Chapter 399: The Old Things of the Military God

When Tora Chiyo asked Tairen Moncha about the spiritual power of the rice rope power, Tairen Mencha smiled slightly and stared at him with eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world, until Tiger Chiyo was a little overwhelmed, and then said softly: "The poor monk is indeed very familiar with the power of the rice rope power, in fact, this rice rope authority is the Fudo Ming King who is the incarnation of the Great Day Nyorai, and it is only when he descends in Shinano Kunichi that he changes again into the image we see. ”

From the description of Tailian Mencha, he knew for the first time that this rice rope power is still the Buddha's incarnation, and the admiration in his heart has reached a higher level, and from the mouth of Tairen Mencha, he learned that the rice rope power in Togakure, Kosuga and other places is boundless, and all kinds of descriptions make Tiger Chiyo listen to it as if his eyes were fascinated, especially this rice rope right is now on Mt. Iirope across the mountain of Myoko, which can be said to be particularly exciting for Tiger Chiyo.

Legend has it that the founder of Mt. Ienawa was the lord of Hagino Castle in the Kamakura period, Ito Tadashiki, who was a very powerful master of Shugendo in his own right, and later promoted the prestige of Iikana Gonken under the name of Senri Taifu, and there are still traces of Senkaichi Taifu Yashiki on the way to the south of Mt. Ienawa.

Kira Yoshitoki listened for a while and still didn't know why, until he saw the portrait of Uesugi Masato's treasured rice rope authority, and the so-called Japanese gods, especially the gods known as Gongen, are usually composed of the merger of the images of several gods and Buddhas, among which the Rice Rope Gongen is more complicated, and it can be said that on the basis of the local Fudo Ming King, the images of Garuda (crow tengu), Tu Tatsu Niten's mount (fox), and Uga God (entangled snake) were added, which is clearly expressed in his portraits.

A Garuda holding a sword and a silk rope like the King of Fudo rode on the back of a fox whose limbs were wrapped in the posture of a snake. The right to rice rope will now be subject to the situation. Transform into Mori Chi Ten, Victorious Army Jizo, Three Treasures Aragami and so on. Among its various supernatural powers, especially in terms of victory, it has shown great mana, so it has become popular in this era.

The most urgent need of the young Tiger Chiyo is peace and stability, to restore order in Echigo and maintain the political status of the Fuchu Nagao family, all of which are inseparable from the strong powerlessness, his father is so strong because of the loss of the support of his allies that he won a difficult victory in the third of the war, as long as he can become an invincible samurai, he can regain the glory created by his father. This is the fundamental reason why Uesugi Masatora believes in the authority of Izura.

In fact, Takeda Shingen had a rice rope hall in the Kushigasakikan for practice, and in addition, his offerings to Koyasan contained an image of the rice rope authority, as well as a practice book of the "Rice Rope Law Order", and in addition, a monk from Toshigen in the Kanto region had moved the appearance of the rice rope power on Mt. Takao, so Hojo Shiyasu also protected the Takao Yakuo Hall.

However, the beliefs of the two of them are half-truths and half-truths, and it is better to believe that there is something or not, and the belief of Uesugi Masahu was very pious and serious, among which there is a "rice gang envoy" in the cultivation valve of the rice rope authority, and the cultivator of the rice rope seals the demonic beasts called "rice gang" or "pipe fox" in a bamboo tube, and carries them with them to drive them to do things in a low voice. It is said that Hosokawa Masamoto practiced this method, and he could use various "magic" in the void. It's just that his "magic" couldn't save his life, and the cultivator finally cultivated himself to death.

Tiger Chiyo did not encounter this situation at that time, Tairen Mencha was not one of the favored men beside Hosokawa Masamoto, although he encouraged the young Tiger Chiyo to establish a pious faith, but on the issue of obsession and sobriety, he still seriously admonished: "Even Zen, there is a kind of Zen disease, sometimes you see strange visions, sometimes you will be possessed by something, thinking that you have obtained the true transmission of the spell, in fact, those people are far from the true understanding, so the slightest carelessness of this kind of secret method will make people fall into the evil path, If the rice has just caused the evil way to flow, please be cautious. ”

It was precisely because of the timely information of Tailian Mencha that the young Tiger Chiyo did not fall astray, and under his teachings, he only focused on meditation and reciting mantras to strengthen his strong will, and he abandoned all kinds of practices that were painful to his mind and the crooked ways of evil demons, so that he was able to enter the achievement.

