Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 848
lasagna.

On the banks of the Jiqu River, there is a manor, which is quite different from the surrounding Tibetan-style buildings, but it is a pure Ming Chinese-style building. This is the Yamen of the Minister of the Ming Dynasty in Tibet, and this manor is also the post station of Jiqu.General Weizang, the military attache to Tibet just appointed at the beginning of the year, was also stationed here, and he brought a battalion of [-] soldiers with him when he took office.

The minister stationed in Tibet is also called the Minister of Wei Zang. Jin Shengtan, a third-rank civil servant, was interrupted by the third-rank General Wei Zang Dynasty first.

"Gushi Khan Tulubaihu is dead."

Jin Shengtan had just slept for a while, when he was woken up suddenly, his eyes were a little dry, and his head was dizzy, but he immediately became refreshed after hearing this.

"Sure?"

"Well, Yangla and Dashbatur are at Jinyiwei's side now."

"Did Yang pull the hand?"

"Well, there is medicine in Gushi Khan's milk tea,"

Jin Shengtan sat up straight, stroked his beard, and rubbed his face again. Yangla was Gushhan's maidservant, but she also gave birth to his youngest son, Dashbatur, but Gushhan didn't want to see him. Just as a maidservant, she was often beaten and scolded.

Wei Zang Jin Yiwei had already collected this information and began to contact her secretly.

"Be sure to hide people well,"

"Don't worry, Jin Yiwei has several secret safe houses in Lhasa, it's no problem to hide one or two people."

Chao Chao was a little excited at first, "The five hundred soldiers are already on standby."

Jin Shengtan shook his head, "No need, let's wait for news here."

Soon, Ganden Phodrang sent someone to invite the Minister of Weizang and General Weizang to discuss important matters.

"Let's go." Jin Shengtan stood up.

The dynasty first asked: "Do you want to bring soldiers with you, or should we go alone?"

"No need. They don't know who killed Gushi Khan. Now they must be discussing the successor of Khan. We are just going to witness."

Jin Shengtan and Wang Chaoxian each changed into official court clothes. Jin Shengtan wore the imperial-given bullfighting purple robe with jade belt and goldfish amulet, and Wang Chaoxian wore the imperial-given unicorn purple robe with jade belt and goldfish amulet, each covered with a mink.

When we left the manor, we took only fifty Ming troops. The soldiers wore red cotton armor and had two small flags on the helmets above their heads. , above the two characters on the right is the moon, and below is the sky.

Together, the sun and the moon serve the sky.

Carrying muskets, long knives on their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, and armored horses, the 50-man team is also very elite, escorting the two ministers to the White House.

At this time, Laxia, after Gushhan Khan entered Tibet, used the taxes, money and food from Qinghai, Kham, and U-Tsang to vigorously rebuild the Bu Palace.

There are three main parts of the Cloth Palace, the Red Palace is in the middle, the White House is connected to the east, and Zhaxia is connected to the west. The three are interconnected and integrated into one.

The White House got its name from the white exterior wall, which was dyed with milk and sugar. After the completion of the seven-story White House, Gushi Khan and Diba left Ganden Phodrang from the Clam Temple to visit the White House. Moved to work here.

The Jiyuan Hall on the fourth floor is where Diba Sonam Raodan works, the fifth and sixth floors are the office and residence of Gushri Khan when he was in the White House, and the seventh floor is the winter residence of the Fifth Great Monk.

Now, all the top leaders of Lhasa are here.

When Jin Shengtan and Wang Chaoxian came in, the attendants called out loudly.

The V, who is in his thirties, also stood up to greet him in person, and Thiba Sonam Raodan even walked to the door to greet him.

"I heard that Gushi Khan passed away suddenly, what's the situation?" Jin Shengtan held Suonan Raodan's hand with a sad expression, walked into the hall together, and then saluted the fifth king.

"Gush Khan was poisoned and murdered. The murderer was most likely his maid Layang, but she is nowhere to be found now."

"Where's Dayan Jinong?" Jin Shengtan asked again.

"Before the incident, Dayan Jinong had just met Gushi Khan and was sent to become a hero. We have already sent someone to invite him back."

Suonan Raodan sent to invite Dayan, but he didn't come back until half a day later, he waited for another news.

Dayan Jinong still went to Damxung and did not return halfway, and as soon as he arrived in Damxung, he summoned the Eight Banners and [-] cavalry stationed in Damxung to Lhasa in full armor.

When the news spread, Sonam Raodan and His Holiness V both looked serious in the fourth-floor hall of the White House.

Obviously, Dayan didn't believe what Diba sent someone to report. He didn't believe that his father died at the hands of his maid, especially the maid who gave birth to Gushi Khan's youngest son.Or on the other hand, Dayan Khan had an affair with his father's handmaid after being drunk once during his father's expedition to the west, and now she is the murderer, which may implicate him.

Dayan Khan is now suspicious of the White House, suspecting that his father's death may have something to do with Dangan Phodrang, so it is reasonable for him to go to Dangxiong to gather the Eight Banners Mongolian cavalry, but in this way, the White House is under a lot of pressure.

Jin Shengtan stood up in good time.

"I remember the last time Gushhan Khan made his triumphant return from the west. At the celebration banquet at the White House, he once said in front of me and others that he would pass on the Khan throne to his eldest son, Dayanji Nongji Tenzin Erduoji. Well, it was also said that in the future, the eldest son Dayan will inherit the position of Khan, and he will directly lead the whole U-Tsang. The sixth son, Dalai Batur Taiji, will inherit all his property and go to Qinghai to manage the left and right wings of Bataiji. , became the general manager of Qinghai, Khamba was managed by his grandson, and the cities of Kashgar, Yarkand, and Khotan, which were conquered by the Western Expedition, were also guarded by his grandson. "

What Jin Shengtan said was exactly what Gushi Khan said at the celebration banquet for the victory of the Western Expedition. All the people present participated in the banquet at that time, so naturally they all heard those words.

