Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 301 Accepting the Best Soldier in the World

Hideyoshi's performance of advocating the teaching with his heart also caught Hideyoshi's eyes. After finishing a set of procedures, he took the initiative to ask, "Just now, Sakuji said that the master is a disciple of Nanzen Temple in Kyoto. With such a profound Buddhist foundation, has he not yet become a Taoist?" Teacher?"

Yixin Chongchuan received the work profusely, and replied to Hideyoshi, "I should not be praised by Guan Baidian. Since the master thinks that I have not yet entered the Tao, there must be their reasons."

Hideyoshi continued to ask, "How many monks are there in Nanchan Temple, and how many of them are as profound in Buddhism as Master?"

He responded modestly with his heart: "There are 500 monks in the main mountain of the temple and its branches, and every brother is more intensive in Buddhism than me."

Hideyoshi couldn't help sighing with his heartfelt answer, "If the monks in the world can be like the master, how can there be Buddhists in the world going down the mountain to make trouble for more than a hundred years?"

Yixin Chongchuan didn't answer this question right away, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "Everything in the world has a definite number. Aren't those catastrophes just to test a great hero like His Highness Guan Bai to save the world?"

The horse was photographed, and even the Xiu family who was standing aside couldn't help but swear inwardly.

Naturally, Hideyoshi was also very comfortable being photographed by Yixin Chongchuan, and confirmed to Yixin Chongchuan, "Master, you are the master Chongchuan of Nanchan Temple, right, and you are under the auspices of Xuanpu Lingsan."

Yixin Chongchuan replied, "My teacher is Lingsan, but now I am studying the Fa with my uncle Delin in Jindiyuan."

"Then why don't you study the Fa well at the Golden Land Institute, but come to Etsumyo?" Hideyoshi asked curiously.

"This sect emphasizes the unity of knowledge and action. My master has always believed that Zen and Taoism cannot be mastered. No matter how much Buddhism is learned, it is useless if it is not combined with practice. When I was in Kyoto, I heard that the people of Echizen rarely have Buddhist enlightenment, so I took the initiative to ask the master Apply to preach in Echizen."

This answer can be said to be exactly what Hideyoshi wanted, and he clapped his hands happily and told Ishida Mitsunari, "After going back, send someone from Luozhong to ask for a copy of His Majesty's calligraphy for Nanchan Temple and Jindiyuan, and donate some incense to the two temples. Money, so to speak, is the court's will.

In addition, a Beichan Temple was built outside the city of Beizhizhuang, and the eminent monks of the Linji Sect were invited to come to Yueqian to preach and dispel doubts, and to help the common people. "

Ishida Mitsunari: "Kai, Your Highness is wise"

Passionate with heart: "Thank you, Your Highness, Guan Bai. I hope that this sect can allow us to erect a statue of His Highness in Beichan Temple, so that pilgrims who come and go can appreciate Guan Bai's kindness, and let His Highness and his descendants enjoy the offerings from generation to generation."

So, why did he later become the prime minister in black of the Tokugawa family, just because his gifted high EQ is not to be liked by others.

Xiujia affirmed that Yixin Chongchuan has gained a lot of benefits for the Linji Sect. In addition, he has already caught Hideyoshi's eyes. In the future, he must be a character who will rise steadily in the future, and may rise faster than history. Before the age of 30, he has already become the presiding officer of the branch temple.

The good news is that the current Hideyoshi has not yet discovered the ability to worship with the heart, or the current culture of worshiping with the heart has not yet developed to the point where Hideyoshi pays attention.

However, according to history, he will become the 1605th abbot of Nanzen Temple, the main headquarters of the Rinzai Sect, in 270, and he was also given purple clothes by Emperor Goyosei. Judging from the growth trajectory, the ability to worship with the heart will inevitably be discovered by Hideyoshi in the future. Become the most important right-hand man at the end of his administration.

Xiujia only hoped that by then, Xin Chongchuan would be developed, and he would not forget himself, the guy who once helped him.

