Chapter 168: The End Drifts
So, it didn't take long for Tubo to receive a brand new news from Datang. More than four months after Princess Jincheng got married, His Majesty Li Xian of the Tang Dynasty died suddenly in his own palace at the age of 55, nicknamed Emperor Zhaoxiao of the Great Sage and buried in Dingling. In the same year, Li Xian's youngest son, Li Chongmao, the former king of Wen, was canonized as emperor and changed to Tang Long. Because he was still young, his mother Empress Wei listened to the government and acted as an agent for state affairs, and the entire Tang Dynasty immediately fell into a strange calm.
"It seems that Li Xian's queen has a lot of ambitions, is she planning to take Emperor Wu as a mirror and use her woman to win the Central Plains?" looked at his casual wife caressing the piano with great interest, and a trace of exploration flashed on the handsome face of the ruler with Zhu Dan: "When you were in the Tang Palace before, was this old woman ambitious and wanted to step on you all the time?" Although Tao Yao had already expressed his attitude, he still couldn't help but want to woo her from time to time, even if it was definitely unsuccessful, it would be good to tease her.
"Didn't you inquire a long time ago and ask me what I was doing?" I didn't bother to look at this man who was by his side all day long, and Tao Yao's ten fingers twisted, evoking a refreshing and moving piano sound like flowing water: "Webster's biggest shortcoming is that he doesn't know his own catties." A woman like her great-grandmother, it is very rare to have one in this world, and with her means and strategies, she is not worthy of being compared with the Martial Emperor of the past. Although Wu Yao didn't take special care of her, and even the tragedy of her leaving home at a young age was caused by this person, Tao Yao still admired and revered such a woman who could live a frank life for herself. As for Webster, heh, the overly ambitious clown, she and Li Bao'er have always been the objects of their own despises.
"Although this woman has an average mind, she is not badly lucky." The man poured a cup of tea and put it in Tao Yao's hand, but he seemed to know what she was thinking: "First the father and son of the martial arts family were killed by the former prince, and then even the rebellious Li Chongjun himself died, she easily removed all obstacles, if it weren't for the sudden death of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid she would have been dormant for a while, right?" ”
"Sudden death...... Tao Yao's fingertips trembled slightly, and a tail note suddenly lost its level, and suddenly slipped out: "Luck is a thing, many times it is earned artificially." I don't believe God would treat anyone very favorably. ”
Although Li Xian's body is not strong, and he occasionally commits old diseases, it is inconceivable that he died so hastily. Thinking of Webster's impatience to stand in front of the stage and justifiably become the regent of the Queen Mother, needless to say, the guess in her heart has basically been finalized.
"What do you mean...... Is this Merriam-Webster's hand? "Qidai Zhudan is not a good person, let alone stupid, Tao Yao's words are enough for him to spy on all kinds of mysteries.
Lin Lang's speed is very fast, and Hongfu has already received a relevant message from Shendu, and it is said that Li Xian was poisoned. It's just that the imperial doctor said that those who died of illness died of illness, and so many people above had their own thoughts, each pinching their own handles, and who would go back to explore it. Tao Yao squinted a pair of peach blossom eyes, and became more and more lazy and idle: "Then only God knows." She was more disheartened than shocked by this. After all, she had arranged everything secretly a long time ago, but in the end, due to various stirrings in people's hearts, all the results were completely deviated. She used to be willing to believe that man will conquer the sky, but what has happened one after another over the years has made her feel that a person cannot disobey fate after all.
Just like now, even if this man is now her pillow person, even if he has always been kind to him, and even sincere...... However, she still won't say what she shouldn't say. She is the princess of the Tang Dynasty after all, and he will never be able to get rid of the identity of Tubo Zampu, so some positions are destined to be changed without bothering. Everyone knows that guarding one's own proportions is that even if you can't communicate with each other, you may be able to spend your life peacefully and peacefully, and there is nothing to complain about.
Originally, Tao Yao thought that this change would almost end here. However, more than half a month after Li Xian's death, another coup d'état took place in the Imperial City of Shendu, and this time, Wei lost all her previous good luck, not only failed to gain a foothold, but was also killed in the coup d'état with the princess Li Bao'er. The dream of a poor empress for her generation is about to begin, and she has already come to the end of Huangquan. If it doesn't belong to her, even if she exhausts her life's work, she is destined to lose it.
