694 The Panchen Lama and the National Teacher Protector Khan

The Great Light Dharma King finally compromised with the Ming Court, returned to Mobei with a cart of blank edicts, recruited disciples, and canonized the law king.

These four Dharma Kings have more than ten generations of past lives that can be traced, and even if they are not disciples of Tsongkhapa, they are also disciples of the Great Light Dharma King in their previous lives, and they have quite a lot of backgrounds. And these well-known cultivators all happened to come from the families of the Khan kings of the Khalkha Mongolian tribes.

All have a father who is the king of the Khan, I don't know if it's a coincidence, or the standard when the living Buddhas are reincarnated.

Although the Ming Dynasty set up a capital command department, the provincial capital department now does not actually have military power. In particular, the four Mondusi just set up a castle near the temple where the King of Dharma was stationed in Xi, and it was good to spend his days in the castle, and it would be good to meet the enthronement ceremony of the King once in a term. The day-to-day work was to check the number of monks, to make a register, and to issue documents for exemption from duty. These documents are changed every three months, and finally the officials of the capital department have something to do.

"Sometimes management is not necessarily about receiving certain benefits, and it is the same thing that management needs to do to exempt subordinates from obligations." Zhu Cihong's education is gradually getting older, and after the first month of the fifth year of Longjing, although he is not enough to officially go out of the cabinet to contact his teachers in the East Palace, the teaching task has become heavier and heavier, and he has a fixed homework every day.

In this sensitive period of the formation of world views and values, Zhu Cihong did not dare to relax the consciousness indoctrination of the crown prince. The point is to let the crown prince know that the peaceful and prosperous era is not shouted out by some people, but decided by the lives of the Ming Dynasty and the vast majority of the people.

This is not for a vanity and fame, but the key to determining the rise and fall of the family. If the vast majority of the people can be fed and clothed warmly, and have something to do and have a permanent production, how can Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong make a fuss?

Zhu Hegui seemed to be a little numb by schoolwork, and his eyes no longer had the agility of his childhood. Zhu Cihong ordered several times that the lecturers should not put too much pressure on the crown prince, but the lecturers were also innocent. Because this is the crown prince's own desire to study, the crown prince must not be forbidden to study.

Zhu Cihong could only find time to force his son to accompany him to ride horses, take a walk, and enjoy flowers and plants. In fact, this is very painful, because Zhu Cihong himself is not happy about it, and the crown prince is purely perfunctory.

Sticking to your hobby is something that many people can do, but sticking to doing things that are good for you but not fun. It's a test of perseverance.

In April of the fifth year of Longjing, the Second Guards Army left a stone monument in Langjuxu Mountain, Beihai-Baikal, Urge and other places, and donated to build temples. In the prairie, the stele will turn into a vague pockmarked slate with the wind and sand, but the temple will be passed down from generation to generation without fear of collapse.

The footprints of the Second Guards Army will also be fixed on the steppes by these steles and temples.

In May of the same year, the First Guards Army arrived at Jiayuguan and joined forces with the Long Army led by Dang Shousu, and the troops were directed at Hami.

……

"The Ming Dynasty was already in decline and flourishing. almost lost the country, but now he is using troops on a large scale, I don't know what the reason is? Gushi Khan Tulubai, who had a beard, respectfully inquired about the old man in front of him.

"The phoenix will be reborn in the flames." The old man said in a deep voice: "The Ming Kingdom has been reborn once, that's all, it's not surprising. ”

"Master, your disciple Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen has now accepted the gift of the Ming Kingdom, put the Ming army into the grassland, and faced the four tribes of Warat. Isn't that enough to be alarming? "Tulubaihu was the leader of the Moxi Mongols, that is, the Heshute tribe of Warat.

The Heshuo Special Department was originally stationed at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Because of the suppression and exclusion of the Dzungar Ministry, the Heshute Ministry crossed the Tianshan Mountains. Arrived at the southern foot of the herd. In the 22nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Tulu Baihu was only thirteen years old, and he led his army to defeat the 40,000 troops of the Ogarhot Department and occupied the area of Balikun and Urumqi in later generations.

In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, Tulu Baihu was highly regarded for his contribution to quelling the war between the Warat people and the Khalkha Mongols. He was awarded the title of "Great Power Teacher" by East Korkhhutuktu. The word Gushi Khan is the transliteration of "national teacher".

In the years that followed, Tulubaihu joined forces with Batur Huntaiji, the father of Geldan of the Dzungar tribe, to invade Kazakhstan and won the victory.

Chongzhen nine years. In order to find a new pasture, Tulu Baihu accepted the invitation of the 4th Panchen Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen and joined forces with Batur Huntaiji to march into Qinghai, defeat Chotu Khan, and occupy Qinghai.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Tulu Baihu went to Lhasa to meet with the Dalai Lama V and the Panchen Lama IV. Tenzin Qujie" - the national teacher holds the title of the king of the teachings. It is also known as "Tenzin Chokyi Jiabo", which means "Buddhist Dharma Protector". The Mongolian language is also known as "Gu Shi? "Nomen Khan" i.e. "National Teacher? Protector Khan".

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Tulu Baihu led his troops to attack Lhasa, sewed the Zangba Khan, who believed in the Kagyu school, into a cowhide bag and threw it into the river.

