73. Return to Western Xia
Before returning to the Great Song Dynasty, we still went to the Western Xia to repair first, many of the people in the group had injuries on their bodies and needed to be healed and recuperated, and I also wanted to consolidate the power of the Western Xia, originally my plan was to destroy the Western Xia and then attack the Great Liao, with a unified and consolidated force to deal with future challenges. Now that Western Xia has surrendered to my banner first, it is natural that many adjustments need to be made.
I stayed in Xixia for more than a month, and spent half of my time in Haimu Temple, further learning and mastering the laws of the mantra, and in the practice of the Dafa of the disintegration of the heavenly demons, the Buddha's mantra played a major role, and I hope to be able to further combine the two, so I took the time to ask Master Bai Yima for advice. Learning and comprehension are often two different things, just like the Buddhist scriptures are everywhere, and the content of the Buddha's teachings can be obtained everywhere, but how many people can really comprehend the true meaning of the Buddha and become a Buddha on the ground? Therefore, it is very necessary to ask Bai Yima, a master who has practiced the Buddha's mantra for most of his life.
This time, I was discussing with Master Bai Yima and Brother Dalun about the mudra of the mantra, and the Tibetan Buddhism is accompanied by various mudras while reciting the mantra, so it is naturally not to be underestimated to be able to accurately grasp the benefit of the Buddhist mudra to the mantra. Unfortunately, the time of the Buddha is too far away from us, and Guru Bai Yima said that now that we have entered the era of the end of the Dharma, many of the Buddha's Dharma tips for purifying all living beings have been lost, and those who come after can only reproduce the wisdom of the Buddha according to their own understanding. I watched as Guru Bai Yima demonstrated and explained the Buddhist mudras that he had mastered all his life, and the various true qi routes simulated in my mind were running at high speed, and before I knew it, my hands were sealed, and at the same time, the true qi naturally cooperated with the process of sealing and flowed according to the path that had not been run before.
Bai Yima and Dalun looked at Murong Fu in disbelief, and felt that the invisible Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was rapidly flowing towards Murong Fu's position, and a whirlpool of Yuan Qi seemed to be formed with Murong Fu's position as the center, and the whirlpool became bigger and bigger, even blowing the wind banner outside the door. This is a genius favored by God, and it may also be an opportunity for the revival of Buddhism, and the two of them thought of it in unison. Neither of them disturbed Murong Fu, who had entered a state of epiphany, on the contrary, they invariably stopped the operation of their true qi, and even closed their eyes to avoid disturbing him.
When I woke up from the epiphany, it was already the bright moon, and the yin and yang transformation of the golden crow and the moonlight made me feel the changes in the attributes of heaven and earth and the passage of time, so I took the initiative to stop the derivation of the Buddha's mudra, and when I opened my eyes, Bai Yima and Dalun also woke up from the meditation at the same time. The two of them looked at me with great eyes, and Bai Yima said: "Amitabha, good and good, with the wealth and profound heritage of Murong Shizhu, my Buddhist mudra reproduces the style of the Buddha back then, and the revival of Buddhism is just around the corner!" Dalun also said: "If the junior brother is willing to become a monk and promote the Dharma, he is willing to serve you as the master and follow you for life." ”
"Hahaha," I said with a dry smile, "the master is too humble, and the disciples only occasionally have some understanding, and the Dharma is not very profound." The monks and the house are all Taoists, and Senior Brother Dalun is in love. "Both of them seem to have the intention of pulling me into the empty door to pass the mantle, which is not in line with my mind, I said a few more words, talked about the experience of the Buddha seal and left in a hurry.
In addition to refining the mantras and mudras of the Tibetan Buddha, strengthening the ties between the Tangut kingdom is also an important purpose of this trip, and I hope to make it an important and stable base for me to dominate the world. Therefore, during the Western Xia period, I often went to the Western Xia Palace to visit my father-in-law, Li Qianshun. And he seemed to be very respectful of me, telling me a lot of secrets, many secrets that can only be mastered as a king of a country, such as the secrets of the Zhao and Song royal families, the relationship between Liaoxia and Xia, the secret methods of army training, and so on.
