Chapter 1143 Bounty

At this time, Zhu Ping had calmed down and no longer spoke so excitedly to his wife and children. Yunxi walked up to Qu Feng and others who were waiting behind him, and said: "Dear dear friends, this time the bandits are attacking Ganzhou City, you

The meritorious service is not small, I will definitely reward you later."

"I apologize to Your Majesty." Qu Feng immediately knelt down and said, "I failed to command the soldiers to defend Ganzhou City, and I dare not accept your Majesty's reward."

"I apologize to Your Majesty, but I dare not accept the reward." The other generals immediately knelt down and said.

"You all get up!" Yunxi said loudly: "Ganzhou City only has one guard station with about ten thousand people, and there are sixty or seventy thousand bandits. They also drove good people to attack the city; besides, most of the equipment used to defend the city were taken away.

The loss of the city is not your fault."

"And even after the city fell, you and others led the troops to retreat to Prince Su's Mansion, and persisted in defending the Mansion until reinforcements arrived, which is a great achievement."

"I have always rewarded my merits and punished me for my mistakes. Your merits will definitely be rewarded."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Qu Feng kowtowed again and said. The other generals also quickly thanked him.

After saying this, Yunxi took a few people and got on the carriage again and headed towards Prince Su's Mansion. But before getting on the carriage, he confessed to Zhu Ping: "Uncle Fourteenth, I have promised to let the army of 100,000 men temporarily stay."

He stayed in Hexi to suppress the bandits, but now it seems that 100,000 men were not enough. There were 60,000 to 70,000 bandits gathered by the people sent by Timur alone, and there were also those who were not gathered by him. The security of Hexi

The situation is very serious.”

"I am incompetent." Zhu Zhen apologized.

"Uncle Fourteen, what does this have to do with you?" Yunxi said: "The land in Hexi is barren, the people are not rich, and there are enemies on both sides. How can the situation be blamed on Uncle Fourteen? Instead, Ganzhou is the vassal state.

Later, the local security eased, and Uncle Fourteen should take credit for it."

"Thank you, officials, for your understanding." Although Zhu Wei was no longer a young boy, he was still a little moved.

"I have decided to add an additional 50,000 troops to suppress the bandits. At the same time, I will send envoys to Tibet and the Mongolian grasslands to let the local people also suppress the bandits. I also plan to set a reward, regardless of Han, Tibetan, Mongolian, or other peoples.

If you pick up the heads of bandits, you can exchange them for rewards at the yamen under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Chief Envoys Division, and at the guards of the Shaanxi Du Commander Envoy Division and the Shaanxi Xingdu Commander Envoy Division. You can discuss the specific reward amount with Wu Jie."

"The most important of them is the bandits who participated in the siege of Ganzhou City this time. It is difficult for ordinary bandits to identify, but the leader has been offered a reward and has been captured by drawings, so he can be identified. The reward for the leader of the bandits who participated in the siege of Ganzhou City is ten times higher; as for the leader, the reward is ten times higher.

The two most important people, Ma Buxiang and Sauraha, if anyone comes forward with their heads, the reward will be doubled a hundred times! I will definitely let you die!" Yunxi said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, official." Zhu Zhen agreed. His wife and children were almost trapped in the city, and his hatred for Ma Buxiang and Sauraha was not much worse than that of Yunxi. Besides, he did not pay for the suppression of bandits. Of course,

Yes. "I will offer a separate reward for the head of the bandit leader who besieged Ganzhou City!"

"What's the problem?" Yunxi asked again.

"Your Majesty, I can't say it's difficult, but there are two questions I can think of at this time. First, if some bandits take the initiative to surrender when they see this is bad, how to arrange it? Second, if some people kill a few people at will and pretend to be

If the bandit's head comes to receive the reward, wouldn't it be a waste of reward? Moreover, the expense would be too high," said Zhu Zhen.

"One of the things you said is that if they have no enmity with the Ming army, they did not besiege Ganzhou City this time, but accepted the surrender and established it as a garrison."

"Secondly, first of all, you don't have to worry about the expenses. They will all be allocated by the imperial court. Just don't set the reward too high. As for secondly," Yunxi smiled gloomily: "The people who killed the people at will and pretended to be bandits were not reducing the number of barbarians.

?”

"Ah, yes." Zhu Zhai was stunned for a moment before agreeing.

"Uncle Fourteen, you are king in the northwest, so you must not be merciful." Yunxi patted him on the shoulder and got on the carriage. Zhu Zhen stood there and waited for Yunxi's carriage to start before returning to his carriage.

boarding.

Sitting in the carriage, although Yunxi was very tired, he still managed to comfort Zhiwen and other children of Qin King Shang Bing. Shang Bing was far away in the Land of Seven Rivers at this time (he had not yet reached the city of Samarkand), and the princess

Although Tang Yuewan was also very anxious, he couldn't bear to run around like this and fall behind. As the patriarch of the Zhu family, of course he should care about his nephew.

