    Shocking news came from the north.  The two Turkic tribes Ashtwenfu and Ashina who served under the Shanyu Duhufu rebelled and worshiped Ashina as khan. The chiefs of the twenty-four states under the Shanyudufu all responded to Ashtwenfu.  , Ashina responded to the call of duty, and rebelled together. At one time, the number of rebels numbered hundreds of thousands, and several newly established border cities were occupied by Turkic rebels.  The urgent military report from the north came like snow flakes, the court was shaken by it, and Wu Zetian was also furious. She immediately ordered Li Xian to summon the ministers to discuss countermeasures.  She had not listened to the government behind the curtain for a long time, and on the grounds that important military matters could not be delayed, she sat behind the curtain to listen to the government again and personally asked the ministers about their plans.  "Dear dear ministers, the Turks in the Shanyu Protectorate have rebelled, and the rebels have gathered hundreds of thousands in a short period of time. Today the Queen Mother and I have convened the ministers to discuss the matter. How do you think the court should respond?" The throne  Li Xian, who was on the throne, threw the issue to be discussed to His Highness's ministers with a serious face, asking them to express their opinions and discuss the matter.  As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Shangshu Zuopu She Pei Xingjian, who was standing at the head of the palace, immediately walked out of the train, saluted Li Xian respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, there is chaos in the north and the Turks are rebelling. I feel that the court should immediately  Form a large army and attack the rebels! There are less than 30,000 border guards under the control of Shanyu Dufu, and there are still many border guards to guard. They are unable to suppress the rebellion of the Turks, so we must send another large army to suppress the rebellion! I am willing to lead the army to go on an expedition! " Pei Xingjian  After standing up to perform the memorial, Shangshu's right servant Liu Rengui also stood up immediately and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, I second the proposal! What Pei Pushe said is very reasonable. The border troops under the jurisdiction of the Duhufu alone are not enough to quell the rebellion.  The imperial court should immediately form a counter-rebellion army to fight against the Turkic rebellion! Although I am old, I am still willing to lead the army!" Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui, the two most prestigious people in the court, said so. Those who originally had different opinions  People suddenly didn¡¯t dare to stand up.  Those who held similar opinions successively stood up to express their support or passionately expressed their opinions, asking the court to immediately form a crusade army and go out to quell the rebellion. There were many military generals, including the former Turkic general Youwuwei General Ashi.  Na Daozhen, Qibi Ming and other former Turkic generals who returned to the court and were appointed General Wei, the right leader of the inspection school, asked for orders to go out to quell the Turkic rebellion.  At this time, these Turkic generals must stand up and express their stance. The tribes they originally led or the tribes nearby rebelled.  If they didn't express their opinions, they would be considered as sympathizing with or even supporting the rebellion. They couldn't bear such a "crime"! The ministers who stood up to express their support for the counter-insurgency occupied most of the ministers discussing matters in the Xuanzheng Hall, and for a while, the entire hall was occupied.  It seemed that the public sentiment was very passionate, and there were a lot of civil servants and military generals requesting orders to go out.  The newly ascended emperor Li Xian obviously did not expect this to happen.  He was actually a little frightened and looked at His Highness's ministers at a loss.  Then he looked at Wu Zetian sitting behind the curtain as if asking for help.  Wu Zetian looked at His Highness and his ministers taking turns asking for orders without any strange expression.  She also didn't make any explicit statement to Li Xian. In addition to wanting to see the continued reactions of the ministers, she also wanted to wait and see how Li Xian would deal with this important matter and whether he would, at the request of the ministers,  When His Highness made up his mind, he formed a large army to fight against the Turkic rebellion.  Faced with the requests from ministers to serve in the palace.  Wu Zetian made no statement, and Li Xian on the throne had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to preside over the court meeting.  "My beloved ministers have all requested a battle. Naturally, I cannot dissuade them all, but this matter is of great importance. I will have to discuss with the Queen Mother before I can make a decision!" Li Xian could only express his position like this,  In this way, the petitions from the ministers will be passed away, and Wu Zetian will not think that he made a decision in private, which angered his mother who will definitely use something to deal with him next.  However, just when Li Xian was glad that he had found a perfect strategy that could block the ministers' petitions without offending his mother, and was preparing to announce the final decision at the court meeting after discussing with Wu Zetian and reaching a conclusion,  Wu Zetian, who was behind the curtain, spoke up: "The emperor's words are wrong! The rebellion has been happening for many years, how can it be solved any longer? Since today we have summoned the ministers to discuss the matter, there must be a result. How can  Can you make a decision later? " Wu Zetian reprimanded Li Xian in the palace, which surprised His Highness's courtiers, but her words relieved many anxious ministers. Of course, they didn't want this matter to be pushed back as it was so urgent today.  When the government convened ministers to discuss the rebellion of the Turks in the north, it was natural to discuss the outcome and not discuss it in a few days.  Some people were a little disappointed with Li Xian. Such a major military and national event had to be pushed back, instead of discussing the results in front of the palace. The newly ascended emperor was indeed an incapable master, similar to his father, and even worse.  , I really don¡¯t know where he will lead the Tang Dynasty in the future! Of course, Li Xian was startled by Wu Zetian¡¯s words, and he immediately sat up straight, with sweat on his face. He wanted to reach out and wipe it, but he felt something was wrong.  