This witch is a boy

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was so excited that he waved his fan, and his tone even started to speak incoherently.

But I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. When I saw the child looking at him with red eyes, I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my heart. I subconsciously moved my eyes away, not daring to look at the child, as if I had done something wrong.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa didn't understand what kind of situation this was, he just felt that this child made him very unhappy as a general.

Since both the master and the apprentice made him so unhappy, then the two of them just died together.

"Xiao Guang, why are you here?"

Yixiu Zongchun looked at the child beside him, a little surprised, shouldn't this child be with Minghui and the others?

And how did he get into the imperial palace, he didn't lead the way this time, and what about the women's clothes he wore this time.

"Because, I am very worried about the safety of the master, so I came here. I am also a witness to this incident, so this incident cannot forget me. I think that even if I die like this, it will be a merit. When I go to the Pure Land , and there is no big problem."

Ying Siguang said to Yixiu Zongchun, but he scolded his father in his heart. He was going to run away with his master.

If the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa is ignorant and wants to kill his master, then he will kill him himself. Anyway, this general has not left a good reputation among the common people and in history.

Who knew that all of his spells would not be able to be used against Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

"You are such an idiot, General, you can't kill this child, if you want to kill it, kill the poor monk alone."

Ikkyu Zongjun glanced at the firm-eyed Takashiko, shook his head, and said to Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

"It can't be killed, why can't it be killed? Just because he used his fan to injure the widow and prepares to assassinate the general is enough to kill him several times. If you say that, I have to kill him."

It's okay if Ikkyu Zongjun didn't say it, but it aroused Yoshimasa Ashikaga's anger when he said it. Although he hadn't thought about how to deal with the child, since he said that, both of them would die together.

"Death is death. I'm not afraid of you. You are an incompetent general who can't control his subordinates. You burned Kyoto and Osaka to ruins. The foundation laid down by Lord Yoshimitsu and the authority of the shogunate are all lost to you." The prodigal son is defeated, as a general, he can't control his subjects, he can't help the people, he can't give the world a stable life, and he can't even protect the court.

Takashiko said angrily, since he was going to die anyway, he continued to say all kinds of vicious words, "When you were young, you relied on your mother Shigeko Hino, and when you grew up, you relied on your wet nurse. , and then relying on Tomiko Hino, you have been manipulated by women all your life, you are doing nothing in political affairs, you cannot establish meritorious authority to comfort your ancestors, and you cannot protect the people and protect the country from below. The Hachiman Temple really flows in your body Bloodline, are your ancestors really Minamoto, Ashikaga Yoshiyasu, and Ashikaga Takashi?"

The words like a cannonball were said in a series, not only the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa was stunned, but even Ise Shinkuro and Ikkyu Munejun were stunned.

This not only completely negates Ashikaga Yoshimasa's life as a general, but even his blood as a descendant of Genji.

"Good, good, good..."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa smiled instead of anger, and said three good things in a row, with a sneer on his face.

Ise Shinkuro closed his eyes, as the side of the general Ashikaga Yoshimasa, he couldn't understand the general's temper very well, this is the general's extremely angry appearance.

"Who taught you to say these words? Once you say this person's name, I don't have to kill you and your master."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was in a hurry, thinking that someone must be abetting this child.

Although he thought he was not a wise general, it was the first time he was scolded so viciously.

In this way, a six-year-old child would never be able to say it. The names of everyone mentioned above are beyond the knowledge of an ordinary child.

"No one taught me. This is what I want to say and what I really think. General, do you think you are a wise general?"

After Takashiko finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and after a while, Ashikaga Yoshimasa closed his eyes and said softly, "You cut off the heads of these two annoying guys."

"Amitabha."

Ikkyu Zongchun recited a Buddhist name, and looked at Takashimitsu with a complicated expression, whether to tell Ashikaga Yoshimasa the true identity of this child.

"Keep people under the sword."

While Yixiu Zongchun was thinking, the sound of hurried footsteps and the sound of people leaving under the knife came from outside the room.

"His Royal Highness, can you spare these two..."

Kanbai Ichijo Kaneyo rushed over panting, and pleaded with Ashikaga Yoshimasa for Ikkyu, but before he finished speaking, Ashikaga Yoshimasa interrupted, "Thin noodles, what do you have for thin noodles."

"..." Yiyi Jianliang was speechless. Anyway, I am also Guan Bai. Even if you want to refuse, can't you be more tactful?

Chapter 103 Thin Noodles

Guanbai is a very special official position in Japan. It is not listed in the list of official positions. It appears in the form of "Ordering Foreign Officials". It is the same as the official position of Ashikaga Yoshimasa's General Conquest of Barbarians. It is an official position of temporary workers. .

The reason why it is temporary is because the power of Guanbai, Regent and General Zhengyi is very powerful, and they are not allowed to exist for a long time. If they exist for a long time, the emperor will become powerless.

Theoretically, Guan Bai and General Zheng Yi are two equal officials, but in fact they are not at all.

When Ashikaga Yoshimasa's father Ashikaga Yoshinaka was in power, Kaneyoshi Ichijo, who was Kanbaro, was bullied by his father once.

