In Hezhong Province, Kangju City, and outside the Palace of the Republic Parliament, a procession covered with lavender curtains slowly moved forward. The leading knights all carried two huge tiger-head flags.
On one side is written 'Princess Weiguo Yuan, Princess of the Holy Week'
On one side is written 'Holy Spirit, Supreme Heaven, Buddha Daughter'
The Xia Xun ministers, great Confucians, eminent monks, wealthy businessmen, etc. who came to attend the Republican Congress in Hezhong knew at a glance that the sixteenth daughter of the Emperor, Princess Wei, was here.
As for her husband's Persian king, not only did the Xia Xun ministers not take him seriously, but Zhang Yuan himself did not put the title of Queen of Persia on the tiger-head flag.
In the eyes of everyone, the status of the sixteenth daughter of the emperor was as noble as the queen of Persia.
Seeing that they were almost arriving at the Palace of the Republic Parliament, Princess Wei quickly stopped the ceremonial guard, then dressed in military uniform and rode lightly with dozens of elite cavalry.
Zhang Yuan knew very well that the people walking on this street now were all the secretaries of Zhuxia Kingdom in the five extreme western provinces. There were also many national scholars from Wuweiyuan and Zhaogongyuan. It was already very crowded, so there was no need. Use honors to make people talk.
As a result, Zhang Yuan's arrival immediately won the cheers of a large number of Han people on both sides. They either praised Princess Wei as the most knowledgeable, or praised her for her heroic appearance and that she was worthy of being a daughter of the Han family.
Princess Wei came here specifically to canvass votes for the upcoming decisive battle in the Houses of the Republic. In addition, she also wanted to draw hundreds of thousands of Persians from the five far western provinces who had converted to the Six Dharma Sect.
Zhang Xianyu, the king of Anguo, looked at this very smart sister with a headache. The little girl had hundreds of tricks in her body, and she was very good at taking advantage of the soft-heartedness of her brothers and trying to pull off the skin of a tiger and try to pull the flag. It was very difficult to deal with.
"Sixteenth sister, it's like you took away hundreds of thousands of people, are you going to empty out your family at once?" Zhang Xianyu could only ask jokingly.
Zhang Yuan smiled sweetly, served Zhang Xianyu the homemade tea, and then said somewhat deliberately:
"My little sister actually wants more than a few hundred thousand. It would be best to take away two to three million. This will also make it easier for the brothers to free up the cage for birds."
Zhang Xianyu frowned. He vaguely guessed what Zhang Yuan wanted to do, and did not express his position for a while.
As soon as Zhang Yuan saw that Zhang Xianyu no longer objected fiercely, he immediately followed up and persuaded: "Brother Shen Wang and Tang Wang still have a big battle to fight in Tianzhu, and money is flowing like water, so we must find some way for them to make money.
Of course, the most important thing is that the serfs from Tianzhu are far more tame than the Persians in the five far western provinces. After the Persians are removed, the five far western provinces will always be our land of China. "
Zhang Xianyu slowly shook his head, "Tianzhu serfs are also human beings. They are not livestock like cattle and sheep. They are people who have needs."
Zhang Yuan stood up immediately after hearing this and stared at Zhang Xianyu with a burning gaze, "Second brother, you are the Western Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha. It is up to you to make the decision on this change and then agree to it with my father.
This is the only opportunity to make the five extreme western provinces the land of Xia forever. If our generation is gone, future generations will not have this determination. "
Zhang Yuan's plan was very ruthless, that is, within thirty years, more than 70% of Persia and part of Sogdia in the five extreme western provinces, as well as other Turkic-speaking groups, would be moved to the Middle East except Iran in later generations.
The population gap left after the Persians were moved away will be filled by a part of the Han people and a large number of serfs from Tianzhu.
In this way, the Persians and other ethnic groups who migrated westward would become Zhang Yuan's inner circle, helping his wife suppress the cannibals in the Middle East today.
But just as Zhang Xianyu worried, the Tianzhu people are also human beings, not livestock. When they arrive in the five far western provinces, won’t they become mainly guests?
