Chapter 695: This is what is expected of you
When Li Ke asked people to take out the things, these ministers looked at the constantly swinging pendulum, and the twelve numbers on the dial, and the five dots between each number, and a hand swayed with the pendulum below, just one square with precision.
"So, I'm here to send you time today! Although we have always had a husband and an hourglass, but the hourglass is not so accurate, and we have no way to accurately determine the time in our daily life, now these clocks represent time, which can allow everyone to use time more accurately, and naturally the efficiency of my Tang Dynasty court will also be greatly improved. ”
"You can see that there are twelve scales on it, and each scale represents an hour, and the whole day is exactly twenty-four hours, which is the shortest hour hand that makes two turns."
"This way we can do our daily work very precisely, and some work will not be delayed. In addition, for the sake of the health of the courtiers, I decided to change everyone's meals to two meals as the identity of the Tang Royal Trust, that is, on non-court days, when everyone comes to work in the yamen, breakfast and lunch will be provided. ”
"According to Sun Zhenren, all the ministers are not young, and it is better for the body to eat a little breakfast in the morning, and working hungry is not a good choice." Li Ke said seriously.
"Thank you, Your Highness." All the ministers immediately saluted, although they were all old fritters, this little favor was not grateful, but the work on the surface must be enough, and Li Ke's behavior did make them feel a trace of warmth, His Royal Highness really cared about them.
"You're welcome, I have prepared one for each of these pendulum clocks, and I have specially prepared better materials for my father's Liangyi Hall and Taiji Hall." Li Ke smiled and said, "In addition, I also wrote a couplet plaque for each yamen, and I decided to arrange it for all of you." ”
Couplet? Everyone was a little dazed, the yamen had posted couplets during the New Year, but what couplets were arranged at this time?
But since His Royal Highness said it, it was definitely impossible for them to say no, they could only want to see what Li Ke had written.
Soon, Li Ke asked people to bring a pair of wooden couplets, and then nailed both sides of the gate of Zhongshu Province, and then hung up the plaque.
After hanging the plaque, Li Ke personally removed the two pieces of red silk cloth on the plaque.
When the two pieces of red silk were removed, everyone was stunned to see what they were looking at.
This...... Why do you look so familiar? Wen Yanbo was stupid.
There are two lines of words written on it, and the couplet: The spring night is bitter and the short day is high. Downlink: From now on, the king will not be early.
This...... This...... This...... Isn't this what His Royal Highness directly pasted on the Taiji Hall during the Chinese New Year last year? What do you mean, and it's posted directly to them.
Wen Yanbo was dumbfounded, and the other ministers were similar, but Wei Zheng over there really couldn't bear it.
Your Royal Highness, although my Lao Wei is indeed supporting you, and many of your things are indeed very good, but my Lao Wei really can't bear this, aren't you mocking people? What do you mean?! You don't think I'm a squire who can't hold a knife, do you? Or am I spoiling you too much? Too much for you, Your Highness?
"Your Highness!" Wei Zheng directly stood up and said loudly.
As soon as Wei Zheng stood up, the surrounding ministers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, I said you should have come out a long time ago, look at it, look at it, is His Highness's things getting more and more outrageous?
Why is His Highness getting more and more outrageous?
This is not you Wei Zhengyang...... Oh, isn't this what you're used to?!
It's time for you to stand up and squirt Your Highness.
How did you spray Your Majesty before? Why do you endure it again and again here in Your Highness? Where's your confidence?
Everyone's expressions were different, especially Wen Yanbo looked at Wei Zheng expectantly.
Then before Wei Zheng's follow-up words came out, Li Ke smiled and said: "Zheng Guogong, you also agree with my opinion, right?" ”
Yes? Wei Zhengren was stupid, he looked at Li Ke in disbelief, Your Highness, are you provoking me, you are like this, you tell me, I agree with your opinion? Don't you take me Wei Zheng in your eyes? Or do you think the servants in our province are a bunch of rubbish? Don't squirt this kind of thing?
Seeing Wei Zheng's incredulous expression, Li Ke smiled and said, "Zheng Guogong, do you think I guessed your mind correctly?" Actually, I can understand your feelings, but you don't need to praise it, it seems that you have seen through my true thoughts. ”
Wei Zheng: "??? ”
What do you really think? He originally wanted to spray, but after hearing these four words, Wei Zheng didn't know why he thought of Li Tai who was there in charge of the country more than a year ago, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Qin had built an extremely outrageous Qin Wang Village, and then he came to the door.
At that time, he really didn't see through His Royal Highness King Qin's true thoughts, he thought that His Royal Highness King Qin was just for enjoyment, but it turned out that His Royal Highness King Qin put the people in his heart, and His Royal Highness said this again...... Don't...... Is there anything I haven't figured out?
"That...... Your Highness, can you tell me? Wei Zheng asked tentatively.
Ministers: "???? ”
No, Wei Zheng, you are off the spectrum, do you know? That's it, do you want Your Highness to say something? What do you think?! You're outrageous, aren't you? Wei Zheng, you've changed!
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just what I expect from you!" Li Ke said with emotion.
Everyone: "? ”
Expectations? You're not wrong?
This is a spur, an encouragement, and an expectation for you! Why do I say that? It seems that the king is not doing his job, but have you ever wondered why the king did not come to court early, and the king did not dynasty early, and the country was not chaotic if he did not come to court early, what is the reason? ”
"Of course, it's because of your unprecedented group of excellent ministers! When, I hope that one day, even if my father and emperor don't go to the early dynasty for a year, you will be able to handle state affairs perfectly, and the whole country is only operating in an orderly manner, which is the biggest responsibility for the country! Isn't that the highest encouragement for you?! Li Ke said with a "sigh" on his face.
Everyone was stunned.
Wei Zheng was also stunned.
This...... Doesn't seem to be wrong?! Three provinces and six ministries can handle the political affairs of a country, and they don't even need a king, isn't this the greatest encouragement and expectation for their courtiers?! This...... Many people thought of the saying that circulated before in their hearts and said...... Your Highness seems to be beneficial, let Your Majesty give them more rights to come out?!
Is it true?! Everyone's mood when they looked at this couplet was different all of a sudden.
It turns out that this is the greatest expectation and encouragement of His Highness and His Majesty to them!
