This birthday banquet specially held by Zhang Zhao lasted for seven days. During these seven days, people continued to send congratulatory gifts.

Among these gifts, the most eye-catching ones did not come from any temple, nor from the major families in Liangzhou.

Instead, they came from the newly renovated Liangzhou City and Liangzhou Wubao, as well as the two counties of Guzang Shenniao.

They were holding either a chicken, a fox and rabbit they had hunted, or dried meat. The richer ones might have a sheep.

Due to the gap between the rich and the humble in this era, the young men did not dare to come to celebrate Zhang Zhao's birthday. They just silently placed their gifts in the alley outside the Jiedu Yamen's mansion.

Even at the beginning, no one noticed where the gifts piled up here came from? What is it for?

It wasn't until one day that Guo Tiance and others found someone prostrating here that they realized that this was a gift from young men who had received Zhang Zhao's favor.

For these Ding Zhuang and his family, the task of repairing the cities inside and outside Liangzhou left a deep impression on them.

Because no one died from overwork as usual, and no one received too much unfair treatment. Overall, Zhang Zhao still maintained relative fairness.

The delicious stewed mutton and the sweet white flour steamed cakes have even become many people's best memories and bragging rights to their neighbors. The reputation of Dharma King Bodhisattva for his kindness spread throughout Hexi.

So much so that when Zhang Zhao held a birthday banquet, these simple-minded people at the bottom still wanted to use their own way to repay this rare Dharma King Bodhisattva.

Part of this is because Zhang Zhao actually paid real money to win over them, making them feel fair and just and valued, but part of it is also because of the title of Dharma King Bodhisattva Zhang Zhao.

Contrary to what many people think, Buddhism in China’s history was not just a matter of enclosure.

Historically, even at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Buddhism was still an important tool for the Song Dynasty to win over frontier leaders and even expand territory. Great monks were not uncommon among the Song armies in the northwest and southwest.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was almost in its last years, but it could still bring Xixia to that stage. Buddhism actually played a big role in this.

Even for the current people of the six tribes of Ammo, Buddhists and monks are the only existence in their daily lives, second only to the chiefs.

. . . . .

The north gate of Liangzhou is Xuanwumen, and the gate tower of Xuanwumen is the highest place in Liangzhou. Standing on the second floor of this city gate tower, you can just overlook most of Liangzhou City.

Today, the leaders of the six tribes of Shoumo, the chiefs and officials of the Han people in Liangzhou, and the leaders of the four Sogdian surnames all followed Zhang Zhao to the Xuanwu Gate.

Although the Dharma Conference in Liangzhou City has been held for the seventh day, there are still quite a lot of Buddhist believers coming from all over.

Among them were many Tibetans wearing leather robes and combing their hair into various braids. They came down from the Dafeichuan River. These people who had nothing to do with Liangzhou originally rushed to Liangzhou City one after another.

The leaders of the six tribes at the end of the month looked at each other, and all of them had to admit that at this moment, Zhang Zhao had basically gained the respect of hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Liangzhou.

Zhang Zhao is also observing the leaders of the Six Tribes. Although they have created their own identity as Ammo, they have historically become the dominant force in Liangzhou City and absorbed all the remaining Han people in Liangzhou. Within this category.

But it is a pity that even a ruthless person like Zhebu Jiashi failed to completely make this ethnic group between the Han and Tubo people into a real nation.

In history, after several leaders of the Zhebu family passed by, the person who replaced them in ruling the six tribes of the Momo was Pan Luozhi from Songpan.

Pan Luozhi was actually an authentic Tubo person compared to the people from Sichuan. However, as a native of northern Sichuan, he was able to go to the distant Liangzhou to replace the Zhebu family precisely because of his status as a nobleman of Tibet.

It can be said that after the Central Plains court had given up on them, these Momo people finally returned to the embrace of Tubo.

Zhang Zhao guessed that in history, when the local tycoons moved away from the Bu family, they must have thought about making the country an independent nation, but in the end they lost to reality.

What's even more unfortunate is that after Pan Luozhi from Songpan rules here, the Ammo people still have a chance to rise.

But it is a pity that after Pan Luozhi killed Li Jiqian, the God of War of Jinze, he was dramatically tricked to death by Li Jiqian's son Li Deming. This led to the sudden interruption of the process of becoming a nation on its own.

After Pan Luozhi, the most famous leader of Su Mo was Xi Siluo from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Zusiluo is not a name but an honorific. It is a Tibetan transliteration and literally means the son of Buddha.

