The lively atmosphere of Tienwang Mountain will not change much because of a "little thing" in Uzang.
Most of the nobles in the capital view Uzang as a place of uncivilized people and misery. What's more, they don't even know whether Uzang is in the south or the north.
Whether Dali Ma Bala is alive or dead, no one cares about the nobles except the warriors who were ordered to go to the imperial tent to discuss politics.
As for why the martial arts warriors are concerned about the life and death of Dalimama Bala, it is very simple. The sooner he dies, the martial arts warriors can happily harvest military merits.
Seeing the Jia family becoming dukes and marquises through war after war, who wouldn't be jealous?
That guy Jia Enhou is so hateful. Each of his cubs is more powerful than the last. I'm envious!
The prince was left to sit in the capital by the emperor. Jia Cong, an unrelated "son", was made a young man by the emperor and had to sit in the imperial tent to sort out and review memorials.
The candle as thick as an arm illuminated the tent brightly. Jia Cong opened a memorial and the corner of his mouth twitched...
"Feng Tangyao, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, bows to the Holy Spirit and wishes His Majesty's peace. I have been ordered to sit in Datong. There has been no war in Datong Town for two years. The people live and work in peace and contentment. I praise His Majesty's Holy Might... I got a daughter on the third day of July. Later, on August 11th, I got another daughter...I hosted a banquet for the elders of Datong, and a guest presented me with three pieces of sable skins that I had hunted. I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and presented them to the emperor..."
Jia Cong picked up his pen, but he didn't know how to reply.
What did Uncle Feng write? Are you showing off that you are still going strong and can still have two daughters in your forties?
Toothache, how does the cabinet in the capital screen? Shouldn't His Highness the Crown just approve such discounts at will? The "hard-working" Emperor must be sent to you!
The industrious Emperor Yuanyou was sipping tea happily and holding a newly translated Western "history book" in his hand.
"Oh, these Xiyi are really interesting. They can think of this legendary story as history."
Jia Cong glanced at the four big characters on the cover - "Homer's Epic". Tsk, it turned out to be this "legend". It didn't matter, it was just a legend.
Seeing that the emperor happened to be free, Jia Cong took the book to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, take a look at this. How should you respond?"
"Oh? And your kid can't do it? Let me take a look."
The emperor became interested and took it over to take a look: "This Feng Tang is really... Reply to him, I know. You continue to watch the north for me in Datong. The grassland has been newly added soon, and Datong is an important place for mutual trade. Let's I am not worried if others go. I will also give you gold and silver satin, and the Ministry of Rites will send someone to send it to Datong."
ah?
It does not make sense?
Jia Cong looked at the emperor in confusion and asked, "I don't understand. Your Majesty, can you explain it to me?"
Oh, I just like this kind of good boy who just asks questions when he doesn’t understand!
The emperor motioned Jia Cong to sit down and began to teach others.
"Didn't Feng Tang say this in the book? After the grassland surrendered, there was no war for two years. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the situation was very good. Then he said that he got a daughter in July and another in August. He Feng Tang is Who? Under what circumstances would the chief military officer of Datong Town, an important town on the nine sides, give birth to children one after another? "
An idea flashed in Jia Cong's mind and he slapped his thigh: "General Feng is complaining to His Majesty. He is a military general staying in a useless place in Datong. He can only sleep with his daughter... Ahem, he is so panicked that he can stay at home. Having a baby!”
"Smart, Feng Tang also said in the book that he is still strong and healthy, and he can still have two children in his forties. He is begging for war with me, and wants me to send him to places where there is war."
The emperor looked like he had a burning gaze, and Jia Cong hurriedly flattered him.
After the admiration and flattery was over, the emperor was in a good mood, so he was a good teacher and didn't mind giving more advice to Jia Cong.
"You are still too young. These old foxes in the court are more cunning than the last. If you have any questions, please tell me and I will teach you."
Naturally, Jia Cong would not miss this good opportunity to ask for advice. He ran to his desk, picked up all the memorials that he could not understand during the review, opened them one by one and started asking for advice.
"Your Majesty, please take another look at this... Guangzhou Prefect Hu Youwei impeached Guangzhou Prefect Yu Wensun, Panyu County Magistrate Qian Jianwei... and other eight officials, saying that these people defied the imperial edict and secretly changed rice to mulberry , and hindered government agencies from inspecting land and implementing new laws."
After listening to Jia Cong's statement, the emperor's expression became slightly colder.
He did not reply directly, but asked first: "What should you do about this?"
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, and then stated his opinion.
