"Buddha country?"

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly.

Even as wise as he is, he is a little confused at this time as to what direct relationship Buddhism has with Tuyuhun's withdrawal of troops.

"You don't understand, do you?"

Fang Ying asked: "Uncle Guo, do you know how the first Zanpu of Tubo came into being?"

Changsun Wuji's face turned slightly stiff.

....Isn’t this nonsense?

For such a rare knowledge, let alone me, who among the great scholars present can explain it?

"Nie Chi Zanpu, according to legend, is the son of the God of Heaven. He walked from the thirteenth level of the sky along the rope ladder of the God of Heaven to Jiangduo Shenshan. He was welcomed as the king by twelve Bon believers who were grazing cattle..."

Fang Ying paused and said: "Of course, this legend has a strong mythological flavor, but there are several keywords in it -"

He just said this.

Li Shimin, who was at the top, suddenly interrupted: "Bon believers!"

...Congratulations, you have learned how to answer!

Fang Ying glanced at the emperor, but did not dare to say what was in his heart, but bowed his hands respectfully:

"The sage is right, it is Bon religion."

He went on to say: "Since the first Zanpu, the Tubo royal power has been in harmony with the Bon religion, which is called 'Wang Xin Tongzhi'."

"King refers to Zamp's royal power."

"Xin means 'Gu Xin', which represents the power of Bon religion."

"During the Zhanpu period of the two kings of Shangding, there was even a situation where 'Xin Shi was placed above the king'..."

"Oh? The sect suppressed the royal power?" Changsun Wuji frowned and interjected: "Will Zanpu tolerate such a situation?"

"So he died..."

Fang Ying said calmly: "If Xinben doesn't speak, the king will not dare to issue decrees, and the ministers will not dare to discuss matters; if Xinben does not sing and dance, the king and ministers will not dare to sing and dance."

"So, the unbearable Zhigong Zampu decided to suppress the Bon forces."

"The result was that the royal power was overthrown and he himself was killed at Nyono Chambord Castle."

hiss……

A gasp of air came from the hall.

The ministers looked at each other in shock. No one had expected that the power structure of Tubo would be like this.

On the Dragon Throne.

Li Shimin looked calm.

However, deep in his eyes, there was a flash of wind and clouds.

....In this short period of time, he already understood what Fang Ying wanted to express.

But he didn't say anything.

Instead, he acted like a superior and watched the courtiers fighting in the audience.

"I see!"

Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly changed and he stared at Fang Ying:

"You mean to introduce Buddhism to Tibet and help Zanpu suppress the Bon religion!"

"Uncle Guo is right." Fang Ying smiled slightly and immediately changed the topic: "But there is a problem..."

"You can think of this method."

"Tubo has experienced thirty-three kings, is there no one who can think of it?"

Changsun Wuji's face turned slightly red.

Seeing Fang Ying's half-smiling face, I just wanted to strangle him to death.

But now we are in the court.

In order to maintain the dignity of the nobles, Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and asked calmly:

"According to my nephew, has anyone tried Zamp in the past?"

"That's right, more than once."

"More than once?"

Changsun Wuji's pupils shrank slightly.

The more information Fang Ying revealed, the more surprised he became.

....This means that there are many secrets discovered by the Tang Dynasty that the emperor is no longer willing to share with him...

I am the mainstay of Prince Qin’s palace!

The architect of the Xuanwumen Incident and one of the five heroes!

The queen has just passed away three years ago. Has the eldest grandson's family drifted away from the imperial power?

…

When Changsun Wuji was in confusion.

Fang Ying's voice sounded in the hall:

"During the Eastern Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperors Huan and Ling, the ascetics of Tianzhu had already begun to translate scriptures in the Central Plains."

"This means that the Buddhist faith has completed the encirclement of Tubo from the south, west and north..."

"Pilgrims from India have a long history of admiring the sacred mountain Kailash."

"The snowy mountains of ancient Kunlun could not stop the pilgrims... Under such circumstances, how could Buddhism give up the land of Tubo?"

Fang Ying looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "According to the records of Bon Religion alone, Buddhism appeared three times on the snowy plateau..."

"The first time, one of the seven kings of Tianchi, Sangchi Zanpu, was during the period of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"The second time is the first of the two kings of Shangding mentioned earlier, Zhigong Zanpu."

"The third time, the 28th generation of Zanpu, Latotori Nian Zan."

"It was at that time that Buddhism left behind the Four Treasures..."

Speaking of which.

Fang Ying suddenly stopped.

Because at this time, no one in Tubo could translate the so-called Four Treasures of Buddhism... One of the Seven Wise Ministers, Tunmi Sangbuza, is currently studying in Tianzhu.

It was not until two years later that he returned to Tubo.

He also translated the Four Jewels of Buddhism left two hundred years ago, "Sutra on the Names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas", "Treasure Box Sutra", and the six-character mantra Om Mani Padme Hum.

"In short, Zanpu has tried to use Buddhism to suppress Bon religion many times in the past, but he has not succeeded..."

Fang Ying continued: "Songtsen Gampo is ambitious and eager to change the current situation."

"Therefore, Songtsen Gampo would definitely approve of introducing Buddhism to Tubo in exchange for its withdrawal from Tuyuhun."

"This is a win-win situation between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo!"

The voice fell.

It's loud and clear.

There was silence all around.

People looked at Fang Ying, full of surprise.

....Is this still the same Fang Erlang in my impression?

It turns out that not only can he compose poems, he also has such a profound understanding of national affairs!

…

Changsun Wuji stood in the center of the hall and remained silent for a long time.

Crush....

Absolute crushing...

Fang Ying used his massive knowledge reserve to defeat him completely.

The strange names, precise locations, and clear time lines all stimulated Changsun Wuji's nerves.

He had no way to refute.

After a long silence, Changsun Wuji spoke in a deep voice:

"Since the introduction of Buddhist teachings has failed many times in the past generations, can it be successful this time?"

"Sorry, this is not an issue we should consider..."

Fang Ying said calmly: "Buddhism is a gift from the Tang Dynasty to Tubo. It symbolizes the face of the Tang Dynasty. Even the Bon religion does not dare to go too far..."

"Next, it depends on Songtsen Gampo's methods."

"...But I believe that he will cherish this opportunity very much..."

There was a hint of pride on Fang Ying's face: "Because apart from Datang, he can never find such a powerful foreign aid!"

"That's right." Changsun Wuji nodded, looked at Fang Ying and said, "The key is, how to introduce Buddhism into Tubo?"

Fang Ying narrowed his eyes: "Uncle Guo means..."

Changsun Wuji rolled up his sleeves and regained his composure: "Besides getting married, I can't think of a more honorable way."
