Chapter 229 Punctuation marks on the report
"It's okay, it's just that the memorial I wrote was separated by some symbols, and I don't know if the Holy One understands it or not." Only then did Li Chongyuan realize that he was in his family.

Just like Li Chongyuan's state.

It's not uncommon in Lizhuang.

This sudden change in my family exposed my bad habits.

"?"

At this time, a big question mark flashed in the minds of the old lady and Li Chongji.

perhaps.

In their minds, there is no question mark at all.

Li Chongyuan didn't want to explain too much, so he just let it go with a haha.

As for punctuation marks, Li Chongyuan is really hard to elaborate.

If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being too careless, forgetting that this memorial is for today's sage, not for yourself.

in fact.

In this era, some texts, at the beginning and at the end, will use a certain word, or some kind of words to represent the beginning and the end.

In the Song Dynasty, there began to be circles similar to full stops, or similar to commas, or similar to commas.

but.

Such punctuation marks only exist in the scholars' own manuscripts or volumes.

As for the Zoushu Zoubao, or official documents and books, it is impossible for such symbols to exist.

The night passed.

Li Chongyuan got up before dawn.

Put on his blue and purple official uniform, and some ornaments that gave Li Chongyuan a headache.

After Li Chongyuan was helped by a maid, the door of the house was already pushed open, "Fourth brother, it's time to go, otherwise, it will be difficult to enter the palace."

The person who came was of course Li Chongyuan's elder brother Li Chongji.

"Okay, I'll go now." Li Chongyuan straightened his official uniform, and then ignored the maid who wanted to help him tidy up his clothes, and stepped out the door.

It was a cold morning in winter.

Outside of Miyagi, it was already overcrowded.

When Li Chongyuan looked at the officials, he remembered that today is November [-]th, which happens to be the day of the Great Court Conference.

Li Chongji led Li Chongyuan to the front.

After a while, they passed through the officials and arrived at Miyagi, "Fourth brother, follow me, we will enter the palace first."

Li Chongyuan knew in his heart that his elder brother was afraid that he would be the last to enter the palace wearing this eighth-rank official uniform, so he said this.

originally.

Li Chongyuan really wanted to wear the clothes of his county baron.

But after all, Li Chongyuan had already been conferred the post of county lieutenant in Hu County, so he was still an official of the eighth rank.

and.

Li Chongyuan's county men's clothes are still in the county man's mansion.

On the contrary, the official uniform is in the family.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan can only wear this set of official uniforms to court.

After a while, Li Chongji took his fourth younger brother and went through layers of investigation before entering the palace and outside the court hall.

Soon again.

The officials who were due to arrive were also present, and even the square outside the hall was full of officials in Beijing.

After the current sage Li Shimin came to court.

Just like last time.

From state affairs, to some trivial matters.

Li Chongyuan was like a soy saucer, standing on the left side of the steps outside the court hall, yawning all the time.

As a small eight-rank county lieutenant, in terms of rank, he is really not qualified to enter the court.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan could only stand outside the court hall, blowing the cold wind.

Nearly two hours later.

Just when Li Chongyuan was drowsy, someone pushed him suddenly and made Li Chongyuan stagger, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Li Xiannan and Li County Lieutenant, the court has already dispersed, and the Holy Majesty asked you to stay." A servant stood beside Li Chongyuan, reminding him in a low voice.

After Li Chongyuan reacted, he looked around.

Before I fell asleep, there were quite a few officials around.

But at this time, none of them were seen.

Seeing this situation, Li Chongyuan was also a little dumbfounded, and muttered, "I'm going, I'm leaving too fast, there is no movement at all."

After entering the palace, Li Chongyuan found that the officials above rank five were still there.

Just now Li Chongyuan thought that the Holy Majesty would leave him alone.

Unexpectedly, there are so many officials here.

"My subject, Li Chongyuan, has seen the Holy One." As soon as Li Chongyuan entered the hall, he hurriedly bowed to the Holy Majesty Li Shimin who was on the throne.

Seeing Li Chongyuan approaching, Li Shimin smiled, "Chongyuan, come here and talk."

Li Chongyuan was a little baffled, looked at his elder brother in the distance, and saw that he didn't signal to him, so he had to walk forward.

When Li Chongyuan came to the front, he was almost on the same line with the princes.

But at this time, the crown prince Li Chengqian, who had already lifted the foot restraint order, smiled at Li Chongyuan, making Li Chongyuan's hairs stand on end.

Li Tai also smiled at Li Chongyuan at this time, and even grunted at Li Chongyuan on purpose.

As for Li Ke, on the contrary, he was the quietest one, neither looking at Li Chongyuan nor expressing anything to Li Chongyuan.

Just when Li Chongyuan was thinking about these princes, Li Shimin asked with a memorial in his hand: "Chongyuan, this is your memorial, I have read it yesterday. I have some doubts in my heart, what about your memorial?" What do the dots in the book mean?"

Li Shimin's question was exactly what Li Chongyuan was worried about yesterday.

"Returning to the Holy One, the dots in the memorandum are used by the minister to break up sentences." Li Chongyuan replied carefully.

Li Shimin smiled after hearing this, "I see. Yesterday I thought that these dots might be the ones you used to punctuate sentences. That's right. Do these dots have names? What do you say?"

"I'm just using my own habit to break sentences, just like this comma means to stop; or this period is used to end what I just said." Li Chongyuan dared not hold back, and hurried to the Holy Majesty, And everyone present began to talk about a few punctuation marks.

With Li Chongyuan's explanation.

Whether it was Li Shimin, the sage, or the civil servants and generals present, they all looked sideways at Li Chongyuan.

What's more, I was still thinking about the purpose of punctuation that Li Chongyuan just said.

and.

Li Shimin has already reopened Li Chongyuan's memorial, and examined it again.

"Not bad, not bad, really good. That's true. It seems that your so-called punctuation marks are very useful. In the future, if you write official documents like this, it will also make people read more smoothly." Li Shimin finished his examination. Finally, he got up and said three good things in a row.

And this time.

Kong Yu and Kong Er, who lived behind the Duke of the State, suddenly came out, arched his hands towards Li Shimin and said, "My lord, I heard what you said just now. There are punctuation marks used to break sentences in the memorandum in your hand, don't you?" Do you know if the Holy Majesty can let the minister take a look?"

Punctuation marks for sentence punctuation.

For Kong Yu, whether it is useful or not, it is used correctly.

In his Kong Yu's cognition, this is not something that can be created by people expelled from his Guozijian, let alone a farmer like Li Chongyuan.

In Kong Yu's heart.

The punctuation marks used for sentence punctuation can only be created by scholars, not just any cat or dog.
