Fengchan is one word, but it is actually two rituals.
According to Zhang Zhengyi, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, an altar of earth was built to offer sacrifices to heaven and repay the heaven's merits, so it was called Feng. The earth was removed from the hill to repay the earth's merits, so it was called Zen.
In layman's terms, Feng means offering sacrifices to the emperor and heaven, while Zen means offering sacrifices to the earth.
It was held on a high mountain, and the subsequent Zen was held on a small hill on the side of the mountain.
After the historical champion Hou Huo Qubing granted Langju Xushang, he also immediately performed the Zengu Yanshan ceremony.
Of course, Zhang Shengren's battle in Mobei cannot be compared with the Huns' Monan Wuwangting battle fought by the champion prince, but Zhang Yan's plan is more grand than Huo Qubing's sealing of Langjuxu and Changu Yanshan.
Because when Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, it was the most powerful moment of the Han Dynasty. He only needed to enshrine the two mountains, worship the heavens with Chinese rites at the place where the Huns worshiped the heavens, in order to show the power of the Han Dynasty and destroy the faith in the hearts of the Huns.
.
But at this time, since the Anshi Rebellion, the country has been in decline for two hundred years. The civil servants have lost their integrity, the generals have lost their glory, and the small people are in danger. The commander-in-chief, the country's leader and even the emperor are always in danger of death and the destruction of the country.
middle.
The two hundred years of chaos, especially the two hundred years of suffering, were caused by barbarians like An Lushan and Shi Siming.
Later, after the Uighur army assisted in the suppression, they looted Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and the Tubo people even invaded Chang'an.
"Supreme Heaven, the West Sea is too far to the west. We don't have enough food and livestock, so we can't go there at all.
So, when he said this, Zhang Yan changed the topic and looked at these non-Han people and said with some empathy.
We gave these barbarians the honor and status that are difficult for our own people to obtain without hesitation, but they in turn destroyed our country and brought us serious disasters. Is this the result of too much preferential treatment and indulgence?
of?
Two hundred years of pain must have an outlet and a reason.
Every devout person can receive generous rewards and become a noble person!"
It's still the same truth. If ordinary people bring up this topic, everyone will sneer at it.
Yelu Deguang's two sons, Yelv Jing and Yelu Kuang Sage, were in front of the carriage, holding hands with the carriage as a guide, and the convoy slowly headed towards Langjuxu Mountain.
The two thieves of Anshi were indeed barbarians, but Qibi Heli, Ashina Simo, Li Guangbi, and Gao Xianzhi were also barbarians, and they could not be beaten to death with one stick.
Even if we pass, it will only be a matter of generations. Those who should starve to death by then will still starve to death." Li Guizhong, the protector of thousands of households in Xijiasi, shouted.
After this set of work was completed, the surrounding civil servants and military officers shouted "long live" three times and bowed to Zhang Yan three times and kowtowed nine times. Zhang Yan bent over his knees and bowed his head in return.
The third piece of meat was given to the leaders of Xihai, Songpan, and Kangding, especially Lunbo Ren. Zhang Yan took his hand and said, "I'm waiting for you on the Qingtang Plateau.
Good news."
As soon as he finished speaking, flags were raised high, drums and music were played, civil servants and generals, chiefs of various tribes, eight thousand accompanying warriors, and nearly ten thousand herdsmen began to gather. The sea of people undulated like waves, and they all turned their attention to Zhang Xuan who was boarding the carriage.
Moreover, the Zubu people at this time also had the habit of worshiping heaven on this mountain. Before them, the Uighurs and Turks also had this habit.
Zhang Fang ascended the Dengfeng altar, buried the jade plate book recording Zhang Zhou's family tree under the stage with his own hands, and recited the astronomical rites drafted by Li Fang.
Because from now on, there will be no Hu people in the grasslands and pine deserts. The Hu people are in Xiniu Hezhou in the west.
Today we are granted the title of "Lang Xu", but who knows what kind of races will appear in the north and south of this mountain in a few years, and will bring endless trouble to our descendants."
I, Saint Zhang, arrived here the night before yesterday, and then I fasted, burned incense, meditated and prayed for a whole day and night in a quiet room made of a tent.
Seeing him coming out, the monks knelt down and chanted "The Supreme Merciful, Great Compassionate and Perfect Wheel-turning Dharma King", and the believers and herdsmen bowed to the ground to pay homage.
On such an occasion, a speech is indispensable, which has not been seen in the previous dynasties of Zen. However, the purpose of Zhang Yan's Zen is to boost people's morale and continue the policy since the Han and Tang Dynasties, so it is natural to make an exception.
