"Ha!" Li Ke was startled by the sudden voice. He jumped up from his chair. When he saw Li Shimin behind him, Li Ke patted his chest, "Dad, you don't know people." Scary, scary to death? Why don't you make a sound?"
"You traitor! Tell me, what's going on with this title?!" Li Shimin was furious, you traitor, you don't want the prison country to dare to even bring up such a thing? Then should you encourage the courtiers tomorrow to force me to take the throne?
Bah, that's wrong. This traitor wants me to die on the throne. Shouldn't you incite the courtiers and force me to go to court tomorrow?
"Ah? Well, this is an issue raised by my minister tomorrow." Li Ke said seriously.
"Okay, His Highness the King of Qin is getting more and more courageous. Even my reign title is going to be cancelled. Okay, you can cancel this reign title for me tomorrow, and I will give you the Zen position the day after tomorrow. You can go and have fun on your own, Tai Chi. I gave you the Palace and the Daming Palace, I want the Qin Wangzhuang, and I, Li Shimin, will be the King of Qin Li Shimin tomorrow." Li Shimin sneered.
Chang Lin: "..."
Li Ke: "..."
Looking at Li Shimin's sinister face, Li Ke was speechless. He hurriedly said: "No, no, no, dad, I was wrong. Tai Chi Palace and Daming Palace belong to you, I don't want them."
"Listen to my explanation."
"Come on, come on, you can quibble with me." Li Shimin directly pulled the chair next to him, then sat down, and just sat there with a stern look, as if you were not satisfied with what you told me today, I will tomorrow Just like writing a Zen edict.
"Oh, how can this be sophistry? I just think that the year names of Zhenguan and Wude are not grand at all! There is no pattern!" Li Ke said loudly.
"Come on, tell me, what is the grand title of the year?!" Li Shimin was extremely angry. This treacherous son really didn't live up to his name for a day.
"Datang!" Li Ke spit out two words.
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin frowned.
"I want to cancel the Zhenguan year and change this year to the 19th year of the Tang Dynasty! Change the first year of Wude to the first year of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Ke's expression was serious. Since any Western bullshit birthday of a certain person can be renamed the first year of AD, why can't the whole world? The first year of the Tang Dynasty was changed to the first year of Wude as AD? !
"Huh?" Li Shimin frowned, but he still didn't understand.
"My son wants to expand the influence of the Tang Dynasty to the whole world, so that all countries in the world will use the Tang calendar as the standard!" Li Ke said with a calm face.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, seeing that Li Ke didn't seem to be joking, "You continue."
"Since ancient times, every dynasty has its own reign name, and every emperor has it. In fact, this is not conducive to cultural inheritance. It is just an idea that each emperor wants to express his own existence, but for history books and other cultural In terms of records, it is actually a drag." Li Ke began to make nonsense, these are not that important, of course, a unified calendar is still quite useful.
"The Tang Dynasty has just been established, but I feel that our Tang Dynasty has the ability to pass on for a longer time. If this is the case, why don't we dare to be the first for the world? From now on, our Tang Dynasty, regardless of future generations, will use the title of the country of the Tang Dynasty as the name of the calendar. An ambition passed down for thousands of years.”
"As long as our Tang Dynasty's national power is strong and continues to influence the culture of surrounding countries, then our Datang Dynasty will be able to make the surrounding countries adopt our Datang Calendar and use our Datang Calendar as the principle of historical recording. In this case It’s not impossible. For example, although it is hostile to us, it has a high degree of Chineseization in Goguryeo.”
"In fact, most people in Goguryeo speak the language of the Tang Dynasty and write the characters of the Tang Dynasty. Although their historians who record history use Goguryeo's own era names, they often add the sentence "Sui" or "our Tang Dynasty". The reign name as evidence. This is our influence."
"But because our Tang Dynasty also has various era names, this is extremely inconvenient for conversion. I hope that in hundreds or thousands of years, people in our Tang Dynasty will record the time as: the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 1405 in the Tang calendar, and 1406 in the Tang calendar The fifteenth day of the first lunar month!”
"Think about it, every additional year in the calendar means another year in our Datang inheritance. How magnificent!" Li Ke's voice was extremely serious.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, and he felt a little excited when he heard it. He had to say that thinking about the year 1405 of the Tang Dynasty, there was indeed an inexplicable sense of heroism!
"Are you confident?" The anger in Li Shimin's heart was gone, but there was an inexplicable emotion.
"Yes!" Li Ke said seriously, "This matter is actually not difficult, because many of the small countries around the Tang Dynasty do not have writing or language. They all use the characters of the Tang Dynasty to record things, so they We must use my Tang Dynasty calendar!"
“For example, Silla.”
Silla, also known as Goryeo in later generations, did not have its own written language at all. Although they had their own language, their language had very few syllables and could only speak a few words. Most people in Silla spoke Chinese.
Silla has always admired the Tang Dynasty. Let’s put it this way, on the current Korean Peninsula, south of Goguryeo are Silla and Baekje, but Baekje is not big, and Goguryeo has always bullied Silla. In the beginning, it was itself Bullying, and later bullying by United Baekje.
And as for Silla, she has no other abilities. Silla only knows one move - summoning her father: Datang!
After the Zhenguan year, Li Shimin used troops against Goguryeo several times. In fact, Silla used the summoning technique to summon his father, and then the Tang Dynasty began to use troops against Goguryeo.
Later, after Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, Silla continued to use this summoning technique, and then the Tang Dynasty directly destroyed Baekje and established a Duhufu. A lot of the daily food and clothing of that Duhufu came from Pay in Silla.
Therefore, Silla’s inheritance of this move is actually quite good.
Li Shimin paused for a moment, and then said helplessly: "The question is, if you raise this matter yourself, do you think it can pass the court?"
"Try it, I can convince some ministers, such as King Hejian, Duke Dai, Duke Qiao, Duke Wu, Duke Su, Duke Yu, Duke Lu, Duke Kui, Li Shiji, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Qiong ." Li Ke said with a calm face.
Li Shimin: "..."
Good guy, you didn’t mention the civil servants, but I have to say that among the top ministers of the Tang Dynasty, there were actually more real military generals than civil servants. What Li Ke mentioned is basically the main ministers of the Tang Dynasty now. Among the generals, the King of Hejian no longer participates in political affairs. I heard that he is good at singing and dancing with beauties every day.
He's pretty much the same as the bastard in front of me.
But in fact, Li Shimin also knew that this was related to his actions. Li Xiaogong also wanted to protect himself, so he sang and danced the beauty. After all, he maintained neutrality during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
It's not that Li Shimin didn't have the determination to use him, but on the general side, if he was used, what would happen to the generals who followed Li Shimin? There are only so many locations.
So it was Li Shimin's intention that he gradually fade away from the center of power.
In the end, Li Ke was good, catching them all in one fell swoop.
