Chapter 930 Revisiting the Year Name
As for the officiant officer, the person Cen Wenwen recommended was indeed more suitable than Cen Wenwen himself. The person Cen Wenwen recommended was none other than Chang Sun Chong's biological father and eldest Sun Wuji.

In terms of qualifications and prestige, there is no doubt that Changsun Wuji is enough, and there is a more important point, that is, Li Ke was granted Zen in the name of two generations of emperors, and Changsun Wuji was a close minister of the former emperor and was personally approved by Li Shimin. The number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion is the best candidate to represent Li Shimin.

With these considerations in mind, Cen Wenwen insisted on giving in again, and Changsun Wuji's officiant was finally decided.

Feng Chan is a major event, and it is not easy to facilitate it, but when this matter is mentioned by Li Ke, initiated by Wang Xuance, and advocated by Cen Wenwen, then the matter is considered a complete certainty.

Worshiping the heaven and enshrining Zen is a grand event, and the cost is naturally extraordinary. Whether it is building an altar with stones, building a shrine to cultivate the Tao, or accompanying the guard of honor and hundreds of officials, the cost is huge.

Originally, according to the intention of the imperial court, it was to adjust the taxes and taxes of the three places of Hebei, Huainan and Henan this year for the purpose of enshrining Zen, but Li Ke took this as his own wish, mainly funded by his own treasury, and supplemented by From the treasury, it is used to enshrine Zen.

Li Ke felt sorry for the power of the country and the people, and let his internal treasury bear most of the expenses, but what Feng Chan needed was not a small amount, plus Li Ke's various subsidies in the previous battle of Yujia's Western Expedition, even Li Ke Ke has the internal warehouse of the southeast salt administration and water transportation, and it is a bit tight for a while.

The internal storage was tight and the consumption was insufficient. Originally, the construction period was inevitably delayed. However, when Li Ke was in a dilemma and was mentally prepared for the delay in the construction period, there were many envoys from Turks, Xue Yantuo, Tuyuhun and Western Regions. After learning of Li Ke's intention to enshrine Zen, he went to Beijing under the order of the monarch, offered money, and some people contributed to help Li Ke pass this test.

Because of this, not only did Li Ke's progress in Mount Tai Fengchan's progress not be delayed at all, but it was a little earlier than expected. The preparations for Mount Tai's Fengchan were roughly completed before the first month.

With the arrival of all kingdoms at the end of the year, all the preparations for Mount Tai's Fengchan should be completed. Finally, the first Fengchan since the founding of the Tang Dynasty slowly opened in the first month of the sixth year of Longshuo.

Luoyang, Ziwei City, Zetianmen.

Ziwei Palace was built in the early years of Daye of the former Sui Dynasty. It was the main gate of Ziwei City. Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin at the time, ordered Qu Tutong to set fire to it because of his extravagance after Wang Shichong was destroyed.

After that, Zetianmen was never built again in the last Zhenguan dynasty, so Zetianmen, which was "made in a very poor and luxurious way, is incomparable to the previous cities", became the dilapidated appearance in front of us.

"I have been on the throne for seven years. During this time, someone told me several times: Luoyang is the most important capital in the east. I have been asked to rebuild the Zetian Gate, but I have not been approved. Can Master Cen know the reason?" Under the Zetian Gate, Li Ke and Cen Wenwen and the two stood facing each other, and Li Ke looked up at the dilapidated Zetian Gate in front of him, and asked Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen replied without hesitation: "Because the Zetian Gate was burned by the former emperor, it was to break the heart of extravagance and establish the ambition of frugality. Your Majesty emulated the legacy of the former emperor and cherished the power of the people, so the Zetian Gate was never rebuilt."

Li Ke shook his head and said: "What Master Cen said is true, but not all of it. If I don't cultivate Zetianmen, it is true that I am imitating my father's intention, but it is not the case."

Cen Wenwen asked curiously: "I don't know what His Majesty said?"