The rest of the chiefs of the grassland tribes such as Yefugua, Dalimi, Beizhubu, Wuduqi guard Qianhu, Enemie four tribes, Hei Chezi Shiwei, Tulu Bu Shiwei, Tieli, Bai Dadan tribe, etc., also
Was ordered to follow.
This is truly a magnificent era! What does it mean to treat Hu and Han as one? This is called treating Hu and Han as one.
Since ancient times, the Rong, Di, and Hulu have been a serious nuisance to the Chinese people in the Central Plains.
On October 15th, Zhang Gao personally led the army and marched all the way from Yuerluo to the foot of Langjuxu Mountain.
In the third year of Shaoming Dynasty, AD 948, on the ninth day of the tenth month, Zhang Gao issued an edict, ordering the two sons of Emperor Zhuangmiao Li of the Liao Kingdom, Yelv Deguang, Yelv Jing and Yelv Kuang Sage to go to Pibei River City.
And you must know that although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has an average reputation in literary circles, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty has the stain of Xuanwu Sect, as of now, these two plus the First Emperor are the ceiling among emperors.
One blames the problems of the Soviet Union entirely on the loving father, negates most of the loving father's contributions, and only focuses on one point and keeps amplifying it until it rises to a personal attack.
Zhang Yan is very clear about his historical mission. He wants to use the majesty of conquering the desert grassland, the majesty of shooting down the Khitan at the height of the sun, and the prestige he has accumulated for sixteen years to take on the task at this moment to solve the grassland problem for the first time since the Han and Tang Dynasties.
important responsibility.
Heat and restlessness appeared on the faces of every grassland, plateau, and pine desert tribal leader.
It wasn't even the civil servants of the Zhao and Song dynasties who caused it. At most, they played a role in fueling the flames.
There are the main forces of Zhang and Zhou such as the Han Shandu, the pro-army, and the forbidden army, the inspection departments from various places, the auxiliary troops drawn from the prefecture and county soldiers, the athletes recruited from Helong, and the retinues and cavalry from various ministries.
“I often wonder, there are countless wealthy places to the west of Jinshan Mountain, why don’t we leave when we reach the West Sea (Caspian Sea)?
I hereby promise that as long as they gather under the swastika flag, every warrior on the grassland will have at least one big village, one hundred strong serfs, ten beautiful wives and concubines, and more cattle and sheep to eat!
This method is like Yu the Great's method of controlling floods. Unfortunately, the Hulu repeatedly outran the rising and falling floods, so the success was ultimately unsuccessful.
The whistling north wind blew small flakes of snow. Zhang Yan was wearing a plain white monk's robe with a hood.
Of course, we have to hurry up. There are more and more rainy and snowy days in Mobei now. If we don't hurry up, the heavy snow will fall and even cotton-padded clothes will not be able to bear it.
In this way, the vast grassland on the grassland is enough to provide a relatively good life for the herdsmen, so they will not go south, and they will not be able to go south.
It can even be said that he, Shengren Zhang, believed that he was more powerful than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, because these two methods of solving the grassland problem were considered by me, Shengren Zhang, to be failures.
To this day, I think you all have a question in your mind, that is, using violence to counter violence will not work, nor will it be all-encompassing, treating them as one and the same.
Don't be ridiculous, this is the lowest treatment, okay? A temple should be built to offer sacrifices, okay?
"I said that we should treat Hu and Han as the same. This is not a joke. Therefore, from today on, there will be no Hu people on the grassland, because the Hu people and barbarians are in Niuhezhou in the west and Shengshenzhou in the east. All ministers and ministers, please help me.
I?"
Of course, the Tibetans from Xihai, Songpan, and Kangding, the Qiang cavalry, and the soldiers and generals from the Southern Tang and Wuyue were all among them.
In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizongwen took into account the story of the two Han Dynasties, and with a great mind, he inherited the glory of coming from all directions, changed the Han Dynasty's method of simply using violence to control violence, and regarded the Hu and Han Dynasties as the same.
Now that the great dynasty has declined and there has been chaos for two hundred years, it is time for us to unify.
Before this kind of monk's robe became popular in Haiqing, it was a common monk's clothing in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is very similar to the Christian missionary robe in later generations. Now it is the standard attire for the monks of the Six Methods Sect.
But in this time and space, history has one more choice, and this extra choice is me, Zhang Shengren.
