Walked out of Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Shu was also filled with emotions.
After this discussion, it was tantamount to directly destroying Xiaozhuan. This also made Yingshu realize that reaching his level would have a huge impact on the future development of the Central Plains.
With today's decision, the important task of reforming writing fell on Cheng Miao.
It’s just that Cheng Miao is the main one.
But actually, Li Si is still the main organizer of various things.
Yingshu didn't think much and returned to his house.
He knew in his heart that although the Character Encyclopedia Office had completed its task, simplifying the characters would not happen overnight.
At this time, he didn't want to get involved.
Although Yingshu has read a lot in these years, he is still unwilling to participate in such boring things.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Miao is here to visit!"
Hearing this, Ying Shu was stunned. Ever since Cheng Miao became the censor, he has been busy. Now, Cheng Miao can be regarded as the mainstay in the reform of writing.
"Bring people in!"
Ying Shu glanced at Chen Ping and said, "Prepare a small banquet!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Chen Ping turned and left.
Almost everyone around him had some arrangements, except Chen Ping, who stayed at the house.
It's not that Yingshu is unwilling to arrange Chen Ping, but that he has high hopes for Chen Ping.
"My subordinate Cheng Miao has met your Majesty!"
"You don't have to be polite, Cheng Jian Yushi!" Ying Shu smiled and gestured for Cheng Miao to take a seat: "I asked the kitchen to prepare a small banquet, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cheng Miao sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "I would like to thank you for your recommendation!"
"It's you who are talented, it has nothing to do with me!"
Ying Shu smiled and said, "Even without me, the court will soon see your talent and put it to good use!"
"My only role is to speed up this process!"
The two of them chatted for a moment, and Ying Shu looked at Cheng Miao and said, "It should be the busiest time over there. Are you here?"
"Your Majesty, the official script is being created, and my subordinates are going to invite someone to help. However, this person has a perverse nature and has many criticisms of court politics!"
Cheng Miao was a little embarrassed.
He knew in his heart that although he gave Wang Cizhong a chance, it also put Ying Shu in a dilemma.
He should have reported this matter directly to the First Emperor.
However, he was afraid that the First Emperor would kill Wang Cizhong in a fit of anger.
"As long as you have talent, it's okay to scold the court!"
Ying Shu took a deep look at Cheng Miao and warned him word by word: "Cheng Miao, you have to remember that it's okay to scold the court, as long as you don't scold His Majesty!"
"Of course, scolding does not mean implementing it!"
"Once there is a specific anti-Qin Ju Southeast, not even you, even I can't save him!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wang Cizhong is just bookish and criticizes those in power!" Cheng Miao knew Wang Cizhong very well and assured Ying Shu, "I will definitely not participate in anti-Qin actions or conspire with the survivors of the Six Kingdoms!"
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Yingshu said, "This matter is okay!"
"If anyone asks, just say it was my idea!"
"Come and eat!"
"promise!"
Cheng Miao nodded in agreement and was extremely moved.
His eyes suddenly turned red and his voice was choked. He knew naturally that with Ying Shu's words, all the risks brought by Wang Cizhong were borne by Ying Shu alone.
"Your Majesty, do you really think that the official script is far more suitable for the current Qin Dynasty than the small seal script?"
Cheng Miao also learned about what happened at the court meeting from Li Si.
Naturally, he was extremely grateful for Winning Skills.
However, he had some doubts in his heart.
"nature!"
Ying Shu took a sip of hot tea, looked at Cheng Miao and said, "You also know that the greatest function of writing is to record and pass on!"
"If a text is not conducive to dissemination, it is a failure!"
"The book has the same text!"
"Of course the font and pronunciation must be the same!"
"Although Xiaozhuan is good, it is not suitable for the current Great Qin Dynasty!"
"You don't have to worry. As long as it is beneficial to Great Qin, Your Majesty will definitely support it!"
.........
Zhulu Mountain.
Wang Cizhong and his apprentice lived in seclusion here.
Wang Cizhong was from an ancient county of the Yan Kingdom, and his ancestors were a branch of the Yan royal family.
It's just that it has been passed down for too long, and Wang Cizhong is used to seeing life and death. He was born at the end of the Yan Kingdom and has no attachment to the Yan Kingdom.
Whether there is Yan State or not, it has little impact on him.
He once went to Daliang with a business trip to study.
One year, he brought his business travelers to Qin and met Cheng Miao.
Some stories happened because of the incident.
The two hit it off immediately.
This time Cheng Miao's visit made Wang Cizhong a little surprised and a little confused: "We haven't seen each other for many years. Unexpectedly, Brother Cheng has become a high-ranking official in the empire. It is really a trick of fate!"
Cheng Miao naturally knew the meaning of Wang Cizhong's words.
When he was imprisoned, Wang Cizhong abandoned his family wealth to come to rescue him, but he was unsuccessful and almost died in the Weishui River. Now Wang Cizhong is writing on the cliff just because of the agreement between them.
He became a senior official in Da Qin.
But Wang Cizhong always harbored hatred for Da Qin.
This hatred does come from him.
"I am determined for you!"
The two drank and talked, feeling very unhappy for a while.
However, the two old people who met again after adversity were much different.
Cheng Miao had a smile on his face and was extremely sincere, while Wang Cizhong always had a straight face and an indifferent expression.
"Brother Cheng, come here, what do you want to see me for?"
Wang Cizhong looked at Cheng Miao and asked his doubts.
Hearing this, Cheng Miao smiled and said: "Why do you ask Cizhong knowing that he knows this? It's naturally your long-cherished wish!"
"Your Majesty issued an edict to reform the Chinese characters, based on the Great Seal Script, simplify the characters, form official script, and promote it throughout the world!"
"It just so happens that I am responsible for this matter, so, Cizhong, I need your help!"
.........
Half a month later, Cheng Miao brought Wang Cizhong to the official office.
Met Li Si.
"Right Prime Minister, this is Wang Cizhong, a master of calligraphy, who was once famous in Daliang!" Cheng Miao cupped his hands towards Li Si and said, "In the name of your Majesty, I have brought you here."
"It turns out to be Mr. Tsunaka!"
Li Si smiled and cupped his hands, then turned to the two of them and said, "Cheng Jian Yushi and Mr. Cizhong, how do you think the official script should be simplified?"
"Official script seeks practical results!"
Wang Cizhong looked up at Li Si and said word by word: "For convenience and speed, we must have a foundation!"
"Change the pictographic structure of the seal script to use horizontal and vertical writing strokes as the structure, and at the same time change the round shape of the seal script into a square shape!"
Hearing this, Li Si was also greatly moved at this moment.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Li Si gave instructions to Cheng Miao: "Cheng Miao, I will hand over the political affairs to the left prime minister. You immediately order Hu Wujing and others to gather together. We must create the official script in the shortest possible time." !”
