At the first Sakamoto assessment meeting in August, Kira Yoshitoki was discussing construction with his retainers, when he saw a young monk go straight to the assessment room, and in front of many retainers in the assessment room, he arrogantly glanced at everyone in the room, and said loudly: "Kira Yoshitoki kneels to receive the decree!" ”

"Bastard!" Enraged by the monk's rude behavior, the samurai of Mikawa rebuked: "Get out!" ”

The monk was startled by a group of angry samurai, took a few steps back in panic, and felt that he was too cowardly, so he held his head high and threatened: "Kira Yoshitoki! I am under the orders of the Lord of the Heavenly Throne, Lord Yao Zun! To convey the decree, are you going to refuse? You've figured it out! This is the decree of the Lord of the Tendai! ”

"Look for death!" A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, seeing the appearance of this monk trespassing and assessing the unkindness of the person who came from the room, Kira Yoshishi just snorted coldly: "I am a believer of the Rinzai Sect, not a believer of the Tiantai Sect, and I have no obligation to pay a big bow to see the noble envoy, so if the noble envoy has something to say, just say it!" ”

"How daring! I remember you! This monk had never been so angry, and sneered when he stared at Kira Yoshishi viciously: "According to the decree of the Lord of the Heavenly Throne, Yao Zun, and the Prince of the Heavenly Throne, he will be ordered to stop all the expansions of Sakamoto and Katada within one month, and all the buildings built should be demolished within three months, and if there is, he will be punished for disobedience!" ”

"What a big breath!" Hearing such an arrogant and domineering decree, not to mention that Kira Yoshitoshi couldn't bear it, it was Yamamoto Tokiyuki, Hosokawa Fujitaka also changed color, no one thought that Enryakuji Temple would dare to blatantly issue a decree to the Kira family, that is, His Royal Highness the Gongfang and the Manchu Dynasty were polite to him, and this Enryakuji Temple actually asked him to "stop immediately" in an ordered tone, otherwise he would be "severely punished".

"When did Mt. Hiei come to the head of my Kira family?"

"You Enryakuji Temple is too domineering, aren't you? Why stop it! Watanabe Takatsuna was furious and got up to stop the monk. shouted: "Still want to demolish? Is this what Hieiyama should be in charge of? Do you think that the three thousand warriors of my Kira family are easy to bully? Huh? ”

"What are you going to do? Get out of the way...... Yoshitoki Kira! Take care of your men! The monk took a few steps back. It seems that I didn't expect the Kira family to be scared at all. Hurriedly put down the decree and shouted, turned his face and ran: "The decree has been read, you can decide for yourself!" ”

"Humph! Dregs! Kira Yoshitoki highlighted two words, and glanced at the ministers with a gloomy face, and the samurai of Mikawa shouted that they wanted to fight with Enryakuji Temple, while Hosokawa Fujitaka and other new members of the shogunate were silent one by one, and they did not come up with a charter after discussing it for a long time at the evaluation meeting.

"Good! Didn't he stop it? Then stop! Kira Yoshitoki announced on the spot that he would terminate the expansion of the castle town, and left in a rage with a kick to overturn the case.

"Your Excellency!" When Yamamoto Tokiyuki limped after Kirayoshi and said, "Enryakuji's decision is indeed excessive. But please be patient for the time being, and ask His Royal Highness Fujitaka to be the intermediary of the family and go to the Imperial Shogunate to complain! ”

"Appeal? Did it work? Kira Yoshitoki snorted coldly and said, "The mountain mage of Mount Hiei is one of the three unsatisfactory in the world in the Shirakawain era!" What do you ask my family to complain about? Are you waiting for the monks of Mt. Hiei to carry the shrine of the mountain king to the court to complain? ”

Shirakawain is the famous Shirakawa Emperor, squeezed down the Seki Fujiwara family to take charge of the government, creating a precedent for the court system, "The Tale of the Heike Family" recorded that the Shirakawa Emperor called the world three unsatisfactory, the original words are: "The water of the Kamo River, the gambling game of Double Six and the mountain mage, only these three things in the world are not as good as I want!" ”

The Kamo River is the Kamogawa River, and it is named after the Kamo Gozu Shrine, which is also known as Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto. Therefore, the people of Kyoto often call it Kamogawa, and the Kamo River in Kyoto often brings disasters when flooded. At the same time, there is also a benefit, a big water is a big cleaning. Because the source of the river in Kyoto was also the ancient execution ground and the place where the corpses were discarded, the problem of filth was solved by washing away the corpses as soon as the water came.

