154 Asking the Guilty Teacher (II)

A reputation for centuries?

Cui Tingshi and Su Laosheng looked at each other, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes, being a literati, who doesn't want to be famous and famous.

"Xiaoyuan, I have carefully scrutinized your punctuation marks, and there is indeed something magical to be desired, just like a beginner, it is very helpful, but when it comes to celebrity history, this is over." Su Lao said with some disbelieving.

Throughout the ages, how many readers want to be famous in history, but there are only a handful of people who can really succeed.

Cui Tingshi didn't speak, just gently plucked the tea in the cup with the tea lid, as if he didn't have an intention, but in fact, both ears were erected.

Liu Yuan smiled, like these situations, he had thought of them early in the morning.

"The emergence of a new thing, whether it is good or bad, is not someone who has the final say, but whether it plays a positive role, here, I will tell you a joke."

"There is a teaching gentleman, in a rich miser home to teach students, although the master of the family property, but still very stingy, always do not make something delicious, Mr. really can't help it, and can't help but say to his face, so he left a note: "No chicken and duck can also be no fish and meat can also be green vegetables and tofu is indispensable for shochu", this teaching Mr. originally meant "no chicken, duck can also; No fish, meat is also acceptable; Green vegetables and tofu are not allowed, and less shochu is not good. After leaving a note, the teacher quietly waited for the food to be improved, but after several days, the master always brought him green vegetables and tofu, and he finally couldn't help it, and said to the master, "Don't you see the note I wrote?" Don't you see me asking for food? The master said respectfully: "I saw it, didn't Mr.'s note say?" No chicken and duck, no fish can also be used, and green vegetables and tofu are indispensable. Shochu doesn't work. I strictly follow my husband's request to provide food! ”

After Liu Yuan's joke was finished, Cui Tingshi and Su Lao did not laugh, on the contrary. Both were lost in thought.

Although it is just a joke, the deep meaning contained in it is thought-provoking, the same word, after different sentences, but there are two completely different meanings, but fortunately it is a joke, otherwise, the consequences will be serious.

Throughout the ages, there have been many examples, disputes, and unjust cases caused by out-of-context quotes, and many local tyrants and gentry have also used these "word games" to exploit and oppress illiterate farmers. And more students, because they did not worship under the famous teacher or did not get good guidance, at first they took a fork in the road and did not know it, and after several times of turning back, they wasted a lot of beautiful time.

Mr. Su said a little hesitantly: "Xiaoyuan." I understand what you mean, it's good to make a good proposal. But isn't that a little wrong? ”

"Wrong? Su Lao said bluntly. ”

"The original price of the book was as high as two or three hundred words. If you encounter a rare book, the price is even more expensive, and many scholars who are tired of making a living can copy it on behalf of them in exchange for a meager income, and you only sell a few dozen texts per book, and the price is lower than that of a scholar's copy. This has affected the livelihood of many scholars, and now that this punctuation mark that can be literate is released, I am afraid that many gentlemen who use private schools will also be affected. In this way, there are many people who are offended and affected. ”

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Su Lao's words are wrong, let's talk about copying first, in fact, there are not many people who copy now, rich people, who don't keep a few house slaves who know how to read and break bytes, what do you want to copy, you can let them do it with an order, there is no need to invite outsiders, people who have no money, instead of spending money, it is better to copy it yourself, you can review it and save money and silver, why not." ”

"In fact, a scholar, at most, copies a few books a year, can not make a living, many Han scholars, that is, for people to name names, repair family trees, write letters and read letters, write some spring and other articles to help make a living, the impact is actually not great; As for those tutors who are afraid of losing their jobs, the younger generation thinks that it is exaggerated, as a teacher, if his knowledge is limited to literacy and sentences, then this kind of mentor who sells his reputation and misleads people's children should not be. ”

Liu Yuan's words were reasonable, and Mr. Su didn't have anything to say, just muttered: "That's right, I always feel a little unbearable." ”

"Old Su, you are too merciful." Liu Yuan continued: "Although there is a bit of a bad effect in the near future, but in general, it is still very good, at least, many sages will not distort it, and no one will easily use knowledge to frame others. ”

The merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future?

