Chapter 329: Worship the Buddha
The thoughts of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Uesugi Teruto, is it as glorious as Uesugi Teruto?
I'm afraid not.
The superior is also human and has their own desires, but they can hide their desires in the common good of all.
The duke is selfless, she is the public, how can there be selfishness?
People are all public, and their physical and psychological needs will naturally be decorated.
As long as Uesugi Terutora can defeat the Kanto region, he will give benefits to the samurai under his command.
It doesn't matter if she's going to fight for Spo or using Spo to fight.
The samurai family is heavy on profits, as long as the interests are sufficient, the reason is made up casually.
Uesugi Terutora needs to convince her samurai family, and she also needs to convince herself, because it is her responsibility to continue the Uesugi family business.
In the same way, Ashikaga Yoshiki is the same.
If marrying Spo Yoshiin can stabilize the three generations of the Ashikaga family, she is wise.
On the contrary, the faint gentleman who was fascinated by beauty lost his family business for a hundred years, which can only be used to warn future generations.
All in all, as long as the result is in favor of the samurai under his command, everything is right for the superiors.
The samurai is such an unpretentious and boring thing to chase profits, simple and easy to understand, so boring.
In fact, Uesugi Teruhu himself can't say which is more important than the family beauty, and human nature is inherently complicated.
But she understands that the appearance of Spo Yiyin has provided her with a path that she did not have before.
It is far better than the road she planned to get closer to the shogunate before Shangluo.
There is one sentence that she did not mention to Naoe, that is, she covets the bloodline of Sibo Yoshigin, and it also stems from her ambition for the people of the world.
The samurai family originated from the two surnames of the Genji and Taira clans, and since the Genpei War, the Taira clan was defeated, and there is a general consensus among the samurai.
A person who is not an elder of the Genji clan cannot be a pillar of the samurai, and a non-pillar of the samurai family cannot be a shogun.
To put it simply, only the Genji bloodline can open the mansion and be the one under the sky.
And Uesugi Terutora was born in the Bandong Hachihei clan, and she is not qualified to fight.
But Spo Yoshiin is different, the Spo family is a close branch of the Ashikaga family, a famous family of the Genji clan.
She and his children will have Genji's noble blood flowing in their bodies.
As for whether a male descendant counts as a Genji bloodline? If your fist is big enough, you can talk to all the martial artists in the world.
As long as the descendants bear the name of the Spo family, it will not be considered a broken rule, and it will be done to slaughter a few ignorant families.
Uesugi Terutora didn't know if he was in love with Yoshiin or if he could take advantage of him in every way.
I only know that he is a priceless treasure placed in front of him by God and must not be missed.
If you miss it, your heart will ache for a lifetime.

The next morning, Yiyin bathed and changed his clothes, preparing to participate in the fraternity activities held by the Great Imperial Terrace, the Winter Buddha Ceremony.
The suppression of men in the samurai society was so severe that it was not an exaggeration to say that they were tools for childbearing, and family property.
Even a noble martial artist has little room for freedom.
But human nature is hard to suppress, and the fraternity is a social circle formed by samurai men.
Here, they can get a little respite, gain an extremely weak influence, and feed back into the relationship between women and men.
Through the fraternity, samurai men were able to participate in political and economic activities, and slightly enhance their presence in the family.
Therefore, almost all samurai men are active in the activities of the brotherhood, which is another battlefield for them to protect themselves and protect their relatives.
The suppression of men in the samurai society has led to very few types of activities they can hold, only tea parties, flower viewing parties, and Buddhist worship parties.
Today's event is the Winter Buddha Ceremony.
Ji samurai are called females on the battlefield, and most of them are insensitive to religion.
And the samurai man is more enthusiastic about it because his life is boring and his spirit needs sustenance.
After the slaughter of the imperial court by the three generations of shoguns Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, Shintoism, which had a close relationship with the imperial court, gradually died out, and Buddhism became the dominant family.
