Crown Tang emperor

Speaking of this, he suddenly grabbed Li Tong, patted Li Tong's shoulders vigorously, and caught a glimpse of the people from the opposite palace who had crossed the street. But even if I escape, I don’t know how to save my family, what good advice do you have for me?”

In any case, this feeling of being prepared for danger in times of peace is worthy of recognition. Li Tong broke away from Li Shouli's embrace and said with a low smile, "It's hopeless, let's wait together."

While speaking, he went to the opposite Wangfu, Liu Youqiu and others also walked up, and they laughed and said after a distance: "Your Majesty, happy event, happy event!"

A group of people returned to the palace, and the envoy who had been waiting here for a long time read the imperial edict, which was indeed a happy event.

After King Siyong and other three kings came out of the cabinet, they were able to be courteous and respectful, and their families were harmonious.Among them, Li Guangshun, the king of Guanghan, was especially courteous and diligent, and he was also the eldest of his grandsons.

As for the assistants of the royal family, all of them were awarded the first rank because of their meritorious service in assisting the young king.

After the imperial edict was read out, the whole palace was filled with joy.Especially those assistants of the palace, they seemed particularly excited.

They themselves were unwilling people, that's why they joined the palace. They didn't expect too much for this position, but they didn't expect to be rewarded after only two or three months. It can be described as a complete surprise.

Seeing the jubilation inside and outside the palace, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although there are many disadvantages in being Wu Zetian's grandson, compared with other contemporaries, his background does have certain advantages.

Chaosan Doctor is the No. 13 rank of civilian officials under the fifth rank. Although the rank does not seem to be high, it is a very important rank in the Sanguan system.In the Tang Dynasty's grace system, only the fifth rank and above are eligible to benevolent to their descendants. Only when they reach this level can they become middle-level officials, and it is also the goal of many officials' lifelong struggle.

For example, Bai Juyi has a poem "I will add Chaosan when I am fifty, and I will give you a chapter this year".

The three brothers, Li Tong, just fell into their grandma's favor in a few small details, and they ascended to the rank of Chaosan doctor from the very beginning, surpassing the struggle of others for most of their lives in one step.From this point of view, it is really embarrassing to talk about the miserable life experience.After all, the higher the return, the greater the risk.

Of course, if it was only his three brothers who were awarded the Dismissal Order, it wouldn't be worth Li Tong's overjoy.After all, they each have a prince, and they don't expect to be scattered. Once they are released from the brown and become officials, the starting point will not be too low.

Discrete officials are generally handed down based on their seniority, and only those who serve as officials with excellent performance in one term can be awarded additionally.Many officials often have to stay in office for several years after their first term of office. They don't even have a job, let alone show their ability and achievements.

And these assistants of the palace, just a few months after entering the job, have achieved the progress that others need several years to achieve.Thousands of miles to seek an official, the fight is nothing more than one step faster.They were also awarded by En Yi this time, and accordingly, they would naturally attach more importance to this office in the palace.

The attitude of Wu Zetian reflected in this made Li Tong realize that their brother's words and deeds during this period of time really warmed his grandmother's heart, and he was even willing to help them consolidate the hearts of this small private team.

Even if they were given the first class, the vast majority of these assistants did not exceed the ninth-rank casual rank, and were only at the level of just entering the stream.But at least it shows that Wu Zetian doesn't have much suspicion of these grandsons at the moment.

This also made Li Tong heave a sigh of relief, although he felt that he was quite competent as the man behind the scenes, and he hid it deeply.But after all, it is difficult to guess the mind of the superior, whether you are pleasing to the eye or not, there is not much reason to say, and no one can guess which string Wu Zetian is wrong, so I feel that these grandsons deserve it.

If that happened, it would be useless for Li Tong to hide it deeply.Therefore, in order to please the high-ranking person, in addition to the big sentiment and the small situation, you can't go against it, and whether you can lick it or not is also a matter of fate.

Earlier, the palace envoy came to arrest a spy hiding in the king's mansion, although Li Tong had already guessed that there must be a problem person in the mansion.But guessing or not is one thing, when the truth is presented in front of you, it is a lie to say you are not disturbed.

