You can offend anyone in the court, even Zaifu and the emperor, but you must not offend the bureaucracy of the entire dynasty.

At present, Buddhism is in this desperate situation where there is almost no hope of breaking the situation, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty shouted together to suppress the Buddha and destroy the Buddha, and the direct result is that the government has cut off nearly ninety percent of the luck of the Buddha with lightning speed.

As for the remaining Yicheng, it is either a royal temple or a real Buddhist sage.

The first thing Jia Shiyi did after returning to Beijing was to hand over the wrestler of the Dragon Guard to Beizhen Fusi.

Jia Cong didn't want to get involved in this matter at all, it involved Wu Sizang and the royal family, needless to say, it was definitely a big trouble.

Sure enough, the court meeting on the sixth day of the sixth month of June had just ended, and before Jia Cong could sneak out of the Forbidden City, he was arrested by the inner servants sent by the emperor.

Unlike the noisy Fengtian Palace, the faces of the monarchs and ministers in the Diligent Administration Hall were solemn.

He Yaomin was frowning, persuading the angry emperor.

"Wusizang is different from the Central Plains, and our dynasty's rule over Wusizang is based on the example of the previous dynasty and worships its religion. If it is according to the religious regulations just implemented by the imperial court, the Wusi Tibet will be opposed. Your Majesty, the old minister is not alarmist, and the imperial court's dominance over Wu Sizang can be said to be extremely weak......"

When Taizu founded the country, when he set up the Xining Sangha Gang Division, he once expressed the central government's policy towards Tibetan Buddhism in the form of a charm.

"Since ancient times, emperors have ruled from afar, and set up officials to manage general affairs. In the ceremonies, there are monks and officials who are in charge of their teachings, and they are not disciples who are monks and are honored, and they want them to cultivate the good way and help the king. Those who are not sincere, have little desire, and are self-controlled, Xi is enough to take office. Now set up the monk gang department, grant you and other officials, and give you a deed. Its body is full of merits, and it is good to turn people into good, and it is admired. ”

To put it bluntly, it is difficult for the central government to exercise substantive jurisdiction over Usizang, and in order to achieve nominal rule over Usizang, the imperial court still imitates the previous dynasty and adopts the tributary system of feudal and appeased feudal feudal domains.

The emperor also understood that He Yaomin's admonition was correct, but he just couldn't swallow it.

A small Uszang Lama dared to speak out about his holy decree, and even wrote that the imperial court's handling of Buddhism was a bloody mistake, and that the imperial court should give up suppressing Buddhism, otherwise it would ......

"Everyone is about to ride on my head, how can you let me endure it? Jia Cong, let's talk about it. ”

Seeing that Jia Cong was "studying" the patterns on the beams and pillars in the hall, the emperor snorted coldly and threw a piece of music over.

Jia Cong hurriedly took it, opened it and immediately scolded for his loyalty.

"Yelang is arrogant, and the little Uszang dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty! The minister asks for an order, as long as His Majesty gives the minister 100,000 troops, the minister has confidence, and he will be in Tibet for five years! ”

The emperor laughed angrily when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word as soon as he slapped the dragon case: "Get out!" ”

Jia Cong not only did not have the slightest panic, but happily stuffed the book into the arms of Jian Zifang, the secretary of the military department.

"Okay, let's get out~"

Boom~

The dragon case was trembling when the emperor patted him, and he saw the green tendons on the emperor's forehead beating suddenly, and he shouted: "Come back to me!" ”

Jia Cong, who was already ready to slip away, reluctantly stopped his cheerful steps, and re-established himself helplessly, listening to the holy teachings of the emperor.

"100,000 troops, five years? I just sent a dog to sit in the position of the coach, and I can bulldoze Ushi! ”

As far as the current military power of Great Xia is concerned, the vast and sparsely populated Uszang can survive March, even if the person leading the army is incompetent.

But everyone understands that the imperial court has no way to take Wusizang for a while, not because there are not enough generals and weapons are not advanced enough, but because the geographical factors of Wusizang are a difficult problem for the imperial court.

The Book of Han contains: "(Go to the country of Zongbin) and experience the mountains of big headaches and small headaches, the red soil, the body is hot, the body is hot and colorless, headache and vomiting, donkeys and animals are all gone." ”

Not to mention anything else, the problem of altitude sickness alone is enough to make it impossible for the imperial court to send a large army to conquer the ministers in the short term.

Moreover, the plateau is difficult to travel, and long supply lines are also a big problem.

Jian Zifang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, had been communicating with Lin Ruhai in a whisper for a while, and when he heard that Jia Cong was an army of 100,000 as soon as he opened his mouth, he almost choked back his internal injuries.

"I said Uncle Yongfeng, do you think my hair doesn't fall out fast enough?"

An army of 100,000? You strangled me with a rope, and I was the secretary of the military department.

