"All this mess on the decree, but you marked it? You should know that it is a capital offense to alter the decree without permission. ”

Li Er shook his hand, threw the holy decree to the ground, and scolded angrily.

"What's that?"

Wang De was scolded in a daze, and he didn't know what the emperor was talking about?

He quickly picked up the holy decree on the ground and looked at it carefully, and his old face was full of disbelief.

"Zhao Yin's advice and advice are meritorious...... Tomorrow, if you refuse to enter the DPRK, you can not go to the DPRK and deal with it seriously. ”

It's true that not a word has changed, but when you add these things, the meaning is completely different.

"Puff"

After reading the holy decree, Wang De knelt directly on the ground, "Your Majesty, even if the old slave has the courage to do so, he will not dare to tamper with the holy decree!" When the old slave sent it over yesterday, this holy decree was still fine! ”

"This has nothing to do with the princess, these symbols were drawn by the son-in-law."

Seeing that Wang De was sweating in his pants when he was frightened, Zhao Yin spoke.

"You drew all this mess?"

Li Er saw that he had already admitted it, and his anger had disappeared a lot.

First resisted the decree and disrespected, and now added a tampering decree, with these two items, he can squeeze a lot of benefits out of Zhao Yin.

"Your Majesty, according to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, only if the words are changed, can it be regarded as tampering with the holy decree, but none of these words, the son-in-law has not moved, no more, no less, I don't believe you count."

Zhao Yin pointed to the words on the holy decree and continued: "Your Majesty, there are two ways to read this holy decree: one is 'specially ordered to enter the court tomorrow, if you refuse to go to the court, you can deal with it seriously.'" The second is: 'Tomorrow, if you refuse to enter the DPRK, you can not go to the DPRK and deal with it seriously.' ”

"Well, that's right......!"

Li Er carefully looked at the contents of the holy decree, and his brows were deeply locked.

"The reason why the son-in-law does not go to court is to remind His Majesty that this is a big loophole, and we must correct it, otherwise if it is used by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Zhao Yin flickered seriously.

In fact, he just drank too much wine and forgot about the affairs of the court, and then came up with such a method in order to get rid of his crimes.

"Uh-huh......! You're right! ”

Li Er nodded, appreciating Zhao Yin's move.

Fortunately, he found out early, and if he was used by traitors in the future, it was not impossible to use it to mobilize troops to rebel.

"By the way, what's this stuff up there?"

"Oh! This one! This is called punctuation, and it was created by the son-in-law after careful study for a long time. ”

Zhao Yin's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

"Your Majesty, please see, this tadpole-shaped one is called a comma, which means that the sentence has not been finished, and a circle is called a full stop, which means that the sentence has been finished, and in addition to these, there are colons, exclamation marks and the like."

Zhao Yin pointed to the symbols on the holy decree and explained it to Li Er, and Li Er was stunned when he saw it.

"This little symbol has such a big effect."

Li Er stroked his beard thoughtfully, and after a while, he turned his head and said to Wang De beside him: "Go and bring the group of old men in the Guozi Prison to me...... ”

"Yes!"

Wang De didn't dare to slack off, and after receiving the order, he trotted out all the way, and after a while, he led a group of panting old men back.

"Your Majesty has been seen."

The masters bowed respectfully.

"Look at this ......!"

Li Er didn't show them Zhao Yin's holy decree, but copied a copy by hand.

"Zhao Yin's advice and advice are meritorious...... If he refuses to go to the DPRK tomorrow, he can seriously deal with the matter. ”

Meng Fanda, the priest of the country, took it and looked at it, and asked inexplicably: "Your Majesty, what is this ......?" ”

"You read the ...... first!"

Li Er didn't say it directly, but made a detour.

Usually, this old man, relying on himself to read for a few more years, has been showing off in front of him, but this time it is finally his turn to raise his eyebrows.

"Zhao Yin's advice and advice are meritorious...... He was specially ordered to enter the DPRK tomorrow to discuss matters, and if he refused to go to the DPRK, he could be seriously dealt with. ”

According to his own understanding, Meng Fanda recited this holy decree aloud!

"No, this should be, 'Zhao Yin has made meritorious suggestions...... Tomorrow, if you refuse to enter the DPRK, you can not go to the DPRK and deal with it seriously. ”

Li Erduan sat on the chair and reinterpreted it with a proud face.

"What? This......! ”

A group of old men were speechless and looked at each other.

I really didn't expect that the same text would have two meanings.

According to the text, this is obviously a holy decree, but the meaning of the two readings is completely opposite.

In case someone misinterprets the holy will, then it is not a mess?

This was a big deal, they had never thought of it before.

"You guys take it and study it......!"

Li Er picked up the wolf pen, dotted a few symbols in the text, and handed it to Meng Fanda.

"Zhao Yin's advice and advice are meritorious...... He was specially ordered to enter the DPRK tomorrow to discuss matters, and if he refused to go to the DPRK, he could be seriously dealt with. ”

A group of old men gathered around and re-read the punctuated text.

"How? Isn't this more regular, and it won't be reused by people who have a heart? ”

Li Erdu looked intended.

"Tall! What a cleverness! ”

A group of old pedants nodded their heads.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are these things called?"

Meng Fanda asked with interest.

"Well...... this! This is called Zhenguan punctuation! ”

Li Er thought for a while, his face was not red, and his heart did not beat and he added his year name in front of him.

Then he pointed to the symbol on the paper and began to explain to them: "You see, this tadpole-shaped one is called a comma, which means that the sentence has not been finished, and a circle, called a period, which means that the sentence has been finished, and in addition to these, there are colons, exclamation marks, and so on. ”

Li Er is now learning and selling, and the group of old scholars who bluffed were stunned.

"Although this symbol is small, it has such a big effect, it is really a stroke of genius!"

After Li Er's explanation, Meng Fanda and several others admired it even more.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you can teach me these symbols?"

Another old scholar asked respectfully, clasping his hands into fists.

They have all seen the power of punctuation, and if they can learn it, it will be widely used in the future.

"Yes......!"

Li Er pointed to Zhao Yin, who was bewildered beside him, "I still have a lot of state affairs to deal with, so let Zhao Juma teach you!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng Fanda and a group of old scholars all bowed their heads and respectfully thanked the great grace.

"Zhao Yin, this matter will be handed over to you, and if you open the imperial examination in the future, you must not only test the article, but also use punctuation marks properly to pass the test."

"Yes!"

Zhao Yinmu answered!

The reason why he was confused was that he was frightened by Li Er's cheekiness, this punctuation mark was obviously invented by himself, oh no, it was plagiarized, but he took it for himself.

also added his own year name very shamelessly.

But even if he is dissatisfied, he can't refute the emperor's face in public.

However, Li Er also has a handle in his own hands, and he may be able to get some oil and water from it.
