At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Peng has been busy with outside affairs all the time, now that he is busy, he came here when he had some free time.

Brings punctuation marks across the ages.

Seeing Cai Yong frowning and thinking hard, he decided to help Cai Yong.

"Cai Gong, the reason why there are so many family laws in the Five Classics is mainly because of different sentence punctuations and different understandings. The various different characters are not the main contradiction. As long as the contradiction lies in a sentence, if you read it with different sentence punctuation methods, you can have a completely different sentence. different meaning.

You say that such a sentence is correct, and I say that such a sentence is correct, but no one knows who is right, so there are different opinions from different schools, so that it has reached the point today, so I think, we must first To be sure, it is a sentence. "

Guo Peng put forward his own views.

Chapter 1156 One thousand 160 six Guo Zifeng can't do it, the emperor can do it

Cai Yong believed in Guo Peng's understanding of the theory of the Five Classics.

Guo Peng began to study the Five Classics and Family Law in Luoyang at the age of 12. He was not familiar with it, at least he was familiar with it. Therefore, Cai Yong did not think that Guo Peng was just a layman explaining blindly.

He felt that what Guo Peng said was right, but the key was how to make a sentence.

"Some sentence breaks are recognized by the world, and all families agree with them. There is nothing to refute. The key is that those who don't know how to break the sentence at the end of the debate can't bring the saint back to life. Come and explain it to us on the spot? "

Cai Yong smiled wryly.

Guo Peng shook his head and said with a smile: "In this case, let's first list the places that are recognized by each family's law and feel that there is no problem, first break the sentence, and then concentrate on thinking about how to give those controversial chapters and sentences. Cut it off."

"Well, that's what I said. I've arranged for someone to do it. Don't worry, Zifeng."

"Cai Gong, in recent days, I have been thinking that the study of sentence reading is something we must learn since we entered school. This requires repeated practice, repeated reading, and long-term investment before we can truly master the study of sentence reading.

It took me more than two years to master the study of sentence reading, and my father personally taught me the scriptures. For most students, this is not only difficult, but also time-consuming, and has a lot of controversy, which is not conducive to students' better learning. Master the science of saints. "

Guo Peng began to induce Cai Yong.

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, then blinked and looked at Guo Peng.

"What Zifeng said is certainly reasonable, but the study of sentence reading is something that scholars in my life must master after entering school. Otherwise, how can we break sentences?"

"Isn't it good to just break up the sentence and present it clearly in front of the scholars, so that they can know where the sentence is at a glance?"

"what?"

Cai Yong was dumbfounded.

Guo Peng took out the article "Two Children Debating the Day" in the article "Liezi·Tang Wen" written by himself.

The article is short.

It tells the story that Confucius could not answer the two children's question about whether the sun is closer to people in the morning or at noon. At the end of the story, Confucius could not answer the questions raised by the two children.

When Guo Peng wrote this article, he added punctuation marks, so when Cai Yong read it, he was very surprised.

"Zifeng, what are these strange black dots? This curved... what is it?"

"Cai Gong, don't you think that after adding these black dots, you don't need to read the sentence at all to read the article, and you will know how to read and understand it at a glance?"

"This... is indeed the truth, Zifeng, is this the method you came up with?"

"Yes, I came up with this idea in the process of reading and teaching children to read, put it into practice, improved it, and came up with this set of punctuation instead of sentence reading."

"Punctuation, it's interesting."

The more Cai Yong read it, the more interesting he felt, so he pointed to the [,] on the article and asked, "What is this?"

"This, I call it a comma, which means that it is used to divide a long sentence into short sentences. Also, this [?] is a question mark, and after the interrogative sentence, it is used to express doubts..."

Guo Peng slowly explained to Cai Yong the names and meanings of the punctuation marks he had learned and mastered. The more Cai Yong listened to it, the more amazing and interesting he found it.

"I have never heard of such a method, but I think it is really useful. You can feel its usage in various sentence patterns. As long as you understand its usage, and then read the article, it is clear and clear at a glance. You don't need to bother to read sentences. Study the article."

Cai Yong had a slightly excited smile on his face: "Zifeng, this is a good thing, it's a good thing! Come on, let's mark an article first, and then study it!"

"it is good."

Guo Peng accompanied Cai Yong, using punctuation marks to mark out an uncontroversial article in "Shang Shu", and then told Cai Yong how to use this punctuation and that punctuation.

