golden scales

The Great Bright Dharma King finally compromised with the Ming court, and returned to Mobei with a cart full of blank edicts, recruited a large number of disciples, and became the Dharma King. ?. .

These four Dharma kings have more than ten previous lives that can be traced back. Even if they are not disciples of Tsongkhapa, they are also disciples of Dharma King Great Brightness in previous lives, and they have a lot of background.And these well-known practitioners for many generations happened to come from the Khan family of the Khalkha Mongolian tribes.

They all have a father who is a Khan. I don't know if this is a coincidence or the standard of living Buddhas when they are reincarnated.

Although the Ming Dynasty established the Command and Envoy Division, the capital divisions of the provinces do not actually have military power.In particular, Si Mengdusi just set up a castle near the temple where the King of France resided in Xi, and spent his days in the castle. It would be good if he could meet the enthronement ceremony of the King of France once in his term.The daily work is just to check the number of monks, register and make a list, and issue documents for tax exemption and labor exemption.These documents are changed every three months, and finally the officials of the capital have something to do.

"Sometimes management doesn't have to be about collecting certain benefits. Exempting subordinates from their obligations is also what the management needs to do." Zhu Cihong educated Zhu Hegui, who was getting older. After the first month of the fifth year of Longjing, although he was not enough to formally leave the cabinet and join the My own Donggong teachers have contacted, but the teaching tasks have become more and more heavy, and I have fixed homework every day.In this sensitive period of the formation of world outlook and values, Zhu Cihong was even more afraid to relax the consciousness indoctrination of the crown prince.The point is to let the crown prince know that the peaceful and prosperous times are not shouted out by some people, but determined by the lives of the vast majority of the people in the Ming Dynasty.

This is not for vanity and reputation, but for the real key to determining the prosperity and decline of a family.If the vast majority of the people can eat enough, wear warm clothes, have things to do and have a constant income, how can Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong get into trouble?

However, Zhu Hegui seemed to be a little numb due to the pressure of schoolwork, and his eyes no longer had the agility of childhood.Zhu Cihong ordered several times that the lecturers should not put too much pressure on the crown prince, but the lecturers are also very innocent, because the crown prince himself is eager to study, and the crown prince cannot be prohibited from studying.

Zhu Cihong could only spare time to force his son to ride horses and take walks with him.Enjoy flowers and plants.In fact, this is very painful, because Zhu Cihong himself is not happy about it, and the crown prince is purely perfunctory.

Persisting in doing one's own hobbies is something many people can do, but insisting on doing things that are beneficial to oneself but boring is a test of perseverance.

In April of the fifth year of Longjing, the Second Guards Army left steles recording meritorious service in Langjuxu Mountain, Beihai-Lake Baikal, Urg and other places, and donated to build temples.On the prairie, the stele will become a blurred and pitted stone slab with the wind and sand.But the temple will be passed down from generation to generation, so there is no need to worry about collapse.The footprints of the Second Guards Corps will also be fixed on the steppe by these steles and temples.

In May of the same year, the First Guards Army arrived at Jiayuguan, joined forces with the Long Army led by Dang Shousu, and directed their troops at Hami.

……

"The Ming Dynasty was already in great prosperity and declined, almost subjugated the country, but now it uses troops wantonly. I don't know why?" Gushi Khan Tulu Baihu with a beard respectfully asked the old man in front of him.

"The phoenix will be reborn in the raging fire." The old man said in a deep voice, "Ming has been reborn once, that's all. It's not surprising."

"Master, your disciple Luosang Danbei Jianzan has now accepted the bestowal of the Ming Dynasty and sent the Ming army into the grasslands to face the four tribes of Oala. Isn't this enough to make people vigilant?" Tulu Baihu is Moxi Mongolia—that is, the leader of the Heshuo Te tribe in Oala.

The Heshuote tribe originally stationed herds at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Because of the suppression and exclusion of the Junggar tribe, the Heshuote tribe crossed the Tianshan Mountains.At the southern foot of the grazing.In the 22nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Tulu Baihu was only 13 years old, and he led his army to defeat the [-] army of the Ogahot Department.It occupied the area of ​​Barkol and Urumqi in later generations.

In the 34th year of Wanli, Tulubaihu was highly respected for his meritorious service in quelling the war between the Oirats and Khalkha Mongolia, and was awarded the title of "Great National Teacher" by Dongker Hutuktu.The word Gushi of Gushi Khan is the transliteration of "National Teacher".

In the years that followed, Turubaihu and Batur Huntaiji of the Junggar tribe, Galdan's father, joined forces to invade Kazakhstan and won the victory.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, in order to find a new pasture.Tulu Baihu accepted the invitation of the Fourth Panchen Lama Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen.He joined forces with Batur Huntaiji to march into Qinghai and defeated Quetu Khan.Occupy Qinghai.

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, Tulu Baihu went to Lhasa to meet with His Majesty V and Panchen Lama IV, and was awarded the title of "Gushi?Also known as "Tanjin Quejijiabo", which means "Buddhist Dharma King".In Mongolian, it is also called "Gu Shi? Nuomen Khan", that is, "National Teacher? Dharma Protector Khan".

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, Tulu Baihu led his troops to attack Lhasa, sewn Zangba Khan who believed in the Kagyu sect into a cowhide bag, and threw it into the river.

