Chapter 5: The Road to Visiting Parents (III)

Thinking of this, Taisong couldn't help but cheer up. Before she got married, she was in charge of a princess of ten thousand households, a descendant of Genghis Khan's golden family. This time she returned to the grassland was probably the last time she had returned to the grassland in her life. It contained too much heaviness and many unexpected situations, which forced Taisong to take up a twelve-point spirit to deal with the many tests that were about to come.

The news that Taisong accidentally leaked this time was soon circulated among the border troops, and the spread speed was simply described as a thousand miles a day. Wang Xianggan originally only revealed the news slightly to a few confidant generals and told them not to spread it outside. This was a secret of the court. Although it was his own guess and it was confirmed to a certain extent, he also knew the serious consequences of the leak. How could he know that the people below were silent? Who had few friends and relatives? So the news flew out like wings. If it weren't for the similar preparations for the reform of the court, the leak of this news might have caused an uproar across the country. However, the leak of the news was not entirely a disadvantage. At least it made the generals who knew the news mentally prepared.

No wonder Taisong is this matter, because she didn't say anything at all. Everything was guessed by Wang Xianggan's observation intention, and no wonder Wang Xianggan. After all, such a big thing as military reform is related to his personal future and destiny. He was not at fault for caring so much. If everyone was wrong, it was that he dared not tell his guess to his several of his confidants, but what he said was his own guess. The news was spread by his subordinates. Although the source was him, it was not him who spread it, and he did not intend to spread the news. Of course, if he did this on purpose, then his heart would be punished.

However, from this matter, Zhu Yinglong clearly realized a problem, that is, the reform of the central court's department system was disconnected and lagged with the implementation of local reforms. He has always focused on the reform of the central court, trying to make a thorough transformation from top to bottom. However, he ignored the local acceptance and tolerance and lacked a certain understanding and investigation, especially regional and regional differences. Local officials may blindly cater to the central court and force the reform, which will make the reform. The reform has brought very serious consequences, especially the entanglements and contradictions in interests, which will become very sharp, and will even bring excuses to local officials to make money and exploit the people. For this reason, Zhu Yinglong timely adjusted the speed of the reform of the central court and increased the supervision and investigation of local reforms. In addition to "spreading the resident into the acres", the two major policies of "gentle-in-one food and reforming the land and returning to the current" were postponed, but the official rectification movement had no impact, which was an important prerequisite for cooperating with the reform of local governments.

At this point, Zhu Yinglong deeply realized that the hardships of governing the country are not something that ordinary people can do. Even a person from the future is inevitably biased and may even feel powerless.

Taisong did not expect that his unintentional failure would have such a great impact on the Ming Dynasty, and even allowed the Ming Dynasty to make trouble from the overall situation, avoiding the mistake of the "Great Leap Forward".

On the grounds that he had been very tired from traveling for several days, Taisong refused the reception dinner prepared by the General of Datong and the Prefect of Datong and the Prefecture of Datong, and took a night off. The next day, Taisong and his party set out on the journey to visit relatives in Huixiang under the visit of the officials.

When you enter the grassland, it doesn’t matter if you enter the official road. Since it is still early spring, the weather is still very cold, especially the grassland is covered with a thick layer of snow. You can only follow the trails that your predecessors have walked to avoid losing your way on the vast snow-covered grassland.

The wheels have been replaced with sleds, so that they can adapt to the rapid and steady movement of the snow-covered grassland.

Meidaizhao, this is the place where Taisong and his party must pass into Mongolia. The couch is not a simple Tibetan Buddhist temple, but a city temple complex with a temple and a castle combined into one. The entire building complex is built against the back of the big green mountains. The overall plan is an irregular square with a circumference of 681 meters. Large pieces of river pebbles are built into a city wall about 5 meters high. The south is the city gate, named Taihe Gate, which is a three-story hip mountain top.

