Chapter 323: Wonder Reigns Emperor

"Hey, it's the first time I've seen Taicang like this."

Zhang Fei was not very interested in this Tianshu, but he was very interested in the materials used to pour this Tianshu:

"A million catties of red gold! This old lady doesn't worry about money. ”

Liu Bei agreed with the words of the third brother for the first time, and suddenly remembered the twelve golden men of the first emperor in his heart.

Legend has it that after the world was settled, there were 12 gold people who collected the world's soldiers and cast 12 thousand stones, and they were in the palace of the Qin Emperor.

But there are different opinions about which of this legend is true or false, and where the Jin people went in the end, and Liu Bei has always regarded it as a story.

And now looking at the introduction of the light curtain, looking at its meaning, regardless of whether the twelve golden people of the pre-Qin Dynasty are true or false, at least this Tang Tianshu Pillar is indeed real.

This made Liu Bei extremely envious.

At the beginning, when he was in Jingnan, he was called poor and white, and it was not until later that with the spread of sugar and papermaking Shu brocade, life got better step by step.

But now behind the high-spirited shouting of "return the three Qins" is Kong Ming's ruthless inform:

With today's treasury, it is used in Yongliang Pass, and all kinds of big plans are tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

Liu Bei also thought that the Zhenguan period in the early Tang Dynasty was already quite generous, but he didn't expect that compared with the descendants of the "Second Phoenix Majesty", the wealth was only a drop in the bucket.

"Collect tens of billions of wealth and endow the people with gold and copper to make up for ......"

Liu Bei shook his head, but he figured out in his heart, it turns out that being a big brother still has this benefit! Learned!

Ma Chao's expression was clear to the lord, thinking about himself as a newcomer, and then thinking about the lord's generous promise and the ending that had been faintly revealed before, his blood rushed to his head in an instant:

"Why should the lord covet? Qianghu also has copper and iron! If it is insufficient, I am willing to lead the athletes to Hexi! ”

What is coveted! And he was planning to let Ma Chao lead Qiang Hu back to Xia, how could he levy his copper and iron? So Liu Bei immediately reprimanded:

"How is Zaqiang not a Han'er? And gold and iron can't be eaten or drunk, so what's the use? ”

"Meng Qixiu wants to reply to this, if I hear it again, I will not forgive it!"

Ma Chao immediately accused.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said gently:

"However, Meng Qi's sincere heart is commendable, and when he rises in Tongguan, he will send you to be the vanguard of the three armies."

So Ma Chao turned his fear into joy.

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Fei was a little surprised, and immediately stood up and said:

"Big brother, I want to be a pioneer together."

Facing this third brother who was still speechless just now, Liu Bei waved his hand:

"This is not allowed."

A few days ago, Kong Ming said in his own mouth that Yide Mengqi and the two of them are both thick and fine, but if the two of them go out together, only the coarse remains.

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Bei also felt that it made sense, so he refused without hesitation at this time.

Zhang Fei sat down angrily, only to feel that his brother made a move unreasonably:

Later generations have said that a stick will be given to a sweet date.

Isn't my old Zhang much more beaten than this Ma Mengqi?

Why is only Ma Mengqi eating dates at this time?

Kong Ming knocked on the table funny, attracting Zhang Fei's attention and said:

"If you go out of Tongguan, why not go all the way?"

Zhang Fei turned happy at this time: It's still a military advisor.

Lu Su, who was beside Kong Ming, had already listened to Pang Tong's brief explanation, and at this time, combined with the map that was hanging behind him to understand, he gave his own judgment while being shocked and amazed:

"If the Western Regions wants long-term peace and stability, it must be a military town."

"The slack of the order of the dynasty damages the majesty of the Son of Heaven and harms the heart of the Western Regions to the Han Dynasty."

Seeing that Pang Tong nodded in agreement, Lu Su pretended to ask inadvertently and whispered:

"When are you going to cut Cao?"

