After leaving Kyoto, Yoshigan finally followed Mitsuhide Akechi's instructions and began to call himself the elder of the Genji family, raising the banner of Hachiman Taimu and calling him daddy.
It’s really hard for others to refute the title of the father of the world. With Hachiman Taimu's white flag in hand, Yoshigami dared to claim to be the elder of the Minamoto clan.
What's more, he was the husband of the former shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru. He became a monk to pray for his deceased wife, and his character was noble and innocent.
Even if Ashikaga Yoshiaki knew that he called himself the elder of the Genji family, he could only hold it in and not be able to refute it.
Master Changjue always felt that something was wrong, but she was unwilling to delve into it.
The Shingon sect is currently in an awkward situation. There has been a long-standing dispute over the ancient and modern sect within the sect. A new sect has emerged independently in Wakayama and no longer obeys the instructions of the old sect in Koyasan, the main headquarters.
After finally winning over the Hosō Sect and obtaining the orthodoxy of Kōfukuji Temple, he also encountered the nun Tsutsui Junkei, a samurai nun, who had evil intentions, which made Master Nagakaku, the head of Kōfukuji Temple, restless.
If it weren't for the great master Shiba Yoshigan who suppressed Tsutsui Shunkei, Kofukuji Temple would have ended badly.
Shiba Yiyin intends to become a monk. No matter what his purpose is, the Shingon sect will not delve into it. Being able to lead this patron saint back to the sect and deter the bad guys is more important than anything else.
Master Changjue put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and said.
"The Great Imperial Palace has a compassionate heart and is deeply inspired by Buddhist scriptures, which is admired by poor nuns.
Since you have made up your mind, I will take the liberty of performing the razor ceremony for you and complete the ceremony for you. "
Yiyin glanced at Master Changjue and asked.
"Must be shaved?"
Even though his head was shaved, Yiyin was still the beautiful young man he had been waiting for for a thousand years, but he still felt a little unhappy when he thought about having a bald head.
Changjue was stunned for a moment and said Shanshan.
"When you enter my Buddhist door, you will finally get rid of the root of troubles. This is the rule... Hmm... Or you can cut off your hair short to clarify your ambition, okay?"
Changjue thought that Yiyin was a young man after all, and it was his nature to love beauty, so he would probably not be happy with shaving his head. But mantra religious laws are strict, and not expressing it is not good after all.
That's why she proposed to cut her hair short.
The Chinese government regarded hair loss as unfilial on the grounds that the hair and skin of the body were affected by the parents. Buddhist tonsure means to cut off the worldly world and devote oneself to the Buddha.
The Buddhism of the island country follows the Celestial Dynasty and has the ritual of razor. The social atmosphere values courtesy and it is inconvenient to dispense with it.
Master Changjue was a little worried that Yiyin would not be happy, but Yiyin was overjoyed.
Can I get a haircut openly?
He has long been worried about the rules of husbandry in this world and cannot cut his hair.
When he was called to have sex by Oda Nobunaga, he took the opportunity to resolutely vow to revive the Shiba family, resolutely determined, and felt comfortable for a while.
In the past three years, his hair has grown longer and longer, which has long made him miserable. Unexpectedly, becoming a monk also comes with the benefit of getting a haircut, which is great!
Yiyin said.
"Then let's have short hair."
Both of them nodded with satisfaction, and Changjue asked.
"I dare to ask the Grand Imperial Office, does the family temple in Duowen Mountain City have a name?"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"No."
Master Changjue smiled.
"To become a monk in Dayutai, I still lack a name.
You walk the world, be compassionate to all living beings, and bless all peoples. Moisturizing, nourishing and replenishing. Those who have more will gain.
I think the word "Jindo" is very appropriate. It can be called "Jindo Hall". What do you think? "
The title of Yiyin was obtained by Master Changjue. Now it is not too abrupt to choose the name of Zhai. It is done in one step.
Yiyin nodded and murmured.
"Shiba Yoshiyoshi enters Dotsudo Hall Kenshin? Then so be it."
Zindo, that sounds great.
———
Duowen Shancheng prepared for several days under the guidance of Master Chang Jue, and then held the monkhood ceremony.
In front of the Buddha statue, Master Changjue was solemn and solemn. She lightly touched the razor on Yiyin's head, which had already been cut off, and completed the razor ceremony.
From then on, Yiyin officially became a monk and practiced Buddhism. He cut off the fate of the mortal world and was called Siba Yiyin and entered Daojinduo Hall as Kenxin. He did not allow the left and right to call it Dayutaisuo anymore, and changed it to Jinduo Hall, Qianxin Gong.
After completing the ceremony, Master Nagakaku was satisfied and said goodbye and returned to Kofukuji Temple.
At this time, Shiba's retainers arrived at Duowen Mountain City one after another to pay homage to their lord.
———
In the meeting hall, Shiba Yiyin smoothed his hair, which was short enough to reach his ears. He was as refreshing and comfortable as in his previous life.
The sunshine boy smiled at the two people in front of him and said.
"The subjugation campaign in Nanhanoi was successfully completed, thank you for your hard work."
