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

Chapter 509: The reign title is Jianwu

"Jianwu, that's more appropriate."

Li Zheng took a quick glance and spoke slowly.

"emperor."

"The Jianwu era name is the result of discussions between this minister and my colleagues in the Ministry of Rites. After all, the emperor was born in the military, and he became famous for his military achievements and established the country."

"That's why we have the reign title Jianwu."

"But it's my opinion."

"Your Majesty, as the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you should rule the world with benevolence. So I think Yonghui is the most suitable, followed by Yongkang." Chen Shubao said respectfully.

"Reign name, just a title."

"It does not represent my future governance. Yonghui does not suit my temper, so I will position him as Jianwu."

"Ministry of Rites, go and draft the rules for the reign title."

Li Zheng said in a deep voice, with no doubt that it had already been decided.

Li Zheng felt that it was unlucky to use the reign title Yonghui and would not use it at all.

Jianwu agreed with what he was thinking.

Seeing Li Zheng like this, Chen Shubao bowed respectfully and said, "I understand."

Except for the year number.

"And the old emperor's title."

"The title of the former prince."

“These all require titration.”

"Your Majesty, please give your instructions." Chen Shubao said respectfully again.

"Respect my father as the Grand Emperor, and posthumously confer the title of Grand Empress on the old queen."

"And posthumously conferred the title of Empress Dowager on my mother, Lin."

"Posthumously confer the title of Emperor Cheng on Prince Xi."

Li Zheng thought for a moment and spoke immediately.

This one thing.

He had thought it through last night and naturally made a decision.

My father is still alive, and my elder brother, the crown prince, is still alive.

It was just that his father had abdicated, but their titles naturally could not be changed, especially his eldest brother. He had to be given a title, otherwise how would he face him in the future.

After all, Li Zheng's elder brother Li Chengqian was only the crown prince. Now that his brother had become the emperor, how could he let his elder brother continue to be called the crown prince? That would be a joke.

Therefore, respecting him as the successor emperor is the best approach.

And the position of his father as emperor was determined according to seniority, which is absolutely correct.

"What do you think of this move, my dear ministers?"

Li Zheng looked at the ministers in the hall again.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the ministers in the hall looked at each other, all wanted Li Zheng to bow, and all agreed.

"Except."

"Appoint my wife Qin Wan'er as the queen, holding the queen's seal and in charge of the harem."

"Appoint Li Yuan as Imperial Noble Consort, to assist the Queen in managing the harem."

"Seal Xue Xiaohong as Ming Fei."

"Appoint Wang Xinyu as the Jade Consort."

"Appoint Du Qiong as Consort Qiong."

Li Zheng thought about it and said to the ministers around him.

These wives and concubines have always been with Li Zheng and have a deep relationship with him. Now that Li Zheng is the emperor, their status will naturally rise.

This is also the case with them. If more women enter the palace in the future, they will definitely not be able to obtain such a status.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

"And all the princes need to be canonized, and the position of the crown prince also needs to be decided."

"This is also the special instruction of the retired emperor, to appoint a crown prince early to prevent future troubles." Chen Shubao said respectfully.

Obviously.

This was also Li Shimin's consideration for the future and the destiny of the Tang Dynasty.

When he ascended the throne, he immediately made Li Chengqian the crown prince and trained him in the safest way, making his position unshakable.

He specifically instructed the Ministry of Rites at this moment for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's inheritance. He also wanted his grandson Li Xian to be like Li Chengqian in the past, with a stable position that no one could shake.

And it is true now.

Li Xian's position is unshakable. He is Li Zheng's only legitimate eldest son. The others are illegitimate sons, and of course, there is also a legitimate daughter.

"Appoint Li Xian as the crown prince, and he can enter the Eastern Palace and start his own residence when he turns thirteen."

"Appoint Li Yan as Princess An Ning."

"My other sons are all princes. We will discuss making them kings after they turn fifteen." Li Zheng thought about it and said immediately.

Naturally, he would not forget Fuhua's teachings that one's position and identity should not be messed up.

Otherwise there will be disaster.

Li Xian's position is stable and he also receives his true love. His position will be as unshakable as the former crown prince.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the ministers shouted in unison.

Compared with Li Shimin who was hesitant about many things, Li Zheng was more decisive and never dragged his feet when faced with many things.

"Now the emperor has ascended the throne."

"Should we arrange a palace for the retired emperor somewhere in the imperial palace?" Qin Jiansheng asked respectfully.

"Let's arrange it in the Empress Dowager's original palace. There is a separate courtyard and farmland there. I'm sure my father thinks the same." Li Zheng smiled slightly.

"I understand." Qin Jiansheng nodded.

"emperor."

"Northern Frontier Prefecture sent back a military report from His Royal Highness the King of Wu."

"Now the Northern Frontier Prefecture is still sending troops to attack the remnants of the grassland tribes. Although our Tang Dynasty has suffered some damage, the Northern Frontier territory is still being annexed by the Tang Dynasty."

“But the majority of the population in northern Xinjiang is still composed mainly of ethnic groups from the northern Xinjiang grasslands.”

“Is this move going to change?”

"Should we, the Tang Dynasty, relocate tens of millions of people to the northern border for easier control?" Qin Jiansheng said.

"My dear Qing, do you understand what the people of Tai Neng want most?" Li Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Qin Jiansheng.

"No war, peace." Qin Jiansheng replied.

Hearing this, Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Wrong."

"Please give us some advice, Your Majesty." Qin Jiansheng raised his head and asked curiously.

"Alive."

Li Zheng uttered two words.

"Whether it's the Tang Dynasty, or the foreign tribes outside the Tang Dynasty, or the tribes in the northern grasslands, for ordinary people, they don't think about the expansion like the emperors. Their greatest desire is to be able to live. Survive."

"Before, their great khans couldn't give them to them."

"But I can give them, and the Tang Dynasty can give them."

"If they want to live, they can only obey and surrender. If they don't want to, then send them to death."

"To treat them, we must use both kindness and severity."

"I gave instructions to King Wu and King Jing when I left Northern Frontier Prefecture."

"Give them severe punishment."

"For those who refuse to obey, they shall be reduced to slaves. If they still refuse to obey, they shall be killed."

“This is the cure.”

"of course."

"What Qin Qing just said about migrating the population to the northern border and weakening the various ethnic groups in the northern border is also feasible."

"This matter."

"The Ministry of Revenue is fully responsible. I grant you the authority."

"Although our Great Tang is now stable, there are still many refugees, and there are also many people who are starving in Jiaozhou Prefecture."

"If there are refugees, they can be relocated to the northern border for resettlement, where they can be given houses and pastures for breeding. The court can grant these."

"of course."

"If there are people who take the initiative to settle in the northern border, the imperial court can also arrange for them to go to the northern border for resettlement."

"The migration of population should not be done too quickly or forced. Everything should be voluntary." Li Zheng said slowly.

"I understand."

"The Ministry of Revenue will do its utmost to carry out the emperor's orders." Qin Jiansheng said respectfully.
