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

As time passed, the miracle doctor's expression became more and more solemn.

Sensing that something was wrong with his expression, Zhang asked aloud: "How about the miracle doctor? Is the Queen Mother's phoenix body okay?"

a long time.

Doctor Xi retracted his wrist and handed it over to Princess Taiping and Zhang Shuogong.

"Replying to Prime Minister Zhang, the Queen Mother's pulse is intermittent and weak. According to my many years of experience, I am afraid that she has run out of oil."

Hearing these words, Zhang Shuo felt secretly happy, but his face was scolding: "How dare you, the Queen Mother is obviously in good health, how dare you talk nonsense, come on, drag me out..."

"Well, I know my condition well. It has indeed become more serious recently. Doctor Xi is not wrong."

"Queen Mother..." Zhang said but hesitated.

"Okay, I'm tired. You go back first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Seeing that the Queen Mother issued an order to expel guests, Zhang Shuo bowed and took the imperial doctor out of the hall, and rushed towards the mansion in a sedan chair.

"How is it? Is the Queen Mother's phoenix body in danger as rumored by the outside world?"

Doctor Xi did not answer immediately. Instead, he stroked his beard and looked thoughtful.
"Based on my many years of experience, the Queen Mother's pale hands are obviously at the stage of serious illness."

"But the strange thing is that the voice is very breathy."

"It's weird..."

Zhang said he only wanted to know if the Queen Mother was sick and didn't care about anything else.

So he said impatiently: Just ask whether the Queen Mother can survive this year?
"Reply to Zhang Xiang, no!"

Doctor Xi said solemnly, "Although there are some doubts about the Queen Mother, it is an indisputable fact that her illness is weak."

I infer that the funeral will take place within one or two years. "

Zhang said he was relieved to hear that the Queen Mother still had one or two years to live.

"Go and notify them, it's time to take action."

"Yes!"

Doctor Xi had just walked not far when Zhang's voice came from behind.

"Let me tell you, please don't hurt the Queen Mother and her son. Let them live out their lives in Tai'an Palace."

"After all, we have to use them to blackmail Fan Xin."

……

"Is this really what this traitor said?"

In the Tai'an Palace, Fan Xin looked through the Wu Qin Xi atlas with a normal expression.

"Back to King Yan, Zhang said that is indeed what he said. He said he would use the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to blackmail you."

The official in red robe said cautiously.

Fan Xin put down the book, a murderous intention flashed between his brows.

"Immediately lead the spies from the Intelligence Department to the homes of General Qianniuwei and General Jinwuwei, and arrest and imprison them all!"

Li Lang looked solemn, clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty King Yan, I will handle it right now!" "

.........

Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, there were dozens of civil and military ministers standing here, and everyone looked at Zhang Said on the steps with excitement.

"Mr. Zhang Ge, don't worry. I've tested it myself. The Queen Mother is indeed in critical condition."

"It can take as little as one or two months, or as long as one or two years, and the Queen Mother will die!"

Xi Langzhong said with confidence
"Okay! This way I can rest assured!"

Zhang said laughing, wearing a cloak and holding his sword high, he said loudly.

"Everyone, since the Tang Dynasty was stolen, the people of the world have been suffering and trusting for a long time!"

"Now that I stand up and hold high the banner of restoring the Tang Dynasty, do you dare to go to the Tai'an Palace with me?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ge, we will defend the Tang artifact to the death!"

"That's right, just give the order. Everyone has been looking forward to this day!"

Seeing the high morale of everyone, Zhang Shuo laughed and waved his sword, pointing at Tai'an Palace.

"set off!"

With an order, dozens of civil and military ministers led hundreds of guards towards Tai'an Palace with murderous intent.

According to the plan, General Qianniuwei will lead an army to blockade Chang'an City.

Then they will meet with General Qian Niuwei in front of Tai'an Palace.

Everyone rushed into the Tai'an Palace together and forced the Queen Mother to write an abdication edict on the spot and return power to His Majesty Li Longji!
The name of the restoration of the country is Datang!

This coup had been planned for many years, so Zhang Shuo and others did not encounter any obstacles after they rushed out of the house.

The vast city of Chang'an seemed eerily quiet as if there was no one around.

All the way into the Wanxiang Shrine, Li Tang's old ministers suddenly burst into cheers.

His eyes were greedily staring at the magnificent hall not far away.

In a few moments, they will join the Qianniu Guards and charge into the Tai'an Palace together.

Ending Fan Xin's short-lived national destiny.

"Hehe, Princess Taiping probably never dreamed that she would be here today."

"Yes, I still remember the scene before Prince Li Heng died. It's really embarrassing."

