Chapter 117: One script, one track
If I had known that this guy had this obsession, why would I have gone to so much trouble?
They arrested him, pretended to implement the county system, and forced him to accept the Yongdi.
The First Emperor did not keep Ying Chengjiao in suspense, and said cheerfully: "The Taoist classic Zhuangzi says: If you have sex with three thousand women, you will attain the Tao and ascend to heaven. The Yin-Yang classic Zouzi says: If a man has sex with a thousand women during the day, he will become an immortal, and if a woman has sex with a thousand men at night, she will become a god."
"According to the legend that the Yellow Emperor's technique was left by the Yellow Emperor, and the rumor that the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven by having sex with women, after much discussion, various schools of thought finally proposed a possibility to me - if you have sex with 3,000 women a day, you should be able to retain your skills and break free of your virginity, or even ascend to heaven in broad daylight."
Ying Chengjiao looked at the First Emperor with a puzzled look in his head and said, "Can you lose your virginity by having sex with three thousand women a day? Can you ascend to heaven in broad daylight? Brother, can you tell me how to have sex? Just test your ability?"
The First Emperor remained calm and did not look at Ying Chengjiao. He continued to pace back and forth on the bookshelf, looking like he was seriously looking for a book to read.
He said weakly, "It's over."
End of fun?
Three thousand women are exhausted?
The joy on Ying Chengjiao's face froze, and his hands that were grabbing the First Emperor's shoulders lost strength.
"Brother, have I offended you recently?"
"Disobeying my orders, rebelling, resisting arrest, knocking me unconscious, issuing imperial decrees in private, approving memorials without authorization..."
"Okay, even if I did all those things, are you going to kill me for that? Putting aside the facts, are you not at fault at all?"
The First Emperor: ???
His originally wandering eyes suddenly focused and he turned to look at Ying Chengjiao, who was serious.
The almighty Qin Shi Huang had never heard such vulgar and unreasonable words in his life.
"When did I want to kill you? Put aside the facts? What are we going to talk about? How can we talk about it? If you don't talk about the facts, you will say that I am wrong. If you were not my brother, you would have been torn to pieces by a chariot right now. How can you speak like a human being?"
"Okay, then I'll give you something real."
Ying Chengjiao started shouting loudly, and his voice could be heard within a radius of ten meters.
"Explain to me what the meaning of 'exhaustion' is. Explain to me what the meaning of 'exhaustion' is!"
The Emperor's eyes suddenly wandered again, and he said with embarrassment, "What is there to explain?"
"I asked you to explain it to me! What! It means to be exhausted!"
The First Emperor was furious and said, "You are such a fool, don't you really understand? Do you still need me to explain this to you? I am so happy!"
"I just want you to explain to me what it means to be exhausted!"
"Excited! Are you not familiar with it?"
"Explain it to me! What does his mother mean by "excitement"? What does his mother mean? "Excitement" to his mother!
"You insist on asking me, the emperor? I told you so clearly!"
The First Emperor missed Gai Nie.
If Gai Nie were here, he would have explained it to him long ago.
Gai Nie dares to say anything with that expressionless face.
"It's so exciting! It's so exciting! It's so exciting! It's his mother's excitement!"
Zhao Gao at the door squeezed his legs together, his face looked very ugly, and he suffered 10,000 points of critical damage.
Two beautiful maids with slim figures and curvaceous bodies passed by, giggling and whispering to each other.
"Hehe, Master Jun is being a hooligan again. I don't know when he will come to my room."
"You're overthinking. You're new here. There's no such thing as having a blast or enjoying yourself. No sister in the mansion has ever been favored. The master only picks wild flowers, not domestic flowers."
"Then why am I entering the mansion... I'm going to climb into Lord Jun's bed at night!"
"I advise you to give up this idea. With Duke Lu guarding your side at night, no one can take your body."
Inside the study, Ying Chengjiao's voice became louder and louder, and he was already roaring.
