Yang Siqiao stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited, and when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "How are you?" There was a clear worry between the eyebrows.

Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to smile bitterly, but in the end he only sighed and said, "Did Empress Wei find it?" ”

"Nope." Yang Si said, "But there is one thing, you will definitely be happy when you hear it." ”

"......" Xiao Jiangyuan went with him, "You say." ”

"As soon as the soldiers of Empress Wei heard that Empress Wei had killed the first emperor, many people abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. On the side of the Taiji Palace, the soldiers guarding the Emperor Zi Palace were even happier, and when they saw the ten thousand horses flying on horseback, they didn't even move their knives, and they only asked the reason, so they joined in without saying a word. This Empress Wei and the Wei family are really unpopular, they deserve it! ”

Xiao Jiangyuan looked up at the sky: "It's only been an hour now, and General Ge and they have already beaten the Taiji Palace...... It seems that at about the third watch, the armies will be able to meet in front of the Lingyan Pavilion. ”

"So are we going to continue to look for Empress Wei now?"

Xiao Jiangyuan shook his head: "Everyone has been looking for so long, and they go to the places where Empress Wei usually stays, if there is none, it can only mean one point: she has noticed the palace change and set off to find rescuers." And no matter where she looks, I'm afraid it's all ...... Throw yourself into the net. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was not bad.

Wei Houben slept soundly in the Manna Temple. In the past ten days, she saw that Chang'an was under her control, and her heart became a little impetuous. Chang'an is as calm as Kunming Pool at night, and under the calm is full of undercurrents surging back and forth, which Empress Wei has seen, but she doesn't pay attention to it at all.

She has been blinded by desire, lost the calmness and maturity before Li Xian's death, and can only see the throne close at hand. Seeing that Li Dan was trapped by herself, Princess Taiping didn't dare to say anything, and the capital Chang'an was tightly controlled by her soldiers and horses, and the new emperor had not yet been crowned...... She felt that her opportunity had come.

Although her foundation is not stable now, and above the court, more people are loyal to her identity as the queen mother, but she still thinks that she may be able to fight once, after all, the opportunity to control everything as now is too rare, she has waited for most of her life, isn't it just such a time?

However, before she could finish her hesitation, she was about to wake up from her sweet dream.

She was dragged up by the squealing of her maid. She was very angry about this, even if there was a mutiny, would there be less since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but a few years ago, she had experienced it herself, why was she so panicked?

She has not usurped the throne, her identity is still the queen mother, whoever dares to mutiny, that is a rebel thief, everyone will be punished! There are 40,000 soldiers in the whole Taiji Palace, and after many days of garrisoning, the soldiers have already figured out the terrain of the Taiji Palace.

But he heard the maid crying, "Traitor...... The traitors said that the Queen Mother killed the first emperor and wanted to avenge the first emperor! The slave maid also heard that some government soldiers have defected! ”

Only then did Wei realize the seriousness of the matter. She walked back and forth in the Ganlu Hall twice, and immediately decided to lead the forbidden army stationed outside the Ganlu Hall to go to the Xuanwu Gate. At the beginning of Li Chongjun's coup, she also rushed to Xuanwu Gate with the first emperor, and Xuanwu Gate has its own defenders, so she can protect herself.

The traitors just want to find a reason for their rebellion, as long as she, the queen mother, ascends to the heights like the previous emperor and exposes their sinister intentions, the soldiers who originally defected will definitely change their minds for the sake of the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty and their own glory and wealth, and they will be caught off guard by killing the rebels again!

But when she led the remaining dozen or so forbidden troops to the Xuanwu Gate, she was stunned.

There was already a person standing on the Xuanwu Gate. The man was handsome, full of heroism between his eyebrows and eyes, his demeanor was magnificent, and his posture was as tall as a mountain. He was dressed in a dark red treasure flower round-necked robe, which looked extremely bright in the firelight, like blood. He smiled with the corners of his lips hooked shallowly, looking into the distance, as if reminded by the people around him, and then lowered his eyes.

In this way, he and her eyes met, and the Xuanwu Gate fell silent for a moment.

She was surprised by his presence, but she didn't know that he was even more surprised than she was. Her surprise was frightened, and his surprise was full of joy.

She immediately turned around and was about to flee, but she didn't want the forbidden soldiers she had brought with her, and they had turned their blades towards her. As soon as she was about to drink hard, she felt a chill in her neck, and in the next moment, everything in the world flew around. In the end, she could only see everyone's dusty boots, and her eyes went black, and she couldn't feel anything.

Only vague memories flowed quickly.

"My wife has been starved to death by A-Niang, but don't worry, I will definitely protect you and never let you repeat the same fate."

"You are my queen, this world should be shared with you, even if you say that you want to give the world to your father-in-law?"

