Chapter 1479: The Royal Mystery (1)

After the death of the mother-in-law, the group of monks made persistent efforts to protect her daughter Princess Taiping, but they didn't expect the rumors to be true.

It is estimated that it was these eighty-one old monks who were presiding over the King Kong Immortal Trapped Demon Array, and they tortured me for a long time. Just as he was about to argue with them angrily, suddenly there was a noise in the distance, and it seemed that the door of the Fengluan Hall was wide open, and a sharp order came in one after another, full of solemn majesty.

"Your Majesty has arrived, kneeling in front of the palace of civil and military officials!"

"Your Majesty has arrived, the world will be amnesty, and the sinners will quickly bow their hands and kneel to greet them!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Tang Xuanzong, also known as Tang Ming Emperor, was the third son of Tang Ruizong Li Dan. He just succeeded to the throne last year.

According to folk legend, Li Longji was born when Wu Zetian was going to be the empress, so he experienced complicated court changes when he was a child, which may have prompted him to form a strong-willed character. He was very ambitious when he was a child, and he called himself 'Ah Secret' in the palace, although he was not valued by the Wu clan in power, he was still very assertive in his words and deeds.

When he was seven years old, a sacrificial ceremony was held in the court, and the then general Jinwu (the general in charge of the guards of the capital) Wu Yizong loudly reprimanded the attendants, Li Longji immediately glared angrily and shouted: "This is the court of my Li family, what are you doing?!" How dare you reprimand my knight guard like this! ”

It made Wu Yizong look at this kid dumbfounded. After Wu Zetian learned about it, not only did he not blame Li Longji, but he liked this young grandson of Xiao Zhigao. In the second year, Li Longji was named the king of Linzi County.

After the death of his grandmother Wu Zetian, Zhongzong was cowardly and incompetent, and as a result, the power of the court fell into the hands of Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and the prime minister Zhang Khan Zhi, who originally launched a coup d'Γ©tat to restore the Tang Dynasty, was also demoted and expelled by them, and the crown prince Li Chongjun was killed. Empress Wei followed the original Wu Zetian's approach, let her brother Wei Wen take power, and did not stop her daughter Princess Anle's illegal betrayal of the official beard, and connived at it. In 710 AD, Zhongzong finally died at the hands of Empress Wei and Princess An Le, who conspired to poison him. Then, Empress Wei wanted to learn from her mother-in-law Wu Zetian and become the second empress.

Without waiting for Empress Wei to make a move, Li Longji and his aunt Princess Taiping, who had been quietly watching the changes, took the lead in launching a mutiny, leading more than 10,000 people of the Imperial Forest Army to capture the palace and wipe out all Empress Wei's faction. Then, Ruizong Li Dan re-ascended the throne, and Li Longji was also made the crown prince for his merits.

But his father Li Dan was also a weak emperor like Zhongzong, and he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Princess Taiping, so he always tolerated it. Princess Taiping thought that she had given him the opportunity to be the emperor, and the credit was huge, so she mastered the power of the court. With the strength of her own power, Princess Taiping's ambition has also swelled, and she wants to be an empress like her mother.

Princess Taiping's main opponent was the crown prince Li Longji, at first she didn't take him seriously, thinking that he was still young, but later after learning about Li Longji's bravery and decisiveness, she began to guard against him. She created public opinion that Li Longji was not the eldest son, and he was not qualified to be the crown prince, let alone inherit the throne. Someone in the market said that Princess Taiping's purpose was to abolish Li Longji's status as a prince and open the way for herself to become a female emperor in the future.

Until last year, Ruizong was tired of being an emperor and gave up the throne to his son Li Longji, but Princess Taiping still held the power of the court, the appointment and dismissal of officials above the third rank of the imperial court, and the right to decide on major military and political affairs. Ruizong's abdication exacerbated the conflict between Li Longji and Princess Taiping. It seems that both sides are gathering strength and preparing to get rid of the other.

Interesting, the first princess in the world, and the first powerful person in the world are gathered in this small Fengluan Palace, won't they all come for this handsome guy and me?

However, in my opinion, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue is indeed a famous figure today, not only because she is the daughter of the only empress Wu Zetian in history, but also looking at the current situation, it is really almost possible to become 'Wu Zetian's second'.

This princess is said to be pure and well-behaved when she was a child, but since marrying Xue Shao, the son of Princess Chengyang, the first swordsman of the Tang Dynasty, her life has not become peaceful, as if her veins are full of her extremely restless mother's blood, and she has become uneasy.

Of course, some people say that she has been arrogant and indulgent since she was a child, and when she grew up and married, she became fierce and vicious, ambitiously coveting the high throne, and dreaming of ascending to the throne like her mother and ruling the world. But who knows? As one philosopher once said, history often repeats itself in astonishing copies, but if the first time it is a comedy, the second time it ends in tragedy. Although Princess Taiping has no lack of scheming and talent, and now, her power can indeed make her proud of the Tang Dynasty, at least the real Ninety-Five Supreme.

And her first husband Xue Shao, and the marriage of this Taiping princess only lasted 7 years, and then he was falsely accused of conspiring with Li Chong, the king of Langya of the Tang Dynasty, against Wu Zetian, for some reason, and was sentenced to death. A few months after Princess Taiping returned to the palace, she hurriedly married Wu Youji. Wu Zetian officially ascended the throne two months after Princess Taiping's second marriage, and Princess Taiping avoided danger by becoming the daughter-in-law of the Wu family.

I have to say that this woman is indeed smart and scheming to the point of being frightening.

Everyone knelt down, except Princess Taiping. She still sat lazily in the chair, waving her hand, and a group of guards carried the golden coffin into the side hall. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji walked into the warm hall of the guests under the support of a large number of guards in the noise layer after layer. The two guards on the left and right were wearing black and white clothes, and they couldn't see the depth of their skills. They stood on either side a foot behind the Emperor, looking warily.

He looked around, looked at Princess Taiping with bright eyes without blinking, and said in a calm voice: "I passed by the Fengluan Hall because of something, and I heard an unusually noisy inside. I was afraid that my aunt would be in any danger, so I came in and had a look. It seems that something is really happening. ”

Princess Ping'an stood up and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty came just in time." ”

She pointed at me, "That man, the number one hunter in the world." He stabbed the mourning family, and the mourning family dealt with the family affairs a little, which was not a big noise, right? ”

Tang Xuanzong laughed: "Of course, if it is my aunt's own business, I will naturally not care." But such a major event as murder and assassination, no matter who kills, as long as it is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, it should be immediately sent to Dali Temple for processing.
