The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 214 The sacred bird swears by the sacred bird for ten years!

As the Tang Empire grew stronger, the guards on Lishan Mountain became tighter.

Fierce soldiers wearing golden armor stood on the mountain road up the mountain. The stone steps were neat and even there were beautifully carved stone statues on both sides of the road.

However, the dense jungles on both sides of the road also cover the mountain road, making it appear that the winding path is secluded, cool and comfortable.

"I've met Princess Yong'an!"

"..."

Following the sounds of greetings, Li Xinni slowly climbed up the steps.

The palaces on both sides of the road have also changed from the style of the Tang Dynasty to the style of the Han Dynasty. Li Xinni looked at both sides of the road and recalled her past experiences. She still remembered the first time she came to Chang'an and the first time she climbed Mount Li. The palace was built on it and the years of living on it.

Everything was vividly in her mind, and it seemed like it was yesterday, which made her lose consciousness for a while.

Finally, she arrived in front of the Divine Bird Palace, but she looked to the left and right, looking at the two side halls next to the main hall of the Divine Bird Palace.

Next to one of the side halls, there were a large number of wine jars stacked up. The memory once again returned to the story that the divine bird told him and the woman from the Han Dynasty.

He was lost for a moment, and then walked down to the main hall.

Seeing the majesty and solemnity, and the pre-Qin style buildings among the cornices and cornices, Li Xinni stretched out her slender hands and gently touched the palace gate with her white fingers, feeling the weight of the years.

After a while, she gently knocked on the door of the Divine Bird Palace.

"Boom boom boom!"

A heavy knock on the door sounded, echoing in the deep and quiet mountain forest, accompanied by the chirping of birds in the mountain forest, rippling far away.

The soldiers below watched Li Xinni's movements quietly, with awe in their eyes.

They guarded the sacred bird temple day and night, and naturally they had seen the legendary sacred bird, and they were full of awe for the sacred bird.

However, at this time, I saw Princess Yongan knocking on the door of the Divine Bird Palace. While I was shocked, I also understood the relationship between Princess Yongan and the Divine Bird.

At the same time, they were wondering whether Princess Yongan could wake up the divine bird by knocking on the door like this.

The legend of the divine bird has been passed down from ancient times to this day, and they naturally know about the sleeping divine bird, but they have never heard that the sleeping divine bird can be easily awakened by outsiders.

It seems that the divine bird takes the initiative to wake up every time.

"squeak--"

Just when they were thinking this, the door of the Divine Bird Palace suddenly opened automatically.

Even Li Xinni who knocked on the door was slightly startled, and then realized that the divine bird must have woken up and noticed his arrival and opened the palace door.

Li Xinni slowly walked into the Divine Bird Hall, only to see that a thin layer of dust had fallen inside the Divine Bird Hall. After all, it had been more than a year since no one had entered and no one had cleaned it, so it was normal for a layer of dust to fall on it.

Li Xinni looked up and saw that there was nothing strange in the palace, but there was a high platform in the center, and on the high platform was a beautiful silk nest.

In the nest, a red divine bird had opened its eyes and looked at him.

"The divine bird has awakened..."

Li Xinni smiled and said hello.

"What's the emergency?"

Bai Zhi asked immediately. After all, he had told him when he was sleeping that he could wake him up directly if anything happened.

At this time, Li Xinni woke herself up, and something must have happened.

After hearing the divine bird's inquiry, Li Xinni did not hesitate and directly told what happened in the palace.

"Wu Zetian..."

After listening to Li Xinni's words, Bai Zhi was stunned, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Figures in history will inevitably appear, and major events in history will seem to happen soon.

However, compared with history, there are more choices at this time.

After coming back to his senses, Bai Zhi also understood what Li Xinni was thinking. It was just that he was a little hesitant about Wu Zetian's desire to take power and didn't know how to deal with it.

On the one hand, Li Xinni thinks that people from the Li family must be oriented towards the Li family. After all, Wu Zetian was an outsider. If an outsider conquered the world, how could she live up to her dead father?

But Li Xinni also had certain selfish motives for Wu Zetian. During the more than 100 years since she had been running the women's palace, she had a deep understanding of the status of women in the world from ancient times to today.

After all, the status of women is lower than that of men. In some cases, women are even treated as a kind of commodity.

But at this moment, yin and yang are reversed, and Wu Zetian wants to take power, which seems to be a change.

With this tangled state of mind, Li Xinni found the divine bird.

Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, feeling a little unsure.

Respect the fate of others and don’t interfere too much.

But if you really let go, I'm afraid it will cause more bad things.

For example, in the original history, in order to achieve the goal of taking power, Wu Zetian massacred many descendants of the Li Tang clan, even her own sons and daughters.

