Spring is blooming, and everything is recovering.

After a cold winter, this spring, it seems that everyone is a little restless.

In this spring, Wu Zetian issued a holy decree, announcing that "Ci's Yuegu" would be deleted from her emperor's honorific title, and Ci's was "Maitreya".

And now, she no longer needs Maitreya, and she has re-added an honorific title to herself: "Emperor of the Golden Wheel of Heaven".

The Book of Heaven, appointed by God!

Subsequently, the Emperor of the Golden Wheel of Heaven established the Crane Prison.

Canonized Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi as offerings.

The offerings of the Teaching Department are all good songs and dances to entertain the Son of Heaven.

The two major offerings of the crane prison rely on male sex and couch kung fu.

Wu Zetian changed his honorific title to "Emperor of the Golden Wheel of Heaven".

He also established a crane control prison, and publicly raised Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi in the palace, called the big offering, which was actually her queen.

And through the two sheets, more young and handsome teenagers were selected to enter the palace, as if they were going to create a "big harem".

The imperial court has just received a report from the northern prefecture and county, saying that the Turkic Ashina and Ashid have gathered more than 100,000 people in a few days, and it has become a trend of attacking the grassland.

When the news came back to Beijing, Wu Zetian was furious.

Originally, Wu Zetian thought that the Turks were rebelling, but it was just a small tribe that gave birth to some right and wrong, and it could be wiped out with a snap of his fingers.

As a result, the border army lost two states in a row, and the thieves became more and more numerous.

As a result, the imperial court had to dispatch troops and raise money and food in order to quell the rebellion.

However, Wu Zetian is now over 70 years old, even if she accepts 10,000 male concubines, it is impossible to have another child.

And the current crown prince, His Royal Highness Li Dan, everyone knows that it is an ornament.

It is impossible for the empress to let him inherit the country, so the establishment of an heir has become a matter of more concern to people in the court.

Although the people in the court paid attention to this matter, no one dared to propose to the emperor to establish a prince at the moment.

The previous generations of prime ministers have done this kind of thing, but the result is not good.

Now they don't know what Wu Zetian thinks, and Wu Zetian hasn't issued an order to ask, who dares to talk more?

.......

The oblique moon is in the sky, and the fine willows are in the wind.

A gorgeous mansion that opened directly outside the walls of the square suddenly opened wide.

Two rows of Goryeo maids came out with lanterns, and Kunlun Nu led the horse, knelt on one knee, and waited for the master to step on his knees and get on the horse.

Liang Wang Wu Sansi was so drunk that his face was pale, and he was already six or seven points drunk, supported by two bewitching beauties, and said goodbye to the guests one by one.

The ability to work King Liang personally greeted him is naturally not an idle person, under the lantern, a pair of jade people are Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, who are as beautiful as lotus flowers.

In addition to Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, who have been secretly laughed at by the people as the "queen" and "concubine" of the Great Zhou, there are also three brothers, Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Changqi and Zhang Changyi, who went to the banquet of King Liang today.

Wu Sansi personally sent Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers out of the palace.

The two brothers said goodbye to their friends and went back to the palace.

The Empress is now very infatuated with them, and she should not stay away from them for too long.

The rest of the people took advantage of the wine to believe in the reins, and there were servants and subordinates with lanterns and torches, strolling along the Luoshui Causeway, so they were not at ease.

……

At this time, it was already afternoon, and Wu Zetian went to the court, and first went to Wucheng Hall to deal with some important movements.

He also asked Shangguan Wan'er about the transfer of grain, grass, soldiers, horses, and weapons to prepare for the progress of quelling the Turkic rebels.

Then he turned back to Lichun Terrace and talked and laughed with Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yi for a while.

I was not in good spirits, so I fell asleep on the couch.

Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi saw Wu Zetian taking a nap and went to the garden to swing.

I felt bored and went fishing again, and as soon as the hook was thrown into the pond, an attendant came to report that Zhang Tongxiu had arrived.

