Chapter 175: Miaoyun Temple is completed

At the beginning of July, Kira Yoshitoki received a beautiful invitation from the middle house, the marriage ceremony between the middle court and Kuga Yokoko will be officially held on August 22, and the invitation is accompanied by a letterhead, the letter is the handwritten letter of his aunt Fang Yutai, as the daughter of the Sanjo Nishiya, she has an extraordinary attainment in Sinology and songs, and is not even inferior to his brother Sanjo Nishimimi.

Zhanxin is really extraordinary, the font is good-looking, and the wording is also smooth, and it is really the daughter of the famous Sanjo West family, Kira Yoshishi sighed and admired, the approximate meaning of the letter is that his uncle still supports him, and it is okay to be close to the shogunate, but you must carefully grasp the direction, and at the same time hope that he will come to the house of the middle courtyard more often.

On July 10, Myounji Temple was completed, as the only temple in the Katata area, his completion put great pressure on the stubborn resistance of the Kenta people, and on the day of the completion of Myounji Temple, Kira Yoshitoki announced in a high-profile manner that the Bodhi Temple of the Kira family in Kyoto would be relocated to Omi Myounji Temple, and at the same time, the high monk Nozomi was invited from Kyoto Myoshin Temple to attend.

As an opportunity for many years of old friends to return to as the abbot, Xiyun Xuanmi also presented five manuscripts of Buddhist scriptures, a pair of sandalwood prayer beads, and Kuaikawa Shaoxi presided over the opening ceremony of the day as the founder of the mountain.

As the founder of the foundation, Kira Yoshitoki presented 2,000 pieces of Yongle money on the spot, and according to the tradition of Kaiji, he sent 20 cherished Buddhist scriptures of the Heian period and 100 Buddhist scriptures of the Kamakura period to Myounji Temple, and sent more than 300 copies of various scriptures repeated by the Kira family to Myounji Temple, and also gave a number of sandalwood, 20 catties of lamp oil, 500 stones of rice, and 1,000 sets of clothes and bast shoes.

Enshrine a statue of Buddha Buddha in the Shakyamuni Temple, this is the Buddha statue enshrined by the Lord of Miaoyun Temple, and build a Guanyin Hall in the West Courtyard, which enshrines the statue of the Bodhisattva of the Ruyi Wheel of Guanyin, which is the same as the Miyoji Temple of the Three Rivers, the Ruyi Wheel Guanyin symbolizes the mourning of the deceased female relatives, so it is worshiped by many believers, and the East Courtyard builds a medicine hall, which enshrines the statue of the Buddha of the King of Liuliguang, praying for the health of the sick qi is also the most important thing for the believers, so the three halls of the Miaoyun Temple have been built one after another.

In addition, there are also many buildings such as the Imperial Shadow Hall, the Lecture Hall, the Dharma Transmission Hall, the Bell Tower, the Taigu Gate, the Tai Xuanguan, the Three-Storied Tower, the Golden Hall, the Canteen, etc., the temple also builds the Mi Xiang Yuan, Chongfu Temple, Anzen Temple, Fudo Temple, Ring Altar Courtyard and other towers, covers an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, there is a gate in the east, west, north and south, the temple wall is high and deep, there is a hole in the inside, the scale is grand, the facilities are complete, and even surpass the Yuancheng Temple of the Tiantai Temple.

With such a scale and the opening of the mountain, the temple became a veritable first-rate temple in Omi, and Kira Yoshitoki promised Myounji Temple 100 kan of Yongle money and 200 koku of grain every quarter, so that Kuaikawa Shoki could study Buddhism without plowing the fields.

Perhaps from the point of view of scale and monks, it is not comparable with the total mountain and the main mountain such as Enryakuji Temple and Yuancheng Temple, but this emerging Buddhist temple has used many new building techniques, and under the painstaking management of Kuaikawa Shaoxi for three months, thousands of believers gathered as soon as the foundation was opened, which made the temple glow with prosperity inside and outside, and even Master Xiyun Xuanmi also expressed his appreciation for Miaoyun Temple, and later learned from the conversation that this master and Kuaikawa Shaoxi had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship.

