Chapter 201 The Gorgeous Ending(1/2)

Shangguan Wan'er, who had been with Wu Zetian for 16 years and was a shadow, came forward to speak, and Wu Zetian's personal male favorite Zhang Changzong admitted the monarch's murder in public. With the spirit of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Guards, it was difficult to effectively resist the government troops holding high the banner of the king.

After a storm of chaos, the tide of the government troops rushed into the courtyard where the Emperor's Palace was located. After some adjustments and deployments, the soldiers and horses of the king surrounded the three layers of the outer and three layers of the entire palace city.

For a moment, countless palace lanterns and torches were raised high, and the bright red lights shone on the entire sky. At this point, the thousands of soldiers who successfully completed the encirclement gradually calmed down, and finally they could hear the needle. Thousands of eyes retracted their eyes from the solemn and grand and profound palaces in front of them, and finally landed on the three people who slowly walked to the front of the team.

The man standing on the right of the three was short and strong, with a body of armor and dark blood. The man pressed a knife with his left hand, and his face covered with flesh was as twisted as a needle. The cold murderous intent that was revealed throughout his body was clearly sensible ten steps away.

The man in the middle was a tall and noble woman. Her skin was delicate and beautiful than peaches and plums. Her pair of phoenix eyes that inherited from her mother looked dazzling and drifting and deep due to excitement and too many thoughts in her heart. The night wind blowing from the inner court from the pool blew up the red flare on her back. While her clothes were rumbling violently, she also revealed a corner of the long sword under the flare.

It was the corner of the long sword that appeared in a striking light that revealed the woman's already roaring ambition in her heart, and the blood that was needed to calm the burning ambition.

Among the three, the only young man standing on the left was the most complicated expression. After witnessing the successful encirclement of heavy troops, he sighed with relief and his eyes no longer fell in front of him. It is said that the place where Wu Sansi and Di Renjie and other important officials were located, but fell to the courtyard a little further away through dots of palace lanterns and torches.

This was the place where the Holy Emperor rested. The tall and slender figure, even the biting night wind could not suppress his heroic spirit, looked at the emperor's bedroom for a long time, and his eyes that had not hesitated and gave in front of the battle with the imperial guards were now full of endless sadness.

This sadness like aged wine is not intense, but it is profound and long-lasting. With a strong historical storm, one drink can be enough to get drunk for a lifetime.

"Tang Song"

Taiping's voice was very low. Because his heart was too hot, it brought a thick tremolo to its voice.

Tang Song withdrew his gaze from the emperor's bedroom in the distance and sank the endless sorrow into the deepest part of his heart as the most precious collection in his life. Then he looked sharply towards Taiping.

Although Taiping was talking to Tang Song, he didn't look at him. He just stared at the pavilions in front of him. "Now, kill him as if he was killed? The people inside..."

At this point, Taiping suddenly lifted his hand and gestured downwards with a sharp cut, "No chicken or dog left."

She said this. The general with a armored armored sword on his left, with a fleshy face and a steel needle, drew his sword when he was pulled out. The sound of the "kneading" waist knife leaving the sheath is like a sharp roaring ghost, which is breathtaking. It is very far away in this bloody palace night.

As the sword was raised to the sky, thousands of government troops used their swords at the same time, the blood blades of five thousand standard steel swords burst out under the reflection of the palace lights and fire. In an instant, the boundless murderous intent storms burst out like wind and thunder in the sky.

This is a question that Taiping repeatedly asked when he first sent troops. Until now, the siege of heavy troops has been established, it can no longer be delayed.

At this time, Taiping was burned by the pain of wild hope in his chest, and the rushing blood even dyed her eyes that should have been beautiful.

Looking at Taiping, who had transformed into a female wolf, Tang Song knew very well that for him, the biggest danger in his life at this moment was no longer Wu Sansi. But Taiping around him. After a long sigh, he whispered: "You are too big. But I am so sorry that the foundation in the court and the local area is too shallow. It is so difficult to support the world's nine tripods with a limited and shallow foundation? If this killing continues, it will also create a dead end to the end. Whether you can finally ascend to the supreme position is still between the two. Even if you can ascend the throne smoothly, you will face a continuous rebellion that you cannot even quell for a lifetime. Is such an emperor really what you want?"

