Chapter 324 Lama
After leaving Kangxi's headquarters and riding for more than ten days, Cao Yong had not arrived at the Zasaktu Khan Banner of Khalkha Mongol. The distance was even further than he thought. Although he didn't know where he was, he was designated in the country that was not in later generations.
If it weren't for the Mongolian waiter Buhe who led the way with Zhebuzundanba Living Buddha, Cao Yong could not have imagined how he could travel thousands of miles on the boundless grassland without getting lost.
Looking back at Detehei and others, Cao Yong felt a little guilty. The first-class guards Detehei, Nalanfusen, the second-class guards Aji and Heshan. In addition to their respective servants, plus Buhe, Cao Yong's team had nearly twenty people.
Because I wanted to save people, I was more anxious to travel. Everyone rode on a double ride. It took less than two thousand miles to gallop in ten days, and there were always one thousand five hundred miles.
On that day, when everyone saw the town in front of them, they were relieved. Although these guards were working in front of the Holy Lord, they were all from everyone. They had been sleeping in the open for ten days, and they were not afraid of anything else, and they would suffer great consequences if they didn't take a bath.
According to Buhe, this town is called Xiari Buledu, and it is the residence of Zasakdo Robele, Alxa Hsushute Banner. The Bele Mansion is built in the center of the town, with a mansion with green walls and green tiles.
However, Cao Yong and others did not have the interest to visit this Mongolian Beile, so they found the largest inn and cleaned up their bodies.
After packing up, everyone came downstairs and went to the hall to use wine and food. Dethei, Aji, and Heshan were fine, but Nalanfusson looked a little haggard and his walking posture was a bit weird.
Cao Yong was a little embarrassed. Although Kangxi asked him to pick a few people, he only had these contacts in the guard office. Although there was Li Ding, Cao Yong did not choose him in order to prevent problems from happening, but chose these people who were always close and well-rounded.
He asked the waiter to come over and report the food, but it was pork and mutton. Everyone eats jerky meat these days and eats barbecue so much that it tastes so good. Dethei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Why are all these meat, cabbage and radish? I also give it two plates to clear my stomach!"
The waiter thought Dethei was joking, and he also had a shy face to introduce the roast lamb legs, roast lamb waist and other specialties here.
Heshan took a piece of silver and went over, saying, "Master, we are eating vegetarian food today, let's talk about meat dishes tomorrow. Why don't you come here for tea first!"
The waiter then went there happily. The shopkeeper had more knowledge. Seeing a few people entering the store, they took a shower and changed their clothes first, each with their servants. They were all wearing long robes, and when they came in, they were all dusty. It was probably a long journey. So the shopkeeper asked someone to make a pot of good tea and came here to pour it for everyone.
"Men, I'm just entering Mongolia. I can't get used to the milk-eating and carnivorous food here?" said the shopkeeper with a smile.
When Cao Yong heard his accent with Shandong flavor, he was a little curious and asked, "Is the shopkeeper from Shandong?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The youngest one is from Rizhao County, Yizhou. Have you been to our southern Shandong?" Because he mentioned his hometown, his local accent became stronger.
"Furuo, isn't Yizhou the one you stayed in a few years ago?" Detehei drank half a cup of tea in one breath and said to Cao Yong.
Cao Yong nodded to Detehei, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Rizhao, is that shopkeeper named Wang?"
The shopkeeper nodded quickly and said to Cao Yong: "It seems that this man has really been to us. In Rizhao City, our Wang family is a big family, and several of them are there." He sighed: "Because our family is a concubine, he went to Mongolia to make a living in his early years, so he settled here."
When he heard that he was from Guanli, everyone saw that the shopkeeper was more friendly and asked a few gossips in a mess.
The waiter had already brought the food, but it was really light, including spinach soup, stir-fried cabbage, roasted tofu, and a cold radish skin and pickled melon. The main food was pancakes.
Cao Yong and a few of them ate with relish. Xiaoman, Wei Hei, Bu He and others also sat in the seat next to them, and they ate these things. Although except for pancakes, they were all vegetarian and light, they were delicious in the world compared to hard jerky meat and half-baked rabbit meat.
As he was eating, he saw a little boy coming in at the door, eight or nine years old, wearing a Mongolian robe. The shopkeeper saw him and was very close to him and smiled and said, "Awandorji is here to ask for food again?"
Although the boy was not dressed in gorgeous clothes, he looked neat and had no place to look like a beggar. Therefore, after hearing what the shopkeeper said, Cao Yong and others were very curious.
The little boy did not refute the shopkeeper's words, but folded his hands together and nodded slightly to the shopkeeper's.
The shopkeeper did not have a disgust expression. Husband used a small cloth bag to put a few bowls of rice and handed it to Awandorji himself.
The little boy took it, performed another ceremonial ceremony, and turned around and left.
