Seeing that countries are becoming more and more detached from the scope of Buddhism in specific state affairs, the conflict of interests has become superficial. Master Mingjue, the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, said dissatisfiedly: "The Chinese Empire is not only an alliance of Chinese countries, but also an alliance of Buddhist countries. The Chinese Empire, whether it was the capital or the name of the country, lacked Buddhist ties. The poor monk suggested that the Chinese Empire was under the direct jurisdiction of the Buddha and was not under the rule of the world. ”

Yelu Hongji is a follower of Buddhism, so he naturally agreed. Although Zhao Ji didn't think that it would be better for the imperial capital to be governed by Buddhism than for the people of Tianjing, he still agreed with the crowd.

In the end, all countries unanimously agreed, and the Tianjing Political Hall was changed to the Holy See of the Chinese Empire, and each temple in each country sent a monk with profound Buddhism to form the Holy See. The affairs of Tianjing shall be decided by the Holy See itself, and no country shall interfere. Disputes between countries cannot be settled privately and must be submitted to arbitration by the Holy See. Envoys from various countries are no longer envoys, but are permanently stationed in the Holy See, so that the Holy See can coordinate the countries.

The question of who should be the pope was in the grip of a bitter dispute. In particular, the three kingdoms of Song, Liaoxia and Xia all wanted their own monks to serve as popes. After some controversy, a compromise was still adopted, and Master Mingjue was appointed as the imperial pope, and after the pope was established, it was a lifelong system.

Although Master Mingjue was a monk in the White Horse Temple of the Great Song Dynasty, he himself was not from the Great Song Dynasty, but from Tubo, and he was a Tubo person. To be more specific, Master Mingjue is a native of the Nibra country. Nepal is the birthplace of Buddhism, and in China it refers to the western heaven where the Buddha is located. With Master Mingjue as the pope, there is nothing to say about the countries.

It must be emphasized here that Zhao Ji was completely misled by the history books of later generations. In general, most of the history books that Zhao read in his later generations were pseudo-histories, whether about China or the Western world. In one word: the whole pseudo-history.

In Chinese history, it is often doubted that the "25th History" will become a pseudo-history due to the change of dynasties due to the handling of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, but in fact, the ancient Chinese were good at governing history, and the falsification has not yet reached this point. On the contrary, the new history books compiled by later generations often confuse the public and promote national hatred due to political needs.

In order to prove that their rapid rise in modern times is not a typical example of explosive households, they have made up a lot of history to prove that they have been very good and awesome since ancient times. And Westerners like to use archaeological methods to prove, and in the end, dig up a bunch of things that don't know what they are and start making up stories.

Later, the Chinese also learned the methods of archaeology, but the Chinese were too stupid, or the level of Chinese science and technology was not enough to fake and make it seamlessly. So it's very popular in the West, and everything in China comes from the West. The achievements of China's great unified empire have been denied, and it is the backward countries in Central Asia or the West that are not as big as China's counties that have created the miracle of human culture.

As China's level of science and technology has become higher and higher, and as Western nationalism has become more and more widespread in China, the Chinese have also begun to fake. An ancient pig bone was dug up from somewhere in Beijing, which was made into the ancestor of the Chinese, and became the skull of the "Peking Man", and then proved that China is also the birthplace of mankind.

In order to crack down on the cultural inheritance of China's great unification and eliminate China's growing cultural influence, Western historians have repeatedly pointed out that China had already been wiped out by the Yuan and Qing dynasties. Explain again and again the war between China's so-called agrarian civilization and nomadic civilization, and explain how badly China was beaten by nomads. There is a book called "General History of the World", and even idiots say that because of the invasion of the Huns, the Han Dynasty was divided into the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu.

Chinese civilization was pioneered by the Yellow Emperor, Dayu established the Xia Dynasty, Dayu's son Qi changed the political model, turned the public world into a family world, and the emperor changed from public to family hereditary. It's just this one, in the end, the Chinese civilization is made to start from the Xia Dynasty, and in Western historiography, it is even believed that the Shang Dynasty began, and it is constantly pushed back in time.

The Chinese are now trying to falsify, since what is recorded in the "Historical Records" does not count, well, let's go to archaeology, to dig, even if we can't dig up the bones of the Yellow Emperor, we have to dig up the bones of the Yellow Emperor's wife. And so the falsification appeared. If you don't believe the historiography in black and white, you have to believe the story made up based on a bunch of things you don't know what it is. Absurd!

It's too far to say. A pseudo-history of Zhao Ji's misleading later generations is that Buddhism originated in India. Buddhism in China has become foreign! As a result, when Master Mingjue recommended himself as the imperial pope and declared his identity, Zhao Ji knew that Buddhism originated in China.

Because Master Mingjue is Huang? The color race, his ancestors were the Qiang people who migrated from China to Tibet during the Han Dynasty, and the difference between the Qiang and the Han people is not to mention, the Han nationality is a family name that only existed after the Han Dynasty. Nepal, that is, Nepal in later generations, is the territory of the Tibetans, and it does not have a relationship with India. The Buddha is not a prince of Indians, but a Tibetan man, is it yellow? Colored.

During the Han Dynasty, with the establishment of the White Horse Temple, Buddhism was invited back to Middle-earth. However, Buddhism spread more widely in India due to the proximity of the Indian region to the birthplace of Buddhism. As a result, in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Seng had to go to Tianzhu in India to learn scriptures. Well, this creates the illusion that Buddhism originated in India.