Li Ke replied with a smile: "Since I came to the throne, there have been constant wars in the middle school. Counting carefully, I have only been on the throne for seven years, but I have already fought two national wars. The power of the people is exhausting the people. With my current militant behavior, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am militaristic. If I build the extravagant Zetian Gate, it will not be my own brand, and what will I do to my grandfather?"

"Hahaha"

Hearing Li Ke's words, Cen Wenwen was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.The grandfather Li Ke was talking about was Emperor Sui Yang who built Zetianmen. Although Li Ke made such a comparison, although it is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable.

There is no one else here, and given the intimacy between Cen Wenwen and Li Ke, there is no need to be too scrupulous, Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Although your Majesty is good at martial arts, he also cherishes feathers."

Li Ke said: "With my father's jewels in front of me, as a son of man, if I succeed the emperor, even if I can't match my father, or be better than him, at least I won't be able to leave a bad name in the history."

Wang Xuance waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty is serious. With your Majesty's achievements today, the achievement of opening up territories is already comparable to that of Han and Wu. Even if it is not the first in ancient times, it is enough to shine in the annals of history. How can there be such a bad name? It's just that "

As Cen Wenwen spoke, he paused, and then continued: "It's just that your majesty seems to be better than the former emperor at the moment, but I'm afraid there are still some shortcomings. Your majesty's martial arts are sufficient, but there are still shortcomings in martial arts."

Cen Wenwen's words are spurring Li Ke, and at the same time admonishing Li Ke, hoping that Li Ke can devote more energy to cultural governance in the future instead of opening up territories.

Li Ke responded immediately: "Master Cen is right, and I mean exactly what I mean. Although Luoyang is known as the Eastern Capital, since I became the throne, I have not lived in Luoyang for many days. Luoyang is a place of prosperous culture and education. Better than Chang'an, I am planning to live in Luoyang more in the future to express my heart for Wenzhi."

Before that, Li Ke lived in Chang'an all the year round in order to defeat Tubo and strive for dominance in the Western Regions as soon as possible, so as to arrange the affairs of Tubo and the Western Regions more quickly, but now it is different. In the future, more emphasis will be placed on cultural governance, so Luoyang, which is prosperous in culture and education, has become Li Ke's first choice.

Li Ke continued: "In a few days, Mount Tai will be enshrined in Zen. I want to announce this news on the day of enshrining Chan, and change the year name of Longshuo. What do you think, Master Cen?"

Cen Wenwen didn't think that Li Ke would change his year name before, but Li Ke wanted to follow the rule of culture, which was what Cen Wenwen wanted to see.

After all, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has been emphasizing martial arts and fighting for years. Although the victors are more than the defeats, and the power is everywhere, it is not a long-term solution. , is secondary.

Cen Wenwen immediately said: "Your Majesty's words are very kind, and I think this is justified."

Li Ke said: "It's good that Prime Minister Cen agrees with me, but I still want to discuss with Prime Minister Cen about the year name."

Cen Benben is famous for his literary talent, Li Ke wanted to change the name of the year, and it was perfect to ask Cen Benben for his meaning.

Cen Wenwen asked, "I don't know what His Majesty means?"

Li Ke replied: "Xining or Hongzhi, I wonder which one Master Cen thinks is better?"

Cen Wenwen thought about it for a while, and said: "If you use the name of Xining, the so-called Xining means that the time is pure and prosperous, and the world is Xianning, which means that the government is clear and the world is peaceful. But if you use the name of Hongzhi, the so-called Hongzhi means Hongguangda, the great rule of the world, takes the meaning of promoting culture and promoting virtue, so that the country can be governed. If you look at it alone, the word Hongzhi is more in line with the meaning of Your Majesty."

Li Ke heard the words, thought for a while, and replied: "What Master Cen said is very true. Over there, according to what Master Cen said, the year name is Hongzhi."
