Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong was breathing heavily.
After nearly a month of conditioning, his physical condition is now much better, and he almost doesn't look like he was sick anymore.
Many times Emperor Xianlong hoped to get guidance from experts so that he could break through the bottleneck and achieve the goal of immortality. But now it seems that it is too difficult to achieve this.
Since you can't ascend, it's good to keep fit.
One more day to live counts as one more day, and one more day to live counts as one more day.
As long as you can get all-round exercise, there is no problem in achieving the goal of strengthening your body.
"Your Majesty, Master Huiyan wishes to see you."
At this moment, the young eunuch spoke very cautiously beside Emperor Xianlong.
"Well, I understand. Let's announce it."
Although Emperor Xianlong currently knows that it is extremely difficult to achieve ascension with his qualifications, he is still quite friendly to Master Huiyan, and the reason is very simple. Master Huiyan can bring him a lot of improvements in practice.
At least it can achieve the effect of strengthening the body.
Emperor Xianlong was an extremely realistic person.
In his opinion, he can get along with anyone who can bring him benefits.
Emperor Xianlong had already opened his eyes at this time and adjusted his state.
Switch from a practitioner to an emperor who is not angry and powerful in the world.
The adjustment of the entire state needs to be very quick and skillful.
Even an error or omission of just one detail is not allowed.
"call"
After exhaling a breath of turbidity, Emperor Xianlong's state had completely changed.
Soon, Master Huiyan entered the Nuan Pavilion and saluted Emperor Xianlong with his hands clasped together.
"The poor monk pays homage to Your Majesty."
"The holy monk has a body, please come and offer a seat to the holy monk."
Emperor Xianlong was quite polite to Master Huiyan.
No matter what Master Huiyan does, Emperor Xianlong will always have an extremely kind attitude.
This is mainly because Master Huiyan once provided a lot of help to Emperor Xianlong in various aspects. Emperor Xianlong's courtesy to him was also a way to express goodwill.
In many cases, people can express kindness in many ways.
But Emperor Xianlong's method was the simplest and most straightforward, without any sloppiness.
Soon the eunuch brought Jin Dun behind Master Huiyan. Master Huiyan lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk is asking for an audience today because he has something important to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh? Holy monk, please speak."
Emperor Xianlong was quite polite to Master Huiyan.
"The poor monk wants to build a pagoda that reaches the sky in Chang'an City."
"Tongtian Pagoda?"
Emperor Xianlong obviously didn't know what to say to Master Huiyan's unfounded thoughts.
"Why would such a good holy monk build a pagoda that reaches the sky in Chang'an City?"
"Your Majesty does not know that evil spirits are rampant near Chang'an City. Building a pagoda can deter evil spirits. It can also sense the will of God, which will help condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and help your Majesty ascend."
When he heard this last sentence, Emperor Xianlong's eyes couldn't help but become sharp.
He had previously longed to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal. Later, after learning that ascension was extremely difficult, Emperor Xianlong had no choice but to give up.
The reason why he chose to give up was because he knew he had no chance. But now Master Huiyan told him that there was still a chance, so could Emperor Xianlong choose not to try?
If he didn't try even though he knew he had the chance, Emperor Xianlong would probably be disgusted to death by himself, right?
In any case, since Master Huiyan mentioned this, Emperor Xianlong felt that he still needed to fight for one or two and give it a try.
Anyway, what if it succeeds?
"Well"
"Let me think about it carefully."
Emperor Xianlong did seem a little confused.
I have to say that Master Huiyan’s proposal is quite tempting.
For Emperor Xianlong, it was not a difficult task to build a pagoda in Chang'an City. It could be said that as long as he issued an imperial edict with a wave of his hand, people from the Ministry of Works would rush to do it for him.
But the difficulty of building a Tongtian pagoda is completely different from that of building an ordinary pagoda.
If you want to build a Tongtian Pagoda, it will consume an incredible amount of resources and manpower.
And how high is it considered to reach the sky? How high should it be built to reach the sky? These are all issues that need to be considered.
As long as one area is not handled well, there will be many problems to come.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong simply stood up and walked around the Nuan Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Usually he is used to doing this when he encounters a problem that is difficult to solve.
Whenever there was a problem that was difficult to deal with, Emperor Xianlong would use this method to calm down, think slowly, and weigh the pros and cons.
You must not be anxious at this time. The more anxious you are, the easier it will be to lose control.
Emperor Xianlong's experience was so rich that he could always find the best solution.
As long as the final solution is not too bad, then it is acceptable.
At least so far, Emperor Xianlong has not encountered any unsolvable problems that confused him.
"Holy Monk, how high does the tower need to be?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it must be at least five times as high as the Holy En Tower."
Master Huiyan answered quite calmly, but when Emperor Xianlong heard this, he still gasped.
"hiss"
Sheng'en Pagoda is also a Buddhist pagoda and is currently the tallest building in Chang'an City.
Therefore, it is actually quite normal for Master Huiyan to compare it with Sheng En Pagoda.
But the problem is that when he opens his mouth, he has to be five times taller. This requirement is very difficult for Emperor Xianlong to achieve.
"Does the holy monk need to build such a high pagoda?"
"Your Majesty, the poor monk just said that the pagoda built is called the Tongtian Pagoda. Its purpose is to communicate with God. In this case, the higher the pagoda is, the better. The poor monk said that at least it should be
This pagoda is five times as high as the Holy Grace Pagoda, which is just the minimum height. It would be best if it could be higher. In other words, the higher the better, and the higher the better."
Master Huiyan spoke very decisively without any hesitation.
It was obvious that he had thought about this passage for a long time.
Emperor Xianlong was in great trouble after hearing this.
If everything goes as Master Huiyan said, he will order the construction of an extremely high pagoda.
So no matter from every aspect, this will have a huge impact.
Because first of all, building such a high pagoda requires recruiting a large number of people to do corvee labor.
This is a big project, so it will definitely not be completed in less than a year and a half. It may even take longer.
Therefore, for Emperor Xianlong, if he really issued a decree, he had to consider the attitude of the people of Chang'an City.
If it arouses excitement among the people, if it arouses the anger of the people, it is no joke.
Although Emperor Xianlong held hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in his hands, he could suppress the unarmed people at any time. But if a nationwide rebellion really broke out, even Emperor Xianlong might not be able to suppress it even if he had three heads and six arms.
