The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 199

Zhao Yao originally thought that Li's library was one building, but he didn't expect it to be three buildings.

These three buildings don't look very high. There are only three floors on the ground, but there are three floors underground, which means that there are six floors in total.The three buildings add up to a total of eighteen floors.These eighteen floors are filled with books.

The three buildings of the library are respectively assigned to Ningshui Pavilion, Ningyong Pavilion and Ningqi Pavilion.

The books in Ningshui Pavilion are all ordinary books, and most of them can be seen outside.

Ningyong Pavilion hides ancient calligraphy and paintings.

What Ningqi Pavilion hides is an orphan copy that has been lost outside.

Walking into the library is like walking into the world of books.

Zhao Yao was deeply shocked by the books in the Li family library.He felt that Li's family had more books than those in Lanyuan Pavilion.

The books in the Ningshui Pavilion of the Li family can be borrowed by relatives and friends.The ancient calligraphy and paintings in Ningyong Pavilion are never borrowed.Only the Li family can borrow the solitary copy in the Ningqi Pavilion, and only with the permission of the head of the Li family.

The fourth prince can freely read the books in the three buildings of Li's house without Li Pushe's consent.

With the four princes leading him, Zhao Yao can follow into Ningyong Pavilion and Ningqi Pavilion.

Zhao Yao was not interested in the ancient calligraphy and paintings of Ningyong Pavilion, and left after looking at them for a while, urging the fourth prince to take him to Ningqi Pavilion.

There was someone guarding the door of Ningqi Pavilion, an old man with gray hair but hale and hearty.His face looked harmless, but his eyes were very sharp.

When he looked over, Zhao Yao thought of Ling Yun's murderous eyes.This old man looks ordinary and doesn't have much momentum, but from the look in his eyes just now, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary old man.

Seeing the fourth prince, the old man immediately showed a respectful expression on his gentle and ordinary face.He was about to stand up and salute the fourth prince, but was stopped by the fourth prince raising his hand.

The fourth prince introduced Zhao Yao to the old man: "This is my tenth brother."

"I've seen ten..." The old man was about to salute Zhao Yao, but was stopped by Zhao Yao.

"I'll bring my tenth brother to see the orphan copy."

The old man nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Please."

The Fourth Prince took Zhao Yao into the Ningqi Pavilion, and introduced to Zhao Yao: "Uncle Wen is an old man of the Li family, and he has guarded the Ningqi Pavilion all his life."

"Then isn't he knowledgeable and talented?"

"Yes, it is said that he has read all the books in the Li family library."

Zhao Yao looked surprised: "That's really amazing."

The layout of Ningqi Pavilion is the same as that of Ningshui Pavilion and Ningyong Pavilion, surrounded by shelves full of books.No, it's not a book, it's bamboo slips.

"Fourth brother, why are they all bamboo slips?"

Zhao Yao walked to a bookshelf on the right, so he picked up a roll of bamboo slips and found that the bamboo slips were a bit new, not old at all.

On the cover of the bamboo slips were engraved characters that Zhao Yao had never read.Curiously, he opened the bamboo slips and found that the characters engraved inside were the same as those on the cover, characters he had neither seen nor recognized.

This character looks very similar to the characters they know now, as if the characters were disassembled, disassembled a little bit, and then reassembled.

"Fourth brother, what is this word, why haven't I seen it before?" It doesn't look like a foreign word either.

The fourth prince took the bamboo slips from Zhao Yao's hands, and said with a smile, "This is a character created by the Li family."

"Ah, self-created characters?" Zhao Yao's pretty and cute face was full of shock, "Fourth brother, can the Li family create their own characters?"

"Well, this is an old ancestor of the Li family who summed up many characters and then created characters belonging to the Li family."

Zhao Yao was stunned: "It's amazing to be able to create characters by yourself!"

"Does this text look strange?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Well, it seems that the characters we are learning now have been disassembled, and then reassembled in a weird way."

"Yes, these characters refer to the characters we know now and the characters of various countries during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods." The fourth prince pointed to the characters on the cover of the bamboo slips and said to Zhao Yao, "This is "Book"."

"Book?" Zhao Yao looked at the weird characters on the bamboo slips, and said with disgust, "How does this look like a book?"

"Don't you feel like an open book?"

"It really looks like that." Zhao Yao asked curiously and doubtfully, "Fourth brother, why did the ancestors of the Li family create their own characters?"

"One is to protect the books, and the other is to keep them secret."

"Secret?" Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, then said immediately, "Do you not want others to snatch it?"

"Yes." The Fourth Prince introduced, "Only the Li family can learn Li family characters."

"Fourth brother, do you know all of them?"

"I know." The fourth prince continued, "Copying the ancient copy in Li's family characters can not only protect the copy, but also prevent the contents of the copy from being leaked."

"Fourth brother, this is wrong." Zhao Yao showed a very serious expression on his small face, "Since it is an orphan copy, it means that it has been lost. What we are doing at this time is not to hide them and not let outsiders know. Instead, let more people know about it, so that the book will not be lost again."

"If everyone hides the book like this and keeps others from knowing about it, then if something happens later, it will be lost again, and it may even disappear. Is that okay?"

"I think books should be passed down from generation to generation, not hidden from generation to generation."

"Fourth brother, it's wrong for your maternal ancestor's family to do this." Zhao Yao said seriously, "As a master of Taixue, Li Pushe's duty is to teach and educate people and spread more knowledge, but Li Pushe It is not right to hide the most precious knowledge in the world from others.”

