The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

Ha ha!

Li Er laughed.

"Let's send a few up!"

Li Erdao.

"According to the order!"

Seeing Du He and Li Er talking about leather bags, the other important ministers were so angry!

This is the imperial study room, is it a place to discuss national affairs, not a place to talk about family affairs or chat.

"Your Majesty, this is the "Contract of Chang'an" signed by the Ministry of Rites and Dongyang Kingdom under the auspices of Weichen. Please read it over. If there is no amendment, Weichen will implement this treaty and let it take effect as soon as possible."

Du He took out three copies of the "Chang'an Contract" from his bag and handed them over to Li Second Hand.

Li Er received it in his hand and inspected it carefully.

puff!

Hahaha!

Li Er couldn't help laughing wildly.

"Little bastard, who drafted this contract? It's all in vernacular, okay? If such a contract appears, what face will the empire have?"

Li Er said with contempt.

After showing the "Chang'an Contract" to several important ministers, everyone despised Du He.

Too much fun!

The vernacular is used by ordinary people, how can the official use vernacular.

Once the vernacular is used, there will be no face for the empire, and it will be thrown out of the country.

Ancient officials, masters of Confucianism, and scholars were all proud of those who talked about what they said, thinking that they were superior to others.

"Lord Du, this contract is too much fun! Once this contract is born, the old face of the empire will be thrown at the Eastern Kingdom,

He was insulted by many great scholars and despised by people all over the world.This official is firmly opposed to it and must be redrafted. "

Gao Jian suggested with a wry smile.

Next, needless to say, all the important ministers, that is, Li Er's direct descendants, all opposed it and suggested that Li Er let Du He come back again.

Although Fang Xuanling didn't make a sound, his expression was very exciting.

"Little bastard, why do you use vernacular? I don't believe that with your level, you would draw up such a ridiculous contract. What is the reason?"

Li Er asked.

Several important ministers sneered and satirized, but Du He's face did not change color, and he still looked calm and swaying.

Du He let everyone scold him without gnawing.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a question, what is the function of words?"

Du He asked lightly.

Li Er and the minister were slightly taken aback!

Is it necessary to answer such a simple question?

The important ministers cast contemptuous looks one after another, if the official is not familiar with you, don't post it.

Du He knew that Li Er and several important ministers disdain to answer such questions.

Because it's so easy.

Speaking out would be embarrassing and loss of face.

"Your Majesty, ministers, if you don't bother to answer my question, then let me do the talking.

Text was first used to record the number of prey obtained, and gradually developed to record events that occurred in history,

Later, it developed into poetry, which made people have fun, and finally became a way of inheritance.

To put it bluntly, it records economic, political, military, literary and many other events in various periods.

The things recorded must be understandable to people, so that ordinary people can understand.It's not for pretense, doesn't it seem superior to learn to write?

Is it awesome to know two lines of poems?

For example, if the national policy is posted, the common people cannot understand it, so what is the use?

Even if there are literate people, how many can understand those stereotyped essays, there are a lot of them, can the common people understand them?

People don't understand, what's the use of the various national policies announced?If all those classics and historical records are translated into vernacular,

It is very simple for students to learn, and they can understand at a glance and understand the truth, isn't it great?

Why pretend?

Besides the contract, it is a contract between two countries.If you use stereotyped essays, can you guarantee that it means the same thing?

Depending on the understanding of the text, there will be several meanings in it.

In order to avoid different understandings and cause serious mistakes, Wei Chen uses vernacular, what's wrong! "

Du He asked loudly.

Li Er was dumbfounded!

All the important ministers are dull and stupid!

All in consideration of what Duhe said.

All of a sudden, the whole study was silent.

() Datang's strongest son-in-law

Chapter 134

Surprised!

Surprised!

Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Wei Ting, Wang Gui, Gao Jian and other important officials were unexpected.

Doo would say that.

There are no lofty words in the words, it seems very mediocre, but it is memorable.

After all, they are all the direct descendants of Li Er, the elite class of the Tang Empire, and their IQs are absolutely amazing.

"Du He, it means that it is very difficult for the imperial government to promote the vernacular, and it will be opposed by all the ministers!"

Li Er asked.

