Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 835 Chapter 854: Stormy Storm
Wu Zetian's face was gloomy when she heard the words. She doubted what He Yi said. After all, the sky was clear at noon yesterday, and Chang'an was less than a hundred miles away from Xianyang. She had never seen any cloudy clouds, let alone any divine thunder. Here comes Ray.

Although she was very skeptical, she couldn't find any other explanation. Such a huge tombstone really couldn't be destroyed without siege equipment, but the defense here is so tight, how could siege equipment get in.

"Could it really be the work of the divine thunder?" Wu Meiniang stared at the broken stele and murmured to herself, "It just so happened that when I ascended the throne, what does this indicate? Could it be that Li Hao was angry in the underworld, or was it God who gave me the power to kill me?" My warning..."

Wu Zetian suddenly felt regretful. She shouldn't be in such a hurry. Although she desperately wanted to become the emperor, she had been trying her best to restrain herself and wanted to delay it for a few more years. Let the people in this world get used to being controlled by her first. After they were all numb, it would not be too late to ascend the throne, but the Luoshui holy stone came too suddenly, which surprised her a little. Having ascended to the throne in this way, now that she has calmed down, she really regrets it, feeling that she was too impatient.

Wu Zetian paced back and forth in front of the broken tombstone. After a long time, he suddenly said in a cold voice: "I will pass on my order to reshape the tombstone for Li Hao immediately. This matter must not be publicized. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished!"

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly bowed to answer, no one dared to question her words, Wu Zetian's ruthless methods were still very frightening in court.

Wu Chengsi came to look for Liu Xuanji again, this time Wu Chengsi was smiling, of course he was happy, his aunt became the emperor, how can he not be happy, according to his understanding of his aunt, selfishness is so heavy, surely The throne will not be returned to the people of the Li family, otherwise, after the people of the Li family take power, they will definitely take revenge on their Wu family. There are only two descendants of Wu, he and Wu Sansi.

Wu Chengsi chatted with Liu Xuanji for a long time, brought up this topic, and then asked Liu Xuanji: "Sir, now that the overall situation has been settled, the only person who threatens my succession to the throne is Wu Sansi, please help me with a plan, how can I do it?" Killed Wu Sansi?"

Liu Xuanji smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "My lord, don't be impatient. I watched the stars last night and found that although the new emperor's star is bright, there are many stars around it competing with it. This is an unlucky sign."

"What?" Wu Chengsi pondered for a while when he heard the words, and said, "You mean, there are still people who want to take the throne of emperor?"

"Yes." Liu Xuanji nodded and said, "The country originally belonged to the Li family, but the Wu family suddenly took it, how could the Li family be willing to rest, if what the old man said is true, the news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, everywhere I'm afraid that the people of the royal family will start to rebel, and then recruit troops everywhere to accumulate strength, and within a year, someone will raise the flag to rebel."

Wu Chengsi was stunned when he heard the words, then smiled and said: "They are just a bunch of jumping clowns, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"My lord is wrong." Liu Xuanji said, "Although their strength is weak, they can still cause chaos in the world and the decline of national power. When the Hulu invade, the imperial court will be powerless to resist, and the huge country will be overthrown..."

Wu Chengsi frowned, and said in displeasure, "Sir, you must be alarmist. My imperial court is strong, how can a group of rebels disrupt it?"

Liu Xuanji said: "My lord does not know that under Emperor Taizong's rule, the country was prosperous and the people were safe. When Empress Wu came to court, the agricultural tax and commercial tax were increased, and the people's life was difficult. The people would naturally choose to support the Li Dynasty. The royal family raises the flag to rebel, and the responders are bound to gather. Even though Dong Zhuo is strong, didn’t he also lose to the eighteen princes?”

Wu Chengsi panicked when he heard the words, and shouted, "Didn't you say that the vision of the Luoshui holy stone can confuse people?"

Liu Xuanji said: "It's really bewitching people's hearts, otherwise how would Empress Wu ascend the throne?"

"But...but since they accepted our Wu clan as emperor, why did they rebel?"

Liu Xuanji said: "The common people are ignorant and like to follow the crowd. The so-called snake without a head can't do it. As long as someone takes the lead in instigating it, they will turn against the Wu family again based on their own interests. I hope you can understand the relationship between them."

Wu Chengsi said: "Then what should we do? They won't really succeed in their rebellion, right? Can Mr. Liu help us with a divination for the Wu family?"

Liu Xuanji shook his head and sighed: "After observing the astrology last night, the old man has already tried it. The matter involves imperial power and is related to heavenly secrets. Even if the old man sacrifices his life, it may be difficult to deduce it. My lord, forgive me."

"This...how can this be done!" Wu Chengsi said anxiously, "Sir, you must help our Wu family, you must help us..."

"My lord, please be quiet, I will wait for this old man to think about it." Liu Xuanji raised his hand to stop him, pretending to close his eyes and began to think.

After a long time, Liu Xuanji suddenly opened his eyes.

Wu Chengsi asked anxiously: "How? Is there a magic method?"

Liu Xuanji said: "There is no magic method, but there is a stupid method."

Wu Chengsi hurriedly asked: "What stupid way?"

Liu Xuanji said: "It's better to act first. Before the Li and Tang royal families are in the right place, let the emperor issue an order to summon them to Chang'an, and then catch them all in one go, so that there will be no future troubles!"

Wu Chengsi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, then clapped his hands and said: "Okay, it's a good way, let's do it like this, kill them all, and never have future troubles!"

Liu Xuanji suddenly closed his eyes pretentiously, and sighed: "Oh, this method is against the peace of heaven, it has nothing to do with the old man, it is the adults' own idea."

