Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 269 Yelubei and Yeluruan

In April 936, the Guiyi Army agreed to form a tribute mission of more than [-] people, consisting of Yaqian Neiduzhi Ambassador, Jiedu Yaqian Arya Jia Yanchang as the main envoy, and Hexi Duseng Tong Longbian as the deputy envoy. Dunhuang sent an envoy to the imperial court.

This mission is said to be a tribute horse, but the biggest task is to investigate and deal with Cao Yuanzhong, inspect the school Situ, and Guasha two states to deal with the fallen envoy of Abbot and the governor of Shazhou, as well as to serve as envoy of the rebel army for Zhang Zhaoqiu.

In order not to make the court suspicious, Zhang Zhao deliberately selected five high-quality horses from among his three generations of hard-blooded BMWs, and presented them to the emperor as tributes.

However, Zhang Zhao estimated that Li Congke, the last emperor of the later Tang Dynasty, would most likely not be able to enjoy these few BMWs.

Because at the same time Zhang Zhao sent out the tribute mission, Li Congke formally ordered Shi Jingtang, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong, to be the envoy of Tianping Jiedu, in an attempt to weaken Shi Jingtang's military power.

Of course Shi Jingtang refused to be transferred, and even directly accused Li Congke of taking the throne illegally, and should immediately give up the throne to Xu Wang Li Congyi, officially kicking off the prelude to rebellion.

Eight months later, in December, Li Congke set himself on fire in Xuanwu Tower with his mother, Empress Dowager Cao, wife Empress Liu, and Prince Li Chongmei.

That's why Zhang Zhaocai was willing to be canonized by famous horses and treasures. If he was late, these two positions would be canonized by Shi Jingtang.

In particular, the post of Guiyi Army Envoy can only be conferred by the Later Tang Dynasty, and the Later Tang Dynasty is also the Tang Dynasty. If Shi Jingtang was canonized by an emperor like Shi Jingtang, what is there to talk about Guiyi?
At the same time, this has another advantage, that is, it can help Zhang Zhao get the official position of Hexi Jiedu envoy while having the position of Guiyi army envoy.

If it hadn't been for the change in the Central Plains, it would have been impossible for Zhang Zhao to concurrently serve as the Jiedu Envoy of Hexi and the envoy of the Guiyi Army. Everyone knows how terrible the Jiedushi of the Guiyi Army who controls Hexi is.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once said, "A general from Kansai is so empty!" "The land of Hexi has always been a place where famous generals come forth in large numbers and the folk customs are sturdy. Not only generals, but also fierce soldiers.

In this place, various Qiang, Tubo, Tuyuhun and Han people live together, learning from each other, um, learning, both culturally and physically.

This has led to the fact that the soldiers in the Hexi area are very powerful in combat, but they are not strong now because no one can knead them together, especially kneading them together with righteousness.

Therefore, although the Central Plains court did not seem to pay attention to Hexi, and was unable to pay attention to Hexi, it was when Hexi was in chaos.

If there were to be a Jiedushi larger than the Hexi Jiedushi, who ruled over eleven prefectures of Guasha, Gansu, Liangmin, Shankuolanhe, and Tao, the Central Plains court would not be surprised.

So Zhang Zhao had to ask for the title of Guiyi Army envoy now, and the Tang court would definitely approve it. After getting the Guiyi army envoy, Zhang Zhao entered Liangzhou, and then asked for the title of Hexi Jiedu envoy.

At this time, it is estimated that the later Tang Dynasty is already in danger. As long as Zhang Zhao chooses to send an envoy before December, it can be said that he was invited by the Tang Dynasty and granted by the Jin Dynasty.

Moreover, Shi Jingtang's goods can even be sold in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and Yelu Deguang, who is ten years younger than him, can recognize his father. He probably doesn't care much about appointing an envoy of the Guiyi Army as the Hexi Jiedu envoy.

Even if you don’t care about it, Zhang Zhao can immediately jump up and stand in the perspective of righteousness and yell at him. Forgive him, Shi Jingtang dare not say anything. You just came to the throne and Liangzhou came to join you. What else do you think? Woolen cloth?

