The eldest son of the red mansion

So that night, these generals who opposed the battle led their soldiers and horses to surround the living Buddha's palace, and then broke in without any explanation.

The soldiers guarding the living Buddha's palace were also heroic. They were fanatics who had been brainwashed by religion.

But the difference in numbers was too great. Although these guards fought desperately, they were quickly killed by the generals who attacked the palace.

When these generals broke into the Living Buddha's bedroom, the Great Living Buddha Lurong Dengba was lying in the arms of a woman trembling.

The things that came down were naturally easy to handle. These people imprisoned the Living Buddha in a side hall of the palace, and then sent someone to send a message to the Central Plains army, requesting surrender.

Xiao Yue originally thought that Lhasa, as the capital of western Tibet, would naturally have a bloody battle, but he did not expect that when his army was more than 100 miles away from Lhasa, he received a letter of surrender from the opposite side.

The letter of surrender is also very clear, that is, these generals in Lhasa are willing to surrender the city and hand over the living Buddha Lurong Dengpa, but there is only one requirement, that is, their lives must be preserved, and then their wealth in Lhasa must be preserved. , the Central Plains people must also ensure that Qiu will not commit any crimes.

Xiao Yue thought about it for a while, and felt that he could not fully agree to their demands, after all, this kind of thing required bargaining.

So Xiao Yue wrote back to these generals, these nobles must hand over all your land to the farmers for farming.

As for their property in the city, as well as shops, Xiao Yue can guarantee that they will still belong to their private property.

After these generals in Lhasa got a reply from Xiao Yue, they discussed carefully for a while and felt that this condition was acceptable.

Because these people have already inquired clearly, the policies that Xiao Yue has implemented since entering Tibet, they have long since given up hope for the land.

These people did not dare to delay, because Xiao Yue changed his mind for fear of a long delay, so he immediately sent messengers to Xiao Yue's camp again.

Xiao Yue met the messengers in the big tent of the Chinese army. After knowing that the generals in the middle city of Lhasa had agreed to hand over all the land in exchange for the safety of the shops and family members in the house, Xiao Yue was naturally lenient to these people. The courier promised that as long as the land was handed over, he would not commit any crime against the city of Lhasa.

The messenger returned to Lhasa City again, and told the generals about Xiao Yue's promise. After getting the promise, these people no longer had the intention of resisting.

So when Xiao Yue's army came to the city of Lhasa, they saw that the gates on all sides of Lhasa city were open, and the people coming and going did not look like they were about to fight at all.

Instead, a group of nobles from western Tibet stood in front of the west gate, and they all came to welcome Xiao Yue's army.

Under the leadership of these nobles, Xiao Yue entered the city of Lhasa and directly came to the palace of the Living Buddha Lurong Dengba.

When Xiao Yue met the Great Living Buddha and saw his embarrassed appearance, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Great Living Buddha, do you know this general?"

Lurong Dengba Rinpoche took a look at Xiao Yue, and then said dejectedly: "You should be the commander of the Central Plains army by your attire."

"You still have some eyesight, how about it? Now that you are my prisoner, do you still want to resist our Celestial Dynasty?"

Hearing this, the great living Buddha showed a cowardly look in his eyes. Finally, he suddenly knelt in front of Xiao Yue, weeping bitterly and said: "I am originally a living Buddha conferred by the heavenly court, and I am devoted to the heavenly court with all my heart. The generals are also too big-hearted, they pushed me out, and used my name to contend against the Celestial Empire, I am completely their puppet, and please be magnanimous and spare my dog's life."

Xiao Yue looked at this living Buddha kneeling on the ground and shook his head. When these people faced the serfs, they were so greedy and cool that you couldn't even imagine how vicious they were.

I didn't expect to be so weak now.

Xiao Yue was not in the mood to chatter with him anymore, so he left the prison cell, returned to the main hall, and then summoned the generals under his command, as well as the Tibetan nobles who had surrendered.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Yue said to the following: "Now the Great Living Buddha in Western Tibet has been captured by us, I think the matter in Western Tibet will end soon, and now it's time to consider the aftermath. .How should we deal with this Great Living Buddha?"

The generals under Xiao Yue shook their heads after hearing this, they are not good at this kind of thing.

But the nobles who surrendered and came over exchanged glances. They didn't want to save the living Buddha's life, on the contrary, they wanted the living Buddha to reach bliss sooner.

Because the influence of this living Buddha in Tibet is really too great, if he survives this time, will it be good for them in the future?

So these Tibetan nobles who surrendered said to Xiao Yue, "This Great Living Buddha in Western Tibet has too much influence. If he is not effective in ruling the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty in Western Tibet, it is better to let him ascend to bliss early."