On October 11th, Zhang Xuan carefully selected 8,000 infantry and cavalry from the army.
But in the end, everyone knows that among the people outside the fortress, although there are loyal ministers like Qi Bi Heli and Li Guangbi, there are also rebellious and cruel people like the two thieves of An Shi.
Having said this, Zhang Gao paused for a moment, just to give the subordinates of the Han Dynasty a buffer period. All of them looked at Zhang Gao, wanting to know what this guidance method was.
The Basimi maid brought by Basimi's personal guard Ashina Chu, the Great Protector of Ten Thousand Households, came forward with the emperor's robes of the Central Plains in her hands and put on the emperor's robes for Saint Zhang.
At the same time, Li Guizhong, the protector of all households in Xijiasi, who had arrived near Yanran Mountain, Gu Fengde, the protector of all households in Yili, A Luocha, the protector of all households in Naiman, and Bashimi, the protector of all households in Yili, were ordered to
Ashina sips.
Lu Zhen, the two pacifying envoys from Bulushan in the west, and Yulizi, the wife of Lushan County, immediately set off for Langjuxu Mountain.
How to solve this problem in this world? After solving the problem of Huns, there will be Turks, which is an endless problem.
Li Jingda took the beef with both hands, and gnawed the bloody roast beef on the spot, with a heavy head, "Sage, please rest assured, after I return, I will immediately persuade my brother to surrender."
The grassland people who want to live a good life will always go south. Although we should fight and kill them, we should not fight the bandits and bandits who come.
Zhang Gao waved his hand and asked Aluoja to get up, then looked at the Han ministers and said.
The imperial court would provide money, food, and even elite troops to arm the restless elements on the grasslands with the Six Methods Sect, and let them go to the west to serve as masters for the barbarians.
Historically, after the Zhao and Song Dynasties failed to recapture the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, with the emperor's acquiescence and even promotion, the problem was entirely attributed to the national openness and inclusiveness of the Tang Dynasty.
But objectively speaking, the resentment against the Tang Dynasty's policies at this time was not caused by Zhao Laoer and the subsequent Zhao and Song royal families.
A chamberlain dressed in eunuch attire shouted loudly: "The emperor is riding in a chariot, accompanied by all his ministers and servants."
Correspondingly, when they saw Zhang Yan put on the Gong robe, the monks of the Liufa Sect immediately stood up and just stood on both sides.
Therefore, this ceremony must be extremely grand.
"Sure enough, the Supreme Heaven knows us. We can only graze cattle on the grassland. If there is a slight natural disaster, we will not be able to survive. These hundreds of thousands or millions of people can only do dirty things just to eat. It is really miserable.
There’s nothing we can do.”
Everyone took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, crossed their hands and said, "I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
But when these words come from the mouths of the living god + the grassland khan + the emperor of the Central Plains, it is the will of God.
Zhang Gao stretched out his hands, and two maids were selected from among the divination people in Xizu. They immediately bowed their heads and took off Zhang Gao's plain white monk's robe, and then stripped Saint Zhang completely naked.
Langjuxu Mountain is actually an entire mountain range, and we, which the Chinese often refer to as Langjuxu Mountain, are the main peaks of the Langjuxu Mountains.
At the same time, the emperor was still pushing the Xia monarchs and Yi people to go west. After thinking about it, the bunch of small Xia monarchs and Yi people in the west would be the military supply depot for the prairie warriors going further west, and their return home culturally connected with the Middle Earth.
Zhang Yan said this to a group of Han officials.
When Zhang Zhang opened the door of the quiet room and appeared in plain white monk robes, there were hundreds of monks outside. I don't know where the herdsmen came to pay homage to him, at least two to three thousand people.
"The people on the grasslands also need to eat, and they also want to live a good life like the Han people. I know that in my heart.
Let the knights on the grasslands, the warriors on the plateau, the warriors in the pine desert and the heroes of the Han Dynasty come together. Let's stop fighting each other and go to the west to conquer the barbarians. Wouldn't that be great!"
But this won't solve the problem. As long as they have no food, they will always go south.
"This is the place where Hou Fengchan, the champion of the early Han Dynasty, defeated the Xiongnu here and made Monan no longer a royal court. His great achievements have been praised by future generations for thousands of years.
If you want Zhao Da or Zhao Er to come over and say this, you probably won't be able to finish your words, and they will be bombarded by their subordinates, or no matter how thick-skinned they are, they won't be able to open their mouths.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty's reflection on the Tang Dynasty's policies went completely into the wrong direction and became a mere outlet for venting.
