Although the new generation of the Tang Dynasty has begun to grow up and has begun to step onto the stage of history.
But how many people have become famous?
Apart from Chang Sun Chong, Cheng Huailiang, Gao Zhixing, and Yuchi Baolin, who are the prince's party, how many people are qualified for big posts?
They are also clear about this matter.
Now the best among their children is none other than Duan Zhixuan's son.
But Duan Zhixuan's son is still doing odd jobs in Li Chengqian's Qianzi camp.
Can that be considered a good mix?
I'm afraid, it's not even a gangster, at most it's just using his father's name to find a position under Li Chengqian.
However, this sounds really uncomfortable.
Including Li Shimin himself feels uncomfortable now.
He looked up at the old brothers who had been fighting with him for a long time.
An inexplicable bitter feeling rushed straight into my heart.
In the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed.
All the young men in bright clothes and angry horses have now turned into old men talking about teenage madness.
He looked at Cheng Yaojin's graying temples and then at Li Jing's head full of white hair.
When he thought of Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, who was still lying on the hospital bed and had to call the doctor every two days, he felt even more sad.
"I didn't even think of it myself."
"The Tang Dynasty has been established for so long."
"And everyone has been fighting with me for so long."
Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian and the other young people: "But it's okay, it's not that we don't have young people in the Tang Dynasty, it's just that there are too few..."
He looked up to the sky and sighed, then looked down at Li Chengqian and said: "Qian'er, you have another plan, can you tell it so that everyone can listen?"
"Martial arts competition!"
Li Chengqian spit out these two words.
After everyone heard this, they were all puzzled.
Only Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness, you mean to imitate the form of the imperial examination and hold a martial arts examination nationwide?"
"That's right. "
"It's martial arts."
Li Chengqian said: "The military generals of the Tang Dynasty are different from the civil servants."
"Because of the imperial examinations, there was no obvious gap among the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty."
"At the very least, Master Changsun's disciples, Master Wei's disciples, Master Fang's disciples, and even Master Du Ruhui's disciples are now beginning to rise."
"That's why we have time to build a college to slowly cultivate talents..."
Li Chengqian faced Li Shimin and said: "However, military generals are different from civil servants."
"As the saying goes, if the earthen jar is not broken away from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in battle."
"Take Uncle Qin as an example. The battles in his early years hollowed out Uncle Qin's body."
"So much so that after the Great War in Mobei, Uncle Qin has been lying on his bed, unable to even go to court."
"And Uncle Qin is unreasonable. Many of the powerful generals who followed my father either died on the battlefield or died of illness at home."
"So much so that now, the ranks of military generals in the Tang Dynasty are seriously lacking."
Li Chengqian pointed to himself and said: "My son is seventeen years old this year, my cousin is twenty, Huai Liang is twenty-one, and my cousin is twenty-four."
"However, based on this calculation, among the ranks of military generals, the youngest one is General Su Dingfang Su."
"But he is already as old as my father this year and will soon be forty years old."
"And maybe my father can figure out how much difference there is?"
Who can’t understand such simple addition and subtraction?
It's nothing more than taking Su Dingfang's age of thirty-seven and subtracting Gao Zhixing's age of twenty-four.
But after doing this calculation, Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded.
In fact, if it weren't for the matter between Liu Qi and Feng Guangyao, he himself wouldn't have noticed it.
His own ranks of generals were exactly one generation behind.
And this question
It's a shame that they discovered it early.
If it were later, it would be when Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne.
Who are the people around him?
They are all a group of veterans who are almost seventy years old.
If you expect a group of seventy-year-olds to fight a war, what the hell is that?
Just pack up, go home and go to bed...
So at this moment, Li Shimin truly realized how dangerous this problem was.
After all, he has been on the battlefield.
He also knows that if there is a ten-year age difference, there will be a big gap between the veteran players and the new players.
The most obvious one is the issue of physical strength.
People can turn around for twelve hours to study strategic policies.
But if you stay around for twelve hours, I'm afraid your fate will be left in the Chinese military tent.
Li Shimin said bluntly: "It seems that this matter cannot be delayed."
"That's right."
Li Chengqian said: "Everyone can see the problem here, but no one has said anything about it."
"The Tang Dynasty is really at a time when it is short of talents."
"After all, in the early years, the internal strife in the Tang Dynasty was really serious."
"So now we must solve the problem of the age gap among military officers."
"Then, we will study the training of generals and other matters."
Li Chengqian once again raised his hand to Li Shimin and said: "My son, I asked for orders, and my father issued an edict to recruit military masters and martial arts masters across the country."
"This will be used to select military commanders and vanguards for our Tang Dynasty to fill the vacancies."
And as soon as he said these words.
Above the court, Gao Zhixing, Changsun Chong, Cheng Huailiang, and Yuchi Baolin also bowed down one after another.
Everyone looked straight at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an edict and recruit wise men to fill the vacancies in the court..."
Look at these young people.
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.
I have a son of my own. In a matter of seconds, at least he has now gathered his own small team.
When the other ministers saw this scene, a group of them began to bow down and begged Li Shimin to issue an edict from the emperor to recruit wise men.
Of course.
This is the effect Li Shimin wants.
So, he just hesitated for a moment and then said directly: "Okay, okay."
"Since everyone begs me like this, I won't refute everyone's face."
Li Shimin said: "Tomorrow, I will issue an edict to recruit talents across the country."
After these words were spoken, everyone bowed down again: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Shimin stood up slowly and said, "I won't leave the court today. I would like to entertain you all in the palace, okay?"
When the emperor invites you to dinner, how can you refuse?
There are no such stupid people here...
So on this day, Li Shimin held a banquet for all the ministers in the Ganlu Hall.
Moreover, Li Yuan who was in Da'an Palace and the old ministers who were idle at home were also invited.
It was also what Li Chengqian said today that reminded Li Shimin of his past battles on the battlefield.
At that time, Datang was not wealthy.
Even in those troubled times, Datang was inconspicuous at all.
It was only later, after it became famous little by little, that people began to come to vote for me.
Otherwise, in the early days, Li Yuan would only have the people from the old Li family to help them.
Li Yuan also saw Li Shimin's thoughts.
He had a smile on his face throughout the audience and reminisced about the past with everyone.
Everyone was very happy on this day.
Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao also performed an impromptu sword dance for everyone to entertain.
When Li Chengqian and other young people saw these old guys having so much fun, they also started to laugh along with them.
From time to time, people would come up and join in the fun, making the scene extremely cheerful...