And Jisiluo himself is also a descendant of Tubo Zampu. The leader of Shimo changed directly from Pan Luozhi, a nobleman with Tubo aristocratic blood, to Zunsiluo with Zanpu bloodline. This proves that they have gone through a series of self-development. After agreeing with it, he chose to return to the Tubo people.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Momo people disappeared in history, because they failed to become a truly new nation in the end.

Their final fate was that some of them defected to the Xixia Party, and some of them returned to the various Tubo tribes.

However, in this era, these hundreds of thousands of war-savvy Momo people, who are actually the descendants of the soldiers from Longyou and Hexi, have another choice.

That is to follow Zhang Zhao back to the Tang Dynasty and become a Haner again. This is why Zhang Zhao would rather take some risks and invite the envoy of Guge King Jidenimagun to Liangzhou.

Waves of Buddhist chants were heard, and the sound of chanting Buddhist sutras could be heard clearly even on the second floor of Xuanwu Gate. Zhang Zhao looked at Liangzhou City with a particularly emotional expression.

He pointed at the crowd who did not listen to the cheers and chanted Buddhist scriptures, and said to the leaders of the six tribes of Ammo, the Han people of Liangzhou, and the leaders of the four Sogdian surnames.

“I’m afraid Liangzhou City hasn’t seen such a beautiful scene in decades, right?

In fact, I guess that since the Tang Dynasty declined and Tubo captured Longyou in Hexi Province, this city has never shown such prosperity and glory!

Speaking of which, you are the same as me. Whether you admit it or not, we are actually the remnants of the Tang Dynasty, a group of people who have lost their country and their family. "

"For example, take Guo Canjun." Zhang Zhao pointed at Guo Tiance and said, "It is the descendant of Guo Xingong, the Jiedushi of the Four Towns of Anxi and the King of Wuwei County. It is the descendant of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhao pointed to Li Qilang again, "This Li Qilang was once the great nephew of Duke Li Yuanzhong of Ningsai County, the Protector of Beiting. Let me tell you something."

Zhang Zhao pointed to himself this time, "A certain Zhang family has lived in Dunhuang for a long time. They are the descendants of the officers and generals under the control of the Jiedu Yamen in Hexi."

Finally, Zhang Zhao pointed to the leaders of the six tribes of the Mo Mo, "Among you, Chief Shen's ancestor is the Yamen of the Lintao Army of the Longyou Jiedushi, and the ancestor of Zhao Zhenjiang. He is the guardian of Wucheng under the Hexi Jiedushi." Capture the descendants of the general.

You have never been a loser, but like a certain person, you are the remnants of the empire who have left the empire, the orphans of Tang'er who have suffered many hardships but are not understood.

I know that many of you don't understand. I, Zhang Zhao, already have such a big foundation in Anxi and Hezhong. Why do I have to return east to Liangzhou? Come and start from scratch!

I can tell you now that I, Zhang Zhao, am not convinced. I just want to ask, ask the Central Plains court, and ask the emperor on the dragon throne why he abandoned us and the sons of the generals and soldiers of Anxi, Hexi, and Longyou. Like worn shoes?

It would be fine to say that Anxi is far away and cannot be rescued, but Liangzhou is not far away. How innocent are the descendants of our Hexi Longyou soldiers?

When my ancestor Zhang Taibao entered Liangzhou City, your ancestors and my ancestors worked together to defeat Lun Xingre and get rid of their status as slaves.

We have been trapped in chaos for decades, but we have never forgotten the country and the court. Such loyalty should be comforted and rewarded.

But why do they treat us as barbarians without any distinction?

A certain Zhang Zhao just wanted to find out. He just wanted to go to Chang'an and Luoyang. There must be an explanation for the hundreds of years of grievances.

I also don’t want my descendants to become Hu’er who don’t know their ancestors. A certain Han family identity was passed down to me by my ancestors through blood and culture. It cannot be cut off from me just because the court ignores it!

Today, the envoy of Guge King Jide Nyimagon, a descendant of Zanpu, is here. He came here from thousands of miles away. He is also someone specially invited to remove the shackles that have been on you for hundreds of years.

Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Jidenimagon's envoy was a little embarrassed, but he still hurried forward.

In his hand he held a roll of parchment stained with yellow, which was the edict from Tubo Zanpu.

Although Jidenimagon was not a Tubo Zan, today when the Tubo Empire fell apart and Zanpu's descendants were scattered, the Guge royal line still has certain legal principles.

