Shaving refers to a ritual of Buddhists shaving their hair and receiving ordination, Buddhism believes that shaving ordination is a provision for accepting precepts, and the more life and death are only because, hence the name. Zheng Heng was originally a small novice of the Rinzai sect, the master died early and did not really receive the precepts, and then the family suddenly changed and had to return home to revive the family business, and after more than a year to seize the position of a great name in China, he had the idea of re-shaving the Tao, of course, he could not find a temple with the temporary Takeda Shingen, because the Changzen Temple was closer than the Huilin Temple and chose to shave the entrance to the Tao in the Changzen Temple, and could not do Uesugi Kenshin as perennial with the ancient Buddha of the green light, Only when he is busy with state affairs, he can no longer take time to deal with national affairs, and he can no longer be as calm as before. The Wa Kingdom and the Celestial Empire have the same way of practicing at home, in the Celestial Empire, the lay people eat more fasting and chant Buddha, not at all like the Wa Kingdom to the extreme, drinking wine, eating meat, marrying a wife, cold and taboo, when the development to the Pure Land Zhenzong, as long as you recite the Amitabha Buddha Tao more and do not mess up, you will go to the Western Elysium after death, and when you reach the troubled times of the Warring States, you can even go to the Western Elysium as long as you chant Amitabha Buddha once a day.
Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin are the two poles of ordination, the former belongs to the cold realism, and the latter is mostly the idealism cultivated from childhood. Zhengheng didn't know which category he would belong to, he had spent time in the monastery since he was a child, if he was supposed to be idealistic. However, his soul came from another time and space, and he was always out of step with reality, often showing an irritable and violent personality, which may be why his father would allow him to become a monk when he was young, according to the scale of the Date family's prosperity at that time, the two sons inherited the family business, and the brothers and brothers worked together to maintain the glory of the Date family. But he was as cold as Takeda Shingen, because he heard that Uesugi Kenshin had shaved his ordination, and in order to fight against his fateful rival, he couldn't wait to choose a temple to shave his ordination, which made him feel a little disgusted by the ancient Buddha who had been accompanied by the green lantern for many years.
Shaving is a sacred thing in itself, and it is the idealism of political balance. The practical significance is that Zhengheng has been unable to eliminate the rumors and slanders in a short period of time, and shaving the degree can make the glory of the Buddha dissipate the miasma. A believer who has become a Buddha cleanses his mind of uneasiness, and since he has embarked on the path of the daimyo step by step, he has always shown a feeling of uneasiness, fearing that his path will end in a cliff. At a young age, without any preparation, he has embarked on a path that ordinary people cannot understand, hoping to use the light of the Buddha to illuminate the way forward for him and guide him to the way forward. The more practical meaning is that once he is re-ordained, regardless of which sect holds the ordination, Zhengheng will become a supporter of the Buddha from that moment on, and there will be no extravagant use of money or land to buy the hearts of those monks, and the monks will not have any reason to engage in their territory. **The Wa Kingdom is a country of Buddhism, and Buddhists are as common as the Catholics of the Southern Barbarians, and if they want to be a powerful daimyo, they will either be as cold as Oda Nobunaga, or compromise like Takeda Shingen, or merge with Uesugi Kenshin. A successful daimyo needs to deal with different sects and different monks. How to deal calmly among monks without losing their crosshairs,
Zheng Heng did not make any other choice, and it may be said that he had no other choice to make. Nor did he introduce Protestantism in the same way as the protagonists of other Warring States novels, because he was one of the traditional conservative forces, just as he believed that the past lives in his dreams were real.
The Buddha said three lives, he believed that the one in the dream was his previous life, and if there was no guidance from the Buddha, he would lose his original heart and completely become a hell Shura in this life, becoming a completely short-sighted and shallow and ferocious man, if there is no previous life, there is no time to cross. He's just a duckweed dust with no past life or afterlife.
He can't deny his own existence, nor can he deny whether it is reasonable or not, only by expanding the reasonableness to the maximum can he stabilize his body, so as to determine that his difference with the world comes from this, perhaps this is also the author's original intention, he is not writing the Taige Ambition Biography of the Japanese people, nor is it the ambition of the Japanese people. The previous life of the protagonist he wrote about was a person who really had the heart of the Heavenly Empire, a person, not a beast.
He needs the guidance of the Buddha, just like his current mood, he is very confused at the moment, and he wants to find peace of mind in the chaotic and chaotic world, which may be said to be his idealism, but he is also a quite realistic person, he likes to eat meat, he likes to drink, he likes to warm quilts with beautiful women, he likes to expand his territory, he likes to sweep a qiē enemy into the trash, including the disciples of the Buddha who dare to stand in his way, he likes to violate a qiē law, He may have been shaved to enter the Tao just to maintain his last bit of conscience.
Zhengheng rode on the horse and touched a handful of newly grown black short hair, more than a year is enough to make the barren field green, and it can also make the bald head grow new hair again, he was not bald caused by natural hair loss, and he couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, he didn't expect to have so many reasons to explain why he wanted to shave into the Dao.
