Chapter 138 The little emperor who challenges the big-eared thief
Punctuation marks were invented by Zhi Jinwu and used in public school textbooks. Because of their convenience and practicality, they were accepted by both the government and the public as soon as they were introduced.
Zhou Zhong followed his habit of breaking up sentences and marked them with commas and periods, but there were no books in the palace.
Soon, Yuan Ji realized that Liu Bei was sophistry or sophistry.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother! No matter whether there are punctuation marks or not, the meaning of the words written by the saint written by Guang Luxun is not wrong. It would be too picky to insist on it."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Zhong was able to lower his blood pressure and said again: "What the Master said is exactly what I meant."
Emperor Guangxi nodded and said: "Yuan Qing and Zhou Qing, what you said makes sense."
Liu Bei couldn't help but chuckle to himself, this little emperor was too young to try to pull off a side.
"I cannot agree with what Grand Tutor Guang Luxun said. Especially, this is contrary to the intention of the saint!"
"Shu Zi, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhou Zhong's blood pressure soared again. He pointed at his handwriting and asked, "How can you, a fool like you, understand the words of a saint?"
Liu Bei snorted, picked up his pen again, and added a comma after "the people can make it", another comma after "can't make it", and finally, added a dot to Zhou Zhong's comma.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zuo, to read it once."
Zuo Feng was also knowledgeable. After a quick glance, he was greatly surprised. This was like having the Midas touch of gold.
However, he immediately read aloud: "If the people can do it, let it be done; if they can't do it, know it."
All the ministers in the hall, except He Jin, were all senior intellectuals who had read poetry and books. After listening to Zuo Feng's reading, he immediately made a judgment.
Zhou Zhong’s cognition is completely different from Liu Bei’s.
It can even be said that Liu Bei's sentence fragmentation is more in line with the reputation of a saint.
Before they could digest and understand, Liu Bei picked up the pen and wrote some punctuation marks on the paper.
"I'll trouble you, Mr. Zuo, to read it again."
Zuo Feng understood the idea and recited it again: "If the people can do it, let them do it; if they can't, let them know it."
Wow!
All the ministers, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were in an uproar.
Yuan Ji, Zhou Zhong, Yang Biao and others were even more upset. They looked at the punctuation marks on the white paper and felt horrified.
This sentence completely reverses the priorities, and the meaning it contains completely breaks the cognition of the times.
Lu Zhi was also greatly shocked. He is really a monster!
In the silence, the grand master stood up and asked calmly: "Who taught these?"
"What the sage said will be understood by the disciples."
Lu Zhi nodded and asked: "What did the sage say to realize this?"
"'There is no distinction between education' and 'the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important'."
Lu Zhi was silent, whether he admitted it or not, the disciple was right this time.
The hall was silent again.
Liu Bei once again raised his hand and said: "If we don't show kindness and enlightenment, the ignorant people will always be ignorant people. How can the emperor's court replace the herdsmen?"
If it beeps again, replace it!
Queen Mother He's heart skipped a beat. Compared with power, the exchange's gains were nothing.
Besides, it’s almost noon, so hurry up and finish your work so that everyone can get off work and celebrate the holidays.
"What the emperor uncle said is true, and what he played is accurate!"
After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong immediately said: "As soon as I have this memorial, I will withdraw from the court without incident."
"My lord, I have something to do."
When everyone looked around, it was Zhi Jinwu again.
The queen mother sighed, the emperor's uncle is really a good person.
"Uncle Emperor, please speak."
"I heard that a Marquis of Jinmen was detained and sent to prison last night. Why? What crime?"
The Queen Mother unconsciously glanced at her son, and Liu Bian blushed.
The five gates were detained for investigation, involving the Queen Mother, the Emperor, Zhang Xi, Zhou Zhong and Cui Lie.
The other four princes are guilty of dereliction of duty, but Tai Shici, the prince of Jinmen, is guilty of "great disrespect". This crime can be big or small, all depends on the will of the superiors.
Cui Lie frowned. He didn't expect that Jinmenmenhou was actually related to Zhijinwu. Since the other party asked, he had to answer.
"The Marquis of Jinmen, Taishi Ci, despised the emperor and committed a crime of gross disrespect. He has been dismissed from his post and investigated."
