It is no secret that the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Ashikaga Yoshitoki is not very harmonious, since the Kyoto turmoil, the trend of the shogunate's decline has become more and more obvious, but the influence of the Kanto Princesses has been rising with the phased victory of the Oshu War, this contrast between the opposite and the positive and the falling and the rising made some samurai very unhappy, and the responsibility for the defeat in Kyoto was also blamed on the unfavorable support of Ashikaga Yoshitoki, and the cumulative number of factors made the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiki and Ashikaga Yoshitoki worse and worse.

Harumitsu Odate retired to Otsu Castle to retire, Ise Sadashi, the widow of Ise Sadataka, launched a strong challenge to the deacon of the government office, the authority of Settsu Harumon, the new deacon supported by the shogun, continued to decline, and the retainers of the lineage such as Hosokawa Terutsune, Isshiki Fujinaga, Mibuchi Fujiei, Hitoki Yoshimasa, and Hatakeyama Naomi retained a deep prejudice against the Kanto Princess, and the internal voices of the shogunate were far more balanced than relied on in Kanto.

This is not good news, the unfriendly attitude of the shogunate made the Kanto Ashikaga family a little confused, Ashikaga Yoshiteru is a right minister who has a considerable say in the imperial court, and he chooses to suppress Ashikaga Yoshitoki instead of relying on it, which has a very negative impact on the ministers of Konoe Maehisa and the Middle Court.

It is said that the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Konoe Maehisa was gradually estranged, and when he talked to the shogunate in private, he regretted giving Ashikaga Yoshitoki the title of Kanto Prince, and you can imagine what it would be like to say this to Ashikaga Yoshito's ears when it reached Ashikaga Yoshiki through the ninjas.

Hattori was not a shogunate, he did not feel the need to be responsible for the safety of the shogunate, and the safety of the Nijo Imperial Palace depended on the duties of the lords above the shogunate's temples, not the responsibility of a penniless low-level samurai like him. The shogunate didn't give him a reward, so why did he give him his life. The attitude of Hattori Hocho represents precisely the will unleashed by the entire Kanto samurai collective.

Even if he is as strong as Ashikaga Yoshito, he must accept the demands of the retainers collectively. The Kwantung samurai, especially the Mikawa samurai and Echigo samurai who experienced the early wars, had very big opinions on the shogunate government, and they could not get recognition and rewards for the shogunate's birth and death, and they also had to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks about their actions in the Kanto, and those waste wood shoguns couldn't beat the Miyoshi family, so they blamed the unfavorable support of the Kanto government and made the shogunate embarrassed, and this bastard logic didn't know how many Kanto samurai rolled their eyes.

You must know that in this era, tears are not believed, and there is no saying that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and the husband is responsible for the rise and fall. Doesn't it imply that the public in the hall has no talent and no virtue, and they have to bear as much responsibility as they have as much ability, and they will be ridiculed for shirking responsibility in a high position.

……

Otsu Castle is located at the southernmost tip of Lake Biwa, where the scenery is beautiful and pleasant, and it is a place where literati and scholars stop.

The prosperity of Omi Province does not depend on the prosperity of Sakamoto's commerce, the prosperity of Katata's handicraft industry, the large number of townspeople, and the new brand of Otsu, a livable city, as if Kyoto is prosperous when you think of Kinai. The vitality of Sakai Town, Otsu's city card is livable.

Imagine that there is a famous temple of Tiantai sect adjacent to the religious holy places Enryakuji Temple, Yuancheng Temple, Xijiao Temple and so on. The garden city, which is only a stone's throw away from Kyoto and Sakamoto, and which can be reached in less than half a day by boat, will attract many people who want to live in Kinai, hence the saying that the three Omi cities are the three pearls of Lake Biwa.

On this day, the tea people from Sakai Town, Sen no Rikyu, Imai Munehisa, and Tsuda Munege visited the town and held a small tea party in the Yashiki of Odate Harumitsu, and about twenty or thirty people participated in the tea party, who came from three religions and nine streams, but they all had extraordinary skills.

For example, the Sakai Town, a family of medical officials who are also known as the saints of medicine, wrote the 30 volumes of the "Medical Heart Prescription", and was given by the emperor for healing the Emperor Shokinmachi, and the three Daisuke Hanai Mizuze of the Imperial Palace, the Sakai Town Ikebana Sacred Temi Ami, who compiled the "Twenty Strips of Flowers", and the first Sakai town to build the Sakai tube, Tachibana Matatsu Santa, who was once exiled to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the famous musician Kion Kinoya, who was treated favorably by the Ryukyu King Shoma, gathered together.

