Chapter 38: Wu Zetian Knows Everything

While having a meal, Zhang Lin reported to Wu Zetian the thrilling process and great gains of arresting Ge Fuyuan:

Two groups of assassins broke into Gefu, and their purpose should be to kill Gefuyuan; Cao Ren's army led thousands of Zuoying Yangwei's imperial guards to besiege Gefu, which was different from the previous practice of hijacking Hong Shaoqian's prison van on the street, but the purpose was the same, trying to steal Gefuyuan from us; in the end, Li Zhaode personally took action, and killed Gefuyuan in front of us, which shows that Li Zhaode was no longer afraid of the emperor. Do you know how much money was found from the underground of Gefu? 86,000 taels of gold, 1.540,000 taels of silver, and 20 hu of pearls... It is really wealthy and wealth that can be compared to a country.

Wu Zetian did not react much after hearing this, and was not as surprised or angry as she imagined. She ignored her words when she listened, as if she had mastered these situations long ago. After listening, she looked at Zhang Lin with an intriguing gaze and smiled faintly:

"What's the name of the person Li Zhaode released for you?"

After hearing Wu Zetian's words, Zhang Lin almost swears. It turns out that she knows everything. But she doesn't know whether she knows the fact that she and Ye Yu are drinking alone?

He knew that nothing could be hidden from Wu Zetian, so he simply told what he could say and reported it truthfully:

"He is named Chen Ping, like Xiao He, I was a friend of my humble time, but I really don't like him. Li Zhaode captured him! Xiao He should have told you that the reason he overheard the top secret news from Li Zhaode's mansion was because he sneaked in to save Chen Ping and overheard it. Li Zhaode proposed to exchange Chen Ping for Ge Fuyuan. I disagree. I told him that a man who crowed and thieves could not be replaced by the imperial court. If he wanted to change his body, he could only change his body. Li Zhaode was angry and killed Ge Fuyuan! Fortunately, an assassin who broke into Ge Fuyuan was caught by us, and Tian Meng, the general of Zuoying Yangwei who ambushed us in the canyon, was also arrested in Gefu. He did not let Li Zhaode see it. Now he is locked in the East Factory dungeon..."

Wu Zetian did not ask about Chen Ping's origin, nor did Tige Fuyuan's life or death, nor did he ask about the assassin Hotan Meng. While picking up food for Zhang Lin with affectionate attitude, he said with a smile: "It seems that you are more than two friends from Xiao He, Chen Ping."

Zhang Lin was stunned. It seemed that the emperor had already known about the visit to Tianzhu. The emperor was really obsessed with everything, and her eyes and ears were everywhere. I am afraid that the intimacy between her and Ye Yu was probably not hidden. However, this matter was too sensitive and too important. Can it be hidden or hidden, unless a fool would take the initiative to mention this matter.

As for the Feitian Biao Hanxin incident, Zhang Lin felt that there was no need to hide it. Although there was such a friend who was not very glorious, it was a past fact and no one could change it. So he smiled and admitted frankly: "Yes, there are three friends in Weishi, and one of them was called Hanxin."

"Your friends are all so awesome!" Wu Zetian was amazed.

"All of them are humble people, what's so great about it!" Zhang Lin said modestly.

"Han Xin, Xiao He, Chen Ping, those are the three great masters of the Han Dynasty! With you Zhang Lin, aren't you four great masters? Can the four great masters be said to be not powerful? Han Gao can be called emperor, and the great man can last for four hundred years depends on you four!" Wu Zetian's words were meaningful.

From Wu Zetian's words and tone, Zhang Lin could faintly hear a slight sour taste, which was filled with suspicion. Fortunately, his identity was a harem worshiper and a person from Wu Zetian. If he was a general of the Shangshu or the top scholar, this suspicion might turn into a killing. He thought so in his heart.

Zhang Lin was complaining in his heart, how could his predecessor make friends with such three people? It doesn’t matter how you call one person’s name, but three or four people will be suspicious of any dynasty or generation when they go through such a combination!

After complaining, he was glad that with his identity and his experience in Yeyu's bedroom, Wu Zetian's suspicion for the three heroes and four heroes was better than his feelings.

Zhang Lin picked up the wine glass and looked at Wu Zetian, looking a little excited:

"The three heroes, four heroes, five heroes, and ten heroes are useless. If there were no Han Gao, the emperor would be Han Gao, the female heroes. We so-called heroes are all galloping for the emperor! Emperor, I respect you! May the country of our Great Zhou last for eight hundred years!"

"Well said!" Wu Zetian laughed happily when he heard this, picked up the wine glass and touched Zhang Lin enthusiastically, and then drank it all in one go.

"How could your friend named Han Xin go to jail? Could it be that he also made a plan to rebel?" Wu Zetian's eyes fluttered and he asked calmly.

Seeing that Wu Zetian took the initiative to talk about Handan Xin's jail, Zhang Lin felt relaxed and took this great opportunity to ask the emperor to let Handan Xin go. Since Chen Ping, who had no impression of him and did not like him, was rescued without hesitation, then Handan Xin, who had an impression of him and admired him, had to rescue him without hesitation.

There are three options to save Han Xin, who was sentenced to death. One is to use the gold medal of avoiding death, the second is to rob the prison, and the third is to ask the emperor to be kind.

If Han Xin was his own good friend, Zhang Lin might have saved him with the gold medal of waive death, but, after all, he was his original friend, and only had a fragmented memory. Zhang Lin could not waste the gold medal of waive death for him.

As for the purpose of Hanxin Jieduo, it is even more unnecessarily necessary. Besides, with Hanxin's character and behavior, he may not agree to leave with the person who Jieduo.

It is better to ask the emperor to be kind to come easily and openly. This is probably something that Han Xin can accept, and he is also trying every means to find what Xiao He hopes for.

"The Emperor is kidding. How could a humble person like them make a move to rebel?" Zhang Lin laughed, "He was sentenced to death because he stole something."

"What did you steal?" Wu Zetian asked slightly.

Zhang Lin knew that Wu Zetian was asking questions knowingly, so he told him in detail: "It is said that he stole the Heshi Bi."

"Stealed Heshi Bi? That's what to kill!" Wu Zetian looked surprised and angry.

Zhang Lin shook his head. He knew that the emperor was very obsessed. How could she not be angry if Han Xin stole such valuable things? He asked seriously: "Prince, how much is the Heshi Bi worth?"

"Why are you asking this?" Wu Zetian tilted his head.

Zhang Lin smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I just want to know its value, so I'll stay away from it in the future!"

Wu Zetian approached Zhang Lin and said seriously: "You know the story of returning the jade to Zhao. At that time, the King of Qin wanted to exchange fifteen cities for Heshi Bi. This shows that the Heshi Bi is worth fifteen cities. That was a thousand years ago, and now it must be much more than this price."

Zhang Lin disagreed and said, "But as far as I know, the King of Qin lied to the King of Zhao, and he did not give a single city to Zhao."

Wu Zetian frowned and said, "Junbao, what do you mean by saying this? Do you think the Heshi Bi is worthless?"
