On the fourth day of the third month of the ninth year of Zhide, Luoyang City at night is tall, solemn and sacred, and the feet of the Son of Heaven are often the most orderly place, but tonight it is chaotic, with hurried footsteps, armor banging, people shouting and neighing, and the army completely controls the city.

Originally, only Cao Sheng's troops entered Luoyang City, and the order was still good at that time, but when Zhang Zhikui, Wan Lin, and Huang Ying's troops drove in, everything seemed a little uncoordinated.

It was not that Zhang, Wan, and Huang wanted to make a rebellion, but that the army acted hastily, and the thoughts of the soldiers and colonels were not unified.

Zhang Zhikui found that the signs were wrong, and immediately shouted the slogans of "protecting the emperor" and "Qingjun side", and the army settled down.

It seems that Empress Dowager Cao is in power, but she is still not recognized in the hearts of the soldiers.

The army and the people still supported the emperor in their hearts, especially when the emperor was known as a benevolent monarch. There is a slang saying on the streets of Luoyang and in the army, "the old ladies are in charge of the house and the house collapses", although this sentence may not be accurate and is worth scrutinizing, but this sentence reflects the resistance of the military and the people to the Empress Dowager Cao's power.

This year, the Empress Dowager Cao is forty-two years old, the years are not forgiving, in the chaos of the war, she finally looks a little haggard, the grace and brilliance of the past are gone in an instant, like the embankment that was washed away by the river.

In fact, her heart is also entangled, and she is even worried about her son, will Zhao Ce, who has always been not very wise, be used by others?

While overthrowing the queen mother, she also earned the emperor?

Was the general plot of this mutiny the emperor's party, Tang Zhen's party, or Cao Sheng's party?

If it was Cao Sheng, his henchmen were actually his own henchmen, I couldn't believe that the uncle, who he trusted and relied on immensely, turned his face and didn't recognize people.

At this time, Empress Dowager Cao was not sure whether she would survive if she fell into the hands of the emperor, Tang Zhen, and Cao Sheng. When I fled into the tunnel, I was a little panicked.

The tunnels are narrow, closed, damp, and dark, and people always feel that they have difficulty breathing when they come here, and the torches that should be burning are not refreshing.

When she first saw the fire in front of her, Empress Dowager Cao was so frightened that she lost her face, but when she saw that it was the Lu family waiting for her there, she smiled again.

Lu said: "I have already informed Cen Shen to move closer to Luoyang one step in advance, I think Zhenjiang General Cao Dingguo will also go, the Tiger Ben Army will be protected, and then contact the Flying Tiger Army, and the two armies will return to Luoyang together, just around the corner." ”

Empress Dowager Cao smiled: "You have designed the future, and it is really comfortable to have someone like you by my side." ”

Empress Dowager Cao usually looks always lazy, but now she finds that she is actually agile, this time she escaped from the palace, she only took two palace maids to travel, an hour of hard walking, the two palace maids have been left behind, and Empress Dowager Cao is still in a hurry.

"There's an exit ahead." Lu Shi quickened his pace and walked over.

Empress Dowager Cao looked even more nervous.

Lu Shi pushed the door open, this is a hill in the north of Luoyang City, usually this place looks like a cave, near this cave is the gathering of royal relatives tomb group, usually there is a special tomb keeper to take care of and protect.

Lu Shi pushed the door twice, but didn't push it open, thinking that it had not been used for a long time, so the door was rusty and died.

It seems that the designer has thought of this a long time ago, there is a meteor hammer bolted to the door, Li Wantang walked over, grabbed the meteor hammer and looked at the door, the strength of the Jiupin boxer is really not to be underestimated, and the door was smashed to pieces with one blow.

Seeing that the door was opened, Empress Dowager Cao's heart had just relaxed, but she found that the torches were shaking outside the door, and there were several people standing at the door, one of them was an old man with white hair, wearing armor, and his face looked so familiar.

