Borrow the day to change the day

() Zhong Jinwei became a little anxious, turned up the volume, and continued to shout: "Archie, are you there, Archie..." Before he finished shouting, Archie's handsome figure appeared in Zhong Jinwei's eyes.

Zhong Jinwei thought to himself: I was shocked, I thought you were not here.Ask Archie, "Did you walk away just now?"

Archie walked over in small steps, but his face was red, and he gave Zhong Jinwei a weird look, and said in a low voice: "I haven't married you yet, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law is shouting so loudly, you want to shame me to death !"

Zhong Jinwei smirked twice with "hehe" and didn't talk back. Looking at Archie's shy expression, he felt beautiful in his heart.

"Young master, what's the matter calling slave's house?"

"It's nothing, I just miss you." Zhong Jinwei was quite dull in his previous life, but now his mouth is really sweet. It seems that he read too many online novels and was affected.

When Zhong Jinwei said this, Archie's face that had just faded turned red again.

** There is also a limit. Zhong Jinwei still remembered that he had business to do, so he said to Archie: "Bring the four treasures of the study, I said, you write, and write a memorial to the emperor."

Archie nodded obediently, without asking any questions, went to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, and set them aside.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Archie's slender hands, pinching the ink column and grinding the ink gracefully, thinking about what he just said to Emperor Chongzhen in his mind.

When Archie finished his preparations, he was ready to speak, but unexpectedly Archie spoke first: "My lord, I don't know the format of the memorial."

Oh, and the format, I don’t know either, so I said to Archie indifferently: “It’s okay, no matter the format, I said, you can write it.”

Archie nodded, indicating that everything was ready.

So, Zhong Jinwei started talking, but Archie still didn't think about it, so Zhong Jinwei asked Archie with his eyes.

"Young master, you, this is in plain language, can you write it?"

"It's okay, just write it."

So, one spoke, the other wrote, and then checked with Zhong Jinwei after writing.

First of all, Archie's handwriting is very beautiful and beautiful, I like it.But it's awkward to write vertically, especially without punctuation marks, it's very dizzy to read.

Write vertically, this may not be possible, everyone writes like this at this time, others are used to it, but I am not used to it.But there is not even a punctuation mark, it cannot be tolerated.

"I'll teach you some punctuation marks, you add them, otherwise, you can't tell which sentence is which, so it's easy to misunderstand."

Archie blinked and looked at Zhong Jinwei: "Young Master, do you speak sentences? This is a basic skill!"

Zhong Jinwei blushed, but immediately retorted: "Then you don't understand the meaning of missing the article?"

Just now Archie didn't mean to laugh at Zhong Jinwei, he just said it naturally.Hearing Zhong Jinwei's rhetorical question, Archie nodded.

"So, it's time to add punctuation marks. Come on, let me teach you." Zhong Jinwei clapped his hands and came to a conclusion.

But Archie still blinked and looked at Zhong Jinwei with a strange expression: "Master, the punctuation marks you mentioned are to assist in punctuating sentences, and my family will also do it."

What, there are punctuation marks at this time?Zhong Jinwei felt incredible and asked, "You really know how?"

"Yeah, look, my lord, there are these types of symbols in the slave family, and other sisters like to use other ones." Archie explained to Zhong Jinwei seriously while tracing the symbols she said with a brush.

"Your symbols are still different?"

"Yeah, I can use whatever symbols I want in private, and I can't use these symbols just to write articles."

"You scare me. I thought there were punctuation marks now. Come on, I'll teach you a set of punctuation marks. It's easier than you guys to make the article understand and express clearly."

Zhong Jinwei likes to teach beautiful women, and Archie likes to let Zhong Jinwei teach them. The two got together and learned.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei began to teach Archie about the usage of punctuation marks.

Archie is talented and smart. Thinking about it, someone who can carve works on peach pits will not have a low IQ, and he quickly grasped the usage of punctuation marks.

Therefore, Archie added the punctuation marks he had just learned to the original memorial, and asked Zhong Jinwei to check that it was correct, and then copied a new copy.

After Archie finished copying, Zhong Jinwei asked Archie to write another memorial, which was about the meaning and usage of punctuation marks, which was attached to the first memorial, and planned to give advice to Emperor Chongzhen to promote the use of punctuation marks.

Just at this time, Wang Chengen sent Emperor Chongzhen to the place, and came back to see if the memorial was finished.

Zhong Jinwei gave the memorial to Wang Chengen, and then asked: "Old Wang, oh, Mr. Wang, I have something to ask you. I don't know if it's convenient or not."

Wang Chengen was about to leave, and turned back as soon as he heard the words: "Mr. Zhong, just speak up if you have something to say."

"Archie's family is in Tongzhou. I don't know what's going on now. Can you help me find out?"

Wang Chengen turned his head to look at Archie, who was also looking at him expectantly.

"It should be fine. Mr. Sun Ge has been watching in Tongzhou, and he just came back now. If you are worried, our family will ask the fan from Dongchang to go and have a look, but the address must be given to our family."

Archie hurried forward and told him the address of his home.

