    ?Li Ke ascended the throne under the dissuasion of ministers and black-clad guards. His reign name was Yuan Hao. He became the third emperor of the Tang Empire and was called Emperor Shengzong of the Tang Dynasty, or Tang Shengzong for short.  .

    The first thing Li Ke did after he ascended the throne was to enfeoff meritorious officers and punish rebellious traitors.

    The enfeoffed ministers were first of all his confidant generals. He changed the title of Qinghai King Su Dingfang to the Northwest King. He was fully responsible for the northwest military affairs and began to prepare for war to attack the Western Regions.  Let Xu Jingzong go to Qingtang City to take over Di Zhisun's position, mobilize Di Zhisun to serve as Shangshu Youpushe in the center, and let Cen Wenwen serve as Zuopushe.  Wei Zheng still served as the servant of the province under his command, and promoted Ma Zhou to the position of Zhongshu Ling.  Immediately, he appointed Li Mengchang as the governor of Bingzhou, Pei Xinglian as the governor of Daizhou, Chen Qi as the governor of Nanya, the black-clothed guard returned to the control and command of Nanya, and Du Junchuo was appointed as the governor of Beiya.  Let Meng Zhao serve as a general and follow Su Dingfang to conquer the Western Regions. Wang Zhongchang should lead the Eagle Guard to assume Meng Zhao's position. He still uses the Eagle Guard to protect him and renames the Eagle Guard as the Great Chamberlain.  Let the Wolf Cavalry Battalion be responsible for the security of the imperial city.

    After dealing with these problems, he began to deal with the problems in the clan.

    For Li Tai, Li Ke made him Sikong. Not only did he not have the power to exploit him, but he also made him in charge of the imperial examinations and education of the Tang Dynasty.  Li Tai saw Li Ke's sincerity and happily accepted the order.  Li Zhi is still the King of the South, but Li Zhi wants to study painting and study at Taiyuan Han College, and Li Ke readily agrees.  Li Ke did not punish Li Chengqian, but imprisoned him in a mansion in Chang'an.

    Li Ke ascended the throne, and not long after, a great victory came from Liaodong.  It is said that Liu Rengui led the army to destroy the Kingdom of Koryo and killed the King of Koryo.  The Turkic elite cavalry in Landong became an army of butchers. Wherever the Tang army went, they would be massacred by others, and the population of Liaodong dropped sharply.  Li Ke asked Liu Rengui and Landong to return to Chang'an, and they went to Chang'an to offer prisoners. Li Ke made Landong a general and served under Liu Rengui's account. He made Liu Rengui the king of Northern Liao and began to stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

    After these promotions and appointments, the situation of the Tang Dynasty began to stabilize, and Li Ke's throne was also secure!

    On this day, Li Ke came to a house in Chang'an City.

    The entire courtyard was guarded by his personal bodyguards, the Eagle Guards, and Chen Qi's Nanya Imperial Guards were also guarding the outside.

    Li Ke walked into the yard and came to the garden behind, and found Li Chengqian playing with the birds alone.

    Seeing Li Ke, Li Chengqian did not salute, but said lightly, "Li Ke, when do you want to deal with Gu?"

    "Brother, do you think it is necessary for me to deal with you?" Li Ke asked.

    Li Chengqian was stunned, and then replied after a while, "You really don't have this need - if not, why do you still imprison Gu?"

    "Brother, do you want to hear my thoughts?" Li Ke asked.

    "You speak -" Li Chengqian said.

    "Okay -" Li Ke said loudly, like a wink from the commander-in-chief Wang, who left. After a moment, he found that the East King Li Tai and the South King Li Zhi had come to the yard, and even Qi King Li You also came in front of everyone.

    When the three of them saw Li Ke, they all bowed and saluted, "My brother, I have seen the emperor¡ª¡ª"

    "We are all brothers, so there is no need to be polite - just sit down!" Li Ke said, taking his seat first.

    When everyone was seated, Zhongchang Wang spread out a map on the table. Li Ke said with a smile, "Look at this map - this is a map of the Western countries that I asked my subordinate Meng Shan to spend seven years drawing.  ¡ª¡ªThe countries whose names are recorded above have fertile land and sparse population, which are very suitable for the people of the Tang Dynasty to live in¡ª¡ª"

    Li Ke said this and moved his eyes to Li Tai.