At this point, Tang Song reached out to pull over Taiping's shoulders, forcing her bloodshot eyes to meet her eyes, and whispered sternly: "A step back at this moment, you can earn the most important contribution to the king to support the country; but one step forward will be an abyss of unpredictable consequences. Once you fail and die, are you ready? Once you are in trouble, are you ready? Once you are like a painting of the country, you will return to the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, are you ready? Once you bear the reputation of the world forever, are you despised and despised? Are you ready?"

Taiping fell into a difficult choice to make it violently. His pink lips, as tender as spring flowers, were bitten and bleeding, "The Queen Mother..."

Tang Song didn't give her any chance to be lucky. She shook Taiping's shoulders. Although her voice was low, it became more and more rapid. "Your mother's generation is a great man. Before ascending the throne, she had actually been in charge of great power for 30 years. After thirty years of preparation, it is still inevitable that Li Zhen would raise an army in Yuzhou, Li Chongbozhou, and Xu Jingye would raise an army in Yangzhou to rebel, let alone you? Li Lingyue didn't wake up quickly!"

Just as Taiping fell into the confusion of the war between heaven and man, another bloody killing might be about to begin. Just as Tang Song was facing the biggest crisis since time traveling, a "creak" sound came, and the door of the side hall in front slowly opened from the inside out.

This opened door attracted the attention of all the government troops. What came out from it was not Wu Sansi who everyone thought, but Di Renjie, the chief political affairs assistant in Fang Jin.

Di Renjie completely ignored the sword cluster composed of five thousand long cold swords. After standing in front of the government army to Princess Taiping and the other two, he opened the Minghuang edict in his hand and recited it loudly. Although the words in the edict were somewhat parallel to four, six, which made many ordinary soldiers unable to understand them all, the basic meaning was that everyone understood.

The prequel of the Holy Emperor's death is located in Luling King Li Xian, which means that there is a new emperor in Fang today.

This news was too shocking, but for these most ordinary government troops, since it was the Ming Huang imperial edict presented by Di Renjie, and since the content of this edict was recited from him, it could not be fake.

Just like the torrent of tribute students alone at the gate of the palace city that day, facing the imperial guards' blades could not stop it, Di Renjie made a very complicated matter extremely simple with the reputation accumulated over decades of "the saints are impermanent and the hearts of the people".

The elephant is invisible, and the sound is loud and the sound is faint. Some people don’t speak, but once they speak, others—at least these civilians—will believe it without doubt.

The world is full of turmoil, with tens of thousands of officials all over the world. Only Di Renjie and Lu Yuanfang can do this.

Seeing that the government soldiers began to spread the word of mouth, Tang Song put down a huge rock in his heart, and it was too time for Di Renjie to appear.

With the appearance of Di Renjie and the reading of the edict, the military army was already shaking. He didn't rush in to kill him just now, and it was too late to order him again. Let's not talk about others, let these military soldiers kill Di Renjie, whom they regard as gods in their hearts. As soon as this order was issued, the army would mutiny immediately.

This objectively means that Di Renjie helped Taiping make a decision, a decision that was to take a step back and be patient, and this decision was directly related to Tang Song's life and death.

He acted with Taiping tonight, and the relationship between the two was too close. If Taiping really wanted to butcher the knife, Tang Song had to bear the consequences, and this was really unbearable!

However, Tang Song's heart was relieved for only a few seconds, and when he suddenly thought of something, his heart suddenly sank again.

How did the edict read by Di Renjie come from?

Wu Zetian had no intention of letting Li Xian succeed to the throne. Combined with the previous situation in the inner palace, this false edict could only be done by Wu Sansi. Such actions were naturally a way to save his life after seeing that the situation was over.

At this point, Tang Song became more cautious about Wu Sansi. It was obvious that he was at the end of his life, but in a blink of an eye he created such a situation of darkness and glory. This guy's opportunity changed too quickly and his ability to seize opportunities was too strong, so he would never be able to stay.

Tang Song naturally didn't know that Wu Sansi's last trick to save his life was actually a masterpiece from Zong Chuke. This former Jinshi of the Gaozong Dynasty had the good habit of ancient strategists who were used to "being convinced to lose without considering victory" when encountering problems. Therefore, when he was summoned by Wu Sansi, he clearly proposed to bring Li Xian, the King of Luling, into the palace, and then when he was drafting a fake edict for Wu Sansi, he prepared one more.

It was precisely this seemingly unnecessary backup plan at the time that gave Wu Sansi the last chance to change.

I knew whether the twists and turns were not important to Tang Song anymore. At this moment, he was only thinking about one thing, one thing that he had to do tonight.

At this time, Taiping around him breathed a sigh of relief, and there was unwillingness in it, but more of the relief after being entangled.