"Okay, wait for the good news from our family." Wang Chengen said to the two of them with a smile, and then left.

"My lord, thank you very much." After Archie finished speaking, he blessed himself gratefully.

"Don't be so polite, that's my mother-in-law and brother-in-law too." One sentence made Archie's face turn into a red apple.

Emperor Chongzhen came to the main hall and sat down, and passed on to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong's pace was still so steady, but he became thinner and thinner. When he got close, he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen: "See Your Majesty."

"Master Sun has worked hard, come here, give Master Sun a seat." Emperor Chongzhen knew that since Chengzong was ordered to come to the capital, he was already old, and he had been running around and doing his best, which was not easy.

After Sun Chengzong sat down, he reported straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the main force of Jianlu is heading towards Shanhaiguan. I have sent a large number of Ye Bushou to keep an eye on its movements, but I am still unable to pursue it."

"Is Shanhaiguan important?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen stood up involuntarily and asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have sent several groups of King Qin's army to help defend Shanhaiguan. Together with the original garrison, there are dangers in the world. In addition, Jianlu has lost the opportunity to sneak attack, so there is no possibility of Shanhaiguan falling."

Emperor Chongzhen was relieved when he heard that he was already prepared for Jianlu to attack Shanhaiguan, but he had doubts about the second half of Sun Chengzong's sentence: "Why can't we pursue it now?"

"Your Majesty, Jianlu's strength lies in field battles, while our army's strength lies in defending the city. If you pursue them, field battles are inevitable. If you use your own strengths to attack the other's strengths, the chances of victory are not great. If there is a loss, Jianlu will return to attack the capital. I'm afraid it's hard to keep it."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, knowing his own affairs.

"First of all, secondly, the king's troops from all walks of life came in a hurry, and there was a shortage of food, grass, and military equipment, and the soldiers were uneven, and they needed to replenish supplies and rectify the soldiers; .”

When Sun Chengzong said this, he paused slightly, and said loudly: "Thirdly, there are still King Qin's troops scattered in other parts of Gyeonggi that need to be contacted to coordinate and unify their actions."

"Master Sun, are there any other four?"

Sun Chengzong looked at the young Emperor Chongzhen and knew that the next words would hit his nails, so he deliberately lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, there are currently about 35 King Qin's army gathered in the capital, and those in some provinces farther away King Qin's army is still coming one after another, I don't know if there is enough food and pay for the army?"

Emperor Chongzhen had a headache for a while, and it was this problem again.After thinking for a while, he said to Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, please wait, I will pass the Minister of the Household Department over to ask."

Soon, Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came over. When he heard this question, he also had a headache: "Your Majesty, the minister estimated last time that only 30 troops can be used for a month. I wonder how long this war will last?"

This question obviously had to be answered by Sun Chengzong. He estimated it and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that there are at least four months before the Jianlu go back to harvest their own food and grass, and take into account the time spent on the road to plunder wealth and population and the time required to settle down. You can stay in the customs."

In this case, the grain, grass, and military pay are obviously not enough. Bi Ziyan looked helplessly at Emperor Chongzhen, remembered something, and said: "Your Majesty, the capital's rice grain has more than doubled compared with the previous days, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult to continue the army. needed."

Emperor Chongzhen sat down slowly, leaned his head weakly on the back of the imperial chair, frowned and thought: food, grass and military pay are not enough, so the only way to fight ahead is to drive away the Jian captives.But my own army is not enough to fight in the field, and if I really fight, I may not be wiped out by the opponent. What is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds?

After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to ask Sun Chengzong: "Does Master Sun have a good plan?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that you have to train elite soldiers. At present, the first priority is to rectify the army of the king, weed out the weak and retain the strong. One is to save food and military salaries, and the other is to strengthen the combat power."

When Bi Ziyan heard that it could save military supplies and reduce his pressure, he immediately seconded the proposal.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and this is the only way to do it at present, so he agreed to Sun Chengzong's proposal, but he was a little worried and told Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, you need to be more careful about the rectification. Inside the pass, my people are still suffering, and my heart is restless!"

"I will do my best!"

Alright, let's end the discussion here, and Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan left.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhong's memorial has been written." Wang Chengen came in and said when he saw that Emperor Chongzhen's discussion was over.

"Oh, quickly bring it here and show it to me." Emperor Chongzhen ordered immediately after hearing this.

However, Emperor Chongzhen felt very uncomfortable when he saw it. What are these messy symbols for?Very awkward.It is also the vernacular throughout the article, this is really the first time I have seen such a memorial.

Looking at Emperor Chongzhen's frown from below, Wang Chengen knew why.You said why he knew this, because he had peeked at Zhong Jinwei's memorial first.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhong still has a memorial to explain those icons."

"Oh, bring it here."

After Emperor Chongzhen read the explanation of punctuation marks, and then compared it with the previous memorial, it became clear at once.After reading it, he leaned on the back of the royal chair, but he no longer frowned, just thinking about it, and after a while, he asked, "Dear Companion, what do you think of this so-called punctuation mark?"
