Chapter 1 Tang Zhongzong

Fangzhou, Luling Prince's Mansion.

The royal palace covers a large area and has hundreds of upper rooms with carved beams and painted buildings. Behind the royal palace, there is a garden with green plants and flowers everywhere.

In the pavilion, Li Xian and Princess Wei were enjoying the scenery, and the servants were waiting beside him.

Li Xian, also known as Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, was the third son of Wu Zetian and the seventh son of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. After Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Xian ascended the throne and was deposed by Wu Zetian for only one year in power and made Li Dan the emperor.

Li Xian was deposed as King of Luling, and first moved to Junzhou, and then moved to Fangzhou.

A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and handsome, with a happy face, ran over and shouted from afar: "Father, good news, good news."

"Chongrun, what's the good thing?" Li Xian raised his eyebrows and asked faintly.

Since he was deposed as King of Luling by Wu Zetian, Li Xian has not had any good news, all bad news. The three words "good news" are out of reach for him.

"Father, the Turks were destroyed. How could this not be good news?" The Tang people hated the Turks in particular. The destruction of the Turks was great news for Li Chongrun. Li Chongrun was excited and shouted loudly.

"Seriously? Didn't you cheat as your father?" Li Xian stood up suddenly, with a look of shock on his face and a look of disbelief.

"Impossible?" Princess Wei, who is the Queen Wei in history, also stood up with an incredible look on her face.

"Father, this news has spread all over the world. If you don't believe it, you can go out of the house to see the fun and the people are celebrating. Can this be fake?" Li Chongrun's voice became a little sharp, and he was almost catching up with the eunuch.

"That's good! That's good!" Li Xian looked happy and clenched his right hand tightly into a fist. He waved his sneer and said, "The Turks do not think about the kindness of Emperor Taizong. They are ungrateful and should be killed!"

The rebellion of the Turks was an intolerable thing for the Tang people. Li Xian was very happy to hear the news.

"Good death!" Princess Wei was also happy, with a smile on her delicate face.

"Chongrun, is there any detailed information?" Li Xian looked expectant.

The Turks were destroyed, and this news was too general. If there was detailed news, it would be even more satisfying.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Li Chongrun nodded fiercely, almost breaking his neck, and said, "The reason why this battle was completed in such a short time is thanks to Longi..."

"Longji? Lao Ba's third son? How old is he? How could he be thankful for him?" Li Xian was stunned and a little disbelief.

"Father, don't you believe it. Your Majesty issued an order to spread Longi's affairs all over the world. There is no mistake." Li Chongrun's face was blushed and smiled happily, saying, "Longi is really amazing! After the war began, the Turks adopted the strategy of fighting, trying to drag down the official army and then seize the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop..."

"Although Mochuo is hateful, this strategy is very suitable. It hits the vital points of the official army." Although Li Xian is a foolish monarch and does not know much about the way of fighting formations, he also knows that this plan is terrifying.

"What can the Turks do if this plan is good? Who said there is Longji?" Li Chongrun smiled and didn't care at all, saying: "Longji suggested to General Wang that he could advance along the water and grassland, and the government army killed many Turks."

"It's easy to plan! It's easy to plan!" The worry on Li Xian's face disappeared, and he was replaced by joy. He smiled and said, "This Longji is worthy of being my Li family bloodline, and it's worthy of being Taizong's bloodline. It's so great! The Turks can come and go freely in the desert. Today is here and tomorrow is there, but they cannot live without the water and grassland. The government army will find one at a time."

"That's not it!" Li Chongrun agreed with this and smiled even happier, saying: "After the Turks were hit by successive blows, Mochu had to change their strategy and order the Turks not to stay in the water and grassland for a long time..."

"Mochuo is hateful. This is a ruthless move. In this way, the Turks will be unstable and it will be difficult for the government troops to make a contribution." Li Xian's worries reappeared on his face.

"So what? Longi has a clever plan to deal with it. Longi proposed that he could follow the aquatic plants to attack the Turkic herdsmen camps, making it impossible for the Turkic to replenish supplies." Li Chongrun's tone turned higher and said, "This plan is cruel, but it is the only wonderful way to deal with the Turkic."

"Miao! Miao! Miao!" Li Dan praised the high and said, "Although the Turks claim to be able to live on horseback for a lifetime, they have to return to the camp to replenish supplies when they arrive at a certain time. If there is no camp, the Turks will be in big trouble."

"That's it." Li Chongrunch pointed his head and smiled, "Mochu was anxious and ordered Shiyugu to siege Longji before siege Longji, but set up an ambush for Longji to defeat him. Mochu was angry and led his troops to fight in person, swearing to kill Longji..."

Li Xian looked worried and said in a deep thought: "Mochu's elites are well-trained and well-equipped, and there are many powerful crossbows. Longji is in trouble."

"Father, you are too worried, how troubles can you be?" Li Chongrun smiled and said, "Longji ignored it and led his army straight to Heisha City..."

"Heisha City?" Li Xian slapped his right hand on his forehead, making a crisp sound, and suddenly looked like a sudden look, and praised him loudly, saying, "Longji is so great! Great! Mochuo personally fought, Heisha City will inevitably be empty and can be seized in one battle."