Therefore, this involves a larger plan. The Liufa Sect in the five extreme western provinces must have a certain degree of doctrinal peace with the Brahmanism in Tianzhu.
Specifically, the Six Dharma Sects in the five extreme western provinces will move closer to Brahmanism in doctrine and divide the people in the five extreme western provinces into three identities: master, slave, and guest.
The Han people were the masters, the serfs from Tianzhu were the guests, and the small number of Tianzhu serfs who were inspired by the master were the slaves.
The owner occupies a large area of land, and the slave is assisting. The guest cannot own the land and can only cultivate it for a lifetime.
This thing is not as extreme as the caste system. It is actually the serfdom of Lucia in later generations.
As long as this is implemented, the Han people in the five extreme western provinces will at least be rich farmers with large tracts of land, citizens, and able to elect national officials.
He has always been a loser chosen to help rule.
The guests at the bottom were serfs, who could only farm and graze in the fields for the rest of their lives.
"I wonder what my descendants will think of me, Zhang Xianyu, hundreds of years from now!" Zhang Xianyu sighed, already somewhat agreeing in his heart.
"Of course I regard my second brother as a great hero.
Nowadays, the Han people come to the west, only tens of thousands of people are born every year, and the Persians and other tribes give birth to hundreds of thousands of people every year. We are outsiders occupying their land. If we don't do this, our descendants will be drowned by the barbarians in a few hundred years.
There are no people left, so how can we discuss it?
And if my sister thinks about it, no one in the future generations will slander her brother. If so, then he is also an unfilial and rebellious son, and what he says is not worth listening to! "
Zhang Xianyu opened his eyes and laughed a few times, "Sixteenth Mother is really a heroine, and I am not as good as you as a brother! This matter must be done, let future generations comment on the merits and demerits!"
. . . .
"My son!" In the Ziwei Palace in the divine capital, the seventy-three-year-old Zhang Shengren screamed miserably, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The imperial doctor in the inner court panicked and rushed forward to ask for help. The ministers and nobles who were accompanying him They were also frightened.
The emperor's age itself is extremely rare among emperors throughout the ages. It would be bad if he spit out a mouthful of blood.
Although the sixty-five-year-old Queen Cao Yanxi herself almost fainted from crying, she still rushed to comfort the emperor when she saw him vomiting blood:
"Although Nobunaga does not live as long as a saint, sixty-sixty is not considered a short life. Your Majesty should take more care of yourself."
The eldest grandson of Murong Murong, Zhang Changqing, who came to report the news, also rushed over and cried to persuade him, "Aweng has been fighting all his life and is covered with injuries. He has suffered unspeakably from past illnesses over the years.
It is a good thing that I can go to the Paradise of Paradise early and return to the immortal class, and sweep the heavenly palace to treat my great-grandfather. I also ask my great-grandfather to express my condolences. "
Zhang Zhao felt as if a big stone was blocked in his chest. He couldn't breathe or swallow, and the pain was excruciating.
Although his still sober mind was saddened by the death of Murong Nobunaga, he also understood that he was already old and might have a stroke this time.
I don't know how long it took, but a group of sweaty imperial doctors administered medicine and acupuncture before rescuing me, Zhang Shengren, from the edge of extreme danger.
After I, Zhang Shengren, was able to move, I waved my hand to let others go out, leaving only Queen Cao Yanxi, Prince Zhang Xianjing, and Prince Yan's grandson Zhang Changqing.
"Aliu's illness has resurfaced, and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for much longer. Your third brother is far away in Xiliu City (Kabul). The Zhuxia Kingdom is going to have a big campaign recently, so it's impossible to come back. Only the eldest brother is here to give gifts, so why not let him Come back and serve your mother for a while."
Zhang Zhao was speaking to Prince Zhang Xianjing and Queen Cao Yanxi.
Li Ruoliu was two years older than Zhang Zhao. He had been suffering from illness in the past two years, and his health was getting worse day by day. He longed to see his eldest son, King of Chu, Zhang Xiancun again, but he really couldn't say it out loud.