Pang Tongding glanced at Lu Su, and then said with a smile:

"Zijing also wants to seek the cause of the Central Plains for General Zuo?"

Lu Su was speechless, and finally could only shake his head slightly stunned.

Pang Tong smiled and said nothing, at this time he and Lu Su briefly described the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and when he turned around, let him see the so-called white-clothed crossing the river, the eight hundred tigers of Zhang Liao, and the cunning repeatedly received the king's name......

Pang Tong had confidence in Lu Su, but at this time he still did not forget to add:

"The matter of cutting Cao, at the latest, will not leave tomorrow at the latest."

This sentence made Lu Su's heart itch even more.

[Now that we go back to history, we often talk about what the meaning of some things is.

For example, the Vientiane Shrine built by Wu Zetian is a wooden building built in strict accordance with the Confucian etiquette system, which is the largest in the world's history from ancient times to the present, and has cultural evidence and architectural significance.

What is the role of Tianshu? This thing has neither a real "center of the world", nor a real prestige.

The only effect is probably that when Li Longji takes over this shattered empire, he can melt this pillar as the first start-up capital to recreate the prosperous world.

Here I can talk about Mingtang by the way.

Ming Hall is the name of the attributes, that is, "the hall of Ming politics and religion", there was a plan to build it when the Sui Dynasty was founded at the earliest, but in the end it was not completed because of the fixed capital Daxing (Chang'an).

When Li Zhiga was gone, the old lady had the power to take over the monopoly, and Mingtang's plan was really restarted, and it moved quite quickly. Five years after Li Zhi's death, it was officially completed, called "Vientiane Divine Palace", and after the establishment of Wu Zhou, he stayed here every day to watch "The Great Music of the Divine Palace".

A big bronze pillar like Tianshu can only please the old lady for a while, and when she waits for the next year, she feels that it doesn't seem interesting to look at this thing every day, and this time she doesn't need the Wu family to come forward, and the old lady herself can have enough food and clothing.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, the old lady happily added honorific titles to herself:

The ancient Golden Wheel Holy Spirit Emperor of the Ci clan piggybacked on amnesty to the world.

Then the old lady herself went on the field to make auspiciousness.

First of all, a Dharma conference was held behind closed doors in the Vientiane Shrine, and the attendants were secretly ordered to bring in a cow and kill it, and a 60-meter-long Buddha statue was drawn on the ground with the blood of the cow.

Then he ordered the guards to dig out the Buddha statue buried here in advance from the ground, and then issued an edict to the world again:

I listened to Buddhism and was too fascinated, and unconsciously stabbed my good friend Xue Huaiyi took blood and painted a Buddha statue, but I didn't expect the blood Buddha statue to move the heavens, and a Buddha statue poured out of the ground, do you say it's magical?

Of course, no one believes this, but it doesn't matter.

It's just that one of the bad points of this Dharma conference is that the old lady found that there was a chief physician named Shen Nan who was very punctual, and whether the doctor Shen wanted to or not, he was summoned every day to study medical science.

Xue Huaiyi, who fell out of favor, was very angry: I worked hard to find money for you to create heaven, old lady, if you are not kind, you will blame me for being unjust, watch me burn heaven!

After the completion of the Vientiane Shrine, Wu Zetian thought about "the wonder of the emperor", first built a huge Buddha statue in the north of the Ming Hall, and then built a heaven outside with this unprecedentedly large Buddha statue as the skeleton, as the place where Wu Zetian himself comprehended Buddhism, and it is also the tallest wooden building in the history of the world.

The cost of this can only be said to be massive, and it is therefore necessary to scrape money from Siyi on the one hand and collect bronze artifacts from the people on the other hand, because the treasury is really empty and can run horses.

Xue Huaiyi was also very reckless with Wu Zetian's former favor, and he just did it and burned it directly, but it was not unfortunate that there was a strong wind that day, and the fire quickly spread to the old lady who burned in Mingtang.

