"Your Majesty, you won't think about it anymore?"

Taipingfang, in the palace of the king of Qi.

Fang Xuanling, who had retired for a long time, asked with surprise on his face, in the first half of his life, he never thought that he would retire one day, and all the officials in the entire Datang Dynasty never thought that he would retire.

Many officials, their fate is actually the same, the fate of officials directly under the imperial court is to work until they are old, until they can no longer work, and they will only submit their resignations when they are seriously ill.

The fate of foreign officials is another, but basically it is very different, one is sick and dies in office, and the other is seriously ill and asks the court to resign.

But generally speaking, there are not many officials who resign, especially foreign officials, because the emperor can't see it, and they still expect the day when their health will get better, and then drag it on, and it will come to the point of dying.

This Qi Wangfu was designed and built by Li Yuanji himself twenty years ago, and this place was once Gaozu Li Yuan's favorite place to come, there is heating, it is not cold in winter, it is not hot in summer, and it is located in Taipingfang, where Li Yuan can get everything he wants, and forget those troubles for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

Fang Xuanling is also old, from middle age, to old age, and the year of retirement at home has made him see a different scene.

From time to time, I still sigh that I was so stupid back then, but fortunately there is a retirement system, so that I can enjoy life in the last period of my life, and not worry about those annoying things.

Power?

It's gone, it's gone, the moment he retires.

But they have another kind of power, and if they are in a good mood, they can go to the academy and give a lecture on their lives, their attitudes, methods, and ideas for handling some incidents.

The imperial court has specially set up a maintenance department, and the funds come from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this department is responsible for revolving around these old comrades, sending some gifts to care for the old comrades during the New Year's holidays.

Even Fang Xuanling, a celebrity in front of the emperor, resigned willingly, what opinions did the people below dare to have? I can only be so aggrieved that I can't pack up my things and go home.

Those whose level is not enough are naturally not within the scope of responsibility of the Support Department, but they can receive a sum of money every month, which is not much, only half of their normal salary, and there is no problem in spending the rest of their lives.

"What to consider? What else do I have to think about? Li Yuanji smiled slightly, lying on the rocking chair, with a posture that all major events in the world have nothing to do with me.

"That's the throne!" Fang Xuanling sighed and said helplessly: "When the old minister wanted to retire last year, he was very reluctant in his heart, but now he is also downbeat, and it is good to retire, he has been busy all his life, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to rest, I am afraid that he will not have a chance." ”

"I never thought of sitting on this emperor, when I was a child, I always liked to follow my eldest brother, because the eldest brother is more humane than the second brother, no matter what, the eldest brother at least will not do anything to my younger brother." Li Yuanji looked into the distance and said lightly.

These reasons may be made up, but in Li Yuanji's own opinion, this is the case, did Li Yuanji have ambitions in the past?

Yes, but his ambition did not have a chance to be released, and then he waited for himself.

Li Yuanji can be very sure that he has no ambitions, and his original intention is just to be a carefree, heartless, and reckless idle king.

Isn't it good not to worry about those political affairs, not to participate in those palace fights that are deceitful, to be a beautiful man quietly, and to hug left and right?

Until now, Li Yuanji still has this mentality.

It has been nineteen years since he was the emperor, and Datang has undergone a huge change under his hands, to put it mildly, with Datang's current ability, it is no problem to beat the whole world, although the current Datang has not yet fully developed, but other countries are now like a newborn baby, and they have no ability to resist at all.

But even so, even if he will become the first emperor of the ages, Li Yuanji still can't be happy, yes, for nineteen years, what has been hidden in Li Yuanji's heart has always been those three words, unhappy.

Some people will say hypocrisy, others will say pretending, but so what? Others don't know what's going on in their hearts.

"One of the things I regret the most in my life is that I didn't tell my eldest brother the whole thing back then, which I owe him." Li Yuanji continued.

Later, Li Yuanji thought about it for a long time, and thought a lot, and with the help of the memory of this body, he recalled all kinds of pictures in the past.

Then, Li Yuanji gave his fourth son and the queen's concubine to the eldest brother Li Jiancheng, since the matter has been completed, the ending is irrevocable, Li Yuanji can only use this way to make up for his regrets, no matter what, the eldest brother Li Jiancheng can be regarded as having descendants in this world.

As for the second brother Li Shimin, Li Yuanji also chose to succeed a prince to him, but this succession was not a concubine, but a concubine born by Li Yuanji and Guanyin.

History is so amazing, it's such a coincidence.

"The past is gone, the things of the past, right and wrong, right and wrong, looking to the future, who can tell whether it is right or wrong? The old man is gone, everything is fate! Fang Xuanling sighed, smiled wryly and shook his head.

Now he doesn't know how to judge this matter, Fang Xuanling will go to Li Shimin's tomb every year to sweep incense, and every year he will go to chat with him and talk about the changes in Datang over the years.

Li Yuanji knew these things, but he didn't stop them, and even when there was no one in private, Li Yuanji would go to the graves of his two elder brothers to offer incense, although it was a bit contrived, but the fight between brothers, he really didn't want to see it.

Li Yuanji's series of means have brought Datang to this point, and Li Yuanji has conquered all officials and people, including Fang Xuanling.

Everyone believes that except for Li Yuanji, there is no one in this world who can lead them to this point, whether it is Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince who died unexpectedly, or Li Shimin, the Tang Wuzong who was overthrown, no one can do this.

Li Shimin did not inherit the name of Tang Taizong in history, because the reign was too short, and there was no merit, but the continuous famine in the country, the displacement of the people, and the usurpation of the throne obtained by killing his brother, so both the people and the officialdom did not have a high evaluation of it.

And what does the calendar represent?

Exploding without relatives and killing innocents.

These eight characters are the explanation of the calendar characters in the nickname, and it is undoubtedly very appropriate to use eight words to explain the two years of Li Shimin's reign in this era.

But in the end, he was pressed down by Li Yuanji, and directly decided to use Tang Wuzong as Li Shimin's nickname, and Li Yuanji's explanation for this is that in the founding war, Li Shimin did make great efforts in military affairs, which is meritorious.

Although he is also at fault, but at least his superficial brother is still there, and he has become an emperor, if he gives his brother such a nickname but is indifferent, how should the world evaluate him?

"Yes, yes or no, everything is over, you have to look forward, don't you?" Li Yuanji smiled and said.
