Chapter 1827 Return to Kofukuji Temple for a Break
There was a lively chat at Maeda Yoshi's place, and Yoshihiro was not idle either.
After serving tea and seeing off the guests, only Yoshigan and Kamaojigo were left in the tea room.
Yin twirled the tea soup with his fingers and thought about it silently. After a while, he asked.
"Shixiang, what do you think of Mr. Lin's suggestion?"
Pu Sheng's hometown lowered his head and said with a hint of resentment.
"The matter is so serious that I would like to ask the sage to make a decisive decision. I will not dare to speak nonsense."
Yiyin raised his head, looked at Pu Sheng's hometown, and asked with a wry smile.
"Still angry?"
Pu Sheng clan bowed.
"I don't dare."
Yiyin sighed, the little girl had resentment in her heart, she still had to smooth it over.
He took the initiative to sit next to Kamou Shigo, held her hand, and asked softly.
"Really angry?"
Kamouso bit his lower lip.
"I don't dare to deceive the saint. I know I am not qualified...but I still can't help but feel a little angry..."
Yi Gin listened silently, not forgetting to play with Kamojigo's fingers in his hand. Their index fingers intertwined and their fingertips rubbed together, which reminded Kamojigo of a certain moment of upheaval and he couldn't help but blush.
Then, Yiyin sighed.
"Today I was too serious. The Spoelstra selection is of great importance and I dare not take it lightly.
I forgot to take your feelings into consideration these days, and it was my failure to consider everything that made it difficult for you."
Yoshigan knew very well that the crux of the conflict between the interests of Kamao clan and Maeda was all caused by himself.
In order to take over power from the local Sibo, Yiyin reorganized the Tongxinzhong and established the Tongxin Secretariat, turning the Tongxinzhong from a personal guard into a central organization and pushing a group of girls to the political front.
Close ministers such as Kamao Clan Township and Ii Naomasa are also very impressive. Although they are young, they work hard and are worthy of the trust of the bank.
As the central government and local governments compete for power, the relationship between the two parties is naturally not much better.
In addition, the relationship between Yiyin and the Kamao clan broke through the last layer of window paper. She watched Samurai Ji enter and exit the courtyard with her own eyes, denting her beloved man into various postures, and naturally she felt resentful.
Political enemy and love rival combined into one, it would be damning if the village of Pusheng clan is not in trouble.
Yiyin said softly.
"If you feel uncomfortable, let Naomasa Ii or Kanade Tachibana take care of the care of the hospital in the future."
Although Yi Yin has already embarked on the Shinto path, the mugwort incident has become an inevitable and slutty act of political integration, and is accepted by the martial arts all over the world as a noble sacrifice.
But in a female-dominated world, this kind of thing can only be done silently, and it cannot be as grand and public as opening a harem in a male-dominated world.
Yoshigan needs trusted close ministers to guard the door. If the Kamo family can't bear it psychologically, then let Tachibana Kanade or Ii Naomasa take over.
Pusheng's hometown was warmly cared for by the saint, and his heart gradually felt warm and regretful.
She couldn't help but blame herself. The saint had no choice but to bear the humiliation and have in-depth exchanges with many Ji warriors for the sake of Shiba.
Are these things that saints are willing to do? Absolutely not! Those are helpless political compromises!
Not only did I not understand the saint's suffering, but I also poured salt on his wounds and made him bother to comfort himself. It was really a heinous crime.
Pu Sheng's Township, Pu Sheng's Township, you claim to have deep roots in love, but when the trouble comes, you only know how to cause trouble for him, so how can you say you love him!
Taking a deep breath, Kamaojigo shook his head and said.
"Sage, I have nothing to do, I can do it.
It was me, Meng Lang, who caused you trouble today. I will not make this mistake again in the future. Please give me another chance.
It is my great honor in this life to be able to guard the gate and the courtyard for you, please feel free to leave it to me."
Seeing how quickly Gamo Clan figured it out, Yi Gin felt a little hesitant in his heart.