Nizi Shengjiu and Yamazaka Yukimori fell to the ground and kowtowed together, not daring to say a word.
After Yamanaka Yukimori stood up, he looked at Yoshiyin's short hair and his eyes were slightly red. She also heard a little about what happened to her master in Kyoto.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki is unkind and ungrateful. Rumors spread in Kyoto. In order to prove his innocence, the Lord had no choice but to become a monk and practice Buddhism to show his chastity.
I recall the time when Mihaoshi went to Luo, his ancestors were murdered, and the shogunate was in chaos.
It was the lord who rushed back from Kanto to take charge of the overall situation, helping the shogunate to bring order to the chaos, allowing Ashikaga Yoshiaki to go to Luo and succeed as shogun.
But how did those shameless people in the shogunate treat their lord? How disgraceful.
Yamanaka Yukimori was indignant, and Nizi Shengji sighed secretly.
Shiba Yiyin's behavior is so noble that he is not like someone who can survive in the politics of the Wu family. Someone in his position would not survive long at all.
The Wu family is only interested in profit and treacherous. They are definitely not the righteous people they claim to be. The Nizi family has experienced sudden ups and downs, and has had enough of the Wu family's ruthless betrayal.
Nizi Katsuhisa also admired Shiba Yiyin. It was not easy for this young man to stick to his principles and principles despite being framed by the samurai family time and time again.
The most important thing is that Shiba Yiyin is too good at playing. Since his debut, he has been victorious and invincible in all battles from recent times to Kanto.
Therefore, even if you have a bottom line and principles in politics, you can easily be stolen from you. But others didn't dare to really make him anxious, and they only dared to use morality to push him.
All in all, he has the ability to be kind and can't afford to be tricked.
Yiyin didn't know that Liang Ji was sighing in his heart. He was concentrating on asking about Nan Hanoi.
Yamanaka Yukimori was a little absent-minded, and Nizi Shengjiu steeled himself to answer. The two kings and ministers played against each other, and time passed quickly.
After Yi Gin had finished asking, he looked at Yukimori Yamanaka who was a little silent and said with a smile.
"What happened today? You stayed silent. This is not like you, Yamanaka Hime."
Yamanaka Yukimori's nose felt sore and he whispered.
"I'm just a little unworthy of my lord."
Nizi Shengjiu secretly pulled Yamanaka Yukimori, what did this little fool say? Is she pitying her lord? This seems to be presumptuous.
Yiyin smiled slightly and said softly.
"Xingsheng, don't worry about me, some Xiaoxiao can't defeat me if they play tricks.
You did a good job this time, I'm very satisfied. The matter in Nanhanoi must be concluded as soon as possible and your Kanto Princess Warriors should be withdrawn as soon as possible. "
Yamanaka Yukimori frowned and asked.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Yiyin looked at the two concubines and sighed.
"Something happened. His Highness Uesugi was defeated in the Lower Sovereign. Although the army successfully withdrew, the situation is already a bit unstable.
I may need to make a trip to Kanto to stabilize the situation. "
Nizi Shengjiu couldn't help but interjected.
"My lord, the situation in Kyoto is unsettled. Are you going to Kanto at this time? Are you...are you...?"
She didn't know what to say, but Yiyin understood what she meant and said.
"The Kanto strategy has been advanced for two years, and the Shiba family has already established a foundation there. This is what the Shiba family's loyal warriors paid for with their blood. I can't ignore it.
They are waiting for me in Kanto, I must go. As for the recent days, I have already made arrangements.
Takada Yono prepared a sum of money as the first batch of annuities from the Shibachu Fund, which will be issued in the middle of the year, covering the entire Shiba area in recent years.
In addition, I will re-adjust the current wave collar and publicly reward and punish the gains and losses of the past two years. "
Nizi Shengjiu nodded. Before leaving, Shiba Yiyin chose to use both kindness and power, using the annuity to favor the middle and lower levels, and reward and punish the upper levels for their deeds in the past two years.
Yiyin continued.
"Ni Ziji, you have done a good job in the past two years, and I am very satisfied. When I leave this time, I will entrust you with greater power. I hope you will guard the nearby Sibo territory for me.
In particular, help me watch Mitsuhide Akechi. I'm a little worried about her. "
In fact, Nizi Katsuhisa is not willing to take care of too much, and there is no good problem among the senior members of the Shiba family. To put it nicely, it’s called a gathering of elites. To put it harshly, it just stings the head everywhere.
The more she controls, the more she offends people, and she may not be able to control them. Takada Yono was brought up step by step by her, and she sat in a high position in Shiba Town despite the yin and yang.
But the master praised himself so highly that Nizi Shengjiu couldn't say anything and could only remain silent.
Yiyin didn't know that Nizi Shengjiu was complaining in his heart, he said.
“When I go to Kanto this time, I shouldn’t be away for too long.
The shogunate here has been in chaos recently, and I'm worried. I will come back as soon as the situation in Kanto is stabilized. "
Hearing that Yiyin would not be gone for long, Nizi Shengjiu breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to the ground.
"I accept your orders."
Yoshigan looked at Yamanaka Yukimori and said.
