Chapter 22: [Pirate Retribution]

"Fang Qing, it's so early!" Li Shimin walked into Liangyi Hall and saw Fang Xuanling wearing purple official uniform.

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

After saluting, he said, "I have just arrived." He saw Li Shimin holding a letter in his hand. When he came in just now, he was still looking at it seriously. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "I wonder which prince and princess' homework satisfy the emperor?"

Li Shimin smiled and handed the paper in his hand to Fang Xuanling, saying, "Look at Xuanling, I can't guess what this word is written in."

The words on his hand were the homework handed over by Li Chengqian. Li Shimin felt a little guilty about what happened last night this morning, so he went to Lizheng Hall early. The queen handed over his son's homework to him. After reading it, he was surprised to write it with something, and he asked the queen but didn't know. He walked along the way, but he thought for a long time but couldn't think of what tricks the son who had absent from writing this homework.

Fang Xuanling took it and said, "This character is similar to the characters written by the Zhenguan pen presented by Princess Hepu yesterday. The brush characters use light strokes to rewrite the shape and rhyme of the characters. The Zhenguan pen and this character use the changes of the stroke lines as a means, and the shadow of the brush characters is simpler than that of the brush characters!"

He also smelled it with his nose and said in confusion: "There is a scent of fire in this thing. It seems that I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a moment!"

After hearing this, Li Shimin also took it over and smelled it.

It’s a pity that one of them is the number one figure in the country and the other is the Prime Minister. They are concerned about national affairs on weekdays and have very little contact with charcoal. Now it’s summer, unlike in winter when you have to burn charcoal to keep warm, so even if you smell a charcoal smell, you can’t remember charcoal.

Just when the king and his ministers were both confused, a guard walked in and said, "Report to the emperor, the King of Jin is asking for a meeting."

"Zhi Nu?" Li Shimin was surprised, "If he doesn't go to Hongwenguan to study, why are he here to do?"

"Let him come in." Li Shimin ordered.

The chief Li Zhi walked in from outside like a little adult, walking in the eight-character step and bowed to the two elders: "Zhi has met his father and uncle."

"What's wrong with the Ching Nu coming here if he doesn't go to Hongwenguan?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Zhi: "Zhi had an invention, and I will offer it to my father."

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

"Yes." Li Zhi said shamelessly, "This was something I accidentally discovered while playing with Yier."

"I wonder what your highness is writing about?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Zhi was happy and quickly took out two pieces of charcoal from his arms and presented it to him, saying, "When Zhihe Yier used charcoal to graffiti on the wall, he found that this thing could be written and written quickly!"

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

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this: "Zhenguan Pen?" Then he saw a quill on Li Shimin's table. Didn't he see the elder brother holding a writing a few days ago? Then he thought of Li Shu holding a golden ball with a wisp of flowers and birds singing. Oh, I understand!

"Your Highness King Jin can do it in two parts, but he is willing to do it." Fang Xuanling said again.

Li Zhi was stunned again, in duplicate?

He looked at his father and then he realized that his father's face was a bit weird. There was a piece of paper on his desk. The words on it looked familiar. Isn't it the hard pen he just brought with him? It's not right. The one he had in the room hand!

Li Zhi knew that the hard pen calligraphy he brought was from the Queen's Hall yesterday. Last night, he tried to write with charcoal, but it was a terrible one. So when he came to Li Shimin's place today, he had to take the words written by Li Chengqian. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian later added another one and collided together today.

His face 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 for poor people. My father would like to give you a jade pendant of a hundred birds. Cheng Qian's teachings made contributions and reward a night pearl."

Li Zhi understood in his heart.

Li Shimin changed his words, "Although Zhinu found a charcoal pen, his calligraphy cannot be relaxed, so his father told you to copy the "Tao Te Ching" twice. Also, when you go back, tell your seventeenth sister Shu'er, you will copy it twice."

Li Zhi has nothing to say. My father didn't make any public criticism in front of Fang Xuanling for the sake of family shame, so he didn't scold him. It would be nice to run away quickly.

Fang Xuanling saw that the emperor rewarded Li Zhi and punished him again. He was very surprised. When he thought of him inexplicably rewarding the prince, he understood a little, but he knew that he wanted to pretend that he didn't understand.

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

Li Chengqian did not look up and continued to bury his head and draw circles: "Punctuation!"

"Punctuation?" Su Mi looked at him drawing circles on "Thousand Characters" and said with some embarrassment: "If the Master knows, you will use Thousand Characters to graffiti, I'm afraid..."

