Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and west wind thin horses, Li Jie, he ran away!

Knowing the news that the 300,000 Fujian and Tang troops took a ship from the Longjiang Shipyard in Fuzhou to go to sea, went to Zhongnan, and returned to Tianzhu, the spirit of countless children of the family and high-ranking officials in the entire Guanzhong was collapsed.

Eternal rivers and mountains, poetic and picturesque! How many heroes and heroes did not hesitate to throw their heads and sprinkle blood, just to guide the impassioned of the country, how many people have fought all their lives and missed it, but this is good, and the emperor throne who has made countless people blush is thrown away like this! What did he do with Guanzhong?

Just when the entire Tang Dynasty gate lords were shocked by Li Jie's actions, Empress Wang and the little emperor Li Zhong suddenly appeared in the camp of Xiliu and demanded allegiance from the army as the emperor.

The former Anxi Duhu, who had always been at odds with the Min and Tang Dynasties, swore allegiance on the spot by the mighty general Cheng Wuting, but Gao Kan, the general of the Zuo Wei and the soldiers and horses of the inspection school, refused to agree, and even ordered the soldiers to confine the gate of the village, and personally held bows and arrows to guard the camp, swearing to be loyal to the Min and Tang dynasties to death.

However, at this time, the strong political skills of the female politician Queen Mother, who was famous in later generations and comparable to the Empress Dowager of Qin Guoxuan, were revealed, and she did not hesitate to risk her life and entered Gao Kan's camp alone, no one knew what Wang Qiang and Gao Kan had a secret conversation in the tent, because Gao Kan personally killed the two partial generals and four guards present, and personally went out of the camp a few minutes later to ask the little emperor Li Zhong for guilt.

On July 18, the little emperor Li Zhong re-entered the Daming Palace with the support of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the courtiers of various minds and more than 20 vassal kings in Chang'an also had to swear allegiance under the military might, only the first assistant Wei Yuanzhong locked himself at home, and he also stubbornly resisted and waited for death.

It was still Wang Qiang who came out, but he still didn't know what he had talked about secretly, and the next day Li Zhong's court meeting, Wei Yuanzhong did not attend.

On August 18, Li Zhong ordered the coffin of Gaozong Li Zhi to be moved back from the Western Regions, and requisitioned the tomb of the king as the emperor's mausoleum at the foot of the Jiuzhi Mountain in Zhaoling to officially bury Li Zhi, burying the previous emperor, and his throne was completely stable, and China also began the era of Li Zhong's reign of Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that in history, it was built by Wu Zetian, and the first two emperors were buried, and the imposing Qianling Tomb was incomparably magnificent, but this time and space was completely annihilated.

After succeeding to the throne, the government is almost still Wang Qiang's general regent, as soon as he came to power, the queen abolished a lot of Li Jie's reforms to buy people's hearts, and Wu King Li Ke personally went to Chang'an to worship and the Guanzhong army went out of the customs with lightning speed, and the rebellion of Cao Wangming and Li Yuankui, the king of Lu, was quelled in seven days, which greatly consolidated the position of Li Zhong and Wang Qiang.

The adjustment of rights continued until the beginning of the following year, and the elites from all over the Tang Dynasty, who were tired of running for their lives, reacted little by little, and it seemed that everything was premeditated! The sudden outbreak of the new policy of the Western Tang Emperor Li Jie, the sudden southern tour, and almost all the officials from the capital were taken away, as well as the strange juxtaposition of the two emperors in Zhaoling, it seems that everything shows that Li Jie has been paving the way for Wang Qiang's mother and son early.

But the biggest suspicion is that Li Jie's head was caught in the door or did he drink too much? His father Li Shimin overthrew the crown prince, and after King Yuanji of Qi, he even killed the baby in his infancy to prevent future troubles, which was good, and finally defeated his lifelong political enemy, and finally put his son on the throne of the emperor!

Is Li Jie a third gun?

Ten years ago, Li Jie lived in the Queen Wang's Lizheng Hall for more than a month, and then there was the crown prince Li Zhong, this time, it was almost Queen Wang who single-handedly sent Guanzhong to Li Jie's hands, which is too greasy!

Of course, those who have figured it out dare not say it, let alone seek verification, this matter has still become one of the three major mysteries in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

On the other hand, Li Jie, who returned to Beijing, did not live the corrupt life of the faint monarch who ruled the arch in his imagination, almost as soon as he arrived in Beijing, there was a warning in the western frontier of the empire, Vikings, some barbarian tribes in the Volga River valley tens of thousands of people surrounded Constantinople, and Li Rang's main force of more than 50,000 loyal and brave eight guards almost wiped out the Scandinavian Peninsula, leaving only 30,000 guards and some local soldiers who were not very close to defend Constantinople, but also to take care of the long land from Asia Minor to Damascus, taking care of one thing and the other.

The Arab tribes and the Egyptians took advantage of the opportunity to rebel, and the attitude of the new emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Carloman the Pious, the new ally of the empire in the west, became ambiguous, and most of the country had been so hard to conquer that it was smoking.

Li Jie, who originally thought that the battle of Datang was the most brilliant and the last battle of his life, had to put on his armor again.