"I think that if what Hu Youwei said is true, then Yu Wensun and others should have colluded with the local gentry and deliberately resisted the implementation of the new law. If it is false, then Hu Youwei is using it as an excuse to suppress his deputies. After all, the same government has the same knowledge and they are in charge of different places. Salt, grain, poaching, river defense, sea frontier, river engineering, water conservancy, as well as cleaning up military status, appeasing the people and other affairs. If the deputy is not obedient, it will be difficult to be the governor. Maybe he will be ignored. "
Jia Cong finally made his own decision on this document: "It should be sent back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will send people to investigate and deal with it according to law."
"You can see it. How could the people in the cabinet not understand? Why do you think they sent this document to the imperial court?"
The emperor agreed with Jia Cong's handling and asked again.
Jia Cong thought for a while and replied tentatively: "Is there anyone in the court who wants to test His Majesty's determination? It has become increasingly difficult to implement the new law recently. Zhou Ge is always worried about changes in Your Majesty's attitude towards the New Deal."
The emperor nodded: "This is the difference between Zhou Jiong and Master Wei. Master Wei never worries that I will give in."
"That……"
The emperor smiled nonchalantly: "I will reply as you said and write a note to the capital. The ministers in the cabinet can handle these matters themselves and do not need to report them to the emperor. The new law is the foundation of the country for thousands of years. The country and the dynasty No matter the royal family members, ministers, gentry, or the people of the world, they are not allowed to disobey the imperial decree, and those who violate it will be severely punished!"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given Mr. Zhou Ge a piece of reassurance. With this note, he can free his hands and do things."
"I'm not afraid of my ministers doing anything, I'm just afraid that they will be too timid to do anything."
The stubborn old man is the stubborn old man. As long as this man decides something, ninety-nine horses can't pull him back.
He waved his hand and said, "Any more? Continue."
Jia Cong wrote a few lines on the folded book, put it aside, and continued reading the next book.
"Hou Wanjing, the magistrate of Dengzhou, reported that there were many maritime merchants in Dengzhou who brought a large number of Korean maids and Japanese women from overseas. Since there were no laws regarding the sale of overseas women in the Daxia Code, he was undecided. , so I want to ask the Holy Judge."
"Goryeo has now been incorporated into the dynasty, and it should be viewed according to my people. Send an order to the cabinet, the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple to strictly investigate the sale of women from the four counties of Goryeo... in Liaodong. As for the Japanese girls , What are you doing to me? Just follow the example of the Kunlun slaves."
"I understand... Also, the Chief Envoy of Shandong Province, Si Shangzhuo, the Thirteenth Master passed by on his way back to Beijing last month... Pfft... passing through Shandong, he took a 'side trip' to Qufu, and accidentally brought some people in the Confucius Forest. The grave has been dug..."
Qufu is two or three days' journey from Canal Kuaima, and Lao Shisan's trip is far enough.
The emperor rubbed his brows with a headache: "Send a letter to Lao Shisan and ask him to come back quickly. His nephew is getting married, so there should be less trouble outside. Send a message to Shandong, and ask the chief envoy to provide money to bring him back." Kong Lin repaired it well..."
…
During the past few days of hunting, Jia Cong basically spent it in the imperial tent.
The emperor felt that Jia Cong was quite easy to use as the "little secret", so he gave him the official title of Hanlin and ordered him to help handle the memorials.
Jia Cong was in pain and happiness. When dealing with the memorial, he asked the emperor for advice from time to time. The emperor and his ministers played the role of master and apprentice, and Jia Cong learned a lot from it.
After receiving the emperor's summons, Xu Jin rushed to Tienwang Mountain. Without having time to talk to his young apprentice, he followed the emperor's order and took five hundred of the most elite imperial guards to the west along the Great Wall.
Jia Cong took him all the way to the foot of the Iron Net Mountain and gave the teacher a delicate short blunderbuss.
Just when the imperial court was ready to deal with Uzang, the news that Dali Mabala was assassinated and seriously injured, and that 70% of the mission was killed or injured, finally reached Tsariba, the royal city of Uzang.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the imperial court followed the example of the previous dynasty and established a monk-official system in Uzang.
The monks and officials are divided into various levels: Dharma King (actually a religious king with a diocese), Xitian Buddhist disciple, great national teacher, national teacher, Zen master, Du Gang, and lama.
During the Taiping and Xingguo years, Emperor Taizong successively canonized eight important Dharma kings and teaching kings, including King Chanhua, Dharma King Dabao, Dharma Protector King, Praise King, Auxiliary Dharma King, Chan Jiao King, Mahayana Dharma King, and Daci Dharma King.
The compassionate Dharma King Sakyamuni, who was based in Tsariba, was considered the most friendly to the Celestial Empire among the three Dharma kings of Uszang.
The remaining Karmapa Karmapa, Mahayana Karmapa and other religious kings such as Chan Jiao King and Chan Hua King had many different intentions and colluded with the Western Barbarians. They often spread the word in Uzang about the power of Tibet in the past and their interest in the rich land of the Central Plains. ambition.
