"Although it was a "family matter," Li Ji still stood aside from Empress Wu. Li Ji did not misjudge her. Empress Wu had great ambitions."

"Why did Li Zhi trust Li Ji so much? This must be said was a battle that brought Li Ji to the pinnacle during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, which was the destruction of Goguryeo."

"The failure of Emperor Yang's three expeditions against Goguryeo in the Sui Dynasty shook the country's foundation. In his later years, Li Shimin's three expeditions against Goguryeo failed to fully succeed, which wasted the country's power. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, Goguryeo became an obstacle that the Central Plains dynasty could not overcome."

"In the first year of Emperor Qianfeng's reign, Goguryeo King Yeon Gaesumun died of illness, and Quan Nanxing succeeded to the throne. His brothers Quan Nanjian and Quan Nanchan launched a coup and expelled Quan Nanxing. Quan Nanxing asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the Tang court would uphold justice. "

"Li Zhi appointed Li Ji, who was 63 years old, as the commander-in-chief of the march to Liaodong Road to command the army to attack Goguryeo. General Xue Rengui of Zuowuwei followed his orders."

"In this battle, the Tang army changed its previous decline. Under the command of Li Ji, it destroyed sixteen cities on the border. Xue Rengui fought bravely and captured the important town of Fuyu City, forcing Fuyu River and more than [-] cities to surrender."

"Beside the Yalu River, Li Ji commanded the Tang army to defeat the [-] Goguryeo army. They pursued it across the Yalu River for more than [-] miles and fought to the gates of Pyongyang. They surrounded Pyongyang. A month later, Quan Nanjian surrendered and Quan Nanjian was captured. On the slope of Pyongyang city , Goguryeo is destroyed! Li Ji’s career reaches its peak!”

"The person who was happiest about this victory was Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. He accomplished what his father failed to do, so he ordered Li Ji to sacrifice prisoners first in Zhaoling to "show off" to Taizong, and then to the Ancestral Temple to sacrifice prisoners to honor his ancestors. The ancestors "showed off", then held a great court meeting, were captured in Hanyuan Hall, "showed off" to the world, and finally went to the southern suburbs to worship heaven, declared that Goguryeo was pacified, and "showed off" to heaven!"

Li Shimin: It doesn’t have to be like this!

Kangxi: This is what you should show off. This is better than those who are incompetent and still feel that they have done a great job for a long time and go to Zen!

Qin Shihuang: Yes, it should be shown off. There is no harm in showing off such a great thing. The ancestors are also happy to see it. Isn't Tang Taizong happy?But what does this Feng Chan mean?
Yongzheng: There are some things that we can’t say, but destroying Goguryeo is the right thing to show off. The Qing Dynasty wants someone with such ability, so I will show off even more.

Cao Cao: What a great achievement!It's me, I have to tell the world and show it off for three days and three nights.

Liu Xie: This Xue Rengui must also be powerful. Why didn’t you have him in the martial arts temples you built in the Tang Dynasty?

Li Longji: Alas!What a pity, General Xue!

Zhao Kuangyin: If it hadn't been for that battle, Xue Rengui would have been ranked in the martial arts temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang: One battle ruined his life!

Yue Fei: He couldn't help himself. He was just a martial arts temple. His achievements cannot be eliminated. It is enough for us to recognize him.

"It's really a pity for General Xue, and the Feng Chan thing is really funny, but when we talk about it later, we'll mainly talk about Li Ji."

"It was precisely because Li Ji played a great role in helping Empress Wu ascend to the throne that the latter was extremely grateful to him. In the following more than ten years, he persuaded Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty to continuously promote Li Ji to the throne."

