Chapter 46: watch! time!

"Father Huang is wise, my son's respect for you is like the Yellow River flooding..." What Li Yin thought of, Li Shimin thought of, what Li Yin didn't expect, Li Shimin also thought of it for him, Li Yin had nothing to say but flattered .

"That's enough, that's enough, I'm still here with my father. Don't delay the affairs of the newspaper, and don't delay the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. You see, you have only been in office for a few days, and the memorial to impeach you will come up." Li Shimin said. , Throwing a memorial in front of Li Yin.

Li Yin glanced at the writer on the memorial, and it turned out to be Zhao Jie, his immediate boss, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. There were a lot of impeachment items on him, including being late and leaving early, absenteeism and dereliction of duty, and not observing discipline. To sum it up, Li Yin Min is standing in the latrine and not shitting, so it would be a mistake to hand over the underground pipes to him.

Li Yinba had no choice but to take on this poor job, and was afraid of his impeachment, "Father, since someone impeached my son, and I don't want to embarrass my father, why not remove my son from office!"

"Nonsense! Those in the court don't get ginseng behind their backs, and they don't get ginsenged in front of people. You don't want to do it just because you get ginseng. Don't all the ministers in the court have to go home? This Zhao Jie was scolded by me early in the morning." After that, I also made it clear to the ministers that you are solely responsible for the underground pipeline, and you don't have to be the same as other regular officials!"

"Yes, father!" Li Shimin said so, and Li Yin no longer shirked. The emperor's father gave him such strong support, and he couldn't accept it.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Yin suddenly remembered something: "Father, I have a gift for you and the queen mother!"

"Oh?" Li Shimin's words made Li Shimin look forward to it. The baijiu last time surprised him for a while, and he doesn't know what he can come up with this time.

"Father, this is called a watch!" Li Yin put the mechanical watch he ordered on Li Shimin's table, "Father works day and night, and often forgets the time. With this watch, Father can always know what time it is. "

The strange shape of the mechanical watch aroused Li Shimin's interest. He took it up and looked it over carefully, and found it very exquisite. Behind the transparent layer that looked like glazed glass, there were three constantly rotating hands. Words such as Zishi, Chenshi, and Choushi have been reversed.

"Father, have you seen these three hands? The shortest one is called the hour hand, the longest one is called the minute hand, and the one in the middle is called the minute hand. The second hand makes a revolution of one minute, and the minute hand makes a revolution of half an hour." It takes a long time for the hour hand to turn around..." Li Yin explained the functions of the watch in detail, and Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, like an ignorant primary school student full of curiosity about new things.

Under Li Yin's guidance, Li Shimin put the watch on his wrist, and asked the little **** standing in front of the door, "What time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's Shen Shi!" the little **** said.

Li Shimin looked at his watch, the hour hand was indeed pointing to the mark, he smiled and said: "It's really a god, where did you get it?"

Li Yin thought that Li Shimin might ask this question, he said: "My son has contacts with a businessman from Huaxia Kingdom, and that country has a lot of pompous things, and this is just a small thing."

"Huaxia Kingdom? Why haven't I heard it before?"

Li Yin continued to flicker: "Father, there are countless countries overseas, such as Fuyu Kingdom, Dashi Kingdom, and Fusu Kingdom, which we know, and there are some that we have never seen that are thousands of miles away. For business, I was fortunate enough to meet a few businessmen from Huaxia Kingdom, and I also bought this batch of watches from them." Li Min boasted desperately.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded, no longer doubting, after all, some strange countries send envoys to Datang every year, he is no stranger to it, "Since this is your filial piety, I will accept it! "

"Thank you, father, the minister there is resigning!" After successfully bribing the emperor's father, Li Yin left.

After Li Yin left, Li Shimin played with his watch. Just now when Li Yin was by his side, he had to take care of his majesty. Now as soon as Li Yin left, he immediately picked it up, looked left and right, took it off and put it on, put it on and took it off again. .

At the end of the day's work, Li Shimin took another watch that Li Yin gave him and went to Yanxi Palace. This watch was given to Empress Changsun by Li Yin.

"It's really miraculous!" The performance of Empress Changsun in Yanxi Palace was no less astonishing than that of Li Shimin at that time.

"With it, you can arrange your time reasonably, and you won't delay things because you forget the time. It's really worth promoting!" Li Shimin said after putting the watch on Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun nodded and said: "What the emperor said is that this watch must be precious, and I'm afraid I won't have too many of them!"

"I'm just thinking about it, but I don't know if it's feasible to ask Min'er to provide one to each of the high officials in the court. Hey, I was so happy at that time, but I forgot to ask him?"

"It's not too late to ask, Your Majesty, Min'er is at Concubine Yang's place now, and I saw him just now!"

"This kid, you really don't let him down!" Li Shimin said: "Let's go and have a look!"

In the Ziyun Pavilion, Li Min has been here for a while, after giving the watch to Concubine Yang, he was happy to let him stay for dinner.

"Mother Concubine, you have been watching for half an hour, and you still haven't seen enough!" Li Yin reclined on the chair, and said depressedly, although there are not so many etiquettes with Concubine Yang, it is boring enough to stay all the time. "I'm starving to death, when will the food be served!"

"What's the hurry, wait another 20 minutes!" Concubine Yang glanced at her watch, learning to use it immediately, "It's rare to come to Concubine Mother, so I'm in such a hurry to go back!"

"I've been here four or five times a month, is it still not enough?" Li Yin called Qu.

Concubine Yang glared at him, "Is it too many four or five times? Ke'er comes to pay her respects to concubine mother every day, how about you!"

Li Yin immediately shut up and stopped talking. After leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Ke’s palace is there. Of course, he can come to show his face every day when he has nothing to do, but his Liangwang’s mansion is in the south of Chang’an City.

"Hahaha, your mother is right, you come here too rarely in this Tai Chi Palace!" As soon as Concubine Yang's voice fell, Li Shimin's hearty laughter came from outside the room, Empress Changsun and Li Shimin walked in side by side .

"Emperor, Empress!"

"Father emperor, mother queen!"

"The family doesn't need so many rules!" Li Shimin sat down and asked Li Yin directly: "I heard that the queen said you were here, so I came here. Miner, how much do you have for this watch?"

Li Yan missed the electric transfer, but instinctively replied: "Father, there are not many sons and ministers. This watch is very difficult to make and the value is expensive. I don't know why the father wants so many watches?"

"Father wanted to assign one to each of the several important officials in the court, so as to improve their efficiency in handling affairs. If it is really embarrassing, forget it!" Li Shimin said regretfully.

"That's it!" Li Yin rolled his eyes. Isn't this a good opportunity to build relationships with ministers? He said: "Father, this is not impossible!"

(I admit a mistake here. In the Tang Dynasty, there was the position of servant of the Huangmen. This Wang Gui was not an eunuch, but a courtier next to Li Shimin. The author of Xiaohuangmen is a bit self-righteous. The **** in the Tang Dynasty was called **** directly. , there is no little yellow gate, the yellow gate order said, I will correct the previous mistakes.)
