Hebei Province, Chengde Prefecture.
Historically, Chengde in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties came from the meaning of inheriting the kindness of ancestors. In Zhang Shengren's case, it means inheriting the compassion and kindness of the Buddha.
Now Chengde Prefecture is a veritable Buddhist kingdom, including the entire city, which is built around major temples.
Under Zhang Zhang's order, Murong Nobunaga and Gao Xingzhou successively recruited more than 100,000 people of all ethnic groups and built more than 20 large and small temples from Lion Peak to Niushan.
These temples are basically built in the style of Liufa Sect.
This is inevitable, because Zhang Yan wanted to use religion to restrain all ethnic groups in the plateau, grassland, and pine desert like the Manchu and Qing Dynasties did. This was destined to be unable to introduce Buddhism, which was complex and full of philosophical thoughts in the Central Plains.
What these common people can accept and what they all believe in needs to be more straightforward and more superstitious in order to adapt to their current productivity level.
On the Lion Peak, the Jokhang Temple is located at the top and is also the most majestic. It has the implicit meaning of being the first of all temples.
In fact, this can be seen from the name. There are only three Zhaoming Temples in the entire Zhou Kingdom.
One in Dunhuang commemorates Zhang Xiaosong and Zhang Yichao, the two heroic ancestors of the Zhang family in Longtou, Shazhou.
One in Liangzhou commemorates the martyrs who died fighting for the sake of righteousness and returned home, as well as the martyrs who stood alone in the four towns of Anxi in the past.
This one in Chengde Mansion is the third one.
And it is different from the three Buddhas worshiped in the main hall of ordinary temples, namely Sakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya Buddha and Kassapa Buddha.
Zhaoming Temple has been replaced with a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, a lamp-burning Buddha, and a Buddha wearing a Vajra mask.
This is the embodiment of the sutras of the Six Dharmas Sect. The Burning Deng Buddha corresponds to Lao Tzu's nonsense, the Sakyamuni Buddha naturally corresponds to the Buddha, and the third Vajra Mask Buddha is naturally my supreme heaven.
But according to the scriptures of the Six Dharma Sects, the Supreme Heavenly Great Mercifulness, Great Compassion, Great Wisdom and Great Perfection Wheel-turning Dharma King is only the human body of the Supreme Heavenly Great Mercifulness, Great Compassion, Great Wisdom and Great Perfection Buddha in the world.
As long as the soul in this body does not return to the Western Paradise, that is, before I, Zhang Wushangtian, passes away and ascends, this Buddha statue will always wear a mask, and the Buddha body will only be carved from wood, without a golden body or any medical treatment. Painted.
At this moment, I, Zhang Wushangtian, finally returned with the army that left the fortress. Not only did he return, he also held a grand celebration party in Chengde Mansion, and everyone from all walks of life was rewarded.
Yan Jin added a thousand households, actually one hundred households, and gave them two farms around Luoyang. He also gave posthumous gifts to the three generations of his ancestors, imitating the six generations of his ancestors.
Don't underestimate this, because Yan Jin has no genealogy at all.
He himself did not have a name when he came down from the Qingtang Plateau. He only knew that his surname was Yan. He should be the last hero in Hexi to resist the Tubo and a descendant of the Yan Dynasty from Taiyuan.
Correspondingly, Yan Jin's grandfather has no name, his father has no name, and his mother died young.
Therefore, when Yan Jin was guarding Taiyuan, Zhang Yan could only directly posthumously grant the title to the Yan Dynasty. The six generations below the Yan Dynasty and above Yan Jin were completely vacant.
This time, Zhang Gao was granted posthumous title as emperor to solve this problem for Yan Jin. For example, Yan Jin's father was posthumously granted the title of Duke of Pingtao County and governor of Shazhou by Zhang Gao.
From now on, Yan Jin's father can be known as Yan Pingtao or Yan Shazhou, and these two official titles can also be engraved on the shrine.
