Chapter 265(3/3)
Zhang Huaiqing, who sat down on the ground, wiped away his tears and nodded heavily. For him, this was a great thing to comfort his brother, and he could also pick up Nanyang County Duke. Of course he would agree.
"There is hope for the Zhang family in Nanyang! Brother, have you seen it in the sky? The Zhang family finally has a person who can distinguish right from wrong. Jiulang, I will adopt the youngest son's family to you immediately. You can rest in peace!"
"Erlang!" Ms. Zhang walked up to Zhang Zhao and pulled Zhang Zhao up from the ground while wailing.
Everyone around them couldn't help but blush. The two most important members of the Zhang family finally reconciled at this time.
Ms. Zhang Li sat in a four-wheeled wheelchair and looked at Zhang Zhao with burning eyes. Zhang Zhao comforted Zhang Huaishen's daughter for a while, then walked to Ms. Zhang and knelt down slowly.
For everyone present, Zhang Li has a very special meaning.
She is Zhang Yichao's only living heir, and her husband is the founder of the Guiyi Army.
She is a living fossil who has witnessed the Guiyi Army from its establishment to its glory and then its decline, and she has also held the power of the Guiyi Army for several years.
"Auntie, my grandson has apologized to you on behalf of my father. Although the three uncles of the Li family were at fault, their crimes were not punishable by death, nor could everyone in the family be spared.
You see, my father also paid the price, but he died of depression at the age of twenty-four. My grandson often thinks that when he comes back from his dream at midnight, he must also regret it!
I heard that Cunhui, the eldest son of Shaozong’s cousin, is skilled in bow and horse and will be a brave man in the next generation, so let Cunhui follow me to Liangzhou to command the Guiyi military camp!”
After the death of Zhang Zhao's grandfather Zhang Huaiding, Suo Xun, a general of the Guiyi Army who was also Zhang Yichao's son-in-law, usurped power and replaced Zhang Zhao's father Zhang Chengfeng as the military governor of the Guiyi Army.
Later, Li and his four sons ousted the usurper Suo Xun from power, and Zhang Chengfeng succeeded to the throne.
This was originally a good thing, but after Zhang Chengfeng succeeded to the throne, the Li family had other ideas. The Li family and the fourth son separated and returned to the rebel army, completely ignoring Zhang Chengfeng.
They were eventually overthrown by Zhang Chengfeng and the Shazhou clan. All four sons of the Li family except Li Hongding were executed, and the whole family was killed.
The cousin of Shaozong mentioned by Zhang Zhao was the son of Li Hongding and the grandson of Zhang Li. Li Cunhui was the son of Li Hongding and the great-grandson of Zhang Li.
In Gua Sha Tang Er, Li Cunhui and Murong Nobunaga were known as twins, brave and decisive. Zhang Zhao decided to take him to Liangzhou, firstly to achieve reconciliation by giving him an official position, and secondly because he was really useful.
"Erlang, my aunt also wants to open the Buddhist cave to your three cousins, make offerings to the Buddha, and continue the incense for the adopted descendants. Do you think it's okay?"
Zhang Li stretched out her hand like a dead tree and gently touched Zhang Zhao's cheek, tears falling down.
"My son! They died miserably! I hear them crying in hell day and night, but I can't do anything!"
"According to my aunt, my grandson also has the status of a Buddhist protector. There are hundreds of eminent monks from Tianzhu who followed my grandson to the west this time. I want to build another Jialan on Shazhou, let's call it Yan'en Temple.
Let us enshrine all the heroic ancestors who followed Taibao Gong in the uprising, and our descendants can also accompany them!"
After saying that, Zhang Zhao turned his head and looked at Suo Xun's grandson Suo Shengquan, "Cousin of the Suo family, when the time comes, send the birthday and portrait of the great-uncle of the Suo family and enshrine it together!"
"Okay! Okay! Thank you very much, Mr. Erlang!" Suo Shengquan was so excited that he began to feel awkward when speaking.
Suo Xun was different from others. He was the chief culprit of the unrest in the Guiyi Army. He was the one who encouraged Zhang Huaiding to kill Zhang Huaishen, and later imprisoned Zhang Chengfeng for self-reliance. Everyone else could say he was innocent, but Suo Xun could not.
