Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

After Li Yuanchang left, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing out loud!
"Son-in-law! I really have you!"

"Look at scaring King Liang!"

Yang Zhuo dropped the chalk tip and clapped his hands. Li Shimin didn't know the inside story. If he knew, if he hadn't changed the history, the King of Liang would instigate Li Chengqian to rebel in the future. I guess he wouldn't be able to laugh!

However, Yang Zhuo didn't say this anymore. After all, King Liang had learned a lesson this time, and he was far away from Chang'an City, so he couldn't make a big wave!

"Old Li! This is what punctuation marks are for!"

"This ancient way of punctuating sentences can easily cause ambiguity."

Yang Zhuo smiled.

"Son-in-law is right." Li Shimin nodded, still immersed in the joy of playing with King Liang just now, and didn't pay much attention to it.

"With punctuation marks, the government orders you issued, Old Li, will not be deliberately misinterpreted by those who are interested, and the people will also be able to intuitively know the true meaning of your government orders!"

Mentioning this, Li Shimin's eyes froze!
It really is!
He often issued government orders, and there were always situations where government orders were not delivered!

After being questioned, they still quibbled, saying that their own understanding was wrong!
You speak clearly and logically, and you took a loophole!This made Li Shimin very irritable!
"This government order is easier to talk about, especially in the military. If the military order is conveyed, it will cause ambiguity because of the punctuation! It tells you to attack the north, but you understand it as an attack on the south! This will be troublesome!" Yang Zhuo continued.

When Li Shimin heard this, he had a special understanding!
When he was marching and fighting in the past, when he issued military orders, he was afraid of being misunderstood, so he had to think twice before issuing them every time!
If it is distributed according to Yang Zhuo's punctuation marks, it will not cause misunderstandings!
This method is great!
"Yes! This punctuation mark is really useful!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"In addition, with this punctuation mark, it is much easier for children from poor families to study."

"This poor boy doesn't have a famous teacher to guide him, so he spends a lot of energy just punctuating the sentence, and sometimes he even doesn't understand it, and gets into a misunderstanding. But with punctuation marks, these problems will no longer exist!"

After Yang Zhuo finished speaking, Li Shimin was stunned.

"No way! This punctuation mark still has this effect??" Li Shimin felt that this was a bit exaggerated?

"If you don't believe me, look at this example."

"A sentence from Confucius' Analects."

"The people can know what they don't know."

"Old Li! Tell me, what does it mean?" Yang Zhuo looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin read this sentence!

However, I have never understood it.

"It should be a sentence like this. The Master said: The people can learn from it, but they can't know it."

"That is to say, when the king rules the people, he just instructs them to do things, and he doesn't need to make them understand why they do what they do."

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said, this is what his former teacher explained to him.

Yang Zhuo shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's wrong! You see, your punctuation misinterpreted the meaning of Confucius. He didn't advocate fooling the people!"

Li Shimin was stunned, how should he conclude the sentence?
"No way! Then what should I do?!"

Yang Zhuo smiled and looked at Li Zhi.

"Zhier, please explain."

Li Zhi came on stage happily again!

"Father! You should conclude the sentence like this!"

"The Master said: If the people can do it, let them do it; if they can't do it, let them know it."

Li Shimin looked at this punctuation in surprise!
The meaning is really different!
"Father! As I said earlier, the master said: Prosper in poetry, establish in ritual, and succeed in music. Master said: If the people can do it, let them do it; if they can't, let them know it."

"Poetry, ritual, and music are the foundation of educating the people, and we must do a good job."

"If the people have mastered poetry, rites, and music, good! Let them play freely; if the people still can't play these things, we must educate them and let them know and understand these things!"

After Li Zhi explained, Li Shimin was confused!

It turned out that the teacher had misled him all these years!

No wonder!Li Shimin always felt that something was wrong!

"Listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books!" Li Shimin was extremely emotional, "This punctuation mark is indeed extremely important!"

"I want it to be promoted nationwide! From now on, all documents must be punctuated!"

Li Shimin sighed, this Yang Zhuo is a treasure house!It amazes him every time!

……

In other words, Xue Yantuo's envoy returned to Xue Yantuo with the token from Li Shimin.

Yi Nan Khan summoned them immediately.

"Khan! This is a token from Princess Datang!"

With trembling hands, the envoy handed the treasure box to Yi Nan Khan.

Yi Nan Khan opened the treasure box, and saw a string of crystal clear beads inside!

The color is very good!
The texture is translucent and free of impurities!
"This glazed bracelet is really gorgeous! Come to think of it, it's priceless!"

"Then Li Shimin, who has always been stingy, did not expect to be so generous this time!"

Yi Nan Khan laughed, feeling that Li Shimin was giving him a lot of face!

Mei Ji, who was beside Yi Nan Khan, was also fascinated by the crystal clear glass bracelet!
"This glass is so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

"Yes! I have never seen such a beautiful glass bracelet before!"

"Khan, can I touch my body?"

