In May, Wu Chengsi led more than 26,000 people to the title of "Sacred Emperor of the Ancient Golden Wheel", which was accepted by the empress and changed to the Yuan and extended, and granted amnesty to the world.

The more ancient, the implication is to transcend the ancient, this meaning is also extraordinary, since ancient times, there is no emperor who is not happy and does not want to surpass the ancient. It's just that all generations of emperors are self-aware, but the empress obviously feels that she has merits beyond ancient times, and at the behest of so many people, she also took advantage of the situation to receive the honorific title "Yue Gu".

In short, since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Chengsi has given the empress three honorific titles, the first is the "Holy Emperor", the second is the "Golden Wheel Divine Emperor", and the third is the "Yuegu Golden Wheel Divine Emperor". The honorific title is very domineering and timely, so the empress likes it very much, so Wu Chenghei is also deeply loved by the empress, although there is no ministry, but as a prince, he still has a lot of power in the court.

Wu Sansi was very dissatisfied with this, and after discussing with the lackeys, he decided to do something to make the empress happy, especially the empress's 70th birthday, to make the world pay attention, so he united with the chiefs of the four Yi to go up and ask the empress to allow the casting of "Great Zhou Wanguo Songde Tianshu" outside the end gate.

Later, Wu Qing learned that this was a ploy offered by the Persian Mao Boluo. In ancient times, especially when the Persian Empire was strong, the pillar totem worship was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, or in ancient times, it was generally carved to record merits or totems were engraved on stone tablets, and it was rare to see a pure pillar building. But because of this, Wu Sansi's lackeys combined with the culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty and named Tianshu.

Celestial pivot is the first star of the Big Dipper. The moral is also obvious. The Tianshu was built at the gate of the end gate of the imperial city, which is also in line with the feng shui of the entire Luoyang Palace City in feng shui. The imperial city of Luoyang City has a central axis, and the central axis is in a north-south direction. The southernmost point is Longmen Yiyun, called "Tianque". To the north is the main gate of the outer city Dingding Gate, then to the north is the Tianjin Bridge, then to the north is the main gate of the Imperial City Duanmen, and then to the north is the main gate of the palace gate Zetianmen, and then to the north is the Vientiane Shrine Mingtang, Tongtian Futu Heaven. This central axis lies down, like a human body. The end gate of the imperial city is located near the navel, like the Tianshu acupoint of the human body, which is the center of the human body.

Build the Celestial Hub. It is to make the empress the center of the Great Zhou, and let Zhaomin embrace her and surround her, with profound implications.

So. When Wu Sansi and others were on the table. The Empress immediately ordered the casting. Ordered Wu Sansi and Yao Xuan to supervise the construction, ordered the chief of Siyi to donate copper and iron over 100 million, and at the same time ordered all states and counties in the world to pay copper and iron, in short, the construction of Tianshu soon began, and more than 20,000 people were served.

After Wu Qing's incident in Pansi Cave, he stayed in Shendu for a few days, although he wanted to advise him not to build a Tianshu. But seeing that the Empress was so excited, she didn't say anything. Although the iron and copper smelting technology of this era has made great progress, the output is indeed not very high. And in the previous years, Mingtang and Heaven were built. The wealth accumulated since Yonghui is almost exhausted, so it is necessary to cast Tianshu, and it is completely cast with copper and iron, I really don't know how much it will cost.

The Turks attacked the frontier from time to time, and if it were not for internal discord in Tibet, I am afraid that it would not have stopped. But the empress, who was so happy, would not have understood this at all. Since the empress was in power, she lost several major battles against Tibet, and the total number of servants exceeded 3 million, of which the number of people who were killed due to the defeat of the army is unknown. Now every time an army is dispatched, the people are fleeing. It's fine if you win, but if you lose, you're basically slaughtered. Therefore the people were miserable.

However, the significance of Tianshu is also extraordinary, in the eyes of Wu Qing, if it is built, then it is like a needle that fixes the sea and fixes the national fortune of the Great Zhou. Therefore, Wu Qing didn't think about persuasion anymore.

After coming out of the palace on this day, he met Mingtang Wei Jimi, Wuqing is Jimi's benefactor, and he naturally feels very cordial.

Ji Qi bowed and saluted, and then said, "Your Highness, you are polite." ”

Wu Qing nodded and said, "Now that you are in charge of Mingtang, you must pay attention to fire prevention measures and not be negligent." ”

Ji Qi hurriedly agreed, Wu Qing looked up at Mingtang and Heaven, to be honest, he was used to seeing high-rise buildings in his previous life, but he was still intimidated by the grandeur of Mingtang and Heaven, and in this era, such a tall building can be built purely with wood, and he can't help but sigh, it is really ingenious, and the wisdom of the ancients is not simple.