The shopkeeper was not reluctant to let go, but instead seemed to be incredible. Everyone looked at Shiqi, and Dethei couldn't help but wave to him and said, "Hey, I said, Storekeeper Wang, what is this kid? It doesn't look like a beggar!"
Manager Wang smiled and went forward and replied, "These masters have seen the world, so they are true. Awandorji is a little prince of Alxa. He has been weak since childhood and has calculated that he was the reincarnation of a boy in front of the Buddha and could not be raised in the secular world. Therefore, he was raised in the royal palace's family temple. Every five or ten, Dorji personally came to the market to beg for rice and food, and used it to support the widows who lived in the temple. Although we gave up some rice, we also accumulated good deeds, so we hoped that this little Buddha would come to the door!"
"Prince Alxa? Is it Zasakdo Robel?" Cao Yong asked.
Manager Wang patted his head and said, "That's right, according to the Mongolians here, it's the prince, and according to the title of our Qing Dynasty, it's Dorobel. Today, Belor was named six years ago, and it's Prince Abao, the father of Awandorji."
This time, the "prince" and "bele" were confused when everyone was stunned, Cao Yong pondered for a moment and asked, "Since he gave up his son to practice in the temple, is this bele a religious person?"
Manager Wang said, "Isn't it? I heard that the prince is very kind to monks. Any lama who passes by will invite him to the palace to be regarded as a guest of honor."
Cao Yong secretly remembered it in his heart. In the instructions Kangxi gave him, in addition to going to the Zasaktu Khan tribe to rescue the lama named "Dangsang Wangbo", he also found a place for him to settle.
Although I don’t know who this “Dangsang Wangbo” is, I know that he is definitely not an ordinary person when he looks at Kangxi and the great lama.
Before entering the town, Cao Yong asked Buhe and knew that the Zasaktu Khan tribe had a five or six-day trip. If the lama could be placed in this temple, Cao Yong's second job would be settled.
After a day off, Cao Yong and others set off in a hurry the next day.
After five days of trekking, everyone finally arrived at the Khanate of Zasaktu on July 15th. Perhaps because of the distance from the mainland, it is not much more prosperous than in summer. It is just that the town is a little larger.
As one of the three Mongol Khans of Khalkha, this Dazhasaktu Khan was named Duluo Prince in the Qing court. The current prince Cewangzhabu was the sixth generation Dazhasaktu Khan. Because he led his tribe to the Qing court during the rebellion of Galdan, he was named Duluo Prince. At the same time, in order to show his importance to his tribe, Kangxi retained the title of Khan.
Cao Yong and his friends found an inn and found someone to inquire about the Khan's Mansion. However, it was not easy to find someone who was as wise as Manager Wang. Whenever they mentioned the Khan's Mansion, those people changed their faces and dared not respond again.
Everyone returned to the room with regret. Detehei couldn't help it and said to Cao Yong: "It's just a county prince's mansion. Our brothers are carrying the emperor's order and handing over the guard sign. Do he dare to hold people down?"
Cao Yong could only smile bitterly. Everyone had seen it around the Khan's Mansion just now. Not to mention the height of the mansion wall, it was not easy to get in, let alone the gate of the palace was full of Mongolian warriors with big arms and round waists. There were less than twenty people on their side, and even if they were all out, they might not be able to kill people inside and save people.
If he could be under the banner of Kangxi, it would be a great charity, but the emperor would not agree. As one of the Khans of Outer Mongolia, although Cewang Zhabu was granted the title of prince, it was different from the royal prince. Even in front of Kangxi, he had a place.
If this Lama Dangsang Wangbo caused a small disaster, Kangxi would probably have directly ordered the royal palace to release him, which would cause him to cause a bigger disaster.
Dangsang Wangbo led people to preach in the Lama Temple near the Khan Palace, but ended up with the little princess of the Khan Palace. The little princess was the wife of Pengsukelabutan, the only son of Khan King Cewangzab. Pengsukelabutan is the eldest son of the prince who was canonized by the court. He died of illness last year, leaving behind this beautiful wife.
Unexpectedly, a year after Ponsuke Labutan passed away, the little princess actually became pregnant. Although she tried to cover up her face, she was discovered because of her big belly and was about to make trouble.
Such a great humiliation made King Khan die in anger. Of course, he had to investigate who had cuckolded the dead son.
There is only one answer, which is the handsome Lama Dangsang Wangbo, who loves to sing songs to the big girl and the little wife in the Lama Temple.
When the chains of the Khan's mansion were tied to the lama's neck, the lama did not resist; when the hall of the Khan's mansion faced the interrogation of everyone, he nodded in agreement.
The Khan originally wanted to blame him, but the little princess begged, saying that she wanted to let Dangsang Wangbo take a look at the child before dealing with it.
Although the little princess violated the precept of lust, because she had been in the Khan's mansion for many years, the Khan had always treated her as a daughter, so she agreed to her request and did not immediately execute Dangsang Wangbo.