Tang Song ignored her and just stared at the door of the side hall.

Following Di Renjie, the Luling King Li Xian and his wife came out, followed by the dull-looking King Wu Youyi of Jian'an.

When the man behind Wu Youyi walked out of the dim side hall slowly, Tang Song's eyes suddenly shrank.

Wu Sansi finally appeared.

As soon as Wu Sansi appeared, someone who recognized him immediately shouted loudly. After this call broke, the crowd was in an uproar. Wu Sansi, with a panic expression, shrank his body tightly behind Li Xian and his wife.

Seeing this, Tang Song first looked at Di Renjie. The prime minister was famous for his selflessness when he was in the trial of the case. At this moment, he was in front of him, which is the best quick knife to be used to kill Wu Sansi.

After reading the edict, Di Renjie stood in front of the side hall without saying a word, and his eyelids drooped at any time, as if he had encountered something he didn't want to see and closed his eyes. At the same time, the skin on his face and between his neck was very frowned and loose.

In short, Di Renjie at this moment was full of old and tiredness. In Tang Song's eyes, even his iconic upright waist seemed to be bent a lot.

Although Di Renjie was really a sharp knife used to kill Wu Sansi at this moment, when Tang Song saw his description carefully, he was softened by the inexplicable sadness, and he could no longer bear to speak out and force this old man who was destined to be extremely painful at this time.

After retracting his gaze, Tang Song turned around and pulled out the tied Zhang Changzong from the crowd of soldiers. His actions gradually calmed down the noise in front of the side hall.

After dragging Zhang Changzong to Di Renjie, Li Xian and others, Tang Song kicked him to the ground with one kick, and then said coldly: "Say"

Zhang Changzong repeated the words he had said before the inner palace guards with a dull expression. From Wu Sansi's explanation of the threats and temptations he took to the later actions, there was no omission.

As he told, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, Di Renjie's eyes closed tighter, Wu Sansi hid deeper behind Li Xian and his wife, and the corners of the eyes of Princess Wei of Luling were also thrust, not knowing what idea was going on.

Before Zhang Changzong could finish his words, there were already soldiers from the palace shouting loudly and shouting loudly, and the sound of killing was shocking.

In this regard, Zhang Changzong, who had experienced it, did not hear about it, and after the shouts of killing were over, he continued to say all that he should say.

At this time, the shouts of killing sounded again, and they pointed out that they wanted to kill Zhang Changzong and Wu Sansi.

After the wave of shouting for killing became weaker, Tang Song bowed to Luling King Li Xian, "Wu Sansi killed his aunt with his son and nephew. He killed the king with his ministers, and lost all his loyalty and filial piety. What should he not die if such a crazy person? He asked me Wang Jun to order him to punish these unfaithful and unfilial rebels to calm the morale of the army and to correct the hearts of the people."

Li Xian said no, and his eyes naturally looked at Princess Wei, the Princess Luling beside him.

As a woman, Wei was not at all discomfort. "If you really do this, no matter who it is, you will be disgusted by heaven and punish him! Zhang Changzong, since you are the important minister of the royal family, King Liang, instruct you to kill the king, you can give evidence. If there are too many, it is a piece of paper and a piece of words."

Zhang Changzong looked up in confusion. But Wei became more and more kind, "Or you haven't brought this secret with you? It doesn't matter, as long as you tell me a location, I will ask the King of Kings to send someone to get it. As soon as the evidence arrives, I will immediately kill King Liang in front of the army."

"I have no evidence. How could he leave evidence for this?"

"There is no evidence" Wei frowned his beautiful distant eyebrows and said sadly: "This is difficult. If the important ministers of the Liang Kingdom are killed by the generals, where will the rule of law be established? Furthermore, the sage's favor for the King of Liang during his lifetime is known to everyone in the world. In this case, how could the King of Liang develop a monarchy? If he kills him first without clear evidence, it is difficult for the world to accept it."

Wei's words were told in a slight manner, closely following the rules of the country, the hearts of lovers in the world were completely flawed. Seeing that she was about to take Wu Sansi out of this great disaster and completely put the crime of regicide on Zhang Changzong, Tang Song took a step forward, "There is evidence of Wu Sansi's murder of his brother Wu Chengsi. Come on, take Yu's."

Tonight, for the five thousand ordinary government troops, if you catch Zhang Changzong and eventually kill him, this move to enter the palace to serve the king can be explained, and Wei's only saw this. But for Tang Song, it was a great failure to enter the palace and fail to stop Wu Zetian from being killed. If Wu Sansi escaped again, it would be a complete defeat.

