This witch is a boy

"Brother, don't be afraid, my brother won't harm you, how about this, even if my brother still has a son in the future, I will let him become a monk, so you can return to vulgar life at ease and become a general."

Ashikaga Yoshishi, who had been muttering in his heart, was completely relieved when he heard his brother's promise.

At first, I thought that my elder brother was worried about me being a monk. After all, my elder brother was only 29 years old, and his first year had not yet arrived. I was going to be a general. If my elder brother gave birth to his own child, then How do I deal with myself.

Now that the oath is made in front of the gods and Buddhas, and the document is made, it is naturally true.

As a result, I quit all of a sudden. At the beginning, I didn’t want to be a general. It was you who swore in front of the gods and Buddhas to guarantee my inheritance rights. Now let me hand over the position of heir again. You can say anything.

As soon as Ashikaga Yoshishi's temper came up, he refused to give up the position of heir. However, the high-level officials of the shogunate also participated in the battle for the heir of the shogun's family, and his own family was also overwhelmed by the heir's problem. The dog jumping seems to have become the source of chaos in the world.

The source of the chaos in the world is this child who is about to be born.

Originally, Ashikaga Yoshimasa had already decided to pass on the throne to his younger brother. Even if his wife gave birth to a son for him, the promise for his man would not be so easily shaken.

Who knew that Ashikaga Yoshimasa's concubine was pregnant again, and now she was about to give birth to a son or daughter for him. In this way, the upcoming child became a catalyst to arouse Ashikaga Yoshimasa's ambition.

Hino Tomiko also became active all of a sudden because of the change in her husband's attitude, so even Yoshida Kanetsu had to be pulled over.

The reason why the Yoshida Shinto he created can be handed down among samurai and ministers is all thanks to the strong support of Hino Tomiko.

"No matter what, this child can't be born, and the mother can't keep it."

Yoshida Kenju thought of what Hino Tomiko said before, and couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. It really is the most poisonous woman's heart. If the child is to be abolished, even the mother of the child will not let it go.

This is the favorite woman of General Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and Yoshida Kaneju feels hairy. The Yoshida Shinto he created is actually an inheritance of Ise Shinto.

Ise Shinto pays attention to the uprightness of the body and the heart as a mirror, and he combines the experience of the predecessor Bubushi to create the spirit of the heart, which also pays attention to the mind not being stained with dust.

After doing such a wicked thing, he couldn't even pass his own level.

"At least let this child not be stillborn, come to the world, breathe the air of this world, and meet his biological mother and father before leaving."

Yoshida Kaneju thought to himself, choose not to do anything for the time being, although the courtyard is full of eminent monks of the Shingon sect, and there are even many onmyojis, but he doesn't take it seriously.

Because it is impossible to tell how many monks and eminent monks here belong to Tomiko Hino. He believes that many people must have been bought by Tomiko Hino. Therefore, for the birth of the baby, he must protect and fight for his child. mother.

……

"I had a dream. I dreamed of a sky where the sun and the moon were shining together. A god in a Tang costume told me that he would give me a son. Does Master Yoshida know the reason for this?"

The girl in lady's costume touched her belly, looked at Yoshida Kenju in priest's costume and said sweetly, she was so innocent, even he couldn't help but be infected by the girl, thinking in his heart, no wonder the general was so innocent. Love this lady so much.

"Madam Yaoji, can you explain in more detail about the gods of the Tang people?"

Yoshida Kanetsu sat outside on his knees, and there was a curtain beside him blocking the girl's appearance, he couldn't help asking.

"It's a majestic deity, the sun and the moon are shining in the sky, like the ruler of the world. He said he would give me a son, and then the sun and moon in the sky disappeared and seemed to fall into my stomach."

The girl said confusedly, thinking of the god she saw in her dream, she couldn't remember what that god looked like at all.

"The sun and the moon are confused, Madam, that god, can you tell me your name?"

Yoshida Kaneju was startled. He didn't know whether what the girl said was true or not. At the same time, he remembered a story and couldn't help asking softly, "Did Madam tell the general about this dream?"

"No, you are the first one, because Yoshida-sama is a famous authority in Shinto, so I want to ask him to interpret my dream. I didn't tell the general about this, but the god didn't tell me his name. If Yoshida-sama knows, can you tell me? I, I would like to thank the gods for their kindness."

The girl shook her head, this dream was really ridiculous, but it was because of this dream that she became pregnant, so this must be a child given to her by the gods.