This is the same as the problem of height, and the height of Westerners in later generations is generally higher than that of Chinese. So many people think that the ancient white race was more yellow than the yellow? Colored people are tall. The blonde and blue-eyed white race seems to be born tall, don't you know that until the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese still regarded those blonde people as monkeys, what is a monkey? It's just thin and short. This has already been explained in the previous chapter, The Great Song Dynasty.

Illusions can easily distort the facts. However, it is impossible to completely hide the facts. Buddhism became extinct in India and developed in China. From this point, we can see the difference between the culture of the Indian region and the Chinese culture. Buddhism, a religion of equality of all beings, can only arise in a free and open country, and in the same way, only a free and open country needs this kind of religion. This is the reason why Tang Seng had to go to learn the scriptures.

Because Tibet has been included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the pope from being born in any country, the countries decided that after the Great Song Dynasty annexed the entire territory of Tibet, Guge, Yaze and other countries could be incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty, but the country of Nepal must be directly governed by the Holy See, and the successive popes in the future must be born in Nepal.

Zhao Ji thought of the reincarnation system of living Buddha in Buddhist Tantra, and proposed to implement the reincarnation system of living Buddha in Tibet. The reincarnated living Buddha served as the imperial pope. As a result, Zhao gave up the Great Song Dynasty's request to annex the entire territory of Tubo, and only needed to take Sima and Kang, which were later Qinghai and western Sichuan.

As for the Us-Tibet region, that is, the five places of Tibet, Kashmir, Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan, they were transferred to the direct jurisdiction of the Holy See of the Chinese Empire. Zhao knew that none of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties really ruled those areas of Tibet, which were completely autonomous and only formally subordinate to the central government. To rule such an area, it is not beneficial for the current Great Song Dynasty, whether it is in terms of resources or manpower.

However, the Tibetan people began in the Han Dynasty and were formed by the migration of the Qiang people in Middle-earth and the integration of the indigenous people there, and since the Tang Dynasty, the Tibetan people have culturally moved away from the influence of India and turned closer to Chinese culture. Whether it is from the emotions of later generations or from the current political situation, Zhao Ji will not give up Tubo.

It was certainly much smoother for the living Buddha of Tibet to be the pope of the imperial curia, and for the Chinese imperial church to directly govern Tibet, than to completely annex Tibet directly by the Great Song Dynasty. If the Great Song Dynasty annexes Tibet, it will definitely have to send a large army, and it will have to fight for several years before it can deal with Tibet. And if the Holy See sends troops, under the call of religion, the monks and soldiers of the Holy See can surrender all the way. The Holy See of the Chinese Empire represents the nine countries of China, and it is impossible for Tibet not to submit.

Unlike the Western Christian pope, the pope of the Chinese Empire had to be subordinated to secular politics. On the first floor of the world, Master Mingjue swore allegiance in front of the monarchs of the Nine Kingdoms, including Zhao Ji and Yelu Hongji, and swore allegiance to the Chinese Imperial Alliance.

"The poor monk Mingjue assured the Buddha that he would obey the nine monarchs of the Chinese Empire and obey the Imperial Covenant. Coordinate relations between countries and consolidate the Chinese Empire. Expand the Dharma and purify all sentient beings. Mingjue swore an oath.

Although Buddhism is the state religion of each country, each country has its own local religion, such as Taoism in the Song Dynasty, shamanism in the Liao Kingdom, Shinto in Japan, and Lunaism in Dali. For this religion zhuanzhi was not allowed, and this was also written down in the Imperial Covenant. The question of the admission of monks to the Holy See was also discussed. Eventually, it was stipulated that the Holy See could not extort money from the people, possess land, or engage in any industrial or commercial activities, beyond the borders. Ordinary people must also be given degrees by various countries.

Mingjue agreed to the demands of the countries, and at the same time asked: In order to ensure the magnification of the Dharma, the countries? The army had to set up a system of teaching and learning in the same way as the army of the Song Dynasty, and monks were sent by the Holy See to serve as teachers.

Zhao was the first to agree, saying that the army could add a teaching position and allow monks to serve as teachers and promote Buddhism to the soldiers. After Zhao Ji agreed, all countries agreed.

Did the Holy See control the countries to a certain extent in this way? The army, whether it is Zhao Ji or the monarchs of other countries, understands this. However, the Holy See does not have the power to mobilize troops, and the teachings sent by the Holy See are still subordinate to the dispatch of the countries, and in general pose no threat to the rule of the countries.

With the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the member states achieved a certain degree of unity politically, economically, religiously, and militarily. I don't know how much stronger this unification is than that of the European Union in later generations. For this result, Zhao Ji is quite satisfied.

The monarchs of the member states of the Chinese Empire were also very satisfied, and with the support of a unified empire, their throne would not be threatened by internal separatist forces. According to a later Western scholar, the establishment of a unified organization is conducive to the sharing and distribution of resources, the dismantling of the power of various monopoly institutions, and the promotion of social and economic development.

Political, religious, and military issues have been discussed. Countries have turned the conversation to economic development again. For other countries, the Song Dynasty was a behemoth, and if there was not a Liao State that could be compared with the Great Song Dynasty in terms of military strength, then all countries had to wonder if the Great Song Dynasty was going to annex them in this way?

The original purpose of this alliance was to march westward, but the basic condition was the later trade agreement between the Song Dynasty and other countries. On the issue of the New Year's coin, the countries agreed that the Song Dynasty would change the name of the New Year's currency to economic aid and pay it to the Holy See, which would reasonably distribute the economic aid according to the construction applications of each country
