    Chapter 22: [Retribution of Pirates]

    "Fang Qing, you're here so early!" Li Shimin walked into Liangyi Hall and saw Fang Xuanling in purple official uniform.

    Fang Xuanling saluted: "Xuanling has met the emperor."

    After saluting, he said: "I have just arrived." His eyes saw a piece of writing in Li Shimin's hand. He was still reading it carefully when he came in just now. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "I wonder which prince or princess it is?"  Did your work satisfy the Emperor?"

    Li Shimin chuckled, handed the paper in his hand to Fang Xuanling, and said, "Xuanling, look at it. I can't guess what this word is written on."

    The writing on his hand was the homework handed over by Li Chengqian. Li Shimin felt a little guilty about what happened last night, so he went to the Li Zheng Palace early this morning. The queen gave him his son's homework. After reading it, he wondered what he was using.  Even if I asked the Queen, I didn¡¯t know what it was written about.  As he walked along, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what kind of trick the son with amnesia used to write this homework.

    Fang Xuanling took it and took a look and said: "This character is similar to the character written by the Zhenguan pen presented by Princess Hepu yesterday. The brush calligraphy uses the light and heavy strokes of the brush to write the shape and rhyme of the character, and the Zhenguan pen is similar to the character  , which uses changes in strokes and lines as a means, has the shadow of calligraphy, but is simpler than calligraphy!"

    He also smelled it with his nose and said doubtfully: "This thing smells like fire. I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a moment!"

    Li Shimin heard this and took it over to smell it.

    It's a pity that one of them is the country's number one figure and the other is the prime minister. They usually care about national affairs and have very little contact with charcoal. It is summer now and they don't need to burn charcoal for heating in winter, so even if they smell it,  It smells like charcoal, but I can't think of charcoal.

    Just when both the monarch and his ministers were confused, a guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Jin wants to see you."

    "Pheasant slave?" Li Shimin was surprised, "If he doesn't go to Hongwen Hall to study, what is he doing here?"

    "Let him come in." Li Shimin ordered.

    Like a young adult, Mr. Li Zhi walked in from the outside with eight-character steps and saluted the two elders: "Zhi has met my father and uncle Fang."

    "If you don't go to Hongwen Hall, why are you here?" Li Shimin asked.

    Li Zhi: "Zhi has an invention, specially dedicated to my father."

    He handed a piece of paper written with charcoal to Li Shimin. Fang Xuanling glanced at it, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is this written by His Highness the King of Jin?"

    "Yes." Li Zhi said shamelessly, "I discovered this by accident when Si'er and I were playing."

    "I wonder what your Highness wrote it in?" Fang Xuanling asked.

    Li Zhi was so happy that he quickly took out two pieces of charcoal from his arms, presented them to him, and said, "When Zhi and Si'er were graffitiing with charcoal on the wall, they discovered that this object can be used for writing, and writing is fast!"

    When Fang Xuanling saw charcoal, he suddenly realized that this simple thing had been ignored!  "If charcoal were made into a pen, it would have the same contribution as the Zhenguan pen presented by Princess Hepu!"

    Li Zhi was stunned for a moment: "Zhenguan pen?" Then he saw a quill pen placed on Li Shimin's desk. Isn't this the one he saw his eldest brother holding for writing a few days ago? Then he thought of Li Shu holding it yesterday  Flowers and birds chirping, golden smoked balls show off, oh got it!

    "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is really interested in making two copies." Fang Xuanling said again.

    Li Zhi was stunned again, making two copies?

    He looked at his father, and then he realized that his expression was a little strange. There was a piece of paper on his desk. The words on it looked familiar. Wasn't it the hard-pen calligraphy he had just brought? But it wasn't right either.  In the hands of the Prime Minister!

    Li Zhi knew that the hard-pen calligraphy he brought was brought from the Queen's Small Hall yesterday.  He tried to write with charcoal last night, but the result was terrible, so when he came to Li Shimin today, he had to take the calligraphy written by Li Chengqian.  Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian added another one later, and they collided with each other today.

    He turned pale when he thought of this.

    Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi for a while, and said in a steady voice: "The pheasant slave invented this thing, which can be used by poor people. My father will reward you with the Hundred Birds Jade Pendant. For your merits in inheriting Qian's teachings, you will be rewarded with a night pearl."

    Li Zhi understood in his heart.

    Li Shimin changed his words, "Although the pheasant slave discovered the charcoal pen, calligraphy cannot be slacked off, so my father ordered you to copy the "Tao Te Ching" twice. In the same way, you go back and tell your seventeenth sister Shu'er to copy it twice too.  "

    What else can Li Zhi say? It¡¯s good that his father didn¡¯t expose the family scandal in front of Fang Xuanling and didn¡¯t scold him until he was bloody.  Still fastRun.

    Fang Xuanling was very surprised when he saw that the emperor rewarded Li Zhi and then punished him. When he thought about the fact that he had rewarded the prince for no reason, he understood a little bit, but he knew that he had to pretend not to understand.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Sir, what are you drawing?" Su Mi asked strangely.

    Li Chengqian did not raise his head and continued to draw circles: "Punctuation!"

