As soon as Li Yu sat down, Tang Taizong walked in with his eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It turned out that Tang Taizong and the two important ministers had already come to the door of the classroom and eavesdropped on the movements inside. After all, I couldn't hear it clearly, and the weather was cold, so I just came in.
Li Su and the others hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Shimin.
Kong Yingda is a teacher, and he stands and salutes Li Shimin. This is his privilege in the classroom, and it also reflects Li Shimin's respect for him.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Get up, today, I and Lord Changsun and Lord Fang will also come to listen." We'll just have our ears and you go on. ”
The crown prince and the others hurriedly vacated some seats and let Li Shimin and the others sit down.
Kong Yingda said: "Your Majesty, just now the minister has compared Li Su's knowledge, and it is indeed a great progress, and now the minister has fulfilled his words, and Li Su has made a question to test the minister." ”
Then, he said to Li Su: "You can make the question." ”
Li Su has the knowledge of modern science and technology, and he can stump Kong Yingda with a random question, such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, but these studies are regarded as obscene skills in Datang and are not convincing.
Only in terms of Kong Yingda's best knowledge of scripture and history can he be truly convinced.
The Five Classics refer to the five Confucian classics, namely the "Poems" ("Book of Songs"), the "Shu" ("Shangshu", "Shujing"), the "Li" ("Book of Rites"), the "Yi" ("Zhou Yi"), and the "Spring and Autumn". During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court officially declared these five books as classics, so they were called the "Five Classics".
In order to give a unified answer to the Five Classics, Tang Taizong ordered to convene some famous Confucian scholars at that time to jointly write the "Five Classics of Justice".
The "Five Classics of Justice" was really compiled after the death of Kong Yingda, after the imperial court edict Zhongshu and the doctor of the third hall of Guozi and the bachelor of the Hongwen Pavilion were examined, and it was promulgated in the fourth year of Yonghui of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (653). It has been circulated throughout the country and played a role in schools at all levels and among the people, as the standard for the imperial examination.
The best way to convince a person is with his own thoughts, and no one will not fail to admire himself. At this time, "The Righteousness of the Five Classics" was in the early stage of research, and it was presided over by Kong Yingda.
Li Su decided to use Kong Yingda's research results to deal with Kong Yingda.
Li Su said: "Master, the student has carefully studied the Pentateuch and believes that there are many ambiguities in the current Pentateuch, so I would like to talk to you about my views on the Pentateuch. ”
Kong Yingda nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." When he said this, he didn't think so, and he didn't believe that a hairy child could have any unique opinions. There was inevitably some contempt in the tone.
"In the Five Classics, Zhou Yi ......" Li Su opened Baidu and read the articles in the "Five Classics of Justice" according to the script.
At the beginning, Kong Yingda leaned back to prevent Li Su's foaming star from spraying on him. Listening to this, his body sat up straight, and then his head got closer and closer to Li Su's mouth, completely ignoring Li Su's morning, because he got up late, and there was no smell of brushing his teeth.
Kong Yingda felt that what Li Su said was what he thought it was, no, he was more clever and comprehensive than himself. He looked at the little kid in front of him, and suddenly felt that he deserved his attention.
Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling are all people who study the Five Classics, and their expressions are similar to Kong Yingda. As for the students in the audience, they had already heard their mouths wide open, and their saliva was slamming on the ground. (exaggerated)
Li Su talked endlessly, Li Shimin's eyes became more and more surprised, and his huge palm was unconsciously raised, and it was about to hit Li Su's head again.
Li Su watched and listened to all directions, and had already discovered his father's actions. However, he didn't dare to dodge, and was hit by the dragon's claws, which was glory!
Sure enough, with a "snap", Li Su subconsciously closed his eyes. All right!
It turned out that Li Shimin was sitting at a distance from him, and he couldn't hit it, so he slapped his palm on the desk.
"Good boy! Yours is it! Li Shimin couldn't help but praise.
"Huh?" All the students were dumbfounded.
The next thing was even more shocking to them, Master Kong, who was usually majestic and arrogant, actually respectfully saluted Li Su. said: "His Royal Highness King Liang, you have bowed down." ”
Kong Yingda is a real Confucian, and he didn't feel that he had lost face because Li Su was competing with him. He said to Li Shimin sincerely: "Your Majesty, congratulations, His Royal Highness King Liang is outstanding in his talents, and the ministers really can't teach him." ”
Hearing this, Li Dan and Du He couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seemed that they would be able to skip school every day in the future.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Congratulations to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Liang is also admired." ”
Li Su was praised and began to burn the buns. He said: "Father, the son has a suggestion that may be helpful in teaching. ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”
Li Su took his notebook, wrote and drew on it, and soon handed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin saw that there were some strange dots on the original notes, however, it was because of these dots that the articles on the entire notes became extremely clear.
He held back his excitement, handed the note to Kong Yingda, and said, "Master Kong, come and see." ”
Kong Yingda looked at it for a while, and the expression on her face changed, confused, surprised, surprised, and emotional. It's exciting!
"This, this ......" he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Articles of the ancients, without punctuation. The article is full of articles, which look dense, and make people feel like they are in a phobia of the dense array.
Articles without punctuation are not only inconvenient to read, but also have different meanings or even complete opposites because of the different positions of the sentences.
"It's called punctuation, so in order for everyone to understand its importance, I'll tell you a little story," Li said. ”
After that, he told a story.
Legend has it that there is a talented man who wrote a New Year's auspicious message for the farmer's family: "This year, there is no money to enter the door, pigs are raised, all rats are plagued, wine tanks are good to make vinegar drops of acid", without punctuation, some people read as: "This year is so mildew, there is no wealth to enter the door; Pigs are all big rats, all plagues; It is good to make vinegar and drop acid. ”
When the peasant heard this, he was so angry that he questioned the talented man. The genius used a pen to add punctuation and became: "This year is good, there is no mildew, and wealth enters the door; Pigs are all big, rats are all plague, it is good to make wine tanks, and vinegar drips acid", the meaning is completely different, and the anger of the farmers is not only gone, but also laughing.
Li Su's story is easy to understand, which caused a burst of laughter from everyone.
Kong Yingda respectfully saluted Li Su and said, "His Royal Highness King Liang, I admit defeat, please teach me this punctuation mark, I will promote it to all readers in the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Shimin said: "Okay, this matter must be carried out as soon as possible, and the provincial I struggle to break sentences every day when I review the chapters. Li Su, you and Master Kong are in charge of this matter. ”
"The retainers obey." "Obey." Li Su and Kong Yingda replied together.
Tang Taizong asked: "Li Su, if you have any suggestions, please say them." ”