Li Qianshun not only recruited me as a concubine and named me the generalissimo of the Western Xia Dynasty, but also gave me half of the territory near the Song Dynasty as a fief, and gave me 10,000 guards and pro-army, which was known as assisting in herding horses and sheep and managing the fief. It was clear that he wanted to pull me into the chariot of the Western Xia Kingdom, and after accepting his "kindness", it is conceivable how much trust the suspicious Zhao and Song courts still have in me. According to the news from Tianxiang Pavilion, the Song court has frequently held court meetings recently to discuss issues about the Murong family, and topics such as whether Murong Fu has the intention of rebellion, the tail is not down, and the yellow robe is very popular. If I am a loyal minister like Di Qing, I guess I have to wipe my neck to prove my innocence, but unfortunately I disappointed them, I am not that kind of stupid.
On the prairie, Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, and I were watching the Protector Army led by Lu Junyi and the Western Xia soldiers fighting against the Qiang on a small hillside. The second is that the warriors are good at fighting but lack strategy, like many reckless men on the grassland, although they are skilled in arching and horses, they lack unified leadership and the ability to plan on the battlefield, and will only rush forward in a swarm; Third, the power is huge, and the Qiang people have a large number, which are widely distributed in the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, Liao and Western Regions.
Li Qianshun said with emotion: "In the eyes of the Great Song people, most of the prairies are barbarians, in fact, since the Tang Dynasty, with the mutual communication of various ethnic groups, the cultural essence and bloodline of the Han and Hu ethnic groups have long penetrated each other, and even the Tang royal family is mainly the blood of the Xianbei people. Our party is known as the eight departments of the party, of which the Tuoba Department is derived from the Tuoba Department of the Xianbei people, and it is the most powerful among the party departments. To be honest, you and I both have the blood of the Xianbei clan in our veins. Tracing back to the ancestors, it has to be said that the Xianbei people are a great nation, which originated from a branch of the Donghu tribe during the Zhou Dynasty. After Xianbei destroyed the Xiongnu, the leader Tan Shikui was promoted as an "adult" by the Xianbei tribes, and established tribal alliances including Yuwen, Murong, Tuoba, Duan, and Qifu. ”
I listened quietly, while paying attention to the combat direction of Lu Junyi's combined army on the field, Li Qianshun continued: "After the death of Tanshi Kui, the Xianbei tribal alliance disintegrated, the Murong clan in Xianbei established the Great Yan Kingdom, and the Tuoba Department established the Northern Wei Dynasty and ruled for more than 140 years, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was later split into Northern Qi and Northern Zhou, and the Tuyuhun from the Murong clan migrated to Longshang to form the Tuyuhun in the Qiang region, which was later destroyed by Tubo. The Xianbei people are a great nation, not only to establish a number of powerful countries, but also to produce a large number of people, not to mention that the Yang and Li families of the Sui and Tang dynasties are Xianbei Han people, and there are many Xianbei people in the dignitaries of the two dynasties - there are more than 20 prime ministers, and there are countless other Shangshu Shilang and Du Du Assassin History. The Central Plains ethnic group is actually a mixed ethnic group composed of nomadic peoples such as the Xianbei ethnic group and the Han ethnic group, Yang Jian usurped the Zhou Jiansui Dynasty, the ruling group of the Xianbei Northern Zhou Dynasty was basically retained, and the Sui Dynasty court was full of Xianbei officials, and even the Dugu Empress of Emperor Wen of Sui was a Xianbei person. ”
"The Dugu family is a branch of the Tuoba family, out of three queens and a queen mother, the Xianbei family has a strong personality and strong power, and has profoundly influenced the three dynasties of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Great Sui and the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's grandmother, biological mother and queen are all Xianbei people, in fact, at least three-quarters of the Li Tang family has Xianbei blood, Li Shimin's brave and tenacious wolf character is inseparable from the Xianbei blood. The Tang Dynasty's "fat is beautiful" is completely different from the thin beauties that the Han people usually love, which deeply reflects the bloodline and imprint of the Li Tang Xianbei tribe, but the Han people have never recognized it. ”
