Chapter 171: Entering the Temple
The earliest religion in the world was Shintoism, with the Emperor of Heaven as the main god and the descendants of Rizhao, and the gods were all living in the court.
After the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the natives admired Tianwei. After several twists and turns, centuries of martyrdom have been followed by the efforts of Buddhism to the east.
Originally, Shinto and Buddhism stood side by side in the world, and neither of the two powerhouses could help anyone.
Who knew that the three generations of generals Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was canonized as the queen of Japan by the Ming Dynasty, taking advantage of the peak of the samurai family's power, slaughtering the entire imperial court, and the emperor and ministers were uprooted.
Shinto is too deeply involved with the emperor, and after all, it comes to a curtain call with the emperor's minister. Only the shrine in Ise has been dilapidated over the years, reminiscent of its former glory.
Although Emperor Yiman did not affect Buddhism, he frightened the nuns to tremble, and they offered their honorific titles one after another, competing to kneel and lick.
After all, this poor world needs religion to appease the people at the bottom. For the sake of the stability of the samurai society, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu cut off the roots of Shintoism, but he did not plan to move Buddhism again.
This has also allowed Buddhism to live a good life for more than 100 years. Even because of the lack of opponents, it is more prosperous, among which the Yamato Kofuji Temple has gained great benefits.
Yamato is the birthplace of ancient Japan and the place where the emperor made his fortune. Shintoism is very powerful in Ise Province and Yamato.
But Ashikaga Yoshimitsu slashed Shintoism to death, leaving a large power vacuum to be filled.
And Yamato has always had a strong religious atmosphere, and the samurai had no intention of continuing to stimulate Buddhism, so that Kofukuji picked up a big bargain.
Although there is no explicit text from the shogunate, it is a tacit understanding in secret, and the temple law leads the Yamato guardianship, and the earthly Buddha kingdom is achieved.
This achievement is enough for other Buddhists to be blushing for ten lifetimes, and it has also become the driving force for the Yizong to launch the same time and again.
Who doesn't want to make a career. The samurai want the family to prosper, and the Buddhists want the earthly Buddha kingdom.
Later, Ichijo finally succeeded in Hokuriku, which led to the Kaga Rebellion, and Ichijo became the only religious enemy of the samurai.
There was a reserve of troops outside Yiyin, and more than 30 horses from this formation entered Xingfu Temple.
At this time, the Dharma Master of Kofukuji Temple was the head of Koyasan, Master Changgaku. It's a pity that she has been tossing and turning lately, and she is really sad and helpless for the invasion of Miyoshi.
The decline of the Hoxiang Sect and the acquisition of this treasure land of Yamato Kofukuji Temple by the Shingon Sect should have been a happy and good thing.
But the Shingon Sect has only been stationed in the seat for three generations, and the foundation is not deep, and it has made a big mistake.
During the time of the Faxiangzong, the temple was also guarded by nuns and martial artists.
At that time, there was a way of balancing, and the leaders of the domestic nuns and martial arts families were divided into the Tsutsui family, and the Yue Zhi family was separated. The Dharma Master of Kofukuji Temple can sit and check and balance, and do not let the family become bigger.
When it came to Shingon Buddhism, the lord of the generation was guilty of infatuation. Because of personal preferences, he suppressed the Yue Zhi family and raised the Tsutsui family.
As a result, the tail did not fall, and the rise of the Tsutsui family unified the nun samurai family. Although Kofukuji Temple still has a high status, the power of the Dharma Lord has been greatly reduced.
Now the Miyoshi family ignored the tacit understanding between the samurai and the temple and forcibly invaded the Yamato country. Master Changjue was furious, but not because of the Miyoshi family.
Kofukuji has an extraordinary status, and the Miyoshi family just wants to attack Kyoto by the way, and there is no entanglement with religion.
In the meaning of Master Changjue, borrow the Tao and borrow the Tao. As long as the two sides form a tacit understanding, don't implicate Xingfuji Temple, and fight to the death with your martial arts.
