Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 180 The Rampant Enli Temple

At the first evaluation meeting in Sakamoto in August, Yoshitoki Kira was discussing the construction with his retainers when a young monk rushed straight into the evaluation room and glanced arrogantly in front of many retainers in the evaluation room Everyone within a glance said loudly: "Kira Yoshishi knelt down to receive the decree!"

"Bastard!" The warriors of Sanhe were enraged by the monk's rude behavior, and they all reprimanded: "Get out!"

Startled by a group of angry warriors, the monk backed away in panic, and felt that he was too cowardly, so he forced his head up and threatened: "Kira Yoshitoshi! I am ordered by Prince Yao Zunfa, the head of the Tiantai seat! Are you going to refuse to convey the decree? You should think clearly! This is the decree of the Tiantai seat master!"

"Looking for death!" A flash of anger flashed in his eyes. Seeing that the monk trespassed in the evaluation room, Kira Yoshishi just snorted coldly: "I am a follower of the Linji Sect, not a follower of the Tiantai Sect. I have no obligation." See your envoy on a prostration, if you have something to say, speak up!"

"How courageous! I remember you!" The monk had never been so angry before, and he sneered while staring at Kirayoshi viciously: "According to the decree of Prince Yao Zunfa, the master of the Tiantai seat, Ji Liangyi will be ordered to send Sakamoto, Jiantian should stop all expansions, and all buildings should be demolished within three months, and if there is a violation, they will be severely punished!"

"What a big tone!" Hearing such an arrogant and domineering decree, let alone Kira Yoshitoshi couldn't bear it, even Yamamoto Tokiyuki and Hosokawa Fujitaka also changed their expressions. No one thought that Enryaku Temple would dare to blatantly attack the Kira family. Under the decree, His Royal Highness Gongfang and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all polite to him, but this Yanli Temple actually asked him to "stop immediately" in an orderly tone, otherwise he would be "severely punished."

"When did Mount Hiei come under the control of my Kira family?"

"You Enryaku Temple is too domineering? Why do you just stop!" Watanabe Takatsuna was furious and stood up to stop the monk.He yelled: "Demolish it? Is this what Hiei-san should be in charge of? Do you think my Kira family's [-] warriors are easy to bully? Oh?"

"What are you going to do? Get out of the way...Ki Liangyishi! Take care of your subordinates!" The monk took a few steps back guiltily.It seemed that the Kira family was not afraid at all.Quickly put down the decree and ran away with a loud shout: "The decree has been read out, you decide for yourself!"

"Humph! Trash!" Yoshiki Kira highlighted two words, and glanced at the officials with a sullen face. The warriors of Mikawa shouted to fight Enryakuji, while the new members of the shogunate, such as Hosokawa Fujitaka, stood up one by one. He was silent, and after discussing for a long time at the evaluation meeting, he did not come up with a charter.

"Okay! Didn't he ask to stop? Then stop!" Yoshihiro Kira announced on the spot that the expansion of the castle town would be terminated, and left angrily with a kick to overturn the case.

"Lord Master!" When Tokyuki Yamamoto limped after Kirayoshi, he said: "The decision of Enryaku Temple is indeed too much. But please be patient for now, Master Fujitaka, as the intermediary of the family, go to The court shogunate appeals!"

"Appeal? Is it useful?" Yoshitoki Kira snorted coldly and said, "The mountain mage of Mount Hiei is one of the three unsatisfactory people in the world in the Shirakawa-in era! What do you ask the family to appeal? Waiting for the monks of Mount Hiei to carry the shrine of the mountain king to the court Sue?"

Shirakawa-in is the famous Emperor Shirakawa, who overwhelmed the Guan Fujiwara family to take over the government and created a precedent for the court system. "The Tale of the Heike" records the three unsatisfactory things in the world that Emperor Shirakawa called. The original words are: "The water of Kamo River, Shuangliu's gambling game and Master Shan, these are the only three things in the world that I don't like!"

