The next day, it was dawn.
Golden Crow is rising at the beginning, purple qi is coming from the east.
Imperial City Ouchi, which should have been quiet and solemn, was now filled with people and noisy cars and horses.
In a hall somewhere.
Dozens of old academics with white beards and hair were all sitting upright, holding large pens in their hands, not daring to take a breath.
What was spread in front of them was the most precious Chengxin Hall Paper in the palace.
And above the main hall.
The young emperor paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his eyes as wide as bells, staring at the pen tips of the people below.
"Listen to me!"
"Every word and every stroke must be copied clearly and clearly for me!"
"If I copied a word wrong or defaced it in the slightest, you are the only one I can ask!"
There was cold sweat on the foreheads of all the scholars, and their wrists were trembling.
If it is an ordinary letter, just copy it.
But now the original manuscript as a model was placed in front of them...
The handwriting is just sloppy, and the ink is blurred in some places, making it difficult to read.
However, His Majesty regarded it as a treasure and had it framed and hung high up so that it could only be viewed from a distance.
An old Hanlin squinted his eyes and stared at an ink spot on the manuscript, hesitating for a long time.
Finally, he had the courage to ask, "His Majesty... This place looks like the word "kill" and the word "eliminate". What is it..."
When the emperor heard this, he rushed forward in a few steps.
He raised his head and looked at the manuscript carefully for a long time.
Then he turned his head with an inscrutable look on his face. "Imagination, do you understand artistic conception?!"
"Let me understand them all according to their artistic conception!"
"Yes yes yes..."
None of the officials dared to refute, so they had no choice but to obey and work hard.
Been busy for most of the day.
Until the sun is high.
Hundreds of transcripts with neat handwriting and fragrant ink were neatly stacked on the desk.
The emperor picked up a book and read it twice.
Seeing that the handwriting was correct and there were no mistakes or omissions, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, everyone, please step aside."
"Pass on my decree to send these Dharma doors to the Demon Suppression General Bureau immediately!"
"Yes!"
The old eunuch beside him bowed to accept the order, held the transcripts in his hands, and quickly retreated.
At the same time.
Imperial City Before the secret palace.
Lu Changfeng is directing a group of strong men to carry the nine Golden Body into the car.
"Be careful!"
Lu Changfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted loudly, "Don't bump into each other!"
Nine specially-made carriages have been waiting in front of the palace for a long time.
Each cart was padded with animal skins and covered with brocade.
It can be described as extremely luxurious.
According to previous discussions.
These nine Golden Body will be sent to the nine locations within Capital Circuit.
Just...
Seeing that all eight Golden Bodys have been loaded onto the truck.
Lu Changfeng turned his head and looked at the last remaining statue, and then at the emperor who was standing aside in silence.
"His Majesty?"
Lu Changfeng asked tentatively, "This last Golden Body is going to sit in the main temple of Chang'an. I wonder which one His Majesty prefers?"
The remaining one is the most unpretentious Black-Robed Dharma Image.
In fact, according to common sense.
The more majestic and mysterious the statue of the main deity sitting in the capital should be, the better.
For example, the one surrounded by five dragons, or the one with thunder and fire under its feet.
When placed in a temple, it looks impressive, and people will easily feel awe after seeing it.
But right now...
"His Majesty If you feel something is wrong, I will ask someone to recover it and replace it with another one..."
"No need."
The emperor waved his hand and interrupted him.
He walked slowly to the Black-Robed Golden Body.
The sun was rising at this time.
Golden Body shines brightly in the sun. Although there are no dragons and phoenixes accompanying it, there are no weapons at hand.
But those eyebrows, that expression.
But it is the most expressive among the nine.
Especially those slightly lowered eyes.
It seems indifferent, but there seems to be a calmness that makes people feel reassured.
The emperor stretched out his hand and gently stroked Golden Body's cold sleeves.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a soft smile.
"That's it."
"Ah?"
Lu Changfeng was stunned and said subconsciously, "But His Majesty, compared to the other statues, is this Golden Body a little too... plain?"
After all, he must be worshiped by all people.
Wouldn't this look look majestic enough?
"It's nice to be pure."
The emperor took two steps back and stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes never leaving the Golden Body.
"Those dragons and tigers may look intimidating, but they are still foreign objects."
"Only this one..."
The emperor paused and said softly, "She looks most like her."
Just like the sister who always had a cold face, but stood in front of him time and time again, carrying all the wind and rain for him.
Just stood there quietly.
There is no need for any mythical beast to set it off, nor any divine light blessing.
As long as she's here.
That is enough.
"Come here! Get on the road!"
"Send this Golden Body to Chang'an City!"
"I want to see it take its seat myself!"
With an order.
Nine bronze carriages, escorted by thousands of soldiers, drove out of Imperial City.
The people of Chang'an City have already heard the news and taken action.
There are huge crowds of people on both sides of the street.
Although there were officers and soldiers to maintain order, they could not stop the people's enthusiasm.
"Coming! Coming!"
I don't know who shouted.
The crowd instantly became excited.
Countless people stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks, wanting to see the true face of the god.
Wait until the Black-Robed Golden Body slowly drives by.
The crowd suddenly became quiet for an instant.
Although the divine light that filled the sky yesterday had caused some speculation in the hearts of the people in the city.
But after all, it was far away, and I could only see a rough outline, but never really get a clear picture.
At this moment.
Only then did everyone see it clearly.
Golden Body is not like those ferocious-looking gods and Buddhas in temples. They are so high up that people dare not look directly at them.
Just like the girl who fought against demons alone in the land of two realms and fought against the immortals alone in the sky above Chang'an.
The murderous and violent aura all over his body has faded away.
Only a trace of obsession to protect is left.
Transform into the eternal Golden Body and stay in this world forever.
"My dear... it's true!"
An old man rubbed his dim eyes and pointed at Golden Body, his beard trembling with excitement.
"That's what I'm saying! Who else has such qualifications except His Highness?"
"This is the Lisheng Shrine!"
A young man who looked like a scholar next to him had his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"I have long heard that the imperial court has been recruiting craftsmen to repair temples in various places in the past few days. There are faint rumors that it is going to remodel Golden Body for His Highness Grand Princess, so that he can be loved by all people."
"I thought it was a joke at the time."
"After all, although His Highness has protected Great Tang and Merit immeasurably, the erection of temples and statues of Golden Body have always been matters of conferring gods after death."
"To build a temple for a living person... this is too shocking!"
As soon as the scholar said these words, there was a chorus of agreement from around him.
Indeed.
If this matter had been dealt with in any other period, the imperial censor would have been furious.
But now...
"What's wrong with shocking the world?"
A tall butcher with wide eyes stared at him.
"Without Your Highness, it's unclear whether we would be alive right now. Why would you be standing here talking now?!"
Let alone the Lisheng Temple, even if I were to be enshrined on the ancestral tablet instead of His Highness, I wouldn't have a problem!"
"That's right!"
The people around him nodded.
In this troubled world, whoever can protect them alive is their destiny.
No matter whether you are alive or dead.
As long as it works, then it's a blessing!