The tea masters of Sakai Town are extraordinary, not as elegant as Ashikaga Yoshitoki thinks, they pay attention to the tranquility and nature of tea tasting, living in a semi-closed tea room with a bouquet of flowers, boiling water can be a kettle, but this tea party is not a three-person or two people living in a secret room, it is inevitable to change the rules.

Tsuda Zonghe sighed: "The pearl patriarch once said, tea is the most taboo self-mastery and self-grasping, see the ability to jealous of the view of the person who has been contemptuous, this matter can not be there, see the ability to admire the near admiration of its talent after seeing their own must be fully coordinated, I think so!" ”

Hanjing Ruize nodded and said: "The tea ceremony is based on the harmony of heaven and earth, which is the custom of governing the world and the country, and people today use it as a medium to invite guests and friends, the pleasure of eating and drinking, the desire of the stomach and the beauty of the tea room, and the collection of treasures to praise themselves and skillfully mock people for stupidity, are not the original intention of the tea ceremony." ”

Imai Sohisa said with a smile: "The ancestor Shaoou often said, build a small room under the bamboo shade tree, store spring water, plant plants and trees, hang charcoal in the kettle, arrange flowers and prepare tea sets, move mountains and rivers and natural water stones in one room, enjoy the four seasons of wind and flowers, snow and moon, feel the prosperity and decline of plants and trees, and listen to the pine wind in the kettle with courtesy, and forget the worries and distractions of the world, a spoonful of trickling water washes away the dust in the heart, it is really a fairyland on earth!" ”

Daguan Qingguang shook his head and smiled: ""The Burrow" said, there is no white ding in talking and laughing, there is no white Ding in Confucianism, you can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra, there is no silk and bamboo, there is no silk and bamboo, there is no case and no labor shape, Nanyang Zhuge Luxi Shuzi Cloud Pavilion, Confucius Yun: What is ugly? ”

Everyone laughed happily, and Qianli Xiu said: "I thought that one of the ways of tea could be summed up in four words, and I respected Qingqing. ”

Zen monk Bazhang Sect forbearance: "What is the solution? ”

Sen no Rikyu looked at the quiet and elegant landscape in the courtyard, and said lightly: "Respect is the foundation of courtesy, and its use is precious, this is the words of Confucius for the ceremony, and the heart of the tea ceremony!" Even if there are sons and nobles to sit, their friends are indifferent and have no obsequiology, even if the younger generations come to the table. They are also respectful and do not slack off. This is said to be something in the air. Harmony without flowing for a long time, the smile of the Ka Ye Zeng Zi is one of the promises, it is really like the meaning of the mystery, which cannot be said! ”

"Myoya!" Wuye Shaoou high apprentice, Sen no Rikyu junior brother Tsuji Genya praised: "Build a tea room to prepare tea utensils and ring taboo beauty, although the heart of ancient tools is always new, always do not forget the scenery of the four o'clock, remember not to be flattering, not greedy and not luxurious, cautious, simple and upright is for the tea ceremony!" So. Then appreciate the harmony of heaven and earth, move mountains, rivers, wood and stones by the fireside, and the five elements are ready! Draw the flowing water of heaven and earth and taste the flavor, magnificent! Lotte neutralizes the air for the tea ceremony! ”

The tea ceremony is both Zen and Zen, and the name of drinking tea is actually meditation, so this has a name for the way of Zen tea, and Sen no Rikyu said: "The utensils of Zen tea, not beautiful utensils, not treasures, not ancient utensils, with a pure heart as a tool, this pure heart as a tool is the tea of the Zen machine." Regardless of whether the utensils are good or bad, cut off good and evil opinions. Seek the purity of reality in your own heart. ”

The Zen tea vessel is an extraordinary vulgar utensil and comes from the pure and natural heart, the name of this heart is called Yuanxu, which means that the wisdom of perfection is like the void shining on everything, and it is appropriate to fit the Buddha's meaning of perfection, such as the Buddha in the "Altar Sutra" recorded by the six ancestors Huineng: "The wisdom of the large round mirror is pure, the wisdom of equality is disease-free, and the wisdom of the wonderful observation is not successful, and the wisdom of the circle mirror is made." ”

Imai Sohisa said happily: "The vessel of one heart is not made of human pottery, the vessel of heaven and earth, the natural vessel of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and the hundred worlds are as full as a reason, so all things in heaven and earth are pure tea vessels with reality, which is the natural vessel of heaven and earth!" ”

The sky is high and the earth is thick, so it carries all things and accommodates all things, the sky is far away and the earth is wide, so let the birds fly and the fish jump, such as the rising sun in the east and gradually turning west, such as the revival of all things in spring, the leaves fall and bear fruit in autumn, such as the scorching heat in summer and the severe cold in winter, this is the avenue of heaven and earth is the reality of the reality of the law, and it can also be called the Buddha mind of the void spirit, not knowing the truth of heaven and nature, and with a shallow understanding of all kinds of delusions, this will cover the truth as the spiritual light.

