Chapter 14: Kumachi agrees to cooperate
Since Songtsen Gampo was supported by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, to establish the Tubo Dynasty, the city of Luo has been the capital of the Tubo Dynasty for hundreds of years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Although the Tubo Dynasty now exists in name only, the descendants of Songtsen Gampo still occupy the city of Luo, which once witnessed the glory of the Tubo Dynasty.
On the fifth day after the end of the war between the Longyou Army and the Western Xia, Yang Ming came alone to the capital of the Tubo Dynasty.
The purpose of Yang Ming coming to Luo Qi City was to meet a person, and that person was the Great Wheel Ming King of Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain.
Gu Mozhi swept the black religion in Tibet, shocked the west, and his skills and knowledge have reached a very high level, with great wisdom, proficient in Buddhism, every five years, open the altar to preach the scriptures.
Gu Mozhi's identity in Tibet is not only a protector of the country, but also a great virtuous monk regarded by many Tibetan tribes as spiritual beliefs.
The purpose of the Tubo lord to make Gu Ma Zhi a national teacher is also to use Gu Ma Zhi's huge influence among the Tubo tribes to make the Tubo tribes who are independent of each other re-support the central dynasty.
Buddhism was introduced to Tibet from Songtsen Gampo, but it was not the flourishing period of Buddhism at that time, in fact, Bon still dominated until the succession of Qili Sulong Huntan to the throne, and although Buddhism was spreading, it did not have the upper hand.
In the days of Qili Su's cage hunting praise, Buddhism was vigorously promoted out of the political need to eradicate the traditional aristocratic forces associated with Bon and strengthen the royal power.
With the advance of the Tubo army into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it successively occupied Longyou, Hexi, Beiting Zhudao and the city-states of the Western Regions, and a large number of Buddhists became their subjects, so they quickly elevated Buddhism to the lofty status of the state religion.
The development of Tibetan Buddhism reached the peak of its glory in the era of Keli Kezu.
Zampu issued an edict to establish a seven-household monk system, and monasteries were built everywhere in the country.
The Buddhist bowl took the place of the former Bon Sangmen, and began to intervene in politics in an all-round way, and even important conferences such as the Tang Fan League were presided over by him.
It is precisely because Buddhism has a huge influence in Tibet. Therefore, even the descendants of Songtsen Gampo who want to revive the Tibetan Dynasty must have the support of Buddhism.
If Yang Ming's Longyou Protectorate wanted to rule the Tibetan region, it needed even more support from Buddhism.
Otherwise, even if they forcibly ruled the Tibetan region by force, those Tibetan tribes would definitely rebel continuously.
If the Longyou Protectorate wants to develop and grow, it must obtain a peaceful and stable Tubo region.
If there is a constant rebellion in the Tibetan region. The military strength of the Longyou army will be consumed on suppressing the rebellion of the Tubo tribes, so that it is difficult to maintain the rule of the Longyou region, not to mention the expansion and development of the Longyou capital.
After following a group of ordinary people of the Tubo tribe into Luoqi City, Yang Ming soon came to the branch temple of Dalun Temple near the palace of Luoqi City.
As a virtuous monk admired by everyone in the Tibetan tribe, Gu Mozhi is naturally full of Buddhist words in front of ordinary believers.
However, in the branch temple of the Great Wheel Temple, which outsiders are not allowed to enter, Gu Mozhi left behind the Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist words, and concentrated on practicing the Taoist Xiaoyao School's [Xiao Wuxianggong].
As a Buddhist monk but practicing Taoist martial arts, I have to say that Gu Mozhi is really good martial arts. It's no wonder that he will end up losing all his martial arts.
In the vast courtyard of the branch temple of the Great Wheel Temple, in addition to the Kumachi who is concentrating on practicing [Xiao Wuxianggong], there is also a young man dressed as a monk who is practicing fist and foot kung fu.
Judging from the appearance of the young monk's punches and kicks, although he has the profound internal skills of a first-class master, his fists and feet are flashy, and he obviously hasn't experienced much actual combat.
When the two monks guarding the gate of the courtyard saw Yang Ming, an intruder, they immediately waved the wand in their hands and asked Yang Ming.
"Who are you? This is the cultivation place of the Great Wheel Ming King, get out of here quickly!"
"It's noisy!"
Yang Ming frowned. With a kick on his feet, he instantly rushed to the front of the two monks, and then hit the acupoints of the two monks with the index fingers of both hands at the same time.
The two monks were fixed by Yang Ming, and after the acupoint, they couldn't speak, and their bodies couldn't move. It's like two sculptures.
At this time, Gu Mozhi and the young monk also noticed Yang Ming, the intruder.
"Hey, who are you? This is not where you can come, get out of here with this king!"
The young monk raised his hand and pointed at Yang Ming, with an angry look on his face.
"Your Royal Highness, please be calm!"
Gu Mozhi folded his hands and saluted to the young monk, then turned to Yang Ming and said.
"Amitabha! Childe is really a distinguished guest. I don't know what the reason is it to come to our temple?"
