Chapter 73 second quarter

The day of holding the study tour vow debate ceremony came as scheduled.After the Dalai Lama, who presided over the ceremony, sat down on the back, east and west sides of the Jokhang Temple Debate Hall, the regent King Dimu Living Buddha presented a pair of special colorful boots.The Dalai Lama hurriedly sat up, stepped forward to take the colorful boots with his own hands, looked at them fondly, touched them, and handed them to the attendants beside him. Then with a smile on his face, he let the Prince Regent sit beside him. The regent said: "I took it to the Jokhang Temple the day before, and offered it to the 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni. Wangqiu Living Buddha recited the consecration scriptures for a day and a night. When the venerable put it on, he wore it like Sakyamuni. It's the same on it."

The Dalai Lama said: "The Buddha Regent has taken so much trouble, he gives boots every year, and this time he gave a pair of such good ones." The regent said: "These are elephant trunk color boots with three layers of yellow tuanlong satin, and the boots are also thick. His honorable feet should wear the best boots in Tibet." After saying some greetings to each other, the regent brought the topic to the frontline warfare.He said that Ergalon, the chief of the front line, had already gone to the front line, Tuomei Living Buddha, the chief of the monks and soldiers, and Jiangju Kalun, who was in charge of military supplies such as grain, grass, tents, etc., were also running around in a hurry.All Tibet is committed to resisting the British, and the British will soon be defeated.I hope that the Dalai Lama will concentrate on reciting sutras without distractions.If the cleanliness of the Potala Palace and the cultivation of the Dalai Lama are affected because of poor handling of Tibet's internal and external affairs, he, the regent acting for the Dalai Lama, deserves death.

The Dalai Lama said: "In the days of many disasters, Tibet depends on the support of the Buddha Regent. I know it. I also know that the British are tyrannical and domineering, which violates the laws of heaven." He said in a mature tone, "It's difficult, Things in Tibet have always been difficult, Buddha Regent, please." The regent said: "Since I became a regent, I have been awake when I sleep, I have not eaten on time, and I have been in a hurry even when I walk. Now it is even more difficult to encounter the British invasion. However, Tibet relies on The most important thing is the blessing of the Dalai Lama, as long as the Dalai Lama is safe, I believe that no matter how dark the sky is, the sun will rise.”

The Dalai Lama, who was accustomed to wearing a high hat, didn't care about the regent's flattery, and suddenly asked, "What is the court's attitude?" The regent coughed a few times and said, "The knife has gouged out his flesh, can he not hurt?" The Dalai Lama pondered and said, "Is pain different from pain? Gouging out the heart is like gouging out the heart, and gouging out the foot is like gouging out the foot. I heard that the imperial court still does not advocate that Tibetan monks and laymen should resist foreign demons?" The regent knew that Dundup Kalon must have chewed his tongue, and said bluntly: "Tibet mountains are high and the emperor is far away. No matter what the court's attitude is, we are the ones who resist the foreign demons. I am not worried about the court, but ourselves. Our own. The militia has not yet been organized, and Dhondup Kalon, who is in charge of the militia, is still in Lhasa. The reason why the British are still unable to drive away is because he does not work hard.”

The Dalai Lama nodded, and said something ambiguous: "I understand. It's about the future of Tibet and the great plans of Buddhism. Don't be emotional." The regent was taken aback, wondering what kind of feelings he was referring to, the inextricable relationship between Di Mu's lineage and the imperial court, or his anger towards Dundup Kalon? The Dalai Lama said: "I heard that Dundup Kalon has left Lhasa and went to the front line in the starry night. If the British cannot be driven away because he is missing, will there be good news when he goes out this time? "

The regent Di Mu looked to both sides, but he did not see Dhondup Kalon.According to the original habit, as long as the Dalai Lama lectures, he will come to listen attentively no matter whether he needs it or not.Di Muxin said that Dhondup Kalon finally left because he knew that Luobu Tsering had gone to Gongbo to recruit militiamen, or was there another reason?Don't worry about these things, just leave.However, Di Mu was still very angry: as the regent, he didn't know where Dundup Kalon had gone, but the Dalai Lama already knew. It was obvious that his relationship with the Dalai Lama was much closer than he imagined.Di Mu suddenly regretted that he wanted to belittle Dhondup Kalon in front of the Dalai Lama, but inadvertently exaggerated his role.If there is a good turn for the future in the war, will the credit be credited to Dun Zhu?But what if it's a bad turn?Di Mu realized that the Dalai Lama was actually deeply blaming him for his ineffectiveness in resisting the British.As expected of the Dalai Lama, he is still a young man, and the city is already too deep to penetrate.It seems that Dhondup Kalon's gracious running to the Potala Palace was not just to get close to the Dalai Lama.What about after getting close?Sow discord?But only relying on Dhondup Kalon can drive a wedge between the Dalai Lama and the regent?Di Mu faintly felt that there must be something else that he didn't know had happened or was happening. Among these unpredictable things, there were hidden reasons that could make the Dalai Lama deeply afraid.Slander, in the darkness of Tibet, slander is stirring like a black storm.

The Buddhist scripture debate ceremony is about to begin.Regent Di Mu got up to leave, wishing he could snatch the most high-grade three-layer yellow Tuanlong satin elephant trunk color boots in Tibet and throw them on the ground, trampling them to pieces. However, not everything is going well.Nianzhu Living Buddha's deep evil curse and Dunga Living Buddha's colorful boots charm have already worked. The frontline chief Ergalon finally wrote a letter, saying that the various generations of our regiments are about to set up a net in the western Chunbi Valley. When the demons are wiped out, they have to lose their legs and arms.

The regent thought: It would be nice if the head and waist were cut off.He called a lama who was familiar with Chunpi, and asked about the location of the West Valley. He couldn't help but sigh: Our front line was at Rina Mountain at first, and then we arrived at Longtu Mountain. Now the front line has become Chunpi.I hope that after this battle, the front line will return to the past. Good news soon came: cousin Luobu Tsering went to Gongbu to recruit militiamen very smoothly, and he could go to the front line immediately, but he didn't know where the front line was, so he had sent people to the south to inquire.

The regent hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to his cousin: the front line is in the west valley of Chunbi.
