Chapter 5 Cooperation
Chang Sihao pulled Sonam Gyatso to avoid it. But he saw a single rider in the horse team. Straight to yourself. Immediately, people approached and smiled: "It turns out that Brother Chang is here." No wonder we look familiar from afar. As he spoke, he saddled and dismounted.
Chang Sihao recognized it as Wei Lingchuan. It's a little embarrassing. He arched his hand and said, "Brother Wei is invited." ...... you guys" Wei Lingchuan said with a smile: "I heard that Young Master Qin entered Beijing today. Lord Zheng prepared a banquet in the Danjian Pavilion early. Personally led me out of the city to greet us. Ready to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him. It's not. Everyone is behind. As he spoke, the group of people had approached. The dozen or so samurai in front of the head split in two. Zheng Mengzhu and Qin Juexiang were in unison. Qi Qi appeared. Behind are Tong Zhiyi, Luo Chengyuan and Jiang Shiyou, the three chiefs. Chen Shengyi, Ma Mingshao and others are among them. The crowd dismounted and saluted. Wei Lingchuan went to the general altar to report.
Lord Zheng smiled happily: "Chang Xian's nephew is also here. That's the best way to go. Qin Juexiang ran over and took Chang Sihao's hand and shook it, and was about to speak. Meet Sonam Gyatso. Asked: "This is ......" Chang Sihao thought to himself that Qin Langchuan's death had a lot to do with Sonam Gyatso. If you let Qin Juexiang know who he is. You have to make a fuss on the spot. I was about to cover it up. Sonam Gyatso had already said his name with a smile.
Chang Sihao obviously felt that Qin Juexiang pulled his hand stiffly. The whole person has a kind of sharpness. Just about to dissuade. But I saw that his eyelids were slightly closed and opened. A picture of sudden memory. Laughing: "Ah...... It turned out to be Guru Sonam. The lama is young and the Dharma is profound. Art's three uniques. He can be in charge of Sera Temple, one of the three major temples of the Yellow Sect. It's remarkable. Sonam Gyatso smiled: "Yes." Qin Juexiang saw that he was not modest. Slightly surprised. He smiled, "My eldest brother and grandfather had the privilege of learning the Master's Kalachakra Teachings. When I came back to talk about it, I was full of praise. I've always wanted to see what kind of person the Guru is. I heard that the Guru went with me to the west. I thought you and I would never see each other again. I didn't expect to meet in Beijing today. It's a blessing. ”
Lord Zheng also came to meet Sonam Gyatso. He smiled and said, "Master, don't come to harm's way." Chang Sihao was stunned when he said this. I saw Sonam Gyatso nodding and smiling: "Zheng Shi is good." The little monk is all right. Old Swordsman Xu is in good health. Zheng Meng said, "Thanks to the blessing of the master." He is as healthy as ever. Now preparations are being made for the sword trial. The previous visit of the Guru came and went in a hurry. The communication is not deep. Quite a pity. This time I could have stayed a few more days. A few days later, the old swordsman Xu went out to see the master. And I must be very happy. Sonam Gyatso nodded yes. Glancing at Chang Sihao with a smile.
Chang Si Haoden understood: he already knew that this was the general altar of the Hundred Swords Alliance. No wonder I said to drink instead. He laughed abruptly. It turned out that my careful thinking had already been seen through by him. I didn't expect this Tibetan monk to travel so widely. It seems that he still has a relationship with the old swordsman Xu. It was a surprise.
At this time, the salute sounded in the main altar. The door is wide open. Jing Wenchong and Wei Lingchuan came out with more than 100 chivalrous swords. Most of them are dignitaries of the Hundred Swords League's industries in Beijing. Gao Yang, Shao Fang, etc., who Chang Sihao is familiar with, are also included. There are too many people. I didn't bother to talk to me for a while.