Sanada Masayuki finally entered the Tao. Standing in the corner, the boy Nobushige witnessed the whole process. He watched helplessly as the wise and powerful father had his head shaved and six ring scars were scalded on his head. He had mixed feelings in his heart.

If there is no accident, he and his father and elder brother will be separated from each other in the future, and it will be difficult to see each other again. Fortunately, the place where his father became a monk is no longer a remote and strict Shingon sect, but to integrate enlightenment into daily life , the Rinzai sect that emphasizes the unity of knowledge and action.

Although he didn't know the difference between different Buddhist sects when he was young, he knew that his father would not have to travel so far, and would not have to be locked up in a temple for a lifetime to eat fast and chant Buddha.

The distance between father and son is obviously so close, but it is hard to see each other again. Even though it is right in front of your eyes, it has become the farthest distance in the world.

Just when Nobushige Sanada was in a daze, Hideyo who was standing next to Hideyoshi said again, "From now on, Yu Yisong will ask Master Qian Xue to take care of him."

"General Zuo is serious. This is what a Fu servant should do. I also promised His Highness Guan Bai that I will teach Sanhe Shou to be a qualified warrior." Qianxue responded.

Hideka nodded, pointed at Nobushige Sanada and said, "Master Qian Xuexue's promise is believed, isn't it because you have your son as a role model?"

Hideka turned his head and threw an olive branch at Nobushige Sanada and said, "Your name is Genjiro, right? How about it, come and be my retainer."

Hideka's invitation brought Nobushige Sanada, who was in deep thinking, back to reality. He was stunned and responded, "Thank you for your kindness, but I am already Major General Uesugi's retainer."

Doesn't the Hideya know that Nobushige Sanada is a retainer of Keiko Uesugi?Hideka knew that Hideka was there when Naoe Kanesuke spoke to protect Nobushige Sanada that day in Toyama Castle, so why did Hideka know that Sanada Nobushige was Uesugi's retainer and still invite him?

The reason is actually very simple, because his father is Sanada Masayuki, who became the servant of Shinano Ogasawara Hidetada after he became a monk, and his elder brother is the lord of Shinano Ueda, a retainer of Tokugawa.

Now he himself has received 1000 stone from Shinano Kawanakajima, and three generations of his father and son have revolved around Kita Shinano. This is definitely something that Hideyoshi in power does not want to see.

Especially at the moment when the Sanada family was handed over to the Tokugawa family, Masayuki Sanada, an old fox, would help Xiuzhen to manage the household affairs of the Ogasawara family, Hideyoshi desperately wanted a hostage whom both sides cared about to keep by his side.

In fact, even if Hideka didn't open his mouth, Hideyoshi would ask Sanada Nobushige to join his yellow mother's clothes, but now that Hideya has opened his mouth to invite.

But a small person like Nobushige Sanada has the same meaning whether he is on his side or in the Bizen family, so Hideyoshi didn't say anything to stop him, and he seemed to be watching the show.

Hideka originally thought that Nobushige Sanada would be a smart person like in history, but who would have thought that he would still be rejected by him even though he had already hinted so clearly, and his face felt a little helpless.

Fortunately, Sanada Masayuki understood the truth at this time, and said to Nobushige Sanada, "Genjiro, it is your honor to be loved by the left lieutenant general, and you will follow the left lieutenant general from now on. The branches and leaves are scattered.

As for the issue you mentioned about Major General Uesugi, I think Zuo Lieutenant General and His Highness Guan Bai will explain the situation to Major General Uesugi. "

As Qian Xue said, when Sanada Nobushige changed his family, he didn't need to contact him at all. For such a matter, Hideie, who is the head of the family, would have to contact Uesugi Jingsheng.

Don't look at Uesugi Jingsheng who is usually stupid, everyone is very shrewd. During the chaos in the palace, he knew how to exchange gold equivalent to 2 years of Echigo's annual output in exchange for the aid of the Takeda family, so as to establish a victory for himself The situation is enough to see that he is a guy who is willing to carry.