"This time, it was a mutiny launched by His Royal Highness King Ping and the commanders of the forbidden army, and it also played the banner of destroying the Wei family and restoring the surname Tang, isn't it His Royal Highness King Xiang!" This time, Tao Yao did not personally look at the letter from Lin Lang, but handed it to Hongfu and asked her to read it on her behalf. After so many things, she seems to be a little unhappy, but Hongfu is still as optimistic as ever: "He already commanded all the forbidden armies, and he also controlled the inside and outside of the imperial city. The new emperor was so young, as soon as Empress Wei and Princess Anle died, he no longer had the backbone, and in order to save his life, he directly asked to give way to King Xiang. From this point of view, Webster's youngest son did not get the true inheritance of his mother and sister's ruthless character, but was very weak, and admitted defeat without resistance.
"His Royal Highness King Ping, Li Longji...... "According to the identity of Li Xianyi's daughter, this man should be his brother. Tao Yao remembered that she had a few encounters with her in the Zhenguo Princess's Mansion, and she was vaguely a sunny and handsome promising young man who acted properly. Princess Taiping seems to value this nephew very much, and the two have a very close relationship, or this time, there is still the shadow of Princess Taiping behind it. Going around and around, there are always so many forces, anyway, she is really tired and numb, and she is not ready to mix anything more, just take a look.
Speaking of which, the incident she had deliberately asked Gao Xianzhi to stare at Yang Ju before was gone. In addition, if the gods are so changed, if you want to investigate it in the future, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. Or, this is God's will, what she shouldn't stop, she can't stop after all. Instead of pondering these illusory ones, it is better to sell a few more hearts and eyes in front of the ruler belt bead pill. As long as the people of the two countries are safe and worry-free, then she has nothing to be dissatisfied with. But......
"King Xiang ascended the throne and became the emperor, this is about to change the name of the year again." Suddenly, Tao Yao's eyes faintly revealed a trace of worry: "Today's Tang Dynasty is really eventful, in comparison, I miss the reign of Emperor Wu a little." ”
At the very least, the situation at that time was as stable as Mount Tai, and Tubo at that time did not have the courage to move. Now, who knows?
Obviously, Tao Yao's knowledge of the ruler belt Zhudan made her prediction successful again.
After the coup d'état of Tang Long, Li Dan, the king of the original prime minister, ascended the throne and became the emperor in the Taiji Palace, changed the Yuan Jingyun, and granted amnesty to the world. At the same time, because the third son Li Longji made great contributions to the coup, he abandoned his eldest son Li Chengqi and renamed Li Longji as the crown prince. And Princess Taiping has been more trusted and loved by this brother because of her many great helps, not only still enjoying many royal privileges and serving the guards, but also becoming more and more powerful in the court. At its peak, five of the seven prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty alone came from her disciples, and more importantly, how many of the remaining civil and military officials obeyed her orders. Under such circumstances, the relationship between Li Longji and this aunt has never returned to the intimacy when they first cooperated, but has begun to become increasingly tense.
After all, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers. A young and ambitious prince naturally can't see a powerful and famous eldest princess overshadowing her limelight, not to mention that this eldest princess aunt also had a yellow robe and a queen mother who slaughtered the Li clan several times. Once she had the heart to follow suit, his position would be in jeopardy. Who made his father Li Dan act boldly and make clear decisions, but he favored this only remaining sister, and in many cases he was vague as if he was blinded by lard, so he had to worry more about himself.
Tubo Zampu, who has always been ruthless, seized this opportunity, and took advantage of the repeated fighting between the aunt and nephew, disturbing Li Dan to have no time to take care of him, and repeatedly invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty. Coupled with the help of Yang Ju before, he got the fertile Jiuqu area, and he was often invincible in addition to being strong and strong. But in the end, he was still jealous of his wife, and every time he sent troops, he did not go deeper, and strictly ordered his generals not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, as if they were simply plundering food and property. But Tao Yao understands that it is just this man's knowledge and temptation of himself in disguise.
She doesn't like to kill, and she doesn't want to see the people suffer, so he strictly restricts his sergeants and tries to occupy the border cities of the Tang Dynasty as peacefully as possible. She reads Datang's books from time to time and cares about the dynamics of Shendu, so he uses a small fight to observe where the bottom line is that she can accept, and what she will do for her home country. It's a pity...... Tao Yao sighed deeply, but the expression on her face was a thousand kinds of helplessness.
