Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 69
Following Eunuch Huang, he arrived at the Lizheng Hall. His Majesty Li Er had just changed his court clothes, and was eating with a bowl in his hand. Empress Changsun was also there.

Wei Chi went in to salute, gave him a seat, and took a look. What His Majesty Li Er ate was the tomato he sent, peeled and mixed with sugar. It was a very common way to eat. Of course, it was also taught by Wei Chi.

His Majesty Li Er said: "This tomato... tastes really good, and the way to eat it is also fresh. You kid, there are many people who know how to play with these things."

Wei Chi scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know. When I was a child, my family was poor and I was greedy. My mother was skillful and loved me, so she gave me some snacks to coax me. I learned many things from my mother." of."

Empress Changsun said: "No wonder you were able to do this at such a young age. I think it's been a difficult time, and it's hard for you."

Empress Changsun's dignified and kind face made Wei Jia a little uncomfortable, so he could only giggle.In other words, his actual age is 27, and the eldest grandson empress is only 34 at this time. For such a young person, it is a bit embarrassing for him to speak to him in the tone of a deputy elder.In modern times, for a woman of this age, he would call her elder sister, but now he dare not call elder sister to the eldest grandson queen, unless it is too late.

His Majesty Li Er put down the bowl, and said: "I called you here today, there are three things. The first is your word! Learning takes a long time to accumulate, and I will not force you. You will find someone by yourself." The secretary you said is fine, but for your calligraphy, my Tang Dynasty stipulates that all officials above the fifth grade must learn calligraphy. The imperial examination must have four talents, and Mingshu is one of them. Now you have been promoted by me personally A fourth-rank official, you can't embarrass me, this calligraphy, you have to practice hard."

As soon as Wei Jia heard that he was going to practice calligraphy, his face immediately became bitter. He looked at His Majesty Li Er and asked pitifully: "Your Majesty, can you remove the fourth-rank official who has just been promoted? I don't have much ambition. A sixth-rank petty official is enough."

"Bullshit!"

His Majesty Li Er stared, and said angrily: "What do you think is my imperial decree? How can you be kidding me! I have decided that from today on, you will practice calligraphy with my princes and princesses. My son-in-law heard that you will It's a pleasure to practice calligraphy with you."

Wei Chi doesn't want to live anymore, he is quite old and wants to learn calligraphy with a [-]-year-old girl, let him die.

"...Your Majesty, I want to retire and return to my hometown. I want to go home to farm and contribute to the agriculture of the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Zhi was inexplicably sad and angry, his tone of voice and expression were comparable to a martyr about to go to the execution ground.

His Majesty Li Er glared at him, but Empress Changsun smiled, as if she understood why the children in the palace liked to be with Wei Jia.

"Nonsense! How old are you! You are a handsome man, and you have become like this after such a little difficulty. From now on, how will you take on the heavy responsibility I have given you!"

"Your Majesty, if you are single and weak, you can't afford it, so why don't you give any heavy responsibility, lest you ruin your majesty's reputation for discerning talents, because your majesty is implicated by your own incompetence, that's not good, yes Bar?"

"..."

His Majesty Li Er was speechless for a while, glared at Wei Chi, and said: "This matter is settled like this. I am Your Majesty, and what I say is the imperial decree. You have to listen to it if you want to, and you have to listen to it if you don't want to."

Wei Zhi lowered his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, Yasheng said that tyranny is fiercer than a tiger."

"..."

His Majesty Li Er was speechless again, stretched out his dragon feet, and kicked over. Wei Jia who kicked him giggled for a while, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I can write, but I don't know how to use a brush. Don't believe me, Your Majesty." You can bring some paper, and I will write it to His Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, and asked the servant to come over with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Wei Chi carefully took out the baby quill pen from his arms, tapped the ink, and was about to start writing while grabbing the quill pen. The tip of the quill pen even touched the paper. After getting up, he asked with a confused face: "Your Majesty, what do you want to write?"

Empress Changsun laughed, and His Majesty Li Er became angry and said angrily: "What are you writing! Let you write."

"Oh." Wei Chi nodded honestly, with a beautiful Song style running script, he wrote two large characters on the paper: writing.

"Wei Chi, you dare to tease me!" His Majesty Li Er roared, and Wei Chi hugged his head: "No, no, Your Majesty, how dare I! It's just that Your Majesty is too impatient to think out."

"Re-write! Write a few more words, how about this, with your knowledge, it would be difficult for you to write a longer article, so write a poem."

His Majesty Li Er's words made Wei Jia dumbfounded. With his Chinese level, writing poems...would it be too embarrassing? !

Glancing at His Majesty Li Er's expression, it seemed that there was no possibility of discussion. He bit his feather and thought for a long time, then remembered a poem he liked very much before, and wrote it down.After finishing writing, I said silently in my heart, I'm sorry, Bachelor Dongpo, you are going to become a relative of my family.

His Majesty Li Er picked it up and looked at it with Empress Changsun. While watching, he read: "'If there is a sound on the Ruoyan Qin, why don't you put it in the box? If the sound is on your finger, why not listen to it on your finger? 'Well, poems are good poems. The characters are written in running script, but they are different from today's running script. The brushwork is more round and beautiful. How about the empress?"

Empress Changsun looked at it, and said with a smile: "Ziyue's handwriting is just like his own, vigorous, unrestrained and elegant, and written with goose feathers, it is also a family of its own. It seems that the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" a few days ago "The manuscript of the book was indeed written by him himself."

Feelings are thought to be written by someone else, it's a waste of hard work for him.Wei Jia rolled his eyes violently in his heart, and quickly explained: "Go back to your mother, my family is poor, and I can't afford a writing brush. Overseas, writing brushes can only be enjoyed by wealthy families. As a poor child, I can only use brushes." Written with goose feathers."

"I see. I like this poem very much. Ziyue, who wrote this poem?"

"Your Majesty is wise, hehe, I know that Yichen's knowledge cannot be written. This poem was written by a relative of the minister. I liked it very much, so I memorized it. Your Majesty asked me to write a poem, but I didn't know how to write it, so I had to borrow it from others. "

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard, and said: "The handwriting is so-so, although the pen is weird, but for the sake of the empress's liking for this poem, you pass the test, that's all, so you don't have to practice calligraphy."

Wei Chi was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Hmph, if you don't practice calligraphy, I will be wise. Letting you practice calligraphy means that the government is more tyrannical than a tiger. Wei Zi likes you, a slippery boy. Tell me, what do these symbols mean?"

His Majesty Li Er scolded, Wei Chi laughed, looked up, and saw that His Majesty Li Er was pointing at the punctuation marks he used habitually, and patted his forehead, he was used to killing people, so he wrote it out smoothly: "Your Majesty, this is called punctuation."

"Punctuation?! What do you mean? How do you use it? I saw that you used it in the manuscript you wrote earlier, and I have never understood its meaning. Now you can explain it to me in detail."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Zhi immediately explained the function and meaning of punctuation marks, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that a person's life is short, and the best time to learn is when he is young, when his thoughts are easy to concentrate, his mind is simple, and he is easy to accept knowledge. Literacy, It takes a lot of time to understand the meaning of the article, and it seems uneconomical to spend time on hyphenation. And people are different. The same article may interpret different meanings because of different hyphenations. Come on, but it’s different with punctuation marks. There are certain norms and standards for the use of punctuation marks.
