    But it was already too late. Earth-shattering shouts suddenly broke out outside Xuanwu Gate: "Kill!" A thousand soldiers rushed towards the half-opened palace gate. The general on the gate shouted anxiously: "Hurry, city gate! Close it quickly."  City gate!" But no matter how hard the soldiers pushed the winch, the gate was blocked by the soldiers of the Yulin Army and could not move.  The Zhang brothers were stunned with shock and felt cold all over. "General, leave quickly!" More than a dozen close soldiers pushed them and ran away.  At this time, the south gate of the round wall city two hundred steps away also opened with a bang. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yulin Army waiting behind the gate shouted and fought out. The sound of horse hooves sounded loudly. Three thousand cavalry followed the soldiers and rushed out.  The general wearing a golden helmet waved his sword and shouted: "Whoever gets two heads will be rewarded a thousand taels!" The soldiers attacking Xuanwu Gate became even more crazy. The gate was finally pushed open completely, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army surged forward.  He entered and killed the Zhang brothers' fleeing backs.  Running to a long corridor, Zhonglang stretched Pei Kuan's bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow, hitting Zhang Yi's back. Zhang Yizhi screamed and fell to the ground. He grabbed Zhang Changzong and shouted: "Don't drop him."  Me!" Zhang Changzong kicked him over and fled towards the Changsheng Palace. Zhang Yizhi saw a large group of soldiers coming to kill him. He screamed and closed his eyes. Hundreds of soldiers rushed up and cut Zhang Yizhi into pieces with random blades. His head was killed.  A school captain snatched it away.  Taichu Palace has been completely lost. The Yulin Army and the Qianqiying Cavalry are divided into two groups. Li Zhen leads two thousand cavalry to attack the Changsheng Palace. Yang Yuanyan, Li Zhan, and Wu Yanji each lead three thousand Yulin Army soldiers to attack the East Palace. Zhang Changzong has already  Scared out of his wits, he ran frantically to the Palace of Eternal Life. He only had one thought: The Holy Spirit should wake up quickly and save his life.  In the darkness, the eunuch Xia Zhong came out of the palace and said, "General, the Holy One is over here!" Zhang Changzong stopped urgently and cursed: "Damn it, where is the Holy One?"  The cavalryman said anxiously: "Here!" He took out a roll of imperial edict, "This is the edict of the Holy One, it can save your life!" Zhang Changzong hurriedly stepped forward to grab the edict, but when he opened it, he saw that it was a piece of white paper. He suddenly  Stunned, at this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and saw that a dagger had been inserted into his chest. In front of him was Xia Zhong with a ferocious face. Xia Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "If I don't kill you, how can I  You can live!" He stabbed twice more ferociously, and the dagger penetrated Zhang Changzong's heart. Zhang Changzong screamed and fell to the ground dead. Xia Zhong cut off Zhang Changzong's head with trembling hands, and ran down the steps and shouted to the cavalry, "  General, I killed Zhang Changzong!" Dozens of cavalry rushed over in an instant and surrounded Xia Zhong. Li Zhen also rushed over. He looked at the head in Xia Zhong's hand and shouted.  His subordinates said: "Pass my order to surround the Changsheng Palace. No one is allowed to enter!" He turned his horse and led dozens of guards towards the East Palace. By this time, the battle between Mingde Gate and Yingtian Gate had ended.  Wu Yizong was chopped into pieces by the soldiers of the Yulin Army, and the other prison guards surrendered one after another.  Strange movements were also discovered in the East Palace. Zhang Li led four thousand internal guards to occupy Chongguang Gate and Guanghua Gate in the north, trapping Princess Taiping and her gang in the East Palace.  Until this moment, Princess Taiping still didn't know what happened. She had already heard the shouts of killing coming from the Taichu Palace. She guessed that there might be a fight between Li Zhen and the Zhang brothers. At this time, her heart felt cold.  He couldn't help but squeeze Gao Jian's hand.  At this time, tens of thousands of Yulin Army soldiers appeared densely on the surrounding palace walls, frightening the Taiping Palace warriors and retreating one after another. More than a thousand internal guard soldiers who originally supported Princess Taiping also defected to Zhang Li, a total of 16,700  The men surrounded the Taiping warriors, who numbered less than a thousand.  There was a creaking sound, and the Mingde Gate slowly opened. Hundreds of cavalry poured out from the palace, holding torches, illuminating the front of the Mingde Gate like daylight. The leader was General Li Zhen. Princess Taiping's mind was 'Buzzing!  ' With a sound, she knew that the second piece was finished. Princess Taiping asked with a trembling voice: "Is the general coming to greet me?" At this time, a clear voice came from behind Li Zhen, "Imperial sister, it's  I'm here to greet you." A man appeared from behind Li Zhen, and his appearance became more and more obvious in the firelight. Princess Taiping and everyone were stunned. No one could have imagined that King Li Xian of Luling would appear here.  "Brother Emperor, youdidn't you escape into Buddhism?" Li Xian smiled faintly, "If I hadn't escaped into Buddhism, how could my mother let me go? How could you let me go? Your Majesty, you were killed.  Chongrun, I have been waiting for this day for three years." Princess Taiping took a few steps back, her face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Huang, are you unwilling tolet me go?" Li Xian sighed, "Sister Huang, you.  Decide for yourself! ¡±  Princess Taiping turned her eyes to Li Zhen again, begging him to intercede for her, but Li Zhen avoided her eyes. King Luling had been waiting for this day for twenty years, how could he, Li Zhen, be the one to intercede?  Princess Taiping was desperate. She gritted her teeth and said, "It doesn't matter! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I accept it." She said loudly: "Brother, please allow me to put on makeup." Li Xian looked at her expressionlessly,  Without saying a word, Princess Taiping smiled miserably and said to Gao Jian, "Gao Lang, would you like to accompany me?" Gao Jian took a deep look at Li Zhen. Li Zhen nodded silently. Gao Jian looked up to the sky and laughed: "Life  We are already prime minister, no regrets!" He looked at Princess Taiping affectionately, "Princess, I will accompany you on your journey." The two held hands and turned to walk towards the palace. There was silence in the East Palace, and no one spoke.  Waiting on the ground, about a quarter of an hour later, a eunuch rushed out and said sadly: "Your Highness, the princess is gone!" Li Xianwei breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Yulin General Li Zhan and said coldly: "Ci Wu You  They will commit suicide and leave none of their children behind!" After saying that, Li Xian turned around and walked towards Taichu Palace. Li Zhen heard clearly, his eyes gradually became deeper. It was gradually approaching the third watch, and Li Xian left from the Palace of Immortality.  When he came out, he glanced at Li Zhen with complicated eyes and said to him in a low voice: "Your Majesty will let you in." Li Zhen quickly walked up the steps and walked into the ward. In front of Wu Zetian's bed sat Shangguan Wan'er.  , holding Wu Zetian's hand, when she saw Li Zhen come in, she immediately stood up and whispered: "Wan'er, go wait outside." She walked out quickly, leaving only Li Zhen and Wu Zetian on the hospital bed in the room.  "General, come here!" Wu Zetian said in a low voice.  Li Zhen stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "I am here to see your majesty." "I am no longer your majesty, the King of Luling is." Li Zhen lowered his head and said nothing. Wu Zetian sighed softly, "Injustice  Ah! I have been deceived by him for twenty years, and I thought he had really seen through the world." She glanced at Li Zhen, and then smiled: "Actually, I knew you joined the Xingtang Society, and I already knew your true identity.  The late Emperor told me that King Luo Bin fled to Dunhuang, and I knew that he was looking for you. " Li Zhen was shocked, and her heart was in chaos. In fact, she had known it for a long time, but she did not kill herself.  "Do you know why I don't kill you?" "I don't know!" "Because I know that today, I will either be a virgin or a prominent son. If the world is in chaos, as long as you are here, you will be the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty. Don't you  It will lead to chaos in the Tang Dynasty. This is the meaning of your existence." "Wei Chen has disappointed your majesty." Wu Zetian smiled again, "Prince Bahan should come to ask for help. Let me rest."  Zhen kowtowed and slowly retreated. He glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and stretched out his hand to her, but Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and turned around and walked into the ward.  Li Zhen looked at the dark night sky in the distance, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath. At this time, the melodious Tai Chi bell on the top of the Mingtang rang. The bell spread throughout the city. This was the bell that notified all officials to go to court urgently.  At that time, thousands of courtiers gathered in the Mingtang Hall, talking a lot, and everyone's eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement. Zhang Jianzhi was particularly proud that he finally became the first minister to support him. Of course, he knew that he still had Li Zhen.  One step ahead, but this does not prevent him from reaching the top of his life.  At this time, Zhang Jianzhi unexpectedly discovered that Li Zhen was not in the hall.  "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" Following the shouts of the guards outside the palace, three thousand armored soldiers of the Yulin Army escorted Emperor Li Xian of the Tang Dynasty and walked towards the Mingtang Hall. He wore a soaring crown and a nine-dragon imperial robe.  With a face like a crown jade and a majestic appearance, he quickly walked up to the main hall and sat high on the dragon throne.  "I see you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Li Xian waved his hands gently and said with a smile, "Everyone loves you!" At this moment, Li Xian suddenly felt a desire to dominate the world, and the Tang Dynasty would move forward from now on.  On track.  ? That night, King Li Xian of Luling ascended the throne as emperor, changed the name of the country to Shenlong, granted amnesty to the world, rewarded and conferred meritorious officials.  Li Dan was named the Prime Minister of Anguo, worshiped as Taiwei, acted as Prime Minister and knew the affairs of the country, and named the emperor's younger brother, making it clear that he was the heir to the throne. At this time, Li Dan had already mobilized troops in Taiyuan. When he heard that his brother had ascended the throne, he immediately disbanded the army.  , went to Beijing to express gratitude.  Li Xian also made Li Zhen the general of the Hussars, the king of Dunhuang, and the governor of Dunhuang.  Li Xian asked for resignation three times, but Li Xian refused.  Zhang Jianzhi was granted the title of King of Hanyang County, and his subordinates were servants, plusThere are three thousand households in the country.  The rest of the meritorious ministers were rewarded one by one, while the traitors were severely punished. The Zhang brothers were burned and their families were slaughtered. Wu Sansi, Wu Yizong, Wu Youyi and others were deprived of their titles and buried as common people.  As for Princess Taiping, Li Xian buried her as a princess and returned Gao Jian's body to her family, and her son raised her with kindness to show the emperor's great kindness.  Ten days later, the first empress Wu Zetian died in the Changsheng Palace at the age of 82. She was given the title of "Great Sage Emperor Zetian". Later, Li Xian followed her mother's order and changed her name to "Queen Zetian Great Sage" and was buried in the Qianling Mausoleum as the queen.  The late Emperor Gaozong was buried together.  Luoyang City, Chang'an City, and all over the country were decorated with lanterns and colors, and people were jubilant, singing and dancing for three days and three nights to celebrate the rebirth of the Tang Dynasty.
