Gao Shisheng recalled the head of the professor's homework, and said some points about dealing with emergencies, and everything must first understand the background of the matter, so he asked Hokujo Manjiro: "Just now Shiichiro said that the temple also has an hermitage dojo in Nishigun?" Is it also in our village? Who is in charge, and how many monks and soldiers are there? ”

"The Meichuan Temple of the Shogun Temple is not in our village, in Hamana Township, the master of the temple is a disciple of Zen Master Konghui, there are not many monks, there are only seven or eight people."

Hamana Township is located in the southeast of Hirayamaso, and the two places are adjacent to each other, and they are both under the jurisdiction of the Sunfu Prefecture, and belong to the direct command of the Imagawa family.

Gao Shisheng sighed "hmm", breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought in his heart, I am afraid that these dozens of people are still unknown where they were hired, at least for the time being, there will be no more reinforcements from Meichuan Academy to help.

Then he opened his mouth and asked: "Since the two nunnery are not in the same place, why is there such a thing as a sword and soldier meeting each other?" Such a deep hatred and hatred will certainly not be a simple dispute between sectarians. ”

Kitazhuang Manjiro considered the words before replying: "Hoji clearly sees that it is indeed not a simple dispute between sectarians. ”

"Why is that? Could it be that there is still a personal vendetta? ”

"There is indeed a personal vendetta, Zenko-in Temple was originally the old temple of Umegawa-in, and it was only two years ago that it was replaced by a lecturer of the Pure Land Shinshu, so the monks of Umekawa-in Temple were forced to move to Hamana Township, and since then, the two families have been arguing endlessly."

"Oh? So Umegawa Temple is so good, how can it become Zenko-in? Gao Shisheng frowned when he heard this, so there was one more crime of privately exchanging the nunnery.

At this time, it was already afternoon, there were not many pedestrians on the road, even if they were passing by, they saw from a distance that the three people were riding horses, and they were carrying knives, and they were violent, and they all chose to avoid the detour.

There were several women walking along the side of the road, coarsely dressed, undressed, stepping barefoot on double clogs, holding or holding in their hands, holding a few clay pots, seeing that they could not retreat, and hurriedly hid under the road.

Gao Shisheng rode on his horse, condescending, and could see clearly that the basin was filled with some clear water, which should have been scooped from the distant river and given to the tenant farmers and subordinates working in the fields to drink.

One of them panicked, tripped under his feet, screamed, and fell to the ground, simply bending his arm to protect the clay pot, not broken.

She didn't care that her dress was splashed, so she hurriedly bent down, picked up the clay pot, and carefully retreated, with a large area of moisture on her sleeve collar and chest, and her wheat-colored skin looming.

Aoki Daizen, who led the way in front, frowned, and whispered a few words, the woman may have had a relationship with him, but she was not afraid, and glanced sideways, causing the women to snicker.

Gao Shisheng took a look at the woman and saw that she had an ordinary appearance and simple clothes, but she had a plump figure and a seductive young woman's charm.

Beizhuang Manjiro leaned over and explained: "The farmland nearby is the official land of the village, and the young and strong people who work in the fields, including these women, can be regarded as tenants and servants of Junfu. Bao Si fell in love with that, and I will arrange it! ”

These tenant farmers were all poor people, although the former rented the land of Junfu and was exploited by the servants of the village, but he was still a free man and was protected by the law of Junfu.

The subordinates were all people taken captive by the Imagawa family from other countries, or captives purchased from other daimyo through the Daiza merchants, and they not only performed various manual labor in the granges directly under the command of the Sunfu, but also had a low status.

Although the Jun Mansion has issued many orders to prohibit the remnants of ** and maids, it has little effect, if these slaves and maids are not squeezed, how can they complete the general request of the Jun Mansion on time, is it to oppress the people under the rule?

It can be seen from the casual words of Manjiro Kitazhuang that he must have been bullied for a long time on weekdays.

