After the morning court, the Emperor Li Xian of the Tang Dynasty returned to the Shenlong Hall and sat down in front of the imperial case. He reported that the Empress came to see him. When Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows. He remembered the Queen's scandal posted to Tianjin Bridge. It was only two days before it had spread throughout Chang'an City. How could he show his face happily?
There was a light sound of ringing the penis, and Empress Wei slowly walked in. Seeing the emperor's face, she waved her hand and asked all the palace maids to retreat, and asked: I won't come to see you every day, and I will cry as soon as I meet. What does this mean?
Li Xian shook his head and sighed: Ah, look like you are fine. The good things you and Sansi have made are already causing trouble in the world. The streets and alleys are discussed, and I have lost all my face to you!
Empress Wei's face darkened, she sat next to him and said: You are asking for it yourself. I told you that these five guys are not good things. You always ignore them. Now that I finally got into trouble, but who is going to blame.
Although Li Xian was foolish, he had already known about his wife and Wu Sansi. However, as a cuckold turtle, most of them were people who covered their ears and stole the bells. He hated others to reveal their shortcomings the most.
Li Xian did not want to kill Wu Sansi and was willing to be a turtle. In addition to his and Empress Wei, this promise was not only his cousin, but also his in-laws. His daughter Princess Anle and Wu Sansi's son are husband and wife. If he was punished, his son-in-law Wu Chongxun would be involved.
If Wu Sansi really killed it, it would be difficult to explain to his wife and daughter. Even the ministers who supported Li Tang did not take action against Wu Sansi in the past, and it was also taking this in-law relationship into consideration, which led to the situation today. One by one, one loyal ministers died without a place to be buried.
Seeing that her husband did not speak, Empress Wei said again: Although the five of them are now exiled, another thing has burned to her body again.
Li Xian looked at Empress Wei and asked: What's the matter?
Empress Wei said: Your precious son-in-law Wang Tongjiao is plotting to rebel. He and Zhang Zhongzhi, Zu Yanqing, Shouchun, Zhou Jing and Wang Ju are planning to assassinate Sansi and take advantage of the situation to rush the army to the imperial city. Do you know?
When Li Xian heard the word "rebellion" the most vigilant, he immediately widened his eyes and asked: How could Wang Tongjiao do such a thing? Where did you know?
Empress Wei said: Someone reported to Sansi yesterday. Sansi immediately asked Song Tan and Li Xu to investigate to see if the matter is true or not. If it is true, it would be a big problem!
After hearing this, Li Xian was half-believing and half-doubted for a moment. He knew that Wang Tongjiao had always been loyal to him and had made great contributions when he restored the throne, so he would marry his daughter Princess Ding'an to him. How could he have a rebellion?
Speaking of the fourth year of Chang'an, Wu Zetian's health was getting worse and worse.
The court officials' anti-Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi became more and more intense.
At this time, Wu Zetian could no longer attend the court, and all government affairs were handed over to the prime ministers. Although the imperial doctors worked hard to treat, their condition still did not improve.
Seeing this situation, the male favorites of the Zhang brothers couldn't help but worry. If Wu Zetian returned to heaven, the ministers in the court would definitely not let them go. It was the day when the two died, so how could they not be nervous.
The two Zhang had no choice but to ask for help from a few friendly people, so they could handle it.
However, because the two of them were too arrogant and did not have the job of winning over military generals, no one could help them when things came to an end.
In Yingxian Palace, except for the Zhang brothers, Wu Zetian was surrounded by imperial doctors, eunuchs, palace maids, etc., and there were a few soldiers in the palace who served as guards, so there was not even an imperial guard.
This kind of unprepared phenomenon is rare.
This unpreventable situation may be due to Wu Zetian's 50 years of dictatorship. She believes that it is impossible for a betrayer to appear at that time, so she will take a safe attitude. Perhaps it is because of illness that makes her lose her vigilance.
In fact, Wu Zetian knew very well that as long as she was summoned by God one day, it was the day when the Zhang brothers died. She did not make any arrangements for the safety of the two, which was enough to prove that
From the beginning, Er Zhang's fate has long been destined. It is an unchangeable fact that sacrificing death for the monarch. This is the ruthlessness of the dictator.
What the prime ministers are most worried about now is what if Wu Zetian personally wrote the ink edict and wanted to give the throne to Zhang Changzong?
Although this opportunity is impossible, no matter how wise the monarch is, he is a little confused for a while. Moreover, he is suffering from illness for a long time and cannot avoid making some strange actions.
Now, the only way is to make Wu Zetian abdicate. Even if he resorts to force, he must support Prince Li Xian as the emperor and revive Li Tang Jiangshan.
In this plan, there are two prime ministers, Zhang Jianzhi and Cui Xuanwei, as well as the Secretary of the Shangshu Right Chief Jinghui, the Secretary of the Zheng Shaoqing Huan Yanfan, and the Right Taizhong Chief Yuan Shuji, and the Old Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi serves as the leader.
