Chapter 574: Father and Son Ask Right
In the late autumn of September, the maple trees in the garden are red like a burning fire, the sassy autumn wind blows into the porch, the wind chimes sway and make a crisp sound, and the bell can be faintly heard in the far distance in the courtyard, everyone who comes here will taste a similar feeling, that is the wonderful power of tranquility and tranquility, and the power of relaxation of people's body and mind.
This is Ashikaga Yoshitoki's favorite season, because he likes autumn leaf trees, likes to see the beautiful scenery full of fire, which is very in line with the mentality of the samurai of the time, even if he is immersed in the thousands of miles of battlefield, he still maintains the quiet and peace of his heart at all times, even if the sword and axe are deepened, and in the eyes of the samurai, life and death are sometimes as heavy as Mount Tai, and sometimes they are lighter than a feather.
In waka songs, there is often lament that the days of spring and autumn are running out, and the pursuit of freedom and freedom in the tea ceremony, the belief in the gods and Buddhas pursued by the samurai and the eventual success of the gods, and the dashing farewell sentences before death, etc., all fit with this beauty, and a sage wrote hundreds of years later: "Life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves." ”
It is precisely in line with the samurai spirit of this era, it is not the sick spirit that is affected by the dross, the pursuit of the samurai is not yet the gorgeous cherry blossoms, not the pursuit of a moment of magnificent glory such as a meteor across the night sky, what they are chasing is to endure humiliation and bear the burden of fighting life, once the world knows the merits, the ancient Ashikaga Honshi, the present Mori Yuan is one of the representatives, the gorgeous autumn leaves, the most suitable for the time when the merit blossoms and bears fruit.
Just after noon, the father and son sat opposite each other in the spacious study, Ashikaga Yoshitoki held a purple sand teapot and poured a cup of clear tea, and said softly: "How is your homework lately, what have you learned?" Let's talk about it. ”
Ashikaga Zhenomaru bowed. said: "The child listened to Master Tianhai tell the story of the Tang Kingdom. Among them, it is said that Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty, the wise and powerful is called the Heavenly Khan, the great emperor who created the rule of Zhenguan, but he lived so bleakly in his later years, the child was puzzled, I don't know if the father can know the reason? ”
"Why did Tianhai tell you such a deep story......" Ashikaga Yoshitoki frowned slightly, and instantly understood what the monk was planning, and said secretly: "This is to make a silent admonition through the mouth of Zhenwang Maru." Li Shimin's experience from the past cannot be guarded against, he is really a cunning monk......"
Ashikaga Yoshitoki said: "The story of Tang Taizong is too complicated, it is not something you can understand at the moment, and you will gradually understand it after studying hard." ”
"Yes! The child still has a question. ”
Ashikaga Yoshitoki raised his glass and sipped lightly, tasting the faint aroma of the tea, and said, "If you have any questions, just say it." ”
Ashikaga Zhenomaru said, "The child doesn't understand what his father prayed for at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine. With the prosperity of my Kanto Ashikaga family, it shouldn't be difficult to go to Luo, but why does my father want to live at this time? ”
"Who said this to you? Tianhai? ”
Ashikaga Zhenomaru said with an unchanged face: "This is the child who came up with it himself." ”
"Huh...... At a young age, you learned to play tricks with your father? It's okay if you don't want to say it. Ashikaga Yoshitoki shook his head and chuckled, "Do you remember your question just now?" The reason why Tang Taizong's later years were bleak was that he was unorthodox and unorthodox at the beginning. Then it was reflected in the repeated rebellion of his children, and Yu had no intention of acting at this moment. It's just a general who doesn't want to be in a bad position, understand? ”
Ashikaga Zhenomaru said suddenly: "...... The child probably got it! Father wants to be a righteous general, not a general who relies on strong authority to force the world's martial artists and make them reluctant to approve, right? ”
Ashikaga Yoshitoki shook his head with a smile: "Not all right, Yu is justified in ruling fifteen countries today, why can't he rule sixty-six countries in the future?" After all, today is different from the situation of two hundred years ago, and everything must be prepared in order to be achieved overnight, the former has already been prepared, and the latter's preparation is not mature for the time being, but it is almost ready......"
Ashikaga Zhenwang Maru saluted respectfully and said, "The child understands, the child still has homework to complete, so he will retire first." ”
"Well, Zhenwangmaru has been interested in Zhu Zixue recently?"
"Yes! The child heard that it was the study of the saints, so he ......"
Ashikaga Yoshitoki said slowly: "Don't look at the Confucianism pseudo-science, the whole article is demagogic, there is only one saint in the world, Confucius, Yasheng Mencius, Zhu Xi is a literati in the Song Dynasty, at that time, the atmosphere in the literary world gradually changed, not like when I noted the Six Classics, but changed to the prevailing Six Classics Note me, its meaning is to explain the meaning of the Six Classics in the words of a family, if it is not enshrined by the Ming Confucianism, it is just that, now it has become the sage doctrine of the Ming Kingdom, and it has been misinterpreted by the Confucian scholars into a nonsense full of outline and dogma. ”
"But the child has seen some of it, and it seems to make sense......
