Everyone was shocked by Li Ke's words, mainly by the outrageous content in his words.
How should I put it... There is nothing wrong with this to them, but the more they think about it, the more outrageous it becomes. Is this what your family expects? Are you afraid that we are fools?
Almost everyone has this idea in their hearts.
But again, thoughts are thoughts, whether you want to say them out or not are two different things.
The reason is simple, it is related to their own interests.
This is like an ordinary person more than a thousand years later working as a manager in a Fortune 500 company, and then the chairman posted a message on your office door, saying: Work hard today and inherit the company tomorrow.
Although you may think this statement is outrageous, if you hang it there, you can win the favor of the chairman. The point is, the chairman's words are not just a mere compliment, and he will also give you a salary increase.
Presumably, even if they knew in their hearts that these words were ridiculous... but no one would expose them, right? Doesn’t everyone have to applaud? It's okay to praise the chairman for his toughness?
This is what the ministers are thinking now. The words are a bit outrageous, and it can be explained by their expectations, but... the previous message was really not without purpose.
Leaving aside the top few prime ministers, just talking about the officials of the six ministries, their power has been greatly enlarged recently.
Because the split of the six departments is already inevitable, and it will no longer be the six departments. Who knows how many departments there will be, but the heads of these departments should at least be ministers, right? Regardless of whether it is just a division of previous rights, for the heads of these departments, their level improvement is the most critical.
As for the issue of rights, even if many rights were concentrated in one department in the past, it was impossible for one of them to have all the authority. The six ministers had different tasks assigned to them, not to mention that there were different divisions under the six departments. , different bureaus and other assigned departments.
The expressions of many ministers were somewhat distorted, because they thought it was outrageous at first, and then they were shocked. The most important thing is that the more they thought about it, the more damn right Li Ke's words became.
So everyone said, although I don't understand, I was shocked, and my expression was of course distorted, and they couldn't figure out where the strange thoughts in His Highness's head came from. This is really …
I always feel that normal people would never think of His Highness's thoughts, but you might say that His Highness is abnormal, but he is normally cruel.
It feels like a child playing a prank, but behind this kind of prank is a person who made drastic reforms to the Tang Dynasty and expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty on a large scale. These two completely conflicting characteristics are concentrated in one person. , which gives people a strong sense of distortion.
The mood of all the ministers was like this, and Wei Zheng was even worse.
who I am? where am I? what should I do? He originally wanted to spray, but how could he spray in this situation?
Don't worry about how outrageous this thing is, just say whether it's a good thing or not? If you criticize someone for saying nice things, then this is wrong. The point is that what Li Ke did is not just a matter of nice words. This is a kind of propaganda promoted by literati from ancient times to the present. Plant the virtues of a gentleman!
It's just that many gentlemen in the past would not implement it this way, because it would weaken the gentleman's rights.
Now whether it is Li Ke or His Majesty who wants to do this, can you still say that this is a bad thing? what do you think? Are you going to cut off everyone's access? Who would agree? If he complained at this time, he wouldn't need Li Ke to speak. It is estimated that many people who are also censors like him would complain back.
This is like the saying more than a thousand years later, we are all successors of socialism.
Is there anything wrong with this statement? There's nothing wrong with it, no one can say it's bad.
In a way, it's right.
Even ordinary people would not find anything unacceptable in this sentence.
And people at their level would not feel anything was wrong.
…
Your Highness, are you targeting me, Wei Zheng? Wei Zheng is a little bald. Fortunately, I didn't troll you more than a year ago. Instead, I went home honestly. Otherwise, wouldn't you be trolling me again? Sure enough, His Highness's ideas are different. It seems that he will have to think more carefully in the future and not let himself fall into an embarrassing situation.
"What His Highness said is absolutely true. Although it seems to mean the same thing on the surface, when put in this place, it represents another kind of encouragement. It would be better if Your Highness could write this kind of encouragement clearly." Wei Zheng said with a serious look.
Everyone: "?"
Wei Zheng, are you still shameless? When did you become a sycophant? ! When did you start saying nothing but flattery? We still like the tough-headed you we were before, please recover.
Everyone was dumbfounded. You have changed too quickly. I dare you to say only good things to His Highness King Qin, right? What? When you faced King Qin, those taunting words were taken away from your mind, right?
"Haha, yes, what Zheng Guogong said is very true. Then I will have this sentence carved on a big stone later, and then put it in each of your yamen. You must all regard this sentence as my right to It’s your encouragement that will do the trick.”
"Everyone, let's go to each yamen. I have to send it to you personally at this time." Li Ke said happily.
Everyone is speechless, but they can't say anything. This is a bit outrageous, but sending time is a good thing in itself. With this pendulum clock, especially if this pendulum clock is so accurate, it is indeed a good thing for various yamen. It's a good thing!
Of course, Li Ke also asked the craftsmen who came with him to adjust the time of the pendulum clock to these people from various yamen. In fact, winding it is also very simple. There is a key-like existence behind it. Just keep turning it in circles to wind it. .
Its spring allows it to last for about three days, which means that there is no problem if it is wound once every two days.
However, the quality of its spring is average. It is estimated that if it is used for one or two years, this time will definitely be shortened, and the spring will probably have to be replaced.
These are all small things, and can be replaced by a craftsman at any time.
After going to Zhongshu Province, Li Ke went to Menxia Province. Compared with Shangshu Province, the number of officials in these two provinces is smaller. After all, the six ministries are all under Shangshu Province, so the number of officials required is naturally very large. .
And people like Wei Zheng, who are servants, belong to the province.
