At this point, Yiyin was no longer interested in continuing the conversation. central
His meaning is very clear. Akechi Mitsuhide must implement it even if he doesn't understand it. This is the general strategic direction set by Yoshibank himself, and no one can tolerate the irresponsible remarks of others.
The emperor's line has been destroyed by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, so let it be buried in the long river of history and don't pull it out again.
Yoshigan will inherit Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's legacy, seek to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty as the king of Japan, become a loyal lackey of the Ming Dynasty's tribute system, and lay a solid foundation for the theocratic rule of the Shiba family.
Yiyin said after looking at Lin Xinsheng who was eager to try.
"Actually, I have always admired Zhu Xi, but it is a pity that there are too few famous people who are proficient in Confucianism in the island country, and I have never been able to find a suitable professor to teach him.
Mr. Lin, are you willing to give me some advice and take up the post of Professor of Confucianism in the Spo School? "
Lin Xinsheng was overjoyed. Sibo Yiyin's reputation for generosity was indeed well-deserved. She quickly kowtowed to the ground and replied. central
"The grassroots are willing."
Yoshigan shook his head and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Mr. Lin is a great talent and should not be treated lightly. I asked Nizi Shengjiu to allocate one hundred shi of Zhixingdi's annual salary income from the Sibo Materials Institute in Sibo recently to worship him.
Mr. Lin, from now on, you will be by my side and fill in the gaps for me. Please give me your advice if there is anything unreasonable in Si Bo's family's laws. Stop talking about common people. "
Lin Xinsheng was so happy that she almost fainted. Yiyin gave her so much that she almost couldn't swallow it.
The knowledge and practice of one hundred shi is equivalent to the threshold of a middle-level martial artist, and he is awarded the status of Confucian professor. Yiyin is a polite and virtuous corporal.
The improvement of Sibo's laws was originally a plan proposed by Dazang Chang'an to Yiyin. However, since Dazang Chang'an took over the Wu Family Yili Promotion Association, he has been very busy and delayed the construction of the laws. central
Lin Xinsheng is familiar with Confucian classics and has the support of the Confucian circle behind him. It would be good if he could add some Confucian teachings about monarchs and ministers to Sibo's laws.
Confucian scholars are not good at fighting or settling accounts, but they are good at making up stories. No matter how bad the king is, as long as they are willing to use them, they can make up a wise king for you.
What Yiyin lacks most now is this kind of talent. In terms of religion, the nuns headed by Tiantai Sect are helping him. But for worldly achievements, suitable advocates are also needed.
Sibo Gongyi is different from the previous military regime. In the future, it will inevitably be a secular regime with theocratic attributes. It is also a good tool to modify the Confucian Mandate of Heaven and the Divine Right of Kings for use in island countries.
This is also the reason why Yiyin deliberately raised Lin Xinsheng's treatment. He treated Lin Xinsheng favorably, and the Ji warriors in his family must have understood this and learned a few famous Confucian quotes to please the king.
As long as the atmosphere of studying Confucianism is formed, the newly-grown Ji warriors in the future will inevitably change their minds. After all, Confucianism has never lost in the matter of education and brainwashing, and has been highly valued by emperors of all ages.
Lin Xinsheng was of course grateful for this. She had found her own way out, and she had also found a way out for Confucianism in the island country. She must work hard and do her best for the Sibo family. central
After saying this, Yiyin felt a little tired.
He had just fought with Akechi Mitsuhide for 300 rounds, and then was dragged to Kennin Temple to see Lin Xinsheng by Akechi Mitsuhide, and he still couldn't catch his breath.
Even a tough man cannot withstand such oppression. Even if a man can bear it, his waist will be sore.
"That's it for today."
Yiyin stood up, Akechi Mitsuhide respectfully opened the door for him, and Lin Xinsheng kowtowed to the ground to say goodbye.
Just a few steps out of the Zen room, I saw Kamao Clan, who was in charge of guarding, walking quickly from the other side of the porch.
Yiyin asked. central
"What's up?"
