Sang Jie Gyatso looked at the master deeply, and some ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Have you made a choice? Luo Sang, stands on the side of the Han people, on the opposite side of our faith."

"No, I do this for our faith. Sang Jie, don't deceive yourself anymore. What you do is not for faith, but for power. What you want to do is not the guardians of the Huang Cult believers, but their king. You have been in Diba for many years. Are monks and believers living better because of you? Is the Huang Cult promoted because of you? No, in fact, the Han emperors did much better than you, at least outside Tibet, both monks and believers are much better than us." The great master looked calm and said firmly, but he did not rebuke at all.

Sang Jie Gyatso: "You have never left Tibet, how do you know?"

"Yes, I have never left Tibet, maybe I should go in and out," said the great master silently.

Sang Jie Gyatso knew that according to the tradition of Tibet, the people in the next life would be the disciples of the great master in front of him. Before the superior became an adult, most of the religious power in Tibet should be controlled by the great master. Sang Jie Gyatso believed that the great master was not firm enough in his beliefs, so he did what he did now. He usurped power and the secular military and political power of King Heshuot Khan, while religion and belief were usurped by the great master in front of him. However, the great master had never shown any resistance to external forces. Submissiveness and self-protection were his behavior, and he had always been against the superior.

"Luo Sang, do you know the price of giving up?" Sang Jie Gyatso asked in the eyes of the master.

The master smiled slightly: "I know that Han soldiers would enter Lhasa, Shigatse and the cities they thought needed to be controlled. They would establish so-called appeasement zones here to manage Tibetan people, regardless of monks and lay people. Monks like me would receive preferential treatment and enjoy honors? But you? Diba in Tibet would be replaced by another person loyal to the empire.

But?                                                              �

Sang Jie Gyatso heard the great master say so sincerely? Although some were consistent with his views, others were unwilling to listen? But he didn't want the great master to continue talking? After the great master turned around, he decided to continue the great master's career of fighting for power and profit with the empire in just a moment. But he found that when this powerful secular regime began to take serious attention, the power he had was so small.

The Ali area has no longer obeyed management? The nobles of Heshuote kept a distance from Lhasa. The temples and monks in Tibet have gained property in rich places outside the snowy areas. Even the great masters with firm beliefs were lured. Except for the group of people who surround themselves, who prospered and lost, they all became rich and lost. Almost everything changed.

"Don't talk about Luo Sang again. Since you know that the consequences are so serious? Why do you still support the Han people?" Sang Jie Gyatso interrupted Luo Sang and asked loudly.

The great scholar asked back: "Sang Jie? The ending of giving up resistance is tragic. Does it mean that one will have a bright future if one insists on one's own actions?"

Sang Jie could not answer this question? Or the answer to this question could not be expressed? When he decided to continue fighting against the Han people, he thought that he could unite all the forces in Tibet, the Khan of Khshuote and even other sects of Tibetan Buddhism, and then contact the subcontinent forces in Shannan, the emperor of the Mughal Empire and even the brother of the imperial emperor. This was what the master had always done, but for more than two years, everything had turned into a phantom.

All parties in Tibet are disinterested with him, and the subcontinent forces also expressed their powerlessness. Their opponents are too powerful, so powerful that they have made many people unable to feel powerless. This opponent is too enlightened and willing to cooperate with any force. The subcontinent forces are more willing to make good friends with him than to be enemies.

In the end, Sang Jie Gyatso chose to leave, and the great scholar told him that if the emperor of the empire still stayed in Guanzhong next spring, he would go to see him, but Sang Jie Gyatso did not respond. There was no need to say hello to him about this matter. No matter how powerful Diba has, it would not be necessary to control the great scholar. After all, the master is the master of the great scholar, not his Sang Jie Gyatso.

When Sang Jie Gyatso left, a man with a beard and dressed in a gorgeous monk's robe walked out from behind the Buddha statue. He respectfully saluted to the master and said, "Sang Jie Gyatso is really too stubborn and too brave. He dares to hide the fact that he is a master. It seems that over the years, my avoidance has made him self-righteous."