"As the deacon of the Kanto Palace, the Kanto Princess Warriors under your command will withdraw from Nanhanoi as soon as possible and prepare to go back to Kanto with me."
"Hi!"
Yiyin said softly.
"When Maeda and the others arrive, I will hold a review and reorganize your authority.
Ni Ziji, you must be mentally prepared. "
Nizi Shengjiu nodded, knowing that he couldn't shirk it. The Lord repeatedly emphasized that he would most likely be responsible for the affairs of the Sporian Territory in recent times.
Yiyin indeed has this idea.
Maeda was obsessed with getting married. In the past two years, he formed cliques to expand his strength and build his own small mountain, which made Yoshihiro feel uncomfortable.
Akechi Mitsuhide has gone too far, and most of the troubles that have arisen in recent times have something to do with her.
Takada Yono is becoming more and more smart and capable, but his ambition is growing faster than his power. Although Yiyin cherished her and missed her Yukino, he really didn't dare to expand the scope of her power.
Ishida Mitsunari is in charge of the Shiba Tadashi Fund, a powerful tool. Originally, Yiyin should keep an eye on her, but due to the chaos in Kanto, they can no longer care about this matter for the time being.
After thinking about it, Yoshihiro really didn't know who should be responsible for the recent wave of affairs, except Katsuhisa Nizi, who knew current affairs and knew the right measures.
The previous separation of powers proved to be a failure, which he understood deeply. In this chaotic Middle Ages, to separate military, political and diplomatic affairs is to internally consume one's own strength and allow others to take advantage of the loopholes.
This time, he won't be gone for long. Therefore, let's simply hand over the leadership to Nizi Katsuhisa and coordinate the overall situation.
Although the party in Nizi Mountain was not the first Ji warrior to follow Yiyin, they were the less power-hungry party in Sibo's family.
Nizi Shengjiu only works within his own authority and is cautious. It may be related to the collapse of the Nizi family. This descendant of Nizi is very disgusted with internal fighting and has always disliked causing trouble.
Yamanaka Yukimori is infatuated, and although her abilities are a bit lacking, it is convenient for Yoshigami to control her power.
The deacon of the Kanto Palace is a high-ranking but not very powerful person. Most of the Kanto Princess Warriors under her command are from the old Yangbei clan in Haetsu. They were all subordinates who were persuaded by Yiyin and given to Yamanaka Yukimori.
To put it in a darker way, Yukimori Yamanaka is the hostage under Yoshiyin's control. Her power comes entirely from Yiyin, and she can also let Nizi Shengji take on more responsibilities and make Yiyin feel at ease.
Power is recognition from the bottom up and control from the top down. Yiyin is sometimes helpless. His power base is vague and his strength fluctuates.
The prestige of being invincible, the ambiguity of emotions and bodies, and the distribution of economic benefits are all the reasons why the Wu family is willing to obey his orders.
Do you think he is weak? He can mobilize millions of stones with a single shout from a high altitude, and Wan Ji will follow the direction of the military flag.
Do you think he is strong? The reasons why these warriors responded to the call were not pure, and intrigues were inevitable. Yiyin must balance all aspects of the relationship, which is tiring both mentally and physically.
This is the uncomfortable part of protecting daimyo under the shogunate's guardian system. Their power comes from tradition, and they have to act according to the rules and balance the rights and interests of all those who are corrupt.
As for the daimyo of the Warring States Period, most of them started out as subordinates. Even if their identities were cleared, they were outside the rules of the game of the shogunate's guardian system, which had both advantages and disadvantages.
Because they were afraid that latecomers would learn from their superiors, the Warring States daimyo felt a greater sense of crisis and were more willing to govern with an iron fist and make reforms that would enhance their own strength.
For example, Oda Nobunaga, who has traveled the furthest, can ignore the interests of local samurai families, break the rules of the game, destroy checkpoints, and open up commerce.
Take the piece of fat Shang Li from the mouth of the local martial arts family and put it into your own bowl.
What's more, she took advantage of the separation of farmers and soldiers to separate the Wu family from the land and focus on military operations.
A large number of younger and younger daughters of the samurai family who had no inheritance rights were incorporated into the army, strengthening the military strength of the Oda family.
The middle and high-level warrior families were concentrated together and disconnected from the local area, which made it difficult for them to unite and resist the tyranny of their master.
The Hime warriors who were stripped of their land attributes could have their territories transferred by Oda Nobunaga according to military needs. Ashigaru, whose salary and status were improved, solidified the foundation of the army.
Oda Nobunaga, who broke the samurai family's privileges, had a mobilization power far greater than the two million stone territory. She can concentrate her power to the greatest extent, which is something that traditional guardian daimyo cannot do.
As the banner of traditional virtue, Shiba Yiyin will not go beyond the boundaries. Instead, he must be willing to be bound by the tradition of the Wu family in order to gain morality and the support of the Wu family group.
The only thing Yiyin can do is to find the most trustworthy Wu family group, and use their bodies, emotions, blood, and interests to tie these people tightly and drive them.
The one party in the Nizi Mountain is the Spo family that Yiyin trusts most at this stage.