Shuanglu is a famous Bo tool at home and abroad, passed from the Tang Empire, the specific system is to use backgammon chess pieces in the shape of horses, fifteen or twelve pieces of black and white, two people play the dice according to the point of chess, until one side of all the chess pieces take the lead to the opposite side for a game of victory, a bit similar to the meaning of flying chess, is a famous gambling game in medieval Japan for the nobles to love, is to the imperial court for a long time ban.

Finally, this mountain master is the armed monks of Enryakuji Temple in Mt. Hiei, the missionary master most Cheng into the Tang Empire to study Buddhism, and returned to Japan in the second year, under the imperial court pardon to establish Enryakuji Temple, to create a line of Tiantai sect, and this Enryakuji Temple has also been used as a ghost gate to suppress Kyoto, and together with the Protector of the Kingdom of the King Temple as a dojo to protect the national capital.

The abbot of Enryakuji Temple is called the master of the Tiantai Sect, before the thirteenth generation, the lord of the Tiantai Seat is mostly the disciples of the Zhizheng faction, so the reputation of the sect is quite prosperous, and later because the 18th Liangyuan tried to expand the power of the Cijue faction, and when Yu Qing of the Zhizheng faction in the first year of Yongzuo served as the twentieth master, he was resisted by the disciples of the Cijue faction, so there was a rebellion of Yongzuo's proclamation.

Yuanzhen sect disciples in the fourth year of the main calendar to evacuate Enryakuji Temple, and the Yuancheng Temple as a new base, since then the mountain gate Enryakuji Temple and the temple gate Yuancheng Temple completely opposed and fierce confrontation, very much like the meaning of the two gates of Kofukuji Temple, Yuancheng Temple was later burned by the monks of Enryakuji Temple, a large number of Garan in the temple was destroyed until the Warring States period has been in the state of abandonment.

At that time, the monks of Mt. Hiei raised monks to maintain the Yamashita Manor, called the mountain mage, and often fought with the master of Yuancheng Temple and the master of Kofukuji Temple, and the master of Kofukuji Temple Nara, which became the trouble of Gyeonggi rampant in the country, which made the imperial court of the past dynasties very distressed, even if the Kamakura shogunate was so strong, it was not possible to recruit these mountain mages.

In the era of Emperor Shirakawa, these mountain mages were lawless, and they went to the Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine at the slightest grievance, and carried the portable shrine of the mountain king's authority to Kyoto Sakyo to block the road, and the portable shrine was not something that ordinary people could move, and they could not let the mountain king's authority be exposed to the public for this trivial matter, and even parked in the open air to bask in the wind and rain, so in the end, it was always the Shirakawa emperor who compromised and gave in, and begged the priests to carry the portable shrine back.

This method also appeared in the Tokusei Shoichi that broke out after the Cargill Rebellion, and the imperial court and the shogunate were forced to take possession of Kyoto by Tokuichi, so they could only agree to the Tokusho decree to protect the interests of these Somura groups, but on the issue of repaying the land, the monks and soldiers of Enryakuji Temple in Mt. Hiei were dissatisfied, and they ran to Kyoto with a sedan chair to make a big fuss. In the end, the imperial shogunate was forced to revise the German decree. Kanda, which is occupied by the temple shrine, is not within the scope of the Tokugawa decree.

Such an exaggerated force. How did he fight with Hiei Mountain when he was Yoshishi? Could it be that a certain demon king set fire to Mt. Hiei? That's death, and he doesn't want to die yet.

Kira Yoshitoshi was hit by the sudden decree of Enryakuji Temple for a whole day without energy, and after a night of tossing and turning, he invited important ministers to discuss how to deal with it, and after repeated discussions for a long time, he could not make a decision.

