After leaving Kyoto, Yoshigan finally followed the instructions given by Akechi Mitsuhide and began to call himself the elder of the Genji family, raising the banner of Hachiman Taimu and calling him daddy.
It is really difficult for others to refute the title of the father of the world. With Hachiman Taimu’s white flag in hand, Yoshigami dared to claim to be the elder of the Minamoto clan.
What's more, he was the husband of the former shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru. He became a monk to pray for his deceased wife, and his character was noble and innocent.
Even if Ashikaga Yoshiaki knew that he called himself the elder of the Genji family, he could only hold it in and not be able to refute it.
Master Changjue always felt that something was wrong, but she was unwilling to delve into it.
The Shingon sect is currently in an awkward situation. There has been a long-standing dispute over the ancient and modern sect within the sect, and a new sect has emerged independently in Wakayama, no longer obeying the instructions of the old sect in Koyasan, the main headquarters.
After finally winning over the Hosō Sect and obtaining the orthodoxy of Kōfukuji Temple, he also encountered the evil nun Tsutsui Junkei of the samurai family, which made Master Nagakaku, the head of Kōfukuji Temple, restless.
If it hadn't been for the great master Yoshigan Shiba who suppressed Tsutsui Shunkei, Kofukuji Temple would have ended badly.
Shiba Yiyin intends to become a monk. No matter what his purpose is, the Shingon Sect will not delve into it. Being able to lead this patron saint back to the sect and deter the unruly people is more important than anything else.
Master Changjue put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and said.
"The Great Imperial Palace has a compassionate heart and has gained deep understanding of Buddhist scriptures, which is admired by poor nuns.
Since you have made up your mind, I will override this once and perform the razor ceremony for you to complete the ceremony for you."
Yiyin glanced at Master Changjue and asked.
"Must be shaved?"
Although he has shaved his head, Yiyin is still the most beautiful boy he has waited for a thousand years, but after all, he feels a little unhappy when he thinks about having a bald head.
Changjue was stunned for a moment and said Shanshan Road.
"When you enter my Buddhist door, you will finally get rid of the root of troubles. This rule...um...or you can cut off your hair short to clarify your ambition, okay?"
Changjue thought that Yiyin was a young man after all, and it was natural to love beauty, so he would probably not be happy with shaving his head. However, the mantra religious law was strict, and it would not be good if he did not express his feelings.
That's why she proposed to cut her hair short.
The Chinese government considers haircut as unfilial on the grounds that the hair and skin of the body affects the parents. In Buddhism, tonsure means to cut off the worldly world and devote oneself to the Buddha.
Buddhism in the island country follows the Celestial Dynasty and has the razor ritual. The social atmosphere places great importance on rituals and it is not convenient to dispense with it.
Master Changjue was a little worried that Yiyin would not be happy, but Yiyin was overjoyed.
Can I get a haircut openly?
He has long been worried about the rules of husbandry in this world and cannot cut his hair.
When he was called to have sex by Oda Nobunaga, he took the opportunity to vow to revive the Shiba family, broke his resolve, and felt comfortable for a while.
In the past three years, his hair has grown longer and longer, which has long made him miserable. Unexpectedly, being a monk also has the benefit of cutting hair, which is great!
Yiyin said.
"Then let's have short hair."
Both of them nodded with satisfaction, and Changjue asked.
"I would like to ask the Grand Imperial Office, if the family temple in Duowen Mountain City has a name?"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"No."
Master Changjue smiled.
"To become a monk in the Great Imperial Palace, I still lack a name.
You walk in the world, be compassionate to all living beings, and bless all peoples. You moisturize, nourish, and provide fluids. The more you have, the more you gain.
I think the word "Jindo" is very appropriate. It can be called "Jindo Hall", what do you think?"
The name of Yiyin was obtained by Master Changjue. Now it is not too abrupt to choose the name of Zhai. It is done in one step.
Yiyin nodded and murmured.
"Shiba Yiyin enters Dotsudado Hall Kenshin? Then so be it."
Jindo, sounds good.
———
Duowen Shancheng prepared for several days under the guidance of Master Changjue, and then held the monkhood ceremony.
In front of the Buddha statue, Master Changjue was solemn and solemn. She lightly touched the razor on Yiyin's head, which had already been cut off, and completed the razor ceremony.
From then on, Yiyin officially became a monk and practiced Buddhism. He broke away from the fate of the mortal world. He was called Shiba Yiyin and entered the Dao Jinduo Hall Kenshin. He was not allowed to call the Grand Imperial Palace any more and changed his name to Jindoden, Kenshin Gong.
After completing the ceremony, Master Nagakaku was satisfied and said goodbye and returned to Kofukuji Temple.
At this time, Shiba's retainers arrived at Duwenshan Castle one after another to pay homage to their lord.
———
In the meeting hall, Shiba Yiyin smoothed his hair, which was short enough to reach his ears. It was as refreshing and comfortable as in his previous life.
The sunny boy smiled at the two people in front of him and said.
"The subjugation of Nanhanoi was successfully completed, thank you for your hard work."