Gao Shisheng smiled and said, "You better quickly explain to me why Meichuan Temple was changed to Zenko-in, so I won't bother you about it." ”

"Actually, it's sad!" Manjiro Kitajo said.

"How?"

"The house of Zenko-in Temple is actually the original family temple of the Kamikawa family, and Kamikawa-sama asked the precept master of the Shingon sect if his only son, who died in battle, can have a way to become a Buddha and get rid of the sea ............of suffering."

The Kamikawa family is one of the many wealthy families in the Enoe country, Wanxing was originally in Fukichi County, and was later transferred to the adjacent Insa-gun, but the family temple was not moved, so it was still retained in Hirayama.

"The precept master's answer must have made Lord Kamikawa dissatisfied." Gao Shisheng suddenly understood and said, "However, the cost of transcending the death is too much, and there is a dispute? ”

"It's not a dispute, but it almost Kamikawa-sama to death!"

"Tell me more!"

"Under the bewitchment of the monks of Meichuan Temple, the Shangchuan family held more than a dozen water and land dojos one after another, and spent hundreds of Guan Wen Yongle money before and after, but they could not get the promise of becoming a Buddha. The old man was furious and said that if his son could no longer become a Buddha, he would stop worshipping the monks of Shingon Buddhism. ”

"After the monks of Umegawain Temple had no money and food to worship, they actually broke into the Kamikawa house and threatened that if there was no precept master of the Shingon sect to communicate with the gods and Buddhas for his son, he would inevitably fall into the animal path and never be reborn!"

Gao Shisheng was stunned, the monks of the Shingon Sect were so arrogant, and he didn't know whether he was really fearless or really a fool.

That can say this kind of thing to the master who worships him, not to mention that the other party has just entered a large amount of money, hundreds of yuan does not sound like much, but it is also a hundred thousand, and if it is replaced by bad money with poor quality, the amount is more than a few times.

Yongle money does not only refer to the copper coins engraved with the Yongle year name on the coin, but generally refers to most of the high copper content, the Ming money, the Song money, and the court itself in the early years of the Ming money, Song money, and the court itself in the early years of the dynasty 12 coins, a general term for a class of copper coins, and the corresponding bad money is mostly the name of each family, in recent years, the copper coins minted by mining without permission, not only the copper content is low, the quality is also worse, some even do not have the year inscription, it is purely a copper and iron piece with a hole punch in the middle.

According to the market in the first year of Yonglu, a Yongle coin can be exchanged for at least three or four bad coins, you must know that one stone of rice is only about Yongle money, and the Shangchuan family is only a small wealthy family of two thousand stones, and hundreds of offerings are by no means a minority.

"Poor Kamikawa-sama is almost sixty years old, and he was seriously ill by this remark, and after the lecturer of the Pure Land Shinshu learned the news, he often went to visit and persuaded Kamikawa-sama to convert, promising that as long as he converted to the Pure Land Shinshu, he would recite Nan Mu Amitabha Buddha every day, accumulate virtue and do good, not only could the only son be born as a Buddha as soon as possible, but even after his own death, he could be perfect."

After weighing the two sides, Lord Kamikawa decided to convert and sent someone to send the monks of Umegawa-in Temple out of the house. Because of this, the reputation of Shingon Buddhism was so bad that many people in the vicinity also converted to the Pure Land Shinshu. ”

"I see! The monks of Umegawain Temple have indeed gone too far. ”

It sounds inconceivable to be overly obsessed with whether or not you will be able to reincarnate as a Buddha after death in the presence of the monks, but it was not surprising at the time.

After the Yingren Rebellion, the world was plagued by wars one after another. The people have no means of making a living. From the ministers to the commoners, they all hope to be liberated through the gods and Buddhas. Some schools of thought came into being, including the Nichiren sect, which evolved from the Tendai sect.

Nichiren Buddhism advocates that believers can become Buddhas by reciting the Horenge-kyo Sutra day and night. The Pure Land sect that emerged at the same time was simpler, and it was not necessary to become a monk through the temple, as long as the "Nam no Amitabha" was chanted every day, the sins could be alleviated and the sea of suffering could be eliminated. The Pure Land Shinshu after the Pure Land Sect went even more extremely, abolishing all the rules and precepts, and the believers could achieve the right result without even becoming a monk.

