The first year of Tang Long, that is, the fifth year after the Shenlong coup.

In just five years, it can be said that the situation has changed, and things are not people.

After the Shenlong coup, Li Xian wanted to make Li Dan the emperor's younger brother, but Li Dan did not change his original intention and resolutely refused to allow it.

In the second year of Shenlong, Li Xian chose to appoint his third son Li Chongjun as the crown prince, but he was not the eldest son of the emperor, and he was not born to Empress Wei, so he was quite suspicious. Speaking of Empress Wei, this person is Li Xian's queen, since Li Xian ascended the throne, he has been really weak in civil and martial arts, which has also led to a sharp expansion of Empress Wei's desire for power and began to monopolize power. After the Shenlong coup, Wu Sansi survived, in order to further protect himself, he let his son Wu Chongxun win the youngest daughter of Wei Hou, Princess Anle, since then, Wu Sansi and Wei Hou formed a political alliance to deal with the five kings who made great contributions in the Shenlong coup, just over a year, none of the five kings were spared, and all of them died.

Princess Anle is very much like the former Princess Taiping, deeply favored by Li Xian and Empress Wei, extremely powerful, and most of the powerful ministers in the court come from her subordinates, so that Princess Anle does not put the crown prince Li Chongjun in her eyes at all, and humiliates her in every way, and even bluntly says to Li Xian that she will depose the crown prince and re-establish herself as the crown princess!

Li Chongjun endured in every possible way, and finally exploded, the angry Li Chongjun led the left Yulin general Li Duozuo, the right Yulin army general Li Sichong and other more than 1,000 soldiers, took the lead in killing the Liang Wangfu, Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun failed to predict this matter in advance, so they were all killed by the Yulin army in the Liang Wangfu, Wu Sansi's more than ten people in the same party were not spared, and a generation of powerful ministers Wu Sansi has since passed away.

Seeing the capture of the Liang Palace, Li Chongjun divided his troops to surround the gates of the palace, and personally led his troops to cut through the pass, and the soldiers pointed directly at Empress Wei and Princess Anle; Shangguan Wan'er has always been friendly with Wu Sansi, and after Wu Sansi formed a political alliance with Empress Wei, he naturally fell to the side of Empress Wei, and saw Li Chongjun leading his troops to kill, so he led Li Xian, Empress Wei and Princess Anle to flee to Xuanwu Gate. Things are always a reincarnation, Li Xian started from this, but now he is forced to flee here, and he suddenly sighs in his heart.

Not long after Li Xian and others fled into the Xuanwu Gatehouse, Li Duoluo led his troops here, and the soldiers desperately blocked it, and Li Duoluo couldn't enter for a while. Li Xian was scheming at this moment, standing upstairs and shouting: "You and the others are all soldiers of my Tang Dynasty, why are you disobedient to the thieves?" If you submit to me, I will keep you rich! ”

This plan really worked, Li Duo's subordinates have defected, cut it off under the horse, without Li Duo's fraud for assistance, Li Chongjun was immediately defeated, his subordinates dispersed, Li Chongjun only led more than 100 subordinates to escape from the Shendu, ready to take refuge in the Turks, but halfway through, Li Chongjun was killed by his own subordinates, and his subordinates dedicated his rank to the imperial court, this coup d'état is known as the Jinglong coup d'état, and finally failed.

As soon as Wu Sansi died, the Wu clan suddenly fell apart, which was divided into three factions, some of them took refuge in the powerful Empress Wei, some of them took refuge in the Taiping princess who was in Taoguang's obscurity, and the rest took refuge in Li Sanlang.

In the first year of Tang Long, Li Sanlang at this time was twenty-five years old, since the Shenlong coup, whether in the court, or in the army, Li Sanlang's prestige is high, Li Sanlang, who has already set the emperor's ambitions, is no longer a thing in the pool today, his character and resourcefulness have become very similar to a generation of saint Emperor Taizong Emperor Li Shimin, domineering and exposed, resourceful and strategic, and the city is quite deep; Not only has he grown up, but even the people around him have made rapid progress, Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiuling have long been in important positions, and no one in the government and the opposition knows or knows them.

On the contrary, Wei Hou

Since taking power, she has appointed cronies, cultivated her own power, and vigorously suppressed the forces that oppose her.

The first year of Tang Long, June.

Everyone entered the palace according to the usual practice, but everyone just entered the palace gate, they were shocked, the palace hung white cloth everywhere, the eunuchs, the guards all wore mourning clothes, Li Sanlang was also surprised, everyone finally came to the main hall, only to see that the dragon chair was empty, Wei Hou sat on the side of the dragon chair wearing mourning clothes, and stood on the side of the slightly immature Li Xian's son - Li Chongmao. Empress Wei's eyes were red, as if she had cried.

Seeing this scene, Li Sanlang couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, could it be that His Majesty died?

Seeing that everyone had entered the hall, Empress Wei immediately cried loudly: "Last night, Your Majesty unfortunately died of illness!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe it, how could His Majesty, who was still healthy before, suddenly die? Everyone looked at each other at first, and then a loud wail began to erupt in the main hall. Li Sanlang also felt sad in his heart, all along, Li Xian has also taken good care of himself, and when he heard about this, Li Sanlang couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

After everyone's crying was a little quieter, Empress Wei finally said slowly: "Your Majesty has died, everyone please mourn!" Country... You can't go without a king for a day, Your Majesty's last words are to set up the fourth son Li Chongmao as the new king! As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at Li Chongmao, Li Chongmao's face suddenly turned red, a little overwhelmed, and someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Then the crowd began to shout in unison; Li Sanlang saw this scene in his eyes, but doubts came to his heart. After everyone shouted, Empress Wei continued to say slowly: "The first emperor also said that the fourth son is young, and the palace will temporarily act as an auxiliary government, and I hope that all the Qing families will help in the future!" Until this moment, Li Sanlang finally saw clearly Empress Wei's ambition to monopolize power, Li Sanlang snorted coldly in his nose, but at this moment he had to hide it, and some people among the courtiers began to second, Li Sanlang looked at it, all of them were the cronies supported by Empress Wei, Li Sanlang smiled coldly again and said no more.

