"It's far from over," Sima Chengzhen continued, "Wu Zetian was in power for decades, with countless gangs, and the Tianshu formation has not been broken. Tang Zhongzong Li Xian was a cowardly person again, and Li Tang soon ushered in a counterattack from the Wu Zhou forces."

Gao Mang suddenly said, "Princess Anle?"

Sima Chengzhen nodded: "Yes, it is Princess Anle Li Guer. She is Wu Zetian's granddaughter. She also wants to follow her grandmother's old path and even suggests to Emperor Zhongzong of Tang to pass the throne to her."

Emperor Zhongzong of Tang rejected Princess Anle's unreasonable and absurd request, but did not punish Princess Anle.

In the fourth year of Jinglong, in 710 AD, Princess Anle simply joined hands with her mother, Empress Wei, and poisoned Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Li Xian to death.

Fortunately, Li Longji, the King of Linzi at that time, was not a mediocre person. Li Longji joined forces with Princess Taiping to launch a coup, kill Princess Anle, and eliminate the remnants of Wuzhou. All the men of Queen Wei's clan who were taller than the horse whip were executed, which is known in history as the Tanglong coup.

Li Longji's father, Emperor Ruizong of Tang, Li Dan, came to power. However, what Li Longji did not expect was that his aunt, Wu Zetian's youngest daughter, Princess Taiping, after taking over the remnants of Wu Zhou, began to interfere in the government affairs and covet the highest imperial power.

"A Princess Anle died and another Princess Taiping came out. They were equally ambitious and used the same force to prevent the imperial court from dismantling the Tianshu array and trying to steal the artifacts of the Tang Dynasty."

Sima Chengzhen sighed, "In the first year of the Innate Realm, after Li Longji ascended the throne, he wanted to endure for a while before taking action, but an accident caused Li Longji to change his mind."

Accident?

In the first year of the Innate, Li Longji's eldest son, Li Cong, was attacked while hunting in the Forbidden Garden, and was seriously injured and destroyed. Li Cong lost the qualification of a crown prince.

"Li Cong was the prince of the Tang Dynasty that Li Longji had been cultivating. He was actually poisoned by this. Long still had a scale, let alone the emperor of the Tang Dynasty," said Sima Chengzhen. "The year after Li Cong's accident, Li Longji launched a coup again, killing Princess Taiping's followers and killing Princess Taiping."

Gao Mang couldn't help but sigh, Shenlong coup, Tanglong coup, and innate coup, Li Longji laughed to the end, he was really not an ordinary tough guy.

No wonder, old charlatans and fairy-like characters are so afraid of Li Longji.

"At that time, the Khitans invaded our border town, the Turks plundered Yinshan, the northeastern Dae Jo-rong, the Xi people Li Dae-hyun, the tiger-wolf-like manners of the Liao people in the south were waiting for an opportunity to go south, the Liao people in the south rebelled, the Tubo invaded the Helong land, the Dashi national troops broke out in the Paoling Mountains invaded our Western Regions, and the remaining forces of Wuzhou in China were causing trouble. The Tang Dynasty was in full swing. In order to boost the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, the Tianshu formation had reached a point where it had to be demolished."

Sima Chengzhen continued, "At this time, a general in Jiazhou, Jiannan Road accidentally discovered a stronghold of the Wuzhou forces. There was a small Tianshu magic array hidden in the stronghold."

"When Li Longji learned about it, he was shocked and immediately ordered the removal of the evil formation. At the suggestion of Master Huineng, a large Buddha was dug out at the position of dismantling the evil formation to suppress the evil spirit."

Gao Mang took a deep breath when he heard this. Jiazhou is now Leshan, and it turns out that this is how Leshan Buddha came from.

It seems that in addition to the Tianshu Array in the eastern capital Luoyang, Wu Zetian also built evil arrays in other places in order to suppress Li Tang's luck, and there are quite a few.

In the second year of the Innate, that is, on July 13, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty Li Longji finally ordered the demolition of the Tianshu Array in the eastern capital Luoyang.