"Why does the master knowingly ask, coming down here, of course, to repay the master's kindness a few days ago!"
After Yang Ming finished teasingly, he walked up to Gu Mozhi and looked at the young monk beside him.
"I heard that the master has a beloved disciple who is Prince Zongzan, the son of the lord of Tubo, could it be this?"
Before Gu Mozhi could speak, the young monk said with a proud face.
"Yes, this king is Prince Zongzan. The future lord of the Tibetan kingdom! I look like you are a Han Chinese, why don't you kneel down and salute when you see this king? Could it be that the Han people are like you who don't understand the rules?"
"Your Royal Highness, dare to shut up!"
Hearing that Prince Zongzan was talking more and more excessively, Gu Mozhi said with an ugly face.
"This Young Master Yang Ming is not an ordinary person!Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must not be too rude to him. β
Then, Gu Mozhi looked at Yang Ming again and said.
"Childe! Prince Zongzan is young and ignorant, please look at the thin face of the poor monk and don't worry about him!"
"It's easy to say! Since you beg me, master, then I'll spare his life!"
After Yang Ming finished sneering, he kicked his body sideways behind Prince Zongzan, and then stretched out his right hand to clasp Prince Zongzan's shoulder.
"Stopβ"
Gu Mozhi shouted angrily, his left hand sent out a [Flame Knife] sword qi towards Yang Ming's right hand, and his right hand performed the [Prajna Palm] of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple and slapped Yang Ming's shoulder.
Although Haruma Zhi's shot was like lightning, his reaction was a step slower after all.
After Yang Ming's right hand clasped Prince Zongzan's shoulder, he kicked and flew backwards with Prince Zongzan, dodging Gu Mozhi's [Flame Knife] sword qi and [Prajna Palm] by a fraction of a margin.
"Ahh......hh What are you going to do to this king? Hurry up and release this king, or I'll let you die without a place to bury!"
When Yang Ming landed with Prince Zongzan, Prince Zongzan immediately screamed in pain.
This Prince Zongzan is not only a man. And it is also the ignorant and fearless.
Gu Mozhi's martial arts are the first in Tubo, and Prince Zongzan's father is also the nominal lord of Tubo, so it is no wonder that he does not know the height of the sky and does not put others in his eyes.
"Prince Zongzan, right, don't worry, I promised Master Kumachi not to kill you, then I will definitely not kill you. β
Yang Ming's right hand clasped Prince Zongzan's shoulder. With his left hand, he slapped the [Mixed Yuan Palm] palm power on the back of Prince Zongzan, and the strong palm power immediately pierced Prince Zongzan's Qi Sea Dantian, making his painstaking skills go to waste.
When Yang Ming threw Prince Zongzan, who had lost his martial arts and became a waste, to the ground, Gu Mozhi stood in front of Yang Ming and said with an annoyed face.
"Young Master Yang Ming, what do you mean by this? No matter what you do, you can come at the poor monk, why do you want to abolish the martial arts of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"Please don't be impatient! I will abolish his martial arts, but I will punish him slightly! Next, it will be time for me to settle accounts with the master. β
Bang!
Yang Ming pulled out the crape myrtle soft sword on his waist.
Gu Mozhi's face immediately showed a solemn look, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Young Master Yang Ming! The little monk helped Western Xia a few days ago. It's just to repay the Empress Dowager of Xixia for her kindness to the little monk in the past, and now the little monk and the Empress Dowager of Xixia are already indebted to each other!"
Staring at the Ziwei soft sword vigilantly, Gu Mozhi said as he stepped back.
"The little monk and the son have no grievances in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, and we in Tubo have always been friendly with the Song Dynasty, is the son unwilling to turn the war with the little monk into a jade silk?"
If it was Qiao Feng Qiao Daxia, after hearing Gu Mozhi's words, even if he really had a deep grudge against Gu Mozhi, he would definitely find a way to resolve the grudge between the two.
It's a pity. Yang Ming has already lost his temperance, although he has not yet reached the point of unscrupulous means to achieve his goals. But it's pretty much the same.
"It seems that the master misunderstood me!"
Yang Ming stopped in front of Gu Mozhi and said with a smile.
"I don't really care about the master's help to Xixia a few days ago! But right now, I have a big matter that needs the master's help, and I ask the master not to refuse. β
"I don't know what Childe said about the big thing is ......"
"After the defeat of the Western Xia by the Longyou Army, I have already established the Longyou Protectorate with the support of General Li Xian and the Longyou Army to become the Great Protector! Please help me!"
After listening to Yang Ming's words, Gu Mozhi's eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Ming in disbelief.
"Childe's words...... Are you serious? Although our country in Tibet is small and the people are weak, it is also a country with hundreds of years of inheritance! Even the court of the Great Song Dynasty did not say that it would occupy our Tibet, and the ambition of the prince is too great!"
Yang Ming raised the Ziwei soft sword in front of him. Then he flicked his left index finger on the sword.