Therefore, ordinary soldiers of the palace can give in, but he must not give in.

Yu was Wu Chengsi's favorite concubine and the direct executor who poisoned him. Therefore, the target of entering the palace was directly aimed at Wu Sansi, so Tang Song and Taiping brought her over together when they fought.

Regarding this, Wu Sansi, whose face had just calmed down, was not nervous at all, and even glanced at Tang Song with infinite hatred.

Tang Song always paid attention to him, and naturally saw this glance, and naturally understood the meaning of his glance. Even if Wu Chengsi's favorite concubine was pulled out? As long as Wei was willing to protect him, he could still use the statement that the minister who could not kill the country without evidence was just now as a ruling.

Just as Zhang Changzong said, how could Wu Sansi leave a clear evidence for something like conspiring to kill Wu Chengsi?

But Tang Song could naturally think of the joints he could understand.

Just as the government army led Yu from the deepest part of the crowd, Tang Song slowly stepped forward, narrowed the distance with Wei, and whispered: "Wu Sansi is cruel and has greater ambitions. Are these people really willing to live under the underestimate for a long time? At this time, when the strength of the Wu clan and the Wu Party in the court was not damaged at all, the princess would not be afraid that he would retaliate against the other day?"

Wei raised his eyebrows, but Wu Sansi, behind her, changed his expression suddenly.

Tang Song struck while the iron was hot and advanced step by step. "Now there are five thousand soldiers who are serving the king and Ma Tong heard that Di Gong read the edict, and King Luling ascended the throne and said that the system was a foregone conclusion. What's the use of Wu Sansi staying there? If the princess had planned to stabilize the court in the future, wouldn't King Jian'an be a better candidate?"

Wei's brows moved again, but Wu Sansi was overwhelmed with panic. Because Tang Song's words really hit his weakness, the ascension of King Luling was a foregone conclusion. King Wu Youyi of Jian'an could replace him to comfort the Wu clan and the Wu Party in the court. He had done all the things he could do for Li Xian and Wei. What's the benefit of leaving him with no use value but only threats?

At this time, Li Xian, who had never spoken around, suddenly whispered, "The King of Liang is the father-in-law of the family. If his crime is confirmed, his legitimate son Wu Chongxun will inevitably be punished. In this way, wouldn't Anle be a widow before marriage and lose his reputation?"

Like his younger brother Li Dan, Li Xian was very bad as an emperor, but he valued family affection. This characteristic in their character was also an important reason why Empress Wei and Princess Anle were able to do whatever they wanted, and when Li Dan was emperor, Taiping could do whatever he wanted.

Princess Anle was the youngest daughter of Li Xian and Wei Concubine. She was born on the way to Fangzhou. The conditions were extremely difficult at that time, so Li Xian had to take off his clothes to wrap the baby. Anle was therefore named Li Guer. It also originated from this that both Li Xian and his wife felt guilty about this daughter. In addition, during their more than ten years of imprisonment, this daughter brought a lot of joy to Li Xian, which made him more and more pampered. With such a background, he said this at this moment, which was really in line with his personality.

But his interruption made Tang Song not know what to say. What should he do to Wei Fei for his advantage?

After Li Xian said that, Concubine Wei never answered him. Although she didn't say anything to Tang Song, she glanced deeply.

Before, it was because Wu Sansi was still valuable that Concubine Wei protected him. Then the situation developed too fast and Wu Sansi's value disappeared too fast. It was just that Concubine Wei didn't realize it for a while, so it was enough to have these two words of Tang Song to give him some advice.

Similarly, although Concubine Wei didn't say anything at this moment, for Tang Song, it was enough to have this and a touching look.

After returning a clear look, Tang Song turned around and retreated to Taiping.

After a long time, Taiping's crazy heart finally slowly began to calm down. Seeing Tang Song approaching, he snorted coldly and whispered: "What did you say to that bitch? Humph. Is it so comfortable to be flirted with eyebrows?"

Tang Song was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he just hung his hand around Taiping's waist.

At that time, Yu had been taken to Li Xian and others to kneel down. Like Zhang Changzong, he began to tell the story of being instructed by Wu Sansi to poison Wu Chengsi.

At this time, Wu Sansi was as ants on a hot pan. Tang Song's previous heart-killing words in front of Concubine Wei made him feel anxious. But then Li Xian's words gave him some comfort.
To be continued...
