The Honganji Temple appears as if it had just ascended to the throne, and it is a sign of great ambition and preparation for a great career.
The Mother Honganji Temple suppressed the Ichijo Ikei, rectified the internal affairs, and digested the territory gained by the expansion of the eight-generation Dharma Master Renjoshangren after he reformed the Ichijo Sect.
This policy was right and correct, and she recognized it in her heart.
But as the next generation of Dharma Master, she must have her own attitude, express her own demands, and establish her own base.
You must never be obedient to your mother and follow the rules. Only in this way can you control people's hearts and use them for yourself.
In the era of Master Zhengru, being suppressed has harmed the interests of many people, and these people will be her natural supporters.
Therefore, while not touching her mother's rights, she shouted loudly to win over the ambitious expansionists, and her reputation within the sect grew.
This is the political basis on which Honganji Hiannyu can grasp the real power immediately after the master of Zhengnyu is enthroned.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for new expansion and new benefits.
The Zaga people led by Suzuki Shigehide are the most powerful armed believers near Ishiyama Honganji Temple. Of course, she will not allow this power to be used on others.
She didn't care that the Takeda family wanted to recruit Nagao Kagetora (Uesugi Terutora) in Hokurikudo, and she didn't care that Yoshigan Shiba was being harmed.
What she was concerned about was whether the Zahe Zhong, the elite under the Ichigo clan, were still under the control of Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
Suzuki Shigehide naturally understood the Dharma Master's concerns and was willing to obey Ichigo Somotoyama's orders.
But she had to accept the Sibo family's request.
Although Zahe Zhong has the support of Xiang Zong, their own situation is quite bad.
Before the recent wars, the Hatakeyama family's power had not diminished, and they might return to Kii at any time with the support of some samurai families in the country.
Once this happens, Suzuki Shigehide, who initiated the Kokuichi-kui campaign to expel the guardian, will undoubtedly die, and Zaga Township will also be razed to serve as a warning to others.
For this reason, Zahezhong and Genlaizhong, who were the leaders of the National Ichikui, joined the Miyoshi side in the recent battle and fully supported the Miyoshi family in defeating the powerful local faction of the shogunate.
But who would have thought that the Hatakeyama family, a powerful local faction, was indeed defeated in the war, but the rise of Yoshigan Shiba reunited the powerful local faction.
She was forced to submit to the young man during the battle, and was rewarded accordingly. She served as the guardian of Kii, eliminating her own hidden dangers.
Qianxin treated her well, but this was not the main reason why she came forward to persuade the Master for the Sibo family. She did it for her own interests.
After obtaining the guardianship of Kii, the grievances between the Zaga clan and the Hatakeyama family were eliminated, and Suzuki Shigehide was considered by all parties to have entered the shogunate's camp.
Whether she wants to admit it or not, except for the vast mountainous area south of Kii, she is surrounded by enemies.
She was the thorn in the side of the shogunate in Minami Konji, and she received strong hostility.
The Genlai people in the west hated her deeply for betraying her trust in recent wars and attacking the Genlai Temple.
To the east, Nan Yamato and Tsutsui Junkei were wary of her relationship with Peking University and the Shiba family, fearing that she would stab her in the back.
In the north of Minamihanoi, Yusa Shinjiao had just been forced to return the direct leadership of the Hatakeyama family to Hatakeyama Takamasa under the pressure of her participation in the siege.
There were forces that were against her all around, and she was on pins and needles in Kii.
At this time, the more she needs the goodwill of the shogunate, especially the support of local powerful factions headed by the Shiba family, in order to secure her position in the Kii half country.
So, can she refuse the invitation from the Spall family?
What's more, Sibo Yiyin has no heir. Once something happens to him in Yuezhong, the Sibo family will inevitably collapse, and the local powerful faction will be scattered again.
Without the deterrence of powerful local factions in the shogunate, her thorn will surely be removed by a coalition of hostile forces.
Can she cope with this difficulty?
Therefore, Suzuki Shigehide must persuade Honganji Kenru to put down his hostility towards the Yoshigan Shiba mission and facilitate it.
This was done not only to gain the friendship of the Spo family, but also to protect themselves.
Suzuki Shigehide said solemnly.
"I would like to ask the Dharma Master, this time I have always asked, will I be involved?"
"The situation in recent years has been complicated. I intend to conduct tests on Hokuriku and Tokaido first."
