"From now on, the army of the Tang Dynasty will be an army with faith and honor! Even if they die in battle, their heroic spirits will always protect the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"Now, who is responsible for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today?"
"The reason why Chinese civilization can be passed down to this day is that the cultural inheritance of Chinese civilization has never been cut off. In the ancient times of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, the common rulers of the world were all virtuous people."
"So now, I, Li Shimin, have taken advantage of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to consecrate Zen in Mount Tai, offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and announce to all the people in the world that I, Li Shimin, now have a third son, Ke, who has unparalleled talents and can open up the future of the Tang Dynasty. Foundation, so from today on, I, Li Shimin, am the third son in my name, Li Ke, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty. I have been demoted to an ordinary citizen of the Tang Dynasty."
When Chang Lin read this in front of the speaker, there was a "boom". It can be said that the heads of everyone below were "buzzing".
Except for a few insiders, everyone else is dead. Your Majesty... His Highness the King of Qin is Zen? Did you hear that right? ! But this is Chang'an, and he is in front of hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in the entire Chang'an City. Of course, this cannot be fake!
But... this is too sudden! All officials were in a state of confusion.
And Li Ke, who was sitting there at this moment, was in a state of numbness. His head was not enough for a while, what? Zen position? Did he hear it correctly?
As for Li Tai and the others around Li Ke, they were all dumbfounded. Although they seemed to have thought about whether their father would make the third brother a prince, no one had ever thought that their father would directly abdicate the throne.
Li Ke himself has never thought about this, let alone others?
But the hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers didn't think so much. They were stunned when they first heard it, but no matter who reacted, they cheered subconsciously.
More and more cheers gradually echoed throughout the square.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Highness! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Highness! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
…
The chaotic cheers gradually began to gather, gather, and then became loud and powerful. When the voices of hundreds of thousands of people gradually merged into one, these sounds could be heard in the entire Chang'an City!
The deafening cheers were enough to move anyone. Even the soldiers couldn't help but cheer. Under the current military discipline of the Tang Dynasty, one can imagine how shocking this incident was.
But what they didn't know was that such cheers were not limited to Chang'an City.
Luoyang, Yangzhou, Taiyuan, Guangzhou, Linyi, and other large cities in the Tang Dynasty, as well as Qinghai Prefecture, Qinghai-Tibet Prefecture, Xinjiang Prefecture, Hanhai Prefecture, and other dozens of states in the Tang Dynasty, all scenes above the county level, all sounded like this. of cheers.
They were all notified by the security forces yesterday that the imperial edict would be read out today. But today, August 1st, His Majesty Taishan was enthroned. They had already received the news, and had already notified the people, the security forces, the garrison, and other people who could come to participate.
Although not all the people under the rule would come here today, at least most people did come, and at least one person from every household came.
Everyone was cheering, and every common person was shouting excitedly. They had never said it before, but they had thought about it more than once.
They have all thought that now His Highness the King of Qin is presiding over the reform, but in the future it will not be His Highness the King of Qin who will succeed to the throne, but the prince. What if the world goes back to the way it was before?
It's just that although they have thought about it, no one dares to discuss such things because they all know that this is not something they can participate in.
However, they all imagined what a prosperous age the Tang Dynasty would be like if His Highness King Qin, who had reformed the Tang Dynasty step by step to what it is today, could succeed to the throne!
But now, all these dreams have come true, and instead of His Majesty succeeding to the throne after His Majesty's death in the future, His Majesty will directly take the throne.
Let their beloved His Highness King Qin become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
How unhappy they are! How not to look forward to it? !
Many people even knelt down on the ground on the spot and kowtowed in the direction of Chang'an City.
More people were in tears. They were obviously happy, but they didn't know why they were sad inside. It was obviously a good thing, His Highness the King of Qin, who cared about all the people, who ran around for the people, fought against the world's powerful families for the people, and reformed the military system of the Tang Dynasty for the people.
He deserves to be loved and respected by everyone in the world, and he deserves to be the co-owner of the world! He deserves to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Because only in this way can they be worthy of everything he has done for them!
Otherwise, they don't know how to repay His Highness.
In the Temple of Heaven Square in Chang'an City, Li Ke came back to his senses amidst countless cheers.
His whole body is not well. It’s not dad or brother. I’ve worked so hard for you, but you actually become the sixth child? !
And Lao Li, you are too old, right? ! Direct Zen position? ! Li Ke didn't even know how to express his feelings.
The truth is, Li Shimin did something that he had never thought about or even thought about! After all, in the entire history, apart from the early Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, who has ever attained the Zen throne?
Therefore, Li Ke never thought that his father would do such an outrageous thing. Based on Li Ke's own historical reserves, all he could think of was Qianlong, but at what age did Qianlong achieve the Zen throne? That was the Zen position after reigning for sixty years!
And how old is Lao Li this year? Lao Li is just over 40 years old this year! People are in middle age!
Not to mention in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is not the time to retire at this age more than a thousand years later, how many middle-aged people who have just passed the age of 40 are still starting a business? Isn’t this age the breadwinner of the family?
As a result, Lao Li took the Zen position directly? Who could have imagined this?
The point is... Li Ke feels at a loss now. If Li Shimin announces this in the court, or at a grand meeting or some other place, Li Ke will have a way to refuse or cheat.
But how could he refuse now? Li Shimin is not here at all!
The key point is the scene in front of him. With the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people, who took the lead from somewhere, more and more people knelt directly on the ground, facing his direction.
Hundreds of thousands of people kneel in front of you and shout long live. How should Li Ke speak?
Not just the people, but all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were responsible for maintaining order and maintaining public security could not kneel down because they were wearing armor, but they all knelt on one knee in the direction of Li Ke.
As more and more people knelt down, the merchants, aristocratic families, scholars, and students in the special areas below all knelt down.
