Chapter 284 Li An was forced to leave Luoyang

"I really don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster to go to Luoyang this time..."

Li Xian sat in the carriage and looked out the window with his brows frowned very tightly.

"Life and death have fate and wealth are in heaven..." Concubine Wei disagreed: "Do you still want to stay in that ghost place in Fangzhou for the rest of your life..."

"I don't want to stay in Fangzhou, but I don't want to die. You should also know that my mother, I must be clear... it must be that simple for her to take me back." Li Xian was still very afraid of Wu Zetian.

"Okay... what's the use of being so afraid of you? Since you come, you can rest assured. In Fangzhou, life is worse than death, so it's better to go back to Luoyang to take a try, and maybe you can win the emperor."

"Emperor..." Li Xian smiled bitterly: "She will not give up her throne to anyone...!"

Just as Li Xian and Wei Fei were talking in the carriage, suddenly, there was a strong sound of horse hooves outside the carriage, and Li Guer immediately shouted: "Dad, mother... there are many people coming outside. Are we here to pick us up?"

These words surprised Li Xian and Wei Fei.

As Li Guer said, about one hundred cavalrymen directly stopped the carriage. Soon, some soldiers from Li Xian went to negotiate, wanting to ask who was blocking the way ahead.

But the people on Li Xian's side had not had time to talk to the cavalry blocking the road opposite.

I saw about ten cavalrymen on the opposite side taking out a very small iron ball from their waists. These people didn't know what they did to the iron ball, and then they saw these cavalry knocking the iron ball to their heads.

Then they threw them all over.

To be honest, the guards on Li Xian really don’t know what these people are doing... Just when the guard was surprised, suddenly, an explosion sounded.

"Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!"

More than a dozen explosions sounded, and the guard turned around and looked at the carriage behind him again. At this time, the carriage had been blown up and split into pieces. Li Xian, Concubine Wei, and Li Guer, whom he wanted to protect, were all dead on the spot.

In an instant... the guard showed a look of horror and despair.

....................................

Li Xian died, Concubine Wei died, and Li Guer died. The biggest change in history was Li Xian... Li Xian, who should have become Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, was now bombed to death.

However, death is actually a relief for Li Xian.

Because if he didn't die, his life would be worse than death. The seventh son of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, was the third son of the fourth son of Wu Zetian. He had been emperor twice, but was cowardly and incompetent. He lived in the control of women all his life, and even cuckolded and became a turtle, which was his willingness to die. In the end, he died at the hands of two of his closest women.

Li Xian was cowardly and incompetent all his life, even if he became the emperor.

At the beginning of the first year of Shenlong, Wu Zetian's condition worsened. Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi and five other ministers joined forces with the Right Yu Lin Guard General Li Duo to launch a coup in the palace, killing two male favorites Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong brothers around Wu Zetian, and forcing Wu Zetian to abdicate.

Subsequently, Li Xian ascended the throne again, restored the name of the Tang Dynasty and the old Tang system, and rehabilitated the Li Tang royal family who was killed by Wu Zetian, and restored Chang'an as the capital and Luoyang as the accompanying capital.

In order to fulfill his promise to Wei when Fangzhou was suffering, Li Xian, who was restored, immediately conferred Wei as the queen. He ignored the opposition of the ministers and posthumously appointed Wei Lizhen as King Luo. He also asked Wei to sit in the palace to participate in the government affairs every time he came to the court, just like Wu Zetian in the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.

Weishi also tried every means to expand the power of the Weishi family, causing the power of the Weishi family to expand rapidly.

Following Li Xian, he also accepted the most trusted and charming female official Shangguan Wan'er around Wu Zetian, and named her the concubine. Soon, he joined Zhaorong again; he allowed her to be in charge of Chinese documents in the palace, wrote imperial edicts, and granted great power.

In order to win over Empress Wei and consolidate her position in the palace, Shangguan Wan'er recommended her old lover and tall and mighty Wu Sansi to Empress Wei.

Because Li Xian was in poor health, Queen Wei, who was in a state of desire, was as if she had obtained Wu Sansi.

Therefore, Empress Wei and Shangguan Wan'er joined forces to praise Wu Sansi in front of Zhongzong Li Xian. The incompetent Emperor Zhongzong also trusted Wu Sansi very much.

In addition to visiting Wu Sansi's mansion for a lot of private visits, Li Xian also allowed Wu Sansi to enter and exit the palace at will.

Even though Li Xian saw Empress Wei and Wu Sansi sitting on the imperial bed and throwing double land, he was not angry, but he was not angry, but he even stood aside and gave the two chips to cheer them up. Just as Fangzhou swears, he would never stop him, and he would willingly cuckold and be a turtle.