The two brothers were very happy, and hurriedly put the fishing rod aside, and asked for the elder brother to be invited.

Zhang Tongxiu was led to the edge of the pool, and Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi sat down with him at a stone table.

Gong E offered fresh fruit and retreated.

Zhang Changzong said to Zhang Tongxiu.

"The two of us are extremely bored in the palace, and we look forward to the brothers coming to talk to us every day, the eldest brother entered the palace today, why didn't he bring Changyi and Changqi?"

Zhang Tongxiu looked around and lowered his voice.

"I entered the palace today because I had something important to discuss with you."

Zhang Yizhi was surprised and said, "Brother, is there something going on at home?" ”

Zhang Tongxiu shook his head and said, "Everything is fine at home, nothing happens!" ”

Among the Zhang brothers, Zhang Tongxiu is known for his strategy, so his prestige is very high.

......

After Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi were persuaded by their cousin Zhang Tongxiu, every time they left the palace, they would visit the Liang Palace.

The Zhang brothers were a general emerging force in the imperial court that had just risen to prominence and had already shown great power.

Suddenly moving so closely with King Liang immediately attracted the attention of people with a heart.

All the dignitaries in the imperial court are investigating the reasons behind this movement, especially the heir of Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei.

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi fought for many years, and the two sides won and lost each other, but the total strength was balanced.

Now that the Zhang brothers and Wu Sansi are so friendly, Wu Chengsi has to wonder if there is some kind of alliance between them.

But he tried his best and didn't find out what insider trading the Zhang brothers and Wu Sansi had.

And the king of Wei, Wu Chenghei, heard the news.

"The Emperor has decided to establish an heir!"

The emperor had decided to appoint King Wu Sansi of Liang as the crown prince, but the matter was very important, so he kept it secret and only prepared in secret.

And Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi were able to know this big secret because they were the female emperor's pillows.

Wu Sansi would be the future emperor, and the Zhang brothers were so close to him, obviously looking for a way out for themselves.

The Empress kept it a secret.

After all, the people of the world still have a very high degree of recognition of Li Tang.

If the imperial court suddenly announced that the Wu clan would inherit the country, I am afraid that it would cause political turmoil.

In particular, Wei Wang Wu Chengsi and Liang Wang Wu Sansi have always been fiercely competitive.

If Wu Chengji learns about this, he will also mobilize his forces to oppose it.

Therefore, the empress, just like when she first ascended the throne, needs to first smooth out all the resistance and lay out everything before announcing to the world the decision to change the crown prince.

......

Wu Chengsi was anxious about whether the emperor had decided to make Wu Sansi the crown prince, and immediately drove to see Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping was also shocked when she heard the news, and immediately consulted with him, determined to unite all the forces that could be united, so as to make a strong backlash and put pressure on the emperor to dispel her possible plans to become the crown prince.

For the sake of his own safety, and for the sake of the crown prince's belonging, Wu Chengsi worked hand in hand with the remnants of Li Tang for the first time.

Under the cover of his leading brother, although he can't see anything in the short term.

But in the long run, all Li Tang faction, whether it is under Princess Taiping, and the ministers loyal to the prince will have a more relaxed development environment.

Li Tang's power has further recovered, like the vigorous weeds in the suburbs in spring.

……

The sky is blue, and the breeze carries an intoxicating spring mood.

Gently brush over the red flowers and green willows, breeze through the green mountains and green waters, brush through the palaces and pavilions, and brush through the market alleys.

Lichun Terrace, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, and there is a refreshing fragrance of flowers all day long.

Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi found many young and handsome teenagers for Wu Zetian and filled her harem.

However, Wu Zetian only tasted most of these handsome teenagers, and her favorite was always these two teenagers surnamed Zhang.

On the Wucheng Palace, Wu Zetian convened a group of prime ministers.

Discuss which generals to send to fight against the Turks.

The steppe is vast, and the Turkic tribes are numerous, and the population is large.

