Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 443 Seeing the Xuanwu Sect Again

To Lu Su, the duplicitous Sun Hou mentioned by Pang Tong was unfamiliar.

But comparing what Sun Hou has done in the past three years, and what Pang Tong said, Lu Su had already died due to the epidemic at that time, and considering the resolute surrender of the Jiangdong family before the Battle of Chibi, it can be considered a sign overall. Can be followed.

But this Li Xian in front of him didn't have the slightest bit of the emperor's temperament. He entertained people with sex in the harem and wandered around for free. Lu Su blushed when he thought about the meaning of these four words.

To say that he is stupid is to make up for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the magnanimity and methods revealed in him would be too inconsistent with the position of the Emperor.

Lu Su was puzzled by what Pang Tong said about the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and was deeply shocked.

"This Li Xian is definitely not stupid." Liu Bei pinched his eyebrows and sighed. He felt from the bottom of his heart that this Tang Dynasty was really capable of tossing. What he had seen in less than an hour was far beyond what he could have imagined in the past few decades.

As for Li Xian's mentality, he could guess a little bit:

"If a king treats his ministers like a bandit, then his ministers will regard him as a piece of clay."

"If the divine dragon remains unchanged, then Li Xian's position as Empress Wu will be justified, and he will not be guilty of a son attacking his mother."

"If a ruler and his ministers are separated from each other, they will inevitably be suspected of being greedy for merit. They will not use it if they are suspicious. This is only the result of the young people taking advantage of the situation."

To put it simply, the motivation is understandable, but the measures taken are difficult to accept.

only……

"What does this kind of behavior have to do with greenness?"

As a young man from the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was really puzzled.

There are quite a lot of green embellishments in the imperial crown uniform of the Emperor of Han Dynasty.

The crown is painted black on the outside and red and green on the inside.

The large ribbon of the mianfu has green surrounding and green brocade underneath. Among the six colors of the large ribbon, there is also green, while the small ribbon only has three colors. In addition to black and white, it is green. It can be said that green is a very important color in the emperor's clothing.

If it were put to the common people, it would be even more...

"That's right, my second brother likes cuckolds. What's wrong with Qinglu?"

Zhang Fei was making a lot of noise, but for some reason, when Liu Bei heard what his third brother said, something suddenly hit his heart and he had a bad premonition.

Wei Zheng was heartbroken:

"The dignified emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually followed the behavior of the thieves of the country to win people's hearts and undermined his majesty and messed up the etiquette and law! This is extremely unwise."

The person who robbed the country was naturally the Tian family of Dai Qi. It took a hundred years to finally rob the country.

The man who killed Duke Jian of Qi was named Tian Chengzi. One of his methods to win people's hearts was to select hundreds of women over seven feet tall as concubines. After that, he could not help but let the guests enter and exit the harem.

This kind of behavior was criticized in the Spring and Autumn Period, let alone today.

Wei Zheng could only say that he was really opened his eyes. He didn't expect that this old strategy could still be used by someone after an unknown number of years, and it was also the emperor of the same country.

The others were speechless. Although they had thought about the possibility of a disturbance, they did not expect that the disturbance would be so explosive as soon as it started.

What's even more frightening is that based on the experience gained from watching the light curtains of later generations, these are just appetizers at this time.

Everyone suddenly felt heavy in their hearts, and only Fang Xuanling could smile bitterly at the younger generation's comments about Yao Chong.

At this time, it seems that the later generations said that Zizhi Tongjian's evaluation of Empress Wu was correct. At least, the behavior of "incompetent people will be found and deposed, or they may be punished" is much better than Li Xianshi. .

The politics of ruthless officials can only be said to be a sign of the weakening of the imperial court. Compared with the corruption of the imperial court caused by the actions of Wu Sansi and others, it is still much stronger.

But Fang Xuanling also vaguely noticed that Li Xianshi's chaotic wind might be particularly strong.

[After Li Xian proclaimed himself emperor again, his true eldest son Li Chongrun was ordered to death by Awu. This incident also included the eldest son Li Chongfu, who was jointly deposed by Li Xian and Empress Wei and was not recalled until his death.

However, in the feudal era of the dynasty, the establishment of the emperor's heir has always been one of the guarantees for the stability of the political power. Li Xian did not have much choice in this regard. Finally, in 706, he officially issued an edict to establish Li Chongjun as the crown prince.

Li Chongjun was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son. This was a standard victory, but the Lord of the East Palace was not happy because no one liked him, and even his sister was trying to take his position.

