Pillars of the Wu family

When Torachiyo asked Tailian Mencha about the spiritual power of Iansheng Quanxian, Tailian Mencha smiled and stared at him with eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world, until Torachiyo was a little bit overwhelmed, and then said softly : "The poor monk is indeed very familiar with the power of the power of the rice rope. In fact, the authority of the power of the rice rope is the Fudo Myo-o who is the incarnation of Dainichi Tathagata. He came to the mountains of the rice rope in the Shinano country and changed into the image we see again."

From Tailian Mencha's description, he knew for the first time that this Fansheng Quanxian was transformed by the Buddha, and his admiration in his heart went up to a higher level. From Tai Lian Mencha's mouth, he learned about Huyin, Xiaojian and other places. All kinds of descriptions made Torachiyo's eyes glisten with fascination, especially when this Iinawaquan was descending on Mount Iinawa just across the mountain from Myoko Mountain. One point can be said to be especially exciting for Tiger Chiyo.

According to legend, the founder of Mount Iinawa was Ito Zhongnawa, the lord of Hagino Castle in the Kamakura period. This Ito Chunawa was himself a very powerful master of Shugendo. It is famous, and there are still remains of Chinichi Taifu’s house on the way to the south of Iinawa Mountain.

Yoshitoshi Kira listened to it for a while and was still confused. He didn't understand what was going on until he saw the portrait of Iinawa authority collected by Masatora Uesugi. The so-called Japanese gods, especially the gods called Quangen, are usually created by The images of several gods and Buddhas are merged, among which the power of rice rope is more complicated. It can be said that on the basis of the local Fudo Mingwang, the mounts of Garuda Luotian (crow tengu) and Tuzhiniten are added. (fox), Uga God and other images (wrapped around a snake), this is clearly shown in its portraits.

A Garuda Raten who is holding a sword and silk rope like Fudo Myoko rides on the back of a fox, with snakes wrapped around the fox's limbs.The power of rice rope will now be determined according to the situation.Transform into Malizhitian, Shengjun Jizo, Three Treasures, and more.Among its various supernatural powers, especially in terms of victory, it has demonstrated great mana, so it has become popular in this era.

What the young Torachiyo most urgently need is peace and stability. Restoring the order of Echigo and maintaining the political status of the Nagao family in Fuchu. Supporting only one-third of the original difficult victory, as long as he can become an invincible warrior, he can restore the glory created by his father.This is the root cause of Masatora Uesugi's belief in the power of rice rope.

In fact, Takeda Shingen had an Iinawa Hall in the Yashizaki Hall for practice. In addition, his offerings to Koyasan included a statue of Iinawa's authority and a "Book of Iinawa Laws" for practice. In addition, in Kanto, there was a monk from Junyuan in Kanto who touched Iinawa Gonren to appear in Mount Takao, so Hojo Shiyasu also protected the Yakuo Hall of Mount Takao.

However, the beliefs of the two of them are half-truths and half-false, and they would rather believe what they have or not. Back then, Uesugi Masatora's beliefs were very pious and serious. ", the practitioners of Fansheng sealed the monsters called "Fangang" or "Guanhu" in bamboo tubes, and carried them with them in a low voice to drive them to do things.It is said that Masato Hosokawa practiced this method, and he can use various "magic" in the air.It's just that his "magic" couldn't save his life, and his practice of Taoism eventually killed him.

Torachiyo did not encounter such a situation at the time. Tairen Mencha was not the favorite boy next to Hosokawa Masato. Although he encouraged the young Torachiyo to establish a devout belief, he was still struggling with the issue of obsession and sobriety. He still warned earnestly: "Even Zen has a kind of Zen disease. Sometimes you will see strange visions, and sometimes you will be possessed by something, thinking that you have obtained the true magic. In fact, those people are far from the real comprehension. It is far away, so a little carelessness in this kind of secret method will lead people to fall into the crooked ways of evil spirits, so please be cautious about the evil ways like Fan Gangshi.”[

It was precisely because of Tailian Mencha's timely notification that Tora Chiyo, who was still young at that time, did not fall into the wrong path. Under his teaching, he only focused on sitting in meditation and reciting the mantra to strengthen his firm will. The method of practice, as well as the evil spirits and crooked ways to abandon it, so that he can achieve the achievement of entering.