If you can really promote it, although it was Liu Yuan's first creation, but by his own interpretation, Cui Tingshi's inscription, it can also be regarded as Bole's work to know horses, if Liu Yuan is not greedy, take all the credit to himself, he not only has a good reputation for support, a bad one, others still think that he and Cui Tingshi may also participate in the innovation of this punctuation mark.

"This is a great goodness" Cui Tingshi suddenly said loudly: "This kind of merit is in the present generation, and it is a great thing that benefits the future, how can we lose our righteousness because of small profits?" ”

Cui Tingshi suddenly became righteous and said awe-inspiringly: "I decided to send an edict to the imperial court, report this punctuation mark to the emperor, and ask everyone (formerly referring to the Son of Heaven) to make an edict to use this concise and concise reading weapon in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"This ...... Master Cui, do you need to discuss it, after all, this change is too big, Su thinks that it is only feasible, but it has to be done slowly. Su Lao said a little cautiously.

"For the sake of the world's scholars, it's a big deal to fight this crimson body, and go back to your hometown as an idle wild crane." Cui Tingshi said categorically that if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent.

Purple clothes are precious, Cui Tingshi, as a member of the third grade, is qualified to wear a crimson official uniform, what do you say to spell out this crimson, in fact, it is a big deal I don't mean this official.

Su Lao was moved all of a sudden, he didn't expect Cui Thorn Shigui to be the Thorn History of a state, for a belief, he could not even be a third-grade Shangguan, compared with him, he was afraid of himself, it was simply selfish, and it was too far behind.

"Lord Assassin Shi really understands the righteousness, Su is not talented, he is willing to get a few close friends, cheer for Lord Assassin Shi, and is also willing to make a contribution to the world's scholars.

Cui Xiong said a few words, and suddenly dragged the hesitant Mr. Su into his camp, and with Mr. Su's influence, he contacted his friends who were also contemporary Confucian masters, as long as they spoke in the same tone, it was a strong voice among the scholars. It helped a lot to Cui Tingshi's decree.

Su Lao was moved by Cui Tingshi and immediately expressed his support, while Liu Yuan on the side saw it very clearly, and admired Cui Tingshi's methods even more in his heart.

It is obvious that Cui Tingshi is making a big gamble, betting on his future and life.

In the matter of Changsun Shengwen last time, although Cui Tingshi listened to Liu Yuan's clever plan, he insisted that Changsun Shengwen was a fake, and forcibly sent him back to Changsun Mansion to be dealt with by Zhao Guogong. accompanied by a large amount of property, and in terms of performance, it did a good job and avoided a career crisis. But in fact, Cui Xiong has already offended the eldest grandson.

offended the famous Zhao Guogong. This is the end of Cui Tingshi's official fortunes. It's good to be able to hold the position of assassin, but you have to worry about others taking you down at any time, and the Cui family will not offend the high-ranking and powerful eldest grandson family for a small side lineage.

With this punctuation mark, the ambitious Cui Xiong immediately sensed that his opportunity had come.

Instead of waiting for the revenge of the eldest grandson clan all day long, it is better to find an opportunity. Break through, as long as you enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven and put it together, you may have another chance.

Think left and right. Cui Tingshi decided to seize the opportunity of punctuation and make a flowery "article".

When Liu Yuan and Su Lao were discussing those things just now, he had been silent, on the surface he held his own identity and did not participate in the discussion, in fact, he had been thinking about whether to fight just now, and after he heard Liu Yuan say "The merit is in the contemporary, the benefit is in the future", Cui Xiong decided on the spot: fight.

It's a pity that no matter how righteous he said, he deceived Su Lao, but he couldn't deceive Liu Yuan, who was a reincarnation.

This abacus is a "snap" sound.

