Li Guanqi said in an impassioned tone: "As the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, laws and rules are the cornerstone of the country's survival, if there are orders that do not work, there are rules that are not followed, it will be a very bad thing." In short, there must be rules in the future. ”

Everyone didn't expect the emperor to make such a speech as soon as he came up, and they were more or less caught off guard in their hearts, and someone quietly discussed it at the moment.

Li Guanqi's tone became stern abruptly, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Yang Bozheng." ”

"The minister is here." Yang Bozheng hurriedly replied.

Li Guanqi said: "This matter will be handled by your Ministry of Rites." Go back and make a good count, how the rules should be established, and how the etiquette should be formulated. Of course, it is impossible to change everything for a while, and first pick up a few important things to do. For example, the color of the official's uniform, from one to nine grades, must be different, and then the rules of the court meeting and so on. All of this has to be done with a specific system for me. ”

"Obey." Yang Bozheng bowed and replied.

Because Li Guanqi successfully got rid of Zu Donglai, the first minister, he still has a high political prestige now. In addition, the re-establishment of the new ceremonial system has imposed certain constraints on the ministers of the DPRK and China, but it does not affect their fundamental interests, so no one has come out to oppose it. The reason why Li Guanqi first proposed to establish new rules is to further strengthen his political influence, and only in this way will these officials listen to him.

Li Guanqi saw that everyone acquiesced to this reform measure, so he continued: "The second thing is also what I thought of after I got up this morning. It's snowing, it's cold, I'm ...... Oh, I got up at about the end of the day, and there was a lot of charcoal in the palace, and I felt that the cold was blowing. As for you, I guess you get up in the middle of the night, right? It's windy and snowy outside, and they must have suffered a lot. ”

After a pause, Li Guanqi continued: "And lack of sleep is not in line with the way of health preservation." Therefore, I decided to postpone the time of the early dynasty. Well, just change it to ...... It was changed to the beginning of the year. In addition, the court meeting was changed from the original 151 Dynasty to 10 days. ”

Qin Minzhong had also heard that Li Guanqi had the habit of sleeping lazy, and he was also older, so he really felt that his body was a little unbearable when he tossed like today. At that moment, he looked back at the other scholars, and saw that everyone had no intention of objecting, so he stood up and said: "This is the emperor's love for the ministers, and the ministers should obey them." ”

Other officials also expressed their support, especially those ministers who were younger and liked to snooze, and they were even more grateful to Li Guanqi for this move.

In fact, postponing the court meeting is not a big problem, and the emperors of all dynasties have their own preferences for the time of the court meeting, and there are also those who do not go to court for the whole month or even most of the year. This is not an absolute matter of principle, the emperor likes to sleep lazily, as long as he is diligent in government at other times.

What's more, this is a good thing for civil and military officials, most of the officials' residences are some distance away from the imperial city, and the current early dynasty time is indeed too early for them. Take breakfast as an example, it was not yet dawn, and it was laborious and laborious to make breakfast, and because it was so early, everyone hardly had much appetite; However, if you don't eat breakfast, once you encounter urgent tasks, you will not be able to finish the morning for a long time, and you will be so hungry that your hands and feet will be weak and dizzy.

Now Li Guanqi has postponed the time of the early dynasty by an hour, everyone can sleep well, use it comfortably, and then come to the palace Xuanzheng Hall to go to court. Therefore, Li Guanqi's reform measure has almost completely encountered no opposition.

"Very well, since everyone has no opinion, this matter is settled. Let's talk about other things. ”

Li Guanqi paused for a while, and then said with a smile: "I know that everyone's usual work is very hard, day after day, year after year, so I have decided to let you take a day off every five days from now on. What do you think? ”

As soon as these words came out, the DPRK and China were in an uproar, and the ministers of civil and military affairs turned their heads one after another.

Zuodu Yushi Lin Bai jumped out first and said, "Your Majesty! This move violates the precedent of our ancestors and is absolutely unfeasible. ”

"Huh?!" Li Guanqi couldn't help but be surprised, the first two things went smoothly, but he didn't expect to encounter obstacles in this matter. He really couldn't understand why he would still be opposed to letting everyone rest. So he smiled at himself and said: "Lin Aiqing, Sage Kong has said that 'change will make sense, and if it is general, it will last for a long time', and it is dangerous to keep the same. Just because it is different from the precedent of our ancestors does not mean that it is not feasible. Keeping the same is sorry for the ancestors. ”

Qin Minzhong also came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is not advisable to keep the same, but the law of the ancestors cannot be changed. Just like the emperor's proposal of a five-day holiday, the minister thought it was undesirable. ”

"Oh? Tell me your opinion. "Li Guanqi is not a self-righteous person, and he is still very willing to listen to everyone's opinions.

Qin Minzhong said eloquently: "The five-day rest can certainly give the ministers more time to rest, but it is also easy to make the officials rest too much, and then breed laziness, and eventually bring immeasurable disasters to the imperial court." ”

Li Guanqi smiled lightly and said, "It is naturally good for Qin Aiqing to have such concerns. But as the saying goes, 'one piece and one relaxation is the way of civil and military'. Only by ensuring your rest can you better contribute to the court and do things for me. As for saying that if someone is lazy because of this, he will be punished by the imperial court. I believe that the royal histories under Lin Aiqing are not eating dry food for nothing, and if they are really lazy, they will not be impeached long ago? ”

Li Guanqi's words not only refuted Qin Minzhong's point of view, but also put a tight spell on Lin Bai by the way. If Lin Bai wants to continue to admonish, he will be a little suspicious of shirking the responsibility of the imperial history. At that moment, the two had no choice but to nod yes and no longer dwell on this issue.

Li Guanqi saw that no one objected anymore, so he continued: "Okay." This is also decided. Now, let's talk about the issues that everyone is concerned about. After Zu Dong came to Fufa, the three provinces, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of War, including Ying Tianfu, were all vacant. I know that everyone's hearts are thinking about the few fat shortages that have been vacated. Let's talk about what everyone thinks, so that I also have a reference. ”

Faced with Li Guanqi's question, everyone chose to remain silent. Although everyone in this hall has thought about this issue in their hearts, everyone also knows that which of these vacancies are very important positions, and they are all yamen that have been controlled by Zu Donglai's party, who dares to express their opinions casually?
