I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 66 Rupi Magic Bones!

Shen Tujia's words caused the two brothers to fall into a long panic...
——Learn elegant language now!
Even for Liu Sheng, who "slightly understands foreign languages", this is definitely a shocking thing!

You must know the elegant language, but it is the official language of the Central Plains during Zhou Dynasty, or it is the 'special language for nobles'!
Compared with the 'dialects' of various countries, Zhou's elegant language can almost be regarded as a foreign language!
As for the difficulty of learning elegant language, it is notoriously high.

Not to mention the words and accents that are completely different from the 'dialects' of other countries, or in other words, the Zhou family elegant language even has strict 'melody' requirements!
Rather than saying that Yayu is a language, it is better to say: Yayu is a song with Chinese characters and languages ​​as its content, with a fixed melody and a fixed beat!
Let's not mention how many people in today's world can speak fluent Zhou family elegant language. Just learning it is definitely not something that ordinary people can learn in three to five years.

However, in order to fight for a chance to "receive the "Shangshu", Chao Cuo spent less than a year learning the elegant language...
"Sigh~"

"In this way, Chao Cuo is extremely talented?"

"Even if you can learn elegant language in a short time, you can be considered a talented person, right?"

Liu Sheng's strange expression made Shentujia's expression a little more serious.

"It's not so much 'innate talent', it's better to say that this person, in order to achieve his own goals, can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and can learn what ordinary people can't learn;"

"As long as he seizes the opportunity, he will never let the opportunity slip away."

"The most frightening thing is: his outstanding talent can support his ambition..."

Said with a gloomy face, Shen Tujia shook his head with a serious expression, and continued: "Chao Cuo became famous when he returned from receiving the book;"

"Borrowing the fame of being awarded the "Book of History" by Jinan Fusheng, Chao Cuo was immediately appointed as Prince Sheren, who also took the official position of a family doctor."

"In a short period of time after that, Chao Cuo was appointed by Emperor Taizong as the doctor of "Shangshu" and served as His Majesty's Prince Zhan, that is, the family order."

"And after becoming a doctor of "Shangshu", Chao Cuo's identity as a Confucian scholar..."

Hearing this, the expressions of the two brothers gradually became a little dignified. They looked at each other for a while, and then took a deep breath in unison.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, the matter of "Chao Cuo accepting the book" is not a big deal at all;
At most, it was Chao Cuo's "foreign language" ability, which allowed Chao Cuo to seize this opportunity and was appreciated by Emperor Taizong.

But in fact, the deep meaning implied by this incident is not as simple as what later generations see on the surface.

About 60 years ago, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, who was able to sweep the six countries and unify the world, issued an edict that will go down in history;

——Book Burning Order.

The Book Burning Order stipulates that all records related to history must be burned except for the history recorded by the Qin people;

Except for the doctor appointed by Qin, no one can privately hide books including poems, books, and allusions from a hundred schools of thought. Except for books about farming, medicine, and divination, all other books must be burned.

After the promulgation of this edict, books have become the most precious and most luxurious things in the world.

Later, the first emperor of Qin died on the sand dunes, and the second emperor succeeded him. When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang ascended the mountain in Daze Township, the world ignited a raging war overnight.

Just three years after the death of the first emperor, the anti-Qin rebel army broke into Xianyang, and Xiang Yu, the leader of the rebel army, immediately ordered: burn Xianyang Palace.

And after Qin Shihuang promulgated the "Book Burning Order", the last copies of the world's books and hundreds of classics hidden in Qin Shiqu Pavilion disappeared with Xiang Yu's fire...

Later, there was a struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony, and the war continued for years;
After the fall of Chu and the prosperity of Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the great ancestor Gao, spent all seven years of his emperor's career to eradicate the forces of princes with different surnames. This was another year of war.

By the time of Taizu Liu Bang's death, the "book" had already become a rare thing that can be encountered but not sought after.

After understanding this background, and looking back at the "Book of History" presented by Jinan Fusheng and Chao Cuo's order to accept the book, we can understand the gold content of this incident in Chao Cuo's political career.

——Jinan Fusheng, one of the seventy doctoral officers appointed by Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, a world-renowned Confucian!

And "Shangshu" is a classic recognized by Confucianism and even hundreds of scholars, and it is even privately called "the art of the emperor" by the academic circles!
Chao Cuo, a petty official with a rank of four hundred shi, who is too familiar with anecdotes, has obtained the world-renowned Confucian Fu Sheng by virtue of his proficiency in elegant language, and he can teach "Shangshu" one-on-one?
It's no wonder that Chao Cuo took advantage of this to soar into the sky, and suddenly became a doctor at the level of [-] stones from a four-hundred-stone anecdote.

——A doctorate in this era is not the same thing as a doctorate in later generations!

Take Chao Cuo, the doctor of Shangshu as an example;
Chao Cuo's appointment as a doctor of "Shangshu" is equivalent to telling the people in the world bluntly: the central government of the court thinks, or recognizes Chao Cuo, is the person who has the most right to speak about "Shangshu" in the world today!
What made Liu Sheng feel even more palpitating was that Chao Cuo, a Legalist scholar who didn't even stick to the bottom line of "School of Punishment", actually used his status as a "Doctor of "Shangshu"" to put on a The skin of Confucianism...

"Compared to the Legalists, the Han School has a much better sense of Confucian scholars."

"Even though Emperor Taizu Gao didn't like Confucian students, at least compared to the 'unforgivable evil' Legalism, Confucianism in the Han Dynasty can barely be regarded as a good academic background."

"In addition, Chao Cuo accepted the "Shangshu", and he became a world-renowned academic master;"

"Chao Cuo also took this opportunity to become His Majesty's Prince's Order under the guise of Confucianism."

"After years of getting along day and night, Chao Cuo has gained His Majesty's trust and trust, and he can almost be regarded as obedient to Chao Cuo."

"It wasn't until the death of Emperor Taizong that Chao Cuo finally tore off the layer of 'Confucian scholar' skin on his body and showed his legalist origin;"

"Knowing this, all officials in the court, officials in the court, and scholars of literature in the world are all shocked!"

"But at that time, Chao Cuo had already been appointed by His Majesty as an internal historian, ranking first among the nine ministers; coupled with His Majesty's intentional protection, even the old man had nothing to do with him..."

When it came to the end, Shentujia only shook his head and sighed for a while, and his brows were full of worry.

He pondered to himself for a long time, and finally saw Shentu Jiaqiang squeeze out a smile, and looked up at the two brothers in front of him.

"This is the origin of Chao Cuo."

"From Chao Cuo's official career, have the two sons gained any thoughts or experiences?"
