Chapter 57 The name of the country is Kaiyuan

It can be said that Li Longji became the emperor because everyone expected it, and the ministers were happy and convinced.

At a young age, Li Longji made such great achievements. First, he participated in the great war against the Turks, and the Turks were destroyed because of him. If Li Longji had not participated in this battle, the Turks would probably have fled back to Mobei, and the Tang Dynasty was still thinking of sending troops to Mobei like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at this time to deal a fatal blow to the Turks.

Now, he led the army to the west, exterminated Tubo, a sworn enemy who caused a headache for the Tang Dynasty, not to mention, but also pacified Tianzhu, conquered Pakistan and Afghanistan, defeated the Great Food, and made the countries of the Western Regions surrender one after another, expanding the land for thousands of miles.

Today's Li Longji is only seventeen years old, and even Tang Taizong did not have such brilliant achievements at his age.

Li Dan picked up the imperial robe and put it on Li Longji with his own hands.

"Father." Although he had known Li Dan's intentions for a long time, when this moment came, Li Longji was still excited.

Li Dan's face was kind, and he wore the imperial robe for Li Longji. Jia Ming and Gao Lishi came over to help, and the three of them were busy all the time, and finally put on the imperial robe for Li Longji.

Li Long is basically tall and handsome, and with the imperial robe behind him, he adds a bit of heroic spirit, and his gestures are majestic, this is a natural emperor.

"Not bad! Not bad! Li Dan saw it in his eyes and praised it greatly.

"What a hero!" The ministers were also dazzled and greatly appreciated.

Li Dan picked up the crown and gave it to Li Longji to put on his head. After staring at the round eyes, I saw that Li Longji was handsome and extraordinary, it could be said that the jade tree was in the wind, and it was majestic, and at a glance, he knew that he was a dragon and phoenix among people.

"Good! San Lang, you must be more wise than a father! Li Dan nodded reassuringly.

Li Dan picked up the jade seal and handed it to Li Longji. Said: "San Lang." The world will be handed over to you. You have to do your best. Govern Datang well. ”

"Father, but don't worry, the child understands." Li Longji nodded.

Li Dan personally supported Li Longji, sat on the throne, turned around, and said to the ministers: "In the future, you will follow San Lang to create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty." Well, I've abdicated. I don't have to worry about state affairs anymore, and I can finally relax. ”

With that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

"Congratulations to the Emperor." Li Dan abdicated, so naturally he was too emperor, and the ministers were busy sending him off.

"See Majesty." The ministers knelt on the ground and saluted Li Longji solemnly.

"Excuse me." Li Longji waved his right hand lightly, although it was the first time to accept the pilgrimage of the ministers, he was majestic and extraordinary.

"Thank you." The ministers thanked him. Stand up.

"Your Majesty, you are newly enthroned. It should be edicted to the world and celebrated. "There are ministers who are busy playing, and their faces are full of joy.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The retainers responded loudly.

Every emperor should be congratulated on his accession to the throne, this is a custom, and it should be so, and the ministers cannot but approve of it.

"Tell the world that this is the way it should be. Celebrate and you don't have to. Li Longji shook his head.

"Your Majesty, why is that?"

"Your Majesty, the new emperor ascended the throne and celebrated it in a big way, this is a case for the ages, how can you not celebrate?"

"That's right. Emperor Taizong's accession to the throne was also celebrated for several days. ”

The ministers were puzzled and played one after another, demanding a big celebration. In fact, the new emperor celebrates his accession to the throne, which is a practice for the ages.

"Because time waits for no one." Li Longji's eyes flashed, and he said: "The battle between Datang and Dashi is imminent, we have a lot of things to do, and instead of wasting on these useless vain courtesies, it is better to do more practical things." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a bad statement. What is a big food? Datang's attempt to destroy the Great Food is not an immediate success. ”

"That's right. With the wisdom of His Majesty and the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to destroy the Great Food. ”

"Da Shi is the opponent of Da Tang, and the battle between His Majesty and Da Shi is enough to explain the problem."

The ministers looked proud, held their heads high, and did not take the Arab Empire in their eyes at all.

Li Longji's face was solemn, and he shouted in a deep voice: "You haven't fought with Da Shi, you don't know how powerful Da Shi is, if you think so, you are arrogant, and sooner or later you will suffer." ”

Li Longji fought a battle with Gu Taibai and knew the power of the Arab Empire, which was a fierce rival of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is right." Zhang Shuo echoed loudly and said: "The reason why we were able to win the battle with Dashi is that in addition to the fact that Datang is very strong, there are also some lucks. Gu Taibai was not familiar with Datang's style of play, and did not protect the trebuchet, which gave us an opportunity. If he is familiar with Datang's style of play and protects the trebuchet, we will still win, but we will pay a lot of price. ”

Zhang said that he was very famous in the court, and his words carried a lot of weight, and the ministers couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts when they heard it.

"Lord Zhang, are you serious?" Wang Xiaojie was a little unconvinced.

"Dashuai, let's tell you this. Da Shi is the strongest opponent of Datang since its creation, Turkic, Tubo, and even Tianzhu, compared to it, it is not a fart. Zhang Shuo's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Their soldiers dare to fight, dare to fight and dare to die, and their bravery is not under us." Moreover, they are also well-trained, well-equipped, strict in command, advanced in tactics, and well-founded in advance and retreat, which is not much worse than the army of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"This ......" According to the prestige of Zhang's words, it is impossible for him to tell a lie, since he has given such a high evaluation to the Arab Empire, it is natural that there will be no fake, and the ministers were shocked.

