different warring states of japan

Chapter 1280
Yoshigin walked along the porch to the side hall, and Ii Naomasa followed closely behind him.

The nuns along the way avoided and saluted one after another, with complicated eyes.No matter how many people want to squeeze, they can't squeeze into the master hall to participate in the Buddhist meeting, but Yiyin ran out carelessly to find some peace.

There really is no empathy between people.

Yiyin raised his head and leaned back, relaxing his tense back after sitting for a long time.

Being a nun in an island country is much more comfortable than being a martial artist.As long as the sect's weight is sufficient, countless believers will donate land and money.

From the emperor to the general, the rulers of the past dynasties had almost no way to collect taxes from the temples, and they were much more difficult to deal with than the peasants.

The temple has accumulated a lot of wealth, the land is rented out to farmers for farming, and the money is loaned out at high interest rates, allowing them to enjoy a wonderful life as a monk.

It's a pity that this line is too complicated, and the sects that can survive are not simple characters.Not only must there be unique Buddhist principles to attract belief, but also the ability to protect one's own temple from being destroyed.

For example, the leader of the sect, the Tiantai sect, every time he can't argue with others, he puts the master of Mount Hiei down the mountain to physically debate the scriptures.The branch of Yanli Temple has raised thousands of mountain masters, and they are not idlers.

The Nichiren sect did not survive, the mountain was burned, the sect was disbanded, and now the group has no leader.Rixuan of Honnōji Temple gritted his teeth with hatred, because he had to make an offering to the Tiantai Sect in order to become a monastery in Kyoto.

Lian Ru, the Dharma master of eight generations of Zhongxing, came out of the Yixiang sect, who turned the scattered Yiyiyikui into a spark that could start a prairie fire.Finally, Master Shan, who persuaded Tiantai Sect, was willing to convince others with virtue.

Roll, really roll.

According to Yiyin's point of view, Daoist Gao Ni of each faction is living too comfortably.So everyone squeezed their heads, just to live a good life like the big sect.

A Buddhist meeting can burn thousands of guan, and even Yiyin, a rich man in the martial arts family, feels distressed. He really can't stand it anymore and runs out to get some fresh air.

If this is placed in the Celestial Dynasty. .Ha ha. .

The nuns of the Celestial Dynasty are very self-disciplined. Three martial arts exterminate Buddhism, one sect restricts Buddhism, and the Buddha is difficult to beat and educate all sects. How to write the word low-key.

But the nuns in the island country have never encountered a catastrophe that shakes their foundations. The lofty status of the nuns for thousands of years has made them like kites with broken strings, floating without bounds.

An arrogant and surly pretty face inexplicably appeared in Yiyin's mind. If Oda Nobunaga was to experience such an extravagant Buddhist meeting, what would she think?
I can't wait to squeeze out every grain of the territory for military rations, and confiscate every strong man in the territory to fight. If Oda Nobunaga sees the beautiful life of the nuns, his eyeballs will probably turn green.

In Yiyin's mind, a mischievous thought suddenly occurred to him.

One day, if you have a chance, you must bring the country bumpkins of Owari to see the luxury of Tiantai sect.Anyway, Mt. Hiei is in Kyoto, and not far from Minami Omi, which gave that local turtle a lot of insight.

---

Yiyin was walking aimlessly while thinking about something on his mind, when suddenly a person approached in front of him.Behind him, Naomasa Ii stepped forward and stopped the man.

The man also knew how to measure, stopped and saluted.

"Zinduodian is well."

Yiyin came back to his senses and looked at the man, it turned out to be Shigehide Suzuki, an old acquaintance.

"Suzuki Hime, are you here to participate in this grand Buddhist event?"

Shigehide Suzuki replied respectfully.

"Jin Duodian was joking, I don't deserve such a blessing.

It's just that I have been blessed by the Dharma Lord to allow me to come to Shishan to soak up a little bit of the auspiciousness of the pure land of Buddhism and Taoism, and to escort the Buddha Association. "

Yi Yin nodded.

The Zahe people are armed with Yizong believers. These people form a party of their own, and are not tolerated by the Wu family regime. Of course, they have to find another asylum.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple is located on the east coast of the Seto Inland Sea, connected up and down with Sakai Port, and has achieved a flourishing commercial system.

Zhahe people believe in Yixiangzong. On the one hand, the teachings of this sect are simple, and they are willing to absorb the people at the bottom.On the other hand, it benefits from Shishan's business system.

These Chinese people are tough, they go ashore to work as mercenaries, and they go into the water to dry up pirates. The goods in their hands are not clean, and they need a fixed place to sell their stolen goods in exchange for daily necessities.

The merchant self-government group in Sakai Port is one option, and the Honganji nun group in Ishiyama is another option.

On the one hand, he only has money in his eyes, and on the other hand, he can do anything for his beliefs. Zahezhong has found double insurance.

