Chapter 203 Thanks to the enemy for sending strong reinforcements!
"Master Jiumo!"
When Kumarajiva, dressed in civilian clothes and wearing mango shoes, came to the house in high spirits, he was greeted by Zan Siruo, and his eyes lit up.
Dalun Temple is located on the bank of Jiqu River outside the royal city. It was a temple built by Songtsen Gampo when he vigorously promoted Buddhism.
Although he has not existed for a long time, the first presiding officer absorbed the Buddhist teachings from Tianzhu and China, created Mingwang Jin, and achieved extremely high cultivation.
The two subsequent abbots were both revered as King Ming, and Dalun Temple had a vague prestige as the leader of emerging Buddhism in Tubo.
And Kumarajiva became the Little Ming King at a young age, so he was the perfect candidate to be the next host. As a big talker, Zan Xiruo also gave him enough face to welcome him personally.
After the three of them met, Zan Xiruo was the first to speak: "I have long admired the name of the master, and I have great respect for the monks in your monastery who usually offer meals, save people, and practice medicine."
Kumara said: "Recently, a large number of refugees have gathered in the royal city. The poor monks are practicing medicine in the city, but they can only do their best and cannot help many people. I hope that the Gar Dharma can properly resettle the refugees."
Zan Xiruo nodded: "I'm sure, the master's merits are immeasurable, and I admire him!"
Kumara heard his perfunctory tone and clasped his hands together.
Zan Xiruo noticed it and took the opportunity to smile bitterly and said: "Master, please don't think that the truth is deliberately evasive. The capital city is in troubled times now... Sigh!"
He let out a long sigh, and Brenzan said: "Master, do you know that the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to our country?"
Kumarajiva shook his head: "I don't know."
Zan Xiruo was surprised and actually admired him: "Master is dedicated to saving and treating the refugees, but he doesn't even know about it. However, the people of the Tang Dynasty have evil plans and want to create civil strife and disrupt our country. If they succeed, the number of refugees will probably be even greater."
If it were ten times more, it would be a disaster for all living beings!"
Kumarajiva looked solemn: "I would like to hear the details!"
Zan Xiruo sighed and said in a sad tone: "As soon as the Tang Dynasty envoys entered the royal city, I took them into my house and accommodated them. I entertained them wholeheartedly without any neglect, but they were still not satisfied. They knew that the king was ill for a long time.
Or through the princess, I am slandering the king and trying to establish official positions for the Tang people in our country... Alas!"
Brenzan took over: "That was completely nonsense, just to disrupt the foundation of our country. The king was deceived by them at first, but later he woke up, but when they saw what happened was exposed, they actually assassinated the king!"
Kumara's expression changed: "Zanpu was assassinated?"
Brenzan nodded heavily: "The assassination of the king was instigated by Li Yuanfang, the deputy envoy of the envoy. Master, remember that person. When the Nianzheng envoy was killed in Liangzhou Post House, he was the one who acted arrogantly and hindered us from tracing the murderer.
!”
Kumarajiva was startled, then nodded and said: "Of course the poor monk remembers him. What do you mean, is Li Yuanfang plotting to kill Zanpu?"
Zan Xiruo said: "The king was blessed by God, but they did not succeed. However, the people of the Tang Dynasty were cunning and colluded with the princess, using both soft and hard tactics to confuse the king. Now they are living openly in the palace, as if they are giving orders on the king's behalf!"
Kumarajiva thought for a moment, and his face returned to calmness: "The poor monk is a monk from outside the country, and it is difficult to take care of the affairs of the court. I don't know what the instructions of the poor monk were when the great sermon of Gar was called?"
Zan Xiruo said very politely: "I don't dare to obey the orders. When high-ranking officials in the royal city are sick, they often ask eminent monks from your temple to come and treat them. In the past, when the king was seriously ill, it was King Ming who took action. The king is still drinking the soup..."
Kumarajiva nodded: "It is indeed the master who came into the palace to treat Zanpu."
Zan Xiruo said: "Then I hope that King Xiao Ming will also lend a helping hand to me this time. Taking advantage of the opportunity of seeing a doctor for the king, we can capture Li Yuanfang, eradicate the Tang envoys, and restore peace to our country!"
Kumarajiva did not hesitate: "Amitabha, it is related to Zanpu's safety, and it also involves Li Yuanfang, I am willing to go!"
Zan Xiruo stood up and saluted: "Thank you so much, Master, for your help. Can your temple have some strong martial arts monks to help?"
Kumarajiva nodded and said, "The poor monk returned to the temple and asked the master for instructions."
Watching Kumara leave, Zanshiruo smiled, but Brunzanren was a little worried: "Brother, this matter is dangerous, do we really want Dalunji to be involved?"
Zan Xiruo smiled and said: "Because this matter is dangerous, it is best to let Buddhists participate. They have made meritorious deeds, so don't be stingy with rewards. If there is damage, don't feel bad. Our family believes in Yongzhong Sect!"
Yongzhong believers, also known as Bon believers, are the earliest religion to appear in Tibet.
It has a profound influence on Tibet. The name of Zanpu comes from this sect. All successive Zanpu must believe that divine power is superior to imperial power.
Of course, Tibet had no imperial power before and was just a large tribe. When Songtsen Gampo founded the plateau empire, the Yongzhong religion became an eyesore, so they vigorously introduced Buddhism and let the two religions fight.
However, the conflict was so intense that it burned him to death. One theory is that Songtsen Gampo was assassinated by Yongzhong followers.
As the people in power, the Gar family is well aware of the confrontation between the old religion and the new religion. They choose to believe in the more powerful Yongzhong Divine Cult. Even the official name of the secret guard is Yongzhong Divine Guard.
