[Comprehensive] Survival of the Last Emperor

Cheng Miao jumped up excitedly from the chair, turned his head to look at Hu Hai and said, "This... this... young master, can I borrow a pen and paper?"

At this time, Hu Hai, in his eyes, is no longer the young master of Daqin, but a guard who is responsible for opening the door to the new world.

"Sir, whatever you want." Hu Hai walked aside, pointed at his desk, and signaled Cheng Miao to do whatever he wanted.

Anyway, this study room is just an outside study room, it's just a place for Hu Hai to practice calligraphy, read books and meet guests, there is nothing shady about it.

Cheng Miao walked to the desk, picked up a pen and quickly wrote down a few words.

Looking at the words he wrote, Hu Hai immediately smiled, and he did not make a mistake. Cheng Miao was indeed the inventor of the legendary official script, or should be said to be the sorter.

As early as when he was preparing to blend in the big event of "Shu Tong Wen", Hu Hai was thinking about what method he should use to advance the original history by decades, and save Xiaozhuan, which will be eliminated in a short time.

In the original history, "Book Tongwen" refers to Li Si's simplification on the basis of the original seal script used by the Qin State, creating "Xiaozhuan", canceling the variant characters of the other six countries, and creating a unified Chinese character written form.

At the same time, Cheng Miao also presented to Ying Zheng that he spent ten years in Yunyang Prison to sort out another character font since King Zhaoxiang. Yingzheng praised him as good, released his crime and used him as a censor.And that kind of character font, because it is convenient for officials and prisons to write scripts, is called "Li", which is the "Li Shu" of later generations.

Although the official script did not replace the seal script and became the official script of the Qin Dynasty during the Yingzheng era, time speaks louder than words. the official text of .

Some people may think that promoting simplified characters in the era of seal script is a wrong concept-because the fonts have changed too much, there is no foundation at all.

But in fact, Xiaozhuan and Lishu are two completely different systems in the history of Chinese characters, and there is absolutely no relationship between the two.Xiaozhuan is the end of ancient pictographic characters, while official script completely destroys the font form of seal script, and changes pictographic characters into strokes to start a new character.If the seal script develops for another 1 years, there is no way to become the font of later generations.

Just like at this time, Cheng Miao's official script was still in the half-seal and half-official stage. Some font forms had been destroyed, but some remained unchanged, and it was not as mature as the official script of later generations. Reasons for popularizing official script.

But it’s different now. The writing that Hu Hai wrote since he was a child is the mature product of the development of writing in later generations for thousands of years. It doesn’t need to be carefully selected, it doesn’t need to be carefully selected, it can be used directly.

After all, most of the so-called simplified characters have existed since ancient times, such as Huang, Lai, Jia, Lu, Gong and other characters, and their prototypes can be seen in oracle bone inscriptions, inscriptions, and Xiaozhuan. Among the 2274 simplified characters in the "General Table of Simplified Characters", among the 521 simplified characters commonly used by people, only 101 appeared in the liberated areas and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the remaining 420 characters were popular or existed before liberation: 68 in the pre-Qin period There are 96 characters in the Qin and Han Dynasties, 32 characters in the Three Kingdoms, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, 29 characters in the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, 82 in the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, 53 in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and 60 in the Republic of China.

"I don't know why the young master is looking for criminals." Cheng Miao looked at the words written by himself, and then at the words written by Hu Hai. Although the fonts are slightly different, one horizontal and one vertical are square and square. The character structure of Hu Hai is in the same line, but Hu Hai's font is much more mature than his own.

"I would like to ask sir to dedicate this new writing method and new characters to my father." Hu Hai smiled slightly. He had never practiced brush calligraphy in his previous life, and he practiced calligraphy in this life and dealt with that pile of twists and turns all day long. Zhuan feels like he is painting.Therefore, not to mention official script, he would not be able to write in any of the later fonts. After 2000, the written characters would at best be evaluated as "neat".

Now everyone thinks it is good, mainly because of the novelty, plus the immature development of calligraphy and painting these days, there is no reference in front of it, plus years of hard work in Qin seal, and it can barely achieve the effect of piercing through the back of the paper, so it is so shocking. many people.

"Young Master, why don't you... offer it yourself?" Cheng Miao asked in bewilderment.

As the young master of Daqin, if he is close to the water, he will be the first to get the moon. If he makes contributions, it will be all his own. Why do he need a criminal like him to do it?

"Because of this writing method, I only got a feeling after reading Mr.'s words. It is not my own credit, but Mr.'s credit." Hu Hai stretched out his hand to stop what Cheng Miao was going to say next, and continued. He opened his mouth and said: "Sir, you don't have to be humble. You have worked hard for ten years to sort it out. How can Hu Hai have the heart to take the credit of your husband?"

Although Hu Hai likes to compete for credit with his descendants, he is now the King of Gu, and he may be the future Qin Ershi. It is also good.

