Chapter 577 Determination



Chapter 577 Determination
The first dictionary in Chinese history, called "Shuowen Jiezi", was compiled by Xu Shen in the Han Dynasty.

The original work was written from 100 AD to 121 AD, and it has long since been lost to later generations. Most of the handed down versions are Song Dynasty versions or Qing Dynasty commentaries.The original text is written in small seal script, and the source of the font is explained word by word. After Xu Shen wrote it, it was dedicated to Emperor Han An.

As for the title of "Shuowen Jiezi", the original author Xu Shen explained it as follows: Cangjie wrote a book at the beginning, and it was based on pictographs, so it was called a text.After that, the shape and sound are mutually beneficial, that is, the word.Literary writers are the foundation of things and images; calligraphy writers are full of milk and rich in words.

At the beginning of Cangjie's creation of characters, he drew shapes according to the types of objects, so it was called "Wen"; later he created the characters with understanding and phonetic characters to increase the number of characters, and these characters were called "characters".That is to say, "Wen" is the original pictograph, and "Zi" is like the child born of these pictographs.

"Shuowen Jiezi" created a precedent for radical inspection of characters, and most of the dictionaries of later generations adopted this method.Duan Yucai of the Qing Dynasty called this book "an unprecedented book, created by Xu Junzhi".

Indexed by pinyin and radicals, and explaining the meaning of each word in detail, such a dictionary has never been seen in ages. It is conceivable that once the compilation is successful, it will cause a sensation.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the uncle Sun Bao, a doctor from the State of Lu, said: "The supreme leader has established virtue, followed by meritorious deeds, and secondly has established words. Although it will not be abandoned for a long time, these are called three immortality." Kong Yingda also said: "To establish virtue means to create a subjugated law. To give generously to the public; to make meritorious deeds is to save adversity and remove difficulties, and the merits are at the right time; to establish words to say that words have their essence, and the reason is sufficient to pass on.”

It can be seen that for literati, writing a book and making a statement is "making a statement", and being able to compile a far-reaching classic such as the "Dictionary" is enough to enshrine the gods in one book!
Fang Jun naturally wanted to leave such a good thing to his cheap dad.

Fang Xuanling has enough knowledge, qualifications, and status. As long as the "Dictionary" is completed, it is equivalent to giving the Fang family a talisman.Even if Fang Xuanling becomes an official in the future, even if Fang Jun has no office or position, as long as he does not rebel, the descendants of the Fang family will be safe and sound in the Tang Dynasty.

The respect for Great Confucianism in this era is a social behavior, and the status of Great Confucianism is absolutely transcendent!
While we were chatting, a servant from Zhuangzi came: "Erlang, the master has just returned and ordered you to go to Zhuangzi immediately."

Fang Jun nodded, Dad was probably unable to sit still because of the impeachment incident in the court, and he just wanted to meet Dad and ask about countermeasures.Fang Xuanling has been standing for decades, and this ability is genuine.

Then he said to Shangguanyi: "Zhuangzi is relatively quiet and suitable for reading. Brother Shangguan will go to Chongxian Hall during the day and live in Zhuangzi at night. Someone will clean up a guest room for you, and everything will be fine."

Shangguanyi wanted to resign, but thinking that Fang Jun had even done such a great favor for him to recommend him to His Royal Highness, what else is there to be polite?He cupped his hands gratefully and said, "Since this is the case, Brother Yu is ashamed."

Fang Jun smiled and said, "That's right! Brother Shangguan, please sit here for a while, and I will go to see my father and listen to his teachings."

Although Shangguanyi is not an official, he has heard a little about the impeachment of Fang Jun by the court group. Knowing that Fang Jun is going to ask Fang Xuanling for advice on how to deal with it, it is naturally inconvenient for others to be by his side, and said: "Erlang will go by himself, Brother Yu is just in time. Please teach me how wonderful this pinyin is."

Fang Jun instructed the teacher to entertain Shangguanyi well and not to be neglected, so he left and walked towards Zhuangzi.

*****
In the main hall, Fang Xuanling sat on the Taishi chair while drinking tea.

Fang Jun came in to greet him first, then sat down under Fang Xuanling, and his maid served tea.

Fang Xuanling raised his eyes and glanced at his second son. Seeing Fang Jun sitting calmly and calmly, and even squinting his eyes to taste the taste of tea carefully, he nodded slightly. The outstanding concentration that does not change his face is a material for great things!

