Baima Weiyang

When I woke up, it was already daylight.I rubbed my sore neck, got up and went to the copper basin to wash and dress.As usual, I took Mauihan to the garden for morning exercises. Although I stayed there for a short while, I somehow felt a depressing atmosphere densely covering the whole Zhuangzi.

I knew in my heart that the storm was getting closer, and the scattered raindrops had begun to scatter.Thinking of this, I suddenly lost my interest and went back to the house early.I spent the whole morning reading books and postings, but my mind was still restless.

In the afternoon, the sky in Lhasa suddenly changed.I stood by the narrow window and looked at the gloomy sky, where the dark clouds were gathering together.After all, he was worried, and simply sent Mao Yihan to the front yard to inquire about news.In the evening, Mao Yihan came back in a hurry to report that Lhazang still decided to send troops...

Different from the last time, this time the two really broke out in a military conflict, and Lhasa was suddenly plunged into a thick cloud of war.So Lhazang's scripture teacher, Jiamuyang Xieba, brought the eminent monks from the three major monasteries to mediate.After many days of coordination, the two parties reached a provisional agreement in front of the pagoda of the fifth emperor.Lhazang agreed to withdraw to Qinghai, while Sangye Gyatso retreated to Kungazong in Shannan to practice meditation.

On the surface, both forces withdrew from Lhasa, but in private, no one abided by the agreement at all.Lhazang ostentatiously continued to take root in Zhuangzi, and even secretly dispatched troops from Qinghai.

The Heshuote tribe is a part of the Oirat Mongolia. It was originally stationed in Urumqi, Xinjiang. It has a long-standing grievance with the Gelug Sect.As early as the late Ming Dynasty, when the fifth DL was still young, the Gelug faction faced a crisis of life and death.The Zangba Khan regime at that time joined forces with Khalkha Mongol Chotu Khan who had entered Qinghai and Baili chieftain in Kham to encircle the Gelug Sect and vowed to eliminate the Gelug Sect.

In order to resolve the crisis, the fifth emperor acquiesced to Suonan Redan's suggestion, and sent someone to ask for help from Gush Khan, the leader of Heshuo at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.The far-sighted Gushi Khan seized the opportunity and marched eastward first, defeating Quetu Khan's tens of thousands of troops and occupying Qinghai.Then he sent troops to Kang District and wiped out Chieftain Baili.Finally, they suddenly marched into Tibet, and with the cooperation of the Gelug faction, they captured Shigatse in one fell swoop and captured and killed Zangba Khan.

Although Heshuote Mongolia rescued the Gelug faction in times of crisis, Gushri Khan was ambitious. On the surface, he seemed to help the Gelug faction establish the Ganden Pozhang regime, but in fact he held power everywhere.He took a series of measures to consolidate Heshuote's rule in Tibet, and even stationed troops in Lhasa for a long time, and stationed heavy troops in the Damu area north of Lhasa to prepare for deterrence.

At that time, the Mongolian cavalry of the Heshuo Special Department were invincible and almost controlled the entire Mongolian and Tibetan areas.It is a pity that the descendants of Gushri Khan did not have his great talents and general plans. They supported their own troops, were arrogant and domineering, and did not believe in Buddhism, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Tibetan monks and laymen.So that after the death of Gush Khan, Heshuote's power in Tibet gradually declined.

At the same time, the consciousness of the Gelug sect monks and laymen aristocrats to take power independently is gradually increasing.The fifth king took advantage of the opportunity of the regime change in Heshuot Mongolia to skillfully transfer the real power of Tibet to his own hands step by step. One of the important measures was the independent appointment of Diba by the first lama.

However, the fifth Dalai Lama passed away before Heshuote’s involvement in Tibet was completely eradicated. Therefore, the important task and last wish of regaining real power became the goal of Sanjay Gyatso I’s struggle.However, the power of this 60-year-long rule cannot be eradicated overnight.Sanjay Gyatso has worked hard for so long, but it still falls short.If I remember correctly, Heshuote Mongolia returned to rule Tibet this year...

