"The owner of the Ishitsukan in Oshima-gun, is it Kita-Juheiji? I heard that it was...... During the period when you were in power as a former acting official, you owed a total of 137 and 600 yuan in arrears of 'military service exemption tax', did something happen to you that you couldn't pay the money? ”

"Hino-gun, Hatanakakan, the main god of the museum, the number of registered military service is only seventy, and the number of people with knives is one hundred and five, but someone reported that you bought one hundred and fifty spears five months ago, I don't know what the reason is, can you explain?"

"Takai Moritoyo, the owner of the Kumatorikan in Sennan County, it is said that when the Tsuchihashi family of Kii led the army to cause trouble, you were in charge of raising military rations for them? That's a terrible accusation, I don't think you're so confused, right? ”

……

In the hall of Ninomaru in Kishiwada Castle, more than 100 people from the country and representatives of the temple shrine in Izumi knelt on the ground, silent like a cicada.

In particular, Fukukuji Temple and Otori Shrine, when they took the lead in the rebellion, they invited the Tsuchihashi family who came to Kii Saga as reinforcements, and drove the acting officials of the shogunate back (although they were later followed by Sakuma Nobumori Yellow Bird), and they thought that there was no merit here in Hite.

What is the atmosphere of this post-autumn reckoning?

It seems that the tie is to hold the responsibility of the "Izumi Riot" on all the countrymen and temples, and as long as they find the slightest truth, they will be severely punished and punished.

However, this is also the normal style of this era, and I can't find fault with it at all.

Frightened, the timid man almost peed his pants in the hall.

But even if I almost peed my pants, I didn't dare not come.

Sakuma Nobumori is in the two counties of Kurita and Koga, and he has done a lot more than that, and he casually weaves charges to ruin the local indigenous families, which is simply scraping the ground. The rest of Shibata, Takigawa and others heard that they had done similar things.

That's still in Omi, where the folk style is fierce, not the weak Izumi!

Who called the Oda family to gain power? How can a snake have the power to resist?

Pingshou Fanxiu slowly finished reading the document that recorded the "crimes" of the Hao monks, sighed, his face was solemn, and he closed his eyes and said sadly: "In the past, I always felt that although everyone had differences, there was no irreconcilable conflict after all, as long as the agreement was made in advance that could be recognized by each other, it would be enough to work together and protect the territory and the people." But now it seems that I thought it was too simple, whether it is 'exempt from military tax', 'knife-like' or 'temple and community joint autonomy', there are hidden dangers. There is such a big riot in Hequan, I am duty-bound, and all kinds of policies in the future must still be clear and canonical, and cannot be ignored. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was gloomy.

According to his heart, Hirate Honhide is indeed one of the most "soft-hearted" of the Oda family's several important ministers, and the only one who can compare with him is Niwa Nagahide.

Seeing that because of the crimes of the "few people," the "benevolent government" is coming to an end, and the "strike hard" campaign is about to come out, will not the innocent people who abide by discipline and law feel bitter?

Whether it's true that only a few people commit crimes, no one can really say clearly. But human nature is to feel innocent.

In short, more than a hundred people bowed their heads and bowed their bodies, expressing a serious attitude of reflection, and no one dared to make the slightest sound—except for a few special statuses.

There are a few people in the country, after the guardian has been replaced, still firmly following the tie Tsusho Tsuki, preferring to leave the territory alone, but also bring their own dry food, as a "ronin" to participate in the tie army.

It's not pretty, but it's sure to win a prize.

For example, Dr. Yasuda Terada is one of them.

At this moment, he stood up and said, "Master Ping, you are too yourself!" In my opinion, 'exemption from military tax', 'sword-like', and 'joint autonomy of temples and shrines' are the most suitable for the good governance of Ichizumi Ichikoku, and it is purely because the two officials of the shogunate faction do not understand the fart and are messing around, plus a few restless local snakes fishing in troubled waters, which makes people panic and riots......"

He has always been regarded as a "traitor seeking glory", and he is also very rude in his speech, and his popularity is extremely poor.

But at the moment, these words made everyone feel the same way.

That's a second! The master of the equal hand is undoubtedly great, glorious, and right. Whoever dares to doubt will smash his dog's head.

We eat melons and the masses resolutely support his old man, although his ability is insufficient, his attitude is always good.

So what's the problem? It must be someone else!

The two acting officials from the shogunate had fallen and could not defend themselves, so it was fitting to throw them on them.

And then the people of Fukuji Temple and Otori Shrine, anyway, they can't get out of it if they take the lead in rebellion, so please carry the pot well, and don't bother everyone!

Therefore, when Dr. Terada said this, although the people kneeling down below did not dare to respond, they all looked at the stage with their eyes blank and prayed for mercy from the "master of the equal hand".

In this regard, Fan Xiu stroked his beard, frowned and said unhappily: "Doctor An, you guy, flattery should also have some limits!" Now that the riots have occurred, it shows that the original approach was somewhat problematic, and how can the entire responsibility be shifted to the previous one? ”

These words made the eyes of those who have a heart shine.

