Shendu, Luoyang.

After spring comes, the wind is calm.

After a severe winter oscillation, Luoyang gradually calmed down.

The frontier is silent.

After a war last year, Mochuo also stopped and stopped harassing the frontier. However, for the Great Zhou, the frontier was calm. However, on the grassland, the Turks' conquests did not relax for a moment.

Since the beginning of spring, Mochu has swallowed three large tribes in less than a month, causing the Turkic power to surge.

According to the news from the Seizuo, the Turkic army had exceeded 100,000, and was vaguely dominating the grassland. For this reason, many grassland tribes either beg for naturalization or sent a request for help from the court. However, in the face of this situation, Wu Zetian obviously did not have much solution to deal with it.

The reason is very simple. Li Tang Su's general either retired or was slaughtered.

During the Zhenguan period, the situation of star-studded stars no longer existed after the arrival of the second year of Shengli. Fortunately, Wu Zetian appointed Li Xian as the crown prince, which made the situation in the court gradually stabilize. At the same time, she began to promote some descendants of the generals, such as Xue Ne, Xue Na's brother Xue Chuyu, Jie Wan, a native of Guixiang in Weizhou... and so on.

However, these people alone are far from meeting Wu Zetian's requirements.

So after thinking twice, Wu Zetian decided to open a Wu Ju En Section after the autumn to facilitate the search for talents from the people.

As soon as the will of Enke was released, clouds in all directions moved.

This will be the fourth martial arts ceremony held since the first year of Ziruyi.

The significance of this martial arts is very important. It is obvious that Wu Zetian set up a target for the growing situation of the Turks in the northern part of the Frontier. In other words, once he passed the imperial examination, he would be entrusted as a vocational officer and be valued by the court. This is definitely an opportunity for many ordinary people to jump over the dragon gate, so brave people from all over the country were ready to go.

At the same time, after more than half a year of operation, Li Xian gradually stabilized his position.

Although his subordinates still had no outstanding talents, he also recruited a group of subordinates and formed some strength in the direction.

Especially after the news that Wu Zetian intended to marry Li Xian and the Wu family, Li Xian's reputation also improved. In any case, the court is still Wu Zetian's court. Li Xian's marriage with the Wu family means that his position as crown prince is more stable. The trend of taking over the grand throne in the future has become clearer.

At the end of February, after a light rain, Luoyang City was washed very clean.

It was already late and the night ban had begun.

But a young man galloped along the long street in the night.

"The person in front of you will stop at the horse immediately. Otherwise, you will be killed without any hesitation."

From the other side of the long street, a team of patrol soldiers appeared, blocking the young man's way.

The young man was wearing a gorgeous dress and a faint fragrance on his body. He held the war horse and got off the horse. He took out a gold medal from his waist pocket and smiled and said, "Below is Mu Mingyu, a guest at the Princess's Mansion. Tonight, the princess held a ritual meeting at Dafuxian Temple. She was invited by the princess to go to meditate. There is a pass token as evidence."

When the captain of the patrolman Wuhou heard this, he did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly ordered the patrolman behind him to put away his swords and guns.

Princess?

Although there are many princesses of Li Tang, there is only one person who is called a princess at this time and can hold a Dharma meeting at Dafuxian Temple, that is Wu Zetian's youngest daughter Princess Taiping.

However, he still walked forward and took over the waist card from the young man.

After verifying the authenticity under the fire, he handed the waist card back to Mu Mingyu with both hands.

"During the night ban, it is best for Mr. Mu not to ride on the long street. Otherwise, it will easily cause misunderstandings."

Mu Mingyusheng was extremely handsome, with a warm smile on his face. After hearing the captain's persuasion, he hurriedly said, "Thank you for your reminder. I must have been trying to ride a horse and go quickly. Time is really tight, and I will be violating the ban if I have to. I will be careful."

"Since that's the case, please take care of yourself."

Mu Mingyu thanked her, then turned over and left.

Looking at his back, a patrolman suddenly spat and cursed in a low voice: "I look like a husband, no wonder I dare to break the ban on night walks."

"Shut up!"

The captain was shocked when he heard this.

"You'd better not say anything like this, otherwise it will affect your brother."

"I'm just talking casually..."

"It's not okay to speak casually!" The captain's face was gloomy and said in a low voice: "Who are you with the support of the princess behind him? If you have a good face, you might have been your husband long ago. If you want to blame, you will blame your parents for not leaving enough capital for you. Now, shut your stinky mouth for me, if you talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."

When the patrol soldiers heard this, they immediately closed their lips.

The team snorted coldly and continued patrolling the streets with their men...

This Dafuxian Temple is located in Jidefang, located on the north bank of the Luo River, on the easternmost part of the capital.

The original name of Dafuxian Temple is Taiyuan Temple. It was established by Wu Zetian to commemorate his mother, namely the Princess Yang of Taiyuan. It was originally located in Taoist yard. According to legend, one day Wu Zetian climbed to Yang Palace and saw the outline of Taiyuan Temple from afar. He felt that the Taiyuan Temple was too far from the palace city, and he couldn't help feeling sad. So in the first year of Yonglong, Taiyuan Temple was moved to Jidefang.

Jidefang, originally named Youyifang, was located here by the famous general Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty. There is a garden hall in the yard, Wenluofang is south of the yard, and the Luo River is further south. The feng shui is very good and the scenery is very good. However, after the Yang Su clan entered the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian ordered to occupy Yang Su's yard and build Taiyuan Temple here.

On September 9, the second year of Tianshu, Wu Zetian called the Holy Emperor and posthumously named his father as Emperor Xun Xiaominggao, and his mother as Empress Xun Xiaominggao. Taiyuan Temple was subsequently renamed Dafuxian Temple, with the intention of establishing Dafengxian Temple in Longmen by Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty.

Subsequently, Wu Zetian personally wrote the "Futu Stele of the Dafuxian Temple" and ordered the temple to be repaired.

Today, there are 1,200 rooms in the Dafuxian Temple and a tower-style tower that is as high as 16 meters high, allowing you to see the capital of Shendu.

This sixteen zhang is calculated based on the Tang ruler. If converted to the weights and measures of later generations, it is almost a height of nearly fifty meters.

This is the tallest tower in Shendu and has become a landmark building in Luoyang.

Today, Dafuxian Temple has become a royal temple.

When Mu Mingyu arrived at the temple, he could only hear the sound of Sanskrit singing coming from it, which exuded an inexplicable solemn atmosphere.

He tied the horse, walked to the mountain gate, and knocked on the door.

Soon, the mountain gate opened.

After Mu Mingyu handed the waist card in his hand in, he flashed into the temple.

"Where is the princess?"

"Tonight, Master Fazang and Master Ah Yezhenna preached, and the princess was visiting the Buddha at Tongtian Pagoda."

Ah Ye Zhenna is a Kshatriya tribe from the Mira Kingdom. He became a monk since childhood. After receiving the precepts, he specialized in law and was good at mantras. After living for two years, he came to Luoyang, presided over the Tiangong Temple, and translated seven and nine volumes of the Dharani Sutra, and was famous.

In the first year of Tiance, that is, in 695 AD, Ah Ye Zhenna was ordered to publish the catalogue of the scriptures, which was favored by Wu Zetian.

When Mu Mingyu heard that you were really saying, he immediately showed respect.
