In September of the 17th year of Orthodoxy, the Great Lama Jinba Tu came to Beijing to pay tribute.
The identity of this person is not simple. He is the current Dalai Lama, the commander of the Uzbek capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the first person under the throne of Chanhua.
In other words, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Jinba Tu can be regarded as inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and has great power.
This person's words and deeds can completely represent the meaning of King Chanhua. It can be seen that Uzang is ready for war.
In the Fengtian Hall, the ministers stood in two rows. The Great Lama Jinba Tu slowly walked in, clasped his hands and bowed in salute.
When Zhu Qizhen saw this, he was not angry. He just looked at him with a smile.
However, Kuang Ye, the Minister of Rites, had a bad temper and stood up to accuse him: "Where did this lama come from? He is so rude!"
Jin Batu said with a smile: "Excuse me, sir, what did the young monk do wrong?"
Kuang Ye scolded with a dark face: "You monk clearly asked knowingly, why didn't you kneel down when you saw the emperor?"
Jin Batu laughed and said: "The young monk has already converted to Buddhism. In this life, he will only kneel to the Buddha. May I ask, is the emperor a Buddha?"
"You..."
Kuang Ye was so angry that he was provocative. This was a naked provocation!
"The Emperor is the True Dragon Emperor. You, a country brat, are uttering arrogant words and despising our Ming Dynasty. What crime should you do?"
Jin Batu was still unhurried and said calmly: "Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? The Ming Dynasty was fighting everywhere, and it no longer paid attention to Wu Zang. The young monk sincerely came to pay tribute. Now that he has been accused of unwarranted charges, with such a warlike king, it is conceivable that Ming Dynasty’s strength has been exhausted!”
In the main hall, everyone took a breath of cold air.
If those words just now were a provocation, now they are almost equivalent to a declaration of war!
Next, let’s see how the emperor responds.
You know, the emperor looks harmless to humans and animals, but he actually kills people without blinking an eye.

The problem now is that it is easy to kill someone, but... what are the consequences?
Jin Batu was confident and clearly told the court that Uzang was ready to launch a war, come on!
With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to destroy Wu Zang. However, what we have to consider now is not the outcome at all, but the price that will be paid.
When a person is very poor, he does not need to consider the consequences, he just does it.
If you win, you will earn blood. If you are unlucky, if you lose, you may lose your life.
Anyway, a life is not worth anything.
In the current situation, Uszang is just a man with a low life. He is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
Daming is like a big landowner, rich all over the world. Of course, the richer the person, the more... he cherishes his life.
Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty wants to start a war, it cannot be based on victory or defeat. Instead, it must consider clearly what benefits it can get from Uzang after the battle is over to make up for the large number of troops, ammunition, and supplies it has put in. ……
To fight a war is to fight for money, to fight for silver. Throw in millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver, and then what?
Together with the war, it would be a loss for Ming Dynasty no matter what!
Not to mention that the pace of the New Deal was slowed down by the war and economic development stagnated. This debt is even more immeasurable.
It was precisely because of this that Wu Zang dared to be so arrogant.
To sum up, it’s... Come and beat me, come and beat me!
Kuang Ye became angry and was about to reprimand, but saw Zhu Qizhen wave his hand at him, so he endured it and stepped aside.
"Is your name Jin Batu?"
Zhu Qizhen stood up from the golden dragon chair, walked slowly, and came to Jin Batu, still with a pleasant smile on his face.
Jin Batu still had a dissatisfied expression on his face and said carelessly: "Little monk Jin Batu, I have met His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"
"The fact that you call yourself a monk means that you are the Great Lama of Uzang, not the commander who was conferred by me in the Ming Dynasty. Is this what you mean?"
Jin Batu nodded and said: "In Uzang, King Chanhua is the commander, and the young monk is the protective lama, and he is also the commander."
The ministers in the palace watched with cold eyes, waiting to see how long the emperor could endure.
However, Zhu Qizhen was still not annoyed and asked: "As long as the governance is done properly, the integration of education and politics is a good method. Tell me, what do you mean when you come to the capital?"
Jin Batu was very surprised, why aren't you angry?
I'm ready to curse, but you're still smiling so much that I can't help but curse...
Could it be that... the Emperor of Heaven is not as decisive as the rumors say, but a timid person?
Sure enough, the rumors are not reliable!
Thinking of this, he became more confident and said: "Since Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Zang has always been respected by the Ming Dynasty. However, in the past thirty years, the Ming court has never provided any assistance to Wu Zang. The Ancient Tea Horse Road It is no longer open to the public. I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor, are you prepared to abandon Us and hide yourself?"
"If you want help, you can!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "I would like to ask, what contribution has Wu Zang made to the Ming Dynasty? Not to mention the past thirty years, even in the past fifty years, the court has never seen a penny from Wu Zang Taxes, do you really respect me, the Ming Dynasty?"
Jin Batu snorted softly and said: "Wuzang respects the Ming Dynasty, but everyone believes in Buddha, and everyone's income must be dedicated to Buddha to pray for peace. The emperor is not a Buddhist and will not understand." Zhu Qizhen suddenly laughed: "I understand, you want the court to provide assistance, and then all your income will be dedicated to the Buddha... No, it will be dedicated to your King Chanhua, right?"
"King Chanhua is the incarnation of Buddha, so he naturally has to act on behalf of Buddha!"
"In other words, you only listen to the Buddha?"
"That's nature. Buddha has immeasurable magical power and can save all living beings!"
Jin Batu clasped his hands together and closed his eyes slightly, his expression was very pious.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qizhen couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand: "Take the imperial edict!"
Jin Batu was confused and was about to ask a question when he saw a eunuch in the palace take out an imperial edict, cleared his throat, and began to read:
"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says!"
The ministers did not even react and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Jin Batu was stunned for a moment, but still insisted not to kneel, but put his hands together and bowed, which was considered as a courtesy.
"I am very pleased to hear that there is a Buddha in Uszang who can save all sentient beings and has made immeasurable merits. I have specially awarded him the title of Grand Scholar of Jinshen Hall, allowed him to serve as a counselor in the cabinet, and granted him the title of Crown Prince and Tutor. If the Buddha refuses to accept the award, please show up and make it clear to me
, only for today, no waiting after the expiration date, otherwise it will be deemed as consent. Here you go!"
After reading the imperial edict, everyone was stunned.
The ministers really didn't expect that the emperor would make such a trick.
Buddha...will you grant him an official title?
Jin Batu was going crazy. He couldn't even find the right words to express his true inner thoughts.
"This is... blasphemy to Buddha and blasphemy to gods!"