Speaking of this paragraph, Uesugi Masatora will inevitably boast about it, he blames his acumen and fruitfulness in decisive battles on his faith and perseverance, if it is just like this, it doesn't matter, but there is no limit to the practice of other precepts of this school, but there is one that must be abstained from sex like the precepts of Zen, otherwise the power of the authority of the rice rope will not work.

Kira Yoshitoki frowned and said, "So my brother wants to make a precept not to break in his life?" ”

"Yes, all contact with women should be avoided, astronomy twenty-one years I went to Luo, after meeting you in Kyoto, I traveled far away to Kinai, once when I visited Yamashina to enjoy the scenery, I met a young noble woman who blocked my way, saying that she admired my demeanor and intended to talk to a nearby temple, I saw that she behaved frivolously and sternly refused, and has always adhered to the precepts that were not committed, in addition to the five precepts that had to be broken, the other four precepts I still cling, and drinking was also quit."

Listening to Uesugi Masahu talk about what happened when he first entered the Linquan Temple, he once bumped into a Yunyu Sanfu who was staying overnight in the temple and secretly drank alcohol, and in the face of the still young Tiger Chiyo questioning, the dirty Yunyou Shanfu shook the empty wine bottle without shame, and said with a wine burp: "Drinking is actually not a big deal, women are the most terrible things in the world, do you understand?" ”

Tiger Chiyo shook his head in confusion, he had a mother and a sister who didn't understand what was terrible, and the wandering mountains staggered over, laughing and said: "The poor monk doesn't understand if he wants to come to the little novice, and the little novice doesn't go back to sleep?" Just tell you your adopted son who is so persistent! The most terrible thing about women is that they affect the minds of people outside us and others, and it is said that each of them is like a bodhisattva on the outside and a yaksha evil ghost on the inside, and even the master of the poor monk is very afraid of them when he mentions them! It is said that each of them has a spell that melts the hearts of the men. ”

At that time, Tiger Chiyo regarded him as a crazy monk, forgetting all these strange theories, and only vaguely remembering the words "melting the heart", so that whenever he met a woman, he would always think of this stubble for a long time and unforgettable. Kira Yoshitoki couldn't laugh bitterly when he heard this theory. Could this be the Japanese Sengoku version of "Women are Tigers"? It is estimated that the crazy monk has never touched a woman. That's why he gave the things that his master handed down, but he accidentally left some traces on Uesugi Masato's childhood.

Kira Yoshitoki didn't believe that this small psychological shadow would cause him to change his mentality, so he asked, "If it's just like this, my brother shouldn't be so persistent, right?" ”

"It's really not.,There's another thing that has a great impact on me.,I remember that it was still after I was still commonly known as Nagao Heisan Jinghu and went to Tochio City as the lord of the city.,In the first month of the sixteenth year of astronomy.,It happened to be that I returned to Kasuga Mountain Castle as the lord of Tochio City to meet my brother Qingjing.。 I was only seventeen years old at the time, and one day when I met my brother, I happened to meet my brother and the side room, and I had the heart to retreat......" Uesugi Masatora said a little upset.

It turned out that he had met Nagao Harukei in Kasuga Mountain Castle, but when he came to the castle tower, he saw Nagao Harukei actually doing that kind of thing with the side room, and when he saw him come in, not only did he not restrain himself, but he also pulled the side room out of the futon in front of him, and reached out to caress the fat peaks on his chest, while saying frivolous words to Nagao Keito.

The side room was not ashamed but proud, eating and laughing at the eyes waves, glancing at the stunned long-tailed Jinghu, twisting his body and throwing flattering eyes at him. also put his lips close to Nagao Harujing's mouth and kissed them together, and the two laughed and completely aroused Nagao Jinghu's anger. He had never seen such a shameless, self-respecting and self-loving woman, so he didn't care what Nagao Harukai said, and left angrily with a wave of his sleeves.

