Chapter 64: The Cultural Tradition of the Study of the Five Rites
"Good! What a punctuation mark!"
After Li Shimin heard the news and came over, he saw Fang Chen's "masterpiece" and immediately began to comment.
"Come here, call Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to Tai Chi Palace!"
Li Shimin couldn't wait to show the world that this was the result of the royal family. Even though Fang Chen could not become a prince due to his reputation, he still had the status of Princess Pingyang's son.
Next to Li Yuan, he was also very happy to open the glue. This Fang Chen also has a reputation! My beloved disciple!
Beloved disciple? Who knew that two hours ago, Li Yuan kept scolding him as a traitor in his heart!
"Father, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"
Li Shimin squinted his eyes and smiled at Li Yuan, saying that he specially invited Li Yuan to Tai Chi Palace to host it.
Li Yuan snorted. Judging from his eyes, he was very happy.
"Yu'er, can I reward you with a marquis?"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Chen again, and he was indescribably pleased with his eyes. This child was simply a "treasure" given to him by God from the Li family!
Fang Chen shook his head quickly, "Fang Chen doesn't dare to accept it, and he can't accept it. If he can, Fang Chen hopes to get a reward for others."
"Oh? Who are you going to replace?" Li Shimin and Li Yuan were both extremely curious. Changsun Wugou's eyes lit up. Could it be that my son has a sweetheart?
Fang Chen thought for a while and then said: "Fang Chen plans to ask for a reward for future generations of scholars. Anyone who teaches, educates people, or opens a place for calligraphy and learning, please be rewarded by your majesty."
Several people were stunned at the same time, "Yu'er, what do you mean?"
"Enlighten the people's wisdom and open their hearts!"
Li Shimin frowned slightly, "Do you know..."
"Fang Chen knows what His Majesty wants to say. The strategy of fooling the people is not advisable. If in our Tang Dynasty, everyone is literate and everyone is like a dragon, then it can be called a prosperous scene for all generations!"
"Okay! Yu'er, based on your words, I will ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life!"
It was Li Yuan who spoke this time. Obviously, Fang Chen's move not only made him see a different Xiao Yu'er, but also made him understand what it means to see the overall situation!
Blessings to all generations, should be worshiped by all people!
However, unlike what Li Shimin and Li Yuan thought, Fang Chen just felt that the popularity of Tang culture... was too low.
Li Shimin sighed, "This matter is difficult, I can only do my best."
It's difficult at this time, because knowledge is always in the hands of a few people. If everyone can really read, how can aristocratic families exist for so long?
Killing them? It is unrealistic, because the Li family relied on these aristocratic families to establish the Tang Dynasty.
But if they don't kill him, they will definitely be the biggest obstacle to this matter.
I looked at Fang Chen twice more and thought to myself: If my son were older, he would definitely be able to relieve my worries.
Now? Let’s forget about asking. Even if he really has a way, he can’t ask, and he doesn’t dare to ask!
If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them; if they are piled up on the shore, the water will be turbulent; if you walk higher than others, everyone will reject them...
Xiao Yuer must not be allowed to be the first person, but he must be given the punctuation credit.
"Come here, pass on my order, and grant Fang Chen the title of Marquis of the World. He will not be cut down for three generations, and he will not be punished for a big mistake!"
What does it mean to not cut off for three generations? A big mistake cannot be punished?
Li Yuan even felt that it was a little lacking. After all, Fang Chen was a prince and should be granted the title of king.
Fang Chen knelt down directly and said, "Your Majesty, forget it? Fang Chen... Fang Chen is still young..."
If you can't find an excuse, you can't just say, I'm still a child and I don't want to enter the court!
Li Yuan and Changsun Wugou couldn't help coughing twice, and Liu Sancheng hurriedly ran to stop the chamberlain who was about to deliver the order.
Fang Chen was right, he was still too young...
"I...I am so ashamed of you!"
After Li Shimin calmed down, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This child is so lovable.
Fang Chen was almost scared to tears. When he passed down the world? Oh my god, if he goes up further, he will not be far away from death. Did the great men of ancient times die miserably?
There was once an idol of Fang Chen who had a tattoo on his back saying "loyalty to serve the country", but in the end he had someone killed because he was tabooed by the emperor. Is it unfair?
Although the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were very powerful, they were not powerful enough to plot the murder of a general of the dynasty. To put it bluntly, Qin Hui was just a knife pushed out by the emperor. He borrowed the knife to kill people, and then destroyed the knife to build a temple for Yue Fei.
Of.
What does this incident tell us?
That is, people should not be too outstanding, and they must also learn to maintain a good relationship with their superiors to ensure that their superiors will not think they are taboo about you and fire you directly!
"Guanyin Maid, please take Yu'er back. My father and I will meet with important ministers today."
Changsun Wugou smiled and nodded, "I understand."
"Sir, students are resigning. Dinner will be served. Remember, don't drink."
Fang Chen shouted and left with Changsun Wugou.
Li Yuan was quite happy to hear it at first, but when he got to the last sentence, he couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "This traitor!"
Li Shimin grinned, "Father, don't take the children's jokes seriously. I will let you have wine and food arranged for you."
Li Yuan snorted coldly, "How can my beloved disciple's thoughts be compared to that of a traitor like you?"
