golden scales

Logically speaking, Zhu Cihong should be particularly friendly to Tibetan Buddhism. ?. .Because only Tibetan Buddhism has made the practice of reincarnation from generation to generation its own signboard. Even the Chinese Buddhism of the same sect, Sakyamuni, never blatantly said that this is the tenth time he has come to brush the copy of the world.

However, the problem is that the reincarnation happened to me, and I can be sure that it is true.But how do you verify the authenticity of others who say the same thing?Just like Luosang Tenbei Jianzan in front of me, is he the wisdom of many lifetimes, or the elite among the people?How to judge?

What's more, Zhu Cihong always felt that even if the reincarnation of lifetimes really happened, it was just a natural phenomenon, and there was no need to talk about it.Otherwise, there will be suspicion of deceiving people's hearts and taking credit for the achievements of the predecessors.Coupled with the various political purposes of the Tibetan Living Buddha, this theory of reincarnation is even more suspicious.

As a person who aspires to become a politician, Zhu Cihong is no longer troubled by the naive question of authenticity.As long as Tibetan Buddhism is beneficial to Ming Dynasty's rule, it can be fully utilized.

"I issued an edict to Shuo Lei before, as long as he obeys, he will still be an obedient citizen of Ming Dynasty. It's a pity..." Zhu Cilang clicked on "Three Chapters of Dingmeng", and said again: "It can be seen that people's hearts and ghosts are already hard to guess. I reflect on myself, thinking that my generation is still stubborn, there should be good medicine to heal his heart." Luo Sangdanbei's spirit was lifted, and he took advantage of the situation and said: "The Holy Emperor is wise and wise, and Buddhism is a good medicine to heal people's hearts. Thinking about Tubo, it is a place of ignorance. It is precisely because of the spread of Buddhism that people are more aware of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and do not do anything. If the Holy Son of Heaven uses his great vows to promote Buddhism in Mongolia, the merits will be immeasurable, and the little monk is lucky to be able to share it! "

"Like Usi-zang and Duogan, how about enfeoffing the dharma king as the head of government and using lay officials as assistants?" Zhu Cihong seemed to be asking, but in fact he was throwing meat.As long as Luo Sangdanbei Jianzan took a bite.Be it Mongolia or Tibet, there is no escape.

Lobsang Tenpe Gyaltsan has been studying in Tibet for many years. He knows the cause and effect of Tibet, and also knows that the monks and officials here have great power. It can be said that it is an independent kingdom centered on temples.

In the title of Dharma king, "law" is the identity mark, and "king" is the actual power.The king of France formed his own ruling body with his disciples and disciples.The so-called monks and officials live and die within the territory under their jurisdiction, which is essentially no different from a secular vassal state.

When Tibetans see lamas and monks, they kneel and salute. This is not only a belief, but also the oppression of secular power.

The Emperor Ming clearly wanted to reach an alliance with the Yellow Sect to carve up the land and population of the Khans of Mongolia and Xinjiang together! "The Holy Emperor is wise." Luo Sangdanbei Jianzan couldn't even search out the words of praise enough to express his joy in his mind, so he could only repeat the previous words, but this time with deep admiration.

"The Gelug Sect should be cultivated purely, right?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Luo Sangdanbei firmly praised: "Returning to the Holy Emperor, it is true."

Zhu Cihong nodded: "I admire people from outside the country who can restrain themselves and cultivate themselves. If so, as far as the Great Wall in the south, the pole in the north, and the west of Shi Daxing'an Mountains, all Gelug priests will be exempted from taxes and will not perform public service. Practice with peace of mind."

"Thank you for the grace of the Holy Emperor." Luo Sangdanbei Jianzan prostrated himself on the ground.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand, and said again: "But my grace is only given to real practitioners, those who wear monk's clothes to corrupt Buddhism. Monk, you can look after me for fake monks who don't abide by the rules and regulations!"

"Those who don't abide by the rules will definitely not be allowed to get involved in Buddhism." Luosang Danbei Jianzan affirmed.

"The territory of Mongolia is not small, and one dharma king may not be enough to manage it properly." Zhu Cihong said: "I mean to set up four Mongolian capitals in the east, west, south, north, and south with the desert as the center, and the commanders are Han officials who are responsible for protecting the dharma king. In each capital, the Dharma King is respected. He governs all monks and believers. The original Mongol Khans only governed the common people other than believers. How?"...

Luo Sangdanbeijianzan heard the overtones.Unlike Wusi Zangdusi and Duogandusi, Da Tianzi intends to let Han officials serve as the commanders of the capital.This is actually to allow Han soldiers to stay on the grasslands.It is also said to protect the Dharma King, so can the monks and soldiers accompanying the Dharma King still be established?

This is the condition of Daming. If the Yellow Sect wants to fight for benefits, the breakthrough is only on the Mongolian Khans.

The pancake is only this size, it is impossible to create an extra piece out of thin air.Since Daming had cut most of it off, the rest was the business of King Fa and King Khan.

"Holy Emperor, do you dare to ask if there are rules for the people to become monks?" Luo Sangdanbei Jianzan asked.

Since the Tang Dynasty, in order to prevent too many monks from affecting the country's productivity, the imperial court had to conduct examinations for monks.If you fail the exam, you will not be awarded a degree.Because of the benefits of monks being tax-free and exempt from labor, the degree was once a hard currency.

Emperor Ming gave the Gelug monks tax-free and labor-free preferential treatment. If there is no restriction, it would be a bit unrealistic to think about it.

