Chapter 355 Padmasambhava enters Tibet

Although Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. has contribution points, the game’s open test qualifications are only at the beginning of the month.

Obviously, the two elders want to enter the game, but they have to wait until next month.

Shang Qixin'er was defeated, and the Tuyuhun area fell into the hands of the Tang family.

The news finally reached Luozhe, the capital of Tubo.

When the news reached Trisong Detsen's ears, Trisong Detsen just nodded lightly to express his understanding.

After the envoy delivering the military order left, the beads in Trisong Detsen's hand fell to the ground.

"Shang Qi's heart misunderstood me!"

Trisong Detsen roared in pain, like a wounded beast.

The Tuyuhun area was a land that was only occupied during the old Zampu period. Losing it to his own hands was a huge blow to Trisong Detsen's prestige.

In particular, Shang Qixin'er is now assisting Trisong Detsen in promoting Buddhism.

Now those anti-Buddhist ministers are coming out again!

Trisong Detsen looked at the broken beads in his hand and said to the attendants beside him:

"Didn't the Buddha also bless Master Shantarakshita?"

Neither the left or right bird messengers could answer this question.

Trisong Detsen said: "Perhaps Master Shantarakshita's Dharma is not refined enough, so he sent people to Tianzhu to invite another master to Tibet."

"As you command, great god Zanpu!"

Monk Shantarakshita is almost the leader of the entire Tubo Buddhism. Now that his life and death are unknown, for the Buddhists in the entire royal city, it means they have lost their leader.

Trisong Detsen immediately ordered his men to go to Tianzhu to invite another eminent monk to join Tibet. On the one hand, he wanted to strengthen his attitude towards promoting Buddhism, and on the other hand, he also reassured the ministers who supported Buddhism.

After the bird envoys dispersed, Trisong Detsen picked up the beads on the ground.

This string of beads was presented to Trisong Detsen by Master Shantarakshita after he entered Tibet. It is said that these beads were used by the Buddha.

Picking up a bunch of bright Buddhist beads from the stone slab, Trisong Detsen's thinking became clearer and clearer.

The Tuyuhun area was lost, and one of the Four Directions was killed in battle.

This is undoubtedly a huge earthquake that can shake the stability of Tubo.

Things have already happened, and there is no point in feeling upset anymore.

After Trisong Detsen calmed down, he began to think about how to solve this problem.

Recapture Tuyuhun?

Chisong Dezan shook his head. This time the Tang army came well prepared. It might not be that easy to recapture Tuyuhun.

Moreover, it is almost autumn now. If the war continues into winter, the bitter and cold winter in Tubo will be quite unfavorable to the attackers.

More importantly, with the death of Shang Qixin'er, the Tubo royal court once again faced an imbalance.

Trisong Detsen lost a major supporter, and it was time for Bon and anti-Buddhist ministers to take action.

As expected by Trisong Dezan, the anti-Buddhist minister in Zamputing, Zhongbajie of Lunma Township, first stated that the Tuyuhun area was lost because of Shang Qixin'er's "faithful belief in Buddhism".

Zhongbajie of Lunmaxiang proposed that all Tibetan monks should be expelled, all Buddhist temples should be destroyed, and Bon rituals should be used to perform sacrifices again, so that the anger of the gods could be appeased and Tubo could be blessed again.

In the Zangpu Court, Trisong Detsen lived high on the throne of Zanpu, watching his ministers argue, but did not express any opinions.

It was not until Nandao Da Lun Shang Jiezan, who had returned to the royal city to report on his work, that he stood up that the discussion was finally concluded.

Shang Jiezan said directly in Zanputing: "Shang Qi Xin'er's tragic defeat has nothing to do with his devotion to Buddhism, but the incompetence of the Lu family!"

"It was the incompetent Bu Lu who failed to live up to the expectations of the great god Zanpu and gave up the host road to the Tang people."

"I ask the god Zanpu to confiscate the Lu family's property and deprive them of their noble status!"

Shang Jiezan's speech finally returned the religious debate to a political debate.

Both the ministers of the Buddhist sect and the ministers of the anti-Buddhist sect focused their attention on the legacy of Shang Qixin'er's family.

The Bulu family where Shang Qixin'er belongs is also one of the most powerful families in Tubo.

The Bulu family not only owned the Tuyuhun area, but also owned manors and fields in other parts of Tubo.

There are many ministers without Lu who hold important positions in Zamputing, but they were not specially invited to attend today's meeting.

Only then did everyone notice that Shang Qixin'er's fall would leave a lot of space.

Even the anti-Buddhist minister Lunma Xiang Zhongbajie was attracted by the huge vacuum after the fall of Wu Lu.

The power of Tubo is hereditary. The number of lands, slaves, and positions a family can control is related to the rise and fall of the family.

No matter what position a minister takes, expanding the family is the top priority.

Shang Jiezan directly pointed out the fate of the Lu family after Shang Qixin'er died.

Zamputing quickly stopped the quarrel, and Trisong Detsen issued Zamputing's order.

Without Shang Qixin'er, the head of the Lu family, he failed to live up to the heavy burden of the god Zanpu and lost the eastern Tubo region.

All the property owned by the Lu family in Tubo must be dedicated to the great god Zanpu to wash away the family's shame.

However, all the ministers of the Lu family who held positions in Zamputing were imprisoned. They could use their private property to redeem their lives, but they would all be expelled from the royal city.

The inspection work was entrusted to Shang Jiezan, the great master of Nandao, and the two great masters of Zanputing assisted Shang Jiezan in searching his house.