But what made Yunxi very strange was that Zhiwen's expression was very calm, and he was still mumbling words. He listened carefully, and it felt like he was reciting Buddhist scriptures. After asking him to step aside, Yunxi couldn't help but ask Xu Miaojin: "He is this

What's going on?" Yunxi was chatting with Shang Bing when he was in Yiwu. He knew that Zhiwen himself didn't like Buddhism and was annoyed by the sound of Buddhist chanting. Why did he suddenly start reciting Buddhist scriptures at this time?

"Husband, Zhiwen has been like this for two days. Ever since Tsongkhapa led the Tibetan soldiers to relieve the danger in Ganzhou City, and I met Tsongkhaba with him again, he has been like this." Xu Miaojin said a little bit.

Said anxiously.

"That's it? He didn't say anything to Tsongkhapa?" Yunxi asked again.

"Well, Zhiyi asked Tsongkhapa a few questions, and Tsongkhapa answered them and gave Zhiyi a Buddhist scripture. After that, Zhiyi kept reading the Buddhist scriptures and asked about words he didn't know."

Xu Miaojin's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Miaojin, do you think this is your fault?"

"Husband, if I hadn't brought him along to meet Tsongkhapa, he probably wouldn't be like this."

"It's none of your business." Yunhe said with a smile: "If Zhiyi likes Tibetan Buddhism, even without you, he will hire a master to teach him sooner or later. You can't stop him."

After hearing Yunxi's words, Xu Miaojin relaxed a little and couldn't help but lean on the backrest behind him. However, Yunxi thought in his mind: 'Would it be beneficial if Qin Fan believed in Tibetan Buddhism?'

It was not easy to predict for a while, so Yunxi put the matter down first and asked: "Miaojin, what has Tsongkhapa done since he came to Ganzhou City?"

"Husband, after Master Tsongkhapa came to Ganzhou City to expel the bandits, he has been living in the post house and studying Buddhist scriptures. He only went out to Baojue Temple (Big Buddha Temple) yesterday, but he came back after a while."

Xu Miaojin answered.

"Why did he go to Baojue Temple?" Yunxi was curious. Baojue Temple is a temple of Han Buddhism, at least now it is a temple of Han Buddhism. It is an exaggeration to say that it is the same as Tibetan Buddhism, but it is also incompatible.

What does Kaba do as a master of Tibetan Buddhism?

"I don't know. I sent someone to ask the abbot of Baojue Temple. He said that Master Tsongkhapa wandered around the front hall of the temple for a while, and then left without talking to him or any monk in the temple.

.”

"This is surprising!" Yunxi was even more surprised: "Then why did he spin around in a circle?"

"Brother Imperial, you can just ask him when you meet him. Why make any guesses?" Yunzhi said suddenly.

"This can't be possible. Who knows whether what he said is true or false? But whatever, it doesn't matter much, so I won't guess. Just close your eyes and rest your mind. I came all the way from Yiwu, but it was very hard." Yunxi

Lie down with a smile and close your eyes.

"Brother Emperor, why did you invite this Lamaist master named Tsongkhapa to Ganzhou to meet him? I also met him with my sister-in-law. He is a skinny middle-aged man. Although he is proficient in Buddhism, he is not an emperor.

Brother, you have no idea of ​​learning Buddhism, do you? Could it be that we foresee that something will happen to us in Ganzhou and he will come to rescue us?" Yunzhi sat next to Yunxi and asked curiously. Although she believed in Buddhism, she had no idea about Tibetan Buddhism.

He was not interested, so he had no special feelings about meeting Tsongkhapa. At this time, he mentioned it to Yunxi in a teasing tone.

"The emperor gave him a new name. Tibetan Buddhism can no longer be called Lamaism." Yunxi first emphasized this point, and then said: "As for inviting him to Ganzhou, of course it is impossible to come here specifically.

Save you. If I had predicted that you would be in danger in Ganzhou, I would have sent someone to send you back to Xi'an in advance. Xi'an is very safe with Geng Bingwen in charge, so how could I have kept you in Ganzhou!"

"Why is that?" Yunzhi also knew that what she just thought was absolutely nonsense, so she asked again.

"Of course we have to preach to the Mongolian grasslands!" Yunxi said: "The ethnic groups in the northern grasslands have been the most serious border trouble since ancient times. Starting from the Qin Dynasty, the court's main energy was spent on dealing with them, regardless of the ethnic group.

Should we call them Xiongnu, Turks, Khitans or Mongols?"

