Section 13 Zamp
"Your Majesty, Tubo Zan Prangdama is ruthless and courageous, and the old slave is only afraid of elbows and armpits, not to mention that Victoria has been lost for nearly a hundred years, and now the local people are all untrustworthy Fanhu, even if it is recovered, it may not change the situation in western Sichuan. ”
Cheng Qili means against.
Han Gang also deeply believed that the Tibetan Tsangpur Dama was not a yellow-mouthed son like the Uighur Khan Guangsheng, but a real hero.
Since Buddhism was introduced to Tibet from Dayu, it has gradually suppressed the local primitive beliefs and become the mainstream of Tibetan beliefs. and gave rise to a large class of monks, as well as a large number of monasteries.
These monks not only gained a high political status because of the beliefs of the Tibetan people, but also produced a huge monastic industry along with the worship of nobles and commoners.
For Tibet, which is located above the high courtyard, every pasture and barley field is extremely valuable. The more the monks ate, the less the nobles ate.
With the spread of Buddhism and the construction of monasteries, the nobility clearly felt the pressure from the monk class.
During the reign of Langdarma's brother Yi Tai Tsangpu, he implemented a policy called "Seven Households to Support Monks", that is, seven families had to support a monk, and these seven families were the subjects of the monk, and all the land, livestock, and property of the seven families belonged to the monks.
As a result of this policy, the noble-controlled lords became monks, and those who did not become monks were forced to worship the monks, and the monks were only accountable to Zampu, completely ignoring the nobles who had been their lords.
In fact, if you look closely, this is a centralized reform carried out by Yitai Zanpu in the name of raising monks in the name of seven households under the cloak of Buddhism. Transferred the people from the nobles to the monks, who then put on a sacred cloak to rule over the people.
The conflict between the monks and the nobility was almost irreconcilable, and this pressure eventually erupted after Yi Tai's death.
Yi Tai reigned for nearly 30 years, and after his death, his younger brother Langdarma succeeded to the throne of Zampu, who succeeded to the throne and led the Tibetan nobles to do a great thing.
Destroy the Buddha.
All Buddhist scriptures were burned, Buddhist monks were either slaughtered or fled to Tianzhu, Buddha statues were thrown into rivers, monasteries were turned into cattle and sheep pens, and murals depicting Buddhist scriptures were changed to Buddhist monks oppressing the good people.
The Tibetan trend of worshipping Tantra that had begun to form since the Taizu of the Yu Dynasty came to an abrupt end, and Langdarma led the Tibetan nobles to redefine the path of faith for all the people with swords.
Because of this behavior, his original name Dharma was added by Buddhists to Lang, which means ox, and Buddhists regarded him as a bull demon who corrupted the Dharma, and Langdarma gladly accepted it.
If you don't worship gods and Buddhas, you are willing to be a bull demon.
Such a Zampu is Han Gang, and he also has to praise the hero.
In order to deal with Langdarma now that Victoria is under-armed in the imperial court, Han Gang feels that the emperor is too impatient.
It would not be too late to wait until the Uighurs had been dealt with by the Yufu Kingdom to deal with the Tibetans.
Weichen also thought it was impossible. "Han Gang is old-fashioned, and it is not a matter of urgency for the Victorian guards of Tibet to be attached.
The system of Tibet was originally different from that of Dayu, and Zampu was supreme, leading his headquarters to live in the city of Luo, and there were many nobles under him, who led their subordinates according to their tribes.
The Victorian Warden Sidney is the head of the tribe there, and there is no possibility of replacement unless there is an accident.
Han Gang knew very well whether this conspiracy was a solid subordination or had other plans, and Li Jifu's one-sided words may not be credible, if he had other plans, Li Jifu hastily recovered Victoria in order to make meritorious contributions, and I am afraid that it would cause even greater chaos.
To put it bluntly, although the taste of recovering Victoria is sweet, the current imperial court does not have the ability to swallow him in one gulp.
The leader of the civilian officials and the leader of the forbidden army, Wen Yiwu, both expressed their opposition, which made Li Xu's pressure increase sharply.
Bypassing Han Gang and Cheng Qili to push Li Jifu to recover Victoria, he can do this. The so-called "will not be subject to the king's order outside", the king's order can still be disobeyed, not to mention the opinions of Han Gang and Cheng Qili.
Although there are all kinds of drawbacks in this system, Li Jifu really wants to force this matter, and Han Gang and Cheng Qili have no other way but to find a way to transfer troops and horses to understand the trouble caused by Li Jifu.
