Chapter 0726. Something about the storm
Logos is the Lhasa of later generations. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly.
At the end of the sixth century AD, the Tibetan Yalung tribe, which had risen in southern Shannan, expanded their influence to northern Lhasa. During the reign of Songtsen Gampo's father, Nangri Luntsen, with the cooperation of Niang, Venen and other families, he invaded the fortress of Chibangsong and occupied the Lhasa area, but Nangri Luntsen was poisoned by traitors and hostile forces shortly thereafter.
In order to avoid the interference of various local chieftains and nobles in the past, the former generation of Zanpu Songtsen Gampo moved the capital to Lhasa, and the two characters are only transliterated records in the Han history, and these two characters are the same as Lhasa.
Lhasa was a swamp before the capital was moved, after Songtsen Gampo moved the capital, built the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple of later civilization, and then successively moved to the noble chiefs around these two places to build their own courtyard fortresses, Lhasa, which has become the center of Tibet for thousands of years, was completed.
Now what Qin Huaiyang and others see is the original Lhasa, the style on the plateau makes it have no city walls, there are high mud and stone courtyards everywhere, Mani piles and prayer flags, temples, not far away, is the rolling Lhasa River, and as soon as you look up, you can see the towering and magnificent Potala Palace located in Maburi Mountain.
The Potala Palace in this era is still different from the Potala Palace that meets in red and white in later generations, the Potala Palace at this time is still built by the Tibetan three relatively separated pavilions along the mountain, there are three sieges inside and outside the Red Mountain at this time, there is a racecourse at the east gate of the palace, the nine-storey building that is almost connected with the mountain is somewhat similar to the Potala Palace in later generations, and the two zigzag steps connect the floors.
The three floors are built by thick bricks and stones, and the top floor is a wooden pavilion modeled on the Tang style, the most central of which is the residence of the Zampu of the past dynasties, the left is the residence of Princess Wencheng, and there is a copper bridge between the two floors, and the building on the right is slightly inferior, which is the residence of the princess of Nepal.
On the streets, there are also a large number of lamas wearing monks' robes, and the monks come and go, begging for fortunes, and practicing almsgiving.
The rise of Tibetan Buddhism in real history will not be greatly promoted in the eighth century A.D., a hundred years later, the period of Zampa Chide Zuzan, at that time Bon has been suppressed by Buddhism to the extreme, after the accession of Chide Zuzan, further banned Bon to revive the Buddha, wantonly built monasteries, and stipulated that seven households support a monk in the situation of legislation, but the era of Li Jie's arrival, after all, has changed a lot of things.
After the capture of Tianzhu and the occupation of a huge country, the first thing to face was the most difficult problem was the huge domestic monk power, about one-tenth of the population of Tianzhu was monks or lower novices, and the temple occupied most of the land in North Tianzhu, and the power was strong.
Li Jie is not a good stubble, for all kinds of Brahmin temples, Buddhist temples carried out a series of rectification, a large number of temple lower novices were ordered to return to the laity, the temple land was nationalized, and at the same time the temple monks were assessed, and those who did not meet the requirements of theology were forcibly returned to the laity.
This is not without resistance, the Brahmin rebellion in the Yonghui period even captured the national capital of Qunu City at that time, around this, the Fujian State has always refused to compromise, a large number of Hongwen Hall replaced the temple, countless monks rebelled and were sent to Borneo to be with the cannibals.
Even so, the number of monks was still a headache for Li Jie, so he started a new policy, sending monks to preach.
This time, there is no need for Tang monks to take sperm, Tianzhu local monks in batches with translated Brahmanism, Buddhist classics out of the mission, or Southeast Asia in the occupied area of Fujian, or Chang'an, the Central Plains, the farthest and even Li Jie also sent a large number of people to the Wa country, Liaodong, the close Tubo is of course the key export object, there are about 20,000 or 30,000 monks into Tubo.
Under the cultural differences, the Tibetan people are not very interested in Brahmanism, on the contrary, Buddhism similar to Bon is more popular with the Tibetan people, Buddhism emphasizes forbearance and asceticism, but it gives people the opportunity to get rid of the sea of suffering and go to the Western Heaven Elysium, so more than half of the Brahmins are also disguised as Buddhists, so many monks and cultural attacks, almost every tribe of Tibet, large and small, has these dozens of hundreds of monks, not to mention the most important ones.
The arrival of the monks' power greatly suppressed the power of Bon, which originated in the Qionglong Silver City in the area of Gangdis Mountain and Mapanyong Tso Lake, which was the capital of Zhangzhung that should have been destroyed but was not destroyed now, and the flood of Buddhism expelled the influence of Zhangzhung, so up to Zampu and down to the nobles, they were happy to see the rise of Buddhist power.
Most of the monks came from Fujian, and the high-level monks went in and out of the magnates, naturally unconsciously mentioned the Fujian country, so under such influence, Qin Huaiyang and his entourage were very warmly entertained by the top and bottom of Tubo, and after riding a horse and following Zampu into Lhasa City, Zampu also specially set up a grand performance, and the Zampu family Guye, Nen, Niang, Wei, Wulu and other nobles and important ministers almost all attended.
