At first, Liu Renyuan, Liu Rengui, etc. stood firm in Woongjin City. Li Zhi ordered them to say: "The army attacking Pyongyang has withdrawn. Woongjin is an isolated city. It is impossible to defend it alone. It is best to go to Silla (the capital Jincheng) with the whole army. King Silla ( Thirty civil and military kings) If Jin Famin asks you to stay and assist in the defense, you will stay; if you do not need your assistance in defense, you will sail back to the country.” All the soldiers of the expeditionary force are willing to return to the country.Liu Rengui said: "A minister sacrifices himself for the benefit of the empire. There is no other choice but to die. How can he be selfish! The leader intends to destroy Goguryeo (the capital Pyongyang), so first eradicate Baekje, keep troops to defend, and control Its heart. The remnants of bandits (referring to the rebels) seem to be everywhere and well-defended, but we only need to sharpen our weapons, feed our horses, and launch an attack by surprise. , the army’s morale is stable, and then send troops to guard the dangerous points, expand the military situation, rush to report to the emperor, and ask for reinforcements. The government knows that we are sure of success, and will definitely send troops. It will be wiped out, not only will it not abandon its previous achievements, but it will also maintain overseas stability forever. Now, the army that attacked and surrounded Pyongyang has been defeated. If Woongjin is abandoned, the remnants of Baekje will soon be revived! Goguryeo When will the fugitives be eliminated? Moreover, today, with a city wedged into the heart of the enemy, as long as they move their feet, they will be captured alive immediately; even if they can enter Silla, they will be in a foreign country without a home Tourists, if something unexpected happens, regrets cannot be undone. What's more, Fuyu Fuxin is cruel and tyrannical. There is already suspicion between the monarch and his ministers, and they are bound to fight each other. We should stick to the city, wait for changes, and seize the opportunity to counterattack. Move as you like." Everyone accepted. At that time, Baekje King (32nd) Fuyufeng and General Fuyu Fushin believed that Liu Ren would wait to guard an isolated city without foreign aid, so they sent envoys to ask Liu Renyuan and said, "When will you set off to return to the west? We will hold a grand ceremony. Farewell." Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui knew that the rebels were not on guard, so they launched a surprise attack and captured Zhiluocheng, Yincheng, Dashan, Shajing (Diwangdang are all in the southwest of the Korean peninsula) and other rebel camps, killing and capturing many people. All sent troops to garrison.Because of the danger of Zhenxian City (which fell into the hands of the rebels again at some point), Fuyu Fushin and others specially sent troops to reinforce and strengthen the defense.Taking advantage of the slackness of the defenders, Liu Rengui led the Xinluo army to the city at night, climbed the wall full of weeds, and climbed the city wall. By dawn, he had completely controlled the city wall and opened up the main road for transporting grain from Xinluo.Liu Renyuan then reported to the Central Committee and asked for more troops.Li Zhi ordered 7,000 militiamen from Zizhou (Zibo City, Shandong Province), Qingzhou (Qingzhou City, Shandong Province), Laizhou (Laizhou City, Shandong Province), and Haizhou (Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province) to go to Xiongjin.

The landlord went to the Chief Prosecutor's Office (Sixian) to file a complaint, but Yang Deyi, the deputy chief prosecutor (Doctor Sixian), ignored it.The legislator (Xitaisheren) Yuan Gongyu ordered someone to fabricate a false name and submit a "personal secret performance" report. Li Zhi said: "Mr. Xu Yu, as the prime minister, violated the lives and property of the people and concealed it. Isn't it a tyrannical blessing! Master Xu Yu argued: "I am in the center, and I serve His Majesty with integrity and fairness. It is impossible to satisfy everyone, so I have been criticized. As for domineering, only those who hold strong soldiers or occupy important military towns can do it." Qualifications! I am a civil servant, serving the emperor, and I only know how to cultivate myself behind closed doors, how dare I act like a boss!" Li Zhi said angrily, "You hate that you don't have military power, do you?" The Supreme Legislator (right minister) Xu Jingzong said: "The minister has such an attitude, killing him is not enough to atone for the crime!" Li Zhi ordered people to drive Xu Yushi out and issued an edict to dismiss him. 18. On November 18 (the original