From a utilitarian point of view, for Wei Bo, the idea that Wei Zhen and Wei Rui gave him - finding a suitable way to kill Tang Cheng and the twenty guards to collect the hearts of the ten thousand cavalry is definitely a very good suggestion, if it can be implemented normally, Wei Bo can not only use this to eliminate the resentment of the ten thousand cavalry sergeants, but also use the situation created by Tang Cheng to continue to supervise and enforce military discipline in a slightly milder way, and gradually consolidate the authority in the ten thousand cavalry army with the help of this means, In the course of time, it may not be possible to truly control the whole army.

The king does not lose his country, and the minister does not lose his body. It's a pity that such a wonderful plan was because of the leak of a small house, because of Wang Jun's notice, because Tang Cheng's push turned into a farce in the end, and the Fuyuan General's Mansion that day was very lively, and when Mrs. Wang arrived, the whole farce finally staged the most gorgeous **.

Entangled the military and family affairs, and tied the things in front of her to the old feuds, when Mrs. Wang used this ultimate killer trick, her opponent was already destined to be indefensible.

Family matters can never be explained.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang was like a master of debate, revealing the old bottom and digging new sores, saying that the words of the past and now are like an invisible slap and fan towards Wei Zhen and Wei Rui, poor Wei Zhen and Wei Rui, two people who are quite prestigious in the Wei family, have no power to fight back.

Debate, debate what? There is nothing wrong with what Mrs. Wang said about the past, if you argue on this, the result is destined to be like turning over a garbage heap, the more you turn it, the more stinky it is, and this stinky is not someone else but yourself. What's more, for Wei Zhen and Wei Rui, even if they win, it is also a loss, and the uncle and nephew join forces to bully their nephew and daughter-in-law. Once such words come out, Erwei will immediately become the laughing stock of the entire Chang'an.

Special identity, special gender. Coupled with the special past and present, Wei Zhen and Wei Rui were powerless to fight back in the face of their sore feet being trampled on and even the full firepower of the Lady Wang.

Wei Zhen and Wei Rui were very angry, because they were completely faceless this time; Madame Wang was furious, because the two Wei family members whom she had been treating well all these years had actually provoked her husband to kill her people, and she really had reason to be angry; Wei Bo was furious, not only at the chaos in front of him, but also at the chaos that made him feel humiliated. was even more angry at the small actions behind Wei Rui, it turned out that in the eyes of this brother who was in his heart, he actually looked down on himself; The guards were also very angry, they were loyal to Wei Bo, and they were very respectful to Wei Zhen and Wei Rui on weekdays. But they didn't expect that it was these two people who were pushing the general to kill them. Loyal and slandered, honest and slandered, since Qu Yuan's "Lisao", this is one of the greatest sorrows in life.

In the end, with the help of Mrs. Wang's infinite demeanor, Tang Cheng perfectly achieved his goal, the power of killing is self-evident, and the break between Erwei is also a foregone conclusion.

After breaking with Wei Rui, Wei Bo will inevitably rely on himself more, and everything that is currently implemented in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army will not change, so far. Although the curtain of the palace change has not yet been officially opened, the ** of the palace change has not yet been staged. But for Tang Cheng, who had already participated in the scientific examination of the Ministry of Rites, his trip to Chang'an had basically ended.

After the events of the day in the Wei Mansion. Wei Zhen and Wei Rui, who were unwilling to settle for it, fought back again, and Sanwei had another argument in the Daming Palace in Longyuan. In front of Empress Wei, the main topic of the three's debate was the disagreement on the way the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army was commanded. This is a cliché, the difference from the past is that this time Wei Bo has shown unprecedented toughness, what Tang Cheng said in the past and what he has personally felt these days have been clearly laid out, and there are hundreds of officials and people who have recently praised the improvement of the discipline of the Ten Thousand Cavalry This empirical existence exists, Rao is Wei Rui and Wei Zhen said that they have not been able to gain the upper hand.