In a sense, Wu Zetian is also a person who does whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

The reason why history happened like this is because no one could restrain Wu Zetian.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi looked at Li Xinni aside, but also found that Li Xinni was looking at him, as if waiting for his answer.

So Bai Zhi asked: "What do you want me to do?"

"I do not know either……"

Li Xinni looked confused.

"In that case, just do what you said before!"

Bai Zhi shook his head and didn't bother to think about it.

The development of history should not follow one's will in everything. If Chinese civilization always remains under its own wings without experiencing hardships, how can it give birth to an indomitable and unyielding Chinese nation?

Therefore, if Bai Zhi wants to let go appropriately, he only needs to use force at the most critical moment, or restrict a certain historical figure, which may achieve the best results.

Bai Zhi looked at Li Xinni who was standing aside, and continued: "Before this, you only need to make a three-chapter agreement with Wu Zetian and inform the people of the world at the same time. Explain everything clearly, and you should be able to avoid many things!"

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Li Xinni seemed to have some understanding. She nodded slightly in confusion, and then said after a moment: "I understand..."

"Go ahead..."

Seeing Li Xinni nodding, Bai Zhi planned to let Li Xinni leave. He just woke up from his deep sleep and should still be able to sleep back.

After hearing the Divine Bird chasing people away, Li Xinni slowly walked out of the Divine Bird Palace. Just after she walked out of the Divine Bird Palace, the door of the Divine Bird Palace suddenly closed slowly, isolating the two worlds inside and outside the temple again.

Looking back at the closed door of the Divine Bird Palace, Li Xinni stood quietly in front of the Divine Bird Palace for a long time, then slowly walked down the steps and walked under Lishan Mountain.

In 684 AD, a demon queen brought trouble to the court, took control of the government, and planned to gain power. The loyal civil and military officials in the court invited Princess Yong'an to join the court, hoping to expel the demon queen and correct the court's agenda. Princess Yong'an and the Demon Queen went into the palace to have a secret talk, but they came out hand in hand. Then Princess Yong'an went to the Divine Bird Palace to see the Divine Bird, but returned soon.

The next day, Princess Yongan and the Queen Mother jointly issued an edict, which contained three chapters:

One: The Queen Mother is not allowed to harm loyal and good ministers, and all appointments and removals must be known to all ministers.

Second: The Queen Mother had to suppress the Li clan.

Third: If the Queen Mother wants to ascend to the throne, she can only reign for another ten years. After ten years, she will return to the throne of Li family!

This edict is witnessed by the divine bird!

On the day when Princess Yong'an and the Queen Mother jointly issued the edict, red light suddenly erupted above Lishan Mountain, and a huge divine bird reflected in the sky. The divine bird came out and soared over Chang'an. The phoenix continued to sing, and the divine power was majestic.

The content of the edict was as powerful as the sound of heaven, making it known to everyone in Chang'an City.

"You actually swear by the divine bird?!"

"It's actually like this!"

"Confused! How could Princess Yong'an be like this?!"

"This is true for ten years? It's not unacceptable."

"This matter has been witnessed by the divine bird. I believe the demon in the palace... the queen mother will not break her promise and get fat!"

"Let me tell you that Princess Yong'an's attack this time will definitely not return without success!"

"..."

The loud sound was heard by all the people in Chang'an City, and then they sighed.

Some people are satisfied with this way of handling it, and some people are dismissive of this way of handling it.

But no matter what, things have already happened, and they can't change anything.

But they all also know that Princess Yongan deserves a lot of credit for this result!

Although it was the divine bird that ultimately restrained the Queen Mother in the palace, without Princess Yongan, how could ordinary people come into contact with the divine bird?

At the same time, although all parties in the court were not satisfied with this result, they had nothing to do.

This incident was also witnessed by the divine bird. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would not dare to do anything wrong.

To say that the most dissatisfied force is naturally the Li family clan.

After all, no one would be happy if their own throne was gone.

But regarding Princess Yongan and the Divine Bird, she naturally didn’t dare to say anything arrogant.

The happiest people were Wu Zetian and her relatives Wu family. After hearing the contents of the edict, the people named Wu were ecstatic, and some even behaved more wantonly.

This is human nature.

The people in Chang'an City were even more angry and dared not speak out.

After all, when the Empress Dowager's intention to ascend the throne was not clear in the court, the Wu family in Chang'an City behaved unscrupulously. Now that the matter had been made public and supported by the divine bird, they became even more unscrupulous.

Even at certain times, they acted recklessly in front of Princess Yongan's residence.

As for the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower, the schools in them have been opened to the outside world. Naturally, there are people from the Wu family in the schools in the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower. The people from the Wu family who study in them naturally behave wildly.

