After a while, all the soldiers rushed to the outside of the Jixian Palace, and there was no obstruction along the way, and the crown prince Li Xian saw it in his eyes, and his heart suddenly became clear, it seems that the forbidden troops in the palace have already been subsumed under the gate of Zhang Khan.

When the prince arrived at the Jixian Palace, hundreds of soldiers had already gathered outside the hall, and judging from the armor of the soldiers, they belonged to the forbidden army! The leader is no one else, it is the prime minister Li Dan, the prince saw that he was already here, his heart was shocked, it turned out that he had also joined the coup d'état in advance, the prince's gaze passed through the prime minister, and behind him was the prince who had been waiting for a long time, but did not see Li Sanlang, Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiuling.

Until this moment, the crown prince Li Xian woke up like a dream, it turned out that this coup, only he himself was kept in the dark, everyone was already prepared, although the prince was on fire in his heart, but in this way, it can be regarded as the trend of the times, the matter has come to this, the prince can't help but sigh, and finally has a sense of relief in his heart.

The forbidden army has been tied up by five flowers, kneeling on the ground more than ten people, the prince saw this and rode forward to check, it turned out that the people who were tied up were Zhang Yizhi's henchmen in the court, at this time the king also rode up to meet him, and said with an arched hand: "I have seen His Royal Highness the prince!" ”

The prince didn't answer, but just nodded at the Prime Minister, who continued: "At three o'clock today, I have led the forbidden army to raid Zhang Yizhi's henchmen's mansion at night, and now Zhang Yizhi's henchmen are all here, none of them escaped, please take a look!" ”

The crown prince glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and slowly replied: "What Brother Wang did, this palace is expected to be fine, where are the main culprits Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong now?" ”

After listening to the prince's question, the king immediately waved his hand, and a person walked out of the forbidden army, and the prince took a closer look, it was Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi replied: "I have seen His Royal Highness the prince, and the little one knows where the two of them are imprisoned, so I will go and bring the two of them here." With that, he turned around and took a few sergeants with him and left.

The crown prince looked at the king meaningfully, and whispered, "Brother Wang, is it appropriate for us to act like this?" Your Majesty, she... ”

King Xiang replied: "Brother, Your Majesty is no longer my brother's mother, is it possible that my brother has forgotten how she treated me when he was in Shangyuan?" ”

The prince sighed and continued: "But after all, she is the dearest relative of the two of us, and this cannot be changed. ”

King Xiang continued to reply: "Brother, please rest assured, today we are only killing the sinner Zhang Yi and asking His Majesty to return Li Tang Jiangshan Sheji, which will never be detrimental to Your Majesty." ”

After hearing this, the prince could only nod and mutter, "I hope so!" ”

After a while, Gao Lishi and more than a dozen sergeants brought Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong over, the prince was shocked when he saw this, the two did not change their prison uniforms, and they did not have torture equipment, they still looked like brocade clothes and jade food, at this time Zhang Cambodia also rode to the prince, and saw Zhang Yizhi and the two angrily reprimanded: "Shameless people, committed such a heinous crime, and now, they can still live like this, it really makes everyone feel cold!" ”

Zhang Yizhi looked around, and suddenly understood what was happening, so he said coldly: "So what? If you lead your troops here and commit disobedience, aren't you afraid of being exterminated by the Nine Clans? ”

While the two were talking, King Xiang suddenly became a little confused

His color changed, and he leaned over and whispered to Gao Lishi: "These two people are strong in martial arts, so they don't bring torture equipment, isn't it dangerous?" ”

Gao Lishi replied: "Please rest assured, King Xiang, for a few days, I have quietly let people add cartilage powder to his meal, and the two of them have no power to fight back at this time." ”

After hearing this, King Xiang finally nodded, and the uneasy look on his face suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Cambodia continued to say loudly: "Such a treacherous person, the old minister disdains to have a war of words with you, come and behead the two!" ”

When Zhang Yizhi heard this, he was immediately shocked and said loudly: "You dare! ”

Zhang Cambodia smiled coldly and replied, "Do you dare to see me?" Do it! ”

Zhang Yizhi glanced around, only to see that the prince and the king were silent, it seemed that Zhang Cambodia was really moving, so he wanted to fight back, but as soon as he moved, his hands and feet suddenly became weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Several sergeants forcibly erected the paralyzed Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, even if the two shouted for help, everyone turned a deaf ear, and the two were forcibly taken to the corridor of the Jixian Palace.

The crown prince looked at Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong who were executed, and couldn't help but think of the past in his heart, if he wanted to say that he hated these two, maybe no one could compare to the prince Li Xian, but because of the situation, he could only endure it. Zhang Yizhi's brother's dictatorship, Prince Li Xian's son Shao Wang and his daughter Yongtai County Lord, sister-in-law Wei Wang had secretly discussed, not wanting to be Zhang Yizhi's ears and eyes to know, Zhang Yizhi then distorted the facts and wantonly slandered the female emperor, the female emperor listened to the slander, not only scolded the prince, but also strictly ordered the prince to punish severely, and the helpless prince had to force his son and pregnant daughter to hang themselves. Zhang Yizhi's brother still refused to give up, and sent the king of Wei to prison until he was forced to die. Because of this, the crown prince lost a son, a daughter, a son-in-law, and a future grandson; The prince's hatred for the two of them can be imagined, so watching the two of them being beheaded with his own eyes at this moment, he can be regarded as having more happiness and comfort in his heart.