After this incident happened, all the people in the Three Kings' Mansion were unavoidably panicked, and it was even more difficult than the nearly two months of being surrounded by Zuo Jinwu Guards.Even a rough-and-tumble person like Li Shouli was extremely nervous, trying to figure out a way out with a not-so-bright brain, and the panic in the hearts of the others can be imagined.

Now the matter has finally come to a conclusion, and the holy family is thick, the rain and the dew are even, so naturally everyone is happy and the hearts of the people are settled.

In particular, Li Guangshun, in addition to the basic grants of Sanjie, was also awarded the post of imperial guard, which made people even more delighted.Although the East Palace is currently in vain, the prince's left and right mansions are also part of the official establishment of the imperial army system, but the official position that Li Guangshun obtained is a bit low-key.

There are literati in later generations who talk about it, saying that it is a wonderful match with Jinshi and Mrs. Ru.This is the same as a regular member, and adding it means that it is definitely not a regular member.After finally getting into an official position, he is still a big spare tire.

For Li Tong to be so slanderous, he can be regarded as being cheap and acting like a good boy.With the embarrassing status of their brothers, it would be nice to have an official position, and they are actually generals of the Imperial Army.Regardless of the concubine or the big spare tire, having a place to stand is the most important thing.

Not to mention the excitement and jubilation of the people in the palace, the concubine Fang in Yongwang's mansion also wept with joy when she learned about this, and hurriedly summoned her three sons to return to the mansion to pay homage to the late king in the family temple. She also encouraged and loved Li Guangshun, the eldest son The feelings are beyond words.

After all, Li Guangshun has a formal official position, and he can win favors by virtue of his loyalty and hard work. The family is no longer just duckweed, living in fear and relying on the unpredictable will like in previous years.

This night, the residence of the Three Kings was decorated with lanterns and festoons again to celebrate, but the banquet was only limited to the people inside the residence.

The current situation is still sensitive, and Li Tong also knows that his grandma seems to be majestic during this period, and she directly took down the prime minister, but counting the time, the blow will come soon.At that time, whether it is the mood or the actual situation, there will be another change.So right now it is really inappropriate to get carried away with joy and celebrate with great fanfare.

"Brother, after entering the guard, you just need to be careful not to make mistakes, and you don't have to force hard work. My family's success in Chang'an does not depend on merit or not, but on His Majesty the Divine Emperor's liking or dislike."

Before Li Guangshun officially took office, he avoided his aunt Fang, and Li Tong also seriously instructed Li Guangshun.

"Sanlang, don't worry. After I get involved, I will only be your eyes and ears. I will report back in time. I am not a master of economics. , I am a newcomer, even if I get some credit, it is not enough to be relied on by the family."

Li Guangshun's understanding of his becoming an official this time is very accurate. Although he doesn't know what the third brother is busy with all day long, he also understands that any improvement in the family's situation depends on the third brother's diligent planning.

Indeed, the biggest significance of Li Guangshun's entry into the ban this time is to allow Li Tong's eyes and ears to penetrate into the ban.Although Si Gongtai Yang Chong and the female officer Xu are also constantly sending out messages, they are still under confinement, so they still cannot have an intuitive understanding of the situation in the outer court.

Li Guangshun's status is special. Although his position is not a key position, as long as he is there, he is a rare source of news.Even if you don't deliberately inquire, the importance of the information you can learn is far from what the fufus hear from the outside.

As soon as Li Guangshun was listed in the military government and officially took up his post, he sent back an important news: the forbidden guards canceled their replacements, and they were on duty for days and nights, and they were not allowed to leave their posts without authorization.In particular, he is very close to Xunyi, the general of Zhufu, and he can't even ask him to leave even for illness, weddings and funerals.

But as long as it is an event involving people, how can it be completely kept secret? When Li Guangshun sent someone home to get a change of clothes, Li Tong had already realized that the news of Wei Daigui's defeat in the Western Conscript seemed to have spread. Back to Luoyang.

Wei's expedition to the west can be said to be the most important event of the year, and its significance is far beyond that of Xue Huaiyi's northern attack on the Turks. I don't know how many people in the entire city of God are eagerly waiting for the outcome of the war and waiting for opportunities. Li Tong is naturally not far behind.

Of course, the current him is far from being able to make a fortune for the country, but he must take this opportunity to completely get rid of Qiu Shenji, and strive for a few years of real stability for his family.

