It's still a boring day.

Yang Reform still repeats the days of the day, and after starting Chuáng, he began to deal with official business.

After correcting some notebooks and homework, Yang Gengai frowned. The weather seemed to be getting colder and colder, Yang Reform had a feeling, stopped what he was doing, got out of the warm pavilion, looked up at the sky, the sky was a little heavy, stretched out his hand mō air, a little cold.

"Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold." Wang Chengen hurriedly sent up the opinion cloak.

"It's getting colder!" Yang Gengai sighed.

"Yes! Your Majesty, it's getting colder and colder. Wang Chengen replied.

"Go and ask Master Sun to come over." Yang Gai thought about it and made up his mind.

"The slave obeys, so let's go." Wang Chengen agreed.

After instructing Wang Chengen, Yang Gai stretched out his hand in the air again, and then turned around and returned to the warm pavilion.

Warm Pavilion.

Sun Chengzong came very quickly, and Pingbi was very close to the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong saluted.

"Excuse me," Yang said, his expression a little solemn.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor who was preoccupied, a little suspicious, and didn't know what the emperor was thinking.

"It's getting colder and colder now," Yang said with a sigh.

"Yes! Your Majesty. Sun Chengzong replied, but now it is getting colder and colder, and the clothes on this body have become a lot thicker unconsciously, and they are no longer as thin as before.

"What about the two of them? What's going on? Yang asked reform.

“… Back to Your Majesty, he is still training, and he is practicing against the Governor of Qin and the Governor of Mandu at the moment,........." Sun Chengzong said.

"Oh" Yang Reform Oh "teammates" are practicing confrontation and cultivating tacit understanding, this is the last school before graduation, after learning this, the two new "teammates" should also be on the road.

"Are you practicing well?" Yang Gengai frowned and asked casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is going well" Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor, and roughly knew why the emperor frowned, and he also frowned about this.

"Alas, now that Yijing is getting colder and colder, it's October, it's time for the two of them to take office, and it will take some time to get familiar with the environment and run in with his subordinates." Yang Gai said.

Although the words have no beginning or end, people who don't understand are confused, but Sun Chengzong knows that the emperor is going to let these two people out, and time waits for no one!

"Yes! Your Majesty, it is better to take office earlier, and it will take a certain amount of time to run in with the deployment, otherwise, the soldiers will not know the soldiers, the soldiers will not obey the generals, and if they command in the future, I am afraid that there will be big trouble..............." Sun Chengzong said.

"Well, Master Sun is right, it's time to let them out, so Master Sun thinks that with the ability of the two of them, where is it more suitable to go?" Yang asked again.

"This" Sun Chengzong was speechless, and frowned, this is a difficult thing, Sun Chengzong doesn't know how many times he hesitated for this matter, it stands to reason that it is better for Hong Chengchou to go to Datong, after all, there is a lack of a person with a view of the overall situation, but it is not impossible to go to Liaodong: in the same way, it is also possible for Lu Xiangsheng to go to Datong, and it is also possible to go to Liaodong, in the end, let two people go there, it is really inconclusive.

“… Please also ask Your Majesty to judge! Sun Chengzong frowned and sighed, this question is better to be handed over to the emperor, he really doesn't know which one to recommend.

"Hehehe, okay, let's take the idea." Yang Reform is also troubled by this matter, and it is not easy to make an idea, but this problem still comes back to himself, Yang Reform smiled, the holy judgment will be the holy judgment.

Sun Chengzong was speechless for a while, this matter can only rely on the emperor's holy judgment, and he also sighed, the emperor doesn't know where to find these two people, they seem to have a strong talent for leading soldiers, and they are simply rare talents in a hundred years.

Yang Gengai put away his smile, his face became more and more serious, and he seemed to have made a huge determination, and said to Wang Chengen: "Companion, I have something important to talk to Master Sun, clean up the surroundings, don't let people listen."

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen immediately promised that the emperor had something important to clear the scene.

The field was cleared quickly, and when Wang Chengen returned to Huilai, there was no one around.

Sun Chengzong waited quietly for the emperor to speak, not knowing what the emperor would say.

"Master Sun, sit down." Yang Gai sorted out his own clues and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong bowed down slightly and sat down. ,

"Those two are about to go out, this matter, I think about it, or discuss it with Master Sun, see how to do it better, don't make a decision at this time, they go outside, but they are uncomfortable, and it will break the strategy." Yang Gengai opened the conversation.

