My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 491 Dharma Conference
"Here we are……"

The monks spread out to both sides.

The Great Mercy Hospital in front of me has been waiting for a long time.

Standing in front of the door, looking at a group of Ming envoys, the Great Merciful Dharma King was wearing a red cassock, with a chain made of white bones as decoration on his head.

Standing next to him were the Dharma kings from various places in Uzang and the generals of Wanhu from various garrison stations.

The nobles of Uzang served on both sides, their expressions as docile as cattle and sheep.

It is conceivable that in this land, Tibetan nobles have been completely domesticated and become slaves of monks in temples and tools for making money.

Lan Daoxing was the first to step forward and express his respect to the leader of the Great Mercy Home in front of him.

The two leading monks threw themselves into an elderly monk whose hands were wrapped in chains next to the Dharma King.

He was half-crouched on the ground, covered with white animal skin, and the fierce light in his eyes was like a half-crouched lion.

Most of the ten thousand households and commanders here were held by local nobles who belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

It is barren and cold, and the climate is extremely unsuitable for human habitation.

He could feel the cold light coming toward him among the seemingly friendly people walking around.

It seems that the visitor is ill-intentioned.

In fact, most of the time, the Ming people rarely sent officials into Uzang for governance.

After all, they needed support from the Ming Emperor to rule.

The two walked side by side, surrounded by monks, as if they were attending a Taoist event and a grand ritual.

Although the recognized leader monks in the temple need to go to the capital to receive canonization from the Ming emperor.

Ensure their authority and legitimacy of rule in the eyes of most farmers.

The Ming Dynasty emperor's management here was no different from the Yuan Dynasty.

Their attitude towards Luo An and those who came from the Ming Dynasty was quite friendly.

Even when Ming Taizu mobilized a large number of troops into the plateau, it was only to extinguish the flames of rebellion ignited by those rebellious people who did not obey the leadership of the Celestial Empire.

But Luo An was not fooled by the harmonious scene in front of him.

Akito didn't want to spend too much time in this sad place of past empires.

The various generals and commanders entrusted by the Ming Dynasty here, these local nobles, have a relatively friendly attitude towards the Ming Dynasty envoys.

Luo An thought in his heart.

However, the independence of those Buddhist monks is much higher than them.

On the contrary, Luo An even vaguely felt that the old monk's half-asleep glance towards him occasionally revealed a hint of ferocity.

This old monk did not welcome the arrival of Mingren's envoy like other monks in the temple.

Next to him, Lan Daoxing was already chatting happily with the great compassionate Dharma King.

In other words, compared with the Yuan Dynasty, most of the systems in the Ming Dynasty are just different names.

But for most of the serfs on the temple lands.

The monk who preached to them was already the most senior clergy they had ever seen in their lives.

The rule of each scholastic school was rooted in the land and among the vast serfs.

Now they are no longer the vassals of these Us Tibetan nobles, but have become the implicit masters of these Us Tibetan nobles. Today's Tibetan nobles regard descendants as senior monks as a family honor.

But obviously not everyone can become a master of the scholastic school.

The only way for the remaining people to maintain their family's rule from generation to generation is the imperial court from the capital.

Otherwise, they will be completely reduced to a answering machine in the hands of the eminent monks of various scholastic temples.

"We already know your purpose of coming. Although I personally want to support His Majesty the Emperor's great expedition against Mongolia, obviously Uzang cannot be the one who has the final say."

The Great Merciful Dharma King is an eminent monk with a kind face.

After everyone took their seats after a brief greeting, he made a request to everyone for Uzang to send troops.

"In the name of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I can convey orders from the capital to the governors of various places, mobilize the troops in the hands of thousands of households in various places, and set off north to quell the rebellion. But if you want monks from various monasteries and secret monks from various places to help, you need Only after convening a grand Dharma assembly attended by all the temples to win the support of eminent monks from all over the place can all Uzang's military strength be used to serve the imperial army."

The words of the Great Merciful Dharma King were gentle and yet polite.

Even vaguely apologetic.

Luo An and others can easily tell whether what he said is the truth.

Emperor Xuande followed Zhu Di's example and continued to grant canonizations to Tibetans without restrictions in order to stabilize the local situation. This policy had already produced extremely bad consequences at that time.

A large number of eminent monks who are qualified to command the entire Uzbekistan have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The majesty of Ming people's official titles in this land has almost been lost.

What does the official position passed down from generation to generation by the local Uzbek nobles mean when the Ming Emperor personally canonizes it?

In the end, after losing the support of the Ming court and the awe of the lower-class serfs, it is not surprising that they became foils and decorations on this land.

"What the master said is absolutely true... We specially brought the edict authorized by the Emperor of Heaven to convene the eminent monks of Uzang to conduct the highest restoration initiation ceremony."

Lan Daoxing took out a roll of golden silk from his arms and handed it to Master Daci.

The so-called empowerment ceremony does not really mean that the eminent monk will pass away on the spot to provide empowerment for subsequent disciples.

Rather, under the authorization of the Ming Dynasty court, eminent monks from all over the country participated in the canonization of "initiation masters".

Since the Ming Dynasty, compared with the previous Yuanting, the Ming people have obviously been much more cautious about the canonization of local monks.

Although this tradition had almost completely disappeared by the Xuande period.

Although people in the Ming Dynasty did not have as many heavenly masters or imperial masters as they did in the Yuan Dynasty.

However, various Dharma masters are also emerging in endlessly.

Almost every generation of emperors of the Ming Dynasty would consecrate several Dharma kings and national teachers in Uzang.

Then he summoned them to enter the capital, whether to make elixirs for himself or to serve as his political allies to help him with state affairs.

This tradition continued until the eve of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who believed in Taoism, such as Emperor Jiajing, would ask for the opinions of these eminent Western monks before conducting the highest-level sacrificial activities.

Dharma King Daci simply checked the seal on the edict.

Both the approval document from the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the seal of the cabinet proved the authenticity of this edict without a doubt.

After the process is completed.

The Great Merciful Dharma King stood up cheerfully, showed the emperor's edict in his hand to everyone, then respectfully placed it on the altar behind him, and accepted the worship of pilgrims together with all the Buddhas.