In recent years, mainstream Buddhism has been divided into three schools, the Hieisan Tendai sect, the Koyasan Shingon sect, and the Ishiyama Honganji Ichijo sect.
The Tiantai sect of Hiei Mountain originated in the era of sending Tang envoys, and the Tao was obtained in the Tiantai Mountain of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Heavenly Dynasty, so it was called Tiantai Sect.
This sect is close to Kyoto and has been on the upper class route all year round, and it is the most nourishing of the three sects.
Koyasan was divided in civil strife, and the new faction left Wakayama, and since then Koyasan has been known as the old school of Shingon sect, and its power has been greatly reduced.
Later, because of the successful merger of the Hosho sect and the takeover of the Kofukuji Temple of Yamato Province, the old school of the Tendai sect regained its foothold based on the hometown of Nara.
Tiantai Sect and Shingon Sect are both old sects, biased towards Tang Dynasty Buddhism, with profound Buddhism and transcendence from the world.
However, the IchΕ sect is from the Kanto region.
Since the Song Dynasty, the Pure Land belief in Buddhism has risen, and the concept of entering the Pure Land through belief in Amitabha, the Buddha of Bliss, has been widely spread.
The ancient city of Kamakura in the Kanto region was the place where the Pure Land belief of Buddhism spread in Japan during the Song Dynasty, and was called the Pure Land sect.
The teachings of Buddhism of several schools in recent years are too profound, but the teachings of Pure Land Buddhism are concise and close to the world, and they are more acceptable to the toiling masses, and have a great influence in the Kanto region.
After that, an extreme branch was expelled from Kamakura, that is, the Pure Land Shinshu, also known as the Ichijo sect, which can become a Buddha by reciting Amitabha.
Ichijo was expelled from the Kanto Pure Land sect and came to take root in the near future.
Because the Buddhism of the sect is simple and clear, the people at the bottom are heavily dependent, but it has become the strongest secular force among the three factions.
The Daigodaisho has a noble status, and he holds a Buddha ceremony, which is naturally presided over by important figures from the Mt. Hiei Tendai sect.
When he arrived at the imperial platform, Yiyin realized that he was wrong, and the person who presided over the worship of the Buddha turned out to be a nun.
He was also surprised, as the Great Imperial Observatory, it was inconvenient for the Venerable Master of the Tiantai Sect to go down the mountain, at least he should send the masters of the temples on the mountain, or the venerable nuns to come.
Who would have thought that it was just a small Nizheng who came.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Hieiyama is no longer a small person, but at the level of the Ashikaga family, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is humiliating and humiliating.
Unless, it is designated by the Daigodai itself.
In the Buddhist hall of the imperial platform, surrounded by sandalwood, the Buddha light is mellow. This immersive atmosphere is best suited for the deepening of religious beliefs.
The samurai man lived a miserable life, had no status in the family, and was restricted by many things, unable to move freely.
Except for a few fraternity and handkerchief gatherings, they worship Buddhism and believe in religion, also to relieve spiritual emptiness.
The profound Buddhism of the Tiantai sect was able to gain a foothold in the upper echelons because these men did not need to know anything about the Dharma.
They are not cultivating the Dharma, but lonely, empty, and cold.
Yiyin can be regarded as an idol by the samurai man, and it is also because he fights hard for these poor people.
When he entered the Buddhist hall, the atmosphere around him obviously stagnated, and many of his eyes had turned away from the Buddhist scriptures and statues.
The presiding nun is personally stepping forward to greet him, covering his face with his head wrapped in plain color, revealing only two beautiful big eyes.
The eyelashes are long, the eyes are more black, the whites of the eyes are less, the water is not aggressive, extremely soft, and there is a faint trace of compassion.
The wrapping of her head is not tight, and she can be seen slightly between the gaps that she looks dignified and is also a beauty.
"Poor Ni Tianhai, I have seen the humble and faithful father."