text was mistakenly placed in October, and it was changed according to the two "Books of Tang"), the prince Li Xulun (later renamed Li Lun and Li Dan) was named King of Yin. 19. On December 23, Li Zhi believed that the empire was fighting against the Kingdom of Goguryeo and the Kingdom of Baekje, and the people of Hebei (north of the Yellow River) were suffering from the supply of errands, and all the things to go to Mount Tai for sacrifices (Feng Chan) and to the Eastern Capital were stopped. . 20. Su Haizheng (嫻, yu), commander-in-chief of the Muhai Corps of the Western Expeditionary Force (Muhai Road Marching Chief), was ordered to crusade against the Kingdom of Kucha (Kucha County, Xinjiang).Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty ordered the Western Turkic Khanate (northeast of Xinjiang and eastern Central Asia) to prosper in the past and die Khan (the 12th Khan) Ashina Misho, and the successor to Jue Khan (the 13th Khan) Ashinabu really sent troops to support.Su Haizheng entered the territory of Ashinamishe, and Ashinabuzhen and Ashinamishe had always hated each other (refer to December 657), so they informed Su Haizheng, "Ashinamishe conspired to rebel, please hurry up." Execute and kill." At that time, there were only a few thousand troops directly under the Suhai government, and an emergency military meeting was held to discuss: "If Ashina Mishe rebelled, we would not have a single living person left, so we might as well start." Nai claimed that he had received the imperial edict and ordered The commander-in-chief (general manager) carried tens of thousands of pieces of silk and satin (four pieces are one piece), and rewarded the Khan and all the chiefs.Ashina Mishe led his subordinates to come to receive the reward. Su Haizheng wiped them all out and killed them all. Only the Shunishi tribe (in Xinyuan County, Xinjiang) and the Basaigan tribe (unknown today) escaped. Su Haizheng and Ah Shi Nabuzhen's allied forces pursued and wiped out. Su Haizheng's squadron went to the Shule Kingdom (Kashgar City, Xinjiang), and the Nangongyue tribe (unknown today) led the army of the Tubo Kingdom (the capital Luoxie City) to the north, intending to attack the Tang Expeditionary Army. Su Haizheng was tired and haggard because of his long-term fighting , Dare not to contact, so he gave military supplies to the Tubo army as a