The city tower has a piers extending about 11 meters outward at the four corners of the city wall. The corner tower is built on it, commonly known as a pavilion. A stone plaque inlaid on the gate is engraved with sixteen words: "The imperial map is consolidated, the emperor's road is Xianning, the people are happy, and the world is clear." This stone plaque comes from Altan Zile, the lord of the Tumote tribe of Mongolia, built Meidaizhao in the third year of Wanli (1575). The Ming court gave the temple to Shouling Temple and the city is Fuhua City.

Taisong and his party passed by this Fuhua City. The place where they settled that night was naturally Shouling Temple, the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongolian princess. The lamas in the temple naturally brought people outside the mountain gate to greet them.

Although Lin Danhan herself abandoned the belief in the Yellow Sect and should join the Red Sect, Taisong herself lacked a favorable impression of the Red Sect and was still good at the Yellow Sect. There was no lama temple in the capital. Apart from setting up a palace in her Changchun Palace as a place for practice, she could hardly find people with common beliefs, except for the maid she brought into the palace.

Taisong is a devout Buddhist. Zhu Yinglong did not interfere with the beliefs of his concubines too much, but generally speaking, he still has no good feelings for the lama.

The great lama led the Taisong through the Taihe Gate into the castle. The Buddha Hall is opposite the entrance. The layout of the Buddha Hall is Tibetan, but from the outside, the roofs are all hip-tops, which are unique to the Han architecture. The Heavenly King Hall, the Sutra Hall and the Main Hall are connected together, with doors separated in the middle. The front porch and the side walls of the Sutra Hall are Tibetan. There are colorful murals on the inner walls of the Main Hall. In addition to the Buddha, Bodhisattva, Heavenly King and other statues worshipped by the Lamaism, there are also many stories of Buddha’s life. The lower floor of the western wall is a portrait painting, with portraits of men and women sitting in the middle, namely Altan Khan and his wife, the San Niangzi.

The third lady is a legendary woman. She is an idol worshipped by almost all the girls on the grassland, and Taisong is no exception.

Walk through the Main Hall and come to the north of the Glazed Hall. The Glazed Hall is a palace-style three-story building that stands on a square platform with a corridor on all sides and a green glazed tiles covering the roof. It is majestic and breathtaking.

The south of the Main Hall is the Wanfo Temple. A Tibetan-style building next to the Wanfo Temple is Naiqiong Temple. It is a two-story Tibetan-style building with a golden Falun on the roof and a lying deer on each side, shining brightly under the sunlight. This is where the Living Buddha of Maidali lives. After the Dalai Lama toured the Monk place, the Midali Hutuktuno and the Khans received the decree of the Dalai Lama and stationed in Mongolia. Therefore, the Hutuk in the Monk place

Picture, the wise men discussed: in charge of the religion of Mongolia, as the master of the three masters of Badma, the incarnation of Dacijin Bazamusu, Gentun-Balzang-Zammusu, Xili-Badar, born in Renchen, at the age of twelve, went to Mongolia as the leader. The year after Jiachen, arrived at the age of thirteen, and then sat on the holy knowledge of Wazierdala-Dalai Lama-Sodanumzamusu in the bed of the Mongolian bishop. All the world is called Dacimadali-Hutuk Tuyan.

However, his descendants were not successful and destroyed the Tumote tribe in just over twenty years, and even took away the foundation of their ancestors.

Bai Yan was the leader of the Xihalashen tribe, but now he has stole the royal city of the Tumot tribe and has also widely incorporated the remnants of the original Tumot tribe, as if he was the chief of Tumot. Although Bai Yantaiji and Chaharmonic Lindankhan were in a hostile relationship, this time Kang Fei passed by Guihua City when he returned to Chahanhot, he still made some careful preparations.

Due to Taisong's sensitivity to his identity, Bai Yan naturally could not go to greet him in person, but he had to send someone to greet him, because Bai Yan still needed to rely on the Ming Dynasty. Although he repeatedly requested the Ming Dynasty to enthrone him as King Shunyi, he did not receive a formal response from the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty also acknowledged that he had taken charge of the seal of the power of trading.

This time Taisong visited his parents and of course he would not miss the opportunity to test the Ming court. He also wanted to know what the Ming court was about him, or how much energy Taisong had in front of Emperor Ming.
