Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Not far from the alley where Wu Zetian lived, there is a temple called Jingye Temple.

After Yang came back from Jingzhou, relying on the little savings she brought with her, she settled in a few houses in Luoyang.

Yang believes in Buddhism, and whenever there are rituals in the temple, or the birthdays of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, he always goes to burn incense and worship.

Today, I sold clothes, exchanged oil and rice, and got a few dozen extra coins, and it was the day of offering incense in Jingye Temple, so I took out a few coins and asked Wu Zetian to burn incense and worship.

With a few pennies, Wu Zetian changed his clothes and went out.

Instead of going directly to Jingye Temple, she took a detour to the place where the notice was posted.

A group of people surrounded the front, some said it was a good thing, and some said that they should marry their daughter quickly.

Wu Zetian watched for a while, lost in thought.

Not far away, a Taoist wearing a bamboo hat saw Wu Zetian.

The Taoist smiled and disappeared into the crowd.

An aunt next to her saw Wu Zetian and said with a smile: "Hua Gu, you are handsome, you must be a draft girl."

The other aunts also recognized Wu Zetian, turned around and said, "Second lady is as beautiful as a flower, so it's definitely possible, but your aunt is reluctant to let you go."

"I heard that there is nothing good in the palace. If you go in, you will be a widow. The emperor is old, so what can you do?"

"If you marry that son-in-law, that's okay. I heard that he is more powerful than the emperor."

"Aren't you talking for nothing, the son-in-law is so young, he must be in better health than the emperor."

"I'm not saying this is amazing, what do you think?"

A group of aunts got sidetracked while talking.

The officer next to him heard the aunt's nonsense, raised his knife and shouted: "Presumptuous, how can you talk nonsense."

Aunts are afraid of official errands, so they scatter like birds and beasts.

Wu Zetian also left and went to Jingye Temple.

When we arrived at the door, there were not many pilgrims, and it seemed a little deserted.

Originally, the Jingye Temple was very popular and had its own property. Later, Su Yu messed it up. The temple fields were taken over by the imperial court, and those monks who were eating for a living were returned to vulgarity.

Some old monks are left here to stick to it.

I bought incense with a few pennies, and bowed to the Bodhisattva three times.

With eyes closed, Wu Zetian prayed secretly: I beg the Bodhisattva to make our family's life better.

This time the emperor drafts a girl, I hope I can be selected.

If I enter the palace and gain power, I will definitely prosper the Buddhist sect.

After kowtowing, Wu Zetian came out of the temple.

After walking a few steps, a voice behind said: "The emperor stays."

Wu Zetian was shocked when he heard it, thinking he heard it wrong.

The emperor stays?

Could it be that the emperor is here?

Looking around, I saw only one Taoist wearing a bamboo hat.

Wu Zetian cursed in her heart: Where did the crazy Taoist come from, talking nonsense.

Wu Zetian turned around and continued walking home, not wanting to pay attention to this crazy Taoist.

"Your Majesty, stay here. The poor have something to say."

The mad Taoist suddenly caught up with Wu Zetian in a few steps and blocked his way.

Wu Zetian was taken aback, and cursed: "Who are you? How dare you rebel!"

Obviously, the emperor called by the madman is Wu Zetian herself.

This is not bad, if it is heard by others, the whole family must be beheaded.

The mad Taoist took off his bamboo hat and saw that he was blind in one eye.

"Poverty Daoist Daoxin, long live my emperor."

This crazy Taoist is called Yuan Daoxin, and he usually travels around without a fixed place.

This person is extremely good at calculating the secrets of heaven, and his Taoism is even higher than that of Yuan Tiangang.

"You madman, you are not blind in one eye, you are completely blind!"

"I'm going to Luoyang to make a report on you, accusing you of treason!"

Wu Zetian scolded.

Yuan Daoxin said with a chuckle, "You are the daughter of a samurai, you should have a destiny. At the age of 67, you will be enthroned as emperor, and your country will be named Dazhou."