bribe, signed a settlement agreement, and then retreated. All the tribes believed that Ashinami died unjustly, so they rebelled against the Tang Empire.The successor Khan Ashina Buzhen passed away not long ago, and the tribal groups with ten surnames had no leaders. There were Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhegen, etc., who cleaned up the dilapidated situation, gathered the rest, and surrendered to Tubo (Tibet). 21. This year, when the Western Turkic tribes attacked Tingzhou (Jimsar County, Xinjiang), the governor Lai Ji led the army to fight, and said to his subordinates: "I should have died long ago (referring to offending Queen Wu Zhao, refer to 655 Fortunately, I have survived until now, and today I should sacrifice my life to serve the country." Without wearing armor, he rushed to the enemy camp and died (at the age of fifty-three). 1. In spring, the first month, General Zheng Rentai of Zuowuwei (Third Army of the Guards) of the Tang Dynasty (capital Chang'an) swept up the Tiele tribe group (Mongolia), and all of them were pacified. 2. On the 11th day of the first lunar month (the original text is "Yiyou", revised according to the two "Books of Tang"), Li Yifu, Minister of Civil Affairs of the State Council (Uncle Si Lie Taichang), was promoted to be the Supreme Legislative Minister (right minister), and he still presided over the selection of officials. 3. In February, the Tang government moved Yanran Duhufu (set up in Urad Middle Banner, Inner Mongolia) to the Huihe tribe (southwest of Mongolia) where the royal court was located (Kharhelin City, Mongolia), and renamed Hanhai Duhufu; And the original Hanhai Duhufu (located in Harhelin City, Mongolia) was moved to Yunzhong Ancient City (Helinger County, Inner Mongolia), and renamed Yunzhong Duhufu (Yanran Duhufu was established in 647) April; the Hanhai Protectorate was established in September 650); with the Hanhai Desert Group as the boundary, the state capital (Military Region Command) to the north of the desert belongs to the newly established Hanhai Protectorate, and the state capital to the south of the desert (Military Region Command) Command) belongs to the newly established Yunzhong Dufu (Inner Mongolia and Linger County. "South of the desert" or "north of the desert", I don't know if it includes the desert? If it is included, the jurisdiction overlaps; if it is not included, the desert becomes no People's land; if it is divided in the middle, it is not stated clearly. Traditional history books are always unclear, which makes people confused). 