Winter is coming!
A heavy wind and snow covered the sky and the earth, suppressed the white hot contradictions on the grassland, and blocked the ambitions of countless people under the power of heaven and earth,
In another cold place, a storm also rose quietly, but this storm is not a knife and gun battle between tribes, but an invisible religious battle.
Luoxie city! In the Tubo palace.
The Dharma protector of the Tang Dynasty, master Salmonella farIn, sat on the throne and was explaining the Dharma to Songzanganbu. A group of Tibetan nobles who believed in local Buddhism glared at him, but had to admire master farIn's Buddhism. The Mahayana Dharma was handy and did not say anything. They also created a new Tantric Dharma, which made them intoxicated.
"Master farIn really has profound Buddhism, which I admire!" after master farIn finished speaking, Songzan Ganbu came down with imperial concubine Wen and said in a loud voice.
"I've seen the king and Princess Wen!" master farIn said in an unassuming manner.
"Tell the king, thanks to the help of Buddhism, I can see his majesty tiankhan and ask him to agree to the marriage between the king and Princess Wen." Lu Dongzan reported.
Princess Wen immediately brightened her eyes and said to master Falin, "thank you for your help!"
Master farIn replied, "Princess Wen is polite. I'd rather tear down ten temples than one marriage. As long as the king and Princess Wen have a lover and get married, I wouldn't hesitate to give up my skin bag."
"Princess Wen will never forget the kindness of the master." Princess Wen said solemnly.
Princess Wen seldom saw Han people in Tubo. She was a little more happy to see Master Falin and other monks. In addition, although she was loved by Songzan Ganbu, she had no power in the imperial palace. The arrival of master Falin and other Tang monks was a heaven given opportunity and needed the support of the upper class. Maybe it was a woman's natural instinct to be good at Palace fighting. They immediately hit it off, A tacit agreement was reached.
Songzan Ganbu is happy to see his success. You should know that both imperial concubine Wen and Tang monks are the link between Tubo and Tang, and also the power against Princess Chizun. In this way, his harem can maintain balance.
"Fortunately, with the help of master farIn, Tian Khan promised you and me that we could get married. Once we got married, the king would promote concubine Wen to empress Wen." Songzan Ganbu said happily.
Lu Dongzan couldn't help but look bitter and said, "tell your majesty that although Tian Khan promised to marry, the Mohist son heard a condition, that is, let the king build a palace for Princess Wen with the gift of a princess, and even the drawings have been prepared."
"Mojiazi!" Princess Wen's heart moved. As a Han, who didn't know the famous mojiazi, let alone when she saw the palace on the drawing, she couldn't open her eyes any more.
As a woman, who doesn't fantasize that she is a princess? Now Princess Changle claims that all women in the Tang Dynasty are princesses, and mojiazi specially designed a palace for her, which immediately realized Princess Wen's dream.
"Potala Palace, what does this mean?" Princess Wen's eyes flashed and saw the four Chinese characters on the drawing.
Master farIn explained, "Potala means Putuo in Sanskrit. It is the place where Guanyin Bodhisattva lives. It seems to me that Princess Wen is destined to Guanyin Bodhisattva."
"Potala palace! King!" concubine Wen couldn't help but move in her heart and looked forward to Songzanganbu,
"Jian, I will not hesitate to spend any more for Princess Wen!" Songzan Ganbu said gently as he looked at Princess Wen, but his clenched hands were green, revealing his heart.
"Thank you, king!" Princess Wen took the palace drawing and couldn't help but be happy.
In addition to Princess Wen's pure immersion in the dream of the Princess Palace, who is not a smart person, naturally knows the purpose of Mohism, but anyone knows that Songzan Ganbu has no choice. In that case, it's better to accept it neatly.
Once accepted wholeheartedly, Songzan Gambo saw more palace drawings. Although the purpose of Mohism was impure, its artistic level was well known all over the world. The palace painted by him was the prototype of the Potala Palace of later generations, which was extremely brilliant and magnificent. In contrast, the palace he now lives in is just like a heaven and a earth.
