Chapter VI Belonging to the Territory, Belonging to the Domain

"This matter," Cixi said, "Hong Chengchou makes sense, Lord Shunzhi must be as good as a stream?" ”

Words such as "good as flowing" rarely come from the mouth of Cixi, and the corners of Guan Zhuofan's mouth showed a subtle smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, all praise the ancestor to come out to greet him; Hong Chengchou was the only one who dissented. Emperor Shizuzhang did not want to go against the will of the people, but informed the Fifth Dalai Lama that he would drive out of the royal car and come to Daiga in person to meet with Yi. ”

The queen mother of the two palaces was very surprised, and Ci'an let out a soft "ah", although she knew that Shunzhi did not make the trip in the end, she still couldn't help but be nervous: "Alas, this, what do you say?" ”

"Hong Chengchou once again admonished him," Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "He said that there has been a difference in the sky recently, Taibai and the sun are competing for glory, and the comet has broken into Ziwei. He also said that the drought in the south, the flood in the north, and the loss of normality in the sunny and rainy weather are all manifestations of the heavens! The holy bow is the weight of the four seas, taking advantage of the public opinion to go out lightly, wading far into the desert yellow sand, if there are three long and two...... Well, isn't it a burden entrusted by the ancestors and ancestors? ”

"Heaven and Man Induction", none of the six big military planes really took it seriously, and they all knew that this was just used by Hong Chengchou to block the mouth of "Manchu Dynasty Zhu Zi"; However, the two women were convinced, and Cixi frowned slightly: "God's words, don't you dare not listen!" This time, Lord Shunzhi should always ...... 'humble himself to listen', right? ”

Another "humble self-listening".

Guan Zhuofan said with a smile: "Yes, on the day that Hong Chengchou handed it over, Emperor Shizuzhang issued a decree: 'This performance is very good. I stop doing it. At the same time. greatly praised Hong Chengchou. He is said to be "virtuous" and "praised" him, and in the future, "all the affairs of the country and the sufferings of the people, how to meet the will of the people, and how not to meet the will of the people", ask him to "see and hear, that is, explain in detail." Don't be obscure'. ”

Ci'an breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously wanted to touch his chest with his hand, but his hand was just raised, and he knew that it was wrong, so he hurriedly put it down.

Cixi nodded and said, "Lord Shunzhi is holy after all!" However, since the previous child has already promised to meet people in Daiga, how can this talk be rounded? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother." Guan Zhuofan said, "This is not difficult. only said that 'the hungry police, everywhere to report', 'thieves from time to time, feathers from time to time', 'the country's heavy affairs are difficult to ignore lightly', in short, it is really inseparable. ”

After a pause, he said: "These words are not to fool the Fifth Dalai Lama, at that time, Li Dingguo invaded Guangxi, Hunan, and Jiangxi, and had conquered 16 counties and 32 prefectures and counties, and the military affairs in the south were very tense. ”

Cixi groaned and said: "Since the Dalai Lama's order to meet on behalf of the Ka has been withdrawn, the Dalai Lama's entry into Beijing and the reception ceremony must be particularly grand. ”

"The Empress Dowager Shengming," Guan Zhuofan said, "is indeed the case. In order to solemnize the event, Emperor Shizuzhang decided to go out of Beijing to welcome the Fifth Dalai Lama, which even Hong Chengchou could not send right. However, how can there be a reason for the emperor to go out of the city to greet his courtiers? So, on the table, it was said that Emperor Shizuzhang 'hunted' in Nanyuan, no coincidence, the fifth Dalai Lama happened to arrive in Beijing at this time, then, it is logical to meet in Nanyuan. ”

The faces of the empress dowager of the two palaces showed a smile at the same time.

