"If you have anything to do, just give me instructions!" Li Zhi found that his father looked a little solemn, as if he was worried, which made him stand up again and say.

Li Shimin hesitated again at this time, and finally said, "Zhi Nu, when he was in Zhaoling two days ago, your husband and your uncle persuaded him to pay attention to his health. After all, my health has not been very good in the past two years, and I have to work hard on government affairs every day, which is very unfavorable for rest. I have also thought about it carefully these two days and felt that what they said makes sense. Moreover, you are already an adult, and it is time to take on the burden of the Tang Dynasty, so I decided to hand over some of the government affairs to you!"

"Uh? Isn't my son always taking on part of the government affairs?" Li Zhi was stunned when he heard Li Shimin's words.

"It's different. Although you took on part of the government affairs in the past, the final result still needs to be checked by your father. Even if I'm sick, Wuji and others need to help you handle it. But now I have decided to completely hand over the decision-making power to handle government affairs to you, and some important government affairs will be added, so the burden on you will become heavier in the future!" Li Shimin said with a kind face at this time. Although Li Zhi had also handled some government affairs in the past, the power was still in his hands, but now he has to hand over part of the power in his hands to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was no longer a child, and he immediately understood when he heard his father's words, but he said with some disconfidence: "Father, is your decision too early? Erchen... Erchen is not ready yet."

"What are you doing? Haven't you been helping me with government affairs in recent years? Although I have always said that you still need to learn, I am actually very satisfied with the government affairs you handle. Especially during this period, the government affairs you handle have rarely been changed, which means that you have the ability to handle some things alone." Li Shimin then spoke again and encouraged.

"But……"

Li Zhi originally wanted to say something, but at this time he was interrupted by Li Shimin and said, "Okay, that's the decision. I will discuss with your uncle and others tomorrow and give you some government affairs thoroughly. In addition, as a father, he is older and his energy is not as good as before, so he can't do some things himself. However, as an emperor, he doesn't need to handle everything himself without any details. I'm not doing this well. In the future, you have to learn to employ people and hand over some power to the people below, so that it will be easier, rather than being as tired as I am."

When Li Zhi heard that his father had even said the reasons for his poor health, he could not refuse. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, since the father trusts his son, I'll give it a try. But father, don't give me too important things. I'm worried that it will cause problems if I can't handle them well, and that will only cause trouble for my father."

"Haha, don't be afraid of making mistakes when doing things. When I first became the emperor, I made countless mistakes, but it is not scary to make mistakes. What is scary is that I am afraid of making mistakes and dare not do things. You must understand this principle. After all, if you make too many mistakes, you will naturally know how to avoid making mistakes!" Li Shimin laughed again when he heard his son's words.

Hearing his father's words, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel more confident, and finally nodded and agreed. Then Li Shimin asked about Li Zhi's life during this period, especially since he had been married to the Crown Princess for a while, but he had no children, which made Li Shimin a little worried.

The next morning, Li Shimin convened Changsun Wuji and others to discuss matters and decided to hand over part of the government affairs to Prince Li Zhi for handling, and some other powers were delegated to the three provinces and six ministries. In this way, Li Shimin's burden would be much lighter, at least he would no longer have to work hard day and night like before.

Changsun Wuji finally figured it out when he saw Li Shimin, which made him very excited. After the discussion, he immediately took a car to Li Xiu and told him the good news. After hearing this, Li Xiu finally felt relieved.

"Your Majesty finally figured it out. In addition, I also heard that several warlocks who had already entered the palace were driven out. Now we can finally feel at ease." Changsun Wuji said with a relaxed smile on his face as he spoke at the end.

"This matter is finally over, but Your Majesty has handed over so much government affairs, so he will definitely be very leisurely in the future. I wonder what His Majesty plans for the future?" Li Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"I think you can accompany Your Majesty out of the palace for more time. After all, places like the palace are too depressing. Even if people who are not sick stay in it for a long time, they may get sick!" Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

"Huh? Brother Changsun doesn't like the atmosphere in the palace either?" This was the first time Li Xiu heard Changsun Wuji say such words, and he couldn't help asking curiously. After all, Changsun Wuji spent almost all the years in the palace, of course, he mainly accompanied Li Shimin to handle government affairs, but he didn't expect that he didn't like the atmosphere in the palace either.

"Actually, it's not just that I don't like it, but Your Majesty may not like it either, especially after the queen passed away, there were no one in charge in the harem. Although there were four noble concubines, they were of the same rank and could not control each other. In addition, some dirty things in the palace naturally made the atmosphere in the palace not very good." Changsun Wuji sighed at this time. He suspected that Li Shimin had been sick frequently in recent years, which was actually related to the atmosphere in the palace.

When Li Xiu heard Changsun Wuji mention Empress Changsun again, he couldn't help but sigh. Speaking of Empress Changsun's death, it was indeed a great regret, especially the impact on the Tang Dynasty was immeasurable. Not only was Li Shimin affected, but Li Chengqian and Li Tai brothers were also greatly affected. If Empress Changsun could survive, the history of the Tang Dynasty would probably have undergone tremendous changes.

After talking about Li Shimin, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji talked about some gossip. The master was a family matter. For example, their children are now adults and they all started to live independently. This made them, as fathers, feel quite moved. Even Changsun Wuji even fell in love with Li Xiu's children and wanted the two families to marry each other. Li Xiu did not object to this kind of thing, but he wanted the children of both sides to get in touch with him first. As long as the children were willing, he, a father, would naturally not object.

The two chatted for a while, and finally Changsun Wuji was about to get up and say goodbye, but at this moment he suddenly thought of something, so he couldn't help but stop and said, "By the way, has the prince-consort heard about Silla and Baekje?"