Kamo River is the Kamo River, which is named after it is located on the side of Kamo Mizu Shrine, which is also known as Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto.Therefore, people in Kyoto usually call it Kamogawa, and floods in the Kamogawa River in Kyoto often bring disasters.At the same time, there is also a benefit, a flood is a big cleaning.Because the source of the river in Kyoto is also the execution ground and the place where the corpses were discarded in ancient times. Once the floods washed away these corpses, the problem of pollution would be solved.

Shuanglu is a well-known chess game in ancient and modern China and abroad. It was passed down from the Tang Empire. The specific system is that Shuanglu chess pieces are in the shape of a horse, with fifteen or twelve black and white chess pieces. It is a game that is won if the chess piece goes to the opposite side first, which is a bit similar to flying chess. It is a famous Japanese gambling game in the middle ages that was loved by nobles, so the imperial court banned it for a long time.

In the end, the master of the mountain was the armed monks and soldiers of Enli Temple in Mount Hiei. The missionary master Saicheng went to the Tang Empire to study Buddhism, and returned to Japan the next year. It has also been used as a gate of ghosts to suppress Kyoto, and together with Huguojiaowang Temple, it has been used as a dojo to suppress Huguodu.

The abbot of Yanli Temple is called the master of Tiantai. Before the No.13th generation, most of the masters of the Tiantai were disciples of the Zhizheng sect, so the sect had a great reputation. In the first year of Yongzuo, when Yu Qing of the Zhizheng School was the No. 18 seat leader, he was resisted by the disciples of the Cijue School, so the chaos of Yongzuo's declaration of orders occurred.

The disciples of the Yuanzhen Sect withdrew from Yanli Temple in the fourth year of Zhengli, and took Yuancheng Temple as a new base. From then on, Yanli Temple of Shanmen and Yuancheng Temple of Simen completely opposed and fiercely confronted each other, which is a bit like the two gates of Xingfu Temple. It means that Yuancheng Temple was later burned by the monks and soldiers of Enli Temple, and a large number of Garan in the temple was destroyed until the Warring States Period.

At that time, the monks of Mt. Hiei privately recruited monks and soldiers to maintain the manor at the foot of the mountain. They were called Shanfushi. Such a sturdy existence can't be recruited by these mountain mages.

In the era of Emperor Shirakawa, these mountain mages were lawless. If they felt wronged, they would go to Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine and carry the mikoshi with the authority of the sanno to Sakyo, Kyoto to block the road. It was exposed to the public, and even parked in the open air to withstand the wind and rain, so in the end, Emperor Shirakawa always compromised and asked the mages to carry the mikoshi back.

This method also appeared during the Tokuzai Ichikui that broke out after the Cargill Rebellion. The imperial court and the shogunate were forced to occupy Kyoto by Doichikui. They had no choice but to agree with the Tokuzawa decree to protect the interests of these village groups, but on the issue of repaying the land It also aroused dissatisfaction with the leaders of the monks and soldiers of Enli Temple in Mount Hiei, so they ran to Kyoto with the mikoto to make a fuss.In the end, the court and shogunate were forced to amend the decree.The Kanda that promises to be occupied by temples and shrines is not within the scope of the decree.

Such exaggerated power.How did he fight Hiei when he was in Kirayoshi?Could it be that he burned Mount Hiei like a certain demon king?That was death, and he didn't want to die yet.

When Kira Yoshishi was hit by the sudden decree of Enli Temple, he was devoid of energy all day, and after a night of tossing and turning, he invited important ministers to discuss how to deal with it. After repeated discussions for a long time, he could not make a decision.

"Good job, Hieizan Enryakuji Temple! No wonder Oda Nobunaga wants to burn your mountain! Others are afraid of your Sanwang Mikoshi, but my family is not afraid! I really think my family is made of mud!"