Chapter 0156

When the Western battle reports and military information were urgently sent to Shendu Jinzhong, Emperor Wu Zetian was still discussing with the prime ministers and officials on daily duty in the side hall of Mingtang to build a new hall in Jinzhong and named it Wucheng Hall. The purpose is naturally to continue to promote martial arts.

Although the military situation was rushed to the post, it was sent directly to the forbidden center in the form of a secret performance without passing through Luantai and Fengge.

The ministers in the palace were still discussing whether they should continue to build civil works. Wu Zetian saw that he could not argue for a conclusion in a short time, so he ordered food to be given in the palace, and he retreated to the back bedroom of the Mingtang. Still brimming with joy: "I don't know Wei Qing..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and the female servants in the bedroom were unavoidably curious. They turned their heads to peep at the expression of the emperor, but saw that his majesty was already pale, his eyes were wide open, and even the body under Dagon's clothes trembled slightly.

"Victory in the first battle, defeat in the second battle...the weather will be cold and snowy, the food will be scarce, and the people will be hungry and cold..."

The secret essay is not long, and you can see the beginning and the end at a glance, but Wu Zetian held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, as if he was afraid that he might make a mistake. He read it carefully a dozen times from the beginning to the end, and almost every word was engraved in his eyes. But after all, the words did not change as she wanted.

"Get out!"

After a long time, she squeezed out two stiff words between her teeth.

"All retreat!"

The servants in the dormitory didn't understand for a while, and just about to ask for instructions again, a clearer loud shout has already sounded, which even made the eardrums ache, and they immediately retreated in panic.

After all the palace people left the palace, Wu Zetian raised her hand and held the scroll of secret music tightly in her palm, and stood up from the imperial bed. With her hands behind her back, she walked around the imperial case like a trapped animal. When she looked to the west, , finally couldn't help shouting angrily: "Yong will harm the country, Wei thief will blame me!"

However, no matter how angry you are, you always have to face the problems that should be faced. After a few angry shouts to vent, Wu Zetian's angry eyes quickly calmed down, and then he said: "Notify the prime ministers to continue the meeting and decide A conclusion, quickly summoned to accept the words!"

In the side hall of the Ming Hall, the prime ministers were still having their meals. Suddenly, a female official came in and summoned Na Yan and Wu Chengsi away. There was no lack of suspicion for a while. Cen Changqian was presided over by the interim committee. When asked when His Majesty the Emperor would return to the hall, Was told to wait for notification.

Wu Chengsi hurried into the bedroom, and before he could salute, he heard the emperor say in a heavy tone: "Quickly summon You Ning and other incumbent guards to come here, Wei Dai has lost."

Hearing this, Wu Chengsi immediately knew the seriousness of the situation. He was just about to leave after taking the order, and when he saw His Majesty the Emperor's stern expression, his heart moved, and he paused and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, not to mention that Master Xue has already done so." Yinbu galloped back to Luo, and all the disciples in the family were young and strong, and the eagles and dogs were loyal and healthy, just waiting to be driven away!"

After Wu Zetian heard this, his demeanor improved a little, and his tone became gentler: "Go and come back quickly."

With His Majesty's attitude in front of him, Wu Chengsi walked a little briskly. After leaving the bedroom, he quickly summoned a group of cousins.

The sons of the Wu clan are indeed in their prime of life. In addition to Wu Chengsi, who has already worshiped the prime minister and served as Luantai Nayan, there are Xia Guanshilang Wu Sansi, Qianqi envoy Wu Youning, You Yulin general Wu Youyi, and Zuo Jinwu Wei Yifu. Lang Jiang Wu Youji, Zuowei Zhonglang General Wu Zaide, Prince Zuowei led Wu Youxu, Zuo Qianniu Zhonglang General Wu Sizong, and the new Right Jinwuwei General Wu Yizong.

This is only the Wu family's children who can be summoned in the shortest time to serve in the Taiwan Province and the Northern and Southern Yamen's Forbidden Army.

Regardless of their abilities, these Wu family sons are all working in the government office. They were summoned by Wu Chengsi urgently, and they were strictly ordered not to delay and must arrive at the first time.When they rushed to the vicinity of Mingtang and saw Wu Chengsi, they were all full of curiosity.

"Brother is eager to gather the crowd. Is there something important going to happen?"

