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

Chapter 511: Ascension to the throne and offering sacrifice to heaven
One that displays the temperament of a mother of the country.

Behind the couple.

Li Xian and Li Yan, the two legitimate sons and daughters, also wore the prince's clothes and the princess's palace dress.

Being still young and naive, they had no idea what was going on today, but seeing how solemn everything was around them, they also looked very serious and just followed behind their parents.

Then came Li Yuan, with her son.

Wang Xinyu, Du Qiong, Xiaohong.

They also each brought their own sons.

today.

Their husbands ascended the throne and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth.

And they will also be canonized and truly enter the palace.

Under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials in the court as well as the princes.

Li Zheng held Qin Wan'er's hand and walked towards the altar in the center of the square step by step.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"All officials welcome you respectfully."

Wang De shouted loudly.

echoed.

All officials.

All the princes.

The soldiers guarding the square all knelt down, bowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you. May your Majesty live long and long."

Shouts and sounds of worship echoed throughout the entire imperial palace.

Inside and outside the entire square, only Li Shimin stood on the stairs, silently watching the scene in front of him, with indescribable expectation and full of satisfaction in his eyes.

The vocal music doesn’t stop.

Amid the shouts of praise and worship, Li Zheng and Qin Wan'er walked towards the altar, and gradually climbed up to the altar.

When the couple ascended the altar under the gaze of their ministers.

Li Zheng waved his hand with infinite majesty, "Gentlemen, please stand up." His voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the universe.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." All officials and courtiers said in unison.

"now."

"I ascend the altar to offer sacrifices to the heavens and succeed to the throne."

"All officials shall bear witness to this, and heaven shall bear witness to this."

"I ascend the throne."

"We should inherit our father's great wish, govern the country with benevolence and virtue, and make the Tang Dynasty strong and prosperous."

"Heaven will bear witness to this."

Li Zheng stared at the sky and said loudly.

The voice fell.

Chen Shubao stood under the altar and shouted, "Bring the sacrifices and offer them to the heavens."

echoed.

On one side of the square.

Four dishevelled men were brought up under the escort of dozens of imperial guards.

they.

These were the leaders of the three Turkic tribes and the Khitan tribe that Li Zheng captured during his expedition to the northern border.

The Tang Dynasty has kept them for so long but has never dealt with them.

And today.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and ascending the throne.

Their lives finally came to an end.

Using their lives to sacrifice to heaven was, on the one hand, to punish them, and on the other hand, to demonstrate the martial virtues of the Tang Dynasty and Li Zheng.

All in all, it's a ceremony.

Under the escort of the imperial guards.

The leaders of the four tribes were escorted directly to the altar.

He was kicked to his knees.

Li Zheng looked at the four leaders coldly, there was no mercy in his eyes, only murderous intent.

"cut."

Li Zheng stared for a moment and uttered a word.

The words fell.

One of the imperial guards immediately drew his sword and pressed down on the neck of the leader of the four tribes.

These four people also suffered a lot of torture in prison. At this moment, they all looked hopeless and no longer put up any resistance.

The imperial guards raised their swords and swung them down.

Click.

Blood spurts.

Four heads fell to the ground.

The ten tribal leaders who were once equivalent to the rulers of a country died just like that.

"The sacrifice to heaven has been completed."

"Your Majesty, please make the announcement at the altar." Chen Shubao said loudly.

"I ascend the throne."

"The martial virtues of the Tang Dynasty remain unchanged."

"now."

"We should respond to the court and the world."

"The reign title is 'Jianwu'." "Govern the world with martial virtue."

"The quintessence of the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of years."

"Open up new territories and create a Tang Dynasty where the sun never sets. Wherever the sun rises and sets, it will all be the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This is my wish."

"I am now on the throne."

"I respect my father as the Supreme Emperor, and my mother as the Empress Dowager."

"Respecting the Crown Prince as the Successor Emperor is filial piety and the foundation of the country."

"For the stability of the country."

"Confer the title of Qin Wan'er as the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, and Empress Zhang the Imperial Seal, in charge of the harem."

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

"Appoint Xue Xiaohong as the Ming Consort."

"Appoint Wang Xinyu as the Jade Consort."

"Appoint Du Qiong as Consort Qiong."

"The legitimate son of the Queen and I, Li Xian, will be canonized as the Crown Prince. After he turns thirteen, he can enter the Eastern Palace and start his own household."

"The legitimate daughter, Li Yan, is canonized as Princess An Ning."

"The children born to me and my concubines will be canonized as princes and will live with their mothers."

Li Zheng gazed at the civil and military officials under the altar and announced majestically.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the civil and military officials shouted in unison.

"Sacrifice to the Heaven and ascend the throne."

"Your Majesty, please summon me." Chen Shubao said loudly.

"The Holy Ancestor Gaodi founded the Tang Empire, and the Emperor Taizong succeeded it. The whole world respected him, and the foreign nations respected him as the Heavenly Khan."

"I will take the throne and be called the emperor."

"We should make every effort to create a more prosperous Tang Dynasty."

"The reign title Jianwu does not mean that martial virtue comes first, but that martial virtue and benevolence are combined."

"I am the emperor."

"The great martial virtue of the Tang Dynasty."

"I am the emperor."

"It is the people's livelihood that matters to the Tang Dynasty."

"I am the emperor."

"I want no one to die of starvation or freezing within the borders of the Tang Dynasty."

"I will complete this task within three years." Li Zheng stared at all his ministers and set a goal directly.

Hear the words.

All the ministers looked at Li Zheng in shock.

They were very respectful of this oath.

From ancient times to the present.

Even if the world is stable, it is almost impossible to prevent everyone in the country from starving or freezing to death.

Even if the world has a good harvest.

The result was the same. The population of the Tang Dynasty was too large, and there were people of all kinds, hardworking, lazy, evil, and good.

A country is a colorful world.

There are too many uncertain factors, and they are too big.

But Li Zheng's bold words when he ascended the throne were just bold words to every minister. It was not easy to fulfill them.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the ministers shouted in unison, not daring to refute.

"Your Majesty."

"Let's go into the Taiji Hall to discuss matters."

"The new dynasty has begun, and everything will begin to move." Li Zheng said to the ministers, waved his hand, and then took Qin Wan'er down the altar and walked towards the Taiji Hall.

On the stairs.

Li Shimin stood there waiting.

"Father."

"The son has completed the great ceremony." Li Zheng bowed to Li Shimin, and then he was put in a crown and robe, with infinite majesty.

"From now on, the emperor has truly grown up."

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore."

"From now on, this world is yours, and this Tang Dynasty is your Tang Dynasty."

"I will watch you raise the power of the Tang Dynasty to a whole new level."

"I will see the most glorious era of the Tang Dynasty born in my son's hands."

"Okay, go to the meeting."

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng with satisfaction.

Subsequently.

Hands behind back.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Taiji Hall. After ruling the country for decades, he was very familiar with everything in this hall. Now it was finally time for their final farewell.

There was nostalgia in Li Shimin's eyes, and even a kind of silent reluctance.

But in the end.

He turned his head and stopped looking.

He resolutely turned around and left, walking towards his own palace.
