Chapter 617: Tuning the Tiger (7)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The imperial court issued decrees one after another, none of which were directly aimed at Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, but each one was weakening his power and making it difficult for him to sleep and eat well.

In the east hall of the Potala White House in Maburi Mountain, the atmosphere is gloomy and solemn and depressing.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso conspired with Sai Qingqujie, Sangpo Caiwang and several other confidants. Now, he has fewer confidants. Chen Gyatso and Lobsang Tudao died in the battle; Lobsang Jinba led 10,000 Lhasas

The old army was forced to move to Shigatse; most of the civil and military officials loyal to him were purged by Hu Zhigong with the help of Norbu. Now in Lhasa, he only has a few confidants such as Sai Qingqujie and hundreds of guards left.
"Hey! Good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, this snowy land has changed!"

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso let out a long sigh. These days, bad news comes one after another, and his sighs become longer and longer.

"Master, don't worry, as long as you are still in Maburi Mountain, the snowy land will not change the sky." Sai Qingqujie comforted him.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso didn't say anything, he held the Buddha beads in his hand and fell into concentration.

"Reporting to Master, the Ming army captured the Zhongmaiba family's village in the name of resisting taxes, and Asu Zongben (Xueyu's official name) was killed." Sangpo Caiwang, who was on duty outside the palace, ran in in a panic.

Sangpo Caiwang was born in the aristocratic Sangpo family. Like the Zhongmaiba family, he was also a die-hard loyalist to Ngawang Losang Gyatso.

"What! The Ming army killed Asu?"

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso suddenly opened his eyes wide and woke up from his trance. He asked: "Where are Asu's wife and children?"

"The Zhongmaiba family's village was burned to the ground, and Mrs. Buchijiamao and Shaojieben Sangjie Gyatso (the great chieftain in the snowy area called Jieben) did not know whether they were alive or dead."

Sangpo Caiwang was Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso's confidant, so he naturally knew what the master was worried about, and immediately told the situation of Mrs. Buchijiamao and Sangjie Gyatso: they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Gurus also have feelings, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, Buchi Gyatso, Sangjie Gyatso, the stories that have to be told:

As the supreme guru of the snowy region, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso's rule is based on the well-established aristocratic families. Among these families, the Chungmaiba family is the most loyal. Chungmaiba Chenye Gyatso was his father when he was young.

His playmate; Zhongmaiba Asu was his loyal dog. Therefore, he appointed Chen Gyatso as Diba who was inferior to one person and above ten thousand people; he appointed Asu as his ancestral base.

That year, at the invitation of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, he went to Beijing to preach. He passed through the territory of the Zhongmaiba family and stayed for many days. According to folklore, he and Asu's wife, Buchijiamao, Zhongmaiba's housewife,

There was an unclear relationship. The next year after he spent the night at Zhongmaiba's house, Buchijiamao gave birth to Zhongmaiba Sangjie Gyatso.

Whether this matter is true or not, only the person involved knows. However, historically, Master Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso was really very kind to Sangye Gyatso. He carefully cultivated and cared for Sangye Gyatso. He went through all the trouble in order to support Sangye Gyatso as Diba.

Thoughts were put into it, and all means were used. In the biography of this master, the literati in the snowy region wrote very cryptically: "The incarnation of the holy body left a pearl on the hair of Zhongmaiba."
In short, this master had special feelings for Zhongmaiba’s mistress Buchijiamao and Zhongmaiba’s young master Sangjie Gyatso. Hearing that the Ming army burned the Zhongmaiba family’s village, Buchijiamao and Sangjie Gyatso

Gyatso’s life and death are unknown, so why not be anxious?

"Poof!"

Ngawang Losang Gyatso spit out a mouthful of blood and his face turned strangely red.

He actually secretly supported or instigated the big nobles' armed resistance to tax this time. It was precisely because of his instigation that Zhong Maiba and other big nobles dared to stick together and gather troops to fight against the Ming army.
p>

I originally wanted to use this tax protest turmoil to create some trouble for Hu Zhigong, disturb the Huang court's reforms in the Snow Region, and maintain his rule in the Snow Region. Unexpectedly, my cleverness was mistaken for my cleverness, and I shot myself in the foot. Ming

The fighting power of the army was extremely strong, and they suppressed the uprising of the nobles in a few strokes. In the name of suppressing the rebellion, Hu Zhigong took the opportunity to uproot more than a dozen noble families that had always been loyal to him, further shaking the foundation of his rule.
"Master!"

Seeing him vomiting blood, Sai Qingqujie, Sangpo Caiwang and others were shocked.

"It doesn't matter." Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso took a breath and shouted angrily: "The decree passed down to me ordered all the Jiebu (big chieftains), Ben (little chieftains), Dongben (thousand households), Jiaben (

Hundreds of households), gathered young men and strong men to meet in Lhasa. I want to fight the Ming army to the death."

