Wu Zetian is 81 years old. Old and frail, tired of political affairs, often living in the palace of eternal life, lying on the pillow to recuperate, ten days and eight days to return to the court is also a common thing, sometimes even for months without coming out.

The major affairs of the imperial court were handled by the first and auxiliary prime ministers, Zhang Cambodia, together with several other prime ministers, and they were also in an orderly manner. Although Zhang Cambodia is not young, he has always lamented that his years are fleeting, and he is eager for the opportunity to make contributions.

He wrote in "Miscellaneous Songs: Dongfei Berao Song": "Qingtian white crane Danshan phoenix, Wu maiden and concubine send each other. Who's peerless in front of the tent, the bright pink and fragrant fat reflect Baodian. The slender jade hall is a green curtain, and the uneven embroidery is hung with bead foil. The peerless three or five love red makeup, and the sleeves are long and covered with blue musk. Spring flowers and branches are easy to change, but it is a pity that the years do not treat each other. ”

Therefore, after Zhang Cambodia served as the first and auxiliary prime minister, he couldn't wait to make a difference, and he made a big deal as soon as he made a move. He hoped to reverse the chaos of Wuzhou and Zhou by restoring the Li Tang Dynasty, save the world and help the people, and make himself famous in history.

Based on the same goal, Zhang Cambodia and Princess Taiping came together. It is not so much that Zhang Cambodia took refuge in Princess Taiping, but that he and Princess Taiping had an allied relationship.

In Chang's plan, the cooperation of the crown prince Li Xian was crucial, and Li Xian could not only become the caller of the coup d'état, but also the ideal candidate for emperor in the future.

At this point, Princess Taiping and Zhang Cambodia have a disagreement. The reason why she spent so much effort was that she didn't want Li Xian to ascend the throne, and in her opinion, only when Li Dan ascended the throne, her interests would be maximized.

Although she thought so in her heart, Princess Taiping did not say it to Zhang Cambodia, but continued to support Zhang Cambodia on the surface. The reason why he didn't tear his face with Zhang Cambodia was because of Zhang Cambodia's identity as the head and assistant prime minister, and without Zhang Cambodia's appearance, it was a joke to want the coup to succeed.

Xie Yunxuan said very clearly, as long as the coup can succeed, it is not up to Zhang Cambodia to decide who will be the emperor, and in the end, what Zhang Cambodia does is only to make a wedding dress for the prime minister Li Dan.

Zhang Cambodia was nearly eighty years old, and he had to hurry up to act, so he quickly contacted a number of ministers and some generals of the Yulin Army to plan a plan to restore Li Tang.

……

"Elder Yao Ge, I said that you should also take care of this mansion, this is not good!" Lu Xiaoxian stood in the courtyard and looked around, and his mouth was not idle.

"Don't call me old anymore, I'm not the prime minister now!" Yao Chong is serious.

"What is the name of the elder who doesn't call you?" Lu Xiaoxian thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Lao Yao, how about it?" ”

"Old Yao?" Yao Chong was stunned, and then nodded and said, "Okay, just call me Lao Yao, it's good!" ”

"Lao Yao, to be serious, your mansion really has to be renovated!"

"Why are you okay with my house?" Yao Chong was not happy.

"I'm not for your good, after the transformation, aren't you comfortable to live in!" Lu Xiaoxian and Yao Chong were consumed.

"Don't change!" Yao Chong didn't pay attention to Lu Xiaoxian.

"Don't change? If you don't change it, you have to change it! ”

Yao Chong couldn't help it, he was about to go crazy, but he caught a glimpse of a sly smile hidden between Lu Xiaoxian's eyebrows.

Yao Chong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't sell it either, let's say, what do you want to do?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian attached himself to Yao Chong's ear and talked for a while.

