It stands to reason that Zhu Cihong should be particularly cordial to Tibetan Buddhism. Because only Tibetan Buddhism has made the practice of reincarnation of life and life as its own signboard, even the Han Buddhism of the same sect Shakyamuni has never been so ostentatious that this is the first time that he has come to brush up on the world.

However, the problem is that reincarnation happens to oneself, and one can be sure that it is true. But when someone else says the same thing, how can it be verified? Just like the Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen in front of him, is it the wisdom of the world, or the elite of the people? How is it determined?

What's more, Zhu Cihong always felt that even if the reincarnation of generations really happened, it was just a natural phenomenon, and there was no need to take it out and hang it up in words. Otherwise, there is a suspicion of confusing people's minds and embezzling the merits of their predecessors. Coupled with the various political goals of the Tibetan Living Buddha, this theory of reincarnation seems even more suspicious.

As a person who aspires to become a politician, Zhu Cihong will no longer be bothered by the naïve and naïve question of authenticity. As long as Tibetan Buddhism is beneficial to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it can be used completely.

"I have issued an edict to Shuo Lei before, as long as he obeys, he will still be a obedient citizen of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity......" Zhu Cihong clicked on "Three Chapters of Dingmeng", and said: "It can be seen that people's hearts are ghostly, and it is already difficult to guess." I introspected myself, thinking that they were still stubborn, and there should be good medicine to heal their hearts. ”

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen lifted his spirits and said, "The Holy Emperor is wise and wise, and the Dharma is the medicine that heals people's hearts. I think that the Tibetan place is a place of ignorance, and it is precisely because of the spread of Buddhism that people know more about etiquette, righteousness, and shame, and do nothing. If the Son of Heaven uses great power to promote Buddhism in Mongolia, it is really immeasurable, and the little monk is fortunate to be able to do it! ”

"Imitated in the places of Wusizang and Duogan, the feudal king was regarded as the head of governance, and the lay officials were the auxiciar. How is it? Zhu Cihong seems to be consulting, but it is actually thrown meat. As long as Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen bites it, Mongolia or Tibet will not be able to escape.

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen has studied in Tibet for many years and knows the causes and consequences of Tibet. It is also known that the power of the monks and monks in this place is very great, and it can be said that it is an independent kingdom centered on the temple.

In the title of Dharma King, "Law" is the identity mark, and "King" is the actual power. The Dharma King also formed his own ruling body with his disciples and disciples, the so-called monks and officials, who were killed and seized in their territory, and in essence were no different from secular feudal states.

Tibetans kneel when they see lamas and monks, not only because of faith, but also because of the oppression of secular power.

Emperor Ming clearly wanted to make an alliance with the Yellow Sect. Divide up the land and population of the Khans of Mongolia together!

"The Holy Emperor is wise." Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen could not even search his mind for words of praise that would express his joy, so he could only repeat what he had said before, but this time with a deep sense of admiration.

"The Gelug Sect is going to be cultivated, right?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen said: "Back to the Holy Emperor, it is true. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded: "I admire outsiders who can self-deny and cultivate. If so, south to the Great Wall, north to the pole, west of the Shida Xing'an Mountains, all the Gelug priests. They are exempt from taxes and do not perform public service. Make them practice with peace of mind. ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Holy Emperor." Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen bowed to the ground.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand and said, "But my grace is only for true practitioners, those fake monks who corrupt the Dharma in monk's clothes and do not abide by the rules and precepts, the monk should be optimistic about me!" ”

"Those who do not abide by the rules will definitely not let them mix in the Buddhism." Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen affirmed.

"Mongolia is not a small area. I am afraid that one Dharma king is not enough to govern properly. Zhu Cihong said: "I mean that with the desert as the center, there are four Mongolian capitals in the east, west, south and north, all of which are commanded by Han officials, who are responsible for protecting the Dharma King and reaching the upper and lower levels. Within the divisions. Then he honored the Dharma King and ruled over all monks and believers. The original Mongol khans only governed the common people other than the believers, how about it? ”

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen heard the sound outside the strings. Unlike the Wusi Zangdu Division and the Duogandu Division, the Great Tomorrow Son intended to let the Han officials serve as the commanders of the capital, which was actually to let the Han soldiers be stationed in the grassland. He also said that he would protect the Dharma King, so could the Dharma King's personal entourage of monks still be established?

This is the condition of the Ming Dynasty, if the Yellow Sect wants to fight for interests, the breakthrough is only in those Mongol Khan kings.

The bread is so big that it is impossible to have an extra piece out of thin air. Since the Ming Dynasty has cut off most of it, the rest is the matter of the King of Law and the King of Khan.

"Holy Emperor, dare to ask the people if there are rules for becoming a monk?" Lobsang Danbe Gyaltsen asked.

From the Tang Dynasty onwards, in order to prevent too many monks from affecting the country's productivity, the imperial court had to conduct examinations for monks. If you fail to pass the exam, you will not be given a degree. Because of the benefits of tax exemption and exemption for monks, Du Mu was once also hard currency.

Emperor Ming gave the Gelug monks the preferential treatment of tax exemption and exemption, if there is no restriction, it is a little unrealistic to think about it.

