Chapter 456 Private operation
Although it was a helpless move for Sangjie Gyatso to let Jiang Yang Zaba pretend to be his master, Jiang Yang Zaba did have a Buddhist connection with his master. The two looked quite similar and were of the same age. They fooled monks like Keer who had never seen his master's true face in twenty years, but they could also fool them. However, Jiang Yang Zaba finally had to agree to the request made by Sangjie Gyatso.
"Mr. Diba, how long will it take for me to pretend like this?" Jiang Yangzaba asked carefully. After thinking about it, he had an answer in his mind: "Is it time to find the reincarnated spirit child for your master?"
Sang Jie Gyatso's eyes shot straight into Jiangyang Zaba, making the elderly monk dare not look at each other. Sang Jie Gyatso said: "Everything I did is to inherit the will of Master. For the great cause of the Huang Sect, there are now Khan Khan who seized power in Tibet, and there are Han people who covet it outside. Even the great masters are unable to connect with the Han people. Only when a new master can become a leader, can I truly deserve my master."
When Jiang Yang Zaba heard this, he could only sigh. Sang Jie Gyatso said this. It was not just as simple as finding a reincarnated spirit child, but also cultivating spirit child to adulthood. That was fifteen or even twenty years, and he was already sixty years old. It seemed that the second half of his life was destined to be devoted to this matter.
But what can Jiangyang Zaba? Although the Dibasanjie Gyatso in front of him has only been Diba for less than eight years, his tentacles have penetrated into the entire Yellow Cult system. After he became an adult, he has always been the most beloved person of his master. How many people can resist him in Tibet?
Jiang Yang Zaba thought about it and found that there were only Khan Peng Chuk and the Great Master, but these two people would not help him.
Yili City.
"You have been in charge of Ali. The Potala Palace did not refuse, but just delayed for half a month..... Just like the appointment when Lord Sangjie Gyatso was appointed as Diba, this notice will be circulated on the monks of the three major temples. In Lhasa, the full text of the announcement was also written on the south wall of the Deyang Xiajiao Hall at the entrance of the main entrance of the Potala Palace. This appointment announcement is the original text. After the announcement, it can be handed over to the Office of the Ministers of the Empire in Western Xinjiang to submit it to the Lifan Academy......" The envoy sent by Galdancewang to Tibet brought good news. He told Galdancewang seriously about the appointment, but Galdancewang's eyes were staring at the bottom of the notice.
There was a pair of golden handprints. In theory, they should belong to people in the fifth world, but they looked a little unusual. Galdancewang felt the quiet around him, smiled slightly, put away the notice, and asked, "Is there anything unusual about Tibet during this period? Is it a great scholar or a great khan Chuk in Lhasa?"
"Not one." said the messenger.
When Galdancewang heard this, he frowned again: "Don't you think it's wrong? This appointment was so smooth. The great scholar and the Khan did not come forward to persuade him. Why did the master agree so simply?"
The envoy thought for a while: "A strange thing happened. The monks from the Three Great Temples and Thirteen Forests went to the Potala Palace together to ask for a meeting with the master, but in the end only Ker, who was beside the master, saw it. The Potala Palace kept saying that the master was sitting in silence. Before Ker met the master, there was chaos in Tibet. Many people said that the master had passed away, but Master Ker exposed this lie."
"Are you a lie?" Galdancewang shook his head slightly after thinking deeply. He called the two little monks who served him and asked them to find all the documents they carried with him. The two of them rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and finally found the one that Galdan wanted, which was the announcement that his master personally appointed him as the commander of the Mongolian-Tibet coalition army, and there was also a pair of golden handprints on it.
Two proclamations were spread out and placed on the table. The handprints were exactly the same size, but there was one more palm print on the left hand. Although it was very inconspicuous, Galdancewang was the apprentice of the master. He had also assisted Sang Jie Gyatso to handle the documents, so he was very familiar with this. In this comparison, the messenger's face changed drastically: "So, is that rumor true? Has the master really changed?"
Galdancewang nodded slightly: "It's very likely. I know very well who Sang Jie Gyatso is. If the superior is turned around, he will definitely be able to block this news. The above person has the power of the Huang Cult!"
