    The banquet was soon over, and the old king invited several important ministers to accompany him, and also asked the singers to perform songs.  These ten singers are all top-notch in their singing voices and dancing postures. The most rare thing is the charming charm of their dancing and dancing, which is simply fascinating.  The old king and several ministers were fascinated by the sight and praised him repeatedly.  At the end of the banquet, the old king asked his attendants to bring several large boxes and opened them. Inside were some of Domi¡¯s local specialties.  The old king said: "The King of Dharma has given you such a generous gift, but I can't repay it. These are the abundant products of our country, Domi. I guess you don't have Xiangya, so give them to the King of Dharma." Zuo Shaoyang glanced at the handicrafts with rough workmanship.  The dirty fabrics and all kinds of greedy things make me dumbfounded.  Dalong Xin said that the old king of Domi Kingdom was very stingy, but now he realized that it was true. He was worth two thousand taels of silver and ten stunning beauties, but he got such a bunch of simple things in exchange?  Fortunately, Zuo Shaoyang's move was because the drunkard did not care about drinking.  I will meet with Prince Domi tonight to find out whether my big gamble will pay off and how much I can get in return.  After the banquet, the old king personally accompanied Zuo Shaoyang and Dalongxin to the prince's palace amidst the autumn rain and thunder.  Prince Naglisi received fifty lashes, and his back was covered in bloodstains the whole time.  Lying on the bed.  The imperial doctor had already applied medicine to him.  Seeing his father coming in accompanied by the previous Dharma King, he already knew that it was the Dharma King who begged for mercy and saved his life. He wanted to struggle to get up to pay respects, but when he saw his father with a cold face, he lay still again and even  Turn your head to the side.  The old king snorted heavily and said: "This is the Dharma King Gangrenbuche of Xianggui Kingdom. You don't know the general situation and the importance of national affairs, and you almost ruined the national affairs. My father asked the Dharma King to persuade you and give you some advice.  "The prince seemed to be asleep" and there was no reaction. Seeing the old king's anger rising, Zuo Shao waved his hand: "King, please calm down. I'll talk to him later."  After listening to Dalonggu's translation, the old king flicked his robe, turned around and left. Zuo Shaoyang ordered all the attendants in the room to retreat outside and asked Dalongxin to close the door. Then Dalongxin translated.  Said: "Your Highness, you," the prince waved his hand, turned around and said to Dalongxin in Tibetan: "Please help me up." Dalongxin hurriedly helped him sit up.  The prince struggled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much for your life-saving grace." Dalonggu translated for Zuo Shaoyang, and Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are so polite." The prince said coldly: "Thank you for your life-saving grace. If  The Karmapa wants to act as my father¡¯s lobbyist to persuade me to change my mind, but it¡¯s better to keep my mouth open so as not to hurt the peace!  " Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "The prince misunderstood, I am not a lobbyist, but I am here to help His Highness the prince.  To be honest, if His Highness had not opposed the alliance with Tubo, I would not have saved you. But then again, if you had not opposed the alliance with Tubo, you would not have been pushed out and beheaded by your father.  Hehe." When he heard Zuo Shaoyang's words, the prince was surprised and happy: "It turns out that the Dharma King also has a bad impression of Tubo?" "It's not that I have a bad impression of Tubo. Tubo is a respectable opponent, but he is too ambitious.  Da, I believe he will annex all the foreign countries and tribes in the Western Region one by one, including our Xiangya. He wants to destroy my Xiangya." Can I still have a good impression of him?  " "That's right!  "The prince slapped his thigh and touched the wound on his back. He grinned in pain, but ignored it and said urgently: "Then, Dharma King, have you persuaded my father?  Let him not form an alliance with Tubo!  ", Zuo Shaoyang smiled faintly: "If you Duomi don't ally with Tubo, what will you do if Tubo attacks you? Are you confident that you can handle it?" "We want to fight with tribes like Bogan, Bowo, Bailan, and even Misang.  Only by forming an alliance to fight against Tibet can we protect ourselves.  " Zuo Shaoyang nodded frequently: "What the prince said is very good." It is also very far-sighted. Tubo is now using the strategy of distant relations and close attacks. This method was used by the Qin State during the Warring States Period to unify China and establish the first imperial power.  Tubo's move is not new, but it is very seductive. The prince must have been able to accurately see Tubo's true intentions. The prince said in frustration: "  What do you admire? I can't convince my father. He would rather kill me than offend the Tibetan envoys. This alliance is finalized! The day when my country will be destroyed is not far away.  It's not too late!" The prince looked at him in confusion: "What does the Dharma King mean"?  