Of course, the new generation of the Tang Dynasty has begun to grow up and has begun to enter the stage of history.
But how many have become famous?
Apart from Changsun Chong, Cheng Huailiang, Gao Zhixing, and Yuchi Baolin, who are the princes, 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, he's not even a gangster. At most, he just used 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 become old men chatting with teenagers.
He looked at Cheng Yaojin's graying temples and then at Li Jing's head full of white hair.
Thinking 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 me 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, "What do you mean, Your Highness, to imitate the form of the imperial examination and hold a martial arts examination nationwide?"
"That's right."
"It's Wu Ke."
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 starting 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 battle in Mobei, Uncle Qin has been lying on his bed and can't 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 Tang Dynasty's generals are seriously lacking."
Li Chengqian pointed at 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, if you calculate it this way, the youngest among the generals is General Su Dingfang Su."
"But he is already as old as my father this year and is about to turn forty."
"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.
Fortunately, they discovered this problem 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 had been on the battlefield.
He also knows that if there is a ten-year age difference, there will be a huge gap between the veterans and the new players.
The most obvious one is the issue of physical strength.
People can work continuously for twelve hours to study strategic policies.
But if you work continuously 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, Datang's internal strife was too serious."
"So now we must solve the problem of the age gap of military officers."
"Then, let's 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. My father issued an edict to recruit military masters and martial arts masters across the country."
"Use this 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 turned towards Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict to recruit wise men and fill the vacancies in the court..."
Look at this group of young people.
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.
My son has had a lot of success, at least now he has gathered a small team of his own.
When 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 nationwide."
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, "Don't leave the court today. I would like to entertain you all in the palace, okay?"
When the emperor invites me to dinner, is there any reason to 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 he became famous little by little, that people began to come to pitch for him.
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 laughed along with them.
From time to time, people would come up and join in the fun, making the scene extremely cheerful...
