Li Junwei looked at Ata and nodded slightly: "You are right, I will do this. In principle, according to the original boundaries and religious distinctions, the diocese of Tibetan Buddhism, the kingdom of Buddha belongs to us, the diocese of Tianfang Buddhism, and the land protected by the Lord of Zhen should be handed over to Hindustan."

"Where is the Kingdom of Naradakh, exist or be destroyed?" Ata asked.

Li Junwei shook his head: "Let him exist."

Regarding the situation in Tibet, the empire's strategy has never been proactive. This time, the rare initiative is not so much about targeting Tibet, but rather maintaining a peace between the Empire and Hindustan. Therefore, Li Junwei does not want to change any roots on the plateau. On the basis of being able to define the sphere of influence for the Empire and Hindustan, Li Junwei at most will allow the empire's influence to be more deeply involved in Tibet.

The reason is very simple. The two most powerful forces in Tibet, the Hoshuot Khanate, and the two Huang Cult leaders, masters and great scholars, both had conflicts with the empire's direct rule of Tibet, but these two forces also expressed their superficial surrender to the empire, and the empire's attitude towards it was not exactly the same. The empire's attitude towards the Hoshuot Khanate was evolution and influence, and they continued to deepen various exchanges with it and deepen their relationship. When treating the two leaders of the Huang Cult, the empire's attitude was very clear - wait!

Among these two leaders of the Yellow Sect, the most influential person in the fifth generation is already sixty-six years old. In Tibet, where the climate and environment are harsh, this age is already considered an absolute long-lasting age. Another fifth generation master was canonized by the empire, only twenty years old, but he was the apprentice of the previous one, living in his shadow.

Obviously, only the death of the leader of the Huang Cult can loosen the power of the Tibetan region, and that is the time for the empire to enter Tibet in a large scale.

Li Junwei took out the text and a talisman from the box and said, "Ata, you go to Leh. If you don't go further, you must be led to Master Zhuqin."

"Master Zhuqin? Is he coming?" Ata's face was a little excited. He knew that Master Zhuqin was the leader of the Kagyu Sect recognized by the Imperial Religion Bureau. Although the Kagyu Sect has many branches, the most prestigious Master Zhuqin was recognized by the empire as the leader of the White Sect.

Li Junwei nodded: "Master Zhuqin made an appointment with me to meet in Kabul, and his safety will be left to you."

"It is my honor to be able to serve such a master." Ata said seriously.

Li Junwei shook his head slightly. Whether Ata was from a foreign vassal or the purest Mongolian, he still respected Tibetan Buddhist monks so much. But this was what Li Junwei was willing to see. Ata could make the master feel comfortable and etiquette.

Two months later, in the snow, the Qiexue cavalry led by Ata finally brought Master Zhuqin to Kabul City. Ata jumped off his war horse and ran to the carriage that Master Zhuqin was riding in, and said, "Dear Master, you have finally arrived. You can get off the car."

Zhu Qin, wearing a monk's robe, came out of the carriage, but it was a big fat man with a solemn appearance, with a trembling body all over his body. As soon as he stood up, Ata immediately half-kneeled beside the car, so that Zhu Qin could get off the car on his knees. Zhu Qin smiled slightly, got out of the car, and said to Ata with a smile: "General Ata, the gods and Buddhas will protect you."

This scene can almost illustrate the relationship between Tibetan Buddhism and secular power. Although Tibetan Buddhism now has four major sects and countless small sects, it is not so incompatible between sects, and it also uses each other with secular regimes. For example, Ata, all the monks of the Yellow Sect he had been in contact with since childhood, but this does not affect his respect for Master Zhuqin of the White Sect, rather than treating him as a heretic. The same is true in religions. For example, the five generations with the greatest power in Tibet are now the leaders of the Yellow Sect, but they follow the rituals of the Red Sect. Which sect of the secular regime chooses depends on the strength of the support of this sect for themselves, and the opposite is true. However, after the rise of the empire and the rule of the grassland, everyone has no choice, or if they choose it, it is a waste of choice.

"Is this Yili City?" Zhu Qin asked in disappointment when he looked at the city with traces of war.

