Afternoons are often the hottest time of the day, not to mention the scorching summer days.

The blazing sun is on the head, dutifully shining and heating, allowing ultraviolet rays and temperature to cover the earth, which can be called a model of labor.

But sometimes it is too conscientious, but it is not beautiful, such as at this moment, because the sun is too conscientious, even if it is the gazebo in Guo's imperial garden, it may not be cool somewhere.

In stark contrast to the sun's diligence, today's wind is lazy to ask for leave, refuses to work, and doesn't know whether it is diarrhea or hemorrhoids.

Therefore, the surrounding air seems to be frozen, heated by the sun's rays indistinctly, and the bodies of the people in it are hot, and even the hearts of the people in it are hot.

Every year at this time, Guo will miss something called an air conditioner.

I remembered the distant memories of a summer afternoon when he huddled in an air-conditioned room with a watermelon.

But that was a long memory, so long ago that he couldn't even remember whether he ate the watermelon with an iron spoon or a wooden spoon.

However, he has never forgotten the kind of cold and silky taste that makes people feel cowardly from the bottom of his heart.

Yes, as it is now.

A breeze that came in from nowhere suddenly blew over, blowing from one end to the other, blowing the air that was about to freeze, and an inexplicable feeling of comfort permeated Guo someone's heart.

Very coincidentally, Xun You stood up at the right time and saluted respectfully towards Guo Peng.

"Your Majesty's meaning, the minister has already understood, the minister, obey the order, everything, obey Your Majesty's orders."

Guo Peng looked at Xun You, and then nodded.

"I will soon ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to contact your family, but my eldest daughter is only twelve years old, and she can't get married yet, so she will get engaged first, and then get married after three years."

"Obey."

Xun Yu goodbye.

"Go ahead, make it clear to your family, I believe that you can convince all the Xun clansmen."

Guo Peng waved his hand, but did not say the latter sentence [must also be persuaded].

"The minister retired."

With that, Xun Yu took three steps back towards Guo Peng, turned around and left the pavilion and left the imperial garden.

There was something resolute about that back.

Just like Guo Peng's indestructible will like steel.

Guo Peng didn't know what Xun You was thinking in that short period of time just now, but he knew that Xun You would not disobey him.

It's simple, don't dare.

Xun You's life runs through the word "don't dare".

Back then, he didn't dare to fight for Xun Yu, and now, he won't fight for punctuation.

He understands the general trend and understands the overall situation.

The current Guo will only be stronger than the Guo back then, so Xun You will not disobey him.

As long as Guo does not die, Xun You will be able to stand on the present and see the end of his life at a glance.

What else is there to talk about?

The second one is solved, it's time for the third.

The third target is the Kong family, the first generation of the Kong family, the lucky Kong Xian.

"Minister Kong Xian, meet Your Majesty."

When Kong Xian met Guo Peng, he was also in the pavilion where Guo Peng met Xun You.

"Get up, sit."

Guo Peng stretched out his hand and pointed to the position where Xun You had done, Kong Xian stood up and sat down respectfully on the stone bench.

"How is Yan Shenggong doing recently? I heard that Yan Shenggong has been quite busy recently, and I'm afraid that the people I met here can line up from Qingzhou to Luoyang, right? ”

Hearing the teasing tone in the emperor's words, Kong Xian smiled.

"Everything is Your Majesty's love, and it is Your Majesty's love that has made the Kong family what it is today, otherwise, the Kong family is also in danger and the inheritance is in danger."

Guo Peng shook his head.

Confucius founded the most influential private school, and vigorously promoted the change of the pattern of learning in the government, so that scholars could also read and study, not just nobles could read and study, thus changing the pre-Qin scholarship.

Such fearless courage and practical spirit is very admired and respected by Confucius, compared with the scriptures he left behind, Gu appreciates the courage of Confucius even more, probably it is with such courage that Confucius can carry forward Confucianism and be admired by future generations such as me! ”

Guo Peng sighed again and again and praised Confucius, which made Kong Xian very happy.