"Only the king can deserve such palaces. The Mohist thought that he wanted to use the Potala Palace to consume Tubo, but he didn't know that he would just send a big gift to the king." for a moment, Songzan Ganbu was proud. Now Songzan Ganbu is unified in the plateau and has great ambition. Seeing the grandeur of the bulada palace, he was proud unconsciously.
"Your Majesty, the Potala Palace is magnificent, but it needs high technology. I don't have such talents in Tubo. In addition, its cost is too high, and Tubo's Treasury is empty now..." Lu Dongzan frowned. According to him, although the Potala Palace needs to be built, it can be built slowly and slowly, so that Tubo will not damage national strength.
Master farIn said in a loud voice, "don't worry, king. Among the Tang monks who came to Tibet this time, several monks were skilled craftsmen before shaving, enough to bear the heavy responsibility of building the Potala Palace. As for the cost, the poor monk brought ten thousand liang of silver when he traveled west, which can be dedicated to the king to build the Potala Palace."
"Several craftsmen! Ten thousand liang of silver!" Songzan Ganbu was stunned. He didn't expect that the Buddhist family in the Tang Dynasty should pay people and money.
"My lifelong wish is to promote Buddhism, and money is outside my body." master farIn said quietly.
Songzan Ganbu nodded and said, "don't worry, master. Buddhism is not allowed in the Tang Dynasty. Tubo will always open the door for Buddhism."
"Thank you, king!" master farIn arched away.
Songzan Ganbu waved and held back everyone, including imperial concubine Wen, who reluctantly left. Then he came to ludongzan and said, "Daxiang, what do you think of the Westward Journey of Tang Buddhism."
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said, "there are hundreds of schools of thought competing in the Tang Dynasty. Buddhism is really not allowed in the Tang Dynasty. What I have seen so far is that Buddhism is only dedicated to promoting Buddhism without any selfishness."
Songzan Ganbu nodded. Originally, because the Potala Palace that mojiazi shot was the connection of Buddhist Sanskrit, his doubts disappeared. If Buddhism only preached Buddhism, he didn't mind accepting Buddhism. Songzan Ganbu is a great leader of a generation, but after all, Tubo civilization has just started, and he has not seen the harm of Buddhism.
"By the way, the money for the construction of the Potala Palace is not a big concern. The wine making method offered by Da Xiang has made good wine. Please have a taste and reconcile your worries. How about selling a good price in Datang." Songzan Ganbu waved his big hand and a servant brought in a small jar of wine.
As soon as the Songzan dry cloth was opened, the whole hall suddenly overflowed with wine.
"Good wine!" Songzan Ganbu took a deep breath, drank it up in one gulp.
However, Lu Dongzan frowned, gritted his teeth and drank it all at once. He suddenly turned white and turned upside down in his stomach. He couldn't help but vomit blood and wine.
"Da Xiang!" Songzan Ganbu quickly covered the wine jar and exclaimed.
After a long time, Lu Dongzan changed his way: "back to the king, I learned the calculations of the Mohist School in Chang'an city. I can't smell wine or eat minced meat. I can only satisfy my hunger with porridge every day."
In order to solve the third problem of Mozi, Lu Dongzan has damaged his stomach and his body has fallen greatly.
"Why didn't Da Xiang say it earlier, otherwise the king wouldn't let Da Xiang taste wine." Songzan Ganbu scolded himself.
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said, "the wine making method is offered by the minister. Naturally, the minister should check it. This wine is indeed a rare top-grade wine. Once it is sold to Chang'an City, it will certainly earn endless money for Tubo. In this way, the money for the construction of Jokhang temple will be available."
"Well, in this way, I have the help of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty and good wine as the source of wealth, which will certainly defeat the calculation of Mohist Zi." Songzan Ganbu laughed loudly.
However, he didn't know that he thought he was on the second floor, and mojiazi had reached the fifth floor. Whether it was Buddhism or highland barley brewing, he had laid the groundwork. When it broke out one day, Tubo would be unprepared.