Because Zangba Khan once abolished the title of the emperor, he is the enemy of the Yellow Sect.

From then on, Tulubaihu began the rule of the Heshuote Khanate in Tibet and Qinghai, and vigorously supported the Yellow Sect.He worshiped the fourth Panchen Lama as his teacher and conferred the honorary title of "Panchen Boketuo".Among the honorary titles, "Ban" means wisdom in Sanskrit, "Zen" means grandeur in Tibetan, and "Bokdo" is the Mongolian honorific title for heroes.Only from this appellation, we can see the complexity of the cultural fusion in Qinghai-Tibet.

Now the Fourth Panchen Lama Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen is 85 years old, and he is an old man no matter in Tibet or in Han.He has experienced many things, and he has a tough heart. Under the gentle and kind old monk's face, he is the perseverance of the plateau people.

"If you have the heart of confrontation in everything, you have already fallen into the lower realm." Panchen said: "The re-emergence of Ming Dynasty is an opportunity to obtain peace and tranquility. Danbei Jianzan has sent me a letter , He firmly believes that the Emperor Ming is an emperor who has the heart to protect the Dharma and spread the teachings." Panchen Lama paused, and then said: "You should trust his judgment."

Tulubaihu asked in his heart: The emperor of the Ming Dynasty can certainly believe in Buddhism, but what should we, the Khan kings of our tribes, do?Won't Daming steal our land and pastures?

The Panchen Lama's wise eyes pierced Tulu Baihu's heart, and said: "Don't be obsessed with gains and losses at one time and one place. Being with the huge Ming Kingdom may bring you unexpected gains for your tribe."

"Master, please clarify." Tulu Baihu bowed and asked for instructions.He is the leader of a khanate, not a simple believer.If there is a sufficient price, he may not be unable to sell the Yellow Sect, and he may even sacrifice his life for the Kagyu Sect.What's more, the Ming Kingdom is now standing with the Gelug Sect and belongs to "our own people".

"How vast was Genghis Khan's territory back then? Are the Khan kings in these territories still members of the Golden Family?" Panchen asked suddenly.

Genghis Khan is the hero of all Mongols. No matter how many aliens he killed and how painful memories he brought to other civilizations, he will always pay homage to his own people for generations.

Every Mongolian has a heroic dream.As a member of the Golden Family, Turbaihu naturally expects himself to achieve great things.

"That's not the case, Master." Tulu Baihu replied.

As Moxi Mongolia, which borders Central Asia, I still have some understanding of relatives who stayed in Central Asia.

Starting from the Kazakh Khanate, including the Mughal Khanate established in India today, it is no longer the Mongol Khanate of the Genghis Khan era.

These Mongolian distant relatives intermarried with local Turkic people and became Turkic Mongolians. What they wrote and said in their mouths were all Turkic language and characters, and even their faces became more like Turkic people.

"There is no difference between people, the difference is in the heart." The Panchen Lama pressed his heart: "Not only did they give up the glory of their ancestors, they even believed in heretics. Is this what Genghis Khan would like to see?"

Genghis Khan himself believed in Taoism, after Kublai Khan the Mongolian and Yuan royal families worshiped Buddhism, and the Turkic Mongols in Central Asia believed in Islam.

"The meaning of the master is..." Tulu Baihu seemed to have a little understanding, and with the Panchen Lama's few words, he seemed to see a wider world.

He has been to the Kazakh Khanate and knows that there are abundant water and grass.What if the four tribes of Oirat can unite and march west again, and hand over the bitter cold and arid land of Qinghai-Tibet to the Ming Dynasty?Getting benefits for yourself is the most important thing.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty will not really take these lands. Can the Han people make a living here?It's nothing more than accepting the canonization of the Ming court, and it's not like I haven't accepted it before.

"Why don't you go to Beijing for a pilgrimage?" The Panchen Lama smiled, "I want to see the scenery of Han land even as an old monk."

Tulubaihu nodded: "Thank you for the instruction, Master. After discussing with Sangge, the disciples will go north together."

Oala is dominated by the four major tribes of Junggar, Heshuot, Durbert, and Turhut, and also leads the lower tribes such as Huite.Among the four major tribes, the Junggar tribe is now the leader, so the leader of the Junggar tribe is also the leader of the entire four tribes of Oala.

In the third year of Longjing, [-] in the Christian calendar, Batur Huntaiji, the leader who led Junggar to prosperity, passed away and was succeeded by his fifth son, Sengge.

Turubaihu has no respect for the Sangge, and is only willing to listen to the opinions of the Junggar tribe purely out of the consideration of harmony among the tribes.

"Their civil strife has only just begun, and I'm afraid they don't care about things in the east." Panchen said, "You can go to Beijing by yourself. However, if you are worried about the Junggar tribe, you can take someone with you."

"Who is it?" Turubaihu asked curiously.

"Batur's son, Sengge's younger brother, Galdan." The Panchen Lama replied.

Speaking of Galdan, Tulu Baihu thought of the dead Batuer Huntaiji.It's not that the father and son are so similar in appearance, but that the habit of oppressing others is exactly the same.

Gerdan is only ten years old now, so he can only be regarded as a cub, why did he take him with him? )