"My lord, don't be reckless! You must know that it is the place of faith for generations of royal families and ministers. Most of the ministers in the court are followers of Enli Temple. Your Highness can't keep me from waiting!" Hosokawa Fujitaka persuaded with a headache.

The status of Yanli Temple is too lofty. In ordinary temples, Dingtian is the abbot. Only the abbot of Yanli Temple is called the Tiantai seat master. Every Tiantai seat master is either a royal prince or a descendant of the Wushe family, although it is only in name The highest leader in the world does not actually have much real power, but Enli Temple still has a huge influence on the imperial court that is one step away from Kyoto.

Enryaku Temple is known as "Beiling Mountain Gate" and also claims to be "Mother Mountain of Buddhism". It has had great influence on the imperial court since the Heian period. It has always held the greatest power in the five mountains of Kinki and enjoyed great religious authority. Neither the imperial court nor the shogunate dared to provoke him easily.There has always been a strong internal autonomy, not to mention all kinds of inaccessible privileges.There is also the right to choose the owner of the Tiantai seat, that is to say, whoever we elect will be in power, and then rule the court and replace the noble with a close relationship with the faction to be the owner of the Tiantai seat.

"Don't you see what Hiei-san is planning? They want to take away the foundation of my Kira family, including Sakamoto, Katada, Otsu and even the entire Shiga County! Who is behind this? Is there any secret behind the Rokaku family? Agitation? Enryaku Temple’s move is so big, why didn’t the Xijiao Temple in Otsu respond at all? Don’t you find it strange?” Yoshitoki Kira was filled with righteous indignation, and he immediately thought of several hypotheses, what a huge network behind this waiting for him!One wrong step and there is no turning back!They can only be reduced to fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered.

"Could it be that all of this is a conspiracy? Enryaku Temple has long been greedy for Sakamoto's wealth, and has been holding back just waiting for us to make mistakes, and finally took the entire Sakamoto and even Shiga County under the pretext of pressing harder and harder? What a terrible situation." Tokiyuki Yamamoto suddenly realized, the question that has been bothering him for many days suddenly became clear, why the Kira family repeatedly violated Mount Hiei, but the other party has not moved, it turns out that they have been planning how to take Kira away family business.

For a long time, Ben said indignantly: "My lord is right! We must never retreat! My Kira family is rising like the rising sun and cannot be stopped! If we take a step back now, the greedy Enryakuji Temple will definitely make progress. What can we do to stop us then? ? The Rokkaku family and Saikyoji joined hands to snatch Otsu, Enryakuji snatched Sakamoto, and it only takes one turmoil for Kenta to be reduced to dust. This is to destroy my Kira family!"

"The main family must not give in! How can the main family rule the land of the two counties once this example is established? The rise of my Kira family will also be suspended!" Yoshitoki Kira thought calmly: "No matter how strong Mt. Hiei is, it is impossible to be invulnerable! There must be There is a way to solve this crisis! I believe I can do it!"

Soon he thought of a way. He needed to use the power of public opinion to instigate resistance to the hegemony of Enryakuji Temple. Hattori Masaki quickly spread the news of the termination of the expansion of Sakamoto Town, and began to create public opinion to incite dissatisfaction. At the same time, he sent Hattori ninjas Contacted the original Yixiangzong believers who were hiding in Kita Omi through relationships, and quietly spread the "Ichijizong riot" incident was the instigation of Tiantaizong disciples.

So an interesting scene appeared. The Kira family had not publicly announced the suspension of expansion, and the entire Shiga County was known to passers-by. Such a large project was rejected outrageously by Master Shan with just one word. And what would the townspeople who were interested in these interests think, and what would the tens of thousands of out-of-town residents who had set up tents and waited for the establishment of the new town to move in to plan to think?

The public opinion in Shiga County was in an uproar, and the news spread quickly to Kinai under the spread of interested people. Many people doubted the authenticity of this statement. Negotiating secretly with the lord of Katada, everything is going in a weird direction. (to be continued..)
