Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 287 Escape from the tiger’s den and report to the governor

Tashilhunpo Temple has become a sea of ​​joy, with an endless stream of devotees. The sacred monk Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen stood at the main entrance and looked out. Suddenly, his expression became extremely kind, and the two knights came side by side. The knights on the horses were dressed in civil and military attire. It was none other than Rinbungpa Ngawang Jikezhak, the envoy of Uszang, and Sakyamuni Gyatso, who joined the army.

"Old monk has seen punishment and joining the army." The seventy-nine-year-old Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen gave a slight wink to Khenpo (abbot) Dorje Lepa behind him, and his old face smiled like a flower.

Seeing that the venerable and venerable monk actually greeted him personally and greeted him cordially. The two of them did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted. With a plop, they knelt on their knees and gave a great salute. Especially Ngawang Ji Kezhak, who comes from the prominent Renbungpa family. The great monk has been their blessing for a long time. They are the great monk's donors. The great monk is used to kneeling and kowtows his head on the ground. There is a sound. "When I see the sacred monk, how dare I bother you to personally greet him?" the two said respectfully.

Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen smiled and asked, "Why didn't Futai and Uncle Fang come with you two?"

"Futai is very busy with official duties. It will probably be a while. Uncle Fang is waiting behind me and will be here soon," Ngawang Jikzak said respectfully. Somehow, although the old monk kept smiling, the pressure on him was as heavy as the Altai Mountains. He had experienced this feeling when he met Emperor Qianyuan.

Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen nodded, called the Gegui (a monk in charge of discipline) Nampo Regye who was the guest's guest, and said: "You greet the two distinguished guests well, I will stay here to welcome the guests." When he said the words "greet him well", he emphasized his tone.

"Accept the decree", Nanbo Rejie loudly accepted the order and took the two people and their entourage to the side hall to serve tea. To prevent them from getting lonely, hundreds of disciples with big muscles and round waists were arranged outside the hall.

The official envoy Pilenley Zamusu arrived. He was very young, in his early thirties, and was born in a minor noble family. He was able to sit in this position because he defected to Emperor Qianyuan earlier. As a confidant of the emperor, he converted to Nyingma, so naturally he did not buy into Gelug's account. In addition, he knew that the emperor always wanted to limit the power of various factions and enhance the imperial power, so he did not regard the sacred monks as sacred monks.

Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen personally greeted him, but he just bowed his hands on the horse and did not even kneel down. Dorje Leba and other monk officials were furious, but the old monk looked calm, greeted him enthusiastically, and ordered someone to lead him to the side hall.

Because the commander-in-chief Batu Mengke had made it clear that he would not be able to come because he was busy with official duties, so only Dash, the governor of Uzang, was left. Among the five members, this person has the highest official position and power. If he is caught, Uzang will be leaderless and it will be easy to start a rebellion! The great monk said nothing, staring into the distance with a smile, waiting for his prey, no, the donor.

"Huh? There seems to be something wrong today." Pilenley Zamusu entered the side hall and muttered to Ngawang Jikezhak and Sakyamuni Gyatso.

"Uncle Fang, is there anything wrong?" they asked hurriedly.

"Just now the sacred monks greeted me, but I didn't kneel down when I saw them. No one even spoke out to accuse me. This is a suspicious person. Why are there so many warrior monks at the entrance of the temple, all holding weapons? Do they want to put us under house arrest? This suspicious person two".

As a great nobleman, Ngawang Ji Kezak had dealt with great monks, so he naturally understood it better. After hearing this, he thought about it carefully, and his expression changed drastically, "You are right, this person is indeed abnormal today. I have always been the one waiting for you. When we enter the temple to see the divine monk, why should the divine monk take the initiative to greet us? Something is wrong, something is wrong."

"In this case, let's go out and take a look at the end of the battle." Sakyamuni Gyatso was about to draw his sword.

Pilenle Zamusu shook his head, "You probably won't be able to get out if you break in. If you join the army and have strong martial arts skills, you can pretend to clean your hands (go to the toilet) and see what happens. If you find anything wrong, don't worry about us, just go and report it to the entertainment platform."

"General, I understand." Sakyamuni Gyatso nodded and walked towards the palace gate.

Several powerful monks blocked the way, "Where are you going?"

"Hey, I ate something bad last night and my stomach is bloated. Please give me a compliment." Sakyamuni Gyatso didn't care.

Several monks looked at each other, and the leader smiled, "I will guide you," and then took him to the side hall where the grains are reincarnated.

"Thank you", Sakyamuni Gyatso thanked him and followed the monk to the Wugu Pavilion in the side room. Something is definitely wrong! Outside the temple, monks armed with sticks, swords and spears can be seen everywhere. It's not fighting, so what are these monks doing?
"Comfortable!" Sakyamuni Gyatso shouted in the toilet. Seeing no one around him, a swallow flew up, jumped up to the beam, slipped out along the pillar, and escaped over the wall.

On the official road leading to Tashilhunpo Monastery, a group of people came slowly. The leader is riding a tall horse, the horse is strong and the man is tall, and the second-grade golden pheasant on the official robe is extraordinary. It is Dash, the governor of Uzang.

"Stay in Futai, you can't go!" With a loud roar, Sakyamuni Gyatso staggered to his horse.

"Sakya Gyatso joined the army, why are you so embarrassed?" Dash asked in surprise.

"Monk Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen held a Hongmen Banquet, and there were flashes of swords and swords in Tashilhunpo Monastery. Fangbo Pilengli Zamusu and Ngawang Jikezhak were already under house arrest by the monks in the temple."

"what!"

Dash was shocked and turned his horse's head, "Go back to the Yamen quickly to mobilize troops." The officials of the Mongolian and Tibetan tribes, even the civil servants, all rode horses, so their escape speed was very fast, and they disappeared in the wind in an instant.

At the entrance of Tashilhunpo Monastery, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen and Dorje Lepa were welcoming guests with smiles. Nampo Regye ran over in a panic and reported, "Holy monk, Khenpo, it's not good, Sakyamuni Gyatso has escaped. ".

"Trash, I can't even look at an individual," Dorje Leba was furious.

"Why are you panicking?" Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen looked calm, and everyone immediately regained their composure.

"Immediately raise troops to attack the governor's office and garrison barracks and take over the city defense," the old monk issued an edict.

"Accepting the decree", Dorje Lepa, Nampo Rejie, and other monks and officials led by Weng Ze (in charge of religious rituals), Guo Gui (in charge of property), all accepted the order in unison.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~" the conch shell of Tashilhunpo Monastery blew, and countless monks and soldiers poured out of the streets and alleys of Shigatse. There were more than ten thousand old and young, divided into several groups, and the two largest groups rushed towards the governor's office and the military camp.

Dashe and Sakyamuni Gyatso fled back to the governor's office. As soon as they took out their command arrows and prepared to mobilize their troops, they heard loud shouts of killing.

"Kill the dog officer!"

"Don't run away Dash"

The sound was deafening. In a hurry, the two of them fled to the garrison camp with only a few dozen followers. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the camp, they cried out in pain, but saw flames shooting into the sky. It turned out that there was a prayer meeting at Tashilhunpo Monastery today, and many soldiers left the camp to watch the fun. The deputy general guarding the camp was not prepared and was attacked by the rebels.

"Futai, now we can only go to Gyantse to find the main town of Batumengke," Sakyamuni Gyatso suggested.

"Oh! I have failed the emperor's favor!" Dash closed his eyes in pain and opened them quickly. "Go to the city gate quickly," he shouted angrily, hitting his horse and galloping away.
