Night wind hunting.

Luoyang, Ziwei City.

On a high platform next to the square, there is a figure of a man in a black python suit, with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

The embroidered python's robe was blown by the evening breeze, and it was unclear how many claws the python had.

The night is dark and the wind is strong.

Ziwei City is very large. As the ruling center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is firmly fixed on the land in the center of Luoyang by majestic gates like nails, and it rules the ten realms in the world.

Every night, the night wind seemed to have an accelerating effect between the solemn palaces and the narrow vermilion walls in the city. It seemed to be blowing away the patrolling guards, the bowed palace maids, and the officials who entered the palace in the middle of the night.

They were all blown away, making it difficult to reach the lofty saint's palace in the center.

Wei Jisi had long been accustomed to entering the palace at night, and was also accustomed to the dark and strong wind in Ziwei City Square.

He put a warm cloak on the outside of the python robe. This cloak seemed to be given by a saint. It was made from the fur of a rare small animal in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. It only leaves in the half month before the frost in a year.

Hidden underground caves, haunting the wilderness, foraging for food cleverly, even the most skilled hunter can only hunt two a year...

Wei Jisi's imperial tribute cloak requires the skins of thirteen rare beasts.

Wei Jisi still has more than a dozen pieces of precious clothing like this... In the daily lives of Prince Wei and Prince Liang, there are many similar situations like this.

Take it like a baht, throw it away like sand.

Since the empress Wei Zhao ascended the throne and changed the title of Zhou to Zhou, in the past ten years, the resources of the entire dynasty have been like blood in the arteries, flowing hotly to the divine capital. This newly established Wei Zhou

center of power.

Wei Jisi's eyes slowly fell on the square in front of him.

Ziwei City can be roughly divided into two parts: the Imperial City and Ziwei Palace. Ziwei City Square is located between the Imperial City and Ziwei Palace. Every morning, all civil and military officials have to lower their heads and pass by this place in small steps.

Majestic style is synonymous with it, and the more it makes those who pass by feel insignificant, the better.

During the days when Wei Jisi was building the Great Zhou Songde Tianshu in the center of the square, he had a clear understanding of the original intention of the designer of Ziwei City Square.

The majesty of imperial power is to be majestic and majestic, making the mortals below feel insignificant.

Because he would occasionally put himself in the position of the actual owner of this imperial city to think about these issues... Of course, these thoughts cannot be told to others, because currently Ziwei City already has an elderly mistress.

, is also his aunt.

In the center of Ziwei City Square, hundreds of people were gathering, holding torches and lighting up a tall copper pillar in the center.

The copper pillars are like swords, cutting straight through the night. It is unknown how many high-flying birds have hit and died on the pillars since the construction.

The words "Songde Tianshu of the Great Zhou Dynasty" are faintly engraved on the pillar.

This Tianshu in praise of virtue has almost exhausted the "praise of virtue copper" from thousands of prefectures and counties in the world.

Wei Jisi felt that in a sense, this move was as grand as the ancient history books where Yu the Great harvested copper from Kyushu to cast the Nine Tripods after he controlled the floods.

Moreover, this was a national project to unify the dynasty. Logically speaking, the scale was far greater than that of the ancient wilderness period when resources were scarce. However, Dayu cast the Nine Tripods too early and was exaggerated by historians who favored the past over the present.

However, he did not underestimate the legendary Jiuding, because it was too close to the mythical era mentioned in ancient books that was earlier than ancient times. It was like a wisp of afterglow falling from outside the door to the inside. It was

part of the myth.

Wei Jisi once heard an overseas Qi practitioner who offered treasures say that the Nine Cauldrons cast by Dayu later continuously guarded the fortunes of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. At that time, the world was unified and people's hearts were stable.

Later, in the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, there was a turmoil when the princes went to Chu.

As a result, the mythical Jiuding was lost, and at the same time, the legendary Zhou Shou Tibetan Room that the pre-Qin Qi practitioners longed for and were obsessed with looking for... At this point, the Zhou Dynasty began to decline, followed by princes, ministers, and scholars.

There were still pre-Qin qi practitioners in the Baijia era.

The lost cauldrons reappeared later, in the era when the First Emperor swept across the wilderness and unified Liuhe. Using the [Elixir of Immortality] as the starting point, they turned into deadly and powerful cauldron swords one by one, opening up the world of pre-Qin Qi refiners.

The first great battle...

I don’t know if a few years later, the Songde Tianshu built by the Wei family will be the same as Jiuding, or will stand forever in the square of Ziwei Palace, or will it be as legendary as Jiuding and exist in the long history of history.

