Great Tang princess

Li Yuechen was not surprised that mother guessed her secret.

Still the same sentence, after all, this is the wise and unparalleled female emperor. I know that there must be something wrong with the things I have done over the years, and what I usually say.

I just didn't expect her to ask directly.

But since everyone has spoken, it doesn't matter if they talk about it.

So she replied with a smile: "For me, it is a past life, but for Datang, it should be a future life."

"Later generations?" Wu Zetian seemed a little confused.

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "That's right, after more than 1000 years!"

"But since it's a thousand years later, how did you come here?" Wu Zetian was puzzled by this.

"I don't know, but according to the theory of later generations, it may be that something called a 'wormhole' passed through invisibly, so I came to the time point of my birth." Li Yuechen replied.

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows: "What is that?"

"A theory put forward by a scientist... Oh, in later generations, high-level talents in different fields are called scientists."

Wu Zetian didn't seem to be interested in this aspect, so he asked instead: "When Chen'er was born, he didn't speak for three years. Since he has memories of his previous life, he must be able to speak..."

"It's just that A Niang misunderstood. It's just that the official language of later generations is different from this time, so I couldn't understand it at first."

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing.

This can be regarded as self-explanatory, Wu Zetian nodded slightly, and then asked: "Since he is a person of later generations, he probably knows about the fate of the Tang Dynasty. What happened after the Tang Dynasty?"

"Forehead……"

Speaking of this topic, Li Yuechen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Originally, she was not a person who liked to study history, so she really didn't know much about it.

So I can only tell the truth: "This... A Niang doesn't know something. At the beginning, I was not a person who likes to study history. I can only say that I know about the things that followed in Tang Dynasty..."

"Probably, let's talk about it." Wu Zetian raised his chin, let himself lean on a big futon, and got ready to listen to the story.

"The Great Tang Dynasty seems to have lasted for hundreds of years, and then it became a dynasty named 'Song'; then Mongolia...that is, the Turkic people today established the Yuan Dynasty; and was later defeated by a man named Zhu Yuanzhang , established the Ming Dynasty; and later..."

Li Yuechen roughly told the history of the dynasty changes that he knew.

At the same time, he also explained in detail the era he was in, and his identity before coming here.

After listening to her overview, Wu Zetian was a little puzzled: "How did the Tang Dynasty die in the end?"

"I don't know the details, but according to the historical records of later generations, it seems that after Tang Minghuang, the Tang Dynasty began to turn from prosperity to decline..."

"Tang Minghuang? Who is it? Is it Chongrun or..."

Li Yuechen smiled: "It's that kid Li Longji. But don't worry, Auntie. Now that there is such a change like me, history has changed, and he won't be the emperor anymore."

"Then how did he come to the position?"

"This... I don't know. After all, I don't specialize in this..."

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen also felt a little helpless, then got up and poured a cup of tea for his mother.

Although I have regretted it many times since I came here, I knew I should study history well.

Today I thought of this topic again in my heart. I knew that I should really study history!

It's just that it's meaningless to say these things now, and it can only be emotional at certain specific moments.

"Then...how did the history books of later generations record me?" Wu Zetian asked.

Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "I thought Aunt would be able to resist asking."

"Stop teasing me, tell me!" Wu Zetian gave her an angry look.

"Eh... I really can't answer this question." Li Yuechen smiled a little embarrassedly, "I said before that I have no interest in history and rarely study it. Therefore, I don't know much about A Niang's records. I just remember history There is a similar sentence in the textbook that 'contributed a lot to the development of future generations'..."

This is also something that can't be helped. In order to prevent my mother from getting sullen, Li Yuechen didn't mention her vicious image in later TV dramas.

This answer left Wu Zetian speechless, and he didn't know what kind of emotion to think about this matter.

……

For the next period of time, Li Yuechen would come to Shangyang Palace every day to chat with his mother and talk about some things in the future.

And her physical condition is also deteriorating.

The other children also come here often, and they can see that her time seems to be running out.

Fortunately, Wu Zetian himself was quite happy during this period of time. When he was dying, the children were by his side, and this life was considered complete.