"With Empress Wu's care, Li Ji was not only able to serve as prime minister for many years, but was eventually awarded the title of Crown Prince and Grand Master. He had an extremely high official title and reputation. In December of the second year of the General Chapter, Li Ji passed away at the age of 76. After his death, he was awarded the title of Taiwei, Grand Governor of Yangzhou, and was buried with Zhaoling. It was truly a great honor." "However, Li Ji would not have thought that he would use Wu Zetian to overthrow the Tang Dynasty. Although he finally achieved his goal, he would not be able to survive until his death. More than ten years later, I suffered extreme humiliation."

"It turns out that when Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty was deposed, Li Jingye, the grandson of Li Ji, launched a rebellion in Yangzhou with the call of supporting Zhongzong. However, he was defeated and killed not long after."

"After Li Jingye was killed, Wu Zetian, in order to punish Li Jingye's family, ordered Li Ji to be deprived of his official title, dig his tomb, cut his coffin, and restore his original surname of Xu. Who would have thought that Li Ji would suffer such humiliation 15 years after his death? It is really shocking. People sigh.”

Cao Cao: Isn’t this called whipping the corpse? Haha, I planned my whole life and was harmed by my unfilial grandson!

Li Ji: ||, is this my grandson?My grandson?I********!

Li Si: Haha!It’s so funny that I’m not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. What a great grandson!

Guantao: As touching as it is in the front, it will be funny in the back. Why are you trying so hard to get the upper hand?Is it to be humiliated after death?

Zhao Kuangyin: Everyone wants to rebel.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Wu Zetian deposed Li Xian and actually took control of the power in the court. Anyone who understands can see that Wu Zetian is on the throne at this time and is preparing to proclaim himself emperor. Li Ji, your grandson will not follow you. You also know that this is not material for war. , I don’t have generals or literary talent, I can’t even see such a simple thing, and I still go to rebel.

Zhu Yuanzhang: She, Wu Zetian, could not become emperor without Li Ji's help. Wu Zetian is also grateful and helped your Li family get promoted and make a fortune. When someone becomes emperor, the Li family will benefit greatly. She must be a high-ranking noble. What kind of idiot is she? Do you want to rebel now?
Yin Lihua: This punishment is too harsh!

Princess Guantao: Is this a speech from a queen?What kind of idiot queen is this? Don't you know "Killing the Nine Tribes"?Still don’t understand the mutual growth between Li Ji and Wu Zetian just now?
Lu Pheasant: Is this worthy of being a queen?Li Ji, who helped Wu Zetian ascend to power, was ordered by Wu Zetian to "carry out the coffin" after his death. The fundamental reason was not himself, but his grandson Xu Jingye's rebellion against Wu Zetian, which was caused by the cruel punishment system of "implicating the nine tribes". I'm so embarrassed, what are you talking about?
Shangguan Wan'er: Your Majesty was a grateful woman before you ascended the throne. Li Ji stood by your Majesty, and your Majesty also allowed Li Ji to have a corresponding status. Maybe he hated the house and the enemy. Who would have thought that two people could help each other? , will cause this result because of a descendant.

"In short, the change of things was that Xu Jingye rebelled, which neither of them expected. Later, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian restored the Tang Dynasty, rehabilitated Li Ji, and reburied him."

"The rewards for the two generals are now distributed. Everyone is right. The rewards for the generals are similar. Each has one hundred thousand cavalry, fifty thousand kilograms of military rations, one solid pill, three small pills, and a weapon of your choice."

Li Jing chose a bright moon halberd as a weapon, and Li Ji actually chose a short sword-a horizontal bayonet. The two of them also let everyone take a look.

The Bright Moon Halberd has a strength bonus of 12% and is immobilized for one second. The horizontal bayonet is extraordinary. Although it is a short knife, it can be split into two, the strength is doubled, and there is a certain chance of triggering anesthesia.

Wei Zifu: This Tang Dynasty is really unrivaled.

Meng Yi: These two are both from the Tang Dynasty and from the same dynasty. This foreign race should not dare to take action.

Li Jing: They didn't dare to take action, so we took the initiative. With 20 cavalry and the weapons of the two of us, we will be invincible!