Ichijo Kaneyoshi, as a unparalleled university student in Japan, loves learning and has no bad habits. If he insists, he loves cockfighting. However, cockfighting is from the Tang Dynasty, and it is also an elegant thing for Gongqing .

One day, Kaneyoshi Ichijo held a cockfight in his mansion. As a result, there were too many people watching that day, which hindered the general's Ashikaga volunteer team from traveling.

This made the general Ashikaga Yoshinaka very unhappy, and he severely banned the cockfighting competition in the entire Kyoto at once, and even expelled the cockfighting.

Therefore, whether Ashikaga Yoshimasa will give Guanbai's thin noodles has become a problem.

"His Majesty the Emperor, also entrusted me to ask the general to forgive me..."

Ichijo Kaneyoshi planned to move out the two of them's immediate bosses after Emperor Tsuchimikado came out, but before he finished speaking, Ashikaga Yoshimasa said, "The Emperor has lived in my house for several years, do you think I should charge him rent? Fee."

"This……"

Ichizo Kaneyo had nothing to say, and these words really hit the nail on the head.

These days, although the shogunate only has Yamashiro State, they can still make some money from exploration and cooperation trade and German government orders, but the court is miserable these days.

The imperial court's imperial materials were occupied by a large number of samurai below. He also had hundreds of acres of farms in Echizen Kingdom. Who knew it was occupied by the local daimyo Asakura Xiaojing. He originally thought that he could get it back theoretically with his status as Guanbai , who knew that he was beaten out by his soldiers with sticks before he even saw the other party's face.

I feel sorry for myself, all of whom are dignified Guanbai, who have been reduced to such a point. In the end, they can only regard it as their own family in Echizen Kingdom, which has never had so many manors.

"His Royal Highness, this time I am not only here to save the life of Master Ikyu, but also for you, General." Yiyi Jianliang said immediately.

"Oh, for my own good?"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa smiled instead of anger, even if you are the number one scholar today, can you still turn black and white.

"His Royal Highness, do you know about the five treasonous crimes?" Yiyi Jianliang asked back.

"Kill the father, kill the mother, kill the saint, destroy the unity of the monks, and shed the blood of the Buddha."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa spoke slowly, as if curious about what Kaneyoshi Ichiichi was talking about.

Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan was a land of gods and Buddhas. To believe in Buddha is to believe in God, and to believe in God is also to believe in Buddha.Huang Quanguo is a filthy place. It seems that except for the emperor's family and the descendants of the gods, ordinary people can't go to Gao Tianyuan. Therefore, for their own future, the Japanese people are counting on entering the Xitian Pure Land .

Of course, due to publicity and advertisements, even the emperor, ministers, generals, and samurai believe in Buddhism, so they are very familiar with Buddhist terms.

The five rebellious sins are the biggest sins considered by Buddhism. If you commit one of them, no matter how great the good fruits you have accumulated in this life are basically useless, you will not be able to enter the Western Heaven and Pure Land after death, but only go to hell.

"His Royal Highness, Master Yixiu is a saint, an Arhat. If you kill him, do you want to go to hell in this life?"

Yiyi Jianliang said loudly that when Ikkyu Zongchun was 25 years old, his master monk Hua Sou said that Ikkyu had already attained the Tao and was an arhat. Of course, another meaning is a saint.

Because it was what Hua Su said, so the ministers and the warriors believed it, and the more important thing was that Yixiu Zongchun's prestige among the people was indeed very high, and killing him would also have a great impact on the general's authority.

"A crazy monk who cheated me of money can also be called a saint. It's ridiculous."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa sneered in his heart, he already knew that Ichikara wanted to save Ikkyu, so he didn't care what the other party said at all.

"But he cheated His Royal Highness of the money to save the people. He didn't take a single penny, and he was playing in your name, General. Even so, isn't His Royal Highness planning to let him go?"

Yiyi Jianliang asked again, "It doesn't matter whether he is a saint or not, listen to the evaluation of the common people about him, general, do you really have such great confidence?"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was silent, he was also a Buddhist, and later he followed his grandfather's example and built a Ginkakuji Temple. It was because of this that he knew that Ikkyu, a monk, would rather take the risk of being killed by himself than lie to himself In all fairness, he doesn't care about this kind of eminent monk, five thousand guan is not too much for him.

But, but, when I think of the child looking at me, and what he said.His heart was never at peace.

"For the time being, put these two guys in prison and starve them for a few days."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa waved helplessly, signaling his subordinates to detain the two of them.

Ichijo Kanehara heaved a sigh of relief, the lives of Master Ikkyu and the child were finally saved, and it was not in vain for him to come here.

Takashiko and Ikkyu Sojun were pushed down by the samurai, and Kaneyoshi and Ikkyu Sosumi looked at each other, and then glanced at the child next to Ikkyu, startled.

That girl, that girl...

One day, Kanara seemed to have seen something terribly frightening, and pointed at Takashiko with trembling hands, unable to speak.

"What's the matter, Your Highness Guan Bai?"