In some cities,
Jokhang Temple is the temporary residence of Tang Buddhists. With the support of Songzan Ganbu, together with the natural ally of concubine Shang and nearly 100 believers of the Tibetan mission, Tang Buddhists have initially established a foothold in Tubo.
However, just like this, it is not enough to turn Tubo into a Western Buddhist country. Therefore, the Buddhist families of the Tang Dynasty held a scripture debate conference in Jokhang Temple.
By preaching Esoteric Buddhism and debating scriptures with local Buddhists in Tubo, master Falin is worthy of being a Buddhist protector, Salmonella, and a fellow practitioner of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He has profound Buddhism and knowledge. No one can win for a while. The popularity of Buddhists in the Tang Dynasty is the same, and the number of believers is gradually increasing.
This frightened the local temples in Tubo and was extremely vigilant against the Buddhists of the Tang Dynasty. However, at the last day's Sutra debate, master Falin announced something that shocked everyone.
"My time has come, and I will be dead in ten days!"
As soon as master farIn said this, all the believers in the audience were shocked. They looked at master farIn strangely. A person could predict his own death. Master farIn was really good at Buddhism.
The Tibetan monks are even more delighted. Among the Tang Buddhists, master Falin is the most powerful. Once master Falin dies, the Tang Buddhists will certainly suffer heavy losses. Maybe the local temples can reverse the decline at one fell swoop.
"However, the Tibetan Plateau is the place of Buddha's care. The poor monk will not really die. After one month, the poor monk will be reincarnated. Just go all the way north and follow the poor monk's road to Tibet, you will encounter a newborn baby boy. When he was just born, he was born with Buddhist light in the room, Sanskrit sound constantly, relic son in his mouth, three pronged head and mole under his armpit The reincarnated spirit boy is brought to Jokhang Temple to support him. When he grows up, he will gradually remember the life of the poor monk and become a new generation of Dharma protector. "Master farIn calmly explained later.
"Wow!"
This time, both believers and monks were in an uproar. Before that, Tubo believed that people would go to the Western Paradise after death. Although this statement is ethereal, where there is a soul child reincarnation is shocking. As long as the Buddhism is profound, they can live the second, no, or even reincarnate all the time.
"Master farIn, are you still the spirit boy we found?" a believer asked.
Master farIn nodded and shook his head and said, "it's me and not me. The spirit boy will inherit my Dharma, remember my past and have his own life."
When master farIn finished, he left the Sutra debate and returned to Jokhang Temple.
Outside the Jokhang Temple, the story about the reincarnation of the spirit boy immediately caused an uproar. No matter from the ordinary people to the dignitaries and nobles, they are all very interested in the Buddhist family of the Tang Dynasty. Even after hearing the news, Songzan Ganbu and Princess Wen hurried to the Jokhang Temple to talk to master Falin in person. The result is the same. Master Falin will die in ten days, Will reincarnate in a month.
For a while, the hearts of Tubo people fluctuated. The more dignitaries and nobles wanted to live for a long time. However, longevity was not available, but reincarnation could live as the second, which made many dignitaries and nobles excited.
Everyone was staring at the Jokhang Temple, but the gate of the Jokhang Temple was closed and refused to receive anyone.
Ten days later, in the Jokhang Temple, the Buddha bell suddenly sounded, and there was a lot of sadness in the Jokhang Temple. Master farIn died as predicted ten days later.
"What a divine monk!"
Suddenly, everyone rushed to the city, and master farIn died like the sun, which made the theory of the reincarnation of the spirit boy a little more credible.
The Tang Buddhist family of Jokhang Temple held a grand funeral for master farIn. After cremation, they got hundreds of relic sons, which can be said to be the most relic son of eminent monks in the past dynasties. Everyone in luoye City shouted to the divine monk.
One month later, the Jokhang Temple people went north as promised, followed master farIn's road into Tubo, and actually found a baby who was born with a Buddha's light, a relic in his mouth, a three pronged head and a mole under his armpit. They immediately named him master farIn's spirit child and welcomed him back to the Jokhang Temple for support. The Tang Buddhism was completely spread in Tubo.
This moment is remembered in the history books of Tubo, which is called II farIn in history.