During the period, Li Chongrun brought his newborn son to visit several times, although he didn't have too much affection for this grandmother.

But that's because there are too few meetings, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and family affection is still very important.

It is also worth mentioning that Wu Zetian named his great-grandson Li Xiangyang.

Li Yuechen, who heard this name, was thinking in his heart whether he should make two pistols for this grandnephew in the future, otherwise he would be sorry for the name.

……

On the third day of June, the children gathered in Shangyang Palace and surrounded Wu Zetian's window.

A few days ago, Wu Zetian, who was eating, suddenly fainted. After Liu Shenwei checked, he said that there was no time, and it was only a few days.

So for the past few days, the children stayed in Shangyang Palace every day, and Li Xian didn't go to court, so he lived in Shangyang Palace with his brothers and sisters, taking turns to take care of his mother every day.

At this moment, the children were all gathered around the bed, looking at the mother who had no strength to open her eyes again, with a sad expression on her face.

Li Xian's eyes were red and he kept choking, holding his mother's hand and weeping in a low voice.

Wu Zetian, whose eyes were closed, did not fall asleep, shook his son's arm lightly, and murmured, "Okay, we are all emperors now, why are you crying!"

"Aniang, I've taught brother a lesson for the rest of my life, let him do it this time." Li Yuechen said softly.

"Okay, let him..." Wu Zetian murmured to himself.

Then he gently waved his other hand, and Zhang Chengxin tremblingly took out a scroll, and handed it to Li Xian respectfully.

"Auntie, this is..."

"Let's take a look at Yizhao!" After saying that, Wu Zetian took a deep breath.

Li Yuechen took it and opened it, and other people gathered around to check it.

The content of the posthumous edict is very simple, to remove the title of emperor, not to build another imperial tomb after death, and to be buried in Qianling with Emperor Gaozong as a queen.

After reading it, Li Xian nodded solemnly to his mother: "Don't worry, Ma'am, the child obeys!"

"Um……"

Wu Zetian nodded slightly: "With you here, there is nothing to worry about as a mother. Under the nine springs, I won't feel guilty when I see your grandfather."

Hearing this sentence, the children couldn't help crying.

Li Dan knelt in front of the bed and wept uncontrollably, and Li Xian and Li Yuechen behind him also wept silently.

"You guys, don't need to be sad because of this. Being able to watch you grow up is already the happiest thing in my mother's life... The only one I'm sorry for is Hong'er..."

I don't know if she has seen the revolving lantern, but she talked about many things in the past with a voice like a mosquito screaming.

Li Yuechen and the others didn't speak, they just listened to her while weeping.

Gradually, her low voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

This state didn't last long, only a few minutes, and finally the lips stopped moving.

When Li Xian found out that the power in his mother's hands had completely disappeared, he couldn't help crying.

The crying was so sad that it could be clearly heard even outside the hall.

The empress who left a strong mark in history finally died in eternal sleep.

……

The news of the death of the Supreme Emperor quickly spread throughout the court, and when he went to court the next day, all officials put on mourning clothes.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Xian's eyes were still a little red and swollen. He didn't speak, but waved his hands to ask Sun Jingbang to proclaim.

The content of the edict is very simple. According to the edict of Emperor Zetian Dasheng, he will be removed from the title of Emperor and changed to the title of Empress Zetian Dasheng.

Since he was no longer the emperor, the funeral was not according to the emperor's specifications. The coffin was sent back to Chang'an, and the Qianling Mausoleum was reopened to be buried with the emperor.

This move caused many officials to express their opposition.

The reason is very simple. After the emperor's mausoleum was built, it was completely sealed, and there was no reason to reopen it.

Opening the emperor's mausoleum is considered very unlucky, so many people expressed their opposition on the spot.

Li Xian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, only felt an unknown fire. He slapped the cushion hard, stood up and shouted: "Speaking of it, this is a state matter. There is nothing wrong with the emperor and empress being buried together! To the novel, this is me." The Li family's family affairs! Why do you need outsiders to intervene?!"

Just such a sentence directly suppressed all the opposing voices.

The matter was settled like this, and the others dared not speak any more.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, the news of the death of the Supreme Emperor was published in the newspaper, along with the content of the will and the emperor's decision to abide by it.