"Lord Assassin Shi understands the righteousness and is willing to seek benefits for the world's scholars, and the younger generation is deeply moved." Thinking about it, Liu Yuan still put on a high hat at the right time.

Being a human being, sometimes it's a little more interesting, so that it's likable.

Cui Tingshi patted Liu Yuan's shoulder, and said in a deep tone: "Ha Luha, this junior uses the word "he" well, he is making a fortune, but don't forget my senior." ”

Didn't this guy let the door take his head into ruin, could he say something like that? He is the son of the famous Qinghe Cui family, ranking in the position of Yangzhou Assassin History, shrewd and sophisticated, playing power tricks in officialdom, bold and careful, and his future is limitless, and now he actually says that he wants to take care of him himself?

The joke is too big.

Liu Yuan hurriedly said: "My lord's words are serious, he can really make a fortune in the future, and he will never dare to forget the grace of today's adult." ”

"Okay, okay." After getting Liu Yuan's promise, Cui Tingshi rarely showed joy on his face.

"My lord, what should I do about that Zhang Gu?" Taking advantage of Cui Tingshi's happiness, Liu Yuan took the opportunity to ask.

If that guy is like a dog skin plaster entangled with himself, it will also be a very troublesome thing, take the opportunity to mention it to this big "boss" and let him help him solve it.

"A bunch of poor people can't turn over any storms, and then I'll let Zhao Zhutou beat him a few times to settle down, by the way" Cui Tingshi turned his head to Mr. Su and said, "Dean Su." ”

"Master Thorn Shi, Su is here."

"Didn't you say that the scholars in your academy were divided into two factions because of the punctuation dispute, ignore them, argue with them, let them make trouble, the bigger the movement, the better, I want to make a kind of argument, so that it is convenient to get to the order."

Cui Tingshi personally ordered it, and Su Lao didn't say anything, and said very simply: "It's just right, now you can't ban it if you want to, just let them go, let him argue, as long as he doesn't go out of line." ”

The three of them had a heated discussion again, in fact, the main thing was that the assassin asked Liu Yuan about the wonders of those punctuation marks, probably for the convenience of the decree, and as for the matter of Xingshi's questioning, it had long been thrown out of the clouds.

In fact, at the beginning, there was no intention of asking guilt.

Cui Tingshi and Su Lao are both great Confucians among scholars, and they talk endlessly as soon as they discuss knowledge, plus there is a new form of punctuation, which is added to learning, and they feel even more mysterious, as for Liu Yuan, he can only listen more and say less in front of the two literary giants, but he has more knowledge of later generations than others, and his occasional speech is also amazing, so that the two dare not underestimate him.

The three of them discussed until the sunset, Cui Tingshi wanted to stay with Liu Yuan for dinner, but Liu Yuan was worried about tomorrow's business, and he was afraid that the two daughters would worry, so he still said goodbye, and when he saw Liu Yuan leaving, Su Lao felt that the two were bored, so he also said goodbye and left.

After the others left, Cui Tingshi hid in the study alone and began to draft the materials to be reported, and was writing to the point of being proud, but he didn't expect the housekeeper to suddenly break in, and said with a panicked face: "Master, there is a guest arriving." ”

"Panic, what kind of system." Cui Tingshi was furious when he saw this, and reprimanded him on the spot.

This report is related to his career, and he is naturally very attentive, and he writes it to the point of being proud, and he is most afraid that someone will disturb him, and now he suddenly breaks in, although he is his confidant, he is still very unhappy.

The housekeeper didn't care whether he was angry or not, and hurriedly said a few words close to his ear, Cui Tingshi listened, stared at the boss with a shocked face, didn't say a word, threw the pen, hurriedly walked out, and when he walked to a carriage, Cui Tingshi, who was invincible in Yangzhou, was like a humble subordinate, bent his waist deeply, and said respectfully:

"The nephew didn't know that the third uncle had arrived, and he was far away to welcome ........." (to be continued.) )
