Originally, the abbots and palace priests of Izumi had reached an agreement to advance and retreat together. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can't make a slight concession to the Oda family, but if the other party opens his mouth and is forced to be anxious, everyone will join forces to raise the matter, claiming that the believers will rise up against it.

However, the new guardian Daidai Heite Hohide expressed his unwillingness to get involved in the temple's social properties, and the basis for the existence of this covenant was gone.

Furthermore, Hirata said that everyone should elect an organization to manage all temples and shrines in Quanguo.

This plan is obviously very easy to accept.

It's not even just easy to accept, it's almost unbelievable!

There are so many large and small temples, and it is obviously impossible for all of them to be equal. The difference between strength and weakness is also clear. Among the 140 temples and shrines, there are no more than a dozen or so who have the right to speak, and the rest are all vassals.

Several powerful figures, such as the monk of Fukudoji Temple and the priest Tashiro of Otori Shrine, felt that they would definitely be elected as representatives, so they all felt that the proposal of Hite-suhide was very good.

In this world, no one thinks they have too much power.

Of course, the small forces were reluctant to be brought under the jurisdiction, but if this policy was proposed by the guardian who wielded the armed forces, and supported by the large temple shrines, they would have to be forced to obey.

"With the existence of this institution, the contemptible can also reply to Oda Danmasa and the princess that the effective management of the temple has been achieved, and there is no need to do anything superfluous."

Fan Xiu's remarks gave this "autonomous organization" a good name. And on the flip side, his words can also be understood as follows: if the temples and shrines can't even meet this request, then Oda Nobunaga will be annoyed and may have to do "superfluous things".

Ishiyama's Ichijo sect, Nara's Higashiyama monk, was forced by Nobunaga to give money to show his submission compared to the people of Izumi Province, who were so clever that they didn't know where to go. The person in front of him, unless he is forced to a dead end, really can't afford to have the idea of confrontation.

Sitting on top of it, looking at the various lives of more than 100 religious people in front of him, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdain in his heart.

didn't use the other sets of plans as expected, just threw out such a name, and killed two birds with one stone, which not only broke the tacit understanding of the temples and communities, but also obtained a centralized management pretext.

It is said that it is a joint self-government, but the loose institutions are actually unable to carry out administrative functions and will only become a tool for infighting. The elected deputies must seek help from external forces before they can truly gain a foothold. When the time comes, they will be able to take the initiative to play the role of this "external force" and use the name of "guidance" or "research" to control the direction of the wind and bring it into the system of their own regime.

The only question that remains is the planning of this UGA. So the draw went on to add:

"It is suggested that ten elders who are wise and virtuous can be elected from among the abbots and palace officials to represent the monks and priests of the Izumi country as the 'Ten People'. I will also appoint a 'temple councilor', but this temple council will not infringe on the existing right of 'not losing or entering', and will only be responsible for liaison with the 'Ten People'. ”

Ten places just encompass almost all the top forces. The audience then secretly estimated who would be elected, but no one questioned the number for a while.

On the contrary, it was Tieshou Fan Xiu who shrank into his mouth and said: "Whether it is ten, fifteen, seven, or eight is up to you to decide, and the contemptible will never interfere." Just let us know the final result. For those within the temple, this organization has the power to judge on its own. But—if you want to use force against the outlaws, then please give me notice in advance. Otherwise, whether it is Oda Danmasa or Lord Gongkata, his face will inevitably be ugly. ”

This remark still did not provoke much reaction. After all, Fan Xiu has given so much autonomy, and he only asks for advance notice before using force, which is really insignificant.

Led by the meticulous monk Lijing, everyone is concerned about other issues.

After Fan Xiu finished speaking, he asked, "May I ask Lord Prisoner, how are these 'ten people' selected?" Is it limited to the election of the abbot of each temple and shrine, and I wonder whether other monks and priests can also participate, or whether it is jointly elected with all believers in the country? ”

Fan Xiu responded with a smile: "The contemptible person has already said that this is your own business, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere. How to elect and who are eligible to stand for election are all up to the monarchs to decide through their own deliberations. ”

Miyaji Tashiro on the side asked again: "I don't know if this 'Ten People' will change in a few years?" If someone unfortunately dies in office, who should be replaced? ”

Fan Xiu still replied patiently with a smile: "This matter is also discussed by you and others. ”

Then the people who sat a little lower below also began to ask questions.

"What if the 'Ten of Ten' were to stand differently from you?"

"If it's an internal matter of the temple, as long as it's not a shocking rumor like rebellion, I won't interfere."

"Lord Supervisor, will this 'Ten' levy taxes on us?"

"Since it's a union, it's definitely necessary to spend. But I believe that the people you choose will not be the ones who fill your pockets, right? ”

"If it is voluntary, can it not participate in this joint self-government?"

"Yes. However, if you do not participate in joint self-government, you must accept the land inspection and search of your own home. In this way, I can have an explanation with Oda Danmasa and the princess! ”

"Will you specify the place and time of the election?"

"Of course not. As long as you are at any temple in Izumi. But please let me know in advance that someone will come and observe the ceremony. ”

……

After some questions and answers, Tieshou took the trouble to answer everyone's questions, most of whom just kept repeating his attitude of "resolutely not interfering in joint self-government".

This made the abbot and the palace officials very satisfied, although they had not yet agreed to it on the spot, and were still saying polite words such as "go back and discuss with the believers", but it could be seen from the looks and gestures of everyone that the matter would not change much.

After seeing off the 140 religious figures, Hiroshi sat down and said to Koichiro Kinoshita and Konishi Yukicho, who were dressed as guards on the left and right:

"Now the methods you have come up with can come in handy."

Governor Konishi was a little down, and only said "Yes!" Kinoshita Koichiro couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The strategy we came up with, whether it is to divide the various sects, or to kill chickens and monkeys and severely punish the first evil, is just a trick, and the set of you, Lord Supervisor, can be said to have completely severed the foundation of trust between the temples and communities." ”

Fan Xiu didn't see joy when she heard this, but frowned slightly and said:

"Do you think that joint autonomy is just a bait thrown to trigger infighting in temples and shrines?"

"This ......"

"Think long-term! It is impossible to achieve complete control over any deep-rooted force, because coercion will inevitably lead to strong resistance. As long as the general direction is controlled, limited autonomy should be given, and this is the long-term way. ”

Regardless of whether the young man in front of him could understand it or not, Fan Xiu just told a big truth.

Of course, there are also hidden things that are not taught.

And that's—

If autonomy goes too far and the regime is unable to control the general direction, then there is only one way to eradicate it.