Zhu Cihong said: "As long as there is a master who is willing to take him under his door, register it in the register, and send it to the capital, the capital will naturally give a document of exemption from tax and service. If the subordinate capital dares to ask for property, the monk can come to the capital to sue." Zhu Cilang smiled: "Mr. Wu, the Ministry of Rites knows that the great monk is invited to Beijing every three years. I am also happy to chat with him."

Wu Zhen sat on his seat and bowed to agree.

"It doesn't matter how many people there are?" Luo Sangdanbei insisted on praising Daqi.

"Buddhism is vast, how many people are there?" Zhu Cihong asked with a smile.

Luosangdanbei Jianzan was shocked: Could it be that the emperor really believed in Buddhism?

"Great monk," Zhu Cihong said suddenly, "you can come to sue, and so can the kings of various tribes. If the monks under your seat do evil, I will not take sides."

"This is the truth, and the little monk is also happy to see the majesty of the king's law, and clean up those evil spirits wearing Buddhist clothes." Luo Sangdanbei praised.

"Luosang Tenbei Jianzan," Zhu Cihong said, "I named you the Great Bright Dharma King, commanding the Dharma Kings of the Four Mongolians, and being the teacher of the Dharma Kings of the Four Mongolians for many generations."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

"It's bitterly cold outside the Great Wall. I will build a temple for you as a place to educate the Dharma King and the monks." Zhu Cihong saw that the civil servants were a little strange, and said again: "I allocated 30 taels of money from the royal family, how about it?"

Luo Sangdanbei Gyaltsan had no choice but to kneel down again and pay homage.

Because this temple is the residence of the Daguangming Dharma King, the imperial pen awarded the "Daguangming Temple" plaque.One response system is all Tibetan.In order to clean the 30 yuan, the temple is resplendent and luxurious.Any monk who enters the gate of Daguangming Temple can immediately feel the solemn Buddha land.

The construction period of the temple is expected to take three years.In the next three years, many believers will donate and contribute, so it is impossible to spend less than one million taels when the project is finally completed.If it were a Living Buddha with no vision, he might be so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, but it's a pity that Luosang Tenbei Gyalzan is not such a mediocre person.

He was immersed in entanglement all day long, and he could only enjoy a moment of peace when he meditated and chanted.

Because the Daguangming Temple is not in Urga, not in the Tushetu Khan tribe, not in Khalkha, not even in Mongolia...

Da Guangming Temple in Xi'an.

Daming, Shaanxi, Xi'an.

According to the agreement, from the day when the Daguangming Temple is completed, Luosang Tenbei Gyaltsan will go to the Daguangming Temple in Xi'an to serve as the abbot, and he will be the abbot of the Daguangming Temple for many generations to come.It would be fine if he was the only one controlled in Xi'an, but the Ming court set up a threshold for the confirmation of the four kings of Mengjiang.

The reincarnated soul boy of the Four Great Kings of Mengjiang must be confirmed by the Dharma King of Great Light, and each soul boy must study at the Great Bright Temple for ten years before returning to Simengdusi for enthronement.The commanders of the capitals of the Ming Dynasty in Simeng had the right to observe the ceremony, and denied the unruly enthronement ceremony, and did not recognize his status as the king of the law.

—It's like a piece of cheese spiked with poison.It smells tempting, but eating it can hurt people's lives.

Luo Sangdanbei Jianzan paced in the courtyard, even if he practiced for more than ten lifetimes, he could not untie this knot.For him, watching the Mongols and the Heavenly Soldiers fight is the worst policy, because there are many Han people and few Mongols, even if the casualties are mixed, the Mongols cannot afford it.

Because of the change in the Chechen tribe, many Khalkha tribes were unwilling to fight the Ming army to the death, and hoped to open a market and trade goods.This is what the people want. If I use the influence of Buddhism to persecute them, they may even abandon the Yellow Sect like Lin Danhan and switch to other sects.

Gushri Khan used force to help the Gelug Sect become the leader of Buddhism in Lhasa, but it was impossible to eradicate the forces of other sects.If the Yellow Sect refuses to accept the Ming court's covenant, the Dabao Dharma King will definitely be very happy to see it.

The Great Treasure Dharma King is a Tibetan monk who was conferred by the emperor Chengzu. His title is "Windsman, Perfect and Perfect in Ten Directions, Perfect in Ten Directions, Universally Enlightened, Performing and Teaching Tathagata, Great Treasure Dharma King, Xitian Dashan Zizai Buddha", and leads Buddhism all over the world.In terms of sect, the Karmapa is the master of the Kagyu sect, because monks have white stripes on their skirts, and later generations of scholars also commonly call it "White Sect".

The rise and expansion of the Yellow Sect in Tibet is naturally not what it likes to see.True to the political ecology of Tibet at that time, the expansion of the religious field directly led to competition for territory, monks, people, temple property, and taxes. Therefore, people who believe that Buddhism is tolerant and peaceful obviously do not know the cruelty of religious disputes at that time .

In order to let Luosang Tenbei Gyalzan know that Daming still has alternatives, Senglusi specially sent famous monks from Han to pay homage to the Great Treasure King at Chubu Monastery in Lhasa.And it revealed the intention to invite the Great Dharma King to come to Beijing to hold a debate with Luo Sang Tenbei, the Great Bright Dharma King.

Once there is a debate, there must be a winner or loser. It is certainly a dream for religious fanatics, but it is something that politicians should try their best to avoid.Especially for Rosandtenbe Gyaltsen, winning is not enough to gain more political benefits.If you lose, you will definitely lose more vested interests.

How could he do such a worthless thing?

As the active party, Ming Ting, whether he really wanted to witness the wisdom contest between the two kings, or blackmailed him, made the young Great Bright Dharma King unable to resist. )