However, looking at these buildings, Wu Qing always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, this Ming Hall and Heaven have no fire prevention measures at all, and such a magnificent building has no fire prevention measures!

Even in Wuqing's mansion, Wuqing had people dig a lot of fine sand from Luoshui, put it into sacks and pile it in the corners of each yard in case of emergency, and also let the fire pool be filled with water at any time, which is to prevent fires. Most of the houses in this era were made of wood, and once they caught fire, the consequences were unimaginable, and perhaps most of Luoyang City would be burned.

So Wu Qing turned back to Lichun Terrace again, and met Wei Tuan'er who was about to go out of the palace to purchase, Wei Tuan'er is now in charge of all things in the palace and is deeply loved by the empress. Of course, he is also deeply loved by Wu Qing, and from time to time the two of them have to steal a moment in a secret place.

Wei Tuan'er didn't expect Wu Qing to turn around again, and under the emotion, he almost threw himself into Wu Qing's arms, Wu Qing hurriedly stopped it, Wei Tuan'er came to his senses, Wu Qing said: "You go first, I'll arrive later." ”

Since having a deep communication with Shangguan Wan'er and Wei Tuan'er, these two women have almost become Wuqing's outer house, and Shangguan Wan'er has to go out of the palace to visit her mother Zheng every month, in fact, half of the time is in Wuqing's arms. Wei Tuan'er has to go out of the palace every few days to make big purchases, so there will always be no one for an hour or two. Wu Qing finally realized what it means to call a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing.

Every man has the temptation to cheat, and even enjoys it. Wu Qing is a human being, not a god, so he has such a need, but he is able to control it.

Wei Tuan'er got the information, so he smiled and saluted, and walked out of the palace with the palace maid and eunuch.

Wu Qing came to Lichuntai again and explained his concerns to the empress, and the empress also agreed very much, so he asked Wu Qing to do a good job. Wu Qing ordered Yoshimi to lead his soldiers and servants to dig up fine sand in the Luo River, remove debris, put it into sacks, and base it in the open space between Heaven and Mingtang.

The officials didn't know what those sacks were for. Ji Qi didn't know either, but the King of Wei had an order, and the empress allowed it. He can only do things. What's more, since the news of Ji Qi's sister to save his father spread in the gods, he has been labeled as Wuqing. So on Captain Mingtang, no one dared to do anything to him. Although the official position in this position is humble, every time there is a court, he can get close to Tianyan, and he can see hundreds of officials going up and down every day. Over time, he basically became familiar with the officials of various ministries.

Of course. Ji Qi didn't know that King Wei could have so many skills, why didn't he cultivate his own power in the court, and look at many officials in the court were almost Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi's forces. He was anxious for King Wuqing of Wei.

In fact, there are not a few people who are anxious about Wuqing, Neishi Dou and Lu Qinwang have already hinted at Wuqing, as long as Wuqing agrees, he is willing to be a pawn. But Wu Qing only smiled slightly. There was no refusal and no promise. Wu Qing's mind is really hard to guess. Therefore, Doulu Qinwang did not dare to make any moves.

When Wu Qing left the palace, he went straight to Wen Rou Fang, where there was a small mansion, which was a mansion that Wu Qing gave to Wei Tuan'er.

After Wu Qing changed his clothes in the carriage, he asked Gao Lishi to drive the car through the gentle workshop, and then walked around Nanshi, buying whatever he wanted. Let him drive back the same way after half an hour. Gao Lishi was naturally smart, so he drove to Nanshi. Wu Qing dodged into the alley when passing through the small mansion, and then quickly got into the mansion and went straight to the attic.

In the attic, Wei Tuan'er had already bathed and changed her clothes, dressed in tulle, her private places loomed, her plump carcass looked very attractive, she leaned on the railing, her eyes fixed on the courtyard door.

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, there was a voice behind him, Wei Tuan'er turned around to look, but he was hugged upright, and he looked at it, who was not the enemy.

