A great deal of involvement, but the shock caused was not a big upheaval in the DPRK and China, and it ended in the panic and panic of most of the officials in the DPRK and China, and the people of Chang'an City did not notice it too much. Wu Zetian was "placed under house arrest" by the current emperor, and the shock caused by the officials of the court who have been subordinating to the majesty of the "Queen of Heaven" for many years is no less than an earthquake, and most of the officials are trembling, especially those officials who have been promoted because of their flattery to Wu Zetian, they are even more frightened, for fear that after the emperor takes office, they will carry out a large-scale purge of officials like them, and they are all waiting for the choice of fate in panic.

However, very few people in the people know that such a great change has taken place in the DPRK and China, because no news has leaked out, there has been no pursuit and killing in Chang'an City, no bloody clashes have occurred, no things have caused the people to be frightened, and the lives of the people in Chang'an City have not been affected. For the people, the new emperor ascended the throne, began to pro-government, the queen mother gave way, and the appointment of officials changed is a very normal thing, but the appointment of officials during this period is a little too frequent, which is the only place that makes the people feel a little strange.

For Emperor Li Xian, what happened during this period of time, in his life, can be said to be the most unforgettable for him, these words, is the most special time in his life, he was originally at a disadvantage, under the advice of Zhang Da'an and Pei Xingjian, Wei Xuantong, Wei Yuanzhong and others, the strategy adopted was correct, and finally defeated his mother, almost the empress dowager who held most of the power in the court, what he could rely on was the soldiers of the Right Yulin Army, and some ministers who were cited as cronies, of course, the most important, Or the support of the soldiers of the Yulin Army. Xuanwu Gate is the most important place in the palace at any time, and if you master the forbidden army around the Xuanwu people, you can be invincible in the struggle in the palace, Li Xian saw this from his imperial grandfather Li Shimin, and this time in the struggle to determine his own success or failure, he also understood this, so after he controlled the situation in the court, he still lived in the Xuanwu Hall near the Xuanwu Gate.

The first step was to change the way officials were appointed and dismissed, and strictly adopt a series of systems that Pei Xingjian and Wei Xuan had in place when they were in the ministry, so as to standardize the appointment of officials in the DPRK and China, and change the phenomenon of arbitrariness in the appointment of officials since Wu Zetian's intervention.

Most of the ministers who are now in high positions in the court are originally Li Xian when he was the prince, as a series of subordinate officials of the East Palace, such as the prince's concubines and guests, as well as many people who are upright and loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Judging from the composition of the newly appointed officials, the power of officials in Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, including Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong, has been restricted, whether it is Zhongshu Shilang or Huangmen Shilang, there is no one in the phase now, the power of officials in Shangshu Province has been increased, and the left and right servants of Shangshu Province no longer need to be crowned with the three products of Zhongshu Men that is, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the system of three provinces and six ministries that has been damaged to a certain extent has been restored, and the situation of mutual restraint between Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu provinces has returned to the same time as Zhenguan. Shangshu left and right servants are both prime ministers of the court, and the names of the three products under the door of the same Zhongshu and the Pingzhangshi under the door of the same Zhongshu have basically been abolished.

Most of the heirs of the Wu family who were reused by Wu Zetian were removed from their posts and exiled, and other officials who were attached to Wu Zetian were temporarily dismissed or demoted, but no one lost their surnames because of this, this is where Li Xian is most proud, a "coup" of a large scale, ended with no bloodshed, far smoother than when his imperial grandfather Li Shimin seized power. Li Xian is also ready to follow his grandfather's example, and adopt the same strategy for these officials who have been temporarily left out in the cold, as long as they have talent, they will be reactivated, and he is also ready to work hard, vowing to build Datang stronger than ever.

Because of such an ambition, because he wants to prove to his mother that his time in power is far stronger than when his father and mother were in power together, and in order to prove to the ministers, they are not wrong to support him as the emperor, Li Xian is also conscientious after officially taking office, and discusses with the ministers almost every day about the major matters of governing the country, a series of reform measures in politics, people's livelihood, and military. can be blamed.