When it comes to this paragraph, Uesugi Masatora will inevitably boast. He attributes his sharpness, determination and invincibility to his faith, piety and firm will. Just like the precepts of Zen sect, it is necessary to abstain from sex, otherwise the power of the power of rice rope will not be effective.

Kira Yoshitoki frowned and said, "So brother, do you want to set a precept not to break in your life?".

"Yes, all contact with women must be avoided. I went to Luo in 21 years of Tianwen. After I met you in Kyoto, I traveled far away in Kinai. Once when I was visiting Yamashina to enjoy the scenery, I met a young noble woman who stopped me. On the way, I said that I wanted to chat with a nearby monastery because I admired my style. I saw her behaving frivolously, so I sternly refused. I have always adhered to the precepts that I would not violate. Among the five precepts, I have to break the other four precepts, drinking alcohol. It was also withdrawn."

Listening to Uesugi Masatora talking about what happened when he just entered Linquan Temple, he once ran into a guest in the temple, Yunyou Yamabuku, who was drinking secretly. Facing the question from the still young Torachiyo, that dirty Yunyou Yamabuku swayed the empty wine brazenly He hiccupped the bottle and said, "Drinking is actually not a serious problem. Women are the most terrifying things in the world. Does little novice understand?".

Hu Chiyo shook his head in confusion. He had a mother and a sister who didn't understand what was so scary. Yunyou Shanfu staggered over and laughed and said, "The poor monk doesn't understand even if he wants to come to the little novice. Go back to sleep? Forget it, I’ll tell you when I see your adopted son who is so persistent! The most terrifying thing about women is that they affect the minds of people outside of us. The monk's master was also very afraid when he mentioned them! It is said that each of them has a magic that melts the hearts of men."

At that time, Tiger Chiyo regarded him as a crazy monk, and forgot all these strange theories, but only vaguely remembered the words "melting the heart", so that whenever he met a woman, he would always think of it. This crop is unforgettable for a long time.Kira Yoshitoshi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this theory.Is this the Japanese Sengoku version of "Women are Tigers"?It is estimated that the crazy Shanbu monk has never touched a woman.That's why he enshrines the things passed down by his master, but accidentally left some traces on Masatora Uesugi's childhood.

Ji Liangyi didn't believe that such a small psychological shadow would cause him to change his mind, so he asked: "If it's just like this, brother shouldn't be so persistent, right?"

"Really not, there is another thing that has a great impact on me. I remember that it was after I went to Tochio Castle as the lord of Tochio Castle under the popular name of Nagao Taira Sankeigora. In the first month of the 16th year of Tianwen, I happened to be the lord of Tochio Castle. I went back to Kasugayama City to meet my elder brother Haruki. I was only 17 years old at the time, and one day when I was visiting my elder brother, I happened to meet him and his concubine, so I decided to avoid him..." Masatora Uesugi was a little unhappy when he said this.

It turned out that he had an audience with Nagao Haruki in Kasuga Mountain City, but when he came to the castle tower, he saw Nagao Haruki doing that kind of thing with the concubine. Turned out of the quilt, while reaching out to caress the fat peaks on his chest, he said frivolous words to Changwei Jinghu.

The concubine was not ashamed but proud, giggling and staring at the stunned Changwei Jinghu, twisting his body and winking at him non-stop.They also put their lips close to Nagao Qingjing's and kissed each other, and the two laughed and completely aroused Nagao Jinghu's anger.He had never seen such a shameless, self-respecting and self-loving woman, so regardless of what Nagao Qingjing said, she waved her sleeves and left angrily.

That night, Changwei Jinghu was drunk like mud, facing the cold moonlight, he thought of the monk who wandered in the mountains he met a few years ago, and the alarming words he once said resurfaced again. His frivolous words and deeds when he was doing things between men and women, but he actually did such things in front of him, his words and deeds really melted his heart.

