With Li Xian's shouting, there was a sound of neatly running footsteps from the back and sides of the Xuanwu Palace, and then several teams of right Yulin army sergeants appeared in everyone's field of vision, all the running sergeants were holding weapons in their hands, the swords were unsheathed, the bows were all open with arrows, and the winding bows and arrows pointed at Pei Yan, Wu Sansi and Cheng Wuting's left Yulin army sergeants, the number of this group of right Yulin army sergeants was more than 1,000 people, which was several times that of the left Yulin army sergeants led by Cheng Wuting.

There was a murderous aura in front of the Xuanwu Palace, and as all the right feather forest army sergeants ran into place, Li Duozuo, the general of the right feather forest army, led a few people out of the queue, came to Li Xian, and gave a salute and said: "The ministers are late to escort the car, so that Your Majesty is frightened, and the crime deserves death!"

Li Xian's hanging heart was all relaxed, and he looked at Li Duozuo with a smile: "General Li came at the right time, these bewitched courtiers did not make any unfavorable moves against me..." I will not hold you accountable!"

Wu Sansi was already frightened by the scene that happened in front of him, his face was pale, and his whole person was trembling constantly, Pei Yan, who was standing next to him, was a little better, but his face was also full of frightened looks, and his face was also ugly, this situation was something they had never dreamed of.

At this time, Cheng Wu, who led the army, ordered loudly: "All soldiers, lay down their arms, and no one is allowed to resist!"

After all the weapons in the hands of all the sergeants under his command were thrown to the ground, and they all knelt on the ground, Cheng Wuting strode forward, landed on his knees, and knelt in front of Li Xian: "The ministers were coerced, risked the world, led troops into the palace, and collided with Your Majesty, and asked Your Majesty for forgiveness..."

"General Cheng, you..."Wu Sansi looked at Cheng Wuting, who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief, his face was even paler!

"General Cheng, please get up quickly, I know that you are being coerced, it is really a helpless move, I will not hold you and the soldiers you lead the army accountable!" Li Xian personally stepped forward and picked up Cheng Wuting, "General Cheng is a fierce general, I appreciate you unusually, and please don't blame yourself..."

Cheng Wu stood up with Li Xian's support, looked at Liu Yi who was standing beside Li Xian in a military uniform with complicated eyes, and then looked at Pei Xingjian, who was standing behind Li Xian with a sickly face, didn't say anything, and retreated to the side.

Wu Sansi on the side saw this situation, and was a little desperate, shouting hysterically there, "You dare to disobey the will of the Queen Mother and gather people to make trouble... General Cheng, quickly lead your subordinates and take down these rebellious ministers and thieves, General Liu... Are you in..."

Just didn't wait for Wu Sansi to say anything more, the wolf-like general of the Right Yulin Army, under the leadership of Jing Hui and Huan Yanfan, rushed over from both sides, and surrounded the soldiers of the Left Yulin Army who had all laid down their weapons under Cheng Wuting's order, Jing Hui, who was quick with his eyes, had already punched Wu Sansi's mouth, and Wu Sansi, who had knocked out a few teeth, immediately covered his mouth with his hand in pain, unable to speak.

The scene was quickly controlled, and Li Xian immediately ordered hundreds of sergeants of Zuo Yulin's army to be escorted outside the palace, and several ministers such as Pei Yan and Wu Sansi who came to announce the decree were tied up.

After the sergeants of the Left Yulin Army brought by Cheng Wuting were disarmed, they were all escorted to the camp of the Right Yulin Army to be guarded, and at the same time, Li Duozuo issued an order to order a sergeant of the Right Yulin Army to be stationed in the area of the Xuanwu Palace under the leadership of Jing Hui, and he and Liu Yi led the remaining generals of the Yulin Army to accompany the emperor to the Xianju Hall where the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian lived.

Almost no effort was wasted, and the guards and Qianniu Guard sergeants guarding outside the Immortal Residence Hall were disarmed by the soldiers of the Yulin Army, and they were resolved without any bloodshed.

The palace maids of the eunuchs waiting outside the palace were frightened and scattered.

Liu Yi, who was on standby, nervously looked at the palace maids who ran away and saw that there was no Shangguan Wan'er, and he was a little worried about Shangguan Wan'er's comfort.

Li Xian stood outside the Immortal Palace for a while, looking at the plaque hanging on the hall with some distraction, then turned his head and ordered loudly: "Zhang Aiqing, Pei Aiqing, Wei Aiqing... All of you... There are also General Li and General Liu, all of whom entered the palace with me to see the Queen Mother, and all the sergeants stationed outside the palace listened to the order, and they were not allowed to worry about the Queen Mother!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," all the ministers and sergeants responded in unison, and a very loud voice also entered the Immortal Residence Hall.

