There was chaos in Tibet, and it spread to Sichuan.

In the eighth year of Xianfeng, after the golden vase was cast, the 12th Dalai Lama Chenglie Gyatso "sat on the bed", and the regent of the living Buddha was regent. Re Zhen this person, conceited and arrogant, once in power, he carried out the order, and commanded the Kasha government every day. In the tenth year of Xianfeng, the contradictions between the two sides intensified, and Rezhen arrested the chief Kalun Shazha on the grounds of "fornicating letters with the Gurkhas".

Although Xia Zha is in prison, he still has his hands and eyes to the sky. He contacted Ganden Monastery, one of the six major monasteries of the Yellow Sect, and the presiding officer of Ganden Monastery, Bei Dan Dunzhu, expressed his service. This Ganden Monastery was created by Tsongkhapa, the ancestor of the Yellow Sect, and it is the ancestral temple of the Yellow Sect, which is not trivial. Bei Dan Dunzhu also connected Xia Zha to Drepung Monastery, which is also one of the six major temples of the Yellow Sect, and Drepung Monastery also expressed its support for Xia Zha. Drepung Monastery is the largest temple of the Yellow Sect, in Lhasa, and Ganden Monastery, Sera Monastery and three of them, known as "the three major temples of Lhasa". In this way, the secular power and religious forces in Lhasa joined hands and stood on the opposite side of Rezhen.

In the first year of Tongzhi, Drepung Monastery held the "Drepung Rizha" puja, and on the grounds that "the regent reduced the charity of the puja", he challenged Rezhen. Gaden Monastery immediately corresponds with drums. Things got bigger and bigger, and the prayer festival was forced to be postponed.

Seeing that it is not a matter, the people from the Panchen Lama's side have come out to be peacemakers. Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse sent Zhuo Nihe, the "chief chef", as a representative, to mediate. If the Panchen himself comes forward, Lhasa will probably have to sell face to a certain extent, and a "catering officer", who will take care of you? Naturally, it was in vain.

The Rezhen decree did not work, and Lhasa was basically in a state of anarchy.

By the way, the Dalai Lama was six years old at this time. The Panchen was seven years old. It is still far from the days of "pro-government". I had to watch the people below toss around, and I couldn't insert a word.

Xia Zha felt that his mouth had been grinded enough, and the heat was almost ready, and he could do it.

The monks of Gaden Monastery and Drepung Monastery raided the Nimugyache Monastery where Shazha was imprisoned, snatched Shazha out, and stationed him in Gaden Monastery. and closely guarded.

Shazha immediately issued a statement, recounting Rezhen's mistakes, and declared that he had been instructed by the Dalai Lama to abolish Rezhen's regent; It was also announced the establishment of "Ganzhe Chungji", an organization similar to the "Joint Council of Monks and Laymen", to replace Rezhen and handle all government affairs in Lhasa and Former Tibet.

At the same time, he sharpened his sword and organized an armed force, including the monks of the two monasteries and the Kham merchants, to attack the Sidling Monastery in the Rezhen Residence Festival and eliminate the Rezhen forces by force.

But. Before we do it, we have to look at the eyes of the minister stationed in Tibet.

At that time, the minister in Tibet was called Manqing. was mediocre, and the matter had already reached this point, so he sent someone to "investigate". In charge of the matter were Li Yupu, the commissar of the grain affairs committee, Tang Huaiwu, the guerrilla general, and Ma Tengjiao, the general manager, headed by Li Yupu.

Xia Zha and Rezhen, both sides complained to the minister in Tibet, but Xia Zha and Li Yupu colluded well, and Li Yupu returned to Manqing, and it was not Rezhen who sent him. So, Man Qing got off the note and reprimanded Rezhen greatly.

Xia Zha relieved himself and began to make a big move.

The monks of Ganden Monastery and Drepung Monastery opened the armory of Potala Mountain without permission, took out cannons, and bombarded Sidrin Monastery. Rezhen ordered a counterattack, but he was outnumbered, so he had to take the regent's seal letter and flee to the mainland, and went to Beijing to "sue the emperor".

However, before Rezhen arrived in Beijing, Manqing's excerpt arrived first: he asked Ge to remove Rezhen's name of "Hutu Ketu", cancel the seal, and ask Xia Zha to replace Rezhen as regent.