"On the day of the visit," Guan Zhuofan said, "Emperor Shizuzhang gave the Fifth Dalai Lama 90,000 taels of silver, and after that, all kinds of rewards were endless. The imperial court also set up a 'Yellow Temple' for the Fifth Dalai Lama - he was the head of the Yellow Sect, and the Fifth Dalai Lama lived in this 'Yellow Temple' during his stay in Beijing. In addition, there are special gifts such as the banquet of the Taihe Palace, the invitation of the Fifth Dalai Lama to give the empowerment of the queen concubine and the prince Zongwang. ”

Cixi nodded again and said, "At this point, well, it's very reasonable. ”

"Not only," Guan Zhuofan said, "When the Fifth Dalai Lama came to him, he offered 'Hada' to Emperor Shizuzhang, but he didn't kneel and bow—"

After a pause, "Actually, the Fifth Dalai Lama's visit to Emperor Shizuzhang was a fair courtesy. ”

The queen mother of the two palaces was shocked.

"When the Fifth Dalai Lama returned," Guan Zhuofan continued, "Shizu personally sent him to Nanyuan, and then sent Wang Shuosai of Chengze County to accompany him to Daiga. Then, the Ministry of Rites sent Shangshu Jue Luo Langqiu to Daiga, and the Mongolian princes of the conference were at the meeting, and the edict was read and given to the Fifth Dalai Lama...... Well, the title of 'The Great Benevolence of the West Heaven and the Buddha Leading the World to Enlighten the Ordinary Wachi Lama and the Dalai Lama', and awarded the golden seal of the Manchurian, Chinese, Tibetan and Mongolian languages. ”

Ci'an couldn't help laughing and said, "Ouch, it's a long list of names, it's hard for you to remember!" ”

"Uh...... Thank you for the queen mother's award. ”

Cixi said: "Look at this title, from now on, this Dalai Lama is seriously the co-master of Tantra." ”

"Yes, the Empress Dowager Shengming, the four words 'Dalai Lama' have only been seriously determined since then."

"Okay, I'm going home."

"Uh...... Be. ”

"Right now, the little Dalai Lama who is going to Beijing for an audience is ...... The Twelfth Dalai Lama, right? ”

"Yes."

"To receive this 12th Dalai Lama," Cixi muttered, "what kind of rituals should be used?" Seem...... You can't just copy the reception of the Fifth Dalai Lama, right? ”

Guan Zhuofan immediately said: "Shengming is no more than the Queen Mother!" Times are changing, of course, we can't copy the reception of the Fifth Dalai Lama! Not to mention anything else, Tibet is my territory, and the Dalai Lama is my domain, so how can I meet my emperor in peace? When you meet the emperor and the queen mother, you will have to kneel three times and bow nine times with your ministers! ”

The empress dowager of the two palaces was slightly shocked, Cixi hesitated for a moment, and said: "The Dalai Lama has a special status, will it be too late to do this?" It is not feasible to be polite, but it seems to be ...... to show a little grace It's not impossible, for example...... Curtsey? ”

"No, you can't!"

These three words are categorical, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was slightly shocked - Guan Zhuofan rarely speaks to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces in this tone, let alone when discussing politics in the court.

"Empress Dowager Mingjian," Guan Zhuofan said word by word, "If the Dalai Lama does not carry out the courtesy of his subordinates, how can he show all the countries that Tibet is the territory of China since ancient times, and it will not be easy for thousands of years, and it will not be replaced for eternity?" ”

Cixi was silent.

King Gong spoke: "Guan Zhuofan's proposal is actually Lao Cheng's plan for the country, please ask the two queen mothers to Jiana." ”

The other four big military aircraft, Wen Xiang, Cao Yuying, Xu Gengshen, and Guo Songtao, spoke in turn: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal, please accept the queen mother of the two palaces." ”

Cixi glanced at Guan Zhuofan deeply and said, "Okay, just do as you say." Well, I know that you are for the good of the country, but on the Tibetan side, you will definitely compare the affairs of the Shunzhi Dynasty, how can you handle this matter properly? Plan with all your heart, and do not neglect it. ”

"Yes! The ministers respectfully received the oracle, and did not dare to dabble in a little slack! ”