Kamao clan bowed in reply.
"Your Majesty, Master Chongchuan, the abbot of Nanzen Temple, would like to see you."
Yiyin was stunned.
"Nanzen Temple? I went to Jianren Temple to worship Buddha. Why did the abbot of Nanzen Temple come over?"
Akechi Mitsuhide on the side smiled.
"Perhaps it was by chance that your Majesty came to visit me, and I felt admiration for you.
Is this how shameless you are to meet me? central
Didn't I tell you before that I came to Jianren Temple with my friend and met Lin Xinsheng by chance? That friend was Nanzenji Chongchuan. "
Yoshiyin glared at Ake Mitsuhide, what a coincidence? Another coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences in the world?
Akechi Mitsuhide, this bastard, she came to see him and wanted to have sex, but Yoshiyin had already reluctantly allowed her to succeed.
Unexpectedly, she was not greedy enough. After having fun, she still wanted to cause trouble. One moment, she came to the temple to recommend Lin Xinsheng, and the next moment, a minister from Nanzen Temple appeared.
You keep plucking the wool, are you trying to turn the silver hair into a blue dragon before you are willing to give up?
Yiyin snorted coldly and said.
"No." Yang
Akechi Mitsuhide was shocked, stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, this is the Yixiang Sect..."
Yiyin rolled his eyes at her, now admitting that it was not a coincidence? late!
"I told you, no see!"
When Mitsuhide Akechi mentioned Ichibune, Yoshigan knew she was planning something bad.
The Kamakura shogunate imitated the five mountains of the Rinzai sect of the Celestial Dynasty and established the five mountains system. Nanzenji Temple is the highest temple of the Rinzai sect in the island country. It ranks above the Five Mountains of Kyoto and the Five Mountains of Kamakura, and has a high status.
The most powerful Buddhist sects in the island country today are headed by the two Heian sects, namely the Tendai sect and the Shingon sect, which are esoteric sects. central
But historically, it was the Rinzai sect that had the closest relationship with the shogunate. The Rinzai sect belongs to the Zen sect and is the sect with the strictest precepts in Buddhism. Therefore, it was favored by the shogunate and established the Five Mountains nun system.
Because of its close relationship with the shogunate, the Rinzai sect developed rapidly. There were many hills within the sect, making it difficult to form a joint force, which eventually led to its gradual decline.
However, Nanzen Temple has a special status, with the highest temple status, and the status of the abbot is higher than that of the abbots of other Rinzai sect temples, and he is regarded as half a sect leader.
Regardless of the ambitious sects such as the Shoukokuji sect and the Dadeji sect, the Nanzenji sect is actually the most influential sect in the Rinzai sect.
As for the abbot of Nanzen Temple, Sochuan, she has been the abbot of Fuyan Temple, Zenxing Temple, and Kenchang Temple, and has a profound background. Especially Kenchoji Temple, which ranks first among the Five Mountains of Kamakura.
With this qualification, Nanzenji Shoden's status in the Rinzai Sect becomes even more transcendent.
The Second Heian Sect and the Rinzai Sect are both Buddhist sects that have close relations with the upper class of the island country. central
Other Pure Land sects are more inclined to take the bottom line. The Pure Land Sect of the island country is not the Pure Land Sect of the Celestial Dynasty. It is the result of Buddhism hatched by the localization of the island country itself.
The Ixiang sect that caused the most headaches for the samurai and was best integrated with the mainland of the island country was the extreme sect born from the Pure Land sect, the Pure Land Shin sect.
As time goes by, the cooperation between the Shiba family and the Yixiang clan has begun to change from mutually beneficial to harmful.
Akechi Mitsuhide hopes that Yoshigan can kick Ichibune away for two reasons.
First, Yixiang Zong's desire to establish an earthly Buddhist kingdom and use Yixiang Yiqi to overthrow the rule of the samurai family with arms ran counter to Yiyin's insistence on safeguarding the interests of the samurai family.