Bound with Guozuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years...

In the dark night wind, Wei Jisi turned a string of white jade beads with one hand and tapped the railing with the other, thinking of these things for no reason.

After a while, he recovered his scattered thoughts and glanced at the tall Tianshu, which was densely packed with workers. In the evening breeze, from time to time, "ants" were teetering and almost falling.

Wei Jisi's face was calm and cold, and he turned around.

His eyes fell on the end of the square behind, where there was a spectacular Mingtang, which was named "Wanxiang Shrine" by the saint.

This Luoyang Mingtang is the main hall of Ziwei City, where important court events are held.

It was also the political center and symbol of imperial power in Zhou Wei.

In a few days, the completion ceremony of Tianshu and the Sifang Buddha statues will also be held here. I don’t know how many princes and ministers will come by then, and saints will also be present in person.

Wei Jisi let out a long breath and moved the white jade beads in his hand faster.

During these days, Mr. Wei kept a low profile and was patient just for the smooth completion of this project.

The day it is completed is a day of pride and pride.

Saints like to celebrate success and auspiciousness, and what could be more pleasing to them than the Songde Tianshu and the Buddha statues in all directions?

Not to mention, the Songde Center and the Four Directions Buddha statues are not just face-saving projects.

Rather, it allows the saint to expand a certain power of life and death on a large scale.

Wei Jisi nodded lightly, seemingly satisfied.

"Brother Wang."

From behind, a prince in white, also wearing a python suit, came.

Wei Jisi knew it was his younger brother Wei Sixing even if he didn't look back.

Wei Sixing stood side by side with him, squinted at the center in front of him, and then looked at his face.

Suddenly asked:

"Brother Wang, haven't you taken off this white strip of cloth on your head? It seems like you've been wearing it for a long time."

Wei Sixing said with relief: "Brother Wang, please give me my condolences. The matter has passed. It is useless to hurt your body."

Wei Jisi nodded expressionlessly:

"We'll pick it later."

Wei Sixing sighed.

Wei Jisi suddenly chuckled:

"Don't worry, I will take it off on the grand ceremony the day after tomorrow, because someone will put it on for me, so I don't need to wear it anymore."

Wei Sixing looked a little confused.

Wei Jisi turned around and asked:

"How's it going over there?"

Wei Sixing stood with his hands behind his back and couldn't help but happily preached:

"Da Si Ming came to inspect it in the afternoon. The core part of Tianshu has been completed. The outside will be slightly repaired. It's almost done. The ceremony will be held on time the day after tomorrow.

"In addition, the latest news is that the four Buddha statues have been built. The slowest one is the Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou. It was also completed secretly ten years ago. It is almost slower than our Tianshu, but fortunately it is

Well, their Xunyang Palace has contributed a lot, and Ouyang Lianghan has made a lot of contributions to the Donglin Buddha, especially the latter. People in Xunyang all obey him, even though they are trying to mess with us.

of credit.”

Wei Jisi said calmly: "It's okay, let them continue."

Wei Sixing found that Brother Wang seemed to be particularly talkative recently, so he continued:

"The morning after tomorrow, a smaller celebration ceremony will be held in Jiangzhou. It will be held at the same time as ours at Ziwei City Square, which is a coincidence."

Wei Jisi chuckled lightly.

He suddenly said with emotion: "I really want life to go by faster, why do I still have to wait for one day and two nights?"

Wei Sixing shook his head helplessly.

As if remembering something, he turned around and asked:

"Brother Wang, do you know that the saint is planning to use this grand ceremony to marry our Wei family. He may choose a son of the Wei family in my palace or the palace of Brother Wang. The marriage will be arranged in public at the ceremony. Brother Wang's palace has a suitable person.

My son?"

Wei Jisi turned his head and frowned slightly: "Which family?"

Wei Sixing narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Cui."

Wei Jisi subconsciously asked: "Which Cui?"

"Who else could it be?" Wei Sixing shook his head: "Other than the Cui family in Qinghe, which is the most popular family among the five surnames and seven, there is no other family that a saint can think about."

"Is the saint planning to take action on the wealthy families outside the Pass?"

"I'm not sure whether the wind direction has changed, but these years the saints have been busy cleaning up the wealthy Guanlong clan in Chang'an and have no time to take care of them. Now, taking advantage of Li Zhengyan's rebellion, they have plowed through the Guan area. There has been a lot of calm there. As for the people outside,
