Chapter 189: Taming the Beast

Although the snow leopard did not come closer, such a large beast was not far away, which still made people frightened.

Fortunately, the temple site has been chosen, and the explanation has been explained, so Chizun said: "Why don't you go back to the palace here?" ”

Li Yuntong also nodded, in order to choose a site early, he ate a little bit in the morning, this time it has been almost digested, and he just went back to eat more.

The snowy area is not as flat as the Central Plains, when going out, as long as it is a little farther away, even the noblewomen and nobles love to ride horses, when they come out early, Li Yuntong and their line, even the master and the servant are riding horses, seeing the two queens on the horse, everyone also turned over on the horse.

The snow leopard, which had not moved, suddenly ran over.

Even the most docile mare is frightened, neighing and scattering.

Seeing that the horse team was about to run away and become unformed, and the snow leopard was about to catch up, Li Yuntong picked up the bow and arrow on the saddle, stretched out the bow and arrows, and aimed at the snow leopard......

"Unless you are sure that you will be killed with an arrow, the wounded leopard will go mad, and the road is not rough, but it is not smooth, and if you startle the horse, the lives of the nobles will not be saved."

Before Li Yuntong's arrow was fired, a young man in a monk's robe came over a few times, stopped the snow leopard, and when the snow leopard sat down obediently, he whistled a few times in his mouth, and the horses that were originally panicked slowly quieted down, and he came over and saluted, and smiled at Li Yuntong.

"Master Solangeji, since you know that the leopard is fierce, you should take care of it, how can you let it come out and run around?" Chizun frowned and said softly.

"Yes, the poor monk made a mistake. No one came to this area on weekdays, and the poor monks played with it, if it weren't for the neighing of horses just now, which disturbed the nobles, it was indeed inappropriate. I also hope that Momeng will look at the poor monk's unintentionality, don't mind. Solangeji lowered his eyebrows and immediately apologized.

Although he lowered his eyebrows, Solange Deji was born with peach blossom eyes, and the tails of his eyes were still slightly raised.

Chizun was a little unhappy in his heart, but Solang Deji is a monk, and he is the second disciple of the archmage, and at the moment Tubo is still a big Bon sect, and even the affairs of the court and government are more restrained, Solang Deji has already indicated that there is no one here before he indulges the snow leopard to run around, if they take this matter seriously, I am afraid that the archmage will be able to detain her hat of taking the opportunity to exclude dissidents in the next day, and talk about the dispute between Bon and Buddhism.

But if you don't care at all, I'm afraid that the Bon monks will be more rampant, although the recent generations of Zampu have the intention to suppress the power of Bon, but among the nobles, there are a large number of people who believe in Bon, and this generation is also, in addition to some of the original monks, among the nobles, it is Sambuza who brought back some Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu.

Because Chizun believed in Buddhism and her status was noble, in order to please her, some of the noblewomen began to get close to Buddhism, which improved slightly. Although it is already openly and secretly competing with Bon, Buddhism has always been weak, and if even the two queens swallowed this breath, some of the believers who had been gathered together so easily would be dispersed again......

Just when Chizun hesitated how to deal with this matter, Li Yuntong spoke, she put away her bow and arrows, and said lightly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, there was no one before, the master can run around with the leopard at will, now this place has been requisitioned by the royal family, the Buddhist temple in Momeng will be built here, and there will be few people in the future, so the master can not make such a mistake again." Otherwise, if the animal commits a mistake, its owner will be held responsible. ”

Although the affairs of the Buddhist temple have basically been decided, before the will of Zampu was invited, it was decided by Li Yuntong, and even Chizun was a little discolored.

But at this moment, they were on the same team, and they had the same hatred, so Chizun naturally couldn't hold back, so in an instant, he said to Solang Deji: "Forget it this time, next time there will be such a thing, it's not so easy to talk about." ”

Then she raised her voice and ordered, "Let's go—"

Solang Deji led the snow leopard, which was as well-behaved as a cat at this moment, and stood aside with his hands folded, "The poor monk thanks the two Momeng and Zanmeng for their unresponsible kindness, and sends you nobles." ”

Watching them ride away, a smile appeared on Solangeji's lips.

Back in the Potala Palace, Li Yuntong left her to eat in her own palace courtyard by further discussing the matter of the Buddhist temple with Chizun.

"I look at Na Solang Deji like a beast, and the dispute with Bon is probably very tricky." Li Yuntong said that he was worried.

Chizun sighed: "The Bon religion has deep roots in Tibet, and the disciples under the archmage are good at their own abilities, and there are countless followers under the sect. Don't talk about anything else, you see how much trouble Na Ruomu has caused in our palace, just like that, the archmage can only be exposed with a reprimand for the lax teaching, why don't you want to investigate Cai Bangsa that day? It's really a big Bon sect, and it's not time to tear your face. ”

Li Yuntong thought that Cai Bangsa let it go so gently that day because she was a believer in Bon and didn't like her daughter-in-law, but she couldn't help but be surprised that it was such a reason, "The power of Bon is so great that it can threaten the imperial power?" ”

Chizun smiled bitterly, "Sister, you come from the Tang Dynasty, no wonder you don't know the reason, Bon was originally the state religion of Tibet, although the status is not as good as before, but the folk customs are heavy on ghosts and witches, and the sheep is regarded as a great god, and the monks of Bon know the scriptures, and the monks must be invited to participate in the decision-making of national affairs......"

