Li Wangzhu, who served as the marching Sima, used documentary words to record the famous "Nuqu Temple Shooting" later generations.

Since Li Wangzhu was a Tubo native, he was not very proficient in Chinese and was also a military general who was a guard, "Nuqu Temple Zhaopiao" lacked the modification and polish of literati, and it was completely original and recorded the historical details of Tang Daozu's monarch and ministers in Nuqu Temple and Basiba.

"Nuqu Temple Summoning Pair" is a very special article in the vast "Hongwu Political Essay". After later generations compiled it, it is believed that the historical materials of "Nuqu Temple Summoning Pair" are of great value and record many dialogues between Tang Daozu and Basiba, the most famous one is:

...

Emperor Daozu: "The master comes from Sakya, can the situation be stable?"

Basiba: "But please the Great Emperor Manjushri to be relieved. Everyone knows that the saints are here, and everyone will be happy."

Emperor Daozu: "Can you know the origin of Tubo?"

Basiba: "It is the Central Plains lineage, which is the ancestral origin of the Xia people who moved westward."

Emperor Daozu: "Good, sincerity is true."

Basiba: "The sage succeeded the throne of the Central Plains, and the Tang Dynasty restored the great rule of the world. Everyone in the world was relieved, and the little monk would like to congratulate him on behalf of Tubo."

Emperor Daozu: "In this way, I feel so comforted. Can the master know my intentions? Is there any division of education now?"

Basiba: "Listen to the sound of rain in spring, listen to the sound of insects in summer, listen to the sound of wind in autumn, and listen to the sound of snow in winter. It changes with the momentum and is easy to meet the times."

Emperor Daozu: "The master said witty words. However, changes will change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to become smaller?"

Basiba: "It is difficult to become big and big, it is difficult to become small and small, and it is not difficult to remain unchanged. It all depends on the heart of the saint."

Emperor Daozu: "I want to make great changes."

Basiba: "The great emperor should know that Tubo has its own Tubo law. If you want to make a big change, it may not be a good law and will hurt the kindness of the saint."

Emperor Daozu: "The people of Tubo are also innocent children, and were born to be a Tang people. I am the emperor and treat them equally. This is the way of heaven and man. Therefore, my heart has made up my mind and give up small benevolence and will never allow the Tubo people to be as if they are in the middle of their lives."

Basiba: "However, are the Tantric monks not saints and people? If the great changes in Tubo, the monks and the people are helpless and the people are confused, how can the Buddha be safe? I hope Your Majesty is careful."

Emperor Taozu: "Buddhism is like iron, the way of heaven is like a furnace. If the car is off track, the control will have mistakes. The faults of Tantric Buddhism, all kinds of misconduct, are actually contrary to Buddhism, far away from the Dharma, and are close to the devil's way. If you change, you can prosper, but if you don't change, you will perish. I use the Tao to rule the world, but the Buddha is uneasy, and it is not the Buddha."

Basiba: "The little monk is stupid and wants to hear what Your Majesty is."

Emperor Taozu: "The great way is the highest thought of God Haotian. It is the law of heaven and earth, the laws of all things, and the norm of the world. Therefore, the way of heaven is vast, seeking the way of Tao is nothing more than seeking the integration and convergence of heaven, earth, and man, gaining great freedom in the world, and becoming a great gentleman with Tao."

Basiba: "What Your Majesty said is that the great freedom in the world and the great gentleman with the Tao can be obtained by respecting God Haotian?"

Emperor Taozu: "No. Tao transforms thousands of ways, so everyone has their own way. The king has the way of the king, the minister has the way of the minister, the people have the way of the people, the martial arts have the way of the martial arts, the medicine has the way of the medicine, and the craftsman has the way of craftsmanship. Everyone follows the way, and they will be able to be great freedom, and they will be able to achieve the Taoist gentleman, and each will be perfect, and then the world will be governed and bright."

Basiba: "So, how can we make everyone in the world keep their own way? If we force it, isn't it the law? How can Buddhism move and darken and naturally moisten people's hearts?"

Emperor Daozu: "The master's question is great good. The Tang Dynasty's principles and teachings are to protect the way. If they do not respect the great way, they will lose their virtues and chastity. Those who lose their virtues and chastity will not only be able to be perfect in this life, but will not be able to achieve good results. Even after death, they will be punished by the Taishan Prefecture Lord and suffer. This cause and effect is the will of the heavenly way and cannot be changed."