Xue Huaiyi was frightened and went to ask for guilt, and then to his delight, the emperor really favored him, not only comforted him with a pleasant face, but also handed over the task of restoring the second hall to Xue Huaiyi.

But in fact, the old lady was so angry that she just planned to squeeze out the last trace of use value for Xue Huaiyi, after all, now that the treasury is empty, she really needs a traitor like Xue Huaiyi to collect money.

In fact, it was true that after the funds for the restoration of the Heavenly Ming Hall were almost raised, the old lady simply summoned Xue Huaiyi into the palace and ordered the guards to beat him to death.

In addition, the old lady gave an additional order, saying that she was too old to see blood.

The person who did it asked what to do.

The old lady smiled: Burn her corpse, and the town is at the bottom of the tower of the White Horse Temple.

After doing this, Wu Zetian modified his title in order to be unlucky:

The Golden Wheel Great Sage Emperor, and changed the name of the year "Long Live the Book of Heaven", and once again granted amnesty to the world.

At the end of the year, in order to forget about the bad luck, Wu Zetian led the guard of honor to travel and drove Songshan, the purpose was very simple: to seal Zen!

This is also the only emperor in history who has been enshrined twice, and it is also the only time that Songshan has been used as a place to enshrine Zen.

Now that the Zen has been sealed, under the eagerness of the criminals, Wu Zetian unexpectedly granted amnesty to the world again, and in order to commemorate this incident, he changed the year name: Long live Dengfeng.

Three months later, the rebuilt Ming Hall was officially completed, and the old lady disliked the unlucky name of Vientiane Shrine and changed its name to "Tongtian Palace".

In order to commemorate this event, Wu Zetian changed the year name again: Long live Tongtian. And once again amnesty to the world.

Within half a year, the name of the year is three changes, and the amnesty is three lines, this is Wu Zetian's Tongtian Empire. 】

Even if you have already taken the bitter pill.

Even if you are mentally prepared.

Even with the eldest grandson queen by her side.

But Li Shimin's beard trembled angrily, and he reprimanded angrily:

"Ridiculous!"

"With such an amnesty, how can the prison be empty and the people can be safed?"

"The criminals are small, and they run rampant in the countryside without being roped, how can they be called the country?"

Empress Changsun smiled bitterly, she could also imagine that the people in the township had nothing to rely on, and the only one who could rely on it was the law.

But if the thief who bullied the people's households did not stop causing trouble and was amnestied three times in a row, how would he feel?

She remembered that her husband had previously told her about what Li Shimin said when he issued the amnesty decree in later generations:

"The Son of Heaven's amnesty wants to show his heavenly grace, but this pardon is no different from a natural disaster to the head of the countryside."

"The head of the Qianqian does not know the grace of heaven, but he only knows that those who kill their relatives do not have to be guilty, and the law is empty."

"The sinner knows that there is heaven's grace, but if the punishment does not fall, he will have no fear, and the Son of Heaven will act for the tiger."

There is this contrast, and this empress is only a generation away from Zhenguan at this time, so it is no wonder that her husband behaves like this.

"Why should everyone be angry, this woman can still be taught, this law can still be changed, and future troubles can be prevented."

After some comfort, Li Shimin slowly put away his anger and sat down, and then stared at the scene of the Heavenly Hall that was marked as the "Special Effect Restoration Map" released on the light curtain, and shook his head and sighed:

"Without the deterrence of soldiers, there is no appearance."

Du Ruhui also sighed:

"The wealth of the left treasury is used here and then scraped to the people, where is the border military out?"

"And Your Majesty has a hundred merits in the war, and there is only one West Pole Monument."

"This woman only won a battle, and she boasted all over the world, how can the soldiers fight to the death?"

Du Ruhui's words caused others to nod frequently, everyone came from the end of the Sui Dynasty, and after more than 100 battles, even Rufang Du and others occasionally had to fight with His Majesty.