That night, the long-tailed Jinghu was drunk like mud, and in the cold moonlight, he remembered the wandering monk he had met a few years ago, and the alarmist words he had said resurfaced, recalling his brother's frivolous words and deeds when he was doing things with men and women in the side room, and actually doing such things in front of him, and his words and deeds were really heart-melting.

Who would have thought that the long-tail Qingjing, who was not very healthy, would waste a lot of the world between the beds, but the eldest son, who was a father, made such a self-deprecating and self-deprecating behavior, and then looked back at the long-tail Qingjing, he couldn't help but bring a compassionate look, and the pale and puffy face of the long-tail Qingjing precipitated a lingering gloom.

"At that time, I thought that women were really an unpredictable thing! There is such a lowly woman who can do that kind of thing in front of outsiders and flatter outsiders, I really can't imagine that all women in the world will behave like their brother's side room, and will their loving mother and dignified sister be like this? No! They wouldn't be like that! But if I'm like Ah Lang, wouldn't she mind doing such a thing? If she behaves like this, I'm really afraid that my spirit won't be able to bear it...... Since the gods and Buddhas have set up the five precepts and rules, and the permission of the rice rope also prohibits women, then I simply forbid him and don't touch them! ”

Uesugi Masatori picked up the rosary and gently recited the Buddha's name, with a solemn and serious expression, he saw that he really thought so, Kira Yoshitoki understood what this brother was doing, it turned out that there were too many shadows left by his youth, and he was a paranoid fanatic, so he simply persisted.

Staring at Uesugi Masahu for a long time, Kira Yoshishi sighed and said: "Brother is wrong to think so, men and women have sex is a human gift, if there is no such ceremony, there will be no heirs, brother sees that this heaven and earth are not yin and yang, animals must give birth to offspring, plants must bloom beautiful and fragrant flowers spread pollen and produce seeds, we human beings are the spirit of all things, and the same is true of the length of all things." ”

"Since the desire of humanity is only born for the succession of the lineage, in this case, why is my brother still obsessed with this, leaving my Changwei family's family business crisis unconcerned but doing such dirty things all day long, there is no decent good woman around my brother, I don't know how to self-esteem and self-love, I don't understand that a woman who is a martial artist should always admonish, but I make a disgusting expression at me, I have never seen such a cheap woman! Hum! A vicious anger in Uesugi Masato's chest finally came out, he has never told anyone what he has in his heart for so many years, it's not that he is closed in his heart, it's really inconvenient to say these words, those who are qualified to listen can't say it, and those who can listen are not qualified to listen to him.

If it weren't for Ji Liangyi, it wasn't for the fact that he had the same military strategy as himself, the vision and means of political strategy and resourcefulness were far beyond his imagination, and it was also the complex relationship between his sister-in-law and his subordinates, he would never pour out all these thoughts that had been sealed for many years.

Kira Yoshitoki understood his thoughts, but he had to continue to persuade him when the matter came. Patiently, he said: "It is not advisable to be obsessed with sexual affairs and abandon the obligation to be the governor of the household. But it should not be biased to think that such disgusting behavior between men and women is such a disgusting behavior. Qingyanin and my sister would be sad if they knew that you thought so. ”

"So I've never been in front of my mother and sister, after all, I'm no longer the Tiger Chiyo I used to be, and I don't want them to worry about this anymore......" Uesugi Masahu turned his face to him and said, "Today I just talk about family life, I'll be bigger, and I'll still call you righteous!" I hope you don't tell anyone these words, I will try my best to deal with Ah Lang's matter, originally I liked her to be paired with Chaoxin, but Chaoxin had to do it if he had a marriage. ”

Knowing that his eldest brother has already said this, if he wants to be a strong pair, he will not be able to write well. Just thinking of Tiger Ji's sigh and the figure of Ah Lang leaving, Kira Yoshishi decided to persuade one last time, and tried his best to persuade him: "Didn't my brother think about leaving a son and a half daughter to inherit the family lineage?" Yu Zhi has a way to get a child without letting his brother break the vows. ”

Uesugi Masato's face changed when he heard this, thinking that in order to persuade him to use the "magic" path similar to that taken by Hosokawa Masamoto, he persuaded bitterly: "I have not heard of the method of getting an heir if you are not close to a woman, such a method must be related to the way of evil and evil. ”

"Uh...... How could Yu touch those evil methods, but this method is just another way. Kira Yoshitoki shrugged helplessly to show his innocence.