Wu Qing nephrite was full of lust, and there was no warmth at all, so he began to caress and entangle, Wei Tuan'er was hungry and thirsty for months, and he was already unbearable, so he shouted softly: "Lang, be rough!" ”

Wu Qing looked at the fat buttocks through the tulle, slapped it, and suddenly a handprint, Wei Tuan'er screamed in ecstasy, looking at the private place, the tulle was already wet, and immediately pressed on the table, wildly raising the gun

On this day, three people came to the gods, one was the old nun of Hanoi, who called himself "the Buddha of pure light", who could predict the future and eat only one grain of rice or one grain of sesame seeds every day. The second one is called Wei Shifang, who looks like a fairy wind dao bone, from Songshan, who claims to have been born in the Three Kingdoms during the reign of Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and is already four hundred and fifty-six years old, capable of refining elixir. The third is Lao Huren, who claims to be five hundred years old and has the art of looking at people.

Because the gods were all in an uproar, someone recommended them to the empress, and the empress was skeptical when she heard what the three men said. Lao Hu said that he had met Master Xue two hundred years ago, and Master Xue at that time was the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple.

For the empress who worships Buddha, although she believes it, she still has doubts. So the three of them performed magic skills, and Hanoi Lao Ni pinched his fingers and said that Master Xue would return to the court tomorrow. Wei Shifang pulled out his peachwood sword and swallowed it in one gulp. The old Hu man took off the wine gourd, took a big sip, took a sip, and then spewed out flames several feet long.

The Empress was shocked, but she could not see any flaws, so she thought that they were true gods. Immediately, the old nuns of Hanoi were allowed to live in the Lin Toe Temple, and Wei Shi Fang worshiped as the correct doctor, and awarded the Fengge Luantai Ping Zhangshi, participated in political affairs, and asked him to prepare to refine the elixir of life. It is also a rich reward for the old Hu people, and it is given to the house.

As a result, Hanoi Lao Nun received a large number of male and female believers in the Lin Toe Temple, and only ate one corn and one hemp every day. The old Hu people only care about collecting money. After three months of preparation, Wei Shifang finally bid farewell to the empress and went to the Lingnan area to collect medicine and prepare to refine the elixir of life.

Wu Qing was quite suspicious of these three divine sticks, although he didn't know how Wei Shifang and Lao Hu people did it, but he was sure that it had something to do with the magic in his previous life.

He didn't believe that there were living people in this world who only ate one corn and one hemp a day, so when Hanoi Lao Nun accepted believers in Lin Toe Temple for a few days, he first came to Lao Huren's mansion.

Wu Qing easily entered the mansion of the old Hu people, this mansion and Lintoe Temple are in the same square, and they are not far away. Of course, Wei Shifang's house is not far away. After entering the house, he went straight to the old Hu man's bedroom, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, Wu Qing took out a fist-sized night pearl, and suddenly the room became clear, but he didn't see the old Hu man.

After searching for a long time and making sure that Lao Hu was not in the mansion, he quietly walked towards Wei Shifang's house, only to see a faint light in Wei Shifang's house. He crept closer and found Washfang pacing back and forth in the room, muttering something to his mouth. Inaudible. After observing for half an hour, Wu Qing decided to go to Lintoe Temple to have a look.

Climbing over the wall into the Lintoe Temple, I saw the lights on in several meditation rooms, and Wu Qing listened close one by one, but did not notice anything wrong. In a meditation room, the old nun of Hanoi was found, and he was seen chanting the sutra, but there was no movement. Observe an hour later. Wu Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore. I also understand that it is impossible for these people to show their flaws soon, and it seems that they will have to be checked again after a while. At that point, there will be negligence.

After Xue Huaiyi came back from going to Shuozhou, he was named General Zuo Weiwei for his merits, and Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were like their own sons, and Xue Huaiyi was invited to sit in the first seat every time they had a banquet. Xue Huaiyi was complacent. Now he is in and out of the palace at will. No one dared to speak. Walking on the street, almost in front of the back, he is like an emperor, of course, according to his generation, he is also the queen's concubine.

However, since returning from the expedition, Xue Huaiyi has felt that the empress has alienated him, even for a month. I didn't ask him to sleep, which is hard to justify. Before the expedition, even if I didn't sleep every day, at least once or twice a month. But now, he has not been called to bed, which is a big problem.

After returning to the White Horse Temple, Xue Huaiyi was depressed, and the doglegs naturally wanted to stammer, pour the wine, and cut the meat, but Xue Huaiyi took a bite and spit it out directly, and spit it out after drinking the wine.

The eldest apprentice, Xue Da, saw that the master was unhappy, so he asked, "Master, what the hell are you doing?" Who upsets you? You sue the apprentices, and the apprentices will beat you up badly! ”

Xue Huaiyi sighed and said, "Before the expedition, the Holy Lord had to recruit me into the palace to serve every three or five places, but now it's been more than a month, but it seems that he forgot me." ”

Suddenly, the doglegs were silent.

