In 626 during the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin assassinated two of his brothers, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, at the Incident at Xuanwu Gate. Two months later, he ascended to the throne as Emperor Taizong of Tang. He named his era of reign "Zhenguan". Taizong had to deal with external threats from the aggressive Tujue in the north and bring peace and prosperity to his empire. During his rule, China flourished in various aspects and the Zhenguan era was considered to be one of the golden ages in Chinese history.