"Okay, you're Hieizan Enryakuji! No wonder Oda Nobunaga is going to burn your mountain! Others are afraid of you, but my family is not afraid! I really thought that my family was muddy! ”

"Don't be reckless! You must know that it is the place of faith of the royal family and the ministers, and most of the ministers in the court are believers in Enryakuji Temple, and if my Kira family provokes this Eisan Enryakuji Temple. His Royal Highness can't keep me waiting! Hosokawa Fujitaka persuaded with a headache.

The status of Enryakuji Temple is too lofty, and the abbot of the ordinary temple is the abbot, only the abbot of Enryakuji Temple is called the lord of the Tiantai Seat, and each of the Tiandai masters is either the prince of the royal family or the descendant of the Five Princesses, although it is only the supreme leader in name, and there is not much real power in fact, but Enryakuji Temple still has a huge influence on the imperial court one step away from Kyoto.

Enryakuji Temple, known as the "Kitairai Mountain Gate" and also the "Mother Mountain of Buddhism", has had a great influence on the imperial court since the Heian period, and has always held the greatest authority of the Gozan and enjoyed great religious authority, and the foreign court and shogunate did not dare to provoke easily. Internally, there has always been a strong power of self-government, not to mention all kinds of privileges. There is also the right to choose the power of the lord of the Tendai, that is, we choose who is in power, and then rule the court and replace which nobleman with close factions will be the lord of the Tendai.

"Haven't you seen what Hieiyama is up to? They are trying to take away the inheritance of my Kira family, including Sakamoto, Katata, Otsu, and the whole of Shiga Prefecture! Who's behind this? Did the Hexagons secretly agitate? Enryakuji Temple's action is so big, why didn't the Saikyo Temple in Otsu react at all? Don't you think it's weird? Kira was indignant, and he immediately thought of several hypotheses, what a big net was waiting for him behind this! Take one wrong step and there's no turning back! can only be reduced to fish on the chopping board for others to slaughter.

"Could it all be a conspiracy? Enryakuji Temple has long been greedy for Sakamoto's wealth, and has been holding back just waiting for us to make a mistake, and finally under the pretext of pressing step by step, take away the entire Sakamoto and even Shiga County? What a terrible conspiracy! Yamamoto suddenly realized, the question that had been bothering him for many days suddenly became clear, why the Kira family repeatedly offended Hiei Mountain, but the other party has not moved, it turns out that they have been thinking about how to take away the family business of the Kira family.

Hondoshi said indignantly: "What the hall master said is right! We can't go back! My Kira family is like the rising sun in the east, and the momentum cannot be broken! If we take a step back now, the greedy Enryakuji Temple will definitely gain an inch, and what will we do to stop it then? The Rokkaku family and Seikyoji Temple teamed up to seize Otsu, Enryakuji Temple snatched Sakamoto, and Katata only needed one turmoil to turn into powder, this is to destroy my Kira family! ”

"The family must not give in! At the beginning of this case, how did the family still rule the land of the two counties? The upward trend of my Kira family will also be stopped! Kira Yoshitoki thought calmly: "No matter how strong Eizan is, it is impossible to be invulnerable!" There must be a solution to this crisis! I believe I can do it! ”

Soon he thought of a way, he needed to use the power of public opinion to incite against the hegemony of Enryakuji Temple, Hattori Masaaki quickly spread the news of the termination of the expansion of Sakamoto Town, and began to create public opinion to incite discontent, and at the same time sent Hattori ninja to contact the original Ichijo sect believers hiding in Kita Omi through connections, and quietly spread the "Ichijo clan riot" Behind the incident was the instigation of the disciples of the Tiantai sect.

So an interesting scene appeared, before the Kira family publicly announced the cessation of expansion, the entire Shiga County was rumored to be known to passers-by, such a large project was brutally rejected by the mountain mage with a word, you can imagine what these interested townspeople will think, and what the tens of thousands of townspeople from other places who are waiting for the establishment of a new town should think.

Public opinion in Shiga Prefecture was in an uproar, and the news soon spread to Kinai under the spread of well-intentioned people, and many people doubted the authenticity of this statement, on the other hand, the expelled Katada Ichiko's disciples returned to Katata, and began to consult frequently and secretly with the lords of Kata, and everything was developing in a strange direction.
