Chapter 67: A Young Genius at the Negotiating Table
The most powerful thing about it has always been that it is extremely diffusive.
The people of Takigawa Kazuki and Honda Tadakatsu also faced the challenge of implementing a new policy on the newly acquired land. Originally, their methods were much more clever than that of this guy in the national government, taking into account the balance of interests of all parties, and did not arouse too much resistance.
However, after an incident occurred in a rural area west of Nagashima Temple, the surrounding area was also affected. The monks of the Sect have been active and active, which has aroused people's hearts and is eager to try.
In order to prevent accidents, Takigawa and Honda also had to take martial law measures and mobilize troops to be ready for war at any time.
This deepened the tension.
The atmosphere, in turn, stimulated more ignorant villagers to join forces with the crowd, and fell into an obvious vicious circle.
For a time, many various gossips spread rapidly.
Panic and anxiety, everyone is in danger.
The news was quickly brought back to Kishiwada Castle by hidden intelligence agents from various places, but among the lords, some of them turned to the Heite family for help when they saw that things could not be taken care of, and some did not have this awareness at all.
Similarly, the monks did not report the incident to Ishiyama Honganji in the first place.
The bigwigs weren't too happy about it.
Relatively speaking, the Venerable Master was in a relatively passive position, and the resources in his hands were not sufficient, so he was somewhat powerless.
However, there are conditions for a big fight.
A few days after the incident, Konishi Yukinaga arrived at Kobe Castle and received great attention from Oda Nobutaka, who gave instructions to "guard the castle and not to attack monks, disciples, and the common people."
The local people such as Guofu Shengzhong did not dare to speak the opposite.
At least don't dare to openly contradict it.
At the same time, the official Shimoma Yoridan, accompanied by Ii Toramatsu, arrived on Nagashima in a pretentious manner, and strictly ordered all monks and disciples to return to the temple for reflection and forbid private activities.
A local monk questioned: "What should we do if we withdraw unilaterally, if we are attacked?" ”
Without waiting for Lai Dan to reply, Jing Yihusong rebuked the guest: "As the name of the Tie Family, the contemptible people are here to ensure peace. Which lord dares to disobey, and has his own means of destroying the family and destroying the door, do you have any doubts? ”
The monk did not dare to speak.
Takigawa Kazuyoshi and Honda Tadakatsu also received similar instructions.
But they just wanted to defend the city for self-protection, and they had no intention of fishing in troubled waters, but they were happy to obey orders.
Two days later, Hirate Yoshimitsu arrived with 200 guards and retinue in a light car and horseback, and chose a Shingon temple as a "neutral venue", declaring that he would convene a polemic between the two sides to distinguish between right and wrong.
In this way, the style of painting was forced to be brought back to the negotiating table.
None of the forces had the courage to oppose this resolution.
Nagashima Kanshoji Temple may have it, but under the pressure of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, it did not dare to show it.
Not to mention the attitude of the Venerable Master, let's just say that the identity of Heishou Yoshimitsu is the eldest aunt of the Yizong Sect, and he doesn't dare to treat him politely at this point.
On the side of Kishiwada Castle, Hite's opinion was: "Yu will arrive within ten days, and for the time being, please ask the Central Affairs Hall (Hirate Yoshimitsu) to make a decision on the spot." ”
Honganji temple is also along.
This arrangement was not very beneficial to the Yizong sect, but it was just a request for others and reluctantly agreed.
Pingshou Fan Xiu moved slowly, put on a full swing, and did not give any secret instructions in advance, and wanted to see with interest how far his son would deal with it on his own.
As a parent, he was looking forward to a satisfactory result, but he was also a little inexplicably worried, and he didn't want the result to be too perfect.
The mindset is complex.
……
Yoshimitsu Hirate didn't set a high tone, and put the breakthrough on the details.
He instructed both sides: "I heard that before each of them raised their swords, everyone discussed and discussed together for a long time, and this is very good!" Why do you have to fight and kill? Consider continuing the day's discussion. Let me hear what's going on. ”
The words are full of reason, righteousness and awe-inspiring, and cannot be refuted.
Helplessly, the lords, samurai, monks, and common people put the plot of the day on the other side.
Yukinaga Konishi sat on the left side, and Ii Toramatsu sat on the right.
The former said, "There is no doubt that the right to seize the land was bestowed by the Heite Shogunate on behalf of the shogunate, and naturally we have the status of legal administration. ”
At this time, Yoshimitsu Hirate frowned slightly and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The latter said: "Decades ago, the Ichishiki Lord, who was then the head of the shobe and the guardian of Ise, had already granted the herdsmen the privilege of self-defense, but now it has not been explicitly abolished. ”
At this time, Yoshimitsu Hirate showed an interested look.