"No, Master, this is Kabul City." Ata explained: "His Royal Highness Yu hopes to meet you here. Unfortunately, the war this city experienced three years ago, so it doesn't look so beautiful, and it's far from Yili City."

"No, it's better to meet here than in Yili." Zhuqin said happily. As the leader of the White Sect, Master Zhuqin knew very well the significance of meeting in Hindustan, which means that King Yu is more inclined to resolve peace rather than war. If it were the latter, then the power of religion could not be compared with the power of the world.

"Master, thank you for your hard work all the way." Li Junwei saw Zhu Qin and was shocked by his fat Maitreya Buddha's aura, but soon felt that this fat man was very friendly.

Zhu Qin bowed and said, "Your Highness Yu is waiting. This is really a blessing for me."

The two of them sat in front of the stove together. Li Junwei looked at Zhu Qin and said with a smile: "When I saw you, I felt like I saw when I was a child, and I was so fat at that time, haha."

Before Zhuqin came to see Li Junwei, he had learned about the character and habits of the empire King Yu through various means, but everything was too ambiguous. Zhuqin believed that Li Junwei was a person with great freedom, but now it seemed that he was more free and easy than he thought. Zhuqin did not come here this time to talk about Buddhism with Li Junwei.

"In this way, it is really rare for me to have a relationship with your nobleman and his wife to be inseparable." Zhu Qin responded seriously, not treating Li Junwei's jokes as an insult at all.

Li Junwei smiled and chatted with Zhu Qin for a while. He found that Zhu Qin not only talked very funny, but also had a wide range of knowledge and a more pleasing personality than many monks of the Yellow Sect that he had seen. No wonder he became the leader of the White Sect. Li Junwei was very satisfied with Zhu Qin. After chatting for a while, he got to the point and asked: "Master, is the Ali area peaceful now?"

"Yes, it is generally peaceful. After receiving your letter, the king of Ladakh, Dedenlangjia, had returned to Leh, but the Mongolian and Tibetan troops led by Galdancewang did not withdraw. Some of the Tianfang Cult troops were also stationed in the old land of Ladakh. They belong to Kashmir King Ibrahi. This requires the great one to issue a clearer mediation order." Zhuqin said with a smile.

Li Junwei shook his head slightly and said, "Master, you are really a wise person."

Li Junwei knew that the situation in the Ali area was not what Zhuqin said. Peace was not just a ceasefire. Ibrahimovic's army did not completely leave the Ladakh Kingdom because it was blocked by the season and heavy snow. Of course, Ibrahimovic also wanted to blackmail Dededen Langjia in the end. However, Ibrahimovic had sent envoys to express his conspiracy to cooperate with King Yu to resolve the dispute in the Ali area.

The only obstacle to peace is that Galdancewang, who represented the Huang Cult, and Ladakh Kingdom, who had not yet formed an armistice agreement, but Derdenlangjia had just returned to the capital Leh and had not yet controlled the whole country, and there was not much left in the army. Although Galdancewang had nearly 6,000 troops under his command, he was also stranded and was defeated several times by Ibrahi's army.

Li Junwei smiled and said, "Master, you only need to come forward to negotiate with Dedenlangjia and Galdancewang to resolve the existing dispute."

Zhu Qin smiled. He was very happy that Li Junwei could see through this at a glance, and also praised the wisdom possessed by the young imperial prince. This is the case. When all three parties had already stopped fighting, the war between the Ladakh Kingdom and the Yellow Sect actually only needed him to mediate as a middleman. But Zhu Qin didn't want this. He believed that establishing a deeper connection with the empire is more beneficial to the interests of the White Sect. Zhu Qin said: "Your Highness, everything is legitimate. How can I interfere with the government? Or you are on behalf of the empire and mediate the struggle between the two vassal states as appropriate. As a monk, I can help you."

Li Junwei also understood what it means to be a hero. The power of the empire is here. If you want to intervene in the Ali area, no one can stop him. Zhuqin didn't want to go against the empire at all. On the contrary, he wanted to take the opportunity to climb this big tree. Zhuqin still remembers that when the empire just attacked the border wall, Chelun was just an inequality monk in Silver Buddha Temple. He was a disciple of the Huang Sect, and showed his power. However, in just a few years, he had grown into the most prestigious master outside Tibet. He had far surpassed the influence of Tibetan leaders on the grassland. Later, Zhebuzundanba and Zhangjia rose one after another, but these were monks of the Huang Sect. For Zhuqin, the White Sect could also take such a path.