Zhang Hao waved his hand and said, "Why do you want to take a woman and a child with you?
We can mount war horses, put on iron armor, take bows and arrows, let the men go first, to conquer those barbarians who don't even have much leather armor, and then take the women and children over to enjoy themselves, can't we?
Don't say I don't have war horses, because I have them. Don't say I don't have armor. I also have them. I also have food, strong bows and crossbows, and invincible cavalry. These can all support you.
To this day, Zhang Shengren, who started out as an old servant, tried his best to save the world when the Khitans entered the Central Plains and people were in panic, and is now enshrined in Mobei, is qualified to say this.
And the Han officials also understood that this so-called method of guidance is actually to divert trouble from the west.
Arriving at a small earthen bunker in the southeast of Langjuxu Mountain, Zhang Gao got off his chariot and burned firewood to worship God Haotian according to Han customs. Then he led his ministers and 1,500 soldiers to wait for Langjuxu.
.
I believe that in another thousand years, the deeds of the champion will still be praised by all people.
At the same time, while Zhang Yan was praying in the quiet room, hundreds of monks outside were also chanting the four major sutras of the Six Methods Sect.
However, in the last four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, it cannot be said that the border troubles in the north have been solved. This method, such as the blocking method used in ancient flood control, cannot solve the problem in the end.
Although it cannot be said that there were no mistakes in the ethnic policies of the Tang Dynasty, that was not the main reason. All mistakes cannot be attributed to the open and inclusive atmosphere.
Zhang Hao laughed three times and walked to the lower left corner of the altar. Chinese sacrifices are still performed in this ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven. Among the tributes, meat is naturally indispensable.
He unexpectedly handed the first piece of meat to Li Jingda, "Master Yu should know that we Han people have been adhering to unity since ancient times.
Go back and tell your brother that I can even conquer the Mobei grassland. If I raise my troops and go south, my brother's ancestral temple will be in danger, so he should stop being stubborn."
The mighty Han Dynasty failed in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. How much energy can you expect from later generations to continue to work hard to solve this problem? Not to mention that Brother Zhao has never been a heroic saint with strong willpower.
Li Fang was almost intoxicated. He knew that the emperor's operation was difficult, but as long as it was done well, what do you say? His name will remain in history?
Li Fang suddenly realized that he understood why the emperor asked him to help the Liufa Sect compile the scriptures and meanings. This was to package the etiquette, law and morality of the Central Plains in the scriptures and meanings of the Liufa Sect, so as to subtly transform Hu into a Han Dynasty.
Everyone knows what happened after that. From the emperor to the common people, from the court to the people, the overall atmosphere turned completely conservative.
Let every son and man on the grassland become the minions of this deity. Use their bravery to chop down those who refuse to surrender like weeds, and seize everything they have. The fat cattle and sheep, and the beautiful wives and concubines will all be yours.
Since the ultimate result of opening up is to suffer losses, then we will not open up, and we will shrink back and play with ourselves.
All the great guardians and guardians responded one after another, and Alajya, the great guardian of thousands of Naiman households, even said with tears in his eyes.
There is something special about this. Taking off the monk's robe and putting on the military uniform symbolizes the change of Zhang's identity.
Then, there was another cycle of Han and Tang Dynasties, and another cycle of heaven and earth falling.
One blames the two hundred years of suffering entirely on the Tang Dynasty’s ethnic policies and openness.
The extent of its damage to Chinese culture is comparable to Su Suizong's report at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
In essence, it was caused by the total failure of the Central Plains dynasties to solve the problem of grassland threats from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jingda suddenly felt extremely ashamed. While their brothers were still thinking about being a fool, Prince Shaotian's vision was already beyond their reach.
On Langjuxu Mountain, Li Cunhui and Cao Yansi had already built the Dengfeng altar, which was five feet wide and nine feet high, with the emperor protruding from all sides.
However, the reason why I can be the lord of China and be supported by all the tribes outside the Great Wall is because the sky above my head has appointed me to solve this problem!
Therefore, I have learned from Emperor Shizongwu of the Han Dynasty that he used violence to control violence, and inherited Emperor Taizongwen from the great dynasty to embrace everything, and there is another way to guide him!"
Baye Gusi knelt down and walked in front of Zhang Xuan, "The Supreme Heaven with great mercy and compassion, is this the future prepared by the Buddha for the devout people?"
The two Han Dynasties dealt with border troubles by using strong force to fight strong force and violence to fight violence for hundreds of years. The Xiongnu who were killed did not dare to go south.