"Zhang said it well." Li Longji nodded and said, "What we met was only Gu Taibai, not Yousufu himself. As the Governor of the East of the Great Food, Yusuf is even more talented than Gu Taibai, and if we meet him, the battle will be even harder. Therefore, instead of spending precious time on useless vain etiquette, it is better to do more practical things. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers had to be convinced, Li Longji really did big things, and he did practical things as soon as he came.

"Before we get down to business, let's talk about a few important things." Li Longji raised his eyebrows, his eyes were shining, and he said, "Respect grandmother as the holy queen." ”

After Wu Zetian abdicated, Li Dan respected her as the "Holy Queen", and Li Longji also agreed with this matter, so there was no need to change.

The ministers had no objection to this. Although Wu Zetian is no longer the emperor, however, the ministers are still convinced of her. After all, Wu Zetian's talent is there. Better than many men. They can't accept it.

"The second thing is to respect my father as the emperor." Li Longji said.

Li Dan abdicated. Naturally, it should be "Emperor Taishang", which is the proper meaning.

The ministers also had no objection to this.

"The third thing is to set the date." Li Longji glanced at the ministers and said, "My mind has been decided, and the name of the year is 'Kaiyuan'." ”

"Kaiyuan?" The ministers didn't quite understand the meaning of the name.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, why is it called Kaiyuan?" A minister hurriedly asked.

These words are exactly what the ministers are thinking, and they are all wide-eyed. looked at Li Longji desperately, pricked up his ears and listened.

Era names are especially important for an emperor. Every emperor has an era name, especially Wu Zetian, she has too many era names, so many that people can blame her.

Wu Zetian should be the emperor with the most years and the most auspicious meaning in Chinese history.

"The one who opens, the one who creates is also; The Yuan, the New Era, is also the one who is with you. Work together to create a martial arts beyond the Han martial arts. A new era of prosperity that transcends Sadakan! Li Longji explained to the ministers.

"Buzz!" As soon as Li Longji's words fell, the court exploded, and the ministers shouted.

"What? Martial arts surpass Han martial arts, and cultural governance surpasses Zhenguan? ”

"It can't be! No way! ”

"It's good for Your Majesty to be ambitious, but it's too big, how can it surpass these two lives?"

The ministers were all stunned and stunned.

Even Di Renjie and Wang Xiaojie, these important ministers, were also staring at each other in shock.

Before the "Kaiyuan Dynasty", the martial arts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the splendid cultural rule of Zhenguan Zhizhi, which were two monuments in Chinese history, were considered unsurpassable.

It is really difficult for the ministers to believe that Li Longji can do this.

"Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty is reckless and does not care about the life and death of the people, there is no need to compare with it." There are ministers busy reminding.

"Yes. The Han Wu people and thieves are also, regardless of the life and death of the people, the poor and extravagant, the poor soldiers and the Huns, making the people miserable, and the world's household registration is halved. Compared with him, this is the value of His Majesty. Immediately, the minister agreed.

In the minds of later generations, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a bad emperor who was extremely poor and luxurious, regardless of the life and death of the people, and was reckless.

"You're not right!" Li Longji's eyes flashed, and he said: "Although later generations have criticized Han Wu, they can't hide their great achievements. At the beginning of his succession, the Xiongnu were rampant, and the Han Dynasty did not win a war, so they were bullied by the Xiongnu. The peace of the Han Dynasty can only rely on the breasts of women, not to mention in the Han Dynasty, even now, thinking about this matter makes men ashamed and landless. ”

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was too weak, and in order to prevent the Xiongnu from coming, it implemented the policy of "harmony". This policy, although it is a timely countermeasure, makes men ashamed.

Even today, more than 2,000 years later, when we mention this, we are also indignant.

Are all the men in the world dead? Peace depends on a woman's breast!

As soon as Li Longji mentioned this, the ministers blushed, shook their heads, and were speechless.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was one of the darkest eras in Chinese history, one of the most humiliating eras, who can not be ashamed?

"Through the efforts of the Han Wu, the Xiongnu were defeated, and since then, the Xiongnu have gradually declined, and finally this race has died out." Li Longji's eyes sparkled, and he said: "Han Wu has such martial arts, and Yu Huaxia has such great achievements, he is an amazing emperor." ”

To be sure, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a very great contribution to China, and he was one of the few emperors in Chinese history who was ambitious and strategic.

"You blame Han Wu because he insisted on using troops against the Xiongnu until the household registration in the world was halved and the people had no food and clothing." Li Longji continued: "This is not his wish, but he has to do it. ”

Li Longji's words are very reasonable. With the wisdom of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he didn't know that if he continued to fight like that, it would make the Han Dynasty pay a huge price, but he had to fight. Because after the Xiongnu retreated to Mobei, they could recuperate until they were strong and strong, and then made a comeback.

After losing the battle in Monan, he retreated to Mobei, licked his wounds, and made a comeback. This kind of thing was staged three times before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It is recorded that before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu marched south three times, returned from three defeats, and then returned to Mobei to recuperate.

The first time was during the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, the second was defeated by Li Mu at the end of the Warring States Period, and the third time was when Meng Tian defeated the Xiongnu. In these three blows, the Xiongnu paid a heavy price, but it was because of the existence of Mobei that the Xiongnu finally recovered.

The experience of these three wars is: if you don't take Mobei, all the battles will be in vain!

Therefore, in order to take Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to grit his teeth and fight until the world's household registration was halved. The price paid by the Han Dynasty was very large, but it completely solved the great problem of the Xiongnu.

"If I want to surpass the Han martial arts in martial arts, why not?" Li Longji asked loudly. (To be continued......)
