The three counties of Uchi, Yoshino, and Uda in the southern part of Yamato Province are known as the three southern counties, and have always been the places where the Kofukuji sect is relatively weak, and Uchi County is the residence of the Futami clan, a descendant of the Yamato Genji, and the Yoshino County is a small-scale township party composed of the Maki clan, and there are the Sawa clan, the Akiyama clan, and the Yoshino clan in Uto-gun, which are called the three generals of Uto or the three members of Uto-kuto, respectively.

The Akiyama clan is the head of the Kobe Shrine in Kobe Township, Uto County, Ise Shrine Leader Yamato Province, and the shrine is an official of the shrine, and the Sawa clan is a native of Sawago, Uto Prefecture, and is said to be a descendant of the famous Fujiwara clan, and the Yoshino clan is a native of Yoshino Castle in Togo, Utuo Prefecture.

But the three generals of this Uto are not willing to obey the dispatch of Kofukuji, they quietly established a close relationship with the Ise Kitabatake family, and in the "Records of the Four Families of the Powerful People", it is recorded that "the three people of Utoshi Uto" are the powerful officials of the Kitabatake clan of the Ise State Division, and they are probably just like some daimyo with other people, and they are flattered on both sides.

Later, they were very active in the subordination of the southern dynasty, and in the "Taihei" Shinnan War, it was recorded that the Wada, Nan, Maki, Sawa, and Akiyama clans were subordinate to the Kusunoki side, and there were also records of the Yoshino clan, which shows that there was a group of samurai groups in this Yamato County who did not obey the shogunate and did not respect the orders of Kofukuji Temple, and these three families later fell into decline with the defeat of the Yamato Eternal Peace, and they belonged to another group of countrymen who were not very close to the Kofukuji officials.

"In the spring of this year, His Royal Highness Tsutsui, the lord of the country, went out to crusade against the three generals of Uto, and on the way the acne recurred and returned to the house, so ......"

"That's it! Say no more! Yamaoka Zenjiro impatiently interrupted the old man's tirade, turned his horse's head back to the team, and sneered: "The Tsutsui family claims to be the lord of the country? It's funny! ”

Shimazouchi rode with Takigawa Keijiro, raised his head and said, "His Royal Highness Tsutsui was originally the lord of the country!" It was His Royal Highness Ten Cities who gave up the position of Lord of the Kingdom to His Highness Tsutsui! You don't know, don't talk nonsense! Beware of being heard by the countrymen and cutting off your head. ”

After that, Takigawa Keijiro urged his mount to laugh and shouted, "The head is not protected, the head is not protected!" ”

Yamaoka Zenjiro was stunned as the two people's mounts quickly submerged into the team like rabbits, and gritted his teeth and said, "These little bastards! It's so hateful! I don't know how to respect my predecessors at all! It's so damning! ”

Timshi-gun is the core area of the Tsutsui family, and then to the east is Tamgami-gun, which is the core area of Kofuku-ji Temple, because Kofuku-ji Temple is also known as Nandu, so the seven towns in the county are also known as Nandu Shichigo, which are Nandaemun Township in the south of Kofukuji Temple, Kitamigomon Township in the north, Higashigomon-go-go-in the east, Nishi-gomon Township in the west, and Anaguchi Township and Bukai Gomon Township in the west, and Shinyakushiji Township in the southeast.

Kofukuji also controls the Kasuga Shrine, and the priests of the shrine are all served by monks, speaking of which, the four gods of Kasuga enshrined in the Kasuga Taisha Shrine are also the guardian saints of the Fujiwara clan, and the Kasuga Taisha Shrine is actually the family shrine of the Fujiwara clan, and Kofukuji Temple is the Bodhi Temple established by Fujiwara Kamazu, so the two are united and inseparable from each other.

It is also a tradition in medieval Japan that temple monks serve as shrine priests, that is, the legendary unity of gods and Buddhas, and the Japanese gods are very interesting, the gods and the earth are in the same position, and the gods and goddesses also want to be free from suffering like mortals, so they seek the Buddha's enlightenment to achieve liberation.

