Because the alliance between Zampu and the great nobles must be in the presence of the Bon masters before it can be considered formal—if the alliance does not kill and sacrifice, the nobles consider it to lack sacredness; But if you kill and sacrifice, the Buddhist monks are unwilling to do it, so they can only let the Bon master hold the knife.

This is where Zampu can't do without Bon, after all, his rule over the plateau still has to rely on the nobility, once the nobility has the land shaking, then the entire empire is shaking.

So Zampu could only shake his hand and whisper: Ben Yongzhong is now willing to issue a decree to recognize that two religions can exist in the country at the same time, and both religions can be practiced and cannot harm each other.

"I hope Zampu will allow me to live in Samye Monastery." Seeing that Zampu had backed down, Xiangri Ulle made his first request.

Zampu's eyes were hollow, and he reluctantly agreed.

"I hope Zampu will allow the Benbo masters to study the new scriptures, and build a mausoleum for Zampu." This was the second request of the Žan-Uller.

In fact, the so-called new scriptures are Bon secretly copying Buddhist classics, changing them, and then passing them off as their own; At this time, Zampu had made a vow, and after his death, he was buried in the pagoda built for himself in Samye Monastery, and the funeral was also done in accordance with the Buddhist form.

Zampu could only nod his head at this.

"Finally, I hope that Zampu will be restored to the status of the Bon apostles, and they will not be put on the tax register again."

Previously, when Buddhism (some were brought by the princess of the Tang Dynasty who married, and some came from the Tianzhu region) entered the plateau, there was a fierce struggle with the Bon religion. Chung Bajie was buried alive, the Bon were either ordered to believe in Buddhism or exiled, and the rest were all beaten back to the status of ordinary people and paid taxes for Zampu.

Now it's time for the Xiangri Uller to counterattack.

In the end, all three requests of the Imperial Honbo Shixiang Ri Ulle were accepted, and the Bon counterattack was initially victorious.

And to Cai Bang. Mangtso, Zampu couldn't punish him, he could only ask his close ministers to get a copy of the "mobile wooden tablet", and write Cai Bang on it first. The monk Qixin'er was guilty of negligence in the previous battle of Pingrong City, and then he personally stamped the "seal of goodness" at the end of the wooden tablet, once this seal was stamped, it means that Zampu pardoned the offender, which is the prerogative of the Western Tibetan nobles, also called "sealing".

Cai Bang who got the seal removed. Mangtso was very proud, and then he retreated with everyone very satisfied, and walked away.

Feeling even more frustrated, Zampu could only bury his head deep at this moment, while Concubine Boyong wept beside him.

Later, several financial officials placed the red, white, and yellow books in front of Zampu's eyes in turn.

The Red Book is the statistics of Dingkou and Tianfu in the Gaoyuan Division, the White Book is the statistics of vassals such as Zhangxiong and Qinghai, and the Yellow Book is the statistics of the Helong Han Lands that were conquered later.

Among them, Zampu only read the red book, this red book is completely different from when he was in the alliance, this time the loss of the elite Ding Kou of the Xifan Ke soldiers is very large, the five headquarters of Ruben almost lost a quarter to more than a third of the Gui, the army Yong, more dead and captured countless, the paper is full of sketched handwriting, the corners of Zampu's mouth trembled, and then said to the financial officer very depressed: "So many people have died, what should the land do?" ”

The treasurer cautiously replied that the boundaries of the fields must be redrawn as soon as possible, otherwise the fields under the names of those who died in the war would be left uncultivated, and would soon be barren, and the taxes collected in the coming year would be drastically reduced.

"This time, Ben Yongzhong is going to focus on distributing the ownerless fields to the civilians who originally had little industry." Zamp is now also eager to revitalize the power of the common people.

In addition, he instructed the financial officer that the re-establishment of Ben Yongzhong's forbidden army does not need so many people this time, and the warriors of the forbidden army do not need support, archers and yongs to support, Ben Yongzhong should follow the experience of Gao Yue of the Tang family, let the forbidden army break away from Dongdai, and only station and practice on the side of Ben Yongzhong's palace, and learn cutting-edge firearms as soon as possible, and soon Dafan will also form a new army to support the situation.

"However, these things don't need to be done by Ben Yongzhong himself...... Summoning Master Lotus and Muni from Samye Monastery, Ben Yongzhong will fulfill his promise before the war and give up the position of Zampu to Muni. ”

Then Concubine Boyong wept bitterly, she was pitiful, and she fell down in front of Zampu's boots, and said, "The great god Zampu, why should you abandon your people?"

Zan Pu whispered to her, don't worry too much, Ben Yongzhong has been killing traitors since he was eighteen years old to succeed to the throne, he has never seen any storms in his life, and now the Zen position is also to retreat as advance, and in the future, Ben Yongzhong will never let go of Cai Bang and Shang Qi'er.

Later, the scheming Zampu really announced the Zen position, he called Muni from the temple, and said to Muni in a serious voice:

"Ben Yongzhong has only done three things in his life, the first thing is to establish the laws of the Five Wooden Tablets of True Wisdom, the Three Judgment Wooden Tablets, and the Mobile Wooden Tablets, which strengthened the order of the plateau; The second thing is that he conquered the Helong Han land externally, and also conquered the Nibora country to the south, and expanded the territory of Dafan to the extreme; The third thing is to promote Buddhism and establish a monk offering system, so that the land of Dafan will be happy and auspicious. Also, for example, the refinement of the self-sue system, the requirement for the nobles to enhance their moral cultivation, the establishment of the border moral theory (similar to the Tang Festival Envoy) system, etc., but compared with the first three things, it is a little smaller, very ashamed, and made these insignificant contributions, but this does give you considerable pressure, plus now that the Tang Fan war is prolonging, the domestic Dingkou attrition is serious, and it is also very tricky. After you take over the position of Zampu, you can't discard the three things of Ben Yongzhong, and if you encounter something that is difficult to decide, you can come and ask Ben Yongzhong, or you can consult Master Lotus. ”

Muni really didn't know why he had to take over his father's position when he was originally practicing tantric Buddhism in Samye Monastery.

But what he knows very well is that today's Xibo is in turmoil, and it is time to make all kinds of decisions.

When Trisong Detsen and his concubines entered the Tiger Garden and the Deer Garden to live in seclusion, Muni succeeded to the throne, and he was temporarily called "Muni Zampu" by his subordinates before he was honored.

After consulting with his teacher, Padmasambhava, Muni decided to make a decision to do the following things first:

First of all, negotiate peace with the Tang family as soon as possible to eliminate the war, because there is no more blood to lose in Xifan, even if it is not hesitant to abandon the peripheral territories for this purpose;

secondly, to redeem nearly 30,000 captives, and to re-divide the land and property on the plateau, restore the industry, and rethink the division of the identities of Yong, Yanggeng, Ninggen, and Wenmo, Muni hopes to free the slaves and comfort the commoners, so as to alleviate the increasingly acute contradictions;

In addition, as soon as possible, the Tantric Buddhism of the plateau, the Zen Buddhism of the Han Dynasty, and the policy of reconciliation and coexistence among the Bon religions should be implemented to stabilize the increasingly fierce conflicts.
