However, who knows that the situation she faces still hides unknown risks?
Songzan Gambu was only twenty-five years old at that time, but he already had three Tibetan wives, namely Mangfeizeng, Xiangxiong Princess Leto Man and Muya Ruyang Princess Jiamatsuo. These three wives believe in the local Boni religion.
Before Princess Wencheng, Songtsan Gambu married a Nepalese wife Zun Princess through tough measures.
Princess Wencheng was the last one to be married by Songzan Gambu, ranking last. Although Songzan Gambu marveled at her beauty and talent, he attached great importance to her strong family background. But he didn't have much time to accompany Princess Wencheng, and Tubo, who was on the rise and faced with a complicated situation, had too many things to deal with.
Moreover, the Princess Zun, who also believes in Buddhism, held an exclusive attitude towards the arrival of Princess Wencheng, and once tried every means to prevent Princess Wencheng from meeting Songzan Gambu. Princess Zun is jealous, and it is difficult to set up obstacles so that the princess and Zap can't meet each other. It is recorded in the history books.
In fact, it is not necessarily out of love that Songzan Gambu married Princess Gongzun. The main purpose is to consolidate state relations, and more importantly, I hope to get two statues of Sakyamuni at the age of eight and twelve. He has found that Bonism at this time can no longer play a big role in his goal of unifying the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. He wants to respect Buddhism alone and use its influence to realize his ideal.
Princess Wencheng can't often see Songzan Gambu, but when she sees two queens, she has another person in her heart and is anxious. This is Gadongzan who went to Datang to marry Princess Wencheng.
Gadongzan's position in Tubo is second only to Songzan Gambu, and actually holds the power of the army. He actively supported the unification of Songzan Gambu, and to achieve this goal, we must have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. What's more, he also accepted the position of General Youwei granted by the Tang Dynasty. However, it is not easy for him to interrupt the palace.
At this time, the aforementioned construction of Jokhang Temple by Princess Yongzun happened.
The country where Princess Gong Zun was born is the birthplace of Sakyamuni. Whether Songzan Gambo marries her or she comes to Tubo, she has an important mission, which is to spread Buddhism. The most important means to spread Buddhism is to build a Buddhist temple, so Princess Cheng Zun chose to start building a Buddhist temple in the northeast of the swamp. When she presided over the construction, she collapsed while building, so she was helpless and didn't know what to do. It is said that Princess Cheng told Princess Cheng that she was proficient in astrology and geomantic calculations in the Central Plains. If she wants to build a Buddhist temple, she will be interested in geography and Feng Shui.
In order to promote Buddhism, Princess Zun had to ask Princess Wencheng to help calculate the geographical feng shui of the temple and give a liter of gold sand as a gift. Princess Wencheng doesn't care about past grievances at this time. She speculated and observed the surrounding geography according to 80 kinds of five-element observation methods in the Central Plains, and put forward feasible methods.
However, during the construction process, some people were not convinced and did not completely follow the process suggested by Princess Wencheng in advance, so that the foundation of the newly built Buddhist temple was destroyed by ghosts and gods. So, these unconvinced people carefully read all kinds of calculations made by Princess Wencheng and built this temple according to Princess Wencheng's suggestion.
This is the process of building the famous Jokhang Temple, so the world later said that this temple was built by Princess Wencheng. According to the situation at that time, Princess Wencheng, who was under 20 years old, did not really believe in Buddhism, and her knowledge of Yin and Yang was not necessarily proficient. It was her followers who helped her.
There may really be ghosts here. who is it? I guess it's Gadongzan, the great wizard of Bonism. Fortunately, he supported Princess Wencheng. )
After this incident, Princess Wencheng and Princess Zun eased their relationship and formed a political alliance. Later, they cooperated to build Jokhang Temple.
In 648 (twenty-two years of Zhenguan), the Tang Dynasty sent Wang Xuance to Tianzhu Kingdom (now Bihar, southern India), where the dead king Rodeo died. Arona, king of Dinafuti (now Bihar, northern India), sent troops to refuse Tang's entry. Subsequently, all the members of the mission were arrested, and Wang Xuance took the opportunity to escape and rushed to Tibet for help. Songzan Gambu immediately joined Nipolo (that is, Nepal) and Xiqiang Zhangqiu, sent troops to Tianzhu, captured Arona Shun, and sent envoys to Tang to present a flower cart.
Of course, this incident made the faces of the two princesses shine.
Then, one more thing, the two princesses cooperated closely to rewrite the history of * * * *.
* * * The original religion was Bonism, but it has been passed down for twenty-six generations in Songtsan Gambu.
In fact, the early belief was shaman-style primitive belief, that is, animism, which was no different from witchcraft in Han Dynasty. This belief is now called black religion. Wizards have the highest status in primitive society, so they are no exception in * * *. They have high influence in Tibet and can control the fate of clan owners. If boys and girls in the clan get married, they must get their consent before they can get married. Before marriage, a girl's first night belongs to a wizard. Before Tantric Buddhism was introduced into Tibet, the influence of Bonism had spread, expanded and penetrated into the aristocratic class. They basically established Zampa in past dynasties, including Songzan Gambu's grandfather and father. As a result, they became the biggest obstacle to Zapp's rights protection.
When Princess Wencheng and Princess Zun came to Tibet, the influence of Bernism was still very strong. After they established two Buddhist temples, because there were few monks and few believers, the bones actually occupied the two temples, playing tricks and practicing witchcraft. The two princesses had no choice but to sue Songzan Gambu. Songzan Gambu is young, but he handles it well. Instead of ordering Catholics to leave the temple, he asked representatives of two religions and factions to openly debate and preside over it themselves.
Buddhism has a history of more than 500 years, paying special attention to the discussion of righteousness, tracing back to the source and explaining clearly. Bonism is lacking in this respect. Some spells are nothing more than magic, arguing about the nature of things, how can they have the depth of Buddhism, what's more, the supreme referee is a person who psychologically agrees with Buddhism, and Boni teaching was finally declared a failure by Songzan Gampo!
Bones were asked to either convert to Buddhism, be demoted to civilians or be exiled. Since then, Buddhism began to take root in * * * and flourished rapidly.
The significance of this debate goes far beyond the victory of Buddhism over Bonism. In fact, Buddhism did not disappear, but absorbed and transformed the teachings of Buddhism and enriched itself. Buddhism also absorbed some religious rituals of Bonism, making itself more suitable for the culture of * * * region. But at this point, they failed and the struggle between the two factions went underground.
For Princess Wencheng, this argument really made her believe in Buddhism and became a Buddhist believer wholeheartedly. The relationship with Princess Zhang Zun has also become closer.
It should be said that Princess Wencheng is the happiest at this time.
However, the good times did not last long. 10 year, only 10 year, Songzan Gambu suddenly died, and the form of Tubo suddenly became complicated, which led to the complicated relationship between Tang and Fan. After that, the war between Tang and Fan continued, and Princess Wencheng, as a messenger of peace, fell into endless pain.