Because of the unstable status of the prince, the situation where the older and more prestigious emperor brother stayed in the capital all year round was the most feared thing in all dynasties.
Cao Yanxi obviously hesitated for a moment, and when he was still thinking about how to respond, Prince Zhang Xianjing had already nodded, "I, the Holy Zhou Dynasty, rule the world with loyalty and filial piety. The eldest brother of the King of Chu is a great loyalty to expand the country. When I return to God, it is all out of pure filial piety. My son Then I ordered Shu Sheng to plan a move to recruit Brother Chu Wang to return to the capital of gods."
A satisfied smile appeared on Zhang Zhao's face, "If my son has the courage of a generation of heroes, let Qin Tianjian choose a date. From now on, you will have to shoulder this burden."
Zhang Xianjing suddenly had blood on his head and even shook twice. He is forty-three years old this year! The prince who has been a prince for twenty-one years has been preparing for this day under the strict supervision of his mother since his birth.
"My father is at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period and his longevity is more than ten thousand years old. My son's talent and virtue are shallow and he cannot bear this destiny!"
Although he was extremely greedy, Zhang Xianjing knew that he still had to be humble at this time.
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "If Duke Huan of Qi died together with Guan Zhong, he would be the most enlightened master in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Emperor Shizong of the Han Dynasty died a few years ago, so there was no trouble caused by witchcraft.
If Emperor Xuanzong of the great dynasty Tianbao collapsed in his early years, I am afraid there would not be a second Emperor Taizongwen alive.
Even though I am old, I still want to leave a good name in history. "
After finishing speaking, seeing Zhang Xianjing want to speak, Zhang Zhao immediately waved his hand to stop him, "My father has watched you take charge of the government in recent years. Maybe you don't have the foresight like me, and you are a little weaker militarily, but in terms of governance, Politics is ten times better than mine.
You and I, father and son, should not make any concessions or give in, and hurry up and do it! "
Zhang Zhao is telling the truth. He comes from a later generation, and his vision and knowledge are naturally better than anyone else in this era. He is also very talented in political struggles and is self-taught.
But before time travel, he was just a history blogger who played with armor, and in all aspects of governing the country, he was only at the level of a keyboard warrior. Even if he learned and practiced later, he was only better than the average person.
Zhang Xianjing has been studying and practicing how to govern the country since he was a child, and he is indeed much better than him in this aspect.
In the more than ten years since the prince was in power, Zhang Zhou had the fastest data in terms of political clarity and economic development.
Today, Zhangzhou's vast territory covers almost all places covered by Han civilization, and its registered population has grown to nearly 120 million.
The Central Plains and Guanzhong, which originally began to decline in history, have become increasingly prosperous due to the high-yielding crops in the Americas and the large amounts of goods brought back by the soldiers after the Western Expeditions. Instead of declining, they have vaguely returned to the appearance of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The Kaifeng City area in Tokyo continues to expand and is almost connected to Zhengzhou.
Luoyang, the sacred capital, has more than 700,000 registered residents, almost as much as during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
The population of Jingzhao Chang'an Prefecture has also recovered to about 600,000, and a new style of Taixue education has emerged. Jingzhao Taixue and Chang'an Taixue are famous throughout the country.
The land of Hebei is fertile and wild, and the people are abundant. The populations of Yecheng, Handan, Hejian and Peiping each exceed 400,000.
In addition, Jinling Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, and Mingzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan, Guangzhou Prefecture in Lingnan, Shenyang Prefecture in Liaodong, and Osaka Prefecture in Asahi all have a population of hundreds of thousands.
The total length of standard highways across the country has increased from less than 600 miles to more than 30,000 miles, greatly strengthening the connections between various places.
The coastal crab fishing port (Vladivostok), North Suzhou (Dalian), Dengzhou, Hangzhou Prefecture, Minzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Jinzhou (Fushan), Osaka, Sendai, Hoi An (Annan Hoi An) and other places are all A large number of shipyards and corresponding navigation academies have been established, and ship navigation technology and routes to America, Tianzhu, and China have been basically mature.