In the case of not being able to tell who is right and who is wrong. Empress Wei chose to appease. This is destined to inevitably be an inconclusive debate. The above are all places that Tang Cheng heard from Wei Bo's mouth. And from Li Longji, it sounds another version that is not quite the same. It is said that in this three-way debate. Wei Bo counted the Wei people's snubbing of him over the years, as well as the gossip and small actions of Wei Rui. When he talked about the sad place, he even wept in the temple.

When the issue was already in front of Empress Wei to make a final decision. It's not just a battle of ideas for the unification of the army. For Wei Bo and Wei Rui, it is more like a litmus test for who is more favored by Wei Hou. The results were not unexpected. Webb won the final victory.

Day. After Wei Bo returned from Daming Palace. Then he took an unprecedentedly tough posture and issued a military order to Tang Cheng. From now on, the monitoring and investigation will be carried out, and Wei Rui's ears, eyes and mouthpieces in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army will be completely eliminated. on this. Tang Cheng obeyed the order.

Not long after this incident. That is, at the time of the month of March. The ceremony of worshipping the sky in the southern suburbs of the world's attention was held as scheduled. It is in this festival of worship. Later, he became the first empress in Chinese history to serve as the queen of Yaxiandi.

But for Tang Cheng. What he really cared about at this ceremony was when he walked down the altar after the ceremony. Tang Cheng's heart almost mentioned in his throat.

But he was glad it was. Under the combined effect of the inherent pride of the Ten Thousand Cavalry and the strict military admonition before the departure. Under the altar, the 10,000 cavalry army was strictly organized. does not live up to the reputation of the Son of Heaven's personal defense; Fortunately, Fei Fei's riding performance made Tang Cheng even happier. Li Longji did not disappoint Tang Cheng this time. At his command. Those flying cavalry generals who were gathered by him did a good job of completing the task of "letting Wei Rui get a good look at it".

After the Son of Heaven and Empress Wei nodded frequently after the 10,000 cavalry arrived at the Flying Cavalry Formation, in this occasion of the attention of hundreds of officials, the Flying Cavalry led by Wei Rui was in a frequent state, and the sergeant fainted and spoke in a low voice...... These things born in the flying cavalry formation are very small, so small that they can't even pursue or can't hold down specific sergeants at all, but in this specific southern suburbs sacrifice ceremony, such a small problem is infinitely magnified.

The emperor, empress, and hundreds of officials didn't care about the sergeant's fault, they only knew and only needed to know that Wan Cai was led by Wei Bo, and the flying horse was led by Wei Rui. In the eyes of everyone, this review in front of them is the best test of the ability of the two to command the army.

Webb won the game.

For Tang Cheng, the planner of the little tricks in this review, he didn't want to see Wei Rui deflated. Of course, he didn't mind this effect, and his main purpose was to strengthen Wei Bo, so that he would be convinced that everything he did was not wrong. And since then, he has unswervingly persevered.

It should be said that after so much foreshadowing and taking advantage of the trend in the current proofreading, Tang Cheng's purpose was achieved very well.

The proofreading did not last long, and in February, the results of the Ministry of Rites and Rites were officially announced outside the Chengtian Gate at the junction of the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace, and a total of 131 people were selected in the scientific examination including arithmetic and law, including 23 people in the Jinshi Section. On the most high-profile Jinshi Gold List, the name of Gongsheng Tang Cheng of Shannan Dongdao Township ranked twenty-second.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no distinction between the first and second in the imperial examinations, and the names of all the people who took the middle were arranged from front to back, and the higher the name, the better their results in the scientific examination, and the higher the officially recognized talent. From this background, Tang Chengcheng was taken to the bottom with the penultimate result.