"Is it because the publisher is too unconscience and not punctuating?" Li Chengqian raised his head with a black line, "I'm not called graffiti, I'm just breaking the sentence. Look at the "Thousand Character Text" with four characters in one line, it's better to recognize it on the first page. When it comes to the second page, the first word is from the previous page, and when it comes to the third page, there are three words from the previous page. I don't know it when it comes to the fourth page. Do you have to turn to the fourth page to read it and go back to the first page and calculate it in the fourth page?"

"There is no way to read this. You have to read it carefully and remember it in your heart. Naturally, you will know how to read it at first sight." Su Mi said.

After hearing what she said, Li Chengqian looked at her a little differently. Her meaning seemed to be that she memorized the Thousand Characters and remembered them in her heart!

"How to pronounce the 20th sentence?"

"Bird Official Human Emperor, he started to write words, and he dressed in clothes..."

Li Chengqian took a breath and quickly stopped her, otherwise it would have been a big blow to others.

"Then how much did you read the Thousand Characters articles before you had such skills?"

Su Mi's face turned slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed to speak: "When I first entered school, I read it for three months before I finished reading it and memorizing it all. I read it carefully in my heart, and I often read it later."

This way, my mental balance will be balanced! Li Chengqian asked: "Will you make a clear sentence accurately by pointing to this page?"

Su Mi thought about it and finally shook her head.

"Then my punctuation will work. You will know how to break the sentences when you turn to. I, a beginner, can read it accurately like you, an old student who is familiar with me. Isn't this very convenient?"

Su Mi's eyes lit up and she nodded.

"Then do you still say I'm graffiti?" Li Chengqian snorted, "I just wronged me. Do you want to eat family rules?"

"Master, I was wrong..." Su Mi saw Li Chengqian's Tathagata palm and hurriedly said, "Don't..."

Just when Li Chengqian's Tathagata's magic palm was about to show his divine power, the voice of King Kong Long came from outside: "What is the punctuation that Your Highness said?"

Damn, this Kong Dragon King was eavesdropping outside just now!

When Su Mi saw King Kong Long came in, she quickly flashed aside. She was terrified that her man would give her any occasion. Fortunately, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth at this time and said to King Kong Long: "Teacher, it's a bit difficult for students to read "Thousand Characters Text", so they use punctuation to make it easier to read and remember."

King Kong Long walked up to Li Chengqian, picked up the book he drew in circles, read it a few times, and said, "What is the use of this punctuation point?"

"Thousand Characters" uses commas and periods.

Li Chengqian pointed at them and explained it, and then said: "When students think that when they want to express their feelings, they can use question marks, exclamation marks, and ellipsis; to distinguish between speaking, they can use colons and double quotes; other semicolons, clogs, book names, and brackets with various functions..." He wrote down on paper while saying that.

Judging from the reactions of Su Mi and Kong Longwang, Li Chengqian knew that the Tang Dynasty did not have these punctuation marks, and was afraid that when they saw themselves using punctuation marks in the future, they made a fuss and asked questions again, so he explained them clearly at once.

Su Mi listened to her more and more surprised. Her eyes looked at Li Chengqian full of 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 sound and knew that he was very excited. After a while, he slowly calmed down.

"Some literati are used to emptying out half of the empty paper after writing a sentence; some are used to being casual in the last sentence. The prince's set of punctuation marks are similar to theirs, but they are more detailed than them, and are easier to remember. I will teach them to the students of Hongwenguan!" King Kong Long said affirmatively to Li Chengqian's punctuation marks.

This was the first time that Li Chengqian heard King Kong Long say such a pleasant thing, and a smile on his face.

King Kong Long continued: "But this is a trick after all. The Thousand-word text and the Four Books and Five Classics require His Highness to read them carefully and remember them in his heart. The way is to do it."

Judging from his tone, he seemed to be very disdainful of the punctuation marks.

However, even Su Mi read the Thousand Words text so well that he memorized it like a stream, let alone Kong Longwang, who specializes in education. I am afraid that Li Chengqian would say a word casually and he would immediately say which line the word in "Thousand Words", which line and which page in the Four Books and Five Classics, or other ancient works.

Such a pervert, punctuation marks are redundant to him, and it is considered light to express his disdain. He also knew that he was responsible for educating the royal children and could think of sending punctuation marks to Hongwenguan for teaching. It can be seen 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 had no reason to be unhappy. This Royal Academy is just good. He only had half a day of classes in one day, and the afternoon was free, so beautiful!

What else is more beautiful than this?

Think about my previous life, from elementary school to high school, from Monday to Friday to classes all day, Saturday and Sunday tutoring, it’s like living in hell!

"Master, what did you do to take "Lanting Xu"?" Su Mi stared at the "Lanting Xu" in Li Chengqian's chest and asked strangely.

Li Chengqian was like a thief, "Shh!"
