Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 262 Chapter 262, Gushi Khan was so arrogant, Li Dingguo made great contributions
Lhasa.

This is the place where Gushi Khan, the founder of the Kashote Khanate, was stationed, and it is also where many core senior officials of the Gelug Sect of Buddhism are located.

In the high palace, Gushi Khan drank horse milk tea with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Want a drink?"

In front of Gushri Khan, a monk sat quietly, wearing an old cassock, slowly turning a rosary in his hand.

"King Khan, the poor monk heard that the envoy from the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains has arrived."

Gushi Khan said with a smile: "It's unexpected that such a mundane matter can be heard by eminent monks."

The monk sighed and said: "Although we respect the Buddha, we must also keep in mind the respect for the secular kings."

Gushi Khan let out a groan, and said, "Then, I wonder if the eminent monk can respect me, the Dharma king?"

The monk said slowly: "Naturally, he respects it. King Khan is the king of Qinghai and Tibet. All monks will keep this matter in mind, naturally including poor monks."

Gushi Khan restrained his smile and said slowly: "Since that's the case, why did the eminent monk interfere with the worldly affairs that should be under the management of this king?"

The monk hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The poor monk heard that at the beginning of the year, King Khan sent envoys to Liaodong to pay homage to the little emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

Gushi Khan nodded and said: "The Qing Dynasty has been able to fight against the Ming Dynasty for decades, and even conquered half of the Tatar Mongolia. Is it normal for something to happen?"

The monk said softly: "However, we have already recognized Daming's suzerainty over Qinghai and Uzang 200 years ago."

Gushi Khan disagreed: "This time, that time. When the Ming Dynasty was strong, it was normal for the founders to betray them to save face. Now it is obviously the rise of the Qing Dynasty and the decline of the Ming Dynasty. If we do not make good friends with the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, we will avoid getting into trouble in the future."

The monk suddenly said, "King Khan doesn't want to go south with the Qing Dynasty and carve up Daming, does he?"

Gushi Khan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "If there is that chance, it is not impossible."

The monk sighed: "The poor monk has a few words of advice that he wants to share with King Khan."

Gushi Khan said, "But it doesn't matter."

The monk said: "After all, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and rich resources. In addition to its 200-year heritage, it cannot be shaken by a mere Qing Dynasty. What's more, now that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been destroyed one after another, the momentum of the Ming Dynasty's revival is already very obvious. King Khan is now on the contrary. Choosing to make friends with the Qing Dynasty may not be a good strategy."

Gushi Khan snorted, and his face became a little impatient: "Why, the monk is blaming this king for his decision?"

The monk shook his head and said, "No, it's just some advice from monks."

Gushi Khan lowered his face and said coldly: "Then I will also give some advice to the eminent monks. The monks should clean up the precepts. The affairs of the lay people are decided by me, and the eminent monks don't need to worry about it."

The monk was silent for a while, then stood up: "Since King Khan has his own opinion, the poor monk will retire."

Looking at the back of the monk leaving, Gushi Khan let out a sneer.

"A group of monks didn't want to be your reincarnated living Buddha, but they got involved in this king's affairs. What a joke!"

A moment later, a Mongolian general strode into the palace.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Ming Kingdom have arrived. When will Your Majesty plan to receive them?"

Gushi Khan originally planned to receive these envoys from the Ming Dynasty, just today.

Many people know about this matter, otherwise the [-]th Panchen Lama would not have come to persuade Gushri Khan on behalf of the top Gelug Sect.

In fact, the relationship between the Gelug faction and Daming is very good. The reason why Daming's army was not invited into Tibet to fight against Vatu Khan and others was mainly because Daming was too busy to take care of himself at that time.

It can be seen from the words just now that the Gelug faction hopes to make friends with Daming and maintain a tacit understanding between the two parties over the past 200 years.

Thinking of this, Gushi Khan was suddenly upset and patted the table hard.

"What do you see? I don't have time to see these Han people. Tell them to go back!"

After half an hour.

A middle-aged man dressed in the official attire of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty suddenly stood up and said angrily, "What does Guihan mean? We clearly agreed to meet today, but why did we suddenly cancel it!"

The Mongolian general crossed his arms and said coldly: "What orders did our Mongol Khan give? Do we still have to explain it to you Han people? Get out of here if I tell you to. Otherwise, if you offend my Khan, your life will be at risk!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites laughed angrily, and said, "Mongol Tartars, you are just losers who were expelled from the Central Plains by my majestic Huaxia. What face do you have to shout at my envoy from the Heavenly Dynasty?"

Seeing the extreme stalemate between the two sides, conflicts may break out at any time, and the guards on both sides also subconsciously held the weapons at their waists, feeling like they would start fighting at any time.

At this moment, a young Han man suddenly appeared and directly grabbed the official from the Ministry of Rites.

"Sir, why is this necessary? Why not..."

The Han man said this in the ears of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The anger on the face of the official from the Ministry of Rites gradually subsided. He glanced at the Mongolian general and said with a sneer, "Okay, let's go. I hope that you and the Tartars will not regret today's decision!"

After speaking, the officials of the Ministry of Rites left directly with hundreds of entourages.

The Mongolian general sneered as he watched the last Han disappear into his back.

"If it weren't for us sweating, we still don't want to tear ourselves apart with you Ming Kingdom, and we will make your head into a wine glass today!"

The Ming Mission left Lhasa just like that, heading east.

The Mongolian scouts in charge of surveillance followed for two full days, and after confirming that the mission did not have any intention to stay, they relaxed their vigilance and went back to Lhasa to report.

But on the fifth day after the Daming Mission left, things changed.

On this day, a dozen monks stood quietly on the roadside, waiting for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty envoy.

The official of the Ministry of Rites who was angry and confronted the Mongolian general became very serious at this moment. He came to the side of the monks and bowed his hands: "I have seen all the eminent monks."

One of the leading monks smiled and said: "King Khan is rude and has troubled the envoy. Although the poor monks and others are not talented, they are willing to welcome His Majesty's envoy on behalf of Uzzandusi."

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites heard the words, their eyes lit up immediately.

Uzangdu Division, this is a government agency established by the Ming Dynasty.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly laughed and said, "Thank you Panchen Lama for your kindness. If possible, why don't you discuss it in detail?"

This detailed discussion went straight into the night.

Waking up early the next morning, Daming's mission was still heading east, and it seemed that they had never seen any monks.

The official from the Ministry of Rites looked at a Han man beside him in a good mood, and patted him on the shoulder heavily.

"Li Dingguo, you have done a great job this time!"