The emperor is so diligent, and he shows modesty and admonition, the ministers in the court do not dare to slack off, everyone is riveting, and they will think of the good policies for governing the country in the court, after many times of court and government affairs hall discussions, a series of new policies have been quietly prepared, just when the time is ripe, it can be implemented - in addition to the identity of the palace people, Shangguan Wan'er, who was expelled from the palace, with the help of Liu Yi, bought a small garden in Xingningfang, surrounded by several maids arranged by Liu Yi for him, and some personal guards responsible for safety, Several of them were trained by Liu Yi, who had followed Princess Taiping into the palace and stayed in the palace, and these people who played a very big role in the palace coup d'état, Liu Yi asked them to be responsible for Shangguan Wan'er's escort after leaving the palace.

Shangguan Wan'er came out of the palace with some people who were also "expelled" from the palace, which can still be explained by some reasons.

However, no one will pay attention to such a trivial matter, even if a special person like Shangguan Wan'er is almost forgotten after being expelled from the palace for a period of time, no one will care about where a palace maid who was originally the queen mother's side goes. Those who will care about Shangguan Wan'er's whereabouts, of course, will not shout loudly about how Shangguan Wan'er is doing.

Princess Taiping also behaved very generously after Shangguan Wan'er left the palace, and asked Liu Yi several times to take Shangguan Wan'er to the princess's mansion to live, but Shangguan Wan'er refused, and only occasionally came to visit Princess Taiping and her baby daughter to come to the princess's mansion, Princess Taiping also asked Liu Yi to take a certain amount of time to accompany Shangguan Wan'er, Liu Yi of course accepted this request very excitedly.

Of course, the frightened Shangguan Wan'er needs some comfort, and her long-standing young body also needs Liu Yi to moisturize.

Liu Yi therefore ran back and forth between the princess's mansion and Shangguan Wan'er's residence, and there were many people who had to be on duty in the palace, and they had to be called by Emperor Li Xian to discuss major affairs of the court, and the son was very hard, but also very relieved, the only thing that made Liu Yi regret was that Emperor Li Xian did not announce that Shangguan Wan'er would marry him, and he suggested that Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Tingzhi should be rehabilitated and reburied with ceremonies, and did not explicitly agree to it, which made Liu Yi and Shangguan Wan'er a little angry.

Almost a year has passed since such a day, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the second year of Kaiyao.

One day after the New Year, Liu Yi and Shangguan Wan'er hugged each other together, and Shangguan Wan'er, who was a little crazy just now, squeezed into Liu Yi's arms and said quietly: "Husband, I really hope you can accompany Wan'er every day... Wan'er would love to have our own children, but unfortunately we can't conceive yet... Alas, I really wish I could marry you sooner, after we get married, Wan'er can have children for you... Wan'er is so old, and in a few years, she will become a little old woman..."

"Our family's Wan'er will always be so beautiful, how can she never get old!" Liu Yi stroked Shangguan Wan'er's face, which was becoming smoother because of his moisture, and said, "Don't worry, when I come back from this expedition, I think Your Majesty will definitely marry you to me!"

"I hope so," Shangguan Wan'er hugged Liu Yi's body tightly, and said very sentimentally: "You're going to go on an expedition, and I don't know when you can come back, which makes Wan'er and a few sisters, how to get rid of these days without you!"

Liu Yi hugged Shangguan Wan'er's ** body into his arms, hugged it tightly, raised his head, and sighed: "Wan'er, this expedition to Tubo was suggested by me to Your Majesty, there has been chaos in Tubo, it is when my Tang Dynasty regained control of the Qinghai area, so many years have passed, my father's revenge has not been avenged, so I can't feel at ease!"

Since the second half of the first year of Kaiyao, news has been coming from the country of Tibet, and the struggle between the forces of the crossbow has become more and more intense, and even reached the point of fighting each other, and the crossbow has not been willing to be at the mercy of the Qinling brothers, and has united with his uncle Lisa Ruo, preparing to get rid of the Qinling and Zanpo brothers, and the power of the Qinling brothers in the city of Luo is threatened, and they were almost killed by the crossbow Xilong, but fortunately they got the information one step earlier and fled to Qinghai, which was guarded by the army loyal to them. Since the beginning of the first year of Kaiyao, the Lun Qinling had to live in the Heyuan area south of Qinghai, taking the entire Qinghai as its own sphere of influence, trying to accumulate power and then kill back to the city, so the crossbow Si Lane also cut off the supply of more than 200,000 troops led by the Lun Qinling in the Qinghai area.

