Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After hearing reports from servants that the King of Liang had already entered the palace, Wu Youyi, the king of Jian'an, Di Renjie, the chief minister of the political affairs hall, and Wu Yanji, the son of the former heir, also entered the palace one after another, and none of them had returned yet. Taiping suddenly stood up, and Tang Song stopped pacing.  , he finally found the reason for his uneasiness before.

    Ever since he failed to enter the palace and was shot with an arrow at the gate of the imperial city, he had been worried about the most terrifying situation deep in his heart, but because this situation had never happened in history, and in addition  Even he himself felt that his trust in Wu Zetian was excessive.  Then, Taiping thought that Wu Sansi would come to negotiate was indeed convincing, so he did not mention this seemingly absurd worry, but in fact, subconsciously, this worry never dissipated, like a ghost.  It floated in the deepest part of his heart, causing him to feel uneasy, but he couldn't find the reason for the moment.  .

    After the servant who came to report the news went out, Tang Song suddenly exhaled a long breath and said in a deep voice to Taiping, who was still in a daze: "Whether it is the imperial army or the government army, pull out all the people you can move and let's enter the palace.  ¡­¡±

    These words made Taiping shudder, "You are crazy and leading troops into the palace like this is undoubtedly treason"

    Compared to Taiping's excitement, Tang Song, whose blood was already boiling in his voice, was unusually calm when he spoke, "Wu Sansi has been in the palace for a long time, why hasn't he left the palace when the palace is locked? Not only did he not come out,  , even Di Gong, Wu Youyi, and Wu Yanji didn¡¯t come out. Is it possible that the foreign ministers can stay in the inner palace?"

    "Perhaps His Majesty left them to discuss matters all night"

    Seeing Taiping's hesitation in speaking, it was obvious that even he didn't believe this statement. Tang Song sneered, "What are the identities of the four of them? The purpose of summoning the four of them to the palace can only be to establish the heir. Wait here."  Your mother will discuss matters with others, let alone the four of them?"

    Wu Zetian¡¯s governing style is to act decisively if she doesn¡¯t move, and make decisions when she moves.  Since she summoned these people to the palace, she must announce the result. How long can this take?  Karamatsu already knew this, let alone Taiping, so she really couldn't answer this question.

    Tang Song did not give her any more time to think, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go quickly"

    Taiping's body was shaken, and there was indescribable entanglement and hesitation in her eyes when she looked at Tang Song. At this moment, the strong outer armor on her body was finally lifted, revealing the weakness that she never wanted to show others.

    At this moment, Tang Song finally understood why Taiping in history was defeated in the political battle with Li Longji, because her heart was not as tough as she showed on the outside. She had a strong ambition, but not  - has an equally strong heart, so she was completely defeated even though her strength was not weak, and was eventually forced to death by her own nephew.

    Under Karamatsu¡¯s urging, Taiping, who could not sit still or stand firmly, began to pace around the room, walking faster and faster, and his slender fingers were clenched until they were bloodless.

    "These five thousand troops are the result of her years of hard work. It is not easy to win them over to this point. If it is not necessary, she really does not want to be exposed like this.

    The shadow of Wu Zetian in her heart was too deep. She was too afraid of the emperor who starved her ex-husband to death and whom she called mother!  Leading troops into her inner palace, if there is even a slight misjudgment, the result will be

    After waiting - seeing that she was still unable to make a decision, Karamatsu walked out.

    "where did you go?"

    Tang Song sneered without looking back, "There is no point in planning! Nowadays, people will be swordsmen, and I will be fish and meat, but I don't have time to waste time with you here. If you don't want to use soldiers, you will find someone who is willing to fight for the king."  ¡­¡±

    At this time, Tang Song Yiran was once again on the streets of Shendu, leading thousands of tribute students in front of the swords and spears of the Forbidden Army, exuding a kind of determination to move forward.

    Taiping was intimidated by his aura of never looking back once he made a decision. Looking at his somewhat unfamiliar back, Taiping was speechless. It wasn't until Karamatsu opened the door and walked out of the room that he hissed.  Said: "Stop! The troops and horses I can mobilize are only five thousand troops. These troops can't even open the gate of the palace city. What will happen even if they go?"

    Tang Song stopped and turned around, but did not re-enter the room. He looked at Taiping coldly outside the door, "The total number of imperial troops on duty in the inner palace is only more than two thousand, and five thousand imperial troops are enough for a big use. Those who entered the palace  I will take care of the matter and find a way to ensure that you are not defeated"

    Through the open door, Taiping stared at Karamatsu. It was clearly a severe winter weather, but there were fine beads of sweat oozing out from her forehead.

