On the first day of March in the third year of Longwu, the leaders of various Tubo tribes rushed to Chang'an.
Also arriving with these tribal leaders were the fourth Panchen Erdeni Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen and the fifth Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso of the Gelug sect.
The fourth Panchen Lama Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen was seventy-nine years old and had a very high status in Tibet. He advocated that religious families should fight for the establishment of a family, especially worship Tsongkhapa, be proficient in sutras and esoterics, and publish scriptures. Both the fourth generation and the fifth generation worshiped him as their teacher.
One thing that needs to be made clear is that just a few years ago, it was not the Yellow Sect that was dominant in Tibet, but the White Sect.
The official name of Baijiao is Kagyu Sect, which focuses on the practice of Tantric Dharma, and the practice of Tantric Dharma must be passed down orally from master to disciple. Because the monks of the Kagyu Sect have white stripes on their skirts, they are commonly known as the White Sect.
In the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the fourth Panchen Lama Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen and the fifth Panchen Lama Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso secretly sent people to Moxi and asked Gushi Khan, the Heshuote tribe in Moxi, to lead his troops into Tibet and overthrew the belief system. Tsangpa Khan of the Kagyu Sect.
Gushi Khan sewed Zangba Khan, who had banned the imperial title, into raw cowhide and threw him into the river and drowned. Then support the Yellow Sect to gain dominance in Tibet.
In other words, it only took a few years for the Yellow Sect to replace the White Sect and gain the dominant position in Tibet. Now Gushi Khan, who supported the Yellow Sect, was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, and he was destroyed so cleanly;
This is also the reason why the fourth Panchen Lama Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen, who was nearly eighty years old, came to Chang'an in person to meet the Emperor of Qin.
Regarding the specifications for receiving the Fourth Panchen Lama and the Fifth Panchen Lama, the ministers of the DPRK and China had considerable differences, with some advocating cold treatment or even suppression. Some people advocate giving enough courtesy and holding them high.
Those who advocated suppression were mainly military generals. After Gao Yigong's 15,000 troops entered Tibet, he also recruited 30,000 troops from various Tibetan tribes, and Yu Shangyou was clever. Now that the situation in Qinghai-Tibet has been basically controlled, the military generals feel that there is no need to color the Panchen Lama and the Communist Party at this time.
It was some civil servants headed by Li Yuan who advocated giving courteous treatment. Wei Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Qinghai and Tibet is special. The local people are extremely religious. We, the Qin Dynasty, want long-term peace and stability in Qinghai and Tibet. I think we should consider it." If the Panchen Lama and the Communist Party come to suppress the religious beliefs of the local people, it will easily arouse dissatisfaction among the Qinghai people, which will be extremely detrimental to future governance. "
Chief Assistant Sima An said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to deliberately suppress it. However, Qinghai and Tibet have always had the habit of combining politics and religion, so allowing one faction to dominate is not conducive to governance.
The fourth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen, advocated that religious sects should fight for the establishment of a family and that all sects should live in peace. The court can follow his wishes and treat the other four major sects of Tibetan Buddhism equally and equally: the Nyingma sect, the Sakya sect, the Kagyu sect, and the Kadam sect. "
It is impossible to change the beliefs of the Qinghai and Tibetan people all at once. That being the case. Sima An's method is indeed a feasible strategy, to support the other four sects to prevent one sect from becoming dominant.
If a piece of cake is divided equally, everyone can eat it. But no one has enough to eat and have nothing to do or use their brains.
"Do you ministers think the opinion of Grand Scholar Sima is advisable?" Qin Mu asked, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he said, "Then let's follow the opinion of Grand Scholar Sima."
at last. Qin Mu ordered Lin Junxiu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, to come forward to receive him. He asked the Ministry of Rites to receive him instead of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The meaning of this was very obvious. This was not a foreign matter, but an internal affair of Qin Dynasty. This means that Qing Dynasty will definitely establish Qinghai-Tibet Province soon.
At the same time, Zen Master Faqing, the abbot of Daci'an Temple in Chang'an, recruited eminent Buddhist monks from the Central Plains and gathered in Chang'an. Although Tibetan Buddhism and Buddhism in the Central Plains have the same origin, they are very different.
Qin Mu felt that it was necessary to strengthen exchanges between Tibetan Buddhism and Central Plains Buddhism to achieve greater integration with each other, which might be helpful to the governance of Qinghai-Tibet.