The grassland is vast and sparsely populated. Whenever there are groups of brave and brave people, they are immediately reported to the monks of the Liufa Sect, and then the court pays for the equipment and packs it up and sends it to the west.
The ministers, monks and officials who stayed on the grassland had large tracts of pasture, and their herds of cattle and sheep were very prosperous. They enjoyed a large amount of polished rice, white flour, delicacies from the mountains and seas from the Han Dynasty, and often went south to enjoy themselves.
Most of their nephews studied in the Central Plains. When they got older, they either returned to the grasslands to recruit talents and went west to build their own businesses, or they worked in the court or did business, almost like the Han people.
A large number of schools have been established on both sides of the Xianbei Mountains and Anton and other places. From county primary schools to state high schools to provincial schools and Taixue, the education system is the most complete.
The elite among them received Chinese cultural education. In addition to serving the country and going west, they also had two options to go to Japan and even Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Going to Asahi can make you a junior military attaché, but going to Dongzhou is more difficult, but the world is vaster, but both have a bright future.
Such Zhang Zhou can definitely be regarded as the most powerful country in the world at this time.
In the past ten years, Zhang Zhao only focused on the army and religion, and Zhang Xianjing was in charge of the country's governance.
Zhang Zhao is very satisfied with his performance. This son cannot be a second-generation hero like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Ming Dynasty, but he can be a weak version of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty or a slightly stronger version of Emperor Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Xianjing heard that Zhang Zhao deliberately emphasized the words "hurry up the time to do it" and knew that his father meant that he should complete the matter before his eldest brother Zhang Xiancun, the king of Chu, returned to the capital of gods, so as to avoid some ambitious people from thinking wildly.
At the same time, he saw that his father really wanted to abdicate, so he immediately stopped refusing and just burst into tears.
I don’t know if I’m crying for the hard work I’ve put in for more than 20 years, or should I say almost 40 years, or what.
Anyway, it was not easy. His sworn brother Murong Nobunaga, King of Yan, his eldest brother Zhang Xiancun, King of Chu, and his second brother Zhang Xianyu, King An, were all world-famous wise kings and invincible commanders.
The three of them also corresponded to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the East, Precious Born Tathagata Buddha in the South and Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha in the West respectively in the Six Dharma Sects.
It can be said that each of these three people has an advantage over him, and everyone has the capital to inherit the big position. One can imagine how much pressure Zhang Xianjing is under.
After Zhang Xianjing and Queen Cao Yanxi went out, Zhang Zhaocai called Zhang Changqing to him.
This group of people gave up their surname Murong and changed their surname to Zhang, which was also strongly advocated by Murong Nobunaga.
Because Zhang Changqing and Murong Xin's eldest son Zhang Nengyi, who stayed in Osaka Prefecture waiting for canonization, were different from the second son who was vassal in North Korea.
North Korea was squeezed in front of Penglai and Lelang. The navy arrived in a few days from Dengzhou, and there was no possibility of escaping.
But Asahi was different, so in order to prevent King Yan's lineage from alienating the royal family, Murong Nobunaga did not give the eldest son the surname Murong, but directly named Zhang, in accordance with the royal family rules.
"Aweng has passed away, and my father wanted my great-grandfather to take back Aweng's title of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the East. Apart from Aweng, no one in the Asahi Zhang family can bear this title."
Zhang Changqing peeled an apple and handed it to Zhang Zhao, and then whispered to Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao nodded. The boy Hutou still knows how to advance and retreat. With his ability and virtue, he really cannot bear the title of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
But it seemed that Hu Tou couldn't bear it, so he asked his son Zhang Changqing to act cute in front of Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao thought for a while and said slowly: "Let me build a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva dojo for you, Aweng. I will enshrine my armor, weapons and other things during my lifetime, and my descendants will be the masters of the dojo."
Zhang Changqing quickly nodded in agreement. In this way, the title of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will forever remain in the Asahi Zhang family. Although their descendants have lost their godhood, they will always have the status of high priest.
. . . .
December of the twenty-fifth year of Zhang Zhou's reign, AD 985.