Want to goThen he stood up from the throne and bowed respectfully to Wu Zetian behind the curtain: "Your Majesty, I have never presided over such an important court meeting. I don't know how to make a decision. Please ask the Queen Mother to preside over today's meeting."  Court meeting!" Li Xian's actions shocked the courtiers even more. Some ministers wanted to stand up and express their dissent, but after hearing Li Xian's request again, they stopped the idea.  Wu Zetian did not refuse. After Li Xian requested again, he also stood up from behind the curtain, walked to the stage, stood facing the ministers, and said loudly: "My dear friends, there is chaos in the north, and the court cannot sit back and watch the chaos in the north.  But indifferent, since all your beloved ministers have suggested that the court immediately form a large army to fight against the rebels, and I feel that I cannot let it go, then Your Majesty should make up his mind to form a large army to fight against the Turks!" She said the next words towards the person standing beside her.  Li Xian said.  "Yes, Queen Mother!" Li Xian agreed respectfully. After Wu Zetian announced the decision, and stood back a little, he stepped forward, took a deep breath, and announced very seriously: "The Turks are acting against nature.  When the late emperor passed away, he rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. This matter cannot be tolerated. Even if all the officials proposed to send a large army to quell the rebellion, the Queen Mother supported this proposal, so I will announce that the imperial court will form a large army to attack the Turkic rebels!" Li  Xian's words were quite impressive, which made some ministers who were temporarily disappointed with him brighten their eyes and secretly praise him, but then Li Xian's performance was disappointing again.  After Li Xian announced the order with great momentum, he respectfully asked Wu Zetian for instructions: "Mother, who do you think would be better to send to lead the army?" Although there is nothing inappropriate about Li Xian asking Wu Zetian, but Li Xian  The demeanor he showed during the inquiry made people feel very unbearable, and he did not have the aura of an emperor at all.  And if this is the case, you should also ask the ministers and ask who is willing to ask for orders to go out.  ¡°The ministers have just asked for orders one after another, but after the emperor makes a decision, he will definitely ask again.  Wu Zetian glanced at Li Xian, but did not answer him, but took a step forward, walked to the front of the palace, glanced at the ministers, and then said loudly: "My dear friends, how do you think this battle should be fought?  Yes, who should be sent to lead the army?" Wu Zetian's appearance as the emperor gave orders no longer surprised the ministers. It would be best to settle this important matter first.  As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, Pei Yan stood up first.  "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, I recommend that Shangshu Zuopu She Pei Gong lead the army to the expedition!" Pei Yan, who stood in front of the palace, said unhurriedly: "Pei Pu She has been guarding the border in Anxi for many years, and has fought with the Turks and Tubo people.  There have been many battles and I am very experienced in how to deal with the Turks. I feel that Pei Pushe should lead the army to go out. Before our army arrives, the Turkic rebels will get wind of it and surrender!" After Pei Yan finished speaking, Li Jingxuan followed suit.  After he came out, he also recommended Pei Xingjian to lead the army to the expedition.  Seeing Pei Yan and Li Jingxuan standing up to recommend him to lead the army in the battle, Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately stepped forward and asked for orders to go to the battle! His Highness's situation made Chen Yi feel a little unusual, although he also felt that Pei Xingjian would lead the army in this battle.  It was very appropriate to go on an expedition. There were few people in the DPRK who were more famous and had better military strategies. Pei Xingjian led the expedition to quell the rebellion. The rebels were sure to be wiped out soon, but two ministers who were highly valued by Wu Zetian, Pei Yan and Li Jingxuan, stepped forward.  It is a bit unusual to strongly recommend Pei Xingjian to go on an expedition! These are extraordinary times. As the leader of hundreds of officials, Pei Xingjian is really not suitable to lead an army. Pei Yan and others must have a special purpose for this proposal.  "Since both Pei Qing and Li Qing recommended Shangshu Zuopu She Pei Qing to lead the army on the expedition, and Pei Qing also asked for orders to go on the expedition, I would suggest that Your Majesty appoint Shangshu Zuopu She Pei Qing as the leader of the expedition!" Wu Zetian  He spoke calmly to Li Xian beside him, then walked back behind the curtain and sat down again.  "Yes, Queen Mother!" Li Xian agreed, walked back to the throne, and immediately announced: "According to my decree, the imperial court organized an army to go north to quell the rebellion, and appointed Shangshu Zuopu She Pei Xingjian as the leader of this expedition!" This  Two days after the next court meeting, the imperial court issued an edict to set out to march, and established the Dingxiang Road Marching Department. Shangshu Zuopu She Pei Xingjian was appointed as the general manager of the Dingxiang Road Marching Department to control the armies.  Liu Shenli, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is the deputy general manager and the general manager of the Shanyu Road march. Honglu Qing and Shanyu Duhufu Shi Xiao Siye are the deputy general manager and the general manager of the Dingxiang Road march. With the right military guards, Ashina Daozhen,  General Mangbuzhi of the right leading army guard, General Li Xiaoyi of the left Qianniu Guard, General Cao Huaishun of the left Jinwu Guard, and Cheng Wuting, the general of the right Wuwei Zhonglang, served as sub-generals and commanded 100,000 troops to attack the Turkic rebellion.  In order to prevent the surrendered tribes in the Anxi, Andong, and Xining major military governors from revolting after receiving news of the Turkic rebellion in the north, the imperial court issued an emergency edict to the major military governors to gather troops and strictly prevent the surrendered tribes within the governorates.  The tribe responds to the rebellion, and if there is any abnormality, they will immediately attack it.  At the same time, the imperial court also sent a message to the leaders of various tribes, ordering them to follow the garrisons of our major military governors to jointly combat rebellion and maintain peace.??Stable, anyone who disobeys will be severely punished!
