"Great, the two families have finally realized their righteousness, and they were able to shake hands and make peace. *乐*read*小*said. 3x. It’s so rare! When I return to Kyoto, I will definitely report the righteousness of the two families to the emperor and the general. "After the Luo family and the Mori family finally reached an agreement and agreement, as the mediation representative of the emperor and the shogunate, Jing Takayoshi immediately said happily to the negotiating envoys of the two families.

Soon after, Jing Gaoji took the generous gifts from the Luo family and the Mori family happily and set off for Kyoto on the Luo family's merchant ship.For Jing Gaoji, his task has been successfully completed this time, and he has also gained a lot of benefits from it. At least his family will not have to worry about money and food for a long time in the future.

At the same time, the Luo family and the Maori family also stopped the war with each other according to the peace agreement, and began to quickly implement the content of the peace agreement between the two parties.After ensuring the stability of the border, Zheng Liang also began to draw more troops from the various units on the border of Anyi Country to extinguish the riots in the territory of the Luo family in the Western Country.

This time, the emperor and the shogunate intervened purely as outsiders in the struggle involving the interests of the four parties, and in the end they did indeed lead to a peace agreement among all parties.Although on the surface they only facilitated the peace talks between the Luo family and the Mori family, in fact, secretly, they also sent people to put pressure on the Honganji Temple in Ishiyama Gobo, Osaka.And Honganji Temple, who had just inherited the position of the Lord of Law, also needs to establish a good relationship with the emperor and the shogunate, not to mention that with the continuous damage of the core personnel he sent to the territory of the Luo family in the Western Kingdom, in fact, this time the attack on the Luo family It is also difficult for the riots to form a larger-scale movement, so at the request of the emperor and the shogunate.Honganji Xianru also simply agreed to their request.The personnel dispatched to Seiguni Shubo, Aki, Bingo, etc. were gathered and returned to Osaka.

certainly.Although Honganji seems to have agreed to the request of the emperor and the shogunate on the surface, secretly the newly appointed head of Honganji has no good impression of the Luo family.However, even if Zhengliang knew Honganji Xianru's hostile tendencies towards the Luo family, he would not be surprised.Anyway, during the purge campaign against Yixiangzong in the original state area, Zheng Liang became the sworn enemy of Yixiangzong in the eyes of everyone.Now, naturally, he will not be afraid of the hostility from the new Dharma Master Xiangru from Honganji Temple.

In short, the intervention of the emperor and the shogunate has once again enhanced their prestige among the heroes, as for Yixiangzong.Although the riot against the Luo family seems to have come to an end, the riots in the Luo family's Western territory are still going on.For Yixiangzong, even if the riot ultimately fails, as long as the riot lasts for one day, it is a day to continue to promote the influence of Yixiangzong.So for them, this compromise is actually not a failure.What's more, Yixiangzong took advantage of this opportunity to force the Maori family to board their pirate ship, which enabled Yixiangzong to gain more rights in the Maori family's territory, and at the same time expanded the influence of Xiangzong in the local area force.

In this way.It seems that the Maori family suffered the most losses this time.It's just that although Yi Xiangzong took a lot of benefits.They were also forced to give up some benefits to the Luo family, but the Mori family finally achieved their goal of negotiating peace with the most powerful enemy, the Luo family, so that the Mori family could spare more energy to deal with the Nizi family and others at this tense moment. aggression by hostile forces.

As for the Luo family, although they missed the opportunity to unite with many forces to destroy the Maori family, the prestige of the Luo family among the heroes was once again enhanced from this peace negotiation.More importantly, through the pacification of this riot, the Luo family was able to uproot the temples, shrines and other forces in the territory of the former Ouchi family in the Xiguo area.In this way, together with the previous state area, the Luo family has obtained a territory completely under their control.These areas will inevitably become the most stable foundation for the future expansion of the Luo family.

With the confirmation of the peace agreement, the time soon came to the beginning of the month.During this period of time, Zhengliang drew out a large number of troops to quell the territorial riots in the Xiguo area. With the burning of important temples such as Benzheng Temple, Shenghuan Temple, and Shanggong Temple, finally at the beginning of the third year of Hongzhi (1557) At this time, the riots that broke out in the Luo family's West Country territory were finally completely quelled.During this riot, which lasted for several months, the Luo family slaughtered tens of thousands of monks, soldiers and mobs, and captured more than [-] believers (these people were reduced to slaves and distributed to the state to participate in the riots) forced labor), and burned down thousands of temples and shrines.This is the battle with the largest massacre of the population since the rise of the Luo family, and it is almost the same as the number of believers of the Ichizo sect massacred by Oda Nobunaga in history.Zhengliang has also completely become the biggest enemy of Buddhism in the eyes of everyone in Xiangzong.

