Tang riddles

I don't know where to think, and the experiences from childhood to adulthood come to Li Longji's mind intermittently.

In the third year of Chuigong, the emperor's uncle Zhongzong Li Xian was deposed as King of Luling and demoted from Chang'an because of his absurd remarks.His father, Prime Minister Li Dan, was established as the heir of the emperor by his grandmother Zetian, and soon succeeded to the throne as Ruizong.That year, he was only three years old, and he was named King of Chu as a prince.

King Chu, this title has become a knot in his heart ever since.Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is the hero he admires the most. He has been unwilling to be ordinary since he was a child, and hopes to achieve a great cause.At the age of four, his grandmother adopted him to his elder uncle Li Hong, who had passed away long ago, to continue the incense.But going through the motions gave him his first taste of being manipulated.This feeling was very uncomfortable, even though he was not sensible at the time, but when he recalled his father's bleak years later, his hairs would always stand on end.

At the age of seven, he went out to build a mansion and set up government offices. The young King of Chu has his own team.Although he was still so young, he had just started studying with the master of the Imperial College, but he seemed to have started to participate in government affairs.In August of the same year, Shang Fang Supervisor Pei Banditong and Internal Attendant Fan Yunxian met Ruizong Li Dan privately. After knowing this, the Empress Dowager killed the two of them and strictly prohibited Ruizong from receiving ministers and ministers.Because of this incident, Li Longji's brother and his second uncle Li Xian's three sons entered the cabinet again, and they were all confined in the palace, and they did not go out of the court for more than ten years.And he was also confined for seven years.

In those seven years, it was like a nightmare to look back on. Li Longji, who had tasted the taste of power early, experienced the horror of being cast into hell.He can't do anything, he is raised like a domestic animal all day long, eating, drinking and having fun, but he is absolutely not allowed to step out of that circle.

During those seven years, he also witnessed the vicissitudes of the court, witnessed a generation of female emperors ascension to the throne, witnessed his father being dragged down from the throne, and witnessed the rise of many new forces and the collapse of old forces. Luo Luo, the world is impermanent.

With his father's resignation from the throne, he was also pulled down from the position of king of Chu and demoted to king of Linzi.That year was the third year after Emperor Zetian ascended the throne. He was nine years old. In this year, he lost his mother, and he didn't even know where his bones were.The reason was that a humble servant girl falsely accused his mother of "doing witchcraft", so her mother Dou and aunt Liu were tricked into the palace and never came out again.And his father didn't even dare to say a word.If it hadn't been for An Jinzang Dayi's caesarean section to show his will, he would have lost his father.

Power, power, my cowardly father, do you know the importance of power?If you can be a little bit tougher, you won't have such a miserable ending.My poor mother, she will shed tears of innocence and resentment under her nine springs.

The father didn't dare to speak out, maybe out of cowardice, maybe out of prudence to protect himself, or maybe because he was forced to do nothing.Whatever it was, it was miserable enough, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.When he was young, he understood very early on that if he had no power to protect himself, he could only be slaughtered by others, especially as a prince and grandson.The young boy has learned to hide himself. To the outside world, he is just a dandy and ignorant prince who loves rhythm, drums, music, and poetry.

No one knows his ambition.

In the second year of the holy calendar, he was 14 years old. After seven years of claustrophobia, he was finally able to leave the cabinet.At that time, Emperor Wu was very old, and with the unremitting efforts of Di Renjie and other loyal courtiers, she finally gave up the Liwu clan as the heir, and welcomed back the third uncle Li Xian's family and became the prince.And his father was once again crowned prime minister from the position of emperor's heir.

During the Chang'an period, Li Longji, who was at a young age, met a man named Yin Yu who was astonishingly talented.At that time, he was serving as a general of Youwei Lang in the Qinwei Mansion, and just in time for the scientific examination, a genius from heaven won the first place with an absolute advantage. All parties were vying to make friends, and Li Longji was one of them.As a low-grade county king, he might not attract much attention, but this number one scholar seems to have some interest in him.They chatted for a few more words, he admired her talent very much, and thought that if he wanted to achieve great things, he would definitely need this person's help.

However, the sky didn't go his way, and the number one scholar who he tried everything possible to recruit, suddenly unexpectedly came to the opposite of him.His original wife passed away suddenly, and Zhuangyuan Lang entered Princess Taiping's mansion amidst many unpleasant gossips, and transformed himself into a son-in-law.

Another minister under the skirt.

At that time, Li Longji didn't know that his aunt would become his worst enemy.But he is already very dissatisfied with the female ruler's regime. His grandmother Wuhuang, his third aunt Queen Webster, his cousin Princess Anle, Zhaorong Shangguan Wan'er, including his little aunt Princess Taiping, how many women do you sing? Let me appear on the stage, and the whole court has been turned upside down.Is this still the world of my Li Tang royal family?Where is the courage of my son from the Li family in Longxi?Is it really necessary to let these women dominate the political power and make the world laugh?It would be fine if these women could really bring about a Qingming government, but these years the government has been in a mess, the situation is turbulent and uncertain, and there are dangers everywhere. How can we talk about Haiyan and Heqing?