"Xiuniang, where are you going? Can't you even trust your own uncle? Do you think your uncle is going to kill you? ”

Cao Sheng pulled down the broken door panel, lowered his body slightly, as if bowing, raised his head to stare at the Empress Dowager Cao, and said in a gentle tone: "Come home with me, I will guarantee your safety." In the future, all you need to do is enjoy happiness, and those worries should be left to Ce'er and the ministers, you should rest and rest. ”

Empress Dowager Cao finally collapsed, sat on the ground and cried.

On the fifth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of Zhide, the emperor issued the "Edict of Guilt", in which he denounced himself for alarming the Queen Mother, which was an unfilial act, after the courtiers discussed, the emperor ate fast for half a year, cut a strand of hair before the forehead, and sent the hair to the border, on behalf of the emperor, as a punishment.

On the sixth day of the first month, Cao Sheng, the uncle of the feudal state, was the king of Huainan, with a standing army of 150,000 and no supervising army, Cao Sheng led the first, seventeenth, eighteenth, and twentieth divisions of Xuanjia to quickly leave the capital and take over Cao Dingguo's tiger army.

On the seventh day of the first month, Zhang Yunlong was named the Great Sima, with the rank of general of the humerus, and the gold medal of exemption from death, and the three sons of Zhang Yunlong were named the Marquis of Pengxian, the Marquis of Sixiang, and the Marquis of Chen Ting.

On the eighth day of the first month, the Empress Dowager Cao was named "Filial Piety, Integrity, Respect, Benevolence, Yizhe, Shunxi, Zhuang Minfu, Tianxie, Empress Shengwu, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, and Our Lady of Wannian Jinzun".

On the ninth day of the first month, the 8,000-year-old Tang Dynasty was traced back to the Great Pillar State, increasing the number of 9,000 years old, and the fake nine tin. Tang Susan refused Jiuxi, and the emperor allowed it.

On the tenth day of the first month, Tang Yuan was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou garrison, took over Cao Dingbang's Flying Tiger Army, and had 100,000 troops in reserve.

On the eleventh day of the first month, Empress Tang Qi was named "Zhongsheng Ci Xuan Kang Hui Dun and Chengren Mu Tianguang Shengxian Taining Empress and Wusheng Empress." ”

On the twelfth day of the first month, the heir, the prince Zhao Ling entered the East Palace, and the queen and prince were separated and were not allowed to contact (Tang Xiaoyu walked with the prince's frame, accompanied the prince to study, and was a young guard).

The overall situation has been decided, the emperor came to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother refused to see, the emperor knelt in Cining Palace for two hours, the sky rained heavily, the old mink temple ploughed Wantang with an umbrella and came out, covering the rain for the emperor, and said: "The Queen Mother has cried a few times." ”

The emperor stood up and broke into the Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

"The emperor is not strange, from now on, the son will be filial to the emperor and take care of the emperor."

The Queen Mother looked more and more lazy, lying on her side on the Luohan bed and said weakly: "You still have a little conscience, you didn't give me a glass of wine, or a three-foot white silk." My son is so intentional, my mother naturally knows it in her heart, but whether Queen Tang Qi thinks like this is unknown. Maybe she has prepared white silk poison wine in the palace, ready to serve me back to the West at any time. ”

"Don't worry, Queen Tang Qi will never have such a heart."

"People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and uncles can rebel, let alone husband and wife. My guards have all been disarmed by her, and the Lu family, Ji Yifa and others have been put in prison by her, do you plan to not even keep the plough Wantang for me in the next step? ”。

"Father-in-law Li has served his mother for many years, and his loyalty can be demonstrated, as long as he does not leave Cining Palace from now on, no one will be able to touch him."

"Well, it's not bad." The Queen Mother got up slightly, and said lazily: "Thank you to the queen mother for leaving me one, you go back and tell her, I hope she will put her heart on the Zhao family, the prince has been born, and what do you always contact with the Tang family." ”
