Among the lamas in Chuhe City mentioned by Zhu Cixiang, the one who is most qualified to become a virtuous person in the country is undoubtedly the Mingzhu Lama who came to Chuhe from Mount Wutai to promote Buddhism.
This Pearl Lama is no ordinary lama, he is a lama with a background! His dharma title Mingzhu is taken from his lay name Nalan Mingzhu. Nalan Mingzhu's surname is Yehenala, and her full name is Yehenala. Nalan Mingzhu is the queen of the Ming Dynasty Zhonglie!
What? Nalan Pearl is the queen of Ming Zhonglie? That's right, Nalan Mingzhu's grandfather was Beile of Yehe tribe, named Jin Taiji. He organized nine coalition forces to attack Nurhachi, but unfortunately he was defeated miserably by Nurhachi.
After the Battle of Sarhu, Jintaiji was still loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so he was fiercely attacked by Nurhaci. He was finally defeated in Yehe City and was captured and hanged by the Jianzhou Army. It is said that he cursed before his death, saying: "Even if one of my descendants has a daughter, they will overwhelm Manchuria!".
Look, you are so loyal!
Moreover, Emperor Wanli also believed that he was a loyal martyr. After the destruction of the Ye He tribe, he sent people to look for Jin Taiji's descendants outside the pass, which was the Nalan Pearl, and wanted to find it back and give it to a high official. It's a pity that it was not found... Otherwise, Nalan Mingzhu might have been the hero of the Ming Dynasty in overcoming difficulties.
Although Nalan Mingzhu did not become a hero, the spiritual tablet of Yehenala Jintaiji is still enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine in Yingtian Mansion.
Jin Taiji is a loyal martyr who died and became a saint!
But Nalan Mingzhu didn't know that he missed the opportunity to become a hero in overcoming difficulties, because he did well in the Qing Dynasty during his youth. His father Niyaha was used by Nurhaci after the demise of the Yehe tribe (Nurhachi also wanted to win over the Yehe tribe's hearts), and before Jin Taiji fell out with Nurhaci, he married his sister to Nurhaci and gave birth to a son named Called Huang Taiji!
With this relationship, Nalan Mingzhu certainly did well. He first married Azig's daughter, then became Shunzhi's bodyguard, and even became Shunzhi's confidant. Seeing that a great future is about to be achieved...who knew that the Qing Dynasty would be gone like this!
Before the Qing Dynasty was completely finished, Nalan Mingzhu and Sony's son Suo'etu led a group of the most loyal guards to protect the deposed empress Meng Guqing who slipped out of Beijing, and led the Qing court from A group of unlucky traitors and imperial merchants made their way to Mount Wutai with their wealth.
Arrangements had already been made on Mount Wutai. A Huang Temple in the mountains was taken down by guards sent by Sony. The lamas inside and outside were chopped into pieces and replaced by Shunzhi's confidants. After settling Meng Guqing, Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu went to Shuntian Mansion again and picked up Shunzhi, Sony and others who had slipped out of Beijing. Then go up to Wutai Mountain...
Now that things have reached this point, it is actually considered complete.
Zhu Cixiang would not worry about someone rebelling against the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, so he would not endlessly track down Shunzhi's whereabouts.
Shunzhi also had money. The Huangmiao where he lived was already remote, and no one cared about it during the war. When the world is peaceful, register again and pretend to be Mongolian lamas, and it will be almost stable - Zhu Cihong limits the number of Han and Taoist priests, but does not restrict Mongolians from becoming lamas. In Shunzhi, they all speak Mongolian, so there is no problem in pretending to be Mongolian lamas. As long as you can fool the monks and officials of the Ming Dynasty, nothing will happen.
But Shunzhi just likes to mess around - if he hadn't messed around, Dorgon might still be around now!
Even if he is gone, let Duduo be the emperor's Arma, and after Duduo's death, let Azig be the emperor's Arma, the Qing Dynasty is probably still half-dead!
If the Qing Dynasty was so big, how could a small Huang Temple make Shunzhi stable?
Therefore, brothers Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu could no longer recite sutras properly, and were sent to Chuhe City to pretend to be eminent monks.
Nalan Mingzhu became the Mingzhu Lama, and Suo'etu became the Three Jewels Lama - both Dharma names are auspicious!