    This was another battle of wills. Tang Song was as firm as steel as he looked at Taiping for a long time, without giving in or compromising at all. In the end, Taiping gritted his teeth and turned his eyes away, "That's all, I'll accompany you at worst."  ¡ªIf you want to die, I¡¯ll go!¡±

    Until she spit it outAfter saying a few words, Tang Song walked back into the room, walked straight to Taiping, pulled her into his arms, then patted the woman's back and said decisively: "Tonight, the Imperial Guards on duty are actually in the Imperial Palace."  Arrows were fired brazenly in front of the city gate, and then I was chased down the long streets. The pursuers even used long bows on the streets of the capital city. You, a princess who usually can fly in and out of the palace on your own, were unexpectedly rejected tonight;  Di Gong and others have been in the palace for a long time but still did not come out after the palace door was locked. These three things are all abnormal. Some of these three things are the basis. Even if we, the master of Qiqin Wang, are wrong, we will not come out.  It is a sign of loyalty that your mother-emperor will never kill you"

    Karamatsu's comforting hug helped Taiping calm down from excessive tension and excitement, but he refused to give in, "How do you know the Queen Mother won't kill us if you make a mistake?"

    "Because she is your mother-emperor, although the killing is heavy, it is not stupid"

    After saying that, Tang Song pushed Taiping away and said, "Wu Sansi, he is a treacherous, vicious and vicious person who must be punished. If he succeeds, you and I will die without a burial place. Since there is no retreat, just move forward, let's go."

    Invite Shangguan Jin to tell her address, and after he escorted the old lady to Anximen in North City of Luoyang for peace, Tang Song accompanied Taiping and went straight to the Fujun camp on the outskirts of Luoyang City under the protection of more than a hundred princess palace guards.  go.

    At Anxi Gate in Beicheng, the city gate supervisor on duty was quite hesitant about opening the city gate so late. It was during this struggle that Shangguan Jin arrived with the arrogant old eunuch who was riding with him.

    Just when Karamatsu was worried about the waste of time and was about to order the guards to take action, the sweating city gate supervisor finally could no longer bear the threat that Taiping announced, and ordered the city gate to be opened under the princess's lustful power.

    After leaving the city, the road went straight to the government army station. When Kankan was about to arrive, Taiping held down the horse's head, scolded the guards and cast an extremely complicated look at Tang Song, "If there is civil strife in the palace later, the mother-emperor will be in danger."  ¡ª~~Karamatsu~~Are you willing to help me?"

    On a cold night, under the pale moonlight, Taiping's bright eyes were frighteningly hot at this moment.

    Of course Tang Song understood what Taiping meant, "Now you and I are like grasshoppers on a rope. If there is anything I can do for you, of course I will help you. But it's a pity that your foundation is too shallow - just act according to the situation"

    In the inner palace, with the rapid sound of horse hooves, Wu Sansi, who was restless, finally waited for the confidant he had cultivated for many years.

    There were more than a dozen people who came here. After getting off their horses, they all ignored their imperfections and looked at Wu Sansi who came out in surprise.  What on earth happened?  There was such a big fuss.

    Wu Sansi didn't say much to these people, but handed over his orders. After the imperial army invited all the adults to have tea in the side hall, they called Zong Chu's guests to another secluded place to talk.

    Zong Chuke, courtesy name Shu Ao, was born in Puzhou. He was a Jinshi in the Gaozong Dynasty and is now the minister of household affairs. He was a man of many schemes and was the most trusted confidant of Wu Sansi. In later generations, he and four other people were collectively known as  Wu Sansi¡¯s ¡°Five Dogs¡±

    After listening to Wu Sansi's detailed explanation, Zong Chuke gasped on the spot and saw a thin layer of sweat oozing out from his forehead.

    "Shu Ao"

    "Ah," Zong Chuke agreed. Seeing Wu Sansi's unhesitating expression, he hurriedly put away the panic and other cluttered thoughts in his heart.  He also understood that due to his relationship with Wu Sansi, he was tied to death when things got to this point. If Wu Sansi could not survive, he would also die.

    After his heart was shaken, Zong Chuke's mind came to his senses and he began to think quickly based on what Wu Sansi had said before.

    Not long after, he walked up to Wu Sansi and said, "King Liang, there are a few things that must be done as quickly as possible"

    "you say"

    Zong Chuke paced hurriedly and said hurriedly: "¡ª, King Liang immediately went to His Majesty's palace and urged Zhang Changzong to take action as soon as possible. Before His Majesty's news is finalized, tonight's events cannot be revealed at all. That's us.  Our own people can¡¯t say otherwise, otherwise there may be big changes¡­¡±

    Wu Sansi nodded solemnly when he heard this. He understood what Zong Chuke meant. Wu Zetian had been strong for too long and the pressure on people was too great. Even if she didn't die, even the cronies outside would not dare to rebel.  heart of.  In short, unless Wu Zetian dies, nothing can be done in the future, and it is even difficult for Wu Sansi to express his opinions within the party.

