The years are slow and fleeting, and this year's spring and summer seasons do not seem to be much different, and the summer solstice is not as hot and dry as in previous years, so that the alternation of spring and summer is imperceptibly blurred. Even the Langqiu that followed did not seem to be much different from the previous two seasons.

But it's still very cold on the winter solstice.

In the late winter of this year, the legendary Mingtang, which had gone through ten months of painstaking work and groundbreaking, was finally completed under the command of Xue Huaiyi!

This is really a miracle, whether it is the legendary Mingtang who can only get a glimpse of the remnants of the cultivation in reality, or Xue Huaiyi, it is a miracle!

According to a series of historical records such as the old and new Tang books "Tang Yaohui" and "Zizhi Tongjian", the Ming Hall has three floors, with many names and exquisiteness. It is to imitate the rotation of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter; and Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai twelve hours; and the five elements and eight trigrams and the twenty-four solar terms are formed one by one according to the lower, middle and upper levels.

The whole Ming Hall is the martial arts force to dismantle the Qianyuan Hall (i.e., the Qianyang Hall of Sui), attached to the pedestal and built, three hundred feet (88 meters) square, two hundred and ninety-four feet high (91.43 meters, equivalent to twice the Taihe Hall of the Qing Imperial Palace);

There are many implications for this......

As soon as this Ming Hall was completed, it was natural that Emperor Li Dan led his ministers to meet the Empress Wu in this magnificent and miraculous Ming Hall. In the long history, the grand scene of "the Son of Heaven sitting in the Ming Hall", which is often mentioned in the book but has always been difficult to find in reality, finally appeared in the early days of the Tang Dynasty! It's just that it is not the Son of Heaven who sits high in this Ming Hall to accept the worship and congratulations of the ministers, but the Mother of the Son of Heaven and the Holy Mother of God.

The Empress Wu is so strong, but in the end, no one dares to question or object to her qualifications to sit in the Ming Hall.

In addition, Empress Wu ordered the reform of the text, proofreading and unifying the various texts, and included the word "Cao" derived from the image of "the sun, the moon and the beautiful sky" in the new text, implying that he stood on the top of Yaotai and the colorful clouds like the sun and the moon, shining on the mountains and rivers and the sky!

At the same time, there were constantly auspicious rays for the Holy Mother and Emperor in various parts of the Tang Kingdom, and the Empress Wu was happy to accept it and push the boat down the river.

And Xue Huaiyi, the male pet who supervised the creation of Mingtang, won the heart of the martial queen! But the surprises that Xue Huaiyi brought to the Empress Wu were far more than these, not long after the successful completion of the Ming Hall, Xue Huaiyi carefully laid out a surprise for the Empress Wu!

He built a five-story "heaven" in the north of the Ming Hall and the Sui Daye Hall slightly west of the Ming Hall. He knew that the Empress Wu liked Buddha and Zen, and this paradise was specially used to store huge Buddha statues.

The size of the Buddha statue, although the history books have regretted and not recorded, it is not difficult for our future generations to imagine and measure it through the dust of history from the details; Looking at a subtle detail, it is recorded in the history books that the Buddha statue can accommodate dozens of people in just one ring finger, so you can imagine the Buddha statue and the magnificent image when heaven reflects it!

This heaven has a total of five floors, and when it reaches the third layer, the height has already covered the Ming Hall.

It is not difficult to imagine such a scene, the prosperous world after nightfall is brightly lit, and the stars and moon are shining. No matter where you are in the Shendu, you will definitely see a huge giant Buddha standing tall in the sea of clouds and stars in the Taichu Palace, which is far or close to you, with a compassionate expression and a serene posture, and you will be able to protect your subjects and protect all living beings with wisdom......

What kind of comfort should it be, so that even the soul of the void space can't help but bow and worship, trembling and respecting, the great harmony and special scene of the unity of heaven and man! .

The Confucian skirt is pleated, and the color of the bright red background and the gold edge fills the eyes, bringing an invisible aura. The high-silk cloud sideburns are hairpinned with jade-colored silk flowers, and a few fine tassels are left with ingenuity. Taiping's expression was kind and smooth, and his posture was cunning, and he lifted the teapot with inlaid colors and filled a cup of tea for the Empress Wu himself.

The small carved lattice window has a faint sunlight squeezing in, and everything around is dyed with a thin gray silhouette, but the atmosphere seems soft and peaceful.

"Mother." Taiping hooked his lips and smiled, raised his hand and respectfully handed the tea cup to the front of Empress Wu, "Mother, please use tea." "Feather eyelashes, sweet and glutinous," this is a unique tea species in Anhua, Hunan, through many processes such as steaming and fermentation, it has many effects such as beauty, beauty, and calming the nerves, which is better than the best aged Pu'er in tea! The daughter is looking for this for her mother, but she wastes a lot of effort! The last sentence is a little coquettish.