Liu Bei was stunned, but he asked in confusion: "Oh, when and where did Taishi Ci despise the emperor? Is there any physical evidence?"
Cui Lie was a little confused. The eunuch said this crime, and he had not had time to interrogate him before he went to court early in the morning.
At this time, Liu Bian became uneasy. If he continued to ask questions, what happened last night would be made public.
He glanced at Xiaohuangmen Hu Kan, who had followed him out of the palace last night.
Hu Kan understood his master's intention and immediately said: "Taishi Ciping often makes wild and arrogant remarks, harbors resentment, and accepts bribes. The evidence of his crimes will be made later."
Liu Bei stared at Hu Kan and asked sternly: "More details? In other words, there is no evidence to prove that Tai Shici is guilty, right?"
Hu Kan was stared at by Liu Bei and immediately stuttered, unable to explain why.
Liu Bei turned to Cui Lie again and asked: "There is no evidence or evidence. Is this how Ting Wei handled the case?"
Cui Lie was also angry about it. It seemed that the little emperor was causing trouble, but as a king is like his father, he had to take the blame himself.
"Tai Shici is just a suspect and has not been convicted yet. I will try him impartially."
Liu Bei is unyielding and must rescue Tai Shici today.
"I didn't ask Tingwei whether the trial was fair, but I asked you why you detained innocent officials? Or who asked you to arrest people?"
Facing Liu Bei's pressing steps, the Queen Mother frowned, feeling something was wrong.
At this time, Liu Bian knew that Cui Lie would definitely not be able to hold on if he didn't come forward to suppress him.
The little emperor suddenly stood up, stared at Liu Bei and said, "It's my intention to arrest him. I say he is disrespectful, can't you?"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "No matter what His Majesty says, we must do it?"
Liu Bian said with a hint of sarcasm: "Why not? Of course, if you are not a loyal minister, you don't have to take my words to heart. What do I think?"
The ministers didn't know what to say for a while. They didn't agree or refute. They could only watch Zhi Jinwu fighting alone.
Liu Bei laughed loudly and said: "Then, does your Majesty remember the late emperor's last order?"
All the ministers were stunned. Before his death, Emperor Ling wanted to make Liu Xie the crown prince, but almost all the ministers opposed it.
According to Liu Bian, none of them are loyal ministers.

Empress Dowager He secretly thought that it was not good, her son was really stupid, who was not easy to offend, but why would she offend this uncle who had never been defeated before?
"Bian'er, you should pay attention to your appearance and don't sit down yet!"
After training her son, the Queen Mother comforted Liu Bei with Xini.
"The emperor is young and his words are inappropriate. It is all my fault. Please don't worry, uncle. Cui Qing, if there is no real evidence, please return the innocence of Jinmen as soon as possible."
Cui Lie immediately bowed and accepted the order: "I will do it now."
Liu Bei turned to the Queen Mother He and bowed and saluted: "There is no wiser person than the Queen Mother. I am grateful to the people of the Han Dynasty!"
After getting up, he handed a stack of unsigned files to Zuo Feng.
After winning both battles, I will give up when I see the opportunity.
As for the unconvinced look in the little emperor's eyes, who cares?
Queen Mother He opened the unnamed file and browsed for a while, her face turned red to the root of her neck with embarrassment.
He also has a comprehensive understanding of the whole story of his son's anger and Taishi's kindness.
This useless bastard!
I have worked hard and worked hard to get you to sit on the throne of the emperor. Is this how you repay me?
"Please ask the emperor to kneel in front of the late emperor's memorial tablet until he admits his mistake!"
A servant helped Liu Bian to the ancestral temple to kneel down as punishment.
Xiaohuangmen Hu Kan’s face turned pale, holding Jinwu’s dossier must be related to what happened last night.
Now that the emperor is being punished, can I still feel better?
"Plop!"
Hu Kan fell to his knees and said, "Queen Mother, please forgive me! I will never dare to do this again!"
Queen Mother He said coldly: "Send him to Wenling."
Although Zhao Zhong couldn't bear it, he still waved his hand, and two armed eunuchs rushed up like wolves and tigers and dragged Hu Kan out.
"Spare... my life, slave... I dare not..."
Kneeling in front of his father's memorial tablet, Liu Bian still swore angrily secretly.