According to the history of later generations, in just 20 years, everyone worked together to create the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and the history of the merit is not boastful.

This Empress Wu Zhou, did she destroy the Tibetans or completely wipe out the Western Turks?

For a moment, everyone in the hall couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

"And God...... The female work is like this, no wonder the Buddha can cause trouble after that. ”

Fang Xuanling muttered.

Hearing this, he also probably understood, what did this empress do...

It is equivalent to His Majesty suddenly going crazy and setting up a stage in the Taiji Palace, asking You Ling to do a play, and then dragging a cow to take blood for a portrait of Lao Tzu, saying that it is a miracle painted by the concubine donating blood. Why don't you change the name of the year and amnesty the world?

Just thinking about Fang Xuanling for a little bit made her feel tired, and in the end she could only sigh silently:

Our old house has caught up with a good era...... Oh yes, don't forget to avoid kissing Your Majesty.

Sun Simiao, who was next to Li Shimin, shook his head in disdain, after all, now he also knew that this Buddha was the same as those rebellious Taoist priests, they were all miraculous, could not cure diseases and calm the people, and were useless.

Yan Lide, who was next to Sun Simiao, had a bright light in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to start copying, but he soon noticed the first difficulty of copying, and it was difficult to be accurate in painting.

Otherwise...... In the same way that my brother described?

According to what his younger brother said, under the supervision of Imperial Physician Sun, he painted not only the internal organs but also the bones of the corpse, and finally encountered difficulties when Imperial Physician Sun wanted to detect the state of blood and body circulation, so he gave Yan Liben the time to summarize and depict.

In the end, the core of it is a sentence: first draw the bones, then paint the skin, and you can get its god.

For Yan Liben, who is proficient in architecture, this problem is also easy to hear: the rafter beam is the bone of the temple platform.

Although it is difficult to paint the rafters in front of these two peerless halls, it is easy to copy a lot of stiffness.

While drawing, Yan Lide couldn't help but glance at his younger brother:

Painting a skill, really better than brothers!

……

"Wonder Emperor?"

Kong Ming was dumbfounded, and then pondered it carefully, but felt that there was still some truth.

is like the "Xiping Stone Scripture" that haunted Kong Ming's dreams.

Guanghe six years of Emperor Ling Cai Yong's proposal, the school Confucian classics, the seven scriptures into 46 tablets, tree outside the Taixue.

At that time, the world was shaken, and the students of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were unwilling to go to Luoyang to transcribe at a glance, and because it was corrected by Taixue Confucianism, there was no mistake in changing the word, and the people of the time also called it "a word stone scripture".

Now that the light curtain has been seen for a long time, Kong Ming has also learned to jump out of the shackles to see things, it is conceivable that if there is no troubled times, this stone scripture is enough to push the Han Dynasty to a new peak, which can be called a wonder, but ......

I don't know the forty-six steles in Luoyang, and now there is a geometry?

So Kong Ming also took notes and wrote down his thoughts:

The rule of civil and military affairs is the mainstay, the wonders are supplemented by merit, and the prestige of the four seas can be illuminated through the ages.

It's just that in Kong Ming's opinion, this spectacle is naturally not the Heavenly Hall of the Empress of Wu Zhou.

Qin made the capital of Jiangyan, blessed for thousands of years.

Han hangs on his head and deters the four yi.

Champion Hou Changqi, brilliant in Han history.

Yan Ran's fame will be hung by future generations.

It can be called a wonder of the country.

It is really uncomfortable to be diagnosed with viral influenza A, so take care of your body and don't fall ill.

Today's state is repeated, my throat is slightly better, my nasal congestion is serious, and my body temperature is 38 in the afternoon, so there are only these 4K words, I will rest early, I hope tomorrow will be better.

In addition, Wu Zetian's controversy has been seen, mainly because of the perspective, and there is a big difference between the merits and demerits of the empress Wu Zetian and the historical figure Wu Zetian.
