Three hundred and ninetieth chapters everything is ready
After Li Xian got the news about Princess Taiping, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. This was not because he didn't believe in Princess Taiping's ability or her sincerity, but because he knew that from now on, the simple and kind Princess Taiping in the past would not be the same.
Now, the person delivering the news to him is Princess Taiping, who has mature political experience and is full of treacherous conspiracies.
Although he knew that all this had nothing to do with him, he still couldn't help but feel a kind of lament in his heart. In fact, from his heart, he really didn't want to see his sister become like this, because it made him feel sad.
He saw another Empress Wu.
However, he could only agree to Princess Taiping's kindness, because Princess Taiping knew too many of his secrets. If Princess Taiping got angry and reported to Empress Wu, I'm afraid he couldn't bear the loss. Don't say anything else.
Just exposing the relationship between Shangguan Wan'er and him would cause Empress Wu to retaliate, which he could not bear.
And the most important thing is that he doesn't want any rift to appear between them now. After all, the relationship between him and Princess Taiping for twenty years is so deep that he cherishes it very much and is not willing to destroy it at all.
During this period, despite the high pressure from Empress Wu, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. First of all, Wang Fangyi's 20,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers had secretly arrived outside Luoyang City. In fact, the 20,000 troops were only used to contain them.
What shocked Gar Gongren was that Li Xian paid enough attention to this die-hard Tubo loyalist, the son of Gar Qinling, and a great careerist, without any slightest care, and directly dispatched the most powerful subordinate under his command.
The elite Shenji Battalion went to deal with it.
Another point is that Li Xian's people have secretly contacted Princess Taiping Li Lingyue, Prime Minister Li Dan, Zuojianmen General Li Duozuo and others.
In fact, even Princess Taiping and Li Dan didn't know that Li Duozuo had always been Li Xian's, even though they had no contact with each other for nearly twenty years, and Li Xian even almost took Li Duozuo's place later.
The Su Mo tribe where he was born was destroyed, but Li Duozuo has always been loyal to Li Xian. Many people cannot believe this.
The fact is that Li Xian and Li Duozuo have been in close contact for so many years, but this contact was through secret channels. Even Li Xian's close ministers rarely knew about it.
Therefore, Li Xian's original treatment of the Sumo tribe was also approved by Li Duozuo. The reason why Li Duozuo agreed to this was that the soldiers of the Sumo tribe who were killed or later died fighting for the Tang Dynasty were actually the Great Tang soldiers.
It would be beneficial to both Li Duozuo and the Tang Dynasty to get rid of Zuorong's tribe. As for the assimilation of the entire Sumo tribe, Li Duozuo agreed because of his high recognition and recognition of the Tang Dynasty civilization.
Xin Xian, in his opinion, it is actually a great honor for his people to become the people of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, the Shaolin Temple also specially dispatched a hundred masters to assist.
In fact, Li Xian's master, Master Zhikong, has been paying close attention to Li Xian's news over the years. When he heard that Empress Wu began to sacrifice the butcher's knife to the Tang clan, he knew that it was time for Li Xian to fight back.
After discussion, the abbot of Shaolin decided decisively to send a hundred Shaolin masters to help.
These one hundred masters from the Shaolin Temple are personally led by Wu Ming, the senior brother of the Shaolin monks. Each one of them has outstanding martial arts skills. Even the worst one can defeat Zhang Wuchen, the number one lay disciple, within a hundred moves.
Under the care of some of the city guards, these Shaolin monks entered the city very easily. Then, relying on their superb body skills and taking advantage of some loopholes in the palace guards, they easily came to Li Xian's side.
Of course, these one hundred Shaolin monks, including Wu Ming, were hidden in the dark. Even though there were many masters in the palace, it was difficult to find them.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. We can raise troops at any time." In a side hall, Yao Chong, Li Xian's first adviser, whispered to him.
"Now is not the best time. I have to wait until her guard is at its most relaxed." Li Xian said softly: "Wait a moment. I believe that as long as she feels that she has a chance to win, she will definitely be on guard.
The most relaxed time.”
"How long do we have to wait? Your Majesty, you also know that that person is going on a killing spree right now. If one day is too late, our people will suffer a lot more losses. We are already impatient to wait."
Huan Yanfan on the side couldn't help but become anxious when he heard the words, and said with a little dissatisfaction. Now, through Li Xian's operation, he has been appointed as the Zhonglang General of the Zuo Yulin Army, and he happens to be in charge of the palace. He feels that everything is ready now, just right.
When he launched his "military remonstrance", Li Xian kept pushing back and his tone suddenly became disrespectful.
But Li Xian laughed and said: "Huan Aiqing, don't worry. In fact, I am more anxious than you, but you must be cautious when doing this kind of thing. There is still a lot of fighting power around that person. We should try our best to get things done."
To ensure that nothing goes wrong, at the same time, we must try our best to avoid losses, including losses to the enemy. After all, no matter what, those are my people of the Tang Dynasty."
After hearing Li Xian's last words, everyone immediately admired Li Xian, because Li Xian's words were really kind-hearted and had the air of a wise king.
It's just that they are all eagerly looking forward to Li Xian giving them an exact time, because as Huan Yanfan said, they are almost impatient with waiting.
"In the evening after three days, follow my arrangements." Li Xian looked at everyone with a smile, and then said softly.
"Three days later?" Guo Daiju, who had been removed from the position of prime minister at this time and was newly appointed as Guanglu Shaoqing, heard this, thought about it carefully, and then said: "If I remember correctly, it should be the day after tomorrow.
Is it time for the Queen Mother to hand over her power?"
It turned out that in order to appease everyone, Empress Wu promised to hand over power to Li Xian two months after Gaozong's death. She only participated in the resolution of the problem when it could not be solved.
Of course, Empress Wu couldn't mean what she said. However, when the time came, she had to make some concessions on the surface, especially now that the whole country was in turmoil. Under such circumstances, it was still possible to make a move to hand back the power.
It plays the role of paralyzing the rebels.
"That's right." Li Xian nodded and said, "Because of this, my mother-in-law will be more vigilant. Although we have more than 80% chance of winning in the past two days, the damage is too much and it is not appropriate to take action. Wait until
After I take power, I will naturally find ways to anger the other party. At this time, if I make some arrangements, I can turn passivity into initiative and accomplish great things in one fell swoop." (To be continued.)