One of his biggest reasons now is that in order to sweep away the Shingon sect and prevent the Shingon sect from attracting the overall hatred of Buddhism in the way that stands in his way, he needs someone to be able to stand up and say that this is just an internal problem between religions, not a conflict between non-religions and religions, and there is only one reason why he chose Rinzai Buddhism, he is a disciple of Rinzai Buddhism himself.
The wind blew gently, blowing away the scorching heat of summer, and now it was the height of summer, and the fields by the river were full of busy figures. Compared to the mountainous areas of Aga-gun and Tetsuta-gun, the closer you get to Matsuyama Castle, the more plains close to the river between the mountains, with the construction and development of Matsuyama Castle in the past dynasties, it is far more developed than other places, and because Matsuyama Castle is still being rebuilt, the road between Matsuyama Castle and Tsurushou Castle has become the busiest place in China, and there are constantly travelers and merchants, and from time to time there appear people wearing Date family crest and full armor, and the team of Zhengheng has stopped to pay respects.
Matsuyama Castle was destroyed by a large number of trees, and it was not possible to complete the damaged part in just half a month, but the castle tower, which had not experienced the war, had been renovated, and the walls were not really the same color, and the red roof tiles were dazzling in the swaying sunlight. Iron Dan, a by-product of Yoshioka Copper Mountain, has appeared, due to the poor trade routes, peace does not come, this kind of ceramic pigment that has been carried forward in the Edo Shogunate has not yet been carried forward and has become a special product of Yoshioka Copper Mountain people to make a fortune, has appeared in the repair process of Matsuyama Castle, has become an important pigment for Matsuyama Castle tiles, but also left Matsuyama Castle "Red City" and "Iron Dan City" reputation, so that the founder of the repair of it Date Masahiro left a big mark.
Zheng Heng had no idea of hiding his whereabouts, and the team of more than 100 people couldn't hide the others, so he slowly advanced on the road, which soon caused a lot of discussion and became the center of the controversy.
There is no distant branch of the Date family near Yamato Mountain, they have come to Tsurushou City to take refuge in the Tsurumi City due to the strong rise of the Date family, and they have come to Tsurushou City to take refuge, hoping to become a retainer of the Date family with a thin blood relationship, and enjoy a good treatment, most of their blood relations can be traced back to more than three or four generations, or even to more than five or six generations, because the Date family is different from other families, the weak family power makes Zhengheng still take them in, but this generation is all mediocre, Some of them were still farmers, far inferior to others, and could only hold positions within their means, such as the Chebashi Chief, the village chief, and so on.
The Yamato Sayama Castle on Yamato Mountain has long been wiped out in the long river of history, leaving only a piece of ruins and broken walls to tell the glory of the past, not far from the simple renovation of the Date Dan Zhengkan made Zheng Heng feel for the first time that he was not so lonely, because it was to make preparations for the ordination, he went early to repair the land on the Miaojian Mountain not far from the Date Dan Main Building, and began to plan to build a temple, a temple with Zen characteristics, but the scale of the temple will not be luxurious, Most of the remaining materials from Matsuyama Castle were transported over for construction, and the construction project was carried out steadily, and it will probably be completed before the arrival of winter, and the shaving path expected by Masahiro will be in the spring of next year.
Just as Zhengheng was staying in the Date Dan Main Pavilion, not far away in a straight line, Tagaki Kuni Torakura Castle, who had a strong and outgoing personality, broke straight into his father's residence with a long knife, glanced at the beautiful concubine who was panicked and covered his shame, his eyes were full of contempt, and then Masasei said, "Father, I want to talk to you alone." With that, he sat down with a big grin, completely ignoring the iron blue face of his father, Katsutaka Iga.
Iga Katsutaka's face was pale, and he waved his hand at the beautiful concubine, who was wrapped in a quilt and left in a hurry to reveal half of her white breasts, tidying up her messy clothes, and her frost-white eyebrows were unwilling eyes, but she didn't expect that in Iga's house, she was putting the cart before the horse, and the father wanted to look at his son's face and act, a pair of eyes dodged Iga Kutaka's sharp eyes, and asked, "Is there any news from Jinchuan Castle?" "Kanegawa Castle is the residence of Matsuda Motomori, and the Iga clan is the old minister of Matsuda Motoki.
Iga Kutaka had a solemn face and sharp eyes, which were very different from his father, and he replied: "Since the Jinchuan Left Commander suffered a crushing defeat since he went out to prepare for the First World War in China, the owner of the pavilion fainted twice and intended to let the prince inherit the family business, and the close minister faction led by Nishiya, Toyama, and Myokokuji supported the prince Motohui to control the authority and exclude our foreign feudal faction, what is the plan of my father?" ”
Iga Katsutaka suddenly asked calmly, "So is it a choice?" His tone was calm, and his father, who had always dodged in front of the powerful Iga Kutaka, was now speaking calmly, with a faint glint in his eyes, and Iga Kutaka was slightly surprised. (To be continued......)
