Chapter 80: Changes in the Master-Slave Relationship (I)
Like other countries in the Oriental cultural circle, New Year is the most important holiday in Fuso. During this time www.biquge.info every family would stop all their work, get together, put on beautiful new clothes, make some traditional foods such as mirror cakes, soba noodles, and rice cakes, and then clean the house, and put them on the door pine and rope.
The most formal and essential event of the New Year is the most formal and essential event of the New Year, and this custom dates back to the Kofun and Asuka periods. At that time, the head of the clan, as the head of the family, would lead the whole clan to hold a large-scale sacrifice on the first day of the first lunar month, praying for the protection of the ancestral god or the guardian deity of the family. To show sincerity, the entire night of Chinese New Year's Eve is spent praying at the shrine.
After Buddhism, which had a higher degree of self-organization and a more complete theory, came from the Tang Dynasty, the local Shinto religion in Fuso was gradually influenced, forming the idea of "local traces", and the two ways of God and Buddha began to mix and merge. Since the Warring States period, the two have been closely related and inseparable from each other.
The various customs of celebrating the New Year are also integrated into the Buddhist path that is characteristic of Fuso.
For example, the temple where Hirate Honshu is located now has a shrine dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai and a shrine dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai, and many worshippers gather on both sides to perform the "Motohichi" worship ceremony.
At first glance, it seems to be on par, but if you look closely, you can see that the words "Hachiman Great God" are not written in front of the temple's Hachiman Shrine, but "Hachiman Great Bodhisattva". From this point of view, Buddhism is superior.
Heite Honshu is far away from his homeland and stays alone in Kyoto, with no family to accompany him except for a Ji samurai, so he actually has no leisure to wander around the temple. But who called Nobunaga that guy designated to meet here? I had to run over and wait in advance.
It seems that the desire to prolong life is the main thing that comes to ask Yakushi to come to him, and Hachimanjin is the martial god who represents the way of the bow and horse, so Hohide decided to choose the latter. He sent someone to settle the relationship in advance, and occupied a remote guest room near the shrine as a resting place.
The popularity of the temple is thriving, and the price of goods is also rising, and this small mansion that can only accommodate a maximum of ten people has to collect three taels of gold incense money every night. There were only three bedrooms in the house, the middle one was reserved for Nobunaga, the one on the left was occupied by the Tsuhide, and the one on the right was given to the cadres of the guards to rest in shifts, and as for the other soldiers, they could only take turns to lay the floor in the cold.
Fan Xiu lay in this small bedroom, listening to the chanting outside the window, while tasting the temple's homemade drinks and snacks, while holding a copy of "On Plum Song" to pass the time, Chinese New Year's Eve was spent leisurely.
The military monogatari of "Umematsu Treatise" is written about the process of the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate, and it is a short and precise penmanship, which can be called a masterpiece. But the brainless admiration for the so-called "samurai spirit" revealed between the lines makes people feel slightly disobedient. Hirate turned to the page where Yoshisada Nitta was fighting to destroy the Kamakura shogunate, and suddenly felt sleepy, so he threw down the book and lay down to sleep.
I slept for five or six hours.
When I woke up again, I was disturbed by the movement in the room, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I was stung by the bright sunlight outside the window, and I knew that it was noon. When I turned my head again, there was one more person in the room.
The uninvited guest's samurai costume and saber were all beautiful and clean, but they were not very neatly dressed. Medium stature, strong physique, neat facial features, short and thin beard, and a non-angry and self-authoritative demeanor, Huo Ran is Oda Nobunaga!
Fan Xiu reacted and hurriedly saluted and confessed.
"It's okay, you know I can't wait for the layers to be reported!" Nobunda waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and seemed to be in a good mood. He rolled his eyes and saw the book that Fan Xiu had thrown down last night.
"The Treatise on Plum Song? The article is good, but its meaning is not advisable. ”
With a simple sentence, Nobunaga marked this military chronicle with the same name as "Taiheiki" as "undesirable".
When Fan Xiu heard this, he immediately agreed: "This book blindly respects the so-called 'righteousness' of traditional samurai who value honor and neglect life, but it may not be in line with the development of today's situation. ”
"Hmm......" Nobunaga nodded slightly, closing his eyes, making Honhide think that he had to say a few more words about the book. But then he thought of another place, and said:
"It is natural to pacify the springs, but it is too slow."
When Fan Xiu heard this, he realized that the other party was dissatisfied that he had been busy sorting out internal affairs and had failed to send troops to fight against Miyoshi. So he explained: "The enemy on land has been swept away. However, the three good enemy chieftains are far away in the four countries, and the subordinates lack naval strength, and they are beyond the reach of the whip commander. ”
Hearing this prevarication, Nobunaga was not annoyed, but teased and said, "Isn't it the best to make something out of nothing?" ”
"This ......" Honxiu deliberately made a look of embarrassment and uneasiness.
"Let's not talk about this for now." After a while, Nobunaga changed the topic and asked, "You helped raise the funds for the shogunate's reform?" ”
"Yes. Under the help of them sold a batch of art. Honhide replied without hesitation, "If you don't help, although it will be the shogunate who will lose face, the Oda family, as the supporter behind it, will inevitably be ridiculed by the world, and the imperial court may also have unfavorable opinions." ”
"But now the siege of Ashikaga has been lifted." Nobunaga frowned slightly.
"This ...... It is believed that there are two ways to deal with this matter further. ”
"Please." Nobunaga still spat out a short sentence coldly, but he used the rare word "please."
"Yes." It took a moment for Honshu to organize the language, explaining, "If you want to show favor to the shogunate completely, you should secretly buy back what they sold and give it to the shogunate; However, if he wanted to warn the shogunate, he would spread the word about the sale of his ancestral property by the princess. ”
After listening to the answer, Nobunaga still did not express his position, but once again showed his leaping thinking, and asked again:
"Asai Saizheng, what's going on?"
Nobunaga's words were always concise and to the point, but Honhide understood the question and immediately replied:
"Report to the Lord. In late October last year, I met the old Akao Kiyotsuna, a retired member of the Asai family, in Izumi, and talked with him for a while, and only then did I have some ideas temporarily. Hence ......"
"There is no need to go into the cause and effect, but the reason."
"Yes. The reason for His Majesty's proposal was, of course, to determine the 'master-slave relationship' between Asai and Oda. ”
At the same time as these four words landed, Oda Nobunaga's eyes lit up.
A moment later, Nobunaga also replied with four words:
"I'm tired of talking about it in detail!"
These words are rarely heard in the Oda family. Nobunaga was a man of great talent and intelligence, but he lacked patience. He often understood the advice of his retainers immediately after listening to the outline, so he was very disgusted with nonsense that had nothing to say. The last time he heard him ask for "detailed explanations" was more than ten years ago, when he presented the "three strategies for rejuvenating the country" of land inspection, music market, and knife hunting.
Moreover, it is very strange that Nobunaga said "please" to his retainers in a short period of time, and used the word "tired".
