15. Zampu's father was reincarnated

Just after the night when Gao Lian made it hard to fall asleep, on the desert snowfield, the eagle's wings were stained with golden sunlight, skimming the blue sky, the four huge pagodas of the great Samye Monastery were shining under the sun, namely the White Pagoda, the Red Pagoda, the Black Pagoda and the Green Pagoda, among which the White Pagoda hid the most precious Buddhist scriptures, the Red Pagoda enshrined the relics of the Buddha, the ghosts of the Bon traitors and the classics of Bon were suppressed under the Black Pagoda, and the Green Pagoda represented the highest achievement of Western Tibetan architecture, which was made of green glaze, emitting a shocking dazzling brilliance.

Under the protection of these four temple towers, the main hall of Samye Monastery is like Mount Meru, standing on the foundation of the copper basin like saffron, the main hall is divided into three layers, the top layer is the Tianzhu style, due to the operation of the craftsmen of Khotan, the middle layer is the Xifan style, designed by the most outstanding craftsmen of the Xifan itself, and the lower layer is the Han and Tang Dynasty styles, which are drawn and constructed by the Han monks. The width of the courtyard walls around the main hall is determined by the distance shot by the greatest Zampu in the whole snow-capped mountain, Trisong Dezan, with his own arrows. At the glittering top hall, there are three gates, namely the Gate of Liberation, the Gate of Unwilling Liberation, and the Gate of Empty Liberation, and there are nets at the doors and windows to prevent birds from intruding on the plateau, and there are thin panels to prevent bees from flying in, and there are vast Buddha statues and decorative paintings like the sea.

It is said that when Trisong Detsen was cultivating Samye Monastery, he gathered the most fitted men and the most dignified women in the whole of Western Tibet, including his many concubines, and used the appearance and figure of this group of the most beautiful people as a reference to create Buddha statues such as Avalokiteshvara, Six-character Guanyin, Dumu, and Goddess of Light, which surrounded the hall at the top of the hall.

When the envoys of the Tang court, Cui Hanheng, the young eunuch of the palace, Shen Fang, the young eunuch of the palace, and Han Chaocai, the lieutenant of the central government, wore heavy robes to resist the severe winter cold of the snowfield, and stood on the large flat of Samye Monastery in turn, the eight huge bronze bells in the temple rang in unison, and the god Zanpu Trisong Detsen would immediately meet them at the second large ping.

Under the gorgeous treasure cover, Trisong Detsen wears a wide pure white lapel robe, his head is wrapped around the head like a red glow, and he wears a fine golden sword, and the guards behind him all wear beanies, with sharp short swords, and the palace maids holding the umbrella cover are painted with ochre-colored balls, and they draw inverted eight-character eyebrows, which is the "crying makeup" of Xifan.

The entire honor guard had just arrived at the edge of Daping—before meeting the Tang envoy, Tri Song Detsen was more concerned about another issue, the whereabouts of his parents' current reincarnation.

Therefore, accompanying Zangpu is the eminent monk Padmasambhava, who is also the actual designer of Samye Monastery.

"You say my father's reincarnation has been whereabouts?"

In the face of Zampu's question, Padmasambhava smiled and clasped his hands and said yes, the reincarnation of your father, the god Zampu, has indeed been found out.

During his reign, the Tang Dynasty and the Western Tibetan Dynasty fought for the Western Regions, a protracted and bloody war, but at that time the Tang army was superior, and won victories in various battlefields (Big and Small Bolu, Qinghai, Later Turkic, Turkish, Turkish, Jiannan), and after the tragic Battle of Shibao City came to an end, the Tang Army had knocked on the door to penetrate deep into the interior of Western Tibet.

Regarding the battle of Shibao City in the eighth year of Tianbao (749), some people say that the Tang army died tens of thousands, and only captured a small fortress in Xibo with four or five hundred people, which led to the record of the Tang army. To put it bluntly, this kind of person can't talk about military strategy, he can't even understand the map, why did Shibao City become the focus of Tang Fan's contention? It is because it is located in the source of the river, Hexi and Longyou of the junction of the important place, after the capture of Shibao City, the Tang army can be said to have completed the occupation and consolidation of the entire Hexi Jiuqu, Xifan not only the road to the north was choked, the door of the house is also equal to the hole, so the attack and defense of Shibao City, Tang and Fan both sides are doing their best, the four or five hundred people are just the number of people captured by the Tang army after the capture of Shibao City, at that time the entire Shibao City until Huangshui, must be covered with the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Tang and Tibetan armies. Wait until the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Tang general Ge Shuhan broke Hongji, Da Mo and other cities, Xuanzong ordered the establishment of counties and armies, to complete the occupation of Hexi Jiuqu, the famous Shence Army was newly set up to garrison Taoyang County at that time, so far Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, Beiting Tang power reached its heyday, just as Gao Shi's "Nine Qu Ci" praised Ge Shuhan, "Iron cavalry rampant Tielingtou, west to see Luo Xiao to take the marquis." Qinghai will only drink horses today, and the Yellow River does not need to be more autumn-proof. ”

After that, the strategy of the Tang army was to use the soldiers and horses of Anxi and Beiting to deal with the big food, in order to avenge the revenge of the Rus's arrow, and to prepare to use the soldiers and horses of Hexi and Longyou along the source of the river to destroy Xifan, in order to seek the effect of plowing the court and sweeping the holes. Of course, the general counteroffensive plan of the Tang Dynasty was completely shattered due to the "agitation of Yuyang Mo", but it cannot be denied that the Tang army was indeed fighting on all sides before the Anshi Rebellion, which is completely black. What "The Tang Army of Shibao City Won a Tragic Victory, and Xifan Became Famous in the First Battle" is even more nonsense, your door is lost, and you are still famous! Otherwise, Trisong Detsen's father, Chide Zuzan, died too unjustly!

That's right, it is precisely because Xifan was in Tianbao for eight to thirteen years, and the Tang army was defeated one after another (although Xifan rebelled against Nanzhao, but this could not form a fundamental threat to Tang), especially in the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Tang Longyou's general Wang rarely went deep into the source of the river, broke Xifan, and received several important towns in Xifan, resulting in the prestige of Chide Zuzan being wiped out. Dong Zebu and Lang. Mei Se instructed the mounted guards to kill.

Subi was originally a plateau country independent of Western Tibet, which was annexed more than 100 years ago. Kazuro Higashinobu. Seeing that Xifan was defeated and retreating in front of the Tang army, Mei Se thought that the dawn of restoration was coming, so she took a risk and killed Chide Zuzan.

However, it is a pity that these two did not take advantage of the victory after the murder of the king, but were killed by the thirteen-year-old son Trisong Dezan: the Subi royal family, the Mo clan and the Lang family were almost uprooted, among which the Subi prince Sinoluo fled to the Tang Dynasty and was later given the name "Li Zhongxin".

Almost at the same time, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and most of the elites of the Tang family Anxi, Beiting, Hexi, and Longyou were transferred back to Middle Earth.

Therefore, Zampu Chisong Dezan, who now has an advantage over Tang, was still unbelievable after getting the news from Shang Jiezan at the earliest: The Tang family actually dared to build a city in Pingliang in an attempt to launch a counterattack?

Tri Song Detsen still handed over a boot to the messenger Soma, and he also got a surprise from the high monk Lotus Mountain, his father who was killed, the reincarnation finally had a result.

Padmasambhava told Zampu, "Your father was reincarnated in Tianzhu. ”