At that time, after the Tang Dynasty pacified the Turkic Khanate, the Turkic people were divided into three parts, although some of them moved to the Hequ area, but there were still many Turkic tribes living in the steppe.

In order to appease the Turks, the imperial court made the tribal chieftain the governor of the prefecture or the governor of Zhenyuan, and did not send officials or garrison troops, allowing the Turkic tribes to govern themselves.

As a result, the Turks were defeated but never dissipated.

Fifty years, two generations, the Turks have never been sinicized, so they have always disagreed with the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this loose 'fetter' rule of the Tang Dynasty that it has led to repeated rebellions and independence of the Turks!

......

This time the Turkic rebellion was very large-scale, and the disaster was not small.

The Turkic chieftain Ashina Gu Dulu contacted all the tribes of the steppe to entangle the soldiers and horses, and once again raised the banner of rebellion.

"Gu Dulu" is the meaning of "happy" in Turkic language, Ashina Gu Dulu was originally a descendant of the Shu people of the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan, after the defeat of the Eastern Turks, his grandfather was appointed by the Tang Dynasty to be the head of the subordinate of the Shan Yu Youxiang Yunzhong Governor Relic Yuanying, hereditary Tutun Si.

After the fall of Zhenguan in the fourth year of the Eastern Turks, for almost half a century, the various tribes were basically stable.

However, due to the fact that the Tang court often recruited them to go on expeditions, it gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the Turkic tribes, especially some ethnic upper-class figures who bred the idea of restoring the country.

In the 10th lunar month of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic chieftains Ashid Wenfu and Ashina Fengzhi led their troops to oppose the Tang Dynasty and made Ashina Nishulu as the khan. The Turkic chieftains of the twenty-four states responded to them, and their tribes numbered hundreds of thousands.

In the third lunar month of Tang Yonglong, the general manager of the Tang Dingxiang Road march, Heizhi Changzhi, broke the Turkic army in Montenegro and captured Ashina Feng. Ashina Nishu Khan was killed by his subordinates.

The remnants of the Turks retreated west to the Wolf Mountain. Ashid Wen Fu crossed the Yellow River north from Xiazhou to Yingjieli Khan's nephew Ashina Funian and became Khan.

In the first year of Tang Kaiyao, Ashina Funian and Ashdwin Fu attacked Wonju and Gyeongju.

In the autumn of that year, under the pressure of the Tang Army, Ashina Funian arrested Ashid Wenfu and surrendered to Heizhi Changzhi.

The black tooth Changzhi promised to protect Ashina Fu Nian from death.

But after returning to Beijing, Pei Yan was jealous of Hei Yanchang's great achievements, and instigated Tang Gaozong to kill Ashina Fu Nian.

Tang Gaozong's practice made the Turks very dissatisfied, and laid the foundation for Ashina's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty.

After the defeat of Ashina Funian and Ashid Wenfu, Ashina Gu Dulu led 17 people to flee, gathering the remnants of the Turkic diaspora along the way, and retreating to Zongcai Mountain.

In the first year of Tang Yongchun, Ashina Gu Dulu gradually gathered more than 700 people and occupied Heisha City.

After a period of development, the number of subordinates increased to more than 5,000.

Subsequently, Ashina Gu Dulu led his troops to plunder the nine surnamed Tiele, got a large number of sheep and horses, and his power gradually became stronger.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ashina Gu Dulu occupied the Wudeshan Mountain in Mobei, set up a tent, and rebuilt the Turkic regime, which was known as the Eastern Turkic Khanate in history.

Ashina Gu Dulu established himself as the Khan of Jiechuan Lishi, and took Heisha City as the southern tooth, and his younger brother Ashina Mosi was stationed in his place, and Du Xilu was the Ye Protector, and the post-Turkic period began.

