This summer, Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna tried his best to kill the main rebel forces such as Hatakeyama Harutoshi, Onkai Suki, Onai Tsunada, and Miyake Toshikyo, but as a result, several fish such as Onai Takake, Miyake Keifu, and Miyake Tsunahisa fled to Kaga with the remnants of the army to join Kaga Ichijo, and with the support of Kaga's Ichijo army, Noto's form became very critical.

Hearing the general explanation, Kira Yoshishi knew that even if Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna had the heart to stare at Echichu, in fact, he was not able to continue to operate, and the governor of the Hatakeyama family had to fight fiercely for the power of the governor and the retainers of the lineage, and it was not easy for this governor to be it, and it didn't matter if he mentioned in the letter that the Ashikaga clan helped each other or something, but it was really sincere to see that the people sent Echichu Bai over and had such a good service attitude, and it was inevitable that he would be criticized for asking for this part. Maybe the strategy in Hokururiku will be hindered by their family in the future.

However, he knew that this was just a proxy war, and Kaga had never sent a large army, just because he was worried that all the original neutrals would fall to the other side, and of course he couldn't easily send the main army, otherwise Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna might think about it afterwards, and besides, his strategic goal was not to be able to get to a country, so he couldn't be held back by this little thing.

So he ordered Shiina Yasuyin, who had just made a lot of achievements in the pacification of Vietnam, to lead the army to the rescue, how can Shiina Yasuyin be regarded as a retainer of the Noto Hatakeyama family, and the guardian generation of the Shinkawa County of Echichu obtained by the Shiina family was given by the Noto Hatakeyama family, anyway, the clan Kawachi Hatakeyama clan claimed that after the death of the Hatakeyama governor, they fell into a situation that was difficult to protect, and it was logical to belong to the Noto Hatakeyama family.

With some of the influence of Yasuyin Shiina in the Noto Hatakeyama family, it was possible to take advantage of the Kami-Onkai clan to raise troops and lose his territory and flee to Echichu for refuge. Let them fight to regain the lost collar. The name of the Tsukai clan and the Miyake clan colluded with Kaga Ichijo Sect to fight. Even if you can't achieve the results of the battle, you can count as fulfilling the responsibility of rescue.

……

The arrival of the first month of the second year of Yongroku added a bit of joy to the Echigo Snow Country, the first month has not passed, Ii Naotora and Numata Sandalwood have entered the due date, and it is even more coincidental that Ii Naotora entered the delivery room in the morning, and Numata Sandalwood was also carried into the delivery room in the afternoon with abdominal pain, fortunately, Kira Yoshi, who was already the father of a child, was not so calm as last time, so I still remember that I was tired of standing and sat in the courtyard of the palace to rest and wait for news.

It's much better to have the first experience, and not long after Numata Sandalwood entered the delivery room, a loud cry came from Naotoko Ii's delivery room. The midwife shouted excitedly: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Lord of the Town!" It's a boy! Another sturdy son! Tiger Yuqian was in very good health, but he was mentally exhausted and had fallen asleep at this time. ”

"Good! Very good! Enjoy! Tell the maid inside to be gentle and not disturb her rest. Kira Yoshishi breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't care if Naohu gave birth to a boy or a girl, there were no special requests except for the eldest son, as long as Naohu and the child were safe.

He knew very well that Naohu was under a lot of pressure, although Naohu had never shown panic to him, but how could he not understand the thoughts of this little woman, his adoptive father Imagawa Yoshimoto, and his own father Ii Naomori both died in the barrel. She was worried that Kira Yoshitoshi would think that her usefulness would disappear, so her attitude towards her changed radically. Just like many samurai families who have left or even abandoned their fate because of the loss of value of Masamuro, such as the demon king and the turtle who have not yet happened to their own knotted wife.

Kira Yoshitoki stood in the palace and looked at the delivery room quietly, and suddenly said after a while: "Pass the order, the tiger is treated differently, take good care of me!" If there is any need to send someone to the rest of the newspaper here as soon as possible, and then someone will send an additional handmaiden who is clever and obedient to serve the tiger emperor, and all those stupid maids will be sent away. ”

"Yes!" Several female officials were also shocked when they heard this order, and they looked at each other and thought carefully about whether they had offended the tiger emperor before, and it seemed that they would flatter this lady in the future.

