Baron Ichiki Kitoro looked at the sinking face of His Majesty in front of him, and remembered Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka, who had been frightened to resign and die of illness before, and knew that he could only use the most humble and cautious attitude to play the role of his own messenger. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he lowered his head, Baron Ichigi Kitoro's report that had already been drafted poured out at the fastest speed: "Your Majesty, the great monk of Koyasan is playing a performance, asking Your Majesty to allow the people of Koyasan to practice the 18-day Yakushi Liuliguang Goma Method in the outer garden of the palace city, so as to pray for Your Majesty's Emperor Tu Yongzuo and the prosperity of the empire......"

Miyagi Gaien is the junction of the Imperial Palace and the city of Tokyo, and during the Edo period, it was built as a dry landscape of ancient pines and white sand and gravel, and the sparse space and the white sand that made a sound when stepped on were once used by the shogunate as a special means to guard against ninjas.

But in the same way, the dry landscape of dwarf pines, which are widely spaced, does not provide any shelter, and the people of Tokyo can see what the large groups of monks are doing just by standing outside the Gyoen.

It was a signal, a tough backlash against the Meiji-era abolition of Buddhism, and a warning to the Imperial family.

At least that's what Hirohito thinks at the moment.

Not surprisingly, Baron Kazuki Kituro heard the young emperor twisting his golf club vigorously.

But in the end, Hirohito put down the club and nodded: "For more than a thousand years, Koyasan has been the most loyal guardian of the empire, and I am very pleased with their loyalty, and I have allowed the Koyasan monks to enter the palace to meet them. ”

Seeing that Hirohito had finally suppressed his anger, Baron Ichiki Kitoro finally put his mind at ease.

As a member of the Imperial Faction, Baron Ichiki Kitoro, who has had the opportunity to face Kiyomitsu all year round, can still grasp the psychological activities of the Showa Emperor, who has always been emotionally exposed. Since Hirohito didn't go out at the first time and use his cronies as a punching bag, then in this relatively rational situation, he still has to report something that can make the emperor feel relieved.

"Nagata Tetsuyama, director of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Military Command Department, has something to ask to see Your Majesty. ”

As soon as he heard the name of Nagata Tetsuyama, the emperor, who knew him very well, immediately smiled: "My Wei Qing is here? Very good, let him wait in the audience room for a while, I will meet him personally!"

Such a straightforward attitude made Baron Ichiki Kitoro sigh secretly in his heart again. Although he has the supreme power in the country, it is clear that His Majesty does not know what it means for an emperor to control his subordinates. His likes and dislikes are too obvious, and his emotions are too outward, whether it is the ministers of the palace or the military leaders who can often meet with him, and even have the right to play the throne, they can grasp the emperor's personality in a good way.

And no matter what kind of person they are, they have climbed to this position from the treacherous political struggle, and they have enough experience and skill to play the emperor around. Although they may not have the courage of Oda Nobunaga, it is no problem to learn from Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Regardless of anything else, over the years, there have been repeated incidents of staff officers leaving alone, and the military only needs to say that "the war has begun, and for the sake of the dignity of the empire and the lives of the imperial soldiers, I hope to take a stand of support for them." ”

And at this time, Hirohito would only rub his hands excitedly and wait for the good news ahead. The emperor couldn't remember that even in a normal feudal dynasty, the emperor would have to severely punish such a general who did what he wanted, lest the military get out of his grasp. And the incident of the army that can make the emperor angry and go to prison on the ordinary level, when it comes to Hirohito, as long as his uncle Prince Kanin Palace and the Minister of War say a few kind words, Hirohito himself can transform into the most fanatical militarist!

Although it is an ancient imperial family that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Imperial Family has also been a decoration and vase for too long, so that the Imperial Family has no reasonable and effective way to educate the heirs of the imperial family. This frivolous and emotional emperor may be more suitable to be an army red deer who can only shout the slogan of "Seven Lives to Serve the Country" at the night meeting of Nagata Tetsuyama, rather than leading the military headquarters that is already full of red deer......

What's more, His Majesty the Emperor's enlightenment teacher is still the army horse manure model Nogi Noshinori who is famous for his suicide charge!

With such a belly, Baron Ichiki Kitoro still resigned himself to arranging everything.

When Hirohito left the audience room, Baron Ichiki Kitoro could see the almost trotting steps of his majesty the Emperor, and the occasional half-sentence that came out of the Emperor's mouth: "...... Just wait, wait for them to jump out on their own, and I will be able to sweep everything away!"

Baron Ichiki Kitoro looked at Hirohito's back in silence and thought suspiciously, "Your Majesty has been poured any hallucinogenic drugs by Nagata Iron Mountain again?"

......

.........

Not only in Tokyo, but also in Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Hokkaido, the governors of each prefecture are facing applications from local Shingon temples to hold various Goma fire offerings.

For a variety of reasons, these Goma fire offerings were allowed to pass without exception, and their time was set for September 18.

And the Shingon Yama Mountain in Wakayama Prefecture is even more enthusiastic about the upcoming Goma Fire Shrine Conference.

The abbots and monks who had already obtained the qualifications of the Sangha were busy preparing the goma wood to be burned at the assembly with their own monks.

The abbots of the temples in Koyasan are busy contacting the forest farms and procuring timber, and from time to time they can hear conversations like this:

"No, the temple is in charge of preparing dried pine wood that is cut into a rectangular shape. The milk mulberry wood full of sap was ordered by Seikannon-in Temple in the south, and you are in the wrong place. ”

"What we ordered was a cedar root cut into small pieces, which should be sent to the West Amitabha Temple. ”

The monks who have already obtained the qualifications of Ayanli hold a brush and write various mantras and scriptures on the wooden strips that are cut straight to the square. And every piece of Goma wood that is about to be sent to the Goma Fire Altar to burn is equivalent to a Buddhist mantra.

Only a great sect with a thousand-year-old history like Koyasan is qualified to make such a big scene.

In the midst of such a hectic situation, several wandering monks wearing hats and black monk's robes, with tin rods on their backs and handprints in their hands, slowly walked up the mountain path of Koyasan.

The monks patrolling on the mountain road looked at the majestic face of the monk at the head and the beautiful hair like a military general, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "It's Cihai Da Yang Li who has returned to the mountain!"
