In the fourth year of Yonghui, a major event happened this year. What is the big event? It is Fang Yiai’s rebellion case!

In the fourth year of Yonghui of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty (653 AD), Fang Yiai participated in planning a rebellion incident in an attempt to subvert the rule of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty. Later, with the early intervention of the Grand Marshal Changsun Wuji, the conspiracy was still in the womb. Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang, and a large group of nobles were all destroyed by this case. However, what is puzzling is that Fang Yiai was cuckolded by his wife and dared not say anything. Where did he have the courage to rebel?

Fang Yiai was the second son of Fang Xuanling, a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. In his early years, he was awarded the title of General of the Right Guard General. Later, Emperor Taizong of Tang believed that Fang Xuanling had made contributions to the country, and Fang Yiai also became a handsome man, so he gave his beloved daughter Princess Gaoyang to Fang Yiai. However, this good thing that many people regard as a pie falling from the sky was extremely bad for Fang Yiai. It turned out that Princess Gaoyang was spoiled and willful and difficult to serve. Although Fang Yiai was the son of the prime minister and the prince-in-law, he was nothing in the eyes of Princess Gaoyang who was arrogant.

When Fang Xuanling was alive, Princess Gaoyang was somewhat afraid of her prime minister and father-in-law and was still a little sensible in her work. However, after Fang Xuanling passed away, Princess Gaoyang was at the Fang family without any scruples. While she instigated Fang Yiai to compete with his elder brother Fang Yizhi for the family property, she also had sex with a monk named Bian Ji outside.

Later, Princess Gaoyang's cheating was exposed, and Emperor Taizong of Tang was furious and executed Bian Ji. However, Princess Gaoyang did not restrain herself. Instead, after Emperor Taizong of Tang passed away, she became more and more serious. She openly hangs out with Monk Zhixu, who is good at "occupying misfortunes and good fortune", Monk Huihong, who is "can see ghosts", and Taoist Li Huang, who is proficient in medical skills. Fang Yiai's cuckold was worn by Lao Gao, but there was no way, so she had to swallow her anger and be a turtle.

You say that such a big turtle is not as simple as this. The so-called treason is a plan by Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji feels that he is still in danger now. Li Tai, who was politically frustrated, also died of depression in the third year of Yonghui (652 AD).

But he believed that although Li Tai had passed away, his gang members were still there. If these Li Tai's gang members defected to another prince, such as Li You, then he would be in great trouble, so only by completely eradicating the roots can all hidden dangers be eliminated.

Changsun Wuji must eliminate political opponents and capture all the power in his own hands.

The opportunity came. In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), Princess Gaoyang, who was accustomed to making trouble, ran to the palace to complain, saying that she was molested by Fang Yizhi at home. Everyone knew Princess Gaoyang's lifestyle very well, who would believe that she was molested by others.

But this flawed case attracted the attention of Changsun Wuji, and he actually started to investigate the matter as the prime minister. Could it be that Changsun Wuji was so idle that he had nothing to do? No.

In fact, he took the opportunity of investigating the inappropriate incident to carry out targeted removal of the remaining parties of King Li Tai of Wei.

When Li Tai was in the limelight in the early years, Fang Yiai was his hard-core friend. Later, Li Tai lost power, so Fang Yiai naturally had no chance to make a name for himself. He was unsuccessful in politics and was cuckolded by his wife in life. Fang Yiai felt so painful in his heart.

Therefore, in some private places, Fang Yiai would inevitably complain to other former King of Wei and say a few taboo words. However, Changsun Wuji made a big fuss with this justification and forced a shocking case where the remaining party of King of Wei tried to subvert the rule of Emperor Gaozong.

Fang Yiai was not tough at first, so he was quickly scolded under severe torture. He not only admitted that he was trying to rebel, but also confessed to the "affiliated party" Li Yuanjing (the sixth son of Emperor Gaozu of Tang), Xue Wanche (the famous general in the early Tang Dynasty), Chai Lingwu (the son of Princess Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang) and others according to Changsun Wuji's wishes. In addition, Changsun Wuji also brought some people who he usually didn't like to be on this "blacklist".

The final result of the "Fang Yiai's rebellion case" was: Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu beheaded; King Jing Li Yuanjing, King Wu Li Ke, Princess Gaoyang, and Princess Baling committed suicide; Prime Minister Yuwen Jie, King Jiangxia Li Daozong, and famous general Zhishishiru exiled Lingnan.

Even Fang Yizhi, who had nothing to do with this case, was demoted to the Tongling County Magistrate, and Fang Xuanling's qualification to be granted the Taimiao was cancelled as a result.

But at this moment, things turned around. Everything was following Changsun Wuji's script, but at this moment, a kind of person who had been arrested was suddenly rescued by an inexplicable force. King Jing Li Yuanjing, King Wu Li Ke, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Baling, Princess Jiangxia Li Daozong...all disappeared.

Changsun Wuji heard that these royal families suddenly disappeared, and he was furious. At this time, Changsun Wuji had an intelligence unit named Heiwei.

"What did you say... All the royal family disappeared overnight, where is Li Ke..." Changsun Wuji was in anger in his study. You should know that these people were all those who had sacked the power of Changsun Wuji and placed these people on his list of death row prisoners. How could they disappear overnight?

"I can't wait... But the person is indeed not seeing him. Now we are stepping up our search and expect that there will be a result soon. After all, the Black Guard controls the various gates of Chang'an, and there is no trace of anyone leaving Chang'an."

"Investigate...must be checked..." Changsun Wuji sat on his chair angrily. At this time, Changsun Wuji frowned very tightly because during this period, Li Zhi's opinion of him became heavier and stronger. Changsun Wuji originally wanted to use this behavior to kill the chicken for the monkey. The false charges of more than ten imperial officials, including King Wu Li Ke, King Shu Li Yan, and Li Daozong, were forcibly implicated in the case. But who knew that he had messed up now.

Who is against him? It was Li Zhi. Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly because he knew that Li Zhi didn't dare. Who would it be? Changsun Wuji didn't know who had such great ability for a while.

But just as Changsun Wuji was thinking about who was against him, in the Tai Chi Hall of Chang'an Palace, Li Zhi held a letter in his hand and looked at Wu Zetian beside him with a laugh and said, "Mei Niang, I took action, I finally took action, my good days are finally coming..."

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Zhi's excited look and hugged Li Hong in her arms, a little surprised: "Your Majesty, why are you so happy? Who is finally taking action...!"

Wu Meiniang was very surprised at this time. He didn't know what happened to Li Zhi at this time. He was so happy now that Wu Meiniang had never seen him.

After Wu Meiniang finished asking, Li Zhi replied in surprise: "It's the fifth brother, the fifth brother has taken action. Yang Qu just now brought me news that the fifth brother has rescued all the royal personnel to Zongzheng Temple. The Hu Ben Guard guards the Zongzheng Temple. Moreover, the fifth brother wants to return to Chang'an as the Minister of Zongzheng Temple.

Not only that, Yizi, Heng'er, Xiang'er, they will all come back, haha...haha...! The fifth brother is finally going back to Chang'an, I am no longer alone, Changsun, I am not afraid of you now."