The baby was born, but the struggle in the other delivery room was not over, and it was not until near the evening that the baby's cry came from the delivery room, and the midwife ran out excitedly and said, "It's a boy!" Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Lord of the Town, what a double happiness! The lady and the child are safe! ”

"Another boy? Good! Very good! Hurry up and check it out! Ji Liang Yishi suddenly cried and laughed, although it is good to give birth to a boy, but one or two are always boys, it is not good, his original intention is to have a girl more pleasing, but the child can not be changed when it is born, and it can't be blamed for Sandalwood's belly being too competitive to give birth to a boy, right? In that case, wouldn't he, a husband, be very unskilled?

The formation of the two side rooms is much smaller, there is no bell on the mountain, there is no celebration in the castle town, even the spring mountain castle is quiet, Numata Mitsukan can also summon a group of daughters and sons-in-law to have a tea party and the like to congratulate his daughter, and there are only two or three maids to accompany her.

Jing Yi Zhihu woke up at night, and saw that there were only a few maids waiting for her heart, and she was most worried that her husband had changed his mind, but the face was not able to expose this little bit of thought, and only she knew the sad taste in her heart after a few months of forced smiles.

Zhihu was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that his flesh and blood relatives just fainted after a quick glance, and hurriedly shouted: "Where is my child? I'm going to see my baby! Where's the nurse? I want to meet her! ”

At this time, the paper door between the sides was gently pushed open, and Kira Yoshitoki held a small futon and said softly: "Shhh Our child is sleeping to see if she's cute. ”

"Your Highness!" Zhihu was about to get up in surprise, and several maids hurriedly held her body, and she remembered that she had just given birth to a child, and her whole body was weak and sour and couldn't lift her strength.

Ji Liang Yoshishi scolded softly: "You and I were originally husband and wife, and now you have a great achievement for Yu to give birth to an heir, why do you have to make a sincere and fearful look before Yu Huanxi is too late!" Hurry up and lie down so that you don't freeze, and you can't get out of the room for a month, but you have to keep in mind! If you freeze your body, how can you give more children for the rest of your life? ”

"Your Highness......" Zhihu looked at him excitedly and excitedly, and for a while, a thousand words poured into his heart.

Kira gently dispersed the maids, and the nurse carefully carried the sleeping baby to rest in another room. I leaned lightly on the bed and kissed her forehead. In a very gentle tone, he said, "The child is asleep now. You're also very sleepy, so let's see it tomorrow! Yu will talk to you and wait for you to sleep before leaving. ”

"His Highness is really kind to his concubines...... The concubine thought it was ...... Thought you ......"

Gently tucked away her messy hair, and then said softly: "Little fool, why do you think Yu deliberately asked you to make a side room?" That Imagawa clan is a nobleman and there are a few people who can enter the eyes of Yu, Yu never cares about this paper covenant and doesn't care about the life and death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the only one you like is you! You are the only one in the Imagawa family who is Yu Huanxi's person, and it is too late for Yu to love Xiao Hu, so how can you snub Yu Xiao Hu because of the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto? ”

Hearing the nickname of Ji Liang Yoshishi evoking the pleasure in the boudoir, Naohu Xiu buried his head in his arms. With tears in her eyes, she said: "The concubine is a fool, the concubine is a fool, the concubine has been worried about His Highness not wanting a concubine for so many days and nights, but the concubine is too stupid and misunderstood His Highness." ”

"It's not Xiao Ahu's fault, it's actually Yu's mistake, it's really Yu's carelessness, I've been ignoring Xiao Ahu's delicate thoughts, and when Yu notices the change, it's almost the due date, and the emotional ups and downs will affect the safety of you and your child. Yu Cai endured until this moment to tell you......

In the future, you must keep it in mind, and it is only right to serve Yu and give birth to more children. The rest of Hugh should think more and Hugh should listen more, then Imagawa Yoshimoto will die if he dies, but it has nothing to do with Xiao Ahu, you must remember that you are only the wife of my Ashikaga Kamizaburo now, and the biological mother of my child, as for the rest, it doesn't matter, understand? ”

"Yes! The concubines must be kept in mind. Zhihu's face showed a faint joy and peace of mind, the two talked for a while, and it didn't take long for Zhihu to put down his mind and fight with sleepy eyes, and Kira Yoshishi saw the situation and invited the maid to serve her to eat some soup, and then served her to sleep, until Zhihu fell asleep with a quiet expression and left quietly.

