I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

"In the second year of Xianqing, the Tang Emperor sent five thousand elite Tang troops from Xinluo County of the Tang and Wei Kingdoms, crossed the sea into Japan, occupied the Yinjian Mountains, and explored the giant silver mines."

"In the same year, the general of the Yili Dao Marching Army of the Tang Dynasty attacked and destroyed the Western Turks; the leader of the Tang and Wu Kingdoms, Li Ke, sent troops to wipe out the last Tubo tribe on the plateau, and Tubo was destroyed; the leader of the Tang and Qin Kingdoms, Li Chengqian, sent troops to attack the Huihe, and won every victory. The Huihe begged for mercy and peace, and the Tang and Qin Dynasties Occupy [-]% of the fertile pastures in Uihe to develop livestock."

"This year, the Tang Dynasty has really attacked from all sides, punching all over the world and kicking all corners of the world. It is really invincible in the world..."

In the library pavilion, the middle-aged scholar was sorting out the books, sighing with emotion as he read them.

In the second year of Xianqing, the total mobilization force of Tang Dynasty and its branch states was more than 70!

unprecedented!

From ancient times to the present, only the Tang Dynasty could produce these 70 waterless elites.

Although I did not personally participate in those wars, just reading the files can make people's blood boil and make them feel proud.

"In the fourth year of Xianqing, Japan became greedy and launched a sneak attack on the garrison in the Yinjian Mountains. The Tang army suffered heavy casualties. The emperor was furious and sent 15 troops. Together with the 20 troops of the Tang and Wei Dynasties, a total of [-] troops crossed the sea from Silla County in June. Landing in Japan, we marched to nine cities in seven days. The Japanese leader was timid and asked for peace, but the emperor refused and ordered to occupy the entire territory of Japan!"

"Okay! That's how it should be! No wonder grandpa hates the Japanese so much and calls them little devils. These Japanese are indeed unrighteous. They must be killed until their souls are gone!"

When the middle-aged scholar saw this, he couldn't help but pat his thigh and praise him.

"In the second year of Longshuo, the Tang army captured the capital of Japan and captured the king, his family members and ministers. In the third year of Longshuo, the Tang army occupied the entire territory of Japan, and the Japanese kingdom was destroyed."

"Tsk, tsk, even though there are only a few words in this file, it is enough to make me imagine how powerful the Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty was at that time! They are invincible at the point of their soldiers..."

wow.

He did not stay too long on the Japanese scrolls, because for the powerful Tang Empire, the destruction of an overseas island country was nothing.

Next, is the main event.

"In the second year of Linde, the Tang army entered the Western Regions and stationed troops in Dayuan and Khotan. In the first year of Qianfeng, a 30-strong army was sent to attack the Kushan Empire. In the first year of Zongzhang, it was destroyed and all the countries in the Western Regions were conquered."

"In the third year of Xianheng, the Anxi, Tiaozhi, and Kangju kingdoms were destroyed. The Tang Dynasty took control of the entire Western Region, and its military front pointed towards the Qin Dynasty in the north and Tianzhu in the south!"

"This expansion has really never stopped... We have reached all the way to Daqin. Isn't this too far? It took me ten years to start from Moyu Mountain. I don't know if I can get there..."

The middle-aged scholar murmured and continued to read the files.

"In the first year of Yifeng, the Tang Emperor declared war with Da Qin; in the same year, the Tang army from the south invaded Tianzhu, and the Tang Emperor ordered Yong Wang Li Sujie to go and establish a feudal state."

"In the second year of Yonglong, the Tang army defeated the Qin Dynasty in nine times; the following year, the South Road occupied the entire territory of Tianzhu."

"In the first year of Kaiyao, the Tang army occupied half of the territory of Qin Dynasty and stopped the war. The Emperor of Tang ordered Qi King Li Shangjin to establish a feudal state."

The middle-aged scholar opened the book and found that he had turned to the last page.