On October 12, Zhang Jian ordered Li Cunhui to take Cao Yansi, Yaoluo Ge Jingming, the daughter of the former Ganzhou Uighur Renmei Khan and Cao Yijin, with a thousand cavalry to set off first and go to Langjuxu Mountain to select the title of Zen.
specific mountain range.
Zhang Hao cut the second piece of meat and gave it to Shen Huzi. "Bo Chang took this piece of meat back to King Wu Yue and told him to come to Tokyo next year."
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period lasted for hundreds of years, leading to the Qin and Han dynasties. The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were in conflict for hundreds of years, leading to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Those barbarians with long noses, yellow hair, and beards are as numerous as the sand in the Gobi. Aren't they the best herdsmen?
To the west of the Western Sea, as far as I know, there are Kipchaks, Makiks, Bashkirs, Bulgarians, Khazars, Rus, and Germans, tens of millions of them. Why don’t we conquer them? them?"
Shen Huzi knelt down with a pop. This feeling of striving to solve major world affairs cannot be given by a separatist regime.
This whistling north wind started blowing in September and lasted for six or seven months. It froze the cattle and sheep to death and the people. The bitter cold was like hell, so the people naturally wanted to find a good place to live."
And everyone will listen patiently and look forward to him giving a solution to this thousand-year-old unsolvable problem.
Then Zhang Gao thought about it and cut another small piece, "Give this to Hu Jinsi. I hope he knows what he should do."
Zhang Zhang personally held a knife and cut off the large pieces of beef for sacrifice one by one.
As for the remaining tens of thousands of troops, those belonging to 40,000 households in Moxi followed Zhang Zhang, while the rest were led by Man Xiong, Huang Yingda and others, and began to retreat back to the Great Wall.
Li Cunhui and Cao Yansi, who stood in front of the army, quickly found the main mountain peak because it was too conspicuous.
Both of them had an extremely serious and even devastating blow to their own countries and even civilizations.
"And this is doomed, whether it is blocking or dredging, it will not solve the problem. It is impossible to kill all the people on the grassland with blocking, and it is impossible to inspire all the people in the grassland using dredging.
The naked Zhang Yan slowly walked into a pool of water behind him and washed the dust off his body with clean water from the foot of Langjuxu Mountain. He washed it ninety-nine and eighty-one times, which was a symbolic scrubbing period.
As long as customization is formed and a group of people are guided away every twenty years, the population on the grassland will always be at a low level.
And according to Zhang Zhang's request, it is best to use the mountain range where the champion Hou Feng of the early Han Dynasty passed. Then according to the etiquette, a platform should be built at the place of sealing, and the earth should be removed at the place of meditation.
Zhang Yan nodded, "This is the will of the Buddha. There are countless barbarians in Xiniuhezhou to the west of the West Sea that need to be conquered and civilized. There are mountains of gold and silver in Dongshengshenzhou to the east of the ocean waiting for us to pick up.
From this, we can also see how important the prestige of an emperor is. With these words, Zhang Hao directly regarded himself as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the third person since Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to solve the grassland problem. He also claimed that he was appointed by destiny to solve this problem. thing.
Each of these incidents made the Han people, who had been tortured by this suffering for two hundred years, begin to reflect. They felt that the all-inclusive strategy implemented by the Tang Dynasty was wrong?
They recalled that we gave these barbarians honor, guided them towards civilization, and allowed them to settle down from the relatively barren land of Zhaowu to the prosperous Central Plains.
Zhang Yan's words aroused the contemplation of the civil servants and generals of the Han Dynasty, but the faces of the Great Protector of the Grassland on his right, the Plateau Xuan Comfort Envoy, and the Songmo Protector were not very good, and they were even more worried.
Lunbo Ren was so excited that he knelt down and raised his flesh above his head, "I believe that the light of mercy from the supreme heaven will definitely make Langdama's descendants repent."
After dividing the three pieces of meat, Zhang Gao ordered someone to bring up a huge pot. He chopped the sacrificial meat with his own hands, then put it into the pot and cooked it into a pot of broth. Everyone who followed the more than a thousand people who went up the mountain had a share. .
Immediately, he poured the sacrificial wine into a stream on the left side of the Dengfeng Altar. The eight thousand warriors and thousands of herdsmen who accompanied him all drank the water of the mountain stream happily, and the sound of joy could be heard for miles.
outside.
A new era has arrived!
I was on a business trip today and I missed a few hundred words. This chapter is a two-in-one chapter and will be gone tonight.