The five people believed that if things were to be successful, they had to hold military power, which was the most important thing. Their goal was Li Duozuo, the general of the Right Yu Lin Guard.
Zhang Jianzhi also recommended Huan Yanfan, Jinghui and Li Zhan, the Right Sanqi Shishou, to be the left and right Yulin Generals, so that they could control the imperial guards.
This operation is highly confidential, even if parents, wife and children are not leaked
Only Huan Yanfan was worried about his elderly mother, so he finally decided to explain the whole story and asked his mother to forgive him.
After hearing this, my mother said with tears in her eyes and resolutely: Loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. We should think that loyalty is the first priority of the country.
In the middle of the first lunar month, Huan Yanfan and Jinghui secretly met Prince Li Xian, explained all actions to him and asked for permission.
Seeing that the two of them were speaking upright, Li Xian finally nodded in agreement.
On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, Zhang Jianzhi, Cui Xuanwei, Huan Yanfan, Xue Sixing, and others led 500 Yulin troops to Xuanwu Gate, and sent Li Duozuo, Li Zhan and Wang Tongjiao to the East Palace to welcome the prince.
Wang Tongjiao was appointed as the direct man in the prince's uterus at that time, and was under the sixth rank. He had not yet married Princess Ding'an.
At this moment, although they had made an agreement in advance, Li Xian became scared and refused to go out on the pretext of an excuse.
Everyone was immediately anxious that if the prince did not participate in the coup, it would become a rebellion of the ministers.
Wang Tongjiao Su knew Li Xian's character, and now he knew the righteousness and said earnestly: The late emperor gave His Highness a divine weapon, and His Highness was deposed by the nobles. God and the gods are angry. Now God accepts our loyalty, and sends together with the generals of the Yulin in the North Gate and the prime ministers of the South Gate to work together to fight against the evil and restore the Li Tang country. Please ask Your Majesty to go to Xuanwu Gate quickly, personally caress the public, and enter the palace to punish the rebels.
Li Xian was still frightened and hesitated and did not dare to act. He said: The two Zhang Chengs should be killed, but the sage's jade body is inconsistent, which may damage the sacred body. Then he is a son and a minister. You should not delay it for a while and then make a picture of the next picture.
Seeing his cowardly attitude, all the ministers felt helpless. Li Zhan had always been upright and said sternly: All the soldiers abandoned their family's lives and died for the country. How could His Highness push everyone into the cauldron? In this case, please ask His Majesty to personally inform everyone and decide to stop.
Seeing this, Li Xian stood up, but looked forward and did not dare to move his steps.
Wang Tongjiao hurriedly said: It is not appropriate to be delayed, and there will be changes. Today's affairs are afraid that your highness will not be able to escape the disaster. Now only by taking action immediately can you save your life.
After hearing this, Li Xian realized that he was a horse and could no longer give up. He had to walk out reluctantly. Seeing his appearance, Wang Tongjiao made up his mind and picked up Li Xian and put it on the back of the horse. He held the reins on his behalf and went straight to Xuanwu Gate.
The rebel army first gathered in the Xuanwu Gate Guard Garden. When he saw Li Xian coming, he rushed to the inner hall without waiting for him to speak. He met the defenders who resisted, and they would be killed.
The Zhang brothers suddenly heard the sound of military boots and rushed to the palace gate, intending to find out what happened. Just as the Yulin Army rushed into the palace, Zhang Jianyi saw the two of them, and with an order, the Yulin Army rushed up, and the sword flashed, and they split the two into several pieces, without even the chance to shout.
Zhang Jianzhi led the generals straight to the bedroom. Seeing the guards standing in front of the hall, they were scolded by Zhang Jianzhi.
Wu Zetian heard the crowd of voices, and knew that there was a change, so he tried hard to support his body and asked sternly: Who dares to cause trouble?
Li Zhan took a step forward and replied: Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi rebelled. I was ordered by the crown prince and killed him. Because I was afraid that there would be any leakage, I did not report to me beforehand that I knew that I had claimed that the military palace was banned and that I should have been killed!
Although Wu Zetian was sick, he heard that Er Zhang was killed. His eyes suddenly opened and brightened. A terrifying spirit pressed towards everyone. When the soldiers saw it, they couldn't help but look away. Taiban actually lowered his head.
Wu Zetian's eyes slowly swept towards everyone, landing directly on Li Xian's face who was about to hide, and said in a deep voice: Very good, very good, it turns out that it was your good thing!
Li Xian trembled all over, and he lowered his head and looked down and did not dare to say anything.
Wu Zetian suppressed the anger in his heart, and a contemptuous expression appeared on his face.
Wu Zetian shook her head: Since they have killed you, let's go back to your East Palace!