Ten years ago, Qin Huaiyang traveled to Tibet in the name of the Shu Palace, and indeed met many young magnates.
In the long-sleeved waving, cups and cups, and intoxicating songs and dances, the nobles who were deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty used the poems of the Han people to chant poems, and Qin Huaiyang and the three of them drank a lot of cups at the lively banquet.
The strong barley wine made Qin Huaiyang's handsome little white face turn into a little red face, waving his big sleeves and chanting poetry wildly, which attracted a group of young and old magnates, Li Xueyan's full and gorgeous face was also dyed with a layer of tempting red, only Li Que, who was wearing a silver mask and stayed coldly on the side, was still so indifferent and couldn't see any change.
In the midst of the lively banquet, there was another change outside Lhasa.
On the plateau, the tribal chiefs of thousands of tribes, and the Tubo garrison officials gathered near the outskirts of Lhasa with their subordinates, and thousands of felt bags set up tents on both sides of the Lhasa River, and each tribe also brought tribute and cattle and sheep goods for exchange.
Near Lhasa, there were herds of yaks, and everywhere there was the smell of tsamba and the faint smoke of cooking, no one paid attention, and among the complicated tribes, there was a small tribe of about 2,000 Tubo people, and its leader, wrapped under the layers of fur coats, was a Tang face.
In fact, if you pay attention to it, you will immediately ignore it, such a small tribe is too common on the Tubo Plateau, and the Tang people are not uncommon on this plateau, with the trade of the Nathula Pass, thousands of Tang people will come to the grassland every year, and some of the Tubo nobles have taken a fancy to the Tang women, and simply brought the old father-in-law's family back to the plateau after marrying, and even at this Tubo rally, the Tang people are not a few.
Under such a cover, Li Daozong smoothly brought the "small tribe" composed of the Tubo soldiers collected from Fujian to this heart of Tibet, and glanced at the station divided by the Tubo officials with satisfaction, and then glanced at the majestic and majestic Potala Palace in the distance quite meaningfully.
"Pass the old man's order, garrison on the spot!"
Time passed little by little, even the city of Lhasa, which is known as the city of sunshine, finally fell into silence with the sun gradually slanting westward, only the sound of monks and wooden fish in various temples and the bell of the time can be heard, except for the butter lamps of the temple, the huge city of Lhasa is pitch black, and Tibet is not as rich as Fujian, most of them are lit by lights.
As the ambassador of Fujian, Qin Huaiyang and his entourage were placed in the Jokhang Temple in front of the Potala Palace, which was built to welcome the golden Buddha brought by Princess Wencheng.
The maid with a red face but wearing a deep Chinese silk coat brought hot water, but as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Qin Huaiyang vomited in this sacred place very facelessly, and Li Xueyan, who was busy, hurriedly wiped his face with hot water, and said angrily: "You are really, you can't drink, why do you drink so much?"
"It's not for the sake of fulfilling His Highness's mission!" Happily waving his sleeves and playing drunk, Qin Huaiyang was quite happy, waved his hand in confusion and said: "Your Royal Highness asked us to settle Princess Wencheng and pull Tubo into the chariot of Fujian, now looking at Zampu's attitude towards us, I'm afraid this errand has been half completed, and it won't be long before we can officially submit the credentials, when the time comes, lady, take you to the Tianshan Mountains for your husband again, and enjoy the magnificent rivers and mountains, how about it?"
Drunk and still thinking about showing affection, Qin Huaiyang has also reached a certain level, and Li Xueyan's face that was drunk and red because of drinking became more ruddy, but he glanced at Li Que, the deputy envoy of the lieutenant who was sitting there like a wooden man, and then Li Xueyan shook his head in distress.
"From the concubine's point of view, this matter may not be so easy! The water in Lhasa is very deep, and the background is far from as simple as it seems. ”
"Oh? How do you say that? In the end, it is the nature of devotion to duty, Qin Huaiyang, who was lying on the couch, immediately woke up a little and looked at his daughter-in-law in surprise, but Li Xueyan did not answer immediately, but looked out of the door vigilantly.
Smack~ With a crisp snap of Li Que's fingers, the Jiangnan Xiao surnamed Tiewei she brought walked out slowly, nodded to a few people in the room, and then walked to the other side, and finally relieved Li Xueyan leaned her head in front of Qin Huaiyang and Li Que, lowered her voice and whispered the details she noticed today.
"Tubo Zampu welcomed us at such a grand welcome ceremony, I'm afraid it doesn't really have a good impression of Fujian, today in the back of Zampu's driving team, the concubine inadvertently saw another Tang team has been following the far right side of the team, what Zampu said to us, they probably heard it clearly."
"Until the banquet, the group was still there, and they didn't retreat until Lang Jun was a little drunk!"
"And the most important thing today! Princess Wencheng, who should be one of the protagonists, didn't come! ”