In front of me is clearly a picture of mother's love and son's filial piety and happiness, and there is no trace of gloom and abnormality.

It's only been a few months since Xue Shao's incident, but Taiping seems to have forgotten all about that period of smoke, and she seems to be in a very good mood. Since that wanton invasion of the palace and being coldly targeted by her mother to make her touch the nail, she seems to have changed a lot, and since then she has not mentioned anything about Xue Shao at all.

It turns out that people's state of mind can really change in essence due to the stimulation of certain events and the difference of certain situations, and sometimes even Taiping himself wonders if there really exists a flesh-and-blood person called "Xue Shao" in this chaotic world, which is stacked by many illusions and karma?

Yes, right? No, no, why did this person never feel real to her......

Didn't you? It doesn't seem right, because I did have such a grand wedding with that person, and I had such a first husband called "Xue Shao"!

It's really ridiculous to think about it, it turns out that the interior of this marriage between her and Xue Shao is actually as frivolous as a dry straw that can't withstand scrutiny; What I remember deeply and prove that person seems to have existed is actually a wedding with all the scenery and dignity......

Is there or isn't it?

Forget it, people can't be too deep in the flood of memory, constantly competing, repeating and serious. That kind of hard work will not bring tangible benefits to yourself at all, it is better to look forward to the road and go all the way!

For her daughter's maturity day and night, Empress Wu will be silent. She frowned, and while taking the tea cup handed by her daughter and tasting it to her lips, she let her daughter talk to herself like this, without saying a word. She has been annoyed lately, and she really doesn't have the heart to spend on the study of tea.

"Mother." Taiping called thoughtfully, and the wisp of sorrow between Empress Wu's eyebrows was already in her eyes, and she also had a little guess in her heart. She moved her body to the side of Empress Wu, "Mother, but are you worrying about the affairs of the people?" Shanlai's eyes floated with ripples and water, and his voice was turbulent, although it was a question, it did not make waves, which showed that this question was not suddenly thought of at the moment.

Empress Wu glanced sideways at Taiping and nodded slightly.

Taiping is right, she is indeed worried about that kind of thing......

Looking at the current pattern, even though the so-called "auspicious" things have sprung up in various places, it can be said that they are following the trend. But even so, the message conveyed in this may not be completely powerful for the Empress Wu, and there are still many negative glooms!

Confucianism, which has had a great influence on humanistic thought since ancient times, is actually trying its best to oppose women's participation in politics! There is a way in Confucianism, "the chicken is the morning, and the family is the rope"; It means "the hen is responsible for the rooster's crowing, and it is the misfortune of the house!" ”

So from the perspective of Confucianism, continue to extend its meaning from small to large, that is: women rule, and a country will perish!

Empress Wu didn't think much about this at first, she only used the Confucian doctrine of "heaven and man induction", wanting to prove to the world that she was in power is the will of heaven, if so, it is heaven who wants to grant the emperor to be a woman; But it is precisely at this time that he took the initiative to cast a handle to arrest people, which will make people point to the miracles of women's power, and use Confucianism's analysis of women's power to oppose the martial arts' power, and point out that the so-called auspicious rui is actually not auspicious, but a warning from the sky to disasters.

After such a hard and busy work, at the end, Empress Wu faintly felt a sense of sadness that he had lifted a stone and smashed his feet...... Even though she seems to be able to parry all kinds of unfavorable rhetoric and opposition on her face, how can she not be upset in her heart?

Seeing that Empress Wu bowed his head to himself, Taiping was sure in his heart, lowered his eyes, turned his gaze to the tea in the cup, raised his hand to hold the fruit wood spoon, and stirred up a layer of foam floating on the tea surface: "But it's not a thing." She said in such a leisurely manner, and when she opened her mouth again, it did not match the preface very well, "Tea is like Zen, if there is a day to taste the great mystery of tea, it is the realm of Buddha!" After the sound fell, he raised his eyes, gently pulled the warm arc, smiled at his mother, and didn't say much.

Mother will understand.

Some of the points have always been the key to the wisdom of the wise.

The wind "banged" and knocked open the carved window, which shocked the martial queen's heart at the same time, and suddenly gave birth to a kind of afterthought!

She understood her daughter's meaning, and Taiping's words went from tea to Zen to Buddha...... But it turns out that this is the solution to this matter in my heart! Taiping is telling her that since she can't find a statement in the Confucian classics to support the power of women, she should start working on the Buddhist classics!

This truth is so simple, why didn't I think of it earlier? Empress Wu stroked the corner of her forehead, smiled unconsciously, and ordered someone to reward Princess Taiping Mingzhu Qianhui.

At this time, the light of heaven clutched, and a shallow layer of gold was plated for Taiping's deep face: "Thank you for your mother's grace." "She has a good voice and a good curvature of her lips," the son retired. "The well-timed bend bowed to the front, and left after being allowed.

For a moment, when Taiping stepped into the deep aisle, he vaguely saw a smile floating on her red lips.