Nizi Shengjiu and Yamazaka Yukimori fell to the ground and kowtowed together, not daring to say a word.
After Yamanaka Yukimori stood up, she looked at Yoshigage's short hair with a red eye. She had also heard a little about what happened to her master in Kyoto.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki is uncivilized and ungrateful. Rumors spread in Kyoto. In order to prove his innocence, the Lord had no choice but to become a monk and practice Buddhism to show his chastity.
I recall the time when Mihaoshi went to Luo, his ancestors were murdered, and the whole shogunate was in chaos.
It was the lord who rushed back from Kanto to take charge of the overall situation, helped the shogunate to bring order to the chaos, and allowed Ashikaga Yoshiaki to go to Luo and succeed as shogun.
But how did those shameless people in the shogunate treat their lord? It was really disgusting.
Yamazaka Yukimori was indignant, and Nizi Shengjiu sighed secretly.
Shiba Yiyin's behavior is so noble that he is not like someone who can survive in the politics of the Wu family. Someone in his position would not survive very long.
The Wu family is only interested in profit and is treacherous. They are definitely not the righteous people they claim to be. The Nizi family rose and fell suddenly, and they had enough of the Wu family's ruthless betrayal.
Nizi Katsuhisa also admired Shiba Yiyin. He was framed by the samurai family time and time again, but it was not easy for this young man to stick to his principles and stick to his principles.
The most important thing is that Shiba Yigin is too good at fighting. Since his debut, from recent times to Kanto, he has been invincible and invincible.
Therefore, even if he has a bottom line and principles in politics, it is easy for others to steal him. But others do not dare to really make him anxious, and they only dare to use morality to run against him.
All in all, he has the ability to be kind and can't afford to be tricked.
Yiyin didn't know that the two concubines were sighing in their hearts. He was concentrating on asking about things in Nanhei.
Yamazaka Yukimori was a little absent-minded, and Nizi Shengjiu steeled himself to answer. The two monarchs and ministers played in harmony, and time passed quickly.
After Yi Gin had finished asking, he looked at Yamanaka Yukimori who was somewhat silent and said with a smile.
"What happened today? You didn't say a word. This is not like you, Yamanaka Hime."
Gu Mao
Yamanaka Yukimori's nose felt sore and he whispered.
"I'm just a little unworthy of my lord."
Nizi Shengjiu secretly pulled Yamanaka Yukimori, what did this little fool say? Is she pitying the master? These words seemed to be overstepping.
Yiyin smiled slightly and said softly.
"Xingsheng, don't worry about me, some Xiaoxiao are playing tricks, they can't defeat me.
You did a good job this time, and I am very satisfied. The matter in Nanhanoi must be concluded as soon as possible, and your Kanto Princess Warriors should be withdrawn as soon as possible."
Yamanaka Yukimori frowned and asked.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Yiyin looked at the two concubines and sighed.
"Something happened. His Highness Uesugi was defeated in the Lower Kingdom. Although the army successfully withdrew, the situation is already a bit unstable.
I may need to go to Kanto once to stabilize the situation."
Nizi Shengjiu couldn't help but interjected.
"My lord, the situation in Kyoto is unstable. If you go to Kanto at this time, will you... will you..."
She didn't know what to say, but Yiyin understood what she meant and said.
"The Kanto strategy has been advanced for two years, and the Shiba family has already established a foundation there. This is what the Shiba family's loyal warriors paid for with their blood. I can't ignore it.
They are waiting for me in Kanto, I have to go. As for these days, I have already made arrangements.
Takada Yono prepared a sum of money as the first batch of annuities from the Shibachu Fund, which will be issued in the middle of the year, covering the entire Shiba area in recent years.
In addition, I will re-adjust the borders of recent weeks and publicly reward and punish the gains and losses of the past two years."
Nizi Katsuhisa nodded. Before Shiba Yiyin left, he chose to use both kindness and power, using the annuity to favor the middle and lower classes, and to reward and punish the upper class for their deeds in the past two years.
Yiyin continued.
"Ni Ziji, you have done a good job in the past two years, and I am very satisfied. When I leave this time, I will entrust you with greater power. I hope you will guard the nearby Sibo territory for me.
Especially, help me look after Akechi Mitsuhide. I am a little worried about her."
In fact, Nizi Katsuhisa doesn't want to take too much care, and there is no one in the Shiba family's senior management who is good at it. To put it nicely, it is called a gathering of elites. To put it badly, it is just a thorn in the side.
The more she controls, the more people are offended, and she may not be able to control her. Takada Yono was managed step by step by her, and she sat in a high position in Shiba Town in spite of the yin and yang.
But the master praised himself so highly that Nizi Shengjiu couldn't say anything and could only remain silent.
Yiyin didn't know that Nizi Shengjiu was complaining in his heart, he said.
"When I go to Kanto this time, I shouldn't be away for too long.
The shogunate here has been in chaos these days, and I'm worried. I will come back as soon as the situation in Kanto is stabilized."
Hearing that Yiyin would not be gone for long, Nizi Shengjiu breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed to the ground.
"I accept my order."
Yoshiyin looked at Yamanaka Yukimori and said.