4. In March, Master Xu Yu (refer to October last year) was relegated as governor of Qianzhou (Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province).Yang Deyi was accused of harboring criminals, making friends with gangsters, and exiled in Tingzhou.Master Xu Yu's sons, Xu Wensi and Xu Ziran, were dismissed together. 5. The supreme legislator (right prime minister) Li Yifu, Duke of Hejian County, presided over the appointment and dismissal of officials. Relying on the power of Empress Wu Zhao, he specialized in selling official titles.Emperor Tang (the third Emperor Gaozong) Li Zhi (36 years old this year) kept hearing reports, and once reminded Li Yifu calmly: "Your son and son-in-law are very careless and have committed many crimes. I still have to come forward. Cover it up for you, you have to be careful." Li Yifu's complexion changed suddenly, the veins on his neck and cheeks were exposed, and he questioned, "Who told Your Majesty?" Li Zhi said, "As long as I'm right, why do you want me to hand over the report?" The person?" Li Yifu didn't care at all, and he didn't blame himself and apologize, but walked out slowly.Li Zhi was very unhappy because of this. Bo Yang said: Confucius said: "Only a despicable villain is the most difficult to get along with women. Get close to him, he will despise you, stay away from him, and he will resent you." For women, it is not accurate; but for despicable villains, it is insight Careful, you'd better not have this kind of friend.Li Yifu is a living example, even the emperor can't bear the consequences of knowing him. Astrologer Du Yuanji warned Li Yifu that his house smelled like a prison, and he could only suppress it if he accumulated 200,000 strings of money.When Li Yifu's mother passed away, the government specially allowed him to mourn and weep on the first and fifteenth days of the first lunar month.But Li Yifu changed into civilian clothes, went to the east of Chang'an City with Du Yuanji, climbed the ancient tomb, and waited to observe the color of the sky.So someone reported that Li Yifu was secretly studying disasters and weirdness, and was secretly preparing for a coup d'état.Li Yifu also sent his