Chapter 569: Huang Taiji's Conspiracy
Qin Lin and the brothers drank very happily at the cheap shop, and with a small twist and turn, they could see who was loyal, who was annihilated, who was the grass on the wall, and who was the bare-hearted person, which was really good.
Early the next morning, Qin Lin arranged work to launch a secret investigation of Huang Taiji, Sanniangzi, and King Welling with the intelligence system of Zhenfu Si in the north.
The efficient work ability of the Beizhen Fusi was once again verified, and Hong Yangshan quickly came up with a comprehensive report.
As Zhang Juzheng and Zeng Xingwu said, Huang Taiji was an ambitious fellow who belonged to the militants of the Mongolian Tumut tribe, and it is not known whether his tandem activities in the steppe tribes in the recent period were due to Altan Khan's serious illness and preparation for power, or whether he intended to fight again with the Ming Dynasty.
In terms of the third lady, she has always maintained a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and currently handles tribal affairs for Altan Khan, and directly controls a 10,000-strong team with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Tumut Department.
Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, gullibility is undoubtedly a manifestation of political naivety, as a stepmother Sanniangzi and Huang Taiji must have contradictions, so she exposed Huang Taiji's intention to betray Ming, is it true, or is it a lie about the military situation, and wants to use the hands of the Ming Dynasty to get rid of the enemy?
As for the "Holy Consciousness and All Merit Immeasurable Tso Gyada Varpindi Welling King", the guy with a staggering title, there is very little news about him from the Jinyi Guard.
I only know that his senior brother, King Weide of Jinding Temple, is the number one master of Tibetan secrets, and has always been as famous as the Wudang Sect Leader Wang Zhenren and the White Lotus Sect Master, and has been powerful on the snowy plateau for decades. He is also proficient in Buddhism, with divine power, ranking first among the four ** kings of Tibetan Buddhism canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and was named "Empowerment of the Great Teacher" by the imperial court.
About two years ago, his junior brother Venerable Wei Ling opened the altar to give a lecture in the Jinding Temple, first with a lotus tongue and a lecture on the Buddha, and then exerted his vast magical powers, and in one fell swoop to impress dozens of great monks in the tantric temples, and since then his reputation has spread far and wide, and the audience of the monks recommended him as "the holy knowledge of all the Tsogyada Varpindi".
Some people say that this master is the reincarnation of Padmasambhava, some people say that he is the rebirth of Pasipa Pa, every day there are countless believers kowtowing their long heads around the Jinding Monastery of Zha Lun, just to be able to be blessed by the great Dawalpindi, less than two years of influence in Qinghai, Mongolia, even Altan Khan also admired religiously, the two sides met in Qinghai, each other gave each other honorific titles.
This year, the tantric king will also come to Beijing to represent the Tantric Zha Lun Jinding Monastery and participate in the Hajjj, where he will meet with many tribal leaders from Uszang, Qinghai, and Mongolia.
Qin Lin immediately decided to pay close attention to the movements of King Welling, especially to prevent this person from colluding with Huang Taiji, once the secular tribal leaders on the grassland and the religious leaders of the snowy plateau united, needless to say, the Ming Dynasty would be in trouble.
After discussing this information with Master Xu Wenchang, Old Man Xu was stunned at first, then looked at the northwest direction, and said with confidence for a while: "The third lady will not deceive the court, and the matter of Huang Taiji's rebellion is absolutely true." ”
Qin Lin raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "How can Old Mr. Xu be so sure?" Back then, you were in Datong and Xuanfu......"
"Yes, I have met the three ladies, and I have also seen Altan Khan and Huang Taiji," Xu Wenchang recalled the past when he was in the military affairs of the Xuanda Governor Wu Dui Shogunate, and suddenly his old face was slightly red, and he stopped talking no more.
Damn, this old guy is not telling the truth, there is a problem! Qin Lin narrowed his eyes, thoughtful.
Xu Wenchang has a great reputation, and Qin Lin completely believes in him, but it is absolutely impossible for Old Man Xu to decide on important military affairs just by one sentence, and convince Zhang Juzheng and Zeng Xingwu.
Qin Lin arranged a strict intelligence network to secretly monitor Huang Taiji and his party who lived in the Huitong Pavilion.
On this morning, in front of the Beizhen Fusi Office, there was a series of hurried footsteps.
"Report-" Diao Shigui trotted and entered Qin Lin's office to go to the court: "Chief Qin, the little one sent someone to keep an eye on Huang Taiji, about half an hour ago, they left the guild hall, bought goods on the street, and turned around and entered Longfu Temple before a stick of incense!" ”
And so it was!
Longfu Temple is a temple where Zen and Tantra live together, but the lamas are powerful and occupy an absolute advantage, and almost regard this temple next to the palace as the lower courtyard of the Wusi Tibetan Tantra.
After King Welling arrived in Beijing, according to the custom, he would not live in the same hall, but in Longfu Temple, like the Great Lama Deleng who had a conflict with Qin Lin last time, he was still an outer disciple of King Welling.
Now that the Venerable King has not yet come, Huang Taiji has gone to Longfu Temple, presumably he will not simply go to the incense, right?
"Let's go, let's go and have a look," Qin Lin ordered, picked up the brothers, changed into civilian clothes, and hurried towards Longfu Temple-
In the temple where the incense was burning, a large group of fierce Tatars entered, dressed in fur clothes, with seven or eight pigtails on the back of their heads, thick gold rings hanging from their ears, and formidable scimitars at their waists.