Who would have thought that Nagao Haruki, who was not in good health, would waste a lot of the world between the beds, but as the father's eldest son, he would act in such a self-deprecating, self-deprecating, self-deprecating, self-deprecating behavior, and then look back at Nagao Haru Looking at the scene, he involuntarily put on a look of pity. On Nagao Qingjing's pale and swollen face, there was a lingering gloom.

"At that time, I felt that women are really unpredictable things! There are such lowly women who can wink at outsiders by doing that kind of thing in front of outsiders. I really can't imagine that all the women in the world will be like my brother's concubine Will a loving mother and a dignified sister behave like that? No! They definitely won’t! But if Alang and I do the same thing, will she mind doing this kind of thing? If she does the same, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to bear it mentally...Since the gods and Buddhas have established the five precepts, and women are also forbidden in the authority of the line, then I will simply ban him and not touch them!"

Uesugi Masatora picked up the rosary and gently recited the Buddha's name. His expression was solemn and serious, and he could see that he really thought so. Yoshitomo Kira understood what this brother was doing. It turned out that there were too many shadows left by his youth, plus He is also a paranoid fanatic, so he just sticks to it. [

Staring at Uesugi Masatora chanting sutras for a long time, Ji Liangyi sighed: "Brother is wrong to think so. It is a ritual of human relations between a man and a woman to have sex. If this ritual is done, there will be no offspring. Brother, see if there is a yin and yang in the world. , Animals have to mate to produce offspring, plants have to bloom beautiful and fragrant flowers, spread pollen and produce seeds, we humans are the spirits of all things, and so is the growth of all things.”

"Since the desire of human relations is only for the inheritance of the family, why is my brother still obsessed with it? I do such dirty things all day long despite the crisis of my Nagao family's family business. There is no one around my brother." A decent woman who doesn't know self-respect and self-love and doesn't understand that as a woman of the samurai family, she should always be admonished, but she makes a disgusted expression at me, I have never seen such a lowly woman! Hmph!" The anger in Uesugi Masatora's chest finally came to an end. To express it, he has never told anyone what is in his heart for so many years. It is not because his heart is closed, it is really inconvenient to say these words, those who are qualified to listen cannot speak, and those who can listen are not qualified to listen to him.

If it wasn't for Kira Yoshitoshi, because he possesses the same military strategy as himself, his political vision and resourcefulness are far beyond his imagination, and he is also the complicated relationship between the sister-in-law, the best friend, the lord and the subordinates, he would never break his heart It's like pouring out all these thoughts that have been sealed for many years.

Kira Yoshishi understood his thoughts, but he had to continue to persuade him when things came to an end.He said patiently: "It is not advisable to be obsessed with intercourse and give up the obligation of being a house governor. But you can't think biasedly that this is such a disgusting behavior between men and women. If Qingyanyuan and elder sister know that you think so, they will be sad."

"That's why I never mentioned it in front of my mother and sister. After all, I am no longer the Torachiyo I was back then, and I don't want them to worry about this anymore..." Masatora Uesugi turned his face to him and said, "Today I'm just talking about family matters. I will ask you to be more generous and call you righteous! I hope you don't tell anyone these words. I will try my best to deal with Alang's matter. I originally liked her to be paired with Chaoxin, but Chaoxin has a marriage relationship. I can do it."

Knowing that his uncle had already said so much, if he insisted on a strong match, he would not be able to write well.Just thinking of Hu Ji's sigh and A Lang's leaving figure, Ji Liangyishi decided to persuade him one last time, and tried to persuade him: "Didn't my brother think of leaving a son and a half daughter to inherit the family line? I think there is a way to prevent it from coming. An elder brother can still have a child if he breaks the precept.”

Masatora Uesugi's expression changed when he heard that, thinking that he was trying to persuade himself to use the "magic" method similar to Masato Hosokawa's, and persuaded him earnestly: "I have never heard of the method of getting offspring if you are not close to a woman. The method must be related to the way of evil and evil, and Yishi is now a famous family in the shogunate, so you must not get involved in such crooked ways!"

