"In History: Ban Chao"

Chen Pu [Song Dynasty]

——I am the dividing line—

On the northern foot of Kunlun Mountain, the pearls at the impact plains and oasis where the three jade rivers converge are now in the devastated and smoky capital of Khotan, Xicheng. After several months of war attacks and killings, the day when the dust settles is settled.

With hundreds of nobles in the city exterminated their families, tens of thousands of people in the city were affected and poisoned, and countless casualties were at the cost of countless deaths and injuries. The last winner of the battle in the capital, known as the Three Princes Rebellion, was the left minister from one of the members of the governor. He also held his blood nephew, the fifth prince Yuchi Baoshu, who had just been in the prime minister's life, and entered the royal city with great satisfaction.

While they were walking through the crowd, they could still see the columns where they passed, between the garden and the flowers and trees, and the blood and other stains that had not been washed away, as well as the corpses that were towed and loaded into the car. It was the result of the palace guards who had been bribed before, the monks who remained neutral and watched, and the royal family members who had entered the palace to avoid disaster, the children of noble families and their guards, and the melee battles between them.

The soldiers who continued to pour in also, in their veil, dragged and captured the royal families and nobles who were hiding between palace buildings and gardens from their hiding places; then stripped away all the items and robes that might be valuable on them, and then put them on themselves and laughed at them, or hugged them, grabbed them, and dragged them, and couldn't wait to go to the place where there were fewer people under the grass and trees.

Surrounded by a group of neatly dressed armored soldiers, they finally came to the Jinyuan Hall to receive congratulations, deliver letters of state, and meet with envoys; and the large bloodstains that had penetrated deep into the bluestone floor were also paved and covered with precious felt and slurry, and the jade mountain that was at the top of the top deep in the hall was the throne of exquisite silk.

Then, on the side of this throne that represents the supreme authority of Khotan, the left minister of the left of his subordinates also, amid the congratulations and worship, put on the new generation of Khotan Treasure King, who had his blood nephew, with gems and tassels, and put on the rat king's golden crown (Note 1) stolen from the place of the Empress Dowager Lao Wang in the harem, and completed the simple and hasty ceremony of succession.

(PS. The Kingdom of Khotan is a hub where the intersection of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and an important town on the Silk Road. It is also a must-pass place for the eastward spread of Buddhism. While believing in Buddhism, it also incorporates many foreign cultural elements; for example, the twelve zodiac signs are the guardian gods of the heavens, and the Rat King is the most noble, and is regarded as the totem and symbol of the replacement of royal family inheritance; it originated from the allusion that the Huns encountered a rat disaster in an oasis near the royal city when they invaded Khotan and suffered a disaster without fighting.)

In fact, as the ceremonial ceremony of the kings of Khotan in history, in addition to the late but absolutely indispensable recognition and enthronement of the imperial envoy of the Central Plains of the Celestial Empire, the kingly monastic group formed by the great masters of the temples of the Western Regions, representing the presence of the chiefs of the major civil ministries and vassals and tribes in the country, as well as the unanimous viewing and witnessing the envoys from the surrounding countries.

Then, the left minister, who had gray hair and eyes like an eagle, slowly sat on the brocade couch next to the throne with his legs, and accepted the re-prayer of the remaining ministers in the hall with peace of mind. Soon after, the left minister took the new treasure tree king of Khotan, who was still wearing a lifelike silver rat crown, and appeared again on the Qifeng Tower, the main gate facing the city road, facing the city road in the east side of the royal city;

Then, he stood under the cover of vermilion, and accepted the many city soldiers and private soldiers who participated in the battle of the royal city and won the final victory, as well as the scholars and people who were driven out of their homes, forcibly laughed and danced unevenly, thinking that they would pay tribute to the new king; then, the servants behind the new king carried a basket of wealth and sprinkled colorful silk coins flying all over the sky.

At this moment, the Zuo Minister, who had worked diligently as a playmate who grew up in Wangyuan with his wife and a playmate who grew up together in Wangyuan for most of his life, worked diligently to serve and serve the former king Yuchi Wa for most of his life, but when he was in his later years, he was also intoxicated at this moment and felt that he was the true king of Khotan who knew nothing.

However, a hundred baskets of wealth were just poured down, barely making the atmosphere of singing and dancing in front of Qifeng Tower more popular; but there were several messengers riding through the city along the east-facing central axis street, which brought him an unexpected news and bad news, which also made the winner of the royal city rebellion no longer want to enjoy and experience this glorious moment.

Because the civil strife occurred in the royal city, all parties gathered and attracted the garrisons, private soldiers and subordinates from Zhucheng in various states across the country gathered in large numbers near the Daowang City; the result was that local defense and guards were empty. Therefore, when foreign troops from the south under the banner of helping the royal family to quell the rebellion arrived at the westernmost Yochang City (Qianmo Town), not many people could make the decision, and naturally no one sent the news.

