Chapter 50 The Pink Age of the Tang Dynasty (1) ([-])
9. Embers Still Burning

After everything was settled, Li Longji, the king of Linzi, rushed back to Ruizong's mansion and asked his father for not reporting in advance.Before Li Longji started the incident, someone suggested that he go to discuss with his father Ruizong. Li Longji said: "Father is kind-hearted, and if he agrees with the discussion, the father will be known as killing his sister-in-law from then on; if the discussion is not followed, our plan will fail." Now! Now success or failure is up to me alone."

At this moment, Ruizong saw that the deal was done, so he had to say with tears: "This time I was able to avoid disaster because of my son's wise and decisive, how can you blame my son?"

In June 710 AD, Li Longji and Princess Taiping stepped on the corpses of Empress Wei and Princess Anle. Unknowingly, Emperor Li Chongmao, as usual, had just ascended the throne and sat down in the early court, and the ministers had just assembled , Princess Taiping came out of the court and said loudly: "The heir is going to give up the throne to my uncle. What do you ministers think?" affairs of state.

Then Princess Taiping walked up to Emperor Shangdi Li Chongmao and yelled: "People's hearts are turned away, this is not your child's seat, come down quickly!" The first one dragged him off the throne.Then the Shang Emperor Li Chongmao, who had been in power for less than a month, was demoted as King Wen with tears in his eyes.

After Ruizong Li Dan was restored, he immediately issued an edict to demote Empress Wei to be a commoner, and Princess Anle to be a commoner.Li Longji was granted the title of King Ping, and Princess Taiping was granted the title of [-] households in Shiyi, and all three sons were granted the title of king.He also demoted or killed the old empress Wei's henchmen, and the era of empress Wei has passed forever.

However, Princess Taiping has made great contributions in punishing Webster, and Ruizong has been away for a long time, and all things are separated. All employment and administration have to be discussed with Princess Taiping, so her power has regained its power. Of course, Ruizong is grateful to Princess Taiping for her support. Restoration and brotherhood are also inseparable. Whatever the princess sister said, the emperor's brother will follow suit. Therefore, there are still people in Princess Taiping's mansion who offer gold and silver to seek officials, and Princess Taiping is getting more and more excessive. All the people she recommends are high-ranking ministers.There was actually a warrior who was cold and Confucian, who paid a little filial piety and became a general in a blink of an eye.Anyone who dares to impeach him will be exiled to the south of the Five Ridges at the least, or even beheaded, or even kill the nine clans, so that everyone is more afraid of Princess Taiping than the emperor.

Ruizong Li Dan is the youngest son of Wu Zetian who is strong and formidable, but he also did not inherit the slightest bit from his mother, and his cowardice and incompetence are exactly the same as his father.Emperor Ruizong, who had no opinion, had to invite Princess Taiping into the palace to negotiate with each other whenever he encountered a major government policy, and it could not be implemented.Occasionally Princess Taiping was unwell, or too lazy to enter the palace, Ruizong sent the prime minister to Princess Taiping's mansion to ask for instructions.At this time, Princess Taiping was really majestic. Every time she went in and out, she was guarded by hundreds of servants and servants. There were hundreds of servants in the mansion, all of them wore Luo Qi in summer and wore fox fur in winter.

But Princess Taiping fears Li Longji, the king of Linzi County the most. She predicts that this shrewd and handsome young man will be extraordinary in the future.Especially now that Ruizong has made him the crown prince, once he has the power, he will definitely not let himself dictate everything, so Princess Taiping often speaks to Ruizong about the shortcomings of the prince Li Longji who makes a big fuss.

Just at this time, Prince Li Longji favored concubine Yang's pregnancy. Because he was afraid of Princess Taiping, he urged Yang to take abortion medicine. Fortunately, Prince Li Longji and Yang Shi have been interested in each other for a long time. On that day, Li Longji went to the royal study to review the memorials on behalf of his father, and Yang Shi hypothesized that he would pass on the emperor's message, and both of them had a good deed.Later, he bribed the eunuchs in the palace, Yang changed his appearance as a servant, and went to live in the East Palace.Li Longji was deeply afraid that Princess Taiping would use this to make troubles. It would be a minor matter to hurt the relationship between father and son, but a major matter to lose the position of prince. Therefore, Yang, who had a deep love for Li Longji, also agreed to take abortion pills.