Basiba: "It turns out that the way of heaven in the Tang Dynasty is compatible with the three schools of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism... The little monk's words are wrong, and it should be that the three religions of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism all originate from the way of heaven and are originally one of the ways of heaven."

Emperor Daozu: "The master is indeed extremely wise, that's it. I learned this principle with Laojun's inspiration. Then I combined the three religions into one, followed the will of Haotian, and became the orthodox religion in the world."

Basiba: "But the little monk is puzzled. I dare to ask Your Majesty that since the three religions are united, they will return to their original state. But why are the gods of the Heavenly Taoism, including Laojun, Yanhuang, Fuxi, Nuwa, Confucius and Mencius, Taishan Mansion, and Guan Yu, Yue Fei and Luban, but there is no Bodhisattva and Buddha Lord? Isn't this the way of heaven lacking? Or, the way of heaven is unfair?"

Emperor Taoist Ancestor: "Laojun is transformed into all directions. The Buddha Lord Bodhisattva is originally the incarnation of Laojun. The Eight Great Dharma Protectors are the incarnation of the Martial Saint. Therefore, Laozi is transformed into Buddha. He also said that Buddha is originally the Tao."

Basba: “………”

Emperor Daozu: "As the will of heaven is, I cannot change it. The revival of heaven has arrived, and this is a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years. Not only will the Tubo change, but the Central Plains change will also change."

Basiba: "Since Your Majesty is determined to promote the way of heaven, where will Tantric Buddhism go?"

Emperor Daozu: "Everyone knows that Buddha was originally in the West, but now he does not save Westerners. Isn't that a pity? It is precisely because the West lost the Dharma that the disaster was reborn. I am ready to use troops to the Western Regions, take down Hezhong and Persia, and restore Buddhism."

Basba: "Are all the lamas going?"

Emperor Daozu: "Everyone wants to go. The Western Regions are so large, with a large population. There are fewer lamas and they cannot stand. Persians alone need many masters to solve their confusion and educate them."

Basba: “………”

Emperor Daozu: "The master has to work hard to spread the Dharma. I have appointed the master as the King of Great Wheel, and the King of Golden Wheel, and the President of Western Buddhism. I presided over the great cause of Western Dharma transmission. This reappears the responsibility of the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions, so I ask the master."

Basba: “………”

…………

"Nuqu Temple Summoning" does not record Basiba's expression at that time, but it is obvious that Basiba was very embarrassed and helpless in the process.

However, Basipa obviously could not disobey the will of "Emperor Manjushri".

The day after Li Luo met Basiba, he issued an order to grant Basiba the title of King of Dalun, King of Jinlun, and President of Western Buddhism.

He is the same Duke of the same country and has a salary of one ration!

Then, Basiba issued a decree: Tubo returns to the Tang Dynasty!

From this moment on, at least in name, Tubo has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

On the seventh day of the eighth month, the Tang army arrived at Sakya Temple and entered Benboshan Camp. More than 100,000 Tubo troops obeyed the orders of Basiba and the military authority of the Tang army.

With the leadership of Basipa and others, more than 100,000 people bowed and shouted long live the emperor. Many of them were of course forced, but there was nothing they could do.

The situation is better than that of people.

Afterwards, Li Luo ordered the selection of 30,000 most elite Tubo soldiers and organized them into the Tang army. All the rest were disbanded.

This immediately led to the number of Tang army cavalrymen reaching 60,000!

As the Basiba returned to the Tang Dynasty's decree was spread to all directions, I don't know how many serfs were cheering and thundering.

Many serfs heard about it. The Dharma King said in person that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a saint, Manjushri Bodhisattva was alive, not only the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also Zanpu and the Khan of Heaven.

I don’t know how many noble families fled north and tried to escape into the controlled area of ​​the Yuan army.

After staying in Sakya for only three days, the Tang army headed north with the goal of passing through the Qiang and Tang grasslands to the south.

At this time, the cavalry of tens of thousands of yuan had already arrived two hundred miles north of the Yarlung Zangbo River. When he heard the news that Basiba rebelled against Yuan and returned to Tang, the commander of the Yuan army, Arte was shocked.