Before leaving, Zhang Zhao deliberately summoned Longbian, the governor of Hexi, and that's right, he summoned him.

Originally, monks and officials such as Hexi Du Sengtong and Guashadu Sengtong had special status in the whole Hexi.

The appointment of the Du Sangtong was recommended by the Buddhists themselves, and it was enough to report to the Jiedushi of the Guiyi Army, and not be appointed by the Jiedushi.

When Cao Yijin was here, he could not interfere with the appointment of the Du Sang Tong, not even Zhang Yichao back then.

But Zhang Zhao can do it, how many grades of monks are you under the command of the capital?Can it be bigger than the King of Dharma?

Moreover, Zhang Zhao's dharma king is not only recognized by Tianzhu, Anxi and Qiangtang, but also recognized by Hexi Buddhism.

When he was crowned at the Sumoruo Temple, the Buddhism in the three states of Guashasu also sent the first eminent monk to participate.

This is what Zhang Zhao deserved after defeating the Tianfang believers, recovering Shule, the center of Anxi Buddhism, rebuilding Shule Dayun Temple, and going to Tianzhu to protect the Dharma.

Even if he has only a few thousand people, the title of Dharma King of the Buddhist sect is well deserved, and no one dares to disobey it.

Therefore, Long Bian, the governor of the capital of Hexi, respected Zhang Zhao very much. If you dare not be respectful, if you dare to stab him, then you must be dishonest. Zhang Zhao even dared to say that the Dharma that Long Bian practiced was false, and he was expelled from the monkhood.

The name Long Bian sounds like a Han Chinese, but in fact he is from Yanqi.

Back then, the Long family of Yanqi King was even one of the five surnames and three king families of the Anxi Army.

However, after Yanqi was captured by the Tubo people, the Long family chose to surrender, and was then moved to Suzhou to settle down by the Tubo people.

Therefore, when Long Bian came in, Zhang Zhao was not surprised at all that he looked like a Scythian.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, mainly because Zhang Zhao was recalling the loyalty of the five surnames and three kings to the Tang Dynasty, and asked Bai Congxin, Xue Shouli, Pei Tongyuan and others to meet him.

Together with Qiucibai, Ningyuanxue, Shulepei, Yanqilong and the close relationship between Zhang Zhao and Khotan's Li family, the five aboriginal kings in Anxi during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty all survived.

"Since we are all in the same family with Du Sengtong, then we will not talk about the two families. We are all descendants of Tang Zhongliang, so we should support each other.

The next day the dynasty is strong, and when the heavenly soldiers are sent westward, the glory of the ancestors can also be restored.

Du Sengtong, the Long family is multiplying in Suzhou, and the supply of rice, grain, meat and oil is still sufficient? "

Well, in just half an hour, Zhang Zhao and Long Bian became his own family.

Long Bian smiled wryly. Now the Long family in Suzhou is divided into two parts. Upper Suzhou is attached to the Guiyi Army, and Lower Suzhou is controlled by the Uighurs in Ganzhou.

The Guiyi Army is better, and they want a name. They just pay tribute to cattle and sheep every year. The Ganzhou Uighurs are different, and they have been eating away at the land of Suzhou.

Suzhou is the Jiuquan of later generations. The land is relatively barren. There are [-] to [-] Long family members and [-] to [-] Ganzhou Uyghurs here.

"In the words of King Hui, the livelihood of the people in Suzhou is difficult. The ordinary people, let alone meat oil, can eat [-]% of their fill throughout the year, which is considered a good year. In addition, the Uyghur persecution in Ganzhou is getting worse, it's like living in a sea of ​​​​suffering!"

"It's all due to the weakening of the dynasty! In the past, the Uighurs in Ganzhou should have lived in the grasslands. How dare they occupy the prefectures and counties here, but a certain one is ready to destroy the Yaogeluo family."

If you want to unite people, you must find an enemy for everyone, and it happens that Ganzhou Uighur pigs don't like dogs.