"Uh... how could I touch those evil methods, but only this method." Kira Yoshina shrugged his shoulders to express his innocence.

"Regardless of whether this method is true or false, I will not try it. There is no need to repeat this matter." Uesugi Masatora closed his eyes and recited Buddhist scriptures.When Ji Liangyi was persuading me for a while, he was still making fun of himself. He was about to get up and leave, but he stopped him and said: "The teacher who taught me has already passed away. The nine masters of Chexiuzong who gave me the title of the Dharma have also passed away. Now that I have lost my worries, I am determined to go to Mount Koya on another day and concentrate on seeking the blessing of Bishamonten, bless me Echigo, and bless the Kamiso Ashikaga family invincible and long-lasting martial arts!"

"Bishamonten, is brother going to convert to the Shingon sect?".Kira Yoshishi frowned deeply, and immediately said with a smile: "I understand, let Yu send a letter to the King of Kings in Kyoto to invite eminent monks to teach the Dharma for my brother, and then invite a few statues from Kongofeng Temple in Koyasan. Bishamonten! It is not appropriate for my brother to leave for Kyoto in the face of an emergency right now, and Miyoshi Changqing will certainly not allow my brother to cross the border safely."

Masatora Uesugi didn't expect his attitude, and asked in surprise, "It's time for Jingpei, the leader, to work hard on government affairs to appease the people of the country. Why are there new moves this year?"

"To appease the people of the country and diligently cultivate internal affairs, war can start at the same time. The troubled times are not over yet, and we can't live in peace for a while." Yoshihiro Kira stood up and walked to the balcony and opened the paper door. The cold wind slipped in through the crack of the door , looking at the desolate and snow-white winter scenery below the city, said lightly: "Some things have to be done sooner or later. It's time for my brother to take care of the Guandong leader. The Uesugi family's family business in Kanto needs to be taken back by my brother." .”

At the end of the winter of this year, Sheng Ji’s letter paper was sent to Kasuga Mountain City. The familiar handwriting was like cheerful notes representing the joy in the heart of the letter paper owner. In the letter, she happily told Ji Liangyi that she would be upgraded soon. Becoming an uncle, it was still the first month of the first month when she wrote the letter, and the little life in her belly was almost seven months old. She also congratulated Yoshiki Kira on the birth of a son, and said happily that she was also an aunt.

In the letterhead that came with him was a handwritten letter written by the former heir of the Imperial Guard. He wrote in a straight regular script, resembling a royal style and ingenious. The cultural people admired it very much. Although I have gained a lot from practicing calligraphy diligently, it is not as good as those public officials who splash ink all day long.

Konoe's predecessor talked about major events in the court in his letter, and there was a case in which he advised Ashikaga Yoshiki to refrain from haste and use patience, saying that the revival of the shogunate is now the time to continue to prestige and benevolent to the big names of the countries, such as the Miyoshi repair doctor and so on. The generation of heroes can allow him to take charge of the leadership, and recruit high-ranking officials in Kyoto to promise him a generous salary to win people's hearts.

His Royal Highness Gongfang favored him, and it would be a great thing if Miyoshi repaired the doctor to join Luo Fenggong. If he refused to join Luo Fenggong with ulterior motives, he would lose the excuse to control the capital. Next time, he will plan to make Shangluo control the capital. , I'm afraid I have to re-plan and wait for the opportunity, which can give the shogunate a few more years of respite.

But Ashikaga Yoshiki was very disapproving of Konoe's predecessor's view. He felt that this view was too weak and unrealistic, and bluntly said that eight thousand tigers under his command guarded Jingluo.There are tens of thousands of troops from Omi at any time.If Miyoshi repairs the tens of thousands of troops, it will be the case.If you dare to come to keep him and let him go back and forth, it seems that the merits of Kira Yoshitoshi are attributed to him in his words, and it becomes the reason why he is wise and powerful.

