Time passed quickly, and at noon the next day, after Li Hong finished eating, Chen Gong walked up to him and said, "Your Highness, we are ready to go." ”

"Hmm." Li Hong nodded slightly, "Let's go now!" Let's go to Luoyang City first. ”

He said it very lightly, because in his opinion, this visit to Luoyang City is just a relaxation, as for seeing Xu Wenqiang, it is just him who is on the way, it is too easy for him to want to destroy the Qing Gang, Cheng Dazhi comes to Luoyang City, and within a month, the Luoyang Qing Gang will disappear in Luoyang City.

Now, it is still early for him to agree with Xu Wenqiang, he is going to Luoyang City to go shopping, in fact, the place he wants to go to the most is the White Horse Temple, he wants to see how the White Horse Temple is being built after the martial arts.

Li Hong walked out of the mansion, and forty guards came down to Luoyang Street in the dark.

The king's qi gathers, also known as the king's hegemony.

It's about what happened after the capture of Luoyang...

Li Hong did not waste time, and soon arrived at the place where the White Horse Temple was built in Luoyang City, and saw the White Horse Temple under construction at the scene, Li Hong also had to sigh at the magnanimity of the Empress Wu. Because of the completion of the construction of this temple, Li Hongneng is sure that he will become the most magnificent temple in the Tang Dynasty and even in history.

It will become the first ancient temple in the Tang Dynasty.

The whole temple of the White Horse Temple sits in the north and faces south, and is a long courtyard with a total area of about 40,000 square meters. The main buildings include the Tianwang Palace, the Great Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Receiving Palace, the Pilu Pavilion, etc., all of which are listed on the central axis of the north-south direction. Although it is not the "old style of Xiyi Tianzhu" when it was founded, the temple site has never been moved, so the platform and well of the Han Dynasty are still faintly visible. There are five major halls and four courtyards, as well as east and west wings.

The whole temple has a regular layout and a simple style. Outside the temple gate, there are new stone archways, release ponds, stone arch bridges in the south of the square in recent years, and the left and right sides of it are green spaces. There are two stone horses on the left and right, the size is equivalent to the real horse, the image is gentle and tame, the height of the horse is 1.75 meters, the length is 2.20 meters, and the weight is bowed.

The mountain gate of the White Horse Temple adopts a stone archway-style three-hole stone arc door. "Mountain Gate" is the main gate of Chinese Buddhist temples, which is generally composed of three gates, symbolizing the "Three Liberation Gates" of Buddhism "Empty Gate", "Wuxiang Gate" and "Wuzuo Gate".

Because many monasteries in ancient China were built in mountain villages, they are also known as "mountain gates".

On the east and west sides of the mountain gate, there are two monk tombs of Morteng and Zhu Falang. The five major halls from south to north are the Tianwang Palace, the Big Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Palace, the Receiving Hall and the Pilu Palace. There are statues in every hall. The Pilu Hall is on the Qingliang Terrace, and the Qingliang Platform is the place where the Buddhist scriptures are translated by Mo Teng and Zhu Falang. The east and west wings are symmetrical. The whole building is grand and solemn, and the layout is rigorous. In addition, there are more than 40 inscriptions.

How could such a magnificent temple not amaze Li Hong, this scale has surpassed the Great Solemn Temple and the Great Ci'en Temple before Chang'an City. Empress Wu is preparing to regard Luoyang as her foundation, preparing to live in Luoyang for a long time, and preparing to warm her luck in Luoyang.

It's no wonder that the powerful Shanggaozong has never been in Chang'an much after Mount Tai sealed the Zen, it turned out that it was all because the Empress Wu was thinking about his luck; It is no wonder that in history, after Gaozong lived in Luoyang, he fell into power, so that he died early, which has a lot to do with the great victory of Empress Wu's luck and the decline of Gaozong's luck.

Thinking of this, Li Hong broke out in a cold sweat.

He can't control what Gaozong does, but he definitely won't stay in Luoyang for too long.

In history, wasn't it because he was in Chang'an that he didn't lose his luck, so that the Empress Wu was jealous of him and was ruthless to him?

In this way, he can only fight against Empress Wu by staying in Chang'an City. If he stays in Luoyang, the luck gathered in Luoyang will not be useful to him, but will weaken his luck, and he will only be like Gaozong in Luoyang, being consumed little by little, and replaced by Empress Wu.

However, Li Hong knew so much, and he couldn't tell Gaozong.

First, Gaozong estimated that he had known for a long time, but he had never opposed Empress Wu, perhaps 80% of the reason was that he hoped that he could cultivate his luck in Chang'an in order to compete with Empress Wu, Gaozong had high hopes for him, and he had never let him return to Luoyang but stayed in Chang'an City, probably for this consideration.

In addition, only when Gaozong is in Luoyang can he consume the luck of the Empress Wu and slow down the growth of the luck of the Empress Wu. Therefore, in a sense, Gaozong may have wanted to sacrifice himself to become a martial queen.

Thinking about Gaozong in history, regardless of Li Shimin's testament, he had to recruit Empress Wu into the palace and make him the queen, and Empress Wu became what he is now step by step, didn't Gaozong reflect on his original decision?

With Gaozong's character, he reflected, so if he wanted to make up for his previous impulsive decision, the only way to cultivate himself was to use himself to fight against the martial queen.

Thinking about it like this, Li Hong's heart suddenly brightened.

It is no wonder that Li Hong in history has never been out of Chang'an City except for a long trip, except for physical reasons, it is estimated that he stayed in Chang'an City to gather luck.

In history, Gaozong valued Li Hong, and even after Li Hong's death, he also gave him the title of filial piety to the emperor, which may be related to his ability to gather Taoist luck and Tang Dynasty luck to fight against Wuhou Buddhism.

"Your Highness, do you want to destroy it?" Chen Gong saw the prince's ugly expression after seeing the White Horse Temple, and he said carefully.

"How?" Li Hong asked, "A fire?" ”。

"Yes." Chen Gong nodded and replied.

"No need, burning it will only cost people more money." Li Hong said in a low voice.

Chen Gong was puzzled.

Li Hong explained. "The queen mother's determination to build a temple is very strong, which no one can shake, and now even if we burn down the White Horse Temple, won't she continue to build the White Horse Temple? In this way, a lot of money will have to be spent, and this money can only come from the treasury, and it can only come from taxes from the people. ”。

"Humble and stupid, please punish His Highness!" Chen Gong said with a guilty face.

"It's not your fault, don't think about it." Li Hong comforted, "Let's go back!" ”

"No!" Chen Gong received the order.

Li Hong was in front, Chen Gong followed closely, and the group strode away from the scene.

As soon as Li Hong's figure disappeared in the White Horse Temple, a middle-aged Confucian appeared in the place where Li Hong had just stood, he was the Confucian who appeared in Ding Li's mansion, he looked at the figure of Li Hong leaving, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but this smile was a little cold...