Regardless of belief or strength, Zahezhong and Shishan Hongan Temple are too tightly bound, and Shishan Buddhist Association is naturally willing to recruit these powerful mercenaries to guard.

Yoshigin smiled at Shigehide Suzuki and said.

"Don't underestimate yourself, you are also a person of status now, Kii Guardian Dai is a serious shogunate.

I talked about you with His Highness Hatakeyama Takamasa in Beijing, and she spoke highly of you.During the crusade in Nanhanoi, she was very touched that you were willing to lead troops to defend the righteousness of the shogunate.

By the way, His Highness Hatakeyama Takamasa is said to have been recommended by many famous families, and he will soon be crowned the head of the shogunate.

As her subordinate official, your status is even more different.When it's time to be arrogant, don't bend down to weaken the majesty of the shogunate.

I've also heard about what happened in the capital, and Yi Xiangzong made a fuss this time.

But what I promised you at the beginning didn't work out, and I'm also responsible for the setbacks you encountered in the capital. "

Shigehide Suzuki didn't dare to say anything, and the polite smile on his face became real.

She has always been dressed like a noble lady, and she was always teased behind her back as a crowned monkey.

Since cooperating with Shiba Yoshigin once, this noble son of the shogunate has generously helped her get the title of guardian of Kii.

Hatakeyama Gaozheng was subordinated to Shiba Yoshigin, and he flourished in the shogunate, and they all sat in high positions in the shogunate.

The old grievances between Suzuki Shigehide and Hatakeyama Takamasa were also healed by Shiba Yoshiyin, making Suzuki Shigehide a senior official under the shogunate leader Hatakeyama Takamasa, and his status when he was away from home was enough.

Dohashi Mamoru made troubles for Suzuki Shigehide in Kyoto, and insisted on suppressing Suzuki Shigehide in the name of a master, and slaughtered the missionaries of the Southern Banners, causing troubles between the Ichiko sect and the shogunate, and the Oda family.

This is also because Dohashi Mamoru is jealous of Suzuki Shigehide's status, which is no longer what it used to be.

Everyone is a rebellious leader of the people of the country, Suzuki Shigehide has transformed into an orthodox official in the guardian system, which makes the old sisters who are fishing in the same pot feel very embarrassed.

Yoshihiro had received information from Jingzhong a long time ago, and he also sympathized with Suzuki Shigehide's situation.Reminiscent of my experience of being a human being inside and outside the shogunate, I am not very embarrassed.

He casually comforted Shigehide Suzuki a few words, but Shigehide Suzuki was full of gratitude in his heart.

Yoshigin's current status is unusual. Although he has torn off the label of the Ashikaga family, in the eyes of many people, he is more representative of the orthodox light of the samurai family than Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Such a high-ranking person comforted himself softly, making Suzuki Shigehide feel refreshed like drinking a bowl of herbal tea in the midsummer heat.

She bowed and smiled.

"Jin Duodian is too polite, I am so ashamed that you still take care of the trivial matters of me and other small people who bother you.

I am here this time because the Venerable Master Xianru heard that you left the Master Hall and wanted to invite you to the Amitabha Hall for a briefing. "

Yiyin nodded.

"The guest does as he pleases, you lead the way."

Shigehide Suzuki led the way after saluting, and Yoshigin followed with the vigilant Naomasa Ii.

This time when I entered the temple, there were many disciples and nuns from various factions, even if the Hongan Temple family had a great career, they couldn't accommodate so many big figures and their attendants to move about in the temple.

Yoshihiro only brought Ii Naomasa into the temple, and Gamo and other fellow congregants stayed in the other courtyard to carry out intensive education.

Naomasa Ii, who was ordered to protect the lord by Kamo's village ear, is a little nervous at the moment, and no one thinks he is not a good person.

Yiyin shook his head, too lazy to persuade her.Anyway, these well-fed Gao Ni are really not good people, they are all round and smooth, and they seem to be living a good life of pampering.

Thinking of the numb and poor people at the bottom who worshiped these precious things, Yi Yin couldn't help muttering in his heart, what a crime.

Shishan Hongan Temple is the home of the Yixiangzong's main temple. The Yixiangzong's temple has been broken down and destroyed several times.

Shishan has been managed by three generations of legal masters, and there are no less than [-] people who manage the daily patriarchal clan, public security, and business.

The surrounding towns and villages are guarded by fanatical believers, and there are even more elite nuns and miscellaneous congregations in the temple to protect them inside and out. Yiyin is not worried about his safety at all.

With my current status, in the eyes of Yixiangzong, apart from the appearance of the Venerable Master, the entire stone mountain, my own safety is the most important thing.

Therefore, Suzuki Shigehide came up to invite Yoshiyin just after he left the master hall, which shows that his movements are being watched all the time.

Amitabha Hall.

Yiyin looked at the shining golden statue of Amitabha Buddha, secretly thinking about how much gold powder would be needed to polish this big Buddha.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple was an eye-opener for him today, he was really rich.

