"I don't know what to say about the way you break sentences?" Li Shimin asked Kong Huiyuan puzzled.

The sage left books for posterity to study, but there was no clear way to break between sentences. As a result, later generations often distorted the meaning of the writings of the saints when they studied them. ”

"And the method of sentence breaking created by the students is to use different symbols to reasonably disconnect sentences from sentence to sentence...... and then Kong Huiyuan explained the method of sentence breaking to Li Shimin in detail in the Taiji Hall.

After listening to Kong Huiyuan's explanation, Li Shimin actually stood up directly from the dragon chair. and got off the grade stage and came to Kong Huiyuan.

With an appreciative face, he said to Kong Huiyuan: "The method of breaking sentences you created today is no less than the credit of those saints. ”

"I am afraid that in a few years, your achievements will be no less than that of the ancestor Confucius. It is really a blessing for me to be able to get such a talent, and it is a blessing for the people of the world. ”

How could everyone in the Taiji Hall not understand how crucial Kong Huiyuan's method of breaking sentences was. If this method of breaking sentences is really implemented in the world, I am afraid that reading will no longer be difficult.

But this is something that some people don't want to see, because it will shake the foundation of the family. Therefore, the representatives of the Guan Long family in the court naturally did not want to see this happen.

Even if the land in the hands of the family is recovered, the family will have the opportunity to regain it. Because it is not the land that allows the families to pass on, but the books in their hands.

With these books, they can continue to cultivate a steady stream of talents for governing the world. As long as there are these talents in governing the world, the inheritance of the family will not be shaken.

And the eldest grandson Wuji, who is the head of the Guanlong family, naturally cannot be indifferent. So he went out of class and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this method of breaking sentences created by Kong Huiyuan is indeed beneficial to the country and the people. ”

"Anyway, it's just a piece of paper, like the books are now in the books. If you want to add this broken sentence symbol to the book, I am afraid that even if it is a hundred years, it may not be able to complete. ”

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, the representatives of the Guan Long family nodded yes one after another. Even Li Shimin's face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

Because the eldest grandson Wuji said it well, he wanted to add this sentence break symbol to the book. It's not an easy task.

Not to mention how much time it will take, just asking the family to hand over the books is probably not what Li Shimin can do at present.

Seeing Li Shimin's melancholy expression, Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Eldest Sun said is right. Trying to add sentence break symbols to the original book is tantamount to empty talk. ”

But the emperor was able to add sentence breaks to the new book. In this way, wouldn't the books published in the world have this broken sentence symbol? ”

"Ignorant child, do you know how long it takes to transcribe a book. I'm afraid it will take more time than adding to the original book, right? The eldest grandson Wuji said with a disdainful face.

"Lord Eldest Sun, I wonder if you know how many words there are in the Analects?" Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

Although this Analect was written by the sage Confucius, you are also a descendant of Confucius. But the number of words in this book of Analects is not only known to you, the Confucian family. ”

The Analects consists of 20 chapters and 492 chapters, with a total word count of 15,900 words. I wonder if what the official said is right? The eldest grandson Wuji said to Kong Huiyuan with a disdainful face.

"Then I wonder how long it will take for the eldest grandson to transcribe a book of Analects?" Kong Huiyuan asked the eldest grandson Wuji without being humble or arrogant.

"It takes a day or two to transcribe a book of Analects, but there is more to a book than just a book in the world?" The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said to Kong Huiyuan.

"Your Majesty, students can transcribe a book of Analects for the Emperor within a stick of incense. I wonder if the emperor thinks it's credible? Kong Huiyuan ignored President Sun Wuji, but said to Li Shimin.

Hearing Kong Huiyuan's words, even Kong Yingda on the side couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't it a fantasy to transcribe a book of Analects within a stick of incense.

However, Li Shimin was very interested, so he opened his mouth and said to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu: "This Kong Huiyuan, said that he can transcribe a Analect within a stick of incense, I don't know if you believe it or not?" ”

"Your Majesty, this Kong Huiyuan is grandiose. How can a Analect be transcribed in a single stick of incense? If he really can do it, he is willing to worship him as a teacher. The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, the Wenchen in the Taiji Hall spoke one after another, saying that Kong Huiyuan could not complete it at all. If Kong Huiyuan can complete it, they are all willing to worship Kong Huiyuan as a teacher.

"Kong Huiyuan, no one in the Manchu Dynasty thinks you can complete it, I don't know if you dare to gamble with everyone?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Kong Huiyuan.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you adults want to bet on with your students? If you are looking at a student as a teacher, then the student feels that it is not necessary. Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Guys, people don't look down on you old guys. So let's take a few other bets. Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, as long as this Kong Huiyuan is within a stick of incense, he can finish transcribing the Analects. The things in the minister's house are up to him Kong Huiyuan to pick them up. Eldest Sun Wuji said.

"Are all of you like the eldest grandson Aiqing? You have to think about it, and when the time comes, people will take a fancy to your mansion, and you will have to move and find another place to live. Li Shimin said with a smile.

No one believed that Kong Huiyuan could do it within a stick of incense. So he agreed to Li Shimin without hesitation.

But at this time, Cheng Yanjin walked out with a smile. opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you can still bet on a large size in the casino. I wonder if I can also make a bet? ”

"Then I don't know who Brother Cheng is going to bet on?" Li Shimin asked Cheng Yanjin with a smile. Li Shimin can't wait for Cheng to bite the gold to join in the fun, and with him, this gambling game will be really lively.

"I think this little doll is more reliable, so I'm ready to make a bet on him. I don't know if you old guys dare to bet with my old Cheng? Cheng Yanjin said.

"Lu Guogong is interested, and we are naturally willing to accompany him. It's just that the bet contract requires both parties to take out the bet, so I don't know what Lu Guogong and Master Kong want to bet on? Eldest Sun Wuji said.

To say that this eldest grandson Wuji is really a scheming person, he inadvertently pulled Kong Yingda into the water. In this way, it is not Kong Huiyuan's business alone, but the entire Qufu Kong family's business.

Cheng Yanjin naturally agreed to the eldest grandson Wuji without hesitation, and he was naturally no different from them. But Kong Yingda looked at his grandson Kong Huiyuan.

However, when he saw Kong Huiyuan nodding to him, Kong Yingda also smiled and agreed to the eldest grandson Wuji. And said with a smile: "When the time comes, don't feel sorry for the baby at home." ”