Seeing that Li Yuntong was thoughtful, Chizun continued: "The officials at all levels have to ask the monks when they encounter problems, and even above the court, there are monks who divide and rule with Zampu, and the archmage is the monk who can influence the country's political affairs. ”

Chizun's eyebrows and eyes were a little more serious, "Even the last time Tubo used troops in the Tang Dynasty, according to Zampu's meaning, he was going to continue fighting, but seeing that Zampu insisted on refusing to retreat, the archmage instructed the eight ministers to kill themselves one after another, so as to dissuade Zampu." The people below also complained about Zampu, thinking that it was a mistake for him to send troops to the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Actually, the reason why the army was defeated that time was because the archmage divined and chose Songzhou, a major town in Bashu thousands of miles away, to attack, if according to Zampu's original intention, he originally wanted to fight Tuyuhun and then march north to cross the Qilian Mountain, and take the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty - the Hexi Corridor...... After the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, the reputation of the archmage increased, and Zampu suffered a lot of complaints. ”

Li Yuntong frowned when she heard this, she had heard her father and brother sigh on the way to get married, although Songzhou is closer to Chang'an, but surrounded by mountains, the road is biased and difficult to travel, and the pass is heavily conducive to the defense of the Tang soldiers.

Chizun sighed: "Because the Tubo soldiers and horses successively conquered the Tuyuhun and Bailan countries, and the expedition to the Tang Dynasty led to the defeat of the army, and the expedition took a long time and did not get the expected victory, the archmage put all the fault on Zampu, and the people below were very dissatisfied with Zampu." If it weren't for the big plan, personally led the team to Datang to ask for Zampu's marriage again, and successfully married you back, Zampu's position would probably be affected......"

What Chizun said, Li Yuntong also heard a little, at that time, the second battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, although Niu Jinda's army was able to win, but a big reason for the victory of that battle was due to the fact that the Tubo people were good at attacking but not good at defending, and the time to capture Songzhou City was too short, and they did not recover the hearts of the local people.

Moreover, at that time, although the Tibetan soldiers and horses did not hold the city, they were not completely defeated, and the men and horses led by Songtsen Gampo were still left in the west of Songzhou, confronting the Tang army, and could come back at any time.

If there is nothing to do on weekdays, the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of fighting with Tubo again, but at that time, the Xue Yantuo people were dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty to place the Eastern Turkic tribes in the Monan region, and raised troops to attack the center of the Monan region, Baidaochuan, the Tang army united with the Turkic Khitan and other subordinates, and went out to fight with the Xue Yantuo people in Baidaochuan, so that the troops in Guanzhong were empty, and they needed Niu Jinda to lead the army back as soon as possible to defend the capital.

At that time, if you continue to entangle with Tubo, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to start a war.

If you really have to wait until the fight is broken and bloody, you will have to wait until the fight is broken and then negotiate peace, even if Datang wins, it will cost the people and money.

Therefore, when Songtsen Gampo sent someone to ask for marriage, the Son of Heaven discussed with the courtiers and weighed the pros and cons, and felt that harmony was also the least loss for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuntong never expected that Songtsen Gampo would still want to fight again at that time, if it weren't for the death of eight ministers in a row, he didn't know what the battle of Tangbo would be like and how it would be ruined.

He's really an ambitious man.

From this point of view, the archmage also counted as a good thing.

But with different positions, different views, at this time Li Yuntong and Songtsen Gampo are husband and wife, so she naturally wants to stand on his side and help him act.

Moreover, she is a person who believes in Buddhism and worships Buddha, in her opinion, Bon is more similar to Wudao, compared with the two, to promote Buddhism, she also wants to work with Chizun to help Songtsen Gampo and suppress the power of Bon.

"We have a saying in Datang, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, I need to know more about the situation on the Bon side, and I also ask my sister to give me advice on weekdays. Right now, this Solange Deji is a beast, and we have to find such a person to restrain him. Otherwise, if he can understand the language of a hundred beasts, he will be very passive when he has to fight. ”

Chizun nodded, "That's right, Zampu and I also have concerns about this, but there is such a person, but that woman lives in the mountains and does not understand the world, no matter how many ways we think of it, she refuses to go out of the mountain, and she can't force her, so there is no other way for a while." ”

Li Yuntong thought for a while and said: "If you don't understand the world, high-ranking officials will naturally not have temptation to her, but there is always something good for a person, let people try to inquire first, see what she likes, and then let's start." ”
