Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 256 The Law of David is promulgated throughout the world

Three months after the Great Dharma Conference in the Potala Palace, Emperor Qianyuan ordered the formal promulgation of the "Law of David" throughout the country.

Uszang's envoy Renbengba Ngawang Jikezhak returned to his mansion in Shigatse. This mansion was built exactly in the style of the watchtowers of the Renbengba family in Lingsibenzhai. As the head of a large family with a long history, he successfully resurrected the already weak Renbengba family by dedicating Sibenzhai to Emperor Qianyuan, and he also served as a prisoner of Uzang Province. It's so majestic to be an inspector and in charge of a province's prisons!

"Master, Tashi Delek", seeing the master return to the house, the Langsheng (household slaves) in the house bowed one after another, stuck out their tongues respectfully, and held their breath to show respect. This is a rule. The breath of slaves is dirty, but they dare not pollute the air that the noble master breathes.

A teenage Langsheng, who was at a lively and active age, actually forgot to stick out his tongue when bowing. "If you don't obey the rules, I'll beat you to death, you despicable thing." Ngawang Jikzak whipped out the riding crop and whipped the little Langsheng to the ground. Whip after whip, until the skin is torn and the flesh is torn, making the person faint.

"Hey, what's wrong with the master today? He's so angry." A silver bell-like laughter came from his ears, but it was his wife Bian Bameduo.

"Hmph! Next time you dare to be presumptuous, I'll hang you in the cowshed, you bitch." Ngawang Ji Kezak angrily threw away the riding crop and followed Bameduo into the boudoir.

After a while of lingering, the hostess brought him a bowl of milk tea and asked with a smile: "Who made me angry today?"

"Look at this," Ngawang Zikzak angrily took out a copy of "David's Law" and showed it to the woman.

"what is this?"

"The new code promulgated by the imperial court. From now on, if we break the law, we will be sentenced to the same punishment as those civilians. If we kill our own slaves for no reason, we will also be flogged twenty times and fined three hundred taels of silver. If any slave has made great military exploits or If you pass the child test and become a student, the master must cancel your slave status. It's really abominable. If this happens, the civilians and slaves will be turned upside down!"

Bian Bameduo looked through it carefully. She was a careful woman. After reading it for a while, she asked: "This code actually requires taxes to be collected from the masters. Can the great masters of each sect agree?"

"I heard that His Majesty, as the reincarnation of Padmasambhava, defeated two divine monks of the Gelug sect in the Potala Palace. The great masters of other sects were impressed by his eloquent words. That is why this book Equality of All Beings was created. "The Law of David".

"Puch", Bian Bamei Duo was happy, "Why are you so impressed by the eloquence? How can the great masters be so easy to talk to? In my opinion, they are afraid of His Majesty's military power and dare not disobey."

Ngawang Ji Kezak thought carefully for a while and nodded, "Your words may not be unreasonable."

"Even the great masters dare not speak out. Master, you must not object, otherwise disaster will be inevitable! Besides, our Renbengba family has been suppressed by the Xinshaba family for many years. It is you who dedicated Sibenzhai to His Majesty, I helped His Majesty overthrow the rule of Zangba Khan, and I have just become the third-rank Uzang Inspector, allowing the family to prosper again. Your Majesty gave us the glory and wealth of our family. You must not offend the Holy Face because of a code! "Well, what the madam said is true, I remember it!" Ngawang Ji Kezak nodded frequently when his mother-in-law said it, and suddenly felt less angry. He laughed and picked up Bian Bameduo and walked to the couch. go.

Drepung Monastery is the residence of the great monk Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, the three major monasteries of the Gelug sect. The temple is not big, but the Bodhisattva is there. This temple is of great significance to the Gelug Sect.

At this moment, the Tsochen Hall ("Tsochen" means the Great Dharma Hall) was crowded with the upper echelons of the Gelug sect. Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso and Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen, the two divine monks, Ganden Tripa (the abbot of Ganden Monastery), Reting Hutuktu, Tsemoling Hutuktu, Dimu Hutuktu The other great monks, Qiang Suonan Qunpei, Cui Ben (senior monk official) Luobu Zangtu Dobu and other senior Gelug officials gathered together.

As the leader of the Gelug sect, Ganden Tripa's status in the religion is second only to the two great monks. He spoke first, "Everyone, our Gelug sect has reached a critical stage of life and death again. That person actually wants to tax us."

Life and death is too serious to say, but taxing monks does touch the bottom line of everyone here. The government has always given alms to monks, so why should they tax them in return? It’s really unbearable!
"Amitabha, the old monk heard that Batur Hutaiji of the Junggar tribe gave birth to a son last year, who was the reincarnation of Master Wensa. Should we send someone to Junggar to discuss and pick the child up when he is older? Are you coming to Lhasa?" The seventy-eight-year-old sacred monk Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen from the Fatai of Tashilhunpo Monastery suddenly spoke. Everyone was discussing how to oppose Emperor Qianyuan's random reforms, but this one was involved in the reincarnation of the great monk Wensa. , is not an old fool. According to history, this man lived for a full ninety-five years, which is far from being old and stupid. He wanted to use the power of the Junggar tribe to obstruct the reform.

Everyone present was a human spirit, so they naturally understood the meaning of the divine monk’s words. Another divine monk, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso of the three major temples, said with a smile: "You are right, I will send Luobo Zangtu Dobu to go." This holy monk is young, one year younger than Suletan. He is only twenty-eight years old this year, but he is already the highest-ranking person in the Gelug sect.

"Follow the decree of the law." Seeing the divine monk speak, his Cuibenluobu Zangtuduobu hurriedly responded.

"Two divine monks, I was ordered to contact Qinghai. Two masters, Ajia Hutuktu of Kumbum Monastery, Xianni and Naqie of Guolong Monastery, wrote to say that they had persuaded Dayan Eqirhan of the Heshuote Department. Stand with us,” Qiang Zuo Nan Qunpei reported. This is a shrewd and capable man who has made many meritorious deeds for the Gelug Sect.

"Great! With the support of the Junggar tribe and the Kashote tribe, plus our own monk soldiers, it is time to use force to overthrow the tyrant's rule," Ngawang Losang Gyatso roared. A while ago, I just issued an order to the subjects of my sect to cut off hands, feet, eyes, beat, kill and other punishments on the disobedient subjects and slaves. This is a normal thing. , but was labeled as "unkind". That person also held a large Dharma conference to promote the "equality of all living beings" and promulgated a legal code of "equality of all living beings". It became more and more obvious that he was a living Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering, and that he was an unmerciful divine monk. This is intolerable, and the rule of the "tyrant" must be overthrown!

"You want to use force against the emperor? Forgive me, I'm afraid we don't have the strength yet," Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen objected.

"The power of Gelug alone is not enough, but what if we add the power of the Kagyu sect? I have sent people to contact the Karma Kagyu black hat channel Yixi Dorje and the four-legged dragon A of the Drukpa Kagyu of Bhutan. Wang Nanjie, Master Bawo of Lodhar, Pasang Wangpo of Zedang Monastery Fatai, and the Hall family of Shannan Qiongjie all agreed to join us," Ngawang Losang Gyatso smiled.

Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen let out a long breath and said, "If this is the case, you can give it a go. I heard that the emperor plans to attack the Dzungars, and when his army leaves Lhasa, it will be time to take action."