Huan Yanfan hurriedly took a big step forward, and then knelt down and said: How can the Prince's Highness return to the Eastern Palace? The former emperor handed over his beloved son to His Majesty. Now that this year, the will of heaven has grown, and the will of heaven has returned to the crown prince for a long time. I will not forget the kindness of the former emperor. I will kill the treacherous ministers on the order of the prince. I hope that Your Majesty will pass on the throne to the crown prince, and follow the will of heaven and the lower deputy people will hope.
Seeing that the human relationship was inconvenient, Wu Zewu refused sternly, so he had to silently refuse. While he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Li Zhan standing in front of the door and sighed: I didn’t expect you are also a member of the chaos army. I treat you father and son well, but unexpectedly participated in this conspiracy!
After hearing this, Li Zhan bowed his head speechlessly
Li Zhan is the son of Li Yi Mansion. At that time, Li Yi Mansion was notorious. His eldest son Li Jin, second son Li Qia, third son Li Yang, and son-in-law Liu Yuanzhen were exiled for accepting bribes.
At that time, Li Zhan and his family were exiled to Lingnan.
It was not until the first year of Shangyuan that the world was amnesty, and Li Zhan returned to Luoyang. Soon the court allowed him to serve as an official. Last year, Wu Zetian made a special approval and asked him to serve as the important position of General Qianniu Guard.
Wu Zetian turned his eyes to Prime Minister Cui Xuanwei. Seeing that he was wearing armor and looked like a military general, he couldn't help but sigh: Most of these people were recommended by you recently, but you are the ones I personally promoted, and he actually betrayed me!
Cui Xuanwei saw that Li Zhan was ashamed and looked extremely embarrassed. He thought that he must boost morale at that time to avoid giving up halfway. He has always been good at speaking and said, and immediately replied: I participated in this action, all for the overall situation. Only by doing this can we truly repay His Majesty's great kindness.
This sentence is a bit emphatic, but I can't stop saying it.
When the army was launched, Zhang Dongzhi had already imprisoned Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Changyi and Zhang Changqi to prison, and were executed in prison on the same day.
The heads of the five people were hung on the Tianjin Bridge for public display. Over the five heads, crows were flying and screaming in horror.
On the same day, Yuan Shuji persuaded Prime Minister Li Dan to lead the troops in Nanya to guard the army just in case, and the two Zhang's accomplices, including Prime Minister Wei Chengqing, Fang Rong, Si Liqing Cui Shenqing and others, were arrested and imprisoned.
The next day, Wu Zetian issued an amnesty, ordered the Crown Prince Li Xian to supervise the country, and at the same time, the general amnesty of the world
This amnesty was obviously planned by Zhang Jianzhi and others to stamp the jade seal on their own and release it.
As the supervisor of the country, Li Xian was still in a daze and had not yet come back to his mind. Everything was left to Zhang Jianzhi to arrange for him, like a puppet
In the name of Li Xian, Zhang Jianzhi appointed Yuan Shuji as the Minister of Fengge on the same day and squeezed into the prime minister.
Yuan Shuji formulated an imperial edict, and Pat envoy appeased the states
In another day, Wu Zetian knew that she could no longer win back the situation and officially announced that she would give way to Li Xian.
On January 24, the first year of Shenlong, Wu Zetian finally ended her decades of rule.
On the 25th, Prince Li Xian ascended the throne in Tongtian Palace, and a man actually sat on the throne of the king twice. This is a rare honor in history.
Li Xian sat in front of the imperial case, his mind was in chaos, and he was still thinking: How did all the people who helped me ascend the throne betrayed me? This is the case with the Five Kings, but now even my son-in-law is like this, and they all go against me!
Empress Wei said: Do you know what Wang Tongjiao said outside? He said he thought about being lewd by me and endangering the country and the country. But you ignore the emperor and only care about your own lewdness. Do you say you are angry or not?
Wen Li Xian changed color when she heard this, and she brushed her clothes and said angrily: What a bold slave!
The man threw a word and turned around and walked into the inner hall
When Shuwei saw it, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, knowing that Li Xian was angry.
As expected, the next day, Li Xian ordered the censor Li Chengjia and the inspector Yao Shaozhi to investigate the truth of the matter thoroughly.
Appointing the Minister of the Secretariat Yang Zaisi, the Minister of History Li Jiao, and the Minister of Justice Wei Juyuan to conduct a trial
In Pingkangfang, many first-class brothels are hidden among the weeping willows and green willows. The environment here is very elegant, with the sound of silk and bamboo, and the singing and singing are so mellow that the wanderer is so enchanting.
Chunhualou is a famous brothel in Chang'an, located between the Nanqu and Zhongqu of Pingkangfang
The environment and design of famous brothels in Chang'an are similar. Generally, there is a restaurant and tea room in the front building. The prostitute only drinks and drinks and teas here to make fun of it with singing and dancing, which is different from other general brothels.
Through the hall in front of Chunhua Building, there is a spacious courtyard
The courtyard is full of flowers, bamboo and strange stones, and the mountains are covered with green mountains.
