Chapter 1419 Postscript: It's All Memory
Once you enter the city gate, you will find a straight and wide stone road leading to the main building of the Holy Emperor Temple, the Holy Emperor's Palace, and on both sides of the stone road are beautifully carved stone pillars, which divide the square into areas.
And in these areas, there are different statues, which should be some character events.
Walking towards the first area on the left, Li Ke saw seven statues on the square that were slightly bent towards the Holy Emperor's Palace, and he walked directly to the front of this statue group, where there is an introduction.
"Fire bearer: Dorjee from a Tibetan serf...... Waiting for the statue of the seven people, they were in that dark and ignorant era, the seven people accepted the teachings of the Holy Father, they took the thoughts of the Holy Sect, with the torch of thought, resolutely returned to Tibet, and became the flame bearers of the Holy Father's thoughts. ”
"Before he set out, Dorjee had the determination that he would never return, and he once said that there were millions of serfs and slaves like him in Tibet, although he had been freed from the life of serfs. However, there are still countless serf brothers in Tibet. ”
"So the seven pioneers bravely returned to Tibet, and when the leader of Tubo at that time, that is, Songtsen Gampo, the later Duke of the Tang Dynasty, led the army to attack the Tianzhu Continent, Dorjee and others spread Li Ke's thoughts among the serfs in Tubo to the whole Qinghai-Tibet serfs."
"In cooperation with the first batch of agents in history at that time, Li Feng and others, Zeng turned into a single house, and later set off the famous Tubo serf liberation incident in history."
This is also the first time that Li Ke's thought has bloomed with that unconcealable brilliance in history. To this day, Li Ke's thought is still the guiding light on the road of Datang's progress. ”
Looking at the seven Dorjee Seven people wearing serf clothes, bending down slightly, with perseverance, hope, and respect on their faces, Li Ke's spirit was also in a trance.
Is this what the seven of them looked like when they were younger? Li Ke had never seen them young, and although the painter who sketched them was arranged by Li Ke, when Li Ke first met them, they were already sixty years old.
Because of the serf life when they were young, they were already very old when they were sixty years old, and it can only be said that there is some resemblance between their eyebrows and these statues.
Their sketches have always been kept in Datang, but Li Ke has a lot of things, and he has not had a chance to see them.
Li Ke finished reading these statues, and then walked forward silently, and came to the second area, the statues of this group of people are Li Feng and others just mentioned, and in their introduction, there are the first batch of intelligence officers and agents in the real sense of the Tang Dynasty.
Ahead, this time it was the statue of Murong Shun, and behind it were the statues of the kings of the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions, such as Ashina Shilu and Jiang Quhu, and on the other side of them were two people holding a thick book in their hands.
The cover of this book is engraved with four words "Yang Luo's Travels", and when he saw these four words, Li Ke remembered these two people.
Yang Lin and Luo Bai: The former envoys of the Queen's Kingdom, the tribe to which the Queen's Kingdom belonged ignored the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and took the initiative to attack the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and was later wiped out by the Holy Sect.
Because the king of the queen kingdom surrendered, these two people, as the envoys who stayed in Chang'an, finally refused the retention of the Holy Sect and chose to return to the queen state, and the latter two lived in the queen country for five years and set off together, spending 27 years traveling to every state in the Tang Dynasty, writing the famous 2.12 million words of the masterpiece "Yang Luo's Travels".
"Yang Luo's Travels" is the first geographical history book in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and the famous diplomat Chen Xuanzang wrote "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", which has become the most important supplementary part of the history of the Tang Dynasty.
So far, the geographical records and descriptions of some frontier areas of the Tang Dynasty still come from these two geographical historical books.
The statue is based on a portrait left by the two men when they visited Qinghai Prefecture to worship the ancestral hall of the Holy Sect at that time.
In addition, there are statues of the former Western Turkic Khans, as well as statues of the last princes of Persia who were later attached to the Tang Dynasty, as well as the portraits of envoys from Arabia, Byzantium and other countries, who took the train from near the Caspian Sea to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to visit here.
However, these statues were probably carved together when they were rebuilt more than 800 years ago.
Some of the statues were also damaged and later replaced.
But some of the statues have been there for more than 800 years.
Sure enough, if you pull out any of them, they are all hundreds of years old.
Leaving the statue forest, there are two shadow walls in front, and the front of these shadow walls is carved with pictures of Li Ke when he implemented new policies in Qinghai, such as cash-for-work, building Chihai City, fishing in Qinghai Lake, and all herdsmen transporting boats from Longyang Gorge to Qinghai Lake.
Behind the shadow wall are the names of some governors and generals of Qinghai Prefecture and the Western Regions, such as Qiao Shiwang, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian, Changsun Chong, Du He, etc.
After walking through these, Li Ke is in front of the main body of the Holy Emperor Temple, its appearance is the traditional architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, but from the perspective of the front, it is strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as the traditional architecture of the Tang Dynasty.
Traditional palaces such as the Taiji Palace, although there are red pillars in front, the whole palace cannot be as large as the building in front of it.
And the traditional palace uses wooden pillars, but here are all stone pillars, and it is the kind of huge stone pillars that have at least two people hugging each other, the height of the stone pillars is at least 20 meters or more, and the whole palace has two floors from the outside, and its height is not close to 50 meters high.
But think about what the little assistant said before, its roof is all gilded tiles, and although the four statues of the Four Holy Beasts on the four sides of the roof are not big, if they are pure gold, it is estimated that there are many tons.
As the crowd of tourists followed the order, everyone respectfully entered the main hall, and the main hall also had huge supporting columns, and even these stone pillars were taller than the outer pillars.
Li Ke was a little speechless, this looks like a traditional building on the outside, but in fact, the interior is more like a Roman and other architectural styles.
But think about it, if these buildings want to have a long enough shelf life, they can only use stone columns, not even reinforced concrete.
And in the entire hall, there are statues of two people on the main position, Li Ke on the left, and Li Yan on the right.
The statue should be carved according to Li Ke's middle-aged appearance, unlike the outside, the statue inside is not gilded, it should also be colored as a clay sculpture, at least it looks like a real person.
When it was his turn, he looked at a Taoist chief next to him handing over three pillars of incense, and Li Ke could only helplessly put three pillars of incense on himself.