"The ancestors can be so admired by His Majesty, and the descendants can be so blessed by His Majesty, Kong is deeply impressed, and generations dare not forget, now, the ancestral house of Kong has built a shrine for His Majesty, and the people of the Kong clan are willing to pray for His Majesty all the time, and may my Wei be prosperous and prosperous, and live forever."

Kong Xian praised Guo Peng greatly.

"How can Lonely He De let the descendants of the Kong family live in an isolated ancestral hall."

Guo Peng sighed and said, "Only those who can do similar things with Confucius and make similar achievements to Confucius are qualified to let the descendants of Confucius establish an ancestral hall." ”

"How could Your Majesty not be qualified?"

Kong Xian disagreed: "Your Majesty's martial arts, far past the emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties, this is a matter recognized by the world, why does Your Majesty take it lightly?" This kind of thing, the ministers absolutely do not agree! ”

"Lone's martial arts are what emperors should do, but what Confucius did was something that successive emperors failed to do."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Kong Qing, what Confucius did was to change the general trend of the world, why should he follow Confucius as the Holy Teacher?" It is because Confucius vigorously promoted private learning.

Before the emergence of private learning, only the children of the nobility could read and study, and after the emergence of private learning, scholars could read and study.

However, Confucius withstood the pressure with those sages of the same era, continued private learning, and broke the aristocratic monopoly on academics, which led to the emergence of a hundred schools of thought, which is the reason why Gu admired Confucius. ”

Kong Xian frowned, feeling that Guo Peng had something to say.

"The courage of our ancestors is also admired by our descendants, but in today's world, if you want to talk about saints, only Your Majesty can bear it."

Guo Peng glanced at Kong Xian with interest.

"Saints? Hahahaha! Kong Qing, can you be a saint? Hahahaha! Forget it, this saint, let's let Confucius do it, where did Lone become a saint? Lone has killed countless people, punished countless times, and doesn't know how to be scolded after death, this kind of thing is predictable. ”

"If there is that kind of bold person, the ministers and other Kong clan people will be the first to refuse!"

Kong Xian immediately proved his loyalty to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng stared at Kong Xian for a while and laughed.

"Hahaha! Yes, yes! can have a loyal minister like Kong Qing, Lone is not so worried about his posthumous name, in this case, the name of this saint, Lone also has to try, Kong Qing, are you willing to help Lone? ”

"Your Majesty, but there is an order, and there is no one in the Kong clan who is not allowed! Kong is willing to do anything for His Majesty! ”

Kong Xian's beautiful words were probably right, but he couldn't stop his mouth, Guo Peng was overjoyed, and immediately clapped his hands.

"Good! With Kong Qing's words, I will also try the name of this saint! Su Yuan, bring the things! ”

The great eunuch Su Yuan immediately stepped forward and handed a piece of paper to Guo Peng, who in turn handed the paper to Kong Xian.

"Kong Qing, take a look first."

"Yes."

Kong Xian took the piece of paper, only to see some words written on the paper.

[The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long. Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water. 】

Kong Xian frowned first, looked up at the emperor, and then looked down at the words in these verses, and suddenly trembled, his pupils shrank, and he looked at the emperor in disbelief.

"Why, isn't it right to break the sentence made by Lone for the Book of Songs?"

"No...... It's not wrong, it's ...... Your Majesty, this is ......"

"Did you say the punctuation used in this sentence?"

Guo Peng said with a smile: "This is the perception of lonely reading for more than 30 years, lonely deep feeling that sentence reading is difficult, learning sentence reading always takes a lot of time and experience, teachers and students pass on word of mouth, do not resort to the pen, once a person dies, it is not known, what a pity?"

So Lone thought of this method, using punctuation to show the sentence reading, whenever the sentence should be broken, use punctuation to disconnect, easy to read, and there is no need to waste time learning to read sentences, and the teacher spends a lot of energy to teach, isn't this just in line with Confucius's concept of educating the world? ”