After Jian Zifang complained about Jia Cong, he said to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, according to the calculations of the ministers and Lin Shangshu, if you want to quickly pacify the plateau when there is a rebellion in Wusizang, you need at least 200,000 troops and no less than 10 million taels of silver to spend grain and grass, and this is only the estimation of the ministers and Lin Shangshu when everything goes well. ”

Needless to say, if something goes wrong halfway, it is not an accident that the 200,000 army will double again, and the consumption of grain and grass will have to be increased several times.

Unless it is as Jia Cong said, the army of 100,000 will slowly eat away and consume the power of Wu Sizang.

But that would be detrimental to the prestige and interests of the imperial court. Moreover, in the southwest of Wusizang, Xiyi Ke is still waiting for Wusizang and the Celestial Empire to turn around and make trouble.

Lin Ruhai nodded on the side, and the rest of the cabinet ministers and the officials of the six ministries also had similar meanings.

No one expected that the living Buddha of Wusizang, who came to the capital to "meet" the emperor, would express his dissatisfaction with the emperor because of the matter of Buddhism in the Central Plains.

And with his status in Uszang, he publicly stated that if the court did not agree to his request, the Buddhists of Uszang would be very unhappy, and if they were unhappy, Uszang would have to consider whether their loyalty to the court was worth it.

To tell the truth, that is, the emperor has the overall situation in his heart, otherwise the emperor will be angry and bleed for thousands of miles, and without considering the casualties of the army, the forbidden army will go out to fight is a matter of holy decree.

The monarch and the ministers discussed for more than an hour, but they didn't come up with any good solutions.

The court will definitely not be able to agree to Wu Sizang's request, because it is useless for this so-called living Buddha's performance to deal with him.

The suggestion of the Ministry of Rites is to put it on hold for the time being, that is, to use procrastination.

The suggestion of the Ministry of War was to punish the big ones and send an envoy to the Sifang Pavilion to plead on the lamas who were not ashamed.

Oh yes, this lama has a very high status in Uszang.

His name is Dali Ma Ba Ra, the edict awarded the Yuan Zhi Miaojue Hongjiao National Teacher, the Wusizang empowerment National Teacher, and holds the jade seal given by Taizu.

He didn't come to the capital this time to show his eyes to the Central Plains Buddhism, it was called an audience, but in essence, he came to negotiate conditions with the imperial court.

Because there is another force behind him, that is, the Western Yiren who have become the emperor of Tianzhu.

The emperor and all the ministers in the palace understood that the arrival of Ali Mabala was a troublesome and difficult matter, but the imperial court had to deal with it carefully.

You can't kill it, you can't catch it, it's a fucking grievance!

That's what everyone feels in their hearts.

"That...... The minister has an idea, but he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

At the moment when the monarchs and ministers were silent and thinking with bitter faces, Jia Cong's voice was very abrupt.

The emperor said angrily: "If it is still similar to the army of 100,000 and five years of peace, I will definitely hang you on the palace gate and whip you!" ”

Jia Cong grinned, revealing eight neat and white teeth.

"No, the minister wants to ask, are the people of Wusizang the people of the Celestial Empire? Should we bathe in the blessings that His Majesty has bestowed upon all nations? ”

The emperor's patience was almost polished by Jia Cong, this kid, gritted his teeth and said, "This is nature!" I advise you that it is better to finish it all at once, otherwise...... Hehe~"

Jia Cong saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and immediately became serious.

He bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the people of Uszang are living in dire straits...... The people of Uszang mentioned by the minister are not those people in the mouth of the living Buddha and the Dharma king, but those serfs who were ruled by the 'great sages' of Buddhism and the nobles of Uszang. Ninety percent of the people in Uszang have not covered themselves with a piece of clothing, no place to stand, and no grain of grain ......"

The horror of serfdom in Uszang is absolutely unimaginable to the people of the Central Plains.

Those serfs and slaves had no means of production and no personal freedom, and were bought, sold, transferred, gifted, repaid, and exchanged by the serf directors, and they were only "movable property" and "talking tools" of the serf owners.

The serfs were exploited by the double exploitation of Ullah and usury, and they were in debt for life and destitute.

There is a folk proverb that reflects the cruelty of Uszambi's exploitation: "What the lord needs, there will be a difference; What is produced locally, there will be a difference. The difference is as much as a hair, and the water waves are constant. ”

Serf owners set up prisons and private prisons, and torture such as gouging out eyes, cutting out tongues, cutting off hands, chopping off feet, pushing cliffs, and drowning to death was used to all extent.

"A merchant once said that on the streets of Uszang, you will pass by people who have no nostrils, no ears, and no arms. Your Majesty, the "Great Xia Law" is a piece of waste paper in Wusizang, and Your kindness, Your Majesty, can't shine on those serfs at all. Since you think that the people of Uszang are also the people of Bactria and your people, why not issue an edict abolishing serfs, so that the people of Uszang can also bathe in your blessings? ”

"Holy light should be sprinkled on every inch of Great Xia!"

Don't look at the Central Plains There is also a saying of slaves and servants, from a legal point of view, the slaves and servants of each mansion are the people of the emperor, and their right to life is protected by the "Great Xia Law".

Even if it is different from the princes and nobles, the court is not allowed to mutilate slaves without permission.

