Chapter 315: Banquet for Concubine Zhang De
The butler Wangluo is indeed qualified to speak like his master, just because he is not an ordinary person.
Wangluo is the most brave and combative Wangthozi clan in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and belongs to the jurisdiction of Yongchang Jiedu, which is next to the west of Yangtho City. Yongchang Jiedu has a standing army of 10,000, which is one-third of the standing army of the entire Nanzhao State. As one of the two governors of the six sections, why is the Yongchang festival so powerful?
The reason why the Nanzhao Kingdom is called Nanzhao is that the area around the Erhe River formed six edicts in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. The edict is actually the king, and our Han people will add another king to the southern edict, which is a repeated title, which is a mistake of the Central Plains Dynasty. Among the six kings, the southernmost king of the Erhe River, that is, Nanzhao, has always had his heart set on the Central Plains Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty until Xuanzong, he supported Nanzhao, and finally made Nanzhao unify the six edicts in the Piluo Pavilion era, centralize management, and support the establishment of vassal states. In the process of Piluo Pavilion's unification of Nanzhao, the two tribes on the ground of Yongchang Jiedu were an important force that firmly supported the unification of Piluo Pavilion and the Tang Dynasty.
Part of the Yongchang Festival is the Ailao people, the founding monarch of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Pi Luoge, and the ancestor of the Shilong clan, who now professes to be the emperor, came from the Ailao, so the Nanzhao and the Ailao have maintained a good relationship for generations.
The other part of Yongchang Jiedu is Wangthozi, which is also another species of Wuman. Yongchang Town has a heavy army to monitor the western plan, and also governs the tribes of gold teeth, lacquer teeth, silver teeth, embroidered feet, nose piercing, nudeness, grinding, Wangbu, and Waiyu department.
Xiang Chong's housekeeper Wangluo is the eldest son of King Wang, and he is the successor of Wangbu. According to him, Wangwang, the father of Wang, was named Wangjiarun, and according to him, Wangbu was built by Wangjiagan, one of the thirteen brothers of the Emperor's clan, and the edicts around the Erhe River were more or less expected to be of the bloodline of Wanggan.
Therefore, wherever the people of this tribe go, almost no one will do anything with them, unless they are vexatious.
As the eldest son of Wang Wang, Wang Luo doesn't need to be a housekeeper for you to ask for a reward at all, and he will be directly accepted by King Nanzhao to be appointed by the palace. Xiang Chong can make Wangluo a housekeeper, and we can see that on the ground of Nanzhao, this can only be done by a pivotal figure.
So, don't look at Chong Hee-hee-ha, Eight doesn't care, that's the foundation laid in the past thirty years.
So, why did Wangjiluo say that he should not be busy with the banquet first? Only Wang Thong knew it in his heart, so what did he count? And why?
Wang Hammer is not just a horse, he also made an appointment with two extraordinary people today. So, Wangnara told everyone to wait a little longer. When Xiang Chong asked Wangluo to inform him, he immediately posted to find the rich people and sent out two special posts at the same time. Who the hell is it?
One is Nanzhao Buxie Duan Zongmu, and the other is Concubine Zhang De.
Concubine Zhang Defei is known to be called Zhang Tao, and her grandfather is Fan Ming, the daughter of Fan Baht and Zhang Zhen, and the granddaughter of Zhang Chuang, the devil of heaven. Zhang Jieyu, who was given to Shilong by Xuanzong.
What does Duan Zongmu mean by this Bu Xie? Bu Xie, like Tan Xuan and Jiu Zan, is the ruler of the court. Duan Zongji is at the head of the six liquidation officials, that is, the prime minister. This person is also an incredible character.
Previously, when Feng You and the first king persuaded Li Sheng to reign, there was a powerful minister named Xuan Feng, who first killed the faint king and persuaded Long Sheng and set up the king's brother to persuade Li Sheng, and then set up the brother of Li Sheng to persuade Feng You eight years later, and served as the chief Qingping official for 40 years.
Although he was a powerful minister, it was obviously inappropriate to judge the monarch and ministers according to the literati of the Central Plains Dynasty, he had no intention of usurping, and the two successive generations of Nanzhao kings were very accomplished figures. Together, the monarchs and ministers pushed the military and political affairs of Nanzhao to the peak, and became a small court that the surrounding countries did not dare to look down on.
