Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 185 I can't read the text!There are no rules! (seeking subscription)

When the outside world was turbulent, Qin Luoheng was very calm in prison.

He looked curiously at the prison in Tingwei Mansion, but found a strange person in a cell not far away.

The man was writing on the wall.

What is written is not Qin Zhuan, but another font.

Lishu!

Qin Luoheng's eyes changed slightly.

He has lived in the Qin Dynasty for so long, and this is the first time he has seen someone write official script, and the writing is extremely square. If he remembers correctly, there is only one font approved by the court, which is Qin Zhuan, and the rest are unofficial scripts. .

Where did this person learn official script?
Faintly, he felt that this person was not writing, but creating his own fonts. To be precise, Lishu might have been invented by this person.

Qin Luoheng wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to ask.

In the end, I just watched quietly.

late at night.

The man stopped writing, straightened his messy hair, and lay down in the prison, but his eyes were still fixed on the writing on the wall, as if he was thinking about how to improve it.

Sudden.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the prison.

Father Lang walked in.

He looked around and walked straight to Qin Luoheng's prison.

Seeing Lang's father, Qin Luoheng froze.

Ye smiled and said: "I am the jailer of Tingwei's mansion, and I have some friendship with other jailers, so I was able to come in, Qin Shizi, you have committed a serious crime this time, I actually don't want to get involved, but this boy Lang has been It's really annoying to keep chattering in my ears, so I simply came in to have a look."

Qin Luoheng respectfully said: "Thank you for your concern, please tell Lang and Fen that I am fine in prison, so that they don't have to worry about me. I don't want you to be hurt because of me." implicated."

Ye nodded and said, "That's what I said too, but these two boys didn't listen at all. Now that I've met you, they should be relieved."

"But it's your business, I can't do anything about it."

"When I came in, I asked the higher-ups. There are many people who are concerned about your case. Huang's people should not dare to make moves behind the scenes. According to the information I know so far, you actually have a chance."

"However, I can't guarantee how it will be judged in the end."

Qin Luoheng said gratefully: "The official has a heart, and I understand it in my heart."

Ye raised his forehead slightly and asked, "If you have anything you want to ask, or something you want to take with you, you can tell me, and I will help you take it out."

Qin Luoheng pondered for a while, and then said a few words, mainly to Bao Shu, to let her not worry, and to comfort her that nothing would happen to her.

To the end.

He couldn't help but asked about the origin of the strange man next to him.

Ye looked back, pondered for a moment in his mind, and said uncertainly: "The prisoner over there seems to be called Cheng Miao (miao). I have inquired about him before. Qin Shihuang was 16 years old, and Han had not been destroyed at that time. The county magistrate of Xiagui (gui) county."

"When Korea was destroyed, he was selected by the current Nei Shi Teng to join the backup battalion. He was appointed as the grain and fodder manager, and he was in charge of the grain import and export. However, he was imprisoned just one month after joining the army."

Qin Luoheng's face showed a strange expression.

Qin's extermination of Han is almost a certainty, and it is also the best opportunity for officials big and small to make military achievements. This person is so short-sighted, can he make mistakes at that time?

Ye guessed what Qin Luoheng was thinking, shook his head and said, "He didn't violate military regulations or laws. His crime was that he wrote the wrong place name."

heard.

Qin Luoheng understood immediately.

The official script of Daqin is seal script, and Cheng Miao probably wrote official script, seal script is quite different from official script, especially at that time Qin State still used big seal script, Cheng Miao could recognize official script, but other officials could not, and mistakenly thought he wrote it. Wrong place name.

So Cheng Miao was imprisoned.

Qin Luoheng said: "This is not a big mistake, is it?"

Ye said: "At that time, during the war, Cheng Miao was responsible for the supply of grain and grass in the front line as the grain and fodder Sima. Because of the wording problem, the grain and grass that should have been sent to Yiyang were sent to Nanyang. The difference between the two places was more than three hundred miles. directly caused the Yiyang garrison to starve to death for ten days."

"Although the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are detailed, there are no relevant provisions for punishing crimes. Therefore, the inspector in the army informed the judge of the state government about this matter. The judge gathered ten judges in Guanzhong for discussion. There are no provisions in the law, and there is no precedent in the case, so the court official should punish it at its discretion."

"He was also sent to Xianyang from Xiagui County."

"The Tingwei at that time was the current Prime Minister Wang Wan. Regarding his situation, the old Tingwei thought hard for several days, and finally drew up a punishment order: Cheng Miao, Cheng Miao, the prime minister of Xiagui County, should not be written in an unofficial style. Writing official documents caused the army to run out of food for ten days, and three soldiers died of starvation, and they were sent to prison pending execution."

"Then."

Before Ye started to speak, a voice came from the prison beside him.

Cheng Miao eloquently said:
"Then I asked the old Ting Wei, what is the official script?"

"Since the beginning of writing in the Qin State, has there ever been a clear regulation? I have also served in the government, and I have read the official documents of the government office. There are all eight books in the world. Why does the old Tingwei only convict the writing style of the subordinate?"

"Then the old court lieutenant is known as the tough law enforcement, what happened?"

"After checking the official documents of the official office, he just changed the "unofficial style" in the judgment order to "unrecognized style". Isn't this also deceiving me?"

"I'll ask the old Tingwei again."

"The Qin government seeks practical results, and if it is useful, it must be recognized. All the books I wrote in the past were recognized by the government. Isn't this recognized by the government? Why does he want to temporarily restrict it now?"