For a long time, I put my hands together and said: "The line of all things does not give birth to the heart of wanting to do, if it is born, the heart will stop at its things, so it should have nothing to live and give birth to its heart, if it stops in the place where the heart is born, the hand will not work, if the line will stop there, the heart will be born at the same time and not only everywhere for the celebrities of the Tao said, stop the heart from attachment to reincarnation, stop the heart for life and death, look at the flowers and red leaves and green and see the heart of the flowers and red leaves and green and see the heart of the flowers and red leaves and green but not only the flowers and red leaves and green!" ”

"The World-Honored One said, the world is not the world, it is the world of names, sentient beings are not sentient beings, it is sentient beings, the dust is not the motes, it is the motes, and all the dharmas are not as they see, nor are they empty." The Tsuda sect ends with the Buddha verse of the Diamond Sutra.

A tea party half a day of leisure guests and hosts to enjoy the joy, the guests to taste tea and Zen to also leisurely, do not feel the evening sunset before each do to clean up and disperse, when the moon is in the middle of the sky, the Tai Kwun Qingguang and Tsuda Munewa sit opposite each other in the tea room, but there is no afternoon talk and laughter at all.

Oguan Qingguang is over seventy years old, and his snow-white long eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked with a serious expression: "How is the situation in the high house hall?" ”

"Turtle shrinks and Kii is fighting for trapped beasts." Tsuda Sokazu sighed: "Since the Yukawa Minbu Shaofu Hall was killed in battle, and the two thousand remnants of the Yasumi Misaku Moriden were evacuated into Kii, the situation has been getting worse and worse. ”

Odate Harumitsu frowned and said, "If it weren't for the Battle of Kumeda, why would this be the case, and the Miyoshi family would not have been murderous for a while." ”

Tsuda Sokazu comforted: "Speaking of which, you can't blame Takayaden for being unfavorable, the Battle of Kumida is directly related to the commotion in Kyoto, if it weren't for the great power of the Miyoshi Repair Temple, the powerful daimyo of Kinai would not act rashly." ”

"It makes a lot of sense, the commotion in Kyoto is too surprising, because of His Royal Highness's reckless decision to marry a daughter, which made the Miyoshi repair doctor family feel humiliated, and then caused the Miyoshi army to raid Kyoto to contain the shogunate, which led to a great reduction in the prestige of the shogunate, disappointed the world's heroes and made the Miyoshi family gradually disrespectful." Odate Harumitsu smiled helplessly.

In the fourth year of Eiroku before the Kyoto riots, Harumitsu Odate retired from the shogunate due to ill health, and vacated his senior position in the public to his son-in-law Odate Hiruko, while he himself spent his quiet old age in a quiet and elegant courtyard in Otsu Castle with his long-standing friendship with the Kanto Prince.

In the past few years, he didn't have to worry about the trivial affairs of the shogunate, and he often interacted with the tea people in Sakai Town, which also made Odate Harumitsu feel very good, and Hani Ruize, who served as the imperial physician of the Heavenly Emperor, personally took his pulse and treated him, so that most of the accumulated disadvantages of years of depression were removed, except that he was slightly old and much tougher than ten years ago.

Odate Harumitsu's influence on Ashikaga Yoshiki has been reduced to a dispensable level, and the entire process of the Kyoto riots was arbitrary by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and even if it caused the riots, it still said that this was a countermeasure to get rid of the clamp of the Miyoshi family. To get rid of the bondage of a potential enemy. And take the initiative to send yourself to the enemy and clamp it down by force. The so-called lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot is a person like him.

Odate Harumitsu sighed: "The shogunate chess is a bad move, so that the Miyoshi Repair Hall accidentally won Kyoto and its power has soared, which has led to some changes in the political climate in Kinai, and the most significant change is that the Hosokawa Ukyo Doctor's Palace, which has no sense of existence in recent years, died depressed in Yodo Castle for many years, and His Royal Highness did not appoint a new leader, which opened a misfortune. ”

The so-called Hosokawa Ukyo Doctor is the puppet leader of the Hosokawa clan, and this gentleman was also a complacent Shangluo back then. Knocked back to Settsu by Ashikaga Yoshitoki with a stick, he was forgotten in the corner by Miyoshi Chokei, this forgetting is that no one cares about it for nearly ten years, and finally survived to the Luozhong Battle to fight half of Kyoto, full of thought that he can go to Kyoto again to do his big dream of being a leader, Miyoshi Chokei is another stick on his head, and twists him to the Yodo Castle on the other side of Kamiryuji Castle to be claustrophobic on the other side of Kamiryuji Castle.