"Regardless of whether this method is true or false, or whether it is evil or not, I will not try it, and there is no need to repeat this matter." Uesugi Masato recites Buddhist scriptures with his eyes closed. Ji Liangyi was still bored with himself after a while of hard persuasion, and was about to get up and leave when he stopped him and said, "The teacher has sat down." The nine masters of the Toru Sect who gave me the title of the law have also been seated, and I have no worries, and I am determined to go to Koyasan one day to concentrate on seeking the blessing of Bishamonten, bless me Echigo, bless the Kamiko Ashikaga family to be invincible, and the martial luck will last for a long time! ”

"Bishamontian, is my brother going to convert to Shingon Sect?" Kira Yoshishi's brows furrowed deeply, and he immediately said with a smile: "Yu understands, so let Yu go to Kyoto with a letter to invite a senior monk to teach his brother the Fa, and then invite a few statues of Bishamon from Koyasan Kongofeng Temple!" At present, the war is urgent, and it is not appropriate for the elder brother to leave for Kyoto, and Miyoshi Chokei will certainly not allow the elder brother to cross the border safely. ”

Uesugi Masahu didn't expect his attitude, and asked with some surprise: "Now that Jinghei is in the territory, it should be the time to diligently repair government affairs to appease the people, how can there be new actions this year?" ”

"Appeasing the people of the country and diligently cultivating internal affairs can start a war at the same time as the war, and the troubled times have not yet ended, and we cannot be rich for a while." Kira Yoshitoki stood up and walked to the terrace to open the paper door, the cold wind slipped in through the crack in the door, looked at the bleak and snow-white winter scenery under the city, and said lightly: "There are some things that must be done sooner or later, and it is time to deal with my brother's position as the head of the Kanto region, and the Uesugi family's family business in the Kanto region needs to be taken back by my brother." ”

At the end of the winter of this year, Katsuhime's letterhead was sent to Kasuga Mountain Castle, and the familiar Juanxiu handwriting was like a cheerful note representing the joy in the heart of the owner of the letter, and she happily told Kira Yoshishi in the letter that she would soon be promoted to an uncle, and when she wrote the letter, it was still the beginning of the first month, and the little life in her belly was almost seven months old, and she also congratulated Kira Yoshitoki on the birth of a son-in-law, and happily said that she was also an aunt's adult.

There is also a handwritten letter from the former heir of the guard, he wrote a straight line of pen walking dragon snake, similar to the royal body and unique to the style of everyone, Ji Liang Yoshishi admired these professional ministers of top culture very much, although he diligently practiced calligraphy quite gained, but compared to them all day long to splash ink on the secretary is a little worse.

In his letter, Konoe's former heir talked about the major events of the DPRK and China, including an example of exhorting Ashikaga Yoshiki to be hasty and patient, saying that the revival of the shogunate was a time when the prestige and grace of the daimyo of various countries would continue, and that such powerful people as Miyoshi Repair Doctor could allow him to take charge of the throne and recruit the promises of Kyoto's high-ranking officials to win the hearts of the people.

His Royal Highness the Princess's grace, if the Miyoshi repair doctor appreciates the favor of Luo Fenggong, it is naturally a great thing, if he is ill-intentioned and unwilling to enter Luo Fenggong, he will lose the confidence to control Kyoto, and next time he plans to carry out the decision of Shangluo to control Kyoto, I am afraid that he will have to recalculate and wait for the opportunity, which can give the shogunate a few more years of respite.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was very dissatisfied with the opinion of the former heir of Konoe, he felt that this view was too weak and unrealistic, and bluntly said that he had eight thousand tiger ben under his command to guard Jingluo. Tens of thousands of troops from Omi were deployed at any time. If the tens of thousands of troops of the Miyoshi repair doctor do not come, they will take it. If he dares to come and keep it, he will not return to Yunyun, and his words seem to take the merits of Kira Yoshishi to him, which will become the reason why he is wise and clear.

Konoe's exhortation not only did not succeed, but was persuaded by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, telling him that now that Miyoshi Repair Doctor has been defeated by the Shogunate twice, he has already been frightened, and if you look closely at the Miyoshi family's defeat of the Hatakeyama family, you can know that Miyoshi Repair Doctor's fear of the shogunate has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and now the prestige of the shogunate is very strong. Just be careful about the mountain castle.