After settling the dispute, Trisong Detsen breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the battle for Phoben continued, and Trisong Detsen also understood that it was time to decide the winner.

He said to the anti-Buddhist leader Lunma Xiang Zhongbajie:

"Whether it is Buddhism or Bon religion, they are the cornerstone of our Tubo religion. Ben Zanpu originally wanted to put the two religions on the same level."

Lun Masiang Zhongbajie lowered his head, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Bon religion was originally the religion of Tibet. Invaders like Buddhism took food from the Bon religion. How could the Bon religion coexist peacefully with Buddhism?

Trisong Detsen said again:

"But just like there can't be two great suns in the sky, Buddhism and Bonism will always have to differentiate themselves."

"Master Padmasambhava will enter the royal city at the end of the month. I intend to prepare a debate between Bon priests and Buddhist masters."

"If Buddhism wins, then all monks will be able to preach in Tubo without hindrance, and all Tubo people will be free to convert to Buddhism."

"If the Bon religion wins, Ben Zanpu will expel all monks and prohibit the spread of Buddhism in Tubo."

"What do you think?"

Zhongbajie of Lunmaxiang heard Zanpu's statement and thought about it carefully.

If Buddhism wins, it will only gain the opportunity to preach freely.

Even if it fails, it will be the same as before, and once it wins, Buddhism can be completely driven out of Tubo.

Zhongbajie of Lunmaxiang secretly made up his mind. This was an opportunity to completely defeat Buddhism.

So Zhongbajie of Lunma Township immediately said: "The decision of the god Zanpu is extremely wise. I think Bon scholars should be summoned to the royal city immediately."

Trisong Detsen also nodded and said: "This Zampu thinks so too. Do you have any recommendations for Lunma Xiang Zhongbajie?"

Zhongbajie of Lunma Township immediately said: "I heard that there is a Bon religious master named Xiangri Ule who is proficient in all the rituals of Bon religion. He can be summoned to the royal city to participate in the debate on behalf of Bon religion."

"Can."

This Zamptine meeting has finally come to an end.

After the meeting, Shang Jiezan immediately led his soldiers and rushed to Wu Lu's mansion and manor in the royal city, and began to capture Wu Lu's clan members.

Even the Lu family is a family that has made great achievements for generations. The strength of the family should not be underestimated.

They have mansions inside the royal city and manors outside the royal city.

When Shang Qixin'er was in power, the children other than the Lu family were all arrogant and offended many people from other families.

But they don't know that the foundation of their power has collapsed.

In the rules of Tubo Zamputing's game, losing power means you are out.

Shang Qixin'er died in the battle, and the Tubo East Road fell into the hands of King Jianning.

What Tubo Zanputing thought of was to divide Shang Qixin'er's property.

This has to be said to be a very ironic thing.

However, in Tubo, it is natural law to prey on the weak and the strong. I do not want to place any charges on Wu Lu. The weakest person occupying a high position is the biggest original sin.

The sound of killing and howling in the royal city lasted all day and night.

Of the eleven ministers who did not serve in Zamputing, only one of them gave up his property to atone for his crime, and the others died under Shang Jiezan's sword.

The Lu family owned seventeen mansions in the royal city, and the twenty manors outside the city were all handed over to Trisong Detsen for disposal.

The "generous" Trisong Dezan gave ten mansions and ten manors to reward other important ministers.

All members of the Lu family were reduced to the lowest level of Wenmo (slave).

All these Wenmo were rewarded to Shang Jiezan to express the reward given by the god Zanpu to Shang Jiezan.

Another news also spread quickly. At the end of the month, the eminent monk Padmasambhava invited from Tianzhu will enter the royal city.

At that time, Padmasambhava will represent Buddhism and have a debate with representatives of Bon religion.

Everyone knows that the outcome of this debate will profoundly affect the future development of Tibet.

But the problem with the hanging rail is that Shang Qixin'er lost the entire territory of the Eastern Tubo Road, but no minister advocated sending troops to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Even Trisong Detsen kept silent on this matter, and only ordered the castle owners in the area bordering the Tubo East Road to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the Tang army from pursuing the victory.

At the same time, the construction of Jishishan Mantouling Fortress was finally completed.

By mastering this fortress, Qinchuan would have blocked the main route for Tibet to send troops to the east of Tibet, and would be able to completely control the Tuyuhun area!

Qinchuan breathed a sigh of relief. Tubo's response was indeed very slow. Now that the fortress has been built, there is no need to worry about Tibet sending troops.

Qin Chuan and his newly promoted staff officer Zhang Nan said:

"Autumn is coming soon, and it seems that Tibet will not launch a large-scale attack."

Zhang Nan also nodded and said: "It seems that the Tibetan people also have great internal conflicts."

Qin Chuan nodded: "That's for sure, but the Tubo people endured it because Shang Qixin'er built the Tubo East Road into an independent kingdom. For Tubo Zampu, there is no loss if the Tubo East Road is lost, but if we seize it

When we come back, we will send out real troops."

"But Tubo is a military state. Once they resolve their internal conflicts, they will definitely send troops. We must be ready to fight at any time."

Zhang Nan nodded: "By the way, that Padmasambhava, isn't he very powerful? Qin Da, you said that monk Yuantong abandoned Tianqian City and insisted on sneaking into the Tubo King's City. Do you want to learn the Joy Zen from Padmasambhava?

?”

Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "Who knows, that monk always does things secretly."
