Chapter 279 Religious Leaders
As long as their conflicts and hostility can be provoked, then everything else will be simple. Sectarian conflicts are basically irreconcilable. Although they all belong to Tibetan Buddhism, their respective sect concepts are different, not to mention there are increasingly Serious social contradictions.
Just as Zhu Biao was thinking, a lama in a purple robe that reached his feet, a vest on his upper body, cassock over his upper body, and a gold earring inlaid with turquoise on his left ear came in. First he put his hands together and bowed, Then he paid homage again.
Zhu Biao sat on the upper seat and stretched out his hands to help him, and said: "The envoy please get up without courtesy."
The lama got up and said to Zhu Biao: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, I have come to congratulate you on the order of Dagongma (the Lord), and hope to be canonized by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
It seems that all the envoys are proficient in Chinese, and this lama looks quite good. Zhu Biao asked, "I don't know what canonization your Lord Sakyamuni wants to get?"
The lama smiled and put his palms together and said reverently: "Dai Gongma is the successor of Da Situ Jiangqu Gyaltsan Dharma King, and should inherit the titles of Da Situ and Vajra Mahayana Dharma King."
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "That is the canonization of the Yuan Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with me, Ming Dynasty."
The lama took out a tiger button seal from his bosom and put it on the ground, saying: "The canonization of the Yuan Dynasty has long been disapproved by my lord, and I invite Your Highness to play it to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows. This bald donkey meant to let your adults come over to talk, but Zhu Biao was not angry, but it was a little funny. After so many years, no one has ever underestimated him so much.
But this is also a good thing. The prince can mess around with willful behavior, but the emperor can't. It is imperative to suppress the Pazhu regime, but it can't be done on the bright side. After all, he has not completely surrendered to Ming Dynasty. Now this lama has given Zhu Biao a chance to go crazy. .
Zhu Biao stood up with a sullen face, looked at the lama in red and said, "How dare you underestimate me, even your Lord Sakyamuni is not qualified!"
The lama was also scolding his mother in his heart, as expected, he was a child, and Daming actually entrusted such an important matter to a child. In the future, Daming will probably die in the second generation.
He also inquired about this crown prince when he arrived in Ming Dynasty. There are many legends about it. For example, when he was more than ten years old, he led troops into the grassland to destroy the enemy's country. , let alone a mere layman.
I thought it was just the Ming emperor trying to build up momentum for his son, but he thought that the prince who could be so favored by him should also be extremely intelligent, but now it is obvious that he is a spoiled child.
The lama knelt down happily and said: "His Royal Highness, please calm down. My lord Sakyamuni respects Daming very much. After entering the country, I have heard a lot about His Highness's deeds. How dare you have any disrespectful thoughts."
Zhu Biao said in a cold voice: "Nanga Ba Zangbu, the former Yuan Shedi master, came to Nanjing to pay homage in person. I think he is sincere."
After Duren was taken down, the officials of the Ministry of Rites came out a little confused. They knew very well what kind of person their prince was, so how could they be angry because of such a trivial matter.
One of Yuanwailang stood up and said: "What should I do next, please show me your Highness."
Zhu Biao sat back on the chair and said calmly, "Don't treat him harshly, but don't let him hear too much, and then bring the Ministry of Rites' copy about the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to Bengong."
The officials of the Ministry of Rites felt at ease as soon as they heard it. As for why, they don’t need to know, they just do things at ease, and it’s just a barbaric place in Tubo.
After a while, the documents and archives were sent. The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, since Kublai Khan, believed in Tubo Tantric Buddhism, which was mainly related to the first emperor Ba Siba. Ba was used as a place of support, making it the supreme ruler of the Tubo area. At that time, the emperor's edict of the Yuan Dynasty and the emperor's decree went hand in hand.
This is all due to the special status of Bhaspa in Kublai Khan's heart, especially after his death, Bhasba was posthumously titled "Under the Emperor, above one person, teaching and propagating literature and assisting governance, great sage and virtue, and Pujue". True Wisdom, Blessing the Country as One Wishes, Great Treasure Dharma King, Western Paradise Buddha's Son, Master of the Great Yuan Emperor" is the supreme title.
Since then, the emperor's teacher has a very high status in the Yuan court. The emperor's empresses and concubines have all received empowerment. With tens of thousands of taels of silver and tens of thousands of pieces of silk, many of the emperor's disciples and apprentices were named national teachers, Sikong, Situ, and state officials.
And now the Nangaba Zangbu who came to the capital is only the teacher of the emperor, because the last emperor and prince of the Yuan Dynasty were sent away by Zhu Biao. Without the emperor, there would be no emperor teacher, so Nangaba Zang is just the former emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Master's heir.
Zhu Biao shook his head and smiled. The political situation in Tibet is really chaotic, but generally speaking, the current main political leader is Sakyamuni Gyaltsen, and the main religious leader is Nangaba Zangbo. These two are the leaders of Tibet.
However, these two together can only represent 60% to 70% of the forces in Tibet. There are as many small forces operating independently, and their wishes are similar. They all hope to get the support of Ming Dynasty to wipe out the rest of the forces.
What Zhu Biao has to do is to make them stalemate with each other. Only when they can't solve it by themselves will they ask Daming for help. It would be great to win each other, but the power of Sakyamuni Chanzan is a bit beyond the standard now.
Zhu Biao must let other people join forces to suppress the Pazhu regime. For Ming Dynasty, the threat to the regime is far higher than the threat to religion. After all, Tibetan Buddhism is naturally resisted by the people in the Central Plains, and it is extremely difficult for them to preach.
When it was dark, Zhu Biao stopped thinking, just in time Zhu Yuanzhang also sent someone to call him over, followed the **** and walked towards the Jinshen Hall, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the main hall, he smelled the smell of roasted sesame seeds, and it was true when he got closer.
The two chubby imperial chefs were busy, and the little **** holding the dishes was ready to quickly deliver the freshly baked biscuits to the emperor at any time. When they saw the prince was about to salute, Zhu Biao waved and went straight over.
When I walked into the room, I saw Comrade Zhu happily drinking duck blood soup and holding freshly baked hot biscuits in his hand. When he saw his son coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Biaoer is here, come and sit down. You can eat this stuff anytime." It's fragrant."
Zhu Biao smiled and walked over to pick up a sesame seed cake and took a bite. He was hungry after a busy day. Liu Jin saw it and hurried out to bring back a bowl of duck blood soup. Zhu Biao ate it while it was still hot. Talk, and deal with the biscuits seriously.