In history, Uesugi Kagekatsu has always been acquiescing to the fact that Sanada Nobushige was included in Hideyoshi's Huangmu Yizhong. Presumably he can see the doorway clearly, and it should not be difficult for the Hide family to come forward to give an opinion.

Although the current Sanada Nobushige looks a bit dull because of his lack of life experience, he is the son of Sanada Masayuki after all.

The refusal just now was due to the loyalty of the retainers. Now, with the guarantee of his father, Hideyoshi and others, he is not stupid. In front of several people, he saluted the Hide family and said, "Genjiro has seen the Lord."

In fact, if the Hide family did not propose to include Sanada Nobushige as a vassal, Hideyoshi would also take the initiative to propose it. The reason is as mentioned above: the Sanada family has a lot of power in Shinano, and Hideyoshi needs a hostage by his side.

Now that Hideyoshi has taken the initiative to ask for it, and Hideyoshi's goal has been achieved, he will naturally not meddle in seizing favors from his son, and acquiesced in Sanada Nobushige's entry into Hideyoshi's command.

After Changxing shaved his head and agreed to be Hideyoshi Ogasawara's servant, Hideyoshi told Sanada Masayuki the top-secret information when everything was settled and he couldn't go back on his word.

"What? Is Lieutenant General Tokugawa still alive or dead?" Qianxue (Masayuki Sanada) was as shocked when she heard the news as when Hideyoshi and Hideo first heard it.

But Qianxue was different from the two of them in that she didn't question the news. After all, the news came from Sekibaek Hideyoshi, so it must not be faked.

After hearing the news, Qianxue's eyeballs twitched in her sockets, and she quickly figured out why she was called by Hideyoshi today.

Qian Xue asked Hideyoshi: "Does His Highness Guanbai want me to assist His Highness Xiuzhen in controlling the Tokugawa family?"

Hideyoshi shook his head and said, "It's best to be able to control the Tokugawa family, but Yu Yimaru has indeed been adopted by the Ogasawara family. From a legal point of view, it may be difficult to have the opportunity to inherit the Tokugawa family before the brothers die.

In addition, the matter of Takechiyo's succession to the Tokugawa family was decided under my witness, so I couldn't go back and deprive him of his inheritance.Therefore, the purpose of sending you to Xiuzhen's side is to stabilize Dongguo. "

In fact, there is still half a sentence left in the Hideka's words, which is "Under the premise of stabilizing the Eastern Kingdom, divide the Tokugawa family as much as possible."

Otherwise, if you want to stabilize the Eastern Kingdom, you can just send any old and important minister Hu Songzhu Chiyo back to Suruga, why send Qian Xue to Xiuzhen's side to sit in Suruga with Xiuzhen?

Why would it be necessary to fish out his guilty body and send him to Suruga?

Ten thousand steps back, Tokugawa Ieyasu died, the one who should go back is Takechiyo the most, and the one who should not go back is Xiuzhen, now Hideyoshi is doing the opposite, the purpose must not be pure.

Only in this way can Hideyoshi gain his own value, perhaps because Hideyoshi has taken a fancy to his diplomatic skills in going back and forth among the daimyos, and this is the reason why Hideyoshi let himself be by Xiuzhen's side.

What kind of person is Qian Renxue? As soon as Hideyoshi finished speaking, he understood the part that was not mentioned in Hideyoshi's sentence, nodded and promised Hideyoshi, "I already know what your highness said, your highness Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely do my best."

After getting the promise, Qianxue and Sanada Nobushige were taken down, and Hideyoshi discussed with Hideka and Xiuzhen for a while before telling them to leave.

The main thing is to give Xiuzhen some precautions, and at the same time call out some Huangmu Yizhong and banner warriors who were in the queue and originally planned to transfer to Xiuzhen, so that he can recognize their faces.

Due to the lack of knowledge and action (1 shi) at that time, Xiuzhen did not have any signs of the army to follow when she went abroad from Hanoi, and only brought more than ten retainers and warriors to the north.

Who would have thought that this trip to Hokuriku would earn him 10 koku of knowledge and practice, as well as a huge retainer group of dozens of people, and Shinano Satoshi general Sanada Masayuki assisted him, so it can be said that he was the biggest winner.