At that time, Ashde Yuanzhen, a tribal official who was degraded to the Imperial Palace, was imprisoned by Wang Benli of Changshi for breaking the law, and when he heard that Ashina Gu Dulu had raised an army against the Tang Dynasty, he falsely claimed to persuade the Turkic tribes to retreat in order to atone for his sins, and then took the opportunity to defect to Ashina Gu Dulu.

Asid Yuanzhen was a shrewd politician and adviser who had lived in the Central Plains for a long time, so he was familiar with the reality of the Tang Dynasty's frontiers. The arrival of Ashid Yuanzhen has strengthened Ashina's bones.

"He used the knowledge he had gained in China about Chinese customs, politics, and thought, especially the fact that Tang Gaozong had been weakened by court intrigues, to serve the new khan."

Ashina Gu Dulu immediately appointed him as Apodagan to command the Turkic soldiers and horses, and when the army was at its strongest, the Turkic cavalry numbered hundreds of thousands.

The Tang Dynasty went out every year, fought on many fronts, and was tired of running for his life.

Gu Dulu seized the opportunity of the Tang Dynasty's internal and external troubles, and launched a series of activities to the Tang Court.

The Tang court saw that Ashina's Gu Dulu was gaining momentum, so he appointed Xue Rengui, the acting governor of the prefecture, to lead the army to attack.

Ashide Yuanzhen and Xue Rengui met in Yunzhou, but Ashide Yuanzhen was defeated, more than 10,000 people were beheaded, more than 20,000 people were captured, and more than 30,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep were lost.

Seeing that the political situation in the Tang Dynasty was unstable, Ashina Gu Dulu led his army south again, attacked Shuozhou, and killed and plundered officials, but was defeated by Cheng Wuting.

In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, Wu Zetian used Cheng Wuting as a single Yudao to appease the ambassador in preparation for the Turks.

Because Cheng Wu was very good at controlling the public and had great prestige, the generals of the Tang Army used their lives to defeat the invasion of Ashina Gu Dulu many times, and Ashina Gu Dulu had to lead his troops to go away.

But in the 12th month of the lunar calendar, Cheng Wuting was killed because he defended himself on behalf of Pei Yan, who was imprisoned and was to be beheaded, and violated Wu Zetian's will.

After the Turkic rulers got the news, because the enemy had died, they held a special banquet to celebrate, but they also set up a shrine for Cheng Wu, and went to pray before each army.

Soon, Wang Fangyi, the governor of Xiazhou, was also killed by Liuya Prefecture because of his friendship with Cheng Wuting.

At this point, the Tang Dynasty had no unscrupulous generals available on the northern border.

Ashina Gu Dulu seized the fighter plane and attacked the northern border of the Tang Dynasty many times in the second lunar month of the first year of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang army was defeated and retreated due to unscrupulous generals, and Wu Zetian had no choice but to use Zuo Yuqi Wei Zhonglang as the head of the Yangqu Road march, and the deputy general Zhonglang would attack Ashina Gu Dulu on the Danying Festival.

On April 8 of the lunar calendar, Ashina Gu Dulu attacked Daizhou, Chun Yu led the army to rescue after hearing the news, when the Tang army entered the Xinzhou area, the Turkic cavalry suddenly launched an attack on the Tang army, more than 5,000 Tang troops were killed, and the rescue of Daizhou failed.

In the 11th month of the lunar calendar, Wu Zetian took Wei Zhiqi as the general manager of the Yanran Road march and attacked the Turks.

Soon, it was in vain.

Wu Zetian saw that the Tang army had failed to win several times, so he transferred back the famous general Zuo Ying Yangwei, who had repeatedly broken through Tibet, and was responsible for presiding over border affairs.

In the face of an opponent like the famous Black Tooth Changzhi, Ashina Gu Dulu did not stop attacking.

In the ninth lunar month of the second year of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Gu Dulu and others led the army to attack the northern part of the eastern part of the Tang River.

When more than 3,000 Turkic soldiers entered the two wells, they met Heizhi Changzhi and returned defeated.

After this defeat, Ashina Gu Dulu temporarily stopped the attack.