As soon as the gold list opened, a large piece of sadness also achieved a small number of people's carnival, Junma Kua Street, the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda, the Xinglin Guan Banquet, the Qujiang Drink, the selection of flowers to visit the famous garden in Beijing, etc., etc., the new Jinshi were extremely lively and devoted to the many carnivals under the attention of the city, as one of the new Jinshi, Tang Cheng naturally participated in everything. It's just that his ranking is too low, and he really doesn't have any chance to be in the limelight.

on this. Tang Cheng laughed at it, speaking of his experience in two lives and his current state of mind. These vanity glitzes are no longer so important.

After the noisy tossing and turning of the Zhongjin Shi, Tang Chengcheng began to arrange the placement of Guan Qianyu and others into the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army. Strict military law and spy rule are the most effective ways to firmly control the Ten Thousand Cavalry in the short term, as far as the consequences of doing so are concerned. This is exactly what Tang Cheng needs rather than worrying about.

After busy arranging this matter, Tang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he participated in the customs examination organized by the Ministry of Officials, after the imperial examination, the new branch of the Jinshi needed to participate in the official examination to be awarded, this was the practice at the time, the Guan Examination sentenced the four levels of Tang Cheng one by one, the Tang Dynasty new Jinshi was awarded the highest official for the first time can only be eight grades, Tang Cheng is no exception in this section, but because of Wei Bo's involvement, Tang Cheng was not like many of the same science and entry scholars to the local county as a county or county lieutenant, Instead, he inexplicably made a master book of ordnance supervisors, but this is also in the name of receiving a salary, and Tang Ben himself is still borrowed by the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army.

The long-awaited imperial examination finally had a result, but Tang Cheng was not as excited as he expected before coming to Chang'an. "Finally an official", in addition to sighing to himself, Tang Cheng is not satisfied with this official position itself, anyway, no matter what official position he is given in Beijing now, it is just a flash in the pan, so why care?

If you want to talk about the difference in Tang Cheng's life during this period of time, it can't be mentioned that he now has at least eight guards with him wherever he goes, and there is no rule to follow when he sleeps at night, not to mention Xiaoyu and Shuangcheng, even Tang Cheng himself didn't know where he would rest that night after he got up in the morning.

The reason for this frequent change of residence is that he has been assassinated twice in less than two months, and now he has no regularity to follow as a means of coping with assassinations.

If there is a gain, there is destined to be a pay, this world is very fair, and Tang Cheng does not treat him differently just because he is a traverser.

The day after the first assassination, seven of Wei Rui's personal guards were ambushed by the Burrow, killing five and seriously wounding; After Tang Cheng suffered the second assassination, Ke Changming and other henchmen who were placed in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army by Wei Rui on the same day all died violently in two days, compared to the assassination and game in secret, on the surface, the two brothers Wei Bo and Wei Rui were almost to the point of incompatibility, and in the end, it was still Empress Wei who came forward to suppress the two of them, although the bloody assassination in the dark night temporarily subsided, but Tang Cheng no longer dared to sleep in a place, or even began to have nightmares when he slept every night.

Chang'an was calm in April, and the storm of the palace change took shape after this brief lull, and in May and June it exploded into a massive earthquake that shook the world.

The gale began at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the first earthquake in the Tang Dynasty in this year was caused by a little-known magistrate - Sima Yan Qinrong of Xuzhou, who borrowed the opportunity to go to Beijing to transfer to see His Majesty the Son of Heaven and boldly said: "The queen **." interfering in national affairs, and the clan is strong; Princess Anle, Wu Yanxiu, and Zong Chu Ketu Wei Zongshe", this situation sued Queen Wei, Princess Anle, the concubine, and the prime minister. And the crime is still such a serious crime as **harem and conspiracy against Sheji, the Son of Heaven doesn't care too much about rebellion, but what makes him most uncomfortable is that even the local governor already knows about the ugly affairs of the palace like the queen**.

Fang Jinzi didn't mind being cuckolded, but he didn't want others to know that he was cuckolding, and it was proposed by the local officials in the palace of Miyagi, so he was really furious when he heard Yan Qinrong's words. However, this Yan Qinrong is also a strong point, in the face of the fierce interrogation of the Son of Heaven, he still insisted on the plaintiff with righteousness and awe, so that the emperor could not come to the stage.