Li Shimin's eyes widened. He clearly heard you call him a traitor, so why has he changed again?
Before Liu Sancheng left in the distance, he came to Li Shimin and briefly explained the situation. After hearing this, Li Shimin immediately understood that he had misunderstood, and was extremely happy that his eldest grandson Wugu was serving Li Yuan's meal.
"Father, have you already begun to forgive me?"
He didn't dare to ask this sentence because he knew the result after asking, but after Fang Chen appeared, Li Yuan became obviously much more cheerful.
After Changsun Wuji, Fang Du and others arrived, they were extremely surprised to see the two majesties sitting together without any quarrel.
You know, since the Xuanwu Sect, Li Yuan would have a big fight every time he saw Li Shimin. What happened today?
"Everyone is here, come here quickly!"
Li Shimin quickly called them to come closer and handed them a piece of paper.
Before reading the content, Wei Zheng had a dark look on his face and immediately started taunting him when they met: "I wonder whose calligraphy is this, and His Majesty is so happy that he summoned all the ministers to appreciate it together?"
Li Shimin's face instantly darkened, damn Wei Heizi, didn't I just say a few words to you this morning?
Li Yuan laughed loudly, "This is written by my beloved disciple, you should study hard!"
The next moment, Changsun Wuji also blushed: "Your Majesty, this wording is good, but there are many typos in it. I don't know what I want to appreciate?"
"Okay!" The difference was Du Ruhui, who bowed immediately after seeing him finish reading.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask the person who wrote the letter to come out. I have something important to do."
Li Yuan waved his hand, "My beloved disciple is also someone you can see whenever you want?"
Du Ruhui's eyes were full of excitement, like a pilgrim, "I must get to know such a great talent."
Changsun Wuji and others were very puzzled after hearing this. They just glanced at it and didn't find anything strange. Seeing that Du Ruhui didn't seem to be faking it, they picked up the piece of paper again and looked at it carefully. After a while, they came to an understanding.
Wei Zheng said seriously: "I should recommend this person to be an official!"
At this time, Changsun Wuji also remembered who the beloved disciple Li Yuan mentioned was, and said with a wry smile: "You two adults should stop joking. Can't we see that person?"
Fang Xuanling was very surprised, "Why?"
Li Shimin looked at the shocked expressions of several people with a smile. He was no better than himself before. His face was full of pride. This is my prince!
Changsun Wuji bowed respectfully to Li Yuan and Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I wonder where the Second Highness is now?"
Your Highness? Where did Your Highness come from? Wait, is this Fang Chen who was approached by the palace and turned out to be Princess Pingyang’s adopted son? I heard that His Majesty and the Empress treated him extremely generously, and the Crown Prince even directly called him Second Brother.
.
Li Yuan nodded in disbelief, "You know what I mean."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Yu'er and the queen have returned to Kunning Palace. You can't see them, but I can explain to you the meaning of this punctuation mark."
With punctuation marks, you will definitely save yourself the trouble of judging pauses or sentences when reading poems in the future. It can be said that a little cleverness can lead to big things.
Fang and Du sighed in their hearts: "I am a born Qilin child!"
With these punctuation points, all imperial studies and official studies in the future will save a lot of trouble. When students read books, they no longer have to figure out how their predecessors segmented sentences, but can directly learn the character of their predecessors!
In the Tang Dynasty today, there is no method of sentence segmentation. Holding a book in hand, all you can see are handwritten handwritings. You can only rely on guesswork to confirm where each sentence should be written.
Printed rare books are extremely expensive and can almost be used as family heirlooms. This especially shows the ancient people's thirst for knowledge.
Fang Chen never thought about changing the Tang Dynasty. Even what happened this time was his unintentional mistake. He was really curious about the Six Arts of Junzi!
Although there are interpretations in later generations, after all, they are not as detailed as what Li Yuan said. These five rituals alone represent a kind of inheritance originating from the depths of culture.
The good fortune among the five rituals corresponds to the etiquette of the three ideologies of heaven, earth, humans and ghosts.
Evil rituals: represents all the etiquette related to tragic funerals, including natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is clearly marked in "Zhou Rites": mourning the country's worries with tragic rituals: mourning death with funeral rituals, mourning tragic letters with barren rituals,
Use mourning rituals to mourn disasters, mourning rituals to mourn encirclement and defeat, and condolence rituals to mourn invaders and chaos.
Among the remaining guest gifts, military gifts, and honorary gifts, the one that intrigued Fang Chen the most and was most in line with his taste was the military gift.
Used for conquests, various military aspects, and military etiquette.
Military salutes rarely involve kneeling, and most of them involve kneeling on one knee. When wearing full armor, you only need to bow slightly and hold your fists.
"The Tang Dynasty actually had morning exercises? Interesting!"
On the way back to Kunning Palace, Fang Chen's thoughts were still on the military ceremony. From this, he realized the conduct and code of conduct of many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
I thought he was an ordinary person who was a soldier in wartime and worked as a farmer instead of fighting. It seemed that I had underestimated something.
It would be very interesting if you could train a team by yourself and compete with these famous Tang Dynasty generals!
Fang Chen couldn't help laughing when he thought of this, which made Changsun Wugou feel a little baffled and pinched his ears as if he was angry.
"Oh, my dear, please be gentle, it's about to fall!"