Among the Wu family's children, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi are the closest blood relatives, seeing the cousins ​​gathered together, they couldn't help asking first.

Wu Chengsi not only has the highest official position among all the people, he is also the heir appointed by the emperor to be the heir of his grandfather, the samurai Xun. You are all prepared. Just now His Majesty the Divine Emperor received a secret letter from Hexi, Wenchang Youxiang Wei Taibi was defeated..."

"It turned out that it was just a remote war, and I still think what happened in Kinai..."

Before Wu Chengsi finished speaking, Zuo Qianniuwei Wu Sizong couldn't help speaking, but before he finished speaking, Wu Youning stopped him: "Shut up first, listen to Nayan!"

Although the same family, the relationship is also far and near.Hearing his brother being reprimanded, Wu Yizong immediately showed displeasure: "Since you came here after hearing the news, it is natural that you are on an errand, why are you yelling?"

"Shut up, all of you! A few days ago, Xu Jing neglected the truth, and you haven't been held accountable yet!"

Wu Chengsi raised his hand to beat the case, very majestic, gave Wu Yizong a hard look, and then nodded to Wu Youning: "Although Wei Daigui defeated the frontier, the war with Tubo was arranged by His Majesty the Emperor. The situation is not as good as It is expected that there will be widespread complaints and slander from the ruling and opposition parties in the future, which will affect various affairs in Kinai."

"His Majesty the Emperor made heavy arrangements, and the revolution is imminent. Only because of internal and external treachery, it will not be a foregone conclusion. My family is inherited from the family, and it is already the No.1 family in the country. At this critical moment, we should come up with enough matching ones." Take responsibility! I don't care what kind of private schemes and intentions each of you have, you must suppress them all now! If you make mistakes in your own affairs and cause twists and turns in His Majesty's great career, even the brothers in the court, you only need to mention See you later!"

Hearing Wu Chengsi's solemn and fierce words, everyone also expressed their opinions one after another.

Wu Chengsi was quite satisfied with everyone's attitude. After nodding, he stood up and waved his hand, leading a group of cousins ​​to the bedroom behind Mingtang.This journey is naturally quite eye-catching, and everyone they saw along the way held their breaths and backed away.

In the outer hall of the dormitory, Wu Zetian was still frowning and thinking about the countermeasures. Hearing the report from the palace maid, he raised his eyes and saw a group of nephews marching into the hall in a mighty manner. Don't know the big deal?"

Wu Chengsi was originally full of enthusiasm, but when he heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "I and other loyal disciples gathered to worship, I just want to ask His Majesty the God Emperor not to worry about human forces. , even if there are traitors in the government and the public, they can't support the mass slaughter!"

Wu Zetian was also in a state of confusion at the moment, and had no plans. Hearing what Wu Chengsi said, he also said: "The situation is urgent, so please stop gossiping. Now that you are all here, let's talk about your views."

After finishing speaking, she also looked at the group of nephews seriously, with no lack of expectation in her heart.

In fact, she had high hopes for Wei Taijia's westward expedition, and she almost decided against all opinions to launch this military operation. Because of this, the defeat this time hit her hard, especially the psychological setback. Even just now, he was considering whether to temporarily relax the control over Emperor Li Dan, so as to break down the backlash of the officials.

But after she finished speaking, she waited for a while, and the nephews in the hall, including Wu Chengsi, just knelt deeply on the ground without saying anything, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strangely dull.

"The ministers are all hungry dogs, and they only wait for the order of His Majesty the Emperor to immediately kill the traitors from the court and the public!"

After a while, Wu Yizong raised his head and said fervently and ferociously.

Wu Zetian's expression was sluggish for a moment, he opened his mouth and paused again, and then smiled lightly: "Your ambition is commendable, Erlang keeps this courage."

Afterwards, she raised her finger and said, "Youji and Yizong, return to the headquarters of the military government quickly. At this moment, remember not to let panic spread among the people."

After hearing the words, Wu Youji and Wu Yizong, the two generals of the Jinwu Guard crossed their hands and agreed, and then glanced at Wu Chengsi, seeing that Wu Chengsi just lowered his eyes and did not express any more, then hurriedly left the bedroom and went straight to the palace. Outside the Jinwuwei official office.