Ashikaga Yoshitoki shook his head and said: "There are thousands of avenues in the world, how can the wisdom of the Buddha be half a point inferior to him, it is not surprising that Zhu Zixue expounded on some avenues, don't be gullible because of the truth contained in them, some truths seem to be perfect, but in fact they are out of reality, you must remember that the more beautiful things in this event, the more false they are, such as the flower in the mirror." ”
Ashikaga Zhenomaru said cautiously: "Father-sama seems to hate Zhu Zixue. ”
"It's very annoying, because Zhu Zixue's emphasis on the Three Principles and Five Constants conflicts with my samurai's system of imperial grace and dedication, and derives a more sensitive question, whether the samurai are loyal to the general or the emperor." Ashikaga Yoshitoki said solemnly: "Who does Zhenomaru think the samurai should be loyal to? ”
"You should be loyal to the general! The pillar of the samurai family, the world's first martial arts family, seems to be the title given to Hachiman Taro by the emperor back then. ”
A faint smile appeared on Ashikaga Yoshitoki's face: "That's right, you can recognize this fact that your mind is still very clear, but some people can't see through and think that they can become famous by serving the emperor, such as Nitta Yoshisada and Kusunoki Masari are examples of this, Zhu Zixue will still have such a samurai scum, if there are Zhu Zixue's three outlines and five constants, loyal to the monarch and patriotic remarks, what kind of thing does Zhenwang Maru think this kind of person will do?" ”
"Children don't know ......"
"My ancestor of the Hanoi Genji is the king of Jingji, and the document has a saying: the ancestors are new, their ancestors are Jingji, their ancestors are Prince Zhenchun, and their ancestors are Qing and the emperor...... Zhenwang Pill can be known, how many aliases does my Hanoi Genji have? ”
Ashikaga Zhenomaru bowed down and replied, "The samurai Genji, the Kanto Genji, and the Genji." ”
Ashikaga Yoshitoki laughed and said, "So there was no general in the Genpei era. There are only Genji pillars. Or it's right to call the pillars of the Yuan family. The samurai Genji is the imperial court's praise for my Hanoi Genji, and the Kanto Genji is named after the first nine years and the three-year battle, the ancestor Hachimantaro Hall took root in the Kanto region, and the samurai all over the world are looking forward to my Genji, and the glorious achievements of the right general to establish the Kamakura shogunate in the later Genpei era, so what is the significance of advocating loyalty and patriotism to my Genji? Let the world's martial artists be loyal to whose king and whose country do they love? ”
Ashikaga Zhenomaru was puzzled, and with his wisdom he couldn't solve such a complex problem for the time being. Ashikaga Yoshitoki would not tell him how much disaster the introduction of Zhu Zixue would bring to Japan, and it could be called a disaster in another time and space, and the etiquette program often seemed so picturesque that the Tokugawa family also vigorously developed, and the result was a wonderful Tokugawa Mitsuki that was not encountered in a hundred years.
This man of culture, who had an incomparably outstanding literary talent, was not wrong in terms of his personal character and deeds, and was even far better than his contemporaries, and devoted his life to summing up the gains and losses of his predecessors, and did one thing in addition to compiling history books, that is, to vigorously develop Zhu Zixue and advocate the idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. As a result, the Mito Domain, one of the three dignified imperial families, became the base camp of the anti-Tokugawa shogunate for various reasons.
Generations of people loyal to the emperor regarded the Tokugawa shogun as an enemy. They criticized the Tokugawa family from the standpoint of completely detaching themselves from their own class, of course, this is also directly related to the Tokugawa family's "Forbidden and Public Laws", it is not new to treat the emperor as a puppet, what is fresh is that the Tokugawa family does not follow the rules, and prefers to stipulate what the court can and cannot do, and if it does not follow him, it will be punished.
Not only that, but also harsh treatment of the imperial court, a Tsinghua family only gave a few hundred Shi Lu Gao is not even as good as a high family flag, it is like a way to treat the famous ministers, so that the emperor and the ministers in the court hate the Tokugawa family to the core, compared to the source Yoritomo in Kyoto after meeting Shirakawain eight times, the Muromachi shogun and the imperial court are really different.
After the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, on the basis of Zhu Zixue, another strange thing was gradually elaborated called "Imperial Historical View", the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and the initial emphasis on this argument was the "Orthodox Records of the God Emperor" by the minister of the Southern Dynasty, Kitabatake Qinfang, which was actually a personal summary made by Kitabatake Qinfang during the period of stubborn resistance in Hitachi Province after the failure of the Jianwu New Deal.