Li Qianshun talked eloquently, and I have to say that this grassland emperor did not have the style of a grassland barbarian at all, but had a bit of Confucian elder demeanor, and told the historical origin of the Xianbei people, which was thought-provoking. I compared his words with the family genealogy, nodded in acquiescence, and then said, "The emperor talks deeply about the historical origin of the Xianbei people, but what advice do you have?" ”
Li Qianshun turned his head and looked at me with a blazing gaze and said: "The Xianbei clan is a noble and excellent race, our ancestors have many emperors, you and I have the same Xianbei blood flowing in our bodies, and your current cultivation is even more extraordinary, reaching the level of ten thousand enemies." I hope that in the future, if someone rules the world, that person will be you! If you can ascend the throne as the emperor in the Great Song Dynasty, then I am willing to follow the example of the Heavenly Sword Song Que and abdicate to give way to the country. If you lack manpower to conquer the world, the warriors of my Great Xia Kingdom are your strongest backing. Although our Great Xia Kingdom now rules the world with Confucianism and Taoism, we always believe that only the descendants of the grassland warriors can compete for the world, especially in today's era when many countries coexist and there are many strong people. ”
My heart shook, and I thought for a while before I said: "My father-in-law's appreciation makes Murong inexplicably grateful, but Murong Fu has no intention of competing for the world at the moment, I can only guarantee that if the Great Xia Kingdom does not live up to me, I will live up to the Great Xia Kingdom." ”
"Hahaha!" Li Qianshun smiled and said, "It is worthy of being the head of the Xiaoyao faction and the nobles of the Xianbei clan, and he doesn't even take the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in his eyes, okay!" I believe that as long as the virtuous son-in-law is alive for one day, my Great Xia Kingdom will be able to settle down in peace for one day, and if the virtuous son-in-law needs anything in the future, it will be good to send someone to bring the letter over! ”
I nodded silently, knowing that there was more burden on my shoulders, and I couldn't help but sigh that the stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility and obligation, life is like the Yellow River, although it is wrapped in a lot of mud and sand, but it can only keep running forward, every day and every night.
The Qiang soldiers were defeated, although they had more soldiers than us, although their bows and horses were more skilled than ours, but under the excellent command and impact of Lu Junyi, tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers dissolved quickly like an iceberg under the scorching sun, and it was no surprise that most of the Qiang people knelt down and surrendered, the Qiang soldiers were very brave when they fought, but surrender was also very common, the rules of the grassland were like this, who listened to whom, and the big fist had the final say. Compared with ordinary grassland people, the Xianbei people seem to be inherently better in leadership, command and bravery, so there are often situations where a small group of Xianbei people dominate most of the grassland people, such as the Western Xia Tuoba Xianbei against the Western Xia Qiang people, and the Tuyuhun Xianbei against the Qiang people. It may also be that the Xianbei people attach more importance to the study of strategy, and the Xianbei people have always attached great importance to learning Han culture, from the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Tang Dynasty to the Western Xia. It's embarrassing to think about it, I used to laugh and despise Han classics in front of Yu Yan all day long, and I really don't know what to do.
Promote Lu Junyi to be a ranger general and the head of the Hetao fiefdom, by the way, I am very optimistic about this kid's leadership and command skills, this is a natural general, I asked him to strengthen army training, build the strongest team of the Protector Army, and leave the Eagle Palace and Yanshanwei part of the people to assist in management, I took the Yinchuan princess, Yu Yan and the Mi clan back to the Song Kingdom.
