Chapter 172: The Female Prime Minister was killed in a coup d'état!
Wu Sansi didn't expect that the prince who was despised by himself was bloody, and he was caught off guard, and the two were killed. Li Chongjun rushed to the palace, and the guards were paralyzed. Shun lì into the palace. If there is accurate information and you know where Empress Wei and Princess An Le are, you will definitely succeed. It's a pity that it has been out of favor for too long. They couldn't find a place to live, and they lost precious time.
The first person in the palace to realize that something was wrong was Shangguan Wan'er. She knew it was the prince who was causing trouble. She knows the dangers immensely. The prince has always regarded her as an enemy. She wants to seize this opportunity to save herself. What steps did she take? Out of danger?
During the Wu'er period, Shangguan Wan'er relied on her talent and loyalty to become Wu'er's most trusted chief secretary. After Wu'er's death, although there was a transfer of imperial power, Shangguan Wan'er stood tall, and Nong Ran was a figure in the political arena. Shui Xue's smart Shangguan Wan'er can be said to be left and right in the center of the whirlpool of power, and she finally met a tough opponent, it was this tough opponent who put her in brotherhood, who is this opponent of Shangguan Wan'er?
In the seventh month of the old calendar in 707, men and horses rushed into the palace, and there was chaos. The palace is in a state of chaos. No one figured out what was going on. Only Shangguan Wan'er was keenly aware that it was the prince who was causing trouble. She reacted quickly. The failure of this coup d'état was due precisely to her reaction. Li Xian heard that there was trouble, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. Shangguan Wan'er shouted, judging by her intention to ask for Wan'er first, then the queen, and then the emperor.
Shangguan Wan'er escorted Empress Li Xianwei and Princess Anle to take refuge in the Xuanwu Gate Tower. After running here, Shangguan Wan'er summoned the forbidden army to escort her.
Li Chongjun didn't know where Queen Wei and Princess An Le were. East and West collide. Lost. Time was wasted.
The Forbidden Army gathered 3,000 men, almost ten times the number of the rebels. Lee Chongjun's defeat is ironclad. He stood at the bottom of the castle tower and found that everything he was looking for was here. He was waiting for Li Xian to talk to him. This move can be seen that his goal is really not to overthrow Li Xian, but to clear the king's side. He was so naïve. What should I do after clearing the Jun's side? Can Li Xian spare you? The goal of this man's actions is unclear.
Yang Simiao, who was next to Li Xian, was a eunuch with strong martial arts, and when he found that the general of the rebel vanguard was distracted, he asked to challenge. The general was cut down with a single sword, and the rebels were frustrated.
Li Xian began to shout, at the rebel soldiers below. Why do you want to make trouble? Those who can fight back can guarantee prosperity and wealth. There were more and more Janissaries. The defeat of the rebels was inevitable. Everyone has a small abacus in their hearts. The rebels' hearts were scattered. killed several generals on the spot, and Li Chongjun saw that the general trend had gone. Turning the horse's head and running out of the palace, he went straight to Zhongnan Mountain. At first, there were more than 100 people following. In the end, there were only a few left. Lee Chongjun came to the bottom of the mountain. Feeling tired. Resting against a tree, one of his subordinates took advantage of his defenselessness and slashed him to death. Went to turn himself in.
Li Xian ordered his head to be cut off and placed in front of Wu Sansi's grave for sacrifice. It can be seen who Li Xian is. This man's life is just out of tune. After this incident, Tang's political arena entered a new darkness. Empress Wei and Shangguan Wan'er intensified their efforts and wanted to become the second Wu'er.
Although Cha Chongjun's coup failed, Shangguan Wan'er did not have any losses, she was no different from before on the surface, but her heart was actually deeply shocked, because she almost died under the knife of the chaotic army, and learned from the pain, Shangguan Wan'er began to think about her future way out, so, what will Shangguan Wan'er do at this time?
Shangguan Wan'er was reflecting on her original focus on fulfilling Wu'er's last wish. Now I suddenly find that my faction has gone too far. The Lee Chongjun incident made her reflect on what she had done. She remembered what Wang Yu had said.
Wang Yu is her aunt's son. Wang Yu had the right idea, and he could see that Wu Sansi and Empress Wei were not the same thing. He once found his aunt Zheng and told her that the heavens are indispensable, and Wu Sansi has two ambitions. The Wu clan cannot be revived. Don't turn back the clock on history. The mandate of heaven cannot be violated. Should part ways with the samurai. Wu Sansi is ambitious. Wang Yu wants to persuade his cousin to get lost.