Li Xian's burial was busy with the court for a long time until a month later.

Li Sanlang suddenly received a letter from Princess Taiping, inviting her to the princess's mansion to talk, Li Sanlang knew that the opportunity he was waiting for had finally arrived, so he was invited to go. In recent years, although Princess Taiping Taoguang has been obscure, she has secretly continued to cultivate her own power, Li Sanlang dealt with Empress Wei, what she lacked was this force, and Princess Taiping invited her at this moment to do so.

Li Sanlang arrived at Princess Taiping's mansion, the two have not seen each other for a long time, since the Shenlong coup, Princess Taiping has long since faded the invincible arrogance on her body in order to protect herself, at least from the surface. Seeing Li Sanlang, he was full of enthusiasm, but Li Sanlang was missing those politeness at the moment, and asked bluntly: "My aunt summoned Saburo to come this time, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" I hope to tell you directly. ”

Princess Taiping saw that Li Sanlang was straight to the point, so she stopped going around the bend, and said: "It's not a secret, this palace has recently secretly investigated, and the first emperor was poisoned to death by Empress Wei and Princess Anle!" ”

Li Sanlang was not surprised when he heard this, he guessed seven or eighty percent in his heart that day, and later after Gaolis's secret investigation, this matter was indeed true, but there was no real evidence, even if there were, it was indeed a little difficult for him to move to Weihou on his own. So at this moment, Li Sanlang

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

He replied with a stern expression: "Dare to ask my aunt, how is that?" ”

Li Sanlang's reaction shocked Princess Taiping, so she said, "Don't you want to avenge the first emperor?" ”

Li Saburo replied: "Yes! The first emperor was not thin on San Lang, but San Lang's strength was limited, and it was difficult to succeed! ”

Taiping continued: "San Lang doesn't have to be too humble, my aunt knows that you are secretly recruiting wise and brave people, and now, my aunt is willing to help San Lang, and she will definitely be able to get rid of this scourge of Empress Wei!" ”

Li Sanlang saw that Taiping had told his true purpose, so he replied: "In this case, San Lang is willing to hear about it!" ”

Seven days later, late at night.

Li Sanlang was arranged by Princess Taiping, secretly came to the forbidden garden of the palace, and suddenly saw meteors scattered in the night sky, so he drew his sword and stood up, led several cronies of Empress Wei, beheaded the public, and shouted: "Empress Wei poisoned the first emperor, sought danger to the community, and tonight we support the king as the emperor to stabilize the world." After that, he unveiled the rod, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army saw that it was Li Sanlang, and they all happily obeyed.

Li Sanlang led the crowd to begin to attack the Xuande Gate, after the soldiers met in front of the Lingyan Pavilion, Li Sanlang led the troops to guard outside the Xuanwu Gate, and loudly clamored, and the soldiers in the palace saw that the person who started the incident was Li Sanlang, so they were all dressed neatly and responded one after another.

Empress Wei was greatly puzzled when he saw this, so he fled into the flying cavalry camp, and the flying cavalry also responded to Li Sanlang, one of whom saw Empress Wei, drew his sword, directly beheaded him, and dedicated the rank to Li Sanlang.

At this time, Princess An Le was facing the mirror thrush, but was beheaded by the soldiers who rushed into the palace.

Li Sanlang was in the Empress Wei, Princess Anle was dead, so he began to lead the army into the palace, Shangguan Wan'er saw this, and hurriedly led the palace people with a lantern to greet him, Li Sanlang saw that it was Shangguan Wan'er, without a moment of hesitation, and directly ordered it to be beheaded under his banner.

So far, Empress Wei, Princess Anle, and Shangguan Wan'er, who have troubled the harem, have all been killed by Li Sanlang.

Li Sanlang immediately ordered to close the gates of the Shendu and all the palace gates, and then sent tens of thousands of cavalry to search for the Wei family's relatives and disciples. The sky will break, and the inside and outside of the palace have been calmed.

Li Sanlang saw that everything had been decided, so he went out of the palace to meet Li Dan, the prime minister, and kowtowed to apologize for failing to inform him in advance before the incident.

When King Xiang heard this, he was really shocked, and then hugged Li Sanlang with tears and said: "The preservation of the Tang Dynasty Temple is all due to you!" Li Sanlang then led the army to welcome the prime minister Li Dan into the palace.

Two days later, Princess Taiping forced Li Chongmao to abdicate, and Li Dan, the prime minister, re-ascended the throne, which was for Tang Ruizong and changed Yuan Jingyun.

After another three days, Li Sanlang was made the crown prince.

The coup d'état came to an end, known in history as the Tanglong Coup!

Although Empress Wei's party was eliminated, Li Dan was like Li Xian, and he had no way to govern the country, allowing Princess Taiping's power to continue to grow, which eventually led to the crown prince Li Sanlang and Princess Taiping turning against each other and fighting against each other.

Two years later, Li Dan fulfilled his promise to Li Xian, and finally gave the throne to Li Sanlang for Tang Xuanzong.

A year later, Li Sanlang soldiers killed Princess Taiping, and as soon as Princess Taiping died, all the forces in the world were subsumed into Li Sanlang, and Li Sanlang finally ended the decades-long chaos of the regime.
