Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"This year is a new year, new year and new atmosphere, come on, everyone has something to say, let's talk." Li Ke said helplessly.

Immediately below, a minister stood up and reported the matter.

"I will hand over the memorial to the Hall of Liangyi later." Li Ke said the most words today. It took about an hour or so, and everything was almost said. After only fifteen days of rest, it popped up so many things.

However, Li Ke somewhat expected it, so he was not surprised.

When the matter was almost reported, Li Ke said: "Since you are all fine, let's discuss the next topic, and that is the necessity of canceling the reign of Zhenguan."

As soon as Li Ke's words came out, all the ministers below were stunned.

Because Li Ke hadn't communicated with anyone about this matter, he threw this kind of bomb when he came up... Who the hell could stand it?

"Well, Your Highness Qizuo, did you hear me right?" Wei Zheng couldn't hold back, he stood up and asked.

"No, it is the necessity of canceling the reign of Zhenguan." Li Ke said.

"Your Highness, you are just a supervisor of the country." Wei Zheng couldn't help but say something, this is too outrageous, your words... But if you are not His Majesty's son, you probably have to go to the prison for a while.

"I know, Jian Guo means that I am now fully authorized to handle state affairs on behalf of my father, so I want to cancel the reign of Zhenguan." Li Ke said with a smile.

Everyone: "..."

Everyone looked at Li Ke as if they were looking at a beast, everyone just had the same expression at the moment, did you do it on purpose?

"Your Highness, why don't you tell me the reason?" Li Jing hesitated and said, the main reason is that although he doesn't have a lot of contacts with Li Ke, he feels that he knows Li Ke quite well, so he is not a random person. Or to put it another way, His Royal Highness Qin Wang is not a person who makes trouble without reason.

"It's very simple. My Tang Dynasty wants to build a thousand-year-old foundation. The generals and officials want to achieve or even surpass the feats of champions. You want to surpass Li Si of Qin, Zhang Liang of Han, and maybe even surpass the hundreds of schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period. , the only way is to cancel the reign of Zhenguan." Li Ke said lightly.

As soon as Li Ke's words came out, everyone took a deep breath, good guy...Your Highness, your tone is crazy enough, and you are talking about the ultimate achievements of civil servants and generals.

Who doesn't want to seal the wolf and live in Xu?

"Please elaborate, Your Highness." Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

The reason why he opened his mouth was because Wei Zheng was a loner anyway, and the other civil servants were not easy to talk to, so Wei Zheng could only open his mouth at this time, and the generals couldn't let the general continue to ask, right?

"Before that, I would like to ask you a question. I, Huaxia, from ancient times, the two emperors of Yan and Huang to today's Tang Dynasty. There are even foreign races who once ruled the land of the Central Plains."

"But so far, we still maintain orthodoxy, why?" Li Ke asked everyone a question.

The ministers below were stunned for a moment, and then they became deep in thought. After a while, Fang Xuanling said, "Dare to ask what His Highness said, but I am Chinese culture?"

"That's right! What Xing Guogong said is true. No matter how the foreign race invades, even if they become the ruling class, once they rule the land of the Central Plains, these foreign races will have only one end in the end, and that is to be assimilated by my Chinese culture. This is the true meaning of culture. The strength!"

"Why have Chinese people called themselves Han people since the Han Dynasty, and have gradually accepted the title of Han people? Including me in Tang Dynasty so far?"

"Because Han is the first unified dynasty after Qin unified the six countries, and the Han Dynasty, which lasted for 400 years, carried out unprecedented suppression of all the nomads and barbarians around! And spread Han culture to the small countries in the four directions! This is why It is the reason why many people spontaneously call themselves Han people, and it is also the reason why so far, the people of Tang Dynasty have seen many small countries and can call them barbarians."

"But is this the limit?" Li Ke glanced at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Li Ke talked about a big topic, and everyone could understand it. The question is what do you want to say, Your Highness?

"What I want to tell you today is cultural invasion!" Li Ke said lightly.

Everyone froze for a moment, this is another new word.

"Let's put it this way, after Datang eliminated Tuyuhun last year, it took me less than half a year to completely rule the entire Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun has gradually started to learn Tang dialect and write Tang characters since this year. Why? so easy?"

"It's because they don't have their own culture and are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, so we can quickly absorb them."

"What about the other small countries in the surrounding area? For example, the current important enemy of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo."

"The degree of Sinicization of Goguryeo is so high. I believe everyone has heard about it. I just say that if I destroy Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, the entire Goguryeo Dynasty may completely disappear in history and will not appear again. They are not as good as Nomadic tribes on the grasslands are as difficult to destroy."

"It's because they have a high degree of Sinicization. When we completely wipe out Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty, all the people in Goguryeo will easily integrate into the Tang Dynasty, but the tribes on the grassland are different. The Huns who once ruled the grassland were driven away by the champion. In the West, some of the remaining small tribes rose up and became today's Turks."

"If the Turks are wiped out by my Tang Dynasty again, other small tribes will rise up at that time, such as Xianbei, Jurchen, Tiele, Mongolia and so on."

"Why are these nomads so difficult to eliminate? It is because although they are influenced by our culture, they are not deeply influenced! The degree of assimilation is not enough! This is the necessity of cultural invasion!"

"Think about it, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, Nanzhao, Tubo, etc. around the Tang Dynasty, if they all speak the Tang dialect and write the characters of the Tang Dynasty, then if our Tang Dynasty annexes them in the future, Is it logical to accept the place?" Li Ke asked.

"We can understand what His Highness said, but what does this have to do with changing the name?"

"Don't you understand yet? All cultural invasions can only be formed by subtle influences, and the year name like Zhenguan will obviously change continuously, and the lasting impact is very low, so I decided to change the year name of Zhenguan to a big one. Tang, the first year of Wude was changed to the first year of Datang, and this year is the 19th year of Datang, from now on, Datang will no longer use the year name, but the era of Datang."
