readx;

Xu Qing asked: "When I was not in Chang'an, did anything major happen in Chang'an?" ā€

Pei Judao replied: "Yes, Wu Zetian coerced the emperor to crown her as the queen of heaven, and the emperor called the emperor of heaven. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWu Zetian and the emperor are on an equal footing. ā€

Xu Qing knew that this would happen, so he was not surprised at all, and asked lightly, "When did this happen?" ā€

Pei Judao replied: "Just two months ago, after the Wu Jiajun returned to the dynasty from the Korean class, Wu Zetian took advantage of your absence in Chang'an and the royalist party was leaderless, and instigated her henchmen to play to the emperor that the Tang army had pacified Korea, and the four seas were subdued, and the emperor had established a great cause, saying that the emperor was no longer enough to show the greatness of the emperor, and should be called the emperor of heaven, and the queen would naturally be called the queen of heaven."

Xu Qing said: "What should have happened happened after all. ā€

Everyone looked at Xu Qing with admiration, and each thought "Xu Qing had long expected that Wu Zetian would not be satisfied with listening to the government, but would be called the queen of heaven and sit on an equal footing with the emperor."

They didn't know that Xu Qing was a person from the future world who came through time and space, and knew what major events would happen in history.

After a while, Xu Qing asked, "What's the big deal?"

Pei Judao said with a solemn face: "He Changjie and He Lanmin's capital are dead......

Xu Qing was stunned and said, "How did you die?" ā€

Pei Judao replied: "Helan Minzhi died in the first month of this year, I heard the news from the palace, Princess Taiping went to the Korean Mansion to play, Helan Minzhi molested Princess Taiping's maid, and forcibly hugged Princess Taiping, and was beaten by Princess Taiping's guards. Princess Taiping still didn't understand her hatred and told her father and queen mother. Wu Zetian revoked Helan Minzhi's surname Wu, stripped him of his title and exiled him to Lingnan. Helan Minzhi was killed during exile......"

Xu Qing interrupted: "Do you know who killed it?"

Pei Judao replied: "I don't know. ā€

Xu Qing knew that Princess Taiping sent someone to kill him, but he didn't want others to know that he knew history, so he didn't say it.

Xu Qing asked, "How did He Changjie die?" ā€

Pei Judao replied: "There was a civil strife in the Heavenly Star Sect last month, and He Changjie was killed in the civil strife."

Xu Qing asked, "Who is the mastermind of the civil strife?"

Pei Judao replied: "The mastermind is Liu Weili, the original Youzhou branch incense master of the Tianxing Sect, Gao Shan, the original Yangzhou branch incense master, and the original Chengdu branch incense master Feng Zhensheng. Although Zhu Hongyun, the incense master of the Luoyang Branch, once opposed He Changjie, he was Leng Ruohai's junior brother and cronies, and he continued to stay after He Changjie took power, so he did not participate in the rebellion. Liu, Gao, and Feng were all relieved of their positions and transferred to Chang'an as instructors after He Changjie established their identity as sect leaders at the Heavenly Star Sect Conference last year and took charge of the Heavenly Star Sect.

Dissatisfied with being demoted, they united with the people who were originally opposed to He Changjie by the head of the Heavenly Star Sect, and secretly colluded with the Black and White Sect and the Demon Gate, and also secretly colluded with the Hou Party, and launched a rebellion last month to kill He Changjie. He Changjie's newlywed wife Leng Yueru escaped under the protection of the dead soldier to report the news, He Changjie's father-in-law Leng Ruohai immediately came to me to discuss with (Yang) Sijian and (Li) Zhizhuo, we jointly sent troops to quell the rebellion, and soon quelled the civil strife of the Tianxing Sect, but the masterminds of the civil strife, Liu Weili, Gao Shan and Feng Zhensheng, escaped. ā€

Xu Qing lost his in-law and right-hand man He Changjie, and said: "Liu Weili, Gao Shan, Feng Zhensheng, I will never spare you, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will capture you and avenge my dead brother He Changjie." ā€

Yang Sizhen said: "Revenge for Brother He will be handed over to the people below, the virtuous son-in-law does not have to go out in person, Chang'an still needs the virtuous son-in-law to sit in charge, you are not in Chang'an, we are all overwhelmed by Wu Zetian, only you can compete with Wu Zetian." ā€

Xu Qingdao said: "Have you found out the whereabouts of the three chaotic parties?" ā€

Yang Sijian said: "No. ā€

Xu Qing asked: "Do you have a clue?" ā€

Yang Sizhen replied, "No." ā€

Xu Qing said dissatisfiedly: "Could it be that they have evaporated from the world?" Our power is so strong, if we can't even find these three people, how can we fight with Wu Zetian? ā€

Yang Sizhen had never seen Xu Qing angry, even though he was Xu Qing's father-in-law, he still lowered his head in front of Xu Qing's powerful momentum and said: "My subordinates are not doing things well, please ask the prince to surrender." ā€

Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, they have the support of the Black and White Sect, the Demon Sect and the Hou Party behind the scenes, and it is understandable that you can't find out their whereabouts." ā€

When Xu Qing and everyone were discussing the detailed plan of how to track down the whereabouts of Liu Weili, Gao Shan, and Feng Zhensheng, Li Zhizhuo, the temporary acting principal of the Xuanyi Military Academy, Zhao Tuozhi, who temporarily replaced He Changjie and served as the acting head of the Tianxing Sect and the treasurer of the Chang'an branch of the Datang Trading Company, Leng Ruohai, the head of the Chang'an Branch of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and Yu Junsheng, the head of Xu Qing's intelligence department in Chang'an, came to the Andong Mansion to meet Xu Qing and report on their work.