"The reason for stopping the war should be that the late emperor was seriously ill and there were changes in the palace, so he extinguished the country's weapons."

He whispered to himself,

"The late emperor passed away in the second year of Yongchun. He was indeed terminally ill in the second year of Kaiyao. The king and queen were in charge of the government, so naturally he changed his mind and reduced his troops."

"After the death of the late emperor, Prince Li Xian succeeded to the throne, but the power of the government was actually controlled by the Queen Mother. However, in just one year, the emperor was deposed and Li Dan was appointed emperor. However, the Queen Mother continued to control the government. From then on, the Tang Dynasty Entering the era when the Queen Mother came to power, the military contracted across the board, the Qin Dynasty recovered a lot of lost territory, and Tianzhu also had a tendency to rebel. The government was also in chaos."

"Tsk tsk... Si Chen, the hen, the world is not at peace."

A generation of heroes has fallen, and the successor is not his son, but his queen!

What is surprising is that this queen was still Taizong's Zhaoyi. Legally speaking, she was still the late emperor's concubine!
From the late emperor's concubine to the late emperor's concubine, and then through a series of struggles, the real king and queen were replaced, which is called "replacing the king with the king" in the files.

After that, he gradually became involved in government affairs. In his later years, Emperor Gaozong already monopolized power and had party members all over the country!
This is also the reason why she deposed the emperor and took control of the dynasty.

"I am extremely good at palace fighting, power manipulation, and conspiracy; but I am a mess in governing the country, military affairs, and economy." The middle-aged scholar shook his head and sighed,

"I don't know what kind of trouble this world will be caused by her. The foundation that Taizong and Gaozong have worked so hard to build will be defeated by her, right?"

"Hey... forget it. Where there is great order, there will be great chaos, which is in line with the principles of Yin and Yang. It has nothing to do with me if I don't want to do this."

He was about to close the file and turn around to go out, but he heard footsteps coming from outside.

Da-da, da-da.

"Mountain Master, many princes from the royal family came to pay homage to the mountain, as well as many ministers from Chang'an and the local area. They all couldn't afford to kneel outside the mountain gate!"

The servant saluted outside the house and asked,

"Would you like to entertain me?"

The middle-aged scholar frowned.

"What's there to entertain? They're going back and forth, and they're just making trouble for one thing. They want to ask Grandpa to come out and depose the Demon Queen in their mouths."

he said,

"But my grandpa has been practicing Taoism for more than a century, and he no longer cares about the affairs of the world. We in Moyushan are also indifferent to the world. We only care about our own one-third of an acre of land and don't care about foreign affairs."

"Tell them to go back."

He knew that the current world was in chaos, and that the imperial power and government were controlled by the 'demon queen' that the ministers called her.

She has achieved great success, and no one in the world can match her, except——that man.

The man who gradually became known as the ‘ancestor’ among the royal family and ministers.

If he is willing to come out, the situation can be reversed in an instant!
The mere Queen Mother is nothing in the eyes of this old man!
But it’s too difficult to please him, too difficult...

For 60 years, he had not shown his face, so there were rumors that Xu Fenglei had died long ago.

But even so, the princes of the clan and the loyal ministers in the court still wanted to grab this last life-saving straw. They knelt in front of the gate of Moyu Mountain for a long time, even if they broke their heads, they still wanted to ask their ancestors to come out!
"Yes."

The servant responded and was about to retreat. When he turned around, he was startled and hurriedly saluted.

"Old lady!"

Xu Yiqian raised his head slightly, quickly stepped forward to help his mother, and said:
"Mom, why are you here?"

Decades have passed, and Xiao Wu, who used to be young and beautiful, has now become an old lady.

However, even though she is older, she is still delicate and beautiful, and the sparkle in her eyes is no less than when she was young.

"There is so much noise outside, how can I not know about it? Do you think my mother is deaf?"

Wu Erya snorted coldly,

"The Demon Queen is messing with the government and should be punished!"

"I have endured her for a long time!"

It's a big span