A hundred-footed insect is dead but not stiff. Let alone a great monk who has ruled the snowy land for many years! Even though Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso has been repeatedly attacked and his power has declined greatly. After the old Tibetan army in Lhasa was transferred to Shigatse, it seems that only the

Hundreds of guards. In fact, this person has been teaching the Dharma in the Snowy Land for many years and has countless followers. If he really fights for his life, his hidden strength is amazing.

"No, Master, now that the Ming army is strong and General Lobsang Jinba has been transferred to Shigatse, the chance of success in starting an uprising now is extremely low!"

"Yes, Master, please suspend your thunderous rage and make peace with the Ming army first. When the time comes, you can fight to the death with the Ming army."

Sai Qingqujie, Sangpocai is prosperous among his confidants, and he tries hard to persuade him.

After a long time, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso regained his composure, regained concentration, and said in a lazy and feeble voice: "Please step back, I have to practice."

Everyone left, and Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso continued to look like he was in trance, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He thought of the women and children of Zhongmaiba's family, and his heart was as sharp as a knife.

It stands to reason that a monk should be free from all four elements and cut off all ties with the world. But a monk is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires. Even if everything is a stinker, there are always some stinkers that cannot be let go. Alas! How can he not be sad?

??

The special envoy of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Guan Siqiu, Secretary of the Imperial Academy, came to the Snowy Land.

He came to the Snowy Land to deliver an edict to Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso. This great monk had such high prestige in the Snowy Land and even within Outer Mongolia that he responded to every call. His Majesty Emperor Guangwu was worried about him and wanted to trick him into taking control of the capital.

When he got up, he issued an imperial edict asking him to come to Nanjing to promote Buddhism. This was called a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Guan Siqiu was the person who guarded Zhizhen at the Shofu Pass. Guan Shoufu made some arrangements and asked him to come to the snowy region to deliver the edict. In addition to completing the task of conveying the edict, he also had a secret order: collect dirty information about the Qinghai-Tibet Governor Hu Zhigong and look for opportunities to report it.

Remove it from the Holy Spirit.

Governor Hu is Sun Jinding's man. Guan Shoufu finally squeezed Sun Cifu out of the center, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue him and not give Sun's party a chance to breathe.

It’s not that Guan Shouzhen is cruel, but political disputes are inherently virtuous. If you don’t eradicate your political opponents, if he regains power one day, he will eradicate you.

Guan Siqiu came to Ganzi City and met Tang Zhen, the governor of Duogan.

Tang Zhen is Guan Shouzhen's confidant and belongs to the same camp as Guan Siqiu.

"Yezhong, why are you here? I miss you so much." When Tang Zhen saw Guan Siqiu, she was extremely affectionate.

Guan Siqiu was also very happy. He and Tang Zhen both liked astronomy and had a great relationship. "Zhu Wan, Brother Yu misses you too! To be honest, when I came to the snowy land to deliver the edict, the chief minister warned me in every possible way: I must look for Hu Zhigong's stolen goods."

The evidence of the crime of violating the law must be eliminated. I hope my dear brother can help me."

Tang Zhen frowned. She spent the past few days with Hu Zhigong and felt deeply that this man was extremely intelligent and loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He was truly a loyal man to the country. If it hadn't been for this man's dedicated efforts, Duogan and Uszang provinces would never have been recovered.

So fast and smooth!

Do you want to frame the loyal ministers of the country just for the sake of your own selfish interests in fighting for the party? No, never!

He stared at Guan Siqiu and asked: "Yezhong, which one is more important, state affairs or private hatred?"

Guan Siqiu said seriously: "Of course, state affairs are the most important thing!"

The scholar-bureaucrats of this era still had character and were unambiguous when it came to the national justice. Historically, Guan Siqiu worked hard to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he did not want to serve in the Qing Dynasty and lived in seclusion in the mountains as a monk.

"Okay! This is the Ye Zhong I know!"

Tang Zhenjie praised him, and then told the story of how Hu Zhigong worked hard to seize Duogan and Uzang provinces for the Ming Dynasty.

"Yezhong, this is the Gancheng of Hu Zhigongshi's country, and the court is loyal. If we kill him because of party disputes, wouldn't it be painful for his relatives and happy for his enemies? Besides, now is the critical period for the Conqueror to conquer the Snowy Territory. How can we destroy the Great Wall ourselves?

Harm the country and harm the people?"

After hearing what Tang Zhen said, Guan Siqiu fell into deep thought.

He is a man who attaches great importance to emotion and justice, and has always been full of passion. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Zhu Wanmeng puts state affairs above personal hatred, and I can do it. But before I came, the chief minister told me many times, what should we do?

None, it’s hard to explain to the chief assistant. Let’s look for Hu Zhigong’s few minor mistakes and read his book randomly.”