Yuan Daoxin was not only not afraid, but came slowly.

After saying this, Wu Zetian suddenly became quiet.

This is Wu Zetian's strength.

If someone else had encountered such a prophecy, they would have been terrified out of their wits.

She was a lonely and helpless woman, but she was extraordinarily calm.

"You think I can be the emperor? Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there has never been a woman who has become the emperor. Are you a lunatic?"

Wu Zetian questioned.

If Yuan Daoxin told Wu Zetian that she could be a queen, she would believe it.

But Yuan Daoxin said that she is the emperor, which is too nonsense.

The highest ideal of a woman is nothing more than motherhood.

Who dares to say that he is an empress?

Yuan Daoxin laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, in the seventh year of Wude, Pindao saw the birth of Ziwei Xing on Kunlun Mountain."

"Since then, I have been looking for it. It was only when I met the emperor today before the announcement that I found out that I have been looking for it wrong all these years."

Ziwei, located in the north and surrounded by all the stars, is the emperor star.

Ziweixing's birth means the birth of an emperor.

Yuan Daoxin saw it in Kunlun Mountain, and then went down the mountain to search for it for many years.

He always thought that this Ziwei star was a man, but he didn't expect it to be a woman.

"How can I believe that you are not talking nonsense?"

Wu Zetian asked suspiciously.

There were many Taoists who deceived the crowd with evil words, and bewitched the courtiers to rebel, and finally the whole family was killed.

Wu Zetian is not a fool.

"The destiny is the destiny, the emperor's destiny is different from others."

"You will enter the palace as the empress, and then become emperor."

"These are destiny, no one can stop."

"This matter is still a bit difficult. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are still on Zhongnan Mountain. I'm afraid they will notice."

"However, I will mess up the secrets for the emperor, so that they can't figure it out."

"The most difficult thing to deal with is Su Yu, the son-in-law of the current dynasty. This person can't even figure out his origin from poverty."

"If I want to deceive him, I have to use some means."

Yuan Daoxin talked to himself and began to calculate.

Wu Zetian sneered and said, "You crazy Taoist, I'm not a fool, how could I believe your words."

Yuan Daoxin laughed and said, "Your Majesty doesn't believe it, it's just that whether the Emperor chooses the king's order or dies in the alley, the poor Taoist thinks that the Emperor makes his own decision."

"Now the Holy Majesty has begun to select beautiful women, and the destiny has begun. Will the Emperor want to catch it, or miss it?"

Wu Zetian is not the kind of person waiting to die.

She has long wanted to enter the palace to fight, if she wins, she will turn over completely, and will no longer need to embroider for a living.

What's more, there is also the prophecy of this madman.

If I really have the king's life, I will rule the world and become the first female emperor in the ages.

"Your Majesty, let's make up our minds, I'm going to be poor."

Member Daoxin drifted away.

Wu Zetian stayed in place for a long time before recovering.

It was like a dream just now, what happened?
Back home, after entering the door, Wu Zetian sat there blankly, lost in thought.

"Second lady, it's time to embroider."

Yang handed the needle and thread to Wu Zetian.

Wu Shun was surprised and said: "Mother, Hua Gu is not going to be evil, is she?"

"Nonsense, the pure land of the Buddhist gate of Jingye Temple, how could it come back against evil spirits?"

Yang reprimanded.

Wu Yi shook Wu Zetian and shouted: "Second Sister, what's the matter?"

Wu Zetian raised his head, looked at Mrs. Yang and said, "Auntie, living without seeking wealth is no different from a dead person. This needlework is not a long-term solution, so don't do it!"

After speaking, Wu Zetian went back to the room.

Wu Shun muttered: "I suddenly went crazy, and I don't want to do needlework anymore."

Yang reprimanded: "Second Lady is in a bad mood, you have to be considerate as the eldest sister."

Wu Shun was very upset, he accidentally pricked his finger, and a grain of blood came out.