This is my man Li Tang's world, he refuses to accept it!The third uncle can't do it, and the father can't do it either, so he will come in person, the dignity that belongs to Li Tang's man, he will definitely take it back!

In April of the second year of Jinglong, he was appointed as Luzhou Biejia, and he left Chang'an where he had lived for 23 years.During his time in Luzhou, he actively made friends with celebrities and strange people, recruited a large number of advisers and generals into his command, and at the same time actively followed the trends in Chang'an.After many investigations, he finally noticed the number one scholar who he had paid attention to once again.The number one scholar in the past, now the son-in-law, seems to be in a casual position in the court, wandering on the edge of the court, but you can always see her in some key events, or the shadow of her little aunt Princess Taiping .

This person doesn't seem to be as simple as he thought.

Finally, time came to the first year of Shenlong, and the Shenlong coup broke out. Zhang Jianzhi and others took the lead in launching an attack at Xuanwumen, quickly controlled the situation, killed two Zhangs, and forced Emperor Wu to abdicate the throne. His troubled third uncle , and finally climbed to the throne again.

Four years after Jinglong came back from Luzhou, he was full of ambition.The past few years in Luzhou have been extremely fulfilling.He greatly expanded his shogunate, recruited a large number of sages, and met a beautiful prostitute named Zhao. His concubines Liu and Zhao successively gave birth to two lovely sons for him, making up for the only wife Wang. Regret for having a daughter.

Now he, with his staff gathered together, has both sons and daughters, and when he returns to Chang'an, it is time to show his grand plans.He had a long-term vision, and he was the first to take a fancy to the ability of Wanqijun.To launch a coup, the help of Wanqi is indispensable.In addition, he played an unexpected move and contacted his little aunt, Princess Taiping, and concubine Yin Yu, and with the help of the husband and wife, he could achieve his goal faster.

After several twists and turns, on July 21, the first year of Tang Long, he launched the Tang Long coup.That night, Ge Fushun raided the Yulin camp, killed Empress Wei's followers, instigated the rebellion of the Yulin army, and broke into Xuandemen.Li Xianfu led his troops into the White Beast Gate and joined forces at Lingyan Pavilion in the middle of the night.Li Longji led his troops into the inner palace, and the warriors guarding the inner palace turned their backs one after another. Empress Wei fled into the flying cavalry camp but was beheaded. Zong Chuke, Princess Anle, Wu Yanxiu, Shangguan Wan'er and others all fell on his butcher knife under.

His father, Prime Minister Li Dan, was the last person to hear the news. He originally only planned to be a Prince of Taiping, but was once again pushed to the supreme throne by his own son.And Li Dan knew in his heart that he would not sit on the throne for long, and sooner or later he would give up the throne to his son. This was the fundamental purpose of his son's coup d'état.

What a king of Linzi, what a Li Sanlang!He didn't know that he gave birth to such a wolf-like son.

What made him even more unexpected was that since he ascended the throne for the second time, the aunt and nephew had started to fight each other.Not only did he not expect it, but Li Longji himself did not expect it either. He had already made a very high evaluation of his aunt, but her aunt's power in the court was still beyond his imagination.Even if he has the forbidden army in his hands, he can't do anything to her for a while.

Even being named a crown prince was so difficult. With all kinds of obstacles from Taiping, Li Longji struggled to move forward. Even when his concubine was pregnant, he didn't dare to say anything. He wanted to have an abortion secretly, but ultimately failed.

After two years of hard work, Li Longji was finally abdicated to the throne under his father's rare toughness.Naihe became the new emperor, but still couldn't get rid of the shadow brought by Taiping.Li Longji was full of clouds all day long, racking his brains to get rid of this little aunt, he was already extremely tired of this woman.

At this juncture, Gao Lishi by his side recommended a person for him, this person is the personal bodyguard of the son-in-law Yin Yu, named Lu Yifeng.This person actually told him an extremely frightening secret—the secret of Luanhuang's bloodline. This strange bloodline made him feel terrified, and he must get rid of it to feel at ease.And at that time Taiping had already tried to poison him, Li Longji, who was driven to a dead end, decided not to show mercy, but to kill Xie Chong immediately, so as to avoid future troubles.

He did it, and it worked surprisingly well.On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, while admiring the lanterns and watching Tage, he listened to the report from his subordinates that Princess Taiping's mansion was burned, and Yin Yu was confirmed dead, but the body was snatched away.Taiping was burned to death in the boat coffin.A total of thousands of people from the top to bottom of the princess' mansion were all turned into coke.The only thing that made him a little uneasy was that the two children from the Princess Mansion were missing.But he wasn't very worried, after all, they were just two young girls, so what trouble could they cause.