Ashikaga Yoshimasa asked curiously, he was fine just now, why suddenly he seemed to see a ghost.

"It's nothing, if there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave."

One Kaneyoshi bid farewell to Ashikaga Yoshimasa, wiped his eyes with his hands, what did he see, the divine girl who claimed to be reincarnated into the shogun's house that appeared in front of him back then.

Although he didn't know what was going on, why the girl let him go suddenly, but he was not mistaken at all, the "girl" who was pressed by the warrior just now was exactly the same as the girl he saw before, except for the difference in age , as long as they grow up, they will be absolutely the same.

One day, Kanara walked out of the room full of thoughts. He felt that he still had to meet Master Ikkyu tonight and talk about the true origin of the child who was following him.

Was it the youngest son of the general he proposed to throw away, the baby who could speak from birth.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa sat limply on the ground, saw the folding fan on the ground, stained with his blood, opened it, with a surprised expression on his face.

On the white gold bottom, there is a crane depicted with dark gold foil, soaring straight into the sky. It is a very beautiful pattern. On the other side, there are blooming cherry blossoms, which seem to have Waka.

This is the Luyuan fan, a beloved object of his grandfather Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, passed down to him as a family treasure, and finally handed over to his son who had to be forced into the water not long after he was born.

How could it be here, how could it be here!

Ashikaga Yoshimasa wondered in his heart, is his poor child still alive.

Chapter 104 The Saint of Time

"Hey, what's wrong with your dejected look now?"

Ying Siguang sat on the straw mat and looked at the depressed Ashikaga Yoshinaka, feeling a little puzzled, this is not like the Ashikaga Yoshinaka who is the heir of the shogun's family that he usually sees.

We must know that this kid is very high-spirited and extremely arrogant on weekdays, but today he is like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he has no energy.

"I went to my father just now and told him to let your master go. Who knows that my father scolded me. This is the first time. I'm a future general."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka said angrily, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, seeing the strange expression on Takashimitsu's face, he also felt that this was not good, and tried to calm his excitement.

"You have to know that the widow is under the fifth rank, and the left horse's head. In three months, I will be the general who conquers barbarians."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka directly used the title of general, as if he regarded himself as a general. Hikaru Takashi glanced at him, and he was indeed worthy of being the son of a general. As soon as he came up, he became the general of Zhengyi from the left horse head of the five It is estimated that he will be promoted again.

He can be promoted every year, and promotion is like riding a rocket, and the highest official position of his Ueno Hazawa family can only be lower than the fourth, even if he is also an aristocrat, there is such a big gap between rich and poor.

Of course, if you change to a general of the Tokugawa shogunate, the first official position is from the two inner ministers. The reason why the first official is from the left horse head of the fifth is entirely because this is Minamoto Yoritomo and his father Minamoto Yoshitomo. official.

"You are not the general who conquers barbarians yet, let's talk about it when you become one."

Ying Siguang didn't bother to talk to him, he

Both the father and son felt speechless, they were both so self-righteous, thinking that if he became a general, everyone in the world would have to revolve around him.

"Hey, your words are exactly the same as what my father said."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka showed a surprised expression, it was because of this sentence that he was so angry.

"Don't mention your father, I'm really annoyed by him, isn't it just five thousand coins, so care about it, and it's all given to refugees, it's also for his reputation, if you have anything delicious, give it to me and the master."

Takashiko didn't want to hear Ashikaga Yoshinaka's name at all, he glanced at Ikkyu Zongjun who was meditating, and said to Ashikaga Yoshinaka.

"Although I brought food, I'm not happy that you speak to me like this. I'm a general."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka resumed the style of noble son, and remembered why he was afraid of the other party. He was the heir of the Ashikaga family, the future general, and the other party was obviously just a prisoner in front of him.

"If you don't give it to me, if you don't give it to me, get lost and go to meditate."

Takashiko was also full of anger in his stomach, and roared to Ashikaga Yoshinaka, and then imitated his master Ikkyu Sojun to meditate.

"Master, can meditation make people not hungry?" Ying Siguang asked curiously.

"No." Yixiu Zongchun opened his eyes, the light of wisdom shone in his eyes, from being like a statue just now, now he has regained his vitality.

"Then why did you meditate for so long?" Ying Siguang was puzzled.

"Because if you don't meditate, you will be more hungry." Ikxiu closed his eyes again and resumed his sitting meditation posture.

"Is there a way not to meditate but not to be hungry?" Ying Siguang didn't give up.

"Yes, you go and beg His Highness Yishang for mercy, both of us can avoid hunger." A smile appeared on Ikkyu Zongchun's face.

"Hahaha... You are indeed worthy of being an eminent monk. That old guy Guan Baiyi and Jianliang said that you are a saint, and he is not wrong at all."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka laughed triumphantly, looked at Takashiko, "Come to me, beg for mercy, as long as you ask me, I will give you something to eat."

"Die, eat my iron fist of justice."

Without saying a word, he punched Ashikaga Yoshinaka on the head. For some reason, he couldn't see this guy's complacent look.
