73. Night exploration of Heiankyo

Although these three art of war were comparable to small nuclear bombs in ancient times, they had a very obvious problem. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

That's the wrong time!

Among the three art of war, the thirty-six strategies appeared at the wrong time!

"Liutao Art of War", also known as "Taigong Liutao" and "Taigong Art of War", is the art of war part of the famous Huang Lao Taoist classic "Taigong" in the pre-Qin period of ancient China.

The earliest explicit inclusion of this book was The Book of Sui? Chronicles of the Classics", entitled "Written by Jiang Wangshi, King Wen of Zhou". Jiang Wang is Jiang Taigong Lu Wang.

But since the Song Dynasty, there have been people who have questioned this. From the analysis of the content of this book, the style of writing and the cultural relics unearthed in recent years, it can be roughly concluded that "Liutao" is a classic book of Huang Lao Taoism during the Warring States Period.

"The Art of War", also known as "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "The Book of War", "The Book of Soldiers", "The Book of the Soldiers", etc., is the earliest existing military book in China, and it is also the earliest military work in the world, and is known as the "holy book of military science".

The author is Sun Wu, a general of Wu who was originally from Le'an in Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period.

These two books were written earlier, and there is nothing wrong with them, but the thirty-six strategies are different.

"Thirty-six Strategies" or "Thirty-six Strategies" refers to the 36 strategies of the art of war in ancient China, which originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and was written in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Written in the Ming and Qing Dynasties!!

But now that the Tang Dynasty has just been founded, where did the thirty-six plans come from?

…………………………

After the nine-tailed fox left Abe Harumi, it has been flying in the direction of Heiankyo.

At this time, after seeing her son, she had to find someone.

Go to the man and get back to him.

Although Abe Qingming calls this nine-tailed demon fox mother, if this nine-tailed demon fox does not point it out to Abe Qingming.

Maybe Abe Harumi will never know in this life that her mother is actually controlled by others!

No! In fact, it is not subject to 'people'.

When dawn came, I dreamed that my demon fox had finally arrived at the periphery of Heiankyo.

Coming to the vicinity of the city gate outside Heianjing, the nine-tailed demon fox quickly stopped flying, landed on the ground, and turned into a human.

It's just that...... The appearance of this human is a little different from the appearance of his own mother that Abe Harumi saw before.

The human beings that the nine-tailed demon fox turned into before were beautiful and moving.

And now this human being is like a village girl!

A village girl with a dirty turban on her head and a huge burden behind her.

Its appearance is thousands of miles different from before!

When the nine-tailed demon fox walked to the gate of the Ping'an capital, the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city did not stop the nine-tailed demon fox.

On the contrary, they were also very familiar with greeting the nine-tailed demon fox.

"Mrs. Tamako has come to the city to buy vegetables so early."

The nine-tailed demon fox responded.

"Yes, I don't have very good hands and feet, so I have to go into the city a little earlier to prepare."

It seems that the nine-tailed demon fox disguised himself as a grocery buyer who often went into the city at dawn to do business, and was also very familiar with the soldiers guarding the city.

After entering the city, the nine-tailed demon fox did not directly go to someone to restore his life.

Instead, he went straight to a dilapidated log cabin in Heiankyo and renovated it.

In the cabin, there was only a long table, a stool, a pair of dishes and chopsticks, a basin for washing, a sheet for sleeping, and nothing else!

She spread out the bag on the long table, revealing a dozen handfuls of wild vegetables wrapped in the bag.

If you look at it from the perspective of ordinary people, it is just wild vegetables.

But if you look at it from the perspective of a monster, those dozen or so wild vegetables are actually a kind of medicinal herb that can temporarily cover up the demonic energy on the monster!

With these dozen handfuls of wild vegetables, the demonic energy of the nine-tailed demon fox will never leak out.

Her demonic aura will be replaced by the scent of wild plants!

It seems that the 'play' of the nine-tailed demon fox is very good!

If he didn't guess wrong, the nine-tailed demon fox directly regarded this small cabin as a place to stay, an indecipherable disguise.

Pretend that you are really just human!

And in addition, the person who is controlled by the nine-tailed demon fox should also live near this Heianjing.

And that person should still have some kind of means in his hand that can command the nine-tailed demon fox!

It can either threaten the nine-tailed demon fox, or it can directly command the authority of the nine-tailed demon fox.

Otherwise, the nine-tailed demon fox could directly use that medicinal herb to erase his demonic energy and escape from that person's control.

Why live in Heiankyo, which is full of onmyoji?

When the nine-tailed demon fox put down the dozen handfuls of wild vegetables and was about to pour himself a glass of water to quench his thirst.

Outside the house, there were suddenly several strange noises.

