After Xue Huaiyi entered the palace, Wu Cao saw that his cultural level was not high, and at first he wanted him to learn and communicate with the great monks, so that he could quickly improve his ideological consciousness and be able to integrate into the palace cultural circle.

Later, it was discovered that his hobby was not in cultural and ideological composition, but in leading soldiers to fight and galloping freely on the battlefield, and his specialty was architecture and medicine collection.

In order to fully tap the potential of his boyfriend, so that he could become an official and become a member of the aristocracy, Wu Cao made a big fuss about architecture, Buddhist scriptures and war.

First, a sum of money was allocated to send Xue Huaiyi to repair the White Horse Temple, and the household department and the Ministry of Industry sent people to cooperate, recruiting skilled craftsmen and purchasing various decoration materials.

Xue Huaiyi was conscientious and responsible, personally supervised, and soon renovated the entire temple, with red walls and green tiles, and antique. After Wu Cao came to inspect and accept, he was very satisfied and appointed Xue Huaiyi as the master of the White Horse Temple!

Then, Xue Huaiyi presided over the maintenance and expansion of the Jingai Temple, and Wu Cao renamed the renovated Jingai Temple as the Buddha Conferral Temple. The successful completion of two consecutive construction projects has added a lot of points to Xue Huaiyi.

Next, Xue Huaiyi participated in the discussion of the imperial court's meeting on the construction of the Ming Hall, put forward an ingenious idea, and was appointed by Wu Cao as the director of the Ming Hall project.

The grand Mingtang project was completed in only ten months, and when the towering and splendid Mingtang stood in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, the civil and military officials and the common people were shocked!

Wu Cao gave the name of Vientiane Shrine, and took the opportunity to praise Xue Huaiyi's great achievements in public, and worshiped him as General Zuo Weiwei and Liang Guogong. Xue Huaiyi said impassionedly: "*******, when you encounter a storm, you will turn into a dragon!" ”

When Wu Cao and the civil and military officials were feasting, they were irradiated by the great light of the Buddha of Immeasurable Light. As a lay disciple of Buddhism, Wu Cao was so moved that he ordered Xue Huaiyi, the Duke of Liang, to build a five-storey heaven 16 meters north of the Ming Hall to store the Buddha statue of Amitayus.

Just as Xue Huaiyi was nervously preparing for a larger-scale Paradise Project, the Turks were unwilling to be lonely and led their troops to invade the border. Wu Cao appointed Xue Huaiyi as the governor of Xinping Province to lead the army to defeat the Turks.

Xue Huaiyi held his armor and led the army to gallop on the battlefield, yelling and shouting along the way, extremely excited, his childhood dream finally came true! But he didn't expect that it was the female emperor who helped him achieve it.

Xue Huaiyi set out from Luoyang and rushed all the way to Danyutai, Qinghai, but never saw the Turkic cavalry. After catching a few Turks and asking, the Turkic Mo Si had already led his troops away, and he couldn't find anyone!

Under the advice of the staff, Xue Huaiyi held a ceremony to carve stones in Shan Yutai, and then triumphantly returned to the class.

After returning to the dynasty, Xue Huaiyi said to Wu Cao: "As soon as the Turks heard the name of the minister, they were so frightened that they fled in fear, so the minister won without a fight!" Sun Tzu said: A hundred battles are won, and the good of the non-good is also good; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. The minister has done the good of the good! ”

Wu Cao was very happy, touched his bald head and said: "Ah Shi has finally become my virtuous helper, if you enter, you will build a great project, and when you go out, you will win the desert border pass, not bad, not bad!" ”

Wu Cao used his crusade against the Turks, and worshiped Xue Huaiyi as the second-grade auxiliary general and the Duke of Hubei, and Xue Huaiyi's rank and status were above the prime minister!

Next, Wu Cao tapped Xue Huaiyi's potential in Buddhist scriptures, sent him to look through Buddhist scriptures, and helped her find the theoretical basis for a woman to be the emperor.

After Xue Huaiyi returned to the White Horse Temple, he summoned the knowledgeable monks to the scripture buildings of the major monasteries to find the scriptures. Under the impetus of his organization, the invention and division of the first class of great masters re-annotated the "Great Cloud Sutra", and added relief, completed a new version of the "Great Cloud Sutra", and contributed to Wu Cao's accession to the throne.