However, the Tsutsui family evacuated the nuns and warriors who were guarding around Kofukuji Temple, and put all the power of Yamato Kingdom in the walled city near Tsutsui Castle, leaving the central and northern parts of Yamato Kingdom empty.
Master Changjue couldn't help but be terrified, what did this Tsujing Shunqing want to do?
Although the Tsutsui family is already a nun samurai family in the Yamato Kingdom, the ruling authority of her family comes from the authorization of the head of Kofukuji Temple.
Once Shihe Yicun chooses to divide troops to guard and part of the army goes north, how can Xingfuji Temple protect itself? What is the heart of this Tsutsui Shunqing?
Sure enough, the Ten Rivers army chose to divide its troops and go north, wreaking havoc on the prosperity of the north and central parts of Yamato.
Master Changjue gritted his teeth and panicked, for fear that those heretics of the Zaga sect who had always believed in the sect would enter Xingfu Temple and destroy the Buddha and kill the nuns.
But she never expected that the last thing she was waiting for was the general of the Shogunate Army, Iga Yoshigin.
Doubts are doubts, there should still be scenes, and the shogunate is always easier to deal with than heretics.
With the monks in the temple to greet them, a group of nuns are solemn, and they have a posture of being a Taoist high.
"Master, Spo Yiyin is polite."
This time it was to ask for money, and the etiquette could be more low-key. Yiyin didn't care about these false names, and stepped forward to bow first.
Master Changjue didn't expect that the Spo Imperial Front, who was famous for his fierceness, would be so humble, and he didn't dare to call back, so he returned a salute. The two sides smiled and entered the Buddhist hall to discuss the matter.
The Buddhist hall is not big, and it can't sit more than 30 Ji warriors and many mages. Except for Yiyin and a group of Ji warriors who participated in the decision-making, the others all went out to wait.
But this did not reduce Master Changjue's sense of crisis, there were murderous fighting girls inside and outside this hall, and there were hundreds of troops outside the temple.
Can this matter be good today?
"I don't know why the emperor came?"
The besieged Master Changjue spoke first, she didn't dare to bet on the patience of these **.
"It's not interesting for the Lord to say this, the Zaga people are raging Yamato, and I, Spo Yiyin, sent troops to relieve the siege, so what did I get in exchange for you?"
This time to enter the temple, Yiyin is based on the information of the three husbands of the hundred lands, and the plan of Niko Katsuhisa.
These nuns must be treated with force so that they understand their current situation.
Master Changjue smiled bitterly, this attitude was like the rumored Si Po Imperial Front.
"The royal front is angry, it's not that the old nun is rude. But we and other outsiders should not participate in the strife of the world. ”
Yiyin sneered.
"These three good families have entered the Yamato country, if I hadn't come to expel them, the people of Saga would have burned down your Kofukuji Temple.
You tell me about the outside and the inside? Good, good, good and good. ”
Neither Master Nagakuku nor Yoshiin knew that the reason why the Saga people did not dare to attack Kofukuji Temple was because of Suzuki Shigehide's strict orders.
The credit was placed on the Iga army, and they all felt reasonable, and Master Nagakuku had nothing to say.
"This... The royal front is reasonable, but with this war, what can the small temple of Xingfuji Temple do? ”
Master Changjue's thoughts are similar to those of the Yanagi family, anyway, you, Spo Yoshiyin, have already expelled the Zaga people, and my danger is gone.
Then why should I fight against the Miyoshi family with you, the situation is unclear at this time, and it is not suitable to stand in line.
Master Changjue was a scoundrel this time, but it was expected by Yiyin.
He never dared to look up to the discipline of religious figures, who were uglier than those who played politics in the face of interests.
This time I came to Kofukuji Temple, and Nizi Katsuhisa and him put together a whole set of wording to persuade Changjue.
"Master, you said that if I came one step late, the Saga people have already slaughtered Kofukuji Temple, what should I do?"
Yiyin said, smiling and showing a mouthful of white teeth, but his eyes were cold.
