couple arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning surrounded by a group of court ladies.

After some etiquette, Emperor Yongping sat down at the table with his mother and empress and prepared to eat.

After chatting for a few words, the queen mother couldn't help but smiled and said: "Imperial son, if Ai's family remembers correctly, it's time to go to court tomorrow?"

"Yes, queen mother."

"It's no wonder that Huang'er will come to eat with Ai's family, isn't it a little uneasy?"

"Uh"

"Emperor, you are the emperor, as long as you think something is right, you should be decisive.

The opinions of courtiers are important, but it is also necessary to analyze whether their opinions are public or selfish.

You must be here because of that phonetic notation, right? "

Emperor Yongping couldn't help laughing and said: "The empress mother's eyesight is right, these ministers have ignored all the memorials opposing the phonetic notation in recent days, presumably these ministers are all holding their breath, and they will join forces to remonstrate tomorrow morning.

This matter, Erchen's mind has been decided and will never change.

It's just that there are many opponents this time, and the son doesn't want to make troubles all over the court, so I want to ask the queen mother to give some advice. "

Hearing this, the queen mother did not answer directly, but shouted: "Xiao Dezi!"

"exist!"

Xiao Dezi hurried forward.

"In front of the emperor, you recite those initials and finals."

"Yes!"

Xiao Dezi responded, cleared his throat, and began to recite: "b, b, m, f, d, t, n,, g, k, h, j, q, x, zh, g, ing ,ong"

"Emperor, listen, it took only two days for Xiao Dezi to memorize memorization, and he can also write it down silently, so this set of phonetic notation is not difficult to learn.

Therefore, I believe Huang'er knows what to do. "
