Chapter 210 The Buddha Tooth Relic Makes a Storm

Gengyin (28) in June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

The Ministry of Rites, please order the ministers, ruling officials, senior official Zhongsan doctors or above, or ministers of the six ministries, ministers of supervision, and clan members to be above Renzheng Ren regiment training envoys to go to the southern suburbs to set up an altar on Dingyou (the fifth day of the lunar month). The posthumous posthumous title of Emperor Xing.

Edict: Respectfully follow it.

On Xinmao (29) the next day, the two palaces and Zhao Xu accepted the opinions of the ministers recommended by Duke Lu in the side hall of 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 registered their palace records and were issued bronze talismans that allowed them to enter and leave the Jiying Hall.

Today, Quan Guan Gou Qinfeng Road Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department, Tongzhi Lang Lu Wenqing asked the dispatch minister to point out the teaching of 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.

It is no longer easy to illegally assassinate weak archers.

June Renchen (30).

The two palaces issued an edict: "Yuanchen Yanhe Hall gathered to discuss the reform of the Yuan Dynasty."

After deliberation, they finally came up with the same year name as Zhao Xu's previous life.

The ministers unanimously agreed that Yuanyou's reign was very good.

Take Yuanfeng's yuan to show that he will not forget his father's career, and use the blessing of Jiayou to show that the emperor wants to honor the virtue of Daren Temple.

It is a harmonious year.

It is also a compromise between the old and the new parties.

It's just that in Zhao Xu's previous life, in the end, the old party reconciled the loneliness.

Under the coercion of radicals, what rationality, peace, and consideration for the country...

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 is 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 has a good starting point, and he really thinks about the country (at least Sima Guang himself thinks so).

The radicals after Sima Guang and Lu Gong just wanted to vent their anger in the Xining and Yuanfeng eras.

It started with the humiliation of Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun, and ended with the death of Cai Que.

The radicals finally provoked the largest and most intense party struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty.

On the same day, the Economic and Strategy Department of Huanqing Road said: Xixia sent Chen Wei envoy Wei Mo Duo, deputy envoy Lu Ze, Chen Yujin, etc. to enter the country from Huanqing Road.

Calculating the time, it should be Yongxing Army now.

It was also on this day that the Secretary of Finance and Finance of the Frontier Defense of Xihe Lanhui Road wrote to Zong Hui, saying: The ministers and others have served in Xizhou in accordance with the imperial decree, and have sent people to visit the mountains and rivers of Xizhou. The ministers and others respectfully respect the emperor According to His Majesty's decree, Mabang Mountain in Xizhou has been selected as the holy temple for the Buddha's relics to be enshrined in, begging for command, and waiting for the completion of the holy temple in the coming year, begging to send a great virtue 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, the scripture translation institute was ordered to select eminent monks and give them purple clothes 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.

But they didn't know that at this moment, Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji were very happy in Xizhou!
A younger brother of the empress dowager, and a nephew of the empress dowager, when they arrived in Xizhou, the Han people in the locality were powerful, or the leaders of the Tibetan and Qiang tribes.

They all held them high.

Send land, send people, send girls.

Almost anything 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.

Eyeballs are popping out.

Every day, an endless stream of tribal leaders and powerful people from all over the world come to Xizhou City to worship the Buddha Tooth Relic.

Even Qingtang Tubo, those tribes close to the border defense of Xihe Road, sent people, or even the tribe, to Xizhou to worship the Buddha tooth relic in person.

One by one respectfully, tremblingly.

Seeing the relic of the Buddha's tooth, he immediately knelt on the ground, kept kowtow, and kept chanting some foreign languages ​​that Xiang Zonghui and Gao Gongji couldn't understand.

After returning, he immediately told the tribesmen and slaves below him that he had worshiped the relic of the Buddha’s tooth, and saw how sacred the relic was, and what kind of Buddha’s light surrounded him. He vaguely saw it, and even heard the voice of the Buddha chanting—— This is naturally the self-packaging of these people, and it is also the need for their rule!
So, when Bianjing City received Xiang Zong's letter.

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 of Qingtang Tubo sent people hundreds of miles away to send the beams needed for the construction of temples.

I also ask for permission that after the temple is completed in the future, they can come to worship at all seasons!

Therefore, 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, this year, he is also close to fifty years old.

