Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 280 Liangzhou Three Points
Liangzhou City, Dayun Temple, this mighty temple is one of the eight scenic spots in Liangzhou.

It was originally the palace of the former Liang King Zhang Gui, but it was changed into Dayun Temple during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and it was called Huguo Temple in Xixia. Later generations can still see its magnificence and majesty. The bronze bell of Dayun Temple in Wuwei is famous far and wide.

The status of this temple is unmatched by any temple in Hexi at this time.

Moreover, the Dayun Temple in Liangzhou is also inextricably linked with the Dayun Temple in Shule, Anxi, and the Sumoruo Temple in Khotan.

The last official monk in the four towns of Anxi in Shule Dayun Temple came from Dayun Temple in Liangzhou. After Tubo captured Shule Dayun Temple, the disciples of the monk commander were protected by the Khotan royal family. Many people are the founders of Khotan Sumoruo Temple.

The current presiding officer of Dayun Temple in Liangzhou once presided over Sanzang Dharma Master Sangharama at Sumoruo Temple in Yutian to practice "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra" and "Lotus Sutra Outline". name.

At this time, the Buddhist gate of Dayun Temple in Liangzhou was wide open, and a team of about [-] monks proclaiming the name of Buddha came from Xuanwu Gate, the east gate, wearing the most ordinary black clothes.

The Xuanwu Gate in Liangzhou is extremely magnificent and vast, even surpassing the east gate of Chang'an City. Whenever imperial envoys and eminent monks come to Liangzhou, they will enter from here.

At this time, Liangzhou, although no longer the glory of the past, is still the largest city in Hexi, but the original structure of the city has been completely destroyed, replaced by a clear distinction between different ethnic groups.

In the Xuanwumen area of ​​the east gate, the Liangzhou Han people who still stick to the Han tradition and regard themselves as soldiers and horses of the imperial court live in concentrated communities.

There are two sources for this group of people. One is the descendants of the Li family in Guzang. Their ancestors are the fourteenth grandson of Li Guang, the famous general of the Han Dynasty, and Li Kan, the grandfather of Li Hao, the founder of Xiliang.

The Li family of Longxi, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, actually came from the Li family of Guzang. Li Kan was the tenth ancestor of the founding emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty, and the eleventh ancestor of Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

With this origin, even after the Tubo captured Liangzhou and even the whole of Hexi, most of the descendants of the Han people in Longyou, Hexi gradually became poor, only the Li family of Guzang persisted.

Speaking of a closer relationship, Zhang Zhao's fourteenth aunt's grandfather, Zhang Yichao's fourteenth daughter married Li Mingzhen, a general of the Guiyi Army, and their Shazhou Li family also came from the Guzang Li family.

It can be said that the Li family in Liangzhou is of the same family as Li Cunhui, and the Li Wenqian whom Zhang Zhao wants to expel is a direct descendant of the Li family in Guzang.

Back then when the Guiyi Army took Liangzhou, Zhang Yichao was able to destroy a giant city like Liangzhou with only [-] elite Pan Han soldiers. The Guzang Li family made a great contribution to the Guiyi army's expulsion of the Tubo people by connecting with various ministries in the end of the country.

The second source is that in the fourth year of Tang Yizong Xiantong, in order to compete with the Guiyi army for Liangzhou, the Tang court allocated funds to repair Liangzhou city defenses in this year. The imperial court then dispatched 500 people from Yunzhou Tianping Army to Liangzhou westward to guard the place.

After the Huangchao Rebellion, Tang Ting completely lost the ability to control Liangzhou. Coupled with a series of changes, the two thousand and five hundred Yunzhou Tianping Army took root in Liangzhou.

At present, the Han people in the east of Liangzhou City are dominated by them. Together with the Guzang Li family, they have a total of more than [-] households and a population of [-]. They control the political power in Liangzhou and a large area of ​​fertile land outside the city.

And near the Chongde Gate in the west of Liangzhou City, the Sogdians lived in a settlement.