The messenger looked at the palm prints and compared them for a long time, and said, "If this is the case, we must inform the empire immediately."
Galdancewang sat on a chair and raised his hand to stop his subordinates from speaking. He sat there and thought carefully, thinking for a long time, then looked up and asked, "Tell the Empire, is there any other benefits besides letting the Empire uphold justice? Especially for me, Galdancewang, what are the benefits?"
"In fact, there is no benefit at all. Whether the master is alive or dead does not have much impact on me, especially when I just became the headmaster of Alibaba and have not yet firmly settled in this position. The replacement of Tibetan leaders is not important to me at all, but in terms of the empire, the disclosure of news can only bring bad things.
The reason why King Yu supported me to become the chief executive of Ali was to intervene in the situation in Tibet. As the master turned his back, Sangjie Gyatso, who was Diba, concealed it and did not report it. Instead, he seized power and disrupted the government. He would definitely cause huge changes in the empire. Once troops were sent, what could I do? My role would be very small, and I would not even draw many soldiers and horses." Galdancewang said.
The messenger focused his attention and said, "Yes, sir, you need time to actually grasp the Ali area."
Galdan praised, "You are right. It doesn't matter who is the leader of the Yellow Sect. The key is that Ali must have a higher status within the empire system. Just a few days ago, King Yu just gave me 6,000 Crimean Tatars without men. They are said to be descendants of Genghis Khan, but they have converted to cults. Once the news of the master's turn is exposed, I think this matter will be suspended because everything will turn to the affairs of sending troops.
More importantly, the generals of Dingbian and ministers stationed in Xinjiang in the Western Xinjiang region have a saying in the Central Plains that county officials are not as good as current management. No matter how noble the King Yu is, he will eventually return to Shenjing of the Empire. We will face the military and political chiefs of the Western Xinjiang directly. But these two have been hoping that King Yu will return to the mainland as soon as possible and join the matter now. If King Yu's itinerary is blocked, all the responsibility will be blamed on me."
Dingbian General's Mansion.
"The master has appointed General Galdancewang as the general manager of Ali, and the general Dingbian Mansion will also recognize that in the future, the peace between the Ladakh Kingdom and the Ali region will be under the responsibility of King Dedenlangjia and General Galdancewang, while Master Zhuqin and his temple will serve as supervisors.
The population and cattle and sheep that King Yu promised to reward you have been prepared. It is July now. Winter in Tibet is early, and migration and resettlement are all time, so let's set off as soon as possible. In the future, you both sides must be at peace......" Chen Ping, as the general of Dingbian, was responsible for handling vassal affairs, and the final mediation was decided by him. Dedenlangjia and Galdancewang jointly signed a document announcing the complete end of the Ladakh War.
After the mediation, the banquet was held as usual. At the end, Galdancewang whispered to General Chen Ping, Dingbian: "General, the foreign minister has a secret matter."
"Okay, you can leave us to go to the Yu King's study together to report the matter." Chen Ping said.
"His Highness Yu knows that he may have to stay in Western Xinjiang for another winter." Galdancewang responded in a low voice, and Chen Ping's face changed slightly.
Li Junwei looked at the two of them here from a distance and muttered, asking, "General Chen, Galdan, what are you talking about? You are muttering, so that others can't hear it."
Chen Ping laughed and patted Galdancewang to signal him to sit down, saying, "Your Highness, when Galdan General General was the Mongolian-Tibet coalition, he was still a monk who followed the Yellow Cult ritual. After returning to secular life, he fought because of this war. This time he finally went to Yili and met many nobles of Wei Lat. He wanted to let the generals play matchmakers and marry a famous family and go back."
Li Junwei had already drunk wine and was slightly drunk, and teased and said, "Oh, Galdancewang, you are so busy marrying a wife. It seems that you were also a flower monk in the temple at that time. I will do this matchmaker, Junggar, Heshuote or Huite. Who do you like in all the girls in the tribes? Tell me, I will protect you this big matchmaker."
Taking advantage of this Yuzi to fool him, after relocating Li Junwei, Chen Ping and Galdancewang came to Chen Ping's study. Galdancewang immediately said: "This time I sent someone to Tibet to ask the Chief of the Ali General. My subordinates heard a news that the people from the Three Temples and Thirteen Forests thought that the master had passed away, so they went to the Potala Palace to visit..."
