In the eyes of all the ministers and workers, the prince is a good person. Whether he is in charge of the country or in charge of government affairs, as long as there are few mistakes, the prince pretends not to see them and gives everyone plenty of time to correct them.

As the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Cen Wen himself has experienced this point. There are many documents that have been exchanged between the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the Eastern Palace, and there are inevitably many loopholes in the black and white texts. However, there has been no problem with the relationship. This time, my younger brother was defeated and the emperor divided the rights of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat into two. This is a warning to himself.

There are two things to be grateful for. The first is that the emperor has three parts of affection for King Wu and himself. The second is that he has picked his younger brother from the aristocratic family network. If everything is exposed to the emperor, even if the Bodhisattva appears, they will not be able to protect them.

Logically speaking, the officials who were listening to Dali Temple today were headed by himself, the prime minister of the Secretariat. When the prince was hearing the case, he should be the first person to ask for advice when closing the case. However, until the end, the prince did not ask a question. Gan Gang knew about this weathered case by arbitrarily, which made Cen Wenben feel very embarrassed.

Of course, the prince did not ask Dou Kuan and Ma Zhou. One of them was the confidant of the Eastern Palace and the other had a good relationship with the prince. He did not know how to make any decisions about this, and everything seemed so natural, which made Cen Wenben, who was already shameless, feel even more uncomfortable.

The next day, in Chengqing Palace, the emperor was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's ability to deal with the dispute between Xiao and Xie so quickly. Although the power of the Jiangzuo clan was not as powerful as before and could no longer control the country and the country, the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and the court could still use them in the future, so he specifically instructed Li Chengqian and then summoned Xiao Yu.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the people in power were basically blood-related relatives, which was the same as last year's restriction of intermarriage from aristocratic families. Before Li Shimin ascended the throne, he still knew the reason why Xiao Yu had done such a wrong thing in the court and had not yet killed him.

Now he has retired and is unemployed in his hometown. Although he has made some minor mistakes, he has nothing to do with the big festival. Therefore, Li Shimin is willing to let the prince open his mouth when he is trying the case and win the reputation of treating heroes well.

"Shi Wen, you have been away from court in the past few years. Whenever the state is in decisive, I always think of you. The wind knows the strong grass, and the slander knows the sincere ministers! If you hadn't had a romantic incident in Lanling this time, we monarch and ministers wouldn't know what time we would meet again!"

The emperor's smile was very sincere, and there were many requests to care about the past in his words, which moved Xiao Yu very much. Because of his reason, Xiao's reputation was already in Chang'an. The emperor was still so concerned about his old love, which shows how correct his choice was.

When Xiao Yu thought of this, he bowed his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, you are old and affectionate. Although I am far away in Lanling, I am thinking of you all the time. In recent years, under the rule of Your Majesty, the country's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and I am so prosperous every year. The old me is so happy to see this!"

When he was in the prefecture, Xiao Yu did not understand why the three words "knowing the current affairs" meant. From being named Prince of Xin'an at the age of nine to becoming Duke of Song in Tang, Xiao Yu's career was smooth and smooth. He never suffered a trace of hardships. Everything was natural.

In addition, his relationship with Li Yuan and his son is very close to each other, and what others are hard to say or dare not say is not a problem. Therefore, over time, he has developed an arrogant and domineering personality.

But after years of retirement, Xiao Yu also experienced what the world is and what the face of a villain is. Those guys who used to see him and see his own father have changed their attitudes. Power is really a powerful tool to make people bow down.

But as he gets older, his desire for career has faded. He no longer has the competitive spirit of the past. He can just live through some things!

"Shi Wen, yesterday the crown prince gave me a chapter. The content of the memorial said that you are old and sick, and there is not much future. Please restore your title as Duke Song because of your hard work in the past. You will transfer all your other two sons back to Beijing, Xiao Kai of Jin was the doctor of the Yu tribe, and Xiao Yue was the doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

Let your family be reunited and enjoy the family happiness of family members. I have just approved it and took the prince to the Secretariat to issue an imperial edict. When there is nothing to do in the future, I will often come to the palace to talk with me!"

