Wei Zheng planned to stay up all night when he went back tonight and write a letter of remonstrance. The number of words must be long and the allusions must be profound. It would not be complete unless the emperor was dazzled.
He has wanted to do this for a long time...
Li Po didn't know that this guy was trying to cause trouble for him, so he gave him a blow and it was over.
"Speaking of articles, you are one of the few well-read people in the court. I have something I don't understand. Can you explain it to me?"
Scholars all have this problem, they like to be teachers, teachers, preaching and learning, and solving doubts. For example, Wen Yanbo had a half-teacher relationship with Li Po, because when he was in Youzhou, Wen Yanbo taught Li Po how to read and write.
In this way, Li Bi can actually be regarded as Li Po's teacher. When they were in Yunnei, she was the one who enlightened Li Po's brothers and sisters.
Although the first two people were very indifferent, one was perfunctory, and the other actually used a Buddhist scripture as an enlightenment reading material for others.
But in fact, they all have a teacher-student relationship with Li Po.
As for Li Po's serious teacher Li Jing, needless to say, this teacher and father-in-law never taught Li Po anything personally, but only gave Li Po a lot of military manuals.
As a student, Li Po often used Li Jing as a cover, and neither master nor disciple took each other too seriously.
This is even more true now. Between the emperor and his ministers, Li Jing would never regard himself as the emperor's master when talking to others, let alone talk about it on his own initiative.
Li Po often used the word "teacher" on his lips, but that was just to express an attitude, and he never got used to it when he encountered Li Jing who needed to put on airs.
……………………
At this time, when he heard that the emperor had something to ask, Wei Zheng immediately cheered up. The emperor always had many and complicated questions. The most common ones were some difficult and difficult parts in the memorials, and the emperor asked his ministers to interpret them.
But now such times are becoming less and less. One reason is that the emperor gradually became familiar with the format of memorials and read more, and his literary talent gradually grew. In addition, the ministers in the court also knew the emperor's details and would not expose him in front of the emperor.
Show off, because that proficiency is making yourself uncomfortable.
Furthermore, the emperor was surrounded by Yan Shigu, Xue Yuanjing, etc., and in the outer court there were Cen Wenwen, Yang Shidao and others. These people were all well-known figures in the contemporary literary world. In terms of literary affairs, Wei Zheng was inferior to them.
So there aren't many opportunities to show your face.
Moreover, Li Po was afraid that he would bring in private goods and make himself upset, so he would seek him out less often. Seeing that a generation of famous ministers was about to fall into such depravity, Li Po didn't feel much.
Now he has met too many outstanding people. If Wei Zheng wants to get ahead, he can't just rely on those words of advice. Wait until you win over a few high-ranking officials.
……………………
"Your Majesty, please speak. I will tell you everything I know."
Li Po smiled and said: "There is no need to be so serious, it is just a casual chat. I have read a lot of books over the years, but due to my family background, I have never studied articles well.
I don’t know much about children’s enlightenment. I heard that children need to learn to read sentences when they start to read. Can you tell me what are the advantages and disadvantages of reading sentences?”
It was really a small talk. Walking in the twilight, Wei Zheng was a little disappointed. Sentence reading is the most basic thing in contemporary literature, and every educated child must learn this in the end.
A person like Wei Zheng who has read poetry and books has already integrated this into his bones. It is as natural as eating and drinking. Even if he occasionally overturns, it can only be blamed on the person who wrote the article. If he goes back and reads it again, it will be smooth.
.
But the more this happens, the more I don’t know where to start.
Wei Zheng felt that it was normal for the emperor to be troubled by this. He had read too few books. He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time before he could organize his words. "To convey the meaning is a sentence, and the transition is to read. I don't know when this started."
The ancients derived it from the transformation of sounds and marked it with words, and then it became natural.
Fu, Wei, Gai, Gu, etc. are at the beginning of the sentence, Ye, Yan, Zhi, Zai, etc. are at the end of the sentence. If there is a slight pause in the change of tone in the middle, it is in reading.
If you read a lot, naturally...if you want to write a good article, you must take it into account. A good article will make you feel full after reading it, and this is it.
The sound follows suit, it stops when it needs to, and it pauses when it needs to, and it is done in one go. Even if the meaning is not profound, it can be classified as a masterpiece."
At this point, Wei Zheng added in his mind that if a child wants to become a talented person, he must first write such an article, and good works will come second.
Li Po nodded. From the reading of small sentences, you can see some of the behavior of the ancients. The sages were so willful. It doesn't matter whether you can understand the article or not. Those who understand are the ones who can be made. Those who can't understand can be made.
The teachings are useless...
This kind of vague rules is the easiest way to judge the level of IQ, which shows the pride of the sages, and it is the dabblers like Li Po who suffer.
The more books he read, the more deeply he hated it.
At this time, Li Po finally spoke his mind, "Why is there a saying that wouldn't it be better to separate?"
This is actually what Li Po is most confused about. The ancients were not stupid. Do they have to set up such obstacles for the purpose of monopolizing knowledge? Or are they too proud? Is it really that difficult to press the space bar?
I guess it's both, right? It's really not easy to study well in this world. Reading is the first threshold, and sentence reading is another mountain. You can't read articles fluently, how dare you call yourself a scholar?
Books, teachers, words, plus sentence reading, the wild people who want to learn are firmly blocked from the door.
Wei Zheng obviously has not thought about this. I guess he may have thought about it when he was enlightened. It's just that people who easily cross the threshold don't think so much.
He said in a very uncertain tone: "In ancient times, silk, bamboo slips and other materials were used to write, so we shouldn't waste it easily, right?"
However, he then thought about the separated article and suddenly had a terrible feeling. Then he thought that His Majesty the Emperor was always full of fantastic ideas. He had changed the chronology before, and now he was finally going to attack the article.
?
With this conjecture, Wei Zheng remembered his job and immediately advised: "Does the Supreme Being want to change the format of the article? I advise the Supreme Being not to do it.
The theory of sentence reading has been around since ancient times, and it has become a common practice up to now. Even the emperor cannot change it without permission..."
Hearing this, Li Po couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand: "Do you mean to say that you will be attacked by the scholars all over the world? Naturally, I have no intention of changing it, but if someone writes a letter to say something, I can consider it for the sake of enlightenment in the future.
Children are a blessing.”
Damn it... Wei Zheng felt a chill down his back, feeling that he was getting more bad luck and might become a street rat in the future. After all, the meaning of the emperor's words was too obvious.
The emperor himself doesn't want to be reviled, so he naturally has to find someone to take the blame...
Well, there’s no need to be surprised about the emperor’s basic operations.