In view of this situation, at the request of Liu Yi repeatedly, the imperial court agreed to send a large army to Qinghai on the grounds that the Tubo people living in Qinghai often violated our border and the request of the descendants of Murong Nuo, the chief of Tuyuhun living in Chang'an, to restore the country.

In the spring of the second year of Kaiyao, the imperial court issued an edict to go on an expedition, with Heiya Changzhi, the general of the right military guard of the inspection school, as the general of the Qinghai Road march, Liu Yi, the general of the garrison department and the right Yulin army, as the deputy chief and the former army commander, Zhang Qianqiao, Yang Yuanyan, Li Jingjia, Hua Dazhi, and Liu Jingtong as the general commanders, with 250,000 generals, attacking the Tubo people living in the Qinghai area.

This will be a very large-scale battle, and of course the goal is not just to retake Qinghai.

Before Liu Yi set out on the expedition, he patted his chest and assured Emperor Li Xian that he would definitely lead the army to regain control of the Qinghai area, and Li Xian almost patted his chest and promised that as long as Liu Yi returned victorious, he would immediately announce the marriage of Liu Yi and Shangguan Wan'er, give Shangguan Wan'er Liu Yi as his wife, and come to personally preside over the wedding... - At the end of the first month of the second year of Kaiyao, Liu Yi, as the deputy chief of the Qinghai Road march, led 220,000 horses from Chang'an to Qinghai, After preparing to rendezvous with the chief governor of Shanzhou, Heiya Changzhi, he launched an attack on the Tibetans in Qinghai.

The expedition ceremony was presided over by Emperor Li Xian himself, and most of the important ministers of the court came to participate.

Princess Taiping, who was pregnant again, hugged Xiao Liu Qi, who was already able to speak vaguely, and Shangguan Wan'er, as well as Xiaoyun and Ping'er, who had been accepted by Liu Yi as concubines, led those people with heads and faces in the mansion to see off Liu Yi outside the Mingde Gate.

During this period after Liu Yi's expedition, he was afraid that there would be any accidents, Shangguan Wan'er also moved to live in Princess Taiping's mansion, and Princess Taiping, a princess who had a very good relationship with Emperor Li Xian, was taken care of, and Liu Yi was very relieved.

As the commander of the temporary army, Liu Yi, after the ceremony presided over by Li Xian, ran to his family to say goodbye, and in the cries and admonitions of Princess Taiping, Shangguan Wan'er and other wives and concubines, as well as his mother Zhang, two brothers Liu Mai and Liu Yuan, he set off with high spirits.

In the middle of June of the second year of Kaiyao, five months after the army set out, news came from the Qinghai front that the 50,000 horses led by Liu Yi, the deputy governor and former army commander, quickly attacked the army led by the Tubo garrison general and the younger brother of the Qinling in the Kushan area of Qinghai, and completely annihilated the 70,000 horses led by the non Zanpo in a surprise attack, and killed the Tubo army in the southeast of Qinghai.

As a commentator on the praise of Brother Tan Qinling was furious after hearing the news, unwilling to let the fertile land of Qinghai be recaptured by our Tang Dynasty, and vowed to avenge his younger brother, personally raised the remaining 180,000 horses to Qinghai, ready to fight with our army.

When the 180,000 troops of the Qinling Tomb arrived in the Chihai area and camped to rest, Liu Yi personally led 5,000 men and horses to attack the camp of the Tubo people at night, and took advantage of the wind to set a big fire.

The day before, I got a report from the scouts, the Tang army was still in the Qinling Tomb nearly 400 miles away, how did I not expect that the Tang army only took more than a day to attack in front of their tent, and they could not organize effective resistance in a panic, and the chaos led by Liu Yi led by the men and horses, and about an hour after Liu Yi's attack on the camp, Liu Yi's generals Zhang Qianqiao, Yang Yuanyan, and Li Jingjia led the follow-up men and horses to catch up, and nearly 80,000 elite troops of the Tang Dynasty launched a bloody massacre against the Tubo rout, and the next morning The rest of the men and horses led by Hei Zhi Chang also rushed to the vicinity of Chihai, and at the same time sent a group of men and horses to attack the source of the river, cutting off the return route of the Qinling, more than 300,000 horses and horses launched the largest battle in this area, after two days of fighting, the end of the Tubo 180,000 army was annihilated, and the Qinling was captured by Liu Yi.