"You...really can do it? In fact, you don't have to force yourself, I can understand it."
"My words come from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no intention of forcing them!"
Seeing that she was so determined, Yiyin couldn't resist her kindness, so he could only nod.
"Then I will continue to trouble you from now on."
Pu Shengshixiang looked gloomy, but still gritted his teeth and nodded.
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head. Sure enough, it was still too much, this silly girl.
Kamo's hometown was in a low mood, so he subconsciously dropped the subject, cheered up, and talked about business.
"The sage asked Mr. Lin about Spo's selection and restructuring strategy. In fact, I was also a little moved, but I was afraid that it would cost too much and I would not be able to sustain it financially."
Yiyin rubbed the corners of his eyes and sighed.
"Every time I find that I have some money and I think I have nothing to worry about, there is always someone who can find some new tricks for me to keep from spending all my money. They are really unwilling to do so.
That’s all, as long as we can pacify the world, do less killing, and spend more money, just spend it.”
Pu Shengshixiang said with a wry smile.
"But it is true that the Sibo Zhong Fund cannot bear such a huge burden. Now it is only three places in Sibo, and the finances of the Zhong Fund are still in good health.
But if we want to spread it all over the world and buy talents from all over the world, it will be a huge number. I am afraid that the current loyalty fund does not have the ability to bear such a huge financial burden."
Yiyin shook his head.
"The island country is not a celestial dynasty, and I am not as good as Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. I cannot afford the ambition to bribe the people of the world.
What I want to bribe is the island country's millions of samurai families. As long as half of them can live off the Shiba family and have their hearts set on the Shiba family, that will be enough.
A population of half a million is only 80,000 households, and raising one person per household is only 80,000 banners. Our Sibo family can try to raise one.
However, you are right. Don’t spread it too widely at the beginning, otherwise you will be unable to follow up and give up halfway. I want to try it out in some pilot areas first.
When I return to Tawenyama Castle, I will ask Ishida Mitsunari to find out about this year's financial report of Tadashi Fund and see how much it can afford.
In addition to the three major Sputnik areas, I hope to include Uesugi, Takeda and Hojo in Kanto, Izumi, Kawauchi, Kii, Yamato and other places in Kinki into the examination area for Sputnik selection."
Kamojigo nodded, understanding what the sage meant.
The saints want to bring under control the various divine families in Kanto and the Shiba camp in Kinki, and the pro-Shiba forces outside the Shiba family.
Originally, everyone is our own people, and using strong political methods to integrate them would hurt feelings.
But if Shiba is used for selection and the local samurai family's heirs are given the opportunity to serve in the Shiba family, they will naturally flock to it, and the upper management will not object.
Just like the difficulties facing Maeda's interests, it is not convenient for the upper echelons in these places to interrupt the progress of the grassroots samurai families, ruining their futures and easily creating enemies.
On the one hand, it is a method worth trying to use the pro-Spoken forces to test the selection and restructuring of Sibo, and on the other hand, to buy off grassroots martial arts in various places and gradually integrate various places into the political orbit of the Sibo world.
Kamoji was trying to understand the thoughts and spirit of the saint, but Yoshigami stared at her beautiful face as she bowed her head in thought.
This little girl is really becoming more and more iconic as she grows older, especially after her relationship with Yiyin pierced the last layer of window paper, the budding greenness gradually faded away, and the charming mature temperament gradually emerged.
Yiyin looked at it and couldn't help but tremble with his fingers. After all, the cabbage grown by watering his own family was crisp and delicious.
Hamo was still thinking about something when he was suddenly picked up by Yoshigan. He was so frightened that he put his hands around Yoshigan's neck and looked at Yoshigan in surprise.
"saint?"
Yiyin lowered his head, kissed her, and blew in her ear.
"My little clan is angry. I don't care about anyone today. I just stay with you."
Pusheng's village was both happy and embarrassed. He subconsciously looked outside and whispered.