The Pure Land Shinshu vigorously advocated the excesses of the so-called wicked, attracting a large number of soldiers, samurai, and thieves to become religious. As long as there is devotion to the gods and Buddhas, the disciples of the Pure Land Shinshu sect can be reborn in the "Pure Land".

Although the monks of Shingon Buddhism do not easily promise to become Buddhas, they want to continue to squeeze money and maximize their own interests, but it also shows that it is not easy to avoid sins by simply relying on transcendence in the philosophy of Shingon Buddhism. The monks eat fasting and chant sutras every day, abide by the rules and precepts, and do not dare to say that they will definitely become Buddhas, and it is obviously impossible for a warrior with the karma of killing to be free from the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation after death.

Nichiren sect and Pure Land Shinshu sects, which have no taboos, do not practice karma, and can lead everyone to become a Buddha as long as they are sincere, are out-and-out heresies.

Gao Shisheng's mother was a devout member of the Pure Land True Sect, and she also knew a lot about the various sects of Buddhism.

After listening to the reason for the feud between the two sects, Gao Shisheng can no longer simply regard this matter as a simple sectarian dispute, because it involves the problem of the Chinese family's temple, to put it bluntly, this is a private matter of the Kawakami family, if people don't want to make a big fuss, they can naturally just turn things into small things, big things into small things, and small things.

So far, the Imagawa family has not completely turned all the Toe wealthy clans into vassals, and the Mikawa family has only been indirectly controlled through the Matsudaira family.

Therefore, it is also recognized that many wealthy clans and temples in the two countries have the right to "inappropriate inspection by the shogunate" and "guardian inaccessibility", that is, the shogunate has granted them the right not to accept land seizures, the right to hide the stone high, and the guardian daimyo not to interfere in the friction and disputes between the wealthy clans over their own country.

As long as they do not attack each other, and even collude with other daimyo to rebel against the Imagawa family, the Junfu side is also willing to be more lenient with these wealthy families, and do not use the law to restrain them.

It was because of the defeat in the joint battle that the Kamikawa family was first reduced two years ago, and then it was changed to Insa-gun, and it was because of this that the three nearby townships, including Hirayama, were included in the direct command of Sunfu.

After the Kamikawa family went to Insa-gun, they definitely didn't dare to return to Fukichi County easily for no reason, so as not to be punished by Sunfu for other crimes.

This family temple is actually equivalent to being abandoned by the Shangchuan family.

But the problem is that the Pure Land Shinshu and the Shingon sect are unwilling to give up, and the two have gone from the initial dispute to a pure battle of will, and they do not give in to each other.

He glanced at Aoki Daizen: "Fu thief, no one reported to the county in the past, asked them to send someone to stop it?" ”

"The old men in the county will only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they will not be offended!" When Aoki Dashan heard this, he sneered twice, and said disdainfully: "Not only do you not care about yourself, but you don't allow others to take care of it, the power of the two sects in the Tokaido is already large, and the big and small people and wealthy families are vying to cling to each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say a word." If it is judged unfairly. caused it to launch a fight, gather believers, burn each other's temples, and even besiege their own city, it was not just a dozen or twenty people gathering to complain! ”

In today's world, it is common for the people of the wealthy family to take the opportunity to gather people to make trouble in the name of respecting the temple sect. The Hokuriku Province of Kaga Buddha Province was originally not the center of the country's wealthy families, large and small, who began to occupy manors in order to refuse to pay annual tribute, and even developed to the point of "driving away the important duties of the national guard".

The name of the Buddha country is actually "slandering the Dharma, destroying the Buddha statues and scriptures, and smashing the shrines and Buddhist pavilions", so that the appearance of "no Buddha world" shocked the shogunate and the opposition, and the world was in an uproar.

Gao Shisheng knew that what he said was true, so he was silent.