"As the deacon of the Kanto Palace, the Kanto Princess Warriors under your command should withdraw from Nanhanoi as soon as possible and prepare to go back to Kanto with me."
"Hi!"
Yiyin said softly.
"When Maeda and the others arrive, I will hold a review and reorganize your authority.
Ni Ziji, you must be mentally prepared."
Nizi Shengjiu nodded, knowing that he couldn't shirk it. The master repeatedly emphasized that he would probably be responsible for the affairs of the recent Sbo Territory.
Yiyin indeed has this idea.
Maeda was obsessed with getting married. In the past two years, he formed cliques to expand his strength and build his own small mountain, which made Yoshihiro feel uncomfortable.
Akechi Mitsuhide has gone too far, and most of the troubles that have arisen in recent times have something to do with her.
Takada Haruno is becoming more and more smart and capable, but her ambition is growing faster than her power. Although Yoshigan cherishes her and misses her Yukino, he really doesn't dare to expand the scope of her power.
Ishida Mitsunari is in charge of the Shiba Tadashi Fund, a powerful weapon. Originally, Yiyin should keep an eye on her, but due to the chaos in Kanto, it can no longer take care of this matter for the time being.
After thinking about it, Yiyin really didn't know who should be responsible for the recent wave of affairs, except Katsuhisa Nizi, who knew the current affairs and knew the right measures.
The previous separation of powers proved to be a failure, which made him deeply understand that in this chaotic Middle Ages, playing with military, political and diplomatic separation is to internally consume one's own strength and allow others to take advantage of loopholes.
This time, he won't be gone for too long. So, let's simply hand over the leadership to Nizi Katsuhisa to coordinate the overall situation.
Although the party in Nizi Mountain was not the first Ji warrior to follow Yiyin, they were the less power-hungry party in Sibo's family.
Nizi Shengjiu only acted within his own authority and was very cautious. This may be related to the defeat of Nizi's family. This descendant of Nizi was very averse to internal fighting and never liked to cause trouble.
Yamanaka Yukimori is infatuated, and although her abilities are a bit lacking, it is convenient for Yoshigami to control her power.
The deacon of the Kanto Palace is not very powerful, and most of the Kanto Princess Warriors under her command are from the old Yangbei clan of Xiaetsu. They were all subordinates who were persuaded by Yi Gin and given to Yamanaka Yukimori.
To put it in a darker way, Yukimori Yamanaka is the hostage under Yoshigan's control. Her power comes entirely from Yoshigan, and she can also allow Nizi Katsuhisa to take on more responsibilities and make Yoshigan feel at ease.
Power is bottom-up recognition and top-down control. Yiyin is sometimes helpless. His power base is vague and his strength fluctuates.
The prestige of being invincible, emotional and physical ambiguity, and the distribution of economic benefits are all the reasons why the Wu family is willing to obey his orders.
Do you think he is weak? He can mobilize millions of stones with a single shout from a high place, and Wan Ji will follow the direction of the military flag.
Do you think he is strong? The reasons why these warriors responded to the call are not pure, and intrigues are inevitable. Yiyin must balance all aspects of the relationship, which makes people exhausted.
This is the uncomfortable part of guarding the daimyo under the shogunate's guard system. Their power comes from tradition, and they have to act according to the rules and balance the rights and interests of all those who are corrupt.
As for the great names of the Warring States Period, most of them started out as subordinates. Even if their identities were cleared, they were outside the rules of the game of the shogunate's guardianship system, which had advantages and disadvantages.
Because they were afraid that latecomers would learn from others and overpower their superiors, the Warring States Daimyos had a greater sense of crisis and were more willing to govern with an iron fist and make reforms that would help enhance their own strength.
For example, Oda Nobunaga, who has traveled the furthest, can ignore the interests of local samurai families, break the rules of the game, destroy checkpoints, and open up trade.
Take the fat piece of business profit from the mouths of the local warriors and put it into your own bowl.
What's more, she took advantage of the separation of peasants and soldiers to separate the Wu family from the land and focus on military operations.
A large number of younger and younger daughters of the samurai family who had no inheritance rights were incorporated into the army, strengthening the military strength of the Oda family.
The middle and high-level warrior families were concentrated together and disconnected from the local area, which made it difficult for them to unite and resist the tyranny of their master.
The Hime samurai, who had been stripped of their land attributes, could transfer their territories to Oda Nobunaga according to military needs. The ashigaru whose treatment and status were improved solidified the foundation of the army.
Oda Nobunaga, who broke the samurai family's privileges, had a mobilization power far greater than the territory of two million stone. She could concentrate her power to the maximum extent, which was something that traditional guardian daimyo could not do.
As the banner of traditional virtues, Shiba Yiyin will not go beyond the boundaries. Instead, he must be willing to be bound by the tradition of the Wu family in order to gain morality and the support of the Wu family group.
The only thing Yiyin can do is to find the most trustworthy Wu family group, and use their bodies, emotions, blood, and interests to tie these people tightly and drive them.
The one party in the Nizi Mountain is the Spo family that Yiyin trusts most at this stage.