There are small rooms in the corridor, occasionally singing and music, and whispering laughter. If it weren't for the sound of picking up and seeing off guests, it would be hard to imagine that this is a brothel that is having sex with flesh.
Most of the prostitutes in Chunhualou are rich daughters, and even come from official families. They are only because of the decline of their family or their father and brother, and some are singers from the left and right schools. Many of them are famous prostitutes in Chang'an City.
The maid who opens a brothel is very cheap, but the price is naturally expensive. Ordinary businessmen can enjoy singing and dancing in the front building. If they want prostitutes to accompany them for a night or find famous prostitutes to write poems, the price is really shocking. If they are not high-ranking officials and wealthy people, they may not be lucky to be saved.
Wang Ju didn't know that his and Wang Tongjiao's plan had been broken. He planned to go to Chunhua Tower to see Xiaoxin, the woman he loved deeply. He stepped onto the steps, and the brothel came up with a smile.
This bustress is only in her thirties and is still very pretty, beautiful and charming, which is quite incomparable to her identity.
It turns out that the brothel was named Meng Chun. Everyone calls her Chunjie. She was the first-class prostitute when she was young. During the Chuigong period, she was the outer room of a wealthy businessman. She accumulated some money. After the rich businessman died, she was not tolerated by her family in the mansion, so she simply returned to her old career and trained a few good girls to become a brothel.
Wang Ju is from Hanoi, Huaizhou. His courtesy name is Shaogu. He is smart and talented.
He loved fishing when he was a child, but he was unique and unique. He made a fishing fishing tool for a wooden otter and carved the wood into the shape of an otter. The otter's mouth was equipped with a moving mechanism, which could open and close, put a bait in his mouth, and a stone was hung under his belly. When fishing, he used a bamboo pole to put the wooden otter into the water, and sank the weight of the stone at the bottom of the water. When the fish swam into the otter and stuttered the bait, it touched the machine spring, and the otter's mouth immediately bit the fish, and the hanging stone fell off at the same time, floating out of the water.
At that time, Wang Ju was only about ten years old. Just looking at his ingenuity, he knew that he was a wise man and was truly extraordinary.
Wang Ju made friends and had a strong relationship with Li Longji. He participated in the killing of Wu Sansi this time. One is to hate what Wu Sansi and Empress Wei did, and the other is to Li Longji. He knew that Wu Sansi would not die, and Li Longji's family would be in danger. While he talked with Li Longji, he also hinted that this action was done.
Li Longji was shocked at the time. He knew that Wu Sansi had many eyeliners and it was not easy to assassinate him. He hurriedly told him not to be reckless, and he must think twice and not to take the initiative.
When Wang Ju heard this, he had to stammer.
The brothel Meng Chun took Wang Ju's hand and led him to a room. She sat down in the front hall and sent someone to serve tea. She took the little girl to the backyard to inform Xiaoxin, and sat down and said to Wang Ju: Xiaoxin is so worried that Mr. Wang hasn't come for a few days!
After hearing this, Wang Ju was stunned and asked hurriedly: Is it true? Is Xin'er better?
Meng Chun smiled slightly: It should be nothing serious. She has been resting for a few days and it has improved a lot, but I don’t understand. Since the young master has redeemed Xiaoxin, she should be happy. But in the past two or three days, seeing her being frownful and worried, I asked her many times, but Xiaoxin always shook her head and didn’t answer. What happened to you two?
After hearing this, Wang Ju was both happy and painful. What was painful was that she shouldn’t have told her about her plan this time, which made her worry all day long and she got sick!
What I am happy about is that I know that Xiaoxin has true feelings for her
In contrast, for this big event, I only gathered with Wang Tongjiao and others for several days, but forgot her and shouted in secret. I felt ashamed.
As Wang Ju thought, a tinging sound of a ringing penis turned into his ears, and then a faint fragrance floated in. Wang Ju immediately woke up, felt excited, and quickly stood up
A beautiful and refined person gasped slightly and hurriedly walked in. She was wearing a red silk robe, with a little sadness on her face, as if Jiaona was beyond the breeze. When she saw Wang Ju, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and two beads of tears flowed out and threw themselves into Wang Ju's arms.
Meng Chun quit the room tactfully and brought the door with him.
Since Xiaoxin learned about Wang Ju, she has been afraid of worries these days and is looking forward to Wang Ju every day, and she really wants to wear it.
Now that Wang Ju arrived safely, he immediately felt relieved and sobbed: Ju Lang, it’s great to see you all right...
Seeing her appearance, Wang Ju didn't dare to say that she had not taken action yet. She gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: I'm fine, don't worry!
Xiaoxin served him and lay down in the inner room, but was speechless for a moment
Wang Ju was so drunk that everything was left behind, melting into Xiaoxin's tenderness and sincerity
Wang Ju opened his eyes slightly and looked at the room again
In the living room of prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty, they often paste a white-eyed statue or hang a picture. Whenever there is a good bird, it is a good guest. Whenever there is a famous flower, it is like a beauty.
