Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Why was Emperor Wu so keen on Buddhism and Taoism that he even invited the abbot of such an ordinary temple to meet him?
You should know that the reputation of Qingyang Temple at that time was not great, the temple was very small, and the incense in the temple was far less abundant than it is now.

It was also when the old emperor came to power that Qingyang Temple gradually became famous among the people.

At that time, it was the time of the first Western Expedition, and Emperor Wu should have never behaved in such weird ways.

Because the previous host did not record a single word about the meeting with Buddha.

Even Emperor Wu had such a tendency at that time, but later generations did not make any comments on those pages.

Because the previous host did not record a single word about the meeting with Buddha.

Even Emperor Wu had such a tendency at that time, but later generations did not make any comments on those pages.

This is what Jiang Sile is puzzled about. The only explanation should be her speculation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sile couldn't wait to look down again.

Emperor Wu's second western expedition had a very special result.

Whether it was for Daxia or the Yuezhi at that time, this battle could be said to be undefeated.

Because Daxia's hostility is already very obvious, and the Yuezhi people who predict that Daxia will attack again sooner or later are well prepared. Even the foolish and extravagant King of Yuezhi does not want his throne to be taken away in vain. Go, plus there are many fierce generals in the Yuezhi Kingdom and many sharp warriors in the grassland.

Throughout the entire war, Emperor Wu did not gain the upper hand. The two armies fought to the death on the plains above Wolf's Throat.

The soldiers on both sides suffered numerous casualties, and the battle remained stalemate for three days.

The Yuezhi army could not take a step forward, and the soldiers of Daxia could not take a step forward. After the bloody battle on the plains, the lives of the soldiers were wasted.

After that, there is the famous Mukeshan peace.

Lord Mukeshan, the Yuezhi's senior official, had compassion on the common people and pitied the two armies in a deadly battle for several days. Tens of thousands of people died in the battle on the plains.

Lord Mukeshan was originally a fleeing Keshi. He was once captured by the Yuezhi army. Fortunately, King Zuoxian of the Yuezhi valued him.King Zuo Xian, who was in charge of state affairs, saw that this man had outstanding intelligence, so he specially picked him up from prison and entrusted him with important tasks.

Soon after, he was put in the important position of King Yuezhi and became the senior official of Yuezhi. He was responsible for grain, grass and military supplies and other matters, and he was under the command of King Zuoxian.

Mr. Mukeshan was soft-hearted and compassionate. It was pitiful that the soldiers on both sides died in the battlefield but no one buried their bones. The war has been in a stalemate, and the situation seems to be entangled in glue.

It seems that no matter how big the casualties are, it is meaningless.

This made Mukeshan even more determined. He first reported to King Yuezhi that he would negotiate peace with Daxia.

"If Daxia refuses, then this will be an unjust war. I, the Yuezhi, can summon all the tribes in the grassland to attack the brutal Daxia together."

"If Daxia agrees, the Yuezhi will have a place to breathe and there will be no need to waste national power on the battlefield. They can recuperate as soon as possible."

Mukeshan's words moved King Yuezhi.

This gave Yuezhi the idea of ​​​​peace talks.

After all, long-term hard and deadly battles are just a waste of resources and warriors.

So, with the royal order from King Yuezhi, he rushed to the camp where the Daxia people were stationed alone.

Emperor Wu admired his courage and courage and received him. However, as soon as they met, he was shocked by Dr. Mukeshan's conversation.

He even asked the palace servants to serve him tea, and the two held hands and talked.

Finally, under Mukeshan's remarks, Emperor Wu agreed to peace talks with the Yuezhi, and the two countries re-divided their territories with the Wolf's Throat as the boundary.As the person who played the biggest role in this battle and the peace talks, Mukeshan not only became a noble in Yuezhi for his merits, but was also highly appreciated by Emperor Wu. He was the first prairie man to be granted a title.

It is precisely because of this recuperation that the next battle will be even more brutal.

When Jiang Sile looked up at Ayi, he asked about the story of Lord Mukeshan in Qingyi dialect.

Ayi looked up and thought for a moment, then said something like this to Jiang Sile: "Anle, he may have a big attack, but he is not a good person."

Seeing Jiang Sile's confused eyes, Ayishi continued: "When I was in class, the teacher said that adults like Mukeshan can be allowed to manage finances and manage the country, but they cannot be Put him in the army, let alone let him go to peace talks."

In his trance, Ayi seemed to see a scene from his childhood class. Their exam right virtuous king Wu Nandun kindly held a paper fan in his hand and tapped the three of them on their heads.

"Interesting." When Jiang Sile looked at Ayi, his eyes were gentle that he had never noticed.

When she looked at Ayi with a smile, she expected him to continue talking.

"The teacher said that the Yuezhi's demise was due to his hypocrisy. It was precisely because the two countries cultivated their own voices that Daxia, which had the most population and strength, finally wiped out the Yuezhi Kingdom."

Ayi frowned, seeming sad and confused.

"So - Chanyu is very wary of literati." As he said this, he looked at Jiang Sile and grinned.

"Except for teachers, all important officials in Qingyi's government belong to the Qingyi royal family, even if there are some positions that require a highly respected Qingyi person."

"I see..." The doubts in Jiang Sile's brows dissipated. No wonder she was not familiar with this famous person who forged an alliance between the two countries.

Jiang Sile smiled and nodded at A Yi, then lowered his head and continued to read the yellowed pages.

After that, there were many small things, such as the harvest in the fields and the money for incense in the temple.The new host recorded every stroke in detail.

Jiang Sile watched as he transformed from clumsy to neat and mature.

I don’t know how many years passed, but the records on the book pages finally mentioned Emperor Wu again.

Jiang Sile moved in her seat. She couldn't wait any longer.The most important part was coming soon, and she couldn't help but feel excited and full of expectations.

Can……

Jiang Sile frowned as he looked at the short record, which was only two lines long.

No wonder Monk Yuanli allowed her to take back these books related to Qingyang Temple affairs. It turned out to be because he had already read and searched for them and had no clues.

Regarding the candle passed down from Qingyang Temple and the record of Emperor Wu's third Western Expedition, there are only two short lines in this manuscript, and the number of words is estimated to be less than fifty.

The above is simply written.

Emperor Wu conquered the Yuezhi three times and achieved great success.

After the victory, Emperor Wu celebrated heaven and earth at Qingyang Temple in Chengzhou, using candles to communicate with ghosts and gods and receive supernatural powers.

after that……

There is nothing, nothing.

The following text returns to plainness and things in the temple.
