After the pacification of various places, Honhide and Yoshimitsu began to focus on the implementation of the "Laws of the Samurai", in other words, to find ways to find fault with the powerful foreign domains.

Takeda Katsuyori has been reduced due to a hand, and he is becoming more and more cautious in his words and deeds.

The infighting between Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Iehisa is the "focus of work" in Kyushu, and it does not need to be instigated. However, Shimazu Yoshihisa, who lived in seclusion in Koyasan, wrote a letter to call Iehisa over, and then he didn't know what he had done, causing the arrogant fourth brother to die suddenly.

Then in the face of the "poisoned" message, Yoshihisa claimed to be innocent and wanted to prove his innocence.

If he is really allowed to die like this, the Shimazu family may be completely integrated. However, Hirate Hatsuhide was not an easy person, and immediately ordered a ban on seppuku, and said, "It's been enough time to live in seclusion, please go back to Satsuma!" On the other hand, he sent someone to protect Jiajiu's son, and secretly told him that "Ling Zun was indeed killed by your eldest uncle" and supported him.

In this way, the dispute on the surface was temporarily eliminated, Shimazu Yoshihiro was the only one, and Shimazu Yoshihisa avoided everywhere, and the other juniors had no part to speak. But the worries for the future are getting bigger and bigger.

On the western side, after Yoshikawa Motoharu died of depression, the eldest son Motocho also fell ill, and the second son, the Hiro family, took power. The Yoshikawa Hiro family was not on good terms with Hidemoto, the son of Mori Terumoto, and actively approached the shogunate in order to protect himself, and constantly changed his tricks when he was on duty, and finally got a private promise that "when the time comes, the Yoshikawa family will make Nagato a country independent as a vassal".

It is equivalent to the reduction of the territory of the Maori family to the three kingdoms of Zhoufang, Anyi, and Bigo.

However, the premise is that the Yoshikawa Hiro family can help find evidence of the Maori family's misconduct.

In this way, the shogunate actually did not need to make too many small moves, and the contradictions within the princes were not small, so they could take advantage of the situation.

It's also interesting to note that after the death of Harura Nijo, the system that had been formed by him began to loosen, and his sons did not have enough skills to maintain it. Therefore, in the 8th year of Tensho (1583), the former Sekihaku Konoe Maehisa, who had been beaten as a rebel because he echoed the Miyoshi Sanren and conferred the position of Ashikaga Yoshiei shogun, was finally pardoned and returned to Kyoto, and his family was restored to Gose.

Only two years later, the Nijo family and the Konoe family had a conflict over Sekihaku's position, and the secretary class was divided into two camps.

At that time, the emperor was too old to serve and was unable to mediate the dispute, so he had to ask the shogunate to intervene.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Heide Heishu unobtrusively drafted an extremely simple and lenient "Laws of the Public Family and the Forbidden Middle Kingdom", realizing the indirect jurisdiction of the samurai regime over the imperial court and the imperial family, and marrying his daughter Kyoko to the imperial grandson and Prince Hito.

The specific rules can be changed slowly, and the most important thing is to stand up for the name first.

In fact, there is also the "Dharma of the Temples and Societies", but the specific implementation process has some special resistance. ……

It is said that before the death of the first Daishosho of the Heite shogunate, he said that his biggest regret was "not being able to see his grandchildren with his own eyes".

When he heard about similar topics, he only laughed at them, but when he faced his wife's last words when he was dying, he thought so, and after Yoshimitsu returned from calming the turmoil in various countries, he seriously asked if there was such a problem, and he did not shy away from it.

Yoshimitsu felt quite embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Saori has not come out, so I have to consider her mood, and I am also worried about the hidden worries of the future battle between the concubines, and I have not often been close to the side room in recent years." ”

Hearing this, Fanxiu couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed: "You are more sober and self-controlled than your father." Now that I think about it, it wouldn't be nice if Yukichiyo was a man......"

Yiguang just didn't hear it, and changed the topic and said: "In more than half a year, the yarn weaving will be twenty-five." Then I'll stay in the city all the time, and if there's still no movement, I'll have to think again. ”

Fan Xiu nodded, "It seems that I don't have much to worry about." ”

A few months later, it wasn't going well.