Who is Xue Huaiyi, and he is also a shrewd person, and he suddenly saw the abnormality of his apprentices. He grabbed Xue Da's clothes and asked, "Tell me!" What the hell is going on? ”

Xue Dayi was trembling, he didn't expect that the master would have so much strength, and hurriedly said: "Master, spare your life, just say it." ”

The other apprentices laughed and scolded on weekdays, but they were all very afraid of Xue Huaiyi, because Xue Huaiyi was moody, and after being drunk, he beat the eighth child to death. So when he saw Xue Da being arrested, he also hurriedly said good things.

Xue Huaiyi only felt a breath of anger filling his chest and let go of Xue Da, but he still said word by word: "Tell me!" ”

Xue Da slowly recounted what happened.

In fact, as early as a year ago, because the empress was getting old and her body was no longer healthy, she was already a little tired of the vulgar but wild Xue Huaiyi, and the imperial doctor Shen Nanli, who specialized in the treatment of the empress, gradually walked into the empress's bedroom.

The Empress is already seventy, and at this age she is no longer very concerned about sexual affairs, coupled with physical reasons and spiritual needs, a gentle and considerate man has soothed the Empress's tired heart after dealing with a day's government affairs. This is what the empress needs, and this is what the vulgar and wild Xue Huaiyi can't give.

Listening to the words of the eldest apprentice Xue Da, Xue Huaiyi couldn't stop laughing, and scared the apprentices half to death, and then Xue Huaiyi ate a big bowl of meat and drank wine, and when the meat was eaten up, the wine was finished, and then half drunk and half awake, Xue Huaiyi cried!

Since then, Xue Huaiyi has become petty, and he originally went to the palace to visit the empress at least every three days, but he didn't go, and he shaved some hooligans and ruffians every day, causing trouble everywhere, drinking wine and eating meat, and he didn't look like a disciple of Buddhism.

Yushi Zhou Ju really couldn't stand it, so he took Xue Huaiyi's book, saying that Xue Huaiyi gathered thousands of gangsters and monks every day to mess around, and Xue Huaiyi often went in and out of the forbidden palace, in case it was not good for the saint, what conspiracy should be how to deal with it. After the empress saw Zhou Ju's sparseness, she pondered for a long time, and she also knew that this was Xue Huaiyi's petty temperament. But this matter is his own private matter, so he used Zhu Pi to write down the criticism, and Zhou Ju investigated and handled it with the imperial history, and asked Zhou Ju to wait at Zuosu Zhengtai, and Xue Huaiyi would go to trial.

After Zhou Ju got the news, he waited for Xue Huaiyi.

On the second day, Xue Huaiyi rode a tall horse into the right political platform, got off the horse, ignored Zhou Ju, and went directly to the low couch in the middle to lie down, showing his chest and breasts, looking extremely indecent, and not speaking, as if there was no one around.

The imperial historians and scribes were stunned for a moment, there are such arrogant prisoners?

Zhou Ju was furious and said sharply: "Xue Huaiyi, what do you mean?" Do you have no king in your eyes, and no one in your eyes? Do you see no one on my political platform? Then he shouted, "Someone is coming, hang this man for me!" ”

Xue Huaiyi squinted, got up, went out, and then rode away on a high-headed horse. The officials looked at each other, speechless for a while, since Lai Junchen was demoted, this Zuosu Zhengtai really declined.

Zhou Ju had no choice but to inform the empress of the matter, after the empress listened to the report, the empress was also dumbfounded, this person is really vulgar, but thousands of monks are not a thing, so he smiled and said: "This monk is crazy, you don't have to care about him, let him be." However, you can watch the thousands of monks. ”

Zhou Ju received the order, and he also knew in his heart that the empress was still unwilling to kill Xue Huaiyi, so he didn't dare to press the sheath like Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, so he arrested all the more than 2,000 monks and exiled them to the Western Regions. Because now there is a rule that whoever is sentenced to exile will go to the Western Regions to atone for his sins.

At this point, Xue Huaiyi only has a dozen close disciples around him. And the empress also strengthened the guards in the palace in order to prevent Xue Huaiyi. And this also made Xue Huaiyi completely sad, he thought about his contribution to the empress's accession to the throne, thinking about her building the Ming Hall for the empress, building heaven, and sending troops to conquer the Turks several times. But because of a powerless imperial doctor, he abandoned him.

Xue Huaiyi was sad, so he gave up on himself! (To be continued......)
