Chapter 137: He is always there at critical moments

[In order to still be located in Li Tang, Zhang Cambodia and others are preparing to launch a coup d'Γ©tat.

At this time, Yao Chong, who had been an official in other places, got the news from Zhang Cambodia and learned that Wu Zetian's health was not very good, so he smelled a smell of wind and rain!

Yao Chong resolutely returned to the capital at this time, and happened to meet Zhang Cambodia and others who were planning to launch a coup, so Yao Chong also took advantage of the situation to participate in this coup, known in history as the Shenlong Coup!

Under the efforts and pressure of Yao Chong and Zhang Khan Zhi, Wu Zetian had no choice but to pass the throne to his son Li Xian, and it was precisely because Li Xian ascended the throne that Li Tang's country was preserved.

For this reason, Wu Zetian revoked the title of emperor himself, erased the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty from history, and returned it to the descendants of Li Tang. 】

[It is recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian": In September, Renzi, the general manager of the marching army with Yao Yuanzhi's Lingwu Dao; Xin You, with Yuan Zhi as the ambassador of Lingwu Dao appeasement.

Yuan Zhi will be in action, and the Queen Mother will be the prime minister.

said to him: "Zhang Cambodia is deep and strategic, can judge major events, and his person is old." But His Majesty needs it urgently. "Winter, October, Jiaxu, with the autumn official servant Zhang Cambodia with the Ping Zhang, when he was eighty years old.

Wu Zetian in his later years really wanted to open up, but in fact, who would be the emperor was not the same? However, without Zhang Cambodia and Yao Chong pushing at the last moment, Wu Zetian was really difficult to choose.

was able to come back at such a critical time and play a key role, it can be seen that Yao Chong's title of "Prime Minister of Saving Time" is really not blown.

Because of his meritorious contribution to Li Xian's accession to the throne, Yao Chong was also named a marquis.

However, at this time, Yao Chong did not enter the inner circle of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, but was sent to many places to do assassination.

The internal affairs of the Tang Zhongzong era were too chaotic, and he had a group of his own cronies, so Yao Chong naturally couldn't interfere in his internal affairs.

But this is also a good thing, because of Yao Chong's release, he managed to avoid another extremely risky coup d'Γ©tat. 】

Li Shimin was the first to give Yao Chong a thumbs up and said: "Yao Chong is really good, he played a key role at a critical moment!" ”

"That's the prime minister who created the pinnacle of China's 'Kaiyuan Prosperous Era'! My Prime Minister! Hahahaha!! Li Longji laughed proudly.

"Yao Chong is good, but it's a pity that Tang Xuanzong lost all his old books in the early stage in his later years. Otherwise, with the strong strength of the Tang Dynasty at that time, how could it be more brilliant for more than a hundred years? Zhao Kuangyin said with regret.

Looking at the prime ministers of other people's families, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of his current prime ministers Li Shanchang and Xu Da, and suddenly said to himself proudly: "Hehe, you have Yao Chong, and we also have Li Shanchang and Xu Da, no worse than you Tang Dynasty!" ”

However, none of the prime ministers of Zhu Yuanzhang in history had a good end, except for the old brother Xu Da.

For example, Li Shanchang, the prime minister of Zuo, who was called "Xiao He in the world" by Zhu Yuanzhang, defected when Zhu Yuanzhang was at his weakest, and has been responsible for the supply of food and salary for the army, becoming the "engine" of the front-line soldiers.

Hongwu was the first prime minister of Zuo, named the Duke of Korea, four years to Shi, was killed in his later years, and the clan was exterminated.

Another example is the right prime minister Wang Guangyang, Jinshi at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Hongwu four to six years, moved to Guangdong, Hongwu died in the twelfth year.

Another example is Yang Xian, who was killed because Li Shanchang impeached him for "reckless adultery".

Finally, the right prime minister Hu Weiyong, Hongwu six to ten years, moved to the left prime minister, to the thirteenth year to die, because of Hu Weiyong's case implicated in the death, as many as 30,000 people!

Moreover, Hu Weiyong should be regarded as the last prime minister in Chinese history, after his death, Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the prime minister, abolished the Zhongshu Province, and set up a cabinet for the emperor as an adviser, depriving them of the right to decide.

It can be seen that Lao Zhu's prime minister in this period is a high-risk profession, but fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was "lucky" to be selected by the system, has changed a lot, and there is no such large-scale killing. Li Shanchang is also working in the position of Prime Minister Zuo, and at this time he is probably busy preparing for the bank and the new banknotes.

The video continues to play.

When he saw Yao Chong again, he was already ready to enter the court again.

[After the Shenlong coup, Li Xian ascended the throne as emperor and restored the Li Tang Dynasty. 】

[However, Li Xian, the short-lived emperor, obviously did not clearly understand what kind of ruthless character his wife and daughter were, and was poisoned by the two of them

After these two poisoned Tang Zhongzong, they set up the child Li Chongmao as the emperor, and Empress Wei learned Wu Zetian to listen to the government, which was the prelude to usurpation. 】

[However, the means and prestige of the two of them are obviously not comparable to Wu Zetian.

The forces led by Princess Taiping and Li Longji in the court staged a coup d'Γ©tat again, Empress Wei and others were killed, forcing the young emperor to abdicate, and Li Dan (Li Longji's father) was appointed as the emperor, which was for Tang Ruizong. 】

"Every time I think of this highlight moment, I can't help but get excited!" Mr. Lee was clearly proud of the coup.

Yao Chong in the pillar of light was also quite emotional, "Thinking back to the old man's voice, although the reform did not persist, he had a good performance at every critical moment, and he could be ranked on the top ten famous names in history, and he could be regarded as a smiling Jiuquan." I just don't know who this Mr. Su is. ”

[Li Dan is Wu Zetian's youngest son, the elder brother of Princess Taiping, and Li Longji's father. Princess Taiping and Li Longji put Li Dan on the throne, and naturally they also had their own plans. 】

[Tang Ruizong's younger sister, Princess Taiping, became very powerful because she helped Li Longji launch a palace coup, because Ruizong was too obedient to her sister, which caused Princess Taiping and Li Longji to have a conflict.

Because Tang Ruizong trusted Princess Taiping very much, Princess Taiping's ambition swelled day by day, and she began to gradually rise to the idea of plotting to usurp the throne. 】

[Yao Chong was transferred back to the capital at this time, and he naturally discovered this problem.

Several prime ministers in the court are all princesses of Taiping, and Tang Ruizong, the emperor, can't even speak.

After Yao Chong became the prime minister, he was also wooed by Princess Taiping. However, Yao Chongyan rejected Princess Taiping, and said that he would be loyal to Tang Ruizong, and then he gave Princess Taiping the most ruthlessly. 】

[The fate of offending the princess is always bad, in order to protect himself, but also to protect the Li Tang Dynasty, Yao Chong walked together with Li Longji, Song Jing and others, and worked together to eradicate the power of Princess Taiping, thereby stabilizing the government and completely annihilating the remnants of Wu Zetian. 】

[However, before Princess Taiping was completely overthrown, Li Dan had to demote Yao Chong and Song Jing out of the capital in order to reconcile Princess Taiping and Li Longji.

However, Yao Chong and Song Jing were demoted, but Li Longji eventually became the biggest winner, and he won beautifully. He not only won the support of many ministers and grasped more power, but also left a reputation of filial piety and humility, won Li Dan's complete trust, and changed from suppression to gradual relinquishment of power.

Yao Chong and Song Jing finally ushered in their own peak moment after Li Longji ascended the throne! 】