The main point of contention between the two sides was a large pile of yellowed old documents, estimated to be hundreds of pages in total.
The samurai think this kind of thing is simply funny, I don't know when the old yellow calendar, who is in the mood to find chapters and sentences with you word by word?
The monks insisted that these decades-long documents, which were the process by which the "shogunate ceremonies" gradually recognized the privileges of Nagashima Kanshoji Temple, could not be ignored.
The samurai took a step back and said, "We're going to take it back and study it slowly."
The monk refused, saying that he was worried about tampering with or destroying it, and that he could only see it here.
In front of the second generation of the Tieshou family, the two sides didn't dare to make too many times, at least they didn't do anything, and they tried to avoid swearing, but the quarrel was still angry and incompatible.
Yoshimitsu was not too surprised by this situation.
He only gave a look.
Governor Konishi received instructions and dragged out a well-mannered young samurai from behind.
The man claimed to read the paperwork on the spot, and Yoshimitsu Hirate gave permission.
Then the young samurai spent half an hour reading at a speed, and the big eyes around him waited inexplicably, not knowing what he was doing.
Half an hour later, the man put down the paperwork, smiled calmly, and said, "I hope that I have some problems, and I hope to explain them clearly in front of Master Yoshimitsu (Yoshimitsu)." ”
This request was granted.
So the young samurai asked: "First of all, the two documents of the sixth year of Ming Ying and the seventh year of Ming Ying were both issued in the name of guardianship, why is one signed as 'Isshiki Military Department' and the other as 'Isshiki Tamba', and the handwriting is different?" I remember that the guardianship of Ise Province had not changed at that time. ”
The monks were shocked and speechless.
Old accounts from decades ago, who remembers what's going on!
It's just that it's just taken out as a tiger skin, but someone really takes it seriously? And after only looking at it for such a short time, you found something wrong?
Then the young man did not wait for an answer, and said, "A document in the third year of Daei says that the land in the west of the Ifi River and the east of the Nagara River was granted to the disciples. This is strange, you must know that the river was diverted in the first year of Dayong, and it took four or five years to sort it out, which is not consistent with the document record. ”
The monks were still speechless.
The samurai were overjoyed, and said that the child brought by Konishi was really a prodigy and had helped a lot.
The young man did not stop, and mercilessly pointed out the third mistake and omission: "This information on the fourth day of October in the fourth year of Xianglu has the handwriting of two masters, Lianchun and Liangang. But Master Lotus passed away on October 18 of that year. More than ten days before his death, he was able to go to Long Island to sign? This is really a bit sensational. ”
Lai Cheng of the lower part of the temple was stunned for a long time, and then stood up embarrassed and proposed to discuss these issues.
Yoshimitsu Hirate agreed.
An hour later, on the side of Yixiangzong, a young man who looked very clever also came out, fought a lawsuit against Taiwan, and answered the above questions one by one.
"In the seventh year of Ming Ying, the Isshiki Military Department temporarily lived in seclusion due to eye disease, and the person who signed his old man was his brother Isshiki Danbo. This matter can be seen in the actual records of the family of the temple of persuasion, and there is a copy of the temple in the temple. ”
"What you said about the diversion of the river in the first year of Dayong, could it be that you saw it from the "Diary of Quanwu Temple"? In fact, the book confuses the estuary of the Nagara River and the Kiso River, and obviously does not know much about geography. The diversion should be in the first year of Yongzheng. ”
"This information in October of the fourth year of Xianglu should have been signed by Lianchun and Lianxian, but unfortunately the ink was accidentally splashed at that time, and the key points were smeared, and it was mistakenly remembered when it was repaired later."
talked so eloquently, and actually rounded back all the accusations.
Regardless of whether it is round or not, there is always a practical explanation, and some evidence can be presented.
A young samurai, thin but very strong, with meticulous care of his facial features. A young official, with a sallow face and a sickly color, smiling with an aura of overcoming rigidity with softness.
It can be said that they are all rare geniuses, and this kind of ability to read documents in a short time, organize information, and express themselves comprehensively, Hirate Yoshimitsu has only seen it in Honda Masanobu and Takenaka Shigeharu before.
He couldn't help but be amazed, and didn't care about the case first, but quietly asked the names of the two.
Konishi replied, "This man, Omi Ishida Sakichi, is only sixteen years old, and he is a manufacturable material that has been excavated recently. ”
Shimoma Lai Dan said: "It is Otani Hirama, the son of the official of Qinglian Temple, who is now seventeen years old, and is used as a personal companion by poor monks because of his erudition and strong knowledge. ”