The couplets are unbearable
But Xiaoxin's room was different. On the front wall, there was only a sentence written by her hand hanging: October is light and cold leaves have not withered, light yellow and sparse green short strips; ruthless and pitiful places, sun corners, clouds and rain halfway down the waist
Wang Ju first met Xiaoxin, which fascinated him deeply. He not only loved her Rong Zhiruili, but also loved her with a graceful figure and outstanding talent.
When he saw this vertical scroll, he couldn't help but think of Xiaoxin's pitiful life experience
Xiaoxin lives in Luoyang, the eastern capital. His father is a scholar of classics. He is particularly good at painting prophecies, astronomy, and the art of living. He was originally a scholarly family.
Unexpectedly, my father was implicated in a lawsuit and arrested the government for his family.
A message came from the yamen that as long as you could send 500 taels of silver, your father could be sentenced lightly.
After the house was confiscated, how could he raise so much money?
There is no way out. In order to save his father's life, Xiaoxin ignored his mother's obstacle and decided to sell herself to save his father.
At that time, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an was in Luoyang and bought her for 200 taels of silver, saying that she would buy it as a concubine
But when I came to Chang'an, I bought her for 500 taels of silver for Chunhualou. I didn't know where to go that night
My mother learned that she had fallen into a prostitute and died in Luoyang.
After Meng Chun learned about Xiaoxin's life experience, she felt compassionate and gave her five hundred taels of silver to the yamen. Then her father was sentenced to re-sentence and sent it to Lingnan!
Wang Ju has been with her for half a year. In the end, Wang Tongjiao helped him raise a thousand taels of ransom and decided to marry Xiaoxin, but before that, he must complete this plan.
I thought if the plan failed this time, everything between him and Xiaoxin would be finished!
But what made him feel relieved was that he had found freedom for Xiaoxin and no longer had to live such a flesh-hearted life.
The moon is bright like day. When the moonlight passes through the steps, it flows into the house like clear water.
The curtain was rippled by the night wind, like a faint ripples, the candlelight swayed, and only a pair of lovers left in the house.
There was a light sound of ringing the penis, and Empress Wei slowly walked in. Seeing the emperor's face, she waved her hand and asked all the palace maids to retreat, and asked: I won't come to see you every day, and I will cry as soon as I meet. What does this mean?
Li Xian shook his head and sighed: Ah, look like you are fine. The good things you and Sansi have made are already causing trouble in the world. The streets and alleys are discussed, and I have lost all my face to you!
Empress Wei's face darkened, she sat next to him and said: You are asking for it yourself. I told you that these five guys are not good things. You always ignore them. Now that I finally got into trouble, but who is going to blame.
Although Li Xian was foolish, he had already known about his wife and Wu Sansi. However, as a cuckold turtle, most of them were people who covered their ears and stole the bells. He hated others to reveal their shortcomings the most.
Li Xian did not want to kill Wu Sansi and was willing to be a turtle. In addition to his and Empress Wei, this promise was not only his cousin, but also his in-laws. His daughter Princess Anle and Wu Sansi's son are husband and wife. If he was punished, his son-in-law Wu Chongxun would be involved.
If Wu Sansi really killed it, it would be difficult to explain to his wife and daughter. Even the ministers who supported Li Tang did not take action against Wu Sansi in the past, and it was also taking this in-law relationship into consideration, which led to the situation today. One by one, one loyal ministers died without a place to be buried.
Seeing that her husband did not speak, Empress Wei said again: Although the five of them are now exiled, another thing has burned to her body again.
Li Xian looked at Empress Wei and asked: What's the matter?
Empress Wei said: Your precious son-in-law Wang Tongjiao is plotting to rebel. He and Zhang Zhongzhi, Zu Yanqing, Shouchun, Zhou Jing and Wang Ju are planning to assassinate Sansi and take advantage of the situation to rush the army to the imperial city. Do you know?
When Li Xian heard the word "rebellion" the most vigilant, he immediately widened his eyes and asked: How could Wang Tongjiao do such a thing? Where did you know?
Empress Wei said: Someone reported to Sansi yesterday. Sansi immediately asked Song Tan and Li Xu to investigate to see if the matter is true or not. If it is true, it would be a big problem!
After hearing this, Li Xian was half-believing and half-doubted for a moment. He knew that Wang Tongjiao had always been loyal to him and had made great contributions when he restored the throne, so he would marry his daughter Princess Ding'an to him. How could he have a rebellion?
Speaking of the fourth year of Chang'an, Wu Zetian's health was getting worse and worse.
The court officials' anti-Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi became more and more intense.

The two Zhang had no choice but to ask for help from a few friendly people, so they could handle it.
However, because the two of them were too arrogant and did not have the job of winning over military generals, no one could help them when things came to an end.