son, Li Jin, the official of the Taiwoji Affairs Management Office (You Si Yilang), to find Changsun Wuji's grandson, Changsun Yan, and extort 700 strings of money, and ordered Changsun Yan to be the Minister of Water Resources (Si Jinjian) , was denounced by Yang Xingying, the cashier of the Right Jinwu Army (the 12th Army of the Guards) (Cang Cao joined the army). In summer, on the day of Yichou in April (Jiashenshuo in April, there is no Yichou), Li Zhi ordered Li Yifu to be arrested and imprisoned. Chief (detailed punishment), joint investigation and trial; appointed Sikong (third of the three) Li Shiji (Xu Shiji) as the supreme judge; every crime has evidence. 四月五日，李治下诏开除李义府官籍，流放巂州（四川省西昌市），也开除李津官籍，流放振州（海南省三亚市西崖城镇），李义府的儿子及女婿，一律开除官籍，流放庭州；消息传出，无论官民，都欢呼庆祝。 一位失去姓名的作家，用幽默的文笔撰写一篇《河间兵团元帅（河间道行军元帅）刘祥道剿灭铜山巨匪李义府公开告捷奏章》（李义府是河间人，铜山指铜钱堆积起来的山，唐王朝时，铜已是铸钱的主要材料），张贴大街闹市。李义府一向用强迫手段夺取别人的奴仆婢女，权势瓦解后，家人崩散，这些奴仆婢女各回各家，所以《告捷奏章》中强调说：“奴仆婢女混杂一起，趁乱逃出，各人辨认故主，争先恐后，奔回家门。” 6、四月十二日，在新罗王国（首都金城）设鸡林军区总司令部（大都督府），命新罗国王（三十任文武王）金法敏当总司令官（大都督）。 7、四月二十三日，首都长安蓬莱宫含元殿落成，李治开始移居此宫，而将原住宫城称为“西内”。 四月二十五日，李治登紫宸殿主持朝会。 8、五月三十日，柳州（广西柳州市）蛮夷部落酋长吴君解聚众起兵。中央政府派冀州（河北省大名县）政务秘书长（长史）刘伯英、右武卫（卫军第四军）将军冯士翙动员岭南（南岭以南）民兵讨伐。 9、吐蕃王国（首都逻些城）和吐谷浑汗国（青海省）互相攻击，各派使节上疏唐政府，申诉理由，指责对方，并要求援助，李治都不允许。 吐谷浑汗国官员素和贵犯罪，逃奔吐蕃王国，把吐谷浑内部军事政治情形彻底泄露。吐蕃遂出军进攻吐谷浑，大破吐谷浑军；吐谷浑趉胡吕乌甘豆可汗（十九任）慕容诺曷钵，跟皇后弘化公主，率数千帐部众，放弃国土，投奔唐凉州（甘肃省武威市），请求把他的部众迁居唐内地（吐谷浑汗国自二八五年建立，历十九任可汗，于本年灭亡，立国约三百七十八年，是“五胡乱华”慕容部落中立国最久的一支）。 李治命凉州军区（总部设甘肃省武威市）总司令（都督）郑仁泰当青海兵团总司令官（青海道行军大总管），率右武卫（卫军第四军）将军独孤卿云、辛文陵等分别进驻凉州、鄯州（青海省乐都县），防备吐蕃进攻。 六月二十六日，又命左武卫（卫军第三军）大将军苏定方当西方远征军总指挥官（安集大使），统御各军，作吐谷浑汗国残部的后援。 吐蕃王国宰相禄东赞驻军青海（青海湖），派使节论仲琮前来唐帝国朝见（论，最初是官称，后来成为姓氏），控诉吐谷浑汗国罪行，并且请求再娶公主。李治不同意，派左卫军（卫军第一军）贵族征兵府副司令（郎将）刘文祥前往吐蕃，携带诏书，严厉责备。 10、秋季，八月二十七日，李治因东方海上连年征战，人民不断缴纳赋税，不断被征调服役，生活困苦，士卒大量战死淹死，于是下诏停止三十六州制造船舰，派国务院财政部长（司元太常伯）窦德玄等分别前往十道（此时全国仍分十道），问候人民痛苦，罢黜贪官污吏。窦德玄，是窦毅的曾孙（窦毅，一任帝李渊的岳父，参考五八一年二月）。 11、九月八日，熊津兵团总司令（熊津道行军总管）、右威卫（卫军第十军）将军孙仁师等，在白江（锦江）击破百济王国反抗军及倭国（日本）援军，攻陷周留城（百济临时首都·朝鲜半岛韩山城。这次应是历史上中国与日本第一次战争）。 最初，熊津军区总司令刘仁愿、摄理带方州（朝鲜沙里院城）州长刘仁轨攻克真岘城（参考去年七月），李治命孙仁师率军横渡黄海增援。百济国王扶馀丰邀请倭国出军协助，共同抗拒唐帝国远征大军。孙仁师跟刘仁愿、刘仁轨会师后，声势大振。各将领因加林城（朝鲜半岛林川城）位于水陆要道，打算先对它攻击，刘仁轨说：“加林城地势险要，城防坚固，猛烈攻击则士卒定有很多伤亡，不猛烈攻击则拖延时间太久。周留城是匪徒（指百济反抗军）的巢穴（百济临时首都），所以叛徒都集中那里。铲除凶恶，先要铲除它的根本，应该先行攻击周留城，如果能够攻克，其他各城自然瓦解。”于是孙仁师、刘仁愿与新罗国王金法敏，率陆军前进；刘仁轨跟别动部队将领杜爽、百济故太子扶馀隆（参考六六〇年八月），率海军舰队及运粮船舰，自熊津（韩国公州市）进入白江跟陆军会师后，直向周留。就在白江口，跟倭国援军发生遭遇战，唐军海陆联合，发动攻击，四次会战，传出四次捷报，焚毁倭国船舰四百艘，浓烟烈火，直冲霄汉，仿佛要把天都烤焦，海水被鲜血染成一片赤红。