The conflict between the two parties will break out sooner or later. Rather than waiting passively, it is better to cut it off in advance.
Secondly, as the Shiba Oda family reconciled and turned to join forces for joint development, Yoshinobu would definitely give up part of the interests of the Hokuriku Road trade route to Oda Nobunaga. central
Part of the Oda family's territory has been embedded in the Hokuriku Road trade route, and the relationship between Oda Nobunaga and the Ichibuki clan is at loggerheads. Since Yoshigan has chosen the Oda family, he has no choice but to give up on the Ichibuki clan.
In addition, the Ichikuki clan occupies a large share of the Hokurikudo trading route. If the Shiba family wants to give the Oda family a satisfactory share without hurting their own interests, they can only cut off the Ichikō clan's flesh.
But Yixiang Zong is not a good person either.
Not only did the Shiba family need to rely on the strength of the Ichigo clan to maintain the safety of the Hokuriku Road trade route, but also Yoshiun's Chengshen campaign, of which Ichiko clan was also one of the main propagandists.
A direct break with the Yi Xiangzong would do too much harm to the Shiba family. So it’s not surprising that Akechi Mitsuhide started to make small moves secretly.
Although the Rinzai sect is loose, its overall strength is very strong, and Nanzenji Chongchuan also has thoughts on reorganizing the sect. Akechi Mitsuhide pulled her in
Come, it is obvious that the purpose is to use sects to check and balance sects.
Yoshigan looked at Mitsuhide Akechi and said nothing. Akechi Mitsuhide seemed a little anxious and continued to persuade. central
"Your Majesty, if the Tiantai Sect, Shingon Sect, and Rinzai Sect join forces to exclude the Ichixiang Sect, you can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the private fight between their sects.
Even if the Shiba family is influenced by the three sects in the future and becomes alienated from the Ichigo sect, Master Xianru of Ishiyama Honganji Temple will not be able to blame you.
Who made the Yi Xiang Zong have a bad reputation? The private fights between the sects have such a bad impact. You always have to take the overall situation into consideration. Even if the Yi Xiang Zong suffers some injustice, it is a helpless act.
Do you think this is true?
After all, Master Chongchuan is the abbot of Nanzen Temple and is highly respected. If you refuse to see her, she will definitely feel terrified. "
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"She's panicked. That's your problem. It's because you calculated too much that you got her in trouble. Central
You have to figure out how to make her not panic. Anyway, I won't see her today.
You said that you were doing these conspiracies to prepare for me, and you didn't want me to bother knowing these dirty things.
The results of it? Anyone wants to see me face-to-face, so don’t push yourself too far! Take care of your own affairs and don't bother me!
Pu Shengshi Township, let's go! "
Yoshihiro was determined at this time and would not let Akechi Mitsuhide succeed again. Akechi Mitsuhide calculated every step of the way and was simply using himself as a tool.
After meeting Lin Xinsheng in order to save face, I would like to see Nanzenji Chongchuan again and treat the master like a dog? Playing like a monkey? You have to teach her a lesson and let her explain it to Nanzenji Takden!
Kamaojigo looked back at Mitsuhide Akechi, who looked depressed, and suddenly felt refreshed. He smiled contemptuously and followed Yoshigan away. central
———
After all the Shiba sympathizers evacuated, Akechi Mitsuhide watched Yoshiba Shiba drive away and then smiled.
As always, things need to be done carefully, and boiling frogs in warm water slowly, how can you be so impatient?
Akechi Mitsuhide went too far and made repeated demands to make Shiba Yiyin angry and angry at him.
Nanzenji Soden will disappear if you don't see him. With the current status of the Shiba family, it is Nanzenji Soden who asks Akechi Mitsuhide to do something, so why not let this bald donkey dry for a while.
What Mitsuhide Akechi needs is Yoshigami Shiba's angry words to deal with it on his own.
After receiving a hint from Akechi Mitsuhide, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu began to actively respond to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's letters after he returned with his troops. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was indeed moved and wanted to leave Kyoto. central
Akechi Mitsuhide was worried that Yoshihiro Saba would be soft-hearted and forcefully keep Ashikaga Yoshiaki. After all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sibling, and the two look very similar.
