Naturally, the officials of the Ministry of Rites came in to meet with the envoys of Fanguo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info was supposed to meet on the first day of the new year, but for some reason it was postponed to today.

After a while, Zheng Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked in and saluted: "Your Majesty, can you meet with all the envoys of Fanguo today?" ”

"Reception." Yun Xi said, "It's not going to be much this year. He remembered the twenty-eight countries at this time last year, and all kinds of important things related to them.

"Your Majesty, this year, the envoy of the Fusang Kingdom has come to discuss the matter of welcoming relatives. They originally wanted His Royal Highness King Yong'an to go to Kyoto to greet his relatives, but the minister and Chen Siqing argued with him, and finally decided that Fusang Kingdom would send the future Princess Yong'an to Shanghai, and His Royal Highness King Yong'an would go to Shanghai to welcome his relatives. What does Your Majesty think? Zheng Yi said.

"It's too far to go to Shanghai, and it takes a few days to greet relatives. Let the Fusang people send Princess Yong'an to Longwandu, and you will discuss with the Ministry of Industry to immediately build a house courtyard with suitable specifications in Longwandu. Yun Xi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Yi said. There is no precedent for marrying Fanguo, so Yunxi can make relatively free decisions.

In addition, it was Annan that sent tribute envoys to pay tribute. The minister has refused. Zheng Yi said.

"Never pay tribute. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they drove them away before they took the initiative to leave the capital. Yun Xi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Yi said: "As far as the minister knows, there is nothing else to do in Fanguo. It's just that I don't know if there will be any envoys who will say anything when they meet His Majesty. ”

"I'm not going to give them more time to talk this year. Zheng Qing, every envoy of Fanguo, except for the Korean envoy, let them retreat without leaving them time to speak after the salute. "Yun Xi was still a little fresh in the first two years, and now that the freshness has passed, I don't bother to waste time on them. It's better to rest for yourself a while longer. As for the preferential treatment of North Korea, it was because Yun Xi thought that the family histories of these North Korean envoys were far-fetched or fabricated were very interesting, so he listened to them as a joke.

Zheng Yi agreed, and then went down to make arrangements. Yun Xi also changed into a dress and came to the Jinshen Hall to meet them.

This time there was no time for most of the envoys to talk nonsense, although a few of the envoys seemed to have something to say, but they had just finished the salute and let him retreat.

However, in addition to the Korean envoys, there was also an envoy from one country who was received for a longer period of time - Yili Shori.

The envoys of Elitari had come to discuss a future war with Timur. But what's there to talk about now? Yun Xi originally wanted him to retreat after he finished saluting, but suddenly thought that Yi Li put the south side of the Li Li was Wu Si Zang, and casually asked Wu Si Zang's situation.

Coincidentally, the messenger of this Yili Gang was a Lamaist. He said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the minister happened to be born in Qinghai, and later moved to Yili with his father, and the minister is a devout Lamaist. ”

"Chen was originally a follower of the Kadam sect, but recently the Gelug sect has risen in Qinghai, and the minister has converted to the Gelug sect."

What the! Yun Hee immediately lifted his spirits. He hadn't heard of Kadampa, but wasn't the Gelug sect the most influential branch of Tibetan Buddhism in later generations, and it could influence all the way from Nepal to Lake Baikal!

Yun Xi said, "Does the Gelug faction wear yellow hats? ”

The man said excitedly, "Your Majesty has also heard of the Gelugpa? I, the Gelug, wear a yellow hat. ”

"The Gelug school was founded by His Holiness Lobsang Drakpa, which means auspicious in Chinese. Because the place where His Holiness Lobsang Drakpa was born in Tibetan is called Tsongkhapa, everyone respectfully calls His Holiness Tsongkhapa. ”

"Tsongkhapa was born in the seventeenth year of the Yuan Dynasty," he said of 'Yuan', but he immediately covered it up and continued: "According to legend, he was the reincarnation of Manjushri, was ordained at the age of seven, and at the age of thirty he was already a famous master in Uszang and Qinghai. ”

"When Tsongkhapa was thirty-eight years old, he was so saddened by the fact that the Tibetan sects did not follow the rules and precepts of the Qing Dynasty that he wore a yellow hat to distinguish himself from other sects, and now most people in Qinghai have converted to Gelugpa."

Yun Hee was very happy. He smiled: "I have heard that Lama Tsongkhapa is a Buddhist monk with profound Dharma, maybe he is the reincarnation of Manjushri. ”

"I want to ask you and the envoy I sent to invite Master Zongkeba to come to the capital of Daming to meet you, are you willing?"

"The minister is willing!" This envoy of Yili has forgotten what the black child fire man sent him to the capital of Daming to do, and said happily.

Yun Xi said a few more words to him and told him to step down.

Later, when Yunxi had lunch, Xiyi saw him eating with a smile on his face and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" What is so happy? ”

"How can you not be happy that there is a dawn at the dawn of a complete solution to the Mongolian problem?" Yun Xi smiled.

Xiyi is a little strange, she is not ignorant of current affairs, knowing that although the Northern Yuan no longer even has the strength to harass along the Great Wall, the main source of iron pot tea and other items is to rob Wuliang Ha Sanwei, but Da Ming has never been able to completely eliminate him.

However, she adhered to the creed of not interfering in politics in the harem and did not speak.

In the afternoon, Yun Xi immediately called Yang Ben into the palace and said to him, "I have a very important task entrusted to you. He went to Qinghai to invite Lama Tsongkhapa, a Gelug sect of Lamaism, to Beijing. If it is inconvenient for the master, it is okay to invite his main disciples. ”

Yang Ben called him into the palace in such a hurry because Yun Xi was in such a hurry at first, and his expression was very serious, thinking that it was something big; When he heard that he was inviting a Dharma King to Beijing, he slackened off and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." "During the Hongwu period, there were occasional Dharma kings from Wusizang in Qinghai who went to Beijing to pay tribute, and Zhu Yuanzhang treated them well, and they didn't take these Dharma kings who came to cheat money seriously.

Yun Xi knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and said loudly: "Don't slack off!" This Dharma King is very important, and when you arrive in the capital, if I inquire and learn that you have done something disrespectful, I will not spare you! ”

Yang Ben saw that Yun Xi was so strict, and his heart was very strange, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will never dare to slack off." ”

"As a sign of respect, I have decided to give you the title of Honglu Temple." Yun Xi said again.

Yang Ben was even more surprised and promised to retreat.

Yun Xi also wrote letters to Zhu Ji, the king of Su, and Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, who were sealed in Suzhou, and asked them to recruit people who believed in Lamaism and could adapt to the plateau climate as Yang Ben's retinue. Although Zongkeba is in Qinghai most of the time, he has also traveled to Wusizang many times, and most people are not used to a place like Wusizang.

I remember that the first Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama were both disciples of Tsongkhapa, and it seems that Changgyal and Jebtsundampa appeared many years later. But it doesn't matter, with me, the inheritance of these two lines will be much earlier. ’