That night, he went to visit Sandalwood, who had just given birth to a child, but her body was not as tough as Tiger Ji and Zhihu, and it took a lot of energy for the firstborn child to be born, so he was still asleep when he came.

Giving birth to a child is like a war, not only women have to fight a war, men also have to shoulder great mental pressure, the next morning he got up early to visit the three ladies and three healthy boys, the service level of the three is infinitely close to his class as the governor, in his eyes to give birth to a child is merit must be taken seriously, both men and women are the same.

The three children's food and clothing to toys and gifts are all allowed to be used after his eyes, too small things can not be afraid of the child to take it into the mouth, there are sharp things can not have, even how long the child has to sleep a day, when to wake up, when to feed, when to take care of the bowel movement, this New Year's month around the three pairs of mother and daughter, other things do not care, even the Zhengdan court meeting is a hasty deal with the matter.

Princess Aya admired what he did, and pulled Ah Ju to sigh that it would not be so difficult for her husband to be so careful and thoughtful, Ah Ju smiled and said: "Although my Royal Highness is a little careless, but since pregnancy to the birth of the child, he is also very serious and positive, but Ah Ju is too angry to give birth to two daughters at once, so that His Royal Highness has been embarrassed for the child for a long time." ”

Princess Aya held Aju's slender hand, shook her head lightly and smiled, "Don't say that!" The two daughters in front of the chrysanthemum were born with a beautiful face and moon appearance, and they are two blessed little princesses! When she was born, she became the daughter of the Ashikaga family, and she made a marriage with my family's Umatsu and the little mage of the Suyoshi family, which is a blessing that other samurai can't envy. ”

"It's all stained with His Highness's light, Aju is very grateful to His Highness! Ah Ju will go to Miaokakuji Temple every month to offer incense and pray for His Royal Highness and a few royal fronts! Aju recited the "Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai Wish Merit Sutra" piously, praying for peace and health for the family is the most mainstream and purest idea since ancient times, so from the imperial court shogunate to the people, the worship of Medicine Buddha who can eliminate the suffering of the world is highly consistent.

Soon after the birth of the child, Kira Yoshitoki announced that the two children's baby names were Tiger Chiyo and Matsu Chiyo, and the second son born to Naotoro Ii was Tiger Chiyo. The third son born to Numata Sandalwood was Matsuchiyo. Give the Zhenwang Pill that the Kira family has used for generations to his son-in-law. The two concubines naturally want to change their young names, and they can't use the names of Wan Song Pill and Wan Zhu Pill, and using this name instead of Wan Song Pill is to not let the two children have a distinction between high and low reputations.

And his brother Yoshian Kira has given birth to a son-in-law named Wanchimaru in April of the first year of Yongroku, and it is very inappropriate to change the name, so he simply uses his brother-in-law Uesugi Masator's Tiger Chiyo, which happens to correspond to the "tiger" of Ii Naotora to celebrate a festive time, and the other Matsuchiyo is also a different machine, from the "pine" in Wanmatsu Maru out of Matsuchiyo, and the special name represents a special meaning. is worthy of the hard work of two women giving birth to a child for him.

It wasn't until the end of the first month that the news of the re-establishment of the Tenmuro Mitsuyu, who was the abbot of Leengenji Temple in Kakizaki Castle, relieved Kira Yoshitoki from the gentle village, and remembered the unfinished conversation in the castle tower a few months ago, and Kira Yoshitoki always had a feeling of inexplicability in his heart, so he found Uesugi Masatora to talk about his thoughts again.

When I came to the castle tower, I saw Uesugi Masahu with a tired look of being dusty, and when I saw Kira Yoshishi, I knew his intention, and sighed and said: "The teacher has sat down, there are only Qingyan Temple and a few elders in this world, and in retrospect, this life is really like a shuttle, many years ago I was a small novice in Linquan Temple." The lord of Echigo is still my wise and martial brother, and everything is like a cloud of smoke in a blink of an eye. ”

Kira Yoshishi picked up the celadon teapot and poured him a cup of tea and pushed it over. He poured himself another cup, took a sip of it, and said, "Brother, let's talk about the past!" Yu Zhen is very curious about this cultivation path and his brother's thoughts, not only for Ah Lang, but also to know something, maybe he can mention it in the history books in the future. ”

"I don't think about the history books, if you are willing to listen to it, then I will talk about it!" Uesugi Masatori smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and slowly talked about his past.