Zuo Shaoyang whispered: "How about I help you force the king to abdicate and let you inherit the throne?"  " The prince listened to Dalong Xin's translation. At that moment, a thunder exploded in the air. The prince's heart was even more like the thunder, which awakened all the sorrow in his head. He couldn't help being surprised. People of that era were  Firmly believe that Dharma King possesses DharmaIf you are strong enough, whatever the Dharma King says you can do, you will definitely do it.  What's more, the Dharma king of Xiangya Lai, the birthplace of Bon religion, is even more capable. If he is willing to use his magic power to help him ascend to the throne, he can save the country of Domi.  Thinking of this, the prince hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Thank you so much, His Majesty! As long as His Majesty helps me ascend to the throne, I will definitely reward him generously!" "There is no need to reward him. As long as His Highness can fulfill his promise after he ascends the throne, form an alliance with Misang, and follow Bowo  , Bo Gan and other eastern countries will form an alliance and live and die together, even if the prince thanks me." The prince said: "How can this be done? Forming an alliance with them is what I want to do, how can I use it to reward the Dharma King?  ." "Okay, let's not talk about this yet. Let's talk about it after it is done." "Okay! As long as you help me inherit the throne, you can do whatever you want." "Hehe, I want the prince.  Tell your father that you have changed your mind and agreed to form an alliance with Tubo. Leave the rest to me." The prince handed over his hand and said, "Okay! Everything will be done according to the king's instructions."  The prince immediately called for someone to come in and inform the king that he had something to say.  The old king came quickly.  The prince had already been supported by his servants, knelt on the bed and kowtowed, and said sadly: "Father, after the Dharma King's enlightenment, the child realized that he was wrong. Please forgive me, father." The old king was surprised and happy, and looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha,  Good boy, just admit your mistake. Forming an alliance with Tubo will be of great benefit to us! Just understand this, get up! "Where is the imperial doctor?"  Call the royal doctor to treat the prince's injuries!  The prince kowtowed and said, "My child, thank you for your father's grace!"  " "Well, you can recover from your injuries.  ", "Yes, Father, Haier's injury is not serious. As a prince, I want to participate in the alliance ceremony tomorrow. Please allow me, Father.  " "This Mou" The old king was a little hesitant. Although his son had admitted his mistake and Jiedu was very sincere, he was the crown prince and the future heir to the throne, so he should attend such a ceremony. However, he was a little worried about whether he was serious.  Repent, don¡¯t cause any trouble at that time. The prince had obviously guessed the old king¡¯s worries, and said hurriedly: ¡°The child sat down far away to watch the ceremony, without saying a word or doing anything, please ask your father.  Believe me kid.  " The old king turned to look at Zuo Shaoyang hesitantly: "What does the Dharma King think?  Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said: "The prince has realized his mistake. It would be best to attend the ceremony, so that Tubo can rest assured."  " When the old king heard this, he nodded frequently: "Well, what the Dharma King said is absolutely true.  Okay, Wang'er, you can attend the alliance ceremony tomorrow.  However, you can only sit on the viewing platform and cannot enter the sacrificial altar!  " I thought that as long as he did not enter the sacrificial altar or come into contact with the Tibetan envoys, there would be no need to worry about any trouble. The prince hurriedly bowed and agreed. The old king smiled happily and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "The power of the Dharma King is really unpredictable." That's why he is so good at it.  After a while, I Wang'er changed his mind and realized his mistake. "I have never seen this kind of profound magic power."  "    "where.  Your Majesty, thank you very much.  "Zuo Shaoyang said a few words of humility. "Since the prince has changed his mind, there is no need for Zuo Shaoyang, the Dharma King, to live in the prince's palace. The old king arranged for Zuo Shaoyang and Dalongxin to live in the royal garden of his palace.  However, Zuo Shaoyang insisted on returning to the inn to stay, saying that he still had some relatives and friends to take care of, and the old king did not force him to send him out of the palace in person.  On the way, Zuo Shaoyang asked: "I wonder where your country and the Tibetan envoys will meet for an alliance?" The old king said: "It's at the altar behind the palace." Zuo Shaoyang looked up and looked at the floating and occasionally loud thunder.  "The night sky is stormy today," he said, "it may not be clear tomorrow."  Why doesn't the king postpone the meeting with the alliance for a while?  "The old king shook his head and said: "This day was calculated by our national master, which means that the tomorrow is just right. After this time, we will have to wait for more than a month.  