In Nagashima Temple, Hosokawa Nobumoto and Genyi visited the abbot Sorai, and there was also a middle-aged monk under him, who was sent from Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

The two sides met in a harmonious atmosphere, set up close, talked about Buddhism, and were very happy.

"Master Kongyi, on behalf of the Oda family, I have come to visit you this time, hoping that the two families will be reconciled from generation to generation. To this end, he brought two newly revised Buddhist scriptures and enshrined them to the two masters. After a while of pleasantries, Hosokawa Nobumoto began to get to the point.

"Huh? Hosokawa-sama is polite.,Ever since Lord Kami-sosuke inherited the family governor.,This temple has always been unconcerned.。 It's just that this time Matsudaira Motoyasu embezzled my Zong Liangtian, and you seem to have signed an alliance agreement with his Matsudaira family? Empty looked at the Buddhist scriptures in front of him, without any intention of flipping through them, and the words he said also revealed a faint taste of interest.

"My Oda family was also shocked by this incident, and I hereby reprimanded the Matsudaira family, demanding that they return the good fields of your sect, and, hehe, the Venerable Master! Guru! Let's take a look at this Buddhist text. That's the kindness of my family. Hosokawa Nobumoto pointed to the two Buddhist texts.

"Huh? This is! I saw that Lai Dan opened the Buddhist scriptures, and the contents of it were all catalogs of some filial piety items.

"Hehehe." At this time, the emptiness was also reflected, and the amount of money and food enshrined on the catalog was clear at a glance.

"Hosokawa-sama has a heart, this Buddhist scripture is very much in line with the Buddha's wishes. After reading this Buddhist scripture, the poor monk suddenly realized a truth: it is difficult for a doctor to heal a person who is dying, and it is difficult for a Buddha to cross the sentient beings who have no fate. You have a relationship with this temple, so the poor monk believes in the sincerity of the Oda family, and hopes that the Lord will go back and tell the Lord that he should not get involved in the Mikawa affair and use his sword and gun in vain. ”

"I will definitely convey it below, and please rest assured that my Oda family will never help the Matsudaira family, and I think the Venerable Master has heard that he has a blood feud with that Matsudaira Ieyasu." Hosokawa Nobumoto hurriedly agreed, first get through the current crisis, and then see how he can get back to this field when he is strong in the future. After eating how much benefit he had, he couldn't double it and spit it out, but he knew that these fake monks had a great ability to make money.

"Then please stay a few more days, just in time to learn about my family's Buddhism. Oh yes, have you considered converting? "Empty intention left Hosokawa Nobumoto, which is equivalent to a hostage in disguise.

"Then I'll be bothering for a few days, but let's take my time with this conversion, after all, my family has always been Zen, and I am afraid of chaos in my family if I suddenly change my sect." Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't care, he stayed to rest for a few days, and the rest could be handed over to Xuan to make a good relationship with the temple.

"Hehe, it's the poor monk who is abrupt, so since this is the case, the hour is not early, so let's go to dinner first." Kongyi made a Buddha cavity and called the monk on duty to lead Hosokawa Nobumoto and others to dinner.

"Master Shimo, why doesn't the Dharma Master let us take this opportunity to launch the Eternal Strike?" After Hosokawa and the others left, he turned around and asked Shimoma Laidan on the side. "Is it really because this Hosokawa Nobumoto is the brother-in-law of the Dharma Master, so that's why?"

"Hahaha, how is this possible, what family affection is there in this troubled world? Besides, it's not a close relative, it's a political marriage, the Dharma Lord is so wise and powerful, how can he not know? Lai Dan laughed and slowly explained the reason.

"It's just that General Yoshiki and the Miyoshi family are fighting openly and secretly, and the contradictions are intensifying day by day. The Dharma Master speculated that it would not be long before the situation would be endless, and at that time, the family would have a rich land, with millions of believers, waiting to be sold. No matter who dominates Gyeonggi, the family will stand still, and even sprinkle the Buddha's compassion on the world again. And this Hosokawa Nobugen doesn't look at it and now belongs to the Oda family, and it is said that he is secretly the most favored by General Yoshiki, and if the general's family wins the struggle in the end, it is inevitable that he will have to rely on this relationship to coordinate it. ”

"Haha! I see, if the general wins, he will rely on nepotism to expand the influence of his family; If the general is defeated, he will launch the same attack again, and obtain more benefits by force. After Lai Dan's explanation, the emptiness instantly understood the mystery.

"That's right, let me sit and watch the world happen, and then take charge of the world! Hahahaha! The two so-called enlightened monks laughed unbridled in front of the Buddha.

In this way, Hosokawa Nobumoto began a boring temple life, but in fact, it is not boring, no, Hosokawa Nobumoto is raising a scroll of paintings in his hand and shouting loudly: "The spring palace picture of the famous Kanto geisha Ah Xiang!" The auction begins! Prices start at 100 pieces! Each increase must not be less than 10 times! ”

"I'll go! Spring palace picture, my dear, no one wants to rob me this time! I'm out 110 times! ”

"What! Ah Xiang! I'm a big fan of her! I'm going to decide on her portrait! I'm out 130 runs! ”

"I'm out of 150!" Hosokawa Nobumoto was surrounded by a group of monks in front of him, his eyes were confused, and he was vying for the first price, these are all Buddhist disciples who eat fasting and chant Buddha, they are all fake monks wearing robes and calling Amitabha Buddha, and their hearts are actually greedy and evil.

Xuan Yi saw it on the side, sighed and shook his head, and went to the main hall, today he preached Buddhism with the abbot of the Wish Temple, the abbot of the Hosen Temple, and the master of the lower house. But he had already seen through the coy behavior of these fake monks in his heart, but there was no way, he still had to abide by the agreement and help Hosokawa Nobugen handle the Buddhist relationship.

In fact, Hosokawa Nobugen looks unrestrained on the surface, but in fact, since he stayed at the temple, his ninja guards have strengthened their protection, and the horseback team is always on standby outside the temple.

"My lord! According to His Majesty's investigation, in January this year, Ando Mori, an important minister of the Saito family, bluntly admonished Saito Ryuxing at the annual meeting, hoping that he could reorganize the army and take care of the people, and not only know how to drink and have fun, and the country will not be a country in the long run. It's a pity that the loyalty is contrary to the ear, Saito Ryuxing was furious, and angrily imprisoned Ando Mamoru in the northern city. "Late at night, Hattori Hanzo would come to report when no one was around.

"Oh? So, that event is about to begin? In that case, Hanzo! When Mamoru Ando is released, Plan A can be implemented. Hosokawa Nobumoto put on a decisive look of victory thousands of miles away.

"Yes! The lord and the minister will personally go to implement Plan A! The set goal must be completed perfectly. "Hattori Hanzo bows his head and responds, no matter what the task, he can always fully implement any task of the main bus generation.

"Yes, go ahead." After speaking, Hosokawa Nobumoto looked out the window, which was in the direction of Minokoku.
