Chapter 1269

The next morning! Li Shimin sits high in the Dragon chair, and his highness gathers hundreds of officials.

There was silence in the Tai Chi hall. There was only the rustling sound of reading. At the end of the hundred officials, Merton reluctantly yawned. He was foolproof. Li Shimin grabbed the handle because he set the early morning alarm clock at seven o'clock and was dragged to the early morning.

Li Shimin looked at the records of the court meeting in the Tai Chi hall after he left, and nodded with satisfaction. Generally speaking, Li Chengqian did not live up to his cultivation over the years. Some conventional state affairs were handled in a methodical manner. He took the four clock overdue Memorial. Li Chengqian had the courage to agree directly, which was beyond Li Shimin's expectation.

"The old minister wants to impeach the Mo family son for lawlessness and arbitrarily change the twelve hour timing method inherited for thousands of years."

"The minister wants to impeach the four clocks. The Mohist organ city is already the limit of folk architecture, but Mohist Zi has built four clocks on the Mohist organ city."

"The people of Chang'an City impeached the people, and the bells on all sides disturbed the people, which frightened the people."

……………………

Sure enough, civil servants began to impeach the four bells built by the Mohists.

Li Shimin closed the record and looked up at the excited civil servants. He could not help but feel a pain in his eyebrows. He knew that the four clocks of Mohist school would cause disputes. Fortunately, he caught the boy Merton in advance.

"Merton, how do you explain this?" Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Merton had to stand out and bow his hands: "Your Majesty, the construction of four clocks in Mojia village has been played to the imperial court, and the ministers did not object at that time, but it was approved by his Highness the prince. However, although the four clocks exceeded the system, it allowed the people in the distance to see the precise time. When it comes to exceeding the system, the Buddhist pagoda and Taoist pagoda also exceeded the system. Why can't there be impeachment by all officials?"

Yu Zhining retorted: "the pagoda and the Taoist pagoda are the places where Buddhism and Taoism serve the gods. Only when they are in a high position can they show their respect for the gods. Your Highness the crown prince was deceived by you, which approved your exceeding the system. Now your majesty has returned, and the old minister urges your majesty to review the exceeding the system for four clocks."

Merton sniffed and said, "Your Highness the king of Wei has never met a God in the hot-air balloon flying into the clouds, and your majesty has not received a response from the gods. The Taoist pagoda can worship the gods? The moon, the broom star, and the heavenly dog eat the sun..."

Merton became bolder and bolder, and the faces of all officials were black. After so much popular science of Mohism, the theory of gods seemed to be more and more untenable in the Tang Dynasty.

"Morton, don't be rude to the gods." Li Shimin scolded. In the Tang Dynasty, you can not believe in ghosts and gods, but you can't disrespect ghosts and gods.

Merton then said: "Mo didn't mean to slander Taoism and Buddhism. Instead, he worshipped the gods in the high tower to offer sacrifices to heaven, while the four clocks were accurate in time, benefiting the people of Chang'an city. The people are the most precious, the monarch is the least, and the country is the second. People's livelihood and sacrifice are equally important. The four clocks can benefit the country and the people. The minister risked the risk of exceeding the system to play to the prince. Fortunately, the prince understood the great righteousness and approved the four clocks The construction of the face clock allows the people of Chang'an city to know when they are. "

"My son's minister allowed the clock on all sides to exceed the system without authorization, and asked my father to punish me." Li Chengqian bowed down and pleaded for sin.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "the clock on all sides is related to the people's livelihood. There is nothing wrong with your exception."

The four clocks can clearly show the precise time whether it is cloudy or at night, but it benefits half of Chang'an city. From this point of view, Li Chengqian has not done anything wrong. Even if he is re tried now, he will not object.

The ministers could not help but sigh. They originally wanted to embarrass Prince Li Chengqian with the help of the four clocks, and warned Li Chengqian not to get too close to the Mohist school. However, they didn't expect Li Shimin to protect the prince and directly identify the four clocks as a major event of people's livelihood.

Yu Zhining continued to say, "Your Highness the prince is far sighted, but the Mohist family has failed to live up to his Highness's trust, and even tampered with the twelve hour system of the Tang Dynasty. It is rumored that the Mohist family's move is suspected of reversing Yin and Yang, disturbing the secret of heaven, and undermining the national fortune for the benefit of the Mohist family."