The sound of a sword echoed in the vast courtyard.
Yang Ming closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said.
"It seems that it is better for me to make my words clear! Master Kumazhi, I was not consulting you with what I asked just now! You can refuse to help me, and the consequence will be that you will die under my sword! If the master is willing to help me, you are still the Great Wheel King of Tibet, and I will give you a great merit. β
"Amitabha! Although the little monk is a monk, he will never betray the country to seek glory!"
"Since the master wants to sacrifice his life for righteousness, then I will fulfill you!"
After Yang Ming finished speaking, he opened his eyes, and rushed towards Gu Mozhi with a kick under his feet.
Gu Mozhi did not turn around and flee, but stood calmly in place, his hands constantly emitting [Flame Knife] sword qi and slashing towards Yang Ming.
The last time he fought with Gu Mozhi, because of the containment of Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing, Yang Ming couldn't use all his strength in front of Gu Mozhi.
At this time, fighting alone, Yang Ming wielded the Ziwei soft sword and emitted a purple-red sword qi to block the [Flame Knife] sword qi, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between him and Gu Mozhi was less than a zhang.
Seeing that Yang Ming had approached in front of him, Gu Mozhi's face finally showed an anxious look.
Just as Yang Ming stabbed the Ziwei soft sword at Gu Mozhi's neck, Gu Mozhi dodged sideways, and at the same time, his right hand swung out the [Donkey Kong Fist] of the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin Temple and hit Yang Ming's chest.
"Humph!"
Yang Ming snorted disdainfully, and the index finger of his left hand struck at Gu Mozhi's [Donkey Kong Fist] with the finger power of [Finger Snap Divine Power].
Bang!
After the finger force and the fist force collided, Gu Mozhi's face turned red, and then his body involuntarily took three steps back.
By the time Gu Mozhi stood firm, Yang Ming had already come to him and put the Ziwei soft sword on his neck.
Although Gu Mozhi is proficient in the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple, Yang Ming's skills are far above Gu Mozhi, no matter how subtle his martial arts moves are, Yang Ming can break through them with strength.
In the original work, when Gu Mozhi competed with Xuzhu, Gumo Zhi showed the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple, and Xuzhu only had one move back and forth [Black Tiger Heart] in [Luohan Boxing], and he relied on his skill to suppress and beat Gu Mozhi completely out of temper.
Looking at the body of the Ziwei soft sword attached to his neck, Gu Mozhi took a deep breath and closed his eyes and said.
"It's the little monk who loses! If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!"
"Is the master really willing to die at my hands?"
Yang Ming withdrew the Ziwei soft sword and said teasingly.
"I know that the master is obsessed with martial arts, and even steals the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin Temple! But the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin Temple are only seventy-two kinds of superior martial arts, so doesn't the master want to learn other more powerful martial arts? For example, the [Six-Vein Divine Sword] of the Dali Duan Clan, the [Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending] of the Beggar Gang, and the [Dou Zhuan Xing Shift] of Gusu Murong. β
After Yang Ming's words were finished, Gu Mozhi, who had been waiting for death with his eyes closed, opened his eyes again, and there was a burning gaze in his eyes.
"It seems that the master does not want to die in his heart! In fact, the Tubo Dynasty has long existed in name only, and the current Tubo is not a country at all! If the master can lead the Tibetan Buddhism to support the Longyou Protectorate in administering the Tubo region, I promise that he will govern the Tibetan people like the Han people, and will also abolish the slavery system in the Tubo region in the name of the master. β
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Tibet had just transitioned from a primitive society to a slave society.
Although the sons of the Li Tang royal family sent women, money, and food to Tubo, and helped Tubo establish a centralized Tubo Dynasty, it is a pity that the Tubo Dynasty did not seize the opportunity to transition from a slave society to a feudal society.
The backward social system has long been doomed to the decline of the Tubo Dynasty.
Therefore, after the decline of the Li Tang royal family, the Tubo Empire established by the Tubo Dynasty lasted less than fifty years before it declined to the point that even the small Nanzhao kingdom could not help it.
After traveling to the Song Kingdom, Western Xia, and Dali in his early years, and seeing the prosperity of the Central Plains, he naturally understood that the slavery system was the biggest reason why the Tubo Dynasty could not be revived.
If Yang Ming really abolished the slavery system in the Tubo region in the name of his Gu Mozhi, then his reputation in the Tubo region would definitely rise to a higher level, and maybe he would be worshiped as a living Buddha by those slaves who were freed.
Seeing Gu Mozhi's eyes flickering, obviously a little excited, Yang Ming continued.
"If the master is willing to help me, after the Tubo region is included in the management of the Longyou Protectorate, I will send 100,000 troops to attack Dali! β
After Yang Ming's words were finished, Gu Mozhi folded his hands and bowed his head and said.
"Amitabha! All things in the world, all beings are equal! The Han people are no different from the Tubo people, if Gongzi can bring a better life to the Tubo people, the little monk is willing to help Gongzi even if he is infamous. (To be continued.) )