Of course, there are many aristocratic monks in Uzang who know very well the thoughts of Karmapa and the other three. At the same time, they also want Uzang to break away from the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty and restore the glory of Tubo.
When the news that the national preceptor Dalima Bala was seriously injured in an attack in the Central Plains spread back to the plateau, the four Dharma Kings and many noble monks gathered at the Chaliba Palace to discuss how to respond.
Sakyamuni, as the most senior among the four Dharma kings and the most powerful person under his command, was the first to speak: "The Chief Envoy of Sichuan also sent a letter, saying that they have submitted a letter to the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, and we only need to wait for the imperial court's investigation with peace of mind. Dispose of it, don’t let people with ulterior motives take advantage of the loopholes..."
"Absurd, whose dynasty? Whose emperor? The Imperial Guard is the Imperial Guard of our great Tubo. He was seriously injured in an attack on their Han territory. This is a provocation by the Han people to our Tubo warriors. We should report to my king, please My king has summoned all the tribes of Tibet to unite his troops and horses, and we will go to war with the Central Plains to avenge the national army..."
The red-robed lama in front of him was a member of the Karmapa. Sakyamuni frowned and was about to scold him when a loud noise came from outside the door.
He raised his hand to interrupt the red-clothed lama's conversation, and asked toward the door: "Go and see what's going on outside?"
Not long after, I heard a servant come in in a panic and knelt down to report: "Back to the Dharma King, Zhang Dehai, the minister in charge of Tibet, has just left the city with a group of people. There are rumors that Zhang Dehai took people to Liewudong (today's Naidong)..."
King Chanhua became anxious immediately, because Liewudong was where he was stationed.
He shouted sharply: "Why did he go to Liewudong? How many people did he bring with him? Did the Han people's commander-in-chief Le Xin go out?"
King Chanhua's fierce shout frightened the servant, and he trembled and replied: "Master Zhang Dehai brought more than ten light cavalry, one person and three horses out of the city. Master Lexin is still in the general military mansion in the city, and I don't know about Zhang Dehai." What are you going to do when you leave the city?"
The palace lobby, which had been noisy all day long, was now even more chaotic.
Sakyamuni became even more worried. He felt that he could no longer suppress the ambitions of the group of Dharma kings, religious kings and noble monks in the hall.
King Chanhua gathered a large group of people and hurriedly left the palace despite Sakyamuni's obstruction.
Karmapa Karmapa and others were sitting and watching the chaos in the palace, obviously intending to watch Shakya Yixi's jokes.
And some people can no longer restrain their ambitions, and are actually discussing whether to welcome the descendants of Tubo Zampu, who have long been abolished from captivity, back to the Potala Palace from Xiaozhao Temple...
Sakyamuni remained silent publicly, but secretly sent someone to the General Military Mansion.
…
King Chanhua and his troops hurriedly chased Zhang Dehai, the minister who had left the city earlier. I don’t know if it was God’s will. Zhang Dehai seemed to be blessed by God. When he reached the city gate of Liewudong, King Chanhua did not catch up with him. .
Zhang Dehai looked at the low city wall in front of him with a resolute and determined look on his face.
"Enter the city!"
The guards at the city gate did not have the courage to stop the minister sent by the imperial court to reside in Tibet. He was just a slave, not a religious king. He might be chopped down by this noble Han...
Zhang Dehai led more than a dozen guards wearing fine armor and sharp blades, and walked straight into the city towards a house in the north of the city.
According to the information obtained by Long Jinwei, there are more than twenty blond and blue-eyed Westerners living in this house.
These days, the white-haired wind has been blowing on the Uzang Plateau, and the weather has been freezing cold. The Westerners can't stand the cold on the plateau, so they huddle in their houses to warm themselves by the fire, with no one guarding the gate.
Of course, in the eyes of this group of Westerners, they were the owners of this city and the honored guests of King Chanhua.
In the hierarchical Uzang, no one dared to be disrespectful to them, let alone come to King Chanhua's other courtyard to cause trouble...
Bang!
After a loud bang, the door of the house was blown to pieces.
The tallest captain in front of Zhang Dehai weighed the wooden-handled iron lump in his hand, and said happily: "This thing made by the Ministry of Industry is quite easy to use. Such a small iron lump can actually make such a thick iron lump." The door was blown to pieces..."
"Dazhuang, that's it!"
Zhang Dehai looked at the Westerners gradually gathering in the courtyard and stopped his confidants from blabbering.
He coldly pulled out the scribe's sword from his waist and swung it forward: "Quickly kill them, chop them off, and take their heads back to Chaliba. I will show those rebellious people. What are the consequences of fighting against the Celestial Empire!"
