Queen Wei
In June of the first year of Tang Dynasty, Li Xian of Tang Zhongzong died suddenly. It is said that Wei Hou and Princess Anle poisoned and assassinated Li Xian, and people in government and public were in panic. After Wei wanted to be the regent of the imperial court, he acceded to the throne and changed his name to Yuan, leaving the North and South officials and guards in charge of the Wei family's children. Her heart of monopolizing power is obvious.
The Prime Minister Zong Chuke joined forces with Tai Changqing, Xing Nong, imperial academy Ye Jingneng and Wei family to persuade Wu Zetian to be emperor. At that time, the North and South Guards guarding Miyagi and the important ministers of Shangshu Province were controlled by Webster's children, who recruited party member in large numbers and colluded with each other inside and outside the imperial court. Zong Chuke secretly wrote a letter to the Queen Mother Webster's Dictionary, quoting Oracle Bone Inscriptions that Webster's Dictionary would replace the Tang Dynasty and claim to be the king of the world. Zong Chuke also planned to kill Li Zhongmao, but he was very worried that Prime Minister Li Dan and Princess Taiping would get in the way, so he plotted with Princess Wei Wen and Princess Anle to get rid of them.
Prior to this, Li Longji, the son of Linzi Wang Lidan, had been dismissed as a driver in Luzhou. He privately recruited smart and brave people in the capital to plan the revival of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of Emperor Taizong's reign, he selected brave and skillful officers and men in Fankou, asking them to wear clothes with tiger skin patterns and use saddles with leopard skin patterns. When Emperor Taizong was cruising and hunting, he told his attendants to shoot birds and animals together behind the saddle. These people are called Baima; During the period of Wu Zetian, it gradually increased to a thousand times, belonging to the left and right; Li Xian called this unit "Wan Qi" and sent officials to lead it. Li Longji paid tribute to all the heroes of the cavalry.
Cui Daily, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, has been attached to Wushi Group and made friends with Zongchu Branch. When he learned of Zongchuk's plot, he was worried that he would be doomed, so he sent Purun, a monk from Changbao Temple, to report to Li Longji in secret and suggested that Li Longji attack as soon as possible.
Therefore, Princess Taiping and her son Guo Wei's Chong, Guo Wei, director of Xijingyuan, Zhong Shaojing of Ganxian County, Chong of Shang Dynasty, Youqiu of the former dynasty, Li Renfu and others planned to send troops to attack first and eradicate Webster's Group. In order to establish their dignity, Weber and Gao Song whipped thousands of cavalry many times, which caused thousands of cavalry to be generally dissatisfied with them. Fushun and Chen told this story and suggested that they kill a group. Both expressed their willingness to commit suicide. Wan, also participated in the specific planning. It was suggested that Li Longji tell his father, King Li Xiangdan. Li Longji replied, "Our people did this for the country of the Tang Dynasty. After the job is done, the blessing belongs to Wang Xiang. In case of failure, we will sacrifice for our ancestors' projects.
On June 20th of the first year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, dressed in casual clothes, entered the Forbidden Park with Liu Youqiu and others and got together at Zhong Shaojing's residence. At this time, Zhong Shaojing had already regretted it, and he wanted to shut Li Longji out. His wife Xu said to him, "God will bless those who disregard their personal safety for the sake of national affairs. Besides, you always plan this with them. Even if you don't attend in person now, how can you get away with it? " After listening, Zhong Shaojing quickly opened the door to visit Li Longji, and Li Longji took his hand and sat with him.
At this time, the soldiers on the left and right wings began to enter Xuanwu Gate. When night fell, Ge Fushun and Li Xianfu came to Li Longji and asked for a signal and something for them to take action. Near the second watch, meteors are scattered in the night sky like snowflakes. Liu Youqiu said, "God's will, it's now or never!" Ge Fushun drew his sword and went straight into Yulin Village to kill Wei Cong and others. He shouted, "Wei Hou poisoned Qin Shihuang and put the country in danger. Tonight, everyone wants Qi Xin to work together to eradicate the Wei family and their best friends and kill all those who are higher than the whip; Take the king as the emperor and decide the world. If someone dares to help the rebels at both ends of the first mouse, the crime of conviction should be related to the three major families. "
All the soldiers in the army welcome me to work. So Ge Fushun gave the heads of Wei and others. Li Longji saw them under the light, and Liu Youqiu and others walked out of the south gate of the Forbidden Park. Zhong Shaojing led more than 200 craftsmen with axes and saws behind him. Li Longji ordered Zuo Wanqi to lead Ge Fushun to attack Xuande Gate, and Li Xianfu led right Wan Qi to attack White Beast Gate. The two sides agreed to meet in front of Lingyange and had a big fight. Ge Fushun and others killed the soldiers at the gate and broke into the palace. Li Longji led his troops outside Xuanwu Gate. At midnight, after hearing the drums in the palace, he led the director and Yu into the palace. After hearing the sound, the South Asian guards who were in charge of guarding the coffin of Zhongzong in Taijitang all dressed up to respond to Li Longji and others. In the chaos, Wei Hou escaped into the Flying Riding Camp, and a flying rider beheaded Wei Hou and gave his head to Li Longji. Princess Anle poked in front of the mirror and was killed by soldiers. In addition, Wu Yanxiu was beheaded outside Zhang Sumen and He Loushi was beheaded in Taijitang West.