When I read these things in books before, although I would sigh along with him, I was just an outsider after all.Even if he travels back to Tibet 300 years ago by mistake, Tsangyang Gyatso's meticulous protection is like a city wall, separating those disputes far away.

But since arriving in Lhazang's Zhuangzi, everything has changed completely.Not only my life, but also my mentality has changed a lot.Sometimes I dream back in the middle of the night, watching the puppets in the shadow puppetry come to me alive, fear and panic, swallowing me wave after wave.

There is no way to get rid of it, and I can't find a gap to release my emotions. I hate the fast life in front of me more and more.So I toss twice every day, don't give myself a little leisure time, and don't look at anything that will arouse my inner thoughts.But even so, the torment in his heart never stopped.In this almost distorted depression, I only feel that my endurance has reached the end...

If there is any belief that supports me, besides the person I dare not think of easily, it is probably the battle between Lhazang and Sanjay Gyatso.Sometimes even I feel terrible. It should have been a bloody and brutal war, but it has become the only light in my life at this time.

According to the sporadic news from Ma Yihan, not long after Jiamuyang Xieba's mediation, Lhasa sent troops southward in two ways. On the surface, they intended to withdraw their troops and return to Qinghai, but in fact they suddenly returned to attack Lhasa after they reached Nagqu. .Naturally, Sanjay Gyatso was not willing to stand still, and quickly mobilized 13 local soldiers from Qamdo and Ngari to fight against the Mongolian cavalry in Lhasa.As a result, the army was defeated, and Sanjay Gyatso was forced to retreat to the Duilong and Qushui areas.During this time, the two parties have been fighting fiercely.

On July [-]th, Sangye Gyatso was captured by another army from Lhazang, and was executed by Caiwang Jiamao in the area of ​​Duelungdeqin.Lhazang was not there at the time, but Caiwang Jiamao's method was even crueler than him.She beheaded Sanjay Gyatso first, and then chopped off his limbs, leaving him decapitated in a wilderness.

When the news reached my ears, I slumped on the armchair and was stunned for half an hour. It wasn't until Mauihan shook my body with a frightened face that I came back to my senses in a trance. Son.

The long-awaited moment has finally arrived, but my heart is not half joyful.I can't even imagine the scene of reuniting with Tsangyang Gyatso. What keeps appearing in my mind is the face of the person who plotted to kill me but now has no good end.Although I already knew his ending, watching him go to death like this, the grief in my heart is still uncontrollable.

I sent Mauihan out, and I was bored in the room alone. I can't remember how long I stayed there before I slowly calmed down.It was already afternoon when I lifted the curtain and went out.Ma Yihan was guarding the door, and seeing me coming out, he couldn't help but smile.

I looked at her blankly, "Mauihan, I want to eat tsampa." She was taken aback for a moment, and she hurried to the kitchen without daring to ask any more questions.

On the Tibetan-style round table covered with pulu tablecloths, there are various Tibetan foods, such as tsampa kneaded into small balls, buttered tea with milky fragrance, dried meat, short cheese cake... I picked up a ball of tsampa Put it in your mouth and chew it slowly, the familiar taste spread in your mouth and tongue, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

"Miss, why are you crying..." Mao Yihan reached out and held my shoulder, his voice sounded submissive, "Could it be that the cook didn't cook well?! I'll ask them to redo it right away!" Waiting for my response to go out.I quickly stretched out my hand to hold her, and wiped away the tears on my face with my sleeve with the other hand, "No...no, it's delicious. I love these things no matter how they are made."

"Miss..." Mao Yihan looked at me, and the circles of his eyes turned red.I turned my eyes away, picked up the wooden bowl, and took a sip of butter tea, but my mouth was full of fishy and salty taste.Unable to help sobbing in a low voice, Mauihan squatted down quickly, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."