The term Gamo basically refers to the Tubo servant tribe of Tubo, which has a very complex composition, including Han Chinese, Tuyuhun people, Sogdians, and even Dangxiang people.

During the decades when Tubo ruled Hexi, these ethnic groups that gradually turned into Tubo were all called Gamo.

This group of Sogdians, headed by the Cao family, also had the surnames of Kang, An, and Shi.

They mastered most of Liangzhou's economic activities, mainly merchants, and there were nearly [-] households with more than [-] people. Of course, like the Han people above, not all lived in Liangzhou City.

The remaining Zhaowu Gate in the south and Tonghua Gate in the north are populated by ethnic groups who have already been highly Tuboized, most of them are descendants of the former Hexi Longyou soldiers, and a small part are Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Qiang and other ethnic groups.

Among them, the Tubo culture is relatively deep, and the surnames have become Du Lun, Su Lun, Cui Yan and other surnames with a strong Tubo color.

Those who think they have become the end of the age, but still retain their Han surnames include Zhou, Zhao, Ma, Xing, Lan, Wang and other clans.

This group of talents is the main body of the entire Liangzhou. They formed the Yanmo Liugu tribe, also known as the Yanmo Liufan, but they were in a suppressed position politically and economically.

At this time, Liangzhou was still on the eve of unification, and the local Tubo tribes had not yet had the strength to integrate the various tribes.

Zhou, Zhao, Wang and other Tibetanized Han families who were not so deeply Tuboized, although they had accepted the identity of Gamo, they still maintained some cultural characteristics of the Han people.

At the same time, as the most important source of Han people in Liangzhou City, the descendants of the Yunzhou Tianping Army and the Guzang Li family have not yet fallen, and there is still time for everything.

It would be too late if Guo Wei sent Shen Shihou to serve as Hexi Jiedu envoy more than ten years later.

When Shen Shihou, who was full of confidence, arrived in Liangzhou, his heart was soothed. All the descendants of the soldiers in Longyou, Hexi, were wiped out. , Guzang Li family was almost wiped out.

It can be said that at this time, Liangzhou is finally able to return to the Han, and it is also the last chance to bring back the Han people who have been reduced to the end.

Ten years later, Gamo's internal forces emerged in a folded manner. They unified Gamo Liufan and began to call themselves the Tubo Liugu tribe. The term Liangzhou Han people has disappeared for hundreds of years since then.

In Dayun Temple, Master Shanyuan tremblingly received two scriptures wrapped in silk and placed in a red sandalwood box.

The scriptures were written in Sanskrit and looked extremely old, but not only Master Shanyuan trembled with excitement, all the monks in Dayun Temple were very excited.

Because these two scriptures came from the Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu, and were hand-copied by King Bosni, the friend and disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha.

Chinese people have always believed in fortune, even Buddhist monks.

In addition, Chinese people respect teachers and reverence for the ancients. The status of such scriptures with great historical and religious significance in the hearts of Indian monks and Chinese monks is absolutely different.

"Master Baoyingzi, Master Huixing, Junior Brother Jakarama, please take your seat!"

After several eminent monks from Dayun Temple in Liangzhou calmed down, they invited the eminent monks of the Sangha to sit in the Buddhist hall.

Master Baoyingzi is the younger brother of Master Baotongzi, the first master of Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu, and he is an eminent monk from Tianzhu specially invited by Zhang Zhao to Hexi.

Master Huixing is the eldest disciple of Master Daozhen who was the last presiding master of Dayun Temple in Shule.

Yegalama is a disciple of Sinhalama in Sumoruo Temple.

All three of them were high-ranking monks called by Zhang Zhaozheng, and they came here specially for Dayun Temple in Liangzhou.

After a few people sat down, exchanged greetings for a while and then exchanged experiences and comprehensions of Buddhism for half an hour, Master Shanyuan, the abbot of Dayun Temple in Liangzhou, spoke slowly.

"Has Holy Wheel Dharma King decided to come to Liangzhou? This is a grand event for Buddhism! I wonder if there is any place in Dayun Temple where we can do something?"