Among the crowd, only Zhang Shuo looked a little solemn.

quiet!
It's so quiet! There was something unusual about being quiet.

Although they made careful arrangements and closed all government offices in advance.

But there should be some officials who are unwilling to comply.

But until now, except for a few hundred of them, there was not even a sound.

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhang Ge? Looking at the worried look on your face, is there something wrong?"

Tan Longbin came over and asked with a smile.

"Shang Shu Tan, haven't you noticed something is wrong with this palace? It's too quiet, there aren't even any guards."

Zhang said looking around, without looking back.

Tan Longbin was stunned, glanced around, shook his head and said with a blank expression.

"There's nothing wrong. Didn't we discuss it before?"

"Before launching a coup, you must first remove the guards in the palace, and then rush to the palace with the Qianniu Guards to force Princess Taiping to abdicate."

"It would be wrong if there were guards at this hour."

Zhang said that it was true when he thought about it. He did say this before the coup.

"Is it true that I am too worried?"

"Forget it, Mr. Zhang Ge, we have already come, we can only bite the bullet and rush in."

Wang Chao on the side advised.

"Yes, we are already here, we have no way out!"

Zhang Shuo smiled bitterly and looked towards the main hall not far away, with a ferocious look in his eyes.

"Come here! Send someone immediately to see where General Qian Niuwei is!"

"Yes!"

Not long after the guards left, a massive team came towards Tai'an Palace holding torches.

Seeing this scene, the rebel troops immediately cheered.

"Look! The Qianniu Guard army is coming!"

Following everyone's gaze, Zhang Shuo's heart suddenly dropped.

Quietly relieved.

Fortunately, the Qianniu Guards came on time, and as long as their coup tonight is successful, it will be successful.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang Ge, but General I was delayed because of something and I'm late."

Tong Guowei hugged his fists apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, just come."

Zhang Shuo glanced at the army behind Tong Guowei, took a deep breath, drew his sword and shouted.

"Everyone listen to the order, target the little emperor of Tai'an Palace!"

"Come on!"

In an instant, tens of thousands of people poured into Tai'an Hall like a black tide.

Bang!
The door was knocked open, and Zhang said, Tan Longbin, and the three Dynasties walked majestically into the hall surrounded by officials.

In the main hall, Princess Taiping sat in front of the bookcase and read "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" in her hand.

Hearing the movement, he glanced at them and said calmly.

"I'm finally here. It's not in vain that I and Your Majesty have been waiting for you!"

Everyone looked at each other, a little at a loss.

According to their predictions, shouldn't Princess Taiping be lying on the bed at this time?

Why is it different from what you thought?
Realizing that the military's morale was wavering, Wang Chao sneered and took a step forward.

"Princess Taiping, don't try to scare us. Our people have blocked Chang'an."

"No matter how capable you are today, you can't even think of getting out of here!" "If you know what to do, tell the world immediately and announce that the little emperor will abdicate!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Princess Taiping put down her books, stood up from the imperial case, and looked at the old ministers of Li and Tang in front of her.

"Do you think so too?"

"this…"

After all, Princess Taiping was the Empress Dowager of the Tang Dynasty. Although she was seriously ill, her majesty still remained.

Everyone she glanced at lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuo sighed, stood up from the crowd, and bowed his hands towards Princess Taiping.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the king has been the guide for his subjects, and the husband has been the guide for his wife. There has never been a practice for a woman to serve as regent."

"Do you still want to be the second Wu Zetian?"

Surprisingly, Princess Taiping showed no sign of anger after hearing these words.

A pair of phoenix eyes looked at Zhang calmly and said, this is the prime minister left behind by her husband.

"Zhang said that I had thought that Guo Ziyi would betray the imperial court, that Prince Dongping would betray the imperial court, and even several generals in charge of the army were considered."

"I just never thought that you, an important minister left behind by King Yan, would rush in with troops."

"You know, someone advised me to take it down when you raise an army."

"But I don't. I've been sitting here all day and night just to see if you, Zhang, are really going to betray the imperial court!"

At the end, Princess Taiping's tone was full of disappointment and anger.

"It's a pity that you let me down!"

Hearing this, a touch of sadness flashed across Zhang Shuo's face.

"I will always remember the kindness you and King Yan showed to me."

"This is also the reason why I haven't killed anyone since I raised my army."

"I promise here that as long as you are willing to return the throne to His Majesty Li Longji."

"You are still my Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty, and the treatment you enjoyed before remains unchanged."

"how?"

This time Princess Taiping did not answer, but turned around with her hands behind her back.

It seemed like she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Seeing Zhang said that he still wanted to persuade, all the old ministers of Li and Tang were dissatisfied. How long has it been since Zhang Ge was still here?

