[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

After a while, the leading lama came out of the house.Dorje followed behind him, and beside Dorje stood two lamas.

Looking at the situation, this is to take people away.

Yinyou looked at him from a distance, and saw the turbulent eyes of the other party, full of panic and unwillingness, and even a little pleading.

After they left, Yinyou came to the house.At a glance, I saw Dorje's father sitting at the table, clinking something from a bag on the table. Even in a dark room, it was not difficult to see that it was a few ingots of gold and silver.

Good guy, does this count as selling your son?Why is he not happy on his face? It is because he is reluctant to part with his son, or he feels that the selling price is not high enough.

However, anyway, they have many children, are young, and can be regenerated, so it doesn't matter.

After getting to know the two, Yinyou learned that as early as 12 years ago, after the fifth Dalai Lama passed away, the Gelug Sect sent people to the foot of Nala Mountain to search for the reincarnated soul boy in several nearby villages.

At that time, a total of five children were selected, and then they were gathered together to catch the week. Only Dorje caught the relic of Lobsang Gyatso, and was selected as the reincarnation of the fifth Dalai Lama at that time.

However, Diba Sangye Gyatso relied on his master's prestige to rule the entire Gelug Sect, and kept the matter secret.The prepared soul boy was not advertised either.

Even the people around, Duoji's parents and himself have long left this childhood episode behind.

Yinyou guessed that it must be Kangxi who wanted to question Sangji Gyatso after learning about it from the captives of Galdan, so he was in a hurry to take the soul boy back.

Dorje's parents believe in the Nyingma sect and are Moinba themselves. Now that there is a leader of the Gelug sect in the family, I don't know whether it is joy or worry.

In the end, the feeling of joy is deeper than the feeling of worry. The Gelug Sect is the authority in the entire Qinghai-Tibet region, and the benefits it can bring to the family are more than just a little money.

Yinyou left Duoji's house after learning about the general process of the matter.Yanheng asked him: "Where are we going now?"

Yinyou only said two words: "Lhasa."

Along the way, Dorje's eyes always appeared in his mind, passionate, rebellious, and longing for freedom.

Gelug of the Gelug Sect means good law in Tibetan, and it emphasizes strict observance of precepts, hence the name.

How could that boy Dorji stand such strict rules and regulations?

They generously followed the group of Gelug lamas into Lhasa, the "Sunshine City" on the snowy plateau.

The sky here is clear and clean, without a trace of floating clouds.Yinyou raised his head and squinted his eyes, feeling that the blue sky was even slightly purple.

Pious believers who came to the pilgrimage can be seen everywhere on the road. They brought cattle and sheep and other tributes, and headed for the Potala Palace step by step.

Shun Anyan said: "I thought this place was sparsely populated, but I didn't expect it to be so lively."

Yinyou said: "Should have come here specially to pay homage to Fufu and turn around."

Seven days later, Sangye Gyatso held a grand enthronement ceremony for Dorje in the Potala Palace.

And during this period, Yinyou met his friend who was strong in Qinghai before—Peng Lhazang, and now he has settled in the Lhasa Khan Palace and has become the new Khan King.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and the other party seems to have a completely different temperament from before.At that time, although he looked old, his heart was young.Now that he has reached the pinnacle of power, he is even a little more murderous.

But Lhazang Khan is still enthusiastic about Yinyou, and invites him to live in Khan's mansion, entertaining him with delicious food and drink.

Yinyou took advantage of the situation and mentioned to the other party that he wanted to go to the Potala Palace to watch the enthronement ceremony of the reincarnated Living Buddha in a few days.

When Lazang Khan heard the words "reincarnated living Buddha", the corners of Lazang Khan's mouth twitched obviously, showing a look of disdain: "Who knows where that guy Sangji caught a kid, and what did he say about the sixth Dalai Lama?" , I think that kid is a counterfeit, not like their Gelug sect at all."

Yinyou smiled noncommittally, and said in his heart: "You are a good judge of people."

Lazang Khan snorted coldly again, and said, "However, Sangchi only used him as a puppet, and wanted to use him to compete with our Heshuote Department. He thinks too highly of himself."

"..."

Yinyou was not interested in their power struggle, but he felt that after Lazang Khan succeeded, the conflict with Diba became more and more acute.

Dorje is just a pawn, and the future will not be easy.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Yinyou entered the Potala Palace, stood behind Lazang Khan, and watched the ceremony from a distance.

It’s only been half a month since we saw each other, and Dorje looks different from before. His hair has been shaved, he is wearing a yellow satin robe, a yellow satin cap on his head, high yellow satin boots on his feet, and a three-colored silk cloak wrapped in his hand. Thin stick. 【Baidu Encyclopedia】

Seeing his current appearance, instead of feeling the majesty of the reincarnated living Buddha, Yinyou was a little bit dumbfounded.

His brows were immature, his eyes wandered, and he sat in the middle of the lotus in a daze, feeling as if he didn't know where he was.