Merton flatly denied: "it's nonsense. The Mohist School advocates the Ming ghost. It aims to explore the truth behind the ghosts and gods, and does not believe in the way of ghosts and gods' luck. As for the division of twelve hours into two, there is no other intention, but to achieve accurate time. This is the obligation of every hundred schools of thought, and it is also the decision after the joint discussion of Mohist School and mathematics."

"It's nonsense! People all over the world are used to the method of twelve hour timing. As a hundred schools of thought, you Mohist school should follow the trend and serve the convenience of the people. However, you Mohist school is arrogant and willfully changes the method of timing to disturb the people's life." Yu Zhining retorted.

Merton sneered: "In my opinion, disturbing the people's lives is disturbing the lives of scholars. All the time, the twelve hour timing method has been used by scholars, while the readers in Chang'an City account for only 10% of the total population, while the readers in the whole Tang Dynasty account for only half of the total population. Those 90% of the people can't recognize Zi Chou Yin Mao in their whole life, and they only need one day to get there You can understand these twelve numbers, understand the four clocks, and know exactly when you are. "

"It's a load of nonsense. You've only been around for a few days. You dare to deny the twelve hour timing method inherited for thousands of years." Yu Zhining was angry and defeated.

"It is not a way to deny the twelve hour clock, but to develop for twenty-four hours on twelve hours." the micro minister once made Ink magazine survey among ordinary people. Now 70% of the illiterate people can understand the time represented by the four sides of the clock, even the illiterate surnames can understand and the readers be nothing difficult to say. From this point, twenty figures are shown. The four hour system is easier to understand than the twelve hour timing represented by ZiChou Yinmao. It is not a negation, but progress. "Merton said positively.

"Unexpectedly, 70% of the people have accepted the four clocks!"

All officials were in an uproar. No one expected that the 24-hour timing method based on four clocks had been popularized in just a few days.

At the same time, there was just seven bells outside the hall. It was already seven o'clock unconsciously.

"It's seven o'clock at the moment. After people eat, they can start the day's work. Five hours later, it will be noon. Eleven hours later, that is, six o'clock in the afternoon, people finish their work and are ready to go home. Everything is accurate, orderly and orderly. Today's four clocks have been integrated into people's life. People eat, work and sleep according to the time of four clocks, which is 100 minutes What the surname needs is not ZiChou Yinmao, but a more accurate and easy to understand timing method. I think the people of Chang'an have made a choice whether to use the 12 hour timing method or the 24-hour timing method. "Merton looked around and said proudly.

Suddenly, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent. The foundation of the existence of the hundred schools was the people all over the world. Now the four clocks of the Mohist school have been accepted by so many people, and they have gone.

"In that case, the temporary 24-hour system of four side clocks will be discussed if there are any mistakes." Li Shimin waved his hand. Although he was not used to the 24-hour timing method, the ordinary people had accepted it, so he followed suit.

Merton accidentally glanced at Li Shimin. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was on his side. What Merton didn't know was that the reason why Li Shimin really let him go was that Li Shimin saw his memorial of the agent war.

"Amazing!" Li Shimin's eyes brightened, but he frowned when he saw that Li Chengqian had chosen Chang sun Chong's compromise.

"Stupid!"

Li Shimin scolded in his heart. From his eyes, it can be seen that no matter what kind of proxy war or Datang's sending troops in person, this is the best policy, while Chang sun Chong's compromise policy is the worst policy. But Li Chengqian chose this one.

"Tell your majesty, there has been good news on the grassland, and our army has won a great victory." Fang Xuanling bowed to report.

Li Shimin was relieved. Although Li Chengqian chose the worst policy, fortunately there was no mistake.

"It's natural for our army to defeat Tuyuhun. The firearm army is the most powerful in the world. With the firearm army, the Tang Dynasty will be invincible." a royal historian flattered changsun Wuji and boasted.

However, the eldest sun Wuji didn't appreciate it. He came forward and said sadly, "the old minister is guilty. Please punish the villain severely."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "what does eldest sun Aiqing mean? This battle has been won. How can I punish meritorious officials?"

The eldest sun Wuji gnashed his teeth and said, "when the villain first went to the battlefield, he was so greedy for work that Xue yantuo caught the flaw and let the firearm army fall into a tight encirclement. Fortunately, General Li Ji sacrificed his life to save him, which turned the war situation around. If the overall situation of the hall was ruined because of the villain, the old minister would kill the villain himself."

Chang sun Wuji said and handed over Chang sun Chong's Memorial.