The Tubo army actually surrendered to the Tang Dynasty!

He only brought 50,000 people, plus the 5,000 that Han'er didn't spend, only 55,000 people. Without the assistance of more than 100,000 Tubo army, how can he deal with the Tang army that received the assistance of the Tubo army?

"Send the order, retreat!" Atai said with an ugly face, "General Han'er Buhua, what do you think?"

Although Han'er Buhua really wanted to go back to Sakya and kill Basipa, he was not stupid either.

"General Atai, I also think that I can only retreat now. The Tubo people have rebelled. We have few soldiers and many Tang soldiers. We cannot fight hard. We can only retreat to the Qiang and Tang grassland first."

But the general Yi Chasi was dissatisfied.

"Now, we rushed thousands of miles before we arrived here from Alimali. Why did we retreat again? Although there were many Tang troops, we had more than 50,000 cavalry, and we could fight this battle. If we defeated the Tang army and killed Li Luo, it would be a great contribution."

Atai rolled his eyes and pretended to be serious and said, "You have never fought with the Tang army, and I don't know how powerful the Tang army is. If I fight, I am afraid that you will be defeated if you go up, so it will be out of control."

Ichas stopped immediately after hearing this.

"Now, although we Bujue warriors and Uighur warriors are not as good as Mongolian warriors, we are also brave and good at fighting. If we talk about tens of thousands of cavalry, we are not afraid of the Tang army!"

"Okay, my brave and fearless Yichas." Atai said helplessly, "If you really dare to fight, I will leave this battle to you. See how you fight. Maybe it's hard to say that you can really defeat the Tang army."

"Okay!" Yichas took the order without hesitation, "Then I will lead the cavalry to attack! I can't do it. Tens of thousands of cavalry can't beat the Tang army with fewer cavalry and more infantry!"

Han'er Buhua sneered. Idiot! He dared to despise the Tang army so much without fighting with the Tang army? He really doesn't know how to live or die.

Besides, if the Tubo soldiers surrendered to the Tang army, the Tang army would have more cavalry, more than the Yuan army's cavalry.

More than 50,000 cavalrymen could not win at all. Not only could they not fight, but they also had to retreat quickly to prevent the Tang army from pursuing them.

However, Haner Buhua didn't even remind Yichasi of this bald man.

When he just led 5,000 cavalry to join Atai, Atai told him privately that the Tu Jue people were getting more and more courageous.

Ichas actually led his troops to destroy several Lama temples by Namcuo Lake without asking for military orders and killed hundreds of monks.

Afterwards, Ichath looked fearless.

What's wrong?

To be small is to be disloyal to the commander and to be respectful to the soldiers, to be big is to be disloyal to Dayuan.

Keeping such a person is a scourge.

Therefore, not only did Arte not object to Ichas's dispatch of troops, but Haner Buhua did not object to it.

If you want to die, you will die.

With you pestering the Tang army, ten thousand Mongolian cavalry retreated calmly.

As for Tubo, with Basiba's surrender to the Tang Dynasty, it would definitely not be able to be saved. For the sake of the present, the most important thing is to preserve the strength of the Mongolian cavalry.

Ichath also sneered in his heart.

Humph, you Mongols are getting worse and worse. Not only are they driven out of the Central Plains by the Han people, but they also lost Hexi and Hetao. If we weren't for our Tu Jue people and Uighurs and Persians, could you still gain a foothold in the west?

Now, tens of thousands of cavalrymen are fighting again, but they dare not fight a war with the Tang army.

It really insulted the reputation of the Mongolian cavalry.

If you don’t dare to fight, you will not be able to stand up and be more logical. If you can’t occupy more logic, how can I destroy the Potala Palace?

No jealous. One of the important reasons why Ichas was keen on fighting in Tubo was to destroy the Potala Palace, which was called the Tantric Holy Land.

Even if he was severely punished for this afterwards, he would uphold God's will and destroy the holy land of pagans.

This is his supreme glory. Heicharth is not afraid of death. Because his soul will be reborn.

OK. If you don’t dare to fight, I, Ichath, dare. I want to see what kind of ability the Han people, mainly infantry, can have? Apart from relying on firearms, they can rely on what else they can rely on.

