Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 804
Three days later, Dunhuafang was captured. However, what is interesting is that the people in Dunhuafang disappeared at this time, and all of them were transferred away. Wu Zetian was furious and directly decreed that all the people in Dunhuafang were rebellious.

Then Wu Zetian began to read the edict: "Seven days will be placed in the coffin, and the crown prince will be the emperor in front of the coffin. The garden mausoleum system is to be frugal. If there are important military affairs that cannot be decided, please ask the queen to make a decision."

The posthumous title of the ministers is Tianhuang Dadi, and the temple name is Gaozong.

Two days later, he was buried in Qianling.

And then let Li Hong succeed to the throne and become the emperor, but just after Li Hong became the emperor, he was directly placed under house arrest in the palace, not allowed to predict political affairs, and started the life of a puppet emperor.Not only could he not enter and leave the palace at will, he could not even move freely in the palace.

At this time, Wu Zetian already regarded Li Hong as his stumbling block, so Wu Zetian already had the power to listen to politics behind the curtain, but he was still not satisfied. Now Wu Zetian had thought of the throne of the emperor.

So at this time, she suddenly discovered that the children have become her biggest obstacle. It only takes one thought to change from love to hate, and family affection is not important at all.

Then Wu Zetian directly put Li Hong and all his children under house arrest. In order to cleanse the court, Wu Zetian ordered to make copper boxes (copper boxes, similar to prosecution boxes and retribution boxes), and placed them in front of Chang'an Palace City. For prolonging favor (those who offer odes and eulogies, and seek official careers vote for it), solicit advice (those who speak about the gains and losses of the government vote for it), redress grievances (those who have grievances vote for it), Tongxuan (those who speak about celestial disasters and military secrets vote for it) Four sisters, accept the world's representations at any time.

This move to spread the word is to deliberately clean up those pro-Tang sects.

Wu Zetian supervised the clan and ministers, and stipulated that anyone could inform.Those who are informers are not allowed to interrogate them privately, and the state will provide them with stage carriages, horses and food.Even if they were farmers and woodcutters, Wu Zetian personally met them.If what you tell is in line with the will, you can be promoted in an exceptional way.If it is not true, there will be no questioning of guilt, so informers from all over the world flocked.

Among them, as long as all the rebels Li You are accused of being promoted, at this time, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Hou Sizhi and others were awarded official positions in charge of the prison through informants, forming a "cruel official politics". They use all kinds of torture and interrogation, and there is no one who can get out of prison alive.In this way, with the increasing trend of informants, more and more people were tortured to death by cruel officials.Therefore, "everyone in court is in danger, and dare not talk to each other when they meet each other." Every time the ministers go to court, they have to say goodbye to their families.

"The decree has arrived!"

"puff!"

A group of Xuanzhi eunuchs who came from Chang'an was directly beheaded. A total of 15 people had their throats cut with a single knife.

At this time, Li You walked out of the tent with tears in his eyes, and then he heard Li You's order: "The whole army returns to Beijing...!"

There were 30 troops left in Goguryeo, and the remaining [-] Tang troops began to return to Beijing in an orderly manner. It is very strange that the news of Li Zhi's funeral has spread to the whole army, but there is no Tang army in the Tang army at this time. This is very unscientific.

Because you must know that Li You has been defined as a rebel by Wu Zetian's decree, as long as Li You is killed, he can be crowned king, but none of the soldiers in the Tang army has such a heart.

Instead, with Li You's order, the army turned like a terrifying war machine without any hindrance.

"Your Highness, please mourn!"

Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and other generals all came to Li You's side, because Li You's eyes have already explained Li You's pain, so everyone came to comfort Li You together.

Here, Li You also nodded: "I didn't expect that I and Your Majesty would be separated from heaven and man, let alone that Wu Meiniang would become the queen mother and control the courtiers all over the country. This king would also become a rebellious rebel. That's great, but you know, as long as one of you takes this king's head, you can go to Wu Meiniang to become king."

As he spoke, Li You laughed.

But all the generals present knelt down and shouted: "The last general dare not!"

"Hey!" With a sigh, Li You said slightly: "I know you don't dare, it's just talking, I don't know what I did wrong, get up, let's go back to Beijing, and meet that Wu Meiniang, this king Let's see, what exactly does she want to do to my Li family's Great Tang Dynasty?"

After speaking, Li You walked into the tent.