But now, Zhang Zhao is willing to bring Suo Xun to the temple to worship him, which has given the Suo family face. You must know that Cao Yijin's first wife is Suo Xun's daughter.
"Zhang Erlang, come to uncle!" Seeing that Zhang Zhao was willing to reconcile with the Suo family, Cao Yijin waved to Zhang Zhao.
"From now on, please call me grandpa! I can see that the Cao family will be safe and prosperous in the future!"
You did a good job, even better than I thought. At least I don’t have the ability to reconcile with everyone. Is there a Buddha statue of Cao Yijin in Yan’en Temple?”
This was the benefit Zhang Zhao gained from his insistence on penetrating Tianzhu. The atmosphere of Buddhism at this time was far from what it would be in later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin and Wu Zetian were awarded the title of Golden Wheel Sacred Emperor.
Although Zhang Zhao only got one Yinlun Dharma King, and he couldn't publicize it immediately, he was already very impressive in the small circle within the Guiyi Army.
Because not just anyone can build a temple to offer sacrifices. For example, Cao Yijin, even though he was a military governor of the Guiyi Army, he could not build a temple privately.
But Zhang Zhao can, not only can, he can also canonize gods and Buddhas, because among the seven treasures of the Samurai King, the Jade Girl Treasure, the Main Treasure and the Dian Weapon are in human form.
The Jade Girl Bao refers to the most beautiful woman in the world and symbolizes conquest.
The main treasure refers to the prime minister under the reincarnation king.
Dianbingbao refers to the most valiant general.
Although these three are not Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they have the status of gods and Buddhas and can even be worshiped in separate temples.
Cao Yijin struggled to let Cao Sanniang and Cao Jiuniang support him, and then bowed to Zhang Zhao on the bed.
"This disciple worships the Buddha all his life, and has never killed anyone unjustly in his sixty-five years. He protects the heaven and earth here, but only with a common heart.
If I can hide treasures for the Lord of the Reincarnating Saint King and go to the temple to offer sacrifices, this life will be enough! Please Dharma King to make it happen!"
Zhang Zhao stood tall and received Cao Yijin's homage. Then he took out the golden seal and gold book of the Holy King of Reincarnation from his body. Cao Jiuniang handed him the ink pen.
Zhang Zhao was in the house and personally wrote a document in a gold book, in which Duke Cao of Yunqiao County agreed to use gold to hide treasures and grant virtues to those who could not reach them. The treasures were overflowing.
Cao Yijin held the gold book of the master's treasures written to him by Zhang Zhao, his eyes full of satisfaction.
"There is a tribe in Liangzhou called Cao Wanjia. They were formed by Sogdians Cao who migrated to Liangzhou and are now the leader of the Sogdians in Liangzhou.
Its leader, Cao Wancheng, visited Dunhuang as an envoy to Liangzhou in the past and paid homage to Suo Taibao (Suo Xun) of a certain Mount Tai. He renewed his genealogy and made an agreement with him.
I wrote a letter in my hand. When Erlang arrives in Liangzhou, he will be able to use both kindness and power to conquer him!"
Yes! There are many Sogdians in Liangzhou, and there are even more in Liangzhou City. Economic activities are basically managed by them, and there are at least 30,000 to 50,000 people.
If he can get the support of the Sinicized Sogdians in Liangzhou, he will have more confidence in driving away Li Wenqian.
"Erlangjun! A certain family comes from the Dongda River Valley Department of Tuyuhun, Liangzhou Liugu tribe, Zhangmi, Mabo, and Zhulu. Although they call themselves Fumo, they are actually the remnants of Tuyuhun who were annexed by Tubo and became slaves.
.
A certain Murong family is originally from that royal family, and we have had many contacts over the years. I wrote a handwritten letter for Nobunaga'er to take with him.
Erlangjun is a wise man, and if we get their full help, he will have a solid foundation in the Aomo Liugu tribe."
The speaker was Murong Guiying, the father-in-law of Lady Cao Sanniang and the grandfather of Murong Nobunaga.
