I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 508: Choosing a Year Name
"good."

"We must drink heartily today to celebrate the crown prince's accession to the throne."

"His Royal Highness is a model of a wise and enlightened ruler, both in civil and military affairs."

"I don't know how powerful our Tang Dynasty will become in the future."

"For the Crown Prince and the Tang Dynasty, we must celebrate."

"Hahaha, today our Lin's Restaurant is also celebrating the crown prince's succession to the throne. The shopkeeper said that today all drinks sold in the restaurant will be 50% off."

"Everyone, please drink to your heart's content."

"atmosphere."

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince."

……

All over Chang'an.

I don’t know how many people celebrated Li Zheng’s succession to the throne.

Among the people today, Li Zheng's prestige is so high that he can even be compared to the wise emperor Li Shimin. It can be seen that people all over the world know what Li Zheng has done over the years.

If the successor was an incompetent one, the people would not be so excited, but would just curse in secret.

For ordinary people.

They have a scale in their hearts to judge who is good to them and who is bad to them.

At this moment, the joy in Chang'an City is congratulating Li Zheng. This is exactly the public support that Li Zheng has won by implementing his previous national policies.

Now it is just Chang'an City.

When the real coronation ceremony is announced to the world and the new era name is announced and widely circulated, it will surely cause greater excitement among the people.

This is the change of imperial power.

One person controls the world.

One person influences the world.

A foolish emperor will bring great changes to the world, but a wise emperor will bring great changes to the world, and the people will live a good life.

Wangfu.

"Master Wang, congratulations."

"You have become the father-in-law of the emperor."

"The Wang family's business is all over the world. I wonder if we can cooperate with them?"

"I am willing to exchange 80% of the profits for cooperation with Master Wang."

"Congratulations."

"Master, someone else is visiting from outside the mansion."

Compared with Li Zheng's other in-laws' residences, only the prince's residence is very lively. It's not because the prince's residence has a wide network of contacts, but because the prince's residence is the easiest to visit.

When Li Zheng was named the crown prince, the palace was packed with people. Now that he has succeeded to the throne, it has brought a huge impact, not only to ordinary merchants, but also to officials in the court. After all, Wang Yuanbao has undergone a change in identity and has become the father-in-law of the Tang Dynasty.

In the main hall.

Look at this lively scene.

Wang Yuanbao stroked his long beard, looking very proud.

for him.

In the past, even if he became the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, there was no such prosperous situation.

In the past.

Even ordinary county officials were too lazy to deal with him because of his identity as a merchant. Even if there were profitable transactions, they still looked down on him in their hearts.

It’s all because of business.

But everything changed when his daughter found the right man and married the current crown prince.

His Wang family suddenly became royal relatives.

There has been a big change in identity.

Today, the imperial court’s policies no longer target merchants, which has further enhanced the status of merchants.

"Rong'er."

"You should entertain the guests well. Dad is tired."

"Go down and rest for a while."

Wang Yuanbao said something to Wang Rong who was busy at the side, and then walked towards the back hall with the help of servants.

This time he leaves.

Many people also flattered him: "Master Wang, please walk slowly and be careful."

"Master Wang, please consider cooperating with me."

"I am willing to give up 8% of the profit..."

Many people were talking to Wang Yuanbao from behind, flattering him, trying to please him, all kinds of people.

This is what power and status bring.

"master."

"Now my Wang family is truly the number one merchant in the Tang Dynasty."

"Now that my son-in-law has taken the throne, not only the merchants who used to work with me have come to visit me, but even many dignitaries in the court have come to visit me."

"You wouldn't even dare to think about this number before." The housekeeper said to Wang Yuanbao with a proud look on his face.
As a butler, his status naturally rose as well.

"The first merchant."

Hearing this, Wang Yuanbao frowned again. Looking at the smug look of the butler in front of him, Wang Yuanbao felt uneasy in his heart.

"Don't forget who you are, and don't forget why our Wang family is so crowded."

“All of this is brought about by the change.”

"If my Wang family expands too much and breaks the law, the emperor will definitely not let it go easily given his character."

"remember."

Wang Yuanbao gave stern warnings again and again.

Sensing Wang Yuanbao's anger, the butler's face changed and he immediately knelt down: "I understand."

"It seems that we need to restrain ourselves. People's minds are hard to predict. Otherwise, if something bad happens, it will be a big deal."

"My Wang family has no worries about food and clothing now, and our status is secure, so we can't cause any trouble that will affect Xinyu." Wang Yuanbao thought to himself.

Having lived for so many years and accumulated huge wealth through hard work, Wang Yuanbao has met many people. It can be said that he has met everyone. If one becomes arrogant after gaining status, that would be a disaster.

Impacting the Wang family is a big deal, and affecting his own daughter is an even bigger deal.

The next day.

In the political hall.

All the important officials of the court have arrived.

A small assembly was held.

After Li Shimin abdicated, he no longer came to the Council Hall to deal with memorials, and everything was left to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng sat on the dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe, his eyes fixed.

All the ministers knelt down one after another, "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you."

"Stand up and take a seat."

Li Zheng waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers thanked him and took their seats on both sides, sitting upright.

"Minister Chen, what's the matter?" Li Zheng looked at Chen Shubao.

"Return to your highness."

"I have already drafted several era names. Your Highness, please review them."

Chen Shubao stood up, picked up a memorial and handed it to Li Zheng respectfully.

Li Zheng opened the memorial and took a look.

Come into view.

There are three new era names.

First.

It is the era name that Li Zheng still remembers clearly, and it is also recorded in the original history.

Yong Hui.

second.

Jianwu.

third.

Yongkang.

Looking at these three era names, a smile appeared on Li Zheng's lips.

"Yonghui."

"This era name has not changed because of my appearance."

“It turned out to be there after all.”

"only."

"I will not use this reign title." Li Zheng laughed secretly in his heart.

The reign title Yonghui immediately reminded him of Li Zhi, Wu Zetian who later replaced the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he immediately felt it was unlucky.

but.

Generally speaking.

The reign title chosen by the next king of a dynasty must be related to literature, so that he can implement benevolent policies and be known to the world.

Emperor Taizong governed the Tang Dynasty with military force and stabilised the country with military force.

As the next emperor, he naturally had to abandon the use of force and devote all his energy to governing the country. The second name of the country was Jianwu.

Perhaps the Ministry of Rites thought that Li Zheng had relied on military exploits to get to the top, so this reign title was given. After all, he must have outstanding ability to command troops and must have prestige in military affairs.

And Li Zheng completely meets this requirement.

So the Jianwu era name became an alternative.

And the third one is Yongkang.

Naturally, it also demonstrates the strategy of governing the country.