The aged Khan of Heaven, the King of Kings in the Far West, the Golden Wheel Holy King of Tianzhu, the last Zanpu on earth, the eternal mentor of the Caliph, the great loving father of all tribes in the Far West, and the Supreme Holy Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Zhao, issued successive orders. His last two edicts as emperor.
The first one was to posthumously give Murong Nobunaga, the king of the Yan Kingdom who died of illness, as the crown prince, which gave the elder son a position in the Zhang family. He was given the posthumous name Huanwu and was called Prince Huanwu.
Originally, the highest posthumous title for a military general was Zhongwu, but Murong Nobunaga was definitely not a simple military general. Therefore, he added the posthumous title Huanwu, which means "Huan" in the four directions of Wu, which is very consistent with Murong Nobunaga's life.
At the same time, Zhang Nengyi, the eldest son of Murong Nobunaga, was ordered to transport Murong Nobunaga's body back to the sacred capital of Luoyang and be buried with him in Zhaoling.
From the beginning of the Asahi Province, wherever the coffin passed, civil and military officials, gentry and common people, as well as ministers who were younger than Murong Nobunaga, all wore plain clothes to see it off. Weddings and funerals nationwide were suspended for three months to express mourning.
As for Murong Nobunaga's two territories of Asahi and Korea, Zhang Zhao canonized Murong Nobunaga's eldest son Zhang Nengyi as the King of Yan and continued to rule Asahi Province.
Murong Nobunaga's third son, Murong Zaide, was canonized as the Prince of Korea and ruled the Korean province.
He also allowed Zhang Changsi, the second grandson of Murong Nobunaga, to marry the princess of Kunming, the eleventh daughter of King Zhang Xiancun of Chu, and gave Penglai Province as a dowry. Zhang Changsi, the second grandson of Murong Nobunaga, was granted the title of Prince of Penglai, and the land will be held forever.
The second thing is the edict to abdicate.
At seventy-four years old, Zhang Zhaoyuan doesn’t have that much energy anymore.
He estimated that he only had eight or ten years of good work, so it was really time to hand over the power to his son. The world belonged to young people.
On December 25, Zhang Zhao held his last court meeting in the Qianming Hall of Ziwei Palace and read out the edict himself.
From today on, he will retreat to the Shangyang Palace on the heights of Luoshui, northwest of Luoyang, the sacred capital, and will be called the Supreme Holy Emperor.
The smug Zhang Xianjing wanted to draft another hundred girls for his father to entertain him in his later years, but Zhang Zhao smiled and refused.
Because he was accompanied by the 35-year-old Little Queen Zhou who was the most beautiful, and the 32-year-old wife of the last caliph, Maimuna, the wife of the great foodie beauty.
Although in the eyes of young people, a beautiful mature woman in her thirties is already a mature lady, in the eyes of an old man in her seventies, she is a delicate little loli.
Moreover, these two are not only unparalleled in beauty, but also have status bonuses. With them at this age, there is really no need for bicycles.
Five days later, on the first day of the first lunar month, a grand enthronement ceremony was held in the Qianming Hall of Ziwei Palace.
In the eyes of his mother Cao Yanxi's joy and pride, Zhang Xianjing ascended the throne and became the second emperor of the Zhang Zhou Dynasty. He changed his name to Zhang Yu and his reign title of Xianyong.
Jiong means sunlight, which means shining on the earth.
Yong means unity, and also means grace and generosity.
Zhang Xianjing's reign clearly tells the people in this land that as long as they unite as one, everyone in the Han family will benefit, and a good day when everyone can be a decent person is coming.
. . . . .
In Damascus, Xiang Minzhong, secretary of the regent shogunate of the five extreme western provinces and Prime Minister of the Jin vassal state, led dozens of soldiers and swaggered into the court of the Fatimid Caliph Aziz.
Caliph Aziz looked at the former Oriental indifferently, and the ministers of the Fatimid Dynasty and the senior clergy of Tianfang Sect in the court also glared at Xiang Minzhong.
Xiang Minzhong was not afraid at all, he was just here to cause trouble, and he was sure that the Egyptians did not have the courage to do anything to him. Even if there was an accident, he would be famous in history.