"Okay, master, but all this will be resolved next year. How many disciples have you brought this time? I'll ask someone to arrange it for you in the city." Li Junwei asked.

Zhu Qin said, "Sixty disciples."

Li Junwei smiled: "Your Buddhism is indeed profound." Zhu Qin said: "I brought so many people here not to show my monk's Buddhism, but I hope that Baishu can do something for you and the empire, whether it is Kabul City, Yili, or anywhere else, it is OK."

Li Junwei nodded, opened the map and pointed to the city of Samarkand: "This is Samarkand, the pearl of the land in the river. In this autumn, a large piece of land in the west of Samarkand was handed over to two Ata's subordinates from the slave Wanhu of the emperor's elder brother, and established two state-owned farms. The state-owned farms are all Slavs. They believe in God, but I hope they are inspired and bathed in Buddhism. Master Zhuqin, if you are not afraid of danger and cold, you can go to Samarkand. I can have someone pack up a temple to let you and your disciples live, and the people on the farm also need your help in faith."

"This is my honor, the noble Prince Yu." Master Zhuqin said with a smile.

"Then please, please." Li Junwei responded: "You can rest here for a while, and Ata will escort you to Samarkand. Unfortunately, because of the earthly affairs, it disrupted the priest and disciples' cultivation."

"Your Highness is such a bad word." Zhu Qin said with a smile: "I am a monk and my disciples who practice in the temple. What we have achieved is only the liberation of our own. This is a small liberation. This time we leave the temple to serve King Yu, so that the people around us can be liberated. This is true liberation and great liberation."

Li Junwei smiled. This person is indeed a person worthy of cooperation.

Zhuqin left Li Junwei's residence and was arranged by Ata in the inn. Ata explained: "Master, Kabul is the ruler of Emperor Hindustan. Although he is the brother of His Highness Yu, he is no longer the Buddha's kingdom. The people here have a completely different beliefs and religions. Although that emperor can accommodate all beliefs and religions, people in Kabul may not allow it. Therefore, when you walk in the city, don't pay attention to those foolish men and women. If there is nothing else, try not to go out to avoid causing trouble."

After hearing Ata's words, Zhuqin smiled: "Ata, you're worried. I only stayed here for two days. After resting and replenishing supplies, I will go to Samarkand with you. His Highness Yu has already allowed me to go to several state-owned farms to spread Buddhism, but I don't know what a state-owned farm is."

Ata smiled and said, "So that's the case. It's great to have your help. As for the state-owned farm, it is a special organizational structure under the jurisdiction of the ministers stationed in the border areas. The state-owned farms are all men. They are Slavs captured by His Royal Highness Yu from the distant Rakshasa Kingdom. They do not believe in Buddha, but have a population of more than 200,000.

His Highness Yu did not want the land of the empire to be contaminated by pagan evil gods, so he gathered these people together and did not kill them. Instead, he allocated the land for cultivation, but sent all the priests away. They were asked to cultivate and reclaim the land, settle the border, and the masters could go there to spread Buddhism. Although you are not the same as the masters of the Religious Bureau, in the eyes of His Highness Yu, all the masters are worthy of respect."

"Is that true? Will I meet the monks of the Yellow Sect to argue with the scriptures?" Zhu Qin asked.

"No, of course not!" Ata said with a smile: "Not only can, if you can really help Your Highness Yu, your Highness will also give back to you. For example, Master Zhangjia, who followed Your Highness Yu's expedition to the west, obtained a population of 20,000 and more than 100,000 acres of land after the war. There were many Slavs under the rule of King Yu. If you can influence them, you can also become the masters of these slaves and support you and your disciples."

Zhu Qin originally wanted to obtain the right to preach outside Tibet, but she never thought that even the population and land could be obtained. How could she be unhappy? She asked: "Really, can the White Sect get all this?"

"Of course, all masters are qualified. In the eyes of His Highness Yu, the difference between you and the Huang Sect masters is only whether you are loyal or not, not Buddhism. Your mediation of the war in the Ladakh Kingdom is itself a test of loyalty."
