Borrow the day to change the day

() In the main hall of worship, there are only Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, and there are no foreign ministers.

If there are foreign ministers, even if Emperor Chongzhen asks, they will not dare to express their opinions. Wei Zhongxian has just fallen, and the fate of eunuchs meddling in politics.

Wang Chengen thought for a while, and then reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I remember that when your majesty first came to the throne, there was an edict requesting the ministers to work: the chapters are too long to read, and in the future, the articles and chapters of each yamen must be concise and concise. Not more than a thousand, if the meaning of the words is not complete, you might as well play it again."

After a short pause, I expressed my opinion: "The servant girl thought that His Majesty's intention was to improve efficiency, but Mr. Guan Zhong's method made up for the mistake of punctuation. After all, ordinary people do not have the talent of His Majesty. It is a pity that when the officials understood His Majesty's intentions, they did something wrong because of a punctuation error."

Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen and nodded slightly, so he made his own conclusion: "Mr. Zhong's method is compatible with His Majesty's request. This is a little superficial opinion of slaves."

"Yes, my companion can see the beauty of Mr. Zhong's method at once." Emperor Chongzhen praised Wang Chengen with a smile, thought for a while, and said: "My companion will go to the Minister of Rites, Wen Tiren, to have an audience. If I want to promote this method, I have to Seek advice from the Minister of Rites."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen bowed and retreated.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the imperial chair, placed the two memorials side by side, and read them carefully again.A smile appeared on his face: Mr. Zhong, he has great talent, and he thinks one after another.But his literary talent, heh heh, he smiled and shook his head unconsciously, this is a plain language, it is impossible for Tongsheng to write such a memorial, if Tongsheng is qualified to write it.

Not long after, Wen Tiren, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was summoned to have an audience with him. Before coming here, he was still thinking about something. His Majesty has been very unhappy recently, so there will be no bad luck.

After arriving, I found that Emperor Chongzhen's face was stretched and slightly smiling, so I knew that nothing bad would happen.

Seeing Wen Tiren coming to see him, remembering the conversation between him and Zhong Jinwei, and the matter of rescuing him together, I couldn't help thinking of joking with Wen Tiren: "Do you know why Zhen Chuanqing came here?"

It must not be related to the administration of officials, the construction of captives, and Qin Wangjun. It is impossible for the Holy Majesty to smile about these matters.So what's the matter, what made His Majesty happy, and I didn't hear any happy event in the court.

Wen Tiren thought about it again and sorted out the possibilities.Suddenly it occurred to him that Zhong Jinwei had woken up, and it happened to be related to him, so he let himself come here.

"Your Majesty, is Zhong Jinwei awake?" Wen Tiren asked tentatively.

"Hehe, Aiqing is really smart, and she guessed half right." Emperor Chongzhen smiled and praised Wen Tiren, and then continued: "Mr. Zhong not only woke up, but also gave me two ideas, one of which involves the Ministry of Rites. , so I heard you come over to discuss and discuss."

Oh, this kid actually woke up, yes, the old man should be able to have more allies in the future.

"I don't know what the idea is, Your Majesty, can you let me take a look." Wen Tiren bowed.

Wang Chengen has been standing aside and watching the conversation between the monarch and his ministers. He is also happy that Emperor Chongzhen is in a good mood now. It is rare for the master to smile!

Before he finished sighing, he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, hurriedly went forward to take a memorial, and passed it to Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren was very curious, wondering what kind of outlandish idea that strange Zhong Jinwei would come up with.When I opened the memorial, I saw lines of beautiful fonts jumping into my eyes, I couldn't help being stunned, how could the characters be written like a woman's.But he immediately came to his senses: Zhong Jinwei's writing was seen on the so-called blackboard at the beginning, how could the ugly font be compared with this, it should be written by his maid.

Wen Tiren looked at the specific content, and immediately found that it was some symbols used to punctuate the sentence of the relevant article. There are different symbols to distinguish the end of the sentence, questions, associations, etc.

To be honest, he himself disdains to use these things. Sentencing is the basic skill of scholars since ancient times.But what His Majesty meant was that he valued these things more and wanted to promote them, otherwise he wouldn't have asked himself to come.

After thinking about it, there are indeed some misunderstandings caused by sentence segmentation, or deliberate misunderstandings to achieve one's own goals, such as the sentence segmentation of the words of the sages, which are all pronounced in a way that is beneficial to oneself.If there is a set of symbols to standardize, it may reduce a lot of ambiguity. It seems that it is necessary to promote it.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren put together the memorial, then bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Mr. Zhong's set of symbols is used to convey official documents or important matters, and can ensure the correct transmission of meaning. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to implement This method."

Hey, without Emperor Chongzhen opening his mouth, Wen Tiren spoke out his thoughts first, what a genius.Wang Chengen thought on the side.

"So, your Ministry of Rites has agreed to promote this set of punctuation marks?" Emperor Chongzhen confirmed.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wen Tiren thought, this set of things has no vital interests for everyone, and it is not difficult to promote it.