"To have sex with three thousand women in one day and make them all extremely happy is the way to achieve enlightenment. Anyone who says this must be insane! Hysterical! Insane! Forget three thousand, even if an ordinary person has three women! His waist and knees will be sore that he will have difficulty getting up and walking."
"Three thousand women, which man can do it? It is true that three thousand women can ascend to heaven. If someone can do it, he will ascend to heaven!"
Ying Chengjiao had not known that the Yellow Emperor's martial arts technique contained a method of preserving one's internal strength and having become accustomed to despair over the years.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng told him that "Huangdi" could help him lose his virginity, giving him hope, and he was so excited.
The final result was this, and Ying Chengjiao fell into despair again.
The most painful thing for a person is not being in hell.
Instead, people in hell are taken to heaven by angels to play for a day, and then kicked back to hell by God at night.
The First Emperor smiled awkwardly, obviously knowing that his statement was a bit outrageous. He just endured Ying Chengjiao's insults without making any defense.
"I will look for a way to crack it for you. Tomorrow I will trouble you to go to Yongdi to bring the Queen Mother back to Xianyang."
"Wouldn't it be a violation of the bet if I went to Yongdi? I won't go!"
"You bastard, you broke your promise again! You clearly promised me before!"
"You won't break your promise? Come on, don't say I'm bullying you. It doesn't take one day, Yin-Yang School, Taoism. Can you find someone in this world who can seduce three thousand women non-stop? I'll kneel from Xianyang to Yongdi. Let Zhao Xianglu step on my back, and I'll carry her and crawl back!"
The First Emperor knew that he was wrong, so he pretended not to hear and walked to the bookshelf on the other side to find a book, changing the subject.
"Thirty years from now, the paper and movable type printing here will be able to be distributed throughout the country as you wish. At that time, I will no longer need to approve bamboo slips."
Ying Chengjiao's mind was now filled with the thought of losing his virginity, and he had no intention of caring about movable type printing, paper, or the First Emperor's approval.
He pulled the First Emperor's clothes.
"Get out, get out. If you can't find a way to crack the Yellow Emperor, we won't meet again."
"You little brat! Why are you so obsessed with the things between men and women?"
"You don't care about what medicine you want Xia Wuqi to prescribe for you? Why are you learning Taoist sex techniques?"
Ying Chengjiao sneered and pulled out a book from the First Emperor's arms. The title of the book was "91 Learning Materials".
The First Emperor looked embarrassed again.
I clearly blocked his sight with my body, so how did he see my collection of books?
"Brother, you put my 91st Learning Materials in your arms because you feel your martial arts skills are too weak and want to practice Yellow Emperor?"
"The more you practice Huangdi, the stronger your lust becomes. In the past, practitioners would soak their bodies in cold water to suppress evil thoughts. You did the opposite to achieve quick success, and used this book as a supplement. I am afraid that you will go astray, so I took it away."
Ying Chengjiao did not expose the First Emperor. He nodded and pushed the First Emperor out.
"Since my royal brother is so concerned about me, please find a way for me to break my virginity and retain my power as soon as possible."
"Wait wait wait, I haven't said anything yet."
"For me, finding a way to break the virginity and retain the power is the most correct thing. I don't want to hear anything else."
"If you don't listen, don't ask me to do anything for you."
Ying Chengjiao stopped and said unhappily, "If you have something to say, just fart."
The First Emperor knew that Ying Chengjiao was in a very bad mood, but he didn't take it seriously and straightened his clothes.
He placed one hand in front of Ying Chengjiao and glanced at the "91 Study Materials" in Ying Chengjiao's hand.
Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was obvious - give it to me.
Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but say, "You haven't found a way for me to lose my virginity and retain my power, and you still have the nerve to force me to take my book? You want money and people, and now you even want to take my book. Are you here to get something from me?"
The First Emperor did not understand what "daqiufeng" meant, but from the context, he deduced that it should be similar to "plunder" and "rob".