For Yan Jin, his father is no longer the slave soldier in his memory who served Dong Dai all his life without even a name and was just called the Langqu Family Wild Ass. Instead, he is a concrete figure with a name and an official position.
When it comes to winning over people's hearts, I, Zhang Shengren, am absolutely brilliant in my methods, and I can always hit the softest part of my subjects' hearts with just one move.
When Yan Jin went out of the fortress this time, he first captured Linhuang Mansion in the capital city of Khitan, then defeated the black chariot Shiwei, and then went north to the Daxianbei Mountains to intimidate the leaders of the thirteen tribes such as Wei, Dadan, and Xi to surrender.
For such a great achievement, he was not promoted to a noble title, but was only given food to one hundred households.
This thing can produce a thousand kilograms of rice a year, dozens of dried chickens and ducks, a dozen salted fish, a dozen kilograms of cured mutton, and some fresh vegetables during the four seasons.
For Yan Jin's status, it is not much different from none. Only those two farms are worth some money.
But Yan Jin burst into tears when he found out that Zhang Yan had given it to his ancestor six generations later.
He has always been known for his stability, but he got extremely drunk at the celebration banquet. Not only did he strip off his arms and perform a singing and dancing show, but he also had a fight with Huang Yingda. It can be said that he was so happy that he let himself go.
Bai Congxin's title did not change, but Zhang Gao specifically approved him to recruit a thousand herdsmen in Woluduo City.
Because Zhang Shengren knew what this guy was thinking, he dreamed of restoring Bai's Qiuci Kingdom.
Compared with this wish, the title has never been Bai Congxin's priority. Anyway, when he finally left, his title would definitely be raised to the level of king of the foreign vassal.
When the time comes, it doesn't matter whether he wants to be the King of Kucha or the King of Bai.
In addition to giving Bai Congxin the power to recruit a thousand herdsmen, Zhang Gao also summoned scribes to compile a genealogy for his family.
This Bai family originally came from the prince Bai of the Qin State. He was the heir of Duke Wu of Qin, but in the end his title was taken away by his uncle, Duke Qin De, the younger brother of Duke Wu of Qin.
His descendants began to take Bai as their surname, and Bai Qi, the God of Killing in the Warring States Period, was the descendant of Prince Bai.
Zhang Yan is now ordering people to compile it. He said that during the Qin Degong period, a descendant of Gongzi Bai was forced to move westward and finally settled in Qiuci. They were the ancestors of King Qiuci and Bai Congxin.
As for why some people in the Bai family have yellow heads and green eyes, it must be because Hu Ji has married too many and is of mixed blood.
Well, it would be impolite if you still ask why most people look like this, right?
As for the others, Li Cunhui ascended the throne from Duke Su to Duke Wei. Well, now we can call him Duke Li Wei. He was so beautiful that Li Cunhui's nose bubbled up on the spot.
The others Huang Yingda, Yang Jiye, etc. were all rewarded, and even Pan Mei received the title of Yuancheng Bo.
After holding the celebration banquet, Zhang Yan was not ready to leave Chengde Mansion, because next, he was going to hold an election meeting in Chengde for the nomadic, fishing and hunting, and semi-agricultural tribes in the plateau, grassland, and pine desert.
In this election meeting, Zhang Yan was preparing to obtain the title of Tian Khan and complete the basic division of the six dioceses of the three places in Chengde Mansion.
At that time, monks and officials systems such as Living Buddha, Dade, and Dusengtong will be established in Qingtang, Xihai, Moxi, Mobei, Monan, Daxianbei Mountain and Xiaoxianbei Mountain.
. . . .
Letters were rushed for 800 miles and were delivered to Zhang Xi. In fact, even when Zhang Xi was on the grassland, Queen Cao Yanxi still informed Zhang Xi of the major events that happened in the court at the frequency of one letter every five days.