The Tibetan envoys were anxious to return to Tibet, so they could not wait any longer.  It doesn't matter, why not just go down, and the Zhonghui Alliance will show more sincerity!  " "That's true.  Zuo Shaoyang nodded: "I will come to the altar on time tomorrow morning."  "    "OK.  Warmly awaiting His Majesty¡¯s arrival.  "Zuo Shaoyang left the palace with Dalongxin and returned to the inn. He immediately went back to the room and closed the door and said he was going to rest. Naturally, he would not rest. After closing the door, Zuo Shaoyang changed into night clothes and quietly went to the room.  On a rainy night, I ran towards the altar next to the palace. Although the altar was guarded by soldiers, because the altar was surrounded by walls, it was raining heavily, and it was dark, there were ghosts and shadows everywhere.  They all hid in the squad room to take shelter from the rain. Zuo Shaoyang looked around the entire altar calmly and came up with a bold idea.; He returned to the inn, immediately called a few blacksmiths over, and gave the following instructions.  The blacksmiths all brought their own tools and immediately started working.  Soon, everything Zuo Shaoyang needed was ready.  Zuo Shaoyang returned to the altar late again with this thing.  In the dark night, the empty altar was empty. Zuo Shaoyang quickly arranged the things and then left quietly.  The next day, the rain stopped and fell, but the sky was still black.  It looked like a storm was coming.  The altar was already full of people, and the viewing platform was covered with a pergola. Those sitting on the pergola were relatives of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. In order to promote the alliance between Domi and Tubo, the old king even allowed some people to enter the altar.  Stand at the base of the wall and watch from a distance.  Of course, all the people who came in were inspected and searched.  Stay safe.  Zuo Shaoyang is the distinguished Dharma King, and his position is arranged in the front row of the pergola.  Sitting with a row of princes and the most important ministers of the court.  Sitting next to him was the eldest prince Nang Lisi.  Nang Lisi was a little nervous, but he didn't look at Zuo Shaoyang, which made Zuo Shaoyang secretly praise that the prince was quite capable.  The altar is round, with a tall flagpole standing in the middle, and it is covered with prayer flags of various colors.  There is an offering table under the flagpole with several large basins placed on it.  There are also sacrifices such as fruits and melons.  At the lower part of the flagpole, a cow and a sheep are tied.  There was also a woman, all tied up, curled up and sitting under the flagpole, staring at the ground with dull eyes.  The old king and the Tubo envoys sat on either side of the altar, like a pair of boxers waiting to fight.  A wizened old man looked up at the sky, walked to the center of the altar, and spoke a lot in Tibetan. Dalongxin next to him helped translate, saying that he announced the beginning of the sacrifice, and then recited the incantation.  Strange to say, among the ups and downs of the incantation, it turned out to be very quiet.  There was a murmur of discussion in the cold shed, and expressions of wonder appeared on their faces.  A smile also broke out on the old king's face. He and the Tubo envoys stood up, walked to the middle of the stage, greeted each other, and walked to the altar according to the order of the imperial master. At this time, several burly men came up from the stage.  With his arms raised, he first brought the cow over and tied all four hooves with ropes. The cow lay on its side on the ground, raising its head and mooing.  The Tubo envoy and the old king recited the oath of alliance in unison, and Dalongbi translated it to Zuo Shaoyang, which means that the two countries have formed a brotherly alliance. If there is any violation of the alliance, they will be together!  After saying that, the two men raised their knives and cut off the cow's head.  The two of them held it together and placed it on the altar table.  The headless cow had blood flowing from its neck, and soon the entire altar was dyed red, making it look even more ferocious.  Zuo Shaoyang kept looking at the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the pressure was very low. However, they were still only small. Thunder could be heard faintly in the distance, but it did not come to the top of the head.  Zuo Shaoyang became a little restless. Is he going to assassinate Li Yuan again?  Zuo Shaoyang touched the golden needle spray tube in his sleeve.  Thinking about it in my head.  At this time, the Tubo envoy and the old king had already chopped off the head of the sheep. The ministers in the pavilion and the surrounding crowd began to shout, with excitement on their faces.  Zuo Shaoyang looked at the altar and immediately understood why these people were so excited. However, it turned out that the Tibetan envoy and the old king on the stage had dragged the human sacrifice to the altar. It was a young woman who was not yet young.  By the age of twenty, his face was so pale that there was no blood at all. He stared blankly at the big flag. His whole body was soaked by the rain, and his thin lips were moving constantly, maybe for himself.  pray.  !  ~!