After pondering for a while, Fang Xuanling asked, "Do you know everything about the court?"

Fang Jun replied, "Yes, I just came back from Tai Chi Palace."

"Oh?" Fang Xuanling was a little surprised. Did he go to see the emperor?Could it be that he is going to intercede, hoping that His Majesty will open up and not be influenced by the pressure of the censor, and thus deal with him?Or go and slander at His Majesty and hit those censors' officials?

From what I know of my son, both of these situations are very likely to happen...

Then he asked Fang Jun's intentions in detail.

Fang Jun succinctly repeated what he said to His Majesty Li Er.

Fang Xuanling was very pleased and praised: "Well done! Being an official is like being a human being, you have to do what you have to do and what you don't do. Compared with the isolation of the court's words, what is the ups and downs of personal honor and disgrace? What? As long as we stay upright and full of integrity, a little slander, like a breeze blowing on the face, will eventually disappear without a trace. History is just, maybe those greedy people who have no ethics can be proud for a while, but they will eventually be reviled by future generations. !"

Not only is his son outstanding in talent and ability, but he also possesses such courage. He is willing to endure humiliation and burdens for the future of the empire. How can he not make Fang Xuanling, who has always been upright and honest, feel great comfort?

Eternal righteousness, when it is!

Fang Jun was a little dumbfounded, he really did not approve of His Majesty Li Er's killing the censor, but he didn't say that he planned to swallow it up!

Touching his nose, Fang Jun said, "That... Actually, it's okay to fight back."

Fang Xuanling was stunned, and turned displeased: "You are deeply favored by the emperor at a young age, but you can't bear such a grievance? You yourself said that once His Majesty's punishment is severe, I am afraid that the way of the Tang Dynasty will be blocked from now on. Since then, there is no one who dares to speak. This is the hidden danger of the empire! Even if you endure this time, what can you do? You have not yet reached the weak crown this year. Your Majesty knows in your heart that you have been wronged, and how can you not compensate you in the future? ? Compared with your breath now, it is more beneficial to endure this grievance!"

Fang Jun was helpless, how could he not settle the account?

The crux of the problem is that 1 years is too long, we are only fighting for the day...

If the position of the chief executive is now gone, and His Majesty Li Er is about to launch the Eastern Expedition, and then fight a battle for two or three years, how much aggressiveness can His Majesty Li Er have at that time?Every wise and wise emperor, in his old age, will be pervertedly obsessed with the status of the court and the stability of the world. At that time, the old emperor will not die for a while, and the new emperor will not be able to ascend to the throne. In the future, is it not worth paying for it?

At the very least, wasting half your life is inevitable.

Fang Jun couldn't bear this result!
Fang Jun thought for a while, looked at his father, and said softly, "Father, you are about to start your career..."

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, then silent.

To work...  

Once upon a time, the young Junyan who went to Guanzhong from Qingzhou to take refuge with Li Shimin was already depressed and old.Fang Xuanling's life was full of ups and downs, from an unknown little scholar to the emperor Zaifu who ruled the world, a wonderful and heroic death without regret.It is a great joy in life to be able to work steadily in old age, and then teach, study, write and speak!
But what will happen to the children and grandchildren after they are employed?
For His Majesty Li Er, Fang Xuanling was not very relieved.This emperor is wise and martial, but his contradictory personality is really a great worry.If I were alive, thinking of the love that I have devoted myself to for so many years, I would laugh off no matter how big a mistake, just like the eldest grandson's family involved in a treason case...

Who can say that His Majesty does not show affection and does not reminisce about old feelings?
But if you die...

Fang Xuanling didn't know what his Majesty Li Er's attitude towards the Fang family would be.

Wei Zheng is the best example.Wei Zheng has always been known all over the world for his remarks, and he has repeatedly contradicted His Majesty Li Er with disregard for his face, but His Majesty Li Er has been saying, "After Zhenguan, do your best to me, dedicate your loyalty to me, and make peace with the people. The only person who is called by the world is Wei Zheng. Why should you add a famous official in ancient times?"

Very wise man, right?
However, recently Wei Zheng was terminally ill, and he was afraid that he would not be able to endure the spring. As a result, there was already a rumor in the palace that the emperor was dissatisfied with Wei Zheng for spreading the content of "Zi Ju Zhu".Fang Xuanling, who is well versed in His Majesty Li Er's temperament, knows that even if Wei Zheng dies, he is afraid that his honor will not be guaranteed.