"How can I speculate on the meaning of the gods. I think that since he can control the sun and the moon, it must be the divine virtue of God Amaterasu."

"But the god in my dream, I vaguely think it should be a male god."

"Well, that's naturally Tsukiyomi-sama."

"It's Datang's god, I know that very well."

"The attire of the gods is not something we can easily guess, maybe it is the God of the Great Country."

"Oh, that's it, then I will ask the general to send someone to Izumo Taisha to fulfill my wish."

Mrs. Yaoji smiled sweetly, and let out a silver bell-like laugh. Yoshida Kanji's face was calm, but there were waves in his heart.

It doesn't matter which god it is, the mixing of the sun and the moon is a very distinctive symbol.

"Ms. Yao Ji, I tell you this, don't spread it out, just listen to it. According to legend, there is such a story, Hojo Masako's younger sister, Awa, had a dream one day. She dreamed that she was holding the sun and the moon. When she When I told this dream to my sister, Masako Hojo, Masako thought that this dream symbolized a nobleman, so he lied to his sister that the dream was unknown, and persuaded her to let her have the dream, so he bought the dream of his sister."

After finishing speaking, Yoshida Kanetsu looked at the movement of Mrs. Yao Ji in the curtain and continued, "Then when Masako Hojo was hunting, he met Minamoto Yoritomo who was exiled by chance, and the two also successfully formed a good relationship, created the revival of Genji, and overthrew Hirato Clan, the foundation of the Kamakura Shogunate..."

After Yoshida Kanetsu finished speaking, there was no movement in the curtain for a moment. Minamoto Yoritomo was the founding shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, and was also the first person to start the shogunate to win the imperial power by starting anew as the general of conquering barbarians. The status of the general in power today is also due to the origin of Yoritomo.

"You mean to say that my future son, or daughter, will also meet a nobleman like Lai Chaogong..."

Mrs. Yaoji's concerned voice came from the curtain, her tone even trembling.

Yoshida Kengo didn't answer, Awa was holding the sun and the moon, and she was holding the sun and the moon in his belly, if this dream came true, then the child in her belly would become a great person like Minamoto Yoritomo.

"Maybe he will become a generation of eminent monks. Ru Konghai, Master Jianzhen, maybe he will become a saint."

After Yoshida Kanetsu said this, the girl in the curtain calmed down.

"Master Yoshida is right. I was thinking too much. My child will become a monk in the future and serve the Buddha."

Yao Ji had a lonely expression on her face. She heard what Yoshida Kanetsu said, and she thought that her unborn child would be a general in the future, and then she became happy. Although she can't be a general, if she can become a great person like the one above , as a mother, she will also be happy for her children.

Yoshida Kaneju just smiled and didn't speak, he just became an eminent monk, how can he hide the sun and the moon in his belly so exaggerated, now he can't wait to look carefully at Mrs. Yaoji's belly, wondering what kind of person will be reborn in her belly .

Japan, which is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, also holds the same cultural attitude as China. Like China, the birth of the founding emperor must have a vision, and the same is true in Japan.Later on, eminent monks and saints also started to play this trick.

Yoshida Kanetsu recalled the scene where Mrs. Yao Ji summoned him to the Flower Palace to interpret his dreams, and then looked at the baby who was about to be born.

Just when the midwife was so happy that the baby was born, Yoshida Kanetsu rushed in at once, and because he exorcised evil spirits for the general's house, he also got the privilege of passing.

Who knows, just before I heard the baby's cry, I heard the baby speak, and the first sentence was: "Master Taishan, what a fool."

At the same time, the onmyoji from the Tsuchimikado clan rushed in, and seemed to have heard what the baby said, Yoshida Kenju and the onmyoji from the Tsuchimikado clan couldn't help but look at each other at the same time.Dumbfounded, completely bewildered.

Just now the baby, what did he say.

The eminent monk of the Shingon sect folded his palms together, thinking about his sins, as if he hadn't heard this sentence, and continued to chant the scriptures.

Yaoshou, the newborn baby can actually talk, especially if he is still cursing people (God).

Chapter 85 The Saint and the Monster

The Palace of Flowers, the General's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness hasn't made a decision yet?"

In the silent room, a calm voice interrupted the silence. The man dressed as a public servant looked at the man sitting opposite him and couldn't help raising his own volume.

"Your Highness Guan Bai, do you also think that my child is a monster?"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa's voice was a little hoarse, revealing his distress and helplessness, obviously he hadn't slept all night.

