Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1033 God's people have high and low

Tubo, Shannan.

At the foot of the high Yala Xiangbo Mountain, the Yalong River flows through, and at the foot of the mountain on both sides of the river is the fertile Yalong River Valley nourished and irrigated by the Yalong River.

Yongbulakang Palace, the palace built by the first generation of Zanpu in Tubo, is also the first palace in Tubo.

This palace has a history of 800 years. In the eyes of the Tubo people, although the Tubo Zanpus of the later dynasties would build palaces, this palace has a special status and a special meaning.

In the past 800 years, since the first generation of Zanpu Niechi Zanpu established hereditary system in Tubo, there have been 32 generations of Zanpu until now.

The Tubo people in Yalong built canals, opened up farmland, irrigated the farmland, and plowed the land with wooden plows in the southern part of Shannan, and gradually became powerful.

During the fifteenth generation of Zanpu, Tubo officially established Qiongjie as its capital and became a tyrant in Tibet.

"Yongbulakang Palace means doe, and it got its name because the palace was built on Tashici Mountain, and the mountain was shaped like a doe."

Gal Dongzan walked in front of the Qin envoy and explained the name of the palace to the Qin envoy. The last time Dongzan went to Qin as an envoy, he asked his wife to discuss peace, but he was detained in the end. Instead, he was reunited with his uncle in Chang'an, Central Plains.

After being detained, he was demoted to a slave by the Qin court, and sent to Zhongnan Mountain to be a charcoal burner slave in the palace charcoal field under the servant province. The bitter thing is that as soon as the fire is turned off, you have to go in through the narrow door of the charcoal cellar to take out the freshly burnt charcoal.

The inside is extremely hot, and the smell is pungent. The most terrible thing is that sometimes the wood inside has not been completely extinguished. As soon as the cellar door is opened, the charcoal will ignite in the wind, and soon the charcoal will become hot coal.

But the charcoal field was reluctant to waste it, so they ordered the charcoal slaves to grab the time to carry out the charcoal. While carrying it, they also sent people to water the inside, so the inside became more stuffy and hot, and even fainted from the heat.

The Tibetans come from the plateau and are not afraid of the cold, but they are most afraid of the heat.

Although the time for burning charcoal in Zhongnan Mountain was not long, only a month, but this month has left an indelible memory for Gal Dongzan.

Fortunately, Tubo asked for marriage again. This time instead of asking for the princess, he asked Daqin to marry the princess. Daqin agreed, and the two families got married because of this. Gar, a Tubo nobleman, was finally able to leave the Zhongnanshan charcoal field.

After finally returning to Tubo with the Qin mission, they set foot on the land of the Yalong River Valley again, and came to the Yongbulakang Palace again. Gal was so excited that he shed tears.

Nangri Lunzan, because Gar was familiar with the Qin people, appointed him to be responsible for receiving the Qin people's mission.

"What does Lacan mean?" Liu Rengui, who followed the ambassador, asked.

"Yongbulakang is the pronunciation of our Tubo, translated into Chinese, Yongbu means doe, and Lakang means temple. This temple is the first palace built by the first Zanpu in Tibet. It has a history of more than 800 years, and after 31 Zamps, now every summer, we Zamps will bring the princess to live here for a period of time.”

Liu Rengui secretly remembered that Tubo, a small southern barbarian state, has a history of 800 years, and has gone through 31 Zanpu. He used to think that Tubo was just an unknown small state, just like other Habayashi men in Chang'an. Woolen cloth.

800 years of history, which is enough to be respected.

For powerful opponents, one must respect them, which Habayashiro mentioned when he listened to the emperor's lecture.

"Goguryeo outside the pass is only 700 years old. I can't imagine that your Tubo country has a longer history than them."

"That's natural. I, Tubo, are the people of the gods. The first Zanpu to the seventh Zanpu are all illusions of the gods. They all descended from the heavens along the rope of light, and came to Tubo to serve as Zanpu and complete the task. Afterwards, he returned to the heaven along the rope of light. Later, when the eighth Zanpu was in office, because the rope of light was broken, Zanpu stayed in Tubo ever since.”

For such a legendary story, Liu Rengui just laughed.Which tribal nation does not have a few such stories about the origin of myths, including Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, and Turks that were wiped out by the Great Qin Dynasty.

Gal is still there proudly.

"I've also heard of Goguryeo, but they can't compare with us. We are the people of the gods."

"Although Goguryeo has only been established for 700 years, they were founded by Prince Buyeo, and the state of Buyeo has a history of 700 years. Even if the overlapping time in the middle is not counted, Buyeo and Goguryeo have a history of more than 900 years, far longer than your Tubo. As for our Huaxia, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, then through the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then to the Sui Dynasty, until our Great Qin Dynasty, that is thousands of years of history."

Galton was at a loss for words.

The Tubo people talked about 800 years of history, 31 generations of Zanpu, it was passed down by word of mouth, and the lyrics were sung, but they didn't even have any exact written records.But the Han people say that they have a civilization of thousands of years in China, which is recorded in many historical books, even if it is only counted from Xia, it has a history of 3000 years now.

"Speaking of it, my Huaxia should be counted from the beginning of Pangu's creation of the world. It is said that Pangu created the world, and then Nuwa mended the sky and created man..." The ambassador was also very interesting. The story of Gar's seven Zanpu gods descending from the earth has been compared.

Your gods can only go down to earth along the light rope, and if the light rope is broken, they can’t go back. Our Chinese gods are so powerful that they directly opened up the earth and created the world.

"I heard earlier that you Tibetans were transformed from monkeys."

Gal was stunned, although he felt that the monkey turned into a human being was a curse, but he couldn't refute it.Because according to the stories handed down from their ancestors, not only the Tubo people were transformed from monkeys, but also the people in U-Tsang and the plateau were transformed from monkeys.

It is said that there are three sacred peaks in Gongburi Mountain in Tibet, and there is a god monkey practicing on the edge of the sacred mountain. As a result, the Rakshasa witch came to seduce him.

The god monkey refused to break the precept, but in the end, the witch threatened to commit suicide. If the god monkey didn't become a kinsman with her, she would keep company with demons, hurt all spirits every day, eat thousands of lives at night, and give birth to countless little demons, making Xue The domain became the land of Rakshasa.

Later, for the sake of the common people in the snow region, the god monkey asked the Bodhisattva for instructions, and was allowed to marry the witch, and then gave birth to six monkeys.

The six monkeys multiplied into five hundred.

There were too many monkeys, but the fruit in the forest was not enough, so the god monkey went to the Bodhisattva, and got the non-self-growing grains. After eating the non-growing self-growing grains, the five hundred little monkeys had short hairs and tails, and they could speak. became human.

These five hundred monkeys are the ancestors of the tribes and states in the Snow Region, and of course the ancestors of the Tubo people.

"My Chinese ancestors were made by Nuwa out of divine soil, but you Tubo people were transformed from monkeys, ouch, ha ha!" A group of Qin people stood in front of the Yongbulakang Palace, laughing.

Gal Dongzan and the other Tubo people were deeply ashamed, they were really incomparable, they always felt that they were several grades lower than the Qin people.