Konoe’s former heir’s persuasion not only failed, but was persuaded by Ashikaga Yoshiki, telling him that Miyoshi’s repair doctor has been defeated twice by the shogunate, and he has already been frightened. Look carefully at the Miyoshi family who still dare not go to Luo after defeating the Hatakeyama family. Knowing that Dr. Miyoshi's fear of the shogunate has been deeply rooted in his bones, how powerful the shogunate is now.Just stick to the mountain city.

Konoe was very disappointed with the statement of the shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshiki, and lamented that the shogunate was in the ascendant but fell into complacency. It is said that he once compared himself to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the Nijo Imperial Palace, and served as a servant of the public during the most powerful period of the shogunate. There are only more than [-] people, and now there are more than [-] people in the Fenggong army directly under the Nijo Imperial Palace, and I am not too far away from the goal of Luyuanyuan. Hearing this news made Konoe's predecessors further pessimistic about the shogunate manner.

Yoshishi Kira smiled lightly, and mocked in a low voice: "Oh? Half of the 36 tigers are samurai living in Kyoto, and half are members of the [-] families of the Yamashiro Kingdom. Are these people used to resist Sanzhu's elite troops? His Royal Highness really has lofty aspirations. Compared with it, Yu worked hard in Kawanaka Island for several months to defeat the Takeda Army, but it is far worse. Fortunately, His Royal Highness did not set up a great ambition to conquer the Settsu Kingdom by attacking the mountain city. Otherwise, I will really feel ashamed."

He still remembers the blow of General Qiangqing in his heart. He can feel the pain on his forehead occasionally when he recalls it for so many years. The pride in his heart was shattered by the vase of the Nijo Imperial Palace for the first time, his oath, his support, and his loyalty were so cheap at that moment, and the general's fickleness and ungratefulness were exposed at this moment.

It was also thanks to the smash that woke him up. If before that he was still struggling with whether to be a loyal minister or a monarch, then since then there has been no hesitation. Qing, he doesn't owe the shogunate or Ashikaga Yoshiki anything, respectfully presenting gold, silver and copper coins every year is just to buy a good reputation, as for getting close to the shogunate, there is no need, otherwise how could he have not been back to Kyoto once in six years Woolen cloth?

The lamentation of Konoe's former heir is really regrettable. A clear-headed and high-minded minister of Guan Bai Zuo met a shogunate official with great ambitions and high ambitions. The two happened to be righteous brothers of two generations of in-laws. However, Yoshiki Ashikaga didn't understand that Konoe's former son wanted to do something for the shogunate. He always thought that the public minister didn't know how to plan, but how could he know that he was smarter than others?

"But this is just right! Doesn't His Royal Highness do this to avoid my hesitation? The Miyoshi family's choice to attack the Hanoi Hatakeyama family may have been premeditated. Taking down Hanoi can eliminate a powerful enemy in Kinai, and it can also As a military drill before going to Luo, such an obvious signal can be ignored by His Royal Highness the Shogunate, so why should Yu say that? It’s worth not mentioning it!”

Yoshitoki Kira had planned for a long time and then issued an order to Omi Sakamoto, ordering Nakajo Tokihide and other generals to step up the preparation and training of the army, which will come in handy soon. The operation of Xinjun will be as stable as a rock within two to three years, and it must not be exploited by the Liujiao family or other big names.

Behind this decree is the secret decree passed on to the Chief of Hattori through the Ninja Army, and then handed over to Tohide Nakajo. To make a corresponding judgment, there is no rigid requirement for this, only one must keep the main force of Omi from being severely damaged.

Since Kira Yoshitoshi's appearance caused Miyoshi Changqing to suffer the dark loss of underestimating the enemy twice in a row, this Miyoshi repair doctor endured for six years and insisted on not touching this piece of fat in Kyoto again. He would rather be ridiculed by the world than persevere Fa, this mentality can be called the best in the world. He spent six years in the world to re-establish the military service account, established the law of dividing the country, and initially integrated the Miyoshi family into a Sengoku daimyo. An elite teacher, when he shows his sharp fangs again, the curtain of war in Jinei will slowly open again. (to be continued...)

ps: Some anecdotes about jj have such a saying, let's take it for granted.
