Chapter 594

Li Dan, his face was pale.

Wu Zetian and Li Xian appeared at the same time, which also showed that Zhang Yizhi's brother's action had failed.

He launched a mutiny this time, and all his actions were based on one basis, that is, one of Wu Zetian and Li Xian must be killed.

Can ...... now

Li Dan took a deep breath and urged the horse forward.

Along the way, wherever he went, the soldiers separated and gave way to the passage.

Although no one spoke, Li Xian clearly felt that there was a trace of hatred in the eyes of those people looking at him.

These soldiers followed him to rebel after hearing the news of Wu Zetian's murder.

Now that Wu Zetian and Li Xian are here, doesn't it mean that Li Dan is telling a lie, and they were deceived by Li Dan.

Originally, it was a rebellion from the dragon, but it turned into a rebellion.

This is a great crime of killing the head...... The soldiers knew very well that they seemed to have no way out.

So although everyone resented Li Dan, they still obeyed his dispatch.

Li Dan came to the city and raised his head to look at the city.

"The son-in-law is in armor, please forgive the mother for not giving a big salute."

Tixiangmen Palace City is six feet high, standing on the city tower, Wu Zetian has a little unrealistic Li Dan's expression. An inexplicable sadness suddenly appeared in her heart, although she couldn't see clearly, her eyes were always on Li Dan's face, and she refused to move half a minute.

The atmosphere became a little oppressive.

Wu Zetian didn't speak, and Li Dan didn't speak.

The mother and son looked at each other quietly, and a flash of crystal tears suddenly flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes.

What else to say? And what can you say?

At this point, it's useless to say anything, you can only live or die.

"Prince, do you know?"

Wu Zetian suddenly turned around, looked at Li Xian and said: "I actually regret it a little, if I had left you by my side and let King Xiang go to Luling, the result might have been much better." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Li Xiannuo answered, but didn't know what to say.

Wu Zetian nodded at him and said, "In terms of talent, the prime minister is too strong for you."

He is more forbearant than you, and he knows how to buy people's hearts. In this regard, you are far inferior to him, but the only thing is that I made up my mind to make you the crown prince after listening to Di Gong's persuasion. Do you know what it is? ”

"Sometimes, sons and daughters will be indecisive."

"Hehe, it's not indecisive, it's just that you will miss the old and the brotherhood.

With your temperament, it is indispensable to keep it, but it is not enough to expand your territory and be a heavenly khan. Therefore, I hope that in the future, when you ascend the throne, you will be more courageous and learn from your brother...... This country has not prospered in my hands, but I hope that it will truly flourish in your hands. ”

When Li Xian heard this, he was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Mother, how can you say that?"

Wu Zetian didn't answer again, but turned around and looked at the rebels under the city tower.

"There is no great fault in being deceived by others.

Now lay down your weapons and return to your camp at once. Today, I only pursue the first evil, and the follower is not guilty. ”

has been in charge of the world for more than ten years, Wu Zetian may not be loved by those noble families and princes and ministers, but among the people, he has great prestige. The soldiers believed in Wu Zetian's words. Originally, they were thinking about whether to continue to resist, but when Wu Zetian's words fell, they heard the sound of clanging bells, and the soldiers dropped their weapons one after another.

Thousands of soldiers and horses couldn't even resist Wu Zetian's words......

Li Dan's heart had sunk to the bottom, but he still sat upright on the horse, standing still.

"King Xiang, go back."

Wu Zetian's voice carried a strong sense of exhaustion.

When Li Dan heard this, his heart trembled.

He dismounted silently, and behind him, Li Longji and the others also dismounted and knelt on the ground.

Li Dan prostrate on the ground, bowed to Wu Zetian on the gatehouse, and then got up and said, "Mother, my son is back!" ”

With just this sentence, Wu Zetian's tears flowed out.

How long has it been since you cried?

Wu Zetian doesn't remember it very clearly...... She only remembered that after ascending the throne, she had only cried three times in more than ten years.

And the most recent one was on the day of Di Gong's death.

"Mother, can you ......?"

"Shut up!"

Wu Zetian had tears on his face, but he shouted loudly, interrupting Li Xian's words.

"Prince, you have to remember that after you ascend the throne of the Ninety-Five, you must not have the kindness of a woman again.

I give you this country in the hope that you can prosper. Since King Xiang has done something wrong, he must be punished. The state has its own laws, and how can it be ignored because of family affection...... At this point, King Xiang is really more courageous than you. ”

Yang Shouwen and the young lady were behind Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian and Li Xian were talking in a loud voice, but the two of them could hear it clearly.

After Wu Zetian said those words, both of them couldn't help but shudder and looked at each other silently......

People say that there is no family affection in the emperor's family, and it is true!

Since you were born in the emperor's family, you must learn the rules inside.

They all know that Li Dan is finished!

Wu Zetian would not let Li Dan go, the reason why he was allowed to go back, to put it bluntly, was to leave a decent one for Li Dan and let him commit suicide. And Li Dan obviously knew Wu Zetian's thoughts, and he didn't even beg for mercy. Because he also knew that at this time, it was useless for him to beg for mercy. What kind of personality is a mother? Li Dan has always been by Wu Zetian's side, how can he not know?

"Father, wait for me!"

When Li Longji saw Li Dan leaving, he also stood up.

"Saburo, stay."

"No!"

Li Longji had a determined look on his face, and said softly: "The father is leaving, how can the child not be by his side?" What's the point of leaving the father alone and the child alone? If we walk together as a family, my father will not feel lonely. ”

If Li Longji stays, he may be able to get Wu Zetian's forgiveness.

This is also what Li Xian originally thought......

However, after Li Longji said this, he actually laughed.

"Well, let's go...... Although I did not ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five, I did raise a group of good children.

