A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Yamauchi Taro was sent back to the city. Surprisingly, Mrs. Nagao did not suffer any problem.

Probably because she also knew that her son had never suffered at all, so it was not a bad thing for him to gain some experience. In addition, Mrs. Longtail is not a little girl with long hair and short knowledge. She just doesn't want to care about it because it is her precious son. Now that her grandfather is teaching her, she will naturally not say anything.

The most important affairs of the country are farming and war. As a woman from the Wu family, she fully understood this truth.

Their Echigo family has two great traditions. One is rebellion, and the other is planting rice seedlings in spring and going south to seize Kanto.

Farm work and war are both possible! When the rice is about to ripen, we return to Echigo from Kanto to harvest it. The whole process was very skillful and not delayed at all.

"Taro, show me your hands." Of course, she was happy for Yamauchi Yoshiji to take care of her eldest grandson, but it was still her nature as a mother to feel sorry for her children.

Yamauchi Taro didn't cry any more, but the child's skin was very delicate, and it turned out that Inaba made a small cut.

The shallow, thin scratches on my fingers have scabbed over and are not painful or itchy. A normal child from a peasant or samurai family would roll three times in the mud without a few scratches on his body.

That is to say, Yamauchi Taro kept it in the compound and refused to let it out in the wild, which is why those small scratches were particularly dazzling.

Mrs. Changwei’s pain is in her son’s body and her mother’s heart. He quickly asked the maid to get some trauma medicine and wrap it up for Taro Yamauchi.

On the other hand, Taro Yamauchi seemed to be somewhat sensible. His mother gave him a hug, which made him comforted.

"The baby doesn't hurt, not at all."

The baby's milky voice, coupled with the fact that Yamauchi Taro was a pretty little boy, made Mrs. Nagao full of motherly love for no reason. She hugged her precious son in her arms and refused to let go at all, for fear of getting tired. Touch and touch.

However, as a mother who hopes to have a successful son, Mrs. Nagao understands Yamauchi Yoshiharu’s thoughts, and she also has her own thoughts. She felt that since the Yamauchi family had this condition, they should find some capable teachers for Yamauchi Taro.

Like her brother Terutora Uesugi, he studied civil and martial arts from the Zen master Mitsuru Amuro of Echigo Rinsenji Temple at the age of seven. Obviously, this education was very successful. Terutora Uesugi was always a talented person, so when he met such a famous teacher, he was naturally generous and glorious.

Another example is Meiyue Chengfang, the teacher Imagawa Yoshimoto followed since he became a monk since he was a child, Zen Master Taiyuan Xuezhai. That guy, needless to say, the old monk is full of knowledge in managing the world and governing the country, and he has made the Imagawa family's state affairs flourish.

Even when Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was serving as an official in Kyoto in his teens, there was a monk named Sugimoto Ryotoshi [Note 1] who taught him various literary methods. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's level of Sinology is not low at all. He can't speak in words, but he is eloquent, so that's for sure.

It’s normal for a mother to find a tutor for her son. Parents, they must be concerned about their children’s education.

Mrs. Nagao and Yamauchi Yoshiharu have a showdown. Children can be taught, but they need to be taught by a good master. You cannot let you teach them wildly. Of course, that's not what he said, it was definitely very subtle.

Anyway, Yamauchi Yoshiharu understands, and he is also concerned about the education of his children. Otherwise, he would not have treated Taro Yamauchi like that in the field. He also hopes that his children will establish a correct value system.

Nothing is trivial in heaven, and even shit-sized things can be magnified infinitely. The matter of finding some tutors for Taro Yamauchi soon became known to everyone.

Mrs. Nagao naturally has a candidate. Zen Master Mitsuru Amuro, who has taught her so well as her eldest brother Uesugi Teruhora, must be the first choice. The results of his education are directly in front of her.

This level of education is definitely guaranteed, but he is still the abbot of Rinsenji Temple of the Echigo Nagao Clan Bodhi Temple, and he is an acquaintance who knows his roots well. This kind of person is the most reliable to use and the most trustworthy.

However, Mrs. Nagao quickly ordered people to go to Echigo to find her elder brother and ask him to invite Zen Master Mitsuru Amuro to come to the mountain. All he could bring back was the news that the old monk had passed away.

At this time, I can only ask Yamauchi Yoshiharu for his opinion. He also has acquaintances in the five mountains and five temples in Kyoto. After all, these years in Kyoto were not in vain, and I sent a few autographed letters to Luo Jing immediately.

Xiaoping Taiya was also convinced by the candidate he had in mind, Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi.

The monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi left behind such a famous saying: "It is not necessary to use mountains and rivers to practice Zen, to extinguish the fire in your heart and let it cool down."

This man was born in a famous martial family, the Toki clan was the guardian of Mino, and he was the abbot of Chongfukuji Temple in Mino.

He is an accomplished monk who studied under Renxiu (Xiu) Zongshou and practiced Linji Sect.

Forget it, this man was once introduced to the emperor by Guanbai Konoe, chatted and laughed with the Holy Emperor, and was well-known in Luoyang City. In the end, he was given the high reputation of "National Master".

In history, he finally served as the abbot of Huilin Temple and set fire to death for Oda Nobunaga, killing as many as 150 monks. For this reason, both the imperial court and Konoe Maekyu expressed strong dissatisfaction to Oda Nobunaga. It is said that such a high-ranking monk was wantonly killed by Oda Nobunaga, which was one of the last straws that led to Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion.

Since Yamauchi Yoshiharu knows such a big shot, he should go and invite him.

Anyway, Koheta is only responsible for teaching Yamauchi Taro to handle civil affairs, and Hosokawa Saime is responsible for teaching marching operations. What is needed is a master who can teach basic cultural knowledge and artistic accomplishment.

As for other Yamauchi family retainers, they have more or less heard of the name of this "National Preceptor". Even those who have never heard of it are still shocked by such a big name.

He was chatting and laughing with Guan Bai and the Emperor, but he couldn't teach a three-year-old baby? It’s impossible even if you think about it!

Mrs. Nagao is the best example. She was worried that there was no good person to educate her son because of the death of Zen Master Tianshi Guangyu. Now that I heard that my father-in-law had invited the "National Advisor", I agreed with both hands and feet.

There are no empty scholars under such a great reputation!

Everyone knows this truth, and it is not like the information explosion in the Internet age, where all kinds of monsters and monsters can become famous. He was the national master who was personally praised by the Zhengerbagen Imperial Palace. It was an honor to be invited to teach Yamauchi Taro at this level.

The only shortcoming is that Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi is not the abbot of a certain temple, or even a fixed temple. He is a truly enlightened monk and feels that ordinary temples are too dirty, so he refuses to stay in the temple at all. Practice.

Then look for it!

[Note 1]: This is a monk from Sugimotoji Temple, an ancient temple in Kamakura, but I have no idea whether he has ever been to Kyoto, whether he has taught literature and art to others, and whether he is a talented and knowledgeable monk. It's just a borrowed name, not a special person.