But in this way, the good atmosphere formed by the Zhongshu Province, the Privy Council, and the Qingliang Hall since the collapse of the Wen Party will be destroyed, which is also what he does not want to see.
Therefore, Li Xu must continue to persuade Han Gang and Cheng Qili to accept his idea.
And he came prepared.
Since ancient times, there is no risk to win the world. Han Gaozu and Xiang Yu fought for the world, at the Hongmen banquet, under the city of Xingyang, there was a sinister situation everywhere before the chasm, and the only way to fight was to fight.
The battle of Kunyang of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, thousands of people were trapped in the lonely city, outside the city was Wang Mang's army of more than 400,000 people, the situation was so dangerous that it could not be increased, Emperor Guangwu rode out of the city alone to attract soldiers and horses to fight back, and finally the stars fell, and the male soldiers in Guanzhong were killed so that there was the revival of the Han Dynasty.
As for the battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake, Zhu Di's rebellion in Fengtianjing, and even Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there are times when the situation is dangerous or it is necessary to take risks.
In the past, it was Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu, and if it couldn't pass, it was a stone defeat, that is, it was killed by the landlord's armed forces in Jiugong Mountain, and it was shot in the chest by someone during the reconnaissance, and it became the "Kou" in the history books.
The current situation of the Yu Dynasty, if it is to be stable and proper, it is a situation of chronic suicide, and the only way to do it is to be a pastemaker, repair this dilapidated house, and live one day at a time.
If you want to ZTE and improve the current situation, Li Xu knows that he can only fight hard.
After Victoria, there is Sichuan Shu, Hexi Longyou, and Tubo, and this step must go out.
"The system of Tibet, the head of which is called Zampu, is located in some cities, and there are thousands of households under it, which are led by the heads of the nobles. ”
During the three years that the Queen Mother was in power, Li Xu was trapped in the Qingliang Palace, and had nothing to do except study.
You can read books, and you can read the legends written by people at the time, and you can also read those classics when you enter the Hongwen Museum.
What Li Xu reads is the records of foreign enemies such as the Turks, Uighurs, Tibetans, and Bohai, the historical history since the Qin and Han dynasties, and the lives of other emperors of the Yu Dynasty.
Therefore, compared with Han Gang and Cheng Qili, Li Xu knew better that Tubo was not an invincible foreign enemy, and the reason why he was able to become the opponent of the Yu Dynasty, annex the land of Longyou in Hexi, and even encompass the entire Western Regions to compete with the Turks.
It's not because Tubo is too strong, but because Dayu is chaotic and weak.
In the rebellion of Kwantung, the world collapsed, and the Yu Dynasty could only barely support it, and it was still difficult to keep the eastern capital Luoyang from the hands of the traitors, so how could it protect Hexi and Longyou from the mouth of the hungry wolf?
"The Tibetan system, except for Zampu, each has a strong clan to divide a place, known as the festival envoy, the upper and lower hierarchies are strict, and each has gold, silver, jade and bronze as a farewell. ”
Li Xu continued: "Since the founding of the country, there have often been foreign relatives interfering in politics, powerful ministers disrupting the country, large and small nobles are unruly, and the past dynasties Zampu can only pretend to be in the name of the gods, a small oath a year, a big oath in three years, so as to restrain the nobles. ”
Less than 200 years after the founding of the Tibetan state, their grass platform team went through all the problems faced by the Central Plains, and even tasted the European one.
From the beginning of the power of the ministers to the relatives to interfere in the government, and then to the moderation of the power, the aristocracy is difficult to govern, and the Tubo Zampu is also considered to be full of disasters and difficulties.
When Yi Tai came to power, he had to introduce religious forces to suppress the aristocracy, and finally suffered a backlash in the current Langdarma period.
Yi Tai's road is not going to work, and Langdarma may not be a hero.
As a relatively backward nation, Buddhism, which was concocted by Tianzhu, the Western Regions and the Central Plains, was too lethal to the Tubo people, especially after the Yitai era.
With the strength of Confucianism and Taoism in the Central Plains, the result of the previous emperors' attempts to destroy Buddhism was also the increasing prosperity of Buddhism. How can the distorted ancient beliefs of gods and ghosts on the plateau compare with the new varieties of tantra developed by the Tianzhu people under the Brahmanical ideology?
After Langdarma's wrist was the Achilles heel of Tibet.
Buddha.