However, after supporting Shilong, he was killed by Duan Zongmu, in order to clear the obstacles for Shilong and let Shilong realize his ambitions in a big way. Why did Duan Zongji do this?
After Shilong was born, his father persuaded Feng You to be afraid that Quanchen Shengfeng would kill his son, and secretly handed over the child to Duan Zongyu to put the child in a fishing village by the Erhe River - Lijiazhuang, where he was raised by two lonely old men with no children and no daughters, and Shilong grew up fishing with the two old men.
Duan Zongmu secretly sent palace guards to live in Lijiazhuang as a private household, secretly protecting Shilong's safety, and pretending to be a martial artist to teach Shilong martial arts. It wasn't until Shilong was twelve years old that he asked Duan Zongji to welcome Shilong into the palace. Instead of expressing surprise, he congratulated everyone like him.
However, when the old king persuaded Feng You to die, the peak supported Shilong to ascend the throne. When Duan Zongbang arrived at the Tengyue Kingdom, a subordinate state of the Nanzhao Kingdom, he heard that the peak was still controlling the government, and sent a letter to the top of the book: Please welcome the golden Buddha offered by the king at the gate of the country.
The crown dress is dressed in the river tail city to greet you. When worshipping the Buddha, Duan Zongbang immediately beheaded him in front of the Buddha. This is the end of the situation of the crest of the apparatus in power. Duan Zongbang was at the top of the mountain and showed his prominence in the Nanzhao court.
This Duan Zongmu killed the peak, but he did not fall into the notoriety of killing the king.
He is a white barbarian of Han Chinese descent. These Han Bai barbarians are actually the descendants of the generals who unified all ethnic groups in the Erhe River and stayed in the Erhe River for generations to guard this area in the process of the Eastern Han Dynasty General Fubo and Xinxi Houma Aid. Because of the long time, it has nothing to do with the emperor after the change of the Central Plains Dynasty, and he has become a barbarian.
The white barbarians have always occupied an extremely important position in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and there are at least two white barbarians in the six major Qing officials in the court. The kings of Nanzhao in the past dynasties, without the support and planning of the white barbarians, many things could not be done.
The reason why Duan Zongmu was able to kill the top of the white barbarian, the top of the mountain was also afraid of the white barbarians, and if he offended the white barbarians for no reason, he, the chief Qingping official, would also be in danger. So the political nepotism of Nanzhao is probably like this.
In other words, the later Duan Dali Kingdom was actually the white barbarians who completely controlled the country. It is no longer just between the various ethnic groups, but the fate of the various ethnic groups in Nanzhao. Of course, the later Duan Dali Kingdom is not the same thing as Duan Zongmu at this time, it cannot be said that he became the king for his descendants, and this wind and horse are not related.
Big names like Duan Zongmu and Concubine Zhang Defei, can the horses of the Southern Zhao Kingdom and the king of the jade seller Zhao Wang be invited?
Everyone was in doubt, and Wangluo rushed in from the outside, shouting: "Master, Duan Buxie and Concubine Zhang De are here! ”
Yo hey, Wang Hammer really didn't cover it, these two really came.
A room full of twenty or thirty wealthy businessmen poured out of the street one after another, Wang beat the leader, Ling Mo and their rich merchants of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, one by one kneeling down on both knees, kneeling down on one knee, and paying homage.
Changyang Hou Wenlie, Pingchang Hou Qidiao, Pearl Hou Jieke, Zhushan Bomuyu, and Nanping Bowang Dajin from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty all bowed deeply and bowed down.
Nanzhao Laochen and Buxie Duan Zongmu came on horseback, traveling in casual clothes, led by four guard generals, brushing their white beards, laughing heartily, and striding over. Concubine Zhang Defei was supported by four attendants, and she also traveled in casual clothes, and she came down from her shoulders.
Wang Shu hurriedly introduced the three marquis and two uncles from the Tang Dynasty to them one by one. Duan Zongmu leaned back slightly, letting Concubine Zhang Defei walk in front.