Some people's favors are smooth, Li Chengqian is the case, and the emperor is the same. Of course, the father and son are not only doing this for the sake of an old man and useless Xiao Yu, but also telling the civil and military officials in the court with their actions that as long as they are loyal to the Li family and work for the court, the Li Tang royal family will not treat everyone unfairly.

"Old minister Xiao Yu thanked Your Majesty for your kindness. Your Majesty's grace to you. Even if you are crushed to pieces, you can't repay it. Your Majesty." As he spoke, Xiao Yu's turbid eyes gradually became wet, and he leaned over to the ground and saluted the emperor repeatedly.

"Okay, Shi Wen, we have a deep friendship with the king and the subject, and we know each other deeply. Why do we say so many polite words? Come on, get up quickly!" Li Shimin smiled and stroked his hand, indicating that Xiao Yu would not have to be polite, just get up and sit back and reply.

After putting down the burden in his heart, Xiao Yu and the emperor had a more enjoyable chat. The two recalled the glorious years of their entrepreneurial period. From the rise of the army in Jinyang to the fierce battle of Guanzhong, from the Western Expedition of the Xue family to the pacification of the kings of Zhengxia, from the beginning of the ascension to the northern expedition of the Turks, the hardships during this period were not experienced by themselves, and they would not understand that they were in trouble.

The king and his ministers chatted for an afternoon as soon as they were happy. During dinner, Li Shimin specially ordered a sumptuous imperial banquet to entertain Xiao Yu. During the meal, they talked about family matters, and said that this was about Li Chengqian and his brothers.

In recent years, Xiao Yu has heard of some of the rebellious incidents between the court and the princes. In addition, Xiao Rui's reminder when he was about to come, Xiao Yu certainly understood why the emperor was embarrassed.

After thinking for a while, after weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, as a descendant of the Tian family, who can be unmoved by the great throne? The princes' dissatisfaction with the Eastern Palace has nothing to do with how your throne is. No matter who you pass the great throne to in the future, you will feel uncomfortable if you can't get it, so you don't have to worry about it."

"To say something taboo, the old minister used to be particularly optimistic about the King of Wei because he was wise and kind, and was a model among the children of the royal family in a peaceful and prosperous era, and a talented and beautiful jade needed to govern the world.

But that day, after drinking with the prince in the Dali Temple prison, the old minister realized that he had thought it was wrong. The Tang Dynasty had only been established for more than 20 years. Although it had regained people's hearts, there were many people who miss the previous dynasty or wanted to make profits from it. I believe that Your Majesty also knew this."

"So, when choosing a crown prince, you must choose a prince who can suppress this civil and military officials and a million troops. On the one hand, it will consolidate the royal family and on the other hand, it will shock all evil people. The crown prince Cheng Qianyun Wenyun and the military are the first heir of the royal family. Although his personality is more stubborn, he is undoubtedly the best candidate.

I believe that when His Majesty was appointed as the crown prince in the first year of Zhenguan, he thought so. After so many years of experience, he has a deep prestige in the court. The old minister is so impressed by His Majesty's far-sightedness!"

In Li Shimin's impression, Xiao Yu rarely speaks good things, and most of the time he will choose people's shortcomings and talk about things. Now his evaluation of Gao Ming is so high that it means that the choice was correct. As for other princes, just as he said, just live by the way, after all, the stable inheritance of the country is the most important.

"Shi Wen, you are right. Gao Ming is good at everything. He is too stubborn and sometimes he is prone to getting stubborn. This makes me feel a headache sometimes, and I don't know who he is following!"

"Your Majesty, this old minister knows that this was the case when Your Majesty was the King of Qin. When the Hulao Pass Battle, everyone said they should avoid the edge of the situation, but your Majesty did not agree with it. But now when I look back, if you don't have your Majesty's stubborn character, how could I have the foundation of my Tang Dynasty today!"...
