Chapter 11: The Three Rivers Sect
"The reminder of the hall owner is very timely, and the ministers have also noticed that there are a lot of disciples of the Ichizong among the people, and the influence of Kaga has always been really bad, so the ministers invited the senior monks of the Misho An Guo Temple to be achilight**, and the response to the current situation is good." Kansuke Yamamoto brings the topic to the issue of samurai faith, which is also the main concern of Kira Manmatsumaru.
The Mikawa Country Ichijang sect is replacing the original Rinzai sect and Shingon sect in the country's religious status, and has gradually become the largest sectarian force in the country, and the worst thing is that the Mikawa Ichijo sect has the support of the Ise Nagashima Ichijang sect, and is not afraid of the local people at all, even the Kira family only maintains a superficial politeness, and has never stopped privately soliciting believers in Hatado County.
There are three sub-temples in Mikawa's Ichijo Temple, namely Honshoji Temple, Kaminomiya Temple, and Katsukuji Temple, also known as Mikawa Three Temples, among which Nishi-Mikawa Honshoji Temple is less than two miles away from the Kira family (1 li is equal to 3.927 kilometers), just between Saijo Castle and Ansho Castle, and it has a huge influence at the junction of Hato-gun, Bikai-gun, and Eda-gun.
In order to eliminate the adverse effects of the Ichijo sect on the Kira family, Kira Manmatsumaru has been working hard to curb the infiltration of the temple into the Hatado Prefecture, inviting the Nishiyama sect to extend the three or five times in Saijo Castle for the countrymen**, and encouraging all the monks of the Misho An Kokuzen Temple to go out to frequent activities in Nishimikawa, which is basically similar to Yamamoto Kansuke's practice, each reciting each family sutra to see who is the most capable.
These actions have aroused a certain vigilance of the temple, but because of the special status of the temple and the Bodhi temple of the Kira family, the temple is revered, so the temple is more restrained and has no radical actions at present.
"If you are loyal to the family, you must make sure that the influence of the Ichizong is eliminated, and I will go over to see it when I have time, and as for the changes in the Imagawa family, please mention it at the evaluation meeting of the master craftsman!" Kira Manmatsumaru's face turned solemn, and Kansuke Yamamoto nodded lightly.
Since the beginning of the summer of this year, in, the Eguchi Battle that decided the ownership of the hegemony in, the head of the family of Hosokawa Harumoto, Miyoshi Nagakei, led his brother to defeat his own uncle Miyoshi Masacho into the Taoist Sozo, and sent the main Hosokawa Harumoto and the great imperial residence Ashikaga Yoshiharu, and the new general Ashikaga Yoshito to Sakamoto Summer Resort for vacation.
At the beginning of July, Miyoshi Chokei led a large army to Luo, he first sent his retainers to Kyoto to levy 600 pieces of land money, in order to declare the Miyoshi family's dominance over Kyoto, and then supported the puppet Hosokawa clan as the new leader, Miyoshi Nagakei personally served as the leader of the agency, successfully got rid of the master-slave relationship with Hosokawa Harumoto, established the hegemony of the Miyoshi family over the Kinai, and since the end of the battle of the Relic Temple,, which had been stable for two years, fell into new turmoil.
Kansuke Yamamoto quickly got up and retired when he had something to do, and Kira Manmatsumimaru sat there, still worried about the future of the Kira family: "The Imagawa family still did it, I thought there would be a few years of buffer, it seems that I am still too naΓ―ve...... Damn it! My life has just begun! Do you want to end with pathos? God has given me a useful body, carrying the hope of reviving the ancestral industry, and I am really unwilling to sit still! β
Irritably, he walked to the porch and saw that the people on the side had finished today's class, and the worries in his heart were very annoyed, and he tried to cheer himself up: "Everyone is working hard, I should also do something, I can't give up life because of the threat of the Imagawa family, God gave me such an opportunity, it's not for waste!" β
After a while, Yamaoka Zenjiro's voice came from a distance: "Lord Pavilion! The harness is ready for you, are you still riding out for a walk today? β
"Huh? Go! Of course go! Go now! "Kira Manmatsumaru left Yamaoka Zenjiro and strode to the stables of Nimaru, there was already a small surname who led the horse out of place and waited, and twenty horseback warriors also sat next to the Ascending Horse Stone and waited, and the horse warriors were waiting for dispatch at any time in rotation every day, which was the rule of the Kira family.