At first, when she heard her mother relay, Shangguan Wan'er felt that her cousin was worrying. She didn't see any danger then. Now it shook her heart greatly. She began to keep a proper distance from Empress Wei. "Make friends with Princess Anle", there are signs of parting ways. Soon, Shangguan Wan'er was thrown into a huge whirlpool and could not extricate herself. Li Xian was killed. Li Chongjun's incident made Shangguan Wan'er reflect, but it made Empress Wei and Princess Anle even worse. They stepped up their efforts to seize power, and at this time, the only obstacle in their way was Li Xian himself.
So Princess Anle killed Li Xian. These two women are ruthless. Although Li Xian is not a good emperor, strictly speaking, he can be regarded as a qualified husband and father. is very fond of Queen Wei and Princess Anle. The result is how Princess Anle can do it. This matter is not only because of the corrupt quality of Queen Wei and Princess Anle, but also because of the ruthlessness learned from Wu'er. Wu'er's own sons killed two. They are learning martial arts, with this kind of ruthlessness, do they have her ability? Definitely not.
They really dared to do it, and in 710, Li Xian died violently. Whether Li Xian was poisoned or not is doubtful in history. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty did not live much, and some people thought that it was a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. But public opinion is there, and they can't escape it. Began to be secretive. News keeps leaking. Empress Wei sent troops to control Luoyang, Chang'an, and prepared to appoint Li Chongmao as emperor. It is estimated that it is because of the role of public opinion that they dare not immediately establish Princess Anle. Find someone to make the transition.
Wu'er also has this. Until 50,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized in the capital, Shangguan Wan'er wanted to keep a distance from Empress Wei. In the course of the discussion, it is necessary to appoint Li Dan as an auxiliary minister and staff on political affairs. Shangguan Wan'er even wrote an edict in Li Xian's tone. This matter was blocked by Empress Wei and her dead friends. Li Chongmao is a teenager. Xiangwang is rooted and red. Queen Wei didn't do anything with her friends, "my sister-in-law didn't get through", and found such a ridiculous reason. Shangguan Wan'er paid attention, and the draft of the edict was left. Shangguan Wan'er was thinking that if there were changes in the future, maybe it would be useful to her.
Bingxue's smart Shangguan Wan'er had already realized that she might be in big trouble, so she had left a way out for herself, but she didn't expect that her opponent was a person with ruthless determination and keen insight, so who was her opponent? The opponent is Li Longji.
Li Longji is the son of Ruizong and the grandson of Wu'er. He doesn't have a good feeling about women in power. The first is to hold the orthodox opinion. The second is the combination of national hatred and family hatred. Although Wu'er is Li Longji's grandmother, she is also an enemy of killing her mother. Her mother was Dou, and someone framed her for cursing Wu'er, and Wu'er was angry and summoned into the palace and killed her. Dou died a horrible death, and his body was thrown into a mass grave after his death.
Li Longji has no mother since he was a child, and he has no good impression of the Wu regime. At this time, Li Longji grew up, and he saw and hated Empress Wei and others in his eyes. In his early years, he maintained good relations with the military. Especially the soldiers of the forbidden army. Empress Wei wanted to control the forbidden army and sent her cronies to be generals, and they whipped the soldiers in the forbidden army barracks, and the soldiers were miserable. Li Longji instigated them, and soon gathered a group of die-hard friends. Without further ado. Li Longji is about to make a move. Li Longji said that if the matter is done, the credit will go to the prime minister, and if it is not successful, the blame will be attributed to himself. The fact should be that he knows his father's nature. Together with his aunt staged a coup d'état.
After careful preparations, Che Muji decided to launch a coup d'état, eradicate the women's group represented by Empress Wei, Princess An Le, and Shangguan Wan'er, and put an end to the situation of women in power since Wu'er.
Li Longji acted, changed into civilian clothes before starting, sneaked into the forbidden courtyard, approached the Xuanwu Gate, prepared to wait here until dark, and a few generals slipped out of the palace late at night, came to Li Longji, and asked for the password to act that night. That night, the sky was fine, and Li Longji ordered the start of the operation. The putschists marched into the barracks and killed several of the generals. The soldiers were shocked. Sinners will be put to death tonight. Martial Arts. Go straight to the residence of Empress Wei and Princess An Le. The soldiers guarding the coffin also joined the coup ranks. Soon found a place to live. Princess Anle is (To be continued......)
