Chapter 407: Chinese Pinyin? Western characters?

"Girl, is this what you want to surprise grandpa?" Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, frowned and looked at the booklet of ghost-like paintings handed to him by his beloved granddaughter.

"Yes, grandpa, it's it!" Wang Caiyi laughed and held her little head up, looking very proud. From childhood to adulthood, it was rare for her to meet something that she understood but grandpa didn't understand. The little girl suddenly found a wonderful feeling of wanting to be a teacher.

"This is like a book, but what words are written on it? Can you recognize it?" Seeing that his granddaughter was naughty and proud, and seemed to be anxious to ask someone else to ask her for questions, Wang Gui couldn't help but chuckled, and asked Wang Caiyi without shame. While solving his own doubts, he also satisfied his precious granddaughter's vanity. In front of his granddaughter, Wang Gui didn't feel embarrassed.

"Grandpa," the little girl still had no talent to be a role model. After only a moment of hard work, she returned to normal. She reached out to Wang Gui's arm and said to Wang Gui in a sweet voice: "It's the Chinese pinyin, which Cai'er found at Brother Erzhao's house. I heard from Brother Erzhao that this was a wonderful method that Brother Yi had come up with to teach Xiao Hui's sister to read and practice calligraphy. Cai'er knew that his grandfather would definitely like it, so she brought it back to his grandfather."

"Chinese Pinyin? Was it written by Liu Yi?" Wang Gui looked at the book again. From the "Three Character Classic", Wang Gui could see that Liu Yi seemed to be very good at teaching children to enlighten literacy, so Wang Gui naturally took it seriously for what flowed out of his hands, and the expression on his face also became serious from the initial loving look. He reached out and stroked Cai'er's hair and asked softly: "Cai'er, tell grandpa, how can you teach others to read and read?"

"It's very simple!" Just when I knew my grandfather would ask her, Wang Caiyi proudly took out a thin book from his arms and said to her grandfather: "As long as you can learn the dozens of characters in this book, even a child can easily and smoothly read the masterpieces such as "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Books", and "The Book of Rites".

"And, this is easy to learn, grandpa," Wang Caiyi handed the booklet to Wang Gui, and continued: "In Sanhara Nijoo's house, Cai'er only took one day to remember them all."

"Oh, is that?" Wang Gui looked through the booklet in his hand and saw that it was full of strange symbols like talismans. He couldn't help but frown. He knew that Cai'er would not lie, but with this alone, could a child really make him read the Book of Songs?

Reading and literacy, learning and studying literature depend on daily accumulation and precipitation, and there is never any shortcut to take. Therefore, as a veteran scholar, Wang Gui instinctively doubted Wang Caiyi's words.

"Of course!" Seeing that my grandfather looked suspicious, Wang Caiyi boasted indignation: "If you have this kind of 'Chinese spelling' as an auxiliary, even a child can win the world's books!"

"Okay, then I'll ask Cai'er from our family to tell grandpa how to make a child win books in the world with this kind of 'Chinese pinyin'." Seeing that his precious granddaughter seemed to be sulking, Wang Gui hurriedly smiled and coaxed her: "If it's really as Cai'er said, grandpa will definitely give you a great contribution. When you get married, grandpa will prepare you a big dowry, what if?"

"Grandpa~!" The little girl's rare little face turned red, and she held Wang Gui's arm without hesitation and shook it gently.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss," Wang Gui said to his granddaughter with a chuckling, "Grandpa is sincerely asking you for advice now. Now you tell grandpa, what's going on with this 'Chinese Pinyin'? Let grandpa have a plan in his heart."

Although I felt that Wang Caiyi's words were a bit exaggerated and contained a lot of moisture, what could make him praise Wang Gui's granddaughter like this must have its extraordinary features, and Wang Gui also wanted to understand it earlier.

"Well," Wang Caiyi stopped shaking and acting cute when she heard this, and raised her head slightly. The redness on her face had faded a little, but now the white and red face was even more beautiful and beautiful.