Konoe was very disappointed with the shogunate and Ashikaga Yoshiki's statement, lamenting that the shogunate was in the ascendant but fell into complacency, it is said that he once compared himself to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the Nijo Imperial Palace, and there were only more than 10,000 people under the public during the strongest period of the shogunate, and now there are more than 8,000 people in the public army directly under the Nijo Imperial Palace, and he is not far from the goal of the Shikayuan Temple.

Kira Yoshitoki smiled lightly and mocked in a low voice, "Oh? Half of the Eight Thousand Tiger Benri are the ronins who beg for a living in Kyoto, and half of them are the Lang Party of the 36 families of Yamashiro Province, do you use these people to resist the elite division of Mitsuki? His Royal Highness is really ambitious. In comparison, Yu worked hard for several months on Kawanakajima to defeat the Takeda army, but it was much worse. Fortunately, His Royal Highness did not set up the great ambition of fighting the mountain castle and seizing the Settsu country, otherwise I would really have no place to be ashamed. ”

He still remembers the smash of the strong general, and he seems to be able to feel the pain in his forehead when he looks back on it occasionally after so many years, he has not suffered a trace of scars since he was a child, even if it was the assault of the battle of Kawanakajima, only the pride in his heart was shattered by the vase of the Nijo Imperial Palace, his oath and his support and loyalty were so cheap at that moment, the general's ingratitude was exposed at this moment, how can such a means not make people feel cold.

Thanks to that smash that woke him up, if he was still struggling with whether to be a loyal minister or a monarch before that, then there was no hesitation since then, the kindness between him and Ashikaga Yoshiki was all repaid, he didn't owe the shogunate or Ashikaga Yoshiki anything, and he respectfully offered gold, silver and copper coins every year just to buy a good reputation, as for being close to the shogunate, it was still not necessary, otherwise how could he not return to Kyoto in six years?

Konoe's former heir's lamentation is really regrettable, a sober-minded and ambitious minister of Sekihakuzuo, but he just met a shogunate who is ambitious and ambitious, and the two are brothers of two generations of in-laws, Konoe's former heir wants to do something for the shogunate and is not understood by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, always thinking that the minister is not strategic, but how do you know that you are smarter than others?

"But that's just right! Didn't His Highness do this to save me from hesitation? The Miyoshi family's choice to act on the Hatakeyama family in Hanoi is only premeditated, and defeating the country of Hanoi can not only eliminate a strong enemy in Kinai, but also serve as a military drill before Shangluo, such an obvious signal can be ignored by His Royal Highness the Shogunate, what should Yu say? Don't mention it! ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Kira Yoshitoki issued an edict to Omi Sakamoto, ordering Nakajo Tokihide and other generals to step up the formation and training of the army, which will soon come in handy, and Matsui Masayuki, Odate Haritada, and other officials to step up their infiltration of Kurita-gun to ensure that the new gun will be operated as a rock in two to three years, and must not be coveted by the Rokkaku family or other daimyos.

Behind this edict was passed to Hattori Shocho through the ninja army, and then passed on to Nakajo Tokihide, who carefully responded to the changes in Kinai, and if the shogunate was recruited, he could be ordered to go to Fushimi Mountain to station, and then make corresponding judgments according to the war situation, there was no hard and fast requirement for this, only one must protect Omi's main army from heavy damage.

Since the appearance of Kira Yoshishi made Miyoshi Changqing suffer two consecutive losses of underestimating the enemy's carelessness, this Miyoshi repair doctor forbearance for six years has not touched the fat of Kyoto again, and would rather be ridiculed by the world than insist on forbearance, this mind can be called the best in the world, he used six years of the world to re-establish the military service account, the establishment of the division of the country law to initially integrate the Miyoshi family into the Warring States Daimyo, his sister-in-law Miyoshi Yoshixing has become an adult, and now he has re-organized an elite division, when he shows his sharp fangs again, The curtain of war in Kinai will slowly open again. (To be continued......)

PS: There are some anecdotes about JJ, but there is such a saying, so I listen to it.