百济国王（三十二任）扶馀丰逃出一命，投奔高句丽王国，王子扶馀忠胜、扶馀忠志等率残余部众投降，百济最后反抗失败，只有别动部队将领迟受信据守任存城（朝鲜半岛大兴城），拒不投降。 最初，百济王国西部人黑齿常之（黑齿，复姓），身高七尺余，勇敢而有谋略，担任王国的“达率”（二品）兼郡政府民兵司令（郡将），“达率”即中国的州长。当苏定方攻陷百济王国首都泗沘（扶馀市）时（参考六六〇年八月），黑齿常之率部众追随大家一起投降。后来，苏定方囚禁百济国王及太子，放纵士卒奸淫烧杀，四处抢掠，百济青年很多丧生。黑齿常之畏惧，跟左右十余人逃回故里，集结残兵败将，据守任存山，构筑阵地，设立栅栏，十天半月之间，前往投奔的百济人有三万余。苏定方派军攻击，黑齿常之抗拒，唐帝国远征军不利；黑齿常之趁势反攻，夺回二百余城，苏定方不能取胜，班师。黑齿常之跟别动部队将领沙吒相如（沙吃，复姓）分别据守险要，响应扶馀福信。本年，百济反抗军失败，二人都率军归降。刘仁轨派二人率各人自己部队，攻击任存城，只负责供应他们粮草。孙仁师说：“他们都是人面兽心（此种毒话，历史上处处出现，对外国人尤其如此，充分暴露自己愚劣无知），怎么可以相信？”刘仁轨说：“我观察二人的性格，忠勇智谋，敬重信义，只因从前投降时，没有遇对人（指苏定方逼反），现今正是他们戴罪立功，感激图报之时，不用怀疑。”遂发给二人粮秣武器，并派出军队跟随他们之后，遂攻克任存城，守将迟受信抛弃妻子儿女，逃奔高句丽王国。 李治下诏，命刘仁轨留下镇守百济王国故地（朝鲜半岛西南部），征召孙仁师、刘仁愿班师。百济战败国亡之余，家家户户，凋零残破，死人无数，尸骨遍野。刘仁轨命军民合作，掩埋尸骸，调查户口，整理村落，派遣政府首长，修桥补路，加强堤防水坝，恢复鱼池，督促农民种桑耕田，赈济穷人，抚养孤儿老人，建立唐王朝皇家祭祀神坛（社稷），颁发唐朝使用的年号（正朔）及历代皇帝名字（准备避讳之用）；百济人民大为喜悦，境内各行业都恢复正常。然后刘仁轨又举办军事屯田，储备粮食，训练士卒准备北上攻击高句丽王国。 刘仁愿返抵京师（首都长安），李治问他说：“你在东方海上呈报不少奏章，分析事理，深刻明晰，文笔十分流畅。你本是一员武将，怎么写得这么好？”刘仁愿说：“这都出自刘仁轨手笔，我没有这个能力。”李治十分高兴，连升刘仁轨官品六阶，实授带方州州长，在首都长安给他兴建家宅，对他妻子儿女的赏赐至为优厚，派使节携带诏书前往熊津慰劳勉励。副立法长（西台侍郎）上官仪说：“刘仁轨虽然受到免职的处罚，而能尽忠报国，刘仁愿手握统帅大权而能推荐贤才，都可以说是正人君子。” 12、冬季，十月一日，李治下诏命太子李弘每隔五天到光顺门（大明宫紫宸殿的右侧门）主持朝会，听取政府各单位简报，较小的事情，都由李弘裁决（本年，李弘十三岁）。 13、十二月二十一日，李治下诏宣布第二年（六六四年）改变年号（麟德）。 14、十二月二十三日，任命安西都护（都护府设新疆库车县）高贤当兵团总司令（行军总管），攻击弓月部落（新疆霍城县），援救于阗王国（新疆和田市）。 15、本年，大食帝国（阿拉伯帝国）攻击波斯王国（伊朗高原）及拂菻帝国（东罗马帝国），分别把他们击败；又向南攻击婆罗门王国（在印度半岛），消灭很多邦国，拥有武装士兵四十余万。 1、春季，正月十六日，唐政府（首都长安）改云中都护府（设内蒙古和林格尔县）为单于大都护府，命殷王李旭轮（后改名李旦）当单于大都护（唐王朝惯例，由皇子当都护时，加“大”字，表示不同凡品）。 2、最初，李靖击破东突厥汗国（参考六三〇年正月、二月），把三百帐部众迁到云中城（内蒙古和林格尔县），由阿史德（三字姓）家族首领当他们的酋长。直到今天，人口逐渐增加，阿史德酋长到京师（首都长安）请求依照惯例，选立一个唐朝亲王当可汗，统御他们。唐帝（三任高宗）李治（本年三十七岁）召见他，对他说：“现代的可汗，就是古代的单于。”（可汗，音kehan；单于，音chan yu）所以改称单于大都护府，命殷王李旭轮遥兼大都护。 3、二月十日，李治前往万年宫（九成宫·陕西省麟游县境）。 4、夏季，四月五日（原文“壬子”，据《新唐书》改），卫州（河南省卫辉市）州长、道王（孝王）李元庆逝世（李元庆是一任帝李渊的儿子）。 5、四月二十九日，魏州（河北省冀县）州长、郇公李孝协贪赃枉法，李治命他自尽。皇族事务部长（司宗卿）陇西王李博乂求情说：念及李孝协的老爹李叔良在对突厥战争中，中流箭阵亡，李孝协是独生子，没有兄弟，恐怕后嗣断绝（李博乂是一任帝李渊的侄儿，参考六一八年六月七日）。李治说：“国家颁布的法律，不能因为亲疏关系不同，随便变更。只要伤害到人民，即令是皇太子也不可以赦免。李孝协已有一个儿子，还担心什么后嗣断绝！”李孝协终于在自己家宅自尽。 6、五月一日，遂州（四川省遂宁市）州长、许王（悼王）李孝（李治的儿子）逝世。 7、五月八日，在昆明（云南省昆明市）以东的弄栋川（云南省姚安县盆地），设姚州军区总司令部（六二一年，因此地住民多姓姚，遂改称姚州）。 8、秋季，七月一日，李治下诏预定后年（六六六年）正月，到泰山添土祭祀天神，社首山辟场祭祀地神（封禅）。 9、八月一日，李治返京师（自万年宫返首都长安），到他当晋王时的旧宅，留宿七天。 八月七日，回蓬莱宫。 10、八月十二日，擢升国务院文官部长（司列太常伯）刘祥道兼任最高立法长（兼右相）；总监察官（大司宪）窦德玄当国务院财政部长（司元太常伯）、摄理最高监督长（检校左相）。 11、冬季，十月六日，摄理熊津军区总司令（都督）刘仁轨上疏说： “我观察现在远征军驻防部队，疲惫衰老的多，勇敢健壮的少，衣服破烂，不能遮蔽身体，一心一意，只想渡海西归，毫无效命立功的意愿。