At the beginning of the Nara period, Echizen Kuniya was established by the great god of Echizen and the great god of the shrine, and then the Mangon Zen master also set up Jinguji Temple at the shrines in and outside the country such as Kashima Shrine, Kamo Shrine, and Ise Jingu, and even the Yaman Daimyojin of the samurai god Hachiman Jingu Shrine was turned into the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman by the Buddha, so it is not surprising to see a group of big bald heads in the shrine, and the shrine built near the temple has almost become an annex of the temple.

Yamato has the saying that the kingdom of God is not only because it was the seat of Kyoto for two generations, but also because there are a large number of shrines in it, only in Tamami-gun, to which Kofukuji Temple belongs, there are nine large shrines and twenty-eight small shrines recorded in the "Enki-style God Name Account", and the largest twenty-two shrines in the Yamato country occupy seven seats, namely one for the Upper Seven Shrines, five for the Middle Seven Shrines, and one for the Lower Eight Shrines.

I walked around Heijokyo in Nara for two days, saw the scenery of Heijokyo in the southern capital, and stayed in front of Kofukuji Temple for a few days, and visited this ancient temple to worship Shakyamuni Buddha, speaking of which this ancient Buddha was still enshrined when Fujiwara Kamazu made a vow, and it is said that it is very effective and has always been the treasure of Kofukuji Temple.

In order to find the powerful warrior monk as soon as possible, the samurai of the Kira family changed into civilian clothes and entered Kofukuji Temple, and Yamaoka Zenjiro directly asked the young guide monk, "Where is Master Yinei of Takara-in?" The other party was stunned for a long time and didn't remember where the Treasure Temple was, but he pointed to the east and said, "Where it may be." ”

"What does this mean? Takazoin doesn't even know the monks who can be called Kofukuji? "Don't say that Yamaoka Zenjiro thinks that his words are unreliable, even Kira Manmatsumaru shook his head, and a group of more than 20 people entered only to find that the scale of Kofukuji Temple is really outrageous, and there are too many monks who can't be named.

He stopped several monks one after another and said that they didn't know about the treasure temple, and later recommended that they go to the Chukin Hall, the Great Lecture Hall, the Five-Storied Pagoda, the East Gold Hall, the South Yen Hall, the West Gold Hall, the North Yen Hall, and the Three-Storied Pagoda...... If you want to eat fast, remember to go to the dining hall, and if you get lost, just remember to ask the monks who pass by.

Seeing that it was not a matter to find it like this, the samurai of the Kira family immediately scattered in several ways to search, and the road to find Takara-in was very tortuous, and finally met a monk near the south gate and asked to know that there was indeed a Takara-in temple nearby, but the full name seemed to be different, it was called Kofukuji Tower Treasure-in, and finally found Takara-in in a place that was not too arrogant.

The full name of Baozoin Yinrong is Baozoin Juezen Fang Yinrong, the owner of Baozoin Temple in the tower of Yamato Kofukuji Temple, because he didn't know the difference between his full name and the tower, he let them run for a long time in vain, and almost didn't break his leg.

Born in the first year of Daei (1521 in the Western calendar), he was the second son of Kinei of Takara-in...... Right! You read that right! He is exactly the same as his father's name, and he follows the ancient name inheritance method of the Middle Ages, the Matsuei Pill of the young name of Treasure Sho Temple, but in the temple it is generally called Kakuzen Fang Yinei, and only to the outside is it called Bao Zoin Yin Rong, this is the legendary pit man, and the name inside and outside the temple is different.

When he became an adult, he inherited his father's name and became the leader of the monk group of Baozoin.,In the many monk groups of Kofukuji Temple, he is also considered the number one person.,It's a pity that these warrior monks don't usually run around in the temple.,The activities in the temple are ordinary monks.,It's really a deserved broken leg.。
