In the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, Li Si was talking eloquently.
The First Emperor listened carefully.
The same goes for Wang Wan. They think it is an honor to participate in it.
After all, the reformed text will be remembered forever.
The only way to win is to be careless.
He is very self-aware, and he is not good at these trivial things. Moreover, he has done too many things, so naturally he needs other people to play their part.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Ying Shu looked at the people present. Everyone present had different identities, but including the First Emperor, without exception, they were all top-notch calligraphers.
Except him!
The seal script is too difficult to write.
This gave Ying Shu a bit of a headache. Even though he practiced it for a long time in his spare time, it was still a bit miserable.
The words he wrote can only be understood.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shu rarely shows off in this aspect.
The First Emperor and others knew this.
"Everyone here is a master of calligraphy, so you can all express your thoughts!" Li Si glanced at Ying Shu, feeling rather resentful that iron cannot become steel.
As his student, Ying Shu was poor at writing, which made Li Si dissatisfied for a long time.
"Especially Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha......."
As soon as these words came out, the First Emperor laughed first, followed by everyone except Hu Wujing.
Because everyone else has worked with Ying Shu.
Naturally, he knew how "profound" Ying Shu's attainments in calligraphy were.
"Li Xiang is right. As the leader of the younger generation of our Great Qin, you should express your thoughts more on this point!" The First Emperor also followed suit.
Hu Wujing looked confused and was about to speak, but Zhao Gao stopped him secretly.
Seeing Hu Wujing looking over, Zhao Gao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's words are terrible, don't say more!"
"Thank you!"
"Father, teacher, Shu is just a martial artist!"
Ying Shu smiled bitterly.
He naturally saw that not only Li Si was dissatisfied with his calligraphy, but also the First Emperor. Even Zhao Gao and Cheng Miao felt that his calligraphy could not be put on the stage.
"Everyone here is a great master of grammar. They are among the best calligraphers in the world. How can I compare with you!"
"snort!"
The First Emperor snorted coldly: "Of all the generals in the Qin Army, you have the ugliest calligraphy!"
"Moreover, you are no longer a military commander, but a civil servant!"
"..."
Taking an embarrassed sip of tea, Ying Shu smiled bitterly and said, "I hope that the teacher and everyone can make it as simple as possible when rewriting the text!"
"Although official documents are important, the existence of words lies in dissemination!"
"The empire will definitely promote writing in the future. Those Guizhou people can't even read a single big character. Moreover, enlightenment will become simpler and easier for people to accept in the future!"
"The most important responsibility of words is to pass on!"
"Hahaha........"
With a loud laugh, Li Si and others no longer joked about winning tricks, but returned to the topic: "Feng Chang is in charge of the country's civil affairs. This matter should be completed by the CRRC Order and the Censor to assist Feng Chang!"
"First, use the Great Seal Script as the benchmark to comprehensively determine the writing of the seven countries!"
"Check and fill in the gaps, and finally determine the total number of Chinese characters!"
At this moment, Hu Wujing also stood up, saluted to the First Emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, I thought we should allocate manpower to set up a calligraphy survey office!"
"To determine the benchmark of writing, we need to sort out the historical context of the formation of writing, and determine it by referring to the number of current writings, meaning, shape, and whether the writing is clear!"
"This requires a huge workload, at least one hundred and fifty people!"
"Um!"
The First Emperor also nodded and sighed, "This is a heavy task of textual research. In fact, Confucianism is the most suitable!"
"When Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, compiled the Book of Songs, etc., he was extremely meticulous. Since Confucius, Confucian scholarship has been rigorous, and it is known all over the world!"
"If Confucianism hadn't always insisted on restoring the Zhou rites, this process would have been very fast!"
Hearing this, Hu Wujing chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, you can select a few doctors from the doctor's academy to establish a literary research department!"
"I think they'll be happy to accept it!"
"Then they will take the lead to describe the evolution of Chinese writing, and finally use Da Qin writing as the benchmark!"
"With the documents written by several doctors, it will be easier for people in the world to accept it!"
"After all, King Zhou introduced the standard script, Shiguwen!"
"We, the Great Qin Dynasty, once saved the Haojing Rebellion and became orthodox in writing, worthy of our name!"
"good!"
The First Emperor applauded: "Ai Qing's idea is very good, let's implement it in this way!"
"I give you the right to act on your own initiative, and you can mobilize the Doctoral Academy!"
"However, the writing matter is related to the inheritance of China, so we must be rigorous, and we must stop the mouths of people all over the world!"
"promise!"
The small court meeting ends and the officials leave.
Yingshu also left Zhangtai Palace, together with Li Si.
"teacher!"
"Come with us!"
Ying Shu boarded Li Si's chariot, and the two of them headed towards the government together: "Your Majesty, is everything okay this time?"
"Um!"
"The Shangshu Office has been dissolved. Your Majesty has not made any arrangements for the students, so he has some free time!"
"However, I'm afraid the teacher won't have any leisure time for a few years!"
"Hahaha........"
Li Si laughed loudly and said in a faint tone: "I am not as open-minded as you. I still have ideas about power!"
"The misery of that year has long been deeply imprinted in the depths of the soul!"
"However, I do want to congratulate you on your marriage!"
Li Si looked at Yingshu: "Your Majesty wants to clear your name!"
"Your Majesty, you are too worried!"
Ying Shu smiled and shook his head: "With His Majesty's physical condition, it will not be a problem for you to reign for twenty or thirty years!"
"By that time, I will be old too!"
“For that position, honestly, students don’t want it!”
"Unless there is a big chaos, I will not take that position. That position must be inherited by His Majesty's blood!"
"As the teacher said, moral shackles have trapped students!"
"Your Majesty treats me like your own son, and I don't want to betray Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Li Si glanced at Yingshu and said with a faint tone: "Actually, whether it is Left Prime Minister Wang Wan, I, or your Majesty, they all see clearly what the empire will face!"
"Your Majesty is doing this because you cannot carry the empire!"
"Logically speaking, His Majesty has conquered all parts of the world, so the next emperor will need someone who is civilized and governed. The eldest son is also trained in this direction!"
"However, when the Qin Dynasty began the war to destroy the country, I, Your Majesty and others clearly realized that the hatred caused by hundreds of years of war and the disintegration have already formed different customs and habits , faith, etc.”