The news of Li You's return to Beijing was sent back to Chang'an, and Wu Zetian followed behind and immediately decreed that all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty must fight the enemy bravely.

These rewards were not unreasonable, but what Wu Zetian didn't expect was that when Li You arrived in Youzhou three days later, the governor of Youzhou led all the soldiers out of the city to meet Li You in person, and had no intention of fighting Li You at all.

Not only that, Yunzhou, Daizhou, Taiyuan Prefecture, Luzhou, Bianzhou, Luozhou, Puzhou, all went directly to Chang'an. Li You was unimpeded along the way. One hundred thousand gold, from the princess to Wang Tu, Wu Zetian gave everything he could, but still no one dared to stop Li You.

Especially on the day Li You arrived in Chang'an, those Wu Zetian's people all scattered and ran for their lives, Wu Zetian herself panicked, she didn't know why this happened, why those troops didn't attack Li You.

I have already set such high conditions, why didn't any of those troops dare to use force against Li You, and even after Li You arrived in Chang'an, all his confidantes fled away.

Wu Zetian couldn't figure out what was wrong and why this happened.

It is undeniable that Wu Zetian is very powerful, but Wu Zetian was able to sit on the position of emperor, more or less there is a lot of luck in it, Wu Zetian sat on the emperor because of Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji almost defeated the Li family who had a little ability up.

Following Li Zhi's backhand, he overthrew Changsun Wuji and let Wu Zetian's people control the government, so Wu Zetian could control these people smoothly. More importantly, Li Zhi was still there at that time. With Li Zhi in Wu Zetian, it was orthodox .

But now that Li Zhi is dead, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty is still alive, the fool also knows what to do. Another point is that Li You's reputation is too loud. He used to be King Qi, and later he was General Tiance.

More importantly, he is the fifth son of Emperor Taizong. If all the former sons are dead, then the position of emperor belongs to Li You. Will hand over his fate to the hands of a surname Wu.

What's more, this person surnamed Wu also sued for a measure of reporting, so no one will follow Wu Zetian.

Standing outside Chang'an City, Li You sighed slightly. At this time, Yu Zhining, Shangguanyi and other prime ministers and all the officials came to welcome them. After seeing Li You, all the officials knelt down, crying You must know that this Wu Zetian has harmed all the officials.

Because Wu Zetian knew that he still had resistance, he directly dealt with those old officials of Li and Tang in less than a month and a half. At least more than 200 old officials of Li and Tang were tortured.

Those who do not bow their heads will die, and those who bow their heads will be injured.

In order to get the so-called prisoners he captured to confess, Zhou Xing, the informant executioner, also used a lot of tortures, such as "fixing the hundred pulses", "losing the soul and gallbladder", etc. Because these methods are too cruel, people who come in often have no time to use torture. His legs would become weak, and Zhou Xing would put him to death for any crime.

There is also Lai Junchen. At first, Lai Junchen was just a gangster in the market, stealing chickens and dogs, fighting, and doing nothing.Wu Zetian knew it well, but this kind of person was what she needed. It would be better for people with no bottom line to do some things like this.In this way, Junchen became an official by harming others.

There is a saying that big things are turned into small things, and small things are turned into small things.But Lai Junchen had to do the opposite. Often a small case would become a heinous big case after his arrangement, and these big cases were basically related to treason.Because it is fatal to be involved in rebellion, and this approach is in the arms of Wu Zetian.It just happened to take the opportunity to eliminate some people, and by the way, some people were involved, and that would be everyone's happiness.

In order to beat the captured people into tricks, Lai Junchen also invented some tortures: cranes spreading their wings, dragonflies standing on their heads, etc.The family members of the officials who died tragically under these tortures amounted to a shockingly hundreds of people.

After listening to the crying, Li You said directly: "Zhou Xing cut, Lai Junchen, cut, Wan Guojun, cut!"

"I got the order!" Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui got the order immediately, and then all the officials were overjoyed, and followed Li You and continued: "The informant system is abolished. Now, everyone, would you like to go to Daming Palace with me?"

"The minister is willing.!"

All the officials bowed down. After that, Li You and his party came to the Daming Palace in a mighty manner. Wherever they went, all the guards put down their weapons and knelt down on the ground. No one dared to resist Li You.

Soon, Li You brought all the officials to the Daming Palace. In the Daming Palace, Li Hong was sitting on the dragon chair, Wu Zetian was sitting behind the curtain, and Yang Qu was standing beside Li Hong.