Under the auspices of the Grand Lama, the assessment officially began. They mixed the bowls, chopsticks, knives, spoons, clothes, hats, shoes, socks and other daily necessities used by the previous Dalai Lama with those used by others, and asked him to share them in public. pick it out.

Yinyou's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there were signs on those inconspicuous places at a glance. He guessed that he should have trained before.There are so many believers who come to worship outside, it's okay to make a fool of yourself in public.

This is considered to have passed the assessment, and the next step is the enthronement ceremony.

While the monks in the Potala Palace recited the Enthronement Sutra, Dorje was escorted by Sangji Gyatso to the lotus pier in the middle, ascended to the throne of the previous life, inherited the position of the previous legal system, and became the supreme ruler of the Gelug Sect.

From this moment on, he is no longer the village boy who was born outside the world but has a heart for prosperity. He has his own Dharma name—Lobsang Rinchen Tsangyang Gyatso.

Then, all present their offerings and prostrate themselves at the feet of the reincarnated venerable, who taps their heads with wooden sticks wrapped in colorless silk as a sign of blessing.

Yinyou felt that Duoji was like a puppet, mechanically completing a grand performance, but believers who came from afar still regarded him as the supreme spiritual leader.

Everyone was watching the ceremony, when the little sword spirit suddenly whispered in his ear: "Xiaoqi, look over there, your one o'clock direction."

Yinyou heard the prestige and looked over, only to see that Lhazang Khan had also come, and there were still several officials in official uniforms standing beside him.

Startled, he quickly touched Fuller with his arm, and asked softly, "Do you know those people?"

Fu Dun followed his gaze, and was also very surprised: "I only know the leader, who is from the Ministry of Rites, named Xu Zhuo, and the others should also be from the Ministry of Rites."

Yinyou took a deep breath, this should be the special envoy sent by Kangxi, but it was delayed due to a series of events such as the sudden death of Dalai Khan, the succession of Lazang Khan, and Sanji's welcome back to the reincarnated soul boy of the sixth Dalai Lama. Yes, and have not returned to Beijing yet.

Although he didn't know the other party, it didn't mean that the other party didn't know Elder Brother Qi. Yin You didn't want to cause trouble, so he softly ordered: "Let's go."

Along the way, Shun Anyan and Cao Yan were still discussing the enthronement ceremony just now.

Shun Anyan said with emotion: "How could I have imagined that Duoji is actually a reincarnated soul boy?"

Cao Yan said, "I don't think he wants to be this reincarnated soul boy at all."

"Why don't you want to? That's the leader of the Gelug Sect, who has the supreme power in this place."

"Happiness doesn't come from having rights."

"Then how can we have happiness?"

"..."

Cao Yan couldn't answer, so she turned to look at Yinyou.

Yinyou bent the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "Seek for benevolence and get benevolence."

When they got back to where they were staying, it was already getting dark.

After staying in Lhasa for a few days, I have seen what I should see. At the next stop, Yinyou is going to Houzang.

But at this time, a person came to their residence.

This person was a messenger sent by General Fei Yanggu, and he followed them all the way to inquire about their whereabouts. He sent a message to Yinyou—Galdan was in Kebuduo.

Yinyou went out this trip and walked around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for four months, from summer to winter, there is still a large area in Houzang, Yinyou also wants to visit.

Yinyou thought for a while, Kebuduo is the nomadic place of the Junggar tribe for generations, which is also the lair of Galdan.

So, is it any wonder he's hiding in Kobdo?Or is it that General Fei Yanggu can't figure it out, and is planning to send troops to his lair in such a cold winter, is he going to give away the head?

Obviously, neither.Then there was only one explanation—he had been out for too long, and General Feiyangu was urging him to go back quickly.

Yinyou said: "I still have one last place, we will return to Jiayuguan after we go."

At night, Yinyou held his sword and was about to go out, but was stopped by Yanheng: "Where are you going, Seventh Brother?"

"I'm going to explore the Potala Palace at night."

Yanheng was shocked when he heard this: "You can't do it, there are so many masters among those lamas, if you are discovered, you will be in danger."

Yinyou raised his eyebrows: "Don't believe my lightness kung fu?"

"That's not true," Yan Heng frowned, "It's just that the other party has a lot of people after all... What are you going to the Potala Palace for?"

Yinyou sighed: "I'm going to meet Duoji."

Yan Heng was surprised: "You still want to take him away."

Yinyou shook his head: "No."

"Then you still go to see him, give him hope for no reason, and let him down again."

Yinyou waved his hand, put his palm on Yanheng's shoulder, and didn't continue the topic: "Don't worry, it's a big deal to reveal your identity, and they can't do anything to me. Even the king of Tibet and the king of Khan have to ask me The Qing Dynasty proclaimed itself as a minister."

"I will go with you."

When Yinyou turned his head, he couldn't even see the figure, only the voice echoed in his ears: "Go to rest early."