When Li Longji led the army into the palace, Shangguan Waner led the imperial secretary to greet him with lanterns, and showed Liu Youqiu the manuscript of Li Xian's testamentary edict she had drafted. Liu Youqiu pleaded with Li Longji for her, but Li Longji disagreed and ordered Shangguan Zhaorong to be beheaded.
At this time, Li Zhongmao was in the Taiji Hall, and Liu Youqiu said to the crowd, "Everyone has an appointment to make Wang Xiang emperor tonight. Why don't you make a decision earlier now? " Li Longji quickly stopped him and ordered his men to arrest the wexler people in the palace and guard the gate of the palace. Those who were trusted and reused by Wei Hou were beheaded together. At dawn, the palace has been settled inside and outside.
On June 21st, the first year of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji rushed out to meet Li Dan, kowtowing and apologizing, saying that he had not told Li Dan before the uprising. Li Dan hugged Li Longji with tears and said, "It's all because of you that the ancestral hall of Datang has been preserved!" So Li Longji led the army to welcome Li Dan into the palace and assisted Li Zhongmao.
Ordered to close all the city gates and all the palace gates in Beijing, and then sent thousands of cavalry to search Wei's relatives, friends and disciples. Third-class Wei Wen, beheading Prince Shaobao and Tong Zhongshu, is in the northeast of the city. Zong Chuke, secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, dressed in mourning, escaped on a black donkey. When he arrived at Tonghua Gate, he was recognized by the soldiers guarding the gate. The soldier said to him, "You are Zong Shangshu!" Then he took off his hat and cut off his head. His younger brother Zong Jinqing was killed with him.
Li Dan served the young emperor and came to Anfumen to appease the people. At first, Zhao did not hesitate to exhaust the wealth of the country to please Princess Anle. He built houses and gardens endlessly for Princess Anle, even holding down his purple robe with his hands and driving the ox cart where the princess sat with his neck. After Princess Anle was killed, Zhao hurried downstairs to Anfu, dancing and shouting "Long live". After listening to his words, Li Dan ordered ten thousand cavalry to behead him. People have long hated Zhao's repeated labor. When they saw him killed, they scrambled to cut meat from him, leaving only a skeleton in an instant. The wife of Li Yong, secretary of Jianbian Wang, is Mrs. Guo Chong, my sister. He and Yu Shidou cut off his wife's head and gave it to Li Dan, the king of Xiang. Li Yong is the grandson of Li Feng. Wei Juyuan, a third-rate scholar under Zuo Hushe and Tong Zhongshu, heard the news of Li Longji Uprising, and his family advised him to escape. He replied, "As a court minister, how could I be in trouble?" Then he walked into the street and was killed by the mutinous soldiers. He is eighty years old. At this time, people have been sent to expose Ma and Ye Jingneng and expose them to the street. Cui went to Duqu, south of the capital, and killed other members of the Webster family, even the baby. Many Duqu people living in Duqu were killed unjustly.
On June 23rd, the first year of Tang Dynasty, Princess Taiping forced Li Zhongmao to abdicate, and Li Dan ascended the throne, changing Tang Ruizong to Jing Yun. Three days later, Li Longji was made a prince. Although the coup ended the situation that Wei Ruyun Group controlled the imperial court, it was replaced by the confrontation between Prince Li Longji and Princess Taiping, which Zong Rui could not handle. In the third year of Jing Yun, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gave way to Li Longji.
In July of July13, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent troops to destroy Princess Taiping. After the death of Princess Taiping, the Tang Dynasty finally ended the chaotic political situation for many years since Zhongzong. Since then, under the rule of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has gradually entered a prosperous period, which is called "Kaiyuan Prosperity" in history.