Zhu Cihong said: "As long as there is a master who is willing to accept his subordinates, register them, and send them to the capital division, the capital division will naturally give the documents of tax exemption and exemption. If the subordinates dare to ask for money because of this, the monk will come to Beijing to complain. Zhu Cihong smiled: "Mr. Wu, the Ministry of Rites knows that every three years, the great monk is invited to enter Beijing. I'm happy to talk to him, too. ”

Wu Fu sat on his seat and bowed down.

"No number of people?" Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen Daqi.

"Buddhism is vast, what number of people?" Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen's heart was shaken: Could it be that this emperor is really a person who believes in Buddhism?

"Great monk," Zhu Cihong said suddenly, "You can come to sue, and the kings of the various khans can also come to sue." If the monks under your seat do evil, I will not be partial. ”

"This is the right principle, and the little monk is also happy to see the magnificence of the king's law and clean up those evil demons wearing Buddha clothes." Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen said.

"Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen," Zhu Cihong said, "I am the Dharma King of the Great Light, the leader of the Four Mongolian Dharma Kings, and the teacher of the Four Mongolian Dharma Kings for many generations. ”

"Thank you, your majesty!"

"It is bitterly cold outside, I will build a monastery for you as a place to educate the Dharma King and monks." Zhu Cihong saw that several civil officials were a little strange, and said: "How about I allocate 300,000 taels from the royal treasury?" ”

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen had to kneel down again and bow down.

Because this temple is the residence of King Daguang, the royal pen gave the plaque of "Daguang Temple". The system is all Tibetan. In order to clean up the 300,000 taels, the temple is resplendent and luxurious. Any monk who enters the mountain gate of the Great Light Temple can immediately feel the solemn Buddha land.

The construction of the temple is expected to take three years. In the next three years, there will be a lot of donations from the faithful, so it is impossible to spend less than one million taels when the final project is completed. If you change to a living Buddha with no vision, you may be so happy that you can't close your mouth, but unfortunately Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen is not such a mediocre person.

He was immersed in a lot of confusion all day long, and only when he meditated and chanted could he enjoy a moment of peace.

Because the Great Light Monastery is not in Urge, not in the Tushetu Khan, not in Khalkha, not even in Mongolia......

Daguang Temple in Xi'an.

Daming, Shaanxi, Xi'an.

According to the agreement, when the Daguang Temple is completed, Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen will go to Xi'an Daguang Temple to serve as the abbot, and he will be the abbot of the Daguang Temple for many generations in the future. If he was only accused in Xi'an, it would have been fine, but the Ming court had set a threshold for the confirmation of the four great kings of Mongolia.

The reincarnation of the four great Dharma Kings of Mongolia must be determined by the Great Light Dharma King, and each spirit child must study in the Great Light Temple for ten years before returning to the Four Mengdu Divisions to sit on the bed. The commanders of the Ming Dynasty in Simeng had the right to observe the ceremony, and denied the unruly enthronement ceremony and did not recognize his status as the king.

- It's like a piece of cheese with poison. It smells tempting, but eating it hurts people's lives.

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen paced in the courtyard, unable to untie this dead knot even after more than ten lifetimes of practice. For him, watching the Mongols go to war with the heavenly soldiers was the best strategy, because there were many Han people and few Mongols, and even if the two sides suffered mixed casualties, the Mongols could not afford to consume them.

Because of this variable in the Chechen Ministry, many Khalkha tribes were unwilling to fight to the death with the Ming army, and preferred to open bazaars and trade goods. This is the desire of the people, and if they use the influence of Buddhism to force them, they may even turn their backs on the Yellow Sect and switch to other sects like Lin Dan Khan.

Gushi Khan helped the Gelug sect become the leader of Buddhism in Lhasa by force, but it was impossible to eradicate the power of the other factions. If the Yellow Sect refused to accept the covenant of the Ming Court, the Great Treasure Dharma King would definitely be very happy to see it.

The Great Treasure Dharma King is a Tibetan monk who was crowned by the Emperor of Chengzu, and his title is "Ten Thousand Lines, the Most Victorious, the Wonderful Wisdom, the Good Wisdom, the Blessing of the Country, the Great Treasure of the Buddha, the Great Treasure of the West, the Great Benevolence, and the Buddha", who leads the world to interpret the teachings. In terms of faction, His Holiness is a Kagyu guru, because the monks have white stripes in their skirts, and later scholars are also commonly known as "white teachings".

The rise of the Yellow Religion in Tibet and the general expansion of the general trend are naturally unpleasant to see. It is true that the political ecology of Tibet at that time, and the expansion of the religious field directly led to the competition for the area of the territory, the monks, the people, the temple property and taxes, so the people who believed in Buddhism were tolerant and peaceful, obviously did not know the cruelty of the religious dispute at that time.

In order to let Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen know that there were alternatives for the Ming Dynasty, the Sanglu Division specially sent famous monks from the Han Dynasty to Lhasa Chubu Monastery to pay homage to the Great Treasure Venerable King. He also revealed his intention to invite His Holiness Dabao to Beijing and debate the scriptures with Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen, the Venerable King of Great Light.

Once the debate is debated, there will be a winner or loser, which is certainly a matter of despair for believers who are full of religious fanaticism, but it is something to be avoided by political figures. Especially for Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen, victory is not enough to achieve more political benefits. If you lose, you will definitely lose more vested interests.

How could he do such a thing that outweighed the losses?

And the Ming Court, as the active party, whether he really wanted to see the wisdom competition of the two Dharma Kings, or was blackmailing, it made the young Great Light Dharma King unable to parry. (To be continued......)