At that time, King Gong was still in power, and the emperor of Tibet was far away, and the situation was unknown, so it was natural to follow the opinions of the minister in Tibet; In addition, I also thought that since it had become a fact, more things were better than less things, so I was allowed to play.

Poor Rezhen, when he arrived in Beijing, he learned that he had been removed from his position as regent, had no way to call for help, and could not return to Tibet, and was almost displaced. Later, the Military Aircraft Department greeted the Li Fan Yuan, and he settled down in the Miaoying Temple, but under the fence, life was really not very easy.

King Gong's handling of this matter, Guan Zhuofan was greatly dissatisfied.

Tibet is not North Korea, Vietnam, or China's "subject country," but China's "dependent territory." Since Fukang'an requested the implementation of the "29 Articles of the Regulations on the Rehabilitation of the Aftermath in Tibet", the role of the minister stationed in Tibet is no longer only to "supervise Tibetan affairs" during the Yongzheng period, nor is it to "jointly manage Tibetan affairs" with the Dalai Lama in the early Qianlong period, but as the representative of the emperor, as a messenger, "overseeing affairs and presiding over Tibetan affairs".

Gaozong, Renzong, and Xuanzong have all repeatedly stressed that the Dalai Lama, down to the Dalai Lama, must "handle all incidents in accordance with the instructions of the ministers" and "order the ministers stationed in Tibet to handle them." Not only that, but the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, and the Kalun have no right to "go directly to the imperial court" -- they must be transferred by the minister stationed in Tibet.

That is to say, although the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama are "enemies" of the ministers stationed in Tibet in terms of etiquette, in fact, they are not only the emperor's subordinates, but also the subordinates of the ministers stationed in Tibet.

In addition to Tibet's diplomatic and defense powers, the minister stationed in Tibet also has the final decision power in administration, personnel, justice, and finances, and is the highest military and political chief in Tibet in the true sense.

With regard to Tibet, there is absolutely no question of "non-interference in Tibet's internal affairs."

Man Qingyong was cowardly, listened to and believed, and indulged in internal strife in Tibet; King Gong, on the other hand, calmed down the situation and acknowledged the outcome of the struggle, which would inevitably greatly weaken the authority of the central government in Tibet, and the ambition of the unscrupulous people was a stupid move to abolish his martial arts.

As a matter of fact, although the imperial court suffered losses at the hands of Britain and France at that time, its authority in Tibet was still there, and if the minister stationed in Tibet had severely reprimanded Shazha, Bei Dan Tondrup, and others, and had waited for the troops, there would have been no civil strife in Tibet -- at that time, no one dared to rebel.

Rezhen is of course a fool, but he is the regent officially appointed by the imperial court, even if he wants to be replaced, he has to be replaced by the imperial court, and whoever has the most strength must not be allowed to rush over to do it!

Guan Zhuofan thought that King Gong would deal with it like this, and there would be endless troubles. Sure enough, within a year, Tibet was in trouble again, and this time, Sichuan was also involved.

Xia Zha not only got rid of the shackles, but also defeated Rezhen in turn, and replaced him, and the most critical foreign aid was the head of Ganden Monastery, Bei Dan Tondrup. Therefore, after Shazha became the regent, Bedanton rose to the top and became the chargé d'affaires of Kalon. However, this man is extremely ambitious, and he is not satisfied with a Kalun chargé d'affaires, he is staring at the seat under Xia Za's ass.

On the one hand, Bedantonzhu regarded himself as a benefactor, and demanded from Xia Zayu; On the one hand, he controlled the "Gan Zhe Zhongji" and used the organization to weave forces and fight against dissidents.

When Xia Zha felt that something was wrong, he was helpless to take the Bedandunzhu, the wings of the Bedandunzhu had been completed, and the tail was too big to fall.

The two sides continued to quarrel, and finally turned against each other, seeing that the story of Rezhen and Xia Zha was about to be repeated again.

However, Xia Zha's popularity is much better than Rezhen, and it is not easy for Bei Dan Dunzhu to deal with Xia Zha with the same set against Rezhen.

What to do?

Bei Dandunzhu's gaze fell on the Zhan pair at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet.
