Chapter 542 Western Liang Trick, Western Liang Trick, Liangzhou Trapped Did You Know?
In the backyard of Kang's mansion, after Zhang Zhao personally paid homage to Kang Fu, the banquet began.
The generals of the Later Jin Dynasty, who had been suppressed for a long time, drank so much that they ran out of wine and meat. Zhang Zhao had people dispatched from the palace to continue.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and Zhang Zhaozheng feeling a little smokey, the female singer came on the stage.
I saw a woman in the field, wearing a wide-sleeved cardigan, a dark red floral skirt, and a shawl made of pink and red gauze, hanging naturally on her shoulders.
The overall look is graceful and elegant, but also reveals a bit of indifference.
Zhang Zhao understood a little bit, because this dress was not worn by musicians, but was worn by the daughter of an honorable minister's family at important events.
Looking around, the eyes of the generals also had a rare look of restraint.
This woman was holding a lute, which was a kind of pipa specialized in playing Hu music. After bowing to everyone, she began to play the music with the cooperation of the dancing girl.
Ding ding ding dong dong, the sound of the tune is heard, and combined with the dancing of the surrounding dancers, it has its own flavor.
Moreover, Murong Nobunaga and others beside Zhang Zhao were very fascinated by the music and even started to play in tune with the rhythm.
Because the music played by this woman in Quxiang is Xiliang music, which is the music of Zhang Zhao’s hometown.
The player who played the song opened his red lips lightly and sang softly with a jade-like sound.
"I heard that in the past, Xiliangzhou was full of people and dense with mulberry trees. The wine was ripe and people were enjoying themselves. The buildings were red and green with red flags and vermilion powder."
This is Yuan Zhen's Xiliang opera, and Zhang Zhao couldn't help but be fascinated by it. When he sang "Once the Yan thieves invaded China, the rivers and rivers disappeared without leaving the empty hills", the tune turned sentimental.
However, towards the end, the tune changed from its usual sarcastic tone.
The song also started from "Liancheng border generals will attend high meetings, I won't be ashamed every time I hear this song."
It became "Sages and generals have a high meeting, and no one will be ashamed to listen to this song."
Fu Yanqing next to Zhang Zhao was dripping with cold sweat. If he could not be ashamed every time he sang this song, it would be a big deal. A good song and dance would turn into a satire.
But this change made Fu Yanqing smile, because it was praising Zhang Zhao's great contribution to the eighteen states of Longyou in Hexi Province!
"Good singing!" As expected, Zhang Zhao was extremely happy. He stretched out his hand and asked Kang Yannum, the host on the right.
"Is there a big drum and a golden zheng?"
The zither is a bell-like instrument that was quite popular at the time, but a set of zithers was not cheap, so Zhang Zhaocai asked Kang Yannuma if he had any.
"Yes! I will go and get it immediately!" Kang Yannum agreed quickly, and then went to get it in person.
Zhang Zhao looked at the woman who had just finished playing the song and was lying on the ground.
"Raise your head!" Zhang Zhao walked slowly, as if this banquet was just for this woman.
These old officials of the later Jin Dynasty would not randomly choose a woman to come in. Zhang Zhao suddenly thought of a possibility.
The woman raised her head, a little timidly, but seemed to be looking at Zhang Zhao expectantly.
As the saying goes, there is no ugly girl in the eighteenth century. As long as her appearance is not too 'peculiar', no matter how young girls look, she will have some color.
What's more, the girl in front of her has bright eyes, white teeth, and is dignified and graceful. Although she cannot be said to be stunningly beautiful, she can still be called colorful.
And it has a temperament, like a lotus flower that is clear but not demonic.
"Mr. Nufu pays homage to the saint!" The girl announced herself to her home in a clear voice, then bowed her head shyly.
"Sage, this is Taibao Fu's eldest daughter. She is only fifteen years old. She usually admires heroes the most, so today she dressed up as a musician and came here to see the beauty." As an elder, An Shenqi is suitable to come out at this time.
say.
Zhang Zhao laughed three times in his heart. It was indeed a great talisman in history, and he was still not married to Li Shouzhen's son Li Chongxun.
Well, Fu Yanqing was able to send all his daughters here, which was not only a certificate of submission for the generals of the later Jin Dynasty, but also a link between the two parties.
"With such a color, would you like to stay with me forever in the palace?"
Now that we have come to this point, Sage Zhang has always been very direct, and beauty does not need to make concessions.
Dafu knelt on the ground and replied in a voice like a mosquito's hum: "I am a foolish and careless person. I can't wish for you to be able to accompany the heroes of the world!"
Zhang Zhao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. He turned back to look at Fu Yanqing and said with a smile: "Good children raised by Taibao can be regarded as concubines."
Fu Yanqing was a little embarrassed because his daughter was engaged to Li Shouzhen's son Li Chongxun.
But of course he would not say it at this time. After trying his best to calm down his emotions, he replied formulaically: "My little girl is spoiled by my wife and I am afraid of losing her dignity in front of you. I hope the saint will take more care of her."
