On the altar, a court lady offered a golden basin.Feng Yuan stretched out her slender hands, washed them in the clear water in the golden basin, prayed to the heavens, and then took out the cast of the golden figure from the brocade box.

Feng Yuan put the model of the golden man on the bronze stand, and several eunuchs carried the smelting furnace with hot gas, and placed it carefully beside Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan took a spoon from an eunuch, scooped out golden water from the furnace, held her breath, and poured it carefully into the entrance of the golden mannequin.

The emperor, the empress dowager, all the empresses in the harem, civil and military officials, and relatives of the emperor were all silent, watching Feng Yuan pouring gold water spoon by spoon.

Finally, Feng Yuan fell down for the last time, and collapsed on the red carpet with relief, and the two maids beside her rushed forward to help Feng Yuan.

The surroundings were still deathly silent, only the large banners fluttered in the wind.Gao Yunyi nervously stared at the hourglass on the side. Under everyone's gaze, he collected himself and shouted: "Licheng! The time has come!"

Several eunuchs hurried forward, peeled off the sand mold, revealing a large piece of bright copper-colored material, and poured it into a large vat filled with clean water to cool down.

Everyone at the scene opened their eyes wide, and did not dare to show their atmosphere, waiting for the final result.I don't know how long it took, Gao Chong said loudly: "The time has come, please Feng Guiren take out the golden man!"

Since Feng Yuan had made sufficient preparations long ago, she already had a bottom line in her heart, and at this moment she peeked at the golden man coming out of the oven, and she was ecstatic in her heart.

Although she was excited at the moment, she quickly calmed down.Feng Yuan took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the big water tank.

She slightly rolled up her water sleeves, and stretched out her slender hands into the tank.When Feng Yuan took out the golden figure from the water tank and held it above his head with both hands, the guards, maids and eunuchs all knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor! Thousand years for the empress dowager! Thousand years for the empress!"

Feng Xi, who was standing down the steps with all the officials, heard the sound of long live like a tsunami, and knew that his sister Feng Yuan had succeeded, and the queen of Wei had been born, and he was even more ecstatic in his heart.

Feng Xi, who was standing at the front of all the officials, knelt down and said, "Minister Feng Xi kowtows to the empress!", all the officials around him woke up like a dream, and they all bowed to Feng Yuan on the altar, shouting for the queen to be a thousand years old!

Amidst the cheers one after another, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and Feng Zhaoyi, surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs, slowly climbed onto the altar.

The eunuchs moved into the dragon and phoenix chairs, the Empress Dowager Bao sat in the middle, and the emperor and Feng Zhaoyi sat on both sides.Empress Dowager Bao said happily, "Gao Aiqing, I see the golden figure cast by Empress Feng shining in the sun in this palace. What is this a sign of?"

Gao Yun knelt down and said: "I report to the Empress Dowager, the golden man cast by Empress Feng is extremely pure in color. This is a good omen for the prosperity of our Great Wei Kingdom!"

The queen mother was overjoyed, and then asked: "Gao Aiqing, according to the ancestral system of this dynasty, the shape of the golden man is cast in the shape of a prince or prince. Do you think this golden man looks like a prince?"

Gao Yun was at a loss for words for a while, bowed down on the ground, not daring to show his breath.Although the golden figure cast by Feng Yuan is of excellent quality, its shape is beyond Gao Yun's expectation.Gao Yun was horrified, when the Empress Dowager sealed the model of the golden man, he was also there to notarize it, he saw that the model cast by the craftsman was actually the image of Prince Tuoba Hong, why is it completely different now?

Seeing Gao Yun knelt on the ground silently, Empress Dowager Bao showed displeasure.Emperor Wen Cheng on the side hurriedly shouted: "Boldly Gao Yun, why don't you answer the Queen Mother's question?"

Gao Yun was so frightened that he trembled all over, and kept kowtowing, blood was pouring out from his head.Seeing this, Emperor Wencheng wondered, "Gao Aiqing, why are you like this? Could it be that the golden man cast by Empress Feng looks like a monster?"

Empress Dowager Bao was also shocked when she heard the words: "Although I love Feng Guiren very much, if the golden man he casts is not correct, he cannot be a queen!"