"It's that I can't stand you...... I can't help this child, from now on, this child will be called 'Bao'er', so that I can remember how much I owe you. ”

"You let me die! I can't stand it anymore! I can't stand it anymore! What does A-Niang want to do?! If she wants me to die, one word is enough! Why send people again and again?! Does she want to see what I've become? Am she happy with what I'm doing now? If she wants to kill, kill it! Wasn't Li Xian also given death by her? Does she care about giving one more son? It's better for her to torture me so slowly than to break it myself! ”

"If one day, we can return to Chang'an, and I can take back everything that once belonged to me...... In this world, I will let you do whatever you want, and there will be no restrictions! ”

"Naturally, I'm still there, but I'm afraid of the queen...... No longer a deceased man. ”

"You...... Want me to die? ”

"What can I do with you?! You are my wife, the mother of my children, and my queen, I can give you anything, but this throne is not good! Do you have to make that clear? You are killing the king and rebelling, giving death, and the great sin of the three clans, do you know?! ”

"You ...... You're really worthy of me......"

It turns out that after going through this all her life, she still cares about him the most.

But she doesn't regret it. What Wu Cao can do, why can't she? This high throne, why can only men do it? This era is full of so many differences, why can't she be one of them? She suffered so much in the first half of her life and lost so much, and she finally abandoned what she cared about the most, isn't it enough?

“…… If it is someone else, it is okay, but the five sons of the king of Xiang can not be ignored, they have long lived in the palace of the king of Xiang, but live in the mansion of the five kings of Xingqingfang, the minister thinks, since the queen does not do two endlessly, why not be thorough, the five princes' mansion is also controlled? ”

"Fifty thousand soldiers naturally have to be used where they should be used, what kind of climate can those five hairy boys in their twenties become? Do you still need to use government soldiers? ”

"So...... At least get them out there......"

"They have only been idle for a few years, and they have been released for two years, and they have no achievements in political performance, and they are indifferent, how can they be so concerned about you?"

"I'm afraid they're too young......"

"Li Xianggong is afraid, since the Xiangwang Mansion is surrounded tonight, the five brothers will know about it as soon as tomorrow. In order to save their father, they were afraid that they would do something. And because they have made no achievements before, we don't know anything about their methods, are you afraid that we are not well prepared, and they will be taken by surprise, and when the time comes, they will cause chaos and miss a big thing? But you forget, it is because they are young and useless, so they have no prestige, at most they are just a fox and a fake tiger in the name of King Xiang, a child's trick, and there is no military power in their hands, and now Chang'an and King Xiang are in my hands, who dares to help them? Even if it is the princess of Zhenguo, she has to weigh it, and when she finishes weighing, the overall situation is decided. ”

She finally understood that God had given her a chance, and it was she who had buried the only chance she had.

And compared to Wu Cao, she is also more than a star and a half worse.

Wu Cao was in the Taizong period, in the harem for 12 years, and once entered the Ganye Temple as a nun, and then returned to the court only a few years later, its central ambition is strong, how can she compare? Wu Cao's thirty-year career as a queen, he once governed on behalf of Gaozong, and even called the two saints with Gaozong, and the courtiers have been obedient for many years, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are also used to looking up to such a **.

Even so, Wu Cao did not ascend to the throne immediately after Gaozong's death. She waited for another seven years, until she ascended the throne and became the emperor, and when even if someone objected, she couldn't help her, and she finally ruled the world!

At that time, Wu Cao was already sixty-seven years old.

And Empress Wei can't afford to wait. Unlike Wu Cao, she can have four biological sons to use one by one to create time for herself. She has too few opportunities and too many difficulties.

But she no longer had the energy to blame fate.

Everything about her will eventually turn into a stroke in the history books, and just a few words will determine life and death.

Even at this point, she is too much worse than Wu Cao.

The bloody scene that happened downstairs at the Xuanwu Gate was fully watched by Li Longji. Seeing that the forbidden army picked up Empress Wei's head and bowed down to him, he showed a very joyful attitude to praise and encourage, and at the same time gave them the task of telling the palace soldiers the news of Empress Wei's death and the meaning of his Li Sanlang.

Let them know that it is not too late to know that they are lost, as long as they are no longer stubborn, they can not only continue to be the government soldiers and forbidden troops of the Tang Dynasty, but also have great wealth and glory waiting for them.

If this is said by his Li Longji's people, the credibility is average, but if it is said by their own people, it is different.

Li Longji didn't know that even if he hadn't said anything, the Taiji Palace was already like this. Therefore, not long after the dozen or so forbidden troops returned to the Taiji Palace, bursts of drums sounded in the Lingyan Pavilion, Li Longji was really startled-tonight...... It's too smooth.

Could it be ...... And aftermath?

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
