Gengyin (28) in June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
On the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, the Ministry of Etiquette will order the ministers, governors, ministers and officials above Zhongsan, or ministers from the six ministries and supervisors, as well as the clan's current Tuanlian envoys and above, to go to the southern suburbs to set up an altar and set up a class to invite the great ministers. He was given the posthumous title of emperor.
Edict: Respectfully obey.
The next day on Xinmao (29th), Lianggong and Zhao Xu received an audience from the ministers recommended by Lu Gongzhu in the Yanhe Hall.
Immediately after these new officials took office, Liu Zhi, Peng Ruli, Wang Zhan and others 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 exit Jiying Hall.
Today, Lu Wenqing, the minister of the Economic Affairs Bureau of Qinfeng Road and Tongzhilang, who was in charge of Gou Qinfeng Road, asked the minister to send some ministers to teach the Fan-Han archers on this road.
When the matter went to the capital hall, Li Qingchen, who also knew the Privy Council, wrote: Please send Qin Feng Road Economics and Strategy Department to select envoys to gather and teach him.
The imperial edicts of the two palaces sent Zhao Lang, Quan Tong to lift the Yongxing Army, and Qin Feng Road Baojia Hu Zonghui to concurrently serve as the promotion point to select archers to teach in order to correct the old shortcomings of Qin Feng Road Baojia, with special emphasis on not delaying the farming season.
And it is no longer easy to illegally assassinate weak archers.
June Renchen (30).
The two palaces issued an edict: Yanchen and Yanhe gathered together to discuss changing 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 Yuanyou's 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 promote 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 last 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 came after Sima Guang and Lu Gong just 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 Economics 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: In compliance with the imperial edict, I have arrived in Xizhou to take up my post. 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. I beg for guidance. When the holy temple is completed in the coming year, I beg for a great eminent person to preside over it.
Xiang Zonghui and others of the two palaces must carefully protect the Buddha's 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 responded to Xiang Zonghui's letter, they also asked people to give Xiang Zonghui, Gaogong Jihuqiu, Jibeibu and others to protect themselves from the cold. They were afraid that the sand and cold wind from the Xihe River would blow or freeze the Gao family. , Xiang’s two treasures.
Little did he know that at this moment, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji were very happy in Xizhou!
A brother of the Empress Dowager and a nephew of the Empress Dowager arrived in Xizhou, and there were powerful Han people in the area and leaders of the Tibetan and Qiang tribes.
They all held them high.
Give away land, give away people, give away girls.
Almost everything you ask for!
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 Tubo tribes in the Qing Tang Dynasty and those tribes close to the Xihe roadside defenses sent people and even their own tribesmen to come to Xizhou to pay homage to the Buddha's Tooth Relic.
Everyone was respectful and cautious.
After seeing 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 the self-packaging of these people, and it is also their need for dominance!
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.
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.
He 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 the adopted son of Dong Fei, Ali Gu was actually only less than ten years younger than Dong Fei.
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..." Qingtang Tubo General, who also personally commanded the army when Dong Xiang died, suppressed and subdued the Qingtang leaders for Ali Gu, Qing Yijie Guizhang, stood up and came to Ali Gu , said: "The people of Song Dynasty have the tooth relic of Buddha, and all the leaders are making a commotion..."
"Recently, many people, ignoring the Zanpu decree, went to Xizhou in Han Dynasty privately 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 the 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, who ruled the entire snow mountain plateau, had a few Buddha bone relics.
Unfortunately, with the death of the great Zanpu, Tubo fell into civil strife, and these Buddha bone relics have disappeared.
As for Qingtang and Tubo?
Naturally, there are no such holy objects.
In the past, there is no more!
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 Ali Gu and Qing Yijie Guizhang have realized that the relic will be like a magnet, attracting the entire Qing Tang and Tubo tribes.
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 various Tubo tribes who were afraid of nobles, his Zanpu was neither legal nor authentic.
Although Ali Gu had already killed many of 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 Zanpu!
Sacrosanct!