Not to mention the possibility of sharing part of the benefits from the Tokugawa family, this is no longer turning a bicycle into a motorcycle, but turning a bicycle into a car.

Perhaps it was because of the great changes recently, even though her leg was injured, Xiuzhen's face was still filled with a happy smile all the time, even the attendants around Xiuji said, "Xiuzhen Palace is much more kind than before."

After everything was done, it was already getting late, and it was too late for the Xiu family to return to the Dasheng Temple City in the rear. The Xiu family simply repaired at Beizhizhuang under Hideyoshi's arrangement. After the Dasheng Temple army set off tomorrow, it would naturally go north. Zhuang and Xiujia reconcile.

When Hideo came to the house arranged by Hideyoshi, he felt a different kind of atmosphere here, and the air was full of gunpowder.

The Xiu family found the banner samurai Keer Caizang who was fetching water and asked, "What's the matter? Why do you feel that the atmosphere at home is not right?"

Ke'er held a bamboo leaf in his mouth, thinking that the question was from a colleague, so he replied without turning his head, "Hey, my lord picked up a young man from Uesugi's house, and said he was the lord's new attendant. Banbing Wei Fei wanted to go up and show off that he was the leader of the entourage, and he had the knowledge of Qianshi.

Who would have thought that the new doll was more ruthless than him, opening his mouth and saying, "I have three thousand stone materials in Chuanzhong Island" and directly killing the half soldiers and guards, saying that the lord invited him back a master. "

When he finished speaking, he turned around and saw that it was the lord who was so frightened that the wooden barrel in his hand fell to the ground.

Hideka didn't have time to pay attention to his gaffe, and knew in his heart that it was indeed his mistake, after inviting Nobushige Sanada, he didn't arrange his affairs properly.

No matter in history or in the present world, Nobushige Sanada's Zhixing in the Uesugi family is 1000 shi from Kawanakajima, but this is not all of his income.

At Uesugi’s house, he can receive a subsidy income worth about 2000 shi. The addition of these two figures is the reason why Sanada Nobushige received 3000 shi from Kawanakajima at Uesugi’s house on Baidu Encyclopedia.

This is actually a misunderstanding of his salary.

The 1000 stones of Chuanzhong Island were actually sealed by Jing Sheng to Xinfan, and it was a territory that could be hereditary as a retainer.The other 2000 shi may be out of love, or out of the consideration of connecting with Sanada's allies. The additional temporary expenditure for Nobushige is a salary that cannot be inherited.

In fact, regardless of the 2000 koku material subsidy, for a samurai who has just joined the family, he can give 1000 kok of knowledge and practice, which is enough to show that Uesugi Jingsheng attaches great importance to the Sanada Alliance and loves Sanada Nobushige.

But you Uesugi Jingsheng attaches importance to it, and loves it if you like it. The extra price you offered is out of geopolitical considerations, and it must come with a premium.

In fact, from Xiujia's point of view, even the 1000 shi Zhixing of Xinfan already has a slight premium, and now it is really worthless to recognize his additional 2000 shi material salary.

The most important thing is that Uesugi Jingsheng can do whatever he wants, because his Uesugi family still has the old warlord mentality.

Today's Yuxi family has undergone reforms, and everything is based on the "Yuxi Family's Zhufamu" as the criterion.

Although the head of the family has a certain degree of immunity, if this privilege is used too much, it will inevitably destroy the deterrent effect of the "Famu", which is exactly the problem that the Xiu family has always avoided.

From this point of view, I have dug a big hole for myself by bringing it under my command out of a collection of generals.

But now that the words have been spoken, if the person is sent back to ask Hideyoshi, "Do you want me?", wouldn't the Hideo family lose face?

In the end, the Xiu family was really helpless. After much deliberation, they still decided to only give him 1000 shi for Zhixing safety. Although the other 2000 shi subsidy was accepted, they did not go to Yuxi's public account, but were allocated from their own expenses.