The ideas of these people happened to coincide with Xiao Yue's. Xiao Yue thought that this was to control Western Tibet, rather than make Western Tibet a semi-independent kingdom as before. obstacles.

but.Xiao Yue still couldn't openly say that he wanted to kill this living Buddha, he could only show embarrassment, noncommittal.

It should be said that these princes and nobles in western Tibet are not very capable in fighting, but they are very good at observing words and demeanor.

When they saw Xiao Yue's face, they knew that this great general wanted the Great Living Buddha to ascend to heaven, but also didn't want to get a bad name.

So one of the princes and nobles, Zhaxi Qucuo, stood up and said to Xiao Yue: "General Marshal, I heard that the Great Living Buddha has practiced Powa method to a very advanced level. I think this Great Living Buddha. After this If you already feel world-weary, you will soon practice the Powa method to return to bliss, so why not let me persuade the Great Living Buddha to let the Great Living Buddha go on his way early."

When Xiao Yue heard it, he naturally agreed, and at the same time, he also remembered this Tashi Qucuo. Since he has passed the nomination certificate, he can be assigned some positions with real power in Tibet in the future, which can be considered as a gift for him. award.

After the adjournment of this meeting, the Great Living Buddha Lurong Dengba went to Powafaden to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss that night because he hated the sufferings of the world.

On the second day, after Xiao Yue heard the news, he sighed for a while to the princes and nobles in western Tibet, "The general wanted to let the living Buddha return to the temple after the chaos was quelled, but he didn't expect the living Buddha to return to the temple." The practice of Buddhism is so profound that the people who abandoned western Tibet returned to bliss.”

Chapter 791 Conspiracy

After Xiao Yue swept away all the obstacles in Lhasa, he began to promote his policies to the whole of western Tibet.

All of a sudden, there was a bloody storm in the whole of western Tibet. Those nobles and living Buddhas in the eyes of the common people were either pulled out and beheaded, or forced to commit suicide and went to the west.

The land confiscated by the nobles and temples was evenly distributed by Xiao Yue to the serfs below.

These serfs were given to the princes and nobles and lama temples for generations, and they never had their own property after suffering. Now that they have land, they are all incomparably grateful to Xiao Yue, and they all compare it to the living Buddha.

Xiao Yue was very happy here, and he had won the hearts of the people in Tibet, but he didn't feel that as Xiao Yue gained the hearts of the people and his prestige became higher and higher in Tibet, those Eight Banners cavalry gradually got along with them. Xiao Yue's Fenwu Battalion was stationed separately.

It turns out that Jirigala, who is the most prestigious of the Eight Banners, considers himself a family member of the emperor, and the other leaders of the Eight Banners are also loyal to Jia Ke.

These people looked at Xiao Yue's deeds in western Tibet, and they completely set aside the imperial court and established a set of policies on their own there, so these people suspected that Xiao Yue had a rebellious heart and wanted to occupy western Tibet for self-reliance. be king.

So Jirigla immediately separated the army from Xiao Yue's Fenwu camp, and used cavalry from a distance to monitor every move of the Fenwu camp.

One is that he asked the secretary next to him to write a memorial, sent it to the capital quickly, reported the situation here to Jia Ke, and asked Jia Ke for instructions on the next step.

And Xiao Yue is now completely immersed in the transformation of western Tibet, and he never thought that these actions of his have violated taboos.

Besides, Jia Ke received Jirigra in the capital.Immediately after the memorial sent by Kuai Ma, he was taken aback.

One must know that Jia Ke held Xiao Yue very seriously, not only married his sister to him, but also made him a marquis, if he rebelled, it would be really a wolf.

Jia Ke took the memorial sent by the fast horse and hesitated for an entire afternoon in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and finally realized that this kind of thing is better to be believed than not to be believed.

"Li Deshan."

As soon as Li Deshan, who was serving beside him, got Jia Ke's call, he immediately ran over.

"Long live, the slave is here."

"Is there anyone from us in the Fenwu Camp?"

Li Deshan was taken aback when he heard Jia Ke's question. The Fenwu Camp can be regarded as the emperor's old army, and the leader of the Fenwu Camp, Xiao Yue, is also the emperor's loyal confidant. Now what does the emperor mean by asking this question?

Since Li Deshan was skeptical, he had to answer the emperor's question, "If you answer the emperor's question, there are a few candidates for the hidden guards in the Fenwu camp, but they are not high-ranking."

Jia Ke thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Your people immediately contact the other generals in the Fenwu camp to see if these people are still obeying my orders."