At this moment, Aligu looked at the assassin's golden seal bestowed on him by the uncle of the Han family in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

"Zanpu..." The Tubo general of Qingtang, also at the time of Dong Zhan's death, personally commanded the army, suppressed and subdued the leaders of Qingtang's various ministries on behalf of Aligu, Qing Yijie Guizhang, stood up, and came to Aligu , said: "Song people have Buddha tooth relics, and the heads of all ministries are 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 emperor of the Han family in the Central Plains.

But for the various ministries of the Qing and Tang Dynasties, the relic of the Buddha Sakyamuni is almost the same as the Buddha.

Going on a pilgrimage is a no-brainer!

It should be noted that even in the past, only when the great Trisong Detsan Tsampo ruled the entire snow-capped mountain plateau did he own 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, if there is no, there will be 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 Aligu once thought of going to worship at a certain moment!

"What should we do now?" Ali Gu asked Qingyi to tie the knot.

"In my opinion, it is better to unite with the Xia Kingdom and send troops to ask the Song people for the tooth relic!"

"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.

Even though Aligu had already killed many of his adoptive father's heirs!
However, there is Zanpu blood in Xizhou.

Brother Muzheng is the son of Xianzanpu Jiaosiluo!

Although they surrendered to the Song Dynasty and changed their surnames, in the eyes of the Tubo people, Zanpu was Zanpu!
Sacred and inviolable!

If in the future, the Song people sent a large army to send Mu Zheng back to the country, and even gave Mu Zheng a Buddha relic.

Ali Gu knew that all the ministries 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 directly sent Mu Zheng to Qingtang City to inherit the position of his adoptive father, the leader of Miaochuan and the king of Wuwei County.

Seeing Ali Gu's hesitant expression, Qing Yijie Guizhang could only sigh in his heart, and then persuaded: "Zanpu, why don't you go to the uncle of the Han family first, and ask for a Buddha bone relic to enshrine?"

"At the same time contact Xia Guo to ask to marry the daughter of the Empress Dowager Da Xia..."

"If the uncle of the Han family agrees, nothing will happen. If not... then we will join forces with Xia Guo..."

"Xia people get Xihe, I get relics!"

Ali Gu shook his head: "Xia Guo is a wolf with ambition!"

"I'm worried that the Xia people want Lanzhou and Xizhou as well as the Buddha Tooth Relic!"

"If Xia Guo gets the relic..."

"The six parts of the Qing and Tang Dynasties are about to fall apart!"

For the current Qingtang and Tubo, the uncle of the Han family in the Central Plains at least still thinks of affection and respect.

As long as you are respectful, you can get rewards and even assistance!
And Xia Guo...

That is 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!

"Let's send the envoy to Bianjing!" Ali Gu said, "Report the funeral to the uncle of the Han family, and request that I be canonized as the chief of Miaochuan and inherit the title of the former king!"

"Ask for relics again!"

"It really doesn't work, think of a countermeasure!"

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!"

Qiao is Dong Zhan's wife and adoptive mother.

It was the person who supported Aligu the most. It was Qiao who sent someone to inform Aligu on the night of Dong Zhan's death, so that Aligu could keep his funeral in secret.

Qingyi knotted his ghost seal, sighed, and could only retreat in anger.

He can see clearly.

The six Qing and Tang Dynasties are sandwiched between Song and Xia.

If you want to survive, you must help Xia when Song is strong, and help Song when Xia is strong, so as to maintain the balance.

Otherwise, once either side gains the upper hand, it may even eliminate the other side.

Then, Qingtang and Tubo had only two choices: surrender or perish!
However, whether it's Dong Zhan in the past or Ali Gu now.

I don't even dare to tear myself apart with Song people!

This is because the Song people treated them very well, with high officials and rich salary, and countless rewards.

It was also because they were all scared of being beaten!

He was scared by the Song generals Wang Shao and Li Xian!

But now Li Xian is no longer in Xihe!
If the tiger is not in the mountains, what is there to be afraid of?
Qing Yi Jie Gui Zhang can't figure it out!
He stepped out of Aligu's big tent, turned around and found one of his clansmen, and told him: "You take my token and go to the Xingqing Mansion of the Xia Kingdom to meet the Great Xia Wuzu and the Queen Mother..."

Aligu didn't listen to him.

He intends to come by 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 who had the mildest attitude towards the new law and the new party in the early Yuanyou period, because at least Sima Guang was only concerned with policies and not people.

　　There was no persecution, no framing or demotion.

　　During the whole process, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and also gave other people face.

　　When Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu died, ghosts, ghosts and snake gods came to the stage, what a wonderful event!
