He came out in a hurry this time and had no time to collect any good things from other temples. I can only stay in the temple and bring what I think is the best. I saw Bai Jiao and his party in the Huitong Hall before, and they actually brought a large number of women with them. He and his accompanying disciples once mocked the Bai Jiao and came to meet the representative of the Great Emperor, the future emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, and brought a group of women with him.
Where does this look like a monk? Although tantric monks are not allowed to marry, some tantric sects disdain monks and do things like concubines in private. But as a so-called virtuous eminent monk, you brought such a group of women with you on your trip. Of course it was just for show, but in the eyes of the Han people, how did you look like a monk? It is true that Tibetan monks can get married, but Han monks are not allowed to get married.
Although everyone is not very clean in private, they still apply what they did in Tubo to the Han area, and they are still afraid that others will not know about it, so they make it so conspicuous. Those who knew it were that you were showing off, but those who didn't know it thought you were bringing a group of concubines. From this point alone, you, the Baijiao, are inferior in some aspects. Do you think that everyone will obey those nobles who obey your words?
So he, who had been secretly laughing at Bai Jiao, didn't think about anything else at all. However, after discovering that the prince was not interested in his tribute, even though he was well-known in the Red Sect for being well-informed and profound in Buddhism on the snow-covered plateau, at this time, he had no idea at the moment. But Bo Nanjue, who was sitting opposite him, was laughing secretly when he looked at him with a depressed look on his face.
Those things that you Red Sect pay tribute to are indeed the supreme magic weapons in Tubo. But when it comes to Han people's territory, it's really scary. You give these things, thinking they are the best things. Little did they know that the Buddhism believed by the Han people was different from that of the Tubo people. They will definitely not like these things you give them, and no one is willing to carry those kind of rosary beads.
Even if you continue to advocate, what's the use of blessing those magic weapons with supreme magic power. People stay away from these magic weapons, so who cares if they have any magic power? Your Red Sect has always been arrogant and arrogant by taking advantage of the hinterland of Tubo and the support of those big slave owners. They desperately suppress sects that adhere to different doctrines, but they forget that the snow-covered plateau is not the only place in the world where Buddhism can be promoted.
Having had no contact with the outside world for a long time, I had no idea that the customs of the Han people were completely different from those of the Tubo people. Buddhist disciples in Han China, no matter they are Zen or Pure Land sect, do not agree with Tantric Buddhism at all. In Han China, the set of Tantric Buddhist teachings is simply unpalatable. It can be said that you have come to the wrong place to send these things. I don’t even know what the princes and grandsons of the Han people like.
But after all, he was a wily and sophisticated figure. The leader of the White Sect, although in his heart, he greatly mocked these tributes from the Red Sect. But on the surface, he still pretended to be nonchalant, his face still looking solemn. It was as if these tributes from the Red Sect were priceless treasures. As for the truth, what the prince really likes, he will not say a word to the Red Sect.
Huang Qiong was really not interested in paying tribute to those rare magical artifacts in the eyes of Tantric Buddhism, which indeed made Sopoche a little frustrated. Just as Bonanjue thought, the Red Sect had been preaching in the hinterland of Tubo and had almost no contact with the Han region. I really know everything about the customs and habits of the Han people. These supreme magic weapons in his eyes made Huang Qiong's hair stand on end.
Fortunately, Huang Qiong did not make Sopoche depressed for too long. He smiled at the living Buddha of the Red Sect and said: "Your sect is very considerate of these gifts. Although I don't understand the teachings of Tantric Buddhism very well, I also know that these are All magical weapons can only be cultivated by great virtuous monks. Only people with great wisdom are worthy of holding them. Don’t worry, I will definitely present all these gifts from your sect to my father.”
Under Huang Qiong's comfort, Sopoche's originally depressed expression suddenly became much better. After shouting the Buddha's name to Huang Qiong, he said a few words very humbly, saying that only the great emperor was worthy of possessing this supreme magical weapon. But after hearing Huang Qiong's words, Bonan Jue was so anxious that he scratched his head and head. His tributes were much richer and more attractive than those of the Red Sect.
It's just that at this time, it's really not suitable to present it in this crowded hall, so it can only be presented to the prince alone. After reciting a long paragraph of thoughts silently in my heart, I calmed myself down. Bonanjue looked at Soboche opposite with a sneer. Thinking of his tributes, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: "I still haven't realized that I am just saying this to appease you."
"Do you really think that this master in front of you can be fooled by your tributes? This is Han land, not the Tubo mainland that your Red Sect relies on. When the tributes of this Dharma King are presented, let's see who this prince likes. A tribute? I’m afraid you, the Red Sect, won’t even have time to cry by then. But you can’t blame others for this. Who told you not to inquire about their preferences before setting off?”
Although this meeting was very lively. Huang Qiong was also very enthusiastic towards the Tubo clan leaders and leaders. However, Huang Qiong, who used both soft and hard tactics at the banquet, hinted that the alliance flag system was inevitable, but also used some promises to calm the emotions of the clan leaders. After the banquet, although the clan leaders and leaders had not yet given their final nod, Huang Qiong believed that there was basically no problem.
Especially the two masters of the Red and White Sects are now eager to gain the support of the imperial court and will definitely cooperate fully in this matter. What's more, setting up a separate Lama flag can further expand their power, which will only benefit them and not cause any harm. As long as these two religions are willing to cooperate, the implementation of the alliance flag system may not really encounter much resistance.