    "Punctuation?" Su Mi looked at him drawing circles on the "Thousand-Character Classic" and said with some embarrassment: "If Master finds out that you used the Thousand-Character Classic to doodle, I'm afraid"

    "Is it because the publisher has no conscience and doesn't add punctuation?" Li Chengqian raised his head with a black line, "I don't call it graffiti, it's just a sentence break. You see, although this "Thousand Character Essay" has four characters per line, but in  The first page is easier to recognize. On the second page, the first word is from the previous page. On the third page, there are three words from the previous page. On the fourth page, I don¡¯t know. Could it be that I turn to the fourth page?  Come and read, do you want to go back to the first page and do the math four hundred and eighty-twenty-six times?"

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing you can do about it. You have to read it well and keep it in mind. Then you¡¯ll know how to read it at a glance.¡± Su Mi said.

    After hearing what she said, Li Chengqian looked at her differently. She seemed to have memorized the Thousand-Character Essay by heart!

    "How to read the twentieth sentence?"

    "The bird official and the human emperor first wrote words and wore clothes"

    Li Chengqian took a breath and quickly stopped her, otherwise it would be too shocking.

    "Then when you were reading the Thousand-Character Essay, how much did you read to have such ability?"

    Su Mi's face turned slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed to say it: "When I first entered school, I read it for three months before I finished it and recited it. I read it by heart, and I often recited it later."

    This will create a psychological balance!  Li Chengqian asked: "When you pointed to this page, could you accurately segment the sentence?"

    Su Mi thought for a while and finally shook her head.

    "Then my punctuation will work. Whichever page you turn, you will know how to break the sentence there. I, a beginner, can read as accurately as you, an old student who is familiar with it. Don't you think this is very convenient?  ?¡±

    Su Mi¡¯s eyes lit up and she nodded.

    "Then you still say that I was graffiti?" Li Chengqian snorted, "You just wronged me, do you want to take advantage of the family?"

    "Master, I'm in the wrong body" Su Mi saw Li Chengqian's Tathagata palm and said hurriedly: "Don't"

    Just when Li Chengqian Tathagata was about to exert his divine power, the voice of King Kong Long came from outside: "What is the punctuation mark mentioned by His Highness?"

    Damn it, King Kong Long was eavesdropping outside just now!

    Su Mi saw King Kong Long coming in and quickly stepped aside. She was scared that her man would give her a slap in the face regardless of the occasion. Fortunately, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth at this time and said to King Kong Long: "Master, when the student reads "Thousands of Things"  It was a bit difficult to read the text, so I used punctuation to break up the sentences to make it easier to read and remember."

    King Kong Long walked up to Li Chengqian, picked up the book he had circled, looked at it a few times, and said, "The punctuation looks staggered. How do you use it?"

    "The Thousand Character Classic" uses both commas and periods.

    Li Chengqian pointed at them and explained, and then said: "When students feel that the sentence wants to express feelings, they can use question marks, exclamation marks, and ellipses; in order to distinguish between words, they can use colons and double quotation marks; other semicolons, pauses, etc.  Number, book title number, brackets" he said while writing it down on the paper.

    Judging from the reactions of Su Mi and King Kong Long, Li Chengqian knew that the Tang Dynasty did not have these punctuation marks, and he was afraid that they would make a fuss and ask questions when they saw him using punctuation marks in the future, so he explained it to them at once.  .

    The more Su Mi listened, the more surprised she became. Her eyes looking at Li Chengqian were filled with sparks of admiration and love!

    King Kong Long¡¯s eyes became brighter and brighter. When Li Chengqian finished speaking, he picked up the punctuation marks written by Li Chengqian and looked at them for a long time. Li Chengqian heard his increasingly rapid breathing and knew that he was very excited.  After a while, he slowly calmed down.

    "Some literati are used to leaving half a word blank after writing a sentence; some people are used to being more casual at the end of the sentence. The prince's set of punctuation marks is similar to them, but it is more detailed and clear than them. Yi  Remember it and use it. I will teach them to the students in Hongwen Hall!" King Kong Long said affirmatively about Li Chengqian's punctuation marks.

    This was the first time Li Chengqian heard King Kong Long say such pleasant words, and he smiled on his face.

    King Kong Long continued: "But this is a trick after all. The Thousand-Character Classic and the Four Books and Five Classics require His Highness to study hard and keep it in mind."??¡±

    It sounds like he has great disdain for punctuation marks.

    But even Su Mi knew the Thousand-Character Essay by heart, let alone Kong Longwang, who specialized in education.  If Li Chengqian just says a word at random, he can immediately tell which line or page it is in "Thousand Characters", or which line or page it is in the Four Books and Five Classics, or other ancient works.

    For such a pervert, punctuation marks are superfluous to him, and showing disdain is an understatement.  He also knew that he had the responsibility of educating the royal children, and he could think of sending punctuation marks to Hongwen Hall for teaching, which shows that this old guy has a good ability to accept new things and a good sense of responsibility.

    After school at noon, Li Chengqian happily came out of Chongwen Hall with his wife.

    He has no reason to be unhappy. This Royal Academy is great. You only have half-day classes a day and you have free afternoons. It¡¯s so beautiful!

    What could be more beautiful than this?

    Thinking about my previous life, from elementary school to high school, I had classes all day from Monday to Friday, made up classes on Saturdays, and took extra classes on Sundays. It was like living in hell!

    "Sir, what did you do with the "Lanting Preface"?" Su Mi stared at the "Lanting Preface" in Li Chengqian's chest and asked strangely.

    Li Chengqian said like a thief, "Shh!"