With Empress Wei, Shangguan Wan'er's support and Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Wu Sansi and the Wu family regained their power. This was a great threat to the ministers such as Zhang Jianzhi who carried out the "Shenlong Coup" and helped Li Xian seize power. They persuaded Li Xian to kill Wu, but Li Xian not only disobeyed, but instead revealed these advices. Wu Sansi and his followers hated him to the core.

Empress Wei and Wu Sansi colluded with each other and slandered each other. On the grounds of being named a king, Guo seized the real power of Zhang Jianzhi and other five ministers and transferred them out of the capital. Later, they were killed respectively while being demoted to the office.

In May of the fourth year of Jinglong, when Xuzhou joined the army, Yan Qinrong wrote to Zhongzong: "Empress Wei was promiscuous, and scandals in the harem have spread all over the people; Empress Wei interfered in the government affairs, causing many ills. The Wei family became increasingly powerful and would inevitably endanger the country and the country." Li Xiante summoned Yan Qinrong to Beijing and questioned him in person.

Yan Qinrong spoke boldly in the court, and his expression remained unchanged. The Wei party members flocked to him and fell to death. "Although the emperor kept asking questions, his intentions were quite unhappy; therefore, Empress Wei and his party began to worry and fear."

Although Li Xian couldn't help but feel filthy about Wei, Wei was still worried that Li Xian would eventually investigate her sexual intercourse, and at the same time she was eager to dream of "Wu Zetian's second"; while Princess Anle hoped that her mother would become the queen and become the crown princess herself after she became the queen.

So, the mother and daughter conspired with Ma Qinke and poisoned Li Xian's favorite meat pie. In June of the fourth year of Jinglong, Li Xian, the 55-year-old Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, who was willing to be cuckolded, eventually died at the hands of his two closest women. Is it sad?!

So Li Xian was killed by the bombing, first of all, it was a relief to him, and secondly, it was a help to the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he was much better than immortality.

However, three days later, when the news came back to Luoyang, it really left a super big stone behind the originally calm Luoyang. The ripples on this stone made many people unable to bear it.

First of all, Wu Zetian... Originally, Wu Zetian was still playing with the Zhang brothers in the Crane Control Supervisor.

But just when Wu Zetian was in a good mood, a young eunuch brought the unfortunate news to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian heard that his son, who was about to be made the crown prince, was dead.

Even an emperor like Wu Zetian felt a sense of heartache. After the shocked gaze of the Zhang brothers, Wu Zetian fainted. Although Wu Zetian was cruel, Wu Zetian was over 70 years old at this time. Wu Zetian still felt sad about his son's sudden death.

Li Xian's death also attracted the attention of other old ministers of Li Tang. However, these old ministers of Li Tang did not feel too sad about Li Xian's death, but were all secretly happy.

Because these old ministers of Li Tang had little relationship with Li Xian, but they had a good relationship with Li Dan. They had once defended Li Dan. If Li Xian died, then the throne would only be Li Dan's.

This result made the old ministers of Li Tang very happy.

Soon, Wu Zetian ordered a thorough investigation of Li Xian's murder this time, but at this moment, Lai Junchen actually submitted a statement saying that Li Xian's death was probably done by King Li An of Jie.

The reason is that Li Xian was killed by an explosion... and only King Jie Ang Lee, the only one who possessed the explosives, so Li Xian was absolutely responsible for the death of Li Xian.

You don't know... Lai Junchen's above statement directly pushed Ang Lee to the forefront. Ang Lee wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain. When Ang Lee was even more surprised, all the ministers in the court began to attack him.

Especially those old ministers of Li Tang, they listed Ang Lee's dangers one by one, saying that Ang Lee's military power was too strong and wealth was as good as a country. Regardless of whether Li Xian's death this time was related to Ang Lee, Ang Lee had to expel him from Luoyang.

Although Wu Zetian was very doting to Ang Lee, Wu Zetian, who had lost her son, was a little difficult to tell the difference between right and wrong. She had lost her previous calmness. It would be fine if she was alone and she was not alone. She was the whole court talking about Ang Lee.

Moreover, Ang Lee's people couldn't even interfere, and suddenly, Wu Zetian became murderous about Ang Lee.

Indeed, Ang Lee's power was too great. Wu Zetian thought that Ang Lee's current position was General Tiance, so he could easily obtain the rights of the Luoyang Imperial Army. In this case, no matter who he arranged to become the crown prince, Ang Lee could easily handle it.

This is not what Wu Zetian wants to see. Wu Zetian likes Ang Lee, but the throne will not be given to Ang Lee.

Li Xian's death made Wu Zetian feel scared. She was the only son of Li Dan, so Wu Zetian didn't want to take risks. No matter what kind of destiny was in Li An's heart, Wu Zetian felt that she could not let Ang Lee stay in Luoyang.

But what was unexpected was that on the fifth day when everyone attacked Ang Lee, Ang Lee suddenly reported that he was seriously ill and was unable to take the position of General Tience, so he resigned General Tience and returned all rights together.

