Before Spo Yoshigin's arrival in Echigo, there was already a disagreement.

Near the stone mountain of Settsu country, the main mountain of Honganji Temple, the night is deep, and the bells ring in the upper and lower courtyards.

The bell choked and echoed in the mountains. It's not the time for morning and evening classes, but it's one after another.

The tenth generation of the Dharma Master of Honganji Temple, the Venerable Master is seated.

The Honganji lineage is known as the Pure Land Shinshu, and its first Dharma Master, the Venerable Rin, came from Mt. Hiei and practiced penance for 20 years without results.

Later, he went down to the mountain to study under the Venerable Master Faran and taught him the teachings of the Pure Land religion.

The various schools of Buddhism introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty were all solemn and profound.

The Pure Land sect flourished in the Song Dynasty, and the Buddhist principles were simple and easy to understand, close to the world.

The Venerable Master went one step further and recited the phrase Nam no Amitabha Buddha to become a Buddha, attracting a large number of poor people from the bottom.

You don't need to be a monk, you don't need to put down the butcher's knife to become a Buddha on the spot, and the evil party, the wild samurai, and the people of the country also believe in her teachings.

The true Buddhism of the Pure Land Sect as mentioned by the Venerable Master is called the Pure Land True Sect by later generations. He has always been dedicated to the Amitabha Buddha of Nan Wu, and is also known as the Amitabha Sect.

He has always been the patriarch and is a descendant of the Venerable Venerable Qinluan.

The sect of Honganji and Honganji Temple have been relocated many times, and the 10th generation of Honganji Dharma Master has moved to Settsu Ishiyama and is Ishiyama Honganji.

Now that the Venerable Master is seated, his daughter Honganji is like a superior and has become the Dharma Master.

The incense smoke in Honganji is heavy, the chanting is continuous, and the Honganji who has just succeeded to the throne is like a sad face, but his eyes are bright and bright, and he can't hide his look.

After a busy night, she still didn't feel sleepy, and pulled her cronies to discuss matters in Lai Lian's inner room.

Honganji appears to be disdainful.

"Takeda Harunobu sent someone to send a heavy gift, Nagao Keihu (Uesugi Teruto) Kamiluo, and she wants me to block his way back."

Lai Lian was stunned.

"The heavy snow in the winter of Echigo closed the mountain, and the long-tailed Jinghu Shangluo must have been before the mountain was closed, and now it is almost spring ploughing, and she should be on the way back at this moment, I'm afraid she won't be able to catch up."

She was born in the lower family, and the lower family has followed the left and right since the first generation of the Venerable Qinluan, and her status is transcendent.

Although she is a side branch of the family, she has outstanding ability, and she is already the owner of the house.

Xianru smiled.

"The martial artist is cunning, I'm afraid it's a plan, I don't bother to pay attention to her.

But I had the intention of cleaning up Kaga's people, and I didn't accept her heavy gifts in vain.

This bastard of Shichiri Raishu fooled Motoyama with those people in Kaga.

Receiving the heavy gift from the long-tailed Jinghu and allowing her to cross the border, I didn't even know at all. ”

In the hands of the eight generations of Dharma Lord Honganji Renru, the Yixiang sect reformed, simplified the ceremony, collected the power, and built the organizational structure with three layers: the Dharma Master, the Fang, and the Speak.

The Dharma Master is a master of the sect and sits in the Shishan Imperial Workshop.

Honganji Temple in various places is also known as a workshop, and it is delegated to the management of acting officials.

Speaking at the grassroots level, leading dozens or even hundreds of believers.

The simplicity of religious doctrine and the simplification of religious rituals led to rapid expansion.

In Kii, Ise, Omi, Mikawa and other countries the power grew rapidly.

The strongest branch was the Kaga Ichijo sect of Hokuriku Province, which successfully captured a country and also conveyed faith to the surrounding countries, which made the samurai very jealous.

In the era of Xianru's mother, the Venerable Master, she suppressed the external development of the sect, stabilized the territory of expansion, and also made the warriors relax their vigilance.

However, this caused dissatisfaction within Honganji, and her daughter Xianru, who advocated that exports to the outside world would always be the same, and that all countries could be Buddhas, and won the support of the sect.