Sun Chengzong recognized Zhende listening, he was not ordinary with ordinary ministers, and the dialogue with the emperor was not restrained, but quite calm and calm, he was open to communicate with the emperor, this kind of relationship and attitude with the emperor is just Sun Chengzong.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"Master Sun, do you remember that some time ago, I talked to Master Sun about living Buddhas?" Yang Reform gradually made things clear.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister remembers, Ruchen is not mistaken, it seems to be related to Master Yuanwu."

Sun Chengzong replied, it was very strange why the emperor would say this.

"Yes, Master Sun also knows that if there is no accident in the northern war, it will be me who set foot in Liaodong and sweep the desert," Yang Gai said, looking at Sun Chengzong.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, if nothing happens, it should be so," Sun Chengzong said.

Sun Chengzong is even more strange, how can this be so good, and he has talked about the battle situation in the north from the Living Buddha again?

"I feel that although I am more certain about the war towards the north, I have always been a little vague about the strategy of the West, or rather, I take it for granted." Yang Gai said, but he did not hesitate to criticize himself, and when he talked to Sun Chengzong, he had no scruples and had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, this, Your Majesty is saying, Uszang?

Please also ask Your Majesty to explain in detail" Sun Chengzong was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked carefully. 1 Uszang refers to Tibet 1

Yes, when I say the West, I mean Uszang, as for the vagueness of the West's strategy, it refers to the relatively clear strategy of the north, with clear goals, steps and countermeasures,..............., Master Sun also knows that the strategy of our dynasty is to drive the eastern captives from the east to the west, but to the west, there is also an end, that is, to Gansu, Qinghai is just this area, this Gansu, Qinghai area, but it is the east of Uszang, so in fact, this northern strategy, the actual strategy of returning to the West is involved together......" Yang explained.

"What Your Majesty said is very true," Sun Chengzong stroked his beard, apparently deep in thought.

"I'm wondering how I can clean up the north and solve the West at the same time...............," Mr. Yang said.

"Your Majesty, that place in Wusizang is too barren and too far away, I'm afraid I can't afford to raise many soldiers! It is not difficult for His Majesty to take back that place, but it is not easy to say that it is actually controlled, and the minister thinks that the affairs of Wusizang should still be cautious, and the minister thinks that with the prestige of our dynasty in the north, the lamas of Wusizang should understand the matter and will not be the enemy of our dynasty" Sun Chengzong said, Sun Chengzong did not think about the affairs of the Wusizang region, and came to the conclusion that it can be deterred, but it cannot be actually occupied, and the actual occupation is really meaningless. The place was too barren and too far away.

"Yes! At this point, I also know that it is not difficult to conquer the Wusizang region, as long as you grit your teeth, you can still do it, but to actually control the Wusizang region, this is undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to the sky, it is indeed a little unrealistic, however, I also feel that there is no way to ......" Yang reformed and said.

In the past, Yang Reform did not discuss the northern strategy and the treatment of the forces in the Wusi-Tibetan region, and the conclusion reached was what Sun Chengzong said.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what can be done?" Sun Chengzong asked, listening to the emperor talk about Wusizang, and also controlled the Wusizang region, Sun Chengzong's heart is a little hairy, that place, but even Taizu can't fight, or rely on the power to subdue the forces there, if you really have to fight, it's really unimaginable, Sun Chengzong also pinched the emperor's sweat.

"That's what I just said, about the Living Buddha," Yang said.

“…… Living buddha? "What does Your Majesty mean?" Sun Chengzong was puzzled.

"What I mean is to take advantage of the power of the sweeping forces in the north, and I will take the opportunity to enter the Wusi-Tibet region as a living Buddha, not to mention completely controlling the Wusi-Tibetan region in my hands, but at least to achieve strong control......," Yang said.

"This ......!!!" Sun Chengzong's face was shocked! What is the emperor doing here?

Not only Sun Chengzong was shocked, but even Wang Chengen was shocked! The emperor's words were beyond the limits of his thinking. ,

Looking at the two people with shocked faces, Yang Reform knew how amazing what he said, which was also the reason why Yang Reform was reluctant to say this, but now, he had to say it.

“… Your Majesty, the minister is really puzzled, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear. Sun Chengzong frowned, and hurriedly asked, shocked to shocked, but he still had to ask clearly.

