Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 183 It’s time for the Tang Dynasty to change!
Early the next morning.

Tens of thousands of troops gathered in front of Yingtian Gate.

Dozens of generals wearing armor followed Fan Xin to Li Dan.

""Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Wu is in deep crisis and the ministers have no choice but to lead the army to rescue. I leave everything in Luoyang to you.

"Even if Fan Aiqing goes to save her mother, nothing can go wrong with me in Luoyang." Li Dan sighed.

Although he was full of fear of Wu Zetian, he was still worried when he learned that she was in danger.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Fan Xin took a deep look at Li Dan, got on his horse and led an army of [-] to Liangzhou.

Watching the huge army leaving Yingtianmen, Li Dan let out a long sigh and felt a lot more relaxed.

The two big mountains that have been weighing on his heart are the Queen Mother and Fan Xin's [-]-strong army.

Now that they are gone, he can finally be a worthy emperor.

Thinking of this, Li Dan flicked his sleeves and smiled at Zhang Jianzhi and others.

"Dear gentlemen, once the queen mother and the general have left, there will be no one in charge in the court. If you have anything in the future, you can report to me."

"I will obey your orders!"

All the ministers saluted.

After the crowd dispersed, Zhang Jianzhi walked up to Li Xian, bowed and said excitedly.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have endured for so many years and finally come out."

"Yes, once Fan Xin leaves, no one in the court can restrain us anymore. You can take over the imperial power legitimately." Jinghui echoed.

"I request your Majesty to immediately issue an order to arrest Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and other traitors!" Yuan Shu had already walked over and solemnly clasped his fists.

They are all important ministers in high positions. On the surface, they submit to Wu Zetian, but in fact they have always wanted to restore Li Tang's artifact.

Now that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has arisen, how can they not be excited?
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Li Dan's face changed slightly, he looked around and said in panic.

"My dear friends, be careful what you say! My mother is more suitable for managing the Tang Dynasty than me. Please don't talk nonsense in the future."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and robe and left in a hurry, leaving behind Zhang Jianzhi and several ministers Li and Tang who looked at each other.

a long time.

Zhang Jianzhi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's go back and talk about it later."

After the group returned to the mansion in a sedan, they went directly to the secret room. When the door was closed, Jinghui said with a sullen face.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to be so useless. He didn't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and was willing to be a puppet."

"He also didn't think about whether Wu Zetian could be allowed to live once he became emperor."

"Luozhou Mu, calm down, things haven't come to the worst yet, we still have a chance."

Yuan Shu had smiled and comforted him, then turned to look at Zhang Jianzhi.

"Jianzhi, tell me if you have any good ideas."

Seeing the two people looking at him, Zhang Jianzhi frowned and said.

"Now that Luoyang's defense is empty, the top priority is to win over the Weiwei army stationed in Henan Road as soon as possible."

"Only by controlling the army can we blockade Luoyang and kill the minister named Wu."

"As for His Majesty's unwillingness to step forward and carry the banner, it's quite simple."

"As long as we control the court and the army and consecrate His Majesty to Mount Tai, are we afraid that he won't come out to take charge of the overall situation?"

Jing Hui and Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and they clapped their hands.

"What a great idea. This way, even if Wu Zetian and Fan Xin come back in the future, we won't be afraid of them!"

"However, as far as I know, the three Weiwei armies in Henan Province are led by Jiang Ji, Cao Wei and Tu Xiong respectively."

"Are these three guys going to help us?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jianzhi stroked his beard and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, you two. I had some contacts with a few people when I was an official in Henan Province."

"As long as we promise them some benefits, we promise to be on our side." The two of them still believed in Zhang Jianzhi's ability, so they determined the time to take action and went back to prepare.

After seeing off his two old friends, Zhang Jianzhi returned to the secret room and spoke to the people kneeling on the ground.

"How are things going?"

"Back to the minister, the subordinate deliberately revealed the deceased's information to Fan Xin."

"It's a pity that he only took away [-] Beijing troops and left [-] behind." The middle-aged official said respectfully.

If Fan Xin were here, he would definitely be able to identify the official as Luo Governor Shi Penghai, whom he had met several times.

Zhang Jianzhi waved his hand indifferently.

"It doesn't matter, I have informed Lun Qinling of the news. As long as Wu Zetian and Fan Xin enter Liangzhou, they will definitely die."

"The remaining troops that remain behind do not pose the slightest threat to us."

"Your Majesty, I understand." Peng Hai stood up and said hesitantly: "Shilang Zhang, the Queen Mother always thinks highly of you. Will we secretly tell the Tibetan people the news..."

Zhang Jianzhi knew what he was thinking and sneered repeatedly.

"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. It doesn't matter just to restore Li Tang's artifact to a little personal reputation."

"Go ahead, send people to monitor Fan Xin's family, and when the time comes, arrest them all to sacrifice to the emperor's flag!"

"Yes, I am resigning!" Peng Hai bowed and slowly exited the secret room.

Just when the undercurrent in Luoyang was raging, thousands of miles away on the ancient Chibi Road.

A large army is marching towards Liangzhou City.

"Your Majesty, the Liangzhou Station is not far ahead. You can have a good rest for two days."

Di Renjie wiped the dust from his face and said to Wu Zetian with a smile.

After days of running around and getting older, Wu Zetian's face looked very bad.

After hearing Di Renjie's reminder, Wu Zetian raised her head and looked towards the end of the horizon.

The outline of a majestic city there is becoming clear little by little.

"We finally arrived in Liangzhou."

"If I can get rid of Lun Qinling this time, my land in Hexi of the Tang Dynasty will not have any serious troubles within ten years."

"It's not a waste of time for me to come here in person."

Di Renjie stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Back then, Emperor Taizong made a Weishui alliance with the Turkic Khan when his national power was empty."

"This avoided a vicious war between the two countries and suppressed the Turks by increasing their national strength."

"Although the powerful enemy has now become Tibet, the strategy remains the same."

Di Renjie's words touched Wu Zetian's heart.

Since she took charge of the Tang Dynasty, she has regarded Emperor Taizong as her role model for ascending to the throne.

However, things went against our expectations and the powerful enemy of Tufan was never defeated.

If this time she succeeds in provoking a civil war between the King of Tufan and Lun Qinling, then the history books will definitely give Wu Zetian a strong mark when recording her.

Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, Wu Zetian forced herself to cheer up and look at the scouts running in the distance.

"Shut up!"

When they came closer, several scouts jerked their reins and jumped off their horses.

"The Empress Dowager is informed that there are nearly a hundred Liangzhou officials twenty miles ahead!"

"Explore again!"

Signaling the scouts to retreat, Wu Zetian stood up from the imperial banquet, straightened her yellow dragon robe, pointed to the front and said majestically.

"According to this palace's decree, the army must advance as fast as possible and reach Liangzhou City before dark!"