"Oh, Master has passed away, so this is the notice of rewarding the Ali General Manager..." Chen Ping frowned, but Galdancewang responded: "It is unknown whether Master has passed away or not. The monks of Huang Cult arrived at the Potala Palace and did not see the master. Sangjie Gyatsodiba said that Master was sitting in silence and practicing tantrics, and could not disturb him. In the end, Master Ke'er, who was beside the master, went to visit and met Master."
"In this way, is it a rumor for the master to turn around?" Chen Ping asked.
Galdancewang shook his head slightly: "The foreign minister is not sure. The foreign minister has been with the emperor for many years, and the Buddhism is inherited from all over the country. I have not heard of any secret method that needs to be practiced for so long. What's more important is Master Ke'er who is visiting on behalf of the monks of the Huang Cult. Although he and Senior Brother Sang Jie Gyatso are constantly dirty and cannot be concealed for him, there is one thing. Master Ke'er has not left the temple for many years. Speaking of which, I'm afraid that he hasn't seen a master for 10 or 20 years, so he must not remember the voice. If Sang Jie Gyatso finds a disguise with similar appearance, it is easy to deceive him.
Moreover, the master may not be groundless, otherwise it would not disturb the three major temples and the Thirteen Forests to be dispatched. The foreign ministers did not have any evidence to prove the master's life and death, and were worried that His Highness Yu would delay his trip when he heard that this matter would be delayed, so he came to report to the general secretly."
"You are doing very well, Galdan General Manager." Chen Ping praised him. He stood up, walked around the room for a few times, and asked, "Before you returned to secular life, you were also a disciple of the master. Do you personally think that has passed away?"
Galdancewang said: "It is really hard to answer this foreign minister. Although the foreign minister is also the apprentice of the master, among all the brothers, the master's favorite is Dibasangjie Gyatso. He asked Sangjie Gyatso to participate in the temple affairs very early. After Sangjie Gyatso became an adult, he participated in all major events of the Huang Sect.
The foreign minister had a lot of contact with Sang Jie Gyatso. Although the foreign minister could not be sure whether the master was a good man, it was very possible to ask Sang Jie Gyatso to not have a funeral, or Sang Jie Gyatso made his own decision to hide the news. The master was very fond of Sang Jie Gyatso and did not allow anyone to doubt or hurt him. Sang Jie Gyatso was also very greedy for authority and would not want any change in the power structure in Tibet."
Chen Ping smiled and said, "You are very cautious in your words, and in this matter, I have to be cautious. You must know that nowadays, most people believe in the vast land from the Black Sea to Heilongjiang. If there is no definite evidence, spreading rumors will lead to unstable people's hearts. Therefore, I am not going to announce what you said. But I will not turn a blind eye. I will send envoys to Tibet and use the relationship between the great master and the Khan of Pengchuk to inquire. Of course, you can also find out for me. The secret, do you understand?"
"This is also the idea of the foreign minister. This matter is very important. Don't announce it for the time being. Even if we make the worst plan, Sang Jie Gyatso is to hide the news of his master's death and control the government affairs of the Huang Church. He is only in peace with Tibet and will not have a big impact on the outside world. There will be no big losses for the empire.
Instead of asking publicly, it is better to investigate secretly and prepare in advance. What do you think?" Galdancewang asked.
Chen Ping focused on it: "Very good, you did a very good job. Galdancewang, you are a smart person. This practice is beneficial to yourself and the empire, so I will support you. I know that you reported to me secretly, more for yourself, but I won't care, and will reward you. But you must figure it out that it is not that you lied to me, but that you did something that is good for the empire. If you are caught between the individual and the empire next time? I hope you can still make the right choice at that time."
When Galdancewang came out of General Dingbian's mansion, he was already sweating profusely. He lived in Tibet since he was a child and was in contact with knowledgeable monks. Even among the disciples of the masters, he was a smart one. It was no problem to play with some tricks. However, he did not expect that the wisdom he had to rely on for a living and proud of was so vulnerable in the western border of the empire. General Chen Ping saw through everything.