Li Xian walked in the front, behind him were several personal guards, then Zhang Da'an, Wei Xuantong, Pei Xingjian, Wei Yuanzhong and others, and then Li Duozuo and Liu Yi behind.

Everyone walked into the hall and saw that there were only a few people in the hall, Wu Zetian was sitting in the hall, Wu Chengsi was kneeling on the side, Shangguan Wan'er was standing behind Wu Zetian, and the other palace people and eunuchs were gone.

Li Xianzheng was dressed up, strode forward, and saluted Wu Zetian, "Queen Mother, Erchen came to greet you, Erchen According to the report of his subordinates, there is chaos in the palace, and he is afraid of endangering the safety of the Queen Mother, so he led the sergeants of the Yulin Army to come over to protect the safety of the Queen Mother!"

Wu Zetian's sharp eyes looked at Li Xian, who bowed down, and the important ministers behind Li Xian, and did not speak.

"Queen mother, just now Wu Sansi and Pei Yan led some people to the palace where the ministers lived, and passed on the will of the queen mother, to seize the throne of the sons, the sons have already captured them, and after interrogation, they got that it was Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and Pei Yan and others who coerced the queen mother to make a decision, and the sons were afraid that the rebellious ministers and thieves would harm the queen mother, so they didn't have time to report to the queen mother, so they brought the soldiers of the Yulin Army to protect the safety of the queen mother," Li Xian saluted again and straightened up, "Wu Sansi and Pei Yan and others have been captured, and Wu Chenghe, who coerced the queen mother to make such a decision, is here, Therefore, I boldly asked the queen mother to hand over Wu Chenghei to my son, and the son will definitely deal with this matter according to my Tang law!" Li Xian said, without waiting for Wu Zetian to respond, that is, shouted loudly, "Come on, take down the rebel minister Wu Chenghe!"

Following Li Xian's order, under Wu Zetian's angry gaze, several of Li Xian's guards strode up to the hall and pulled down Wu Chenghe, who was kneeling on the ground and shaking into a ball.

Wu Zetian was almost blown up, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Li Xian with a trembling finger: "You unfilial son... How dare you do such a troubled thing..."Wu Zetian was speechless, his eyes kept searching for the ministers, but there were too many people, and the few people he wanted to find hid behind and didn't see it.

Li Xian still said respectfully: "Don't be angry, the queen mother is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there is chaos in the palace, and it must be dealt with, some things must be dealt with by the queen mother, I don't know the specific situation, the son has many things to say to the queen mother..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded to the order, Yuguan withdrew from the Xianju Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er, who had been pretending to be calm, also left the place where Wu Zetian was standing, and withdrew from the hall with Liu Yi and others.

Liu Yi slowed down, waited for Shangguan Wan'er to walk out of the Xianju Palace, and under the spring sunshine, he showed a gentle smile to Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, don't be afraid, everything has passed, and there will be no more trouble..."

"Yi'an..."Shangguan Wan'er looked at Liu Yi, and then looked at the heavily armed Yulin Army sergeants behind Liu Yi, as well as Huan Yanfan, who deliberately squeezed her face and showed a funny look, and was speechless.

"Someone comes, with the warrant of the general, escort the lawsuit Bo out of the palace and to the palace of Princess Taiping, there must be no mistake!" Liu Yi ordered again.

"Yes, General!" Wang Zhou, who had been promoted to the general of the Right Yulin Army, led dozens of Yulin Army sergeants out of the ranks and came to the place where Liu Yi and Shangguan Wan'er were standing.

Liu Yi approached Shangguan Wan'er's side and said to her in a low voice: "Wan'er, you go to the princess's mansion for a few days first, and when things completely settle down, I will come to see you!"

"That's... Alright!" Shangguan Wan'er's pale face had recovered a little, and after looking at Liu Yi with concern for a while, she finally nodded and agreed, "You have to be careful, if something happens, someone will come back and send a message..."

"I see, go ahead!" Liu Yi showed a relaxed smile to Shangguan Wan'er again, and motioned for Wang Zhou to escort Shangguan Wan'er away.

Shangguan Wan'er got into a carriage, and under the escort of dozens of Yulin Army sergeants, she walked out of Daming Palace through the right silver gate.