Because Zangba Khan once abolished the title of the Dalai Lama, he was an enemy of the Yellow Sect.

Tulu Baihu thus began the rule of the Heshute Khanate in Tibet and Qinghai, and vigorously supported the Yellow Religion. He worshipped the 4th Panchen Lama as his teacher and presented him with the honorific title of "Panchen Boktor". Among this honorific titles, "Ban" means Sanskrit wisdom, "Zen" means Tibetan grandeur, and "Bokdo" is the Mongolian honorific title for heroic figures. Only from this honorific name, you can see the mixed cultural integration of Qinghai-Tibet.

Today, the 4th Panchen Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen is 85 years old, and he belongs to the old man in both Tibet and Han. He has experienced many things, his heart is tenacious, and under the face of a gentle and kind old monk is the perseverance of the plateau people.

"If you have a confrontational heart in everything, then you have fallen into inferiority." The Panchen said: "The re-emergence of the Ming Dynasty is not an opportunity to gain peace and tranquility. Dambe Gyaltsen has sent me a letter, and he firmly believes that the Ming Emperor is an emperor who has the heart to protect the Dharma and promote the teachings. The Panchen paused and then said, "You should trust his judgment." ”

Tulu Baihu asked in his heart: Although the Ming Emperor can believe in Buddhism, what should we, the Khan kings of our tribes, do? Won't the Ming Dynasty rob us of our land and pastures?

The Panchen's wise gaze pierced Tulu Baihu's heart and said, "Don't dwell on the gains and losses of one time and one place. Being with the huge Ming Kingdom may be able to bring unexpected gains to your clan. ”

"Please make it clear." Tulubai bowed in for instructions. He was the leader of a khanate, not a mere believer. If there is enough price, he may not be able to betray the Yellow Sect, and he can even work for the Kagyu Sect. What's more, Mingguo is now standing with Gelugism and belongs to "his own people".

"How vast was Genghis Khan's territory back then? Are the Khans in these territories still members of the Golden Family? The Panchen suddenly asked.

Genghis Khan was the hero of all Mongols, no matter how many aliens he killed and how much he brought painful memories to other civilizations, he would eventually mourn the memory of his people for generations.

Every Mongolian has a heroic dream. As a member of the Golden Family, Tulubaihu naturally expects to achieve great things for himself.

"Not really, Master." Tulubaihu replied.

As a border with Central Asia, Moxi Mongolia still has some understanding of the relatives who stayed in Central Asia.

Beginning with the Kazakh Khanate, including the Mughal Khanate, which is now a state in India, it is no longer the Mongol khanate of Genghis Khan's time.

These distant Mongolian relatives intermarried with the local Turks and became Turkicized Mongols, writing and speaking in the Turkic language, and even their faces became more Turkic.

"There is no difference between people, they are separated in their hearts." The Panchen placed his heart in the position: "Not only did they give up the glory of their ancestors, but they even believed in the foreign way, are these what Genghis Khan was happy to see?" ”

Genghis Khan himself was a Taoist, after Kublai Khan, the Mongol and Yuan royal families worshipped Buddhism, and the Turkic Mongols in Central Asia believed in Islam.

"Shizun means ......" Tulu Baihu seemed to have some enlightenment, and with the few words of the Panchen Lama, he seemed to see a wider world.

He had traveled to the Kazakh Khanate and knew that there was an abundance of water and grass. What if the four tribes of Warat can unite and march west again, handing over the bitter cold and arid land of Qinghai-Tibet to the Ming Kingdom? The most important thing is to get the benefit yourself.

What's more, the Ming Kingdom will not really take away these lands, can the Han people make a living here? It's nothing more than accepting the canonization of the Ming Court, and it's not that he hasn't accepted it.

"Why don't you go to Beijing for the Hajj?" Panchen smiled: "Even the old monk wants to see the scenery of Han soil." ”

Tulu Baihu nodded: "Thanks to the teachings of the master, the disciple discussed with the monk and went north together." ”

Warat is dominated by the four major tribes of Dzungaria, Heshute, Dulbert, and Turgot, and also leads the smaller tribes such as Huite. Among the four major tribes, the Dzungar tribe is now the leader, so the leader of the Dzungar tribe is also the leader of the entire Warat tribe.

In the third year of Longjing, in 1653, the leader of Dzungaria, Batur Huntaiji, who led Dzungar to strength, passed away, and his fifth son Sangha ascended the throne.

Tulu Baihu did not have any respect for the Sangha, but was willing to listen to the opinions of the Dzungar tribe purely out of the sake of inter-tribal harmony.

"Their civil strife has just begun, and I'm afraid they don't want to do anything in the east." The Panchen said: "You can go to Beijing by yourself." However, if you are concerned about the Dzungar Ministry, you can take someone with you. ”

"Who is it?" Tulubaihu asked curiously.

"Batur's son, Sangha's younger brother, Geldan." The Panchen replied.

Speaking of Geldan, Tulubaihu remembered the dead Batur Huntaiji. It's not that father and son are similar in appearance, but the habit of oppressing others is the same.

Geldan is only ten years old now, and he can only be regarded as a tiger cub, so why take him with him? (To be continued......)