Rao is like this, but the Son of Heaven, who is weak by nature, adheres to the ancestral precepts and does not kill the ministers. Silently, he waved his hand and let Yan Qinrong go. However, what the emperor did not expect was that as soon as Yan Qinrong came out of the hall, he was rushed by Empress Wei's cronies who heard the news, and when the prime minister Zong Chuke made people kill in front of the palace.

The courtiers he personally released were killed by the empress's cronies as soon as they left the palace, and the emperor, who had already been holding back the fire from the green hat incident, could no longer hold back it, and expressed unusual anger at Empress Wei for the first time in decades since he became a family.

At that time, Empress Wei was in a hot relationship with the two new men who were in love with Ma Qinke and Yang Jun, the Shaoqing of Guanglu, and the news that Zhongzong was furious because of Yan Qinrong's affair came out, not only Empress Wei was worried. Her two faces were even more frightened, and her face was bloodless, for fear that her affair with the queen would be revealed.

Use this as a fuse. Ingredient by Ma Qinke, who is good at medicine, and Yang Jun, who is good at cooking, personally cooked and made Fang Jinzi's favorite soup cake. In the end, the bowl of soup cakes was personally presented to her father by Princess Anle.

The Son of Heaven did not doubt that it took the soup cake and ate it, but it didn't take long after eating it to get abdominal pain. The seven orifices were bleeding, and when Empress Wei's "frightened news" came. The emperor was already choked up, and finally saw his wife and daughter cry and die of tears.

On that day, the Son of Heaven collapsed!

After the collapse of the Son of Heaven, Empress Wei first blocked the news, and issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven to urgently transfer 50,000 local government soldiers to Beijing to guard; another henchman Pei Tan and Zhang Xi were sent to Luoyang to stabilize and control the situation in the eastern capital; In addition, 500 soldiers were drawn from the flying cavalry to Junzhou to see Li Chongfu, the eldest of the emperor's two sons; Subsequently, in the court, Zhang Jiafu, the secretary of the ministry, and Cen Xi, the secretary of the middle school, were promoted to the main political hall.

After the above arrangements were properly arranged, Wei Houfang officially announced that the Son of Heaven had died of illness, and according to Shangguan Wan'er's personal plan to "Edict of the Son of Heaven" on the spot, Li Chongfu, the eldest son of the emperor at the age of 31, was appointed as the emperor at the age of 16, and the Yuan Tang Long was changed. And in this edict of the Son of Heaven, the most important sentence is that Empress Wei is the emperor of the queen of heaven.

Throughout this whole process, Empress Wei's arrangement after the death of Emperor Zhongzong and her mother-in-law Wu Zetian after the death of Gaozong are almost exactly the same, and their real thoughts are already known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, and in the face of this series of déjà vu arrangements, the well-informed people of Chang'an have begun to guess how long Empress Wei can endure before she deposes Li Chongmao to be the emperor herself.

It's a pity that the people of Chang'an City saw it in the past but didn't play a role this time, only a few days after Li Chongmao ascended the throne, another palace change was vigorously moved in one night.

The incident started from the Ten Thousand Cavalry Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli's Department, since Tang Cheng led the implementation of the discipline supervision of the Ten Thousand Cavalry at the beginning of the year, all the ten thousand cavalry sergeants have not been happy for a day, especially in the past month or so, Tang Cheng's gang has intensified, not only the secret spies are dense, the sergeants are often to blame, and this guy has actually begun to fire the sergeants from the army.

After the dismissal of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, these sergeants can only be official slaves again, and this has become the last straw that crushes the Ten Thousand Cavalry Sergeants, the spring is destined to rebound after being pressed to the limit, but before that, because there was no general to take the lead, a single sergeant can only barely endure due to many factors such as his family, and it will be the courage of the soldiers.

These two departments were opposed, and the rest of the departments should be reconciled, and three of them were surrounded and killed on the spot by their subordinate sergeants with a little hesitation on their faces.