The First Emperor did not show any surprise at hearing the new words. He weighed his hands and his face showed a bit of the rogue look that often appeared on Ying Chengjiao's face.
"I want this 91 Study Materials to help me research how to make you lose your virginity and retain your power. Will you give it to me?"
What the hell is assistance!
This "91 Learning Materials" was written by me!
It has nothing to do with "Yellow Emperor", you old pervert!
Ying Chengjiao was roaring in his heart.
He threw the "91 Study Materials" heavily into the hands of the First Emperor, causing severe pain in his left palm, which was more painful than a full-strength palm hit on concrete.
Squeak
Zhao Gao sensed some movement inside the door, tensed up, and opened it to look.
"Get out!" the First Emperor shouted angrily.
"Yes!" Zhao Gao responded and closed the door.
Holding the "91" study materials, the First Emperor was amazed.
This guy is really ruthless!
"If I hadn't been unprepared, how could you have taken advantage of me?"
Keep pretending, my brother.
Your left hand is filled with all your internal energy. This is called being defenseless.
"Brother, you are right-handed. Why don't you use your right hand to receive it?"
Will I tell you that my right hand became red and swollen from hitting concrete?
The First Emperor naturally held the book in both hands and put it behind his back, saying, "You have said too much."
"I just saw a little cement and sand evenly distributed on the palm of your right hand. Fu Zikang will tell you that cement burns your hands. There is cement on your hands. Did you hit the concrete? Brother, this is the disadvantage of low martial arts. You can't even hit the concrete, and it hurts your hand instead."
Why is this guy's eyes so sharp?
Seeing that the First Emperor looked unhappy, Ying Chengjiao knew that he had guessed right.
The attack hit the First Emperor's sore spot, and his mood improved a little.
"The erotic paintings are also leaving. Does my brother have any other 'business' to do?"
Ying Chengjiao deliberately put emphasis on the word "zhengshi" to express his dissatisfaction with his brother Ying Zheng.
"After implementing the parallel system of counties and kingdoms, issuing the Enfeoffment Order, and building the Great Highway, what should I do?"
In fact, the First Emperor only came to recruit Li Mu and had no other business.
However, when Ying Chengjiao said that cement had already been prepared and was waiting for road construction, the First Emperor realized that his younger brother had a far-sighted vision and was extremely forward-looking, so he asked this question.
Ying Chengjiao impatiently took out a book called "Simplified Chinese Characters and Large Seal Script Comparison Table" from the bookshelf and handed it to Ying Zheng.
The First Emperor put his hands behind his back, and his left hand was still shaking.
After taking a look at this "Simplified Chinese Characters and Large Seal Characters Comparison Table", I had no intention of taking it over.
Ying Chengjiao snorted coldly and said, "I don't need to use any strength."
The First Emperor took it with his right hand and said, "I am afraid you will use too much force? I am afraid you will be hurt. What is this book?"
Ying Chengjiao couldn't help laughing when he saw the redness and swelling on the First Emperor's right hand as he held the book.
He reached out and grabbed Ying Zheng's right hand, and used his internal force to dissolve the blood clots on Ying Zheng's right palm. Soon, the First Emperor's right hand returned to its normal size.
The First Emperor moved and felt no pain, itching or numbness.
Apart from being a little redder than usual, there was nothing unusual.
Zhao Gao and Gai Nie could also do this, but the First Emperor felt that it would undermine the emperor's dignity and did not allow them to do it.
"This is the writing I saw in my dream. My royal brother abolished the writing of the seven nations and wanted the whole world to use this writing system. We should unify the writing system first. My royal brother, please ask those doctors to study the writing system carefully. If there are any improvements, let them discuss with each other. But there is one thing you must remember: minor details can be modified, but the general idea cannot be changed."
Ying Chengjiao was extremely serious.
The reason why he said this was that the Qin State's writing at that time was still in large seal script.
The characteristics of the Great Seal Script are standardization and linearization. The uneven lines become even and soft, and the character structure tends to be neat.