Yao Chong listened, his eyes straightened: "This, this is true?" ”

"When did I lie to you?" Lu Xiaoxian pouted and said, "What's the point of lying to you!" ”

"Since that's the case, it's really time to make a good makeover!" Yao Chong's attitude immediately changed.

"I'll arrange someone to do this!" Lu Xiaoxian admonished, "You must keep it secret, and you must not let outsiders know!" ”

"Am I such a foul-mouthed person?" Yao Chong didn't have a good airway.

When he came back from Yao Chong's mansion, Lu Xiaoxian arranged for Zhang Meng to go to Fanyang to pick up more than a dozen brothers to come back, specifically for Yao Chong to renovate the mansion. Although it is more troublesome to do this, and the cost is greater, Lu Xiaoxian is more at ease to do things by himself.

……

On this day, Wu Zetian dragged his old body and just sat down in the court, and Cheng Huan Yanfan in the imperial history took a few pieces of paper in his hand and said: "Today, there is Yang Yuanhei, a native of Xuzhou, who has written a book, and everything he says is very incidental, and the minister does not dare to ignore it. ”

"Read!" Wu Zetian ordered.

Yang Yuansi wrote a complaint and said that Zhang Changzong summoned the warlock Li Hongtai to occupy the phase, and Hongtai said that Changzong had the Son of Heaven and persuaded him to build a Buddhist temple in Dingzhou, and the world would return to the heart. In addition......" Huan Yanfan said, and took out a few more pieces of paper, "In addition, there are many people outside who rebel against Feishu and the brothers of Yan Yi for Feishu and the film next to him. ”

Such a conclusive rebellion, but Wu Zetian didn't think so, turned around and smiled at the two brothers: "You two are causing trouble again?" ”

Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong hurriedly came over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this is a frame-up, a complete frame-up." Some people are jealous when they see me serving the Holy God day and night. ”

In the imperial history, Cheng Huan Yanfan continued: "The accuser has a name and a surname, and his words are chiseled, and Zhang Yizhi moved to the capital a month ago, and ten monks were equipped with a private temple in Dingzhou, and the monks and others complained bitterly, and everyone knew it. If such a major case of rebellion is not investigated, the ministers are afraid that the hearts of the people in the world will change. ”

Wu Zetian saw that it was difficult to avoid this hurdle, so he nodded to Huan Yanfan and said: "Since this is the case, then Qing will take the lead, and together with the punishment and the imperial history Zhongcheng, the case will be pushed together." ”

After Huan Yanfan received the order, he quickly finished hearing the case, and reported to Wu Zetian: "According to the law of my Great Zhou, Zhang Changzong should be punished!" ”

Dabi is to dismantle the people's congress into eight pieces, Wu Zetian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.

Another prime minister, Cui Xuanwei, also knew that it was impossible to open up the Great Empire, so he played: "Plotting rebellion and rebellion, there is no room for refuge, please send Zhang Changzong to prison as soon as possible and hand it over to the Imperial Historical Observatory for questioning." ”

Wu Zetian put on a smiling face and said to Huan Yanfan gently: "Huan Aiqing and don't be angry, I will definitely deal with Changzong, but if you don't give up and chase after you, it's not a good way." ”

"Changzong is very gracious, and the ministers know that they will be in trouble, but they are excited about righteousness, and they will not hesitate to die." Huan Yanfan said resolutely, ignoring Wu Zetian's set.

Wu Zetian, who had been entangled by him, waved his hand: "Huan Yanfan, you go, what do you like, what do you do, what do you do, I don't care, I have made you angry enough." ”

Huan Yanfan waved his hand, came over to the two palaces, stretched out his hand and pulled out Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi who were hiding behind Wu Zetian, pushed and shoved, and walked away.