On the contrary, some people took the initiative to stand up and became the guide of the vanguard of this foreign army, leading them to pass through many cities and towns in the middle and lower reaches of the Hotan River Basin without any offense. When these vanguard teams of foreign alliance troops who claimed to have come to help with peace and rebellion continued to advance to Kezhou (now Yutian County, Xinjiang), the former Governor's Office of Visha, someone took them out to report it.

But at this time, the vanguard of the horse-striking army under the banner of launching troops and assisting the war had approached Bimo City, a water-pool oasis less than a hundred miles away from the western city of the capital. At this time, the left minister and confidant who stayed behind the outside of the capital, finally discovered the other party's specific identity and the origin of mobilizing troops. However, it was attracted by the fourth prince who fled.

The mother's family of the fourth prince is not a prominent body, but is just an ordinary daughter of a royal palace. Because he was lonely around him when the king went hunting, he was able to serve his son. Therefore, among the palaces filled with many famous families, it is not a powerful choice to succeed the throne. The only thing worthy of praise is that he is fond of Tang style and is well-versed in literary classics.

Therefore, in the early years when the king was seriously ill, he sacrificed himself to the temple to pray for blessings for the king on the grounds of filial piety; and afterwards, the king looked at him and gave him the name Viki Rama, so he was asked to worship the head of the King Xingda Temple in Xishan to practice Buddhist principles and other knowledge. In this way, after the new king ascended the throne, he could continue to take charge of the monastic community with the blood of the royal family members and continue to take charge of the monastic community and Sasuke the new king.

Therefore, the families of all families in this rebellion have not actually fled into the royal city at the beginning, begging the old Empress Dowager, who is the right general of the clan brother, to protect her, and the concubine's prince Viki Rama who has basically been eliminated in the dispute over the throne; even the left minister himself did not have the urgent plan to eliminate him from the quick.

On the one hand, this is because compared with other brothers and brothers with deep backgrounds, the power that he can rely on and rely on is really negligible; on the other hand, it takes into account the Buddhist monks with a strong influence in Gutan. Without the extermination of foreign enemies, killing such a prince who is destined to become a Buddhist will only give up the population and add variables to Buddhism.

I thought that during this war, the other party, who had no soldiers and soldiers, would die in any corner of the royal city; but no one expected that he would bring foreign aid and help to quell the rebellion, and he was also a traditional ally with a lot of ties and connections in the Kingdom of Khotan, the Guiyi Army, and the unheard-of-law protectors and the Liberation Army (Bottoms) who came with unheard of.

However, since he had successfully defeated many opponents and successfully supported the new king, how could the left minister who could sit and wait for death at this moment of success? At least he had more than 10,000 royal city defenders who had defeated each family after defeating each family, as well as the same number of family generals, troops and private soldiers inside and outside the city, as well as thousands of control strings attached to his northern Shanzhen; there were also 100,000 people and a large number of reserves in this vast royal city.

Therefore, after ending the congratulations from his subjects, the Left Minister announced the order of the new king to personally fight against the rebellion. Because he understood very clearly that even if the new king had just taken office and his foundation was not yet stable, he could not show weakness as the driving force behind the scenes. Naturally, he did not hope to defeat the Guiyi army who came from afar; but as long as he showed enough strength to make him slightly frustrated, he could conduct a series of negotiations and negotiations that forced him to retreat at a cost.

However, before sending troops to fight against the edge of the oasis, he issued another order for the stability of the rear, banning the daily activities of more than 30 temples in the royal city; in case someone might become the enemy's internal response and leak the news. However, it was this king's order that had always been causing trouble in the royal city again.

Khotan was originally a Buddha's country, and as the heart of the country, there were many believers gathered in the royal city and Jialan everywhere. From princes and nobles to common people, to the royal city guards, there were also great believers. Even on major national festivals, there were also Dharma meetings to preach and sing scriptures, "The Sutra of the Great Thousand Lands", "The Sutra of the Great Peacock Mantra", "The Sutra of the Great Follow-up Dharani", etc.

Even when the king led his troops to fight against the Eastern Land, he would also ask the monks to chant the "Prajna Paramita Sutra" and "Lotus Sutra" (translated by Kumarajiva), and "The Most Surpassed King of Golden Light" (Tan Wuchen, translated by Yijing) to promote the actions and blessings. Therefore, the king's order was shocked when he came out, and even disobedience and sacrificial camps appeared among the defenders gathered in the royal city.

When the left minister led the royal city guards and family generals who were loyal to him, he finally re-suppressed and cleaned up the situation; and forced the king's order to be in trouble. However, it was delayed for a whole day; therefore, whenever he was able to swear to the army, he got that all the troops outside the royal city were attacked and were defeated one after another while fighting each other.
