417 Aunt and nephew
"I can have where I am today thanks to the support of the old immortals. If you can ascend to the great treasure one day, what is the merit of mere merit!"
In an ordinary house in Chang'an City, Li Longji bowed to Mi Xiaoxia, his eyes were sincere and his words were earnest.
"With your words today, within ten years, I will guarantee that you will ascend the throne!"
Mi Xiaoxia nodded, although his voice was not loud, but he had enough confidence.
"Thank you, old fairy!"
Li Longji couldn't help but be excited, and saluted and thanked him again.
Officially reached an agreement with Li Longji, and at this time, the affairs of the mortal world have also ended, and Mi Xiaoxia returned to the Earth Immortal Realm, still returning to Jilei Mountain to cultivate.
After the Shenlong coup, Wu Cao ceded the throne to the crown prince Li Xian, who was Li Longji's uncle. In February, the Tang Dynasty was restored, and the old system was restored to the hundred officials, flags, uniforms, and characters.
Although Wu Cao was honored as the 'Emperor of the Great Sage of Zetian', he had actually retreated into the background, and all the power belonged to Li Tang.
With the loss of power in Wu Cao and the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was still the state religion. Taoism finally survived these fifteen years, and then began to fight back and suppress Buddhism!
The situation in the mortal world has changed, but Jiangnan Province is still calm. Jiangnan Province was betrayed by Wu Cao to Mi Xiaoxia, and at this time, the rights returned to Li Tang, of course, he would want to take it back.
But it's a pity that in the fifteen years of Wu Cao's reign, Mi Xiaoxia has already built Jiangnan Province into an iron bucket. At this time, there are still local immortals such as Chunniang, and the Tang Dynasty, which has just been restored, has been shaken.
Everything temporarily returned to calm, time flickered for nearly a year, and on November 26, Wu Cao died of illness in the Xianju Hall of Shangyang Palace. At the age of eighty-two, she ended her vigorous and legendary life.
Wu Cao's edict omitted the emperor's title, called 'Zetian Great Sage Empress', and pardoned the relatives of Empress Wang, Concubine Xiao Shufei, and Chu Suiliang and other old ministers.
Ordered to be buried in Qianling and buried with Gaozong Li Zhi!
"If you go through the world, you don't have any regrets. β
In the Earth Immortal Realm Thunder Mountain, Mi Xiaoxia calculated that Wu Cao had died of illness, opened his eyes and sighed slightly.
I can't help but think of the first time I saw Wu Cao, she was still called Wu Zhao, and she was a little girl of a few years old. The pink carved jade looks cute, pulling Mi Xiaoxia for help.
Mi Xiaoxia took her out of Chang'an and hid her in Changchun. When she grew up, she was sent to the court with her own hands and given the name Wu Mei.
Later, Wu Cao stepped up to the pinnacle of power, and Mi Xiaoxia watched her grow up like her father.
Until the end, it was Mi Xiaoxia who made a move and ended her throne!
At this time, Wu Cao died of illness, and everything was empty. Thinking of all this, Mi Xiaoxia couldn't help but feel melancholy.
"Cultivating the road of immortality, you are used to seeing birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, so why sigh because of death. β
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in mid-air, and Mi Xiaoxia looked up and saw a cloud of colorful primordial gods appear.
"Is that you?"
Mi Xiaoxia was stunned, this is the colorful primordial god he released when he opened the seal, and it was also his reincarnation of Wu Cao.
But in detail, he is not Wu Cao.
"My mission is complete, and I am about to return to the original god. I think you're half a friend, so I'm here to take a look. β
The colorful primordial god looked at Mi Xiaoxia and said.
"How can I dare to be a friend of the Buddha's mother. β
Mi Xiaoxia smiled at the corner of his mouth, not appreciating.
The identity of this colorful primordial god, Mi Xiaoxia has long known, it is the Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva!
At the time of the Longhan catastrophe, Yuanfeng gave birth to finch eggs when he was dying, and hatched Kong Xuan, that is, the brother of Kunpeng and Dapeng.