"I've thought about it, although the place of Usizang can be defeated, but it can't be directly controlled, this will definitely not work, but the place of Usizang is not controlled by no one, in fact, there are still people who control it, I think that it is better to learn and learn from the methods of controlling Usizang now, that is to say, although it is difficult to control Usizang, there is always a way." Yang Gai said.

"Learn from the methods of Usizang to control Usizang?" Sun Chengzong was even more shocked! At the same time, I also feel that it makes sense, although the place of Wusizang is barren and far away, but it still belongs, if you want to say control, there are indeed people who control it, and it is not a barren land without an owner, thinking about it this way, Sun Chengzong's heart has eased down a little, and he feels that what the emperor said is not unreasonable.

"Yes! How does Usizang control the place now, I think, how to control Usizang, just engrave the imprint of my Ming on the basis of the current control of Usizang, in this way, the purpose of controlling Usizang can be achieved, I think, although I can't say that I actually control it, but it is far stronger than the current tributary system," Yang Gai added.

Sun Chengzong was still difficult to understand the emperor's meaning at first, but when he heard the emperor say this, he also felt that there was some truth, learning and learning from the control methods of Wusizang today, and adding the factor of the Ming Dynasty to this method, which is indeed somewhat feasible. No matter how barren and distant Nauszor is, the control methods that have been born and raised here can always adapt to that place.

I only ,........., return to Your Majesty. What His Majesty said, there is indeed some truth, although Wusizang is distant and barren, and it is difficult for my Ming Dynasty to actually control it for a long time, but if it is said that on the basis of Wusizang's control of the Wusizang region, it is indeed worth a try, I don't know what Your Majesty intends to do..., although the minister thinks that it is somewhat possible, but the minister still wants to remind His Majesty that Wusizang is too far away and barren, and His Majesty has to think about the east there, and he still has to think twice" Sun Chengzong said.

"Yes! This, I think, is indeed worth a try, that Wusizang is also called Weizang by our dynasty, and there has always been a tradition of my dynasty's feudal edicts, until now, although the number of times I come to pay tribute is less, but there is always such a sentiment and saying, and there is also such a history, speaking of which, it is not that I make it ......up randomly," Yang Reform said.

"This, Your Majesty is also reasonable, that Wu Sizang has always been under the edict of our dynasty, what does Your Majesty plan to do?" When Sun Chengzong heard this, he felt that there was some truth again, although the emperor's words were fierce enough, what Buddha and Buddha should be, but think about it, in the past, the Ming Dynasty did not give a lot of things to the lamas over there, what Dharma kings, what teachers are a lot, count it up. It is also justified that the Ming Dynasty wanted to get involved in the affairs of that place. Sun Chengzong wanted to hear what the emperor's specific plans were.

"My plan, the place of Wusizang, or to implement the current method to control, but also to adapt to this Wusizang, directly by my Ming to control is obviously not possible, I summarized the ruling method of the place of Wusizang, and only the unity of politics and religion can adapt to that place, by me to seal the big thorn, and then by the lamas, monks, religion to control the place, the basic method is this..."

“…… What I can do is to use the unity of politics and religion there, to indirectly realize the rule there, to control the great lamas, monks, and religions, and then to rule that place through the great lamas, monks, and religions, so that we don't have to spend too much liliang in the place of Usizang, and we can get the maximum benefit with the least effort," Yang Gai continued to explain.

"Unity of religion and ......, control of the great lamas, monks, religions?" Sun Chengzong thought about it along the emperor's mind, this trajectory, speaking of which, is not the emperor's whimsy, the former Yuan also seems to use this means, speaking of which, it is also through the control of the upper echelons of the place of Uszang to achieve the purpose of rule, the Ming Dynasty also followed the former Yuan learning, but the control is much lower than the former Yuan, at the beginning the Ming Dynasty still has considerable influence over there, but the later it goes, the weaker the influence of the Ming Dynasty on that side, and finally it is a formality, and now, there are even lamas who participate in the conquest of the northern grasslands, There was a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Chengzong felt that this problem still had to ...............be solved.

“… Please also explain in detail Your Majesty, what about the integration of church and state? And how to effectively control the great lamas, monks, and religions, if it is just a simple edict, I am afraid that it is useless, if my dynasty is strong, those mages who have been enshrined in my dynasty, the Dharma King will still obey my dynasty, but if my dynasty is weak, it will definitely backfire on our dynasty" Sun Chengzong asked. From the shock just now, Sun Chengzong quickly turned into understanding and support.

