Chapter 59 Chapter Fifty-ninth: The Dragon of Zhang and Cambodia Launches a Coup

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cui Xuanwei played again.Song Jing followed closely and said: "Zhang Changzong was frightened by Fei Shu, so he had to admit it. Besides, treason is a serious crime in the world, and he didn't say that he can be exempted if he admits treason. If Zhang Changzong doesn't deal with it according to law, the national security Where?!" Wu Zetian chuckled, explaining something embarrassingly. Song Jing was furious immediately, and said in a stern voice: "I know that Zhang Changzong is your majesty's love, and I also know that saying this has caused trouble to the upper body, but I have loyalty in my heart, and I have no hatred even though I died!" Wu Zetian was unhappy, and she sat sideways sickly. He refused to speak on the bed.Yang Zaisi was afraid that Song Jing would disobey him, so he rushed him out.Song Jing looked at Yang Zaisi, and reprimanded sharply: "The emperor is here, and the prime minister gave the order without trouble."

Wu Zetian sighed, and said to Yang Zaisi: "Go, let Zhang Changzong come over, and let Song Jing interrogate him!" Wu Zetian was in poor health, so he went down to rest first.Zhang Changzong came late, Song Jing stood aside and asked sharply.During the conversation, someone suddenly brought an imperial decree and sang loudly: "Changzong refined the elixir and made the dragon healthy. He has made great contributions and amnesty!" Song Jing couldn't believe his ears, and said through gritted teeth: "I really regret that I didn't crack the kid's brain first! (If you don't crack the kid's brain first, you will bear this hatred!)"

The words were passed on to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian was afraid that Song Jing would really lose his temper and destroy Zhang Changzong, so he asked Zhang Changzong to go to Song Jing's house to apologize. Zhang Changzong slammed the door once gorgeously. The first couplet: It is still forgivable for heaven to do evil. The second couplet: self-inflicted evil, can not live. Horizontal comment: Male pets mislead the country! In the first month of the first year of Shenlong (705 A.D.), Wu Zetian became very ill. This spring, for Er Zhang, is indeed an eventful spring.They counted on the queen to completely control the government in their own hands before the queen died of illness.They underestimated this group of experienced ministers too much. The first to appear was the eighty-one-year-old Zhang Jianzhi, who found Li Duozuo, the general of Youyu Linwei.

Under the Xuanwu Gate, the white-haired Zhang Jianzhi paid homage to Li Duozuo, looked at him seriously and said, "General, how many years have you been at the North Gate?" "Thirty years." "The general is well-clothed and well-fed, favored by the present age, and a military official. Whose grace is it, remember?" "Grace of the Great Emperor!" "Since the general is grateful for the emperor's affection, have you thought about repaying it? Even a little bit!" "Duozuo's life was given by the emperor, even if he goes through fire and water, he is obliged to do so!"

"Okay! General Li, the emperor's son is in the East Palace, but the government is controlled by Zhang Yi's brother. I am afraid that the situation will be at stake. The crown prince is very important to the society. Today is the day for the general to repay his favor!" "If you are the first emperor, Duo Zuo will be driven by the prime minister, and the world will learn from each other, even if he dies, he will have no hatred!" After saying that, Li Duozuo, a general of the Mohe tribe, stood under the Xuanwu gate like an iron stone statue, swearing to the sky.Zhang Jianzhi was prepared long ago, and there is no way to compare the two.After becoming the prime minister, the first important thing he did was to promote the generals, and all the generals who had the ambition to recover Li Tang were promoted to guards in the forbidden center.

Here, General You Yulin Yang Yuanyan is one. Zhang Yizhi noticed something. They replaced Li Duozuo with Wu Youyi, and they felt relieved.However, in front of Zhang Jianzhi, the two children with the same surname can only play house games. If they really want to do something big, they can only be played. Soon after, Yao Yuanzhi came to Shendu from Lingwu. Yao Yuanzhi, that is, Yao Yuanchong, was sent away by Wu Zetian a few months ago, because Comrade Mochuu kept saying that he wanted to arrest Yao Yuanchong, because this guy rebelled against him, so Wu Zetian asked him to hide for a while, and changed his name to Yao Yuanzhi. He took office in Lingwu.

