Three months after Yang Guang's death, Li Yuan presided over the Zen throne ceremony of Yang Yu, the acting king, under the strong advice of the ministers, ascended the throne as emperor, and established the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why the Zen throne ceremony was held was that the Sheji of the Tang Dynasty should inherit the Sheji of the Sui Dynasty. As a minister of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan was very interested in the inheritance of the Tianxia Society, which must be obtained by peaceful inheritance. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will be no different from a reckless rebellion.

Especially for the scholars and doctors of the world, they are very much focused on orthodoxy. The reason why Tang was in the Zen position and supported the society was to follow the orthodox concept and gain the understanding of the scholars of the world.

Over the years, most of the talents of the country's pillars have come from the class of scholars and doctors. The Zen ceremony was not so much that Li Yuan wanted to have a lively time, but that it was specially made for them to see.

For ordinary people, they will support whoever can guarantee their food. For them, how the emperor came to be was not so important.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Wude was used as the name of the year to protect the territory and the people, support justice, and eliminate violence.

And all this, as early as when Jinyang raised troops, had already begun a careful and meticulous layout. At the time of the army, he concluded a peace pact with the two largest factions in the world.

He made an appointment with Shibi Khan, the overlord of Mobei, and contributed all his possessions after the uprising, thus winning the rear of the night sky; He also elected Li Mi as the leader of the anti-Sui alliance and showed friendship, thus removing the threat from the east.

Because it is only in a peaceful environment that the power can grow steadily.

When he entered Chang'an, Li Yuan was not in a hurry to change the banner, he took the Sheji of the Sui Dynasty as the banner. This move gathered the collective allegiance of a large number of old nobles of the Sui Dynasty, and he took advantage of the situation to take over a large number of land and people in the old Sui Dynasty, and strengthened his own strength with a very pragmatic approach.

In terms of operations, Li Yuan did not prematurely intervene in the war of attrition in the Central Plains, he first consolidated Guanzhong, and then took Bashu in the south and attacked Longyou in the west. On the basis of consolidating in the rear, we should focus on management, economic development, and improvement of the people's livelihood, thus laying a solid economic foundation for the future war.

After that, Li Mi was defeated at Bishan, and the Central Plains was stolen by Wang Shichong. After the death of Shibi Khan, the successor Chuluo Khan saw Li Yuan growing stronger step by step, and was extremely jealous of him, and gradually began to restrain Li Yuan from all aspects.

In this regard, Li Yuan acted cautiously on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also actively supporting the Western Turkic Yehu Khan to compete with the Chuluo Khan.

Soon after entering Chang'an, Li Yuan made an appointment with Tongyehu Khan: "Li Yuan sent troops to escort caravans and provide Tongyehu Khan with rice, wheat, salt, medicinal herbs, cotton cloth and other military supplies, while Tongyehu Khan continuously sent horses, weapons, armor and formidable steppe cavalry to Li Yuan in return."

The Commander Yehu Khan is a rare genius in commanding the army. In just two or three years, his forces were directed at the Hindu Kush, the Caspian Sea, Lake Balkhash and the banks of the Amu Darya, and he had developed from a tribal prince to a Western Turkic Great Khan.

He controlled the trade routes of Central Asia and the Western Regions, and to the east, he engaged in fierce competition with the Eastern Turkic Khan, forcing the Eastern Turk Khan to deploy heavy troops in the Jinshan area.

With the king of the Caspian Sea, Tongyehu Khan, as an ally, and the elite cavalry of Chuluo Khan being pinned down in the Jinshan area, Li Yuan no longer had to worry about the Turkic large army of heavy cavalry going south to raid Chang'an, and he could draw more troops to deal with the war in all directions.

Compared with diplomacy, Li Yuan's reform in domestic affairs was more thorough. He completely abolished the harsh decrees left by Yang Guang, and followed the example of Shang Ying, issued military lordship orders and reclamation orders, and vigorously promoted the policy of rewarding military merit and reclamation.

He ordered Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to be the Shangshu Ling and the pastor of Yongzhou, and to train elite troops in the Weibei camp to meet the needs of the war.

In addition, Li Yuan put all his energy into the development of production. After two or three years of development, Datang's granary began to plump, which in turn attracted displaced people from all over the world to enter the Datang Pass to engage in production.

This not only further strengthened the population, but also solved the problem of labor and soldiers.

Dense forests, plastered plains, rich rivers, and vast pastures have developed in an all-round way under the stimulus of Li Yuan's heavy agricultural policy.

Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Yizhou, most of Jingxiang and parts of the Central Plains were annexed one after another, and the emerging Tang Empire showed a thriving scene.

Li Yuan's measures won the hearts of the people of the world, and even many powerful officials in the local area began to return to the Tang Dynasty, and they persuaded their lords to join the Tang Dynasty in order to end this evil and chaotic era as soon as possible.

During this period, there were brothers An Xinggui and An Xiuren who persuaded Li Liang to join the Tang Dynasty; Wen Yanbo persuaded Luo Yi to join the Tang Dynasty; There was Du Fuwei announcing his return to Tang; Wei Zheng went to Liyang to persuade Xu Shiji to return to Tang.

People are of the same mind, Li Yuan won step by step, won the hearts of the people, and his power continued to grow. Let people see the hope of ending the troubled times, and see the shadow of a generation of benevolent lords.

There were many more scholars and civilians, and they also did their best to either join the Tang Dynasty and join the army, or lurk in other places to send important information from time to time......

Those who govern the country are strategic. Li Yuan braked quietly, and while his own strength continued to grow and develop, he also restrained the expansion of many other forces.

A soldier who surrenders without a fight is the norm of a soldier! Dou Jiande, who was far away in Hebei, Wang Shichong, who was close to the eastern capital, and Xiao Mian in Jiangnan, especially Chuluo Khan in Mobei, all began to feel uneasy.