It caused dissatisfaction among the people.

However, when the matter became serious, some people in the court were not allowed to take action. Instead, the Queen Mother Wu Zetian in the palace took action herself.

Convict, sentence, and punish some members of the Wu family based on the facts!

At the same time, he strictly ordered people from the Wu family to be reprimanded, and they were not allowed to serve as officials in the government. Those who have already held an official position in the court will either be ordered to resign or be transferred to a position with no real duties or real power.

Marginalizing the members of the Wu family in the court prevented any interference from the Wu family in politics.

Princess Yong'an's Mansion. Since the edict was read out and everyone in Chang'an City knew about it, many royal family members have come to visit Princess Yong'an's Mansion.

Some of them came to ask Princess Yong'an for specific information, and some complained to Princess Yong'an, who also received her attentively and answered questions attentively.

At least everyone who comes to visit can walk out of Princess Yong'an Mansion with confidence.

As the edict was read out, the various forces in the court seemed to be more harmonious, and there was no fighting among the defenders for the time being. The Tang Dynasty seemed to have returned to peace again.

In 686 AD, Empress Dowager Wu Zetian officially ascended the throne as emperor. In September of the same year, Wu Zetian changed his name to Yuan Xuanniao. Because the sacred bird swore an oath, he became the emperor, so he changed his name to Xuanniao Xuanniao!

When a woman ascended the throne and became the emperor, all the officials in the court were dissatisfied. However, there were divine birds to witness it, and it lasted for about ten years, so they all tolerated it and lived in peace.

In 690 AD, Tubo led its troops to invade the borders of the Tang Dynasty, sent troops to plunder the caravans of the Tang Dynasty envoys to the Western Regions, and killed the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Wu Zetian was furious when he heard this and sent envoys to Tubo to rebuke them. However, the envoys were driven back without breaking through.

At the same time, Tubo sent envoys to Tang Dynasty to convey the intention of breaking through Ganbu.

The Tubo envoy said in the main hall of Weiyang Palace of the Tang Dynasty: The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a woman and cannot be a king. The yin and yang of the heaven and earth are reversed, so he cannot be the emperor. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty should send a princess to marry the Tubo and then take over the Qin and Jin Dynasties!

For a time, all the civil and military officials of the Tang and Manchu dynasties were filled with indignation and indignation!

Emperor Wu Zetian could not convince the public that he could ascend the throne, but at this time the Tibetan envoy actually said it to his face, which made Emperor Wu Zetian even more angry.

In 691 AD, Emperor Wu Zetian ordered to send a large army to attack Tubo, and went to the plateau to train troops. He did not seek to win with a single blow, but to cannibalize and destroy Tubo!

The words of the Tubo envoy spread throughout the world, and the whole world was angry!

Although the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a woman, he is not something that foreign ministers can slander.

As the saying goes, when an ordinary man is angry, blood will be scattered everywhere; when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be floating and blood will be shed for thousands of miles!

The Tang Dynasty had many conflicts with Tubo, and it also knew a lot about Tubo. Although Tubo was located on a plateau, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the generals of the Tang Dynasty were well prepared and had already trained troops to fight on the plateau.

Following the order from Emperor Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of soldiers attacked Tubo and attacked the city and plundered the land!

But Tubo never expected that the Tang Dynasty would react so violently. Within half a month, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty actually invaded the hinterland of Tubo.

However, Tubo Ganbu regretted it more and more, but it was already too late. Only by extinguishing the anger of the Tang Dynasty could this war be ended!

In addition to Tubo, the Western Turks in the northwest also repeatedly invaded the Tang Dynasty's route to the Western Regions.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong led the troops to destroy the DTZ when he was the crown prince. Now, in the fifth year of Emperor Wu Zetian's Xuanniiao, the elites of the Tang Dynasty have destroyed the Western Turks!

Emperor Wu Zetian ascended the throne for five years, which brought great prestige to the Tang Dynasty. Countless people came to pay homage to him, and this was the only thing that came to pay homage to him from all over the world!

The great country in the east has the name of Khan again!

In the Tang Dynasty, merchants were prosperous, the treasury was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Following the great event of Zhenguan, there was another image of a prosperous age.

Those in the court who did not want to serve the empress resigned from office and returned to their hometowns, spending leisure time at home and sightseeing around the mountains and rivers. Many of their good sayings have been passed down to the world!

Li Tang's clan studied martial arts internally and martial arts externally, waiting for ten years.

Emperor Wu Zetian strictly abided by the Divine Bird Edict and did not dare to exceed the rules.

In the tenth year of Xuanniao, the rivers are clear and the sea is clean, and the people in Wufu are prosperous!