The new version of the "Great Cloud Sutra" declares to the outside world: Wu Cao is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, and the purpose of reincarnation is to be the lord of salt floating in the next world, that is, the master of the southern Ganbu Continent.

Wu Cao ordered the "Great Cloud Sutra" to be promulgated to the world, and ordered the two capitals and various states to build the Great Cloud Temple to treasure the "Great Cloud Sutra". He also shaved thousands of monks, sent elders and monks to ascend to the throne to explain, and popularized the knowledge of the scriptures of the "Great Cloud Sutra"!

The large-scale construction of the Dayun Temple and the wide dissemination and explanation of the "Great Cloud Sutra" throughout the country have put on legal new clothes for women to become emperors, and created a good atmosphere of public opinion for Wu Cao's accession to the throne!

After completing the new version of the "Great Cloud Sutra", Xue Huaiyi devoted himself to the construction of the Heaven Project in full swing, and tirelessly vigorously promoted the construction process of the Heaven Project!

By the end of the second year of longevity, Xue Huaiyi, the Duke of Hubei State, after five years of hard work, finally built a more magnificent building in the north of the Ming Hall - Heaven!

Heaven was the tallest pure wooden building in the world at that time, and it was also a landmark building of the Great Zhou Empire.

Heaven has five floors, and if you go up to the third floor, you can get a bird's-eye view of Vientiane Shrine!

The Buddha statue of the immeasurable light in the heaven has also been built successfully, the body of the Buddha is as high as 250 feet, and dozens of people can be accommodated in a small finger, because the body of the Buddha is stuffed with ramie, it is also called the big Buddha of the sandwich.

Xue Huaiyi invited Wu Cao to come to inspect and accept Heaven. Wu Cao looked up at the tall Buddha and couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow, then climb the wooden ladder and stand on the fifth floor of heaven, overlooking the entire Luoyang City!

Wu Cao looked down at the golden phoenix on the top of the Vientiane Divine Palace, and looked at the Tianmen, Duanmen, Luoshui and Dingding Gates from afar, and said happily: "I like to see the picturesque rivers and mountains today, and look forward to the future!" Ha ha. ”

Wu Cao was very satisfied with Heaven and praised Ah Shi.

From then on, Wu Cao would go to heaven every day to worship the Buddha and pray for the Buddha to bless him with longevity and immeasurable wisdom to cope with various complex situations.

In March of the first year of Yanzai, the Turks led the cavalry to invade the border fortress, and Wu Cao appointed Xue Huaiyi as the general manager of the Shuofang Road march, Li Zhaode as the chief of the march in the internal history, and Su Wei as the marching Sima, and led the eighteen generals such as Qi Mingming, Cao Renshi, and Sha Zha Zhongyi to crusade against the Turks.

Because the formation was too large, the Turkic Mursi had already heard the wind and retreated, so the soldiers and horses had not yet had time to go to battle.

Li Zhaode once discussed military deployment with the Duke of Eguo, and when there was a dispute, the Duke of Eguo punched him, and Li Zhaode was afraid of pleading guilty.

This year, there was a contradiction between Xue Huaiyi and Wu Cao.

Xue Huaiyi has done a lot of work and made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and his rank and status are also above the prime minister, so his ambition has gradually expanded, and he is no longer satisfied with being only Wu Cao's male favorite, but wants to further be Wu Cao's husband!

Once he becomes Wu Cao's husband, he will inevitably be crowned at the prince level, and then there is a possibility of getting involved in the throne, and at that time, the world will be his Xue Shi's, haha! Whoever is going to be prostrate under his power and at his beckoning, what a wonderful prospect!

Men who approach the female emperor basically have an illusion, that is, women can be emperors, why can't I be emperors when I am strong? Fu Youyi had a dream of being an emperor.

Now Xue Huaiyi has also begun to dream of being an emperor, and he thought proudly: Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can't become Wu Cao's husband, you have to strive to become her only boyfriend! This is my own psychological bottom line, and it is also my psychological defense line to sell my youth and serve the aging and declining mother-in-law!