Now that the certificate is like sitting, it is like being in a high position, and I can't help but have to do something.

Shichiri Lai Zhou was originally a young servant of the Ishiyama Imperial Workshop, and in order to prove that the Venerable Master valued him, he was promoted to a nun and sent to Kaga as an acting official.

After the arrival of Shichiri Yorishu, he integrated the internal affairs of the Kaga Ichijo sect and suppressed the pace of external expansion, which was disgusted by Honganji.

Now that she is on the throne, she is just taking Qili Lai Zhou to open the knife, in order to change the conservative strategy of the Zongzong in the Zhengru era and move towards development.

Shimoma Lai Lian naturally understood the mind of the Dharma Master, and she didn't like Qili Lai Zhou, and she had ordered the application several times as the owner of the mountain.

But there are some things that can't be rushed, and the appearance of excitement makes her worry, don't act too quickly, but mess up the pace.

"The Dharma Lord is wise, Qili Lai Zhou has done nothing, it is time to apply for it, and order her to change her course and expand the Hokuriku Province."

Xianru obviously understood the meaning of her words and said.

"You mean to keep her?"

"Kaga has always had a complicated sect, so he should first send someone to supervise the work of Qili Laizhou, and then slowly figure it out."

As if he had listened to her advice, he was silent in thought.

The grassroots level of the sect has always used preaching to control the believers, and then launched the Yiyi Clan, violently driving out the samurai lords, and establishing branch workshops to manage the territory.

Its essence is dual leadership, and it has always been ruled together by the officials and the leaders.

At the beginning, it has always been successful, and the Kaga country is in charge of the three temple owners, and the leaders of the various places listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and it is chaotic.

In particular, the unconscious wanton expansion, the invasion of Echizen, Noto, and Echichu was met with fierce reactions from the samurai of various countries.

Shichiri Yorishu was sent to Kaga, and one of the most important tasks was to establish the Oyama Imperial Workshop on the Kanazawa Plain and unify the Kaga Ichijomune.

Xianru finally nodded and said.

"Then leave her alone.

Let the next room go to Kaga and serve as the owner of the Oyama Imperial Workshop.

He ordered Shichiri Raishu to serve as the general of Kaga, seal the border, and call on believers from all surrounding countries to launch a rebellion. ”

Shimoma Ryan nodded, Honganji was still calm-headed.

Although she was bent on expanding her power, she still chose Hokuriku Province to test first, suppressing her desire to launch in the nearby mountains.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple is located in Settsu Province, but after years of religious expansion, it has its own port, more than ten merchant towns, and the surrounding fields are full of believers.

In the border areas of Settsu, Hozumi, and Hanoi, the power is huge. There is also Omi has always responded to the east and west, and it is also far-reaching.

Once the shogunate pays attention to it, the consequences are unpredictable, so let's try it in Hokuriku first.

Manifestly said again.

"Ordered Mikawa to launch a long-term blow.

The three families of Imagawa, Matsudaira, and Oda are fighting endlessly, and the believers are in difficulty, so let the earthly Buddha Kingdom find a way for them to survive. ”

Not only Hokuriku but also Tokaido.

Shimoma asked.

"Then how did the Takeda envoy reply?"

It was like a cold answer.

"Let her leave her things and get out, Kaga's side, the Takeda family will be satisfied."

Takeda Harunobu sent someone to the Tendai sect of Mt. Hiei to ask for Buddha, and asked the master to go east to the Kai country to give a lecture, which made Xianru very angry.

These two betting foxes, while constantly giving gifts to make friends with themselves, pretend to believe in the Tiantai Sect, which is really disgusting.

But she didn't want to tear her face, she was far away and close to attack, maybe she would be able to use the Kai Takeda family one day.

The Mt. Hiei Tiantai sect has long been a yellow flower of the past, and after the division of Koyasan, it was also dull.

The Yiyi Sect, which is deeply rooted in the bottom, does not care about these declining sects that have taken the upper route.

Obviously, the Nichiren sect was suppressed by the Tendai sect, and after being driven out of Kyoto, it turned to the lower level to spread the faith, and had a large number of followers in the workshops and towns.

She ordered with a sneer.

"Nichiren's heresies and fallacies confuse the public, and in the sphere of influence of the Sect, believers will not be forgiven."

"Hey!"