"Well, Master Sun is right, we must guard against them, my idea is to support the larger religious sects above the Zai family, with their leaders as the leaders of the integration of politics and religion, each in charge of one side, that is, to prevent one family from becoming dominant, but also to form constraints, these families are not only religious leaders, but also the leaders of government affairs, I control them, and then they control Wu Sizang, as for the way to control them, such as the need for my canonization to be the leader, for example, every once in a while, you need to come to my court to see my Ming Emperor, For example, when the canonization is done, it is also necessary to meet my Ming Emperor and obtain the recognition of my Ming Emperor, and for example, from the legal theory to stipulate that Wu Sizang belongs to my Ming Dynasty, limit their relationship with my Ming Dynasty, set up subordinate offices for them, formulate management authority, delineate their respective management territories, unify the names of various places, stipulate the use of my Ming script, language, use my Ming Dynasty's chronology, postal services, roads, commerce, etc."

Sun Chengzong listened and was silent.

“… Another example is economic control, such as giving some trade privileges to those leaders, allowing them to control a certain share of trade like the Imperial Allied Army," Yang said a lot.

Sun Chengzong was silent.

“… In fact, in the end, we still need to marry a strong military backing, and our dynasty still needs to have the ability to enter Tibet at any time to quell the rebellion in order to suppress Wusizang, although it does not require the army to stay in Wusizang all the time, but it is also necessary to maintain the ability to enter Tibet at any time, and the ability to fight when entering Tibet" Yang Gai continued.

Sun Chengzong was even more speechless, although the emperor said this very well, but the difficulties in this can also be imagined, the emperor's idea is good, but the barren and distant place of Xiangdao, Sun Chengzong's support just a little bit has almost dissipated.

"Now that Lamaism is making waves in the revolution, it is just the right opportunity to subdue them, and after they have been subdued, they will sit down and talk about how to rule Uszang, and at that time, my demands should be met," Yang said.

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to subdue the lama, but it is still difficult to control this matter for a long time! Although the integration of politics and religion seems to be good, but the minister has to say, in the future, I am only afraid that I will pay more for this place in Wusizang, and Your Majesty should be cautious in this matter" Sun Chengzong pondered for a while and said.

Yang Reform was silent, he may indeed think too ideally, although the integration of politics and religion seems to be a historical trend, danshi, there is no wind and waves in between?

"Although it is difficult to control Uszang at present, I must take these places!" Yang Gai said firmly.

"Oh, why did Your Majesty say that?" Sun Chengzong was puzzled, and wanted to further persuade the emperor, but when he heard the emperor say this, he asked again.

"Master Sun, have you ever heard the phrase drinking water and thinking about the source?" Yang Gai said.

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard it." Sun Chengzong replied puzzled.

"Then Master Sun, do you know where the source of the Yangtze River is?" Yang asked again.

"This, Your Majesty means, the source of the Yangtze River is in Wusizang?" Sun Chengzong was immediately shocked! This statement zhende is very fresh.

"Yes, I talked to Xu Xiake, and according to him, the source of the Yangtze River is estimated to be in Wusizang, but there is no on-the-spot investigation, and listening to Xu Xiake, it can't be wrong," Yang Gai said.

"This ......," Sun Chengzong didn't know what to say.

“…… In addition to the Yangtze River, the source of the Yellow River is also in Wusizang......" Yang said. Yang Gengai saw that even Sun Chengzong didn't seem to support himself very much, so he could only take this out and talk about it, although the integration of politics and religion was used well by the Qing Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty, this was synonymous with "scum", and it was too difficult to get recognition.

"Ahh Sun Chengzong was a little dumbfounded.

“… It is said that Wusizang, in addition to the source of these two rivers, there are other big rivers, also originated there, although this Wusizang is barren and distant, but it has an inextricable relationship with our dynasty, people say that drinking water thinks of the source, but if the source of the mother river of my Chinese land is lost, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River will become a source of water, so that the place of Wusizang, although barren and distant, and it is not easy to control, and it has to be pasted into a lot of capital, but I still have to take those places, and I have to be able to control it, not for anything else, just to raise me the source of the Mother River of the Chinese land," Yang Gai said.