When he arrived in Damascus in half a year, Li Jie already had another 150,000 troops, and made an alliance between Damascus and Mecca, the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Yemen and the Imam, the king, and the Sultan of Oman, and pacified the Arabian Peninsula.

Landing on the Golden Horn, the Min and Tang armies routed the Viking barbarian coalition that had besieged Constantinople for a year that month. However, this time, the angry Western Tang Emperor slapped Li Rang, the co-ruling emperor who stayed in Constantinople, in front of almost the entire army, as well as the archbishop, the great imam, and the prime minister and elders.

In the second month after bribing the Vikings with gold and silver to go on the expedition with him, Li Jie ordered that during his absence, Li Rang would lead the loyal and brave Eight Guards, and he must nip in the bud the Vikings, a ferocious nation that had plagued Europe for centuries.

Directly demoted Li Rang from a co-emperor to a general to atone for his sins, Li Jie himself sat in Constantinople and set off a protracted war with the whole of Europe for 30 years.

The brutal war has experienced the Nordic crusade, the Holy Roman Empire betrayed the alliance, colluded with the Pope to march into Italy, marched into the Balkans, and the Tang army lost its city and lost its territory, and in the tenth year of the war, it was once again beaten back to Constantinople by the Christian coalition in the offensive and defensive battles, and the dizzy Li Jie welcomed back from the Tang Dynasty Charlematt and Pepin and his son, who had been imprisoned in Chang'an for ten years, and announced the pious Carloman and his own covenant, and buried the secrets of the entire Frankish army in the Western Regions, and for a time Carloman was swept away by his majesty, With the support of Mintang, Charlie Matt raised troops in Berlin, and the whole of Europe fell into civil strife again.

After Charlie Matt died in battle, the successor Piping married Li Lizhen, the seventh princess of Fujian and Tang Dynasties, as the only queen, and preached the Confucianism he had accepted in Chang'an, and finally temporarily ended the war.

The bloodline of the Eastern royal family and the Confucian culture bloomed for the first time in this far west.

In fifteen years, countless eastern nationalities formed the Tang Expeditionary Force and were dispatched to the western battlefield, and a new round of ethnic integration was in full swing, but in the end he did not conquer Northern Europe, and Li Jie, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, once again handed over the western part of the empire to Li Rang to command, and led his wife and concubines to return to the warm Beijing division.

Finally had time to stop and appreciate the empire he had built with his life's work, Li Jie walked slowly, admiring the beautiful scenery of the two river basins and the new cultural landscape he created along the way, but it seemed that he was born to be tired.

Taking a few ladies to see the newly dug irrigation canal in the Tigris, Li Jie fell ill at once after an unexpected rain, and waited for the convoy to hurry back to Ctesiphon, but it was too late.

No one could have imagined that the emperor, who had conquered most of the world, would come to an end in such a way.

In June of the tenth year of derivation, when the crown prince Li Jin, who hurried from Tianzhu, arrived at Tai Xifeng, he just missed the last meeting with Li Jie, seeing his father lying quietly in the crystal coffin as if he was not falling the sun, and his mother who had already cried and swollen her eyes, Li Jin sat on the ground in disbelief.

Almost all the officials and wealthy clans of the Beijing division rushed over, as well as the lords of the tribal vassal states around the empire, the monarchs, the messengers sent by Chang'an, and the pro-army of Hu Cong, enough for hundreds of thousands of people to send the last journey to the great Emperor Taizu of the Min and Tang Dynasties.

Continuing the tradition of the Tang Dynasty because of the mountain as a mausoleum, Li Jie's Taizu Qianling was built on the Prophet's Hill near Jerusalem, which took millions of laborers from the Arabian Peninsula to build for ten years, but when he was buried, he followed Li Jie's last words, and only buried some of Li Jie's daily necessities and weapons.

And an incomparably strange monument to the saints was erected at the foot of the Prophet's Mountain.

The widow has loved, hated, fought, failed, been loyally embraced, and betrayed in cold blood and ruthlessly! The world, life is varied, and there are no regrets in death!

Such a strange inscription with white characters, if it were not left by Taizu of the Western Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that no minister would dare to carve it in front of the tomb of Zhaoling.

Personally helped the coffin into the mausoleum, Li Jin also took the most cherished object Li Jie once cherished, a jade seal that no one knew the origin of the coffin in front of the coffin, and then carefully exited the mausoleum, and then hundreds of tons of yellow gunpowder detonated together in the mountains near the mausoleum, as if the sky collapsed and the earth cracked in the roar, more than a dozen collapsed mountains completely changed the shape of the surface of the mausoleum, even the craftsmen who built this imperial mausoleum can no longer find half a trace.

Patting the dust on his body and walking out of the Shinto, before Li Jin could dissipate the sorrow on his face, dozens of knights came from the west in a hurry, tumbling and jumping off the war horse, bowing in front of Li Jin.

"Your Majesty! The king of the river refuses to come to Jerusalem for mourning! And he has already become emperor in Constantinople! ”

His face turned blue in an instant, Li Jin's fist clenched, and a letter without a cover was completely flattened in an instant, that was when the relics were sorted out, and the notes found in Li Jie's study were only four words, but they have been shocking Li Jin's heart until now!

Death and Death!