"This is not what I think. It was agreed by the eminent monks present at the time, as well as the onmyoji and priests. Cursing Amaterasu Omisami at birth may not be beneficial to the country."

Kanebakuichi Kaneyoshi said solemnly, looking at Yoshimasa Ashikaga who couldn't bear it in his heart, "No matter what, everyone thinks that he is the one who will bring disaster to the general's family and even the world."

"I remember that my subordinates reported to me that they cursed the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman, or the God of the Great Country, in short, there are all kinds of gods, and they even said that they cursed the emperor or me. This kind of statement has never been unified. It is too arbitrary and ruthless to ask me, as a father, to hurt my own children."

General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu tightly holds the folding fan in his hand, which is his grandfather Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's favorite bat fan. It seems that only by holding on to his grandfather's relics can he bring himself a sense of security and strength.

"No matter what, if you speak from birth, you will be a monster..."

"Maybe, he is a born saint!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by someone, not the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa, but a name sitting behind the general.

"Your Excellency is..."

One Kaneyoshi looked at the person behind the general, who was obviously trusted by Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and couldn't help asking in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness Guan Bai, the villain's name is Ise Shinkuro, and he is now the general's retainer, serving as the general's introducer."

The person behind him lowered his head and answered the other party's words. Even if he refuted it himself, it would not change that the other party was His Highness Guan Bai who could sit and discuss with the general.

"Oh, saint, what you said is really interesting. Maybe it is, maybe it is not, but everyone says no, even if it is not, it is okay. Please make a quick decision, Your Royal Highness."

Ichijo Kaneyo looked at Ashikaga Yoshimasa with a tone full of wisdom, looking at what he was about to say while pondering.

His father is the sixth-generation shogun, Fang Ashikaga Yoshinaka. Because his brother, who was the seventh-generation shogun, fell off his horse and died, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who was supposed to become a monk, became the eighth-generation shogun out of nowhere.

Although he is the grandson of the third-generation general Yoshimitsu, his ability to be a general is comparable to that of Yoshimitsu.

If he was allowed to become a literati and official, he might be famous in one fell swoop, but after becoming a general, the world of the Ashikaga family would decline. To put it bluntly, a person who was not suitable to be a general took the position of general.

This is Kaneyoshi Kaneyoshi's view of General Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

"His Royal Highness Guan Bai, I would like to ask how you would govern if you were a general?"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa clapped his hands with a folding fan to hide his inner irritability.

Kanbai Ichijo Kaneyoshi is the head of one of the current five shoguns. He has served as the regent and is now the Taizheng Minister and Kanbai. He can be said to be the most authoritative person in the court.

Of course, there is one thing that people value, that is, Ichiyo Kaneyoshi is a unparalleled university student in the world today, and he can catch up with Sugawara Michizane in the Heian era in terms of talent and learning.

Many of the nobles and nobles can easily become high-ranking officials by relying on their own blood and their father's shadow, and no one with a good background can survive in the court at all.

Therefore, there are many ignorant and ignorant people with low morals and low learning. In the Heian period, the patriarch of the Fujiwara family set up a persuasion academy to study as younger generations.

However, no matter what, in this era, apart from the monks of the five mountains and five temples, the only ones who can devote themselves to studying knowledge are the ministers who have been passed down from generation to generation.

Guanbai's words are the words of the imperial court, but now that the imperial court is gone and the emperor's palace has been burned, Ashikaga Yoshimasa actually doesn't need to care about the imperial court's opinion, the key is the words of the first-rate scholars, so he has to listen.

"I should govern with virtue, and govern with virtue, just like Beichen, who lives in its place and all the stars share it..."

"I know what His Highness Guan Bai means. As long as the country is governed with morality, those in power can be like the North Star surrounded by stars, so that the world will naturally be safe and peaceful, and everyone will be in their place..."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa frowned, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard Kanebakuichi Kaneyo take "The Analects of Confucius" as the first sentence of the political chapter. He understood this truth, but it couldn't solve his confusion.

"No, no..."

Ichijo Kaneyo just smiled and shook his head, looked at the general and said meaningfully, "The sage's words naturally have other meanings. On the surface, it seems that the monarch wants to govern the country with virtue, but in my opinion, it is not."

"Governing the country with virtue, on the surface, means that the monarch governs with virtue, but it is not the case that all the people in the world, and the subjects demand the monarch's virtue. The monarch governs the country with the monarch's virtue, and the subjects and the people expect the monarch to use virtue. Is the virtue of the two consistent? Never mind."

