Li Yao has been with Zhang Jingde to lead people to repair the White Horse Temple, and it was not until a year later that the ancient temple White Horse Temple was finally repaired by the two.
On the morning of the completion of this day, Li Yao and Zhang Jingde stood in front of the brand-new White Horse Temple, the two looked up at the achievements of the year, their hearts were full of feelings, a silence, this silence lasted for a while, Zhang Jingde turned his head to look at Li Yao, and said to him: "Lord Xue, this year has really passed very fast! It has passed in a blink of an eye, and now this White Horse Temple is also renovated, presumably if the Queen Mother sees you and me so attentive in the future, she will definitely be very happy." ”
"Lord Zhang, don't beat around the bush, don't worry, this official will definitely report to the Queen Mother and count your merits Lord Zhang. Li Yao sneered and replied to Zhang Jingde indifferently.
"Then the lower official thanked Master Xue first. Zhang Jingde hurriedly thanked Li Yao.
Li Yao just nodded quietly, thinking to himself, as soon as the White Horse Temple was repaired, Zhang Jingde, a bastard, was anxious to invite merit, but he didn't know that he, Li Yao, had already presented all the silver taels and evidence he was greedy for to Wu Zetian this year, at this time, Zhang Jingde didn't think about how to make up for it, but instead invited merit, which really made Li Yao want to laugh very much!
Thinking of this, Li Yao didn't say it, but turned to Zhang Jingde and said, "By the way, Lord Zhang, in this year, the craftsmen have all been assembled?"
In this year, the lower officials have gathered tens of thousands of craftsmen, and everyone is waiting for the adults to quickly repair the White Horse Temple, and then as long as the adults give an order, the construction of the Heavenly Palace can start immediately. Zhang Jingde bowed his head and replied respectfully.
"In terms of the address of the construction of the Heavenly Palace, the Queen Mother said, it was built on the original destroyed Qianyuan Palace, a total of three floors should be built, the bottom floor should be square, and the four sides should be painted with one color, representing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the middle layer should be built on twelve sides to imitate the twelve hours of the day, and the last top floor should be circular, and it is necessary to surround the Nine Dragons sculpture. Before he came a year ago, Wu Zetian gave Zhang Jingde a clear idea of what he had instructed him.
Zhang Jingde nodded again and again when he listened, and roughly understood the construction method of this heavenly palace in his heart.
As for how to build this Heavenly Palace, he didn't dare to make a decision, after all, Li Yao was the chief eunuch sent by Wu Zetian, and it was up to him to decide how to build the Heavenly Palace.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jingde also said to Li Yao: "My lord, will we start construction tomorrow?"
"Well, you go and tell those craftsmen now, let's go to the old site of the Qianyuan Palace tomorrow to gather! Tomorrow we will start building the Heavenly Palace, as for how to build the Heavenly Palace, I have made it clear to you just now, and when the Queen Mother will definitely give you a holy decree, she also said that the construction of the Heavenly Palace will be built, so I don't need to say more here, right?" Li Yao instructed Zhang Jingde while opening his mouth to ask him.
"Don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan understands in his heart. Zhang Jingde hurriedly nodded back.
Li Yao smiled with satisfaction, and no longer talked nonsense with Zhang Jingde, turned around and separated from Zhang Jingde, and went back to the big house he bought in a remote alleyway on Luoyang Chengbei Street, which was bought by Dong Mingzhu and four other women a year ago, and after buying it, Li Yao directly moved with them to this secluded house with a good environment.
And this year, Dong Mingzhu and other four women also bought a house in Luoyang City every once in a while, until now, Li Yao may have more than a dozen houses in his hands, in this regard, Li Yao is very happy, anyway, most of the silver is from Wu Zetian's ICBC, Li Yao also reported this to Wu Zetian, and threw the black pot to Zhang Jingde to carry, so no matter how many houses Dong Mingzhu and the four women buy next, Li Yao is not afraid at all.
Half an hour later, Li Yao finally returned to the big mansion on North Street.
Instructed his subordinates to go to the side to park the car, Li Yao walked into the mansion with his own steps, this mansion named Xue Mansion is Li Yao's first home after coming to Luoyang, and Li Yao, who has lived with Dong Mingzhu and the four of them for a year here, still has some feelings for this place.
With this feeling, Li Yao also walked into the hall in the front yard happily, as soon as he walked in, he suddenly saw Dong Mingzhu sitting in the hall with An Yuyin at this time, both of them were silently drinking tea, Li Yao came in, and the two ignored him.
This made Li Yao stunned, and when he walked in front of the two of them, Li Yao couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you two today?" Usually, when you see me coming in, you immediately greet me with a smile and a smile, but now I am standing in front of you alive, and you have no reaction to me, this is impossible! Is it that the sun is coming out in the west today?"
"You are so scarce, there is an urgent letter of eight hundred miles sent by the queen mother just sent by the messenger on the table, you can take it and see it yourself!" Dong Mingzhu glanced at Li Yao angrily, and after replying to Li Yao's words, she turned her head to look at the envelope on the tea table beside her, reached out and picked it up and handed it to Li Yao.