Under the guidance of Guo Peng, Cai Yong marked an article completely, and then he really felt very relaxed and clear at a glance.

"Sure enough, it is very convenient to use and very easy to understand. Once you learn it, there is nothing jerky in using it. Even if some places are used incorrectly, as long as you use punctuation, you can separate sentences."

Cai Yong was very happy to read this article, and he couldn't put it down.

"As long as Mr. Cai thinks it's good. To tell the truth, Mr. Cai, when I taught the children of Ah Jin to read, I marked punctuation marks for them myself. It is really convenient to use. Now they have fully mastered the rules of using punctuation marks." way, and will write their own articles and label them.”

Guo Peng talked about these things with a smile.

Cai Yong nodded repeatedly, then nodded, and the whole person calmed down.

Cai Yong seemed to have thought of something, so he put down the article in his hand and looked at Guo Peng seriously.

"Zifeng, as you said, scholars nowadays are only thinking about being an official, and they are all about money. No one thinks about doing anything for the saints. They master the family law, just to make their own people learn better." More, to be a higher official, you need to get more students.

I heard that in the past few days, those five families have been booming, and they are recruiting students everywhere. I'm afraid it will be too late, and there will be fewer students in your own family than in other families, and you won't see any new things at all. At this time, you put this If the punctuation marks are taken out, I am afraid they will not be very happy. "

Cai Yong pursed his lips, his face was full of dissatisfaction and disdain for the few families that had grown up and expanded their power.

There is no sage image at all, and they are a group of greedy people. Let this kind of people master enlightenment, how can people in the world be bathed in the light of sages!

Cai Yong was very angry and very dissatisfied, but he also felt that he was actually quite powerless in this matter, and he didn't know what to do so that the saint's teachings could be given to the world again.

He didn't know how to help Guo Peng promote the marking of punctuation marks.

Guo Peng smiled slightly.

"There are still people like Cai Gong in the world, which proves that the sage's education has not completely failed. The sage's education still remains in people's hearts. To be able to discuss such things with people like Cai Gong, as far as I am concerned, it is already It was great luck."

Cai Yong was a little moved immediately.

So he took Guo Peng's hand.

"Zifeng, you can not forget the teachings of the sages, not forget your original intention of studying, all the way to today, this is the most gratifying thing for me."

Guo Peng pursed his lips and smiled.

"What Cai Gong said, I have always kept it in my heart, and I have never forgotten it, so no matter when, I will not forget my original intention, whether it is this time or the next time, Cai Gong, this time, no matter how difficult things are, no matter how hard it is. No matter how many obstacles there are, I will push forward.”

"Then what should we do? These greedy people will not agree to this matter so easily, even if they know that doing so must be beneficial, they will not agree easily."

"That's true, but it's not completely impossible."

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes: "There are some things that Guo Zifeng can't do, but the emperor can. Anyway, I'm also an emperor."

Chapter 1157. One thousand 160 seven Our two families have been as close as one family since then, how do you think?

What Guo Peng said was not wrong at all. There are some things that Guo Zifeng can't do, but the emperor can.

He is the emperor, with the imperial power in his hands, there is always something that makes the courtiers afraid.

He decided to start with the weakest link of the scholars.

The target of attack is of course Yuan Si.

Yuan Si was terrified of him.

Because there is only the last branch of his family, and all of them live in Luoyang. There are no other branches. It depends on Guo Peng to survive. Guo Peng completely controls the life and death of his family.

Therefore, this family is not difficult to deal with. It is a family of tool people introduced by someone Guo to handle things.

After using Yuan Shao, using Yuan Shu, and using Yuan Shu, it will be Yuan Si's turn.

Anyway, the Yuan family is very valuable to Guo. Although most of them have been used up, there is still remaining value that can be squeezed out. If we can't squeeze it out, I'm really sorry for Guo Peng's tolerance for letting Yuan Si live until now. .

So Guo Peng decided to choose Yuan Si's happiest time, that is, now, to attack him.

He summoned Yuan Si.

During this period of time, Yuan Si was really proud of himself, he was very happy and very comfortable.

Faced with people's admiration for him, their investment in him, and their following.

Seeing that Yuan's is recovering bit by bit the prestige of former disciples and old officials all over the world, seeing that Yuan's lost family business is being restored bit by bit by him, he is quite excited.