When Cao Yong told Detelhei and others carefully about the reason for the detention of Dangsang Wangbo, everyone was stunned. Aji and Heshan's faces showed contempt. Detelhei and Nalanfusson fell into deep thought.
Heshan lowered his head, looked at the dusty boots, and muttered, "What's the matter? We're running for half a month and traveling thousands of miles just to save such a bad guy! Not to mention monks or people, this little widow also violated the Qing law!"
Aji also said, "Even if it's right, Master Long Sui is really there. Why do you think about it and ask us to save this thing? I have to give up the blame and directly issue an imperial edict, asking the Khan King to release him. This makes people feel sad when mentioning the Hua Lama!"
Dethei scratched his head and said, "What kind of etiquette does this old Mongolia pay attention to? If this happened in Guanli, let's not talk about the adulterer. The tycoon designated to be a sinking pond. Why did he still give birth to a child? Could it be that he gave birth to a child and wanted to be regarded as a fucking grandson? This lama has become half a child, half a son-in-law!"
Although Dethei spoke roughly, he heard Cao Yong's heart move. When he first heard the big lama telling this, he also realized something was wrong, but he didn't know where it was. After Dethei said this, he realized that the Khan was too tolerant to the daughter-in-law who had lost his celebrity.
Although the Mongolians did not pay attention to etiquette as the Han people, the sinicization among Mongolian princes and nobles was still very obvious. Since the other party was a noble little princess, how could he be a person when he went to the temple to worship Buddha? Maids and mothers are indispensable.
If the little princess is really pregnant, she doesn't need to confess herself. As long as she tortures these maids and mothers, what else can I know? How can the little princess identify herself?
Nalanfusen thought of this, looked at Cao Yong and said, "Maybe this lama was wronged. The Khan could keep him and not kill him, maybe he also knew the reason."
He Shan widened his eyes and asked, "Why did Brother Nalan say that? If this lama is careful, why would the princess not bite others and bite him alone? Besides, didn't he nodding to agree?"
Cao Yong thought about it for a while and said, "Maybe the other party is really a noble master. In order to understand the crisis of saving the little princess, he deliberately agreed to this matter."
Now, there is only one explanation. Cao Yong recalled the situation when Kangxi and Zhebuzundanba Living Buddha mentioned Dangsang Wangbo. Both of them were a little solemn. Although they were quite dissatisfied with Dangsang Wangbo's unruly behavior, Kangxi did not have any contempt. Zhebuzundanba Living Buddha had a little more respect.
The living Buddha Zhebuzundanba is very famous in the Yellow Sect. How could the person who can make this great lama respected is the "adulterator" who raped a good wife?
Dethei frowned and said, "No matter whether this lama is a good person or a bad guy, we have saved it by the Lord's life, then we should save it. We have to think of a way. The wall of the royal palace is high enough, and we don't know how the guards and guards are inside. If we want to rescue the person smoothly, we must plan carefully."
This is a serious job, and everyone has also studied several plans. No matter which one, it is not possible to have no internal support. At least you have to figure out the terrain of the palace and know where the lama is locked up before you can take action. Otherwise, if everyone breaks in without a head, wouldn’t it be a warning to the snake?
Everyone was discussing, but Xiaoman said at the outsider: "Master, there is a servant asking for a meeting!"
Everyone stopped the sound, very surprised. Cao Yong said, "Take him in!"
He said he was a servant, but he looked more like a little novice monk, wearing a half-old monk's robe. He was thirteen or fourteen years old and looked very clever. However, because there were five people sitting in the room, he was a little confused. He was stunned for a moment before speaking, "The villain Bayin... I have seen... dear masters!"
Perhaps it was because I saw that everyone was not dressed in Mongolian costumes, so Bayin spoke in a stiff Chinese language.
"Are you looking for us?" Cao Yong asked in Mongolian.
Seeing that they could speak Mongolian, Bayin breathed a sigh of relief and changed to Mongolian and replied, "Masters are coming from afar, are you here for Master Dangsang Wangbo?"
Everyone is a member of the imperial court, and every year he is outside the escorts and speaks Mongolian language. Hearing Bayin say this, Det black and yells, "Are you following us just now?"
Because when everyone was talking just now, Xiaoman and the others were guarding the door, so they were not afraid of eavesdropping. The only thing that could make people notice that they were related to Dangsang Wangbo was that they were exploring outside before returning to the room.
After hearing Dethei's words, Bayin waved his hand and said, "No, it was the shopkeeper's instructor who sent the news to the villain, and the villain knew that you were here."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Bayin said again: "Although Master Dangsang Wangbo likes to drink and sing love songs, he is kind to others. Many of us here have received his favor and know that he is wronged..." In the end, his voice was low and unheard.
Cao Yong heard Bayin's words and seemed to be informed, and asked, "Since everyone knows that he is wronged, why no one dares to speak?"
