"I have also heard that these two lamas are not only proficient in Buddhism, but also proficient in Confucianism, and also know a little bit about fighting. They are rare talents! With them assisting Sengge, the Jungar Kingdom should be able to grow bigger."
When Zhu Cixiang mentioned the word "get bigger", Galdan became a little nervous and said quickly: "No matter how big the Zhungeer Kingdom becomes, it will also be a vassal of the Celestial Dynasty. I will never dare to have second thoughts."
"I know, I know," Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded, "I know that Sengge doesn't dare. Sengge has been in the western border for a long time. He knows that the Yellow Sect is difficult and the Mongols are weak. Without the protection of the Celestial Empire, they will sooner or later become the victims of the heavenly kingdoms or Rakshasa. The country is destroyed!”
"What your Majesty said is extremely good," Galdan said, "Brother Chen also told me the same thing."
In history, it was not Sengge who was disloyal, but Galdan in front of Emperor Zhu!
Different from the Sangha, Galdan has a godhead... Hutuktu! Of course, he is more awesome, so he dreams of restoring the Great Mongolia, but ignores the powerful enemies in the west.
And now the Sengge, driven by Zhu Cihong, Galdan, Mingzhu Lama, Sanbao Lama and others, has pointed the finger of expansion at the Bukhara Khanate, and also wants to establish a Jungar Kingdom, which will cause a lot of headaches in the future. ——How can the Tianfang believers in Central Asia be so easy to get along with? Those who believe in the Buddha are causing so much hatred! With the strength of the Zhungeer tribe, it would not have been able to last for a few years without the support of the Celestial Empire.
If Sengge wants to conquer Khalkha Mongolia again, he is really out of his mind. The Jungar Khanate in history was so stupid that it gave outsiders an advantage. Galdan was really a sinner of Mongolia and the Yellow Sect!
In addition, once the Sengge king becomes comfortable, he will become the landlord of Tashkent, Chuhe, and Kokand. How can he still be nomadic? How hard is it to be a nomad?
Zhu Cixiang looked at Galdan, paused and said, "Have the separation of Zhungeer and Heshuote been settled?"
In order to establish a kingdom, Zhungeer must split from Heshuote. If Heshuote is removed from the Wala Alliance, then the Choros family will be able to dominate and become king without any problem. If Heshuote is not eliminated, then the leftovers of this golden family will pose a lasting threat to the Choros family - the Mongols are like this, and they can never forget the glory of Genghis Khan's empire!
"It has been agreed," Galdan said, "the Heshuote section will cover half of the Ili Valley and the pastures between the Altai Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains. Erdeni Hutaiji, the son of Oqil Tuhan, also came to attend. God, your majesty can summon him to the palace to inquire."
"Proclaim Erdeni Hutai Ji, Redan Taiji, and the Great Lama of Snowland." Zhu Cixiang summoned three people as soon as he opened his mouth. In addition to the eldest son of Ertu Khan of Erqil, he also announced Dayan, the Khan of the Heshuote tribe in Tibet. The eldest son of Ozil Khan, Redantaiji, and the great lama of Snowland.
These three people were waiting for Emperor Zhu to summon them outside Huangji Hall, so they came in immediately. The leader is a big lama, about forty years old, with a round face, a high nose, a mustache, dark skin, wearing cassocks, and a yellow pointed monk hat. He has a solemn appearance and must be the Supreme of the Snow Region The great lama.
After seeing Zhu Cihong, the great lama did not kneel down, but bowed in obeisance and spoke in Chinese: "Poor monk Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, I sincerely wish the great emperor a long life!"
"Give me a seat!" Zhu Cixi smiled and gave the great lama a seat.
The two Taijis, Erdeni and Redan, who came in with the great lama, had to kneel down and kowtow. They followed the courtesy of the monarch and ministers and were given seats after the worship. Both of these two Taijis were wearing official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Redan Taiji was very young, only in his twenties. Erdeni is relatively old, in his forties or fifties.
Unlike the great lama who can speak fluent Chinese, the two of them cannot speak Chinese, so Galdan acts as the translator.
"Grand Lama, have you met the emperor?" Zhu Cixiang did not talk about military and state affairs, but asked about the meeting between the Grand Lama and Chongzhen.
