Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"'Gong' is..." Li Xiaogong paused, "The sound of this word is the same as 'gong'! Kungfu's power!"

As if afraid of being asked by Li You again, Li Xiaogong added it on purpose.

"How to pronounce the word 'gong'?"

Li Xiaogong answered more slowly at this time: "This word...sounds like 'worker'! Worker of the Ministry of Works!"

"How do you pronounce the word 'gong'?"

When Li You asked here, Li Xiaogong stopped talking, and he finally understood what Li You meant!

Chapter 451 The Almighty Pinyin! (third more)

Li Xiaogong finally realized that there are not many words with the same pronunciation as "Gong". Just the first word.

So how do you learn the pronunciation of this first word?There are no more homophones!

Seeing that Li Xiaogong didn't speak anymore, Li You turned to look at many of the officials and officials, who were all brooding.

"As you can see, this is the drawback of the current learning method! I want to learn the pronunciation of the word 'gong', is it possible that I have to learn all homophones first? This is simply the most cumbersome and inefficient. Way!"

Although Li You just demonstrated it by way of an example on the spot, many civil servants were still dissatisfied after hearing it.

After all, they were all learned this way. Even the people they have been learning for so many years have not opened their mouths. How can you say that as a teenage child - this is not good or bad?

Could it be that with your more than ten years of experience and knowledge, you still consider yourself to be more powerful than our decades?

Someone immediately said unconvinced: "This method has been used since ancient times, and it is the best method at present. If His Royal Highness the King of Chu thinks it is not good, can there be a better method?"

"Of course there is!"

Li You replied without hesitation, which made everyone startled.

Really? !

Their first reaction is naturally disbelief. What are you kidding me? With this method accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, why do you say that you have a better method than it?

Before they could ask questions, Li You took the lead in saying, "Take the homophone of Fangcai as an example, let me ask you all, is it difficult to memorize 60 words?"

Xiao Yu was the first to answer: "Of course it's not difficult...it can even be said to be extremely easy, as long as an individual can do it."

Li You nodded and said: "Okay, with this method, I only need to memorize 60 symbols and use them to spell out the pronunciation of all the words in the world! In this way, literacy can also be multiplied with half the effort. !"

"This method is called Pinyin!"

As soon as Li You's words fell, all the officials and officials fell into a riot!

"It's impossible! How can there be such a convenient trick in the world?"

"Yeah, with just 60 symbols, you can spell out all the words in the world, that's called fairy magic!"

"Since ancient times, trying to make tricks has no good end!"

There is no doubt that all of them don't believe it. According to Li You's words, aren't these 60 symbols omnipotent?

Looking at the chaotic civil servants and generals, Li You also sighed.

These 60 symbols undoubtedly refer to the 23 initials and 37 finals in Hanyu Pinyin. On this basis, with 4 tones, the pronunciation can indeed cover almost all Chinese words!

However, this method of pinyin was first born from a missionary in the seventeenth century. Therefore, the strong distrust of the officials and officials in the things they had never seen was also expected by Li You. .

"His Royal Highness Chu King said it lightly!" Li Xiaogong snorted coldly, "But it can't be proved to be useful at all! Does His Highness want to use such a whimsical method to bypass the request to solve this problem?"

"His Royal Highness Chu King said it lightly!" Li Xiaogong snorted coldly, "But it can't be proved to be useful at all! Does His Highness want to use such a whimsical method to bypass the request to solve this problem?"

The rest of the civil servants and military generals also felt reasonable when they heard the words. In this way, Li You could shirk and say that it was not that he did not give a solution, but that you all opposed it and therefore failed to implement it.

Li You didn't panic at all, and asked with a smile: "Then according to Lord Li's opinion, how do you want to prove that this king's method is useful?"

Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up immediately and said, "It's very simple, we just need to recruit two groups of illiterate people, one group to teach in our traditional way, the other group to teach in the way of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, check the results after ten days, see See which group of people can read the most!"

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard it. This is indeed the most intuitive comparison.

"Okay, then this matter will be entrusted to your Ministry of Rites. I will sort out the specific content of pinyin when I go back."

0

Li You nodded and readily agreed.

Li Xiaogong was quite surprised by this response. It felt a bit beyond his expectations. He thought that Li You would perfunctory directly... Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really so confident? !

……

This time, the early court ended with everyone's discussion. This showdown between the regent and the important ministers was a rare event.

It can even be said that the influence of this victory or defeat will spread throughout the entire imperial court!

If Li You, the king of Chu, wins, then his already super powerful momentum will be strengthened again, and almost no one can check and balance him. This undoubtedly represents the power of Li You, the king of Chu, to control the court. Another step up.

……

And if Li Xiaogong wins, then it will be a victory for the officials and officials. In the future, they will be more confident when facing Li You, and will undoubtedly be more handy in controlling the direction of political affairs.

Naturally, such a major event could not be concealed from Li Shimin.

So that night, Li Shimin called Li You directly.

"Yang Jie, I've heard about your performance a few days ago. It's really good. It can be said to be very good... But what's the situation today?"
