Chapter 907 Chapter 105 Internal Affairs and Good News
When the war in Ise was in full swing, Master Qingwei had finished his inspection and returned to Hidekyo's camp.
As for the coach, he is only responsible for strategic arrangements, and the specific command will be left to professionals. He will not intervene and will not interfere unless necessary.
This is a great trust and courage.
Master Qingwei certainly did not return to the Xiujing camp to hide from Qingjing. He had some internal affairs to deal with.
After all, suppressing the Fenglinzhou rebellion by force is only the beginning, and subsequent governance is equally important.
The territory of Daomen is larger than that of the Daxuan court. Its purpose has always been to rule without rule, that is, to let professional bureaucrats do professional things, and Taoist priests who are not familiar with civil affairs will not interfere.
The specific framework is that the Dao Sect is at the top, and it is divided into several imperial courts below. The largest one is of course the Daxuan Court, which is also the core area. The Dao Sect Pillar is located directly below the Dao Sect and is the foundation of the Dao Sect. It is known as the "Lower Dao Sect".
It is called "Shangdaomen" in Yujing and cannot be generalized with others.
Then there are Borneo, Dongposu, Liaobei, Western Regions, Grassland, Fenglinzhou and other places located on the side branches. Each has a small country, each has a small court, and respects the Taoist sect. These small courts also have dynasties changing, and new rulers
They would often request Taoist sects to be ennobled as soon as possible to show their orthodoxy. At the same time, these small countries would also surrender to Daxuan and enter Daxuan's tribute system. However, the Daxuan court would not interfere in the internal affairs of these small countries and allow them to govern themselves.
This side of Fenglinzhou is Prime Minister Toyotomi's Mansion.
Therefore, Master Qingwei wants to pave the way for Prime Minister Toyotomi to better rule Fenglinzhou in the future.
Under the guidance of Shen Yuqing, Yagyu Zongzheng walked into Qingwei Zhenren's Chinese army tent.
Katsura Zenyuki, who was also a swordsman and assassinated Master Qingwei, was defeated and died, with no body left. However, Munemasa Yagyu, who had befriended Master Qingwei, went to Hidekyo's camp openly and openly and became a guest.
After sitting down, Master Qingwei said: "I invite Shi Zhouzhai to come over this time. It is both a business matter and a private matter. It can be considered as a balance between public and private matters."
"I wonder what's going on?" Yagyu Somasa was neither humble nor overbearing.
In fact, the relationship between the two is not a pure superior and subordinate, but a relationship close to half-friends, which is similar to the relationship between Yagyu Somasa and Toyotomi Hideshige. This is also the position of the Yagyu family for itself, not to be involved in political affairs and to maintain
A relatively detached half-outsider status.
Qingweizhen said: "These two things are actually the same thing. I remember that Hidemao is not married yet, and the regent Guanbai has always had the custom of marrying royal princesses. The last time Hidetsugi got married, it was the chief elder Nakai Inao.
Negotiations will be held.”
"Yes." Yagyu Munamasa said, "After negotiation and discussion,
, Fugui Palace promised to marry, His Highness Hidetsugi sent tributes and sent messengers to invite Fugui Palace to marry him. Then the envoy came to thank Fugui Palace, paid homage at Katsura Palace, presented wedding items to Fugui Palace, and performed the acceptance ceremony.
The following year, Fugui Palace married Xiu Jing, and the relationship between the two was quite harmonious. Among the past dynasties of Guan Bai, it is rare that the relationship between Guan Bai and Go Tai Suo is so harmonious and loving, because generally Go Tai Suo is only a symbolic existence, and even
Known as 'the ornament of the Guanbai family', His Highness Hidetsugi did not have any side chambers except Fugui Palace in Odaisho. After His Highness Hidetsugi's death, Fugui Palace became a widow, and she became a monk in the same year."
"I invited Shi Zhouzhai here today just for Xiu Mao's marriage. I want to ask Shi Zhouzhai to be the matchmaker, or matchmaker," Qingwei Zhenzhen said.
Yagyu Somasa asked: "Master, do you want me to go to Pingjing as an envoy?"
"No, no, no, now is not the time." Master Qingwei waved his hand and said, "Shi Zhouzhai should know Jixiang Palace Yuzi, right?"
Yagyu Munamasa said: "I heard that after she was named the concubine, she is expected to become the next Saio."
"Not long ago, Deputy Hall Master Zhang invited Jixiang Palace to the camp as a guest." Master Qingwei finally revealed the secret, "What does Shi Zhouzhai think of letting Xiu Mao marry Jixiang Palace?"
Yagyu Somasa thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said: "That's very good. I agree to be the middleman. But it's not enough for me to be the middleman."
Master Qingwei asked: "Then according to Shi Zhouzhai's wishes, who else is needed?"
Yagyu Somasa said: "Fugui Palace is the sister of Jixiang Palace. Please ask Fugui Palace to lobby Jixiang Palace, and I will explain the situation to Hidemo."
Master Qingwei pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Nothing is done for the two masters. If you ask Fugui Palace to come forward, please also ask Shi Zhouzhai to do it for you."
"It's a matter of duty." Yagyu Munamasa responded.
At this moment, Shen Yuqing walked in, holding two official documents in his hand.
Yagyu Somasa stood up at the right time: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"I won't give it away." Master Qingwei stood up symbolically.