The Tatars did not like to bathe much, and they ate beef and mutton, and the smell of the fish on their bodies was so thick that they could smoke people to death.
Many of the good men and women who came to worship the Buddha were vegetarians, and they all frowned, and the Zen monks in the temple even covered their mouths and noses and avoided from afar.
"What are you hiding, the little prince of my family was invited by your emperor!" A Mongolian warrior with thick eyebrows pulled out a bright scimitar to scare the monk and the good man and the woman.
Mom screamed, and the pilgrim ran around like a headless fly for a monk.
The Mongolian warriors grinned and laughed, and the leader even spat thick phlegm on the ground: "They all say that the Han people are cowardly and incompetent, no wonder, hahaha......"
The leader was dressed in a silk and gold robe, with a string of small braids on his head, thick and large gold rings on his ears, a scimitar with a silver sheath and gems on his waist, and raw cowhide boots on his feet, and a large wide face, a small nose, and thin eyes.
The Grand Lama Deleng smiled beside him, and when he saw this, he joked: "The little prince is majestic, even if the protector god of heaven is nothing more than that, no wonder these Han people tremble with fear when they see your golden face." ”
It's ridiculous, the good men and women who go to Longfu Temple to worship incense are all old and weak women and children, Huang Taiji scares these people, but he thinks he is amazing.
The group of them walked into the tantric empowerment room at the back, which is also the most secret place in the entire Longfu Temple.
As soon as he walked in, Huang Taiji closed the door and introduced them one by one: "This is Saiyan Qianhu of the Ha Zhi Department, and this is Gulge Taiji of the Nang Ha Dai Ministry...... Heroes, the great lama Deleng is proficient in Buddhism, he is remarkable, he is ...... in Longfu Monastery"
It turned out that the people brought by Huang Taiji were not only his own subordinates, but also many powerful figures from various grassland tribes.
Deleng raised his head with a smug look, but these Mongolian nobles didn't care much, and they lacked interest.
Seeing this, Huang Taiji's thin eyes turned around, and explained: "The Great Lama Deleng is also a member of the Jinding Temple, and he can be regarded as the outer disciple of the Venerable King!" ”
"Disciple of Tsogyada Varpindi!" Someone exclaimed in a suppressed voice.
The eyes of the Mongolian nobles changed, from lukewarm at the beginning, to implied eagerness.
The Grand Lama Deleng smiled lovely, and clasped his palms together to say hello: "I have seen all the grassland heroes." My Dharma King does not say that he will arrive in Beijing, one is to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is to promote Buddhism, and then you will be able to see his old man. ”
The Mongolian nobles were not formal, and there were a few rude rectums among them, and they immediately burst into discussions: "Tsogyada Varpindi is here, that's good!" When the time comes, we will ask him to perform the empowerment ceremony one by one, and in the future, with the blessing of the Buddha, it will be blessed. ”
"That's, that's," the obedient ones saw that Huang Taiji's expression was quite disapproving, so he changed his words: "Little prince, with the blessing of the Dharma King, the great thing you are trying to do will definitely succeed." ”
Huang Taiji was overjoyed and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, the Dharma King has great powers, and with his Dharma blessings, we can do everything with half the effort." ”
The Mongolian warrior with thick eyebrows who had just drawn his sword to scare the people shouted loudly: "Everyone has seen the reality of the Ming Dynasty now, hum, when the little prince ascends the throne, we will kill the Central Plains and recapture this flowery country!" ”
"Bahechi is right," Huang Taiji added: "At that time, I only needed the position of Great Khan, and my children's jade silks, gold and silver treasures would belong to all heroes and heroes!" ”
When the Mongolian nobles heard this, their eyes lit up, and they didn't know if they didn't come to the Central Plains, and they followed Huang Taiji's delegation to Beijing, and then they knew the benefits of the Central Plains, rich in products, peugeot, and mild climate, which was many times stronger than the bitter cold Saibei.
The great Genghis Khan and Emperor Kublai Khan didn't once rule this land?
As we all know, Huang Taiji is a descendant of the Golden Family, with Genghis Khan's blood in his veins, and perhaps, he can really lead the Mongols back to glory...... The Mongolian nobles looked at Huang Taiji's eyes, and they were a little more in awe and a little more eager.
Huang Taiji had a secret discussion with the Grand Lama Deleng, and took advantage of the fact that the Mongolian nobles were not paying attention, and solemnly promised in his ear: "If the Great Lama can invite the King of Weiling and his old man's family, the jade will become a thing, and this prince will succeed to the throne of Khan in the future, and he will definitely crown you as the king of the national teacher." ”
The eyes of the great lama of Deleng have also become bright and bright, the national teacher and the king, that is amazing!
"The little prince can rest assured, the first time the family teacher Tsogyada Varpin arrives in Beijing, I will report your good intentions to his old man, and I will definitely cooperate when the time comes!" Grand Lama Deleng patted his chest to pack the ticket.
Huang Taiji smiled reassuringly, feeling proud in his heart, and looked at the group of Mongolian nobles around him who looked at everything as if they were rednecks entering the city, hum, and waited for the old man to speak, these fools who believe in gods and Buddhas, still don't you kneel down for me?
"Master, it's not good," a little lama ran in in a panic, "the guy who beat us last time has come here again!" ”