There was no movement in the South Garden of Daming Palace, and the left and right Jin Wuwei soldiers stationed in the South Garden of Daming Palace, under the strict orders of Li Jingjia and Hua Dazhi, did not have any movement, and also controlled Qiu Shenxian, who was preparing to mobilize Jin Wuwei soldiers, and the entire Daming Palace was almost under the control of Liu Yi and his cronies, these were the situation Pei Yan, Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and Wu Zetian himself did not expect at all, no one dared to believe that Liu Yi, who was also cited as a cronie by Wu Zetian a few days ago and entrusted with a secret mission, actually supported Emperor Li Xian at a critical moment.

Liu Yi and the others waited outside the Xianju Hall for a long time, Li Xiancai, who looked depressed but a little proud, walked out of it, Zhang Da'an and others hurriedly greeted him, Li Xian waved his hand and walked directly to Liu Yi's side, "General Liu, the queen mother will let you in!"

Knowing that such a scene was inevitable, there was no surprise, so he saluted Li Xian, and then exchanged a look with Pei Xingjian, that is, he walked towards the Immortal Residence Palace.

"The minister knocks to see the Queen Mother!" Liu Yi said to Wu Zetian, who was still sitting in his seat, his face was calmer than just now.

Wu Zetian saw that Liu Yi's expression was very calm, and his face that had just calmed down was angry again, and he said with a murderous face: "Liu Yi, this palace is not thin on you, and it is very kind to you, why do you treat this palace like this?!"

Liu Yi replied without a trace of fear: "The ministers don't want to see the chaos in the palace, they don't want to see the chaos of the dynasty, Your Majesty is the orthodoxy of my Tang Dynasty, and the ministers are all Your Majesty's subjects, and the only way to repay the great virtue of the emperor and the queen mother, and the holy grace of Your Majesty!"

"You are such a disloyal and unrighteous person, this palace has misjudged you for so many years!" Wu Zetian almost roared. After staying in the palace for so many years, it was the first time she had fallen into such a passive situation, when Li Zhi wanted to issue an edict to abolish her position as queen, there was no such danger, and she was regarded as a crony, and it was not betrayed by one or two cronies, which was a great shame for her. She made such a careful arrangement, not only Liu Yi, but also other palace guards, consciously had already controlled them, but she didn't expect to really start acting, but there was no movement under the command of the people, and she still hasn't figured out anything.

Seeing Liu Yi, who was out of shape like Wu Zetian for the first time, still remained calm, and said without humility or arrogance: "The minister is loyal to my Datang, and has never done anything to endanger the Datang, how can the queen mother say that the minister is disloyal?" For the sake of the country's righteousness, the minister did not hesitate to bear the infamy of the queen mother, why is it unjust? The minister is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and in the word loyalty, the minister feels that he has not done anything wrong. Over the years, my Tang Dynasty has been chaotic, and the ministers have seen it in their eyes, and their hearts are abnormal, and now His Majesty is young and promising, decisive, strategic, and long-term, and he is the most suitable person in power in my Tang Empire, working for a wise and decisive person like His Majesty, and the minister is unwilling to accept the charge of disloyalty and injustice given by the Queen Mother!"

"You..."Hearing Liu Yi secretly refer to her for so many years of trouble, Wu Zetian was speechless for a moment, and after being stunned for a moment, he shouted loudly: "You get out of the palace... This palace can't spare you!"

"Retire!" Liu Yi saluted again and withdrew from the Immortal Palace!

Liu Yi walked out of the hall and saw that Emperor Li Xian was still waiting outside the hall with others, and when he walked out, Li Xian immediately greeted him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Xian looked at Liu Yi with inquiring eyes, and Liu Yi shook his head slightly, revealing a helpless smile.

Li Xian was also relieved, turned to Zhang Da'an beside him and said, "Immediately call all the ministers, I want to announce urgent matters..."

A few days later, the imperial court issued an edict, which stated that the empress dowager would no longer be concerned with state affairs due to poor health and need to recuperate for a long time, and all affairs would be decided by the emperor.

At the same time, Emperor Li Xian also issued an edict, due to mistakes in handling court affairs, in addition to Pei Yanzhong's book order, Wu Sansi's servant, Wu Chenghe's secretary and supervisor, Pei Yan was demoted to Jiaozhou Sima, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi were abolished as concubines, exiled to Lingnan, and never returned to Beijing.

Shangshu left and right servants to participate in political affairs.

Cheng Wuting, the former general of Zuo Yulin's army, was transferred to the post of protector of the capital of Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and Liu Jingtong, who returned to Beijing, was appointed as the general of Zuo Yulin.

At the same time, he accepted the request of Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian to resign from their positions due to physical reasons, and appointed Liu Renliang as the general director and Pei Xingjian as a special post.

Li Xian also announced that in addition to Shangguan Wan'er's status as a member of the palace, he would be expelled from the palace...
