Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 806 Power and Human Heart

Although it was already winter in Talas City, and the snowflakes were falling in pieces, the scene outside the city was in full swing. Tens of thousands of healthy women, peasant husbands and even soldiers were working together.

They transported firebricks made of clay dug from afar to the east of the city one by one, where craftsmen from Khotan were commanding more soldiers and peasants to build a large temple with their own hands. .

The shape of this temple is completely different from the Buddhist temples in the Western Regions full of Tianzhu style.The cornices and bucket arches are laid out on the central axis, which is Chinese style at first glance.

"When the Supreme Heaven is in the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, I see the misery of all beings." The long Sutra of the Supreme Heaven to Relieve Disasters and Calamities was sung and recited.

The captured civilians from all over the country are not qualified to participate in the construction at all. It is a reward for them to transport some soil for burning bricks and burnt fire bricks.

The people who built this temple were either soldiers and civilians from the grasslands, the Central Plains, and Anxi, or Guo Tianfang and Chi Tian, ​​who were loyal ministers and righteous men who would not submit to Guo Guangyi in Suiye. Eligibility to participate.

Qu Jiegu carried a basket of heavy firebricks on his back, and the braces made of kudzu vines were deeply cut into the flesh.

But Qu Jiegu didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he was still singing loudly, as if what he was carrying on his back was not a firebrick weighing sixty or seventy catties, but the weight of faith.

A six-story pagoda was built in a very short time. Looking at the scene of soldiers and peasants working in full swing in the distance, a few monks who are good at painting are hurrying to sketch, and some other monks who are good at masonry work The monk is also carving on a huge stone tablet.

Dade Mingyuan looked at Qu Jiegu, who had done the most work, smiled kindly, and waved to him.

This great virtuous man of Mingyuan came from the Zhang family in Shazhou, so he is considered to be the cousin of Zhang Shengren, although he has already produced five clothes.

In today's Six Dharma Schools, there are quite a few great virtues from the Zhang family in Shazhou, because Dunhuang, Shazhou was originally a Buddhist country, and the Zhang family has been devout Buddhists for generations.

When Zhang Yichao was in his twenties, when he went to Luoxie to meet Zanpu to accept his official position, he also went to Rasa to study scriptures.

Rasa is the predecessor of the Jokhang Temple, and later replaced Luoxie and became the name of the city - Lhasa.

Of course, on the way to meet Tubo Zanpu, Zhang Yichao saw the scene of Tubo Zanpu's brutal rule, the nobles fighting fiercely, and the people living in hell, which further strengthened his determination to return to the country.

Thanks to the ancestors' devout faith in the Buddha, quite a number of Zhang family members participated in the Six Dharma School from its infancy.

The Zhang family in Shazhou did not contribute much in the process of Zhang Tie's unification of the world, but they made great contributions to the formation of the Six Dharma School and the spreading of the Dharma everywhere.

For example, Mingyuan Dade's elder brother, Mingming Dade, and his nephew, Zhang Liesong, the father and son of Jianhe Dharma preaching capital, are all members of the Zhang family who died during the journey of Dharma teaching.

The important reason behind the rapid return of the Miaojia people in Tanman Mountain (Tangnu Wulianghai) is that Zhang Liesong and his son Zhang Liesong, who served as the Dharma teaching capital of Jianhe, and hundreds of monks under him, Ten years of missionary work against the wind and snow.

The Jianhe River was called the Yenisei River in later generations. The Shygaz people who believed in Tengger and were brave and good at fighting were nomadic in this vast land.

For some reason, Mingyuan Dade watched the temple being built quickly, and suddenly thought of the more than 200 monks of all ranks who died in the Zhang family and even the entire Six Dharma School during the teaching of the Dharma in these years, his eyes were a little moist .

"Son, come here and tell me your name!" Dade Mingyuan slowly stretched out his hand towards Qu Jiegu.

Qu Jiegu hurriedly put down the strap on his back, trotted all the way to Dade Mingyuan and bent over to fold his hands together, his head was just so low that Dade Mingyuan could touch the top of his head.

Dade Mingyuan stretched out his right hand and gently put it on the top of Qu Jie's bone, "My child, may the Supreme God bless you. Go over there and leave your name, so that the Supreme Heaven will know your achievements .”

Qu Jiegu was very pleasantly surprised, as if the bones in his body had lost weight, and he walked as if he was stepping on clouds.

It turned out that these masons and monks would collect the names of some devout believers, engrave them on stone tablets, and stand them in the temples. This is another usage of merit tablets in the Six Dharma Schools.

A low exclamation sounded from the busy crowd, and everyone looked at Qu Jiegu with extreme envy.

They believe that as long as the monk engraves his name on this stele of merit and virtue, the Supreme Heaven will know his achievements, and he will be able to go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss after death.

Bai Congxin and Lu Sanlang stood side by side in the distance, and the two of them also symbolically participated in the labor. Seeing this scene at this moment, I don't know what I was thinking.

Especially Lu Sanlang, before going out of the fortress, he didn't have much feeling for the power of the Six Dharma Schools.

Only when he got out of the fortress did he realize that the role of the Six Dharma Schools was even higher than that of these warriors at certain times.