At the end of July, the important ministers of the Imagawa family sent an envoy to Sakamoto, and this time the envoy was still the acquaintance Sekiguchi Qinaga, and he gave Imagawa Yoshimoto a gift to Kira Yoshitoki, Hanshu, Waka collection, tea utensils, flutes, zheng, famous horses, strong bows, famous knives and other miscellaneous things were given a little bit, which looked very inconspicuous, but if it was converted into copper coins, it would take thousands of kan to get it.

Kira Yoshitoki warmly entertained Sekiguchi and his party, and invited them to rest in the newly established residence outside Sakamoto Castle, Sekiguchi Shinei was very interested in the newly built Sakamoto Town, especially after hearing about the Rakushi Order, he couldn't sit still and went to see the situation, just arrived in Sakamoto Town was frightened by the lively and prosperous scene, no one would have thought that this castle town had never existed two years ago.

Sekiguchi kinei visited Sakamoto town while complimenting the strength of the Kira family, and when he came to Sakamoto Castle, Kira Yoshitoki put forward the hope that the Imagawa family would enhance the influence of the Misho Ankoku Zen Temple, and invited the apprentices of Taiyuan Yuizai to come to Nishimikawa to preach, and this request was naturally agreed by Sekiguchi kinaga.

Kira Yoshitoki has always been worried about the power of the Ichijo sect in Mikawa, and he is determined to use the power of the Imagawa family to suppress the influence of the Ichijo sect of Hato, Bihai, and the three counties of Eda, and at the same time he is worried that Sekiguchi Shinei will agree to be too happy and not to do anything, so he wrote to Kira Yoshiyasu, hoping that he would take the initiative to invite Taiyuan Xuezhai's apprentice to come to Mikawa to teach the Fa.

At the same time, he also gave advice to Kira Yoshiyasu, and asked him to invite retainers, wealthy families, and landlords in batches in the name of the Kira family to worship the Buddha at the Kira Family Shrine and the 15th of each month, and to expand the Monzen Town of the Shrine in the name of the Kira family, and to slowly weaken the influence of the temple.

In this way, even if the Honshoji Temple, Upper Palace Temple, and Katsuji Temple knew that this was against them, these monks of the Kinji sect did not dare to act rashly, because the power of the Myosinji sect in the Mikawa country was also not weak, and it was all over, and the Miaoshinji faction group in Tokaido and even the whole of Japan was even more behemothic, although it was not as belligerent as the Tsuyoji sect, but once they were provoked, the warriors of the Myoshinji sect in would make a fuss, and they were afraid that Ishiyama Honganji would not be able to keep it.

He can be sure that Taiyuan Xuezhai, who is also from the Miaoxin Temple faction, will never sit idly by, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is from the Miaoxin Temple faction, can also not sit by, if the Sanhe Sanji Temple really does not dare to do anything to the Mixiang An Guozen Temple, no matter what the final result is, Taiyuan Xuezhai will bring the army of the Imagawa family to avenge his junior brothers and apprentices, of course, Imagawa Yoshimoto will not object to this, because he himself is also from the Miaoxin Temple, and the master is still Taiyuan Xuezhai, the origin of this is too deep, and laymen don't know it at all.

In July, new news came from Kanto, since the end of spring sowing in March, the entire Kanto region fell into a new war, Hojo Shiyasu wanted to recapture the lost territory of Musashi, and the southern Kanto coalition army on the opposite side was unwilling to make a comeback, this time facing the 35,000 army forces of the Kanto samurai led by the Kanto samurai such as Satomi, Ota, Chiba, Satake, Oda, Yuuki, and Masatoya, and the forces of the 35,000 armies of the countries of Shimo, Anbo, and Hitachi.

In order to fight against the army of Kanto, this time the Hojo clan Yasuto led 12,000 people out of Edo Castle, and the two sides confronted each other on both sides of the Arakawa River east of Edo Castle.
