Chapter 210 The Buddha’s Tooth Relic Makes Trouble(1/2)
Gengyin in June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng (28).
The Ministry of Etiquette requested that on the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, the Prime Minister should be ordered to be in charge of the government, and to be sent to the official rank of Zhongsan Dafu or above or the six ministers, supervising ministers, and the clan's current Tuanlian envoy or above to go to the southern suburbs to set up an altar and set up a class to invite the great ministers. Take the posthumous title of emperor.
Edict: Respectfully obey.
The next day on Xinmao (29th), Liang Gong and Zhao Xu were in the Yanhe Hall's back hall to receive an audience from the ministers recommended by Lu Gongzhu.
Immediately after these new officials took office, Liu Zhi, Peng Ruli, and Wang Zhan arrived at the Yushitai.
Lu Dafang, Fan Bailu, Fan Zuyu, and Su Zhe recorded their palace registrations and were issued bronze talismans that allowed them to enter and leave Jiying Palace.
Today, in charge of Gou Qinfeng Road's strategy to appease the company's affairs, Tongzhi Lang Lu Wenqing asked the minister to send some ministers to teach the Fan and Han archers on this road.
When the matter went to the capital hall, Li Qingchen, who also knew the Privy Council, wrote: Please send envoys from the Qin Feng Road Economic and Strategy Department to gather and teach him.
The imperial edicts of the two palaces sent officials to the imperial court, and Quan Tong promoted the Yongxing Army. Hu Zonghui of Qinfeng Road Baojia also served as the promotion point to select archers and teach them in order to correct the old shortcomings of Qinfeng Road Baojia. He especially emphasized that the farming season should not be delayed.
It is no longer possible to illegally assassinate weak archers easily.
June Renchen (30).
The two palaces issued an edict: Chen Yanhe gathered in Yanhe Hall to discuss the reform of the Yuan Dynasty.
After deliberation, they finally came up with the same era name as Zhao Xu's previous life.
The ministers unanimously agreed that the Yuanyou reign was very good.
Taking Yuanfeng's Yuan to show that he has not forgotten his father's legacy, and using Jiayou's blessing to show that the emperor wants to honor the virtues of Daren Temple.
It can be regarded as a harmonious era name.
It is also a compromise choice between the old and new parties.
It's just that in Zhao Xu's previous life, in the end, the old party reconciled and became lonely.
Under the threat of radicals, what rationality, peace, and national planning...
They all kicked into the Mariana Trench!
Zhao Xu's teacher in modern times even lamented: Sima Guang was already the minister with the mildest attitude toward the new party and the new law in the early years of Yuanyou!
The reason is that Sima Guang was at least willing to listen to the suggestions of Lu Gongzhu, Han Wei, Zhang Fangping, Fan Chunren, Peng Ruli and others.
Moreover, he was willing to honor Wang Anshi after his death.
Therefore, Sima Guang at least had a good intention and really cared about the country (at least this is what Sima Guang himself felt).
The radicals who followed Sima Guang and Lu Gong only wanted to vent the anger they suffered during the Xining and Yuanfeng eras.
It started with the humiliation of Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun, and ended with the death of Cai Zhen.
The radicals finally provoked the largest and most intense party struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty.
On the same day, the director of the Huanqing Road Economic Bureau said: Xixia sent envoy Chen Wei, Wei Mingmo Duo, deputy envoy Lu Ze, Chen Yujin and others to enter the country from Huanqing Road.
Counting the time, we should be arriving at Yongxing Army now.
It was also on this day that Quan promoted Xiang Zong, the finance department of Lanhui Road in Xihe River, to write to Xiang Zong: I respectfully follow the imperial edict and have arrived in Xizhou to take up my duties. I have also sent people to inspect the mountains and rivers of Xizhou. I respectfully regard you as the emperor. According to His Majesty's decree, Mobang Mountain in Xizhou has been selected as the holy temple for the enshrinement of Buddha's bones and relics. Please direct it. When the holy temple is completed in the coming year, please send a great master to preside over it.
Xiang Zonghui and others in the two palaces must carefully protect the Buddha Tooth Relic and avoid any mistakes.
At the same time, he ordered the translation office to select eminent monks and give them purple robes to go to Xihe.
After the two palaces replied to Xiang Zonghui's letter, they also asked people to give Xiang Zonghui, Gao Gong Jihu fur, Jibei cloth, etc. to protect them from the cold. They were afraid that the sand and cold wind of the Xihe River would blow and freeze the Gao family. , these two treasures of the Xiang family.
Little did he know that at this moment, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji were very happy in Xizhou!
A brother of the Empress Dowager, a nephew of the Empress Dowager, arrived in Xizhou, and there were local powerful Han people, leaders of Tibetan and Qiang tribes.