Yoshimitsu Hirate began to recruit the harem.

In the past, Godaisho had told the Oda clan's maiden family that he hoped to find an excellent woman from his relatives to serve Yoshimitsu, but at that time, he felt that there was no suitable age candidate, and only Aichi recommended his daughter Chacha. Now that this matter has been realized, it can be regarded as the bloodline of the Oda family has been introduced again.

When the old Tachibana Michiyuki of the Otomo clan accompanied the lord Shangluo, he brought his only daughter Chiyo with him. Yoshimitsu admired it very much, and sent Ihide to ask for marriage. Knowing that this woman was responsible for passing on the portal, he promised: "If the noble daughter is born, let her inherit the Tachibana family; If there is nothing to do, choose another shogunate to change his surname to become the heir. Tachibana Michiyuki saw that the atmosphere was so cautious that he didn't dare to shirk it.

Komatsu, the daughter of the Daimyo Honda Tadatsu of Echichu, went to Kyoto in disguise, and had a lot of fun at the venue of the big tea party and the bow horse competition, and had no intention of colliding with Chacha, it was Miss Jiao who had a conflict, and it happened that the second generation was on the side, and he personally appeared to reprimand the two. Afterwards, Honda Zhongsheng pushed the boat down the river: "This woman is stubborn, please ask Lord Nayan to discipline her, don't send it back." ”

(See you for details of the story, if I have the leisure to write it later...... ）

Spreading rain and dew so widely and swaying the rain and rain finally has some harvest, which is gratifying.

But Saori Masamuro's position became more and more embarrassing.

At this time, Honganji Xianru turned forty-one years old and had been in power for 30 years, and he felt a little tired of the worldly redundancy, and at the suggestion of his wife, Ruchunni, who was born as a noble daughter of the Sanjo family of Gongqing, he gave up the position of suzerain of the Tsuyoshi sect to the eldest son of the twenty-six-year-old sect.

Two of them, a monk and a nun, took their young children to Koshoji Temple in Kyoto, where their second son lived, intending to live in seclusion here and enjoy their lives in peace. To a certain extent, it was also to facilitate contact with the imperial court and the shogunate, and to provide invisible support to the daughter who had nothing to do.

In order to express his attention, Hirate Yoshimitsu personally applied to the imperial court and helped his father-in-law get the honorific title of "Dharma Seal Great Monk Zheng", which represents the highest class of the monks, which is roughly equivalent to the level of three officials. He also ordered that Ichimune be allowed to rebuild Yamashina Honganji Temple, which had been damaged by the "Astronomical Hokke Rebellion", in the Yamashina area, and allocated symbolic money and manpower to assist in the project.

Actions speak louder than words, and I thought this would fully demonstrate the importance of my wife. Let people inside and outside dare not criticize because of childlessness.

Unexpectedly, it caused a dispute.

Although Honganji Xianru and Rushuni were happy to see the Yamashina temple rebuilt, Honganji Kyoru, who had just succeeded to the throne, expressed serious dissatisfaction.

"Since the rise of the Lotus Venerable Master, the orthodoxy of this sect was originally in Yamashina, and this matter is known to the world. Trapped in the Astronomical Fahua Rebellion, he moved to Shishan, and now it can be called blue, and the weather is better than in the past. If the old site is rebuilt, it will be difficult to choose which of Yamashina and Shishan comes first, and the officials and disciples will probably be confused. ”

That's what the words say.

The implication is that he is worried that the Sect will be divided and disintegrated in the future. Maybe he heard about the "Dharma of the Temple" from some channels, so he was particularly wary.

When it reached the ears of Xianru and Ruchunni, they felt justified, and they felt that they had really not thought it through before.

Yoshimitsu Hirate responded silently.