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki stays in Kyoto, even if the Ashikaga Shogunate is eventually destroyed, Yoshihiro will prevent Oda Nobunaga from killing Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and he can somewhat save his life, but this is always a hidden danger.
But if Ashikaga Yoshiaki escapes and becomes a pawn in the hands of Western daimyo, his life will not be spared by Yoshigan.
Regardless of whether the Western daimyo used the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki to rebel against the center of the shogunate, or Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself caused trouble in the west, the trouble would eventually get out of hand and push him to death.
Akechi Mitsuhide was not worried about the future, but he was afraid that Yoshigan would intervene now and disturb Ashikaga Yoshiaki's escape, so he would deliberately find trouble and arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction.
Your Majesty needs to take care of everything, so what do you want your subordinates to do? Yoshihiro said a few harsh words and left angrily, but gave Akechi Mitsuhide the opportunity to act cheaply.
Akechi Mitsuhide could justifiably not report the plan. After Ashikaga Yoshiaki fled, the ship was done and the rice was cooked, and Yoshihiro had no way to pursue the case. central
———
Yoshiyin didn't know that Mitsuhide Akechi had a lot of trouble in his stomach. After a few days of leisure, he finally encountered something troublesome.
As the Tongxin Secretariat compiled the list of military merits and presented the Yiyin letter, Yiyin was momentarily dizzy by the huge number of post-war rewards.
Yiyin breathed a sigh of relief not to be rewarded with land, but the reward of money and food that followed still made Yiyin feel relieved.
He felt suffocated.
Yiyin read the document three times and was stunned for a long time at the last number before asking.
"Is the reward list confirmed?"
Naomasa Ii held his head proudly and said. central
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is a list that I have personally checked. There are no omissions. It is fair, fair and open. No one has any objections."
Yiyin's face was stiff, and his tongue felt bitter, and he was speechless. After a while, he said.
"Shixiang."
"Hi!"
"I'm going to Sakai Port in three days. You should prepare first."
One hundred thousand troops fought fiercely in the spring and summer. Not only were the military expenditures staggering, but the number of post-war rewards exceeded Yi Yin's imagination.
In desperation, Yiyin could only find his own little wealth goddess, Takada Harano, and think of a solution. central
The reason why Yiyin set off in three days was to solve the problem of Lilu's reward.
News came from Sakai Port that Lilu's Nanman merchant ship had returned to Sakai Port. The Battle of Shiba Oda is over, and it’s time for Lilu to become the general agent of the Nanman Shogunate.
Now Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been reduced to a decoration, and Kyoto is under the control of the Shiba family.
With the prestige of Yiyin, it is easy to open a shogunate council to decide on such trivial matters as the general agent of Nanman.
At the shogunate council meeting the next day, the facts were just as Yoshigan expected.
No matter what Yoshihiro said in the review, the leader, Hatakeyama Takamasa, and the acting official of the political office, Ninagawa Chiayo, only firmly supported it, and other small fish and shrimps even rushed to agree.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was sitting in the main seat, said nothing and looked on with cold eyes, just like a decoration. central
Seeing the samurai family of the shogunate rushing to flatter and flatter Yoshigan, the last hesitation in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart was finally cut off.
The shogunate has been reduced to the lackeys of the Shiba family, and there is no place for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to stand. Oda Nobunaga was in Kyoto, and she was just a decoration. Yiyin is in Kyoto, and she is even more of a decoration.
Extremely stimulated by reality, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart surged with pride and ambition.
She will follow the example of her ancestor Ashikaga Takauji and go to the Western Kingdom to seek support. One day, she will lead an army back to Kyoto and become a veritable Ashikaga shogun.
However, Yoshihiro didn't know that he was going through the motions for Lilu's Nanman general agent, but it stimulated the nerves of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and helped Akechi Mitsuhide complete the final step of expelling Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
