Regarding the external problem of the Tokugawa family, I already had a plan to play when I took Kumahime back. According to my calculations at the time, if the Tokugawa family remained neutral between the two sides, they would retain Mikawa and Enoe; If they throw themselves at Hideyoshi, they will naturally be punished by reducing or removing the seal, depending on their attitude. Therefore, I quickly ordered the envoy to bring an order to Shukei, and asked him to send an envoy to the Tokugawa clan to persuade him to surrender.

"There are three conditions for subjugation," I spread out in my tent, "first, the rest of the territories except for the Trois-Rivières Territory shall be confiscated; Second, Ieyasu himself and Nobuyoshi Surukawa led the people of Suruga to stay with Hidekei and follow Hideki to continue the crusade against the Hara family, and the Mikawa army under his command was handed over to Ishikawa Shumasa, Sakai Tadaji, and Hiraiwa Qinyoshi to bring back to their country and disband, and the people of Enoe submitted an oath to Ii Nobunao, and Nobunao led them to return to their country by sea: third, the marriage contract between Kumahime, the adopted daughter of the main family, and Chiyo Tokugawa Takechiyo (Hidetada), was still valid, and if the Tokugawa family asked for it, she could be handed over to the Tokugawa family...... That's it! Fan respectfully took the paper and returned to the left flank of the Tokugawa family.

Xinjing remained in the main tent. When he heard the second condition I proposed, he keenly discovered the message: "Does my father mean that he will hand over the next war to Uncle Xiujing?" "Not bad," I nodded, "Now that the matter has come to this, Kinai has naturally returned to the main family, and the only thing that the Yura family can control is Harima and Tajima." Those wealthy families in these two countries will not be willing to follow the Yuliang family to be buried, and they will definitely surrender to Xiujing. Then, I will take advantage of the situation to give these two countries to Xiujing, and he will guard the Shanyi and Shanyang regions, and guard the western flank of Jinnai. ”

"So that's the case", "Xinjing nodded, the expression on his face was slightly gloomy" "Uncle Xiujing's hard work is high" should be given such a large piece of territory. ”

I could understand his feelings. According to him, the final battle of the Yura family "should be handed over to him, even if it is not presided over by me." However, since these two countries are going to be handed over to Xiujing, it is naturally up to Xiujing to preside over them, so that he can gain the allegiance of the wealthy families of the two countries. This kind of personnel arrangement is one of the important traditions of the Oda family and the main family.

"Today's Yura family has lost its reputation as the leader of the Kinai, and it's just a local daimyo who is fighting against the family" Naturally, I don't need me to go out with you in person" I smiled and appeased Shinjing "Moreover, you also have something to do...... At present, there is chaos in the Hokuriku region, so let's go with the army and calm it down in the name of our family! "Yijing also goes...... In other words, the Hokuriku region will be handed over to Yijing Town? Xinjing immediately asked.

"yes." I nodded, sighing inwardly. Hokuriku is not a good place, far from being comparable to Kinai and Kanto, and even worse than the undulating mountains of the mountain area of Sanyo, and a little better than the bitter cold Tohoku. However, as Yijing, "only if it is placed there will it not pose a threat to the sect family." If it is placed in Kinai and Kanto, after the power develops, it is likely to be another Kamakura Duke.

"What about the right-wing Brother Zhou Jing and Jing Zheng?" , Shinkyo continued.

"They also have a mission to calm down Ki Nei for me. In particular, Genraiji Temple, which has a huge power and has not yet been subdued, can now be pacified...... Afterwards, Zhou Keikai received a high position from the imperial court: if Keisei behaved well, "he could get 280,000 koku from the northern half of Ise and 300,000 koku from the south to the Nagano family, and the two sides were bounded by Annotsu Castle." I replied to Xinjing.

"Actually, I think Jing Zheng's performance this time is already very good" Xin Jing fought for Jing Zheng, "The family's military food reserves and intelligence collection are all in his charge: and if he hadn't rebelled against the Zhongchuan and Gaoshan families, the war on the right wing would not have ended so quickly." "You're right," I smiled and nodded, "so that's it...... When the Tokugawa family was officially subdued, "I will return to Kyoto immediately." I'll leave the rest to you! "Yes. I won't disappoint my father! Xinjing nodded.

……，……

The news of this decisive battle in Settsu Province spread so quickly that before I could leave Ikeda Castle, the Imperial Court's consolation envoy had already arrived in the army. After the routine meeting, I announced the appointment of Nobuyo and Hidekei, and ordered Gamo Nobuhide, Shimazu Yoshihisa, and others to attack the Yoshikawa family, and then return to Kinai with Shukei, Keimasa, and others.