This gentleman firmly believes that the emperor is the master of the eternal lineage, and the world should be in charge of the Regent family and their Murakami Genji, as for the samurai, it is better to return to the previous era of ignorant turtles, but it is a pity that his set of theories is not as good as waste paper for the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and without the Ashikaga Zun clan, there will be no imperial family of the Northern Dynasty to practice as the emperor from generation to generation, and completely depose the embarrassment of the two unifications.
And the origin of this Kitabatake family room is very interesting, the direct ancestor of Kitabatake Kinabato Kinabato who was a counselor at the time of Ashikaga Yoshito, his son is the Hokahata family of the famous side, relying on being a close minister of Emperor Go-Daigo, and jumping to the position of a quasi-minister with the background of an underground family, of course he has to shout for Emperor Go-Daigo's policy.
Without the authority of Emperor Go-Daigo, his close minister is obviously nothing, and the ministers of the Southern Dynasty are basically divided into families, such as Konoe Jingzhong, and the Kitabatake family is similar, the descendants of the Murakami Genji are the Jiu I family, and the tributary of the Genji is the Middle House family, and then the derived is the Kitabatake family, and even the Habayashi family is not mixed with the family, and the one who is embarrassed to be named his quasi-minister is the commander of the Emperor Go-Daigo.
The emperor's intermittent mania was not a day or two, and the Chengjiu Rebellion fell once, and Emperor Gotoba felt that Minamoto Yoritomo was in the same line, and the Hojo family and the imperial family were opposed to each other was a good opportunity, so he launched the war of the Shogunate and almost lost all his family funds, and 3,000 manors were confiscated in one go, and a large area of Kinai and Western countries, which was not under the jurisdiction of the Kamakura shogunate, was also included in the hands of the shogunate, and the Hojo family exiled three emperors in one go, which was a tragic failure.
To the Muromachi shogunate Ashikaga shogun's family was very smart, reusing the Hino family, a close confidant of the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and also set up a temporary official position of the samurai family to lead the party, and since then almost every generation of shoguns has been associated with the daughter of the Hino family, and the rank of the shogun has become higher and higher, until Ashikaga Yoshimitsu reaches its peak, which is the glory of the Ashikaga family and the glory of the pillars of the Gen family.
But at the end of the shogunate in another time and space, there were "people with lofty ideals" who believed that the first three generations of the Ashikaga family were traitors and had to be pulled out and beheaded, but what if all three of them had been dead for hundreds of years? Then simply pull out the wooden statues that have been enshrined by the Ashikaga shogun's family in Kyoto, and cut off the heads of Ashikaga Sonji, Ashikaga Yoshitsune, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and it will become a sensational event.
Reflecting the nature of these "aspirants" who bully the soft and fear the hard, they dare not tear down the Toshogu Palace all over the place, so they take out their anger at the Ashikaga shogun's family, which has been dead for hundreds of years, and probably can say with a shy face that the Ashikaga clan is more disrespectful to the emperor than Tokugawa Ieyasu, as if it was the Ashikaga clan that destroyed the new policy of Jianwu, not the arrogance and arrogance of Emperor Go-Daigo.
This ugly farce and the subsequent distorted social form of Japan, the starting point is in Zhu Zixue, Yangmingxue Daxing, such as "Ye Yin" this distorted imperial grace to serve the original intention, advocating like the leaf shade of a tree, in a place that people can't see, sacrificing one's life for the monarch, the combination of the two to achieve the later absurd bushido, encouraging death to encourage loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, of course, the dregs of the general must be kicked away, the source of the Yi family, the source of the Yori dynasty are all old antiques, the samurai such backward things of the era must also be completely abolished.
The absurd bushido, the crazy and sick samurai society, the stupid and arrogant Tokugawa shogun, all of these things are like pictures, and Ashikaga Yoshitoki's mind is constantly spinning, whether it is for the interests of his own class or the experience of many years, such crazy things do not allow such crazy things to happen.
Ashikaga Yoshitoki gently walked to Ashikaga Zhenomaru's side and squatted down gently, raised his hand to press his immature shoulder, and said softly: "Zhenwangmaru must remember that your future is the pillar of the Gen family, and the millions of soldiers under your command, the general of Zhengyi, who commands hundreds of millions of people, don't betray yourself, betray everything you have and be proud of for a book, a set of theories, and don't betray your ancestors, you carry the pride of my Genji on your shoulders!" ”
"Yes! Remember, child! Ashikaga Zhenomaru nodded seriously, and said after a while: "Then how will the child face those literati in the future?" ”
"Don't pay attention to them, the communication between cultural people is arbitrary, as long as you remember that the martial arts don't get involved, you can't make waves with them."
Seeing the departing figure of Ashikaga Zhenomaru, Ashikaga Yoshitoki chuckled and said: "At the beginning, Yu also left his hometown with a dream of revitalizing the samurai family at his age, and after so many years, Zhenwang Maru has changed from a baby to an adult, and Yu can no longer restrain him like before, and let him know something in advance, and it is good to hold a yuan service ceremony for him next year......"