Zhang Zhao waved his hand with a smile, "It doesn't matter, Mr. Fu is dignified, I like him very much!"
While he was talking, everyone in the room came over to congratulate him, and Nujuan from Kang's house picked up the big talisman lying on the ground and went to the back house to welcome him.
Sending her to the harem is not possible now. She has to be sent home first, and then she can enter the palace only after the queen agrees and the palace ladies are sent to teach her etiquette.
Kang Yanze, the second son of Kang Fu and the eldest son of Kang Yanzhao, looked a little complicated because Kang Fu and Zhang Zhao had also engaged in marriage in the past.
However, after Kang Fu's death, the Kang family lost its power, and Zhang Zhao did not mention the matter again.
Now that I see that Fu Yanqing's eldest daughter has obtained the concubine title before entering the palace, of course I feel very sad.
Since ancient times, the marriage of emperors has had special meaning, especially for the founding monarch like Zhang Zhao.
Fu Yanqing's father, Fu Cunshen, was the adopted son of Emperor Wu Li Keyong in the past, and was one of the legendary Thirteen Taibao. Before Zhuang Miao died and established the sect, Fu Yanqing was called Li Yanqing.
Now the Fu family brothers occupy Beizhou and have thousands of soldiers under their command, so they spread their old people all over Hebei.
If the saint wants to take over Hebei, he must rely on the Fu family, so even if the daughter of the Fu family has been betrothed, she can enter the palace smoothly.
As for the Kang family, since the death of their father Kang Fu, they have not had a single soldier in their hands, so naturally the family has been left in the cold.
However, just when Kang Yanze was feeling sorry for himself and feeling sour, Zhang Zhao suddenly called the Kang brothers to him and asked with a smile.
"In the past, Kang Weng promised to a certain person that I would kill the convict Shangzhiya General Song Yi for him, and he would marry his beautiful granddaughter to a certain person. I don't know who it was agreed upon at that time. Do you still want to do it today?"
Kang Yanze was immediately struck by great excitement. He came out dazed and bowed down.
"My second daughter is virtuous and virtuous, and she is willing to accompany the saint."
Zhang Zhao waved his hand to Kang Yanze to stand up, and said with a smile: "Your father is willing, but is she willing? Come out and see her."
Everyone around also laughed in amusement. When sending a daughter to the palace, the normal behavior is to be like Fu Yanqing, saying that his daughter is not worthy of a saint because of her lack of virtue and talent.
How could Kang Yanze be like this, saying that his daughter is virtuous and virtuous, but directly saying that her daughter is willing?
Amidst the laughter, Kang Yanze also blushed, and hurriedly asked someone to bring his second daughter, Kang, out.
This Kangfu family is not a real Shatuo from Daibei, but a fake Shatuo among the three tribes of Daibei. In fact, they are from Kangguo, that is, the Sogdians of the Samarkand generation today.
Zhang Zhao took the initiative to take in Kang Yanze's daughter. First, he wanted to fulfill his old promise and let the officials know that Zhang Zhao was true to his word.
Even if the Kang family has lost its wooing value after Kangfu's death, he is willing to fulfill his promise.
Second, the people who now occupy the nine surnames of Zhaowu in Hezhong, the hometown of Sogdia, are actually Persians.
Zhang Zhao wanted to go to Hezhong to conquer the Xia monarchs and the barbarians. In the eyes of the locals, they were invaders. Even the Zhou soldiers would consider themselves so.
But Zhang Zhao didn't want this. He was not going to be an invader, but to assimilate the Xia monarchs and Yi people.
So, what better example is there than the Sogdians of various surnames who have basically integrated into the Tang people and brought back the Tang people's army.
At that time, the troops marching westward will no longer be invaders, but volunteers to restore the Sogdian people's country.
As for why the Sogdians spoke Chinese, used Chinese characters, read Han classics, and converted to Buddhism and Taoism after they restored their homeland?
Well, anyone who dares to ask this question must be a remnant of Persia.
Moreover, the Persians have enslaved the Sogdians for so many years, should they be compensated?
You said you don't agree to compensation? That's just right. If we also enslave you for hundreds of years, then everyone will be even.
While I was thinking about it, I realized that the Kang family had already come here. Originally, the Sogdians of Kang State had a lot of women with bright colors. After entering the Central Plains for so many years, they had mixed blood, and they had combined the strengths of each family, making them even more gorgeous.
The Kang family is a typical example. No wonder Kang Fu wanted to boast to Zhang Zhao back then. He was indeed very charming.
Zhang Zhao was extremely satisfied with the exotic style of Sogdian Orchid and the dignity and beauty of Han women.
Chuanchuan is like this, most of them are crooked and cracked, but for a few who perfectly inherit the beautiful genes of the two ethnic groups, great beauties often emerge.
When Kang arrived, Yingying bowed and was sent back again.
Seeing Zhang Shengren's great faith and promise, the generals of the later Jin Dynasty compared him and felt that Zhang Zhao was indeed more worthy of following, and the atmosphere at the moment became even more enthusiastic.