These families who have dismissed him in the past, have been watching his jokes in the past, and faced his family with a condescending attitude. One by one, they ran in front of him with shy faces, nodded and bowed to him in a servile manner, what do you think? How do you feel cheap.

He obviously hated this group of people the most, but when things came to an end and they had the cheek to beg to come over, Yuan Si still couldn't help feeling happy.

Some of these families are quite powerful and well-connected, or they are officials in the local or central government, and they are also good at exchanging interests.

Some of the stronger ones directly made a request for marriage, begging to marry Yuan's daughter, or begging to marry their own daughter to Yuan's son.

Yuan Si really hasn't felt this kind of feeling for a long time, so he needs to feel it for a while, and this kind of thing is not so easy to decide, he also needs to discuss it with his family.

Let's see which family to choose is the most promising, the most beneficial, and the most helpful to the Yuan family.

This won't work, and that won't work either. This one doesn't look good, and that doesn't look good either.

It was dizzying to pick and choose, but there were still a steady stream of excellent resources sent over for Yuan Si to choose from.

No way, who calls this a monopoly market?

Monopolizing the market means you can do whatever you want!

While Yuan Si was dazzled, Guo Peng's summons order came.

Yuan Si immediately changed into standard attire and went to the palace to meet the emperor who must not be offended, at least for now.

The place where the emperor summoned him was still the old place, the side hall study of Fengtian Hall, where the emperor's daily office was located, where the emperor would meet with ministers from all walks of life at any time to discuss state affairs.

When Yuan Si arrived, a group of military officials had just come out, and they were still discussing with each other about the supplies of Mozhou. It seemed that the emperor was still advancing the construction task of Mozhou.

I don't know if Xia Houdun, the governor of Mozhou, who is not much better than the polished commander, has a good way to develop Mozhou.

With an inexplicable sense of superiority, Yuan Si entered the study of the side hall, and met Guo Peng under the guidance of the great eunuch Su Yuan.

When Yuan Si saw Guo Peng, Guo Peng was writing something furiously.

To be honest, after the Huanglongdian meeting, Guo Peng's entire living environment has changed.

At least as far as Yuan Si is concerned, after the Huanglongdian meeting, Guo Peng removed the original cushions and desks and replaced them with desks and chairs carefully made by the carpenters of the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, there are also other chairs here, and beside the chairs are tall desks with tea and pastries, which look neatly arranged as a whole, which is quite comfortable.

"Your Majesty Yuan Si, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Oh, Yuan Qing is here?"

Guo Peng raised his eyes to look at Yuan Si and smiled, but he didn't stop writing.

"Yuan Qing, please sit down, Su Yuan, serve tea."

"Yes!"

Su Yuan immediately went to make arrangements, and Yuan Si also sat down according to Guo Peng's instructions.

Needless to say, sitting on it is a little more comfortable than kneeling on the soft cushion, at least the pressure on the legs is not so strong, although after so many years, Yuan Si has long been used to it.

Su Yuan smiled and offered a cup of clear tea. This expensive tea can only be enjoyed unscrupulously at the emperor's place. He really doesn't have much tea at his side.

After taking a sip of tea, Guo Peng finally put down his pen and took a sip of tea from his tea bowl.

"Phew... the daily affairs are so overwhelming that I can't breathe. Compared with it now, it's a little easier when I lead troops to fight."

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world and the ruler of the world. It is only natural that we have many affairs. The reason why we are officials is to share your majesty's worries."

Yuan Si's beautiful words are still very beautiful.

"Hahahaha, you're right, my servant, you are here to share my worries. Even so, there are still too many things to do, and I am too busy... By the way, Yuan Qing, recently I heard that your family is full of people. Do you know how many people came to your house to ask to see you?"

Yuan Si pondered that the emperor's words did not sound like an onmyoji's tone, so he nodded cautiously in admission.

"Yes, the family law of the minister's family has been favored by His Majesty, and it has been hand-picked as one of the orthodox five classics, and it has become the law of saints. Of course, scholars who pursue fame and fortune are moved by the wind, not only the minister's family, but also the other four families. The family is like a market, which is very impressive. .”

Guo Peng smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, what I've heard the most these days is that your so-and-so family took over whoever's job, and let them convert to learn the sage law. Willing to follow."

If you want to talk about shameless kung fu, I, Yuan Si, would like to call you the strongest.