As a result, the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army was divided into two divisions. The first was led by Ge Fushun to the Forbidden Garden to meet Li Longji and Liu Youqiu, and with the cooperation of Zhong Shaojing, the director of the garden, he directly entered the inner palace through the Forbidden Garden. The other part used Chen Xuanli and others to kill Wei Dang in Chang'an City. Whoever is above the whip will not be left behind.

Although Empress Wei escaped from the inner palace and avoided the flying cavalry army, when the ten thousand cavalry army arrived with Wei Rui's bloody head, the flying cavalry army, who thought that their combat strength was not good, immediately came to the battle against the water, and Empress Wei was killed in the flying cavalry barracks. Princess An Le, who was dressing up on the verge of sleep, was beheaded in front of the dresser, and almost none of the Ying Wei party escaped.

As for the 50,000 local government soldiers transferred by Empress Wei, in front of the wolf-like 10,000 horsemen and flying horses, they were as docile as kittens, and they quietly did not let a single soldier out from beginning to end.

In the midst of this night's dungeon changes. The only exception is Tang Cheng, who shouted the most against him, and the 10,000 cavalry sergeants who rummaged around looking for him were also the most, if you talked about the murderous intent of these sergeants, Tang Cheng was the first in line.

It's just that the thousands of sergeants searched tirelessly day and night, but they never found Tang Ben himself, and this person was as if he was missing, and he didn't even touch a single person in his small mansion.

It was because they couldn't find it that they had to look for it desperately, and the people of Chang'an, who were awakened by the movement outside this night, hid in the door and shivered. lest the rebels rush in; While wondering in his heart, who is this Tang Cheng? I've never heard of such a big man in the court. Why did he make such a big move?

No one would have thought that at this time, Tang Chengcheng was in a small courtyard of the Xiangwang Mansion guarded by thousands of horsemen. Silently standing in front of the window and listening to the shouts of killing that resounded throughout the city outside.

Just listening to the sound outside, you know that everything is going well for Wan Qi. However, such a smooth process did not make Tang Cheng a little happy. On the contrary, the haze in my heart is getting heavier and heavier, and the June night wind that passes through the window can't blow or blow away.

A lake satin robe was gently draped on Tang Cheng's shoulders, and after Qizhi straightened Tang Cheng's lichen, he didn't walk away, but turned around and snuggled into his arms, "Tang Cheng, what the hell have you done, so many people outside are shouting to kill you."

"I did what I thought I should do", standing with the back light, the night cast a heavy shadow on Tang Cheng's face, Rao is Qiori has been very attentive, but it is still hazy and unclear, "The shouting and killing outside is not only my achievement, but also the price I am destined to pay."

Tang Cheng didn't understand Qi Zhi's words, but she didn't ask again, but squeezed her body into Tang Cheng's arms again, "You say, will they rush in?" Or, will the people here hand you over".

Tang Cheng didn't speak, but Qizhi clearly felt his body tremble violently like a shudder, as if these two unintentional questions just stabbed a corner of his heart that scared him the most.

"Tang Cheng?".

"No", Tang Cheng in the shadow in front of the window shook his head very hard, "At least the current Li Longji won't."

She has a natural love for singing and dancing Qiori, but she has no interest in politics at all, "It's okay if it won't be", after putting her head in Tang Cheng's arms and rubbing it back and forth to make it comfortable, Nanori said vaguely: "What can you see here, you've been standing for so long, go to bed early, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

"Yes, everything is fine when you wake up", Nanori's heartless words made this room surrounded by shouts of killing a little warm, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and gently stroked her satin-like head, "Listen again, let me listen to ...... again."

When the first rays of the morning sun broke through the window and shone into the window, Chang'an, who had been tossed by blood and fire and shouting for killing all night, finally calmed down from exhaustion.

After hearing that the last shout of killing outside had also gone away, Tang Cheng, who had stood quietly in front of the window all night, finally let out a long breath. What should have come has come after all, at least at the time of the end has ended!