"I invite sir, just to ask him to help me. I want to use this type of font to completely replace seal script." Hu Hai raised his head and looked at Cheng Miao, his starry eyes were shining brightly, making people unable to look directly at him.

Last time, Cheng Miao failed to do it alone.This time, I will definitely be able to do it.

"Completely replace seal script?" Cheng Miao was taken aback by Hu Hai's words.Seal script has been used for thousands of years from the ancient mythological age to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. How easy is it to replace it?

Although shocked by Hu Hai's astonishing ambition, he thought that the font he created could replace seal script, end pictographic writing since ancient times, and completely bring writing into the era of square and square.An indescribable feeling still surged in Cheng Mao's heart. For a person who loves words, this sense of accomplishment is no less than that of Cangjie.

"Father will agree." Hu Hai lowered his head, picked up a long feather on the table, and played with it in his hands: "But before that, please copy what I wrote... um , with the kind of characters created by Mr., my calligraphy...is still not comparable to that of a great calligrapher like Mr. "

"Yes, young master." Cheng Miao cupped his hands at Hu Hai, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and began to copy the words written by Hu Hai.

Hu Hai didn't disturb Cheng Miao, but stood in front of the window and began to play with the feather in his hand.

Father is getting old... Qin Shihuang, who once ruled the country and ruled the world, has begun to grow old.

As Ying Zheng's favorite son, except for the two years in Chu State, Hu Hai was almost brought up by Ying Zheng. Coupled with Zhao Gao's reason, Hu Hai knew all of Ying Zheng's living habits, likes and dislikes.I remember when I was young, when the war was busy, Yingzheng could hold court meetings for several days in a row and be in high spirits. Afterwards, he could go to the harem to find beautiful women to have fun; but now he just changed the documents overnight. When he saw Yingzheng the next day, You can see the dark circles on his face and the not very uplifting spirit.

Maybe he concealed it well in front of his foreign ministers, but in the eyes of Zhao Gao who knew him well, it was as if there was no secret, so Hu Hai suspected that the reason why there was no baby cry in Xianyang Palace after he was born was because Ying Zheng usually Too busy and too tired to have time to mess around, I occasionally find beautiful women to have a sex, and because there are too many beautiful women, Ying Zheng himself is too exposed to rain and dew, so he has no hobby of pampering a beautiful woman, and occasionally he misses other girls when he comes here Dangerous period.

Of course, this is a great thing for Hu Hai. The tradition of "Qin people love children" is well-known. Even the famous Bian Que changed from a gynecologist to a pediatric doctor for the sake of business prosperity after he entered Qin from Zhao.Hu Hai didn't dare to imagine, if another child popped out of the harem now, would he become the unlucky Liu Zheng or the next Fusu.

Writing in seal script is troublesome and time-consuming. When Ying Zheng reviews official documents, he rubs his wrists much more frequently than when he was young.If he changed the seal script to official script, it would greatly reduce his workload, right?Just like changing bamboo slips to paper, although the number of corrected documents has not decreased, at least I don’t have to approve memorials every time. I feel like I am a small worker moving bricks on the construction site, and I have to move 120 catties of bricks a day.

However, in the end, he is old and physically weak... I believe he should have experienced it himself, otherwise Ying Zheng would not have started to pray for gods everywhere in history... Well, there is no Buddha these days.

In the 28th year of the first emperor, Xu Shi, a native of Qi, wrote a letter saying that there are three sacred mountains in the sea, named Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, where immortals live.Please fast and ask for it with virgins and boys.So Xu City sent thousands of boys and girls into the sea to seek immortals.

It is now 26.

While Hu Hai was thinking about Ying Zheng's body, Ying Zheng was also thinking about Hu Hai.

Maybe it's because the father and son have a good heart, and it's not a good thing for both sides to think about each other now.One is to think about my father, who started to engage in feudal superstition; the other is to think about my own baby, who is really treacherous and cunning, afraid of trouble and afraid of responsibility, and loves to shrink back when things are in trouble. I really don’t know where I learned it. ?

I also want to mention that at the last great court meeting, Hu Hai proposed to collect the weapons of the world to mint coins, and then when Yingzheng was preparing "who proposes, who is responsible", he handed over the work of minting coins and the promotion of new coins to Hu Hai, but was rejected. The other party's head shaking like a rattling drum gave up the idea and handed over the matter to Fusu.

At that time, Ying Zheng was still thinking, how could Hu Hai, who is so quick to grab the credit, give up such a big credit and flattery, and hide his name and reputation?Now after reading the report from the Dark Guardian, Ying Zheng immediately understood Hu Hai's thoughts at the time about the various troubles Fusu encountered in the process of promoting the new currency.

It turned out that the bear boy thought it was too troublesome.When will this little lazy bear be responsible?No, didn't he do a good job in Chu State?Why does it seem like a different person immediately after returning to Xianyang?Pointing at me for everything, making up my own ideas at most, not doing anything practical, is it true that I have spoiled the brat?Let him get used to relying on me when I have him, instead of doing things by himself?