The "Great Riding Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra" copied by King Pasenadi are not so easy to get. Master Shanyuan still understands this.

"Liangzhou is a city in the west of Hexi, and His Holiness decided to promote Buddhism in Liangzhou after several considerations.

Not only did they bring the Mahabharata Sutra and the Vajra Drape Sutra, but also the yogi's discourse handwritten by Master Xuanzang Tripitaka in the past, Shakyamuni Buddha's relics, and dozens of life-size sitting and standing statues followed.

This Buddhist relic comes from Shule Dayun Temple, which was bestowed by the golden wheel holy emperor Ze Tian Da Sheng Tian in the past. The standing and seated statues come from Nalanda Temple, Chaojie Temple and Feifei Temple in Tianzhu.

If these Buddhist treasures gather in Liangzhou, Dayun Temple, not to mention the leader Hexi, even Qingtang Xueyuan, Guanzhong Sanqin, will also honor Dayun Temple, and even build a Jialan specially for it, it is all possible. "

Among the three, of course Zhang Zhao trusted Monk Huixing the most. He was a descendant of the Anxi Army and had already been deeply bound to Zhang Zhao, so he usually said such things.

Master Shanyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help showing a very tempted expression.

If these treasures can stay in Dayun Temple in Liangzhou, as Master Huixing said, the leaders of Dayun Temple in Hexi Longyou, Qingtang Tubo, and Guanzhong Sanqin are just around the corner.

At that time, his abbot will also be able to keep his name in future generations and be admired by thousands of monks and believers forever.

Of course, Master Shanyuan also understood Master Huixing's last sentence. If Dayun Temple did not give the wheel-turning holy king, Yinlun Dharma King, the Dharma King, the Dharma King would build a new temple.

At that time, it was not as simple as Dayun Temple missing the opportunity.

With so many Buddhist treasures and the establishment of temples with powerful monks, whether Dayun Temple can maintain its current status is probably a big question mark.

Thinking of this, Master Shanyuan had already relented in his heart, "May I ask Master Huixing, if I don't know about this monastery, what can I do for the Holy Wheel Dharma King?"

"His Holiness heard that Hexi, the leader of Dayun Temple in Liangzhou, and the leaders of the Liugu Tribe at the end of Liangzhou, as well as in the Hehuang Valley, are all devout followers of Dayun Temple.

The Dharma King is coming to Liangzhou in a few days, and I hope Master Shanyuan can call all the leaders to discuss the matter of welcoming him. "

Yegalama said softly, the relationship between Liangzhou Dayun Temple and Khotan Suomaruo Temple is so close, of course Yegalama does not want Liangzhou Dayun Temple to conflict with Zhang Zhao. Yes know.

Master Shanyuan understood that Zhang Fawang, the great-grandson of Duke Zhang Taibao, really came for Liangzhou City, so he thought about his words.

"The six tribes at the end of the river are constantly at odds with each other. Although they respect the Bi Temple, it may not be easy for them to welcome the Dharma King into the city!"

Master Huixing smiled lightly, "The six tribes of the Momo didn't have many disputes with each other, but I'm afraid they have a lot of enmity with Li Liuhou, right? The King of France personally led [-] elite soldiers, and they came here to mediate the struggle between the two sides.

The status of Dayun Temple is detached, and I believe that the leaders of the six tribes of Yanmo will definitely give this face.

The Dharma King once said, what belongs to the Buddha belongs to the Buddha, what belongs to the human world should belong to the holy wheel-turning king, and the disputes should be resolved by the Dharma King. "

Master Shanyuan also smiled faintly, nodded his head lightly, and what he was waiting for was your return to the Buddha.

As long as Zhang Fawang can have this understanding, it is not difficult for Dayun Temple to thread the needle on his behalf. The six sects of Yanmo believe in Buddhism, and Master Shanyuan thinks he still has some face.

　There are very few materials in Liangzhou, and most of the tigers quoted related papers by Zhang Qingping, a master of Lanzhou University. The author's speculation and fictional processing, not historical facts.