First of all, Li Xian trusted Wu Sansi quite a lot.

More than one person knew that Wu Sansi used Li Xian's harem to run business outside. Someone risked his life to write a memorial and handed it to Li Xian, hoping that the emperor could clean up the court.

As a result, when Li Xian went out of the palace to play at Wu Sansi's house, he took this memorial as a joke and showed it to Wu Sansi, so the matter naturally dropped.

In addition, Wu Sansi's political opponents are the Five Dragon Kings. In this regard, he is consistent with Li Xian. Under such great political demands, any harem is not a problem.

It was also because of the joint efforts of Wu Sansi, Empress Wei, and Li Xian that the five Shenlong Kings took just over a year from the coup to their death, which was very efficient.

With these three parties gaining power, Princess Anle rose rapidly.

The reason is also very simple. First of all, Princess Anle is the favorite young daughter of Li Xian and Queen Wei.

Secondly, Princess Anle married Wu Chongxun, Wu Sansi's son, and was Wu Sansi's daughter-in-law.

How much does Li Xian love this daughter? Princess Anle once drafted her own edict, but covered up the previous content and asked Li Xian to sign it. Li Xian signed and sealed it without even reading it.

Relying on this favor, after the fall of the Five Shenlong Kings, Princess Anle asked herself to be the crown princess. Li Xian did not agree to this, but he did not refuse it explicitly.

Li Xian may not be able to bear to speak out because of his love for his daughter, but such a vague attitude is equivalent to telling others that it is not impossible to talk about making a woman a prince.

So after ten years, the Wu family became excited again because they felt that the throne was beckoning to them again.

This time the Wu family worked together again. One of the things Wu Sansi would do every time he entered the palace was to speak ill of the prince Li Chongjun; Wu Chongxun also taught his daughter-in-law how to "ignore" Li Chongjun at home.

Princess Anle did a pretty good job and directly called Li Chongjun a slave in the palace. Li Chongjun was not angry, but Princess Anle took it for granted: You are a concubine, what are you if you are not a slave?

After being bullied for about a year, Li Chongjun did something very decisive: he rushed to Wu's house and chopped Wu Sansi into pieces, and then led the imperial army to imitate his great-grandfather Li Shimin and take the throne for himself.

Logically speaking, Li Chongjun cannot mobilize the Imperial Army, but the wonderful thing is that when Wu Sansi and others politically overthrew the Five Shenlong Kings, they also convicted and punished all the Imperial Army members who participated in the coup, but did not mobilize them. Leaving Chang'an or being completely deposed.

The four leaders of the Forbidden Army were thinking about trying to be a slave to the dragon, but they didn't expect that they would not get the credit and they all became thieves together. Therefore, when Li Chongjun came to them, they hit it off and acted very neatly.

Li Chongjun, in collaboration with the left Yulin generals Li Duozuo and Li Sichong, and the right Yulin generals Li Chengkuang, Dugu Yizhi, and Sha Zha Zhongyi, led more than a thousand forbidden troops to directly attack and kill the Wu family in the name of killing thieves. The general Wu Sansi thought of Wu Chongxun. Waiting for dozens of people to be hacked to death.

After killing Wu Sansi to vent his anger, Li Chongjun took advantage of the situation and ordered to march to the palace, intending to learn from his successful experience and ask his father to confer the title of Supreme Emperor.

But if Erfeng saw this plan with his own eyes, he would probably shake his head.

The reason is very simple. Because of the nature of the ancient palace facing south, if you attack from south to north, you need to conquer the imperial city first and then the palace city. In the middle, you need to conquer about seven or eight palace gates before you can approach the emperor's palace.

And what if we steal the palace from north to south? As long as Xuanwu Gate is conquered, we can directly approach the emperor's palace.

Li Chongjun had thousands of people from beginning to end. After killing Wu Sansi, the entire southern palace had already received the news and started martial law. When he found that the south could not be conquered and went around to the north to attack Xuanwu Gate, Li Xian had already summoned people to block Xuanwu Gate. door, and then stood on the city gate tower and began to ask the imperial guards to surrender.

Unable to attack, Li Chongjun could only flee for his life in a hurry. In the end, he was trapped and exhausted in Huxian County, and his head was cut off by his cronies and sent to the official to show his merit.

In the final analysis, this coup was the first rebellion by young people and lacked a meticulous plan like His Majesty Erfeng.

Moreover, the understanding of the role of Xuanwu Sect was not deep enough, which ultimately led to failure. 】