The fourth prince felt that Zhao Yao's words made sense, but many families would have their own collection of books, and they only wanted to pass them on to their own family members.

"Brother Ten, this cannot be changed."

Zhao Yao thought to himself, when he goes to the fiefdom, he will build a library in Zhao Yao's world in his dream, so that everyone can go in and read books.

"Fourth brother, these are all orphan copies copied in Li's family characters, what about the original orphan copies?"

"It's been treasured in the underground bookstore." After the fourth prince finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yao looking at him with bright eyes, and smiled apologetically at him, "Tenth brother, the lonely book in the underground bookstore cannot be shown to you."

"Why?"

"They are all well preserved and cannot be opened easily, otherwise the lonely copy will be damaged." The fourth prince said, "I haven't even read it."

"So that's the case." Zhao Yao said with a face full of disappointment, "I don't know Li's characters, so I can't understand these bamboo slips."

"Want to see the only copy?"

Zhao Yao nodded repeatedly and said, "I want to see it."

"If you want to read it, I can teach you Li's characters."

"Ah?" Zhao Yao asked in astonishment, "Fourth brother, isn't the Li family character only able to be learned by the Li family? Can I learn it as an outsider?" He is willing to learn from his collection of books.

"You are not an outsider to me, so I can teach you."

"That is, I am the cutest and most beautiful younger brother of the fourth brother!" Zhao Yao said, with a smug smile on his small face.

The fourth prince's eyes were stained with a smile.He stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhao Yao's little head, and said softly, "Yes, you are my cutest brother."

Zhao Yao hurriedly raised his hand to the fourth prince and swore: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will never teach others after I have learned it."

"it is good."

"Fourth brother, is this a secret between the two of us?" Zhao Yao said with a smile, "In the future, if I have any secrets that I can't let others know, I will write it to you in Li's characters."

"this is a good idea."

"Fourth brother, I will study hard." Just after finishing speaking, Zhao Yao suddenly remembered something. The characters used by Zhao Yao in the dream seemed to be called simplified characters, which were different from Da Zhou's characters.

In the dream, the characters in Zhao Yao's world seem to have been transformed into simplified characters through generations.

He felt that the simplified characters in Zhao Yao's world in his dream were pretty nice, and simpler than Da Zhou's characters.The most important thing is that it is easier to write than Da Zhou's handwriting.

Since the Li family has Li family characters, should he get out the simplified characters of Zhao Yao's world in his dream?

"What are you thinking?" The fourth prince took the bamboo slips and gently tapped Zhao Yao's little head.

"Fourth brother, I wonder if Li's characters are difficult to learn?"

"It's not difficult to learn, you can learn it." The fourth prince said, "In the future, you come to my room every night, and I will teach you Li's characters for an hour."

"okay."

Seeing that it was getting late, the Fourth Prince took Zhao Yao out of Ningqi Pavilion and went to his yard.He has his own yard in Li's house, and Zhao Yao lives with him tonight.

It was a coincidence that they came back and met Li Houci who came to deliver the sweet soup.

Li Houci saluted the fourth prince and Zhao Yao first, and said immediately: "This is the sweet soup that grandmother ordered to make for the two highnesses."

Seeing Li Houci, Zhao Yao called out sweetly: "Sister Houci." Then he said with a bright face, "I like sweet soup the most."

The fourth prince took the food box from Li Houci, "Thank you."

"Your Highness is being polite." Li Houci smiled softly, "Then I will not bother Your Highness."

"Sister Houci, won't you sit down for a while?"

"No, it's getting late, so I won't disturb your highnesses to rest." Li Houci blessed himself slightly, then turned and left.

"Let's go in."

Zhao Yao winked at the fourth prince and said, "Fourth brother, why don't you let sister Houci come down and drink sweet soup with us?"

"It's getting late, it's not appropriate for her to stay with me."

"Fourth brother, do you like sister Houci, is sister Houci going to become my fourth sister-in-law in the future..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yao's little head was knocked hard by the fourth prince.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Yao smirked twice: "The fourth brother is shy, so I won't say anything."

"Do you still want to drink sweet soup?"

"I want to drink." Zhao Yao said obediently, "I won't say anything."

After Li Houci personally delivered the sweet soup, he returned to his yard.

Li Houen and Li Houshan were waiting for her in her yard. Seeing her return, they hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, are they back?"

"Just came back."

"Why did Your Highness bring the Tenth Prince to our family's library?" Li Houen said with some dissatisfaction, "Forget about Ningshui Pavilion, Ningyong Pavilion and Ningqi Pavilion are not allowed for outsiders to enter."

"To Your Highness, the Tenth Prince is not an outsider." Li Houci looked helplessly at Li Houen, who looked unhappy, "Housen, why are you so dissatisfied with His Highness?"

"The Tenth Prince does not deserve His Highness to treat him so well."

"Whether you deserve it or not is up to you. The Tenth Prince is His Highness' younger brother and also a guest of our family. Put away your dissatisfaction." Li Houci warned with a cold face.

Li Houen was frightened by Li Houci's stern look, and nodded obediently: "I see."

At this time, a man in black suddenly appeared in He Lianfang's room.

He Lianfang handed him a letter.After he received the letter, he disappeared without a sound.

The hidden guards hiding in the dark and watching did not notice the existence of the man in black.

　The second is coming.

　　The two updates add up to more than 8000 words, so there is no third update tonight.

　　Finally, ask for a monthly ticket! ! ! !