Unlike the last time Kyoto was pacified, this time it was a triumphant victory and represented the final pacification of Kinai. Therefore, I set up a grand guard of honor in the army, with the crab river as the leader, the banner as the forest, and the lotus pond and the upper field as the subordinates, guarding the left and right wings respectively. The generals, including myself, all changed into solemn dresses, and the sergeants were all dressed in new formations, showing the most solemn military posture. Such a team naturally caused a great sensation, and the people along the way rushed from the surrounding areas, and the marquis looked at the grand honor guard and solemn military appearance in awe beside the avenue I passed, and I ordered Maeda Toshinaga and others to prepare a large number of newly cast Yongzhen Tongbao, which were distributed to these people like a withdrawal of huā, and prepared a newly cast Yongzhen small judgment and sub-judgment, which were rewarded to the wealthy clans and temples along the way who came to visit.

For my return, the imperial court also made a grand arrangement, starting from the Ishishimizu Hachiman Shrine, which is nearly 20 kilometers away from Kyoto, and there were queues of ministers at various intersections to greet the imperial court. As the distance from Kyoto got closer and closer, the official rank of the presiding officer also became higher and higher, from the power of Hachimangu Shrine Nakenyama Naken Yama Yanko, to the power of Kumiyama Nagon Hino Teruji, and then to the Minister of the Interior of the Fushimi Bureau, Imadegawa Sunny Season, and when he arrived at Kyoto Jonannomiya, Sekihaku Ichijo Neiki, who was already the head of the minister, personally presided over the suburbs.

Ichijo Neiki's official position is the Left Minister, and he is here to greet me, that is, I will soon be promoted to the position of Left Minister.

As for the opening, it was a matter of course, and I had already reached a tacit understanding with the imperial court before I went to Settsu. Of course, the official announcement of the general is a very important event, and it takes a period of time to prepare for the procedures and etiquette.

My residence in Kyoto has always been the Sokokuji Temple in Kamigyo Ward. Xiangguo Temple is a macro clip, although there are more people coming this time, it is not a problem to arrange all the accommodation. However, in order to be quieter, I did not live in the main temple of Xiangguoji Temple, but chose Rokuenji Temple as the head of the temple, as the abbot of Xiangguoji Temple, as the abbot of Xiangguoji Temple, Tianhai and Maeda Genyi who stayed in Kii Province, Kofukuji Ichijoin and guardian of Yamato Province Tsutsui Shunkei, Enryakuji Shoren-in Temple, the 167th Tendai Throne Lord Prince Asahoha (son of Prince Fushimi Kanbangsuke) "There is also the 80th generation of the head of Kokuji Temple, the great monk of Shingon sect Righteous Performance (Nijo Harara's state to see the son of the prince of the palace, The younger brother of Kujo Kanetaka and Nijo Akimi, who was once the son of Ashikaga Yoshiaki), was also summoned to the temple by me.

"I have summoned you here for the purpose of formulating a few laws," I took out the "Tentative Law of the Kira Family Eisadada" and the "Law on the Reservation of Temples of All Sects" drafted by Amami, Maeda Genyi, and others in Kii, and distributed them to everyone here, "If the peace is about to be settled today, everything will be on the right track." Therefore, Yu hopes to use your wisdom to improve these two documents, and formulate a formal samurai law and a formal temple law. After that, Yu would also petition the imperial court to formulate a public law, and set an example for the famous instruments of the imperial court, the family character and official position of each family, the official position of each samurai, the appointment of the door traces, the courtyard and the monks, and the corresponding instruments and promotions. "This is the holy way of long-term peace and stability! "Xixiao accepted his hands together, and his mouth was full of praise," the first saint Mencius once said, "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle, that is, this is also ............ It is a great honor for my generation to be a part of this! ”

As the chief envoy of the exploration trade, Xixiao Chengcheng had great influence in Jinai, and all the princes, samurai families, and temples were willing to hand over to him. Now hearing his statement, the rest of the people echoed it. However, Maeda Genyi, as one of the most important ministers of the family, raised his doubts to me: "For all of you who have left home, it is natural for you to formulate the temple law; However, should the formulation of the samurai law be more cautious? "It's okay," I smiled and waved my hand, "the original Yongzhen tentative law was almost out of the hands of one person, and now it has already been implemented, so it only needs to be supplemented." You are cultivators, and your position is more detached, and I hope you can pick up the gaps and fill in the gaps, especially add some content of self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

”

"I see", Maeda Xuan was in arrears, "It's the ministers who are too worried." ”

"Then, for this plan, I would like to ask His Highness Nei Ran to put forward your opinions for our reference and revision." Tianhai continued.

