Chapter 1231 Jump into the pit yourself
Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang with helpless eyes, raised his hand to Lin Songhai, and signaled him to let Li Tai come in.
A moment later, the fat Li Tai walked in from outside the door and greeted the old man and his mother. After the little mother, he turned the topic unexpectedly to the matter of pronunciation of Chinese characters: "Father, my son asked me to supervise the pronunciation of Chinese characters, and I hope my father will be right."
"Look, do you see?" Li Er did not answer Li Tai, but turned to look at Empress Changsun: "I am the one who can cause trouble. I see it, and I don't even stop here."
"Your Majesty, Qingque also wants to share your worries." Empress Changsun's explanation was just right, and she explained both Li Chengqian and Li Tai as good sons who share your worries.
In fact, this is true. Whether it is Li Chengqian or Li Tai, both of them are indeed working for the old man. Although the pronunciation of Chinese characters was thought of by Li Chengqian, the starting point may be for his unborn child, it is undeniable that this is a good thing for scholars in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin also understood this, but he was the emperor. Li Chengqian wanted to be ahead of him in everything, which always made the old man feel happy and a little uncomfortable, and felt a little "shameful". It is precisely because of this that the old man always complained and always felt that this son was not worried.
"Father?" Li Tai stood up with his butt and waited for a long time but didn't see the old man reply, and couldn't help but urge him. As a result, the old man was in a bad mood, he waved his hand and drove him out: "I have to consider this matter, you go back first! Make your "Guodizhi" first."
Li Tai looked at Empress Changsun with a look of help, hoping that her mother could help her, but in the end she was interrupted by the old man's cold snorting: "What do you think? Let you go back. Let this matter be put aside first, it's not a big deal. He Ti Tong was in a panic!"
Well, there is no chance! Hearing the old man's tone, Li Tai honestly agreed, turned around and left, and went back to his tent.
However, after returning, Li Tai did not give up. He called his confidant with a try attitude: "You go back to Chang'an and go to find my elder brother. I will tell him about the phonetic notation matter. Then bring back my elder brother's opinions, go."
The first reaction of Li Tai's confidant was not to turn around and leave, but to look at him in surprise. After a while, he hesitated and said: "Your Highness, can this happen? This is the matter of the Prince's arrest. You, you are robbing halfway, how could Your Highness agree?"
"I will go if I ask you to go, you will be a petty guy." Whether it is trust in Li Chengqian or trust in himself, Li Tai sent his confidant out of his trust.
The current Tang Dynasty is different from the historical records. Empress Changsun has always been healthy. Li Tai also understands that it is impossible to have a mother who wants to compete with her elder brother Li Chengqian for the throne, so he is confident that he can ask for something in Li Chengqian's hands. Anyway, as long as the throne is not involved, his emperor brother will definitely not refuse.
This is the scheming between the princes, and it is not something that a close friend who runs errands can understand, and there is no need for Li Tai to explain this issue to his subordinates.
Another point is that Li Chengqian has never treated any brother unfairly, whether it is a brother of a mother or a half-brother, he treats him equally, never suppresses any one because of something, and he will take the initiative to give up his interests on certain issues.
Take "Kuodizhi" as an example. Li Tai thinks that his elder brother is fully capable of handling it, but Li Chengqian gave up the credit and even took the initiative to send someone to help him. This is a signal for Li Tai, a signal for showing goodwill, and a promise that he will not "treat you badly" in the future.
That's why Li Tai was confident to ask Li Chengqian for help this time, and both wanted to take away the pronunciation of Chinese characters from him.
But everyone did not calculate it. Li Chengqian actually did not regard this matter as a contribution, and even did not count a major event. He just wanted to find someone to write a set of pinyin teaching for his future children.
So after seeing Li Tai's confidant, Comrade Xiao Li was almost confused. He walked around the study several times before saying in an unbelievable tone: "Are you saying that the father is in chaos now? A large group of people are looking for the father and want to take on the pronunciation of Chinese characters? And Xiao Tai also wants this job, are you sure you are right?"
"Your Highness, how dare you lie about this kind of thing? It was indeed sent by Your Highness King Yue." Li Tai's confidant was almost crying, for fear that Li Chengqian would destroy him with anger.
But what is surprising is that Li Chengqian did not act outrageously except for his surprise. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, you go down and rest first. It's okay to go home and have a look. Come here again at this time tomorrow. I'll write a letter to Xiaotai and you can take it back to him."
"Here!" Li Tai's confidant was just a general amnesty. He didn't say that he was fast enough to leave, and it was not an exaggeration to describe his speed of running away with his head in his arms.
"Your Highness, don't you think about this matter?" Yang Yuxin, who was directly ignorant of Li Chengqian, was extremely familiar with him. Judging from his attitude towards the sender, you know that he must be ready to agree to Li Tai and help him get this job.
"We need to think carefully. If Xiaotai wants to take on this job, it cannot be too simple, otherwise he will not agree with his identity."
Li Chengqian's words were not complicated, but he was stunned by Yang Yuxin. Is it okay to give credit to others? He also wants to give credit to someone? What is the logic? Think about the strange man under Li Chengqian. Yang Yuxin didn't think that the Crown Prince couldn't handle this matter, but why did he have to give credit to others?
Yang Yuxin, who couldn't figure out the cause and effect, stared at Li Chengqian in a daze, and finally attributed this to the matter between the superiors. It is best not to get involved in the palace maids.
So, Li Chengqian was busy all day long, wrote more than ten pages of white paper in fonts that could be anti-counterfeiting, and finally put it in a message tube and sealed it with fire paint. At the same time the next day, he handed it to Li Tai's closeness, and he brought the information to Li Tai.
In Li Chengqian's idea, since Li Tai wants to find something to do, it is better to do it for him and keep him busy than to think about it every day. If one day he thinks of the throne, it will be a troublesome thing.
As for whether the credit is made or not, to be honest, Li Chengqian never regarded this matter as any credit since the beginning. He was just a dictionary, and there was nothing to say about it except bigger ones.
As for him, he has used the songs of the characters countless times in later generations, and never saw who the author was. Now that Li Tai wants to do this, he can do it well. A set of Chinese dictionaries in Tang Dynasty is enough for him to do it for 5076 years, and the "Kuodizhi" that has not yet been completed has been busy in the past ten years.