After several years of hard work, he finally secured the throne.Only after getting rid of the serious troubles in his heart, can he flex his muscles.Reform the administration of officials, select and train talents, and pay special attention to the promotion of capable local officials.Reduce and exempt taxes, speak out widely, clearly reward and punish, punish those who are good at others, and appoint people on their merits.Under his hard work, talents above the imperial court emerged in large numbers, such as Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, Xiao Song, Han Xiu, Pei Guangting, Pei Yaoqing, Zhang Shougui... each and every resounding name reverberated in the sky. A bright star gathered in the court.

In the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, there are many colorful chapters.He is full of leisure and prosperity, and wants to go to the blue sky to embrace the bright moon, and wants to reappear the prestige of his ancestor "Tian Khan".So the nine heavens closed and opened the palace, and the clothes of all nations worshiped the crown.He, Li Longji, finally brought Datang to its peak.

There is nothing wrong with being complacent, he thought that he had finally set things right and brought Li Tang back on the right track, and since then there will be no heroine in power.In order to consolidate the results, he took every step carefully, especially guarding against the women around him, and among them, the one who worried him the most was his eldest daughter, Li Jinyue.He didn't like this daughter in the first place, and she was stronger because she was born with a bias. She had to argue about right and wrong in everything, and she had to prove that she was not weaker than a man in everything.Such a character is really dangerous.

But her ability is what Li Longji appreciates.If she can be used by the imperial court, why bother to really bury her, as long as she is under control, she will not repeat the same mistakes again.He thinks that controlling his daughter is still easy.

However, everything went beyond his expectation, one after another, strange murders began to surface, as if someone was in the dark, trying to dig out the dirt that had been hidden in the corners of Chang'an City for decades, and expose it to the world.The darkness encroached on the control range of his subordinates, bit by bit submerging the grippers within his sight.He really believed in Xue Dao's ability to make a decisive decision, but he didn't expect that she was the fish that slipped through the net back then.To him, that shock was no less than the crown prince being tied up and committing suicide.And Li Changxue who told him all this, as an eyeliner placed next to Li Jinyue, also witnessed the process of the monstrous blood impregnating the woman. For everything he told him, Li Longji trusted him unconditionally.

The lingering evildoer, who has not let him go for more than 20 years, planned this absurd and terrible farce, and killed so many people, she was threatening herself.Under great fear, Li Longji chose to kill the killer again.But this time, he failed.

Is unconditional trust wrong?Li Changxue is his nephew, the person he selected after many investigations.But why did such a handsome gentleman turn into a ghostly face and appear ferociously in front of his eyes? That person asked him lightly in a tone that made the hair stand on end:

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Lu Yifeng of Luanhuang Yin's family 20 years ago?"

History repeated itself again. This time, Li Longji exhausted his luck and finally put himself in. The unknown drug controlled his body, and the owner of the drug controlled his court.Gradually, he has been unable to control everything.Where is he still the supreme emperor?He is not even as good as an ordinary person.That terrifying shadow lingered beside him. He replaced Gao Lishi and left Li Changxue's identity to a young man who was quite close to him.He organized a group of gangsters to intimidate all officials of the court and seize the government.He launched a military coup and sent [-] Youzhou troops to the south.

Datang is ruined!destroyed in his hands.The bubble of Kaiyuan's prosperous age was shattered at this moment, he did not expect it, he was stunned, and what followed was endless regret.

And when he was tied to the arrow tower at the top of the city and displayed on the battlefield by the rebels as a symbol, he clearly saw the word "moon" on the flag of the army outside the city, and the leader The female general in silver armor and white robe has a resolute and steady gaze.Beside her, the monster he had feared looked at her calmly, without any resentment in his eyes, only the determination to win.

After being confused for more than ten years, Li Longji finally understands who is Datang's true loyal minister, and who will save him at all costs in times of crisis.

Daughter... I'm sorry for your father... Queen... I have no face to see you under the nine springs.

Two lines of turbid tears rolled down his face supported by the wind and sand from the battlefield...

On August 21th of the [-]st year of Kaiyuan, [-] rebels captured the emperor and hundreds of officials and captured Chang'an. The army entered the city and blocked Chang'an. The emperor and officials were imprisoned in the Daming Palace.On the fifth day of September, an army of [-] led by Li Jinyue went south to Chang'an, blocking the southeast main road of Chang'an city.The next day, three thousand Jiangzhou troops led by Liu Su and Yang Yuhuan rushed to block Chang'an's northern main road.

The rebels tried to retreat westward, but they did not expect that [-] troops came from the west, of which [-] troops completely blocked the main roads to the west and south of Chang'an City, and the other [-] troops were like shields piercing straight up, blocking the remaining [-] troops from the north. Wan rebels went south.The military flag unleashed by this unprovoked army turned out to be "Xiao".

Surrounded on all sides, the [-] rebels in the city lost their positions and were immediately surrounded by heavy siege.

The final decisive battle is about to begin.

The author has something to say: This chapter is dedicated to Li Longji, and I still plan to write a little more about this emperor.The Anshi Rebellion was heartbreaking. I gave some thoughts of my own about the emperor's mental journey at that time.

About four or five chapters will be written for the final decisive battle, and then there will be an epilogue, three or four chapters, and the full text will be over.Of course there will be extras.