Therefore, Qin Mu issued an order for the fourth Panchen Lama and the fifth Panchen Lama to stay in Daci'en Temple together and communicate with Zen Master Faqing and others. On March 2nd, both parties went to the altar to give a Zen lecture, which attracted thousands of people in Chang'an City to go to Da Ci'en Temple to watch.
Qin Mu, on the other hand, received an audience from the leaders of Monan and Tubo tribes in the Jinluan Hall of Xianyang Palace.
Good guy, hundreds of tribal leaders, large and small, filed in under the guidance of the ceremony officers. There were only a few Da Qin officials accompanying Xijing, and the total number of civilian and military generals was only about twenty. As soon as these hundreds of tribal leaders came in, Da Qin's Jinluan Palace seemed to be occupied by foreigners.
Until the ceremony officer shouted: "Kneel down!"
The scene changed greatly. Hundreds of tribal leaders were seen kneeling down in the hall like waves of wheat, bowing three times and kowtowing: "Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
Qin Mu was wearing a black robe and a twelve-piece crown on his head. He was sitting on a golden chair. Looking down from the high Danqi, he could see the tribal leaders being respectful and following the official's instructions with their buttocks bent. No one dared to show his rebellious attitude when paying homage.
Such a result was achieved by thousands of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who shed their lives and blood.
In the face of absolute strength, these once arrogant tribal leaders had only two choices: surrender or perish, and they chose the latter.
Qin Mu slowly unfolded his big black sleeves and said loudly: "Flat body!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then all the leaders stood up one after another, and some quietly looked at the dragon chair. There were twelve baskets hanging in front of the emperor, which made his face unclear, but it could be seen that he was very young, but there was an aura about him. The solemn and profound feeling makes people dare not look closely.
"I called you to come to Xijing. I am very relieved that you can arrive as scheduled." Qin Mu paused and said slowly, "Since ancient times, various tribes have been fighting and killing each other, and wars have broken out. The people of all ethnic groups have suffered heavy disasters. As the emperor, I have the responsibility to end these disputes and prevent the people of all ethnic groups from suffering the devastation of war again.
From now on, regardless of whether the land is divided into north or south, and people regardless of race, they must live in harmony, exchange what they need, unite as one, and jointly maintain the hard-won peace. If anyone dares to provoke a war for his own selfish interests again, we will all fight against him together. Do you have any objections? "
"no disagreement."
“I have no objection”
"I am willing to obey His Majesty's orders."
Hundreds of tribal leaders bowed down one after another and expressed their opinions. The situation is stronger than others. Who dares to object at this time
Qin Mu said with satisfaction: "As long as you surrender sincerely, I will naturally give you a reward. But I have also said ugly words in advance. If anyone goes back on my words in the future, it is no wonder that I have harsh methods."
"I don't dare to wait."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"If anyone goes back on his word, we will obey His Majesty's order and fight against him together."
“…..”
There was another flurry of expressions of support. Compared with the well-trained Daqin officials who could almost speak in unison, the voices of these tribal leaders sounded as chaotic as the vegetable sellers in the market.
But that's not important. What Qin Mu wants is not the oath they say. In the final analysis, everything still depends on strength. Today in the Jinluan Palace, it is just to seize the name of righteousness. Everyone has expressed their submission. If words and deeds are inconsistent in the future, the Qin Dynasty will send troops to attack, and the army will be famous.
Next, Qin Mu asked the Li Palace to bring out the imperial edict and announced the canonization of the leaders of various tribes. There were more than a hundred people with weird names. It took a lot of effort just to read the list. After the entire imperial edict was recited, It takes nearly two cups of tea.
After the canonization, things like official uniforms and seals are also given. After everyone accepts these, the status of the monarch and his ministers is officially determined.
Qin Mu then continued: "In addition to calling you to the capital this time, I will also hold a hunting, and invite everyone to participate. Originally, this spring season is not a good time for hunting, but Hetao is still There is a wolf that makes the surrounding people uneasy. I will take you to hunt this wolf this time. You have traveled a long way to Beijing, so please rest for two days. After two days, we will go hunting together. "
The leaders of each tribe looked at each other with their own thoughts. They knew very well who the wolf Qin Mu was talking about. This time it seems that there is something to watch.