"It's broad daylight, there are so many people, and I don't know when Mr. Maeda will come. Don't make fun of me."
Yiyin kicked the tea table out of the way and walked out with a smile.
"Even if Maeda Yoshida comes, let her go away. I will accompany my little clan today."
Pu Sheng buried his head in Yiyin's arms, his eyes wandered, his charm was revealed, his face turned red and almost bled.
She didn't dare to raise her head at all. The saint was holding her and walking on the porch, and she didn't know what those on duty would think when they saw this scene.
Pu Shengshixiang felt that his body was heavy with heat, but his mind was drifting.
She hugged the saint's neck tightly with her hands and buried her head deeply in the saint's chest. The tip of her nose was filled with his masculine scent. Her mind went blank and she didn't want to think about anything anymore.
Kamojigo didn't know, but Ii Naomasa in the distance watched Yoshigan carrying Kamojigo back to his house, his teeth grinding.
After a long while, Naomasa Ii sighed and gave orders to the people around him.
"The saint is tired today. He sees no outsiders and blocks all non-military matters."
"Sir, if Lord Maeda Yoshida comes..."
"I said! Block them all! Don't you understand what I say!"
"Hi! Hi!"
Naomasa Ii suddenly exploded, shocking his subordinates to the point of bowing and admitting their mistake.
She was so irritable that she waved her hands and told her subordinates to go away. She looked at the winter scenery in the courtyard, feeling sad.
———
After that, Yoshigami stayed in Iga Ueno Castle for a few more days, fed Maeda to his heart's content, and then headed to Yamatoguchi, entering the Nara Basin from the Iga Basin, preparing to return to the home city of Tamonyama Castle.
Halfway through the journey, the cavalry met a nun sent by Kofukuji Temple.
It turned out that Master Changjue, the head of Xingfu Temple, learned that the saint had returned to his hometown and sent someone to wait on the road early. He wanted to invite the saint to visit Xingfu Temple as a courtesy to the landlord.
Speaking of which, Kofukuji Temple and the Shiba family were the earliest partners. Master Nagakaku provided a lot of support to Yiyin in the early years, and the relationship between the two parties was very harmonious.
After the rise of the Shiba family, they have been helping Kofukuji Temple Chief Kaku suppress Tsutsui Junkei, which made Tsutsui Junkei obviously have the advantage, but he was still unable to annex Yamato and became a heroine who dominated the country.
Over the years, Tsutsui Junkei seems to have given up and has become much more settled.
Relying on Kofukuji Temple, the Shingon Sect was finally able to rule the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom stably. Master Nagakaku's practice of ceding Peking University and exchanging asylum for the Shiba family became a political maneuver approved by the Shingon Sect.
Since it was Master Changjue's warm invitation, Yiyin decided to give this old friend a face and turned to Xingfu Temple for a day's rest.
There are three people sitting in the Zen room, and the scent of sandalwood brings out the thoughts of otherworldly Buddhism, making the mind peaceful.
Yoshigan sat in the main seat and listened to Master Nagakaku's lecture on Zen. The guest on one side was Master Tenkaku, also known as Kitahata Yujiao.
The Kitahata family is a famous family in Minami Ise, hereditary Ise Kuniji, and is the nominal ruler of Ise.
The main body of the samurai government is the three clans, one is Minamoto, the second is Taira, and the third is Fujiwara.
The Genpei clan was the son of the emperor who was released, granted ministerial status, and given a surname. The Fujiwara clan was the head of the public family.
Thousands of years ago, the Fujiwara clan originated from the emperor's relatives, and they were married to the emperor for generations. They used the name of Guanbai Regency to evade the emperor, and ruled the world as a public official. This was called the government of Guanbai in history.
After the Fujiwara family became rich, their descendants continued, and there were mainly four branches in later generations, which were powerful in the court and local areas.
The third generation shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu massacred the emperor's court and destroyed Shintoism, but he was unable to eradicate the local Fujiwara clan branch because they were already closely integrated with the local samurai family.
