Chapter 676 Find Yuan Tiangang

Half an hour later, the dragon chariot left Luoyang City.

General Yu Shi, the Zhonglang General of the Qianniu Guard, brought five hundred Qianniu Guards to escort Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er to the Hanguang Temple.

Hanguang Temple is the name people call it now.

Decades ago, this place had another name, White Horse Temple.

These two names are exactly what the older and younger generations call them.

Of course, there is actually a substantial difference.

It's just that no one knows the difference.

The monks of Hanguang Temple, who had received Wu Zetian's order in advance, walked out of the Hanguang Temple to welcome the emperor.

Among them was a young monk, who was extremely handsome. He looked more like a woman than a man, but his crotch was bulging.

Seeing that the emperor had not returned yet, the monks began to whisper to each other in groups of three or four.

Soon, the abbot fell to his knees with a thud.

"Shut up, your Majesty is here!"

All the monks immediately fell silent, knelt on the ground, and waited for Wu Zetian to arrive.

Soon, the cavalrymen who were leading the way made a path and the dragon chariot came from the end of the road. General Yu Shi, the captain of the Qianniu Guard, rode his horse and stood in front of the dragon chariot.

"This old monk leads the monks of Hanguang Temple to pay respects to Your Majesty!"

"Get up."

Wu Zetian stepped down from the dragon chariot and glanced at the group of old monks.

Soon, her eyes fell on a young monk behind her.

The monk noticed Wu Zetian's gaze and also raised his head to look at Wu Zetian.

The two people's eyes met in mid-air, without any reservations at all.

This monk was none other than the lewd monk Huaiyi, the only man so lewd as to openly open a class for prostitutes in the temple.

Ever since Wu Zetian sent him to Hanguang Temple, people thought that he was there to live permanently so that Wu Zetian could have some fun while she went to burn incense.

Who would have thought that he would open a class at his residence specifically to teach the kids from wealthy families. As long as they were paid, he would teach them how to please women and how to serve them.

To date, this class has been running for eight years.

Most of these graduates are now in Wu Zetian’s palace, serving Wu Zetian alone.

"His Majesty."

Huaiyi kowtowed to Wu Zetian to show his status.

"Well, I'll come find you later."

Wu Zetian did not shy away from the topic and directly told everyone her upcoming schedule.

Shangguan Wan'er, who followed, lowered her head and pretended not to know Huaiyi.

Huaiyi was an extremely lewd man. He had tried several times to play with the emperor and her at the same time, but she said "I dare not do that" and only then did Wu Zetian step in to resolve the issue.

"Let's go. I'm going to see Yuan Tiangang. Just follow me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Wan'er followed Wu Zetian obediently, letting Yu Shi lead the way, and the two followed.

Hanguang Temple had long been infiltrated by the Internal Guards, and a considerable number of monks inside were actually Internal Guards.

Therefore, the two do not need to worry too much about safety issues.

What's more, Huang Shengyan had already brought people here in advance.

Huang Shengyan, who had already prepared everything, stood at the entrance of the underground palace and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"General Huang Shengyan pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Are all these people smart?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I brought them all up."

"Well, you, Yu Shi and Wan'er stay here and I will go in first."

Wu Zetian took a deep breath and lowered her head to enter the underground palace.

Led by the internal guards, she soon appeared outside a prison.

The white-bearded old man in the prison lowered his head, as if he was taking a nap.

Outside the prison, Wu Zetian knew that Yuan Tiangang was actually pretending to be asleep and simply didn't want to see her.

Yuan Tiangang, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, rolled his eyes impatiently. This dog emperor must have come to him for no good reason, and he didn't want to communicate with him.

Calculating the time, he will be out of trouble in another half a year. By then, he will no longer need to pretend to be nice to Wu Zetian and worry about being beheaded all the time.

"Take him out. I need him to help me observe the celestial phenomena."

Wu Zetian keenly noticed a certain tremor in Yuan Tiangang's body and immediately concluded that he was pretending to sleep.

Since you like pretending to sleep, there's no need for me to be polite.

Just drag him out.

Two guards opened the cell and literally dragged Yuan Tiangang out.

Yuan Tiangang had no choice but to open his eyes, glance at Wu Zetian, and weakly raised his hand to salute.

"Your Majesty, I am Yuan Tiangang. I am here to see you. What do you want?"

"Haven't you guessed what I'm about to do?"

"Alas, I have been imprisoned in the underground palace for so many years, how can I understand the celestial phenomena?"

"Whether you can see it clearly or not, you have to see it. I order you to see it."

Although Yuan Tiangang was unwilling, he was still dragged out of the center of the dungeon by the inner guards, returned to the entrance, walked up countless steps, and finally returned to the outside.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was waiting outside, retreated directly to the corner, closed her eyes, faced the wall, took out two small pieces of paper from her arms, and stuffed them into her ears.

Yu Shi felt overwhelmed, but he still had to protect Wu Zetian, so he lowered his head and pretended to be deaf.

Huang Shengyan was not afraid, nor did he plan to avoid it. After all, the Internal Guards knew more than others. What's more, it was he who was in charge of imprisoning Yuan Tiangang under the Hanguang Temple.

If you really count, Huang Shengyan and Yuan Tiangang are old friends.

Yuan Tiangang had not left the dungeon for a long time and was unable to adapt to the outside world for a while. He squinted his eyes and waited for a long time before slowly opening his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are really making things difficult for me." He smiled bitterly.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zetian asked casually.

"I have been staying underground for so many years. Now you suddenly ask me to come out and observe the sky at night. Isn't this torturing me?"

"Based on what you did back then, I should torture you to death. But you still talk nonsense to me. I can't torture you to death."

When it came to treating Yuan Tiangang, Wu Zetian really didn't have the slightest bit of good temper or a good face.

He immediately pointed to the sky and asked Yuan Tiangang to look at the current celestial phenomena.

In his early years, Yuan Tiangang was the director of the Imperial Observatory of the Tang Dynasty. Observing the celestial phenomena at night was his forte, and now was the time for him to show his expertise.

Yuan Tiangang had no choice but to find an open place to observe the sky.

However, the celestial phenomena tonight were so strange that he could not look away for a moment.

"Do you see anything?"

Wu Zetian asked impatiently.

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and replied calmly:

"I haven't figured it out yet, but it won't be long before I figure it out."

"The weather is chaotic right now. It will take a while to see it in detail."

Wu Zetian didn't realize how powerful it was and didn't intend to urge Yuan Tiangang any further.

Yu Shi looked up at the sky and his brows suddenly frowned.

"How strange! The sky is clearly covered with dark clouds, even the jade plate is obscured. How can we still see the tiny stars?"
