The first year of Gaozong Linde of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Central Plains, there was a jubilant scene of singing and dancing.

Because the glory of the "rule of Zhenguan" is still continuing, the war of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions has also ended, and the Tang army led by Su Dingfang captured the Western Turkic Khan Ashina Helu, and the Western Turkic Khanate, which had threatened the border of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty for six years and was once strong, collapsed.

The resolution of the frontier crisis in the Western Regions led to the establishment of a total of 127 prefectures, counties, and prefectures in Central Asia, such as Shiguo, Miguo, Cao, Shiguo, Da'anguo, Xiao'anguo, Pakhana, Shule, and Zhujuban. Soon, Tocharian and Persian successively attached to the Tang Dynasty.

At this point, the territory of the Tang Empire extended from the Western Regions to Central Asia and West Asia and the Iranian Plateau.

And on the battlefield in the northeast, the Tang army under the command of Liu Renliang took the city of Jinhyeon in Baekje.

Jinhyeon Fortress was located on the main road between Silla and Baekje, and as long as it occupied this fortified fortress, it was equivalent to opening up the transportation channel between Xiongjin and Silla, and from then on, the Tang army could continuously obtain the necessary food and supplies from Silla. A new turning point occurred in the war of the Tang Dynasty against Baekje, which had already fallen into death.

The following year, Liu In-rail led the Tang Navy to defeat the Japanese Navy that had come to support Baekje, completely cutting off the dream of Silla's restoration of the country.

Suddenly, under the governance of Emperor Gaozong, the Tang Empire continuously transported troops on the eastern and western fronts to quell the rebellion and solve the frontier problem, so that the empire inherited the strong national strength and pioneering and enterprising martial spirit of the Zhenguan era, and exerted its national prestige to the incisive and exquisite.

The feats that the three generations of kings of the Sui and Tang dynasties had not completed in the past were about to be realized in the hands of Emperor Gaozong.

Therefore, the haze of unrest on the border caused by Taizong's death in the past, and the decadent atmosphere that still lingered in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty because of the defeat of Taizong's personal expedition to Goryeo, was completely washed away by this force of soldiers and killing.

However, what ordinary people don't know is that under the powerful scene of the Tang Empire's strong soldiers and great national strength, Chang'an, the capital of the empire, is shrouded in a treacherous cloud.

Because in this year, Gaozong's decision to depose the queen turned into a ridiculous farce, and in December after a short period of uproar and commotion, the young master of the crown prince and Xu Jingzong, the third rank of the Tongzhong Shumen, wrote to accuse Shangguan Yi, Wang Fusheng, and the deposed prince Li Zhong of secretly colluding and attempting rebellion. Immediately, Shangguan Yi was quickly imprisoned, and within a few days, he was beheaded together with his eldest son Shangguan Tingzhi and the eunuch Wang Fusheng, the family property was confiscated, and all the female dependents in the palace were also confiscated into the palace as maids.

And the abolished prince Li Zhong was also given to die in his own debasement, and after his death, the corpse was in the wilderness, and no one was buried.

There is also a Chinese book with a deep friendship with Shangguanyi, so that Liu Xiangdao was dismissed as prime minister and demoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. A large number of officials, such as Shangshu, Zuocheng, Zheng Qintai, etc., were also demoted or exiled, and all of them were expelled from the imperial court.

This series of great changes happened so quickly that most of the courtiers found out before they could react that in just one month, the cronies of His Majesty the Emperor in the Xuanzheng Palace had been almost eradicated, and the protagonist Empress Wu Mei in this post-abolition turmoil was unscathed, not only turned the crisis into safety, but also gained greater power due to a blessing in disguise.

From then on, there was no longer only one Emperor Gaozong in the Jinluan Palace, but also a queen mother.

At this moment, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty felt that the supreme power of the empire was gradually falling into the hands of Empress Wumei.

Naturally, every time you look at things, the curtain will be hung behind, and the government will hear it. The power of the world, all returned to the middle palace, dethroned, life and death, decided by its mouth, the Son of Heaven is just handed over, and it is called the two saints at home and abroad.

An era of "two holy pilgrimages" has begun.