Concubine Zhang Defei slightly gave Wen Lie, Qi Diaoyou, Jieke and other Hou Bo a thousand blessings, and lightly opened her mouth: "The fourth grandfather and the fifth grandfather have such a long life, and they also braved the wind and rain to come to Nanzhao to see me, and my niece really didn't want to go." The palace has already played Wudi, and we will meet here in Xiangchong today, and Wudi will give a banquet at noon tomorrow. ”
Wudi is the meaning of the so-called emperor of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, but the emperor with a northern accent was transformed by the Southern Zhao.
Wen Lie and Qi Diao hurriedly returned the salute, Wen Lie pushed a hand of Qi Diao again, and his mouth was sharp. The lacquer carving bowed again: "Niangniang thought so thoughtfully, I was flattered." Uderi took every opportunity, and he also personally summoned a few of our old men and asked the mother to thank him on his behalf. ”
Xiang Chong called for a banquet with five tables, Bu Xie Duan Zongmu, Concubine De Zhang Tao and the Tang Dynasty Sanhou and Ling Mo sat at one table, and Bu Xie, Concubine De's guard generals, inner courtiers and Yang Tho Bacheng Erhe Sanjie and other 21 wealthy businessmen sat at four tables. From noon to night, they were intimate, chatting with each other, and the noise was shocking.
During the banquet, Jieke and Ling Mo first invited out Concubine Zhang De, turned to the side room, took out a crystal mirror from their arms, and said: "The minister Pearl Hou Jieke made a special trip to visit Concubine De Niangniang in accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty. This is a side of the crystal treasure mirror given by the Tang Dynasty Emperor, expressing the nostalgia of the Tang Dynasty Emperor for his mother. ”
When Concubine Zhang Defei heard that the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty had not forgotten our concubines, who were far away in his palace, how tormented and sad the longing for her homeland was, she was immediately moved to tears.
She held the crystal treasure mirror that was difficult to estimate in her hand, knelt down in the direction of Chang'an to the north, and let the tears splash: "Long live the concubine Xie Wuhuang, may Your Majesty live a long life and a long national fortune!"
Jieke and Ling Milling helped it up, and Concubine De opened the crystal mirror from the gold-inlaid Nan box, which was an oval-shaped crystal treasure mirror, with a horizontal diameter of six inches and a vertical diameter of nine inches, decorated with pure gold and covered with pure gold. What a crystal should be processed into such a large treasure mirror, it is indeed a rare treasure.
With it, he looked at his face, and suddenly felt that his face was like a fairy, which made people's hearts shake. Concubine De was so happy that she couldn't help but burst into tears.
After looking at it for a while, he put away the crystal treasure mirror and praised it sincerely: "It has been ten years since this palace came to Nanzhao, although there are family members who continue to carry letters, but today is the first time to see relatives. The mood of this palace is really beyond words. If you need to do something in the palace, just ask. ”
Jieke immediately knelt down and said: "Niang Niang Chitose, the Tang Dynasty has an urgent matter, and you must go out to complete it." This is a handwritten letter from your uncle Shouchun Gong Fan Ming on the front line in Hanzhou, and another one is for Shilong. This strategy was personally taught by Huang Zhao, the god of sesame dealers, and lacquer carving, the god of spring wine, even if Shilong was obsessed, there must be no good fruit. ”
Concubine Zhang Tao was surprised and delighted after reading the two letters. In the letter, the eldest brother Shouchun Gong Fan Ming said to her:
Concubine De:
Since you married Nanzhao far away and followed Ding Shilong, ten spring and autumn seasons have passed in the blink of an eye. On the occasion of the first month, the more I think about family affection. Fortunately, Linhai Wang, Changyang Hou, Pingchang Hou, Chao Hou, Yu Hou, Pearl Hou, Zhushan Bo, Nanping Bo and so on went to Nanzhao to do things, I have to carry this letter from the foolish brother, I wish the little sister a good day and a good appearance, and the husband and wife are new at any time. The Pearl Marquis brought the things given by the Son of Heaven, and there are still important things to ask you to meet. Foolish brother, please consider what to do. Thousands of miles apart, seeing the words like meeting, tears and pen, praise Shiqi.
Foolish brother: The Tang Dynasty Zuo Weiwei General Shouchun County Gong Fan Bi is hereby presented.
On the twenty-second day of the first month of the eleventh year of Xiantong.
Concubine De read the eldest brother's letter, held the letter tightly to her chest, and suddenly burst into tears, crying silently.