Yao Chong returned to Luoyang soon. It's time to go! At the critical moment, Li Xian showed the excellent psychological quality of the cockfighting moment. When Yan Yanfan visited him, he told him the plan, and he immediately agreed. On the second day, Zhang Jianzhi, Cui Xuanwei, Yan Yanfan and Zuo Weiwei General Xue Sixing and others led more than 500 Yulin troops to Xuanwu Gate.Li Duozuo, Li Zhan, and Li Tongjiao rode horses to the East Palace to invite Li Xian, while the others stood by.Only in this way can it be justified and reasonable. However, our Li Xian fell down in fright.He hid in the house and refused to come out, and asked if he could wait a few days.Li Tongjiao (King of Anyang) was about to be driven mad by Li Xian. He looked at Li Xian, pointed outside and said, "The late emperor paid His Highness with a divine weapon, and he was ruined. Humans and gods were angry together. It's been twenty-three years! Today To lure his heart, the North Gate and the South Ya, work together to punish the villains today and restore Li's community. I hope that Your Highness will temporarily come to Xuanwu Gate to live up to everyone's expectations."

Li Xian looked at Li Tongjiao, "Those traitors really deserve to die, but the emperor is not in good health now, aren't you afraid to scare her old man? Please go back, everyone, let's think about it in the long run!" He said angrily: "The generals disregarded the life and death of the family and came here to restore the country. How could your highness say such a thing! Your highness is in a situation of injustice. I ask your highness to come out and solve it yourself!" Li Xianwang watched Everyone, from their eyes, he felt a little angry. Prince, please show your cockfighting courage!

After tidying up his clothes, Li Xian walked out of the hall in a daze like a frightened bereaved dog. Li Tongjiao saw that Li Xian's hands and feet were erratic, so he didn't talk nonsense, he directly carried him onto the horse, and led a group of people straight to Xuanwu Gate. The gate of Xuanwu Gate was locked tightly, and everyone split the latch with Mo Dao, and the north gate opened.More than 500 Xuanjia were divided into several parts and started to act. The first part, led by the old prime minister Zhang Jianzhi, went straight to the house of the two brothers.For Yu Linwei, the two brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were completely powerless. They were grabbed by the general like chickens, brought to the veranda, and their heads fell to the ground in full view.

The beauty of Er Zhang is just a skin. The residence of the two brothers was very close to the Hall of Eternal Life where Wu Zetian slept. After Habayashi Wei killed Er Zhang, they drove away together and surrounded them.Sleeping Wu Zetian was awakened by a commotion. She opened her eyes and saw soldiers walking back and forth with knives outside the door. She was shocked and said, "Who caused the riot!" Appearing in front of her, Zhang Jianzhi replied: "Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong conspired against each other. I was ordered by the crown prince to kill you. I was afraid that the matter would leak, so I didn't dare to tell your majesty. If you bring the soldiers to the Forbidden Palace, you deserve death!" "

