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

Chapter 507 Li Ke Sets Wedding Date

Nowadays, if you are in your fifties, it would be a lie to say that you don’t want to live longer.

Now it is before us.

But Changsun Wuji felt that he was unworthy of this value.

At this time.

Li Shimin grabbed the pill and stuffed it into Changsun Wuji's hand.

"Take it. You are my only old brother. I don't want you to die before me." Li Shimin said directly with an unquestionable tone.

"I, your Excellency, feel unworthy of this."

Changsun Wuji said with some shame.

At this time.

Li Shimin directly changed the subject.

"Li Zheng, today you will be considered to have succeeded to the throne."

"But after you succeed to the throne, there are still many things you need to do." Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng and said.

"My child understands."

"The first is the year number."

"Then there are changes in the palace and the court." Li Zheng said immediately.

“The year number is the key.”

"This represents your expectations for the future of the Tang Dynasty, as well as your subjective national policy. Through the reign title, the people of the world will know how you will govern the country in the future."

"besides."

"In addition to the reign title, there are also titles for the empress and the crown prince."

“These are what you have to do.”

"And the most important point is your eldest brother's position."

Li Shimin stared at Li Zheng and said.

These things seem simple, but they are also the top priorities after Li Zheng succeeded to the throne, and must be implemented as soon as possible.

"My child understands."

"Tomorrow, I will implement these."

"As for the reign title, I've thought of that too." Li Zheng nodded seriously.

"The Ministry of Rites will select a few reign titles for you, and you can choose when the time comes."

"That's nothing for you to worry about."

"Ministers are in the court, you need to use these yourself."

"If your ministers are not used, your job as an emperor will be very tiring," Li Shimin taught.

"I understand, kid." Li Zheng nodded.

The birthday banquet is still going on.

But sitting with Li Shimin.

Although he passed the throne to Li Zheng, he was still a little worried as he thought that Li Zheng had just ascended the throne, so he gave Li Zheng instructions and guidance.

I'm just afraid that Li Zheng will take a detour.

This position holds the highest power in the world and also influences the world. If there are mistakes in the implementation of national policies, the consequences will be disastrous.

It was inevitable that he had concerns.

Li Zheng naturally understood this, and listened attentively to his grandfather's teachings.

The birthday party was quick.

It lasted all afternoon.

The guests gradually left.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, the two old brothers, also drank a little too much when they were together.

For the first time in decades, Li Shimin got drunk.

Li Zheng arranged for servants to send him back to the palace.

Li Zheng returned to the Council Hall.

but.

The birthday banquet had just ended and many court officials were drunk, so Li Zheng did not call his officials to discuss matters.

Sitting on the dragon throne in the Council Hall.

Li Zheng's face also had an indescribable emotion.

Government Hall.

Li Zheng comes here almost every day.

Every time he sat in front of his father, but this time, Li Zheng sat on the dragon throne.

The moment you actually sit on it, the feeling is indescribable.

The feeling of holding royal power.

"uncle."

"You look for the minister."

At this time.

Li Ke walked quickly into the Council Hall.

There are no outsiders.

So Li Ke also called him uncle directly.

"The Ministry of Rites has already set a wedding date for you."

"One is on the 15th of next month, and the other is on the 20th two months from now."

They are all auspicious days.

Li Zheng smiled, picked up a memorial from the table, and handed it to Li Ke, who immediately took it respectfully.

"uncle."

"I think we should do it on the fifteenth of next month. The sooner the better."

"I can't wait any longer." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Then as you wish."

"I will inform the Ministry of Rites and ask them to prepare."

"Crown Prince, the wedding of my nephew must naturally be grand." Li Zheng smiled slightly.

"Thank you, uncle."

Li Ke bowed excitedly.

"All right."

"If you have nothing else to do, go back and prepare."

"I still have memorials to deal with." Li Zheng waved his hand.

Li Ke nodded, and then exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "Uncle, you look so domineering in this outfit."

……

Inside the East Palace.

Li Zheng just walked back.

Many wives, concubines, and children in the East Palace came out to greet him.

Everyone looked on in awe.

"Your Majesty is welcome to return to the palace."

As soon as Li Zheng stepped into the East Palace, everyone knelt down in unison, extremely respectful.

now.

Li Zheng has experienced a change in his identity. After his birthday yesterday, the first people to know about it were naturally the palace.

"Be flat."

Li Zheng nodded and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the servants looked on respectfully.

Li Zheng walked slowly to Qin Wan'er and smiled: "Get ready, we will stay in the palace tonight."

"In two days, we will go to the palace to hold the real coronation and enthronement ceremony."

"Yeah." Qin Wan'er nodded and looked at Li Zheng with a smile on her face.

Although preparations are thorough today, it is not a true coronation to the throne, but rather Li Zheng's abdication ceremony. The real coronation ceremony will be held in two days, when the reign title will be determined, and the queen, concubines, and crown prince will be enthroned.

Only after these are accomplished can the succession to the throne be truly completed.

This is also where the rules of etiquette lie.

"Grandpa Zhou."

"get ready."

"Move all the servants of the Eastern Palace to the Imperial Palace." Li Zheng turned and said to Zhou Fusheng.

For Zhou Fusheng.

Li Zheng would naturally not let the person he trusted the most leave the palace. Although the palace had rules, as long as Zhou Fusheng did not enter the harem, there were not so many taboos in the front palace.

The front palace was guarded by imperial guards.

Except for the emperor, there will not be a single male in the harem.

This has been the rule from ancient times to the present.

If you dare to enter the harem without permission, you will be beheaded.

"Today is my father's birthday, and the East Palace is celebrating."

“Everyone was rewarded with gold and silver.”

"Go and make arrangements." Li Zheng smiled and said to all the servants serving here.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Everyone expressed their gratitude.

Then everyone in the East Palace started to get busy.

There's a lot to pack.

There are also many things to do.

And in Chang'an City.

By now the news had spread.

Among the people.

Tavern.

News of the palace's birthday and the current emperor's abdication to the crown prince were spreading everywhere.

"Did you hear that?"

"The current emperor has abdicated and passed the throne to the crown prince."

"nonsense."

"It's not like it's some big secret."

"Right after the birthday banquet, news spread that the crown prince had succeeded to the throne and became the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Great."

"The crown prince will succeed to the throne. With his ability, he will definitely take the Tang Dynasty's national strength to a higher level."

"Yes."

"The crown prince reduced the commercial tax, changed the trade routes, and granted the people good farmland. This kind of grace is a favor to the common people. The crown prince will definitely be a wise ruler when he succeeds to the throne. For this, we must congratulate him."
