Chen Jingke was also startled by her sudden outburst. This was not the usually gentle and generous Queen Wende, she was clearly a lioness.
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Changsun Wugou's tense expression instantly melted, and he smiled and said, "Are you scared? If you disobey me in the future, I will treat you like this."
Chen Jingke shook his head quickly and said: "Don't dare. Being angry will hurt your health. For the sake of your health and our lives, I don't dare to make you unhappy."
The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said, "I guess you can talk."
Next, Sun Simiao performed acupuncture on Li Shimin's head to stimulate brain activity, relieve pain, and promote the absorption of blood congestion.
On the way, the Tai Hospital also sent some boiled medicine and fed it to him. These medicines should have calming ingredients, and he fell asleep not long after drinking them.
After making sure that he was asleep, Chen Jingke tried to ask what happened today, but he actually made Li Shimin so angry.
Changsun Wugou sighed heavily, and without hiding anything, he roughly explained the matter.
Chen Jingke was greatly surprised when he heard that he was so angry because of the clan chronicle compiled by Gao Shilian.
He knew that Li Shimin compiled a clan chronicle in his previous life. Although he did not know the specific process, he was certain that there was no brain hemorrhage due to anger.
He actually became seriously ill in this life. It seems that history has really been changed beyond recognition by the wings of his little butterfly.
But speaking of the matter, he was not interested in clan chronicles at all. He said bluntly: "The clan chronicles are just an alternative nine-level Zhongzheng system. They are also reversing the course of history."
"If you really want to attack the gentry clan, the best way is to use the academic system and the imperial examination system instead of rewriting the clan annals."
The eldest grandson Wugou said angrily: "What do children know? The gentry relies on in-laws to maintain their power."
"If this situation is not broken, no matter how many top talents the imperial court cultivates, they will still be lured away by them through marriage relationships."
"The purpose of the Clan Aspiration is to expose everyone's superstitions about the noble clans, so that they can be isolated step by step."
Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "Of course. I heard that there are more than a hundred volumes of clan chronicles. Who can afford such a huge book? Who is willing to pay for such a useless book?"
"How do ordinary scholars and people know the contents of this book? Even if they know, are they willing to believe it?"
"The most important thing is, how many dignitaries in the DPRK and China do you think will really agree with this set of books?"
Changsun Wugu's mouth was open, but she couldn't say a word. Even her uncle was being cautious about this kind of thing, let alone other people.
After Chen Jingke's analysis, it seems that the clan chronicles are really just a set of books compiled for the emperor himself.
Its fate is to be shelved on the shelf, with almost no chance of promotion. No matter how much paper the royal family makes and how many books they print, it will be useless.
Chen Jingke was afraid that she would get angry out of humiliation, so he quickly said: "Instead of writing a clan chronicle, it is better to make it simpler and use a hundred family names."
The eldest grandson Wugou raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What is the surname of a hundred families?"
Chen Jingke told her about the concept of "Hundred Family Surnames" in his previous life, and then concluded:
"Put the surnames of the royal family first, the relatives of relatives second, the surnames of courtiers who are loyal to the court in order, and the surnames of powerful nobles at the back."
"One Hundred Family Surnames is like a Thousand-Character Essay. It is simple, easy to understand and catchy. It can be used as an enlightenment book."
"One section of the Imperial Examination Examination has a paper with hundreds of family surnames in the cross-word section. Anyone who fills in the question incorrectly will be dismissed. Who dares not to study?"
"In this way, within three to five years, hundreds of surnames will be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and even people who don't know a single Chinese character will be able to recite a few sentences."
"When the people at the lowest level think that Li is the best surname in the world, what can the gentry do if they don't give in?"
Changsun Wugao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he couldn't help but said: "What a great idea, why didn't we think of it? Only by matching the family surnames with the clan annals can it have the greatest effect."
???Chen Jingke had a question mark on his forehead, the surnames of the hundreds of families matched the clan annals? But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but applaud his eldest grandson Wugu.
There are many ways to promote hundreds of surnames with almost no difficulty, even if the nobles object.
When everyone knows the surnames of hundreds of families, they will inevitably become curious, why is the surname Li ranked first?
Everyone who is curious is a potential reader of clan chronicles, and they would not mind reading it if they have the opportunity.
She was able to think of all this just by speaking. She was truly worthy of being Queen Wende, her mind was spinning so fast.
Seeing that the problem she was worried about had been solved, Changsun Wugou seemed very happy, but she did not tell Li Shimin about it immediately.
Let him take good care of himself first, and then think about this matter after he is out of danger.
Sun Simiao was left in the palace at night, and he would stay here for the next few days to ensure that nothing unexpected happened to Li Shimin.
Chen Jingke no longer had to live here. He played with Xiao Sizi for a while and left before the palace door was locked.
Xu Shanying and others had already been waiting at the palace gate, and the two parties met smoothly and headed back.
On the way, I met several people claiming to be the slaves of a powerful person who came to deliver invitations. The owner of the family invited him to be a guest at his house.
Chen Jingke naturally understood what they meant, and regardless of whether it was true or false, he would always slap him in the face: "Go away, if you say one more word, I will kill you."
Those people left in despair.
This matter soon spread to the ears of interested people. Some people scolded him for not knowing how to praise others, while others praised him for his intelligence.
When Chen Jingke returned to the Taoist temple, Wu Shu was already waiting for him.
After meeting, she breathed a sigh of relief and simply asked: "How's it going?"
Chen Jingke said: "It's okay if anger attacks the mind and causes dizziness. It'll be fine after a few days of cultivation."
Wu Shu nodded and did not ask any further questions.
Chen Jingke recounted what happened on the road again, and said: "I didn't read their invitations and just beat them away."
Wu Shu said approvingly: "You did the right thing in this matter. No one knows whether these people are real or fake. If you accept the invitation, it will really be impossible to tell."
"Just beat them away. If the saint asks you, you can also say that you were confused at the time. You didn't read the invitation and forgot which family you were from."
"The saint will not blame you, and you can jump out of the whirlpool."
Chen Jingke said with a smile: "I really didn't think much about it at the time. I just felt that I couldn't accept the invitation, and I was annoyed by these people's shamelessness, so I whipped them a few times."
"After listening to your analysis, I found that what I did was quite right, so I feel relieved."
Wu Shu covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You are calling stupid people lucky."
Chen Jingke feigned anger and said, "Huh? How dare you say that to me? Let's see how I punish you..."
Wu Shu exclaimed: "No... no..."
…
The news that the emperor fell ill in the court spread quickly throughout Chang'an City like the wind, and people were panicked for a while.