Women love jewellery, especially such fine glass beads!
It made my eyes shine!Touch it quickly, it's worth dying for!

They don't know that the price of this glass bracelet is only a few copper coins!

"No! No!"

"If such a treasure is damaged by you, it will be troublesome!" Yi Nan Khan hurriedly put away the treasure box.

I imagined in my heart that to be able to wear such a precious glazed bead string, she must be an extremely favored princess!

This dowry must be very rich!
Although he has to give a dowry here, compared with the dowry, he certainly can't lose much!

"Khan, Tang Wang Li Shimin, he promised that as long as Khan collects the betrothal gifts, he will bring the betrothal gifts himself and arrive before June [-]th."

"Tang King Li Shimin will personally escort the princess to marry Xue Yantuo!"

Envoys, you are so excited!

Yi Nan Khan was delighted to hear that!

"Li Shimin really said that!?"

"It's absolutely true! Khan!" the envoy confirmed again.

Yi Nan Khan clapped his hands violently, and said with a smile: "Not bad! Not bad! This Li Shimin is sincere enough! If Li Shimin can really let Li Shimin send the princess to Xue Yantuo in person! That Khan's face will be enough! Let's see who pays for it! How dare you disobey me!"

"Khan Shengming!"

"Khan Shengming!"

Envoys, take the opportunity to flatter.

"Pass down the will of this Khan! Call all the chiefs! This Khan has important matters to discuss!" Yinan Khan ordered.

Soon, other tribal chiefs came to Yinan Khan's tooth tent.

"Khan urgently called, I don't know what it is?"

The chiefs were all puzzled.

They usually do not accept Yinan Khan, but because of the title of Yinan Khan, they dare not blatantly oppose him.

Moreover, Yi Nan Khan still has [-] troops in his hands, and they dare not provoke him easily.

However, today, they really don't want to come!
"It's nothing serious, just to arrange some tasks for you." Yi Nan Khan said lightly.

The chiefs looked at each other in confusion.

Task?what task?
They have never heard that there will be any missions!

"Khan! I don't know what the task is? It needs to be distributed among our ministries?"

"Yes! Who is it?"

The chiefs were puzzled.

Yi Nan owns the tribe himself, and the general things are done by his own tribe, so why are there tasks assigned to them? ?

"This is the number of cattle, sheep and horses you need to raise. Before the beginning of spring, you must raise all the money."

Yi Nan Khan handed them the amount that each tribe needed to raise.

"What! Our tribe wants to raise so many cattle, sheep and horses!"

"Yeah! How could our tribe raise so much money?!"

"Khan! What on earth is this going to do? Why do we need to raise so many cattle, sheep and horses!!"

"Are you going to start a war?!"

The chiefs are talking a lot, they don't know what Yinan Khan is going to do!

After all, they didn't know that Yinan Khan asked Datang to marry the princess!

Therefore, I am very confused in my mind!
"Oh, that's right, Tang Wang Li Shimin, he is going to marry the princess to Ben Khan."

"As the leader of Xue Yantuo, Ben Khan naturally can't be too shabby and make Datang look down on me. Therefore, Ben Khan will go to Datang with cattle, sheep and horses to pick up my princess bride!"

Yi Nan Khan was extremely proud while talking!
This surprised the chiefs very much!

"What?! Datang is going to marry the princess to Khan?!"

Yi Nan Khan nodded and said with a confident smile: "Exactly!"

"The price of such a huge amount of cattle, sheep and horses is too high!"

"Yeah! It's not worth it!"

"Even if this Tang princess is made of pure gold, it doesn't need to be so expensive!"

"Besides, it's not uncommon for a Han princess to marry in the grassland. When they marry, they used to bring a dowry! How can there be such a huge dowry in the grassland?!"

The chiefs were particularly unconvinced.

It turned out that the barbarian Khan was going to marry a wife!

You marry your princess!Why pull them up! ?
Moreover, they are required to produce so many cattle, sheep and horses!
Not convinced!I'm so dissatisfied!
Hearing what the chiefs said, Yinan Khan frowned and said, "This is the supreme honor of me, Xue Yantuo! Besides, if we marry the princess of Tang Dynasty, the Han people will respect etiquette! We and Datang are in-laws! We have something to do with Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin, I must help!"

The chiefs looked at Yi Nan Khan speechlessly.

"Khan think twice! Then Li Shimin is the most cunning and unfaithful. He can kill his own brothers. How can he be trustworthy in the face of interests?!"

"Yes! I'm afraid that Li Shimin will have ↓! He took so many betrothal gifts from us for nothing!"

The chiefs disagree with Yi Nan Khan's approach.

However, Yi Nan Khan was already immersed in the joy of marrying the princess of Tang Dynasty and being respected by the tribe, so he couldn't listen to what they said.

"Okay! Isn't it just some cattle, sheep and horses? Is it so difficult? I limit you to raise them before the spring! If anyone is perfunctory, don't blame Ben Khan for his vicious methods!"

Yi Nan Khan's threats made the chiefs dare not refute, but could only acquiesce, thinking about how to raise money!