Therefore, Zan Xiruo's thinking is very clear: "After all, our Tubo is not as rich as the Tang Dynasty. It was not easy for my father to train the divine guards. After the fourth brother took over, he has recently suffered losses in the competition with the Tang Dynasty's inner guards. This time, if we let the great guards
Wouldn't it be better if the monks from Lun Temple and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty fight to the death?"
Brenzan nodded: "I understand, if there is a conflict in the royal city, the responsibility can still be left to Dalun Temple..."
Zan Xiruo showed a pleased smile: "Well said, it is indeed a stroke of genius for you to bring this little Ming King into the game. When the fifth brother grows up, he can share the worries of the clan!"
Blenzan raised his chest proudly: "Thank you, brother!"
…
"After checking everyone, are there no new clues?"
In the Potala Palace, Li Yan had already walked around the accommodation area of the palace.
He was looking at the White House area in front of him and asked.
Zhu Dan and Yang Zaisi stood behind him. They stayed up all night and were both mentally exhausted.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, even after a busy night, the answer is still frustrating: "There are no other witnesses. The assassin came and went without a trace. There was no guard who patrolled last night."
Anomaly found."
Li Yan said calmly:
"Then there were four witnesses to the entire assassination, one chamberlain and three palace ladies. The chamberlain saw the complete face, and the palace ladies saw the facial features and figure. With mutual support, Shen Juyuan is a serious suspect."
"The palace maid is extremely loyal to the princess, and the possibility of betrayal by three people at the same time is very small."
"The chamberlain can be considered to have been coerced and bribed by the Gar family. He is located here, at the junction of the White House and the inner palace. He saw the assassin changing clothes and putting on a mask in the corner, but the assassin did not notice him. This The confession is highly questionable."
"Have you checked the background of the chamberlain?"
Zhudan said: "This man's name is Dabu. His ancestor was my court painter in Subi. He specializes in painting for the lineage of the great princess. He joined the palace as a servant five years ago. The reason is unknown."
Li Yan said: "You, Su Pi, were in power because of the eldest princess and the eldest princess. Later, the eldest princess and the eldest princess fought for power and had civil strife, which gave Tubo an opportunity to take advantage of it. The current princess is from the lineage of the little princess's family. If this is the painter of the eldest princess, is it possible?" Do you have any grudges?"
Zhu Dan smiled bitterly: "Deputy Ambassador Li really knows me, Su Pi, but the struggle for power between the eldest and the youngest princesses is in the past. With the destruction of our country, the two royal families no longer care about the past. He is just a studio, let alone It’s not like avenging the princess.”
"That's purely personal reasons..."
When Li Yan said this, his eyes flashed suddenly: "You guys go to rest first!"
Zhudan bowed and left, and Yang Zaisi whispered: "Yuanfang, you also need to have a good rest. Haste makes waste."
"I understand!"
Li Yan nodded slightly, waited until the two of them left, and walked to the corner.
Just when he came to the dark place, a pair of palms suddenly shot out. Li Yan without hesitation raised his fingers like a knife and slashed at them.
Under the electric light and flint, he exchanged dozens of moves with the attacker without giving an inch, and his energy was filled with excitement.
Suddenly, the opponent retreated, and Li Yan did not pursue him: "Long time no see, master. Are you okay?"
Kumarajiva came out, his brows were a little moved, and he was also happy: "Donor Li's skills have greatly improved, and his style is even better than before. It's really gratifying to congratulate him!"
"If I don't work hard, won't I be caught up by you?"
Li Yan laughed loudly, walked over and patted Kumara on the shoulder: "It's good luck to meet an old friend in a foreign country!"
Kumaru's body was a little stiff and he was obviously not used to this etiquette, but he felt Li Yan's happiness and smiled and hugged him.
After they separated, Kumarajiva said sternly: "The poor monk came here for important matters. May I ask Master Li whether Zanpu was assassinated?"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes, Zamp was assassinated last night, and I am looking for the assassin at this time!"
He paused and said with a smile: "If my prediction is correct, you were invited by the Gar family to catch the thief?"
When Kumara heard this, he was not surprised: "Did Garda Lun send people to assassinate Zanpu?"
Li Yandao: "Master, you don't need to ask me about this. After all, I am a stakeholder, and my words may be biased. And everyone in your country's government and everyone knows that Zanpu is unwilling to be used as a puppet by the Gar family and wants to be in power. , ended up being assassinated by the traitors, and they just bullied me into not being a member of the court, so they dared to lie and deceive me!"
Kumarajiva had his own judgment: "They actually took advantage of the grudges from the past missions, but they didn't know that Donator Li helped many poor monks in the Tang Dynasty. He saved lives twice and had no repayment!"
Li Yan thought that those two thank yous made me blush, but he said politely: "Master is here to help me!"
Kumarajiva said sternly: "As long as it doesn't destabilize the Tibetan kingdom and bring disaster to all living beings, the poor monk is willing to help Almsgiver Li!"
Li Yan said calmly: "Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that what happens next will not cause turmoil in Tubo, because it is the Gar family that is unscrupulous, not us. The other party can do anything to assassinate the monarch of a country. What else are they afraid of?"
Kumara fell silent.
Li Yan said loudly: "The situation is now very critical. The Gar family is becoming more and more radical in their actions. They will then bloodbath the palace and bring disaster to the capital. They can do it. This arrogance must be suppressed and let them You know, the person in charge of Tubo should be Zampu!"
Kumarajiva has a complicated face.
Li Yan finally said: "Master is here, no sooner or later. I believe there is God's will in the secret. He also hopes to help me to bring order to the chaos and bring peace to Tubo!"
Kumarajiva took a deep breath and put his hands together:
