"What's wrong with old age for the wise? As long as they are capable, they shall be promoted on their merits; I will employ them all."

"As for you all, you constantly make things difficult, ignoring my orders and rebutting them. Is it truly for the nation and the people, or do you have ulterior motives?"

Being questioned and scolded by Yu Qinghan, several elders were suddenly speechless, unable to respond.