After the riot finally ended, the Luo family was able to carry out the autumn harvest in a stable manner.Of course, due to the riots that lasted for several months before, almost all the territory of the Luo family in the West Country suffered damage to varying degrees, and this time the autumn harvest is bound to fail.Fortunately, due to Zheng Liang's precautions from the very beginning, the Luo family managed to minimize the damage this time.In the next long period of time, these territories of the Luo family in the West Country will enter a stage of recovery.

Just when the autumn harvest officially entered and every family was busy harvesting food, thereby reducing conflicts, a piece of shocking news came from Kyoto.That is the death of Emperor Nara, who was bedridden.

What is even more surprising is that at the sensitive moment of the death of Emperor Go Nara, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki, who had previously raised a lot of prestige among the heroes by promoting the peace talks between the Luo family and the Maori family, actually had a relationship with the Miyoshi family governor Miyoshi. Because of Qing's contradictions, he was secluded in Omi Kuchiki Valley.As a result, the prestige of the shogunate, which had been so easily raised before, was discredited because of this incident.

But now that the emperor had passed away, the shogun who was supposed to help handle the matter was living in seclusion, and even Harumoto Hosokawa, the formerly imposing leader, fled to the Wakasa area because of successive defeats by the Miyoshi family.Under such circumstances, the impoverished imperial palace had no money and food to carry out the funeral for the dead Emperor Nara.

In fact, in history, after the body of Emperor Go Nara was placed in the Kuroto Imperial Palace for two and a half months, Miyoshi Changqing, the lord of Settsu Akutagawa who was stationed in Kyoto again at that time, collected a hundred kandos in Luo (quite property tax in later generations) as funeral expenses.But this time, Emperor Nara finally didn't have to be so miserable.Because after hearing the news from a Shenglong in Kyoto, Masara immediately ordered some money and food to be donated to the imperial palace to hold a fairly well-timed funeral for Emperor Nara.

However, after the funeral of Emperor Go Nara was completed, Emperor Masakimachi, who was elected by everyone to succeed the new emperor, encountered problems again.This problem is also due to insufficient money and food, which prevented Emperor Shochincho from holding the enthronement ceremony.

The financial distress of the royal family at this time really embarrassed the authority.In history, Emperor Masahin-machi waited until 1560, when Morimoto had completely digested the territory of the Ouchi family in the West Country and gradually became a new giant, and realized that he needed the support of the emperor and the shogunate in righteousness. It donated some donations, and Emperor Masakimachi reluctantly held the enthronement ceremony.

According to a piece of information sent back by Shenglong, Zhengliang recalled the situation of the new emperor. This Emperor Masakimachi was the second prince of Emperor Go Nara, and his mother was Eiko Banri Koji, the daughter of Kenfang Wanli Koji.His name was Fang Ren, and he was named Prince in 1533.In history, after inheriting the throne of the emperor, Emperor Masakimachi seemed very knowledgeable and would cooperate with some powerful daimyos, especially after Oda Nobunaga went to Beijing.The emperor assisted Oda Nobunaga in issuing many peace talks to hostile forces, including several wars against Asakura Yoshikage and Asai Nagamasa in 1570, against Ashikaga Yoshiaki in 1573, and against Ishiyama Honganji Temple in 1580. , All of these orders were issued in the name of the Emperor Masakimachi. For this reason, the Emperor was respected and trusted by Nobunaga of Oda.After the death of Oda Nobunaga, the power was gradually transferred to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the emperor also adopted an attitude of cooperation with Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Such a knowledgeable emperor will naturally be beneficial to the Luo family in the future, so after learning that the Masakimachi Emperor lacked money to hold the succession ceremony, Masarai immediately extended a helping hand again and provided him with Qian Liang helped him hold a grand succession ceremony.

Why did Zheng Liangru help each other so frequently?You must know that before the accident happened in Nanzhou, the emperor sent someone to help the Maori family negotiate a peace with the Luo family who was on the stronger side?This is obviously preventing the Luo family from annexing the Maori family?Isn't Zhengliang repaying hatred with virtue?

This is naturally not the case. After all, the last time the emperor made a decision to help the Maori family negotiate a peace, it was actually decided after discussions with those around the emperor. At that time, Emperor Nara was bedridden and unable to express his opinion. According to the information sent back by Sheng Long, the Empress Nara was completely unconscious at that time.Therefore, the real murderer who did not want the Luo family to annex the Mori family at that time was not Emperor Go Nara himself.As for the newly succeeded Emperor Masakimachi, he didn't even know about it.

Moreover, as the so-called icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal, Zheng Liang provided timely assistance at the funeral of the previous emperor and when the new emperor was short of money. This naturally won the emperor's great favor. Afterwards, the Luo family was immediately rewarded. (To be continued..)