Qin Juexiang was busy arguing with the swords. Jing Wenzhong and Chen Shengyi have been separated for four years. I sighed when I saw each other. The crowd entered the main altar with a lively bang. Come to the Bullet Sword Pavilion. Zheng Mengzhu and Jing Wenchong accompanied Qin, Chang, Chen, Ma and Sonam Gyatso to the third floor with the three chiefs. The rest of the swords accompanied the subordinates of the Qin family to stay on the first and second floors. Everyone sat down. Lord Zheng Meng sat in the main seat of the front door. Jing Wenzhong and the three chiefs are listed on the left. Qin Juexiang, Chang Sihao, Ma Mingshao, and Chen Sheng were on the right. Sonam Gyatso sat between the Lord of the Zheng League and Jing Wenzhong. Several people from the Hundred Swords Alliance saw that Ma Mingshao's position was arranged by Qin Juexiang above Chen Shengyi. They all glanced at each other. Tea is put aside. Wine and food are served together. Sonam Gyatso said: "The leader of the alliance knows about Danba Santon's entry into Beijing. Lord Zheng nodded. Jing asked: "Sinshapa Tseden Dorje took the whole Tibetan land lightly. Now the White Sect monks are sent to Beijing. It seems to pave the way for the closure. In fact, the ambition is not necessarily here. Maybe it's just a delaying tactic. ”
Sonam Gyatso said with a smile: "Director Jing is far-sighted. Sure enough, a cone broke. ”
Lord Zheng asked, "Does the master know how many soldiers and horses Caidan Dorje has in his hands?" Sonam Gyatso said, "About 200,000." Chen Shengyi was surprised and said: "I am only 100,000 elite soldiers." Tibetan areas have always been underpopulated. In addition, the four major sects of red, white, flower and yellow focus on spreading Buddhism. Led to monks everywhere. I didn't expect that Tseden Dorje would be able to gather so many troops. This is not to be underestimated. Sonam Gyatso smiled: "Don't hide it from the donor. Of these 200,000 people. But there were 170,000 or 80,000 monks. Usually kept in the monastery. In particular, there are many White monks. Most of these monks were untrained. But he spared no effort to propagate the Dharma and defend the teachings. Therefore, the combat power is weak and weak. It's strong, but it's also extremely strong. ”
Zheng Meng said: "Tibet is barren. Production is limited. And the roads are impassable. Inconvenient to come and go. Tseden Dorje is not small in ambition. But he was trapped in the heavenly city. If he wants to make a difference. It is necessary to take Sichuan and Yunnan to enrich the soldiers. Then gather Miao Yao, Wuman, Wuyi and other tribes to make a rebellion. ”
Sonam Gyatso praised: "The alliance leader is reckoning. Everything you expected. Then he told Caidan Dorje about the collection of Yunnan miners. Tong Zhi left his hand to twist the white beard. The expression is solemn: "Yunnan is rich in mineral deposits. Today, copper and silver production accounts for almost half of the country's total. if he takes it up. Counterfeit money will be minted. Replace your belongings in large quantities. It has had a great impact on the economy of our Ming Dynasty. "He is in charge of the financial power in the League. It is especially sensitive to the economy.
Chang Sihao frowned and said, "Alliance leader." We'll have to figure out a way to deal with him. ”
Zheng Meng's master saw that Qin Juexiang had been bowing his head and eating vegetables. Silent, silent. asked, "The virtuous nephew has a high opinion." ”
The table was quiet. Qin Juexiang raised his head: "Ah." Yes. Ha ha. In fact, these countries are major events. The little nephew is young. I don't understand. Uncle Zheng and the swordsmen have been accustomed to seeing the situation in Beijing for a long time. Presumably, it must have been a success. ”
The crowd exchanged glances with each other. Apparently not satisfied with this grinding language. But he said again, "If I don't have to say it." The little nephew thought. Water can carry a boat or capsize a boat. Monks and soldiers believe in Buddhism. Then the matter of retreating from the enemy should also be settled in the Dharma. I'm afraid that this matter will require Master Sonam to pay more attention. ”
Lord Zheng Meng was very pleased: "The views of the virtuous nephew are in line with me. ”
Sonam Gyatso smiled: "Central Plains sentence. It's called a bad name, and it's not right. If Tseden Dorje's status is recognized. Then even if the little monk has the heart to get rid of demons. But he can't go back to the sky. So this time I rushed to the capital. We look forward to working with you. Based on the attempt to sabotage Damba Thornton's trip. Get ahead of the curve and take the initiative. ”
Zheng Meng said: "Caidan Dorje is making trouble for rebellion. Plotting the Central Plains. How can we let it go? Be self-reliant with your Guru. Together. I hope to be able to restrain my family. Please. The crowd toasted. Look at each other and smile.
