Hearing Master Xuanzang's warm invitation, Li Zhi and Wu Zhaoyi immediately took square steps, and under the observation of the civil and military ministers, they went to the gate of this tower in person, looking at the two stone tablets covered with red silk. Turning around, with this excitement, he said to the ministers: "When the first emperor was in power, since he met Master Xuanzang, he often warned me that Buddhism respects the image of the void, not only by taking advantage of the secluded to control silence, but also to promote all kinds of products and rule the ten directions. Using Buddhism to govern the world can not only raise the power of the spirit and be supreme, but also suppress the power of the gods. Therefore, in the past five years since I succeeded to the throne, I have kept in mind the teachings of the previous emperors, abided by the laws of my ancestors, and did not dare to violate their consciousness at all, so that I have the prosperous era of today's Tang Dynasty. This is not only the blessing of the Buddha, but also the blessing of the ancestors' spirits in heaven, and at the same time, it is also the dedication of the ministers. ”

Hearing His Majesty's praise, the ministers bowed down again and bowed down again, thanking His Majesty for his grace. Under Li Zhi's instructions, after they were flattened, the ministers also witnessed Li Zhi, and they were about to personally unveil the red silk of the Tang Sanzang Holy Order.

According to normal etiquette, this unveiling of the monument is completely up to Li Zhi alone, and he does not need the assistance of the queen or the intervention of the concubine. Today, however, a different system of etiquette has been formed. I saw that Li Zhi at this time once again took Wu Meiniang's hand, and gently touched it in her palm, giving her a clear hint.

When he got this hint, Wu Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, never expecting that His Majesty would let him unveil the monument with him. It was precisely because of this serious impropriety that he cast a look of rejection.

However, at this time, Li Zhi, after getting her response, then smiled slightly with earnest eyes, and nodded at the same time. Although Wu Zhaoyi was ready to make a decision again, he did not leave her the slightest chance to refuse again. But he saw that he held her hand tightly, and took the lead in walking to the inscription inscribed by Taizong, and gently pulled, and the red silk fell to the ground like this.

Watching this scene, many civil and military ministers were suddenly shocked. How could a woman be allowed to interfere in this matter of His Majesty personally unveiling the monument. When they were about to stop it, this Li Zhi had already taken Mei Niang's hand and walked to the front of the inscription written by him himself, and with such a gentle pull, the red silk fell like this.

Looking at such a scene, some of the civil and military ministers said that they were holding back their anger, but seeing that Li Zhi was personally holding Wu Zhaoyi's hand, it was difficult to say anything.

And in this scene, Li Zhi once again gave a clear hint to the ministers: This Mei Niang is me, I am Mei Niang, and this king and queen I am abolished. Seeing that His Majesty could have such ambition, some officials who were good at welcoming couldn't help but rejoice.

So after the unveiling ceremony was over, Master Xuanzang led Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang to climb the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in person. Flipping through the scriptures carefully translated by Master Xuanzang, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang also praised them from time to time.

When everyone climbs the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, looking at the inside and outside of Chang'an City, it is so dazzling and splendid, the majestic Daxing Palace, the bustling Vermilion Bird Street, the rigorous market workshop, everything is so orderly, peaceful and peaceful. At this time, Wu Meiniang climbed high and looked far away, and she also had mixed feelings, such a good Tang Dynasty, in the face of the step that she was about to pursue, could she succeed? Although her heart was full of endless confusion, she understood that opportunities were reserved for those who were prepared.

With the end of this Buddha worship and the unveiling ceremony. Master Xuanzang followed Wang Xuance to personally present Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zhaoyi, and returned to the gate of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple again. After some greetings, Li Zhi followed Wu Zhaoyi to the jade chariot and walked towards Daxing Palace under the support of the guards.

At this time, Li Zhi looked at Mei Niang in this jade rut, and asked with curiosity: "Mei Niang, seeing that you are so pious in front of the Buddha, can you tell me what wish you have made?" ”

Hearing such a question, this Wu Zhaoyi immediately thought about it, looked at Li Zhi, who was quite affectionate, and said: "Mei Niang, thank you Your Majesty for such a grand favor, all this should be the etiquette that a queen should have, but Your Majesty let Mei Niang accept it, it is really ashamed." So Mei Niang made two grand wishes. ”

"Oh, what a wish, tell me about it"

"The first wish is to bless Your Majesty with longevity and health, and the peace and security of the country and the people. This second wish was made for the queen, praying for the whole world, the wind and rain are smooth, and the six animals are prosperous. Wu Zhaoyi then said to Li Zhi with a smile on his face.

Hearing that Mei Niang cared so much about herself, and was so knowledgeable, this Li Zhi not only expressed his gratitude again, but also felt that the decision he buried in his heart was not wrong.

Looking at the mighty car driving away, Wang Xuance followed Zhou Chen and the others, accompanied by Master Xuanzang, to watch all this. When watching all this disappear into the alley of Jinchangfang. But when I saw that everyone also let out a long breath......

"Alas, I'm almost exhausted......" Zhou Zeng said with his head down and patting his shoulder.

"Look, Your Majesty is back." Chen Maocai looked at Zhou Zeng, who was quite tired, and casually said such a sentence.

This sentence not only made Zhou Zeng stand up straight again in an instant and look towards the alley, but also made Wang Xuance and Master Xuanzang also stunned, when they found out that it was just a joke. Then he cast a cold smile......

And when Zhou Zeng found out that this was a trick on him, he immediately glared at him fiercely: "You kid can!" ”

provoked Chen Maocai, and he also covered his mouth and laughed happily.

After this discussion, everyone also returned to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple. I saw that the three of them had followed this week, and thought about this again and said: "Big brother, why do you say that Your Majesty wants to be so honored with Wu Zhaoyi this time, this is the etiquette that only the queen has, and it is really against etiquette to let this Wu Zhaoyi accept it." ”

"As far as you talk a lot, how can we talk about this matter privately" Chen Maocai looked at the surroundings and saw that there were no outsiders, and then said to them in a low voice: "You can't see this, this is Your Majesty already has the idea of abolishing the queen and establishing Wu Zhaoyi as the queen." ”

"Ah, it's true?" When Zhou Zeng heard this, he immediately let out a loud sigh.

Chen Maocai hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "You kid don't want to die." This sentence instantly made Zhou Zeng understand, so he lowered his voice again and asked Wang Xuance: "Big brother, mage, what do you think about this?" ”

I saw Wang Xuance, while walking, he smiled slightly: "This is Your Majesty's family matter, and you have no right to interfere as a courtier." ”

Zhou Zeng immediately turned around and walked to the three of them, and after his eyes purred around, he looked at Master Xuanzang. And Master Xuanzang also smiled slightly and said: "Wang Changshi is right, I also mean this."

As they expected. Eleven months later, in October of the sixth year of Yonghui, under the manipulation of Li Zhi, under the many friendships of Wu Zhaoyi, and under the recommendation of many cronies, at the cost of deposing the auxiliary minister Zhu Suiliang, Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei were abolished, and Wu Zhaoyi was appointed as the new empress of the Tang Empire......

As a result, the era that belongs to Wu Meiniang gradually opened her glorious chapter......

The editor said: Since then, this Wu Meiniang has officially reached the pinnacle of this right...... In order to repay the Buddha, a prosperous era of Buddhism is about to begin......