"Your Highness Aziz, you are from Egypt, why bother to wade through this muddy water?"
Xiang Minzhong's words almost made Aziz's nose crooked with anger. You are the fucking outsiders, okay?
However, it was not easy for the dignified Caliph to quarrel with an envoy, so he could only say indifferently:
"No matter what the messenger says, nothing can hide the fact that you are the invaders. I am coming to Damascus to protect the Holy Religion. I will go back and tell the traitor Ansu that the martyrs will be waiting for him in Damascus."
Xiang Minzhong snorted coldly, "It seems that you are still unwilling to accept the reality. You still hold on to the decadent old ideas and are unwilling to accept fresh ideas. As everyone knows, the new truth has arrived on the land of the East!"
"The truth has come here a long time ago and will always be here. Only Mahmoud is the truth!" A big Ahong who was so angry that he was shaking all over shouted loudly.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Minzhong immediately caught some of the verbal mistakes he made due to his anger, and retorted with his halberd finger.
For Xiang Minzhong, if he succeeds and retreats safely, he can return to China and enter the center, and if he fails, he can leave his name in history. No matter how he looks at it, it's a good deal.
"I warn you, Mahmoud is only one of the five sages of the revelation. He is not the truth, he is just a preacher of the truth.
When the last sage has come to the earth, if you are still stubborn, then you are all sinners!
Allah will send down heavenly punishment and let the heavenly soldiers and heavenly kings who have mastered the truth judge your sins! "
The theory of the Six Methods Sect has now evolved again, and the Confucian scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty created the concept of the Five Sages of the Apocalypse.
That is to say, Confucius, Sakyamuni, Jehovah, Mahmud, and Zhang Zhao are designated as the five human sages who have accepted the revelation.
Combined with Laozi's transformation of Hu Jing, Laozi is regarded as the ferryman of truth.
In the classics of the Six Methods Sect, the only true god in the world is Heaven, who controls the laws of the world. Heaven chose Laozi and Li Er as the messenger of enlightenment in the chaos.
So Laozi first enlightened Confucius, making him enlightened and polite.
Later, he inspired Sakyamuni to found Buddhism.
Then enlighten Jehovah and then there is Da Qin's method.
There is a great way to enlighten Mahmoud.
Finally, Zhang Zhao was enlightened outside Yumen Pass and asked to go to Tianzhu to find the truth.
At this point, Buddha Sakyamuni changed into something like acting as a teacher and recruiting disciples. He enlightened Zhang Zhao on behalf of the way of heaven, and Zhang Zhao founded the Six Dharma Sect that relied on Buddhism.
These five people are the Five Sages of the Apocalypse, with Confucius being the first and Zhang Zhao being the last.
And since Zhang Zhao, there will no longer be sages from the apocalypse, only human sages who have self-enlightenment.
This move is very powerful, because from now on, the Liufa Sect no longer needs to fight religious wars.
You believe in the Great Qin Law, and he believes in the Great Food Law, it doesn’t matter! You can believe it, you can believe it.
As long as you recognize the five sages of the Apocalypse, who told you to play with the Apocalypse and the prophets?
Once these religions recognize the Five Sages of the Apocalypse, their systems will appear to have collapsed but remain intact on the outside.
The Six Dharma Sects can suddenly become participants in sectarian disputes in any religion, instead of being heretics.
From then on, when various religions encountered internal affairs, they could even ask Zhang Zhao to make a decision.
The last apocalyptic sage, the only remaining prophet of all mankind in the world, is so powerful.
However, the people who promoted this theory at full power were the imperial courts and Confucian scholars in China. Even within the Liufa Sect, many people still believed that Zhang Zhao was a god. They were very concerned about reducing the Buddha and the Supreme Being to the sages of the Apocalypse. Unsatisfactory.
This has cast a mysterious veil of uncertainty on the direction of the Six Methods Sect hundreds of years later.
But now, war is the only resort.
The new book is expected to be released this weekend, alas! There was too little information, and what I found in the early stage conflicted with the ideas later on, and it almost caused the tiger's dog brain to shut down.