In addition to Queen Cao Yanxi, Pei Yuan, who oversaw the affairs of the court, Guo Tiance, the privy envoy, Zhang Liecheng, the commander of the royal guards, the emperor's absolute confidant, and Liu Tao, the political counselor, would also rush 800 miles to the palace at an irregular frequency of three to five days. In the hands of Zhang Yan.
This is what allows me, Emperor Zhang, to continue to stay in Chengde Mansion after the battle in Mobei.
Although he was far away, the military power was firmly in his hands, and he knew quite clearly what happened in the court.
The Rehe Palace is also located on Lion Peak, but it is not at the top of the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain.
The name was given by Zhang Zhi, which comes from the fact that there are several huge hot springs outside the palace. Craftsmen used unique thermal insulation channels to introduce the hot spring water into the palace, forming a mile-long hot river.
So Zhang Gao simply called the palace Rehe Palace.
Bathing in hot springs in winter is a top-notch enjoyment. Emperor Zhang lay naked in the slightly hot water, surrounded by maids carrying top-grade Jiangnan rice wine made with red dates, wolfberry, tangerine peel and other warm ingredients.
Nuts and snacks such as dried longans and walnuts are also available, and the mist rises like a fairyland.
Zhang Hao sighed, feeling a little regretful that cashews and peanuts were missing.
What kind of fucking supreme emperor, the Blissful Dharma King, doesn’t even have a bite to eat beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, or steamed corn.
To eat big crabs or oysters, you have to run to the beach yourself. Big lobsters are not often caught yet.
Don't even think about hot pot. The spiciness of dogwood is always a bit weird, and it's far different from chili.
In addition to mutton, Dunton also has mutton, or deer and horse meat that are fishy and woody.
Don't even think about beef. He himself has just issued a death order. The whole country, even if a farm cow dies, needs to be reported to the governor immediately.
The county magistrate must personally check and confirm whether the death was a normal death, or indeed a death from illness, accidental fall, etc.
After it is recorded, the beef can be purchased by the government and then sold uniformly.
The death of farm cattle was not due to these three reasons. From twenty days of fighting to three days of shackles to exile, the regulations were detailed and strict.
There is no other way. To resume production, cattle are the most important production tool, bar none.
As for Zhang Hao himself, apart from eating a few beef meals on the grassland, he could only eat beef as a sacrifice after the annual sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth.
Even Zhang Yan deliberately refused to eat yak meat, just because he was afraid that it would start a trend of eating beef, and then high-ranking officials would kill farm cattle and pass them off as yak meat.
However, it is not without its benefits. Zhang Yan waved gently. In the distance, a beautiful girl with plump hips and slender waist, an upside-down jade bowl, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old and could at least be rated as a seven-point beauty, quickly reached out with her hand. Her long hair gathered up, and then she sank into the water with her head and everyone.
After a while, he raised his head again, and then took a breath and sank again.
After Zhang Hao moved his index finger, the girl with water droplets on her body blinked her watery eyes again and took a pose.
This is the youngest daughter of Dusage, the powerful Buhao chief of Beizu. To win, kill, and accept his beautiful wives, concubines, and daughters is one of the most important rights of a steppe khan.
The surrounding maids took the initiative to turn around and even covered themselves up with white silk cloths.
Ten minutes later, Dong Shaojian came over with a stack of secret reports. He had just sorted out the five copies of the 800-mile expedited report sent to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan took it and took a look. He looked up and saw Cao Renzun's name, and then he didn't look down.
Because Cao Renzun was Zhang Yan's biggest target this time. In addition to irritating Zhang Yan with his actions in the Hexi Chamber of Commerce, this guy also did something that Zhang Yan could never forgive, and even said he had violated Ni Lin.
When I, Zhang Shengren, expressed my hope that Xia Jun and Yi people would use religion and armor to occupy the middle of the river and the coast of the West Sea, Cao Renzun made a lot of nonsense in Dunhuang.
He said: "Our ancestors went through many hardships to become Tang people in the Tang Dynasty, and now they have to go back and continue to be barbarians. Isn't it crazy?"