The old guy is indeed an old fox. It turns out that he is very good at timing! These three Tuyuhun remnants just scratched Zhang Zhao's itch.
"Murong Shijun will definitely be able to enter Yan'en Temple to offer sacrifices for future generations. These three Tuyuhun clans will be the Xin Chang'er tribe for generations to come. In the future, after taking possession of Longyou in Hexi Province, Xin Chang'er can become the Shankuo Prefecture.
Governor!"
Shanzhou and Kuozhou are just on the edge of Liangzhou. They are states inhabited by the Liugu tribe. Although they are not big, they are also one of the eleven states that Zhang Yichao recovered in the past.
"Yes, thank you Erlangjun for your kindness!" Murong Guiying did not expect Zhang Zhao to be so generous, so he took Murong Nobunaga's hand.
"My dear grandson, you lost your father when you were young, and your grandfather is old. He could raise an eagle like you, but he couldn't help you fly high in the sky.
Your uncles are all mediocre people, so let them stay in Guazhou and enjoy their wealth!
The eagle of the Murong family is going to a wider world. From today on, Mr. Zhang Erlang will be your elder. I will send you three hundred warriors of the Murong family to make great achievements!"
For a Chinese, the power of a posthumous name is really powerful. The temptation to build a temple to offer sacrifices is an irresistible temptation for any old man, not even Cao Yijin, nor Murong Guiying.
But after the two of them acted like this, everyone in the room looked at Zhang Zhao differently.
King Zhang Fa established a temple to offer sacrifices. If your ancestors could not enter the temple, would you still have the dignity to be a human being in the future? Your ancestors would not be able to slap you in a dream?
Especially the older ones, don’t you want to go in and worship your ancestors as filial sons and grandsons?
What's more, Cao Yijin and Murong Guiying have both placed bets. Seeing that the matter in Liangzhou is very promising! Don't you want to place bets?
"Erlang, my grandpa's family is not into military affairs, but your uncles and cousins are well versed in articles, money, food, taxes, and laws. They all have merit, and they can be used by Erlang to calm the hearts of the people of Liangzhou!"
Grandfather Song Tongyi came out first, and then led the rhythm for Zhang Zhao.
"Erlang, the talents of a certain Suo family are withering away, but they have fifty sets of armor and one hundred and twenty strong bows and crossbows left by their ancestors. They can be given to Erlang for the purpose of pacifying Liangzhou." Suo Sheng has no children to use, but he has
Armor and crossbows.
"Erlangjun, I was a servant who failed the emperor in white in the past. Fortunately, there is still a chance to make amends today. There are one hundred and fifty sons of the Luo family in Shazhou, who are good at battle formations and skilled in bow and horse. Please take care of them, Erlangjun!"
Luo Tongda stood up, the Luo family of Shazhou, the Suo family of Guazhou, and the Li family of Longxi were the three major martial families who returned to the rebel army after the Zhang family.
The talents of the Suo family and the Li family are now withering, but the Luo family still maintains a strong family heritage. Needless to say, the Luo family warriors are absolutely powerful.
The Song family and the Luo family made another bet, and the scene immediately became lively. Everyone was related, and the atmosphere was so lively. If someone came out, someone would come out, and if there was an armor, a bow, and a crossbow, they would come out.
After a while, a large number of elite disciples and armor from the Guiyi army were delivered to Zhang Zhao.
Especially the children of these rich families, they are not ordinary warriors. They are all capable of sprinting back and forth when mounted, able to fight in formations when dismounted, good at shooting from a distance, capable of cutting at close range, and they can also read and write. Most of them have studied the art of war.
, these are not only warriors, but also high-quality grassroots officers.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the future of the Guiyi Army!
A dangerous coup finally turned into forgiveness, and now it has turned into hope, and the smell of blood disappeared instantly.
The next successor of Guasha Prefecture has been determined. As Zhang Zhao's double father-in-law, Cao Yuanzhong, the paper framer of Guasha Prefecture who was responsible for observing and handling the envoys who were escorted by Fan, will definitely support Zhang Zhao.