"Grandpa, look at this character 'a', its voice is 'ah~', and there is this 'b', its voice is 'platin', and..."

After a cup of tea, Wang Gui finally put away the contempt and disbelief on his face.

As time passed, Wang Gui's breathing began to get a little heavier.

One hour, two hours passed, and the expression on Wang Gui's face had completely turned into solemnity and shock. At the same time, there were also huge surprises.

Liu Yi is a genius!

After his granddaughter explained the vocalization and use of "Chinese Pinyin" to him, Wang Gui couldn't help but exclaim again. In addition to the last "Three Character Classic", Liu Yiu brought him a huge surprise.

As the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty and a famous scholar and scholar in the world, Wang Gui could see the potential and great effect of this "Chinese Pinyin" more thoroughly than anyone else.

Although it is just an auxiliary tool, and although it cannot truly replace the block text, its appearance will undoubtedly cause a considerable impact on the entire Chinese power that has been passed down for thousands of years of textual heritage. Of course, this impact should be something that any literati wants to see.

"I'm going to the palace!" The old man's face flushed, and his chest was fluttering and gasping for breath. After explaining to Wang Caiyi, he actually carried two booklets and ran out of the study door. He was shocked, the little girl Wang Caiyi was stunned. Since childhood, she has never seen her grandfather so excited and a little out of control?

"Cai'er, what's wrong with your grandfather?" As soon as he entered the yard, Wang Chongji saw his father excitedly leaving the study room. He didn't stop to reply even if he saluted him. What's going on? While he was confused, he saw that his daughter was walking out of the study room and then Wang Chongji couldn't help but ask her.

"Dad, I don't know much. After listening to the 'Chinese Pinyin', my grandfather thought of something, and he suddenly became like this." Wang Caiyi also looked puzzled, and she was also scared by Wang Gui's expression and actions just now.

It’s just a way to assist in learning Chinese characters. Will my grandfather be so excited?

"'Chinese Pinyin'? What is that?" Wang Chongji was stunned when he heard this word for the first time, and he was a little confused.

“‘Pinyin of Chinese’ is…”

An hour later, Wang Chongji's expression became the same as that of his father Wang Gui, with a flushed face and a stirring expression. The only difference was that he was just wandering around the study and did not yell at the palace.

"This Liu Yi is really a genius!"

After Wang Gui, Wang Chongji couldn't help but exclaim. At the same time, he understood why their old man was so excited. Liu Yi's "Chinese Pinyin" was an innovative and very great one.

"Grandpa said this just now. Brother Yi is indeed a genius, but my brother Erzhao is also good!" Wang Caiyi also said to her father with a slight pride: "I heard from Brother Yizhao that he is 99% sure of the re-examination of the imperial examination this year."

"Well, that's right. With that kid Nijo's current age, it's good to have such achievements." Although the two things of "Chinese Pinyin" and the re-examination of the imperial examination are two different concepts, in order to make his daughter happy, Wang Chongji still said it indifferently.

Of course, this is not perfunctory. According to Liu Ertiao's current age, if he really passed the re-examination and became a Jinshi, it would be an enviable thing. After all, when he and his third brother passed the Jinshi, they were all over the age of twentieth, which was even worse than Liu Ertiao's current age.

"Of course! My third uncle once said Brother Ertiao like this!" After hearing his father's praise, Wang Caiyi once again raised her cute little head.

......

"Xuancheng, come on, come on, sit next to me!" Li Shimin raised his hand and called Wei Zheng to sit down near him, and did not beat him around the bush, and asked him directly: "This year's re-examination of the Ministry of Personnel, I plan to let Xuancheng, you are responsible for supervising and selecting materials for the country. I wonder if Xuancheng is sure?"

"Don't worry, the emperor, respond to the virtuous in the re-examination, and live only by talent. I have already made a fool of myself and will not let down the emperor's high expectations." Wei Zheng bowed his head, his tone was calm and firm.