In the end, the Ashikaga Shogunate could only recognize the samurai status of these Fujiwara clan, and the local Fujiwara clan mainly came from two branch families, namely the Fujiwara North Family and the Fujiwara Minami Family.
In other words, after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu destroyed the Emperor's family, the Fujiwara North family and Fujiwara Minami family that remained were the samurai families.
On the other hand, not all Genji are samurai, there are also public-style Genji, and the head of the Kitahata family is one of them.
The Kitahata family originated from the common family of the Murakami Genji family. Murakami Genji was one of the twenty-first-class Genji clan, and he was also the Genji with the most noble blood status.
The Kawachi Genji, to which the shogun belongs, originated from the Seiwa Genji, because during the Seiwa Emperor's period, the number of descendants who were sent to foreign countries was the largest, but they were not as noble as the Murakami Genji.
But there are advantages to having more people. The Genji in Kawachi, who was born in the Seiwa Genji family, produced generals for generations and eventually became the pillars of the samurai family and established a political regime belonging to the samurai family.
Originally, Genji Murakami was the elder, but he couldn't bear the fact that the direct descendant of the Genji in Kawachi had the ability, so the whole world was taken away from him, and the title of elder Genji was naturally taken away.
The Kitahata family, a branch of the Murakami Genji family, was a member of the middle court family, and was a rare military general among the public Genji family.
In the war to overthrow the Emperor's court in the early days of the Ashikaga Shogunate, the Kitahata family suffered a lot from the Ashikaga Shogun. In the end, they were outnumbered and forced to surrender.
The Kitahata family was indeed capable. The Ashikaga shogunate did not want to cause more trouble, so it simply made the Kitahata family the Ise Imperial Secretary, becoming a rare imperial official in the samurai regime, which could be regarded as turning officialdom into military affairs.
At the time of Kitahata Gokaku's generation, the Kitahata family was still not weak in fighting power. They unified the Southern Ise and coveted the Northern Ise. This frightened the Northern Ise samurai family and sought refuge with the powerful Rokkaku family at the time.
Unfortunately, it is not as good as fate. The Rokkaku family and the Kitahata family are competing for hegemony in Ise country. Who knows that a monster Oda Nobunaga appears in Owari country.
The Oda family rose rapidly, killed the Rokkaku family, and invaded Minami Ise. Kitahata Tomokazu had no choice but to surrender, and welcomed Oda Nobunaga's sister Oda Shinboshi as his heir, and changed his name to Kitahata Shinboshi.
Originally, according to the tradition of the samurai family, the Kitahata family knelt and licked like this, and the bloodline could be replaced by the Oda family. They just wanted to keep the family name, and that was the end of the matter.
However, Kitahata Shinbao is not a good person and insists on breaking the rules. He wants to eradicate Kitahata Gujiao and her two daughters, who have already lived in seclusion, so as to avoid future troubles.
Rabbits know how to bite when they are anxious, let alone Kitahata Tutor, a master swordsman.
Originally, Kitahata Guojiao wanted to fight to the death, but she remembered that before her friend Nobutora Takeda left, he once advised her that if the Oda family left no room, she could go to Shiba Sage for reasoning.
The Kitahata family completely surrendered in accordance with the tradition of the samurai family, but the Oda family wanted to break the rules and kill people to seize land, which was not in line with the principles of the samurai family.
Sage Shiba is the incarnation of the martial arts principles, and he will naturally uphold justice.
As a result, Shiba Yoshigan came forward and took the two daughters of Kitahata Matukyo under their surname. Kitahata Matukyo then went to Kofukuji Temple to become a monk, taking the Buddhist name Tenkaku, finally preserving the bloodline of the Kitahata family.
Kitahata was so grateful that he instigated the riots in the Ise samurai family when Shiba Oda started the war, so that Kitahata was unable to support the Oda army. Later, Oda Nobunaga was furious and severely punished.
It is true that if you get the right way, you will get a lot of help, but if you get the wrong way, you will get little help.
