Li Shimin's words had already hinted at what they were hinting at.
Put it nicely.
Li Shimin told them that one day in the future, they would feel that they could no longer keep up with the times.
And he felt that he could no longer assist the monarch to better manage the world.
Then seize the opportunity to step back and make way for young people.
To put it harshly.
That was Li Shimin reminding them.
Seize the time to train new people and seize the time to give up your position.
Then find a suitable opportunity to retire and return home, without causing trouble to the new monarch.
But no matter how he said it, Li Shimin was thinking about them.
These old brothers of Li Shimin were all heroes in the founding of the country.
If Li Shimin is still here and he is still the emperor, then naturally there will be no problems.
But if Li Shimin is no longer here, they will naturally not be here either.
After all, the saying that superior merit overwhelms the master has been around since ancient times.
The influence of these founding heroes in some aspects is even greater than that of the new king Li Chengqian.
Since the influence of the monarch is not comparable to that of his ministers, how can the monarch manage the world well?
Li Shimin did not kill the hero, but it did not mean that he would not pave the way for his children.
And what he said at this moment also reminded everyone.
Let them see the situation clearly for themselves and not go against the general trend of the world.
And these people present are all the smartest people in the world. How could they not understand what Li Shimin meant?
Cheng Yaojin was the first to speak.
Just listen to him say: "Hey, the scene your Majesty described is really what I, old Cheng, want."
"If I really can have a bowl of tea and a bowl of wine in the future."
"It is simply a blessing in life to accompany Your Majesty to travel in the mountains and have a good look at the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty."
"well……"
Cheng Yaojin pretended to sigh and said: "
It seems that I, Old Cheng, need to speed up and train a successor quickly, let him take over the mess of Jinwu Guard, and then go to work as a guard for Your Majesty."
"You, Old Cheng, are unreliable."
"It's better that I stay by your side and watch over you."
Duan Zhixuan also said: "Your Majesty, please wait for me. I will leave the messy things of the Shenwu Army to others as soon as possible, and then accompany you to go sightseeing."
"I think your Majesty will also welcome you, right?"
"After all, you probably won't be used to it without me being by your side and being your lackey."
"Hey!"
"You two are a loser and the other is a guard, so what are we going to do?"
Yuchi Jingde stood up, glared and said: "We are His Majesty's royal guards, you two should do what you are supposed to do. I, Yuchi, still have to do the guarding!"
"Hey!"
"You old Yuchi!"
"You still want to rob me of being a guard?"
Cheng Yaojin also stared and said: "I, old Cheng, have let you go all my life, and I can't let you go no matter what I say this time!"
These two people seemed to want to fight at this moment.
But no one around them came to stop them, most of them were laughing at the two people's performance.
Anyone can see that they are expressing their loyalty to Li Shimin in disguise and expressing their wishes.
They will not occupy military power and refuse to let it go, nor will they cause trouble to Li Chengqian.
But the military attachés had to tell them what was said, and the surrounding civil servants were a little bit unable to get in their words.
Just when Changsun Wuji wanted to speak, he said that he was also willing to go sightseeing with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin suddenly said: "You guys, don't be anxious."
"For many years, you have been in charge of the center of the imperial court."
"You are even more familiar with things everywhere than I am."
"So, please do your best to help me think about things in the court."
"When the younger generation grows up and is able to take on important responsibilities, it won't be too late for you to come back to me."
It is true that Li Shimin wants to abdicate.
But naturally he also has to consider his son's future.
Li Chengqian's political ability is indeed good, but it is only good. ??
In some aspects, he is still a little immature and naive.
Therefore, Li Shimin still felt uneasy and just threw all the responsibilities to him.
It is still necessary to leave Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other capable and intelligent civil servants to assist Li Chengqian.
When several people heard Li Shimin's words, they looked at each other.
In the end, they all had no choice but to respond, saying that they would definitely follow Li Shimin's instructions and assist Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin saw this and nodded with satisfaction.
"okay!"
"It's almost time."
"Come with me for a walk outside."
After saying this, Li Shimin stepped out first.
All the ministers also followed him and walked out together.
At this moment.
The square in front of Ganlu Hall was extremely lively.
On one side are various entertainment projects that are suitable for male officials, such as pot throwing, archery, poetry recitation, hand talks, and tea tasting.
The other is an entertainment project that displays various charms such as hammer balls, pot throwing, illustrations, and spelling to reflect the mood of the women.
In the middle is today’s banquet venue.
Thousands of lacquered wood floor tables and futons are neatly placed in the center of the square.
On each table there is a sign corresponding to the name of the official, ranked by official position.
, arranged from front to back.
As for the desk tables of the royal family members, they are naturally among them.
Only the desk table between Li Shimin and Empress Changsun was at the front and facing the direction of many courtiers.
Look at this scene.
Li Shimin couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and asked the people behind him: "Is our daughter-in-law's ability to host palace banquets pretty good?"
"That's natural."
Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "The Crown Princess is the most beautiful woman in the world. If Your Majesty hadn't taken the lead, I, Old Cheng, would have gone to the Su family to propose marriage!"
If anyone else had said this, I'm afraid Li Shimin would have had his ears slapped twice.
But the person who spoke happened to be the shameless Cheng Yaojin.
Moreover, this has been the way the two of them have gotten along for many years, and Li Shimin didn't feel too angry.
Instead, he said with a smile: "Stop bragging here, my in-laws don't look down on those rough guys in your family."
"What if you had brought your stupid sons to propose marriage."
"I'm afraid I can't get through the door, so I have to ask my in-laws to get a broom to fight it out!"
As long as official matters were not discussed, Li Shimin remained the same approachable and approachable His Highness the King of Qin.
He is also willing to mingle with his ministers.
They walked into the venue while chatting.
Looking around, I didn't see Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask Zhou Gonggong beside him: "Where is Gan'er? Why is he not present?"
"Well……"
When Eunuch Zhou heard this, he suddenly felt a little speechless.
"Might your Majesty have forgotten?"
"Have you asked Your Highness to guard the door to greet the officials?"