Yichasi always believed that the Tang army was just relying on firearms. When it comes to cavalry and hand-to-hand combat, they were no match for the warriors in the Western Regions at all.

As long as Tang's arms are not given the opportunity to show off his power, this battle will be completely advantageous.

"The two Yans are waiting for me, Ichas, to meet the Tang army in person. If the warriors of the Yuan Dynasty retreat without fighting, it would be too unreasonable. Da Khan would not be satisfied." Yichas said carelessly.

Since he burned the temple to kill monks without authorization and was not dealt with by military orders, generals such as Ichasi have become more and more bold and have begun to ignore Ate, who is the head coach.

"Okay, my brave Ichars, you are the warrior of Dayuan! We are waiting for you to return in triumph! Remember, fight if you can, and don't force yourself if you can't win." Ate said.

Arte awarded Ichath an arrow to Ichath, “General Ichath, we are waiting for your good news.”

Ichath sneered. It was just right that you dare not go south. I was just right to go out of my way to do big things. He took the order and hurriedly came out of the tent to gather Tu Jue and Uighur soldiers.

In a moment, the cavalry of the 45,000 yuan army rumbling out of the camp and drove straight to the Yarlung Zangbo River.

As soon as Ichas led his army, Ate ordered the retreat northward.

"Can't wait." Atai said, "Li Luo got a large number of war horses from the Tubo army and must have also recruited a lot of Tubo cavalry. He should have gone north."

Han'er Buhua nodded, "Let's set off to return to the Western Regions immediately."

With the order, ten thousand Mongolian cavalry immediately set off the camp. Just as they pulled out the camp, a probe came to report the news:

"Now, the Tang cavalry has caught up with him and has already fought with Yichasi, only a few dozen miles away from here."

It's coming so fast!

"Take it again!"

"twitter!"

Atai and others were a little worried. The strength of the Tang army's cavalry was far stronger than that of ordinary cavalry. If one man and three horses caught up, the Mongolian soldiers might not be able to escape.

The next day, Atai received the war report from the south.

More than 40,000 cavalrymen of Yichasi fought with the Tang cavalry. When the Tang cavalry met, they used their hand guns and axes to make Yichasi suffer a great loss of blood.

The Tang cavalry took advantage of the situation and rushed to fight, very fiercely. Although Yichas led his troops to fight fiercely, he still fell into a disadvantage and fell into a passive state.

While the battle between Ichas was hard, the Tubo cavalry who surrendered to Tang also took the opportunity to launch an attack.

As a result, Ichas was defeated, and tens of thousands of people were defeated.

Tanma said that the life and death of generals such as Ichas were uncertain, but in short, they were defeated miserably and thoroughly.

In this battle, the Tang armaments and weapons did not even participate in the war, nor did they use artillery.

Another point is that after the Tang army defeated Yichasi, they had already caught up. The main force of the pursuit was the Tubo cavalry.

Atai and others listened to the battle report silently, and they all shook their heads together.

"Let's go, the Tang army is right behind. We must bring 10,000 Mongolian warriors back to Tubo!" Atai had no intention of delaying at all.

Ten thousand Mongolian cavalry could only return north again to the way they came. This caused great setbacks in their morale.

What's even more terrible is that since they came and returned, the horses lost weight for thousands of miles and had no time to recover their horsepower.

The Tang army's war horses were replaced by the Tubo army's fresh horses, which were faster.

On the fifth day, the 30,000 Tang cavalry finally caught up with the Mongolian cavalry in the north of the Qiang and Tang grasslands with the help of stronger horsepower.

After a battle, the exhausted Mongolian cavalry were defeated, with more than 5,000 casualties and thousands of captured. Only Atai, Hanerbuhua and others escaped from Tubo by chance.

The Tang army completely controlled the Qiang and Tang grasslands.

At the same time, Tang Lord Li Luo was coming to the majestic Potala Palace.

Under the blue sky and white jade, above the towering mountains, the huge mountain palace with overlapping temples is Potala.

The moment Li Luo saw the familiar Potala Palace, he was a little dazed in an instant, as if the gate of time and space suddenly opened, and he appeared in front of the Potala Palace in later generations.

This is the building that Li Luo was most familiar with after coming to ancient times. Although the Potala Palace in later generations was rebuilt and expanded, which is different from this time, the similarity is still too high.