Not only the ministers will oppose it, but it is estimated that officials all over the world will oppose it, and scholars all over the world will oppose it.

Originally, scholars have a kind of high-ranking pretentiousness, once the vernacular is promoted, those pretentious classical Chinese and stereotyped essays become decorations.

How embarrassing are those scholars!

Scholar can't pretend to be aggressive in front of the people, so what's the use of reading.

For a long time, all scholars and big families know that to become a master, one must read thousands of books.

Ha ha!

Duhe laughed.

"Your Majesty, words must return to their origin and essence, and return to the purpose and function of words when they appeared.

History is developing, society is progressing, and civilization is advancing, all of which are independent of individual will.

Whether accepted or not, civilization has been evolving, from a low-level civilization to a high-level civilization.

This is an indisputable fact that no matter how great a person's ability is, he cannot stop the development of history and the evolution of civilization.

Think about it, Your Majesty, once the vernacular is promoted, it will bring great benefits to the Tang Empire.Empires will spring up,

A large number of capable officials.Unlike now, the local government is completely in the hands of the big family, binding His Majesty's hands and feet.

This situation is not good and must be changed.Let people translate the subsets of classics and histories of the past dynasties,

Let the people of the world learn and master the principles and philosophies in the books, which will quickly improve the cultural quality of the whole people.

For an empire to be strong, the most important thing is to improve the cultural quality of the whole people, and it cannot be accomplished by relying on a few elites.

Only when the common people understand reason, know the law, master knowledge, and distinguish right from wrong, can the revival of the empire have a chance.

At that time, the country will truly be strong, the people rich, and the army strong, and dare to show swords and arrows to any enemy.

Dare to say no to any powerful country or enemy.Isn't such a world what His Majesty wants? "

Du He explained flatly.

"Isn't that good? Studying is to become an official and become a master. Once you study, you will lose your career path.

How many people will be willing to study, is it really good for the empire?Besides, would those great Confucians, students, and scholars agree?

Maybe they will rebel and attack them in groups.

What will the empire do then? "

Gao Jian shook his head and smiled wryly.

Gao Jian was not the only one who was worried, but the others were also worried.

After all, if you grab the cake from the big family, it's no wonder that they will agree with it.

"Master Du is very good, but the resistance is huge, there is no possibility of operation, and it may backfire."

Wang Gui shook his head and said.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Wei Zheng didn't make a sound. After all, the matter is a bit big and it's hard to speak up!

Li Er knew in his heart that what Du He said was indeed good for the empire, the problem was that there was a lot of resistance!

It is basically impossible to implement it all at once.

Du He didn't think about changing the views of the ministers all at once, but just taught the important ministers a lesson and planted a seed in his heart.

Once that seed is sown, sooner or later it will take root.

Ha ha!

Li Er smiled wryly.

"Today's talk about the contract and the promotion of vernacular Chinese will be studied later when we have a chance. Don't be in a hurry."

Li Er made a conclusion.

"Your Majesty, Master Du uses vernacular Chinese, so there is no big problem in handling the details. The key is that once the contract is issued,

It will be despised by many Confucian scholars, officials, scholars, and scholars, and it will shame the empire and lose the face of the empire. "

Wei Ting said.

Damn it!

If you don't agree with it clearly, why don't you say it so tactfully.

One old fritters.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there is a problem with the contract. The Ministry of Rites pays too much attention to interests, which will shame the empire. Is the empire short of that little money?

Why don't you haggle over every ounce with the Oriental Kingdom, let's be generous and reflect the wealth and grandeur of the empire.

All dynasties and dynasties have subordinate countries to pay tribute, and the Central Plains Empire will give them great rewards.The humble minister feels that there is no need to compete for the interests of the vassal state,

It seems that the empire is too petty.It's wrong for people to submit to the empire and let them pay tribute every year!

Paying tribute is the wish of others, and the empire should be more tolerant and give rewards.

Take a look at this contract. The whole article is full of interests. It is not in the interests of the empire and must be renegotiated.

In fact, there is no need to sign any contract, and it will be over according to the original handling, so why not waste it. "

Changsun Wuji insisted on objecting.

Confucianism, when it comes to interests, it is considered an act of a villain.