Wu Zetian sneered and stopped talking. After a while, Li Xian came over. Wu Zetian looked at Li Xian covetously, "What did you do? These two boys are dead, and you should go back to your East Palace!" The surroundings were quiet, and Li Xian was too frightened to make a sound. Yan Yanfan took a step forward, "How can the prince return to the East Palace again! In the past, the emperor entrusted His Majesty with his beloved son. Today, the prince has grown up and lived in the East Palace for a long time. People in the world miss the Li family, and the officials can't forget Taizong and the emperor. The purpose of killing the rebellious officials under the order of the crown prince is to allow His Majesty to pass on the crown prince, so as to fulfill the wish of heaven and man!" Wu Zetian glanced majestically at the ministers standing in front of him, and her eyes fell on Li Zhan.She pointed at Li Zhan, snorted, and asked, "You also participated in the killing of Zhang Yizhi? I treated your father well. Without me, how would you be today?" Li Zhan was most afraid that Wu Zetian would mention his father, Li Yifu, but Now, he was already mentally prepared to be asked this question.Wu Zetian stared at Cui Xuanwei again, calmly staring at Cui Xuanwei for a few seconds, staring at him uncomfortably, Wu Zetian suddenly asked: "Everyone else was promoted by others, only you were promoted by me, and you also participated?" Cui Xuanwei has a good mental quality. He paid homage to Wu Zetian, "Your Majesty is a great virtue, and that's all I can do for Your Majesty." Li Zhan stayed behind, while the others went straight out. They found Zhang Changqi, Zhang Tongxiu, and Zhang Changyi, and all of them were beheaded. Together with Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, the heads of the five were hung in the south of Tianjin Bridge.In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Shuji, the Prime Minister's Mansion, led the Nanya soldiers to arrest Wei Chengqing, Fang Rong, Cui Shenqing and other two remaining members of the party. All the spectators on the street clapped their hands, especially that Zhang Changyi, who made the common people suffer.It's not that Zhang Changyi doesn't know that he is about to die, but he still oppresses the people and has fun every day.On that day, the mansion he built was completed, and it was even larger than the prince's mansion.Someone who was bullied by him wrote this line on the door of his house with a pen at night: "How many days can a day of silk be made?" In the morning, when Zhang Changyi went to work, seeing these words made people erase them. The next day, these words were written on it again. For seven consecutive days, Zhang Changyi was in a hurry.It makes people wait with pen and ink, and under this sentence, it is commented: "One day is enough." This is a very arrogant four-character sentence, let us take a look. How many days can a day's silk be made? The literal meaning is: How many catties of sweater can one catty of wool make? Just read it several times: How many days of fun can one day die? Translated into modern language is: "You are dying, how many days can you enjoy yourself?" As a talent who does not regret even looking for death, Zhang Changyi replied: "It is a day to enjoy every day." In the market, Er Zhang's power is deeply hated by people. Wu Zetian, stop here, you are already a legend! A few days later, she passed the throne to Li Xian. On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month in the first year of Shenlong (705 A.D.), Li Xian was restored and amnesty the world (except for Zhang Yizhi's party members). In the past, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and others were unjustly imprisoned.The Xiangwang plus the Xianguo King of Anguo, worships the Taiwei, the third grade of Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai, and the Princess Taiping plus the Zhenguo Princess Taiping.The descendants of the royal family surnamed Li who were allotted in the past will be restored to their status, and the official rank will be determined after the assessment.Under Li Zhan's care, Wu Zetian was transferred from the sleeping hall to Shangyang Palace. A few days later, Li Xian led all the officials to come here and honor her as an old man. This honorary title is the "Zetian Dasheng Emperor" who has been passed down through the ages. In December of the first year of Shenlong (AD 705), Wu Zetian died of illness in Shangyang Palace in Luoyang. Wu Zetian is a legend. She was born in the early Tang Dynasty when men and women were most equal in ancient China, and died in the prosperous Tang Dynasty when men and women were more equal.She told us with practical actions that a person's dream is the most important thing to persevere, and he needs to keep moving forward in pain and satisfaction to finally turn his dream into reality. Wu Zetian reigned for 16 years and was in power for 47 years. During this period, she promoted the imperial examination, created the military examination, established the system of examination for officials, reused female officials and virtuous ministers, and promoted countless talents for the next prosperous age. The style makes people recommend themselves.She killed countless people, was ruthless, and used all means to achieve her goals. However, the objective evaluation is: Wu Zetian, reused virtuous ministers, used villains, built