The envoy faced the leaders of the six tribes of Ammo and recited the content of the edict loudly, "The grandson of Zanpu, the true god king with the power of divine transformation, and the great king of Guge protected by the Buddha, issued an edict:

To the east of Dafeichuan and the West Sea, there is the Liugu tribe that was once owned by the god king Zanpu Zhimo. Now the god king is virtuous and respects the Buddha as an equal. From now on, you have no one to belong to. "

Shen Zhihai, Zhebu Jiashi and others looked at each other, and then they realized why Zhang Zhao had summoned the envoy of Guge King Jidenimagun.

It turned out to be to help them relieve themselves of the status of slaves and servants imposed on them by the Tubo people.

It can be said that from this moment on, from the moment this edict came into effect, the descendants of Tubo Zampu gave up their legal control over the six tribes of Ammo.

It can even be said that from now on, there will be no more morons in the world, and they will no longer be morons.

This seemed like a good thing, but Shen Zhihai, who was smart, knew that Zhang Jun made a very clever move in front of him.

This is because they have always used their identity as a tycoon and their grievances of being bullied and oppressed but not being redressed to gather surrounding tribes and improve their self-identity.

But at this moment, the identity of Aomo suddenly ceased to exist. They had lost the link that brought together the Liugu Tribe and even all the tribes in the Hehuang Valley.

Zhang Zhao only turned around at this time. In the land of Liangzhou, there were only 20,000 to 30,000 Han people, and only more than 30,000 Sogdians. His own Tang'er descendants brought from Anxi did not even have 10,000 people. It's too little compared to the amount of rice.

If the identity of Shi Mo is not eliminated, even if he gets the allegiance of the Six Ministries of Shi Mo, it will still be a very dangerous thing for Zhang Zhao.

Because the main body under his rule will become more than 200,000, and the number will even be even larger after including the Hehuang Valley, reaching 600,000 to 700,000 Momo people.

This is a typical example of taking the spotlight!

Therefore, even if Zhang Zhao takes the risk of letting Jidenimagon's descendants return to Luochang, he still has to exchange for Jidenimagon's identity as a descendant of Tubo Zanpu to relieve the status of the Ammo people in the Sixth Department of Tomo. , causing them to lose their identity of constantly being together.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Zhao to express his thoughts openly, so Zhang Zhao suddenly turned around, and with an excited look he grabbed the hands of the two main leaders of the Shen Zhihai and Zhe Bu Jia Shi families. hand.

After several years of training, Zhang Zhao's acting skills have become more and more proficient. He looked at the somewhat bewildered leaders of Ammo with red eyes and said in a trembling voice.

"From this moment on, the chains imposed on us by the Tubo people since the decline of the Tang Dynasty are gone! You can finally get rid of this humiliating identity and return to your identity as survivors of the Tang Dynasty!

During the Xiantong period of Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, my ancestor Zhang Taibao repeatedly wrote to the court just for this matter. Today, a certain Zhang Erlang finally fulfilled his ancestor’s last wish!

I wonder if you are willing to join me and work together to recreate the glory of Tang'er in Longyou, Hexi?

Come with me to the Central Plains court that once abandoned us, and ask where we come from?

Are you willing to return to your motherland again and take back your Tanger identity? "

Kang's passionate words and excited expression made Zhang Zhao understand the importance of this window period better than anyone else.

If it had been more than ten years later that after his death, Zhebu Jiashi had completed the first gathering of all the various ministries in Momo, they would never have been able to go back.

Shen Zhihai was very excited, but Zhebu Jiashi couldn't get excited, nor could he or the leaders of various ethnic groups behind him who didn't look like Han people.

Liangzhou has been in turmoil for hundreds of years. Are their ancestors soldiers from Longyou, Hexi? In fact, they themselves are not very clear about it.

But at this moment, Zhang Zhao used his power to suppress others, one after another, leaving them no choice but to regard themselves as descendants of the Longyou soldiers in Hexi.

"I would like to return to my motherland with the military envoy and be Tang'er again!" Shen Zhihai was the first to kneel down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhebu Jiashi, who had no choice but to kneel down, pressed his forehead on the floor tiles of Xuanwu Gate.

"The Zhebu family is also willing to work with the military envoy to regain their lost glory."

Seeing Zhe Bu Jia Shi kneeling on the ground, Zhang Zhao's heart finally fell. This is why he talked about Tang'er, but not Han.

Tang'er can include people from all ethnic groups, and Han'er, then we can only kick out the Zhebu family, who are likely to be the descendants of Dangxiang, Yangtong, or Tuyuhun people. This is definitely No way.

As the Shen family, the leader of the Han people in the six tribes of the end of the world, and the Zhebu family, the leaders of other clans, expressed their allegiance, the leaders of Zhao Zhenjiang, Zongge's family and other families also knelt on the ground.

From now on, they are no longer dead. It's Tang Er who works under Zhang Zhao!