    After his expression changed again and again, Wu Sansi finally gritted his teeth and nodded.  When the situation developed to this point, whether he was willing to face it in person or not, he had to see Wu Zetian die in front of him.

    You die and I live, there is really no room for compromise.

    Ignoring the changes in Wu Sansi's face and the complexity of his mood.  Zong Chuke was completely immersed in his own thoughts, "Second, send someone out of the palace immediately and send a false edict to Luling Lou and Li Xian to enter the palace. We must control him firmly tonight. This person may be of great use"

      "Three - immediately send someone to capture Shangguan Wan'er. She is in charge of the emperor's edict and seal. These two things are indispensable"

    "Shu Ao reminded me that I will do it immediately" Wu Sansi called for someone to tell them these two things.

    Zong Chuke straightened his clothes and said, "It's almost an hour, Your Majesty, it's time to go to His Majesty's palace. If this goes well, it will be much easier to come back and take over the military power of the Divine Capital from King Jian'an.  Then the outside adults will contact the martial arts party and the clan all night long, and use the King of Luling and other members of the Li Tang clan to contain Di Renjie in order to appease the officials of the Li party. When things get to this point, we can expect to spread our wings in a big way!"

    Wu Wusi blew out a few thick breaths of respect and said, "Let's go"

    After the two came out, the officials who had just arrived came to ask about the reason for the summoning of the leaked liquid. Wu Sansi followed Zong Chuke's instructions just now, and did not miss a word even to his close followers, only to let everyone be safe.  I'll talk to you later.

    After simply sending these people away, Wu Sansi took only Zong Chuke to Wu Zetian's palace.

    The closer they walked, the slower Wu Sansi¡¯s steps became, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.  Zong Chuke, who was following him a step further away, was not much stronger than him, and his body was trembling slightly in the cold wind of the dark night.

    Getting closer and closer, Wu Sansi became more and more surprised and doubtful, "Why is there no movement inside?"

    "As long as Zhang Changzong takes action, no matter whether it succeeds or not, it shouldn't be so quiet inside.

    Stumping Zhang Changzong

    Wu Sansi's face instantly turned pale, and he hesitated immediately.

    At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the palace.

    Wu Sansi perked up and rushed forward. Because he rushed forward too hard, he tripped on the wide hem of the royal robe and fell suddenly.

    Without waiting for Zong Chuke to help him, Wu Sansi got up from the spot and rushed forward with all his strength.

    After entering the palace, Wu Sansi first stopped the guards who came after hearing the sound, and kept them on guard.

    The imperial guards tonight are all close associates of Yuan Wenbo. They had already received strict orders not to disobey King Jun of Liang, so they never disobeyed them.

    After rushing through two portals and splitting open a thick monofilament curtain with both hands, Wu Sansi finally saw the scene he had dreamed of.

    In this extremely gorgeously decorated palace, next to the lantern tree with dancing white cranes, Wu Meng, the founding empress of the Wu Zhou Empire, who had controlled the world for more than thirty years, was half on the couch and the other half of her body.  Hanging under the couch, there is no breath at all.

    The lamp tree is bright, illuminating everything on the couch.  It clearly illuminated the dripping blood on the floor beside the couch and an overturned animal-shaped incense burner, clearly illuminated Wu Zetian's sagging and wrinkled skin after taking off her makeup, and also clearly illuminated her white hair after taking off her wig (wig).  Without the pair of phoenix eyes that always contain the wind and thunder from the sky and dominate the world, at this moment, the age and fragility of the eternal empress are clearly revealed.

    After letting out a long breath, Wu Sansi was stunned.  No one knows what he is thinking at this moment, and no one knows how complicated his mood is at this moment.

    Amidst the loud noises, Zong Chuke drove out from a dark corner a little palace maid who was so frightened that she lost her soul.

    Wu Sansi did not look back. After Zong Chuke asked, he found out that this little palace maid was responsible for the duties of Chu Gong tonight. Such duties as hers could only be done in the most remote and dark corners. For this reason, she was actually allowed to do so.  Witnessed everything.

    First, Zhang Changzong's attendant dismissed all the palace attendants outside. Because the position of the little palace maid was too far and Zhang Changzong was too impatient, he actually missed her. She did not dare to move, and watched with bated breath as Zhang Changzong took it from outside.  A bowl of ruby ????(obtaining blood from a deer's forehead), watching Zhang Shiyu quietly turn his back and add something to the ruby ????jade.

    Speaking of this, recalling the previous scene, the little palace maid was so nervous that she almost died. It was not until Zong Chuke brought a bowl of cold water to her that she drank it.

    Then~~Afterwards, Zhang Shiyu presented the bowl of ruby ??to Wu Zetian on the couch, but for some reason, Wu Zetian, who clearly couldn't see Zhang Shiyu's movements, did not drink the ruby ??after taking it, but instead asked how much it was.  What sentence.