Slowly squeezing out the last vestiges of Hosokawa Tsunade in a prison career, the samurai who fell into despair died quietly in a palm-sized house in Yodo Castle, and his death did not cause any waves in Kyoto, from the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Miyoshi Chokei, to the common people of Kinai all faced the death of this non-existent ruler with an indifferent attitude. It is not a pity that the leader who did not spend a day in Kyoto died.

The death of Hosokawa Tsunade is not surprising in itself, but it is puzzling that the shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, had no intention of continuing to appoint the governor. Miyoshi Changqing was also not interested in supporting a puppet doll on the spot, and the two sides tacitly agreed not to mention the rule of appointing a leader, so the Muromachi shogunate entered the era of no leader.

"Does no management have such an impact?" Tsuda Munekazu rarely went to Kyoto, and his understanding of the political system of the shogunate was very shallow, so he asked suspiciously: "Didn't the Miyoshi Repair Hall control the abolition of the management leader?" Presumably, giving up an appointment shouldn't have much of an impact! ”

Odate Harumitsu said, "That's not the case, His Royal Highness doesn't know how much damage this will cause to the shogunate!" Without the management of the leadership will lose the barrier of checks and balances, breaking the existing balance system will bring unimaginable disasters, the Miyoshi family has not been able to fall in recent years because of the negligence of His Royal Highness the Gongfang, the battle of Kumida, the battle of Kyokoji Temple are the direct feedback of this hidden danger. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"This is the beginning of a misfortune, just like the first half of the general started the deposed general's abuse, making the abolition of the general in charge become the norm......" Speaking of this, Odate Harimitsu vaguely skipped the embarrassing history and continued: "Miyoshi repaired the palace of the palace Rakukyoto abolished the ruler in order to establish the hegemony over the control of the Kinai, and the indiscriminate opening of the abolition of the ruler, Hosokawa Ukyo's reply was casually claustrophobic in Yodo Castle shows that this normalcy is gradually deteriorating, and now the absence of a ruler means that the speed of deterioration is accelerating. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru did not realize how much harm the shogunate would bring to the shogunate, the three and four positions of the shogunate had long lost the importance of the establishment of the year, and there was a short-lived vacancy in the Warring States period, that is, there were several families competing for the leadership, one of which did not have the advantage to the extent of obtaining the leadership, as long as the traditional inertia was still there, the samurai's natural sense of awe for the shogunate was still there, and the tiger did not fall to the end of the frame There was still a residual power to deter the small people.

The absence of a ruler means that the tradition of the shogunate is disappearing, the authority of the shogunate is quietly disintegrating, the three stewards and four positions of the current dynasty can no longer exist, whether the shogun can cease to exist tomorrow, the world cannot live without someone, and the sun will rise the next day.

Tsuda Soge is also a person who understands, and the mystery of it is just the loss of awe, and if you lose the leader today, you will lose the general tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow the world will be able to stir up the sparse mess, and since then the samurai have no difference between the upper and lower levels, and the order and law of thousands of years have collapsed and collapsed, that is, it is difficult to say whether the emperor who is known as the first line of the world will be pulled off the horse, in short, it can be summarized by whether the country will not be the country.

"There can be no chaos in this world, there can be no chaos in the world, and there can be no chaos in the thousand-year-old legal order of our country." Tsuda said: "The opinions of the people of Sakai Town are consistent, and even the people of Settsu, Izumi, Awa, and Sanuki under the Miyoshi family will never dare to do anything rebellious. ”

After a long time, Qingtong pushed open the door and stepped into the quiet room to sit down, just before he was busy arranging the room for the guests attending the meeting, only to hear this sentence without beginning and end, and said: "The world has been in turmoil for a hundred years, and it is not a temporary matter for life to be ruined." ”

Tsuda Munekazu also didn't care about Odate Harumitsu's face, and said bluntly: "This is different, in the past, the chaos was the loss of the authority of the shogunate, and it was controlled by the stewards of the Ashikaga family, but now the rebellion began with the absence of a ruler by His Royal Highness the Prince, and then caused the continuous war in the Kinai to have the opportunity for the Miyoshi family to dominate, and the death of the Miyoshi repair hall has caused new turmoil, and it is very likely that the shogunate will be knocked to the ground by the three of Miyoshi's nonsense, and the consequences of such chaos are unimaginable!" ”

"Is it because of the Miyoshi family?" Jiu I Qingtong raised his eyebrows and said: "The three good families have lost their governors, and they are already in chaos." (To be continued......)

PS: The names of the people seen in the article are all contained in historical materials, and the first medical officer with the highest prestige in Kyoto is the Hani family, and the second is the Yamashina family, and the reputation of the so-called medical saints Nagata Tokumoto and Qu Naase Michizo was not the highest in that era, and the reason why they are revered as medical saints is mostly because of the prestige spread all over the world by the disciples and disciples.