"It will take a short time for Huaiyi to return to the capital. During this period of time, you will rely on the Beiya army to control the situation. You Ning and Youyi, you two take turns at the Xuanwu Gate day and night. No matter what happens, you must not let go of your post!"

Wu Zetian's thoughts turned quickly, knowing that every major event, the Forbidden Army is the force that can most change the situation, and then pointed to Wu Zaide and said: "My dear Xunyi and the three guards have a lot of troubles, and I will order the guards to guard against it later. Li, Zaide is inspecting the various mansions, and must put an end to such evils as connecting the inside to the outside!"

Wu Zaide bowed his head to take the order, and Wu Sansi next to him said: "General Zhonglang will only serve as the left guard. If he goes out to patrol the various mansions, he will not be able to obey the public because of his duty. I am the official of Xia. Please inspect the arsenal. government."

"It was my negligence, so let's do it."

Hearing Wu Sansi's reminder, Wu Zetian gave him a look of approval, then turned to look at Wu Youning, and said, "Three Si is busy with trivial matters, and I have no time to take care of the rest. Fengge Zhang Guangfu was sentenced, and Cen Changqian alone in the office is especially worrying." , You would rather keep the Beiya outside, use the Fengge servant to intervene in political affairs, and don't let Cen be the only one."

Not to mention that Wu Youning was delighted and hurriedly bowed his head to accept orders, but Wu Sansi was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, lowered his head and thought for a while, did it mean that if he didn't fight for the job of inspecting the Sanwei Zhufu, he might enter Phoenix Prime Minister?

Wu Zetian was not in the mood to care about Wu Sansi's careful thoughts, so he turned to Wu Chengsi and said: "Luantai is not the first to rush, and Chengsi will be the right minister of Wenchang. , so that they have no time to slander the rest."

After arranging for the Wu clan's sons to be responsible for their respective affairs, Wu Zetian was sleepless again, thinking about plans to deal with various possible changes.

Although these nephews are full of enthusiasm and ambition, many things cannot be done well with passion and ambition. After all, ability is a flaw.

In many cases, the situation is tense to a critical point, and often only one straw is needed to completely collapse.Now the power of the foreign court officials headed by the prime minister has been suppressed to a limit by her, but the more so, once it rebounds, the power of backlash will be really unpredictable.

Step by step to the present, Wu Zetian will naturally not give up easily. After accepting the sad news of Wei Daiqi's defeat, she is ready to kill.

However, Wu Zetian was full of doubts when she thought that although her nephews occupied the positions of generals of the Imperial Guards in the North and South Yamen, whether they were able to provide enough reliable force guarantee for the next bloody storm.

In the middle of the night, Wu Zetian picked up a pen and wrote, each stroke was slow and heavy, and the content was about Crown Prince Li Chengqi and Jialuo Zhoumu.Having fought with the courtiers for so many years, she knows best how to control their wild thoughts, but she also knows very well in her heart that once this edict is issued, her hard work in the past few years will go backwards.

After the imperial edict was written, Wu Zetian dried the ink with a dull expression. A female official stepped forward and wanted to put it in a box, but she waved her away. She just rolled up the imperial edict and put it in a secret box that only she could open.

Afterwards, Wu Zetian returned to the imperial case and wrote another imperial edict, in which Li Longji, the four-year-old king of Chu, adopted his eldest son to honor the emperor Li Hong as his heir.

However, when Wu Zetian was preparing all the filings, she didn't know that her third grandson, the King of Hedong, Li Shouyi had given her a big gift, which was being placed in the memorials accumulated by her imperial case.

Chapter 0157 The heroine lives in the sun, and the mountain becomes a disaster

I stayed up all night, thinking hard about countermeasures.When it was about to dawn, Wu Zetian finally lost some energy. After all, she was already an old woman in her 60s. She was tired and sleepless all night, and she really couldn't bear it. Seeing that there was still some time before dawn, she fell asleep at her desk for a while.

But not long after she closed her eyes, she was in a daze. She was half asleep and half awake when she suddenly heard the whole hall rumbling.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the West..."

The palace officials rushed in dispirited, unable to make a sound while eating and eating, and more than a dozen healthy women serving in front of the palace rushed into the palace. Without any explanation, they set up Wu Zetian and ran outside the palace: "Your Majesty, please forgive my concubine for being rude. It's a subsidence..."