The young Echigo dragon has been quietly spent in the Kasuga mountain castle, until the difficult victory of the one-third of the original battle can not change everything, the Echigo people entered the stage of "concerted rebellion", the Fuchu Nagao family's dominance over Echigo has been greatly weakened, it is because of this great change that changed his voice, it was that year that the generation of heroes Nagao retired for Jingyin, that is, that year he was sent to the Rinsen Temple as a small novice.

From the moment he entered the Ryashisenji Temple, his life went on a different path, Echigo's continuous wars, the one-by-one departure of a genealogy and the desolation left by his father's death with hatred seven years later all had a huge impact on the young long-tailed tiger Chiyo, his mother chose to cut her hair as a nun after his father's death, and lived this life with the green lantern ancient Buddha, his homeland Kasuga Yamajo was taken by the betrayal of Kuroda Hidetada, the old Kuroda of the family of the Pedigree family, and the two elder brothers were in different places in that raid.

He had a very bad time in the Linquan Temple, because of the decay of the family business, so that the family's offerings to the Bodhi Temple of the Nagao family were intermittent, and they had to starve without food, and they could only wear short monk's robes in the cold night without clothes, and in order to let a few apprentices eat and have clothes to wear, they could only take more than 20 people in the temple to make their fortunes around, and occasionally some martial artists died and their relatives could also take the opportunity to eat a few meals of white rice, and this kind of difficult days had a great impact on his young life, It was those years of hardship that shaped his tenacious and indomitable character.

Speaking of that difficult past, even Uesugi Masatora couldn't help but sigh: "When I first approached the Rice Rope Authority, I heard the monks who came to the Rice Rope near Sekigawa to mention the god who could make people invincible, and heard those monks from Shinano describe the divine power of the Rice Rope Authority, so I wrote down this paragraph deeply, and when I returned to the mountains to ask the master, I learned that he had a fellow disciple who happened to be proficient in the cultivation of the Tao at the Tailian Gate of Tochio Zuirin Temple. So I went to Tochio and practiced the Tao of Meditation under the door of Tailian Mencha......"

Born in the first year of the Bunkame, twenty-nine years older than him, he was born in Takada, at the age of nine as a disciple of Seirin Temple, he went out of the same sect as Tenmuro Mitsuyu, and then went to various countries to practice the way of Shugenji until he was thirty-eight years old before returning to Seirin Temple as an abbot.

It is said that Shugendo originally originated in the Nara period, and the Kaizu was a very famous sorcerer in the Nara period, Kokaku, and this school began to prevail after the Heian period, and was gradually improved under the influence of Kukai and the most clear Tantra, until the late Kamakura period, the Northern and Southern Dynasties established their own beliefs, and the Muromachi period was mainly divided into the Sanhoin stream of the Shingon lineage and the Shogoin stream of the Tendai lineage, and the relationship between the basic tantra was very much behind, so it is also regarded as a sect of orthodox Buddhism.

The so-called Yamabushi monks are worthy of these ascetics, they shuttle through the mountains of Haguro in Dewa, Mt. Iinerope in Shinano, Daisen in Hakugi Province and the Yoshino Mountains in Nara in September every year, and there are many Yamabushi monks who travel in groups as if they experience life, they wear a cypress hat on their heads, hold a tin staff, carry a box, step on the eight-eyed straw sandals and do not forget to bring firewood to defend themselves, and each Yamabushi monk has a conch around his neck, and he expresses his different message by blowing out different sounds.

Although Tailian Mencha is a Zen monk of the Caodong sect with Tianmuro Guangyu, but because he is proficient in the way of mountain cultivation, he always has a fascinating sense of mystery on his body. (To be continued......)

PS: Not many people have paid attention to the black history of JJ's youth, everyone knows that Nobunaga is the leader of the sect that killed Matt, Shingen is an expert in the foundation, Yoshimoto is a little monk in Kyoto, and Shikang is a decent heir, but I don't know that JJ's boyhood was more miserable than every one of them, he is not the heir of the family governor, he has to face the extremely chaotic Echigo and the difficult life of hunger and hunger, and it is precisely because of this life that there is the later Echigo Dragon.