Only this little change in the Potala Palace made him feel a little bit of the feeling of future generations.

Lord Tang retracted his thoughts and turned to see that the square was not the tourists from all over the world, but the Tang army soldiers wearing strong and holding sharp edges.

At the gate of the palace, there were not the calm and leisurely lamas in red, but the monks in flower clothes crawling on the ground and respectfully welcomed the "Emperor Manjushri".

"Please enter the palace and advance to the palace." Basiba invited Li Luo to enter the Potala Palace.

This means that the Emperor of Tang will be respected as the lord of Tubo.

Before the Tang army entered the general trend of logic, what could the monks do besides obeying the will of heaven?

No one can disobey the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The first thing Li Luo did after entering the Potala Palace was to control the "Zulakang" (Joyaka Temple and Xiaozhao Temple, which were not called Xiaozhao Temple at that time). At the same time, he secretly ordered the spies to move away all the statues of Princess Zhongchizun of Zulakang (Joyaka Temple).

Because, there can only be Princess Wencheng beside Songtsen Gampo.

However, Li Luo was a little surprised by the spy's reward.

The spies said that beside the statue of Songtsen Gampo, there was only the statue of Princess Wencheng, and there was no statue of Princess Jizun.

Li Luo immediately understood that the teacher's guess was correct.

The teacher once said that the so-called Princess Chi Zun is simply fictional. There should be no such person in history, and Songtsen Gampo does not have a wife named Princess Chi Zun.

The teacher also said that there was only one female statue next to the statue of Songtsen Gumbu in Jokhang Temple, that was Princess Wencheng.

But hundreds of years later, the more Tubo monks looked at it, the more they felt that it was wrong. Because Songtsen Gampo had only one Princess Wencheng next to him and two statues, it looked parallel, one left and one right, without highlighting Zamp's status.

This hurt the self-esteem of the Tubo rulers at that time.

So they made another statue and placed it on the other side of Songtsen Gampo.

Therefore, the two statues that were originally arranged side by side on the left and right became three statues. Songtsen Gampo was in the middle, immediately highlighting the status of Tubo Zampo, suppressing the Tang Dynasty at that time, and also highlighting the later status of Tubo local areas relative to the central dynasty.

A small statue can have this political effect.

At that time, Li Luo felt that the teacher's speculation was a bit mysterious, and he himself didn't believe it.

But now it seems that the teacher is right.

"It's really just two statues?" Li Luo asked again.

The spy said: "Your Majesty, there are indeed two statues. Whether in the Dharma King Hall or other halls, there are two statues of Princess and Songtsen Gampo. It seems that the princess and Songtsen Gampo are equally important."

Li Luo nodded: "That's because I remembered it wrong. Well, go down."

When the spy retreated, Li Luo couldn't help but smile.

A teacher is a teacher, and it is always right.

Well, it seems that the several statues of the Celestial Princess in later generations should have been forged later. It is likely that they were forged in the Ming Dynasty, and it is unlikely that they were the Qing Dynasty.

Because the Qing Dynasty had already strictly managed Tubo, this kind of fraud would never be allowed. That was an offense to the Qing Dynasty central government. Even Kangxi and Qianlong would only hope that Songtsen Gampo had only one Princess Wencheng around.

Because Princess Wencheng represented not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the majesty of the central government. The Qing court, which was concerned about face, would certainly not tolerate fraud.

As for the Ming Dynasty, it had nominal rule over Tubo, but its control was very weak. It was not up to the point whether they were fake or not.

In order to cover up the truth, they fabricated some myths, but in the end they revealed flaws. The real answer was found by a powerful figure like the teacher.

Haha, it seems that history is really weird.

On the fifth day after the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty entered the Potala Palace, the Tang army defeated the Yuan army and captured the Yuan army's general Yichasi, and the Tubo people were even more in awe of the Tang army.

Soon, the Tang army learned from the prisoners what Izasi and others did in the Shaoshu Temple in Namtso Lake.

After much publicity, everyone in the entire city of Luoshen knew what the Yuan army did in Namcuo Lake.

Especially the monks, they were even more angry.

In order to appease the Tubo people and for the hearts of the people of Tubo, the Tang Lord ordered the captured Yuan army generals such as Izasi to be handed over to the Tantric monks to deal with it.

As for how the monks deal with it, it is unknown.