In Yingxian Palace, except for the Zhang brothers, Wu Zetian was surrounded by imperial doctors, eunuchs, palace maids, etc., and there were a few soldiers in the palace who served as guards, so there was not even an imperial guard.
This kind of unprepared phenomenon is rare.
This unpreventable situation may be due to Wu Zetian's 50 years of dictatorship. She believes that it is impossible for a betrayer to appear at that time, so she will take a safe attitude. Perhaps it is because of illness that makes her lose her vigilance.
In fact, Wu Zetian knew very well that as long as she was summoned by God one day, it was the day when the Zhang brothers died. She did not make any arrangements for the safety of the two, which was enough to prove that
From the beginning, Er Zhang's fate has long been destined. It is an unchangeable fact that sacrificing death for the monarch. This is the ruthlessness of the dictator.
What the prime ministers are most worried about now is what if Wu Zetian personally wrote the ink edict and wanted to give the throne to Zhang Changzong?
Although this opportunity is impossible, no matter how wise the monarch is, he is a little confused for a while. Moreover, he is suffering from illness for a long time and cannot avoid making some strange actions.
Now, the only way is to make Wu Zetian abdicate. Even if he resorts to force, he must support Prince Li Xian as the emperor and revive Li Tang Jiangshan.

The five people believed that if things were to be successful, they had to hold military power, which was the most important thing. Their goal was Li Duozuo, the general of the Right Yu Lin Guard.
Zhang Jianzhi also recommended Huan Yanfan, Jinghui and Li Zhan, the Right Sanqi Shishou, to be the left and right Yulin Generals, so that they could control the imperial guards.
This operation is highly confidential, even if parents, wife and children are not leaked
Only Huan Yanfan was worried about his elderly mother, so he finally decided to explain the whole story and asked his mother to forgive him.

Li Zhan took a step forward and replied: Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi rebelled. I was ordered by the crown prince and killed him. Because I was afraid that there would be any leakage, I did not report to me beforehand that I knew that I had claimed that the military palace was banned and that I should have been killed!
Although Wu Zetian was sick, he heard that Er Zhang was killed. His eyes suddenly opened and brightened. A terrifying spirit pressed towards everyone. When the soldiers saw it, they couldn't help but look away. Taiban actually lowered his head.
Wu Zetian's eyes slowly swept towards everyone, landing directly on Li Xian's face who was about to hide, and said in a deep voice: Very good, very good, it turns out that it was your good thing!
Li Xian trembled all over, and he lowered his head and looked down and did not dare to say anything.
Wu Zetian suppressed the anger in his heart, and a contemptuous expression appeared on his face.
Wu Zetian shook her head: Since they have killed you, let's go back to your East Palace!
Huan Yanfan hurriedly took a big step forward, and then knelt down and said: How can the Prince's Highness return to the Eastern Palace? The former emperor handed over his beloved son to His Majesty. Now that this year, the will of heaven has grown, and the will of heaven has returned to the crown prince for a long time. I will not forget the kindness of the former emperor. I will kill the treacherous ministers on the order of the prince. I hope that Your Majesty will pass on the throne to the crown prince, and follow the will of heaven and the lower deputy people will hope.
Seeing that the human relationship was inconvenient, Wu Zewu refused sternly, so he had to silently refuse. While he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Li Zhan standing in front of the door and sighed: I didn’t expect you are also a member of the chaos army. I treat you father and son well, but unexpectedly participated in this conspiracy!
After hearing this, Li Zhan bowed his head speechlessly
Li Zhan is the son of Li Yi Mansion. At that time, Li Yi Mansion was notorious. His eldest son Li Jin, second son Li Qia, third son Li Yang, and son-in-law Liu Yuanzhen were exiled for accepting bribes.
At that time, Li Zhan and his family were exiled to Lingnan.
It was not until the first year of Shangyuan that the world was amnesty, and Li Zhan returned to Luoyang. Soon the court allowed him to serve as an official. Last year, Wu Zetian made a special approval and asked him to serve as the important position of General Qianniu Guard.
Wu Zetian turned his eyes to Prime Minister Cui Xuanwei. Seeing that he was wearing armor and looked like a military general, he couldn't help but sigh: Most of these people were recommended by you recently, but you are the ones I personally promoted, and he actually betrayed me!
Cui Xuanwei saw that Li Zhan was ashamed and looked extremely embarrassed. He thought that he must boost morale at that time to avoid giving up halfway. He has always been good at speaking and said, and immediately replied: I participated in this action, all for the overall situation. Only by doing this can we truly repay His Majesty's great kindness.
This sentence is a bit emphatic, but I can't stop saying it.
When the army was launched, Zhang Dongzhi had already imprisoned Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Changyi and Zhang Changqi to prison, and were executed in prison on the same day.
The heads of the five people were hung on the Tianjin Bridge for public display. Over the five heads, crows were flying and screaming in horror.
