Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Seeing the back of Li Ke fighting with Jin Yang, Li Shimin suddenly felt that he had never known this son before.

Chang Lin silently looked at Li Ke and then at Li Shimin. He knew that His Highness the King of Shu had once again hit His Majesty's weakness, but what His Highness the King of Shu said, Chang Lin felt the same way, because Chang Lin was born as an ordinary citizen. Family, he couldn't be more moved by Li Ke's words.

And Changle and the other princesses also had some feelings. They had all read books, but they had never thought of Li Ke, but just eight words touched them a lot. It was an indescribable feeling. s things.

There was light shining in Changle's eyes.

After playing around with Jinyang for a while, seeing that the chef and guards over there had already set up two ovens, Li Ke walked over directly. He has done things like grilling skewers many times, so naturally he had to do it himself. Baked it, come out to play, do not do it yourself, no soul.

The other oven was naturally handed over to the chefs. These chefs were all trained by Li Ke himself, so they are naturally very skilled.

Seeing Li Ke's actions, Li Shimin originally wanted to stop, the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, but ended up in the kitchen, what's wrong with that? !

Holding a large handful of dressed mutton skewers and putting them on the oven in front of him, seeing the sizzling sound of the grilled mutton skewers, Li Ke was a little dazed, as if he hadn't crossed over yet, but raised his head At that time, everything around him reminded him that it was 635 A.D., the ninth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.

Skillfully grabbed a handful of chili noodles and sprinkled them on the mutton skewers, smelling the familiar smell, Li Ke couldn't help explaining loudly: "You roast some of them without chili, Jinyang and the others are too young to eat chili."

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Ke, the chef over there, agreed.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin also came over. Looking at Li Ke's familiar face, Li Shimin knew that this kid had a lot of fun, really... Obviously this kid is actually quite talented, at least he wrote the poem just now. .

But the whole day's mind is spent on eating, drinking and having fun.

"Oh, dad, are you going to teach me that gentlemen stay away from the kitchen?" Li Ke saw that Li Shimin's eyes were wrong, so he spoke in advance.

"What does this have to do with the gentleman staying away from the kitchen?" Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Ke and asked.

"Eh?" Li Ke was a little confused, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, isn't that just keeping me away from the kitchen?"

Li Shimin: "..."

"Pfft..." Changle and Yuzhang were sitting not far away. They couldn't hold back when they heard Li Ke's words, and they laughed directly. They were so happy.

"No?" Li Ke looked at Chang Lin in confusion.

Li Shimin's face turned dark, I just praised you for your good knowledge.

The corners of Chang Lin's mouth twitched, and then he explained: "Your Highness, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen. The original text means that King Xuan of Qi couldn't bear to see the people killing cattle for sacrifice, so he ordered the people to let the cattle go. The sheep should be killed." When Mencius exhorted Qi Xuanwang to practice the art of benevolence, he said this sentence. The meaning of the context is that a gentleman can't bear to see these birds and beasts die, so he stays away from the kitchen."

Li Ke: "..."

It is all to blame that many people in later generations always take it out of context.

"Well, of course I know this. I am warning you, Father." Without further ado, Li Ke began to quibble, what a joke, my Highness, the King of Shu, cannot make mistakes. If I am wrong, then it must be It was the world that caused me to be wrong, that is, the world was wrong.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes: "Go on, if you can't tell me why, don't eat this meat today, and you will be punished for a day of starvation."

Cut, that's it?Li Ke curled his lips, I'm afraid of this guy from the 21st century?

Changle and the others also focused their attention, and they were also very curious about how their third brother could tell the difference.

"Father, what do you think is the reason for my mistake just now?" Li Ke asked.

"Nonsense, except that you don't study hard and are half-hearted, what else can it be?" Li Shimin's face turned dark, and you have the nerve to ask me.

"Father, what do you think is Qin Shihuang's greatest contribution to China?" Li Ke asked another irrelevant question.

"Of course it is to unify the six kingdoms, make China a unified dynasty again, end the chaos of the princes, and give the people of the world a rest." Li Shimin said.

"It makes sense, but I think the greater achievement is that the books are the same, the cars are on the same track, the degree is the same, the behavior is the same, and the land is the same area. This laid a solid foundation for later generations to establish a unified dynasty. This is also the case of many Chinese. The reason why the surrounding nomads entered China, but were continuously assimilated." Li Ke said.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "There is some truth in what you said, but what does it have to do with you?"

"The relationship is very important. From ancient times to the present, because of the underdeveloped papermaking technology in ancient times, people wrote books on bamboo slips. Therefore, in order to save space to the greatest extent, although people have invented punctuation marks, they have not. No! No punctuation most of the time!"

Punctuation marks have existed for a long time, but they are basically not used because everyone has formed a habit.

"In this case, there will be a very serious consequence, that is, reading out of context! So why reading is difficult now and teachers are needed, it is because many articles do not have punctuation marks, and ordinary people can't understand what it means without a teacher! So popularize punctuation Symbols are very important!"

"I think Dad, you should treat this matter as a government order of the Tang Dynasty, and require all people to use punctuation marks to break sentences in the process of writing articles. This will reduce the difficulty of reading for future generations. The point is to prevent people from reading I took it out of context and misunderstood the meaning of the original author!" Li Ke said seriously.

Li Shimin: "..."

Just as he was about to say something, Li Ke spoke before him again: "Father, don't believe me, the simplest sentence, the Master said: People can be made to follow, but not to be made to know. Confucius' original words have no punctuation, so How many ways of sentence punctuation will later generations have when they read it?"

"What I just read is one, and there is another: people can, let them know it. If they can't, let them know it."

"The third type, the people can make it, let it go. If you can't make it, know it."

"The fourth type, the people can make them, but they can't do it; make them know."

"Fifth, can the people make it known? No, it can be made known."

"Father, tell yourself, there are five ways of punctuating a sentence of Confucius, and the meanings of the five punctuating ways are completely different, and many of them are even completely opposite. What do you think will happen if it appears in the important history books of the Tang Dynasty?!"

Li Shimin, Chang Lin, Chang Le and other princesses are all stupid, isn't it just a gentleman who cooks far away?As for? !The problem is Li Ke's words... but it made Li Shimin realize the seriousness of the matter. In other words, as a family heir, there are always teachers who teach him. They don't understand the seriousness of the problem, or they don't understand it. .

But as a ruler, Li Shimin instantly understood the benefits of using punctuation marks!If all books have punctuation marks, it means that literacy can be taught by oneself, instead of a teacher as it is now.

He raised his head and looked at Li Ke, his expression became extremely strange, so?Sophistry can quibble that it is a national policy that is beneficial to the country? !

"Father, come on, try it." Li Ke casually handed over a few strings of mutton skewers in his hand.

Li Shimin took it subconsciously.
