The last time *** came, I didn't get the opportunity to meet alone.

However, when the Panchen came this time, Yang Chengying gave it.

The real ruler of the early Gelug school was the Panchen Lama, the 4th Panchen Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen to be precise.

Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen was born into a commoner family, became a monk at the age of thirteen at Wensa Monastery, and studied scriptures at Tashilhunpo Monastery and Ganden Monastery, and was famous for his profound knowledge and eloquence.

In the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616), the fourth *** who was born in the Mongolian aristocracy passed away, and the first Si Phuntsok Namgyal ordered that the reincarnation of the fourth *** should not be recognized.

He hoped to use this to cut off the legal lineage of *** and cut off the connection between the Gelug sect and the Mongol aristocracy.

However, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen had already dealt with this.

He first selected the reincarnated spirit boy from the former Tibetan nobles as a condition, and befriended the local powerful Qiong Jieba family.

The Choan Jieba family served as the second governor of the Pamu Drukpa regime, which was equivalent to the prime minister.

The family got its name because it was enshrined in the Qiongjie.

Similar to the Qiongjiepa family, there are also the Rinpungpa family, the Zakpa family, and powerful family interest groups, which not only affect the direction of the Pamu Drukpa regime, but also affect the history and religion of Tibet to a certain extent.

Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen sent people to borrow troops from the Tumut Department, and the coalition army defeated Zangba Khan Danzhen Wangpo in the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), and welcomed *** from the Qiongjieba family into Drepung Monastery.

At a young age, everything was decided by Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen and Dipa Sonam Qunpei.

Yang Chengying decided to see him alone.

The two met in the library on the second floor of the observation building, and because of the window, they only had to turn their heads to see the lotus pond.

The Panchen Lama sighed: "Your Highness knows how to enjoy it, and reading the recital in such a quiet environment will make it easier to concentrate." As he spoke, he looked at the stacks of notebooks on the table.

Yang Chengying picked up a copy casually, and pretended to sigh: "The territory under my rule is too vast and the human feelings are too complicated, so there are only so many scripts."

This is a truthful statement and a show off.

However, the Panchen Lama mentioned another matter: "Your Highness, I was really shocked by what I saw on the way here."

"Oh?"

"The sun has scorched the land, and the people have died by the roadside, and wild dogs are everywhere."

"No one can avoid natural disasters."

"In my opinion, there are many calamities, and those who give to me are rich families, and their barns are full of grain."

"You're observant."

"I heard that there is a sentence in the Northern Expedition of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and his heirs are in the wilderness, losing the way of the monarch and ministers, and the prime minister is dictatorial, and the Xiantai complains, and there is a division of poison and abuse, so the people's hearts are rebellious, and the world is rising, so that my Chinese people, the liver and brain of the dead are smeared, and the flesh and blood of the living are not protected.

"You mean to say that this is a great time for me to enter the customs and calm the world!"

"Yes. In this essay on Meng Yuan, the sentences in it are not properly fulfilled in the body of the Ming court's own monarch."

"I know what you want, but I already have a plan in mind, and it's not time to lift the lid yet. If you can't even cook a meal in a hurry, what can you do?"

"Your Highness is really not in a hurry?"

"Of course there's no hurry. If I had been in a hurry, I would have entered the customs a few years ago, and I wouldn't have waited until now."

"Your Highness is as steady as a rock, I admire it from the bottom of my heart."

The Panchen's "persuasion" is actually a way of expressing that he is now your subordinate and is on your side.

Of course, the idea of temptation is not excluded. ap.

Yang Chengying was as steady as ever, which made the Panchen feel very tricky.

In his opinion, the Han prince is at the age of his blood and strength, and he should be sharp. However, what he saw was the abyssal ancient pool, which was completely unpredictable.

Yang Chengying saw through him and exposed his knots: "Master, under my rule, religious belief is free, and no one can fight against each other under the guise of 'religion.'" In other words, I will also protect

your legitimate interests."

"What counts as a 'legitimate interest?'"

"In addition to what was promised in the rising sun, there is one more. The land on which the monasteries are offered to the monastery, except for the future payment to the Kashag, is yours."

"Ahem, ahem...... Collecting taxes from the Buddha's followers has never happened in the snowy plateau."

"Not in the past, but now there is."

"Your Highness......

"I know what you're thinking. You must be thinking, what about *** coming to you."

"Well, I didn't mean that."

"I can tell you that the world has changed. I must send troops into Tibet, and by that time, you will not be facing Mongol soldiers."

"Is Your Highness threatening me?"

"No, I'm reminding you that it's not easy for you to get to me this time."

When talking to the actual rulers of the Gelug faction, Yang Chengying was very direct.

Talking about the interests of the gong and the drum in person will help the future development.

The Panchen thought for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, didn't you hear any rumors?"

"What is the purpose of letting you go so easily? I'm his number one enemy."

Yang Chengying analyzed: "Think about it, he once agreed with Zangba Khan to destroy the three major monasteries of the Gelug sect together. Will you die because of me?"

"He didn't do it a few years ago, probably because he was worried that His Highness would take the opportunity to attack. Seeing that the Oirat Mongols have settled down, and I have left the snowy plateau, the yellow hat lacks a presiding."

The Panchen is really extremely clever, and he has understood the key at once.

The purpose of the "connivance" of the Panchen Lama in power was to induce the Panchen Lama to leave the snowy plateau, and then he led his army into Tibet in the name of eliminating the Yellow Hats, and then attacked the Zangba Khan to unify the Tibetan region.

The snowy plateau, like the north and south of the interior, is traditionally divided into three regions:

Weizang, Amdo and Kham districts.

Weizang is a combination of the former Tibet and the latter Tibet, the former Tibet includes Lhasa and Shannan and other places, and the latter Tibet refers to the Shigatse region.

Weizang is the core area of Tibet.

Amdo refers to Qinghai, and the Amdo language is known as "grass dead Tibetan", just as there are Northeast dialects in Northeast China and Cantonese dialects in Guangdong.

Everyone in Kang District is known to be the area of Chamdo.

Now that each of the three regions has its own masters, the alliance is fragile, and it is very likely that they will turn their backs.

Once he turns his face, what will happen to the Gelug sect that lacks presiding, the Panchen Lama just thinks about it, and the spine chills.

"Your Highness, if Choktu Taiji really turns his face against Zangpa Khan, then my Dharma will not be destroyed!"

Panchen's face turned pale.

"It's just speculation, not confirmation. Relax and stay with me for a few days before you go back." Yang Chengying wished for this in his heart.

However, he added, "Of course, if the Guru wants to go back, I will send someone to escort the Guru to the Gansu area."

"No escort, no one will hurt me. It's just that...... I beg your Highness's permission to return to the Snowy Plateau."

"Since the Guru is unwilling, then I will not force it to stay, but allow me to set up a feast for the Guru to practice."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."