Kira Manmatsumu turned over and got on his horse with the assistance of the small surname, and then rushed down the three pills with a whistle, and ran away through the big hand gate, and the horse samurai also followed closely after him, which made Yamaoka Zenjiro anxious, and led his mount to hurriedly turn over on the horse, and shouted while galloping: "Lord of the museum!" Wait for me! β
Leaving Saijo Castle Kira Manmatsu Maru along the Yasaka River to the north, stopping at the horse on a hill near Honshoji Temple, the current head of Honshoji Temple, the Master Kusaki is the grandson of the Eighth Renru of Honganji Temple, he has been jumping up and down in Hatazu County for several years, and what is worse is that he seems to want to take the Kira family as the main target for raiding, Honganji Kuomu himself once unscrupulously in and out of Saijo Castle, if it weren't for Kira Manmatsumaru saying that he would be mourning for three years and not talking about the sect as a reason, he would still rely on Saijo Castle to not leave.
Although he was unable to win over the governor of the Kira family, the Venerable Master did not give up because of this, and every once in a while he went to the vicinity of Saijo Castle to preach the Buddhism of the Ichijo Clan, and it was very unpleasant to be like a leper dog who could not be provoked, so there was a matter of inviting the Nishiyama Sect to preach Buddhism for the wealthy family.
Standing on the hill and looking at the monmae town of Honshoji Temple, Zhuan Yan caught a glimpse of the Mayu samurai looking intently at the prosperous scene of the monmae town one by one, as well as the faint sound of Sanskrit singing in the distance, Kira Manmatsumaru snorted coldly: "The Ichijo Sect has been denounced as a demon by the five mountains and five temples of Jinai, and this group of fools is still extremely devout to the Ichitsu Sect, it's ridiculous!" Not everyone is a monk with a shaved head, and there are a lot of fake and light in Honganji. β
Ignoring the expressions of the horses, Kira Manmatsumaru rode down the hill and headed northwest along the long slope, and Yamaoka Zenjiro hurriedly caught up, complaining that the owner of the hall was walking too fast, and his inferior horse did not look at the control, while reminding Kira Manmatsumaru to pay attention to safety, although the beasts on both sides of the road were cleared, but occasionally there were animals rushing out of the mountain forest.
"Zenjiro, you should think more about how to hone your swordsmanship when you have time to talk! Compared to your bowing skills, your swordsmanship is really unacceptable! Kira Manmatsu Pill was annoyed by him, so he exposed it on the spot, and hid what he said with a red face, he also knew that Kira Manmatsu Pill had no malicious intentions, and he didn't like the retainers to talk about seppuku at every turn, so he just laughed dryly and closed his mouth.
Kira Manmatsumari drooped his head and shook his head and walked forward leisurely, and it didn't take long for Zenjiro, who remembered to eat or not, to come over again, and talk to himself about the Gonzo of Mikawa Country next to him, and then somehow mentioned that Matsudaira Takechiyo, who was sold by Forty Kan, was betrayed by Toda Yasumitsu, a retainer of the Kira family, because he robbed and sold Matsudaira Takechiyo, who was originally going to be sent to Suruga, so Imagawa Yoshimoto sent troops to kill Tawara Castle before he was furious.
Toda Yasumitsu is Matsudaira Hirotada's father-in-law, but because he sold Matsudaira Hirotada's son and fell out with his son-in-law, and because he didn't greet the Kira family and acted without permission, he was refused assistance by the Kira family, so he was exterminated by the Imagawa family two years ago, and Toda Yaomitsu, who was passed on by Yoshiyao Yoshira, was also killed in battle, and the Tahara Toda clan perished, and the Toda clan was split into three branches that took refuge in the Imagawa clan, the Kira clan, and the Matsudaira clan.
"What is there to say about this, as an important minister of the family, he took it upon himself to join the Oda family, and then he was exterminated, and he can't blame others." Kira Manmatsumu was very dissatisfied, how could Zenjiro say this kind of ugly thing so blindly, didn't he know that the Kira family was embarrassed by the unfavorable control of the imperial retainers.
Yamaoka Zenjiro also seemed to sense that something was wrong and quickly closed his mouth, and it didn't take long for him to break the calm again, and he suddenly shouted, "Look at it's an eagle!" β
"What eagle?" Kira Manmatsu Maru looked up and saw a black eagle flying high in the blue sky, and the black eagle seemed to see a group of people and horses below, occasionally chirping twice and circling in circles in the sky.
Yamaoka Zenjiro took out his bow and shot at the black eagle, the black eagle seemed to be aware, and the wings spread dexterously to avoid the sharp arrow, while circling and roaring angrily, as if to condemn the archers below why they wanted to attack him, Yamaoka Zenjiro's face turned blue and was about to draw the bow and shoot again, when a sharp eagle whistle sounded in the woods, and the black eagle turned around and fell into the distant woods without looking back.
"Let's go! Check it out! Kira Manmatsumaru rushed into the woods first, and Yamaoka Zenjiro, who was left behind, shouted urgently, "Wait, Lord Pavilion!" Beware of the dangers of the woods! ββ