They all held them high.
Give away land, give away people, give away girls.
Almost everything you ask for is answered!
Especially when the various tribes, including the local Han powerful, knew that the two emperors were relatives and brought the Buddha's tooth relic as a gift from the emperor.
My eyes are about to pop out.
Every day, an endless stream of tribal leaders and powerful men from all over the world come to Xizhou City to worship the Buddha Tooth Relic.
Even the Tibetan tribes in the Qing and Tang Dynasties, those tribes close to the Xihe road defense, sent people or even their own tribesmen to come to Xizhou to worship the Buddha's Tooth Relic.
Everyone was respectful and cautious.
When he saw the Buddha's tooth relic, he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and kept chanting some Tibetan language that Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji could not understand.
After returning, he immediately told the tribesmen and slaves below him that he had paid homage to the Buddha's Tooth Relic and saw how sacred the relic was and how it was surrounded by Buddha's light. He vaguely saw it and even heard the sound of the Buddha chanting sutras——
This is naturally how these people package themselves and what they need to rule!
So, when I received the letter from Xiang Zong in Bianjing City.
On Mobang Mountain south of Xizhou, the construction of a temple to enshrine Buddha bones and relics has already begun.
The local powerful, Tibetan and Qiang tribes all sent a large number of strong men to assist in this grand event.
Even some tribes from Tubo in the Qing and Tang dynasties sent people hundreds of miles away to deliver the beams needed to build temples.
They also asked for permission to allow them to come and worship at all four seasons after the temple is completed!
As a result, even Ali Gu, who was far away in Qingtang City, heard about this matter.
Although he was Dong Xiang's adopted son, Ali Gu was actually only less than ten years younger than Dong Xiang.
Therefore, he is already nearly fifty this year.
At this moment, Ali Gu looked at the golden seal of governor given to him by his uncle from the Han family in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
"Zanpu..." The Tubo general of the Qing Tang Dynasty, who also personally commanded the army when Dong Xiang died, suppressed Ali Gu and subdued the leaders of the Qing Tang Dynasty. Qing Yijie Guizhang stood up and came to Ali Gu.
, said: "The people of Song Dynasty have the Buddha's tooth relic, and all the leaders are making a commotion..."
"Recently, many people have ignored the Zanpu decree and went to Xizhou in Han Dynasty to worship the Buddha's Tooth Relic..."
"This wind must not rise!"
A Buddha tooth relic may be just a treasure to the Han emperor in the Central Plains.
But for various tribes in the Qing and Tang dynasties, the place where the relics of Buddha Sakyamuni are located is almost the place where the Buddha is.
Going on a pilgrimage is a no-brainer!
It should be noted that even in the past, only the great Trisong Detsen Tsenpu had a few Buddha bone relics when he ruled the entire snow mountain plateau.
Unfortunately, with the death of the great Zanpu, Tubo fell into civil strife, and these Buddha bone relics have disappeared.
As for Qing Tang and Tubo?
Naturally, there are no such holy objects.
In the past, if it doesn’t exist, it doesn’t exist anymore!
But now, the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains has sent an extremely precious Buddha tooth relic to Xizhou.
A magnificent temple must be built to enshrine this relic.
Both the Ali Bone and the Qingyi Jie Guizhang have realized that the relic will be like a magnet, attracting the entire Qing, Tang, and Six Tribes of Tubo.
Even Ali Gu had the idea of going there to worship at some point!
"What should be the plan now?" Ali Gu asked Qingyi Jie Guizhang.
"In my opinion, it is better to unite with the Xia Kingdom and send troops to ask for the Buddha Tooth Relic from the Song people!"
"If Zanpu can respectfully welcome the Buddha's tooth relic into the country, the leaders of all tribes will definitely worship and praise..."
Ali Gu listened, looking hesitant.
He is just the adopted son of Dong Fei, and all the ministries know very well that he does not have Zanpu blood!
This is his natural disadvantage!
In the eyes of the Tibetan tribes who were afraid of nobles, his Zanpu was neither legal nor authentic.
Even though Ali Gu had already killed all his adoptive father’s descendants!
However, there is still Zanpu bloodline in Xizhou.
Brother Mu Zheng is the son of Xian Zan Pu Jiao Si Luo!
Although they surrendered to the Song Dynasty and changed their surnames, in the eyes of the Tubo people, Zanpu was just Zanpu!
Sacred and inviolable!
If in the future, the Song Dynasty would send a large army to send Muzheng back to his country, and even give Muzheng a relic of the Buddha.
Ali Gu knew that all the tribes would betray him and turn to Mu Zheng!
This is absolutely unacceptable!
However, the people of Song Dynasty were too good at fighting!
Ali Gu was a little scared.