"Yes, this is my idea, it has nothing to do with Mr."

……

After Wu Chengsi left, Li Hao came out from the inner room, Liu Xuanji asked worriedly: "Uncle, is it really appropriate to do this?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "What's inappropriate?"

Liu Xuanji said: "Of course it's not appropriate, you have always been loyal to Li Tang, if all members of the royal family are killed, the cause and effect will fall on your head."

"Are they pigs?" Li Hao picked up a cherry from the fruit tray, put it in his mouth, and said slowly, "Wu Meiniang has become emperor, and she summoned them to Chang'an, obviously to harm them, and they will come here obediently." To die?"

Liu Xuanji thought about it, so he asked, "Then what is the purpose of your plan?"

"To force them to rebel." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "These royal family members may not all be loyal and passionate, maybe they will choose the side of Gouan, and it has nothing to do with them. Anyway, the throne has nothing to do with them, but if With the knife hanging over their heads, they will naturally struggle to resist, and raising the flag to rebel is the only way out."

Liu Xuanji frowned and said: "But with their strength, if they want to deal with Wu Meiniang, they will probably hit a stone with an egg."

Li Haodao: "It is also appropriate to describe it as falling with an egg. After all, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are too strong, but you don't have to worry. Isn't there another Yuan Tiangang? It won't be long before he will show up. Oh, by the way, I too It's time to get ready, first let Li Guocheng lead his troops to take Quanzhou, and fire the first shot of the rebellion!"

On the first day of the first lunar month, Wu Chengsi entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Wu Zetian. After all, it was his aunt who came. After the greetings, he unexpectedly presented a memorial.

When Wu Zetian saw the memorial, he waved his hands and shook his head, saying, "Today is New Year's Day, you are here to pay New Year's greetings, and don't talk about government affairs."

Wu Chengsi immediately knelt down on the ground, held up the melody with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, this melody is extremely important, please read it!"

Seeing this, Wu Zetian knew that it must be no small matter, so in desperation she asked someone to submit the memorandum. After she opened it and looked at it, her eyes suddenly opened wide. If this memorandum could be summed up in one word, it would be - "Kill! "

Wu Chengsi asked Wu Zetian to play Wu Zetian and summoned all members of the royal family to "enter Chang'an, Huiming Hall, and perform the Grand Ceremony" within a time limit. In fact, this was just an excuse, and the actual purpose was to kill them all.

He also explained the reason in the memorandum, because these members of the royal family must not accept Wu Zetian's proclaiming the emperor, and they must secretly accumulate power to rebel. Wu's characteristics.

After Wu Zetian finished reading the memorandum, she frowned and pondered. After a long time, she suddenly asked Wu Chengsi: "You wrote this memoir yourself? No one taught you?"

Wu Chengsi was shocked when he heard the words, but she didn't expect that she could see it, and hurriedly said: "It was written by the minister himself, and there is no one to teach the minister."

Wu Zetian nodded slowly. She found that Wu Chengsi seemed to have grown a lot, and the analysis in the memorandum was very thorough. Although there were people from the royal family in Chang'an, these people were all under her nose, and all of them had been cut off. There is no threat to the display, but the group of royal families who have gone to their respective fiefdoms is different. If they secretly recruit soldiers and confuse people as the royal family, the sky is far away from the emperor, she really can't control it, and has to guard against it.

Wu Zetian thought for a long time, and decided to issue an imperial edict immediately, summoning all the royal family of the Li family to "enter Chang'an, Huiming Hall, and perform the grand ceremony".

On the third day of the first lunar month, countless people dispatched separately, went to the fiefdoms of various vassals to preach the decree, and even a group of people went to Qiongnan to summon Li Hong, after all Li Hong is also the prince.

When Li Hao heard about this, he secretly dispatched Flying Eagles to follow the group of people all the way, and soon after they entered the Lingnan territory, they were all secretly dealt with.

The feudal lords all over the country have heard about Wu Meiniang's proclaiming emperor. Some people were angry, some sighed secretly, and their behaviors were different. However, when Wu Meiniang's imperial decree arrived, everyone expressed the same emotion, anger, and everyone was not the same. A fool, even if he is a fool, the staff and counselors beside him are not fools, can't they see Wu Meiniang's conspiracy, this is to catch them all.

Coincidentally, a rebellion broke out in Quanzhou, and the descendants of Qiongnan King Li Hao suddenly captured Quanzhou and raised the banner of opposing Wu Meiniang. As a result, almost all the vassal kings left the summoned teams permanently in their fiefs , Then raised the banner of rebellion, listed Wu Meiniang's major crimes, vowed to take back Li Tang's country, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world.

Because Bashu is far away, and the roads are difficult, the road to Shu is difficult. Yizhou was the last one to receive the edict. In the mansion of King Li Ke of Wu, the group of people were announcing the edict, but the edict was only half announced, and the head of the person who announced the edict suddenly flew away. When he got up, all the guards outside also fell to the ground, and were killed instantly.

Li Ke, King of Wu, was taken aback when he saw this, and saw Yuan Tiangang standing in front of him, the sword in his hand was still dripping blood, he suddenly said happily: "Military division? Is the time ripe?"

"Yes." Yuan Tiangang smiled slightly, put his sword back into its sheath, and said, "Your Highness, after waiting for so many years, we can finally rebel against the law!"

At this time, an old general in armor and gray beard walked into the hall, bowed his hands and saluted Li Ke: "Your Highness, all the decree delivery teams outside the gate have been dispatched. The [-] troops have been practicing for many years and are on standby at any time!"

"General Hou has worked hard!" Li Ke nodded vigorously, his face full of excitement.

The old general in front of him turned out to be Hou Junji!