While speaking, Wu Zetian had been carried out of the bedroom by the healthy women, and then she looked back at the Ming Hall. Even though she had been in court all year round and had a calm spirit, she couldn't help but change her face in panic for a moment: the towering Ming Hall was slightly swaying , especially the swing range of the iron phoenix at the top is astonishing.As for the paradise that has just been built halfway, the upper floor that has not yet been capped has even fallen wood and stone!

The healthy women guarded Wu Zetian and fled to the empty place in the forbidden area. After the initial panic, Wu Zetian's face gradually recovered some color, and he raised his hand to calm the crowd: "Since the Holy Mother came to people, how can there be a natural disaster in the forbidden area?" Don't be alarmed, everyone, it must be a policeman from a certain place in another state, and the aftermath will reach the sky..."

Hearing Wu Zetian's trembling, but still high-pitched tone, the palace people who followed her out of the palace, including the guards who had rushed here to guard the place, were also quite opinionated. At least they already had a backbone to follow her. His Majesty the God Emperor moved slowly, instead of yelling and running around like headless chickens like before.

It is true that the epicenter of the earthquake should be in the west of Shendu, and the ban was only slightly affected.Empress Wu Zetian made a strong self-contained mind. After leaving the Ming Hall, she detoured around the heaven. Along the way, she continued to appease the panicked palace officials and imperial guards. She walked through the back two halls and Taoguang Garden. When she arrived at Xuanwu Gate, there were already more than two thousand people gathered in front of her public.

"I was ordered to guard the Xuanwu Gate. I dare not leave for a moment. I can't enter the forbidden center in time to guard the palace. It's really..."

General You Yulin Wu Youyi saw His Majesty the Emperor arrived at Xuanwu Gate under the protection of the palace people and imperial guards, he was panicked for a while, his face was pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.The vibration felt at Xuanwu Gate was slightly weaker, probably because of the large-scale construction and overly grand buildings near Mingtang, which made the earthquake feel even stronger.

Although Wu Zetian dislikes Wu Youyi's inability to adapt flexibly, it should be known that she is not only wary of natural disasters, but also worried about man-made disasters along the way.

Fortunately, I arrived safely, and it is not easy to reprimand Wu Youyi in public at this moment, so I just said in a concentrated voice: "An guard at the duty station, there is no edict to not move, what is the crime? Hurry up with the Yulin army to enter the South Yamen and call all the prime ministers here , Heaven and man have a sense, and state affairs cannot be delayed for a moment!"

Hearing this, Wu Youyi no longer guarded the Xuanwu Gate, first personally led the crowd to escort the Emperor into the Xianju courtyard near Xuanwu Gate, and then took the troops and rushed to the Nanya.

At the same time, Wu Youning, the envoy of Qianqi, had also assembled the army of Qianqi. After searching all the way and entering the Xianju courtyard, Wu Zetian ordered again: "Quickly send Qianqi to divide the troops to defend the emperor, queen, crown prince, and kings. Don't be disturbed by chaos!"

After a lot of bustle and bustle, it was already morning, and all the ministers on duty in the Nan Ya were led by the Habayashi Army to wait outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Wu Zetian did not immediately summon the courtiers who had asked for an interview several times, but first summoned Xing Wenwei, a senior official of Zuo Suzheng, and immediately rushed to Zetianmen to inspect the assembly situation of today's court officials, and recorded all the vacancies.

Until noon, Wu Zetian accepted the worship of hundreds of officials outside the Xuanwu Gate, and ordered the officials to temporarily enter Xuanwu City to handle government affairs.

Afterwards, the prime ministers of Nanya were called into Taoguang Garden, where Wu Zetian announced the news that Prime Minister Wei Daigui had defeated Yin Shijiahe, and made a decision: Wei Daigui stripped all his officials and titles, escorted him back to the capital for punishment, and his deputy, Anxi Dadu, guarded Yan. Wen Gu led the crowd to stay behind and delayed the military opportunity, so he directly took over in the army. Tang Xiujing, the former deputy governor of Anxi, was added as the governor of Xizhou.

After the prime ministers learned of this, they were shocked for a while, and Fan Lubing, Minister of the Spring Official, asked for a postponement because the official military report had not yet been delivered.But Wu Zetian was extremely tough at the moment, and he directly made a set tone, which could not be doubted, and immediately issued an imperial edict.