    Li Tai glanced at Li Ke, with joy in his eyes, "The emperor means-"

    "Yes -" Li Ke said, "As long as there are countries on the map, I will conquer them, and then the people who migrated to the Tang Dynasty will live wherever they go. But who should rule these countries? If states and counties are established, they will  It is not easy to control because it is far away from Chang'an and Taiyuan. I mean that we can only set up a vassal state, but there are always people who can suppress the vassal and become the king. I don't want the land laid down by the Tang Dynasty to become the property of outsiders. I wonder if you guys want to go?  "

    "Third brother - are you telling the truth?" Li You asked happily, forgetting to call him third brother, and directly called him third brother Li Ke.

    "Are my words very false?" Li Ke asked rhetorically.

    At this time, Li Chengqian also came to his senses, and his eyes glowed, "Your Majesty, do you really want them to rule these countries?" His tone also changed, calling Li Ke the emperor, and acknowledging Li Ke's  Orthodox status.

    "What do you think, brother?" Li Ke asked.

    "Isn't the Emperor afraid of us?" Li Chengqian said and fell silent, but Li Ke understood the meaning of his words.

    "Brother, the Tang Dynasty capturedIt would take at least forty years to govern these lands and turn them into vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.  Li Ke smiled and said, "I think it will take thirty years for you to rebel even if you want to, but can you survive that long?"  Even if your descendants succeed to the throne, they will be the ones appointed by me¡ª¡ª"

    When Li Ke said this, he stopped talking, but everyone knew what he meant.

    When the four of them glanced at Li Ke, they all showed a hint of joy.

    When Li Ke returned to the palace, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

    Because, he had already had a series of ideas in his mind about establishing a vassal state for this Western Expedition.

    However, what worries Li Ke is that he still has not appointed a queen, let alone a crown prince.

    He was also hesitating, who should be the queen, Ashina Yun?  Or Wu Meiniang?  According to Ashina Yun, will Charming Niang be willing to be inferior to her?  The position of the prince is the same. Should Li Ren be canonized as the prince?  Or should Li Xian be the crown prince?  Li Ke was hesitant in his heart.

    On this day, Li Ke summoned Di Zhisun, Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and others to Liangyi Palace to discuss the issue of the crown prince.

    After a long discussion, everyone¡¯s final opinion was to appoint the eldest son Li Ren as the crown prince and Ashina Yun as the queen.  Li Ke did not express his position immediately, but asked everyone to leave. He returned to the study room of Ganquan Palace and thought quietly for a long time before deciding on the final candidate.  Ashina Yun was appointed queen, Li Ren was appointed crown prince, Li Yi was appointed king of the north, and Li Xian was appointed king of Jing. At the same time, the son born to the Tubo princess was also granted the title of king.

    At the same time, Li Ke asked Du Junchuo, the governor of Beiya, to start rectifying the Beiya army, which meant abolishing the government military system and implementing a professional military system.  The Twelve Guards Army was reorganized into the Beiya Forbidden Army. The color of the military uniforms was yellow, and the army was called Jinyiwei.  Nanya's army is still Li Ke's hardcore army, still called the Black Guards.  All aspects of the adapted Jinyiwei have been improved, and the generals inside are all composed of students who graduated from the Army Academy.  Suddenly, Jin Yiwei slowly established his position in Chang'an, and gradually began to compete with Nanya's black guards.

    As the emperor, Li Ke, this is the result he most wants to see.

    Because, only in this way can his rights be balanced.

    However, what he didn't expect was that his son had already set his mind on the black and golden guards.

    Prince Li Ren naturally focused on the army of Northern Liao King Liu Rengui, because there were Turkic elite cavalry in this army, and he had Turkic blood, so he could better control this army; Northern King Li Yi targeted the Jinyiwei.  Because Jin Yiwei was being formed, which gave him a chance.  King Jing Li Xian set his sights on the black-clad guards.  This was based on Wu Meiniang's suggestion. When the 500 Eagle Guards wiped out the 2,000 Jinwu Guards at the gate of Beiwang Mansion, Wu Meiniang recognized the strong fighting power of the Black Guards, so she let her son choose the Black Guards.

    Li Ke did not stop his three sons from doing what they did, but he saw one aspect of his character in them.

    Li Ren has a Turkic nature in his heart, Li Yi likes to be steady and realistic, and Li Xian dares to challenge himself.

    In the spring of the second year of Yuanhao, Li Ke ordered the northwest king Su Dingfang to launch a battle order against the Western Regions.

    At the same time, he ordered Liu Rengui, the king of Northern Liao, to lead a navy of 30,000 people to march eastward to Fusang.

    The Tang Dynasty ushered in an imperial era after Li Ke ascended the throne.

    In the history books of later generations, historians call the Tang Dynasty during Li Ke's period the Tang Empire era of Shengzong.

    The Age of Empire means that Li Ke likes colonization and invasion.  Please go to see the first release without ads.