'Someone! Was it discovered? No, it's two different demonic aura! One is majestic, one is like a flame that can burn everything. There is also a very eerie and cold atmosphere! ’

The nine-tailed demon fox secretly screamed in his heart, and then immediately walked lightly to the wall of the wooden house, lay down in front of the gap in the wall, and observed.

As I said before, this is a very dilapidated wooden house, and it is normal for the nine-tailed demon fox to lie on the crack of the wall to observe.

But as soon as he took a look, the nine-tailed demon fox was instantly frightened!

'How could this fake Yakumo Murasaki appear in Heiankyo?! Did she find me? Or did she have a reason why she had to come to Heiankyo? Doesn't she know that Heiankyo is full of onmyoji? ’

…………

That's right, the one that appeared near the nine-tailed demon fox's house was Yakumo Temple!!

And not only Yakumo Temple, there are two people behind Yakumo Temple.

One doesn't need to say much to know, Yakumo Sada.

Since she was signed by Yakumo Temple, she has directly become the binding equipment of Yakumo Temple.

The other is the Phoenix Fire.

Have you grown up again and become real? The phoenix fire of the royal sister.

But to be honest, Yakumoji didn't want to come to Heiankyo.

He just wanted to wait quietly in the gap until dawn the next day, and go to play with Yuyuko. Talk while playing!

Although Yuyuko is just a young lady who is locked in her home at this time, there are really too many mysteries about Yuyuko.

If he doesn't figure out the mystery on Yuyuko, Yakumo Temple won't be solid at all, and he doesn't want Yuyuko to have an accident.

And the reason why Yakumoji came back to Heiankyo has to start here.

Since you're going to find Yuyuko tomorrow, why don't you bring something Yuyuko likes and please her?

What does Yuyuko like? Naturally, it's just food!

But who knows, Yakumo Temple has just opened the gap, and he just wants to get some ingredients...... Phoenix Huo directly grabbed his arm and asked Yakumoji to take her to Heianjing.

…… Obviously, Yakumoji still underestimated Phoenix Fire's dependence on Fujiwara Meihong.

It was simply explained that Fujiwara Meihong was not in Heiankyo and did not work, and only a few days later, the phoenix fire was entangled in Yakumoji Temple again.

For Phoenix Fire's request, Yayun Temple naturally refused sternly.

But...... Yakumoji not only underestimated Phoenix Fire's dependence on Fujiwara Meihong, but also underestimated Phoenix Fire's temper.

Although Phoenix Fire has the body of a royal sister, it ...... She's a child at heart!

Children lose their temper and refuse to agree to their requests, regardless of why you are refusing to do so.

One crying, two troubles, three hangings!

This is their winning formula against adults, and even in modern times, many children use this method to achieve their goals.

Phoenix Fire was well aware of the subtleties of this way, and lay directly on the ground, shaking and kicking around, shouting and shouting!

At first, Yakumoji ignored her, and walked directly out of the gap to the sea, ready to catch a bluefin tuna as a gift for Yuyuko.

In fact, Yakumo Temple originally wanted to catch the sea monster, but helplessly, the sea monster became extinct during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Yakumo Temple can't catch it now.

And when Yakumo Temple grabbed the tuna and returned to the gap, the phoenix fire was still making trouble!

In the end, out of desperation, Yakumoji had no choice but to take it to Heiankyo.

The 8th-century capital of Japan, Heijokyo, and the late 8th and 9th centuries later, Heian-kyo, the capital of Japan, imitated the capitals of the Tang Dynasty in China, Chang'an and Luoyang, and the imitation of Chang'an Castle was more significant.

In terms of overall planning and layout, it is modeled on the east-west symmetrical layout of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and the modulus size of Fang City is similar to that of Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. The central axis of Suzaku Avenue is divided into two parts, Zuojing and Youjing (Zuojing on the east side and Youjing on the west side), according to the Suzaku Street in Chang'an, Heiankyo is called Zuojing and Youjing (the west side is Ukyo).

Located in the center of the northern part of the capital, the palace of Heiankyo is equivalent to the combination of the palace city and the imperial city of Chang'an Castle in the Tang Dynasty, while the inner wrap and the main hall of the palace are equivalent to the palace city (Taiji Palace) and Taiji Hall in Chang'an. Outside of the Imperial Castle was the capital city, where ordinary officials and commoners lived. The city covers an area of about 20 square kilometers, and the streets are vertical and horizontal, symmetrically intersecting.