The two lamas surrendered to Seng Ge and were given important positions. Because the Beiting Protectorate regime of Seng Ge has always had the problem of being strong in martial arts and weak in civil affairs.
What kind of civilized rule can there be in the Zhungeer tribe? Nomadic tribes don’t need civilized governance either!
But the Beiting Protectorate needs it, and so does Chuhe City!
To change the Jungar tribe into the Jungar Khanate, it is even more necessary to have civil rule.
And what level of characters are Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu? For them, the situation in Chuhe City was really a piece of cake.
And these two great lamas, who helped Sengge manage Chuhe City in an orderly manner, had followed Sengge's order half a month ago and left Chuhe together to go to the junction of the Land of Seven Rivers and the Zhungeer Grassland. , to welcome Galdan who came from afar.
Today, the two of them finally met the "strongest sophomore" from Laoshan Middle School in a newly built lamasery.
"I heard that both of you are lamas from Mount Wutai?" Galdan asked in a stiff Mongolian in a monk's room, after two or three months of traveling but not tired at all.
He learned the names of Mingzhu Lama and Sanbao Lama from Sengge's letter, and also knew that they were very capable. They could not only help manage Chuhe City, but also deal with the Rakshasa Kingdom - this was really impressive. People are amazed!
"I also stayed in Beijing for a while," Suo'etu replied with a smile.
"You know a lot of Donglu dignitaries, right?" Galdan looked at Suo'etu and Mingzhu with bright eyes, as if he wanted to see through them.
However, Suo'etu and Mingzhu remained calm.
Mingzhu smiled and said: "The dignitaries of Donglu believe in lamas. Especially after Dorgon dug up Confucius's grave, lamas became very popular in Beijing."
That's right. Dorgon was cursed for being so tough on his life. How can other dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty feel relieved? Who can’t raise a few lamas to bless them?
Galdan asked again: "Listen to my fifth brother, do you still understand Confucianism and governance?"
Suo'etu smiled and said: "The poor monk has been in Beijing for a long time. He has been here since before the Jiashen year. He knows some Confucian scholars... the three religions belong to the same family!"
"That's good!" Galdan smiled, "The three religions and one family are all under the laws of heaven."
Suo'etu and Mingzhu were both stunned. What did this Galdan say?
Galdan said: "I won't hide it from you two... When I was in the Hexi Corridor, I received letters and books sent by the emperor on a fast horse. In the letter, the emperor told me that he was planning to promote the unification of the three religions. , I want to confer several great lamas from Chuhe City as virtuous lamas. Are you two virtuous? Good or bad?"
This is straightforward enough...
"The two of us..." Mingzhu wanted to be more modest, but Suo'etu beside him saw that Galdan was a cheerful person, so he smiled and replied, "The two of us are the virtuous people of Chuhe! It’s hard to tell elsewhere, but in the Chu River... you’ll know when Hutuktu goes there.”
"Kutuktu," Mingzhu asked, "what good does this virtuous lama do?"
"The emperor's virtuous man," Galdan said, "do you think there is any benefit?" He blinked, "The great lama in the snowy land sent his disciple Sangjie Gyatso to the Central Plains via Qinghai to meet with the great master. The emperor met me in Shaanxi. Sangye Gyatso told me that the great lama had agreed to the emperor's conditions. In the future, the search for reincarnated soul boys would be conducted under the auspices of the ministers sent by the emperor, and the final confirmation would only be confirmed by the emperor's edict. Reincarnation. In addition, all soul boys must study in the Huang Temple in Wutai Mountain for several years, become familiar with the cultural etiquette of the Central Plains, and read the "Confucian Classics" before they can go to the snow-covered plateau to spread the Dharma. Do you two know what this means? ?”
Although Suo'etu and Mingzhu are not real lamas, they still know a lot about the affairs of the Snowy Region. Of course they know what this means? The emergence of the great lama was all under the control of Emperor Zhu, so how could they, the little lamas, honestly support Emperor Zhu?
As Galdan spoke, he took out two "Confucian Classics" and handed them to Suo'etu and Mingzhu, "Do you recognize Chinese characters?"
"I recognize it."
"Of course I do."
Galdan said: "Okay, let's take it and have a look... If you want to be a virtuous lama, you must read the Confucian Classics well. From now on, the Huang Temple in Chuhe must teach people a little bit about the Han people. Just use the Confucian Classics as a textbook."