literature and history, was shrewd and capable, ruled by himself, was discerning and decisive. She has a stele without words, and her merits and demerits can be judged by others. Fourteen hundred years ago, to be precise, it was September of the third year of Wude (AD 620). Li Yuan was still worrying about the conquest of martial arts heroes everywhere in the world, and Li Shimin was still preparing for the battle with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. However, the news of relegation made a Fan Yang man named Lu Xingyu very distressed. Go, go to Xinzhou to be Sima. Lu Xingyu married a daughter-in-law in Xinzhou and gave birth to a little boy. This happened on the eighth day of February in the twelfth year of Zhenguan (AD 638).His wife is from Lingnan, and she speaks with the Liaozi accent often spoken by people from the Central Plains.Lu Xingyu is very busy with his wife and children.The child brought great joy to the family.Generally speaking, he has great expectations for this doll whose eyes are shining with strange brilliance, and he has to entrust this kind of child with the important task of shining the lintel of his Lu family. It's a pity that Lu Xingyu will never and never be able to see this day. No one thought that this child would eventually become a Buddha, a master of a generation, and a saint who would shake the world! Three years after the child was born, Lu Xingyu died of illness. The poor daughter-in-law of the Lu family took her three-year-old child by herself and had nowhere to go. After crying a few times, she packed her luggage and moved to Xinxing, Guangdong with her child.Under poverty, the children can only chop firewood for a living.The street market is very lively, he likes to squat on the side of the road selling firewood, watching people come and go, all living beings, that is a very wonderful thing. When he was twenty-four years old, he met a guest official who was reading the "Diamond Sutra". Seeing his serious face, the guest official introduced that he came from Dongchan Temple in Huangmei County, Bingzhou, and was a disciple of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren. over a thousand! He really wanted to go, but the guest officer actually gave him money to go to Dongchan Temple to listen to lectures. The Fifth Patriarch met this young man in Dongchan Temple, Huangmei Dongshan, Hubei.It is difficult for the Fifth Patriarch to see through at a glance. This young man has already determined his dream-to become a Buddha.For everyone, how can a person with a Lingnan accent and poor looks become a monk or a Buddha. It's a joke, a big joke! When the Fifth Patriarch saw him, he immediately asked, "Where did the layman come from, and what do you want?" The young man said: "My disciple, a native of Lingnan, only seeks to become a Buddha (to become a Buddha)." The Fifth Patriarch understood, and suddenly asked: "You are from Lingnan, and you are a Liao, how can you become a Buddha?" The young man replied calmly: "Although people have north and south, the Buddha nature does not distinguish between north and south. Since there is no difference between the body of a Liao and the body of a monk, how can there be any difference in Buddha nature?" The Fifth Patriarch nodded appreciatively, and saw people around pointing at this tusk.The Fifth Patriarch scolded him angrily and punished him for chopping firewood. His name is Huineng, and he chops firewood in Huangmei, and he is really good at chopping firewood, and he has been chopping for eight months. During this period, the end of the fifth patriarch is approaching. Before passing away, it is necessary to find someone who can inherit the mantle. The disciples knew that this person must be the most knowledgeable person at the moment, Shenxiu.Everyone was perplexed, since Shenxiu is already the candidate, we don't need to write any articles to compete, so as not to embarrass ourselves, we can just wait for senior brother Shenxiu to write a verse.Brother Shenxiu was very nervous. He thought about it for four days straight, and thirteen times he wanted to submit his gatha, but every time he walked to the door of the Fifth Patriarch, he retreated. In the end, he decided to write the verse on the wall in the middle of the night, and comment on it when the Fifth Patriarch passed by. If the writing is good, then stand up; if the writing is poor, then it is too deep fascination, heavy karma, and no mantle.Shenxiu felt restless and dragged on until the fifth watch.At dawn, the Fifth Patriarch passed by the south corridor, and suddenly saw four lines of poems, pointed to them, and praised them a lot.The verse says: The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Wipe it frequently so as not to cause dust. The Fifth Patriarch looked at it and said, "This gatha is really well written. It is said in the scriptures that 'all appearances are false'. Let these words be left on the wall for everyone to accept and uphold every day. According to the gatha, Do what you say. This gatha can save everyone from falling into the evil ways, and practicing according to it will be of great benefit!" The Fifth Patriarch knew that it was written by Shenxiu, so he invited him in and told him that although it was good, he hadn't seen his true nature and had no wonderful truth.The Fifth Patriarch asked him, "What is Unsurpassed Bodhi?" "..." Go ahead and write again.