The Tang Dynasty army set up a Po Luo Dao marching department with Hei Zhi Chang Zhi as the general manager, and after preparing to attack the area of Luo Some City, he was frightened and sick, and he had already been in secret contact with my Tang Dynasty to ask for attachment to my Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Li Xian agreed to Tubo's request for attachment, so that Hei Zhi Changzhi led 80,000 horses to march in the direction of Luo Some City, and Liu Yi led a group of men and horses to Jiajing.

Then the imperial court issued an edict, in the original Tubo to set up the Xihai metropolitan protectorate, changed some cities to Xining City, with the crossbow Xi Lane for the capital protection, the black tooth Changzhi for the deputy capital protection, the crossbow Xi Lane refused to accept the edict, but in the next few days he died of a violent illness, the instrument crossbow Xi Lane had no heirs, the Tang Dynasty court announced that the black tooth Chang Zhi who had arrived near the city of Luo some was the inspector of the Xihai capital protection, and the Lisa Ruo was the deputy capital protector, and the prime minister was the affairs of the original Tubo land.

Many Tibetan nobles were unwilling to be ruled by our Tang Dynasty, and the Black Tooth Changzhi led the army to attack everywhere, exhausted to quell the rebellion of the Tubo people, and with the help of the powerful blow of the Black Tooth Changzhi and a servant army, the situation near the city of Luo gradually calmed down.

In the first month of the third year of Kaiyao, Emperor Li Xian issued an edict to rehabilitate Shangguan Yi, posthumously presented Shangguan Yi as Zhongshu Ling, Governor of Qinzhou, and Duke of Chu Guo, Shangguan Tingzhi as Huangmen Shilang, Qizhou Thorn History, and Tianshui County Duke, and was buried with ceremonies.

All posthumous awards and rewards were received by Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er's granddaughter, and Shangguan Wan'er was given a younger brother, located in Xingning Fang.

In February, after handing over Qinghai affairs to the remaining general Lou Shide, Liu Yi led a group of men and horses back to Chang'an.

Emperor Li Xian rewarded Liu Yi, who had just returned to the dynasty victoriously, with Liu Yi as the secretary of the military department, and the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, rewarding countless money and goods, and also at the repeated request of Princess Taiping, he was given a marriage to Liu Yi, and Shangguan Wan'er Xu took Liu Yi as his wife.

Emperor Li Xian agreed to Liu Yi's resignation from the post of general of the military department and Zuo Qianniuwei because of the repeated requests of Liu Yi and his wife Princess Taiping, but he was still entrusted with the young master of the prince - a brother of Xingningfang.

After the one-year mourning period of the former emperor Li Zhi, at the request of Princess Taiping, Emperor Li Zhi agreed to marry Shangguan Wan'er, who had been removed from the status of a palace person, to Liu Yi as his wife.

The people and officials in the court were amazed by the generosity of Princess Taiping, and the emperor's marriage, and the horse openly married another wife, which was the first time in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the emperor himself who presided over the marriage.

After some excitement, on the night of the candles in the cave room, Liu Yi hugged his beautiful wife, and sighed infinitely, "Wan'er, I finally fulfilled my promise and married you into the door, and we can stay together for the rest of our lives!"

Shangguan Wan'er fell into Liu Yi's arms, looking at Liu Yi with tenderness in her eyes, "Husband, I can marry you, this is the happiest thing in Wan'er's life, the grievances between her grandfather and her father were finally revealed, and she was buried with a ceremony, and her mother was buried with her father, Wan'er has no regrets, Wan'er will say in the future, what she wants most is to give her husband a few more sons and daughters, the princess already has two daughters, and even the concubine Xiaoyun you received is pregnant, and the concubine... It's stressful! The concubine would love to have a son for you... Bear your first son!"

"Haha... Since Wan'er wants to add children to her husband so much, then... Come, beauty, we... Let's go to bed... I'll do a man-making movement with you right away..."Liu Yi smiled silver, hugged Shangguan Wan'er's body, and strode towards the bedroom...