On the same day, Yuan Shuji persuaded Prime Minister Li Dan to lead the troops in Nanya to guard the army just in case, and the two Zhang's accomplices, including Prime Minister Wei Chengqing, Fang Rong, Si Liqing Cui Shenqing and others, were arrested and imprisoned.
The next day, Wu Zetian issued an amnesty, ordered the Crown Prince Li Xian to supervise the country, and at the same time, the general amnesty of the world
This amnesty was obviously planned by Zhang Jianzhi and others to stamp the jade seal on their own and release it.
As the supervisor of the country, Li Xian was still in a daze and had not yet come back to his mind. Everything was left to Zhang Jianzhi to arrange for him, like a puppet
In the name of Li Xian, Zhang Jianzhi appointed Yuan Shuji as the Minister of Fengge on the same day and squeezed into the prime minister.
Yuan Shuji formulated an imperial edict, and Pat envoy appeased the states
In another day, Wu Zetian knew that she could no longer win back the situation and officially announced that she would give way to Li Xian.
On January 24, the first year of Shenlong, Wu Zetian finally ended her decades of rule.
On the 25th, Prince Li Xian ascended the throne in Tongtian Palace, and a man actually sat on the throne of the king twice. This is a rare honor in history.
Li Xian sat in front of the imperial case, his mind was in chaos, and he was still thinking: How did all the people who helped me ascend the throne betrayed me? This is the case with the Five Kings, but now even my son-in-law is like this, and they all go against me!
Empress Wei said: Do you know what Wang Tongjiao said outside? He said he thought about being lewd by me and endangering the country and the country. But you ignore the emperor and only care about your own lewdness. Do you say you are angry or not?
Wen Li Xian changed color when she heard this, and she brushed her clothes and said angrily: What a bold slave!
The man threw a word and turned around and walked into the inner hall
When Shuwei saw it, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, knowing that Li Xian was angry.
As expected, the next day, Li Xian ordered the censor Li Chengjia and the inspector Yao Shaozhi to investigate the truth of the matter thoroughly.
Appointing the Minister of the Secretariat Yang Zaisi, the Minister of History Li Jiao, and the Minister of Justice Wei Juyuan to conduct a trial
In Pingkangfang, many first-class brothels are hidden among the weeping willows and green willows. The environment here is very elegant, with the sound of silk and bamboo, and the singing and singing are so mellow that the wanderer is so enchanting.
Chunhualou is a famous brothel in Chang'an, located between the Nanqu and Zhongqu of Pingkangfang
The environment and design of famous brothels in Chang'an are similar. Generally, there is a restaurant and tea room in the front building. The prostitute only drinks and drinks and teas here to make fun of it with singing and dancing, which is different from other general brothels.
Through the hall in front of Chunhua Building, there is a spacious courtyard
The courtyard is full of flowers, bamboo and strange stones, and the mountains are covered with green mountains.
There are small rooms in the corridor, occasionally singing and music, and whispering laughter. If it weren't for the sound of picking up and seeing off guests, it would be hard to imagine that this is a brothel that is having sex with flesh.
Most of the prostitutes in Chunhualou are rich daughters, and even come from official families. They are only because of the decline of their family or their father and brother, and some are singers from the left and right schools. Many of them are famous prostitutes in Chang'an City.
The maid who opens a brothel is very cheap, but the price is naturally expensive. Ordinary businessmen can enjoy singing and dancing in the front building. If they want prostitutes to accompany them for a night or find famous prostitutes to write poems, the price is really shocking. If they are not high-ranking officials and wealthy people, they may not be lucky to be saved.
Wang Ju didn't know that his and Wang Tongjiao's plan had been broken. He planned to go to Chunhua Tower to see Xiaoxin, the woman he loved deeply. He stepped onto the steps, and the brothel came up with a smile.
This bustress is only in her thirties and is still very pretty, beautiful and charming, which is quite incomparable to her identity.
It turns out that the brothel was named Meng Chun. Everyone calls her Chunjie. She was the first-class prostitute when she was young. During the Chuigong period, she was the outer room of a wealthy businessman. She accumulated some money. After the rich businessman died, she was not tolerated by her family in the mansion, so she simply returned to her old career and trained a few good girls to become a brothel.
Wang Ju is from Hanoi, Huaizhou. His courtesy name is Shaogu. He is smart and talented.
He loved fishing when he was a child, but he was unique and unique. He made a fishing fishing tool for a wooden otter and carved the wood into the shape of an otter. The otter's mouth was equipped with a moving mechanism, which could open and close, put a bait in his mouth, and a stone was hung under his belly. When fishing, he used a bamboo pole to put the wooden otter into the water, and sank the weight of the stone at the bottom of the water. When the fish swam into the otter and stuttered the bait, it touched the machine spring, and the otter's mouth immediately bit the fish, and the hanging stone fell off at the same time, floating out of the water.
At that time, Wang Ju was only about ten years old. Just looking at his ingenuity, he knew that he was a wise man and was truly extraordinary.
