Why did you change the the facts of  the grand ancestor Tang to you being the grand ancestor?

I changed those facts to me being the ancestor of the Tang dynasty because I wanted people to believe and know that I was the one who develop the Tang dynasty.

Why did you decide to expand the empire?

I decided to expand the empire so that the trade roots would be closer and easier to get to. Also so that I could have a better contact and access to the other places we were trading with.

Why did you add Buddhism as a second religion in the dynasty?

I added Buddhism as a second religion because I was really interested in the religion and their beliefs, so I just wanted to add that religion.


 Why did you kill your siblings?

I killed my siblings because I felt I should become the next emperor to rule the empire. I also killed them because that was the only way for me to get next in line and because I helped my father a lot when he ruled the dynasty. So I felt that someone as educated as me should have been next to rule the dynasty.

 Did you think that china will be affected by the change of the religion?

I did not think that the religion I added will affect people at all.I think adding the religion will help people learn something new and different.