After the Great War of the Gods, Kong Xuan guarded Jinjiling as the commander of Yin Shang. The five-color divine light of the divine power was brushed without anything, and he defeated the twelve golden immortals, the people of the Burning Lamp Dao, and the people of the Lu Dao, so that Zhou Jun had no power to fight back, so he could only hang up the war-free card.
In the end, the sage allowed him to take action, surrendered him and captured him to the west.
Kong Xuan was so angry in his chest that he actually beheaded the evil corpses among the three corpses, becoming a fierce peacock and eating people everywhere. The evil corpse opened its mouth and swallowed the people of the city, and the Buddha cultivated the six golden bodies in the Great Snow Mountain, which happened to be swallowed by him.
If the Buddha broke out of the body, he respected Kong Xuan's evil corpse as his mother and was named the Peacock Ming King Bodhisattva.
In order to develop Buddhism in the eastern soil, in fact, before supporting Li Jiancheng, the Buddha had already planned to steal the imperial power. But this matter is not trivial, and it requires a great mana to descend to the earth. Only then did he ask for the Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva and borrow his primordial spirit to send it to the mortal world.
But unfortunately, it was detected by Taoism and sealed in Longhu Mountain nearby. It wasn't until Mi Xiaoxia appeared that the seal was unsealed. But because the power was consumed, the colorful primordial god could only be reincarnated as a female fetus, which was later Wu Cao.
"If we have the chance, we can sit down and talk, maybe we are not enemies. β
Seeing Mi Xiaoxia's cold attitude, and knowing that Buddhism and Taoism were not mutually exclusive at this time, the colorful Yuan Shen smiled and said a word, and then flew away and returned to the West Tianling Mountain to return to his position.
"What do you mean......
Mi Xiaoxia frowned slightly, the colorful Yuan Shen is actually Kong Xuan's doppelganger, listening to the meaning of his words has an element of goodwill, is he not the same heart as Buddhism.
But think about it, after all, with Kong Xuan's ability and temperament, how could he be willing to surrender to others?
"Whatever......
However, these things have little to do with Mi Xiaoxia for the time being. Whether there will be a chance to meet Kong Xuan in the future is still difficult to say.
Next, Mi Xiaoxia was still cultivating quietly, and at the same time, watching the changes in the mortal world.
Li Xian ascended the throne and the Tang Dynasty was restored, but Li Longji was still some distance from the throne. And in the next few years, as far as Mi Xiaoxia knows, the history is eventful, so I have to pay attention.
"Strange ......"
At the same time, what puzzled Mi Xiaoxia was that by this time, Mi Bu and Mi Duoduo had not yet appeared.
At the beginning, Xie Xiaoyu said that Mi Duoduo's life experience was broken, and the two brothers and sisters went down the mountain to the mortal world. Looking at that posture, it was clear that he went to find Wu Cao to take revenge.
But at this time, Wu Cao is dead, and the Yuan Shen has already returned to his place, why haven't the two of them shown up yet?
Is it because after a long time, the desire for revenge has faded, or is it fun to play in the mortal world?
"Forget it. β
I really can't figure it out, and Mi Xiaoxia doesn't want to think about it anymore. In short, Wu Cao is dead, the masters of Buddhism have also withdrawn, and the two brothers and sisters are no longer in danger, and Mi Xiaoxia is relieved.
When Mi Xiaoxia was in retreat, the mortal court was still eventful.
Re-ascended to the throne, Li Xian was extremely conniving with Empress Wei, who had been in trouble together, resulting in the power being held by the Wei family. In addition, with the help of Empress Wei and Zhaorong Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Sansi became the prime minister.
In this way, in the Tang Dynasty, a military and Wei dictatorship clique with Empress Wei as the main body gradually formed! They wantonly suppressed dissidents, especially Zhang Khan Zhi and other heroes who led the Shenlong Revolution at the beginning.
In this way, the contradiction between the foreign surname and Li Tang reappeared. Two years later, the crown prince Li Chongjun launched a mutiny, because he was not the biological son of Empress Wei and was in a difficult situation, so he wanted to strike first.