Wang Ju made friends and had a strong relationship with Li Longji. He participated in the killing of Wu Sansi this time. One is to hate what Wu Sansi and Empress Wei did, and the other is to Li Longji. He knew that Wu Sansi would not die, and Li Longji's family would be in danger. While he talked with Li Longji, he also hinted that this action was done.
Li Longji was shocked at the time. He knew that Wu Sansi had many eyeliners and it was not easy to assassinate him. He hurriedly told him not to be reckless, and he must think twice and not to take the initiative.
When Wang Ju heard this, he had to stammer.
The brothel Meng Chun took Wang Ju's hand and led him to a room. She sat down in the front hall and sent someone to serve tea. She took the little girl to the backyard to inform Xiaoxin, and sat down and said to Wang Ju: Xiaoxin is so worried that Mr. Wang hasn't come for a few days!
After hearing this, Wang Ju was stunned and asked hurriedly: Is it true? Is Xin'er better?
Meng Chun smiled slightly: It should be nothing serious. She has been resting for a few days and it has improved a lot, but I don’t understand. Since the young master has redeemed Xiaoxin, she should be happy. But in the past two or three days, seeing her being frownful and worried, I asked her many times, but Xiaoxin always shook her head and didn’t answer. What happened to you two?
After hearing this, Wang Ju was both happy and painful. What was painful was that she shouldn’t have told her about her plan this time, which made her worry all day long and she got sick!
What I am happy about is that I know that Xiaoxin has true feelings for her
In contrast, for this big event, I only gathered with Wang Tongjiao and others for several days, but forgot her and shouted in secret. I felt ashamed.
As Wang Ju thought, a tinging sound of a ringing penis turned into his ears, and then a faint fragrance floated in. Wang Ju immediately woke up, felt excited, and quickly stood up
A beautiful and refined person gasped slightly and hurriedly walked in. She was wearing a red silk robe, with a little sadness on her face, as if Jiaona was beyond the breeze. When she saw Wang Ju, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and two beads of tears flowed out and threw themselves into Wang Ju's arms.
Meng Chun quit the room tactfully and brought the door with him.
Since Xiaoxin learned about Wang Ju, she has been afraid of worries these days and is looking forward to Wang Ju every day, and she really wants to wear it.
Now that Wang Ju arrived safely, he immediately felt relieved and sobbed: Ju Lang, it’s great to see you all right...
Seeing her appearance, Wang Ju didn't dare to say that she had not taken action yet. She gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: I'm fine, don't worry!
Xiaoxin served him and lay down in the inner room, but was speechless for a moment
Wang Ju was so drunk that everything was left behind, melting into Xiaoxin's tenderness and sincerity
Wang Ju opened his eyes slightly and looked at the room again
In the living room of prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty, they often paste a white-eyed statue or hang a picture. Whenever there is a good bird, it is a good guest. Whenever there is a famous flower, it is like a beauty.
The couplets are unbearable
But Xiaoxin's room was different. On the front wall, there was only a sentence written by her hand hanging: October is light and cold leaves have not withered, light yellow and sparse green short strips; ruthless and pitiful places, sun corners, clouds and rain halfway down the waist
Wang Ju first met Xiaoxin, which fascinated him deeply. He not only loved her Rong Zhiruili, but also loved her with a graceful figure and outstanding talent.
When he saw this vertical scroll, he couldn't help but think of Xiaoxin's pitiful life experience
Xiaoxin lives in Luoyang, the eastern capital. His father is a scholar of classics. He is particularly good at painting prophecies, astronomy, and the art of living. He was originally a scholarly family.
Unexpectedly, my father was implicated in a lawsuit and arrested the government for his family.
A message came from the yamen that as long as you could send 500 taels of silver, your father could be sentenced lightly.
After the house was confiscated, how could he raise so much money?
There is no way out. In order to save his father's life, Xiaoxin ignored his mother's obstacle and decided to sell herself to save his father.
At that time, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an was in Luoyang and bought her for 200 taels of silver, saying that she would buy it as a concubine
But when I came to Chang'an, I bought her for 500 taels of silver for Chunhualou. I didn't know where to go that night
My mother learned that she had fallen into a prostitute and died in Luoyang.
After Meng Chun learned about Xiaoxin's life experience, she felt compassionate and gave her five hundred taels of silver to the yamen. Then her father was sentenced to re-sentence and sent it to Lingnan!
Wang Ju has been with her for half a year. In the end, Wang Tongjiao helped him raise a thousand taels of ransom and decided to marry Xiaoxin, but before that, he must complete this plan.
I thought if the plan failed this time, everything between him and Xiaoxin would be finished!
But what made him feel relieved was that he had found freedom for Xiaoxin and no longer had to live such a flesh-hearted life.
The moon is bright like day. When the moonlight passes through the steps, it flows into the house like clear water.
The curtain was rippled by the night wind, like a faint ripples, the candlelight swayed, and only a pair of lovers left in the house.