In Heiankyo, Suzaku Avenue connects the Ouchiri Suzaku Gate and the Rajo Gate, the main roads such as Higashizuki Omiya, Nishi Toin, Higashi Tonin Temple, and Tokyogoku, and the main roads of Nishishu Shidainomiya, Dozu, Kitsuji, and Nishikyogoku, which run east-west to one, Tsuchigomon, Nakagomon, and Nijo to Kujo, and intersect vertically with Suzaku Street.

But it's just such a Heianjing...... Yakumoji and the others are completely lost! I don't know where to go!

It is not wrong to imitate Chang'an, and it is also true that Bayun Temple has also been in Chang'an.

Can...... Who imitated Chang'an, only imitated half of it, and buried traps in it!

On the left side of Heiankyo, it is resplendent and can be regarded as a wealthy area of Heiankyo, and on the right, it is plain and even a little dilapidated, and it is considered a slum area of Heiankyo.

There is a significant difference between the left and right sides, so it stands to reason that it is ...... Yakumoji and the others would not have gotten lost.

What Yakumoji and the others are looking for is Fujiwara Meihong's main family, the Fujiwara family.

The Fujiwara family is known to everyone in Japan!

In the eighth year of the Tenchi Dynasty (669), Nakatomi Kamazu died, and Emperor Tenchi gave the surname Fujiwara courtiers for his participation in the Taika reform, which was the beginning of his surname.

Later, Emperor Bunmu issued an edict that only his son was allowed to have the same surname Fujiwara. After the Renshen Rebellion, Bubi participated in the drafting of the law and decree, built Heijojing, and created a political foundation.

His daughter Mitsuko was established as the queen, and the Fujiwara clan was established. (Well, my sister is the queen.) )

There are four sons of Bubi: Takechi Maro (South Family), Fangqian (North Family), Uhe (Shikijia Family), and Maro (Jing Family), which are the four families with strong political power under the Ritsu system.

After that, the three families lost power in the struggle for power, and only the northern family remained prosperous. When he arrived at Fujiwara Ryobo, he served as a regent for a foreign relative, and he controlled the government for a long time in the name of regent or Sekihaku, which was called regency politics, which was the heyday of the Northern family, and established the tradition that the regent Sekihaku was appointed by the descendants of the Northern family.

After the governor came to power, the Fujiwara clan reached its peak of autocracy. During this period, Fujiwara's relatives interfered in politics and did whatever they wanted, and the two queens stood side by side, with four daughters and three concubines. The concubine of the East Palace, the young emperor lived in his home.

The positions of regent, Sekihaku, Taisei minister, and left and right ministers were dominated by the Fujiwara clan, forming a special system of regency politics. At the end of the Heian period, the Hokuke family (known as the Seki family) was divided into three families: Konoe, Shoden, and Kujo.

In the first year of Kanji (1087), the administration of the court began, and the real power was transferred to the government of the court, and the power of the Fujiwara clan declined slightly, and the formal regent position was still held by the Fujiwara family.

The Taira clan rose up, the samurai came to power, and the Fujiwara clan's regency political system existed in name only. In the Kamakura period, the Konoe family was divided into the Takaji family, and the Kujo family was divided into the Nijo family and the Ichijo family, and the Konoe family, the Takaji, Kujo, Nijo, and Ichijo were called the Goseki family, and they alternated as regents until the end of the Edo period, but the regents had nothing to do with the government.

After the Meiji Restoration, the Five Families were the first of the Chinese to receive the title of duke.

The Fujiwara clan has been active in politics for nearly a thousand years!!

1000 years! What a concept!

In a thousand years, there are hundreds of years in the 'regency'!

This is equivalent to a little emperor under the emperor!

Especially when the strength of the Fujiwara family reached the extreme, the emperor was even crushed by the Fujiwara family!

Such a rebellious Fujiwara family, even in the beginning, it was awesome and shining!

Even if they are very low-key, they probably won't live in this slum, right?

In that case, let's go out of the slums and find it.

But for some reason, Yakumo Temple and others just can't get out of the slums!

This slum is like a labyrinth, and no matter how the people of Yakumoji Temple look for it, they can't find a way out of the slum.

If you are tired of walking, you can't sit on the ground or rest against the wall.

As soon as you rest, you blink.

The next moment, what appears to you will be the exact opposite of what you have just seen!

It's possible that just what you see is a road, and the next moment you are in front of you is a latrine!

Only next to this dilapidated log cabin does not change their gaze in the blink of an eye.

But...... As soon as you leave the cabin, it won't work, and once you leave, what you just experienced will be repeated!

Play with the balls!

Of course, if you fly directly into the sky, this will not happen......

But, in Heiankyo, how dare you fly around!!

The onmyoji who live in Heiankyo also have a contract to be able to fly!

Heiankyo has air traffic control!!

As soon as you fly into the sky, they will give you a charm to put you shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