It's a pity that it backfired, Xue Huaiyi soon found that his psychological defense line was easily broken through by Wu Cao, and Wu Cao got along with the new imperial doctor Shen Nanxuan! Master Xue was furious and had to hold back.

In fact, in Wu Cao's eyes, Xue Huaiyi is just a high-level pet she raised, and there is no essential difference from the cats, dogs, pigeons, and brocade chickens she raises. Being able to raise a male pet comes from her supreme power!

Shangguan Cairen, Zander, Xuanyi, Liushang Twenty-four Divisions and other female officials can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, so they can only criticize and ridicule her boyfriend for fun, and she makes her boyfriend keep doing things, keep adding officials to the knighthood, and the female officials are so angry in private! can only envy, jealousy, hatred, and dry eyes.

When Wu Cao saw all this, he often burst into laughter inexplicably in his heart!

Xue Huaiyi's confrontation after his dream was shattered was to live in the White Horse Temple, find various reasons to resign and serve in the palace, live freely as the temple owner, and do what he wants!

He often selects young and strong young men to shave as monks, shaves thousands of monks before and after, and directs young monks to dance with guns and sticks all day long, practicing fists and feet, just like the scene in the movie "Shaolin Temple"!

Sometimes I was so idle that I took my subordinates to run rampant in the market, but I didn't chant the scriptures and worship the Buddha, and meditated.

Shi Zhou Ju kept receiving reports from the masses, saying that Xue Huaiyi organized a large group of monks to practice, and there must be a conspiracy, so he asked Wu Cao to investigate and punish Xue Huaiyi.

Wu Cao saw that Xue Huaiyi was not very obedient and became more and more estranged from her, and wanted to teach him a lesson, so he said: "Qing retreat for the time being, I will immediately order him to go to trial." ”

Zhou Ju returned to the Imperial Historical Observatory and waited patiently for Master Xue. Soon, Master Xue really came on a high-headed horse, he rode up the steps, dismounted and walked into the yamen, and then lay on the public table without saying a word.

Zhou Ju looked at Xue Huaiyi's strange behavior curiously, and while summoning the officials, he was preparing to be promoted to the court to try the case.

Before Xue Huaiyi and his servants could gather, he suddenly rolled off the public table and stood up, rode on a tall horse and left. Zhou Ju looked confused, looked at Xue Huaiyi's distant back and said, "The kid still has this kind of operation? ”

Zhou Ju reported to Wu Cao about Xue Huaiyi's arrival at the Yushitai, and Wu Cao smiled: "Hehe, this monk is a little crazy, don't ask hard." The monks he shaved are left to Qing's disposal! ”

Xue Huaiyi was summoned to serve in the palace. Zhou Ju led the Ya Servant and the Southern Ya Forbidden Army to the east, surrounded the entire White Horse Temple, arrested all the thousands of monks, and exiled them to the frontier.

Zhou Ju was promoted to a heavenly official because of his meritorious work in investigating Xue Huaiyi.

After Xue Huaiyi returned to the White Horse Temple, he saw the empty temple and understood that he had been tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he couldn't help but be angry and stood on the Qiyun Pagoda and roared.

After calming down, Xue Huaiyi was determined to try to save Wu Cao's feelings for him.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the first month of the Zhou calendar in the first year of the Shengsheng, Wu Cao held an uncovered meeting in the Vientiane Shrine, presided over by Xue Huaiyi, and the monks of each temple held the scene.

The Uncovered Assembly is a kind of Lent that spreads good karma, spreads the Dharma, gives alms, and makes all living beings equal.

Xue Huaiyi painted a 200-foot-high Buddha statue with ox blood beforehand, and hung it on the Tianjin Bridge, reflecting the majestic heaven. He also prepared tens of thousands of copper coins and filled ten carts.

After the uncovered conference began, scholars and women gathered, and Xue Huaiyi instructed his disciples to push out the money cart and give alms. Xue Huaiyi waved his hand down on the platform, and copper coins were scattered all over the ground, attracting the crowd of onlookers to rob.

The copper coins are scattered more and more, and the sound of scrambling is higher and higher, and the atmosphere is very warm.

**, Xue Huaiyi simply pushed down the money cart, the copper money rumbled like a waterfall poured down, the scholars and girls suddenly went crazy, and went forward to grab the copper money, and the people turned over on their backs, causing a stampede.