Then Ang Lee also said that the water and soil in Luoyang made Ang Lee a little unable to adapt, so Ang Lee asked to go to his fiefdom Dengzhou.

You should know that Dengzhou is not a good place like it is now. Dengzhou is actually a place that is invincible at this time.

And it is also a dangerous place. Because Dengzhou is a good port, there are many pirates. These pirates burn, kill, loot, so Dengzhou is still very dangerous.

Ang Lee proposed to go to Dengzhou, which really surprised everyone.

Originally, Wu Zetian wanted to reject it, but then the four prime ministers, except Di Renjie, all came to Wu Zetian's palace and begged Wu Zetian to agree to Ang Lee's submission. If they didn't agree, they would kneel on the ground and not get up. In fact, these four prime ministers were doing the right thing.

If Li Dan wants to take office, then Ang Lee must be expelled because Ang Lee is a time bomb in Luoyang, and no one knows when Ang Lee will explode.

Even if Ang Lee and Li Dan have a good relationship, so what? What should I do if Ang Lee wants the throne?

So letting Ang Lee leave Luoyang is the best choice.

With the begging of the four prime ministers, Wu Zetian was helpless in the end. Just less than ten days before the Spring Festival, Wu Zetian ordered Ang Lee to agree to Ang Lee's resignation, take back the title of General Li Ang Lee's Tiance, and leave Luoyang within three days.

The cold wind drifted from snow... The day after receiving the imperial edict, Anyu left Luoyang with his wife and family. The Sanqianjie family army was still following Ang Lee. When he left, Li Dan came to see Ang Lee, and the father and son said for half an hour in the carriage.

Li Dan cried very sadly and made a promise that when he became an emperor, he would definitely take Ang Lee back.

Li Chengqi accompanied his father to see Ang Lee out, but he cried so hard that he couldn't bear to see Ang Lee out. Unfortunately, Li Longji did not come to see Ang Lee out. At this time, Li Longji was very busy. He was contacting many old ministers of Li Tang, hoping that they would unite and protect his father to become the crown prince.

Di Renjie was originally going to resign and leave with Ang Lee, but Ang Lee asked Di Renjie for one thing, that is, to take care of his uncle... Ang Lee said a worry in front of Di Renjie, and it was also because of this worry that Di Renjie stayed and expressed his intention to protect Li Dan.

The wind and snow were getting heavier. At this moment, Ang Lee knelt down to Li Dan, then kowtowed, and then kowtowed to the Luoyang Palace and kowtowed.

Then they got on the carriage, and Li Dan and Li Chengqi cried so hard that they could not help themselves, but Ang Lee left without regret.

On the third day after Ang Lee left, Li Longji told me something he had just found out, that was that Lai Junchen was placing charges to falsely accusing the kings of the Wu clan and Princess Taiping, and wanted to falsely accuse the imperial guards of the northern and southern yamen of Li Dan and the rebellion together, hoping to steal state power.

This report made the kings of the Wu family and Princess Taiping feared each other, exposing his sins together, and put him in prison. A department sentenced him to death. Wu Zetian wanted to pardon him, but the memorial for execution had been sent for three days, but he still did not approve it.

At this time, Wang Jishan said: "Lai Junchen is cruel and cunning, greedy and tyrannical, and is a great evil man in the country. If he does not get rid of him, he will inevitably shake the court."

When Wu Zetian visited the palace garden, Ji Xu led his horse. Wu Zetian asked him about the matter outside the palace. He replied: "The people outside only wondered that the memorial for executing Lai Junchen was not approved."

Wu Zetian said: "Lai Junchen has made contributions to the country, and I am considering this."

Ji Xu said: "Yu Anyuan sued Li Zhen for rebellion, but later he really rebelled. Yu Anyuan is now only appointed as Sima of Chengzhou. Lai Junchen gathered people who committed evil deeds and falsely accused good people. The corruption and bribery of property piled up like mountains. The ghosts who died unjustly by him are bad people who endanger the country. What's the pity!"

Wu Zetian then approved the execution of him.

Three days later, Wu Zetian was killed in the downtown area and displayed his body in public. People, both young and old, hated him and rushed to cut his flesh, and soon cut his flesh to nowhere.

When Wu Zetian learned that Lai Junchen hated the people so much, she issued an edict to accuse him of his crimes and said: "The whole family should be killed to relieve the resentment of the people. His property can be seized according to law."

After Lai Junchen died, both scholars and common people, men and women, people celebrated each other on the streets and said, "The backs of those who sleep in the future can be placed on the mat."

Following a news spread to the people, saying that Junchen's death was reported by Li Longji. For a moment, Li Longji's reputation among the people increased greatly, and many people believed that Li Dan had only one son, that was Li Longji.
