In 618 AD, in May, Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor, changed the name of the country to Tang, and set the capital of Chang'an, known as Tang Gaozu in history.
Although Li Yuan, who ascended to the throne, was more than fifty years old, he was still ambitious and vigorous, looking at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the three sons who were able to fight well, his excitement at this moment could still be felt even after a thousand years of separation.