"But it is impossible to completely eliminate them. The Han Dynasty must have used enough soldiers, horses, money and food to deal with the Huns. Although the Huns suffered heavy losses, the Han Dynasty also suffered heavy losses. In the end, they could no longer hold on and had to stop the attack. Sima

Guang even said, 'Han Wu made the same mistake as Qin's fall.' If he had not corrected his mistakes too late and entrusted others, the Han Dynasty would have perished. Although his words are biased, they are not unreasonable."

"But you should ignore them. They also go south to plunder. And because they are all cavalry, they come and go without a trace and it is difficult to annihilate them all, so we cannot use ordinary methods to deal with them."

"So my brother wants to send Tibetan Buddhism to the Mongolian grasslands to preach. Yunzhi, you probably don't know much about Tibetan Buddhism. In fact, my brother doesn't know much about it either. But as long as you know that if Tibetan Buddhism spreads widely on the Mongolian grasslands, most of you will

As long as all the Mongols believe in this religion, they will no longer become a border trouble."

"Then why don't we send eminent Buddhist monks from the Central Plains to preach in the Mongolian grasslands? Is there such a big difference between Tibetan Buddhism and the Buddhism of the Ming Dynasty? Mongolians are willing to believe in Tibetan Buddhism but not in Central Plains Buddhism?" Yun Zhi really got it this time.

If you have questions, ask them.

"This?" Yunxi scratched his head a little. The reason why he allowed Tibetan Buddhism to spread to the Mongolian grasslands was simple: the Manchu and Qing Dynasties succeeded. So using Tibetan Buddhism will definitely succeed. Han Buddhism may not fail, but there are always some risks, right?

For such a major matter, he still pursues safety.

"Huainan, you are thirsty after talking so much. Have a cup of tea." Xu Miaojin suddenly interrupted and handed a cup of tea to Yunzhi.

"Well, thank you sister-in-law." Yunzhi took the tea cup and thanked her.

"Huainan, your royal brother traveled thousands of miles to Ganzhou City and is very sleepy now. If you have anything to ask, you should wait until tomorrow." Xu Miaojin took the opportunity to whisper in her ear.

"I know, sister-in-law." Yun Zhi also thought of this at this time, and hurriedly agreed, then turned her head and stopped talking to Yun Hei.

Seeing this, Yunxi stopped talking and lay down to rest. After a while, they arrived at Prince Su's Mansion. Yunxi said a few words to Xu Miaojin and Zhu Zhen before going to bed. Zhu Zhen came all the way like him.

After exchanging a few casual words, we went to bed.

Yunxi slept until the evening. After a full sleep, Yunxi stretched and sat up and asked the maid serving beside him: "What time is it now?"

"Guan family, it's already the beginning of the Youshi period." The palace maid replied.

"It's already this time. I slept long enough." Yun He couldn't help but say. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He had been sleeping since about the beginning of the morning, and it has been four full hours until now.

.

Yunxi yawned again, and just as he was about to get up, he heard the door open, and then Xu Miaojin's voice came: "Husband, are you awake?"

"Well, I'm awake." Yunxi said, "Didn't I tell you to wake me up beforehand?" He suddenly realized that speaking like this was too stiff, and quickly joked: "My husband feels like his stomach is fast as soon as he wakes up.

I'm hungry, I guess it's because I didn't eat lunch."

"I saw that my husband was sleeping soundly, so I didn't have the heart to disturb him, so I let him continue sleeping. It is really my fault for delaying my husband's meal." Xu Miaojin said with a smile.

Yunxi joked with her a few more words and got up to get dressed. Xu Miaojin asked again: "Husband, can we pass on the meal now?"

"Pass! My husband's stomach is starving. If you don't pass on the meal, you will starve to death." Yunhe said with a smile.

Xu Miaojin immediately ordered the eunuch next to her to pass the meal. Then she saw that Yunxi had no intention of leaving the house. She sat on the bed and seemed to be waiting for the meal to be delivered. After thinking about it, she sat next to him and started chatting casually.

Not long after, the meal was delivered, and they sat down to eat together. Yunxi asked, "Where's Yunzhi? Why don't you ask her to come over and eat together?"

"She was also asleep. After lunch, she went to the guards to practice martial arts for a while, and then took a nap. She has slept until now."

"Why do you go to practice martial arts at noon?" Yunxi muttered, but didn't pay attention. He casually chatted with Xu Miaojin while eating.

Then he saw Xu Miaojin frowning, as if she had something to say, and asked: "Miaojin, do you have something to say to your husband? Otherwise, why are you frowning?"

"Ah!" Xu Miaojin cried out, and then said: "Nothing, I just want to know why my husband summoned Master Tsongkhapa. Although Master Tsongkhapa is the most famous master of Tibetan Buddhism today, the Yellow Sect he founded

If you are not strong, you may not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of preaching to the Mongolian grasslands."

"You don't know that." Yunxi smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly paused. He hurriedly finished the rice in the bowl and then said: "If you want to know, wait until my husband summons him tomorrow.

You can know it if you are there.”