"There is one suggestion, and that is about the status of each sect," I smiled slightly, "In the plan, the Buddhism of the world is divided into three categories, one is the six sects of the southern capital of the Narakyo period, the second is the two sects of Shingon and Tendai of the Heiankyo period, and the third is the samurai Buddhism Zen sect since the Kamakura shogunate, the common people's Buddhism Lotus sect and the Pure Land Shin sect, this classification is very appropriate." However, why should the Dharma Sect be singled out? Since it is classified into one category, it is naturally one and the same, even if this sect is the head of the six sects of the Southern Capital, it cannot be an exception. ”

Tianhai looked at Tsutsui Shunkei who was present, and his face was a little strange: "The main mountain of the Hosho Sect is the Kofukuji Temple of Yamato Country. Since the establishment of the guardianship in the Kamakura period, the successive guardians of the Yamato Kingdom have been served by the two major guardians of Kofukuji Temple, the Ichijoin Tsutsui family and the Mahayana-in Furui-in family...... In view of this, the various systems of this sect must be distinguished from the other five sects, after all, it involves the dominion of the Yamato Kingdom. I shook my head, a look of disapproval on my face: "Since it is the Dharma of Buddhism, you cannot submit to the authority of the world. Otherwise, why would Oda Taimasa want to attack Koyasan? What about the nearly 200,000 existing stone temple leaders in the main mountain Genlai Temple of the Shinyi Shingon Sect? "Nowadays, all kinds of depraved acts of Buddhism are precisely due to the possession of a large number of temple leaders, so as to develop the habit of arrogance and luxury, and rely on force to disturb the world!"

These words are very reasonable, and even Tianhai has no way to refute them. Moreover, I remember that he had attacked Buddhism in the past, and now he has made concessions to the Tsutsui family, but it is only because the Tsutsui family has made great contributions, and it is just a number of daimyo under the command of the family.

"What His Highness has said is very true." , Tianhai really said so. However, Maeda Gen stopped with yù words, and couldn't help but set his eyes on Tsutsui Shunkei. And Tsutsui Shunqing was obviously very nervous, his face began to turn pale faintly, and he was not willing to express his approval, but he did not dare to open his mouth to argue with me.

"As for the Tsutsui family......," I pondered for a moment, turned my head to Tsutsui Shunkei and asked, "Except for the temple territories such as Koyasan, Todai-ji, Yakushi-ji, Horyu-ji, and Kasuga Taisha, the total stone height of Yamato Province is more than 300,000 stones, and some of them have not been sealed, so they belong to the direct leaders of the Oda family and the Yura family, right?" "Exactly. Listening to me ask him about the stone height he matched, Tsutsui Shunqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then how about asking the Tsutsui family to receive the Dan bō Ichikoku and continue as a secular daimyō? The territory of the Dan Bō Kingdom is close to 300,000 koku, which is slightly more than your current territory, as compensation to you," I smiled at him, "I won't tell you the truth, in view of the 100-year movement in Kinai, except for the mother family of the Forget-Worry Temple, who was in charge of the Shogunate and the Imperial Court, Yu did not plan to leave any daimyo of more than 50,000 koku, and the Tsutsui family was the only special case in this. I've said it to this extent, what else does the Tsutsui family have to say? Compared with the transfer of the Iga country in history, this is already a great favor, and since the Tsutsui family can submit to Hideyoshi, there is no reason not to accept my leniency.

"Thank you for the kindness of Your Highness the Inner Palace, and Your Majesty respectfully accepts the seal." , Tsutsui Shunkei replied with a bow.

"Hmm", I nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask Tianhai, "In addition, in the plan, the two sects of Mantra and Tiantai are the heads of all the sects, I don't know what the reason is?" "Returning to His Royal Highness Zuofu, the two sects of Shingon and Tiantai are the legal systems handed down by the master of the Dharma and the master of the mission, and they are in charge of the two holy places of Koyasan and Hisansansan, and their status is above the other sects............ Now that Buddhism has degenerated, disturbing the world, it is just expounding the legacy of the two masters and recreating a pure and quiet Buddhism. Amami replied.

"You said this to Master Kakuka, who was saddened by the fall of Koyasan, and also left Koyasan to create the Neraiji lineage of Shinyo Shingon sect...... However, now, Genraiji Temple is more like Koyasan? Not only did he not set things right, but he also raised a huge force far beyond Koyasan, and interfered in the affairs of Kinai, which was even more excessive than Koyasan and Hi*san. I retorted disappreciatively.

"Since His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion is determined to solve the problem of the temple leader, then there is nothing to worry about" Tianhai calmly argued, "The head of Kongomine Temple of Shingon Sect Koyasan, the elder of Toji Temple of Kyoto Kyowang Gokokuji Temple, and the master of Enryakuji Temple of Mt. Hiei of Tendai Sect, after all, it is a tradition that has lasted for nearly a thousand years@.
