Qin Mo, who had bullied the old man, did not feel guilty at all. He left the directorate in a good mood.
"Spring is not a good time to study, but summer is a good time to sleep. Autumn is cool and winter is coming again. If you want to study, wait until next year.”
Qin Mo recited a limerick that had been circulating on the internet in the future as he sat in his four-wheeled carriage and rushed to Qin Manor.
Today, when he was studying at the directorate, Qin Mo remembered that there was something that he had to invent as soon as possible.
That was the chair.
Tang Chao didn't have any chairs at this time. He sat on stools.
When they ate, they would kneel down and eat with a small table in front of them, just like the Japanese in the future.
Of course, these were all passed down from the Tang Dynasty to the Japanese. The Japanese felt that it was good and never changed, which also caused most of the Japanese women in the future to be bow-legged.
He had been busy with other things for the past few days and had put the invention of the chair to the back of his mind.
Actually, it was not an invention, because chairs already existed in this world. It was just that they had not been introduced to the Great Tang.
Qin Mo was caught by Old Qin the moment he sneaked back to Qin Manor.
"Dalang, are you skipping class?"
Tang Chao's morning court session was at seven o'clock in the morning. There was nothing important today, so the court session ended early.
The Tang Dynasty treated officials better. After the court session ended, the court took care of the food and called it the food under the corridor. After eating, they returned to their respective yamen offices.
There were not many things to do in the military, and Old Qin's health was not good. The chores in the military were handed over to his subordinates to take care of. The food in the corridor could not compare to the food in Qin Manor, so Old Qin came back early.
Old Qin said that Qin Mo skipped classes because the directorate had other classes.
The Imperial College had courses such as rites, music, temperament, archery, driving, calligraphy, and mathematics. In other words, besides Old Kong's lectures, there were other subjects.
Since Qin Mo came back so early, he definitely hadn't finished.
Qin Mo smiled and said to Old Qin," Clan Uncle, please excuse me. I was entrusted by Chancellor Kong to solve the difficult problem of the method of phrasing sentences, so I don't have to go to class for the time being.”
Then, he briefly explained the matter of sentence breaks.
Old Qin frowned when he heard this. Even as a martial artist, he knew the seriousness of this problem.
It was not just a matter of the Sage's writings, but also a matter of government decrees and military orders. If someone deliberately misinterpreted it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hence, Old Qin took a puff of his cigarette and puffed out a cloud of smoke. He said with a solemn expression," This matter concerns the country. You must resolve it seriously. You must not be careless at all.”
Qin Mo looked at Old Qin smoking and couldn't help but be speechless. This scene looked a little out of place, just like how actors smoked during breaks in modern times when they were filming period dramas.
If Old Qin got addicted to smoking and died young, he would be finished.
As his thoughts ran wild, he replied seriously," I'll be fine. Don't worry, uncle."”
To Qin Mo, who came from the 21st century, it was extremely easy to break sentences. All he needed to do was to figure out the punctuations.
Qin Mo graduated from medicine and had long forgotten about literature. But it didn't matter. He had a computer with him. He could just go online and find out.
Punctuation wasn't anything complicated.
"Do you have cigarettes? Give me a little."
It was over. Old Qin was addicted to smoking.
Qin Mo's head was filled with black lines." There's still some tobacco. Uncle, do you smoke a water pipe?”
Hence, Qin Mo brought a bamboo pipe over and squatted on the ground to smoke with Old Qin.
Old Kong, who was frightened by Qin Mo, also went to the Purple Mansion Hall to see Li Er in a daze.
The Purple Mansion Hall was where Li Er worked after the court session.
When Old Kong saw Li Er, he shouted," Your Majesty, something bad has happened.”
Li Er was shocked by Old Kong. This old man had always been calm and unfazed. Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, his expression would not change. Now that he was so panicked, he was afraid that something big had really happened.
Li Er, who had just killed his brother and ascended the throne, felt that someone was trying to harm me.
Hence, he hurriedly asked," Kong Qing, what happened? Why are you so flustered?”
Old Kong then told him about the sentence interruption and the terrifying situation that Qin Mo had described.
Li Er also frowned when he heard this. There were actually five ways to break a sentence. If it was used by someone with ill intentions, the consequences could be foreseen.
You said that no one would dare to misinterpret the Emperor's decree?
It did not exist. The Guanlong family and the Shandong aristocratic families did not put Li Er in their eyes. If they were given an opportunity, they would definitely not let go of any opportunity.
This was especially true for the Shandong aristocrats. Li Er wanted to marry a woman from the Shandong aristocrats, but those people actually looked down on Li Er and despised his impure bloodline.
Li Er said," This has happened since ancient times. I never thought that there would be such serious consequences.”
Because there were no punctuations, a sentence could be interpreted in many ways. Different people often had different opinions, and there were even cases where they turned against each other.
However, the consequences were not as serious as Qin Mo had described. Otherwise, why did Li Er not notice it?
However, in order not to attend classes, Qin Mo was also going all out.
However, it wasn't just because he didn't want to attend class. He had to bring out punctuations sooner or later. It was just a coincidence that he brought them out now.
Punctuation was a waste of time and energy. After taking out the punctuations, it could save a lot of energy for scholars.
As for those boring scholars who took pleasure in paraphrasing, Qin Mo did not care about them. He would just let them die.
However, Li Er was indeed frightened. Unlike Old Kong, who was concerned about the words of the sage, as the emperor, he imagined that someone was using the broken sentences to make an issue out of it.
The aristocrats used this loophole to exploit the people, and the generals used this loophole to shake the foundation of the Great Tang's rule.
He seemed to have seen the Great Tang fall into trouble because of this, but he could not think of a way to resolve it. He looked at Kong Yingda." Kong Qing, can you resolve this?”
Old Kong shook his head and said," I'm ashamed. There's nothing I can do.”
““”
"Xuanfang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Zhangsun Wuji are here to discuss matters.”
Li Er, who was frightened, called his strongest think tank.