Many people among the people expressed some emotion for the passing of the queen.

Because in the eyes of the common people, it was actually after the queen came to power that life got better and better.

Therefore, many ordinary people spontaneously went to Taoist temples and temples to pray for Emperor Daxing.

Although the newspaper has already said that she will go to the emperor's title and be buried as a queen.

But in the hearts of many common people, she is the undisputed emperor, and she can bear the name of a great emperor!
This kind of grand occasion among the people also made some people in the court who wanted to jump up and down obediently dare not speak.

The main reason is that the public has such a high reputation. If you dare to stand up and deny some of the original policies at this time, and then publish them in newspapers, you will be a sinner through the ages!

So no one dared to speak at such a time, and could only obediently let the situation develop.

……

The next day, Li Xian sent several trucks to transport his mother's coffin back to Chang'an.

The task of escorting was handed over to Qianniuwei, and the eldest princess Li Yuechen was responsible for escorting the coffin.

At the same time, there were also a large number of engineers on the car. Qianling was built by Qianniuwei engineers at the beginning. Now that it is going to be opened again, of course the designers and engineers at that time need to come and look at it.

Of course, it wasn't just Li Yuechen who went back this time, including the emperor Li Xian, and several other children who were going back to see their mother for the last time.

Even the two princesses Xuancheng and Yiyang are among them, although they are not biological.

But in these years, Wu Zetian at least fulfilled his promise and completely treated the two of them as his own daughters.

On weekdays, there were never any shortage of various rewards, so the two decided to go back and follow them for a ride.

There were a total of ten trucks accompanying them this time. Apart from the emperor, engineers, etc., there was also a whole battalion of soldiers responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor.

Not to mention that with Li Yuechen around, there is absolutely no need to worry about safety issues.

This is also the reason why none of the ministers objected. After all, with the combat power of Qianniuwei today, there are a lot of artillery and grenades, plus Princess Zhenuo herself.

Even if there are tens of thousands of troops, they may not be able to fight all of them, not to mention that in today's era, if any big family can gather tens of thousands of dead soldiers... that is a complete joke, and it is impossible.

……

After the truck started, it was very fast, and the surrounding scenery kept receding.

But Li Xian and others obviously didn't have the heart to appreciate it, and were still immersed in the grief of their mother's death.

In less than three hours, ten trucks arrived at Qianling from Dongdu.

At the foot of the Qianling Mausoleum, after getting off the car, Li Yuechen looked at the sky and announced that he would set up camp in the same place and escort the coffin up the mountain tomorrow morning.

The soldiers agreed and set up camp quickly.

The Li Xian brothers gathered in the middle of the camp, chatting casually, recalling the memories of when their mother was alive.

The engineers and soldiers have already started to work, lighting up the kerosene lamps, which almost illuminate the entire mountain.

Because the queen will be buried early tomorrow morning, it will be too late to start tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuechen and his brothers followed the huge bronze coffin into the tomb and watched as their mother's coffin was placed next to their father.

Li Yuechen gently wiped the dust on Li Zhi's coffin, and said softly: "Grandpa, Grandma is here to accompany you..."

The others had already stood where they were, weeping uncontrollably...

……

After coming out of the tomb, the brothers strolled in the square outside.

Seeing that the engineers and soldiers were building the same roof next to the old father's monument, Li Xian wiped away his tears, turned around and asked, "Yuechen, how do you engrave the inscription on the monument?"

Li Yuechen looked back and replied: "Not a single word!"

"Why?" Li Dan couldn't help asking.

Several other people also looked puzzled, not knowing why my sister made this decision.

And Li Yuechen looked at the clouds in the sky, and said softly: "Grandpa and Auntie, husband and wife are one. They have seen too many scenery together, and experienced too much wind and rain together. Auntie is the first queen in all ages. , is too magnificent, and must be full of legends. So... her merits and demerits, leave it to future generations to comment on!"

Hearing the younger sister's answer, the brothers and sisters looked at each other and nodded.

Indeed, her life was so special that a small stone tablet could not explain it in detail.

Her story, or left to future generations to comment on it. (end of this chapter)
