Chapter 10
It was already noon after the enthronement ceremony ended, according to the previous regulations, ministers of fifth rank and above should be reserved for a banquet in Linde Hall of Tai Chi Palace.

However, the Tai Chi Palace is still Li Yuan's residence now, and it has not been given up to Li Shimin, so Li Shimin is naturally inconvenient to requisition, so he put the banquet venue in Guangtian Palace next to Neifang.

"Clang, clang, clang"

In the Guangtian Palace, there was a burst of zither sounds slanting out like flowing water, followed by a burst of dense drums, making people feel like they were on the battlefield after a big victory.

"Resigned by the law to the head of state, the prime minister will punish the traitors. The salty songs break the battle and enjoy the peace. Be loyal to Dayou. After you look at the Yange, it will be a peaceful autumn."

The first piece of Qin King's Breaking the Battle was composed in the third year of Wude, when Li Shimin defeated Liu Wuzhou. At that time, Guanzhong celebrated together, and the soldiers filled in the old song with new lyrics, so they composed this song to celebrate the victory.

At that time Li Ke was young, only two years old, so naturally he was unable to witness the grand event, but listening to it now, he still feels magnificent and extraordinary.

Playing Qin Wang's broken formation music, minister Li Shimin's protocol before the banquet, after one piece is played, the banquet begins.

Although it was a palace banquet to celebrate Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, after a while of pleasantries, it was still inevitable to discuss government affairs between the court and China, and Li Ke naturally couldn't get in the way.

Li Ke stood for a long time in the morning, and his stomach was already empty. Li Ke only listened with his ears, but he never stopped talking.Li Tai, the fat man sitting next to Li Ke, saw Li Ke like this, so he also ate his chopsticks. Only Li Chengqian, who was not much older than them, but had to pay attention to the prince's manners, sat beside him pretending to be old, but his eyes were quite A bit envious.

"Today is the first time I have ascended the throne, and I want to determine the name of the next year. Do you have any suggestions?" The name of the new emperor is a big deal, and after drinking for three rounds, Li Shimin proposed it in public.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and it was the proper meaning to set up another year name, which has been the case since ancient times.However, the year name is of great significance and unusual, and non-dynasty dignitaries or educated people dare not speak out.

While everyone was thinking, Kong Yingda, who already had a draft in her chest, stood up.

Kong Yingda stood up and said, "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that I think the world is peaceful and stable, and we should pay more attention to literary matters. I think the word 'Zhaowen' is very good."

Kong Yingda is the descendant of Confucius, Wen Zong of Hainei, and one of the eighteen scholars of Hongwen Museum. He naturally has enough weight to mention this year name, but the year name he proposed has caused a lot of trouble.

The so-called Zhaowen, Guangzhao's literary affairs also means that the world is now in peace, and military affairs should be followed, and literary affairs should be the first. Kong Yingda is a Confucianist, so it is reasonable to think so, but he did not consider that now There are quite a few military officials sitting in Guangtian Hall.

"The Turks have not been destroyed, and the Western Regions, Liaodong, and Tubo have not been pacified. How can the military equipment be neglected? Kong Yingda's words are simply harboring evil intentions."

As soon as Kong Yingda's words came out, all the Wuchengs in the Manchu Dynasty couldn't sit still, among them, Chen Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde's tempers were the most irritable, and they almost pointed at Kong Yingda's face and scolded them.

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, there were not so many rules, and most of these military officials were people who followed Li Shimin to fight the country, so they didn't take Kong Yingda seriously.

However, Kong Yingda was also a tough guy. Facing these fierce generals who were like wolves and tigers, he was not to be outdone.

"Qu Jing, you must know that you are all ministers of the court, not merchants in the market, how noisy it is now!" Seeing this, Li Shimin suddenly gave a soft drink, calling to stop the chaotic scene in front of him.

When Li Shimin spoke, everyone shut their mouths angrily.

Li Shimin ordered: "However, if there are proposals, everyone should write them on paper, and the servants will hand them over to me, and there should be no noise."

Most of those military officials were born in the army. Although they know a little bit of writing, they are still quite superficial. It is not difficult for them to go to battle and kill the enemy. It took a cup of tea, but only a dozen or so alternative year names were presented.

Zhangwu, Zhenheng, Yuanchu, Xianxing.
Li Shimin chanted these year names, but frowned slightly. Obviously, none of these year names satisfied him.

But not only Li Shimin was frowning in the hall, but also Li Ke who was sitting on the right side of Li Shimin.

Li Ke's seat was very close to Li Shimin. Li Ke listened for a long time, but he still didn't hear the year name in his mind.

"Huh?" Li Ke frowned slightly, and called out softly.

Although Li Ke's voice was not loud and could only be heard by a few people around him, it was still a bit impolite to say it carefully. After all, these year names were all proposed by the ministers of the court, and Li Ke should never praise or criticize anything as a child.

Disrespect is a bit disrespectful after all, but Li Ke was young, and it was not a big deal at first, but Li Ke's reaction happened to fall into the eyes of Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji thought of Li Ke's abnormality today, and unexpectedly gave birth to the idea of ​​turning a small matter into a big deal. mean.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu seems to be dissatisfied. Could it be that he also has a draft in his chest?" Changsun Wuji asked in a low voice, but because their seats were very close to Li Shimin, they happened to be heard by Li Shimin.

Li Ke didn't expect Changsun Wuji to say that suddenly, he instinctively looked up in Li Shimin's direction, only to see that Li Shimin looked at him with a little doubt in his eyes.

Li Ke is very clear that this is Changsun Wuji who is digging a hole for Li Ke. If Li Ke can't answer Changsun Wuji's question, he will definitely leave an impression on Li Shimin of being ignorant, pampered and arrogant. Ke is extremely unfavorable, and in this way, Li Ke will also imperceptibly offend the ministers of the DPRK and China who proposed the reign name, and freeze the relationship.

And Changsun Wuji also expected Li Ke's young age, so how could he come up with a year name that would satisfy Li Shimin? After all, Li Shimin's question was so sudden today that even many ministers in the court were questioned, let alone Li Ke who had just been enlightened.

Li Ke and Changsun Wuji, who were above Tang history, were deadly enemies. In the end, Li Ke died in the hands of Changsun Wuji, but now Li Ke is only eight years old, and it is far from the time when he can threaten the status of the prince. I never thought that Changsun Wuji would be interested in him so early.

Li Ke had no time to think about Changsun Wuji's thoughts, because Li Shimin's eyes were already fixed on him at this time.

"Oh? Hutou also has a proposed year name to submit?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked curiously.

At this time, Li Ke had no way out, so Li Ke met Li Shimin's suspicious eyes, so he stood up bravely, leaned over and said, "I just wanted to get a year name by accident, and I wanted to use it to relieve my father's worries. But I feel that I have little talent and little knowledge, and I don't know whether I should make a fool of myself in front of my father and other well-educated people."

Li Shimin listened to Li Ke's words, and said with a smile: "It's good for the tiger head to have such a heart. You can just say it, and all the ministers will correct it for you."

"No." Li Ke replied loudly.

After Li Ke finished answering Li Shimin's words, he paused for a while, and then, under the attention of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and other civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he uttered two words: "Zhenguan."
