When Zhang Cambodia was nervously planning the restoration of Li Tang, Wu Cao's condition worsened, and even at night he saw black and white impermanence coming to seduce his soul, and felt that his life was short.

The well-known great virtue Fazang hurriedly rushed to the Famen Temple in Qizhou, opened the relics pagoda, took out the Buddha bone relics, and sent them to Luoyang Mingtang on the eleventh day of the first month of the first year of Shenlong, hoping that the Buddha bone relics can release the great mercy light, send out boundless mana, cure Wu Cao's illness, and prolong her life!

The Buddha bone relics were invited, the Yunhai stone Buddha beads were put on, and the Great Compassion Mantra was recited, but Wu Cao's condition still did not improve. Wu Cao waved his hand to let the great masters retreat, and he took the chariot back to the Yingxian Palace to rest.

Wu Cao's condition was good and bad, and Zhang Khan couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to launch a military admonition according to the plan.

On the twenty-second day of the first month of the first year of Shenlong, Zhang Cambodia, Cui Xuanwei, Huan Yanfan and Zuo Weiwei general Xue Sixing led more than 500 left and right Yulin soldiers to gather at Xuanwu Gate, and sent Li Duozuo, Li Zhan, the right scattered cavalry attendant Li Zhan and Nei Zhilang, and Wang Tongjiao, the commander of the horses, to the East Palace to meet the prince Wuxian.

Wu Xian was suspicious and refused to come out. Is it okay for the prince not to come forward?

Obviously not, because the banner of this operation is to be ordered by the prince to punish two zhang, if the prince does not come forward, the teacher will be nameless. If you forcibly break into the Xuanwu Gate and surround the Yingxian Palace, you will be charged with rebellious ministers and thieves, and you will be charged with killing the monarch with the courtiers! This black cauldron is not willing to be memorized by anyone who has read poetry and books, nor does he dare to memorize it.

Li Zhan stood outside the door and said loudly: "Erzhang is chaotic, and he is about to plot against him, and the sect is in danger, only in a moment. The generals and the deacon of the Nanya are punished, and I hope that His Royal Highness will temporarily go to Xuanwu Gate to meet the expectations of the public! ”

Wu Xian replied: "The two rebellions should indeed be destroyed, but the holy bow is not good, and the widow is worried about alarming the saint, so the public will stop waiting for the future!" ”

The son-in-law Wang Tongjiao was anxious and shouted: "The first emperor handed over the artifact to His Highness, but it was ruined, and the people and gods were angry, and it has been twenty-two years now!" Today we have contacted the North Gate and the South Ya Forbidden Army, and worked together to kill Erzhang and restore Li Tang Sheji, and respectfully ask His Royal Highness to temporarily go to Xuanwu Gate to meet the expectations of the public! ”

Li Zhan said again: "The generals abandon the family and work hard to support the community, how can Your Highness bear to trap them in the Ding Wok?" The hearts of the people are unstable, please come out quickly and stop it in person! Wu Xian had no choice but to come out.

Wang Tongjiao helped Wu Xian to get on the horse, and came to the Xuanwu Gate surrounded by all the soldiers. All the soldiers shouted to His Royal Highness, cheered up, cut the door latch of the Xuanwu Gate and entered.

Zhang Cambodia led his troops into the Yingxian Palace, arrested Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, pulled them to the Xuanwu Gate City and beheaded them, and then entered the Jixian Palace and surrounded the guards.

Hearing the footsteps and orders of the people, Wu Cao suddenly got startled and asked, "Who is making trouble?" ”

Zhang Cambodia was prepared early and calmly responded: "Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong rebelled, and the ministers were ordered by the prince to kill them, for fear that there would be leaks, so they didn't dare to report to Your Majesty in advance." Called the forbidden palace, the crime deserves death! ”

Wu Cao saw the crown prince Wu Xian and said, "It turned out to be you?" The kid has been killed, but can he return to the East Palace? ”

Wu Xian was silent, and Huan Yanfan hurriedly said, "How can the prince return to the East Palace again?" In the past, the emperor entrusted His Majesty with his beloved son, but today the prince is fifty years old, and he has lived in the East Palace for too long, and the people of Heaven miss the Li family. The ministers did not forget the virtues of Taizong and the emperor, so they served the prince to kill the thieves. May Your Majesty pass on the crown prince, with the hope of the heavens! ”

These words were said so coherently that Wu Cao was speechless for a while.