Before the Great Seal Script, characters were more like pictures than words, which are called pictograms.
For example, the pictograph of the character “龟” looks like a little turtle. It can be filled with one stroke more or one stroke less, as long as it looks like a little turtle.
The emergence of Large Seal Script marked an important node in which characters were separated from pictures and used fixed lines and structures to express actual meaning.
The Great Seal Script laid the foundation for Chinese characters in later generations and also retained some pictorial remnants of pictographic characters.
The simplified Chinese characters that Ying Chengjiao took out at this time can be said to be incompatible with this era. This is a modern version of Chinese characters.
Simplified Chinese characters have completely broken away from the category of pictographic characters. They are characters created by the country with the efforts of the entire country in order to enlighten the people.
In simplified Chinese characters, there are almost no graphic residues, and everything is just for simplicity, ease of memory and convenience.
For example, the traditional Chinese character “龍” (dragon) winds and coils like a large animal.
But the simplified Chinese character for “dragon” has basically nothing left.
The difference between traditional and simplified Chinese is so great, not to mention the difference between large seal script and simplified Chinese.
If it weren't for the "Simplified Characters and Large Seal Script Comparison Table" written by Ying Chengjiao, the people of the Qin Dynasty would never have been able to guess what simplified characters meant. They couldn't tell what simplified characters were from the shape or font.
The biggest obstacle to promoting simplified Chinese characters also comes from this. People who can read will be extremely disgusted by these simplified Chinese characters, which have no aesthetic appeal and no logic in their eyes.
If simplified characters and the seven languages are put together, scholars all over the world will be asked to choose one as the unified language.
It can be said that people who choose simplified Chinese characters are rare.
The writing systems of the seven countries were all derived from oracle-bone inscriptions and pictographic characters.
These characters, which seem completely different to us later generations, had something in common in the eyes of literate people at that time.
People who read will definitely choose the languages of the seven countries that they are familiar with and understand.
The small seal script originally promoted in history was an improvement on the large seal script, and it still possesses the beauty and logic that were recognized by people of the time.
Ying Chengjiao intercepted the call halfway and replaced the small seal script with simplified characters.
In order to integrate into this era, Ying Chengjiao can allow those doctors to add a little beauty and logic to simplified Chinese characters.
But generally speaking, Ying Chengjiao would never allow it.
This is not a thought from the previous life, nor is it Ying Chengjiao's willfulness.
But these scholars account for less than half of the world's population.
For those who are illiterate , learning simplified characters is obviously much faster than learning small seal script and large seal script.
The faster the writing is unified, the faster the survivors of the six kingdoms will identify with the Qin State, and the faster the process of ethnic integration in various regions will be.
Only by using simplified characters could the Qin Dynasty integrate people's hearts as quickly as possible, eliminate barriers between countries, and stabilize the country.
But the price to pay for achieving this effect is to become an enemy of all scholars in the world.
If Ying Chengjiao traveled through time and the emperor sitting on the throne was not the First Emperor, Ying Chengjiao would definitely not have made a "Simplified Chinese Characters and Large Seal Characters Comparison Table".
Chinese dynasties.
An emperor who dared to bear thousands of insults, took drastic measures, carried out comprehensive reforms as long as he believed it was right, and was brave enough to move forward, even at the cost of making enemies with the whole world.
There was only the First Emperor.
When the First Emperor saw Ying Chengjiao's expression, he thought it was exactly the same as when he asked him to implement the parallel system of counties and kingdoms and the Enfeoffment Order.
The First Emperor knew that this was another major event that could affect the world.
The First Emperor casually threw the "91 Learning Materials" that he had just begged for on the side of the table and placed the "Simplified Chinese Characters and Large Seal Characters Comparison Table" in front of him.
He sat upright, extremely serious, and opened the first page of the book very seriously.
This flip.
What was opened was not just the "Simplified Chinese Characters and Large Seal Characters Comparison Table".
It is also a new chapter for the Chinese nation - one language, one writing system.