Wouldn't it be over if she just forced Princess Taiping to write an abdication edict?

"Mr. Zhang Ge, we can't wait any longer. Since Li Lingyue doesn't understand current affairs, let's just be tough."

Wang Chao sneered, drew his sword and pointed it at Princess Taiping.

"Come here, arrest Princess Taiping. I will personally write on her hand!"

"Yes!"

With a loud shout, several Qianniu Guards drew their swords and swarmed forward, placing their swords on Wang Chao's neck.

"What are you doing? I want you to capture Princess Taiping!"

Seeing this scene, the hearts of Li Tang's old ministers, including Zhang Shuo, suddenly sank.

The only sound left in Nuo Da's palace was the furious cursing of Wang Chao.

General Qianniuwei walked up to Wang Chao, smiled slightly, and slapped him in the face.

"You're a treacherous traitor. Did you also give her the Queen Mother's name?"

"Come here, take them all for me!"

"As ordered!"

Thousands of guards moved upon hearing the sound, drawing their swords and rushing into Li Tang's old ministers.

It didn't even take half an hour before hundreds of corpses of Li Tang's guards were lying on the ground.

Looking at these dead soldiers who had followed him for many years, Zhang Shuo closed his eyes with a pale face.

A coup that was thought to be a sure win ended in such a way.

This was something he never expected, so he was frustrated.

"General Tong, you and I are working together for a great cause, why would you behave like this?"

"Can you give me an answer?"

Facing Zhang Shuo's question, Tong Guowei clasped his fists in shame, not knowing how to answer.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall.

"I can tell you this question!"

After saying this, Fan Xin was wearing a purple python official uniform, a black cloak, a golden dragon sword in his hand, and tiger gold boots on his feet.

Walking in surrounded by thousands of armored guards.

"It's you!"

Hearing Fan Xin's voice, Zhang Shuo and others turned around suddenly.

When they saw Fan Xin walking in, their faces instantly turned pale.

There was a deep look of shock in his eyes.

No one thought that the person who caused the coup to fail was Fan Xin who was far away in Youzhou.

What's more, I didn't expect that this guy would dismantle their years of layout without any sound.

Especially Zhang said that before raising troops, it was just in case.

He repeatedly sent people to Youzhou to confirm whether Fan Xin was there.

The result is that they are in Youzhou.

Well now, not only did he come back secretly, but he also broke into the temple with others.

Judging from this formation, they will be defeated.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo smiled bitterly, feeling that the hero was at his end.

"Can you tell me when you came back?"

"Ten days ago."

"I see. No wonder the Queen Mother returned to normal. No wonder Chang'an was so quiet when I raised the army."

"If I guess correctly, the Jinwuwei army is now under your control, right?"

Fan Xin nodded and waved.

Several guards escorted General Jinwuwei and a group of generals involved in the coup into the hall.

"Half an hour ago, one hundred thousand troops under my command took over Yingtian Gate and killed all the enemy troops."

"Mr. Zhang Ge, you have no reinforcements!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Shuo suddenly laughed.

Amidst laughter, he suddenly broke away from the guard and rushed towards the beam.

"I Zhang said that I would die for the Tang Dynasty, and I would die a worthy death!"

Be a hero again in the next life!

Bang!
Blood splashed everywhere, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, Zhang Shuo lay on the ground with a bloody head, and laughed miserably.

"When you die, you know that everything is in vain, but the sorrow is not shared by all the nine states."

"Queen Mother, I Zhang said I don't owe you any more!"

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes.

Princess Taiping trembled all over and waved her hands behind her back.

It seems that Fan Xin was told to give Zhang Jianzhi a grand burial.

"Your Highness King Yan, do you want to carry it out first?"

Looking at Zhang lying on the ground, the deputy general looked confused.

"Wait a moment." Fan Xin suppressed the thunder in his heart, walked up to Zhang Shuo, and reached out to touch the aorta.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Come here, Mr. Zhang Ge suffered a concussion and fainted. He was taken to the imperial doctor Shu for treatment first.

"Yes!"

Li Tang's old minister, who had previously patted his chest to express his martyrdom, turned pale with fright when he saw Zhang's miserable appearance.

Kneel down directly on the ground and pray for Fan Xin to forgive them.

After ordering people to take these criminals away, Wang Xiaojie hesitated and said

"The Queen Mother's old ministers who participated in the coup are being arrested one after another. Only Prince Duan's Palace and Prince Han's Palace are left."

"Do you want to..."

"Leave this to King Yan and let him figure it out."

Princess Taiping flicked her sleeves and left the hall.

Fan Xin was left with a wry smile on his face. It would be difficult for his own woman to handle this time.