They not only bullied the Long family in Suzhou, but also the Dadan people on the grassland and the Gamo in Liangzhou.

Moreover, when Hexi is almost full of Buddhist believers, the upper class of Uighurs in Ganzhou still stubbornly believe in Manichaeism, which is simply a natural target for scapegoating.

When it came to cleaning up the Uighurs in Ganzhou, Long Bian nodded in agreement, but before he could speak, Bai Congxin touched his chin and suddenly said something.

"Since the life in Suzhou is so hard, why don't you Yanqi people return to Yanqi? I heard that the Great Sage Emperor of Khotan intends to conquer the Uighurs in Gaochang, if..."

Halfway through speaking, Bai Congxin pretended to glance at Zhang Zhao, and immediately shut his mouth. Long Bian's heart felt hot, and his whole body felt as uncomfortable as ants crawling around.

The general range of Yanqi at this time is the later Bayingoleng Mongol Autonomous Prefecture. This is definitely a good place with luxuriant water plants and fertile land in Anxi!

Kuleer Xiangli and Bosten Lake are all here, which is comparable to Jiuquan where Suzhou is located.

But Bai Congxin didn't say anything more, and Long Bian didn't want to ask any more questions, but he secretly remembered that it would be great if he could return to Yanqi and restore the royal family of the Long family.

"Dharma King summoned the monk to come here, and he must have given instructions. If there is an order, he must go all out and serve his life wholeheartedly!"

What Zhang Zhao wants is this effect, because what he wants Long Bian to do is very important, and he must go all out to complete it.

"A few days ago, a certain person went to Kaiyuan Temple to pay homage to the Buddha. At night, he suddenly had a dream. In the dream, Bodhisattva Wei Tuo told me that in Luoyang, the eastern capital, there was King Yelubei of Khitan Dongdan.

Her daughter is quite Buddha-nature, and she is a rare jade girl treasure. Luoyang, the eastern capital, is changing every day, so let someone do his best to protect her!

The capital monk ordered this to go to the Eastern Capital, but he can stay for a while. If there is a change, he should protect one or two for a certain person. If he can bring it back to Dunhuang, that would be even better.

This matter is very important, if you want to use gold and silver, open the envoy!A certain person has prepared a full [-] guan! "

Although Long Bian was ready to be assigned a major task by Zhang Zhao, he was taken aback by what Zhang Zhao said, and his face showed a look of constipation.

This jade girl treasure is one of the seven treasures of the wheel-turning holy king, and she is a stunning woman with Buddha nature.

If other people asked him, the capital monk, to help find a woman, Long Bian could jump up and knock his head to one side.

But the Holy King of Wheel Turning had said it, so it had to be carried out. Bai Congxin, who was standing by, almost didn't laugh out loud, and asked a highly respected monk to find a woman for him, and Dafa King Zhang was able to do it.

Zhang Zhao smiled smugly, you know a chicken feather, you can understand my eyes, who is this Dongdan king Yelubei?That is the eldest son of Yelu Abaoji!

Because he was more inclined to Sinicization, he was squeezed out of the throne by his younger brother Yelu Deguang, and he had to float to the Central Plains in the end.

But he has a special status!He was supposed to be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and Yelubei's son, Yeluruan, later returned to the Liao Kingdom to become the emperor, for Emperor Shizong of the Liao Dynasty.

If he took the opportunity to get the granddaughter of Yelu Abaoji and the younger sister of Liao Shizong in the future, wouldn't it be the name of meddling in the internal affairs of the Liao Kingdom?
Of course, it is useless when the Central Plains is weak, but what about the Central Plains when it becomes stronger?
And decades later, Liao Shizong Yeluruan was murdered by his clan Yelucha, and his whole family died. The throne finally fell into the hands of Liao Muzong Yelujing because there was no heir.

What if at this time, the emperor of the Central Plains sent Yeluruan's nephew to intervene?Nothing is impossible!
When Zhang Zhao had enough fists at that time, this was the best opportunity to control the Khitan people.