"It's okay, I'm fine." I raised my hand to wipe away my tears, and shook my head gently, "I'm just homesick, I really miss..." Tears couldn't stop pouring out of my eyes as I spoke.

Seeing me like this, Mao Yihan hurriedly brought a wet towel and wiped it carefully on my face, "Miss, don't cry, you really think hard, and when King Khan comes back, I beg him, Let him allow you to go home for a while. King Khan treats you so well, and he will definitely not refuse."

After hearing what she said, I took a deep breath, and slowly stopped sobbing, "No, I'll be fine in a while." I shook my head again, but my heart felt a little melancholy.Although I knew that Lazang would not detain me for a long time, he would never let me go easily.After thinking about it for a while, I raised my voice and asked, "Where did King Khan go?"

Mauihan took the wet towel and put it aside, "Did you forget? King Khan has rushed to Nangzi, and the princess is still there."

"Then when will he come back?" I glanced down thoughtfully.Mauihan shrugged, stretched out his hand and handed the cheese cake on the plate to me, "I don't know this, I guess I won't be back for a while."

"Hmm..." I nodded, took a piece of cheese cake and slowly chewed it, but after swallowing for a long time, my throat became more and more dry and I couldn't eat it anymore, so I turned my head to look at Mauihan, " Bring me some kumiss."

"Okay!" Mauihan hurriedly reached out to fetch the copper wine jug on the round table, shook it back and forth but couldn't hear the slightest sound, and said involuntarily, "Wait a while, I'll go to the wine cellar to get some .”

Although she didn't have to drink kumiss, it can be seen that she turned around and walked out in a hurry, and I didn't make a sound to stop her.Swallowing the butter tea, I swallowed half of the cheese cake in my mouth with difficulty. I propped my cheeks and looked out of the house aimlessly through the narrow window.

In Lhasa in July, the sun is hot, and the dryness and sultriness unique to the plateau float in the air, surrounding people like cocoons.After sitting quietly in the room for a while, a fine layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

I wiped my face with a wet towel, walked to the rocking chair, lay down and took a nap.In half-closed eyes, the silk curtain hanging on the door frame was constantly being shaken slightly by the wind, and the heat waves outside the house came in through the cracks of the curtain.

It's been a long time, but the curtain has not been lifted.Feeling a little anxious waiting, I turned my head and changed my sleeping position. Just as I was about to kick the rocking chair under me, there was a woman's exclamation of "Ah—" outside the door.

I was taken aback for a moment, the voice seemed to be Mauihan's, and before I had time to think about it, my back was already stiff in shock.Suddenly the silk curtain in front of him was lifted by a strong force, and after hearing the sound, Mao Yihan was walking into the room with his hands tied.Just a little surprised by her walking posture, her eyes turned up, but she saw a man's hand tightly covering Ma Yihan's mouth, and above the palm, the little girl's eyes were wide open in horror.

I shivered with fright, my mind went blank, I couldn't hide or run away, I could only watch Mauihan being pushed and staggering towards him in a dumb way.The silk curtain was completely thrown out of the door, and I nervously shifted my gaze to Ma Yihan's back. I was startled, and jumped up from the armchair in amazement, "Tashi Pingcuo?!"

He heard this and looked at me, but the expression on his face was still frozen, "It's me." Looking at that handsome face, I was surprised and happy, and adjusted my mood as quickly as possible. , I strode up to him, "Why are you here?!"

"He wants me to take you away." Tashi Pingcuo said coldly, his eyes turned to Mao Yihan who was whining non-stop.I paused, and hurriedly broke away Tashi Pingcuo's hand, "Oh, she is my little girl! Don't be so rude!"

"Hmm..." Freed from the shackles, Mao Yihan took a breath, looked at Tashi Puncuo, then hid behind me in fear, and said tremblingly, "Miss, who is he? He's horrible..."

I couldn't help crying and laughing when I heard it, and turned around and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, "This is my younger brother, you will be afraid of being so handsome?" Glancing at it, his face flushed suddenly, and he immediately retracted his head.