What Gushi Khan said at the time was not the slightest problem. After all, it is normal to make arrangements in advance. It is even normal to give all the property to the sixth child. In Mongolian tradition, there are actually no uniform rules for family separation. It's all divided according to the prince's own wishes, and he can divide it as he wants.

This kind of property distribution set during the lifetime cannot be changed by others.

Of course, what everyone is most concerned about now is the Khan succession.

"Since Gushi Khan left such an arrangement at the beginning, no matter how he died now, he should still follow his last wish and ask Dayan to inherit the Khan throne, the governor of Weizang Kangbaduoan and other places, and the throne of the Fearless Lion cannot be vacant. The position of Dharma King Protector cannot be vacant either."

As the Minister of the Ming Dynasty in Tibet, Jin Shengtan's words are of course very influential. Although the Ming Dynasty in Tibet cannot directly intervene in Tibetan affairs, the Minister of Defense of the Ming Dynasty still has to participate in and witness some important affairs.

Today, the Heshuote Khanate is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the suzerain-vassal relationship has long been established through the efforts of Gush Khan. Even the great monks who established the reincarnation of the reincarnation must have Ming participate in the Golden Ping Zhizhi, let alone Gush Khan's If Khan inherits the position, he also needs to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty.

The meaning in Jin Shengtan's words also reveals another layer of hidden meaning. Dayan's reaction was so intense, he heard that his father was poisoned halfway, and he didn't rush back to the funeral to succeed the throne, but went to Dangxiong Damu to mobilize cavalry. He even asked the sixth brother to return to Qinghai to gather the left and right wing Badaiji. This is obviously suspected that the White House murdered Gushi Khan.

Therefore, it is best to quickly draw up a notice, regardless of how Gushi Khan was killed, but quickly announce to the outside world that Dayan has succeeded as King Heshuote Khan, and invite him to come back and sit on the throne of the Fearless Lion, and other things will be discussed later .

Suspicions and misunderstandings must be eliminated, otherwise it will be troublesome.

No matter how high the prestige of the monks is, what is the use in front of the Mongolian Heshuo cavalry?
After listening to Jin Shengtan's words, the Fifth King's face became cloudy and uncertain, and Sonam Raodan, who had always held the power of the Khan court, was also a little flustered.

Although he usually holds the power of the Khan court, it is because Gushi Khan gave him this power, supported by Heshuo special cavalry, and intends to strengthen the relationship between Mongolia and Tibet through him, to rule Tibet with Tibet, so that nobles from all over the world can support him He is loyal to Heshuote, but in essence, his power is still based on the support of King Heshuote Khan.

Without the support of King Khan, he, Diba, has no real power.

The upper echelons of U-Tsang established the Khanate of Heshuote Mongolia, and appointed the regent of the great monk as Diba to lead the government affairs. In the local area, thirteen officials were also promoted, and Zongben was assigned to be in charge of local affairs. In Feng Duojian, there are many hereditary aristocrats, including those big temples, which are powerful.

Just as Sonam Raodan handed over the three lands of Shigatse to the Jishediba family before, the Jishidiba family is a top-level noble with strong strength.

He was so strong that Gushi Khan was very jealous of them, and refused to hand over the title of Shigatse Dzong to Ji Xue Diba.

The Heshuote Mongolian Khan court, the powerful local Tibetans, coupled with the duality of politics and religion, the situation in U-Tsang, Kangba Duoan and other places is actually very complicated, especially in U-Tsang.

Even though the Gelug Sect brought Heshuote into Tibet to protect the dharma and wiped out Butu Khan, King Baili, Zangba Khan, etc., but even so, rebellions in various places in U-Tibet were still happening one after another. Although the Gelug Sect is the only one However, the influence of the Sakya, Kagyu, Nyingma and other sects is not small.

Without Heshuote's support, or even Heshuote's enemy, it would be fatal.

"it is good,"

The Fifth King remembered that when he was seven years old, when Zangba Khan's soldiers attacked Drepung Monastery, he was forced to flee in the middle of the night, and was carried away by Zaya I, and fled in a panic all the way, which is still unforgettable to this day.

Although Heshuote only had [-] cavalry in the Dangxiong Eight Banners, they were so close to Lhasa that the Bu Palace could not resist, not to mention there were more troops in Qinghai.

"Then please make a decree."

The great monk looked at Jin Shengtan, "Your Excellency, please sign and use the seal together." At this time, he was really worried that Dayan would lead his troops to attack, so he quickly pulled Daming.

Sonam Raodan sat there without saying a word. Even if he had something in his heart, he couldn't say it. He knew about Dayan's affair with Layang, but now he said it in public. It won't help in the slightest, but it may cause more trouble, so I can only remain silent.

Sonam Raodan wrote a letter in person, asking Gushri Khan to invite Dayan to come to the White House to take the throne of King Khan.

After writing the letter, Suonan Raodan was still a little worried, and sighed to Jin Sheng, "Can you please send some military officers to send this letter?"

Jin Shengtan said no problem.

"Can you ask General Wang to send the Heavenly Soldiers from the Wei Zang Camp to Bu Palace to protect the Dharma temporarily?" Sonam Raodan asked again.

Jin Shengtan looked embarrassed, and said after a long time, "We have brought a team of 50 people here, and we can temporarily act as guards here to assist security."

　I have been quarantined at home for half a month, and people are going crazy.
