Chapter 105: The Tibetan Messenger

June Gengyin (13) in the first year of Qinghui. At the end of the day, the political listening activities in the vertical arch hall gradually came to an end.

"The ...... of the king" Zichen Palace sentenced Ding Du of the Protocol Academy, and came to Zhao Xin to report: "The envoy of Hexi Jiedu, the Baoshun army stayed, Liangzhou, Yaozhou Thorn History, and the chief of Miaochuan sent an envoy to the court, and wanted to meet the king, and the minister dared to ask if he was summoned?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Xin nodded.

So, Ding Du bowed and bowed: "Weichen respects the king's order!" ”

"The king of Tang has an order, order the envoy to go on a pilgrimage!" Ding Du turned around and chanted loudly outside the hall.

"The king of Tang has an order, and the messenger will go on a pilgrimage to see him!" The muezzin's voice, layer after layer, was transmitted outward.

So, under the guidance of the ceremonial officials, a stout Tibetan nobleman wearing a traditional Tibetan wool robe (a kind of cow wool textile) and wearing a three-inch arm ornament decorated with gold and silver on his arm, about thirty years old, and his members of the mission, about a dozen people, respectfully came to Zhao Xin.

As soon as he saw Zhao Xin, who was sitting on the throne, he immediately fell to the ground, kowtowed, and bowed: "Foreign Minister Li Song, bow down a hundred times, and knock to see the king!" ”

The attitude is very pious, and the demeanor is very respectful.

It's almost like a believer in the Great Xiangguo Temple, offering incense and praying to the Bodhisattva and the Buddha.

Actually, it's not much worse.

And the members of the Tibetan mission behind this person had a more respectful attitude than him!

Everyone was lying on the ground, trembling hands and feet, and trembling bodies.

It was as if they were not facing the Great Song and Tang kings, but a living god!

No way!

The Tibetan people worship Buddha, which has reached the point of almost sickness.

The members of the mission have been in Bianjing for a few days, and these days, they have heard and seen the sacred deeds of the Great Song and Tang kings, and they have even seen the ritual of planting pox.

So the piety and fear in my heart were magnified to the extreme.

Almost everyone regards the Great Song and Tang Dynasty kings on the throne as the Buddha alive.

"Wait a minute, please get up!" Zhao Xin said slowly, he deliberately adjusted the speed and intonation of his speech, so that his way and speed of speaking were closer to the frequency of chanting by Tibetan monks.

As a result, these people became more religious.

"The foreign minister bows to thank the king for his grace!" As the envoy, Li Song got up tremblingly, didn't even dare to look up, only dared to bow his head, and said respectfully: "By the order of my lord, the foreign minister is coming to the Chinese Son of Heaven today......"

He respectfully asked people to take the oath written by his master himself, as well as the map of the Qingtang Dynasty and the population book he brought, and then put it in his hand and raised it reverently: "And I offer my lord's oath and the Qingtang Kanyu and the population tax book, and beg the great Song Dynasty to be gracious, and not hesitate to be gracious to the small country......."

Zhao Xin listened and waved his hand, Ding Du immediately stepped forward, took the oath and the atlas he offered, and then presented all these things to Zhao Xin's case.

The content of the oath is naturally that the envoy of the Hexi Festival swore to be a Song minister forever, for generations, to pay tribute and sacrifice to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and was willing to assist the Great Song Dynasty in attacking the Western thieves.

Moreover, unlike other vassals who like to lie, fool and perfunctory Great Song.

This festival envoy really did it.

From the first year of Baoyuan to the rebellion of Yuan Hao, this festival envoy, every time he entered the oath, he would follow the content of the oath and attack Yuan Hao's flank.

After February, this Jiedu envoy took the lead in responding to the call of the Great Song Dynasty, sending troops to block Yuan Hao's trade routes, and repeatedly sent cavalry to chase and intercept Yuan Hao's merchants.

