Looking at the backs of Li Ke and Jin Yang, Li Shimin suddenly felt that he had never understood this son.
Chang Lin silently looked at Li Ke and then at Li Shimin. He knew that His Majesty the King of Shu had hit His Majesty's weakness again, but Chang Lin felt the same as what His Majesty the King of Shu said, because Chang Lin was born as an ordinary commoner. Family, he couldn't be more moved by the words in Li Ke's mouth.
Changle and the other princesses also had a lot of feelings. They had all read books, but they had never had such thoughts as Li Ke. However, just eight words touched them greatly. It was a kind of emotion that is difficult to explain. s things.
There was light shining in Changle's eyes.
After playing around with Jinyang for a while, he saw that the chefs and guards over there had set up two ovens. Li Ke walked over directly. He had done kebabs many times, so naturally he wanted to do it himself. After baking it, come out to play. If you don't do it yourself, you will lose your soul.
The other oven was naturally handed over to the chefs. These chefs were personally trained by Li Ke and were naturally very skilled.
Seeing Li Ke's actions, Li Shimin originally wanted to stop drinking. He was a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, but instead he went to the kitchen. What kind of behavior was he doing? !
He took a large handful of dressed mutton skewers and put them on the oven in front of him. Looking at the sizzling sound of the charcoal-grilled mutton skewers, Li Ke was in a daze, as if he hadn't traveled through time yet, but he raised his head. , everything around him reminded him that it was now 635 AD, the ninth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
Skillfully, he grabbed a handful of chili noodles and sprinkled them on the mutton skewers. Smelling the familiar smell, Li Ke couldn't help but shout loudly: "You are grilling some of them without chili peppers. They in Jinyang are too young to eat chili peppers."
"Yes, Your Highness." Li Ke, the chef over there, agreed.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin also came over. Looking at Li Ke's familiar look, Li Shimin knew that this kid had been playing a lot. He was... it was obvious that this kid was actually quite talented. At least the lyrics he just wrote were pretty good. .
But my thoughts all day were spent on eating, drinking and having fun.
"Oh, dad, are you going to teach me that a gentleman is far away from the chef?" Li Ke saw something wrong in Li Shimin's eyes, so he spoke in advance.
"What does this have to do with Junzi Yuan's chef?" Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Ke and asked.
"Uh?" Li Ke was a little confused, "If a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, doesn't he just want me to stay away from the kitchen?"
Li Shimin: "..."
"Pfft..." Changle and Yuzhang were sitting not far away. When they heard Li Ke's words, they couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. They laughed so happily.
"That's wrong?" Li Ke looked at Chang Lin confused.
Li Shimin's face turned dark. I just praised you for your good knowledge.
The corner of Chang Lin's mouth twitched, and then he explained: "Your Highness, the gentleman far away from the kitchen comes from "Mencius". The original text means that King Xuan of Qi couldn't bear it when he saw the people killing cattle for sacrifice, so he ordered the people to let go of the cattle and kill the sheep. Later, when Mencius advised King Xuan of Qi to practice the art of benevolence, he said this sentence. The meaning of the context is that a gentleman cannot bear to see these birds and animals dying, so he stays away from the cook."
Li Ke: "..."
It’s all to blame for the fact that many people in later generations always take quotes out of context.
"What, of course I know this. I am here to warn you, Emperor Father." Li Ke started to quibble without saying a word. Are you kidding me? Your Highness, the King of Shu, cannot be wrong. If I am wrong, then I will definitely It was this world that made me wrong, that is, the world was wrong.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes: "Go on, if you can't explain why to me, don't eat this meat today, I will starve you for a day."
That's it? Li Ke curled his lips, a gangster from the 21st century, am I afraid of this?
Changle and the others also focused their attention, and they were also curious about how their third brother could tell the difference.
"Dad, why do you think I made this mistake just now?" Li Ke asked.
"Nonsense, except that you don't study hard and are half-hearted, what else could it be?" Li Shimin's face was a little dark, but you still had the nerve to ask me.
"Dad, what do you think Qin Shihuang's greatest contribution to China is?" Li Ke asked another irrelevant question.
"Of course, it is to unify the six countries, make China a unified dynasty again, end the chaos of the princes, and allow the people of the world to recuperate and recuperate." Li Shimin said.
"It makes sense, but I think the greater achievement is that the books are written in the same text, the cars are on the same track, the degrees are in the same system, the practices are in the same discipline, and the land is in the same region. This laid a solid foundation for later generations to establish a unified dynasty. This is also the case for many Chinese The reason why the surrounding nomadic peoples entered China but were constantly assimilated." Li Ke said.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "What you said makes some sense, but what does this have to do with you?"
"That's a big deal. From ancient times to the present, because of the underdeveloped papermaking technology in ancient times, people wrote books on bamboo slips, so in order to save space as much as possible, although people have invented punctuation marks, they have not No! Most of the time I don’t use punctuation!”
Punctuation marks have been around for a long time, but few people use them because everyone has developed a habit.
"In this case, there will be a very serious consequence, that is, reading out of context! So why is it difficult to read now and teachers are needed? That is because many articles do not have punctuation marks. Ordinary people cannot read without teachers and cannot understand what they mean! So popularize punctuation Symbols are very important!”
"I think you should treat this matter as a decree of the Tang Dynasty and carry it out, requiring everyone to use punctuation marks to break up sentences when writing articles. This can reduce the difficulty of reading for future generations. The key point is to prevent people from reading. Taking it out of context has misunderstood the original author's meaning!" Li Ke said seriously.
Li Shimin: "..."
Just as he was about to say something, Li Ke spoke before him: "Father, don't believe it. In the simplest sentence, Confucius said: People can follow it, but they cannot know it. Confucius's original words had no punctuation, so How many ways will future generations break sentences when they read it?"
"What I just read is one kind, and it also says: If it is allowed by the people, let it be done. If it is not allowed, let it be known."
"The third kind is that the people can make it happen and act accordingly. If they cannot make it happen, they know it."
"The fourth kind is that the people can make it happen, but they can't do it; the people know it."
"The fifth kind, can the people follow it? No, it can be known."
"Dad, tell me for yourself, Confucius said a sentence, but there are five ways to break it up, and the five ways to break up the sentence have completely different meanings, many are even completely opposite. If such a situation appears in a government decree, or in your imperial edict, What do you think will happen if it appears in an important history book of the Tang Dynasty?!"
Li Shimin, Chang Lin, Chang Le and other princesses are all stupid. Isn't it just a gentleman who cooks far away? As for that? ! The problem is that Li Ke's words... made Li Shimin realize the seriousness of the matter. In other words, as a descendant of an aristocratic family, they have always had teachers to teach them. They did not understand the seriousness of the problem, or they would not point it out clearly if they understood it. .
But as a ruler, Li Shimin instantly understood the benefits of using punctuation marks! If books have punctuation marks, it means that literacy can be taught by oneself, unlike now where a teacher is required.
He raised his head and looked at Li Ke, his expression became extremely strange, so? Can you quibble over national policies that are beneficial to the country? !
"Dad, okay, you can try it." Li Ke casually handed over a few skewers of mutton in his hand.
Li Shimin took it subconsciously.