Xu Qing talked to these cronies about work and military affairs until dark. Xu Qing set up a family banquet to entertain them.

After the banquet, Xu Qing's cronies left separately. Xu Qing introduced each other to the four county lords of Yanwangfu, Li Xiang, Li Lin, Li Rui, Li Mingyue, Princess Xuancheng, Princess Yiyang, He Qiurong, Helan Minyue, Yang Zhuangruo, Mei'er, Ye Xiaodie, Xia Xiaoyu, Mei Kaifang, Junzi, and Shiye Huixiang.

That night, Xu Qing comforted He Qiurong and He Lan Minyue, who had lost their brother, and asked them to sleep together. Xu Qing promised to avenge their brother's murder for them, knowing that He Lan Minzhi was sent by Princess Taiping, who was only ten years old, to kill her, but Xu Qing planned to wait for Princess Taiping to marry Princess Taiping when she grew up, and it was impossible to kill Princess Taiping to avenge He Lan Minyue, so he said that he expected He Lan Minzhi to be killed by Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian killed his sister Mrs. Han, Helan Minzhi is the son of Mrs. Han, always thinking about revenge, Wu Zetian was worried that he was deeply favored by Li Zhi, and Helan Minzhi, who could freely enter and leave the palace, would sooner or later attack Wu Zetian, so he used Helan Minzhi to flirt with Princess Taiping's maid and forcibly hugged Princess Taiping.

Helan Minyue admires Xu Qing very much, and deeply understands Xu Qing's analysis, and feels glad that she has met a good husband, and loves Xu Qing more than in the past.

The next morning, Xu Qing and Xue Rengui, Xue Jinlian, Yang Zhuangruo, Helan Minyue, He Qiurong, and Zhao Tuozhi, the backbone members of the Xu Jiajun who had made meritorious contributions on the Korean battlefield, went to the court to receive thanks, and Li Zhi held a banquet in the palace to celebrate the meritorious service. After the banquet dispersed, Xu Qing was left alone by Li Zhi to hold secret talks with the crown prince Li Hong to discuss how to regain the lost imperial power from Wu Zetian.

Xu Qing said that the hearts of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, the hearts of the courtiers, and the hearts of the people of the world are all towards the emperor, but the royalists are generally scattered, and if they are not united, they will not become a climate. Xu Qing first became the son-in-law of King Yan, and then became the emperor's son-in-law, became an in-law with the royal family, and gained the trust of the royalists, but there is still a long way to go to become the leader of the royalists.

Dozens of sons, daughters, and sons-in-law of Emperor Taizong and dozens of sons, daughters, and sons-in-law of Emperor Gaozu, as well as hundreds of grandsons, granddaughters, grandsons, granddaughters, and grandsons-in-law, were scattered in various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, serving as military and political governors in various states and counties, and were an important force for royalists. But Xu Qing only knew one princess in the south of the city, and the other members of the royal family didn't know him.

Xu Qing wanted to ask the emperor for the official position of a minister, inspect the world for the Son of Heaven, get to know as many members of the royal family scattered outside Beijing as possible, unite them, form an alliance to protect the emperor, fight against the Empress Wu, and vow to take back the imperial power from the Empress Wu.

Li Zhi, Li Hong and his son agreed with Xu Qing's words very much and thought that they were to the point. In order to envelop Xu Qing, Li Zhi changed into a guard uniform, and personally took Xu Qing, who was also wearing a guard uniform, to Chuxiu Palace, let one hundred and eighty show girls gather, let Xu Qing choose at will, and take whoever he likes.

The show girls in Chuxiu Palace are all beauties, all of them can be called beautiful and beautiful, beautiful and delicious, and there are no less than ten stunning beauties who can be called the national color and natural fragrance and the country and the city, Xu Qing's eyes looked back and forth between the two most beautiful show girls, and he couldn't do it. Li Zhi said briskly: "If you like it, take the two of you together, don't hesitate." This place should not stay for a long time, have you chosen it? Once you've chosen, hurry up, don't be found out by that vinegar jar, I brought you here. ā€

Xu Qing pointed to the two beautiful girls and said, "If you choose it, just the two of them." ā€

Li Zhi said to all the show girls, female officials, teachers, and guards in Chuxiu Palace: "You all listen, today's incident has never happened, you haven't seen anything!" If this matter leaks out, the Empress Wu will most likely have you all executed in her rage. Everyone nodded yes.

In order to prevent Wu Zetian from persecuting the show girls of Chu Xiu Palace, Li Zhi replaced the female officials, teachers, and guards of Chu Xiu Palace with his henchmen, but he didn't dare to guarantee that Wu Zetian's eyeliner would be mixed in, so he didn't dare to set foot in Chu Xiu Palace for many years.

Seeing that the two stunning beautiful girls who were supposed to be his favorite concubines were taken away by Xu Qing, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, but this was all given to Xu Qing willingly, and he couldn't blame Xu Qing for robbing his woman, he could only blame Wu Zetian for being too vicious and let him embark on the road of confrontation with Wu Zetian.