As a result, there were problems with the supply and supply of Yuan Hao's army, which strongly supported the great cause of counterinsurgency in the Great Song Dynasty.

Fan Zhongyan, Xia Zhu, and Han Qi have all written books to ask for credit.

It's the same this time.

Before the oath arrived in Bianjing, Jiao Guluo had already organized 5,000 Tubo cavalry to cross the Yellow River and attack Yuan Hao's forces in the Xiping Mansion.

But he has done the duty of a vassal.

Therefore, after Zhao Xin took these things, he said to the messenger named Li Song: "The Jiedu envoy has always been loyal to our dynasty, and the father and the emperor and the ministers have also praised the Jiedu for their loyalty in front of Lone many times!" ”

"What does the messenger come to ask for the sake of the moderation?"

"King!" Li Song immediately bowed and said: "My lord has nothing else to ask for, but to ask the king to open and shave for the prince Dong Yu......"

"If the king agrees, if the Great Song has a request, my lord should do anything!"

When he had finished speaking, the messenger bowed his head deeply, and his heart was troubled.

What he was most afraid of was the refusal of the king of the Great Song and Tang Dynasties.

And this is highly likely to happen.

Because, since decades ago, the Great Song Dynasty, which represents Chinese orthodoxy, has been like a scumbag, playing with the feelings of the Tibetan people.

In the past, the Six Grains and Tubo Alliance were played to death by the Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty.

And the current Qingtang Tubo is also facing the same dilemma as the six grains and Tubo back then.

Zampu Jiaoluo is getting old, and the new generation of princes is doing their own thing.

There is even more Miaochuan inside, who thinks about destroying Buddha all day long.

If Dong Yu can't get the consecration and shaving of this Tang King, then the young Dong Yu in the future may not be his brother's opponent at all.

Even, he may have to be used and controlled by Yuan Hao, the enemy.

Then it will be the same as the six grains of Tubo back then, and it will be destroyed by the party members.

"The Jiedu envoy is ...... heavy" Zhao Xin said slowly: "My dynasty has always been generous to loyal ministers, as long as the Jiedu envoy continues to be loyal to my dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will not hesitate to reward him!" ”

When Li Song heard this, he was overjoyed and wanted to worship.

Zhao Xin said: "It's just ......"

"Lonely is not a monk, and he doesn't know anything about shaving or consecration......"

"It's better to ...... like this"

Zhao Xin said softly: "Lonely cousin emperor, ask for the title of a meritorious envoy for the Jiedu envoy, and then seal the Jiedu envoy as the 'Buddha of the Western Heavens', and order the Jiedu envoy to supervise the Qingtang River west area, and protect the ......Dharma for the monks who go west."

"If the envoy is willing, he can send the prince to Bianjing, and the Lone Hui will personally take the prince with him as an attendant official......"

If it is in the past, Zhao Xin's last condition can be said to be extremely rude.

Because that's almost no different from a hostage.

But now, Zhao Xin's condition made the envoy ecstatic.

The king of the Great Song and Tang Dynasty, the living god of the Medicine Buddha, was willing to let Dong Yu serve him?

Isn't this tantamount to telling all the Tibetan nobles that Dong Yu is the protector of the Medicine King?

In the future, the status is naturally as stable as an iron bucket!

At that moment, Li Song knelt down and kowtowed ecstatically: "Shangguo Hongen, Hexi will be grateful and die for the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Even if there is no last reward, in Li Song's opinion, the conditions given to Hexi by the Great Song Dynasty are already very generous!

Canonizing Zampu as a meritorious envoy and sealing the 'Western Heaven Protector Buddha' means that the Great Song Dynasty admits that Zampu is the son of the Buddha of Tubo!

The Great Song Dynasty had a high status among the Tibetan Buddhist monks and believers in the Qingtang Dynasty and Hehuang.

This endorsement alone is enough to make Zampu's rule stable!

Back then, Liugu Tubo, if there was this endorsement of the Great Song Dynasty, why was it destroyed by Li Deming?