    Because the distance was too far, the little palace maid did not hear clearly what Wu Zetian asked. She only knew that Zhang Shiyu first took a few steps back and kept defending, and then he went crazy and picked up the side of the couch.  Not far away, a small auspicious animal incense burner hit the couch hard, once, twice

    When talking about the bloody killing in the candlelight, the little palace maid could no longer bear it, her head tilted and she fainted.

    Zong Chuke showed no mercy, took the copper basin and poured the water in it on the little palace maid, and then asked about the follow-up matter clearly.

      Not long after Zhang Changzong killed Wu Zetian alive, the door of the palace was suddenly knocked open from the outside. Shangguan Daizhao broke in with several strong palace servants. After seeing everything in the room, he immediately ordered people to catch Zhang Changzong.  After tying him up and trying to take away His Majesty's body, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside, so he hurriedly took Zhang Changzong away from the secret passage.

    Zong Chuke grabbed the naked little palace maid by her neck and asked, "Where is the secret passage?"

    The little palace maid stretched out her hand and pointed, and Zong Chuke immediately ran to check.

    No - Zong Chuke came back a while later and shook his head to Wu Sansi, indicating that the secret passage was too dark and crisscrossed inside, making it impossible to find anyone for a while.

    Then, Zong Chuke turned behind the little palace maid who was still slumped on the ground, stretched out his hands to strangle the delicate neck, and just a moment later, the little palace maid, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, died.  No more breath.

    After doing this, Zong Chuke clapped his hands and stood up, walked to Wu Sansi, and said in a high-spirited voice: "Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong had an affair. When they were not compatible, they were discovered by His Majesty. The two became treacherous and committed regicide.  The minister asked Liang Wang to immediately mobilize the imperial army to search for these two people"

    Wu Sansi nodded numbly, and when he was about to turn around stiffly, he was stopped by Zong Chuke, "Yuan Wenbo has been asked to handle this matter. King Liang should send someone to invite all your lords and King Jian'an here at this moment"

    At this time, Wu Sansi was feeling dizzy, as if he was fascinated by something.  Seeing this, Zong Chuke called out several times to no avail. He stamped his feet, turned around, picked up a broken cup of tea, poured it on Wu Sansi's face, and shouted sternly: "The great spread of wings is just around the corner, King Liang, wake up quickly!"

    After eating this herbal tea, she was stimulated, then drank it again, and Wu Sansi finally came to his senses.  After Zong Chuke whispered to him again, the two of them quickly got busy.

    First, Yuan Wenbo was found and ordered to strictly prohibit the defense of the inner palace again, and sent out capable troops to hunt down Shangguan Wan'er and Zhang Changzong. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy.

    At the same time, Zong Chuke was busy writing the imperial edict using the blank imperial edict temple seal found in Shangguan Wan'er's signature room.

    When these two things were completed, Wu Sansi's cronies and Jian'an King Wu Youyi also arrived.

    At first glance, many officials were stunned when they witnessed the murder scene in Wu Zetian's palace. For a long time, needles could be heard in the palace.

    When they finally woke up from this boundless shock, many of them looked at each other with blank expressions. What should they do if there is no Holy Emperor in the world and no Holy Emperor in the court?

    The sky is falling!

    Zong Chuke, who was standing by the side, winked at Wu Sansi and Wu Youyi, and then walked in front of the officials.

    He will complete the official work, and Wu Sansi can only take action on behalf of King Jian'an.

    Wu Sansi walked up to Wu Youyi, whose eyes were red, and sighed deeply. Just when he was about to speak, Wu Youyi looked over coldly, "You are so poisonous and so bold"

    With this sentence, Jiang Wu thought twice and was so angry that he couldn't say what he had originally planned.

    Wu Youyi closed his eyes and stopped looking at him, "You want military power? Now that I'm in your cage, you can just let Yuan Wenbo, a rebellious beast, go to my house to get the military talisman, but if you want me to help you plot rebellion,  I would rather die!"

    After saying that, Wu Youyi actually walked away, crying loudly as he walked, "The Wu clan will die without a place, die without a place!"

    Although Wu Sansi was full of resentment about this, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

    Yuan Wenbo was responsible for going to Jian'an Prince's Mansion to pick up the military talisman, Wu Sansi-dang was responsible for going out to the palace overnight to contact the important officials of the Wu Party, Zong Chuke was responsible for lobbying the Wu clan, and Wu Sansi personally went out to meet with Di Renjie with the King of Luling Li Xian, completing a series of threats and exploits.  Tao and compromise exchange.

    Just when everything was in place and Wu Sansi and his followers were feeling confident, suddenly a guard came to report to Yuan Wenbo, saying that the imperial army had entered the palace and was now approaching the emperor's palace. To fight or not to fight?