A tour of wine. Zheng Mengzhu said to Qin Jue: "I have already sent someone to the virtuous nephew for the former. Speaking of the three joining forces. How is it that the nephew of the unjudged. ”
Qin Juexiang smiled and put down his glass: "The little nephew thinks about it." I still don't think it's appropriate. ”
Everyone's faces changed in unison. There was silence again when the table was boarded.
Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "Actually, the little nephew has a little bit of human strength. How can it be compared with the dignified Dongchang and the Hundred Swords Alliance. And I'm your nephew and nephew. Say that the three join forces. It has the meaning of comparison. It's too much. The little nephew is a rough learner. Shallow experience. It was not enough to discuss major matters with Uncle and the swordsmen. Uncle but there is a decree. Tell me to come down. If the little nephew can do it, he must work hard to do it. ”
Lord Zheng Meng smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew Teqian." General Jiang said when he returned from Shanxi. Jue Xiang, this kid understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into account. Very leaderlike. The future is limitless. Some time ago, I heard that the virtuous nephew was quelling the rebellion in the surrounding area. Things are handled decently. It has won the praise of the heroes of the Jin realm. I couldn't tell how happy I was. ”
Qin Juexiang smiled and said, "Uncle praised it. How can the little nephew have so much ability. It's not the same people in the rivers and lakes who give face. ”
Jing asked: "Old Man Qin died painfully. I'm all sad. Although this matter has a lot to do with Guru Sonam Gyatso. But it was also the situation at the time. It's a war. Our alliance has a deep relationship with the Guru. I know that he is merciful. The mind is only on spreading the Dharma. Transform sentient beings. Whether it is for the Tibetans, Tatars or Han people. It's all the same. I hope that the virtuous nephew should also abandon the previous suspicions. It's good to live in peace with your guru. ”
Qin Juexiang laughed: "Where is this?" Visible outside. The so-called don't fight, don't know each other. After my grandfather's battle with his guru. Quite a tribute to him. And if it weren't for the guru's palm to crush the falling rock. I'm afraid that my grandfather will die in the Yungang Grottoes. So the little nephew not only hated the guru. On the contrary, I always wanted to meet with the guru. Take care of it. Take a look at the style of Lama Tsongkhapa's three masteries. ”
Sonam Gyatso said: "I heard that the old benefactor of Qin died. The little monk has always regretted it. Now I see that Young Master Qin is open-minded. Sure enough, there is a wind of respecting ancestors. It is worthy of being the queen of Qinmen. If Young Master Qin doesn't give up. The little monk is willing to pass on the Mahamudra divine skills that I teach to the donor. to apologize. ”
Zheng Mengzhu and the others were all surprised when they heard this. Huangjiao is in the middle of the three peerless studies. The Seven Wheels of Fruit Path was used as a change of art. More than 100 years ago, it was passed on to the old alliance leader Wei Tianzi by the Great Mercy King. It is not mysterious, Kalachakra is the result of Tsongkhapa's research and enlightenment based on the pile gong taught by the old man Tianzheng. It is of the same origin as the family lineage in the Central Plains. It is not surprising that only the Mahamudra is a secret of Tibetan secrets. Xiang Wei passed to Middle-earth. Today, Sonam Gyatso is willing to teach and Qin to fight. It can be regarded as breaking the last secret mirror of Tsongkhapa's Tibetan martial arts. It is of extraordinary significance.
Qin Juexiang smiled: "Thank you so much, Master." However, the Qin family could not accept this generous gift in vain. Jue Xiang would like to give my grandfather's handwritten secret spectrum of the Qin family's great sect to the master. Let's take it as a change of art. How is it. ”
Sonam Gyatso said happily: "I can get the handbook of the old benefactor of Qin." That's a great relief for the little monk's thirst. ”
In the midst of laughter. Qin Jue rang out and sat down. Fill each one with wine in turn.
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Martial arts must be taught by words and deeds. It's useless to just look at the secret score. Absolutely resounding with books for art. In fact, it is still cheap. The scene looks much better. "I saw him talking and laughing with everyone. But there was a faint smell in my heart that I couldn't speak.