Although the tone was displeased, the meaning was somewhat loosened, and it seemed that his old man was also angry for a while, and he had not completely made up his mind.

As a result, Numuma Renshiri, who was regarded as the big brother of the Izumi wealthy clan, cautiously raised his head and said in fear: "Foreign ministers, I also ask Lord Chumu to give us ignorant people a chance, and we will definitely show our determination to change our ways......

"The Swamp Temple? It doesn't have to be so polite. Hite's attitude towards him is much more polite than that of Terada, but this politeness also contains a sense of alienation, "I can still trust your character, but what about others...... I am afraid that it is not ignorance, but disloyalty! ”

When the words landed, the pure Zen master of Nafu Temple fell to the ground with a bang, and the sweat flowing from his body was already wet.

In a moment of panic, Hirata ordered Numata Yumitsu to call a medical officer, and after a brief treatment, the old monk woke up in a few moments. As soon as he opened his eyes, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed again.

Fan Xiu waved his hand and motioned for the attendants to hold him, but it was still not a good color.

Numata Yumitsu, who was in a state of brilliance, felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and generously admonished: "My lord, please forgive your minister's words!" No matter what mistakes the people of Hequan and the temple community make, they should be dealt with in accordance with the law and clearly in accordance with the law, and such a delay will inevitably damage the prestige of the lord. ”

"Hmm......" Fan Xiu nodded slightly, as if he was listening, and then immediately asked: "Then what do you say about it?" ”

"This-" Numata Yumitsu thought for a moment and replied decisively: "Your Majesty thinks that Fukutokuji Temple and Otori Shrine participated in the riot and had a bad impact, and considering that the reason is understandable, he ordered the main culprit to kill himself and confiscate the illegal gains, and the rest will not be asked." As for other violations during this period, the penalty of reducing the territory shall be imposed in accordance with the previous agreement. ”

Fan Xiu heard about it.

Numata Yumitsu's idea is self-righteous to take into account the deterrent power and the face of traditional temples, but people won't appreciate your feelings at all! Don't you know that the only death is the only one who is difficult through the ages? It is possible that the samurai clan will take the initiative to seppuku for the sake of future generations, but in shrines and temples, the inheritance of power is very unstable, and it is often inherited by apprentices and sons-in-law rather than their own sons, and there are far fewer people willing to make sacrifices.

For example, now that the Zen Master looks at Numata Yumitsu's eyes, there is not much gratitude.

At this time, Hu Zai Zongyi, who was brought in to observe, suddenly interjected: "Master Pingshou, may I ask the poor monk a word." The poor monk thought that the reason for the riots in Hequan was not because of your wrong policy, but because of your poor implementation of good governance. ”

"Is that so?" Fan Xiu pretended to be dissatisfied.

"The poor monk is not a lie." Hu Zai Zongyi hurriedly explained, "In fact, 'tax exemption' and 'joint autonomy of temples and communities' are both widely popular, but some details are not very clear, so you must have your old man personally in charge to implement it, once the acting official is replaced, it will inevitably cause problems......"

"It sounds reasonable...... "Pingshou Shuxiu gently stroked his beard, and seemed to have a tendency to be persuaded.

Hu Zai Zongyi hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "According to the humble opinion of the poor monks, we might as well carry out a thorough survey of the country of Hequan, and record all the land, personnel, and weapons of the temple and the people. As for the joint autonomy of temples and shrines...... In the future, we can continue to do it, but we must change the term regularly and accept the supervision of the guardians, so that we can respect the right to 'not lose or enter', and we will not be taken advantage of by outsiders......"

As soon as these words came out, some kneeling people couldn't help but echo:

"Exactly!"

"Worthy of a high monk!"

"Say what I'm waiting for!"

It was only after a glance at it that those who had the audacity to retract it.

Regarding the words of Tiger Zai Zongyi, Fan Xiu pretended to think about it, and replied reluctantly: "Since there is a senior monk of the Rinzai sect who said something, then I will think about it...... First, according to the method mentioned by Master Huzai, and then see the results in a few months, and the previous ordinary illegal acts will be postponed. However, the behavior of Fukutoji Temple and Otori Shrine is really bad, and they have to be punished with a small punishment. ”

"Then how about letting the two of them abdicate and live in seclusion, and then deprive Fukudoji and Otori Shrine of their candidacy rights in the temple community autonomous organization within a year?" Tiger Zai Zongyi hurriedly begged for mercy for them.

Hearing this, Pingshou Fan Xiu shook his head and dismissed unceremoniously: "It's just abdication and seclusion, I'm afraid it's not enough to convince the public, so please invite these two to come to Kishi and Tiancheng as guests for the time being." It is a matter of course to be deprived of candidacy, but one year is too short, at least three years! ”

"This ......" Tiger Zai Zongyi looked embarrassed.

But Tashiro Omiyaji was overjoyed when he heard that he could avoid death and have a chance to recover, and he was afraid that he would anger the big guy by saying more, so he climbed out of the crowd two steps, bowed to the ground, and said: "I will obey the orders of the master in the same hands, and I will definitely actively repent in the next place, and think about it in the face of the wall!" ”