In the next few days, the defense of the capital was all taken over by 10,000 cavalry, and Tang Cheng had been living in the inconspicuous side courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, quietly paying attention to the situation outside.

The palace change is the palace change, the early dynasty has to be the early dynasty, the next day of the palace change, the new emperor as usual out of the early dynasty, ascended the throne and took a seat, after all the ministers who could arrive arrived, the princess Taiping who came in full costume suddenly pointed to Li Chongmao on the throne and said loudly: "The heir is ready to give way to his uncle, what do you think?" After last night's bloodshed, most of the remaining courtiers in the court are close associates of Princess Taiping, and they agreed in unison at the moment, saying that they should establish a long monarch.

Then Princess Taiping said to Li Chongmao before the throne: "The people's hearts have returned to the king, not your child's seat, come down quickly", suffered from this sudden change, the young Li Chongmaomu was at a loss, seeing this, the princess of Zhenguo Taiping had no two words, reached over and pulled the little emperor's collar and pulled him off the emperor's throne, and then Li Dan, the prime minister of Anguo, resigned three times when the palace ascended the throne and called the emperor, the little emperor Li Chongmao stood in the palace with tears in his eyes to pay homage to the new emperor, but was demoted to King Wen, and then changed to the king of Chu, Before he died, he was known as the Emperor of the Dead in history, also known as the Young Emperor.

In an early dynasty, Princess Taiping abolished the young emperor and set up a new emperor, and the scene of the palace should be harmonious in a word, which marked another political strong woman in the Tang Dynasty after Wu Zetian and Wei Shuren to the forefront of the government.

Li Dan, the prime minister of Anguo, is no different from his father Gaozong and his brother Zhongzong, who died violently for a long time, but he is affectionate but has a cowardly personality, and he does not like to deal with cumbersome court politics. Now it is not only out of gratitude, but also for the rapid stabilization of the government after the great change, after the king ascended the throne, he immediately issued an edict to the princess Taiping to counsel the political affairs, and the appointment and dismissal of officials and the formulation of government decrees and other major events are discussed between the Son of Heaven and the princess, and then handed over to the political hall to implement, and the political hall report also needs to be submitted to the Son of Heaven and the princess at the same time.

After the palace change, the prime ministers promoted by Empress Wei on the same day either died or were arrested, and the political hall was empty, and among the seven prime ministers who were newly added to the political hall, five of them were from the princess's door.

After the palace change, Li Longji was promoted to the throne as the king of Ping, and then Li Dan had the intention of establishing the prince, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty asked the prince Li Chengqi, the eldest son of the most Xiao father, to establish the most Xiao father, during which although a small number of courtiers asked the third son of the emperor Li Longji, the king of Ping, but the people spoke lightly, and the dispute between the prince of the court and the beginning of the peace has appeared.

At this time, Li Chengqi, who had the highest voice for the prince, bowed to the position of the prince and asked the third brother Li Longji. This expression of sincerity can be described as a stone to stir up a thousand waves, there are many ministers in the court insist that the prince should be the chief, Li Chengqi insisted on not accepting, and said that the national security should be the chief, and now the court is eventful, the prince should be virtuous and meritorious, Li Dan heard the words and praised the king of Song, there are many rewards, and when the third son of the palace emperor Li Longji Jin prince.

The court has been leveled, the reward for meritorious deeds has been completed, and at this point, this wave of palace changes in Chang'an has officially ended. And the next wave of new palace changes has also begun to brew quietly.

After the dust settled, Tang Cheng no longer had the slightest interest in the changes and news in the imperial city and the palace city, after the past few months, he was now deeply tired of such palace fights. Betrayal, killing, coercion, assassination, no matter what the outcome, the process is invariably dark and destructive, and it is incompatible with the change he deeply desires.

One such experience is enough, enough. Chang'an, the capital of all nations and the city of gold, it is better to go back, it is better to return!