"Haha, I will not worry about Xuancheng's work, but when preparing for the re-examination, if there are any difficulties or ideas, Xuancheng can speak directly to me. Also, Xuancheng should pay more attention to his body. Over the past two years, you have become older." Li Shimin raised his hand and ordered the eunuch to sit upright for Wei Zheng.

A cup of hot tea, said with a warm smile to the old and stubborn old man in front of him.

"I am worried about the emperor. I am only sixty years old. Compared to Lord Wang Gui and General Li Jing, I am still young. I can still share my worries for the emperor!" Wei Zheng was grateful and felt a little more joking when he was so caring and condolences from the emperor.

"Emperor! Wang Gui, Minister of Rites, asked for a visit outside the hall! He said that there was something important to report to the emperor!" As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, the eunuch Li Ran came in and reported softly.

"Oh, hehe, Cao Cao is here," Li Shimin and Wei Zheng looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing at the same time, waved their hand to Li Ran, who was a little confused, and said, "Okay, go and invite Lord Wang."

After a while, Wang Gui followed Li Ran and walked in quickly. Seeing the old man's face full of excitement and walking in a breeze, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were both stunned. While worried that his old arms and legs would fall accidentally, he couldn't help but wonder. Is this old man still the same calm and moderate behavior as before, and the situation is calm and calm?

"My minister Wang Gui, pay homage to the emperor!" He respectfully bowed to Li Shimin. Wang Gui stood up straight and nodded slightly to Wei Zheng beside him.

"Well, please sit down, Wang Aiqing." Li Shimin easily reached out to invite Wang Gui to take his seat, then glanced at the old man and asked softly: "Look at Wang Aiqing's face was full of joy and a passionate expression, but what kind of happy events did he encounter?"

Wang Gui urged Wei Zheng, then sat down beside Wei Zheng. When Li Shimin asked him, he bowed to Li Shimin and replied: "It is indeed as the emperor said. Just now, in the palace, I met a great joyful event that would be enough to bring blessings to all ages. This time I entered the palace this time, I wanted to report to the emperor to know."

"Oh?" Li Shimin couldn't help but sit up straight and asked Wang Gui seriously: "A surprise that will bring blessings to the world? I wonder what Wang Qing said?"

Wei Zheng also looked at Wang Gui strangely, he knew that Wang Gui had always been rigorous in his actions, and Xiang Buyan's words were lying. Now that he saw the old man so excited, he also wanted to know why.

"I have two books, please read them!" Wang Gui reached out and handed the two pinyin books he brought from the mansion to the eunuch beside him, and reported to Li Shimin softly: "This is the happy event that I said!"

"Oh?" Li Shimin took the book, looked at Wang Gui, and then opened the book unconsciously. When he saw the alphabetical characters on the book, he couldn't help but feel mist. He wondered why Wang Gui showed him these things?

Seeing Wei Zheng looking at him with a straight look, Li Shimin pushed the book and handed it to him by the eunuch, so that Wei Zheng could see it too.

"This?" Wei Zheng's two little eyes narrowed and chanted softly: "This type of font does not look like a thing from my Middle Earth. I wonder why Lord Wang took this out for this? Where did this joy come from?"

"Uh? Lord Wei knows the characters on it?" Seeing that Li Shimin and Wei Zheng did not have too many unexpected expressions, Wang Gui himself became confused. Could it be that the emperor and the others had already known it before this?

"This is the writing of the country of the Nestorian priest Aroben," Seeing Wang Gui's face showing confusion, Li Shimin explained to him. After the introduction of Nestorian into the Tang Dynasty in the ninth year of Zhenguan, it has formed a considerable scale in the territory of the Tang Dynasty in four years. Many people know it. However, Li Shimin knew that Wang Gui had never believed in gods and Buddhas, and it is normal that he had never read this article.

But he didn't understand why Wang Gui was so happy and extremely surprised when he saw these words, and even ran to the palace to report to him?