"I've already met the Supreme Emperor..." The Great Lama had a pair of bulging eyes. He stared at Zhu Cixi carefully when he spoke, then suddenly nodded and said, "As expected!"
"how?"
The great lama stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhu Cihong again, "Meet the great emperor Hutuktu!"
"Am I also a Hutuktu?" Zhu Cixiang asked with a smile.
Hutuktu contains two meanings, one is the reincarnation - refers to the reincarnation with the memory of the previous life; the other is the supreme saint.
The two meanings added together are the reincarnation of the Supreme Being!
So Zhu Cixi is a Hutuktu!
"Your Majesty is the reincarnation of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Of course he is Hutuktu, but..." The great lama narrowed his eyes at this time and looked at Zhu Cihong carefully, as if he saw something was wrong.
"But what?" Zhu Cixiang asked.
"But your Majesty is not the second generation..." The Great Lama nodded, "Your Majesty should be the reincarnation of many generations of Taizu Gao Emperor. The specific number of generations, even the poor monk cannot tell."
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Maybe more than ten generations!"
"Isn't it possible?" The great lama shook his head, "One generation will take fifty years, ten generations will take 500 years, and ten generations will take six to seven hundred years..."
"Oh?" Zhu Cixiang asked with a smile, "Does the Grand Lama think reincarnation can only be from the past to the future, but not from the future to the past?"
"Ah..." The great lama was stunned.
The true meaning of Buddhism is emptiness!
Since everything is empty, why can't time be empty?
"The great emperor is indeed a real Hutuktu... The poor monk has learned a lesson!"
Zhu Cixi smiled: "Great Lama, you are also a real Hutuktu! I want to keep you for a while, is that okay?"
"This is exactly what the poor monk means!" Of course the great lama would not refuse. After agreeing to Zhu Cihong, he said to the two Taijis in Mongolian: "The great emperor is also Hutuktu!"
The Great Lama is the leader of the Yellow Sect. To these two Taijis, his words represent the Buddha, and of course they dare not disobey them. I saw two Mongolian Taijis wearing Ming Dynasty official uniforms immediately stood up and bowed to Zhu Cihong...
Zhu Cixiang smiled: "Since you worship me so much, you should also listen to what I say, otherwise you will not be able to bear the anger of the Great Emperor Hutuktu!"
His words were translated into Mongolian by Galdan, and the two Taijis naturally promised repeatedly - even if the emperor was not Hutuktu, they would not be able to fight against him.
Zhu Cixiang said: "I appointed Eqiltu as the Beiting Protector of the Ming Dynasty, and established the Beiting Protectorate between the Ili River Valley, the Tianshan Mountains, and the Altai Mountains. The headquarters of the Protectorate was located in the Ili River Valley, and the imperial court funded the construction of Yining. The city is for the use of the Beiting Protectorate.
In addition, the imperial court will send troops to Yining to protect the Beiting Protectorate! "
His words were translated into Mongolian again, and Oqirtu's son Erdeni Hutaiji once again worshiped and said: "I thank the great emperor Hutuktu for his grace!"
Zhu Cixiang then said: "I have appointed Dayan Eqil as the envoy of Uzang, to rule over the land of Uzang and to be stationed in Lhasa.
In addition, the imperial court will also send troops to Lhasa to protect the peace of Uzbek monks and laypeople! "
Redantaiji did not expect that Emperor Zhu wanted to garrison troops in Uzang. He was a little undecided for a moment, so he looked at the great lama.
The great lama had already stood up and performed the Buddhist salute to Zhu Cihong: "The great emperor Hutuktu sent troops to Tibet. It is really a blessing for the monks and laypeople of Uzbekistan. The poor monk is very grateful!"
The great lama was extremely grateful, and Redantaiji had no choice but to kowtow quickly and say, "I would also like to thank the Great Emperor Hutuketu for his grace!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said, "Sit down and talk... I still have something to say to you."
He paused and saw several people sitting down, then said: "Now the Mongols and the Yellow Sect have come under my control. From now on, the Han people, the Mongols, and the Uzbeks are all one family. And the Yellow Sect and the Han Sect are all one family." Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are all part of the same family. However, a family may not necessarily have no conflicts at all, and even fighting is within reason.
But I hope you will keep in mind that the Western religions and countries are outsiders after all. If they are allowed to succeed, there will be no Mongolia and no Yellow Sect! "