July 13, 713, wasn’t this day a coincidence?

Sure enough, Sima Chengzhen said: "In fact, since the Shenlong coup, the Li Tang Dynasty has always been committed to demolishing the Tianshu Formation. It took me three years to calculate the best time to demolish the Formation and formulate a feasible plan to demolish the Formation."

"On July 13th, Emperor Li Longji gathered nearly a thousand powerful people from the three Tang Confucians, Buddhists and Taoist families, recruited 100,000 imperial guards, and began to demolish the Tianshu array."

"At that moment, the sky and the earth were lost, the earth was shaken, the broken palace of Tianjin Bridge collapsed, the Luo River stirred up huge waves of hundreds of feet, and the river was hanging like a Milky Way. When the Tianshu Tower, the main body of the formation, collapsed, a five-colored light energy rushed straight into the sky, and then scattered like a canopy, covering the entire Luoyang City."

Sima Chengzhen's eyes were shiny, and he felt excited, "We succeeded, and the Tang Dynasty luck that had been suppressed by the Tianshu Formation for decades broke out!"

Gao Mang was also infected by Sima Chengzhen, his eyes were shiny, and his fists were clenched with excitement.

Tianshu collapsed, and the Tang Dynasty, which had many disasters and difficulties, finally survived. The spring of trees was in front of the sick tree, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty came as scheduled.

But soon, Sima Chengzhen showed a sad look: "Although we succeeded, we paid a heavy price. The elites of the three Confucian, Buddhism and Taoism suffered heavy casualties when they broke the formation, and most of them were lost. I was also seriously injured. In order to protect my robes, Master Huineng did not hesitate to use his true body to block the evil light, and eventually his body destroyed the Tao!"

Gao Mang listened quietly, and a terrifying chill appeared in his heart again.

Master Huineng, is it the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism?

According to historical records, the Sixth Patriarch passed away in 713.

After a moment of silence, Sima Chengzhen said slowly: "The released Tang Dynasty fortune quickly spread across the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The powerful spiritual energy not only led to changes in the world, but also to changes in all living things."

Gao Mang sat foolishly, and the strange beasts he had hunted and mutated plants he had seen flashed in his mind, and the six supernatural beings who fought side by side with him a day ago.

Gao Mang also thought that his power was extremely powerful.

Gao Mang took a deep breath, and he finally understood everything.

Resurrection of spiritual energy.

It was the revival of spiritual energy that created this and the same and different Tang Dynasty!

Sima Chengzhen continued: "After Tianshu was destroyed, the Li Tang court thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but he did not know that the subsequent appearance of strange beasts and alienated people caused uneasiness and panic among the court and the country."

"As a last resort, Li Longji sent imperial guards and elite warriors to start hunting and killing alien beasts and even alienated people across the country. He didn't even let go of the cruelty of children," Sima Chengzhen said with a deep pain. "I heard about this after I recovered from my injuries. I felt that the killing was contrary to heaven, so I went to Chang'an to strongly advise the emperor, asking the court to stop this cruel hunt."

Gao Mang couldn't help but remain silent and put himself in his shoes. If he were the emperor Li Longji, he would probably be very panicked. After all, he had seen the terrifying strength of strange beasts and alienated people, so he ran out of the chessboard.

Catching alienated people is probably the simplest and most rude way to solve the problem.

Sima Chengzhen continued: "Fortunately, Li Longji was moved by me, and other evil formations arranged by Wu Zetian also needed to be destroyed, so Li Longji agreed to me that I would personally manage and restrain those alienated people."

"At the emperor's instructions, I secretly placed the alienated people in a pear garden near Qujiangchi, Chang'an, and summoned a large number of singers and musicians to cover up their eyes," Sima Chengzhen looked at Gao Mang with clear eyes, "These alienated people carry the heavenly fortune of the Tang Dynasty. I call them the heavenly awakeners, and the Liyuan is the predecessor of my Tianyun Department of the Tang Dynasty!"