"The Master thinks so, the shogunate, the Tendai Sect, and the Shingon Sect are not our enemies."
"oh?"
Master Xianru looked at her and asked.
"The teachings of the two sects are very different from mine. The shogunate is most disgusted with me. I have always been admonished. How come I'm not an enemy?"
Suzuki Shigehide said.
"The Tiantai Sect has long since declined, and now it clings to the powerful people in Kyoto to survive.
Although the Shingon Sect swallowed up the Hosho Sect and Kofukuji Temple, the dispute between the new and old schools had a far-reaching impact, and the internal turmoil is still going on to this day.
Moreover, can the common people understand the Buddhist principles that the nuns of these two sects have studied in detail? The spread of faith is limited to the upper class.
There are only a few hundred thousand martial arts families in the world, and most of them are utilitarian. How many people can they influence? How much support can they gain?
The real rival of our sect in terms of faith is the Nichiren sect, which is powerful in Shang, Hong Kong, and castle towns."
Xian Ru nodded, Suzuki Shigehide agreed with her.
Suzuki Shigehide saw her move and took advantage of the victory to pursue her.
"The shogunate's sphere of influence has long since shrunk back to recent times. Not only is it powerless to control foreign lands, it has also lost interest in governing.
In recent times, the forces are intertwined, and the relationship between the martial arts and sects is complicated. It is not suitable to launch a one-on-one attack. It can easily backfire on our sect and damage the foundation of our sect."
"Indeed, you can hardly act rashly these days."
Xianru thought so too, and Suzuki Shigehide spoke to her heart.
Honganji Temple moved to the main mountain several times, but was hit hard in the struggle and suffered heavy losses.
Ishiyama Honganji Temple is already established in Settsu, Izumi, and Kawachi. If it continues to attract public outrage in recent times, I'm afraid Ishiyama Honganji Temple will be in trouble again.
Starting a business is not easy, and she is unwilling to damage the business that has been in business for many years in Shishan.
Suzuki Shigehide nodded.
"So, our faction has no conflict with the shogunate, and there is no need to anger the general.
As we all know, Mr. Gongfang admires Mr. Qianxin and has given him the gift of receiving the lottery.
Duke Qianxin was killed in Yuezhong. If it was because of our faction, wouldn't it cause an inexplicable smell?
The shogunate was on good terms with the Tendai sect, and Kenshin was a believer in the Shingon sect, so he protected Yamato Kofukuji Temple, and both sects had interests in it.
Since our faction has no conflict of interest with the two factions and the shogunate, why bother causing tit-for-tat.
Just passing through the border, it’s just a small matter.”
Xian Ru frowned, Suzuki Shigehide said what he said made sense.
Seeing her hesitation, Suzuki Shigehide continued.
"My sect's teachings win over the people of the world. The powerful and powerful members of the Wu family are our enemies after all, and the Takeda family is no exception.
Everyone is just using each other, why should the Master care about the Takeda family's request?
On the contrary, Echigo's Nagao Kagetora is the samurai our faction can best utilize at this time.
The Hokuriku Expressway has always been closed, and it will affect Echizen, Noto, and Echichu.
The Jinbo Shiina family in the Echichu direction continued their conquests, and the Echigo Nagao family also intervened.
As long as the Echichu family is not eliminated, the Echichu family and the Echigo Nagao family will not be in contact with each other, and there will be no conflict of interest between the two parties.
And in terms of weakening the positions of Vietnam and China, they have common interests.
Letting Nagao Kagetora go will make the Ezhong family suffer.
The conflict between Echigo and my family will only arise after the Echichu Ichikai clan engulfs the entire territory of Echigo. Now is not the time to turn against each other.
At this time, Nagao Kagetora died, and the Echichu family was happy. My family had gained a bad reputation for nothing, and attracted the hatred of the Echigo samurai family.
Isn’t that reasonable?”
Suzuki Shigehide made a sound analysis and finally convinced Honganji Kenjo.
she said.
"You are right. The trapping of the shogunate's mission in Vietnam and China will indeed bring harm rather than benefit to our sect.
I have sent my subordinate Yorijun to Hokurikudo to take charge of Oyama Gobo and serve as the boss.
Kuai Ma sent someone to report the news to her, asking her to treat it with caution in Kaga and not to embarrass the Ji warriors from the Nagao Shiba family passing through the border."
Suzuki Shigehide was overjoyed and kowtowed to the ground.