If in the future, the Song Dynasty sent a large army to send Muzheng back to his country, and even gave Muzheng a Buddha relic.
Ali Gu knew that all the tribes would betray him and turn to Mu Zheng!
This is absolutely unacceptable!
However, the Song people were too good at fighting!
Ali Gu was a little scared.
Once defeated, the consequences may be that the Song people will directly send Mu Zheng to Qingtang City to inherit his adoptive father's position as the chief of Miaochuan and the king of Wuwei.
Seeing Ali Gu's hesitant expression, Qing Yi Jie Guizhang could only sigh in his heart, and then persuaded: "Why don't Zan Pu go to my uncle from the Han family first and ask for a Buddha bone relic to be offered as an offering?"
"At the same time, contact the Xia Kingdom to ask for the daughter of the Queen Mother of Xia..."
"If my uncle from the Han family agrees, nothing will happen to him. If not... then he will join forces with the Xia Kingdom to advance..."
"The Xia people get Xihe, and I get the relics!"
Ali Gu shook his head: "Xia Guo is so ambitious!"
"I'm worried that the Xia people want not only Lanzhou and Xizhou, but they also want the Buddha Tooth Relic!"
"If the Xia Kingdom is allowed to obtain the relics..."
"The six parts of the Qing and Tang dynasties are about to fall apart before our eyes!"
To the Tibetan people of the Qing and Tang dynasties, the uncles of the Han family in the Central Plains at least still care about their feelings and give them dignity.
As long as you are respectful, you can get rewards and even assistance!
And Xia Guo...
That's a bad wolf!
He just wants to devour the Six Parts of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, and even has the intention of taking over the Snow Mountain!
"Send an envoy to Bianjing in advance!" Ali said: "Report the funeral to my uncle from the Han family, and request that I be canonized as the chief of Miaochuan and inherit the title of the late king!"
"Ask for the relic again!"
"If it doesn't work, think of another solution!"
Qingyi Jie Guizhang wanted to say something, but Ali Gu had already waved his hand and said: "There is no need to say any more, Supervisor!"
"I'm going to talk to Mrs. Joe!"
Mrs. Qiao is Dong Xiang's first wife and his adoptive mother.
The person who supported Ali Gu the most, it was Qiao who sent someone to notify Ali Gu on the night when Dong Xiang died of illness, so that Ali Gu could keep his mourning secret, strike first and conquer the six tribes.
Qingyi knotted his ghost seal, sighed, and could only retreat in frustration.
He saw it very clearly.
The six parts of the Qing and Tang dynasties are sandwiched between the Song and Xia dynasties.
If you want to survive, you must help Xia when Song is strong, and help Song when Xia is strong, to maintain balance.
Otherwise, once either side gains the upper hand, it may even eliminate the other side.
Then, Qing Tang and Tubo had only two choices: surrender or perish!
However, whether it is Dong Fei in the past or Ali Gu now.
They don’t even dare to break up with Song people!
This is because the people of Song Dynasty were very kind to them, with high officials and generous salaries and numerous rewards.
It's also because they are all afraid of being beaten!
I was frightened by those Song generals Wang Shao and Li Xian!
However, Li Xian is no longer in Xihe!
If the tiger is not in the mountains, what else are you afraid of?
Qing Yi and Gui Zhang can't figure it out!
He stepped out of Ali Gu's tent, turned back to find one of his tribesmen, and told him: "Take my token and go to the Xingqing Mansion of the Xia Kingdom to meet the Daxia Wuzu and the Queen Mother..."
Ali Gu didn't listen to him.
He plans to do it himself!
As long as it creates a fait accompli, Ali Gu can only admit it!
Note: Many historical researchers believe that Sima Guang was already the ruler with the mildest attitude towards the new law and the new party in the early period of Yuanyou, because at least Sima Guang only focused on policies and not people.
There was no persecution, no frame-up, or demotion.
Throughout the process, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and gave others dignity.
When Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu died, the demons and monsters came on stage, it was a wonderful event!