Gao Yun said: "My minister Gao Yun dare not speak nonsense, and I hope that the emperor and the queen mother will interrogate it in person!"

The queen mother was ready to play, Feng Yuan embraced the golden figure, and under the guidance of the maid, she walked slowly to the queen mother and presented the golden figure to the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager was horrified when she saw Bi Jinren, and said unconsciously, "Your Majesty, why don't you think this Jinren looks like my Chinese figure? Why is that?"

When Emperor Wencheng took over the golden man from the Queen Mother, he was quite horrified when he saw it.He stared at the golden man for a while, and suddenly thought of what Feng Yuan said, and said with joy: "Queen Mother, this golden man is not a golden man, but in the shape of a golden Buddha. Feng Guiren said to me yesterday , she dreamed that the Buddha would bless me Da Wei at night, she never thought it would come true!"

The queen mother was very pleasantly surprised, and Feng Yuan answered one by one when she asked why.The queen mother couldn't help but said: "I, Emperor Taiwu, mistakenly believed in Cui Hao's words, and destroyed the Buddha and monks. After Cui Hao died, Emperor Taiwu also regretted it. Now that the emperor is on the throne, the Buddha blesses me, the Great Wei, and the emperor can The decree is to abolish the edict of destroying Buddha, and people will visit all over the world. If there is an eminent monk named Tanyao in Empress Feng's dream, he should be worshiped as a national teacher. Dharma is for me, Great Wei!"

Emperor Wencheng was overjoyed and said: "The Queen Mother's words are exactly what I want! Gao Yun, you immediately announce the Queen Mother's order to all civil and military officials, order the world, and Daxing Buddhism!"

Feng Yuan knelt down to pay homage to the Queen Mother, the Emperor and Feng Zhaoyi, weeping with joy.The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "Empress Feng, since you are my Empress of Wei, I and Feng Zhaoyi can also be at leisure! From now on, neither the Palace nor Feng Zhaoyi will interfere with the affairs of the harem, and Empress Feng will worry about it! Empress Feng, why don't you get up quickly? Weeping in public, how can you honor the world?"

Feng Yuan was overjoyed, and quickly thanked her.The Empress Dowager gave Feng Yuan a seat and ordered Gao Yun to announce the decree to all civil and military officials.

Gao Yun led the decree, stepped forward in front of the altar, and recited aloud the Empress Dowager's decree of respecting Buddhas and monks.When the officials heard the decree, they all knelt under the altar and shouted long live!

Feng Yuan's hand-cast gold figure becomes the queen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Emperor Wencheng orders people to search for Tan Yao's whereabouts.An order was issued to Tan Yao, saying that the emperor wanted to revitalize Buddhism, and specially appointed Tan Yao as the capital of Zhaoxuan to manage the monks.

After Tan Yao was ordered, Sui collected monks and renovated temples, and his moral reputation became higher and higher.Emperor Wencheng served Tanyao with the gift of a national teacher. After Tanyao worshiped him, he responded to the emperor's request and dug five caves and niches on the north wall of the Wuzhou Mountain Valley. Each cave had a Buddha statue, all six to seventy feet high. It is more than twenty feet high and can accommodate 3000 people. It has exquisite carvings and a Buddhist temple, called Lingyan Temple.

This is the beginning of the Yungang Grottoes in Datong today. Tan Yao also told the emperor to set up the system of Sengyihu, Sengyisu and Fotuhu in Zhouzhen, thinking that it is the capital of the prosperity of Buddhism.Later, he lived in Tongle Temple in the Datong Grottoes. In the third year of Heping, he summoned all the virtues and translated two volumes of the Dajiyi Shenmantra Sutra, one volume of the Jingdu Samadhi Sutra, and four volumes of Fu Fazang's karma.The land of Gaiwei was revived again, the destroyed pagodas and temples were still repaired, and the Buddha statues and scriptures were displayed again. Therefore, Tan Yao has made great contributions in the history of Buddhist development!

In Western Buddhist countries, there is no Avalokitesvara.After it was introduced to China, because there were many believers in women, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in the Buddhism of China in the form of a man and a woman.Tan Yao was grateful for Feng Yuan's kindness to the Buddha, and made people use the image of Empress Feng to create the image of Avalokitesvara and pass it on to the world.