Seeing that he was really taken away, the emperor looked at the prime minister Zhang Cambodia, who had been silent next to him, and said: "Zhang Aiqing, Changzong and Yizhi were taken away by Song Jing, and they must not be stripped of a layer of skin, you should think of a way to save them." ”

Zhang Cambodia arched his hand and said: "Send a middle envoy to summon Changzong and Yi Zhi, and it is possible to pardon him." ”

"Yes, yes, amnesty, amnesty." Wu Zetian was busy ordering Shangguan Wan'er next to him to write a letter of amnesty.

Huan Yanfan escorted the two straight to the Yushitai, and before he had time to ascend to the hall, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the gate, and the two yellow-robed envoys came to Pegasus, rushed straight into the courtyard, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and took out the holy decree and read: "Pardon Zhang Changzong, Zhang Yizhi acquitted, and quickly follow the envoy back to the palace to serve." ”

The holy decree must not be disobeyed, Huan Yanfan watched the envoy go away with two zhang.

After the dispersal of the court, Prime Minister Cui Xuanwei was deeply dissatisfied with Zhang Khanzhi's idea to save Erzhang, and looked at him with contempt: "You are the prime minister of the first and auxiliary prime ministers, you don't preside over justice, but help and abuse you, how tactful." ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Khan Zhi pulled Cui Xuanwei's arm and said, "Go to my house, I have something to say to you." ”

"Not available!"

"I have something important to talk to you about."

Cui Xuanwei saw that Zhang Cambodia's expression was not ordinary, as if there was really something important, so he agreed. The two of them took the same car and went to Zhangfu.

Winter is coming, and the tall locust trees lining the streets have been stripped of their leaves. On the hard road, the white-haired wind rolled up bursts of floating dust; Pedestrians on the street, hiding their faces with their sleeves, hurried along. In the distance, the majestic and beautiful Longmen Mountain is submerged in a turbid mist.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Zhang Cambodia sighed softly: "Another year is about to pass." ”

The carriage drove through the wide Xingwumen Street, turned past Tongtianfang, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zhang Cambodia at the entrance of the Great Corner.

The car did not stop for a single step, and drove directly into the house through the corner gate.

The two got out of the car and came to the study in the backyard, and then Zhang Khan Zhiping retreated.

Seeing the mysterious appearance of the god of Zhang Khan, Cui Xuanwei wanted to ask, but he couldn't help it.

After the guest and host sat down, Zhang Cambodia continued the original topic and said: "It's not that I intend to please Your Majesty and let the two go, it's just that it's not time to move them." ”

Cui Xuanwei said indignantly: "Your Majesty is old, and the two wolves are ambitious, and they accompany you day and night. This situation is very abnormal and must be changed. ”

"In case Your Majesty has three longs and two shorts, does Ming Gong think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go smoothly?" Zhang Cambodia asked.

"Dangerous." Cui Xuanwei shook his head and said, "There are two inside, there are all the martial arts outside, the prince is weak, it will be difficult to ascend the throne and control the overall situation." ”

"I called you to my house to discuss the matter." Zhang Cambodia revealed his purpose little by little.

"The heart of the world to return to the Tang Dynasty has been for a long time, if the prince cannot ascend to the throne, the world is bound to be in chaos, and the people will also suffer." Cui Xuanwei said worriedly.

"Have you ever wondered how you can prevent this tragic outcome?" Zhang Cambodia stared at Cui Xuanwei and asked.

"Your Majesty is old, he insists on going his own way, he can't listen to advice, only ......" Cui Xuanwei looked at Zhang Cambodia, said half of the words, and swallowed again.

"You and I share the power of the prime minister and serve the country carefully, if it is beneficial to the society of the country, what can't you say?"

Hearing Zhang Cambodia's words, Cui Xuanwei slapped the table and said: "Only when necessary, take decisive measures to ensure the smooth accession of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Zhang Cambodia was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with his hand: "I regard you as a confidant, and what I am waiting for is your words." ”

After that, Zhang Cambodia went out and asked people to bring wine and food in.

The time is not big, and the food and drinks are delivered. The two closed the door, ate and drank, and continued to discuss slowly......