Qu Jiegu watched with his own eyes the craftsman carved his name on the merit tablet, and then walked down with ease.

The people around rushed up and stroked his hands and chest with their hands, as if Qu Jiegu was blessed with supreme blessings, and they could share a little by touching them.

Seeing this, Lu Ketu next to Lu Sanlang also eagerly took off the gorgeous silk and satin clothes he was wearing, revealing the sheepskin jacket inside, and walked directly into the busy crowd. It seemed that he also wanted to get this kind of treatment. .

After a long while, Bai Congxin smiled and said to Lu Sanlang: "Tonight's celebration banquet, I want Hu Erlang to host it, what do you think?"

Lu Sanlang also said with a smile: "Hu Erlang is the general manager of Zhengxi appointed by the sage, so it is reasonable and reasonable for him to preside over it."

After getting the news, Hu Guang rode over quickly, "The great achievement of defeating Ye Huguo this time was accomplished by most of the guards and their sons.

If the servant failed to capture Shiguo City, he could barely be regarded as a defeated general, how could he host a celebration banquet. "

Bai Cong smiled, walked up to Hu Guang, and handed Hu Guang a bowl of steaming salty milk tea.

"What a great achievement, the defeated army, this time I waited thousands of miles to punish the disobedient ministers, regain the lost ground of the court, and shock the surrounding barbarians, all of which are great achievements.

And for this celebration banquet, it is most suitable for you, Torajiro, to host it. "

Hu Guang understood what Bai Congxin meant, so he no longer declined.

In his life, he has encountered two people in Bai Congxin's situation.

The first one was Murong Nobunaga, Hu Guang was worried that he would be bought by Shi Jingtang, and went to warn him, but later Murong Nobunaga used his actions to prove his loyalty to the saint.

The second is his father, Hu Cile. Hu Guang always believed that his father would not go to the point of no return, but in the end he ended up with the death of both parents in Xuzhou City.

Therefore, Hu Guang is still very worried about Bai Congxin. Although this is one of the top generals of the Yuan Cong faction and the most confidant minister of the saint, his heart is complicated.

Hu Guang once thought that Murong Xinchang would betray, because what Shi Jingtang could give at that time was a hundred times more than that of the saint, but in the end the facts proved that Murong Xinchang was indeed the elder brother of the saint.

He thought that a person as smart as his father would have no bottom line, but he didn't know until that night in Xuzhou that his father's bottom line was so low that it was infinitely close to zero.

Power is a devil scarier than all devils, this is the lesson Hu Guang learned from his blood and tears.

However, judging from the present, Bai Congxin has not yet fallen into the abyss of power, and the Six Dharma Schools can still exert an excellent check and balance effect on Bai Congxin, making him dare not forget his roots.

As for Lu Sanlang, this one is the safest one, because even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the guts.

If Lu Sanlang really dared to betray the saint, his adoptive son who was working and believed in the Six Dharma School the most devoutly, would be able to blow his brains out with one blow.

The scale of the celebration banquet was extremely grand, and the soldiers who had worked hard for a year were finally able to enjoy it.

Because starting from mid-October, there will be at least three months of heavy snow here, and this time is just right for repairing.

Sure enough, Bai Congxin and Lu Sanlang did not receive rewards for participating in the celebration banquet. Only Hu Guang, with the assistance of Li Chongju, Zhang Mei and others from the Zhaowu Scholars' Office, used the method of remote reporting of the victory to report the merits of the soldiers to the court.

Among them, rewards such as gold, silver, goods, etc., are cashed out now, and the promotion of meritorious service, military rank and even titles all need to be announced by angels after the imperial court returns.

In the banquet hall where cattle were slaughtered, only Bai Congxin and Lu Sanlang were a little uneasy. After all, how many people the saint could allow them to stay here, and how to distribute the captive 20 to [-] tribes was up to the saint.

In the snowstorm, in the forbidden city of Bukhara, the young Saleh Hajib also received two completely different letters.

One was from Talas, and the people of the Zhou Dynasty sent a letter to ask Emir Hamid to hand over Amir, the governor of Shiguocheng who killed the general of Zhou Dynasty.

The other letter was written by Amir himself. In the letter, he not only expressed his deep remorse for disrespecting the Amir, but also claimed that he would follow the Amir's orders unconditionally.

He also explained in detail that the Zhou people had the intention of taking Shiguo City and opening up the passage from Baishui City to Juzhanti. He hoped that Saleh would understand the danger and send troops to help.

The people below were arguing in a circle, some said that the Zhou people were far away and could not occupy the Shiguo City.

It is said that the people of Zhou are very ambitious. Compared with Amir, a disgusting wild dog, they should be more worried about the greedy wolf of Zhou people. They must support Amir to defend Shiguo City.

Saleh heard that one head has two big heads, and it seems that everyone's words make sense.

For a moment, he suddenly felt that he had underestimated Emil's father on the hospital bed. It was really not easy to choose the right one from so many answers!

　A friend is getting married tomorrow, and I need help to get married. It is estimated that there is not enough time, and there are some Calvins recently.If I can spare time, I will update a chapter of about [-] words. If I don’t have time, I can only ask everyone for a day off, but I will try my best to keep updating.