"Uncle!!" Seeing Li You, Li Hong shouted excitedly, and then burst into tears, but Wu Zetian shouted from above: "Li You, you are rebellious, Aijia is the Queen Mother of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hong is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, don't you dare to steal the throne from your nephew, you want to be ridiculed by the world?"

At this time, Wu Zetian was still fantasizing about Li You not daring to touch Li Hong, imagining that Li You could share the world with her.

"However, you are still Li Hong's uncle, so the Ai family suggested that you can become the regent and participate in the government affairs with the Ai family, so that everyone can be happy, wouldn't it be better." Wu Zetian looked at Li You expectantly.

It's just that Li You didn't speak, but Yang Qu on the side said slightly: "You are not worthy!" After speaking, in Wu Zetian's astonishment, he walked to Li Hong's dragon chair, and directly pulled it out from the armrest of the dragon chair. I made a posthumous edict of Li Zhi.

In fact, this is the real edict of Li Zhi. Li Zhi has already written the edict since his health became worse and worse. The content of the edict is that if he is buried before the age of 50, the throne will be passed on directly To Tang Qi Wang Li You.

I hope that Li You can replace Li Zhi's will to take good care of the people of Datang, and also hope that he can take good care of Princess Jinyang and other brothers and sisters. Li Zhi always believes that his fifth brother is more suitable to be an emperor than himself.

After the edict was read out, Li Mingda immediately yelled cruelly: "Ninth brother...!" Then he fell into Li You's arms, knelt down with all the ministers and shouted: "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor! Hooray!!"

Wu Zetian ran out from behind the curtain in a panic and shouted: "Impossible, impossible, this is a fake will, this is Li You's conspiracy, the son of the Ai family is the emperor, and the Ai family is the queen mother, Li You, you are rebellious!" .”

"Mother, do you still want to be so obsessed?" Li Hong stood up from the dragon chair and cried: "Mother, what did you use to poison the father? I saw the father bleeding to death from seven holes. Royal father died, and I was put under house arrest, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Witch, you dare to poison my ninth brother?" Li Mingda widened his eyes and became excited.

"Hahahahaha!" Wu Zetian burst into laughter suddenly, followed madly and ran directly onto the dragon chair, then sat down on the buttocks and shouted: "Everyone loves you, I am the emperor Wu Zhao, I am the emperor Wu Zhao !"

However, he was pulled down by Yang Qu, and Li You walked to the side of the dragon chair step by step, touched Li Hong's head and said, "Don't worry, Hong'er, uncle will not wrong a good person, nor will he wrong him." A bad guy.!"

In 661 A.D., King Li You of Qi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. His reign name was Zhenyuan. Prince Li Zhan, Empress Quan Zhixi, and eldest princess Li Mingda. Three months later, Wu Zetian hanged herself to death.

Qi Wang Li You made good use of talents, paid attention to education, and rewarded production.He personally ordered that those who actively open up wasteland and farmland, develop cultivated land, and increase production will be rewarded.If the production is not done well and the people's lives are not stable, the local officials will be dismissed during the year-end assessment.

He also made an exception to promote a large number of talents, and encouraged the subordinates to recommend talents to their superiors. In addition, he also restricted and attacked the powerful nobles in his hands to enlighten politics.

The national population at that time was 380 million, but ten years later the national population reached 610 million.

"Fifth brother...!" In the Daming Palace, Li Mingda came to Li You's side, leaning on Li You as usual, feeling his sister's dependence, Li You smiled and said: "What's wrong today? It's because I'm afraid of getting married, you know Bao'er has been waiting for you for 30 years!"

"Hmph, even if he waits for a lifetime, he has made a lot of money." Li Mingda was slightly proud.

Li You laughed loudly: "Of course, my son is the best girl in the world, what is Xiao Baoer, if Xiao Baoer dares to bully you, Fifth Brother, I will order him to be locked up. "

"Hehe. Fifth Brother is the best for Sizi, but Fifth Brother doesn't know why I miss Ninth Brother. I just had a dream, and I dreamed that Ninth Brother smiled at me."

"Really.!" Li You also smiled: "He may be too happy. His sister who is in trouble is finally getting married, so hurry up and congratulate her."

"What are you talking about? Who is the boss?" After finishing speaking, Li Mingda started to yell at Li You. Li You was afraid of ticklish and could only smile and beg for mercy. At this moment, under the candlelight, a shadow also showed a smile. smile.