After Yagyu Somasa left, Shen Yuqing put the official document on the desk and reported: "My dear, there are two main things. The first thing is that Katsura Zen is dead."
Master Qingwei was not surprised, he just asked: "How did you die?"
"He was killed by Deputy Hall Master Qi and Jiachen Lingguan together on the Ise battlefield." Shen Yuqing replied.
"Escorting the new Guan Bai, recruiting Suzuka Imperial Front, conquering Jiuju City, and now killing Gui Shanxing, Qi Tianyuan never disappoints me." Master Qingwei smiled, "No surprise, this Fenglinzhou battle
When it’s over, you will no longer be Deputy Hall Master Qi.”
Master Qingwei asked again: "What about the second thing?"
Shen Yuqing said: "Our insider sent a letter from Masao Maeda."
Master Qingwei directly took the official letter, glanced at it quickly, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Forward this letter to Jiashen Lingguan. Whether and how to surrender will be decided by him according to the specific situation. I
My opinion is that Masao Maeda will be of great help in clearing up the remaining rogue forces dormant in various places in the future, and must be preserved."
Shen Yuqing took the order and left.
In fact, at this point, the war in Ise has been decided, and there is almost no possibility of false surrender.
The next day, the new Sekihaku Toyotomi Hidemoge, the former Sekihaku's Odaisho Fukinomiya, and Yagyu Munemasa visited the camp together.
Taoism pays attention to equality, especially between men and women. It must be correct, and high-level female Taoists must maintain a certain ratio. Looking at all Taoist mansions, Taoist palaces, and Taoist halls, except for a few people such as Cihang Zhenren and Li Ruoshui, there are very few
It is rare for a woman to be the number one person, and men still dominate. However, there will definitely be female Taoist priests among the deputy positions. This is the equality of Taoism.
This extends to another unwritten rule of the Taoist sect: the more women you are, the more respect you will receive on the surface.
It is often seen that male Taoist priests are scolded, but female Taoist priests rarely encounter this situation. For example, a male Taoist priest must be respectful when entertaining his superiors, but his Taoist companions are not so particular about rules, and even
There is no scruple at all, and the boss will never care about it, let alone show any contempt.
This is the equality and correctness within Taoism.
Male Taoist priests who hold the power of Taoism show their equality in this way.
Because they are already the ones who truly hold absolute power in the world, it is no longer interesting to show off their superiority. That is something that only upstarts who have succeeded will do. What they want is balance and image. Their subordinates,
It's okay to give advice, rebuke and scold, but for the weak, there is no need to show power and majesty, but to show one's people-friendly low profile.
This is the advantage of women in Taoism.
No matter how high their rank, Taoist priests will treat ordinary female Taoist priests with a gentle attitude. Even the five-generation masters at that time always treated the real people below them without pretense, but
After meeting their Taoist companions, they will still speak softly. This is a treatment that ordinary male Taoist priests will never enjoy.
There are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that women usually only get respect on the surface, but it is difficult to get real respect.
The reason is also very simple. This kind of low profile actually treats women as weak. Promoting equality and showing equality are essentially unequal. Just like adults coaxing children, it is a kind of careless, disapproving disregard and perfunctory. It is just
Make enough superficial appearances.
On the one hand, women can easily obtain a higher status and receive equal treatment that is difficult for ordinary men to obtain. But on the other hand, this kind of treatment is just a formality and is not taken seriously. Obtaining the opportunity for equal dialogue does not mean having a voice.
When it comes to actually fighting for power, it becomes a disadvantage. The simplest example is that so far, the Taoist sect has not produced a female chief master, even the sixth generation chief master who was evaluated as weak is still a man.
Zhang Yuelu hated this deeply, and this was the fundamental reason why so many female Taoist priests wanted to support Zhang Yuelu in ascending to the position of Grand Master.
As one of the "Three Princes" of the Taoist sect, Master Qingwei was naturally well versed in these unwritten rules, so when he received the three of them, he showed great respect for the Fugui Palace and did not regard himself as the so-called "Emperor", but rather
Putting Fugui Palace on an equal footing and talking as friends, Yagyu Somasa and Toyotomi Hidemoge were very surprised.
Feng Linzhou is still in the old framework of husband being the guide for wife. He only heard about the equality of Taoism, and his understanding is still superficial that female Taoists can be high officials, but he cannot understand the deep-seated unwritten rules of wealth and honor.
The palace man was naturally flattered. He was still hesitant and struggling at first, but now he made up his mind to help Master Qingwei convince Jixiang Palace. Some scholars are willing to die for their confidants.
Toyotomi Hidemo himself also agreed to marry Jixianggu as his royal residence, and invited Qingwei Zhenren to be his witness.
Master Qingwei readily agreed.
It was a pleasant conversation.
At this moment, Shen Yuqing walked in and said softly: "Master, good news."
Qingwei Zhenren Yun Danfengqing: "What news?"
Shen Yuqing cleared his throat: "News came from Ise that Masao Maeda turned against him and led his troops to surrender. The two deputy commanders wiped out more than 18,000 reinforcements from the Taoists. The leaders of the Taoists, Katsura Zenyuki and Yu Moriyun,
Guangshou's execution can be described as a great victory."
Master Qingwei finally had a smile on his face: "As long as we capture Sanchong County again, the February offensive can be successfully concluded."