But unfortunately, during the attack on the palace, it was blocked outside the Xuanwu Gate, and because Li Xian was still alive, the soldiers turned against each other. Li Chongjun was defeated and fled to Zhongnan Mountain, where he was killed by his subordinates on the way.
Three years later, in the first year of Tang Long, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian suddenly died violently in the palace!
Although Li Xian's health was not good, he did not die of illness suddenly. This was actually a plot between Empress Wei and Princess An Le to poison him and kill him! As soon as Li Xian died, Empress Wei became more and more powerful.
Then Empress Wei supported Li Chongmao to ascend the throne and became her puppet emperor, while she learned from Wu Cao and listened to the government. Since then, Empress Wei has been in the dynasty, and if he continues to develop according to this posture, he will definitely be another Wu Zetian in the future!
"I thought that after Wu Cao, he would return the world to Li Tang, but I didn't expect another Empress Wei!"
"What are you panicking about, nephew, we have even brought down the Empress Zetian, let alone Empress Wei?"
In Princess Taiping's mansion, Li Longji was quite annoyed, but Princess Taiping had a relaxed face, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
"That's exactly what you say!"
Seeing that a consensus had been reached, Li Longji was overjoyed and continued.
"In that case, I have to help my aunt help me get rid of this demon queen!"
"And after that, who will be the emperor?"
"Naturally, my father succeeded to the throne!"
"The royal brother succeeded to the throne...... That's appropriate. β
Li Longji did not say that he wanted to be emperor, although in fact it was about the same. But thinking that Li Dan was also extremely fond of her, Princess Taiping nodded, in short, this deal is not a loss.
Then the two conspired to lead, and at the same time began to contact the ministers of the court and the palace guards.
In June of the first year of Tang Long, after everything was in order, Li Longji led people into the palace!
At this critical moment, how could Mi Xiaoxia not be there. But the opponents are basically mortals, so he doesn't show up. Instead, he hid in the shadows, helping to open the door and bewitch the forbidden army.
Li Longji and Princess Taiping planned well, Empress Wei lost his morality and lost his heart, and Mi Xiaoxia, a golden immortal, secretly made a move, and everything went smoothly.
Li Longji entered the palace, Shangguan Wan'er led people to greet him, and handed over the draft of Li Xian's edict. But Shangguan Wan'er is also a member of the Weihou Group, Li Longji waved his hand and directly ordered someone to behead his subordinates!
Next, they searched for Empress Wei's henchmen, and they were also beheaded!
In this way, no less than 1,000 people were killed, including many important ministers of the court, and the matter finally came to an end. Early the next morning, Li Longji went out of the palace to greet Li Dan, who was still unaware.
Li Dan hugged Li Longji and cried and said: "The preservation of the Datang Sect Temple is all due to you!"
Two days later, Princess Taiping forced Li Chongmao to abdicate, and Li Dan re-ascended the throne and changed to Yuan Jingyun. Then, three days later, Li Longji was appointed crown prince.
This coup d'Γ©tat is known as the Tang Long Coup. Eradicated the Empress Wei group, and Li Longji became the crown prince, only one step away from the throne!
At this time, his only obstacle and the last obstacle was his aunt Princess Taiping, who fought side by side all the way and respected in his heart!
Several coups were led by Li Longji and Princess Taiping. And because of Li Dan's love for this sister, Princess Taiping's power has become more and more huge. Later, he had directly threatened Li Longji.
And it was only at this time that Princess Taiping showed her minions, and Li Longji could clearly feel that his aunt had the ambition to emulate her mother and ascend the throne as a female emperor!
Then, as time went on, the fight between the two became more and more obvious, and gradually shifted from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. Li Dan was cowardly and gradually unable to deal with the situation.
After two years, Li Dan was powerless, so he decided to let Li Longji and let their aunt and nephew fight. In short, he handed over the country to the Li family, and he was worthy of his ancestors.
According to the trend of history, Li Long should basically board the plane smoothly, and then send troops the next year to eradicate Princess Taiping and completely end the chaos of the Tang Dynasty since Wu Zetian.
But I didn't expect that before Li Danchan let go, Princess Taiping actually made a preemptive strike and led her troops to force the palace!
