18. Cai Bang was printed out
Because the alliance between Zamp and the great nobles must be present to be considered formal. If the alliance does not kill and sacrifice, the nobles will think that they lack sacredness; but if the sacrifice is killed and sacrifice, the Buddhist monks are unwilling to do it, they can only let the master Bon hold the knife.
This is where Zamp cannot do without Bon religion. After all, his rule over the plateau still has to rely on the nobles. Once the earth shakes within the nobles, the entire empire will be shaky.
So Zanpu could only shake his hand and whisper: Ben Yongzhong is now willing to issue a law, acknowledging that there may be two religions in China at the same time, both religions can be believed and cannot harm each other.
"I hope Zamp can allow me to live in the Samye Monastery." Seeing Zamp give in, Xiangriwule made his first request.
Zanpu's eyes were empty and he agreed helplessly.
"I hope Zanpu can allow the masters of the Pope to study new classics and build a mausoleum for Zanpu." This is the second request from Shanriwule.
In fact, the so-called new classic is that the Bon religion secretly plagiarizes Buddhist scriptures, replaces them, and then pretends to be his own things. Zanpu has made a vow at this time and is buried in the pagoda built for him after his death. The funeral is also held in the Buddhist form. At this time, Xiangriwule wanted to build a tomb for Zanpu, but in fact it was forcing Zanpu to be buried according to the Bon rituals after his death.
Zamp could only nod in response to this.
"Finally, I hope Zamp can reply to the Bon Apostles and not put them in the taxable roster."
Previously, when Buddhism (some brought by the Tang Dynasty princesses who were married, some came from the Indian region) entered the plateau, they had fierce struggles with the Bon religion. During the reign of Chisong Dezan, the Bon religion was defeated and the minister Ma Xiang and Zhongbajie, who worshiped and opposed Buddha, was buried alive. The Bon religion was either ordered to believe in Buddhism or exiled, and the rest were beaten back to the status of the people and unified as Zamp to pay taxes.
Now is the time for Xiangri Ule to counterattack.
In the end, all three requests of Omahamashi Kariwule were agreed upon, and the Bon sect's counterattack was initially won.
Zanpu could not punish Cai Bang and Mangcuo, so he could only ask his close ministers to get a "mobile wooden slip", and first wrote on it the guilt of Cai Bang and Mangcuo monk Qi Xiner in the previous battle to Pingrong City Road, but then he personally stamped the "Seal of Kindness" at the end of the wooden slip. Once this seal was stamped, it means that Zanpu pardoned the criminals. This is the privilege of the Western nobles, also called "Seal Elimination".
Cai Bang Mangcuo, who was eliminated by seal, was extremely proud, and then he retreated with everyone with great satisfaction, leaving.
Zanpu, who felt more frustrated, could only bury his head deeply at this moment, and Concubine Bo Yong cried beside him.
Then several financial officials placed the red book, white book and yellow book in front of Zamp in turn.
The red book is the statistics of Dingkou and land tuition in the original part of the Plateau, the white book is the statistics of the vassals such as Xiangxiong and Qinghai, and the yellow book is the statistics of the later conquered Helong Han territory.
Among them, Zanpu only read the red book. This red book is completely different from when he was in the alliance. This time, the strong men who served in the Western Fan army suffered a great loss. The five headquarters Ruben lost almost one-quarter to one-third of Gui, and the Yong who joined the army, countless people were even more killed and captured. The paper was covered with handwriting. Zanpu's mouth trembled, and then said to the financial officer dejectedly: "With so many people died, how to do the land?"
The financial officer carefully replied that the field boundaries must be redrawn as soon as possible, otherwise the fields under the names of those who died in battle will be uncultivated and will soon be deserted, and the land tax collected will be sharply reduced in the coming year.
"This time Ben Yongzhong is preparing to allocate the unowned land to the civilians who were originally poor in their industries." Zanpu is now also eager to revitalize the power of the civilians.
In addition, he instructed the financial officer that there would be no need for so many people to re-establish Ben Yongzhong's Imperial Army this time, and the Imperial Army warriors did not need to be protected. The archers and mediocre people would support him. Ben Yongzhong would imitate the experience of the Tang family Gaoyue and let the Imperial Army leave Dongdai, and only stationed on the side of Ben Yongzhong's palace to practice. In addition, we should learn new firearms as soon as possible. Dafan would soon form a new army to support the situation.
"But, Ben Yongzhong doesn't need to do these things personally... Call Master Lotus and Muni from the Samye Monastery. Ben Yongzhong wants to fulfill his promise before the war and abdicate Zanpu's position to Muni."
Now Concubine Bo Yong cried bitterly. She was pitiful and leaned in front of Zanpu's boots and said, "Why did the great god Zanpu give up your people?"
Zanpu whispered to her, don't worry too much. Ben Yongzhong started killing traitors since he was eighteen years old, and he has never seen any storms in his life. Now he abdicates the throne with retreat as a step forward. In the future, Ben Yongzhong will never let monk Cai Bang Qi Xin'er go.
Later, Zanpu, who was scheming and thoughtful, announced his abdication. He called Muni from the temple and said to Muni seriously:
"Ben Yongzhong only did three things in his life. The first thing was to establish the laws of True Wisdom Five Wood Slips, the three judges of the wooden Slips and the mobile wooden Slips, which strengthened the order of the plateau; the second thing was to capture the Han area of Helong and Han, and to the south, conquered the Nibora Kingdom, expand the territory of Dafan to the extreme; the third thing was to promote Buddhism, build a system of monk offerings, and make the country of Dafan safe and prosperous. Also, for example, the system of prosecutorship was refined and the nobles were required to strengthen their moral cultivation.
, established the border virtue theory (similar to the Tang Jiedushi) system, but compared with the first three things, it was a little smaller than the first three things, so I was ashamed to make these insignificant contributions. However, this really puts you considerable pressure. In addition, the war between the Tang and the Tibet is now prolonged, and the number of staff at Dingkou in China is severe, which is also very difficult. After you take over Zanpu's position, you cannot abandon the three things of Ben Yongzhong. In addition, if you encounter something that is difficult to decide, you can ask Ben Yongzhong or consult Master Lotus."
Muni really didn't know why he had to take over his father's position when he was practicing Tantric Buddhism in Samye Monastery.
But what he knew very well was that the current turmoil in Xibo today was a time to make all kinds of decisions.
When Chisong Dezan and his concubines entered the Huzhiyuan and Luzhiyuan to live in seclusion, Muni succeeded to the throne. Before he was given a title, he was temporarily called "Muni Zanpu" by his subordinates.
After discussing with his teacher Padmasambhava, Muni decided to make a quick decision and do the following things first:
First, we will discuss peace with the Tang family as soon as possible to eliminate the war, because Xifan has no more blood to be lost, even if we discard the outer territory for this purpose;
Secondly, he made every effort to redeem nearly 30,000 prisoners, and re-divided the land on the plateau, restored the industry first, and rethinked the division of identity between Yong, Yang Geng, Ning Geng and Wen Mo. Muni hoped to liberate slaves and provide pensions to the civilians to ease the increasingly sharp contradictions now;
Also, as soon as possible, we will implement the Tantric Buddhism on the plateau, Zen Buddhism in the Han area, and the Bon religion to stabilize the intensifying conflicts.