This middle-aged man was Khshuot Khan, King Pongchuk. When he was speaking, the great scholar poured him a cup of tea. Pongchuk was very honored. This direct descendant of Gushikhan had a pious attitude towards the Huang Cult and was not attached to power.

"It's not his fault, it's the inheritance of the master. The most wrong thing the master did in his life was not to go to the empire and carefully understand the strength of this new empire. He thought that it was an ordinary Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years, but in fact, he was completely wrong." said the great master.

Pengchuk did not nod or refute. For him, the master is the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and there is no doubt about him. Only the same person as the master dares to say a few words in front of him. Pengchuk asked: "Sangjie Gyatso is a pearl left by the master in the world. He is regarded as an eye by the master, but now he does not listen to your advice. I really don't know what evil path he will go. Dear master, is there anyone else who can persuade him to return to the right path?"

Seeing the master shaking his head slightly, Pengchuk asked: "I am planning to move from Qinghai to Dangxiong next year, and move some of the troops on the left and right wings of Qinghai to come over. Do you think this will make him restrain himself?"

Dangxiong is located in the north of Lhasa, and the Eight Banners of the Khan of the Khan, who are themselves the tribes under the jurisdiction of King Heshuote Khan. However, after the Khan of Ponchuk succeeded to the throne, he was too pious to the Huang Cult and his masters. The empire established the Xining Appeasement Zone in Qinghai, and many Khanchuk and Tibetans went to join him, so Ponchuk moved to Qinghai and proposed to return, obviously to shock Sangjie Gyatso.

The master shook his head: "I think Sang Jie Gyatso has no way out, and he doesn't want to retreat."

In the eyes of great scholars, the nobles in Tibet, temples and even the Khan of Khōt are acceptable to the empire, but the diba, Sangjie Gyatso, is not included. Unless the empire is willing to grant him the lord of the Tibetans, this is completely impossible.

"But I can't let the pearls left by Master fall......" Pengchuk said in embarrassment.

The master sighed and said, "Even if you drive your troops into Lhasa City, you won't let him shake it in the slightest. Sweat. If you insist on giving him a chance to repent, you just need to do a small thing."

"What?"

"Find an opportunity to tell him that you are in Tashilunpo Monastery, and you are planning to listen to my lectures all winter." The great scholar said. When Pengchuk heard this, he thought carefully and understood.

The position of Diba is theoretically just the general manager of the Shangren, who manages the temple industry under the Shangren. Of course, after the two masters invited Gushikhan to Tibet and established the Hoshuot Khanate, Gushikhan distributed a large amount of population and land to the Shangren and the great scholars. For example, the great scholars in the previous life were assigned to ten Xika in the Shigatse region. The Shangren also seized a large amount of land and people from the Hoshuot Khanate in the past few decades. The population and land managed by Diba have surpassed the Khan King Pengchuk of the Khanate.

According to the law, Diba was appointed by the Khan, and at least it was recognized by the Khan. Ponchuk actually did not like Sangjie Gyatso, so when the Master appointed Sangjie Gyatso as Diba for the first time, Ponchuk did not express his opinion, so the Master had to appoint others. In the end, Sangjie Gyatso became Diba, and the Master reconciled it and got Ponchuk's default.

But now, the master has turned around. Even though Sang Jie Gyatso has chosen the spirit child, he is still a little baby. The religious power in Tibet is in the hands of the great scholars, while Ponchuk is a great knight. As long as the two of them have determined, they can change one of the Dibas, seize Sang Jie Gyatso's power, and complete a bloodless change. This is also the reason why the great scholar asked Ponchuk to tell Sang Jie Gyatso about their whereabouts.