Li Zhan is the fourth son of Li Yifu, who served in the literature of the Zhou palace at the age of six, and now serves as the regular attendant of the right scattered cavalry and the general of the left Yulin. Wu Cao saw that Li Zhan was also there, and said, "Did you also help kill Yi Zhi?" I treat your father and son well, and I don't want to have today! Li Zhan couldn't bow his head.

Wu Cao said to Cui Xuanwei again: "Everyone else has been promoted because of the recommendation of others, only Qing is I am personally promoted, why are you here?" ”

Cui Xuanwei said: "The minister is here to repay His Majesty's great kindness!" Wu Cao was extremely tired at this time, and fell asleep again.

Zhang Cambodia commanded the Yulin soldiers to capture Zhang Changqi, Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Changyi and others, captured one and beheaded another, and beheaded him in Qiaonan, Tianjin together with Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong.

On this day, Sima Yuan Shuji of the Prime Minister's Mansion followed the Prime Minister Wang Wudan to lead the Nanya forbidden soldiers to martial law in the Shendu, and arrested Wei Chengqing, the squire of the Fengge, Fang Rong, the chief doctor, and Cui Shenqing, the secretary of the Zhang family, and other Zhang henchmen and imprisoned.

On the 23rd, Wu Cao saw that Zhang Cambodia, Cui Xuanwei and others were on duty in turn in the Jixian Palace, and refused to leave, so he had no choice but to order the crown prince Wu Xian to supervise the country.

Wu Xian appointed Yuan Shuji as the Fengge squire and Tongping Zhangshi, and sent ten envoys to the states with seals and documents to express condolences, and ordered Fan Chen, the local official, to go to Chang'an to report to the temple mausoleum.

On the 24th, Wu Cao Chuan was located in Prince Wuxian.

On the 25th, the crown prince Wuxian restored the surname Li, that is, the emperor was located in Tongtian Palace, and the amnesty was granted to the world, but Zhang Yizhi's henchmen were not within the scope of pardon, and the people who were framed by Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen were all Zhaoxue. The internal and external civil and military attachés have been added two ranks, and the third grade has been added to the second rank, and they have been drunk for five days.

Xiangwang Li Dan added the name of Anguo Xiangwang, entered the worship of Taiwei, and the Taiping princess added the title of the Taiping princess of Zhenguo, and still gave the real seal, and the front was full of 5,000 households. The Li family was originally assigned to the confiscated princes, and the descendants were ordered to restore their subordinate titles and rank and rank the officials. Three thousand palace maids were also released, and the old was removed and the new cloth was made.

On the 26th, Wu Cao migrated to Shangyang Palace, and Li Zhan stayed overnight as a guard.

On the 27th, Li Xian led hundreds of civil and military officials to Shangyang Palace, and honored Wu Cao as the Emperor of Zetian.

On the 29th, the heroes were rewarded, with Zhang Cambodia as the Xia official Shangshu, Cui Xuanwei as the internal history, Yuan Shuji and Fengge Luantai Sanpin, Jinghui and Huan Yanfan were all Nayan, and they were all given to the county duke.

Li Duozuo entered the king of Liaoyang County and gave him 600 households; Wang Tongjiao is the right Qianniu general and Langxie County Duke, and Li Zhan is the right Yulin general and Zhao Guogong; The rest of the officials were poorly rewarded. He also sent envoys to Gaoyao County to summon Wei Yuanzhong to return to the court, and worship Wei Weiqing and Tongping Zhangshi.

On February 1, Li Xian led hundreds of civil and military officials to Shangyang Palace to greet Wu Cao, and since then he has been there every ten days.

On February 4, the country name was restored to Tang, and the Sheji, Zongmiao, mausoleum, suburbs, marching flags, uniforms, heaven and earth, sun and moon, temples, pavilions, and official names were all in accordance with the stories before the Yongchun year.

The Shendu is still called the Eastern Capital, the Northern Capital is called the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the Laojun is still called Emperor Xuanyuan. The people of the prefectures are exempt from this year's tax, and the people of Fangzhou are exempt from taxation and forced labor for three years.