Let's go, let's go on the road together, and we can be happy and not lonely. ”

"Hmm!"

Li Longji nodded vigorously and smiled as well.

Behind them, Wang Maozhong, Ge Fushun and others also got up, followed behind the two, and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Yang Shouwen saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In terms of means, Li Dan is indeed a masterpiece, and it is by no means comparable to Li Xian.

He can make his children willingly follow him to death, and he can make Wang Maozhong and other servants never abandon him......

It is no wonder that after Li Longji ascended the throne, he was able to create a prosperous era of Kaiyuan.

This Li Dan is really a hero!

However, Li Dan is dead, Li Longji is also dead, and the future Tang Ming Emperor will not appear again, so will the 'Kaiyuan Prosperous Era' come?

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.

He subconsciously looked at Li Xian, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that Li Xian could do it.

God knows if there will be a prosperous era of Kaiyuan, Yang Shouwen has a trace of fear and expectation in his heart. Because he sensed that a prosperous dynasty that may not exist in history was coming. How can he testify?

"I'm tired!"

Wu Zetian suddenly spoke, turned around and left.

"Qingzhi and the young lady stayed, and stayed in the Yang Palace.

The prince led the hundred officials to deal with the beginning and the end, don't disturb the people of Luoyang. ”

"The retainers (ministers) obey orders!"

That night, a raging fire broke out in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

King Li Dan and his children and servants, a total of 148 people, all died in the fire......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Time passes, time flies!

In a flash, it has been four years of Shenlong.

At the end of the third year of Chang'an, Wu Zetian officially abdicated and returned to power with the crown prince Li Xian.

After Li Xian ascended the throne, he changed his name to Shenlong.

Perhaps because he was worried that Wu Zetian would be stimulated, Li Xian did not immediately change the country name in the first year of his ascension to the throne. However, he still did one thing, that is, he moved the capital from Luoyang back to Chang'an. However, Wu Zetian did not accompany him, but stayed in Luoyang, moved out of the palace, lived in Shangyang Palace, and lived in a simple place ever since.

Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping also stayed behind to accompany Wu Zetian.

In the second year of Shenlong, that is, in 705 AD, Li Xian, who had been on the throne for a year, officially changed the country name back to 'Tang' after consulting Wu Zetian, but did not change the year name. In the same year, after a year of planning, Li Xianzai issued an order to have a big battle with Tubo in Shazhou, known as the 'Battle of Mingsha'.

However, unlike the battle of Mingsha in history, the person who presided over the battle of Mingsha this time was Yang Chenglie, the capital of Beiting.

The two sides mobilized nearly 150,000 horses, and the war lasted for more than half a year.

In the end, with his strong national strength, Yang Chenglie defeated Tubo with an army of 50,000 and invaded the Great and Small Bolu.

The Tubo Zampu crossbow was defeated miserably, and had to send someone to ask for surrender.

The Battle of Mingsha also completely reversed the situation that the Tang Army had been on the defensive since the time of Wu Zetian, and turned to expand outward.

At the same time, it was this battle that made Li Xian's throne completely stable.

Shenlong for four years, stunned.

Wu Zetian, who had not appeared for many years, suddenly left Shangyang Palace and came to Chang'an accompanied by Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping. Today's Wu Zetian looks much older. She has not been in good health since last year, and after this year, it seems to have gotten worse.

In early spring, it rained lightly.

Wu Zetian, accompanied by everyone, came to the Baqiao.

The willows are green and the breeze is soft.

She sat on top of the phoenix, looking slightly anxious.

"Wan'er, Qingzhi, are they really here today?"

"They arrived in Xin'an yesterday...... At their speed, it's coming soon. ”

"It's been three years!"

Wu Zetian suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.

"These little guys, it's been three whole years since they left.

I really miss them a little...... Thankfully, they finally came back before my old woman died......"

Three years ago, that is, the first year of Shenlong.

Yang Shouwen officially married Bao'er.

However, not long after he and Bao'er got married, Wu Zetian personally issued an order to accept the young lady as his granddaughter and marry Yang Shouwen.

Soon after the three got married, they left Luoyang.

Yang Shouwen is reluctant to be an official, and Bao'er and the young lady follow his temperament.

After they left Luoyang, they traveled around, and at the beginning of the second year of Shenlong, when the monsoon rose, they went out to sea by boat and went straight to Java. After that, they met Mingxiu in Java and marched westward to the Lion Country, where they participated in a series of battles for the founding of the Ming Clan. Until the end of the third year of Shenlong, the Ming clan sent people to Luoyang and officially submitted the credentials, imploring to be a subject state of the Tang Dynasty.

When Wu Zetian learned the news, he was overjoyed.

I heard that Yang Shouwen and they were about to return, so they left Shangyang Palace and came to Chang'an.

By midday, the rain had stopped.

The sun is showing up again.

At the end of the official road, a team of people appeared.

Shangguan Wan'er was the first to find out, and shouted in surprise: "Queen Mother, they are here!" ”

Wu Zetian suddenly cheered up, let Princess Taiping support her, walked down from the phoenix, and looked over.

A group of men and horses walked slowly.

Suddenly, a few horses rushed out of the crowd, led by the Divine Horse Sweat and Blood Horse, which was officially golden.

In the sky, the big jade spreads its wings and soars.

The four-headed mastiff followed the horse, barking non-stop all the way.

Yang Shouwen galloped on horseback, and behind him, the young lady was holding a swaddling baby in her arms, riding on a horse, and closely following behind Yang Shouwen. Behind them, Bao'er stood in the car, holding a young child carved in one hand.

Seeing Wu Zetian, Bao'er shouted excitedly: "Imperial grandmother, we are back!" ”

Seeing this scene, Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing, and a tear flashed in the corner of his eyes......