"In the end, this Wang Wan directly convicted me, saying: 'Cheng Miao's writing caused people to misunderstand, so it is a crime', of course I refused to accept it, and begged again, and I did not write wrong words, and I should be the one who admits mistakes. What is my sin?"

"This old guy directly said, 'I started the starving soldiers. Weifu."

"The writing is impossible! The law is empty!"

"I, Cheng Miao, are innocent!"

Hearing Cheng Miao's inspiring words, Qin Luoheng was a little ashamed.

How stubborn!
Cheng Miao also called Wang Wan the old Tingwei before, and then he started calling Wang Wan by his name, and later he even called the old man. This is really depressed.

immediately.

Qin Luoheng sensed something was wrong.

asked:

"its not right."

"Wang Wan will not cheat Cheng Miao on this matter. Since he promised to report it, he should have reported it. Why is Cheng Miao still locked inside?"

Ye showed a bit of embarrassment.

He whispered: "After the old prime minister reported, Lu Xiang was deposed."

"At that time, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos, and the real main body became Ting Wei's Mansion. The memorials of Wang Wan and Ting Wei were backlogged in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The next Prime Minister was Huang Jingxiu. He took the blame and withdrew."

"Then the prime minister was replaced by Wang Wan."

"By that time, the memorial had been backlogged for more than a year. After thinking about it for a long time, Prime Minister Wang sent Cheng Miao's matter back to Ting Wei's mansion and let Li Si Ting handle it. At that time, Da Qin was attacking Zhao. All the energy of the Wei Manor was put on that, and this matter was shelved again."

"Later Li Si dealt with this matter and decided to apply for an amnesty from His Majesty. But by coincidence, Ting Wei's mansion was rectifying the writing, so Li Si Ting asked him a few words, wanting to hear his opinion on writing, and also revealed that Xiaozhuan will As the unified text of the Qin Dynasty."

"result."

"This Cheng Miao directly said, 'Xiaozhuan is not as good as official script', and also proposed that the official script should be used as the foundation in the world, supplemented by Xiaozhuan, and Xiaozhuan should be used as official documents, scripts and contracts. The situation, the effect is quick and easy."

"It is also said that Li Tingwei's handwriting is flashy and not real, and it should not be a model for the world."

"Then."

"It's locked up until now."

heard.

Qin Luoheng's mouth twitched slightly.

Do not die.

This Cheng Miao is going to death.

He was imprisoned for more than ten years without any injustice.

Hearing Ye's words, Cheng Miao showed displeasure, and said, "The unified script of the Great Qin Dynasty was originally meant to be pragmatic and simple. If there is a simpler official script that is not used, and the second-best Xiaozhuan is used, isn't this a waste of time?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the world's writing has been based on convenience, and eight writing methods have been formed, namely the eight scripts recognized by the world, namely the big seal script, the small seal script, the engraved character, the insect script, the imitation seal, the official script, the Shu script and the official script."

"The name of Lishu is taken from 'Book of Zuoli (Officials)'."

"It's just that in the past, no one sorted it out uniformly, so the official script varies from place to place, and even the official script written by each person is not the same."

"In the past ten years, I have sorted it out."

When it comes to official script, Cheng Miao sees the spirit.

He said: "The official script is a calligraphy created by subordinate officials for quick writing. The change of the official script lies in changing the pictogram of the ancient seal script into strokes. Taking the simplest pen and using a straight square as the shape, it not only writes quickly, but also Easy to recognize."

Qin Luoheng thought about it, and took the initiative to say: "Master, can you use a word as an example?"

Seeing that someone was interested in official script, Cheng Miao was overjoyed, and without any hesitation, he directly washed off the ink on the wall with clear water, then wiped it with his clothes, and wrote three "an" on the wall with a pen. Character.

He said: "Little brother, please take a look, this is the character 'An' in the big seal script. It is in the shape of a woman and a man embracing in the hallway."

"Next to it is the character 'An' in Xiaozhuan. It takes the shape of a woman under the house. Although it is simplified to a man, the meaning is still there. The pillars of the house are on the ground, and the long skirts of the women in the house are swaying. It is still a pictographic body."

"Look at 'An' in official script."

"Just take the roof as an idea. The shape of a woman is simply kneeling. The horizontal line is a long case, and the crossed under the case are two feet."

"Simplicity in form."

"Qin seal script is complex in shape, difficult to write and easy to read, and not easy to confuse."

"Clerical script is easy to recognize, isn't it more applicable than Qin seal?"

"If the official script is used all over the world, it will be more convenient for beginners, and the knowledge of the world will not need to be hidden in a deep house. Li Si pretends not to know such a simple truth and completely negates the official script. It is simply indescribable!"

Qin Luoheng couldn't laugh or cry.

Cheng Miao's resentment towards Li Si seemed to be very deep.

However, he doesn't care about these, he cares more about the official script.

If, as Cheng Miao said, popularizing official script would be of great benefit to beginners all over the world, compared with Qin seal script, official script would reduce the difficulty of reading and writing a lot. This change will undoubtedly greatly reduce the cost of learning.

Daqin now needs to reduce the cost of learning.

But official script alone is not enough.

Literacy is the foundation of a student.

Literacy can rely on Lishu to reduce difficulty, while Duanwen can rely on punctuation marks.

If the writing is written in official script, supplemented by punctuation, and then accompanied by paper, the cost of learning will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. Not to mention that everyone in the world can afford to go to school. limited to a small area.

Qin Luoheng was a little moved.
