Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

When Li Ke asked people to take out the things, the ministers looked at the pendulum that was constantly swinging, the twelve numbers on the dial, and the five dots between each number, and a pointer was swinging with the pendulum below. Once, it just happened to walk through one frame precisely.

"So, I'm here to give you the time today! Although we have always had watchmen and hourglasses, the hourglass is not that accurate, and we have no way to accurately determine the time every day. Now these clocks represent the time. , can allow everyone to use time more accurately, and naturally the efficiency of my Tang court will also be greatly improved."

"You can see that there are twelve scales on it, and each scale represents an hour, and a whole day is exactly 24 hours, that is, the shortest hour hand turns twice."

"In this way, our daily work can be very precise, and some work will not be delayed. And everyone's daily commute time can also be very precise. In addition, for the health of the court officials, I decided to use the Tang Royal As a trustee, change everyone's meals to two meals, that is, on non-court days, when you come to the Yamen to work, breakfast and lunch will be provided."

"According to Sun Zhenzhen, all the ministers are not young. It is better for your health to have a little breakfast in the morning, and working on an empty stomach is not a good choice." Li Ke said seriously.

"Thank you, Your Highness." All the ministers saluted immediately. Although they were all old fritters, this small favor would not be grateful, but the superficial effort must be sufficient, and Li Ke's behavior is indeed let They felt a bit of warmth, and His Highness really still cared about them.

"You're welcome, I have prepared one of these pendulum clocks for each yamen, and I specially prepared ones with better materials for my father's Liangyi Hall and Taiji Hall." Li Ke said with a smile, "In addition , I also wrote a pair of couplet plaques for each yamen, and I decided to arrange for you all."

couplet?Everyone was at a loss. The yamen posted couplets during the Chinese New Year, but what kind of couplets are arranged at this time?

But since His Highness said it, they definitely couldn't say no, they just wanted to see what Li Ke wrote.

Soon, Li Ke asked someone to bring over a pair of wooden couplets, nailed both sides of the gate of Zhongshu Province, and hung the plaque on it.

After the plaque was hung, Li Ke personally took off the two pieces of red silk on the plaque.

When the two pieces of red silk cloth were taken down, everyone was shocked when they saw the contents on them.

This...why does it look so familiar?Wen Yanbo was completely dumbfounded.

There are two lines of characters written on it, the first couplet: the spring night is bitter and the day is high.The second couplet: From now on, the king will not go to court early.

This... this... this... isn't this what His Highness posted directly on the Hall of Taiji during Chinese New Year last year?What does this mean? I posted it directly here.

Wen Yanbo was dumbfounded here, and the other ministers were similar, but Wei Zheng over there couldn't bear it anymore.

Your Highness, although my old Wei really supports you, and many things you do are really great, but this old Wei really can't stand it anymore, aren't you mocking people?What do you mean? !You think my servant can't hold a knife anymore, right?Or is it that I, the servant, dote on you too much?Too much towards you, Your Highness?

"Your Highness!" Wei Zheng stood up and said loudly.

As soon as Wei Zheng stood up, the surrounding officials immediately breathed a sigh of relief, I said you should have come out a long time ago, take a look, take a look, is your Highness doing more and more outrageous things?

Why is His Highness getting more and more outrageous?

This isn't you Wei Zhengyang... oh, isn't this what you Wei Zheng used to? !

It's time for you to stand up and spray His Highness.

How did you spray Your Majesty before?Why are you so patient here, Your Highness?Where is your confidence?

Everyone had different expressions, especially Wen Yanbo looked at Wei Zheng expectantly.

Then before Wei Zheng could say the follow-up words here, Li Ke said with a smile: "Duke Zheng, you also agree with me, right?"

ah?Wei Zhengren was dumbfounded, he looked at Li Ke with disbelief, are you provoking me, Your Highness, you are already like this, tell me, I agree with you?Don't you take me, Wei Zheng, seriously?Or do you think the servants in our province are a bunch of waste?Don't spray this kind of thing?

Seeing Wei Zheng's unbelievable expression, Li Ke smiled and said, "Duke Zheng, do you think I guessed your mind correctly? Actually, I can understand your feelings, but you don't need to exaggerate. It seems that you have seen through it too." My real thoughts."

Wei Zheng: "???"

real thoughts?He originally wanted to complain, but after hearing these four words, Wei Zheng thought for some reason that Li Tai was in charge of the country more than a year ago, saying that His Royal Highness King Qin built an extremely outrageous King Qinzhuang, and then he came to the door situation.

At that time, he really didn't see through His Highness King Qin's true thoughts. He thought that His Highness King Qin was just for enjoyment, but it turned out that His Highness Qin Wang put the people in his heart. Now His Highness said this again... Could it be... What is it? I didn't figure it out?

"Well...Your Highness, tell me?" Wei Zheng asked tentatively.

The ministers: "????"

No, Wei Zheng, you are off the charts, do you know that?That's it, you still want to talk about it, Your Highness?what are you thinking? !You are too outrageous!Wei Zheng, you have changed!

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just what I expect from you!" Li Ke said with emotion.

Everyone: "?"

expect?Are you right?

"This is a kind of spur, a kind of encouragement, and a kind of expectation for you! Why do I say that? It seems to let the king not do his job properly, but have you ever thought about why the king doesn't go to court early, and the country doesn't care if the king doesn't go to court early? Chaos, what is the reason?"

"Of course it's because of your unprecedentedly excellent ministers! When, I hope that one day in Tang Dynasty, even if my father doesn't go to the early court for a year, you can handle state affairs perfectly, and the whole country operates only There are rules, this is the greatest responsibility to the country! Isn't this the highest encouragement for you?!" Li Ke said with a "sentimental" face.

Everyone was stunned.

Wei Zheng was also stunned.

This... seems to be okay? !Three provinces and six ministries can handle a country's political affairs without even using a king. Isn't this the greatest encouragement and expectation for their ministers? !This...many people thought of the saying that was spread before, saying...it seems beneficial for His Highness to let His Majesty give them more rights? !

Is it true? !Everyone's mood when looking at this couplet is suddenly different.

It turned out that this was His Highness and Your Majesty's greatest expectation and encouragement for them!
