15. Father Zamp Incarnates
Just after the night when Gao Lian was sleeping hard, on the desert snowfield, the wings of the eagle were stained with golden sunlight and passed through the blue sky. The four huge temple towers of the great Samye Monastery shone brightly under the sun, namely the White Tower, the Red Tower, the Black Tower and the Green Tower. Among them, the White Tower contains the most precious Buddhist scriptures. The relics of the Buddha are enshrined in the Red Tower. Under the Black Tower, the ghosts of the Bon traitors and the classics of the Bon religion are suppressed. The Green Tower represents the highest achievement of Xifan architecture. It is made of green glass and emits a dazzling brilliance.
Under the circle of these four temples and pagodas, the main hall of Samye Monastery stands on the foundation of a copper basin like Mount Sumeru. The main hall is divided into three layers, the uppermost layer is in the style of the Indian style. Due to the operation of the craftsmen of the Tantrics, the middle layer is in the style of Xifan, designed by Xifan itself, and the lower layer is in the style of Han and Tang style, and is drawn and constructed by monks from Han. The width of the courtyard wall around the hall is determined by the process of shooting out by the greatest Zanpu, Chisong Dezan, the greatest Zanpu among the snow-capped mountains. There are three gates at the top hall, namely the formless liberation door, the no-willed liberation door and the empty liberation door. A grid is set up at the door and window to prevent birds from entering on the plateau from entering. There are also thin door panels to prevent bees from flying in, and there are Buddha statues and decorative paintings as vast as the sea.
It is said that when Chisong Dezan was building the Samye Monastery, he summoned the most toned men and dignified women in Xifan, including his many concubines. Using the appearance and figure of these most beautiful people as references, he created Buddha statues such as Aya Polo Guanyin, Six-character Guanyin, Mother Watson, and Goddess of Light, surrounding the hall on the top of the hall.
When the envoy of the Tang court, Cui Hanheng, Shaoqing of the Hall, Shen Fang and the official Han Chaocai were wearing heavy fur clothes to resist the severe cold of the snow field in winter, standing on the big ping of the Samye Monastery in turn, eight huge copper bells in the temple all sounded shocking mountains and rivers, and the god Zanpu Chisong Dezan would soon meet them at the second big ping.
Under the gorgeous treasure trove, Chisong Dezan was wearing a wide pure white lapel robe, with a red glow-like head, and an exquisite golden sword. The guards behind him were all wearing brimmed hats and sharp short swords. The Xifan palace maids holding umbrellas were all painted with ochre rounds and painted their eight-character eyebrows. This is Xifan's "crying makeup".
The entire guard of honor just arrived at the edge of Daping. Before meeting the envoy of Tang, Chisong Dezan was more concerned about another issue, the whereabouts of his parents' reincarnation.
Therefore, the one who accompanies Zanpu is a monk who has attained enlightenment and the actual designer of Samye Monastery.
"You say my father's reincarnation has a whereabouts?"
Facing Zanpu's question, Padmasambhava smiled and clasped her hands and said yes, the whereabouts of your father's reincarnation of the god Zanpu have indeed been found.
Chisong Dezan's father was Chisong Zuzan, who was almost the same as Emperor Xuanzong's rule. During his reign, the Tang and Xifan launched a protracted and bloody war in order to compete for the Western Regions. However, at that time, the Tang army was even better and won victory on various battlefields (Bulu, Qinghai, Later Turks, Tuqishi, Jiannan). When the tragic battle of Shibao City came to an end, the Tang army had already knocked on the door to the mainland of Xifan.
Regarding the Battle of Shibao City in the Eight Years of Tianbao (749), some people said that the Tang army died tens of thousands and only captured a small Xibo fort with four or five hundred people, which led to the Tang army's achievements. To put it bluntly, let alone military strategy, I can't even understand the map. Why did Shibao City become the focus of the battle between Tang and Tibet? It was because it was located in Heyuan, the key point of the handover between Hexi and Longyou. After seizing Shibao City, the Tang army can be said to have completed the occupation and consolidation of the entire Hexi Jiuqu. Xibo not only was the road to north and the gate of his family was also a hole. Therefore, the Tang and Tibet City both sides gave their all their strength to attack and defense, and the four or five hundred were just
The number of people captured by the Tang army after the capture of Shibao City. At that time, the entire Shibao City to the Huangshui River must have been covered with the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Tang and Turkish army. By the thirteenth year of Tianbao, the Tang general Geshuhan defeated Hongji, Damo and other cities, and Xuanzong ordered the establishment of counties and troops to complete the occupation of the Jiuqu land of Hexi. The famous Shence Army was newly established to defend Taoyang County at that time. At this time, the power of Tang in Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, and Beiting reached its peak, just like Gao Shi's "Nine Qu Ci" praised Geshuhan, "Iron Cavalry surrounds the Tieling Head, look at the west to obtain the title of marquis. Qinghai will only drink horses now, and the Yellow River does not need to be more careful of autumn."
After that, the Tang army's strategy was to use Anxi, Beiting troops to deal with the big food, to avenge Talas's revenge, and to use Hexi, Longyou troops along the Heyuan River to destroy Xifan in order to achieve the effect of plowing the cave. Of course, the Tang Dynasty's general counterattack plan completely failed due to the "Yuyang Feng instigation", but it cannot be denied that before the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang army did fight on all sides, which was completely unshakable. Now, some public accounts, such as "Nanzhao's Small Country Beats the Tang Empire's Far" and so on, are simply not worth laughing. "The Tang Army in Shibao City wins miserable victory, and Xifan becomes famous in a battle" is simply nonsense. Your door is lost, and it's not a big deal! Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unfair to die Chisong Dezan's father Chi Dezuzan!
That's right, it was precisely because Xifan had suffered a series of defeats against the Tang army from the eighth to the thirteenth year of Tianbao (although Xifan instigated Nanzhao, it could not pose a fundamental threat to the Tang Dynasty). Especially in the thirteenth year of Tianbao, the general of Longyou of Tang rarely went deep into Heyuan, broke Xifan, and collected several important towns in Xifan, which led to the extinction of Chide Zuzan's prestige. That year, he was the last "theory" of the Supi clan (equivalent to the prime minister). Dongzebu and Lang Meise instructed the riding guards to kill him.
Subi was originally a plateau country independent of the Western Boundary. It was annexed more than a hundred years ago, but it was the end of the East Zebu and Lang Meise who saw that the Western Boundary was retreating step by step in front of the Tang army. He believed that the dawn of restoration was coming, so he took the risk and killed Chide Zuzan.
Unfortunately, these two people failed to pursue the victory after killing the monarch, but were killed by Chisong Dezan, the thirteen-year-old son of Chisong Dezan: Subi royal family, the Mo family and the Lang family were almost uprooted, among which Subi prince Sinuoluo fled to the Tang Dynasty and was later named "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 drawn back to Central Earth. At this time, Xifan took advantage of the situation and occupied the land of Helong under the leadership of Chisong Dezan, and the advantages and disadvantages of the Tang and Borussia were reversed by a mystery.
So now Zamp Chisong Dezan, who has the advantage over Tang, was still unbelievable after receiving the news from Shang Jiezan: The Tang family actually dared to build a city in Pingliang and attempt to launch a counterattack?
Chisong Dezan still handed a boot to the messenger Soma. In addition, he was also surprised from the eminent monk Lotus Mountain. His murdered father finally had a result in his reincarnation.
Padmasambhava told Zamp: "Your father was reincarnated in India."