Zhang Cambodia saw that the two had been ambushed, so he said: "Please invite the prince and the king to enter the palace!" The two brothers glanced at each other, and then led everyone to start walking slowly towards the Jixian Palace.

The female emperor is still in good spirits today, and has been sitting on the main hall, just now the movement outside the hall alarmed the female emperor, and she was about to send someone to investigate, but she saw everyone break into the main hall, and was immediately surprised, but after all, she was the son of heaven, and she stabilized her mind, so she asked everyone loudly: "I heard that there was a movement outside the hall, who is making trouble?" ”

Seeing the female emperor's question, Zhang Cambodia immediately stepped forward and replied: "Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong conspired to rebel, and the ministers have beheaded the two of them here on the orders of the prince. Raising troops to punish thieves in the imperial city alarmed Your Majesty, and the ministers and others deserve to die! ”

When the female emperor heard that the two of them had been beheaded, she immediately looked shocked, and sorrow came from it, she never expected that the people in front of her would dare to be so bold, but with the wisdom of the female emperor, she suddenly understood that killing these two people was just an excuse, and what she really wanted to do was to force the palace!

The female emperor tried her best

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

calmed her emotions, looked towards the crowd, and finally her eyes fell on the crown prince Li Xian, she slowly spoke: "Did you let them do this?" Without waiting for the prince to reply, she continued: "Since the two of them have been killed, then you can go back to the East Palace!" ”

The prince didn't know how to deal with his mother, Huan Yanfan stepped forward to take over and replied loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the prince will never be able to return to the East Palace, the prince is old, but he has always deigned to be the prince, it is really inappropriate!" Now the will of heaven and the people's hearts, all of them are grateful for Li Tang's kindness, so I also ask Your Majesty to pass on the throne to the crown prince, obey the will of heaven and the people, so as not to cause more trouble in the future! ”

When the female emperor heard this, she was immediately furious and muttered, "Li Tang! Succession! More troubles! Are you threatening me? ”

Everyone was silent after hearing this, and the female emperor looked at Cui Xuanwei and scolded loudly: "I don't say anything about the others, you are personally promoted by me, and you actually repay my great kindness like this?" ”

Cui Xuanwei was silent, and the female emperor continued to look at Li Zhan, and said in the same sharp voice: "I am not thin on your father and son, you are so ungrateful!" When Li Zhan heard this, his face immediately turned red, but he didn't answer a word.

The female emperor just reprimanded the people in the hall one by one, except for the female emperor in the hall, no one responded, for a long time, the female emperor may be tired of scolding, may know that this is useless, and may understand that the general trend has gone at this moment, so he sat down on the dragon chair for a moment, no longer made a sound, waved his hand to everyone, and two lines of muddy old tears couldn't help but flow slowly from the corners of his eyes. The legendary life of the female emperor is now in front of her eyes, but no matter how many times she has been, she is powerless at this moment!

On the same day, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong's comrades were all beheaded, and the main culprits were escorted to the bridge in Tianjin, the capital of God, to show the public. On the same day, Prime Minister Li Dan led the forbidden army to confiscate the private property of all party henchmen, and none of Zhang's friends were spared.

On the twenty-third day of the first month, the female emperor issued a letter and ordered the crown prince Li Xian to be the prisoner of the country.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, the Zen Rang ceremony.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, the crown prince Li Xian was officially reinstated, and the Li Tang Dynasty was restored, called Tang Zhongzong.

The success of the coup d'état, Li Xianzi was rewarded, Cui Xuanwei was awarded the king of Boling County, Zhang Cambodia was named the king of Hanyang County, Jinghui was named the king of Pingyang County, Huan Yanfan was named the king of Fuyang County, and Yuan Shuji was named the king of Nanyang County.

But how could the five kings know that this coup d'état was a curse for themselves, Li Xian was very jealous of the five people, and the division of the county kings was nothing more than to cut their prime minister's power, and finally to catch them all; In order to check and balance power, Li Xian left Wu Sansi and others, and finally Jinghui was killed soon after he went to Yazhou, Zhang Cambodia died of grief and illness in Xinzhou, Cui Xuanwei died of illness in Lingnan, and Huan and Yuan were killed by the envoys sent by Li Xian, and in less than two years, all the five kings died.

Speaking back to the female emperor, since the Zen throne will live in Shangyang Palace, Li Xian visits every day, at the end of the same year, the female emperor died of illness in the Xianju Hall of Shangyang Palace, at the age of eighty-two, a generation of empress Wu Zetian passed away, the edict omitted its emperor name, called "Zetian Great Sage Empress", the second year of Shenlong, May, and Gaozong were buried in Qianling.