The young lady of Saori was furious, and complained to her parents: "As a member of Buddhism, the eldest brother has too much desire for power!" My husband-kun allowed the continuation of incense in Yamashina out of kindness, but did the eldest brother think that he was secretly weakening his power? The shogunate was rich all over the world, with 100,000 troops and countless good generals, so if you wanted to deal with him, why use such a tactful and obscure way! ”

For many years, the monks and nuns of Honganji Temple and the monks and nuns were shrewd and decisive rulers. But now I am caught between my son and daughter, and I don't know what to do. The so-called clean officials are difficult to decide family affairs, and this is nothing more than that.

There were also attempts to mediate, but Honganji was resolute and even signed an "oath" with Shimoma Yoriren and Kennin Kennin of Ganshoji Temple, and reached a promise that "no matter what, the sect will continue to respect Ishiyama."

For this reason, Saori was depressed and even gave birth to illness, and Yoshimitsu Hirate was eager to protect his wife, so he took half a step back regardless of his face and withdrew the order to rebuild Yamashina Honganji.

The matter was only closed.

But the resentment of all parties is deeply precipitated.

……

During this time, the shogun Heite Hatsuhide was caught up in the internal malpractice and didn't have time to ask about the matter of Ishiyama Honganji.

The cause of the incident was that Hidenaga Kinoshita, one of the persons in charge of the "Great General Invitation", was suddenly reported by an anonymous letter one day and was involved in a serious case of embezzlement of ink.

The shogun ordered Nagatsuki Masake, Masuda Nagamori to check the accounts, Nakamura Kazushi, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo to cooperate with the supervision, and came to the conclusion that "although the suspicion of embezzlement cannot be dispelled, the number involved is low, and there is no need to pay too much attention."

However, Ishida Mitsunari did not know where to get the information about the case, questioned the calculation structure and judgment of the four people, and publicly submitted his opinions.

As a result, in front of the tie show, about 30,000 accounts were opened.

Then Yamauchi Kazutoyo suddenly stood up, saying that he was under pressure to speak out before, and told the two secret locations he had found.

At those two locations, a large amount of gold, silver, bills, copper coins, cultural relics, and works of art that Kinoshita Hidecho had secretly accumulated and deposited in the name of others were found, with an estimated total value of more than 150,000 yuan, which was significantly higher than his normal purchasing power.

At this point, the fraud case broke out completely, and the paper could no longer contain the fire.

Although there is a saying that "it is a win-win situation for this person to seek personal interests and the quality of the project is better than the average", there are no rules and no circle, and there must always be clear rewards and punishments.

Kinoshita Hidecho pleaded guilty and kept only 1,000 stone Zhiyuki as a family servant, and was sentenced to life solitary confinement. Changshu Zhengjia was suspected of harboring, fined half, and was removed from his post and returned to his hometown for three years. Nakamura Kazushi and Masuda Nagamori were negligent, not the mastermind, cut off Xunlu, demoted and transferred, and reflected at home for six months. Yamauchi Kazutoyo and Ishida Mitsunari were meritorious in cracking the case, and they were rewarded by Zhixing and promoted and reused.

After such a major event, among the logistics officers, Ina Tadaji, who had the most seniority and status, could not escape the blame, claiming to be guilty, and asked to resign and go to the temple to shave his hair and practice.

As a result, the shogunate pattern was turbulent, and among the remaining upper-level cadres, Honda Masanobu was not very in charge, Hosokawa Fujitaka was not qualified, and Maeda Gentoi was inconvenient as a monk...... The only one who stood up for this series of rewards and punishments was President Konishi, who dared to do things, and his status and power were inevitably greatly strengthened.

Waiting for the flat hand to pull out, he gradually had the intention of retreating, and he was too lazy to inquire about Honganji in person, but entrusted it to the Nian Mail.

Konishi Yukinaga, Maeda Genyi, and Yamauchi Kazutoyo went to the triumvirate, but in the end there was no way, so they couldn't do it. There are also rumors that President Konishi has made his own assertion and deceived on both sides, causing Yoshimitsu to be unhappy, and I don't know whether it's true or not.

All in all, due to the existence of Honganji Sect such as this powerful family, the "Dharma of the Temples and Shrines" planned by Heishou Honhide to regulate the words and deeds of monks could not be implemented at all, or even published at all.
