Chapter 467: Shanglin Yuan Promotes Flowers

Lu Xiaoxian was about to persuade Li Chongjun, but saw that the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. He turned his head to look and couldn't help but let out a "huh"!

"Brother Yang, why are you here?" Lu Xiaoxian stood up and looked curiously at Yang Si, who hurriedly rushed into the house.

"You'll make it easy for me to find it!" Yang Si leaned over to Lu Xiaoxian and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Wu Yanxiu, who was in pain, and his face showed embarrassment.

Yang Si was a eunuch in the palace, and he was in such a hurry to find Lu Xiaoxian, Li Chongjun guessed that there must be something important.

He waved his hand at Lu Xiaoxian and said, "You go and get busy with you, I have it here!" ”

……

Wu Zetian's eyes lit up: "You mean that roasting flowers with fire and boiling water can drive flowers to bloom in winter, is that what you mean?" ”

"Yes! When the grass people were in Yingzhou, they heard a flower slave say! Lu Xiaoxian nodded and replied regretfully, "It's a pity that he was killed during the Khitan Rebellion later, and I don't know the truth!" ”

The flower-inducing technique is very popular in later generations, and there is this method in the books in Xiaoyi's brain, of course Lu Xiaoxian can't explain it directly, so he can only find a reason to say it, so that Wu Zetian can't verify it.

With Wu Zetian's shrewdness, if a little flaw is revealed, it will inevitably arouse her suspicion.

Lu Xiaoxian judged that Wu Zetian's situation at the moment could no longer be inquired into, and his opinion would definitely be adopted

"How sure are you?" Wu Zetian asked solemnly.

"The grass people don't dare to say it, they have to try it to find out." Lu Xiaoxian shook his head.

After being silent for a long time, Wu Zetian suddenly said: "I'll leave this matter to you, hurry up and try it, you can't miss it at all!" ”

Her voice was so cold that Lu Xiaoxian shuddered.

……

Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly returned to the house, called Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaoyi to explain, and then locked himself in the house and started to work.

Twelve hours passed.

Zhang Meng entered the house, glanced at the flowers all over the ground, and then looked at Lu Xiaoxian, who was frowning, and whispered, "Xiaoxian! There are two people outside the mansion who want to see you, and they say that they are from Fan Yanglu's family! ”

"Tell them, just say I'm busy, I don't have time!" Lu Xiaoxian didn't have a good airway.

Twelve more hours passed.

Zhang Meng entered the house again and was surprised to find that the flowers seemed to have bloomed, and the house was full of flowers. Looking at Lu Xiaoxian again, his brows have been completely stretched.

"Xiaoxian, those two people are here again, saying that they must see you!"

Lu Xiaoxian said lightly: "Tell them, let them wait patiently for three days, and I will meet them in three days." ”

He deepened his waist and said to Zhang Meng: "I'm dying of hunger, let Yin Feng Langyue hurry up and get me something to eat, I'm going to enter the palace soon!" ”

……

"Really?" Wu Zetian's face was happy.

"Yes! Your Majesty! It's done! Lu Xiaoxian described in detail the process of his experiment.

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Wu Zetian asked cautiously: "Then according to you, how long does it take to urge the flowers of the entire Shanglin Garden?" ”

"It took two days for the grass people to urge the flowers they tried in the house, and the place in Shanglin Yuan is much larger, and there are many more flowers, and the grass people estimate that three days should be enough! But......" Lu Xiaoxian hesitated, "this requires more manpower and things!" ”

"It's not a problem, what does it take for Wan'er to solve it! Okay, you go get ready! Wu Zetian commanded in a cold voice, "Except for Wan'er, don't talk to outsiders."

Lu Xiaoxian agreed, turned around and walked out of the hall.

In the middle of winter, there was a cold wind outside, but Lu Xiaoxian reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead. If it weren't for the immersiveness, who would have thought that the old female emperor would still have such a strong aura.

Wan'er rarely saw Wu Zetian's mysterious and anxious expression, and a few times, she wanted to ask and stopped.

"Wan'er!" Wu Zetian finally spoke, "Tomorrow, I will let Tunyugu and the ministers go to Shangyuan to see the flowers." ”

……

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty asked the Turkic delegation to talk about it, and although Tunyugu didn't know what Wu Zetian was going to do, he still followed Guo Zhen to Shanglin Yuan.

Although Wu Zetian is a woman, Tunyugu has never underestimated this woman. can take the Tang Dynasty as his own, and can make the subjects of the Tang Dynasty obedient and become the subjects of the Great Zhou, there will be no second person in the world who can do this.

When Tunyugu arrived, the civil and military officials had already gathered in Shanglin Yuan.

Tun Desire Valley saluted Wu Zetian, the expression on Wu Zetian's face was mysterious, and he waved his hand lightly.

"Lord Tutun! Mosi Khan helped Da Zhou quell the Khitan Rebellion, Da Zhou is also credit-worthy, and the reduction of households and materials have been fulfilled according to the previous promise, isn't that so? Although Wu Zetian's voice was not loud, it was very majestic.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Lust Valley nodded.

Wu Zetian then said: "This time, the Turkic Khan sent a noble delegation to make peace, and I am very pleased. In order to express my gratitude, I specially invited hundreds of officials to accompany Lord Tutun to enjoy the flowers in the forest garden. ”

Tun Desire Valley looked around, it was bare everywhere, what flowers were there to appreciate, but Wu Zetian said it, and he couldn't refute anything.