After Pengchuk left, the master did not get up, but patted his palms gently, and another young man walked out of the side hall. It was Dan Tai Yunfeng. Dan Tai Yunfeng did not sit opposite him according to the instructions of the master, but chose to stand aside. He whispered: "Master, the emperor means that you are asking you to persuade the Khan of Pengchuk to go to Guanzhong to pay homage, and to appoint his son Ozil as Diba at the right time. But you did not do this, but instead informed Sangjie Gyatso of this method, which is very unfriendly."

"You don't know Ponchuk. He is a pious person. He hates Sangjie Gyatso, but it is not because Sangjie Gyatso seizes his authority, but Sangjie Gyatso himself. When the Master was still alive, many people rumored that Sangjie Gyatso was the child of the Master, but these people dare not say in front of Ponchuk because that would cause death.

But now that the master is dead, Ponchuk will not hate Sangjie Gyatso. Instead, he will protect him as much as possible in front of the master who has passed away." The master looked at Dan Tai Yunfeng's eyes and said, "If I directly persuade Ponchuk to change to a Diba, he would not agree, because he knew that neither he nor I could protect Sangjie Gyatso in the hands of the empire. He would find a way out for Sangjie Gyatso and withdraw decently.

Young people, you should be familiar with politics from the Emperor, but there is Buddhism in Tibetan politics, and faith is mixed in it, which is not exactly the same as what you know.”

Dan Tai Yunfeng did not know much about Tibet, so he expressed his opinion: "But I don't think Sang Jie Gyatso would honestly follow the path arranged by Ponchuk Khan."

The master nodded: "So what? Sangjie Gyatso chose to give in, which is naturally a blessing for Tibet, but if he continues the evil path, he will react because of today's changes. We have confirmed that the master has passed away. As long as there is a need, I, the Khan of Ponchuk and I, can make this news public. Without this protection, all his authority comes from the position of Diba, which he will never lose.

I think he would become king. At that time, wasn’t everything natural? His Majesty the Great Emperor asked for change to respond and supported Ozil to be a Diba. This is the purpose. I just changed to a smoother way."

"Okay, Master, you convinced me that I will tell the emperor all this." Dan Tai Yunfeng responded seriously. But he knew in his heart that Sang Jie Gyatso's method was not just the one who made himself king, but the most extreme one. However, the great scholars valued it and put it forward, which means that the great scholars also had reservations and had plans.

When Sang Jie Gyatso left the Tashilunpo Monastery, his face turned pale. He came to seek support, but he was rejected. He didn't know what the ending would be if the great master went to see the emperor of the empire. He knew that he had to make a choice as soon as possible. When he was sitting in the carriage and thinking with the bumps, there was a quarrel outside. Sang Jie Gyatso asked, "What happened?"

"It's the road ahead that was blocked, Lord Diba." Someone responded.

"Bastard, who dares to block my road? Didn't you tell them the identity of this carriage?" Sang Jie Gyatso said angrily.

But when he lifted the curtain, he saw a more bastard scene. His subordinates were being beaten by a group of people, and the carriage loaded with camels were blocking the road. Such a convoy would definitely not have any noble people, but it must belong to some noble people.

"So what about Lord Diba? This is the goods of the big sweat. You dogs..." A short and strong man whipped loudly, but the words he said were even more harsh. When this guy was speaking, he looked at Sang Jie Gyatso's carriage from time to time. Obviously, he had seen Sang Jie Gyatso, but he continued to beat him. This was to be beaten for himself.

Sang Jie Gyatso narrowed his eyes and saw clearly the face of the man who was beating, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and he said, "Get the road for the sweaty truck."

"Mr. Diba, you are..."

"Give up the way to the Khan." Sang Jie Gyatso said again, his tone this time was unquestionable.

Soon, the road was taken away, and the team of trucks passed by, and the subordinate whispered: "I heard those dog slaves just now talking. It seemed that the Khan was in Shigatse now, and he had been here for a while."

Sang Jie Gyatso nodded slightly, waved his hand to walk away, and called on the man who had hit the man just now: "Dashbatur, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your body stronger again? Is it because you have been so happy?"