The bachelor attendant Zhang said that he was the most loyal confidant of the prince. He secretly obtained the abortion medicine. The prince Li Longji was in his inner palace.The medicine was not easy to cook for a while, so Li Longji leaned against the wall of the palace and fell asleep unconsciously.In a trance, he suddenly saw a golden armored god, more than ten feet tall, holding a spear, walking up to the hall, walking around beside the medicine stove, suddenly the god raised his leg and kicked the medicine stove over.Li Longji woke up with a start and saw that the medicine jar was overturned on the ground.Regardless of the great surprise in his heart, Li Longji poured the second dose of medicine into the pot, added fire and boiled again. This time he did not sleep, and stood by the stove with his eyes wide open, but in a blink of an eye, the charcoal fire in the medicine stove Falling, the medicine jar was tilted to one side, and the medicine was completely poured out again.In this way, he fried it three times in a row and turned over the medicine jar three times in a row. Li Longji had no choice but to talk to Zhang about the situation.As soon as Zhang Shuo heard it, he bowed down and said: "Congratulations to Qiansui! The precious son in this womb is the destiny of heaven, and it is not appropriate to do any more harm!" So Li Longji hid Yang's family in secret.But Yang's stomach grew bigger day by day, and soon it was as big as a cloth bag for bucket of rice.

When they were panicking because they couldn't hide it, Emperor Ruizong suddenly issued an edict ordering the prince Li Longji to be the emperor, and he respected himself as the Supreme Emperor.The emperor listened to small things, the Supreme Emperor listened to big things, and made Wu Zetian a holy queen.

10. Doomsday True Love

In 712 A.D., Li Longji ascended the throne in the Hall of Wude and was called Xuanzong, and his reign name was changed to Xiantian.The concubine Wang was the queen, and the concubine Yang was the noble concubine of Yuanxian. Soon she gave birth to a prince, who was later Emperor Suzong.At that time, Queen Wang was suffering from childlessness, and Xuanzong agreed to take the prince to raise him.Zhang Shuo also won the emperor's trust because of his efforts in protecting the young prince, and later became the prime minister.Concubine Yuanxian later gave birth to another daughter, Princess Ningqin.When Ning kissed the princess, she married Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Shuo.

Xuanzong's first decree was to send Song Wang and Qi Wang to lead the forbidden army. This position originally belonged to Princess Taiping's eldest son and second son.After Yushi Zongjing and Yao Yuanzhi knew about this, they asked the Supreme Emperor to expel Princess Taiping from the Eastern Capital.The Supreme Emperor refused to allow it, but ordered Princess Taiping to leave Puzhou.

Princess Taiping in Puzhou was also dishonest. She summoned her party members who were in Chaoguangshu and conspired to abolish Xuanzong.As a result, Xuanzong Li Longji kept his composure and easily shattered her plot, and Princess Taiping fled from Puzhou in a hurry.

At this time, she had been in chaos several times, and she was left alone, afraid to walk on the main road, so she had to flee in disorder among the thorn bushes.Seeing that she fled to the foot of a barren mountain, the setting sun was slanting towards the west, her eyes were full of desolation and desolation, and gusts of westerly wind blew in, making her tremble all over from the cold.The sky was gradually getting late, and the birds and beasts roared and hissed in the valleys all around. Princess Taiping was frightened out of her wits, but she didn't eat half a grain of rice from morning to evening, and her stomach rumbled non-stop.This golden branch and jade leaf has been pampered in the palace mansion since she was a child. He has never experienced such hardship, fear and hunger.In the midst of a panic, I suddenly heard someone singing from a distance, and the singing sound got closer and closer. When I heard the sentence "Naked to come and go, no worries", a young woodcutter turned out from the mountain, and he approached Princess Taiping strangely. He looked at her and said nothing.

Princess Taiping also peeked at him, and saw that although he was a woodcutter, his features were pretty, and he didn't look like a villain, so she endured the humiliation she had never experienced in her life and asked the woodcutter for a bowl of food and a room for her to live in. .Only then did the young woodcutter speak: "It seems that you are a lady of a great family, why did you come to this wild place?"

Princess Taiping is very good at lying and deceiving people, so she immediately made up: "I was originally the wife of a good family. I don't want robbers in my house, the house was set on fire, and all sixteen members of the family were killed. I only escaped with my poor life. Poor me, homeless, fleeing in this wilderness, hungry and cold. If you don’t help me, I’m going to die today. You can’t Don't save yourself!" As she spoke, she couldn't stop two lines of hot tears streaming down her pink cheeks, and Princess Taiping shed her own real tears in the plot she had arranged.Sure enough, the young woodcutter was made pitiful by her crying, and led her to his hut.
