Junker smiled and said: "The prince has a good understanding of people, and the officials he has promoted to the East Palace are all outstanding, and they will definitely become the mainstay of the court in the future.

"Old guys like us are really guilty of occupying empty positions and not being able to serve the country!"

"Uncle, please don't say that," the prince said hurriedly. "For a meritorious old minister like you, who has shed blood and sweat for the country, my father and I will always treat him kindly."

After a while of hesitation, everyone went back to the city. The prince wanted to invite Rong An to the palace for a walk, but Rong An looked embarrassed, "No, right? The emperor has approved my marriage leave..."

"You!" The prince smiled and nodded, "Can't you come to help my cousin?"

"I am a martial artist..." Rong An became more and more embarrassed, "If you ask me to fight with someone or compete with someone in martial arts, that's fine, but if you ask me to give advice... it's too difficult to be a human being."

The prince laughed and left.

Not long after, Princess Jingyang and Jun Ke were summoned to the palace by Emperor Wenchang.

Emperor Wenchang looked relaxed. Also present were Taishi Xu and several other senior officials in the court.

Emperor Wenchang said with a smile: "My dear friends, everyone knows that I will abdicate on the Shangsi Festival. Ye'er has been in charge of the government for some time. What do you think?"

Taishi Xu, as the representative of the ministers, went out and said: "Your Majesty has a bright eye, the prince is smart and capable, and handles the government affairs with ease. No one in the government is dissatisfied."

Emperor Wenchang nodded, "I am old, my body is useless, and sometimes my brain is not strong enough. I personally think that passing the throne to the prince is the right choice."

The ministers hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is too modest."

"It's not that I want to be lazy," Emperor Wenchang shook his head, "I don't have much time left, and I also want to take it easy, so I'll leave the heavy responsibility on my shoulders to the prince.

“It’s my selfish motives that keep withholding the information from the gentlemen.

"I cannot be where I am today without your help, so I always want to keep you until the day I abdicate."

After a pause, he added: "I have already made arrangements for the prince, and he will not hold you hostage.

"As for whether you stay in the capital or return to your hometown in the future, it is your choice.

"But no matter what, the imperial court's preferential treatment for you will not be cut off. Neither I nor the prince will colden the hearts of the heroes."

Thank you, all ministers.

Emperor Wenchang waved his hand, "I invite you here today because I want to talk to you casually. You don't have to be so formal."

After saying that, someone brought the chairs over and asked everyone to sit down.

After chatting for an hour, several veterans were left to enjoy a palace banquet in the palace, and then someone was sent to send them back, leaving the eldest princess Jingyang and his wife alone.

Emperor Wenchang already had a tired look on his face, but when he looked at Princess Jingyang and his wife, his eyes were particularly gentle, "Jingyang, in a blink of an eye, our brothers and sisters are all old..."

Princess Jingyang felt quite unhappy, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs, "Brother Emperor...you are good at protecting your dragon body!"

"Alas," Emperor Wenchang sighed, "When my manpower is exhausted, my life span cannot be controlled by myself... Let's not talk about this anymore. After the prince ascends the throne, you can leave if you want. If your heart is not here, You can’t stay even if you stay.

"But I hope that whenever you go to a place, you will remember to write me a letter and tell me about the customs and customs there, so that I can go with you.

"The whole world of the Great Zhou belongs to me, but it is a great pity that I have not been able to travel throughout the territory of the Great Zhou." (End of this chapter)