"When the Polaris is in power, it moves according to its own law. The stars are guided by this law. Because of its virtue, the stars dare not go offside, so they go up and down, and the world is safe and peaceful. If the North Star deviates from its own position, if the stars deviate from their position, they will deviate from the political path."

"Thus, if His Royal Highness abides by the political principles that the ministers expect the general to abide by, then the world will be stable."

Ichijo Kaneyoshi said here calmly, although he was full of remonstrance, but Ashikaga Yoshimasa who was sitting in the seat couldn't bear it, "His Highness Ichijo wants me to be a general in their minds, so he has to sacrifice his own children."

"It's not impossible to deviate from common sense, but it's not the right way in the end. If you can't do something, you can't do it. The general is the general of the world, but I hope His Royal Highness can understand this."

Ichiyo Kaneyoshi did not show any fear, he had already spoken so clearly, he was not afraid that the other party would not understand this truth.

Just like the emperor in the imperial court and the general in the shogunate, although they are all supreme rulers, they are maintained by their own ministers and daimyo. If you follow their orders, which are in line with common sense, then naturally there will be no disadvantages, but if you resist with your own subordinates , then the natural authority is canceled out.

The words are very clear, and it is only one step away from explaining that the general's supremacy is precisely because of the spokesperson of the warriors. Of course, if Yoyo Ichiyo said this, then he is not Kanbai Ichiyo Kaneyo, but a time traveler.

The general was silent, and Guan Bai also responded in silence, before saying after a while, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's not good for the parents or the world. The reason why I came to persuade the general is because I don't want to make a second big mess."

"Kenju Yoshida said that when Mrs. Yao Ji was pregnant with this child, she told him that she dreamed that the sun, the moon and the stars would fall, the world would be in chaos, and the order would collapse. Such ominousness seemed to correspond to the current chaos. One, talking at birth, cursing the gods, and offending the gods is the second, Yin-Yang Dao, Shinto, and Buddhism are not good for parents, this is the third..."

Kaneyoshi's reasons were stated one by one, even Ashikaga Yoshimasa couldn't help being shocked.

Although he felt that it might be a coincidence to say all these things, even he felt that this child would bring disaster to the general's family.

"What are you going to do with this child?"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa closed his eyes and asked, as if he had already accepted his fate.

In Japan's middle age, if he has no children at the age of 30, it basically means that there is no hope, but he finally has two children, and now he is about to give up one of them, which is a big blow to him.

"The eminent monk of the Shingon sect seems to suggest burning the child, but Yoshida Kenju said otherwise, that is, to follow the example of Izanaki and Izanami and exile his first child and let him drift in the water. If nothing happens, being alive means This child will be a born sage who saved the country from danger, if he dies, he will naturally be a monstrous evildoer who will disrupt the world, and it will be fine if he is eradicated."

Ichijo Kaneyoshi's words interrupted Ashikaga Yoshimasa's last hesitation in his heart. Whether his son is a monster or not, he really doesn't know if he is the father, and he doesn't know how to guarantee it.

According to legend, two brothers and sisters, Izanami and Izanami, created the world. The first god born after the marriage of the gods was Hiruko (Ebisu), but because the younger sister spoke first, the first child was deformed. Therefore, if a raft is used as a boat and drifted away in the water, it is not counted as the daughter of the two gods.

Yoshida Kenju obviously wanted to imitate this Shinto ceremony, Ashikaga Yoshimasa stood up, took out the folding fan in his hand and said, "Even if it is unknown, at least hug him, if he is a born saint, then when he grows up Just take this fan and come back."

"His Royal Highness is wise."

After Yiyi Jianliang finished speaking, he suddenly felt tired. He actually spent so much energy for a newborn baby.

Can a small child really talk?

Ichijo Kaneko had doubts in his heart, he just felt that these monks and onmyojis had been bribed by Hino Tomiko.

As Ashikaga Yoshimasa's wife, Tomiko Hino used all means to make her son a general. If she gave birth to a daughter, she would naturally be sent to a nunnery when she grew up. If it was As for her son, even if she became a monk, she would not feel at ease with such a younger brother who threatened her son's inheritance rights.

Unexpectedly, as a dignified Guan Bai, he would be coerced by Tomiko Hino to work as a minion for a tiger.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little sad. The only consolation is that the rivers that he and Kenju Yoshida drifted along the water have already been fixed.