Moreover, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have only been four classes in Daxia, namely, Shinong, Industry and Commerce.

That is to say, as long as you have a household registration in Daxia, whether you are a citizen or an official, you are the people of the emperor, and you can enjoy the blessing of the Son of Heaven and the blessing of the dynasty.

But Uszang is different, the aristocratic lord has the ownership of serfs and slaves.

Today the old man is unhappy, the woman who slept with the slave had to be pushed behind by the slave himself......

It's far away~

Jia Cong's idea was very simple, since the power of the imperial court could not penetrate deep into the plateau in a short period of time, then cultivate the power belonging to the imperial court on the plateau.

For example, those serfs who were oppressed by the living Buddha, the Dharma king, and the lama nobles are very good, and the huge group of serfs, as long as this force is liberated, all the national teachers and living Buddhas, and the Westerners, all have to get out of the Wusizang.

At that time, the imperial court will change the land and return to the stream, so that Wusizang will be completely transformed into a state capital, and the plateau will be officially included in the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.

It took Jia Cong almost half an hour to finish his thoughts, not to mention the emperor, even several scholars in the cabinet and the scholars of the six departments were stunned.

Can you still play like this?

But why do you always feel weird?

The emperor squeezed Jia Cong dry and threw it away to the extreme.

He looked at the furrowed ministers in the hall and asked what they thought.

It was He Yaomin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who took the lead in speaking: "Although Yongfengbo's idea made the old minister feel a little weird, the old minister thought that this method might work. ”

Although Uszang had not openly rebelled at this time, since the forty-ninth year of Zhaowu, their appetite has become more and more growing, and there have been unsubordinate actions from time to time. Instead of waiting, the court might as well strike first! ”

Jian Zifang, the secretary of the military department, often fights with the generals, but in essence, this person is also a main battle faction, a typical violent temper.

He took a step forward and solemnly admonished: "Your Majesty, it is true that Usizang is barren, but the importance of Usizang to the dynasty is also self-evident. With the plateau as a barrier, we can concentrate on dealing with the enemy in both the east and south directions. Using serfs as knives is the best way at the moment. ”

Lin Ruhai also suddenly opened his mouth and persuaded the emperor with just one word.

"This method saves money!"

……

On the second day, the "audience" of the capital not only failed to wait for the appeasement and reward of the imperial court, but was reprimanded by the emperor's edict brought by He Yaomin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

In his holy decree, the emperor directly rebuked Dali Ma Bara for being arrogant, and famously said that the imperial court's rectification of Buddhism was just, fair, and necessary.

The supreme leader of Great Xia is His Majesty the Great Emperor, and no matter what religion it is, he must abide by the laws of the imperial court.

Even if the gods and Buddhas descend to earth, they must act in accordance with the law under the rule of the Great Xia government, otherwise they will be punished by the Great Xia Decree.

The rare tough attitude of the imperial court this time shocked the accompanying Wusizang monks, and then they were angry one by one.

"National Teacher, the Central Plains Imperial Court dares to humiliate you like this, is it tolerable......

"Abbas, meditate!"

He was quite calm, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and suppressed the anger in his heart with the Buddha beads in his hand.

He knew that his letter would definitely offend the emperor and the officials of the imperial court, but he did not expect it to cause such a big reaction.

At the same time, he was also dissatisfied with the imperial court's abnormal attitude towards Usizang, which he had never done in the nearly thirty years since he presided over Usizang.

When did the imperial court dare to be so disrespectful to him, the teacher of the Wusi Tibetan country? The emperor is not afraid that he will take Wu Sizang to the Yi people?

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Abbas, when you go to the palace of King Yu, you will say that I have something to ask him to help ......."

……

Jia Cong arrived at the Yuwang Mansion in Yongfang with the crown prince Liu Hong, and came with him, as well as Cao Jiugong, the commander of the Dragon Guard.

Liu Xun, the king of Yu, personally waited for the prince to come in front of the gate of the palace, and when Jia Cong saw this legendary old patriarch of the royal family, he thought that it was a foreign master standing in front of him.

Bai Bai is chubby, and when he speaks, he smiles, and his big belly shows that this prince of the clan who is the same generation as the Emperor Taishang is a lord who loves to eat and has an excellent appetite.

Sure enough, after a few words of greeting, Liu Xun immediately invited Liu Hong and others into the mansion, saying that he had asked the chefs in the mansion to prepare a feast, all of which he thought were the most delicious dishes.

"Your Highness doesn't know, before I entered Beijing, I borrowed a night in the Asoka Temple outside the city, and met the Wusi Tibetan National Teacher. The smell of his body, as well as those so-called Uszang delicacies, almost made me unable to eat for three days. ”

As soon as Liu Xun thought of the experience of Asoka Temple, he felt a churning in his stomach, and he finally couldn't hold it down, so he complained again and again.

"It's also strange to say, he invited me with food, but he kept telling me about the destiny and dragon spirit...... I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid. Your Highness, something is wrong with this national teacher of Uszang......"

That's all for tonight, I'll go rest and rest, and continue tomorrow, good night!
