Chapter 498 Lu Xianfeng
"His name is Lu Xianfeng."
Wu Zetian spoke in a deep tone.
"Lu Xianfeng?"
When Zhang Lin heard this name at first, he felt a sense of awe and familiarity in his heart.
A sense of awe is understandable. Because this person's name contains the word "Immortal" and is so solemnly imprisoned and taken so seriously by Wu Zetian, he naturally feels awe.
But the sense of familiarity is very strange. Zhang Lin remembers that he had never heard of this name before. Today is the first time Wu Zetian talks about it. How could he feel familiarity? It is incredible and difficult to understand.
Wu Zetian sat down on a futon laid behind a low table and signaled Zhang Lin to sit down too.
Zhang Lin picked up a futon, sat down opposite her through the low table.
He strangely discovered that although the bedding in the iron cage was extremely simple and composed of a broken quilt and firewood, the futon used for the seat was quite exquisite and even expensive. It was embroidered with complex patterns, and the texture of the fabric was extremely high-quality silk. Although it was polished smoothly by sitting and lying down, there was no sign of damage.
An iron cage that imprisons a super-class prisoner has two such exquisite futons, and this situation is strange and weird.
All of this was so natural when Wu Zetian walked. It can be seen that she has come here and sit in this cushion many times.
"Do you know Li Chunfeng?" Wu Zetian asked cordially and friendly as if he was having sex.
"I know a little bit." Zhang Lin said truthfully. He knew Li Chunfeng a little more than Lu Xianfeng, but he only knew that he was the author of "Tuibei Tu", and he knew nothing else.
"Li Chunfeng is a master of astrology. He once asserted that there will be a heroine in the future and reminded the late emperor to pay more attention and prevent problems." Wu Zetian said this and his tone was obviously a little unhappy, as if everything Li Chunfeng did was specifically aimed at her.
"This kind of person who is arrogant because of his talent sometimes seems very pedantic." Zhang Lin said interrogatively, giving Wu Zetian a step forward.
Wu Zetian nodded and smiled, and continued, "Lu Xianfeng is a disciple of Li Chunfeng. He has the ability to constellate, Feng Shui, geomancer and prophecy. His skills are even worse than those of Nashi."
When talking about Lu Xianfeng, Wu Zetian's face clearly showed a cheerful and lively expression, which was completely different from when talking about Li Chunfeng.
"Oh." Zhang Lin made a standard response.
"Lu Xianfeng is committed to elaborating on the Tuibei picture written by his master, and once asserted that the heroine in the Tuibei picture was surnamed Wu." Wu Zetian said happily. Zhang Lin finally understood the reason why she hated Li Chunfeng and admired Lu Xianfeng because the master and apprentice had different views on the heroine.
"It seems that the disciple's prophecy is more accurate!" Zhang Lin said casually. In fact, he had another idea in his mind. When Li Chunfeng wrote the Tuibei Picture, the emperor was still young and was apart from power. At that time, he could predict that the heroine was in the country. The ability to be foresight was really amazing. When Lu Xianfeng spoke, he probably had great power and was not far from becoming an emperor. This kind of prophecy was more appropriate than a prophecy.
"I give him a great reward. Lu Xianfeng further told me that the heroine has the sun and the moon facing the sky. If the capital is built on Luoyang and backed by Mangshan, the heroine's foundation can continue and continue. I am very happy and have appointed the position of the national teacher and attach great importance to him."
After listening to Wu Zetian's words, Zhang Lin believed in his judgment even more. Lu Xianfeng was a complete speculator. He relied on the so-called prophetic ability to actually persuade the emperor to gain high officials, wealth and glory from the queen. What kind of contribution can be compared with persuasion? This is a shortcut to the prosperity of Zhongnan!
He was thinking again, why did Lu Xianfeng become an important prisoner after making such a great contribution? He was involved in this iron cage that was invisible to the light of heaven?