"Okay, I will leave this matter to you. After the promotion, official content such as memorials and official documents, including notices, must use this set of punctuation marks. As for folk poems, songs, Fu articles, etc., there is no need to require it." Emperor Chongzhen Seeing that Wen Tiren confirmed that he had no objection, he told him about the matter.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wen Tiren cupped his hands.

After giving this order, Emperor Chongzhen looked down at the remaining memorial on the imperial table, and did not speak for a while.

Wen Tiren waited for a while, but didn't realize that Emperor Chongzhen had any intention of showing him the remaining Zhong Jinwei's idea, so he wanted to resign.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen raised his head and said, "I think Aiqing should have seen all the things these days, what do you think?"

Wen Tiren was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he wanted to show the second idea, but he didn't expect to ask for his opinion on the past few days.He bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, I think that what Mr. Zhong said can be summed up in one sentence."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he became interested and seemed more concerned.

"It's Yue Wumu's famous saying: civil servants don't love money, and generals don't hesitate to die. Then what happened a few days ago can never happen."

That's right, my civil servants don't love money, and if the generals don't hesitate to die, then Jianlu is still rampant.Emperor Chongzhen sighed inwardly.

But just sighing is useless, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wen Tiren, "Does Aiqing have a good plan?"

"I believe that those in high positions should set an example and follow suit. They should also advocate a clean government, suppress corruption, promote promising officials, strictly enforce the law, and play the role of the Inspectorate. It will get better."

Emperor Chongzhen was slightly disappointed, as expected, but also unexpected.That's to be expected because most of the talk is rehash, and that's what everyone says.Unexpectedly, it means that those in high positions should lead by example and guide the atmosphere of integrity.None of the other ministers dared to speak.

"Aiqing lives in a poor life, and she is an honest and honest minister. I am very relieved. I have not rewarded you for your contribution to saving my family before. This time, Mr. Zhong has woken up and recommended a few people to me. I am very satisfied and gave me another I came up with two strategies, and I want to reward them together." Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said to Wen Tiren with a smile.

"I dare not be rewarded for the duty of a minister."

"I want you to join the cabinet and assist me in the administration of officials. How about it?"

Joining the cabinet is the ultimate goal of every civil servant, and only after joining the cabinet can one hope to become the top leader of the cabinet. At that time, even if one is under one person and over ten thousand people, one's political ambitions can be displayed.Thinking of this, Wen Tiren bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is the duty of ministers to share the king's worries, but cabinet ministers follow the rules and need to be pushed by the court."

"Aiqing doesn't need to be careful about this. Aiqing has a great advantage. I use this to promote Aiqing to the cabinet. Forgive them and they have nothing to say." Emperor Chongzhen said confidently.

Wen Tiren saw that the Holy Majesty said so, so he no longer declined, suddenly remembered something, and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to announce the origin of the award to Mr. Zhong just now?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "I have discussed this with Mr. Zhong. He said that he is a descendant of the Song Dynasty. He came from overseas and came back specially because of thinking about his homeland."

"But how did you come to the palace, so you got the merit of saving your family?" Wen Tiren still had a problem.

"Oh, this, I haven't thought about it, does Ai Qing have any ideas?"

Wen Tiren didn't think about it carefully, and played: "Your Majesty, Chen Lu met Mr. Zhong who came to the capital admiringly. After talking with him, he learned that he had a wide range of knowledge, so he introduced him to His Majesty. Therefore, when he arrived in the palace, he happened to be assassinated by an assassin, so he was rescued." I don’t know if it’s possible for the merit of driving?”

"Haha, what Aiqing said is justified, and it is true!" Emperor Chongzhen laughed when he heard this, and when he said this, everything became round.

Emperor Chongzhen solved another matter and was in a good mood. When he saw the memorial on the imperial table, he said casually: "Mr. Zhong has another strategy. Ai Qing will also read it and see what he thinks." Transfer it to Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren thought, what idea did Zhong Jinwei come up with? According to the meaning of the Holy Majesty, this memorial should be more important. If the conversation was not happy before, maybe I still can't see it.Thinking of this, I couldn't help being a little curious.

At first glance, under the memorial, I feel the same as Emperor Chongzhen. The whole memorial is full of vernacular, which is very contemptuous.But for the content, the more you look at it, the more serious it is, the more serious it is.

Although the vernacular has no literary skills at all, the advantage is that it is straightforward, and with the help of punctuation marks, the meaning of the whole article is clear at a glance, and there will be no misunderstanding.

The most important thing is the content inside, which is deafening and refreshing.

Since ancient times, the relationship between monarchs and generals has always been for defense, and defense is more important than use. As a result, when foreign enemies invade, the abilities of generals cannot be fully utilized, and the war is corrupted.This strategy uses the means of monitoring the generals to the soldiers and military supplies, pinches the lifeline of the generals but does not restrict the performance of the generals, and has layers of supervision and mutual supervision to prevent their corruption.Wonderful!Wonderful!

However, right away, he realized that there was still a big flaw in this memorial.Immediately, I wanted to raise it with Emperor Chongzhen, but felt that something was wrong, and I was in a dilemma for a while.