"The Queen Mother actually sent a letter. Li Yao exclaimed in surprise.
Thinking back to this year, except for him sending a letter to Wu Zetian, he has never seen Wu Zetian take the initiative to send him a letter, which can't help but make Li Yao feel a little surprised, and he just repaired the White Horse Temple today, Wu Zetian suddenly sent a letter so coincidentally, is this a little strange?
The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became, Li Yao reached out and opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and after a closer look, Li Yao actually found that the letter that Wu Zetian gave him mainly meant to urge him to build the Heavenly Palace quickly, saying that he had been in Luoyang for a year, why hadn't he heard any news about the construction of the Heavenly Palace in Luoyang?
Seeing the end, Li Yao was speechless, put the letter away, Li Yao had to smile bitterly and said to Dong Mingzhu: "The Queen Mother really doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks, she sits in Chang'an City every day, I am in Luoyang City, while dealing with Zhang Jingde and these officials, I have to repair the White Horse Temple, and at the same time, I have to gather the craftsmen and people who built the Heavenly Palace, how can I build the Ming Hall so quickly!"
"The Queen Mother doesn't need these excuses from you, it's useless for you to say it, now the top priority is that you have to hurry up and finish the White Horse Temple and build the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible, otherwise, next time the Queen Mother urges me to come over, I guess you won't have any good fruit to eat." Dong Mingzhu persuaded Li Yao.
"The White Horse Temple has just been completed today!" Li Yao spread his hands with a bitter expression.
When he said this, Dong Mingzhu and An Yuyin knew that the repair project of the White Horse Temple was completely completed today, but the two of them were relieved at the same time, and they were anxious for Li Yao for a while, Wu Zetian only gave him three years, and asked him to repair the White Horse Temple in these three years, and build the huge heavenly palace.
But the current situation is that Li Yao spent a whole year just repairing a White Horse Temple, and now there are only two years left to build the Heavenly Palace, and the two are really worried about whether Li Yao can lead the craftsmen to build the huge palace of the Heavenly Palace after two years.
Li Yao saw that the two of them looked so worried, and he immediately opened his mouth and said to the two: "What are your thoughts, I can almost see it, anyway, don't worry about me, stay in the mansion well, go to play if you want to, and don't get tired of being in the mansion every day, so as not to bore you." ”
"It's only been two years, do you think the Heavenly Palace can be built in two years?" An Yuyin, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, suddenly asked.
"I'll try, if I can't build the Heavenly Palace in two years, then I will have to go back to see the Queen Mother. Li Yao gritted his teeth and replied sonorously.
Before he came, he promised Wu Zetian that in three years, the Heavenly Palace would definitely be built, even if there were only two years left, Li Yao would not be afraid, he was confident that as long as he could take tens of thousands of people to build it, it should not be a problem to build the Heavenly Palace within two years.
Moreover, Luoyang City is also full of talents, and when the time comes, he only needs to hand over the Heavenly Palace to them and let them build it, and he will be the overseer on the side, won't that be it? Why bother about this matter?"
Thinking about these things in his heart, Li Yao didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, but changed the topic and asked Dong Mingzhu: "What about Yan Hong and Ling Hong, the two sisters? Why didn't I see them, where did they go?"
"Why, if you haven't seen them for a day, you're still a little reluctant in your heart, right?" Dong Mingzhu asked Li Yao with that sour tone again.
Li Yao was suddenly told by Dong Mingzhu that he wanted to cry without tears, and he couldn't cry or laugh when he stood there.
Fortunately, An Yuyin opened her mouth in time to relieve the siege and said: "Go back to the backyard room and write back to the Queen Mother, do you have something to do with them?"
"Of course, then, you two talk, I'll go to the backyard to find the two of them, and I'll come back to lunch with you later. Li Yao immediately replied to the two of them.
After saying that, he directly turned around and ran out of the hall quickly, walking towards the backyard, and after finding Yan Hong and Ling Hong in the study in the backyard, Li Yao instructed the two to write down the fact that the White Horse Temple had been completed in the Huihan, and by the way, Zhang Jingde deducted the ICBC matter, and after doing this, Li Yao left with a happy face.
Yan Hong and Ling Hong wrote everything Li Yao said into the letter to Wu Zetian, and the year they spent with Li Yao was also the happiest year for Yan Hong and Ling Hong sisters, who had grown up so big, and they had a very good impression of Li Yao in their hearts.
......
In the next two years, Li Yao is still with Zhang Jingde, with tens of thousands of horses to build the mighty Heavenly Palace, Li Yao knows in his heart that in the future, he will take people to build this Heavenly Palace, with the arrival of Wu Zetian, it will also be renamed Mingtang.
And this Ming Hall, which is recorded in the history books of later generations, can be called the pinnacle of Tang Dynasty architectural technology that is a magnificent masterpiece, but no one in later generations knows that it is such a great masterpiece, which is actually from the hands of Li Yao, a modern man who has crossed over from the 21st century.
It's ironic!