At this time, the big drum and braided cymbals had also been brought in, and Zhang Zhao greeted Murong Nobunaga.
"My son, come and strike the sword."
Children of big aristocratic families who are not very cultured and have very few heritages can play well with things like chimes and bells.
For example, Fu Yanqing, although he comes from a family of generals, has never learned this stuff.
Only Murong Nobunaga, although he is from Tuguhun, his family belongs to the Tuyuhun royal family for hundreds of years, and has been a big family in Longyou, Hexi Province since the Han Dynasty. There are many educated people in the clan, so he can strike the gun.
"The Taibao can come and make a decision for someone." Zhang Zhao began to greet Fu Yanqing again.
This clapper does not mean the clapper of later generations. The clapper at this time is somewhat similar to the allegro of later generations. It is an instrument, but it uses claps to play rhythm, rather than shaking like later generations.
Murong Nobunaga took off his robe, Fu Yanqing also dressed lightly, and the two stood beside Zhang Zhao.
At this time, all the dancers in the banquet hall had gone out, and everyone took off their outer robes, exposing half of their arms and other tight-fitting clothing.
Later generations said that fifty-five of the fifty-six ethnic groups were good at singing and dancing, but the Han people could only call them six or six six. In fact, this is very wrong.
Dance has always been the most important part of Han rituals, but it was later cut off from the inheritance.
At this time, Zhang Zhao wanted to play the drums himself. Everyone knew that the dance time had come, so everyone was eager to give it a try. At this time, dancing with the king and his ministers was the best opportunity to enhance their relationship.
Zhang Zhao took the drumstick and danced twice, which immediately won the applause of the whole house.
Then he knocked down with a loud sound, and everyone immediately followed him into a dancing posture.
Murong Nobunaga clanged the hammer a few times, Fu Yanqing also slapped the lever, and everyone immediately changed their postures.
Zhang Zhao opened his mouth and sang: "Xiliang Ji, Xiliang Ji, fake Hu people and fake lions. Carved wood for the head and silk tail, gold-plated eyes and silver teeth."
It's still Xiliang opera, but it's not Yuan Zhen's version, but Bai Juyi's version, with more intense emotions and sadness.
The drums rang, the horns rang, the boards crackled, and everyone sang along with Zhang Zhao's drumming and singing.
"In a moment, I got new news. I will never return to Anxi Road. I cried like a lion and shed tears. Do you know that Liangzhou has fallen?" Zhang Zhao continued to sing, and the atmosphere began to become sad.
Murong Nobunaga, who was striking the gong, turned around and sang: "The lion turns back and looks to the west. When he roars, the spectators feel sad."
Fu Yanqing was holding a big board and slapping it like crazy, and the people were spinning around like crazy.
"Forty years after the fall of Liangzhou, Helong invaded and invaded for seven thousand miles. In peacetime, Anxi's territory is thousands of miles away, but today the border defense is in Fengxiang."
This was sung by all the generals, and tears began to appear on many people's faces.
As long as he is a human being, there will be no one who will not be saddened by the fall of Longyou in Hexi and Beiting in Anxi in the past. There will also be no one who will not miss the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Although this is the moment when the warrior's power is at its highest, it is also the moment when all glory is lost.
Moreover, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present, there have been two hundred years of chaos, with only one or two people surviving. Dozens of emperors have changed. I don’t know how many kings have changed in the city. Even the warriors are mostly tired of it.
They were tired of being precarious, tired of being killed without knowing when, tired of fighting without honor, and tired of the Huru going south day after day.
They are also longing for a Tianzong Yingzong, longing for an Emperor Taizong Wen to lead them to clean up the country and regain the glory they deserve.
"The remaining people are heartbroken in Liangzhou, and the generals look at each other and have no intention of taking them back. The emperor feels sorry for him every time he thinks about it, and the general is ashamed when he wants to talk about it. Even if he has no intelligence, he can't take it back.
Can you bear to make fun of Xiliang?"
After the song was sung, the drumming stopped suddenly and the dancing stopped. Zhang Zhao held the drumstick in his hand and looked at the people in the room.
"It's been two hundred years since we Tang'er killed each other and fought for power without any shame.
I started from Hexi and worked hard to return home, but I only saw the Shi family on their knees, barbarians, shameless traitors, unable to return to their home and country."
After saying this, all the Jin generals lowered their heads.
Zhang Zhao beat the drum again and said loudly: "I don't want future generations to be like us.
I don’t want all the people in the world to be treated like grass and be killed wantonly.
I don’t want the barbarians to regard us as weak, wantonly look down upon us, and dare to attack the grass and grains of our descendants.
Who can put an end to this troubled times for someone, make the country intact, and create a peaceful, peaceful, prosperous and prosperous future for future generations?
Who is willing to follow a certain family and be a loyal, brave and righteous man without being called a killer?"
After hearing this, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison, "I am willing! I am willing!"
