Collection of Huaxia: Halloween Tribute to Ice Sculpture Company

The screens were played in turn, and Wu Zetian smiled: "I am deeply surprised by the equality of future generations. Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jin smiled lightly.

But then, Wu Zetian changed the subject, anger appeared on his face, and he was still indignant about what happened to Cixi.

"The great country of China is ruined in the hands of an old woman. It really makes people feel angry. I really want to kill her."

His demeanor was extraordinary and his tone was cold, as if the atmosphere in the entire hall had turned cold.

Qiqi swallowed her saliva, but she didn't expect Wu Zetian to still be bitter about it, feeling sorry for Cixi, she couldn't help sighing in her heart: "You are so dedicated."

"Your Majesty, after the death of Emperor Taizong, you were forced to go to Ganye Temple and shave your hair to become a nun. Don't you want to relive those years?"

Hearing this, Wu Zetian's eyes were a little dazed.

Scenes of the past echoed in my mind, and finally I gave a wry smile, shook my head slightly and sighed: "If possible, I would also like to see it. The nun who shaved my hair back then, how is it now?"

Zhou Jin smiled lightly.

In the empty hall, a picture appeared out of thin air.

AD 640.

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was suffering from dysentery, suffering from pain, and his physical condition was getting worse day by day, and the deadline was not far away.In the early years, a Taoist priest once told Li Shimin a fortune teller.

"After the third generation of Tang Dynasty, the heroine, King Wu, ruled the world on behalf of her. '

At first, Taizong didn't believe it.

But judging from Wu Zetian's behavior recently, she is an ambitious person.The dying person felt lonely and helpless in his heart, and his suspicions arose, and he remembered the words of the Taoist priest in a trance
He immediately sent someone to call Wu Zetian to the bedside.

At this time, Wu Zetian was young and beautiful, only 26 years old, with light makeup on her face, elegant demeanor, and a refined beauty.

"Cough cough!"

Taizong opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Wu Zetian reluctantly.

"I'm already terminally ill, time is running out, maybe I will die soon. But I can't bear to leave you, you should think about what to do."

Hearing this, Wu Zetian was slightly taken aback.

She is a smart person and immediately understands between the lines.

Taizong wanted to let himself go down to accompany him.

She quickly knelt down on the ground, with a few tears streaming out of her beautiful eyes: "The concubine received the emperor's great favor, and should have repaid the emperor with death. But the emperor's illness is not incurable, and the emperor is dedicated to the people, so naturally It can move the heavens. The ministers and concubines are willing to cut their hair and become nuns, and pray for the emperor in front of the Buddha day and night."

The tone is sincere, without any false meaning.

After Taizong listened, he pondered for a long time.

He also looked at Wu Zetian's beautiful face, such a young woman was not worthy of being buried with him, and he couldn't bear to die.

"In that case, after I die, you can go to Ganye Temple."

Ganye Temple, after more than 1000 years of ups and downs, still has traces to be traced. The ancient houses and steles are still completely preserved in the ruins of Seoul.This ancient temple has witnessed a generation of empresses' most desperate time, and also recorded a woman's mentality process from being soft to being strong...

In the same year, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin died, and Li Zhi took over the throne.

Above the court, many officials wrote letters demanding that Wu Zetian be executed.

Li Zhi rejected all of them and asked Wu Zetian to become a monk in Ganye Temple.During this period, he went to Ganye Temple to visit Wu Zetian many times. After three years, he resolutely took Wu Zetian back to the palace in spite of the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty.

It was nearly October.

The autumn wind is lonely, the fallen leaves are bleak, and the rustling wind of the mountain stream seems to be telling the old things.

A carriage stopped in front of Ganye Temple.

Wu Zetian got out of the car, changed clothes, and knelt down in front of the stone statue of Buddha.The old nun in the temple holds a razor and prepares to shave Wu Zetian.

According to the practice of the ancient palace, after the death of each emperor, the concubines belonging to his harem, and those without children must leave the palace.The processing methods are different, some belong to the common people, some are sent to the temple, and some are buried with the emperor.

The Tang Dynasty adopted the method of sending them to temples as nuns, and the Thanksgiving Temple is a special temple dedicated to accepting the expelled concubines of the Tang Dynasty.

The old nun has long been familiar with the eccentricity, and the shaved concubine's head in her hand is more than the rice she eats.Ganye Temple is like a cold palace, and the people living in it are all neglected women, so they don't pay attention to Wu Zetian.

All women who enter the Ganye Temple will die alone forever.

It's different from her concubine who was submissive and crying when she was ordained.Wu Zetian's face was hard and she didn't shed a single tear, like a person whose heart is dead.

A person with a dead heart will burst out with infinite power.

"Falled and resurrected, the first level will not."

The simple eight characters were slowly spit out from Wu Zetian's mouth.

The old nun's hands trembled, and the razor fell to the ground.

This sentence means that it doesn’t matter if you shave off my hair, as long as my head is still there, it will grow out one day, which means that it will make a comeback in the future.In this case, it is even a hundred times more ruthless than "I will be a hero again in 18 years".

Wu Zetian didn't know the old nun, but the old nun had heard a little about Wu Zetian, especially about her affairs in the palace.Concubines become monks and become nuns, and there are many things that turn around afterwards.The old nun knew that Wu Zetian was determined to be an extraordinary person, so she immediately changed her face.

Only her hair was cut short, not shaved bald, and she was allowed to practice on behalf of her.Not only that, but there are also servants who can be called.

Wu Zetian raised his head and looked at the majestic Buddha statue in the main hall. His eyes were a bit sad. The past events were reprinted one after another. From a weak court lady to a concubine loved by Emperor Taizong, and now a monk as a monastery, she was extremely down and out.

She understood the truth that her own destiny cannot be in the hands of others.

The backing will fall, and only when you become stronger can you stand forever.At this point, Wu Zetian's empress dream began to sprout, laying the foundation for the subsequent proclaiming emperor.

"The younger generation ventures to guess that it is from this time that His Majesty has achieved the Queen's dream."

Zhou Jin said softly.

Wu Zetian was still immersed in the past, and hadn't recovered for a long time.

Sunset afterglow.

The golden light shone through the window into the hall, and the yellow robe on Wu Zetian's body shone with light.

A beautiful young woman, under the brilliance of time, has also turned into a wrinkled, wan old man.What has changed in the same way as the appearance is the heart.

"You are very smart. Since then, I have understood that my destiny needs to be controlled by myself. Women rely on other people and are not as strong as themselves. Facts have proved that I have done it, and I have done it very successfully."

Wu Zetian said.

"Your Majesty, if you dare to ask this junior, don't you ever think about failure?"

Wu Zetian smiled faintly and waved his robe.

"Those who have been involved in major events in ancient times have no fear of failure. Although I am a woman, I am not afraid of life and death. If I succeed, I can dominate the world. Unfortunate failure, this is due to fate, and I have no regrets."