On the 5th, Wei Chengqing, a henchman of the Zhang family, was demoted to a high lieutenant, Fang Rong was removed from the list, and he was exiled to Gaozhou, and Cui Shenqing was exiled to Qinzhou. With Yang Zaisi as the head of the household book, the three products under the door of the same book, and the Xijing stay; Yao Yuanchong, the servant of the emperor, was the assassin of Bozhou.

On the ninth day, the Gongju people stopped studying the "Minister's Track" and continued to study "Lao Tzu".

On the 14th, the crown princess Wei Xianger was appointed as the queen, amnesty was granted to the world, and the queen's father Wei Xuanzhen was posthumously presented as the king of Shangluo and her mother Cui Hongzhen as the princess.

The officials of Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, and others were recovered, and the funeral was reorganized. Officials above the ninth rank of the edict and the envoys of the court gathered extremely much about the gains and losses of the government, and also promoted virtuous and upright people who spoke outright.

Zuo Shijia was blunt and outspoken, thinking that it was wrong for Li Xian to crown the queen's family as the king, and Empress Wei should refuse, which is the virtue of the world. Li Xian didn't listen.

At the beginning, King Luling and Wei Xiang'er had a private oath first: "When he is fortunate enough to see the light of day again, he should do what he wants, and he will not forbid each other." "Therefore, Wei Xiang'er is the queen again, and intervenes in the government by the way, every time Li Xian goes to the court, Empress Wei must sit on the hall with a curtain, just like the mother-in-law and the two saints when they come to the court.

When the ministers went to the temple to stand on duty, they saw the two saints coming to the court, and suddenly reappeared as if they were yesterday, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Nayan Huan Yan Fan said a lot, asking Li Xianshang to focus on the community and the common people, and order the queen not to go to the main hall to interfere with the foreign court, and to focus on cultivating Yin Sect in the middle palace! But Li Xian ignored it.

When the two Zhang were killed, Luo Governor Shi Xue Jichang said: "Although the two murderers are removed, Lu Chan and Lu Lu are still there, and if they don't get rid of the roots, they will be resurrected in the end!" Please kill Wu Sansi and others because of the strength of the army, Kuang Zheng royal family, and peace in the world! ”

Zhang Cambodia replied: "The big thing has been decided, what else can he make of meat on the chopping board?" The number of those who have been put to death is too great to be repeated. Jinghui also believes that it is not to be killed.

Xue Jichang sighed: "Hey, I don't know where I will die in the future!" ”

Liu Youqiu, the captain of Chaoyi, said to Huan Yanfan and Jinghui: "Wu Sansi is still there, and there is no burial place for the princesses; If you don't calculate it early, I'm afraid it will become a big problem! "The two of them did not comply.

Li Xian favored Shangguan Wan'er, promoted her several levels to Shangguan Jieyu, and took charge of her life in the palace. Shangguan Jieyu had an affair with Wu Sansi, and also recommended Wu Sansi to Empress Wei and brought her into the Forbidden Palace.

Princess An Le married Wu Sansi's son Wu Chongxun, and the Li and Wu families were in-laws. Li Xian once asked Empress Wei and Wu Sansi to play a game of double land, and he was on the side to raise money for them.

Zhang Cambodia thought that the kings of the Wu clan were abusing officials and tyrants, and asked Li Xian to cut the damage of the kings of the Wu clan to calm the world, but Li Xian did not listen. Jing Hui saw that the government was subject to Wu Sansi, and often pushed the bed and sighed, and once he even pointed out blood!

Zhang Cambodia also sighed: "When Your Majesty was the king of England in the past, people called him brave and fierce, thinking that he was the most like Taizong. The reason why I didn't kill Zhu Wu was because I wanted His Majesty to personally kill them, so as to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven to the world. Now Your Majesty is like this, the situation has passed, what else can be done! ”

Yang Yuanyan, the general of the right Yulin, saw that Wu Sansi was resuming his work, and asked to abandon his official position and become a monk, but Li Xian did not allow it. Jinghui laughed at him, and Yang Yuanyan said: "The birds are all hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked, since ancient times, the Son of Heaven can share hardships and hardships but not wealth and prosperity." Achieve fame, do not retreat. It is not unreasonable to abandon the official and become a monk! ”

On February 16, the prince's guest, Liang Wangwu Sansi was the commonplace, and the three products under the door of the same Zhongshu. On the 17th, he rode on the right and rode often to serve Wu Youji as Situ and Dingwang.