我问他们：'从前在大陆，亲眼看见人民响应政府号召，踊跃从军，有的甚至自带军装粮食，称为义师（参考六四五年三月），为什么今天会堕落成这个样子？'他们异口同声说：'现在的政府跟从前的政府不同，现在的人心跟从前的人心也不同。从前，东征西讨，只要是为国牺牲，皇上都指派使节，前来哀悼致祭，或追赠官位，或追赐封爵，或把死者的官爵转授给儿子兄弟，凡是渡海东征的，勋位都擢升一级。可是，六六〇年以后，士卒屡次渡海作战，政府连一纸记录都没有，一旦死亡，无人过问。州县政府每次征召人民入伍当兵，年轻力壮家境富裕的，用钱财贿赂，都能逃避，而老弱穷苦之人，征召命令下达后，却马上编入队伍，立即开拔。 “'最近，百济、平壤（高句丽）两次苦战（参考六六〇年八月，及六六二年二月），当时指挥作战的将领，发布赏格，真是用尽心机，无所不有。可是，等到凯旋西归，大军一旦登岸，事情突变，听到的竟是一片捉拿之声，劳苦功高的民族英雄，身带锁枷，被拷打审问，强行没收他们得到的赏赐，删除他们建立功劳的记录，不堪迫害的人纷纷逃走，地方政府传唤追捕，如同天罗地网，世界虽大，没有他们立足之地，公私交困，一言难尽。因此，最近从大陆开拔时，就有人逃亡，甚至断臂砍脚，使自己残废，并不是到了海外之后才士气颓败（自残以逃兵役，在隋王朝末年普遍，但在唐二任帝李世民时已经绝迹，参考六四二年七月。如今又恢复以前情景）。本来，战场上为国立功，升级受赏，应是一种荣耀。可是连年以来，即令已有官爵的退伍军人，一旦遇到征调，拉车挑担，劳累辛苦，跟一个平民没有分别，人们不愿当兵，大概都由这些原因。' “我又问他们：'从前，士卒驻防五年，都能够支持，现在才出征一年，怎么就如此穷苦？'（唐王朝承袭西魏帝国“府兵”之制，士卒衣服武器粮食，都要自备。）大家一致回答说：'当初我们出发时，政府只教我们携带一年的装备，而今已经二年，还没有回期。'我检查士卒储存的衣服，今年冬天，勉强可以支持，明年（六六五年）秋天以后，便完全没有什么可穿。陛下把他们留在海外，打算扫荡高句丽及百济残余反抗势力，高句丽一向跟百济联盟结党，互相援助，倭国（日本）距离虽然遥远，但仍两地呼应，我们如果不留军队镇守，百济很快就会复国。现在，既已决定驻防，并且更武装开荒屯田，依靠的是全军士卒，同心合力；而士卒的心声，却是如此，怎么可能成功。除非是彻底改革，优厚的加以慰劳，该赏的一定要赏，应罚的一定要罚，用以提高士气；如果仍维持今天以前的做法，恐怕体力疲惫，士气瓦解，没有办法为国效力。听起来刺耳的话，恐怕还没有人向陛下报告。我把肝胆呈献在陛下之前，冒着被诛杀的危险，向陛下说明。” 李治完全同意，派右威卫（卫军第十军）将军刘仁愿率军横渡黄海，接替百济地区驻屯军的防务，下令刘仁轨跟他的部队一同返国。刘仁轨告诉刘仁愿说：“帝国派出部队，跨海东征，打算消灭高句丽王国，这是一件不容易的事，而今，秋季庄稼还没有收割完毕，官兵却全部撤走，将领也跟着回去，蛮夷刚被征服，人心不安，必定发生变化。不如仍留下原来的驻屯军，慢慢的教他们收割，一面准备资金粮秣，分成若干梯次撤退，军官及将领更要留下来镇抚军心，不可以回去。”刘仁愿说：“我上次返国，诬告陷害的谗言，像倾盆大雨一样，主要的是攻击我留下太多部队，阴谋盘踞海东（朝鲜半岛），几乎难逃大祸。今天我只知道执行命令，怎么敢自作主张！”刘仁轨说：“当一个重要干部，只要对国有利，既然知道正确方向，就应全力以赴，怎么能有私心！”上疏陈述利害，自己请求留下驻屯海东，李治批准。 于是任命扶馀隆当熊津军区民兵司令（都尉），命他集结百济残存的部众。 12、最初，皇后武曌初进宫时，处处采取低姿态，自己尽量卑屈，忍受各种羞耻侮辱，竭力博取李治欢心（这一段话道出武曌辛酸历程！她对谁卑屈？又忍受谁给她的羞耻侮辱？又是什么样的羞耻侮辱？恐怕确实难堪，但武曌都一一忍受，只是为了更大的企图），所以李治排除大家的反对，封她当皇后。可是，武曌达到目的之后，露出本性，专权横行，作威作福，李治打算有所动作，武曌立刻干预，李治禁不住一肚子气愤。道士郭行真出入禁宫，曾经替武曌施行祈福避祸的法术，宦官王伏胜向李治告发。李治大怒，秘密召见副立法长（西台侍郎）、一级实质宰相（同东西台三品）上官仪，讨论如何反应，上官仪建议说：“皇后纵情任性，全国人民都不能心服，请求罢黜。”李治也认为应该如此，遂命上官仪撰写诏书。 左右侍从中武曌埋伏的密探飞奔向武曌报告，武曌反应迅速，立刻出现在李治面前，倾诉自己的委屈。诏书草稿这时仍在李治手边，李治像一个人赃俱获的负心汉一样，羞愧畏缩，不忍心继续坚持，就跟武曌和好如初，而且仍怕武曌怨恨不解，推卸责任说：“我本来没有这种想法，都是上官仪给我出的主意。”上官仪从前曾当过陈王李忠（前太子）的首席参谋官（咨议），李忠后来当太子时，跟王伏胜同时当过太子的属官。于是，武曌命太子少师（太子三少之一）许敬宗诬告上官仪、王伏胜，跟李忠阴谋杀害君王。 十二月十三日，逮捕上官仪囚入监狱，和他的儿子上官庭芝以及王伏胜，一起斩首，家产没收。 十二月十五日，李治下诏命李忠在贬所（黔州·重庆市彭水县）自杀（李忠由房州再贬事，参考六六〇年七月）。最高立法长（右相）刘祥道因跟上官仪有深厚交谊，被剥夺宰相权力（最高立法长为当然宰相），降为国务院教育部长（司礼太常伯）。国务院左秘书长（左肃机）郑钦泰等官员都因与上官仪有交往的缘故，很多被贬降流放。 从此之后，李治每次主持朝会，武曌就坐在珠帘的后面，政事无论大小都向她禀告。中央政府大权遂完全滑入武曌之手，官员的免职、降级、处死、赦免都由她一言决定，李治袖手坐在一旁而已，中外称他们为“两位圣人”。 13、太子宫事务署长、摄理副立法长（检校西台侍郎）乐彦玮，副立法长（西台侍郎）孙处约，同时被加授一级实质宰相（同东西台三品）。
