Wen Yi continued: "There is no limit to the number of elders in the Council of Elders, but the functions of the Great, Second, and Third Elders are fixed, and the rest of the elders will choose members over 40 years old who have contributed to the royal family. The Great Elder is in charge of the power of the ancestral hall, and anyone in the clan who makes a mistake can be punished, including the emperor; The second elder is in charge of the royal property, and in the future, the emperor can only spend the treasury of the internal affairs department, but cannot use the royal property, which is separated from the state taxes, and a person with financial ability is required to take on this duty to earn enough wealth for the royal family; The Three Elders were in charge of the safety of the royal family, and all the Imperial Guards were under his command. In order to show our sincerity, my uncle would like to ask my uncle to serve as the first third elder. ”

Li Jiancheng smiled: "I'm in charge of the Royal Forest Army? Aren't you afraid that I'll follow your example and force the palace again? ”

Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and touched it with him and said, "I haven't finished talking yet, you will definitely not think like this after listening to it." ”

After the two raised their glasses and drank wine, Wenyi said: "The others are honorary elders, mainly responsible for the education and management of the descendants of the royal family. In the future, the position of crown prince will no longer be established, and all descendants of the royal family will have the right to change the throne. Including Chengdao, Chengde, Chengye, Chengluan and others. ”

Li Jiancheng was surprised at this time, and couldn't help asking, "Second brother, are you sure?" If they also have the right to inherit, what's the point of you fighting for the throne? ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "If I don't fight, will you keep your hand on Cheng Qian?" Would you make that decision? ”

Li Jiancheng was silent, and asked himself if he would definitely not do this, even if he didn't kill them all, he wouldn't let them have the same right to inherit the throne as his son. Li Jiancheng silently toasted Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji also calmed down at this time, and accompanied the two brothers to make a glass of wine together.

"This is the main reason why we have established the Council of Elders, and the throne will only pass to those who are capable, not to those with big fists. It is their fathers who are responsible for supervising it, so that the occurrence of armed power struggles can be completely eliminated. And even if you don't get the throne, you can still hold office in the Presbyterian Church. ”

Li Jiancheng thought for a long time and couldn't help but smile: "Good strategy, I am the third elder, and I have the right to inherit the throne, if I want to make trouble, it will be of great significance, after all, my son is likely to become the next emperor." And if Chengdao wants to make trouble, as a father, I will also consider whether it will affect Chengde's inheritance. Then there is no other way to think about it than to be more honest than talent. If Cheng Qian can't become an elder, the next emperor can still become an elder. Second brother, you gave up the interests of the small family passed on from your father to your son, but in exchange for the stability of everyone in the clan. The eldest brother had to say: What courage! Come, drink this cup full! ”

Li Shimin toasted with him before saying: "It's not that I have the courage, but after experiencing this incident, I am also very annoyed, for fear that Cheng Qian and Xiao Tai will also make such a move." And, throughout history, which dynasty will not be ruined at the hands of unqualified heirs? Only by breaking the tradition of selecting the virtuous can we do it, and to hell with what is the long and not the young, and the heirs and not the young! They are all the heirs of our Li family, why should they be treated differently? Only truly capable people can ensure that our Li family's country will last forever! ”

After saying that, he laughed heroically. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were deeply infected, and the three brothers looked at each other and laughed, laughing so freely and easily. All the grudges seem to have disappeared at this moment...

The three brothers drank wine even more happily after putting aside their suspicions, and the literary incarnation of Xiao Er continued to pour wine and serve the three elders attentively, and soon there were more than a dozen jars piled up in the corner... Helping the drunken three people to the bed, Wenyi finally laughed easily. The bloody succession to the throne will never again appear in the history of China! No matter which dynasty will rise in the future, the clan system will definitely be passed on! Because no father wants to see his sons kill each other for the sake of imperial power!

At noon the next day, the three brothers Li Jiancheng got up. The three agreed that everything would wait for Li Shimin to ascend the throne before starting to unfold, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji asked Li Shimin to go back and pass a message to his family: "My brother has abandoned his previous suspicions, everything is fine, but it is inconvenient to show up now, please don't worry." ”

Li Shimin readily agreed, and then returned to Chang'an. The new official has taken office three times, and the official business to deal with has been piled up, and it is completely impossible for him to imagine that he is as happy as last night.

Wenyi was originally going to go back to Chang'an with Li Shimin, but he was stopped by Li Jiancheng and asked Wenyi to take them to visit the base. I wasn't in that mood before, but now I'm back together with Li Shimin, and I'm in a very comfortable mood, and I have to have a good look at what this mysterious base is.

The literary incarnation tour guide began to lead these two bigwigs to visit the base... Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were in a good mood after losing the pressure of fighting for the throne, not only mixed in the headquarters for a few days, but also went to the black pine forest base to visit for half a month, and drove the prototype all day long in the sky for all kinds of waves! made literature and art worried for several days, if something happened to them at this time, Li Shimin had to pinch him! Fortunately, the quality of these prototypes is trustworthy!

It wasn't until the two brothers went to Hainan that they stopped, and the unique scenery of Hainan instantly captured the bodies and minds of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji! After living for a few days, they asked Wenyi to bring all their families over, anyway, they were also under house arrest before Li Shimin ascended the throne, it is better for the whole family to come to Hainan, the scenery is good and far away from the mainland, it is really a perfect escape from the world!

Literature and art can't be done, after telling Li Shimin, Li Shimin is also very big, at this time, if Li Jiancheng's family is all missing, then the crime of killing his brother will definitely not be able to escape. But this is the first time that his eldest brother has begged him since their brother improved their relationship, and it is not good not to agree. When he was worried, the gentle and virtuous eldest grandson walked in, asked Li Shimin the reason for his headache, and said with a slight smile: "This matter is simple, why is my husband worried." ”

As soon as Li Shimin heard this, he knew that his daughter-in-law had an idea and hurriedly asked for advice, and the eldest grandson said: "Now the eldest sister is taking care of the eldest sister-in-law and others, as long as the eldest sister takes them out, can't you?" It can also show your magnanimity. ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he laughed fiercely on the face of the eldest grandson: "Mrs. Zhenxian is also a helper!" Xiaoyi, you go and do what your uncle says, and I'll leave this matter to you. The eldest grandson hammered Li Shimin angrily, and hurriedly returned to the back hall after taking a look at the literature and art of counting ants on the side.

After Wenyi saw Princess Pingyang, he explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail. Princess Pingyang said: "Since it is a request for completion, I will definitely do it, but I want to bring these five hundred personal guards with me." ”