The luxury of the Master Hall was already jaw-dropping, and when it came to the Amitabha Hall, Yi Xiangzong taught Qiong Yiyin another lesson.

If you think about it, Yixiangzong can become a Buddha with a sentence of Namo Amitabha, attracting people all over the world to believe in it.As the main hall dedicated to Amitabha Buddha, how could it be despised and neglected?

Yiyin shifted his gaze from the Buddha statue to the front, where sat three enlightened Gaoni, one big and two young.

The two sides sat separately in front of the Buddha statue, the master on the left and the guest on the right. The three people in front of Yiyin were Honganji Xianru, her eldest daughter Jiaoru, and her second daughter Zhunru.

To Yiyin's surprise, Master Xianru did not look like an old nun with two teenage daughters.The three of them have similar faces and look like sisters.

Yiyin sighed secretly, how well maintained it was.

Yixiangzong is a derogatory name for Pure Land Shinzong from other sects. Although the times have changed, most people have accepted this title.But at the sect level, Honganji Temple has always called itself the Pure Land Shinzong.

The Pure Land Sect in Kanto is quite unhappy about this matter. If you are true, then I am false?

The most criticized point of Pure Land Shinzong is eating meat to make a family.

Whether it is the Six Schools of Nandu or the Second School of Ping'an, Zen and Esoteric Buddhism are all strictly disciplined Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty.

Even though Buddhism was introduced in the Song Dynasty, and the Pure Land Sect in Kanto began to sink the market to simplify its teachings and snatch the low-level believers, it did not dare to break the five precepts and ten good deeds.

Whether or not one can strictly abide by the precepts is a matter of personal integrity, but the disciples of the Dazong sect are all serious disciples of Samana, and they always shout slogans.

But Yixiangzong is the best localized sect that combines Buddhism and island countries. The real women are not hypocritical, and they eat meat to make friends and give birth to daughters.

It's no wonder that Yixiangzong will be rejected by various factions. There must be a bottom line for being deviant, and if you go too far, you will naturally be attacked by groups and beaten everywhere.

Believers in Buddhism in the Celestial Dynasty are more particular. One is compassion, and the other is keeping the precepts. They dare not go one step beyond the threshold.

As the best localized Japanese Buddhism, the Ichiko sect embodies the specific demands of the Japanese for Buddhism.One is whether they can protect the interests of the sect while alive, and the other is whether they can enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss after death.

The two most famous teachings of Yixiangzong.

First, he does what he wants.

As long as you believe in Amitabha, even if you can only read one sentence of Namo Amitabha, you will be reborn in bliss after death.

This time, the problem of the belief threshold of the people who are ignorant and illiterate and do not understand the scriptures is solved.

Second, the villain is taking advantage of the opportunity.

Amitabha treats everyone equally, even if you are a bastard who kills and sets fire, as long as you believe in the Yixiang sect, you can be saved by my Buddha.

This time, the obstacles for the villain pirates and Ji warriors of the middle and lower classes to reach the Paradise of Elysium were cleared away.

The oppressed and foolish people are satisfied, as are the poor Ji warriors who have no ambitions.

Even if the martial arts and Buddhism don't want to see the Yixiangzong, but the Yixiangzong can't be killed, it can't be killed, but it is getting more and more prosperous.

After all, the island nation is barren and the bottom is poor.It is impossible to live a good life in this life, and everyone can only hope for happiness after death.

It can't solve the problem of eating at the bottom. No matter how sharp the knife and gun are, they can't shovel the soil that has always been alive.

Force cannot eradicate the despair of the people, but faith represents new hope.The materials are not abundant enough, and the spiritual sustenance comes together. This is an inextricable knot.

Yiyin was a little distracted, the Master Xianru in front of him chanted the Buddha's name, pulling him back from his thoughts.He smiled awkwardly and said.

"The magnificent Buddha's light in the Amitabha Hall made me fall into it, and made several masters laugh."

Xianru smiled and looked at Yiyin, with a white and tender face that could be broken by bullets, he was more forgiving than a girl, his eyes were full of compassion, and his tone was soft and kind.

"Zinda-dono is being polite.

You are a distinguished guest, and it is my honor to accept the invitation to participate in the Buddhist meeting.

I shouldn't disturb the elegant mood of the distinguished guests, but I had some misunderstandings with the shogunate a few days ago, I hope Jin Dadian can come forward for me to ease one or two. "

Yiyin said with a perplexed face.

"Master, with the relationship between your sect and the Shiba family, I shouldn't reject you.

But you also know that I had some unpleasant quarrels with the general in Beijing before, so I had to retreat to my residence and become a monk.

I have also heard a little about the matter between you and the shogunate.It's not that I shirk, it's just that I'm a clean and idle person, and it's really inconvenient to mediate. "

Yiyin made it sound like he was an outsider and had no contact with the shogunate, but in fact he just didn't want to care about this matter.

There aren't many good people in the shogunate, and Muzong is full of lunatics, they tear up b, why is Shiba's family joining in the fun?