On the 21st, Li Xian went to the Guanfeng Hall of Shangyang Palace to worship Wu Cao. Li Dan resigned as a lieutenant, governor, and then as the emperor's younger brother, and Li Xian agreed. On the 27th, the prince's son Li Chongjun was appointed as the king of Wei, and Li Chongmao was the king of Wen.

On April 18, Wei Yuanzhong returned to the Eastern Capital and took up the post of Wei Weiqing and Tongping Zhangshi.

On the 25th, Wei Yuanzhong was the secretary of the military department, Wei Anshi was the secretary of the ministry, Li Huaiyuan was the regular attendant of the right scattered cavalry, Tang Xiujing was the general of the auxiliary state, Cui Xuanwei was the special jin, Yang Zaisi inspected the history of the Yang Mansion, Zhu Qinming was the secretary of the criminal department, and the three products under the same Zhongshu door. On the 26th, Zhang Cambodia was the Chinese book order.

On May 7, the Tang Taimiao and Sheji were established in Luoyang. Sixteen people, including Cui Xuanwei, Zhang Cambodia, Wu Youji, Wu Sansi, and Zheng Pusi, were given iron coupons, and they were not rebellious, and each forgave ten deaths.

Jinghui was worried that Wu Sansi would slander him, so he sent Cui Xiang, a test examiner, to act as his eyes and ears to reconnoiter Wu Sansi's movements.

Seeing that Li Xian was close to Wu Sansi and alienated from Jinghui, he rebelled and told Wu Sansi all of Jinghui's conspiracy, and was trusted and reused by Wu Sansi, and was promoted to a scholar.

Wu Sansi and Empress Wei slandered Jinghui and others day and night, and drew a plan for Li Xian, saying: "Zhang Cambodia, Jinghui and others are dictatorial power, which will be detrimental to the society. It is better to crown the five of them as kings, stop their political affairs, and not lose their favor to the heroes externally, and seize real power internally! Li Xianshen thought so.

On May 16, Jinghui was appointed as the king of Pingyang, Huan Yanfan was appointed as the king of Fuyang, Zhang Khan was appointed as the king of Hanyang, Yuan Shuji was appointed as the king of Nanyang, and Cui Xuanwei was appointed as the king of Boling.

On the 18th, Shangguan Jieyu persuaded Empress Wei to follow the story of Wu Cao, and asked the world to serve the mourning for her mother for three years, and asked the people to be twenty-two years old, fifty-nine exempted from military service, and Li Xiandu issued a system.

On the 25th, Wu Sansi, the king of Liang, was the king of Dejing County, the king of Wuyou was the king of Leshou County, and the king of Hanoi, Wu Yizong, and other twelve people were demoted to the prince of the country, so as to conform to the hearts of the people. He also took Wei Anshi as the middle book order, Wei Yuanzhong as the servant, and Yang Zaisi checked the school book order.

Tejin, Hanyang King Zhang Khan on the table, please go back to his hometown Xiangzhou to recuperate; On July 18, Zhang Cambodia was the assassin of Xiangzhou, and he did not know the state affairs, so he gave the whole money.

On November 2, the emperor of the ministers was honored as Emperor Yingtian, and Empress Wei was named Empress Shuntian. On the 6th, Li Xian and Empress Wei visited the Taimiao Temple and granted amnesty to the world; King Xiang and Princess Taiping added a real seal, both full of 10,000 households.

On the twenty-first day of the first month of the second year of Shenlong, Li Xian escorted Wu Xiaoling back to Chang'an. On the 10th day of the first month of the leap month, the three people of Tejin Jinghui, Huan Yanfan, and Yuan Shuji were the assassins of the three states.

Guangluqing Wang Tongjiao is a generous person, dissatisfied with Wu Sansi and Empress Wei's fornication to disrupt the country, and often discusses privately with his cronies Zhang Zhongzhi, Zu Yanqing, and Wudang Cheng Zhou Jing, wanting to get rid of Wu Sansi and Empress Wei.

