These words stirred the emotions of both civil and military officials present.

This is a get-out-of-jail-free card! With this, their descendants will have a guarantee of safety!

Not far away, Du He was looking at her old man with a blank expression!

"Dad! What are you doing?"

At this moment, Du Ruhui was rolling up his sleeves, trying to make his long robe look less cumbersome!

"What for? To participate in the autumn hunt, of course! I'm determined to get my hands on that get-out-of-jail-free card today!"

Upon hearing this, Du He couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly, and then he hesitated before speaking:

"Father! Father! This is a hunt! You, a civil official, shouldn't go and join the fun! With so many military generals around, your chances of winning are slim!"

Upon hearing this, Du Ruhui immediately became displeased.

"What are you saying? You look down on your father? I participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and I cut down several soldiers with a single stroke of my sword!"

"Dad! Weren't those all seriously injured by General Qin Qiong? You're just picking up the scraps!" Du He couldn't help but purse her lips and mutter under her breath.

Seeing his own brat expose him so mercilessly, even Du Ruhui, an old man, felt a little embarrassed.

He was furious and embarrassed, and said:

"You unfilial son! I'm your father! How dare you speak to your father like that? Get out of my way and stop getting in my way!"

Seemingly provoked, Du Ruhui, the prime minister of the dynasty, also uttered a rare swear word.

……

When Du Ruhui rode his horse and joined the autumn hunt, carrying a bow, Yuchi Gong couldn't help but tease him:

"Oh! Isn't this Lord Du? Judging by your attire, are you going to participate in the autumn hunt? Do you know how to use a bow?"

Hearing Yuchi Gong's teasing, the other military officers couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Yes, Lord Du, this is clearly a job for us military officers. What are you, a civil official, doing getting involved?"

This time it was Cheng Yaojin who spoke, but Du Ruhui didn't care at all when he heard their teasing.

They all came from the Qin Prince's Mansion, so even though they were a group of military officers, they got along quite well and often teased each other.

"Hmph! What do you know? Confucianism teaches the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and archery is one of them. Do you really think I am a weak scholar who can't even kill a chicken?"

"When Xue Wanche besieged the Prince of Qin's mansion, my sword had seen blood!"

Seeing Du Ruhui's smug look, Xue Wanche, a member of the military ranks, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

If he remembered correctly, during the siege of the Prince of Qin's mansion, there was a bastard who would relentlessly finish off the wounded and occasionally launch sneak attacks; his fighting style was extremely underhanded.

If he hadn't been held back by Qin Qiong, he would have chopped that bastard to pieces long ago.

Moreover, he remembered that he wasn't the only one who did this back then.

Sure enough, at that moment, another figure appeared in everyone's sight, riding a horse and carrying a bow.

"Hahahaha! Old Du, you weren't the only one killing enemies back then! I killed just as many, if not more, than you!"

The visitor was none other than Fang Xuanling.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xue Wanche, a member of the military ranks, couldn't help but put one hand to his forehead.

It's unbelievable that these two shameless guys were actually prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is doomed!

When Cheng Yaojin and the other former subordinates of the Prince of Qin's mansion saw the newcomers, they couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! Old Fang's here too! That's great, it's been so long since we went horseback hunting together!"

Upon hearing this, the former subordinates of the Prince of Qin's mansion couldn't help but show a look of nostalgia.

Back when they followed His Highness the King of Qin in conquering the world, they were together every day, and would often ride horses and hunt together.

Although everyone has now become an important official in the court, the feelings we had for each other have only grown stronger.

It is said that there is a distinction between civil and military officials, but this did not hold true during the Zhenguan era. Li Shimin did not question these distinctions at all.

Besides Li Shimin's trust, there was also Li Shimin's absolute confidence in his own abilities.

His achievements overshadowed his master?

That was used to describe himself; whose achievements in the entire Tang Dynasty could rival his?

the other side.

Li Chengqian rode his warhorse with imposing grandeur, escorted by his two generals, Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing.

Even Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at this scene.

As an emperor, he had an instinctive sensitivity to talent.

He had met Xue Rengui before and he was definitely a great general. Why is there another person now?

And judging from his appearance, he seems to be another formidable general.

Upon hearing his father's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing behind him and said with a smile:

"You don't need to follow me later. Since the old man has offered such a reward as a pardon, our Eastern Palace naturally cannot let it go."

The old man's generals are getting old; it's time to show them the skills of the Crown Prince's generals!

Upon hearing this, Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing couldn't help but exchange a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness! This pardon must belong to the Crown Prince!"

Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled.

Is Xue Rengui, who famously pacified the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, joking with you?

In terms of archery skills, there are probably not many generals in the entire court who can rival him!

Li Chengqian's voice was not quiet, and all the military generals not far away, including Li Shimin at the front, could hear him clearly.

Li Shimin couldn't help but purse his lips and look at Li Chengqian, saying:

"You unfilial son, what arrogance you have! Do you really think all the generals of my Great Tang Dynasty are incompetent fools?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin, who was standing nearby, quickly echoed:

"Exactly! Exactly! Your Highness underestimates us too much. I, Old Cheng, may not be able to hit the bullseye every time, but I can certainly hit the target seven out of ten times!"

"That's right! I hit the target eight out of ten times!"

"Hey! You big black guy, are you out of your mind? I'm talking to His Highness the Crown Prince, and you're already trying to compete with me!"

However, Yuchi Gong merely glanced at him disdainfully and said:

"I'm telling the truth. Don't believe me, Fatty Cheng? Let's have a competition!"

"Let's compete! Do you think I'd be afraid of a big black guy like you?"

They were originally talking about Li Chengqian's affairs, but in the middle of the conversation, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong started arguing.

Upon seeing this, Li Shimin was speechless.

Those two idiots!

Just then, Li Chengqian spoke.

"I don't mean to look down on you uncles and elders, but I feel that this world ultimately belongs to the young."

As the saying goes, "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward, and the front waves are swept away and killed on the beach!"

"Wow! Your Highness, you have quite the nerve. Just those two brats behind you?"

"They're just two greenhorn kids. We uncles and elders are all seasoned veterans!"

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, the group of military officers immediately became displeased.

Although they are not young anymore, they are not so old that they can't hold a knife!