When Yinyou sneaked into the meditation room without a sound, he heard the person on the bed sigh faintly.

He stood beside the bed and chuckled, "Aren't you happy that you are now the most admired living Buddha in Tibet?"

Duoji almost screamed out in fright, but fortunately he heard Yinyou's voice, covered his mouth immediately, and stood up from the bed: "You, you... why are you here?"

"I'll come see you."

There was only one oil lamp in the room, and the windows were closed tightly to prevent the wind, so the eyes were hazy and unreal.

Dorje said: "I don't want to be a Living Buddha, I just want to be an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people? Ordinary people don't have supreme power, and don't have a life without worrying about food and clothing."

"But...ordinary people have freedom."

Yinyou chuckled: "Who told you that ordinary people have freedom, they don't even have the right to life and death, what freedom are you talking about?"

"Please... take me out of here."

"Living in the Potala Palace, you are the king of the entire snow region. If you leave here, you will become a fugitive. Once you are caught by Sangye Gyatso, you will die. Not only will you die, but your parents and relatives will also die." Die because of you."

Hearing the word "death", Duoji lowered his head, especially when he heard that his parents and relatives died because of his involvement, he even took half a step back in fear, knocked his legs on the edge of the bed, and groaned.

He understood that the other party really just came to see him and did not intend to take him away.

A hand suddenly put on his shoulder, and Yinyou sighed softly in his ear: "I'm sorry, I can't take you away. If you leave, there will be a big mess in this place. Only you stay, Razang Khan Only with Sangye Gyatso can we maintain a delicate balance."

"I know, this is my destiny." Duoji sneered at himself and unwillingly, "What kind of reincarnated soul boy, what kind of king of the snowy region, I'm just a puppet."

"If it comes, it will be safe." Yinyou suddenly took his hand and stuffed something into his palm, "Put it away! Don't let anyone find out."

Duoji stroked something in his palm and asked, "What is this?"

"Life-saving talisman! I hope you will never need it." Yinyou joked, "But you remember, it will be a matter of time before the King Khan and the King of Tibet will tear each other apart. If Sangji Gyatso wins, you can be safe and sound." Be a living Buddha for a lifetime. Once Lazang Khan wins, what I give you can save your life."

Although Duoji didn't even see the whole picture of that thing now, and he didn't know why this thing could save his life.However, he just believed what the person in front of him said for no reason, even though they had only been friends for a few days.

"Okay, that's it, I'm leaving, there will be a period later."

He finished speaking on his own, turned around and left, disappearing into the night without a sound.

Dorje didn't even have time to say goodbye to him, he could only grasp the things in his hands in a daze.

He walked under the candlestick and spread out his palms, only then did he see clearly that it was still an amulet.The front side is engraved with a Buddha image and the reverse side has a strange symbol.

Yinyou was standing on the highest point of the Potala Palace with his sword in his arms. The strong wind made his robes flutter, and there was a sound of hunting.

The Milky Way above the head is like a waterfall, giving people the illusion that the stars can be picked up by hand. Below the feet is the supreme religious authority in this snowy area, and below is the mortal fireworks.

Closing his eyes, he seemed to see a young woman who traveled far away from Chang'an in the prosperous age to marry here 1000 years ago.As strong as Datang, it also depends on a girl to rule the country by herself.

After leaving Lhasa, Yinyou went to Houzang and stayed in Shigatse for a few days.This is the site controlled by the Dalai Lama. Compared with former Tibet, it is more isolated, and people believe in Buddhism more.

So far, Yinyou's trip has come to an end.A month later, they returned to Jiayuguan.

When I left, the sky was still full of yellow sand, and when I came back, the next door was covered with snow.

Fei Yanggu almost didn't recognize him when he saw him again. The elder brother who was originally fair and handsome, now came back dark and rough.

This... How should I explain this to the Holy One? ? ?

"The emperor has already issued three decrees, urging Brother Seven to return to the capital, and he must return to the capital before the Chinese New Year."

Yinyou smiled arrogantly: "The general is away, and the king's life will not be tolerated."

Fei Yanggu was almost fainted by his anger: "I'll take it, I'll take it! If you give me an old bone, Seventh Brother will spare my life."

Yinyou's arrogant arrogance immediately dissipated: "Let me stay for another half a year. After half a year, I will definitely capture Galdan with my own hands and go back to the emperor's father."

Fei Yanggu was unmoved: "No, this minister can't be the master."

Yinyou sighed: "I've gone back, if I don't have to come back after the year, why make me make this extra trip."

Fei Yanggu repeatedly waved his hands: "That's not necessary, everything is subject to the emperor's arrangement."

Yinyou sat on a chair and began to play tricks: "I won't go back, or General Fei Yanggu will tie me up and take me back to the capital."

Fei Yanggu thought for a moment, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.Yinyou thought he would succumb to this.Unexpectedly, the general called out with great anger: "Come here, come in with a bundle of hemp rope!"

"!!!"
