Volume 2 Luoyang Xing Chapter 123 Dignity and Survival
A lot of things are between not talking about grievances and talking about hypocrisy.
Zhang Changzong went to the Luoyang County Ya to go through the formalities for releasing good and was blocked, which belongs to this kind of thing.
originally planned to change Lu Xiaoxian's identity through Leng Liang, so that Lu Xiaoxian would return to their brothers. I didn't expect that such a thing was not done, and Yao Chong was angry in vain, not to mention how depressed Zhang Changzong was.
Depressed is depressed, but you have to ask Lu Xiaoxian to come up with an idea, after all, Wu Zetian is still waiting for news in the palace!
After listening to what happened to the Zhang brothers, Lu Xiaoxian lowered his head and began to calculate.
Whether you can get rid of the cheap excuse or not, Lu Xiaoxian doesn't care. At the moment, he was thinking more about another problem, and he suddenly realized that he had made a big defeat.
For a long time, Lu Xiaoxian has been tired of digging pits.
On the one hand, it's for fun. On the other hand, he studied with the immoral ghost in Wangyun Mountain for eight years, and he was much stronger than ordinary people when it came to digging pits.
However, now he has to face Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian is not an ordinary old woman, but the emperor of the Great Zhou.
In later generations, Lu Xiaoxian was familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty and had a clear understanding of Wu Zetian's ascending process.
Wu Zetian was able to be the emperor by no accident, the difficulty can be imagined, the hurdles she encountered were like playing a game to pass the level, until she became the final winner.
She is shrewd, spicy, cold, vicious, unscrupulous, and most importantly, she occupies a position of absolute superiority, and all opponents are inevitably defeated.
Facts have proved that in terms of playing conspiracy and trickery, there are too many people who have died at the hands of Wu Zetian. Her journey to the pinnacle of power is full of intrigue and blood, revealing the darkness and vileness in the upper power circles, which can not be said to be the same as the simple digging techniques that Lu Xiaoxian learned from books.
Lu Xiaoxian is an opponent with her, what will be the result?
No, you must not be her opponent, otherwise there is only a dead end.
Lu Xiaoxian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, changed his original intention in the shortest possible time, and did not hesitate to give up any ideas and practices of arguing with the female emperor, the only thing he could do was to cater to her and obtain the greatest benefits for himself.
If you want to know where to go in the future, you will know what to do next.
Lu Xiaoxian raised his head, a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Two masters! This matter is easy to solve, all you have to do is tell Your Majesty so! ”
Lu Xiaoxian spoke eloquently, and the Zhang brothers pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Listening to this, the Zhang brothers' faces became ugly.
Zhang Yizhi's face sank like water, and he was silent.
Zhang Changzong couldn't sit still, he scolded and said: "The surname is Lu, your idea is too bad, don't we brothers lose face?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian looked at Zhang Changzong, shook his head, and didn't explain.
Zhang Changzong is such a person, in his eyes, it seems that face is everything, and never admitting defeat is his dignity.
Lu Xiaoxian's idea was specially tailored for the Zhang brothers.
Now, the Zhang brothers are still in a weak position, and only by getting the mercy of the strong Wu Zetian can they be qualified to continue to survive.
What face is not face, in the face of survival, face is not important at all. How can pie fall from the sky without paying the price?
A person can have no resources and no wisdom, but he must have a vision, be able to identify who is higher in wisdom than himself, who has more resources than himself, and then look for various opportunities and possibilities to maximize his own interests.
Compared with Zhang Changzong, Zhang Yizhi is much calmer.
He didn't care if he had dignity or not, he only cared about whether Lu Xiaoxian's idea was really useful.
"Useful is definitely useful, but how useful it can be, I don't know at all in my heart!"
Lu Xiaoxian was telling the truth, after all, he had never dealt with Wu Zetian, and in the end, he could only resign himself to fate.
"But there is one thing, you must know it in your hearts!" Lu Xiaoxian said solemnly, "Your Majesty is not an ordinary person, don't pretend to be smart in front of her, if you annoy her, it is estimated that you will not even be able to save your life!" ”
The Zhang brothers nodded.
Lu Xiaoxian told again: "I'll give you an idea about this matter, if Your Majesty asks, just tell her truthfully, don't hide it, otherwise you and I will not be able to get out of it!" Two masters, you must remember! ”
……
"Your Majesty!" Wei Tuan'er stood respectfully in front of Wu Zetian.
"Are Gorou and Rokuro already on their way?" Wu Zetian asked casually.
"It's already gone! About a quarter of an hour will be in the palace! Wei Tuan'er responded.
"Yesterday they left, I asked you to send someone to keep an eye on it, what is the situation?" Wu Zetian asked with a calm face.
Wei Tuan'er said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since they returned to the mansion, no outsiders have come to the Zhang Mansion. Gorou never went out of the house, but Rokuro went to Luoyang County! ”
"What did Liulang do when he went to Luoyang County?" Wu Zetian asked strangely.
"It seems that it is for a slave named Lu Xiaoxian in the house to go through the formalities of release!" Wei Tuan'er is very efficient and makes things clear.
"Go through the formalities for the slave and maid? Or did Rokuro go in person? Wu Zetian's eyes were full of playfulness, and he said to himself, "Interesting!" ”
Wu Zetian looked at Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, what do you think about this?" ”
For such a matter of speculating on people's hearts, Wu Zetian would mostly ask Shangguan Wan'er's opinion.
Shangguan Wan'er pondered and said: "Your Majesty, it is up to Wulang Liulang to come up with a way to perfunctory Di Ge Lao, obviously not good. The reason why they are in a hurry to return to the house is that someone will come up with an idea, since no outsiders have entered the house, it must be someone in the house! ”
Speaking of which, Shangguan Wan'er asked Wei Tuan'er, "Sister Tuan'er, after Wulang and Liulang return home, where is that Lu Xiaoxian?" ”
Although Shangguan Wan'er was very polite, Wei Tuan'er knew her identity, and she replied respectfully: "He doesn't seem to be in the mansion, and when it was almost dark, the Zhang Mansion sent someone to hurriedly recall him back to the mansion." ”
"That's right!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "Your Majesty, don't ask, what Wulang and Liulang want to ask for is this Lu Xiaoxian!" ”
"That's what I thought too!" Wu Zetian's old face suddenly showed a mischievous smile, "I'll hear what the two of them have later, this makes me really look forward to it!" ”
……
Shangguan Wan'er led the Zhang brothers into the dormitory.
It stands to reason that this is not the first time they have been here, but at the moment they feel apprehensive and feel that everything in front of them is so unfamiliar.
Wu Zetian smiled at the two: "You guys are here!" ”
The two were about to give a salute, but Wu Zetian waved his hand: "Wulang Liulang, don't be polite, please sit down!" ”
After the Zhang brothers sat down, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.
Wu Zetian didn't speak, just looked at them. Several people remained silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