After sending away the clan leader and leader who were all a bit drunk, Huang Qiong looked at the two living Buddhas who stayed behind. After thinking for a while, Huang Qiong said to himself: "I just drank a lot, and I also had a lot of wine. Now I really can't do it." Let’s discuss Buddhism with the two living Buddhas at the same time. In this way, I will discuss Buddhism with Sopo Living Buddha first. As for Bonan Living Buddha, I will rest for a while, and I will ask Bonan Living Buddha for Buddhist teachings later.”
After seeing the clan leaders and leaders sent away, Huang Qiong's face, which had always been smiling, was now calm. Moreover, the eyes he looked at were extremely sharp, like two sharp knives. Even though he was really unwilling to give up, the Living Buddha Bonangjue could only follow Huang Qiong's request and go to another side hall to rest in the company of the Minister of Rites.
Huang Qiong went to the Wanchun Hall with the Sopoche Living Buddha in front of him. When he arrived at Wanchun Hall, he signaled the eunuch beside him to serve tea and left. Huang Qiong stood up and paced back and forth in the Wanchun Hall for a long time before looking up at the great living Buddha in front of him and said calmly: "Master, this time I have not hesitated to travel through mountains and rivers, and climbed over countless snow-capped mountains. Come to our university." I met the few people in Xijing of the Qi Dynasty."
"It goes without saying that the purpose of the master's visit is clear to me. However, master, I have something ugly to say first. The dispute between the noble sect and the white sect is an internal matter within Buddhism, and the imperial court will not interfere. And the red sect's Whether Buddhism can be passed on depends on the Red Sect itself. However, in my opinion, a huge snowy plateau can still accommodate both the Noble Sect and the White Sect to promote Buddhism at the same time."
"Even if I send troops or take other measures to help you suppress the Bai Sect, can you guarantee that other sects will not appear on the entire Snowy Plateau? I have heard that there are still people on the Snowy Plateau. Is there a flower sect that is slowly spreading now? The master is now so wary of the white sect. This shows that since ancient times, wherever there are people, there will always be differences, and monks are no exception.
"Although the masters say that Buddhism is profound, they may not really be able to escape from the mortal world and not be among the five elements. Sometimes, simple exclusion may not be effective. Whether it is the red sect or the white sect, they are all my disciples of the Buddha, and we still need to be tolerant and inclusive of each other. That's good. Isn't Buddhism all about tolerance? Of course, your religion really needs the help of the imperial court, so naturally the imperial court will not really stand by and watch."
"It's just that the Red Sect mainly promotes Buddhism in the hinterland of Tubo. Even if the court wants to support it, I'm afraid it's beyond its reach. The master is a virtuous and eminent monk, so he naturally knows that when the Han people from the mainland arrive in the hinterland of Tubo, not many can adapt. In addition, there are not many people who can adapt to the situation. There is a supply problem. A hundred thousand troops go out to fight, but the return may be less than one or two. The imperial court is now powerless when it comes to the snowy plateau far away from the middle-earth."
Sopoche resisted rolling his eyes at Huang Qiong's words. With his great wisdom, he couldn't tell that this was the prince here negotiating terms with him. Speaking of the Han people, they are indeed seriously unaccustomed to the hinterland of Tubo. If ten people come to Tubo, it would be good if three or four people survive. But among the Tubo tribes in Qingtang, which tribe was controlled by the imperial court?
Not counting the nomadic Liugu tribe in the Qilian Mountains, the three tribes of Qingtang Tubo, Achai, Tuosima, and Jisiluo, numbered a full 300,000. As long as you have good support from the court and are given enough ordnance and armor, you can organize at least 50,000 cavalry at any time. Isn't this what the Red Sect is most taboo about, the White Sect, which originated from Qingtang and is supported by most of the slave owners in Qingtang?
Without the threat of these tribal cavalry, the Red Sect, which is now extremely prosperous in the hinterland of Tubo, would never take the White Sect seriously. Although within these tribes, the various tribes usually disobey each other and have been doing their own thing for a long time. But if you, the Qi court, come forward, the slave owners of the three tribes will still be willing to send troops. In other words, they are so close to you that they dare not not send troops.
The 50,000 cavalrymen currently support the Red Sect the most, but at the most, the Guge Kingdom has only 100,000 people. Even if it uses all its troops, it still does not have so many soldiers. What's more, the snowy plateau is now torn apart, and those big slave owners from other tribes are busy conquering each other in order to compete for pastures, fields, craftsmen, and even women? Fifty thousand cavalry are enough to sweep across the entire plateau.
Right now, the entire Red Sect is most worried about the Qingtang tribes. Those leaders and clan leaders have been instigated by the White Sect and sent troops to the hinterland of Tibet. And the headmaster of the Bai Sect, Po Nanjue, is a great person, and I don’t know where he came up with a set of fallacies. He spread his distorted meanings of my Buddhist scriptures, coupled with his tantric dual cultivation, which is very popular. The big slave owners and clan leaders in Qingtang welcomed him.
Although the Red Sect has always despised it, the White Sect uses Fangzhongshu to attract followers. But no matter how you say it, the current development of the White Sect has made the Red Sect really feel threatened. Even if the Buddha's light shines everywhere, it needs force to support it. That's why the Red Sect is desperately trying to develop into the Qingtang area in order to suppress the current development momentum. The somewhat fast White Sect has been worried about this.
What surprised Sopoche, the living Buddha of the Red Sect, was that the prince of Daqi didn't seem to buy into the Red Sect's overtures. Does he really not know how powerful the Red Sect is in the hinterland of Tubo? In several countries in Tubo, the prime ministers were all Red Sect monks. It can even be said that the Red Sect in those countries controls most of the power. If the Red Sect doesn't nod, the king won't be able to sit still.