Tun Desire's expression fell into Wu Zetian's eyes, and she smiled slightly: "Lord Tutun, don't you think that there are no flowers to enjoy in winter?" ”

Lust Valley didn't speak, which was tantamount to acquiescence.

Wu Zetian said meaningfully: "The Great Zhou Emperor is the emperor of the whole world, and any race and any living creature in the world must obey the adjustment of the Great Zhou Emperor. Now the flowers are withering because they have not received the holy decree of the Great Zhou Emperor, and if I send a decree, the flower gods will also obey the order. ”

Any race and any creature in the world must obey the dispatch of the Great Zhou Emperor, and his tone is not small.

Wu Zetian has something to say, and the meaning of the words is also heard by the Valley of Desire, whether it is the Khitan or the Turkic, whether it is birds and beasts or flowers and plants, you must listen to her Wu Zetian.

Tempting Gu disdained Wu Zetian's disdain, and he said unceremoniously: "I'm afraid it may not be." ”

"Not necessarily, I'm afraid?" Wu Zetian was aggressive, "Let's make a bet, as long as I make a decree, a hundred flowers will definitely bloom within three days." ”

Lust Valley was very cautious and asked cautiously, "How to bet?" ”

Wu Zetian thought for a while, and then said: "If I lose, you can choose whatever you want to go to the Turks to welcome the prince and the prince, and you can let whoever you want." ”

The ministers were stunned when they heard this, are they joking with the fortunes of the country?

"Your Majesty, by all means!" Di Renjie was anxious.

"Your Majesty, by all means!" Princess Taiping was also anxious.

Without waiting for them to continue, Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say it anymore!" ”

She looked at Tunyu Valley again: "If I win, the crown prince and the prince will not go to the Turks to greet their relatives, and I will send other people from the clan to go." Lord Tutun, can you bet? ”

Although Tun Desire Valley didn't know what medicine Wu Zetian was selling in the gourd, he knew that Wu Zetian's decree would let Baihua within three days, which was simply impossible.

Seeing that the ministers were all full of anxiety, Tunyugu thought about it for a while, and he didn't think he would lose, but nodded and said, "I fought this bet!" ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he was happy in his heart, and said that he would take the pen and immediately mention a poem. The poem says:

The emperor traveled to the garden and quickly reported the spring.

The flowers will be sent in three days, don't wait for the wind to blow.

After writing, Wu Zetian handed it to Princess Taiping and said to Tunyugu: "Look at it, this is the holy decree!" ”

Princess Taiping took it, ordered to take a high ladder, and hung the poem on the high branch with the most buds.

As soon as he came back from Shanglin Yuan, Wu Zetian called Shangguan Wan'er.

"You take a group of people to Shangyuan now, prepare 20,000 catties of charcoal, bring 100 or dozens of water pots, everything is up to Lu Xiaoxian, he knows how to make flowers bloom early."

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" Shangguan Wan'er felt a little unbelievable.

"Just do it!" Wu Zetian waved his hand again and again, "Don't let outsiders know as much as possible, it must be done in three days, and then everything must be cleaned up." Remember, no traces of man-made can be left, and in addition, I will order Junchen to send someone to martial law, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave the Shangyuan for three days. ”

Shangguan Wan'er accepted the task in confusion and immediately left the palace.

Wu Zetian kept pacing, sometimes sneering, sometimes going outside to look at the sky.

Soon, Wu Zetian summoned Junchen into the palace, saw him, without any foreshadowing, and directly ordered: "From now on, the people who lead you will block the road to Shangyuan, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Now, you go and set up ......"

Wu Zetian confessed to the matter, Lai Junchen has never discounted it, he hurried away with a secret order.

For three days and three nights, without sleep, in Shangyuan, Lu Xiaoxian, Shangguan Wan'er and Yang Si took more than 300 eunuchs to arrange heating and flowers.

On the avenue leading to Shangyuan, in the residential area of a famous official in Luoyang, Lai Junchen took his men and cruised back and forth.

Three days later is unknowable, but Lai Junchen is convinced that His Majesty will definitely be able to do it.

Before dawn, Shangguan Wan'er entered the palace, went straight to the inner bed, and announced through the curtain: "Your Majesty, half of the flowers in Shangyuan have buds!" ”

The next night, Shangguan Wan'er reported again: "Most of the flowers have bloomed!" ”

On the evening of the third day, Shangguan Wan'er reported again: "All the flowers have basically bloomed, and they will be blooming by tomorrow." ”

Finally hearing the good news, Wu Zetian was light, and said with a deep sigh of relief: "Wan'er has worked hard for you, Lu Xiaoxian has won the first credit for this matter." ”

After that, Wu Zetian instructed again: "You go back, the most important thing is to clean up the Shangyuan, don't let people see it, and you take care of Junchen, go to the Shangyuan tomorrow morning, don't show traces!" ”

So, a strange morning befell Luoyang City.

Tun Desire Valley came to Shanglin Yuan again, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were already waiting for the drive.

The scene in front of him suddenly stunned him: the flowers in Shangyuan actually bloomed in the middle of winter.

Wu Zetian's holy decree can actually take over the merit of heaven and earth, make a hundred flowers bloom, and the valley of desire is incomprehensible.

Just when the ministers and the Tunyu Valley were excited and frightened, Wu Zetian's Luan arrived at the car.

Everyone shuddered, but naturally fell on their knees and shouted hooray.