Li Chengqian could not help but shrink his eyes. He did not expect that changsun Wuji should take the initiative to uncover changsun Chong's criminal evidence. However, he did not think much. He thought that changsun Chong took the initiative to explain to changsun Wuji, and this wily uncle took the initiative to remedy it.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "greedy for merit and rash progress, which soldier doesn't want to make achievements, it's rare for Chong'er to have this heart. Fortunately, it didn't cause great disaster."

The eldest sun Wuji said with a ashamed face, "tell your majesty, if only these old ministers were there, but the villain abandoned the army and fled when the army besieged the firearm army."

"Abandon the army and flee!"

Suddenly, the man Dynasty was in an uproar. Among the first good news, Chang sun Chong was a hero to reverse his occupation, but now he has become a deserter who abandoned his army and fled. The difference is too big.

Li Shimin could not help but change his face. If he was greedy for merit and rash, he could cover up for Chang sun Chong. However, abandoning the army and fleeing would involve Li Shimin's bottom line.

When you see more than half of the casualties of the firearm army, you can't help but feel a pain in your heart. You should know that the firearm army is very expensive. It is better than the most expensive Modao team in terms of equipment, not to mention the consumption during normal training.

Seeing Li Shimin's face, Li Chengqian secretly rejoiced that he had not concealed it for Chang sun Chong, otherwise even he could not escape the blame.

"Your Majesty doesn't know. There is a misunderstanding about this matter. Weichen thinks that general changsun is not abandoning the army, but brave and resourceful. He has saved the firearm army among the ten thousand armies. He has done nothing wrong but meritorious service." Zhang lianglang, the Minister of the Ministry of work, said.

"Greedy for merit, the firearm army fell into a siege, and abandoned the army. Mo wanted to hear what reason general Chang sun could do something without fault." Merton said coldly.

The firearm army was trained by him. Even if he was taken away by Chang sun Chong, he also wholeheartedly supported it. Now that Chang sun Chong is trapped in a tight encirclement, it is a victory, but also a tragic victory and heavy losses, which makes Merton not angry.

Zhang Liang explained: "Lord Mo didn't know about the battlefield. At that time, Li Simo was originally behind the hall to cover the retreat of the firearm army. However, after Xue yantuo's cavalry caught up with him, Li Simo even abandoned the firearm army and ran away alone. When General Chang sun saw this, he immediately ordered sun wukai, deputy general of the firearm army, to command the firearm army. He caught up with 40000 Turkic cavalry alone, threatening and luring Turkic cavalry to contain Xue yantuo outside. It was the most important thing Later, he continued to ask for help. It was not until general Li Ji arrived. If General Chang sun did not make a decision, I'm afraid that the firearm army would not only be destroyed, but also that the war would be won. "

Li Chengqian sighed in his heart. He didn't expect Chang sun Wuji to come forward and reduce Chang sun Chong's guilt to the lowest. It must have been settled that he even bought and sold military skills. Fortunately, he never thought of tearing his face with his uncle and couldn't help burying the secret in his heart.

Merton laughed angrily: "Mo has never heard such a fresh and refined saying that he would run away without fighting. The battlefield has always been fought with real swords and guns, and he has never heard the story of deserting soldiers to help the army win. I think Mo returned to Chang'an City after the army won the Hui Dynasty and settled the firearm army. He was impeached by the Manchu Dynasty. Now the eldest son of the Chang Sun family abandoned the army and fled on the battlefield and became a great hero , it's the biggest joke in the world. "

Suddenly, the face of the man Dynasty's civil and military changed. I remembered that the Mo family had dismissed the position of the firearm army because of the production of Princess Changle and returned to Beijing alone. At present, the mistakes made by Chang sun Chong are much more serious than those of the Mo family. If they pass the customs so easily, I'm afraid they can't explain.

"It's a taboo for a general to abandon the army at any time, especially on the battlefield. It's not enough to calm the army without punishment." Qin Qiong, as a military representative, said.

Li Shimin nodded his head slowly and said, "send the order and take the post of general of changsun Chong firearms army. The merits and demerits will be issued after the Ministry of military finds out."

No matter what Chang sun Chong's purpose is, it is a foregone conclusion that he will abandon the army on the battlefield. According to Merton's lesson, Chang sun Chong's position as a general of the firearm army will never be preserved.

"Your Majesty is wise! The old minister has nothing to say." Chang sun Wuji killed his relatives in great righteousness. If there were no trouble from the Mohist school, Chang sun Chong could easily pass the pass, but he could accept the result. At least Chang sun Chong still has room to turn around.

"This villain, if I hadn't got the information in advance, you would be dead this time!" said the eldest sun Wuji with hatred in his heart.
