different warring states of japan

Chapter 330
Ashikaga Yoshiki and Uesugi Terutora's thoughts, is it as glorious as Uesugi Terutoro said?

I'm afraid not.

High-ranking people are also human beings and have their own desires, but they can hide their desires in the common interests of everyone.

The public is selfless, she is the public, how can there be selfishness?

People belong to the public, and their physical needs and psychological needs will naturally be decorated in a decent way.

As long as Uesugi Terutora can conquer Kanto, it will benefit the samurai under his command.

It doesn't matter whether she goes to war for Shiba Yoshiin or uses Shiba Yoshiin to go to war.

The martial arts value profit, as long as the profit is sufficient, the reason can be made up at will.

Uesugi Terotora needs to convince the samurai under her command, and she also needs to convince herself, because it is her responsibility to continue the Uesugi family business.

In the same way, Ashikaga Yoshiki is the same.

If marrying Shibo Yoshigin can stabilize the three generations of the Ashikaga family, she is wise.

On the contrary, the faint king who was fascinated by beauty ruined a century-old family fortune, which can only be used as a wake-up call for future generations.

All in all, as long as the result is beneficial to the samurai under his command, everything about the superior is right.

Samurai is such an unpretentious and boring profit-seeking thing, so simple and easy to understand that it is boring.

In fact, Uesugi Terotora himself can't tell which is more important than a beautiful family business. Human nature is inherently complicated.

But she understood that the appearance of Yoshihiro Shiba provided her with a path that she didn't have before.

It is far better than the road she planned to get closer to the shogunate before she went to Luo.

There is one sentence that she didn't mention with Naoe Kanesuke, that is, her coveting of Shiba Yoshigin's blood also stems from her ambition for the people of the world.

The samurai family originated from the two surnames of the Minamoto family and the Taira family. After the Genpei war, the Taira family was defeated, and there was a general consensus among the samurai families.

An elder who is not Genji cannot be a pillar of the samurai family, and a pillar of the samurai family cannot be the shogun.

To put it simply, only the blood of Genji can open the palace and serve as servants on the same day.

And Uesugi Terutora was born in the Bando Happei family, so she is not qualified to fight.

But Yoshigin Shiba is different. The Shiba family is a close branch of the famous Ashikaga family of Genji.

She and his children will have the noble blood of Genji flowing through their bodies.

As for whether the male descendants count as Genji's bloodline?If your fist is big enough, you can talk to every martial artist in the world.

As long as future generations bear the name of the Shiba family, it is not considered a violation of the rules, and it is enough to kill a few ignorant ones.

Terotora Uesugi didn't know whether he loved Shiba Yoshigin or could use him in every way.

All I know is that he is a priceless treasure placed in front of him by God, and he must not be missed.

If you miss it, you will be heartbroken for a lifetime.

In the morning of the next day, Yiyin took a bath and changed his clothes, preparing to participate in the brotherhood activities held by the Great Royal Terrace, the Winter Festival of the Buddha.

The suppression of men in the samurai society is extremely severe. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are reproductive tools and family property.

Even noble men from the samurai family rarely have room for freedom.

But human nature is hard to suppress, and the brotherhood is the social circle formed by the men of the samurai family.

Here, they can get a little respite, gain extremely weak influence, and feed back into the relationship between husband and wife where women are superior to men.

Through the brotherhood, men of the Samurai family can participate in political and economic activities, and slightly enhance their sense of presence at home.

Therefore, almost all samurai men are very active in the activities of the brotherhood, which is another battlefield for them to protect themselves and their relatives.

However, due to the suppression of men in the samurai society, there are very few types of activities that they can hold, only tea parties, flower viewing parties, and Buddhist rituals.

Today's event is the Winter Buddha Ceremony.

Warrior Ji is called a female in the battlefield, and most of them have no sense of religion.

The men of the Wu family are more enthusiastic about this because their lives are boring and their spirits need sustenance.

