55 Jinling Wangqi
Zhang Cambodia is very familiar with the palace, and has already reached an agreement with Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi that these two will weaken a guard force so that they can drive straight in.
A few people led the troops without receiving much hindrance, and went straight to the Yingxian Palace where Wu Zetian raised troops.
At the place where he fought with the Zhang brothers, Zhang Cambodia killed the two.
Wu Dan and Princess Taiping served by the bedside, and Zhang Cambodia entered it with a blood-stained blade.
Wu Zetian looked at Zhang Cambodia without the slightest flustery, "Zhang Aiqing, what about the people you support?" ”
Li Xian was surrounded by a group of soldiers, trembling.
It wasn't until Wu Zetian asked and Zhang Cambodia signaled others to make way that he was exposed, so he dared to step forward.
"The son has no such intention, please forgive your mother."
Li Xian wept bitterly and knelt down in front of the bed.
Wu Zetian didn't look up at him, but just sighed, "Sure enough, it can't be atmospheric, and you can still be so cowardly now." ”
Li Xian fell directly to the ground and didn't dare to get up.
Zhang Cambodia pulled him up and shouted to his Majesty, "You should take this opportunity to ask the Queen Mother to give way to you and restore the Tang Dynasty." ”
Wu Zetian smiled and said nothing.
Li Xian ignored him.
Zhang Cambodia directly asked Wu Zetian to move to Shangyang Palace, where the people in the harem were old, and a group of soldiers were about to step forward.
The princess shouted, "Who dares to touch my mother." ”
Zhang Cambodia's smile became more and more rampant, "After today, the princess can only be the eldest princess, why not take a share of the credit for supporting the new monarch here." ”
The princess sneered, "As a child, you should be filial, and the royal brother is by no means a person who forces the palace to mess with the government, Zhang Qing is quite talented, and he also has the heart of the Li family, this matter is tied, and this palace can spare your life." ”
Where can Zhang Cambodia let go, and directly order someone to step forward, he will forcibly move the place where Emperor Wu is recuperating.
At this point, more than a dozen fully armored soldiers suddenly appeared behind the dragon bed, and there were shouts of killing outside the house.
Shen Sanwen and Zhang Yang entered inside.
"Zhang Cambodia, there is no one in your dead soldiers, and you will be captured before you can tie your hands."
When Zhang Cambodia saw the two of them entering with new soldiers, he knew that the general trend had gone, and shouted pity at the moment, and then he wanted to kill himself.
Shen Sanwen naturally didn't want to see blood in front of the emperor and princess and others, so that people would stop further action and throw him into prison.
Li Xian's whole body trembled and explained the situation to Wu Zetian, "Erchen is imprisoned, and he definitely has no intention of doing so." ”
Shen Sanwen also gave him corroboration.
Wu Zetian did not pursue the matter, but asked Shen San and the princess, "Do you two also want to force the palace?" ”
Princess Taiping hurriedly explained, "Erchen's move is only for King Qin's sake to protect your safety, if my mother wants to change the two royal brothers, Erchen will not complain." ”
Of course, Wu Zetian can't be like this, what level Li Xian and Wu Dan are, she knows in her heart.
"I've been an emperor for so many years, and that's enough. This emperor is also doing well, come to someone, pass the decree, from today onwards, go to the emperor's number, restore Li Tang, pass on the throne of the prince Zhenguo Taiping Princess, and hold the enthronement ceremony three days later. ”
Wu Zetian also figured out when Zhang Khan Zhi entered, her children are all surnamed Li, Da Zhou can only be yesterday's yellow flower after all, and it doesn't matter if the country name is Tang or Zhou, the important thing is that she has done what he wants to do.
Now it's time to enjoy the blessings, where is the time to be clean while sitting on the throne, it is better to be the emperor, and you can also make fun of your grandson.
She can rest assured that she will pass on the throne to the princess.
Three days later, the princess ascended the throne, changed the name of the country to Tang, crowned Li Xian as the king of loyalty, Wu Dan as the king of the prime minister, and allowed the restoration of the surname Li.
Wu Dan remembered the kindness of the emperor, and still maintained the surname Wu, and waited for his mother to die, and then made plans.
Zhang Yang and Shen Sanwen began to try the case of Zhang Cambodia's rebellion, but Zhang Cambodia denied all the affairs of the northern army.
denied that he had ever arranged the management of affairs in the north, and also denied that he had done anything to Zhang Yang's army, and had not monitored them.
Although Zhang Cambodia has power ambitions, he still has a clear distinction between national affairs, the northern military is a top priority, and he cannot ignore the Turkic Khitans and other tribes, and attack the army, all he wants is to stabilize the central capital and support the first emperor's crown prince Luling Wang.
Because Zhang Cambodia had this heart, Shen Sanwen did not directly sentence him to death, after all, if he replied to Tang and Li today, he did not think about releasing him, this kind of forced palace behavior is not worth advocating, and he can only spend the rest of his life in prison from now on.
Zhang Cambodia didn't think about committing suicide, because he still wanted to see the changes in the country, such as today's reply to the Tang Guohao, as a veteran Tang man, he still has some expectations in his heart.
Cui Xuan asked Shen Sanwen about such a decision, thinking that Zhang Cambodia should be killed directly if he was not rewarded for his merits, or because of the forced palace.
But Shen San asked, "He was able to access the palace and be able to force the palace, it was the opportunity given to him by the Emperor Taishang, what did he have when he was a Tang man?" But for the sake of his own further interests, he wants to deal with the emperor, this kind of person should be rewarded? Such ungrateful people cannot serve as role models. As for killing, there is no need, he has been an official for so long, it is beneficial to the people, and he has handled government affairs well, and he is not thinking of becoming a king on his own, so I don't want to kill him. ”
Everyone acquiesced in his approach, dealing with Zhang Cambodia is indeed a difficult problem, and it is indispensable to be poked in the backbone if he kills him directly.
Zhang Yang plans to go back to the army to find out, after all, the princess has ascended the throne, and he can get a lot of support from the court, and it will be much easier to return to the army.
However, at this time, the battle report came.
A large-scale plague broke out in Zhang Yang's army, and more than half of them were seriously ill.
Although he didn't know which side made a big move, Zhang Yang still hurried to the army to save people.
When they arrived in the army, they found that it was nothing more than someone poisoning nearby water sources and food, which would incapacitate the soldiers.
The barbarian has been operating in the Turks for a long time, and now he is quite stable, and he is not worried about the Turks making trouble.
Zhang Yang was worried about the decline in the combat capability of the soldiers.
At this time, a war report came from Jinling, and someone attacked Jinling City at night and took several large states near the sea in the east.
As early as when Xu Jingye rebelled, some people said that Jinling had a king's spirit and was a place that could be called king in the east, but Xu Jingye lost the opportunity to go straight to the capital.
Jinling is rich in products, close to the sea, salt and iron, various minerals, as well as grain and cloth are not lacking, it is a good place to feed a person. It is not bad to say that he has the spirit of a king, and he does have the capital to become the political, economic and cultural center of a place.
However, if it is peaceful today, where is anyone willing to rebel with the thief?
Everyone was full of doubts in their hearts, but Shen Sanwen thought that he had been ignoring one person.
Originally, when he saw Wu Dan in front of Wu Zetian's bed, he didn't doubt it, but now there will be such a decisive and courageous person, Shen Sanwen felt that there was only Li Longji who he had been ignoring.