Song Zhixun overheard these words under the curtain, reported his brother Song Zhiwen, and sent his nephew Song Tan to report to Wu Sansi. Song Zhiwen also sent Fuzhou Sicang Ran Zuyong to write a letter to inform the change.

Wu Sansi ordered Song Tan and Ran Zuyong to write a letter, accusing Wang Tongjiao and Zhang Zhongzhi, Zu Yanqing, Zhou Jing and other unsolicited strong men to murder Wu Sansi, and also extort the army and abolish the queen.

On 7 March, Wang Tongjiao and his cronies Zhang Zhongzhi, Zu Yanqing, and Zhou Jing were all beheaded and their families were confiscated.

At the beginning, because the party attached the Zhang Changzong brothers, Song Zhiwen moved to Luzhou to join the army, and Song Zhixun became the Sicang of Yanzhou. Song Zhiwen's brothers soon absconded back to Luoyang, Song Zhiwen hid in Zhang Zhong's house, and Song Zhixun was arranged by Wang Tongjiao to live in a small house in his own courtyard.

Others kindly took in his two brothers, but his two brothers took revenge and denounced their benefactor, staging a classic story of the farmer and the snake.

Afterwards, Song Zhixun was promoted to Guanglu Cheng, Song Zhiwen was promoted to Honglu Cheng, and Song Tan was promoted to Shangyi Fengyu. The people of the time ridiculed them and said: "Song Zhiwen's brother's scarlet shirt is dyed with Wang Tongjiao's blood!" ”

Wu Sansi sent Zheng Su to sue Langzhou Assassin Shi Jinghui, Bozhou Assassin Shi Huan Yanfan, Xiangzhou Assassin Shi Zhang Cambodia, Yingzhou Assassin Yuan Shuji, Junzhou Assassin Shi Cui Xuanwei and Wang Tongjiao conspired.

On June 6, Jinghui was demoted to Yazhou Sima, Huan Yanfan was named Luzhou Sima, Zhang Cambodia was Xinzhou Sima, Yuan Shuji was Douzhou Sima, Cui Xuanwei was Baizhou Sima, and the former officials were knighted and posthumously.

Wu Sansi secretly asked Empress Wei to write about her filthy deeds, and publicized it on the Tianjin Bridge, asking the emperor to depose the empress. Li Xian was furious and ordered the imperial historian Li Chengjia to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Li Chengjia played: "Jing Hui, Huan Yanfan, Zhang Cambodia, Yuan Shuji, Cui Xuanwei and other people are secrets for this list, although they are famous after the abolition, there is really a dangerous plan, please add the clan to extermination!" ”

Wu Sansi sent his daughter-in-law, Princess Anle, to advise on the inside, and the servant Shi Zheng to say it outside, and Li Xian approved Li Chengjia's request and ordered the Law Division to close the case.

On July 30, Yi Jinghui and other five people were given iron coupons, promising immortality, Changliu Jinghui in Yazhou, Huan Yanfan in Yingzhou, Zhang Cambodia in Luzhou, Yuan Shuji in Huanzhou, Cui Xuanwei in Guzhou, and imprisoned for life, and the children were more than 16 years old, all exiled outside the mountains.

Cui Xiang, a member of the Zhongshu House, persuaded Wu Sansi and said: "Jinghui and the others will return to the north one day, and they will eventually be troubled, so it is better to send corrections to kill them." Wu Sansi asked who could send the envoy, and Cui Xiang recommended his aunt Jiazhou Sima Zhou Lizhen. Wu Sansi ordered Zhou Lizhen to take the right stage to serve the imperial history, and was sent to the outside of the mountain.

By the time Zhou Lizhen arrived at the place of exile, Zhang Cambodia and Cui Xuanwei had already died of illness. Zhou Lizhen met Huan Yanfan in Guizhou, and ordered the left and right guards to bind Huan Yanfan, drag him on the bamboo chariot, and the flesh was exhausted to the bone, and then killed with a cane.

After Jinghui was caught, he was tortured.

After catching Yuan Shuji, he forced him to drink the grass juice of the broken intestines, and he didn't die after drinking a few liters, Yuan Shuji was in pain, he slammed the ground with his hands, his fingernails were scratched off, and the blood flowed all over the ground, so he was beaten to death.

After Zhou Lizhen completed his mission and returned to the court, he worshiped Yushi Zhongcheng.