Then, Xue Huaiyi wore a purple robe and a silver turtle bag, sat on the Dharma platform with a lofty spirit, and led the great virtues to recite the "Great Cloud Sutra".

Wu Cao seemed to have become a supporting role, and he needed to look up at Xue Huaiyi, Wu Cao felt unhappy, and after staying for a while, he led the civil and military officials to leave, and the lively uncovered conference became a purely religious conference.

Xue Huaiyi also left in a hurry after reciting the scriptures, and he wanted to go to Wu Cao to ask why he had left the Uncovered Assembly early? As a result, he saw that the imperial physician Shen Nanxuan was massaging Wu Cao, so he left angrily.

That night, in the dead of night, Xue Huaiyi led several craftsmen to pile firewood and grass inside and outside the heavens, and the firewood and grass were piled very high. After piling up, Xue Huaiyi asked the craftsmen to go back to rest.

Xue Huaiyi brought a large pot of tung oil, sprinkled oil on the high pile of firewood and grass, and then lit fires everywhere after sprinkling.

After the fire of the firewood and grass pile was burned, it was unstoppable, and the more it burned, the more it burned, the paradise of the wooden structure was also brought with it, and the fire was blazing, reflecting the dark sky all the time, and illuminating the whole Luoyang City as bright as day.

The Giant Buddha in Heaven also burned, and the top floor of Heaven fell down with a raging fire, and rested on the Vientiane Shrine, and when the night breeze blew, the Vientiane Shrine was also ignited.

A storm suddenly broke out in the center of the fire and blew outside the palace, tearing the huge Buddha statue painted in ox blood on the Tianjin Bridge into hundreds of sections.

By the time dawn came, the majestic and magnificent Great Heaven, the Vientiane Shrine and the Giant Buddha in the Luoyang Imperial Palace were all burned down and turned into a pile of ashes. The whole country was shocked for a while.

After the incident, Wu Cao issued the "Mingtang Disaster Edict", saying that the heavenly fire was caused by the workers working in the heavens accidentally igniting ramie, and the fire was so great that it spread to the Mingtang.

I have a moral deficit, and my heart is displeased, so I must reflect and repent! Call on the civil and military officials and the county commanders to also carry out their duties and persuade the farmers.

Hundreds of civil and military officials and internal and external women entered the palace to meet and comfort Wu Cao!

Xue Huaiyi was bold, this time he played big, he dared to burn down the landmark buildings of the Great Zhou Empire and burn down the place where the female emperor was sacrificing, which was obviously a serious crime against the Great Zhou Empire!

But Wu Cao did not immediately blame him, but sent someone to announce the edict, asking Ah Shi to reorganize and supervise the construction of Heaven and Ming Hall. This is tantamount to giving Ah Shi a chance to repent and reform.

But Xue Huaiyi became angry when he heard this, thinking that this was obviously asking him to eat the he pulled back by himself, and said angrily: "If you don't build, if you don't build, you won't build!" ”

Wu Cao was also angry and said, "Don't build it, right? If you don't admit your guilt, how can I explain to the subjects of the world? ”

Wu Cao waited for another two months, hoping that the male pet would change his mind. As a result, Xue Huaiyi not only did not admit his guilt, but became even more arrogant.

On February 4, Wu Cao sent someone to recruit Xue Huaiyi to meet at the Yaoguang Palace. At noon, Xue Huaiyi cautiously came to the Yaoguang Palace, which is surrounded by water and has a quiet scenery, and stood under the osmanthus tree and waited.

The two had a wonderful and romantic time here, but this time the atmosphere was noticeably different.

After a while, Wu Cao did not come, and it was Mrs. Zhang, the nurse of Princess Taiping, who came. She came with a group of strong men. Xue Huaiyi was surprised and wanted to turn around and run away.

Mrs. Zhang ordered the strong men to press Xue Huaiyi to the ground and rub and rub, then tied him up, pushed him to a secluded place outside the palace, and strangled Xue Huaiyi with a rope.

Then Xue Huaiyi's body was loaded up in a carriage, driven east, and transported to the White Horse Temple to be cremated.
