When Li Er raised this question, the imperial court fell silent.
The civil and military officials did not understand why Li Er would suddenly mention a traffic accident like a collision between a horse and a carriage.
Most of the collisions between carriages and horses were caused by a lack of courtesy.
To avoid this kind of accident, they could only rely on the consciousness of the people. How could they have any practical suggestions?
If there was, the ancient sages would have mentioned it long ago. Why would they wait until now?
Moreover, Li Ercai had just dug a pit for Wei Zheng to jump into, making Wei Zheng kneel and be afraid. In the end, he even lost a year's salary.
How would they know that this topic would be Li Er's second trap?
Naturally, no one dared to remonstrate.
Moreover, more than half of the people in the imperial court were just bystanders who were there for attendance. How could they have the chance to remonstrate?
Even if they did, they wouldn't dare.
After all, he was afraid of death. He was afraid that if he spoke carelessly, he would provoke the Saint and ruin his career. It was a small matter, but he was most afraid that he would even lose his life.
After all, not everyone was like Wei Zheng. Li Er had repeatedly spared Wei Zheng's rudeness, but he might not have spared them.
Cheng Yaojin, the Great General of the Right Military Guards, who was standing in the first row of the military officers, had also roughly understood the principle of "driving on the right" because he had gone to see Lin Ye with Li Er yesterday.
However, he was not good with words. If he were to say it, it would probably be difficult for him to make it clear.
Moreover, he knew that this was Li Er's special show to show off, so he didn't dare to jump out and spoil Li Er's mood.
Therefore, after a long silence in the court,
Fang Xuanling stood up.
Fang Xuanling was currently Minister Zuo Pushe, the head of the civil officials.
At a time like this, he had to represent the civil officials and say a few words to ease the awkward atmosphere in the court.
"Your Majesty, the frequent collisions between carriages and horses are due to the lack of benevolence and morality."
Fang Xuanling said.
"If everyone understands humility, the younger generation will give way to the elders, the vehicles carrying light goods will give way to the vehicles carrying heavy goods, and the people who are not in a hurry will give way to the people in a hurry..."
"This way, the problem will naturally be solved.”
"Therefore, I think that if we want to reduce this kind of incident, we can first let the academies everywhere spread the way of humility, and secondly, we can punish those who don't know how to be modest.”
Li Er frowned and shook his head.
Wasn't Fang Xuanling's words exactly the same as what he had said to Lin Ye back then?
All the scholars in the world were indeed full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality. They all read the same books and said the same things. It was as if they were all from the same mold.
Li Er first waved his hand at Fang Xuanling, indicating for him to leave. Then, he swept his gaze across the crowd and said in a disappointed tone,
"I didn't expect that none of the civil and military officials of the Great Tang could give a practical suggestion on such a trivial matter. How sad, how sad!”
As he said that, he even lamented twice as if it was a matter of fact, and it was simply a very penetrating act.
Seeing the Emperor's grief, the officials in the court hurriedly shouted in unison,
"We are incompetent!"
The court was silent for a long time.
Li Er saw that after Fang Xuanling, no one else stood up, so he said slowly,
"Actually, I already have a feasible plan for this matter. However, I won't say it first and give you a chance to perform in front of me."
"However, the result greatly disappointed me."
"I hope that from now on, you can pay more attention to the people's livelihood. Even if it's a very small matter, you have to look at it more and think more."
Li Er said as he stood up from his seat.
"I only need to say four words to reduce the number of accidents in Chang 'an City by at least half."
"These four words are-drive on the right!”
Drive on the right?
Most of the people in the imperial court were still confused. They didn't understand what effect these words could have.
"I understand!"
Cheng Yaojin was the first to shout and began to fight with Li Er.
" If everyone obeys the rule of 'driving on the right', we can reduce the number of collisions from the same side!”
As he spoke, he even bowed to Li Er and said,
"Your Majesty's wisdom is a blessing to the Great Tang!”
With Cheng Yaojin's advice, many civil officials also understood the principle of "driving on the right".
This was a very simple principle.
Once it was said, everyone would feel enlightened. Why could they not think of such a simple reason before?
Moreover, they actually needed Cheng Yaojin, a military officer, to give them some advice before they could suddenly be enlightened.
Today, it could be said that the entire civil service team was overshadowed.
Immediately, all the officials bowed to Li Er and said,
"Your Majesty's wisdom is a blessing to the Great Tang!”
This time, they had no choice but to submit to their emperor!
P.S. In the morning, please ask for fresh flowers and tickets!