"That's it." Li Chongrun focused his head and said, "Longji easily took Heisha City. Heisha City is where Gu Dulu's southern teeth are located, and Mochu's den is located. When Heisha City is thrown, it will have a huge blow to the morale of the Turks. Mochu realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered the Turks to retreat to the north of Mo..."

"Not good!" Li Xian said in a lost voice: "If the Turks want to escape, it will be difficult for the official army to catch up. Once the Turks escape back to Mobei, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if the court sends a large army deep into Mobei, it will suffer heavy losses."

In order to "decisive battle in Mobei", Emperor Wu of Han dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, and less than half of them returned. It is easy to imagine how much of the losses were. If the Turks fled back to Mobei, even if the Tang Dynasty followed the old affairs of Emperor Wu of Han and sent a large army to chase into Mobei, the losses would be too great.

"What's the difficulty?" Li Chongrun raised his head and chest, proud, as if he was fighting this battle, and said: "Longji immediately set off from Heisha City and headed straight to Jikou, blocking the Turks."

"Okay! OK! OK!" Li Xian tapped his hands and praised him loudly.

"Mr. Wang led his army to chase after him. Nearly one million Turks were surrounded and wiped out in one battle. He captured Mochu, Tsui Valley, Ashide Yuanzhen and Mojilian alive." Li Chongrun raised his voice and sang: "This battle has far exceeded that of Li Jing's attack on Yinshan at night! After this battle, it is a question whether there are 100,000 Turks who survived."

"That's great! That's great!" Li Xian's face was so excited that he was full of red light. His hands clenched into fists and kept waving, and kept applauding.

The battle of Jikou far exceeded that of Li Jing's attack on Yinshan Mountain at night. Although Li Jing's attack on Yinshan Mountain at night was destroyed, the Turks did not reduce the number of Turks, because the Tang Dynasty accepted the surrender of the Turks. In addition, Emperor Taizong of Tang gave the Hetao land to the Turks, which quickly restored the Turks.

In the battle of Jikou, millions of Turks were killed, causing the Turks to suffer more than any other time in history. It would be amazing that the surviving Turks would have 100,000 people.

"Chongrun, go and pass the order. I want to hold a banquet and drink it." Li Xian was very excited.

"Okay." Li Chongrun responded, turned around, and ran away like flying.

Princess Wei's face was cold and she stared at Li Xian fiercely.

"What are you doing?" Li Xian was puzzled.

"You are still happy, do you know that you are already in trouble?" Princess Wei shouted in a deep voice.

"The disaster is coming? Don't be exaggerated." Li Xian's face darkened.

"Your Majesty is old and it is now a critical moment for the establishment of the prince. If you don't fight, neither Wu's ascend the throne nor Li Dan's ascend the throne, you will not have a good ending." Princess Wei said coldly.

"Yeah." Li Xian was stunned, then shook his head and said, "If the Wu clan ascended the throne, I might be in danger. If the eighth brother ascended the throne, I would not be in trouble. If it were in the past, it would be that the Wu clan ascended the throne. Now the situation is different. Longji makes a big splash, and it is likely that the eighth brother ascended the throne."

Li Xian knew Li Dan very well. Li Dan paid great attention to family affection and would not do anything that would kill each other. If Li Dan became emperor, Li Dan would definitely care about his brotherhood and would not attack Li Xian. It is even possible that Li Xian would be rewarded with great rewards.

"Even if Li Dan cares about his brotherly love, what if he doesn't do you, what if Li Dan comes after Li Dan?" Princess Wei asked coldly: "Li Longji is so young, even the Turks are destroyed in his hands. It is conceivable that his killing will still be considered as your uncle?"

"You're thinking a little far away." Li Xian shook his head and said, "The problem of the prince is not solved yet, you are thinking about the problem of the next prince, it's true."

"Far? Not far at all." Princess Wei pointed at Li Xian and shouted: "The problem of this prince is the problem of the next prince. If you can't become this prince, what's wrong with the next prince? Tell me."

"I..." Li Xian opened his mouth wide when asked.

Without this prince, there would be no next prince. Li Xian is really hard to answer.

"You immediately write to Your Majesty, saying that you want to fulfill your filial piety, and you will definitely allow it to win the great victory in Jikou and the destruction of the Turks. As long as you return to Shendu, you can fight for the crown prince." Princess Wei made an idea.

"Let's wait for Your Majesty's order." Li Xian thought for a while, but did not agree.

"Father, I have never been to Shendu yet." At this moment, I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with a charming figure and delicate face, like a porcelain doll, which was very pleasing.

She is Princess Anle Li Guer, and Li Xian’s most beloved daughter.

"Guo'er." Li Xian smiled on her face, opened her arms, hugged Li'er in her arms, and gently scraped her nose with affection.

"Father, please write quickly, write quickly, and people want to go to God to see it." Li Guer hung on Li Xian's arm and kept shaking.

After Li Xian was deposed, Empress Wei gave birth to Princess Anle on the way to demotion. Li Xian was very unlucky at that time and didn’t even have the clothes for the child. As a last resort, Li Xian took off his clothes and wrapped Princess Anle, so he named Princess Anle “Guoer”.

Princess Anle is very beautiful, she is good at acting coquettish and behaves well, which makes Li Xian extremely pampered. Li Xian is sure of everything that Prince Anle does.