This thought was revealed in his eyes and was captured by Wu Zetian's sharp gaze. She smiled and nodded, and then continued to tell with emotion: "Lu Xianfeng's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and he is admired and trusted by many princes and ministers. From time to time, he goes in and out of the palaces of princes and ministers, and joins the princes and princes, and interacts with generals.
I was not prepared for this at that time and let it go.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Lu Xianfeng was lobbed by Xu Jingye and became the think tank behind the rebels. He blatantly opposed me and competed with the court. It was really hateful."
Hearing this, Zhang Lin figured out the reason why Lu Xianfeng changed from a national teacher to a prisoner.
"This Lu Xianfeng is really ungrateful!" He criticized nonsense, and he could only express it in front of Wu Zetian. In fact, when reading the history of the Tang Dynasty or related historical novels, he admired Xu Jingye's people.
"Yes, he failed my trust in him." Wu Zetian raised his white hand and slapped on the low table, and said in a resentful and excited tone, "After Xu Jingye's defeat, Lu Xianfeng was captured alive by my army. I tried my best to surrender him, but he was unmoved. He also said that his previous assertions were wrong and he was talking casually. The heroine was in power, and she was unprecedented. If she insisted on her own, she would ruin her reputation and destroy the clan and Yi family. I was angry by him and confiscated his whole family."
When Zhang Lin heard the family beheading, he inexplicably shivered and had goose bumps all over his body.
Wu Zetian looked at Zhang Lin with an intriguing gaze and continued to tell, her voice was filled with excitement and indignation: "In name, Lu Xianfeng was also executed, but in secret, I saved his life and imprisoned him secretly. I want him to see with my own eyes that what he had predicted before was correct, and my foundation will last forever, and the emperor will be passed down from generation to generation, and the emperor will be eternal."
Zhang Lin thought to himself that the empress’s foundation was passed down from generation to generation, and that was impossible, but it could last for fifteen years. It is estimated that Lu Xianfeng would not see the day when Wu Zhou returned to Tang.
"After I ascended the throne, I changed my name to Wu Zhao according to what Lu Xianfeng predicted, and moved the imperial capital from Chang'an to Luoyang, and changed it to the capital of God, to make my imperial career live with heaven." Wu Zetian's expression was filled with an indescribable pride, as if she had occupied other people's things openly and insisted on her, but others could not do anything to her, so she could only watch from the side, which made her so happy.
It turns out that where did the emperor’s new name come from Lu Xianfeng? Zhang Lin learned another secret.
"Later, Lu Xianfeng digs another divination, saying that the heroine ascended the throne, was disordered, and the generals of heaven gave punishment, and a hundred disasters arose, and the people betrayed their relatives and separated, and they were killed in three years." Wu Zetian's expression suddenly became Xiaoran, as if this assertion had caused her some heavy blow.
"This is definitely nonsense!" Zhang Lin shouted contemptuously. The Wu Zhou Dynasty could last for fifteen years and beheaded for three years, which was obviously a false intimidation.
Wu Zetian expressed his gratitude to Zhang Lin's support with his eyes, reached out to support both sides of the low table, stood up tremblingly, paced slowly in the iron cage, and continued in a cold voice: "In the past three years, I have been careful, eating and eating at night, and working hard on the king's affairs, just to make Lu Xianfeng's assertion fail. This year is the third year, and although some minor disasters have occurred, it will not overthrow the country. Sometimes I think that Lu Xianfeng must be exaggerating, to destroy my good mood and influence my decision-making, so as to achieve his ulterior motives."
"The emperor guessed correctly. Lu Xianfeng's purpose must be to anger you and disturb your square inch." Zhang Lin said angrily.
"I have asked him to change his words. If he changes his words, I will return him to freedom and promise him a high-ranking official, but he swears to never obey. He arrogantly said that his life is not with him, nor with me, but with control in heaven. When the gods are destroyed, it is the day of his freedom." Wu Zetian said excitedly and indignantly.
"I respect and hate him. Whenever I want to kill him, a voice tells me that if he wants to let him see that his assertion is wrong, my imperial destiny will prosper forever." Wu Zetian continued, his voice trembling with excitement.