I was so amused by her expression that I laughed "Puchi", and suddenly I felt Tashi Puncuo's eyes sweep over me, and then my face became serious, "You follow me." Hearing his order, I nodded and turned around Looking at Mao Yihan, "Good girl, I'm leaving..." Before he finished speaking, Mao Yihan's eyes turned red, "Miss, are you not coming back again?"

I paused, sniffed hard, and stretched out my hand to give her a big hug, "No more. Good girl, take care. If King Khan asks you, just say that you were knocked out, and you won't do anything." have no idea."

"Well, I...I will...Miss, you have to take care too, I...I know you don't like this place, it's okay to leave, or..." Mauihan replied with a sobbing voice. There was a lot of wetness on the cheek.

I rubbed my eyelids, not daring to look at her again, so I simply turned my eyes away cruelly.Walking to the desk, I took out the boxwood carving from the drawer, and stuffed my hands into my sleeves. I looked at Tashi Pingcuo, "Let's go." Seeing him nodding his head silently, I couldn't help turning around and looking at Mauihan. , smiled at her, then turned around and walked towards the door.

Inadvertently sweeping around the room, I found a few traces of nostalgia in my heart.I never liked this uncontrollable sadness, so I gritted my teeth and stretched out my hand to lift the silk curtain.Just as he was about to rush out, Tashi Puncuo in front of him paused.I was stunned, and looked over his shoulder, and what caught my eyes was Jida's grinning face.

"Stinky boy, you can knock me unconscious without any precautions, it's really amazing!" Jida turned his neck slightly, and the leather whip on his right hand whirled around on the stone floor, "Just It's a pity that the hit was missed, no matter how hard it is, it's useless!"

Tashi Pingcuo snorted coldly, with a mocking smile on his lips, "Hmph, I just want to save your life, but now it seems that you don't need it."

"You—" Jida became angry immediately, and the whip in his hand waved more and more fiercely in the air, "Good boy, if I don't teach you some lessons today, you won't know the heights of heaven and earth!" Ji slammed me again, Tashi Pingcuo stretched out his hand to push me away, turned over and avoided the tail of the whip.

Unwillingly, Jida twisted the corners of his mouth, and swung the whip in his hand constantly, swishing it towards Tashi Pingcuo every time.Tashi Pingcuo retreated while waiting for an opportunity to fight back.Looking at the figures of the two wrestling, I was so anxious that my forehead was sweating.Seeing Tashi Puncuo's sleeve being thrown out with a "snap", I couldn't bear it any longer and watched calmly.

Looking around, he found that Gao Jigeri was falling against the wall and fell into the copper jug ​​beside him, and the kumiss was still flowing out.Looking along the direction of the flow, I was shocked and ran to Gao Jigeri in a hurry, reached out and pulled off the scimitar with a horse's head on his waist.

"Tashi Pingcuo, continue!" Taking advantage of the opportunity he had to deal with, I quickly threw the horse-headed scimitar in my hand.Tashi Pingcuo took it calmly, and the scimitar came out of its sheath suddenly.After fighting back and forth a few more times, Jida suddenly let go of his arm, and the whip in his hand was sent flying by Tashi Pingcuo.He was a little dazed just now, when the scimitar was already at his throat.

Zhaxi Pingcuo put his hands on Jida's neck, and said in a cold voice, "Lead the way." Jida's eyes flashed, and he twitched the corners of his mouth unwillingly, "It's really a noble person who forgets things. I don't remember how to get out when I first came in?!"

Hearing this, Tashi Pingcuo turned his gaze to him, "I mean the secret way." Ji Da turned pale immediately, hesitated for a while, and said, "Come with me."

Tashi Puncuo looked at me expressionlessly, then escorted Jida to the gravel road.I followed in a hurry, but after a few steps, I heard footsteps in my ears.I was taken aback, and when I raised my eyes, a group of Mongolian soldiers had already scattered around us...