Since the three generations of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu slaughtered the imperial court, Shintoism, which was closely related to the imperial court, gradually disappeared, and Buddhism dominated.

In recent years, mainstream Buddhism has been divided into three schools, the Tendai sect of Mount Hiei, the Shingon sect of Koyasan, and the Ichigo sect of Ishiyama Honganji.

Hieizan Tendai Sect originated in the era of envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and gained enlightenment in Tiantai Mountain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, hence the name Tiantai Sect.

This sect is close to Kyoto, and it takes the upper-level route all the year round. It is the most nourishing life among the three sects.

Koyasan was divided by civil strife, and the new school left Wakayama. Since then, Koyasan has been called the old school of Shingon sect, and its power has been greatly reduced.

Later, because of the successful merger of the Hosho Sect and the takeover of Yamato Kofukuji Temple, based on the old site of Nara, the old Tendai Sect regained its foothold.

Both the Tiantai Sect and the Shingon Sect are old-fashioned sects, which tend to be Tang Dynasty Buddhism. The Dharma is profound and transcends the world.

But Yixiangzong came from Kanto.

Since the Song Dynasty, the belief in the Pure Land has risen in Buddhism, and the concept of entering the Pure Land through belief in Amitabha, the Buddha of Ultimate Bliss, has been widely spread.

The ancient city of Kamakura in Kanto was the place where the Buddhist Pure Land belief in the Song Dynasty spread to Japan, known as the Pure Land Sect.

The Buddhist principles of the recent schools are too profound, while the Pure Land Buddhism is concise and close to the world, and is more acceptable to the working people, and has a great influence in Kanto.

After that, an extreme branch was expelled from Kamakura, that is, the Pure Land Shinzong, also known as the Yixiangzong, who can become a Buddha by chanting Amitabha Buddha.

The Yixiang Sect was expelled by the Kanto Pure Land Sect, and came to Jinji to take root.

Because the Buddhism of the Zongmen is simple and clear, a large number of people at the bottom are attached to it, and it has become the strongest secular force among the three schools.

Odaisho has a noble status, and when he held a ceremony to Buddha, it was naturally presided over by important figures from the Tendai Sect of Mount Hiei.

When he got to the imperial platform, Yiyin realized that he was wrong. The person who presided over the ceremony was actually a nun.

He was also surprised, as it was inconvenient for Tiantai sect masters to go down the mountain in the capacity of the Great Imperial Academy, at least they should have sent the masters of the temples on the mountain, or the dignitary with a high status to come.

Who would have thought that it was only a small Nizheng who came.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a nun in Mt. Hiei is no longer a small person, but at the level of the Ashikaga family, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is treated lightly and humiliated.

Unless it was designated by the Odaisho himself.

In the Buddhist hall of the Royal Terrace, surrounded by sandalwood, the Buddha's light is mellow.This immersive atmosphere is most suitable for deepening religious beliefs.

Wu Jianan's life is aggrieved, he has no status in the family, and is restricted by many restrictions, so he cannot move freely.

Except for a few fraternities and handkerchief-handing gatherings, they worship Buddha and believe in religion, also to relieve the spiritual emptiness.

The profound Buddhist teachings of the Tiantai sect can gain a firm foothold in the upper class because these men don't need to know anything about Buddhist teachings.

What they practice is not Buddhism, but loneliness, emptiness and coldness.

Yiyin can be regarded as a proud idol by the men of the Wu family because he fought fiercely for these poor people.

When he entered the Buddhist hall, the surrounding atmosphere visibly stagnated for a moment, and many eyes turned away from the Buddhist scriptures and statues.

The host, Nizheng, stepped forward to greet her in person, with her head wrapped in plain color to cover her face, revealing only her two beautiful big eyes.

The eyelashes are long, the eyes are darker, the whites are less, and the water is not aggressive, extremely soft, and there is a hint of compassion.

The head wrap is not tight, and through the gaps, one can see her dignified appearance, and she is also a beauty.

"Poor Ni Tianhai, I met Lord Qian Xin."
