This witch is a boy

"Well, it is also a great fortune for my Buddhist sect that His Royal Highness Qinglianyuan can be the head of Tiantai."

"Qinglian Yuandian is also a disciple of Master Yixiu. He has already practiced Buddhism. We naturally support it."

The eminent monks of five mountains and five temples including Tenryu Temple, Sangkok Temple, and Daitoku Temple also expressed their approval. Ashikaga Yoshimasa nodded in satisfaction. He was also very satisfied with the attitude of the monks, and it was not in vain to spend a large sum of money .

To be honest, forcing his seven-year-old child to become the head of the Tiantai directly, even as a general, it is not easy for him to find a way.

Not only the non-heirs of the general family have to become monks, but the non-direct heirs of the Shiguan family have to become monks if they don’t separate their families. In addition, the emperor and the prince of the palace family also have sons who become monks. Therefore, the abbot of a good temple The competition for positions is a bit fierce.

At least Ashikaga Yoshimasa's father, the villain Fang Ashikaga Yoshinaka known as "everyone feared", wanted to forcibly arrange his younger brother as the head of the Dalai Lama, but he was unanimously protested by Mount Hiei, but he still failed in the end.

However, when the Onin Rebellion broke out, not only the emperor's palace, but also the residences of the public and samurai families, and even the temples were burned to the ground.

Therefore, what was impossible before was finally done easily with the help of Ashikaga Yoshimasa's "Eiraku money diplomacy", which created a miracle in the political and religious circles of the Muromachi period.

The 7-year-old child becoming the head of the Tendai Sect is the first miracle since the founding of the Tendai Sect, and it was also a miracle in the Muromachi period. The unanimous support of the court and the shogunate and the pressure exerted by the entire Buddhist circle on the Tendai Sect Hiei Mountain, coupled with the Ashikaga Yoshimasa Yongle Qian's diplomatic success, and finally a miracle was born.

So, except for Takashiko himself, everyone knows that the youngest son of the former general Ashikaga Yoshinaka, the younger brother of the current general Ashikaga Yoshinaka has a new name, Qingrenin Yoshimitsu, and his father is in order I found a high-paying job with a guaranteed income in drought and flood, and a life-long salary, and became a monk.

By the way, Shoren-in Temple is the father of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the former head of Tendai, the grandfather of Takashimitsu in this world, the monastery where Yoshika Yoshinaka practiced when he was a monk. This time he inherited his grandfather. career.

Therefore, even if he didn't go to take office, the previous generation of the Tendai seat of Mount Hiei, Prince Ho, also admitted that Takashiko was the current generation of the Tendai seat.

And Takashiko, who is far away in the Kanto region, didn't know about all this. He didn't know that he had a new name, which was forcibly changed by Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and he didn't know that he had successfully changed his job from a shrine maiden to a monk. The head of the country's largest monk, the head of the Tiantai Pope.

…………

Sarugaku, also known as Noh, was formerly known as Sangaku, which absorbed the Tang Dynasty in the Nara period.

Noh music developed greatly in the Muromachi period. The famous saru musicians Kanami and Zeami both served the three generations of generals Yoshimitsu. Ashikaga Yoshimasa's ability as a general was questioned. However, Higashiyama Villa was created to protect literati and artists, forming the Muromachi period. The famous "Dongshan Culture", which is very worthy of recognition by later writers and historians.

"I am a courtier of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The current emperor is a virtuous emperor, so Shang, the wind and tree spirits, the people do not close their households, it is really a peaceful and prosperous world. For this reason, the Four Seasons Fair never neglects, every time it is held They are all extremely prosperous... Even the thousand-topped red crane and the long-lived green-haired tortoise will dance and swim in the hall, it really is a scene of prosperity..."

On the stage, a narrator dressed as a courtier is located in the center, announcing that the emperor welcomes the Emperor to the Hall of Longevity, and then exits the stage, and the beginning of the Noh play "Crane and Turtle" begins immediately.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa stared at the stage with inexplicable sadness. Although he was a mediocre general, the entire Kyoto was turned into ruins, and the world's wars also took place during his reign.

Ape Music "Crane and Turtle" shows the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong welcomed the Palace of Longevity, and the scene of cranes and tortoises coming together to celebrate the emperor's birthday still aroused the sighs of the officials and eminent monks present.

Kyoto was turned into a piece of scorched earth, shrines, temples, and government treasures and documents disappeared. The saddest thing is Kanbai Ichijo, Konoe, and Ichijo. In the flames of war, the collection of books at home was wiped out.

Poor Guanbai, Kaneyoshi, had gray hair all night. His son's teaching room went to Tosa and there was no news. .

The ministers who stayed in Kyoto began to kneel and lick Ashikaga Yoshimasa thoroughly. Kyoto is not very safe, but the whole country is full of wars, so how can other places be safe?

Guan Bai's one and good family is the biggest negative teaching material. Red-eyed warriors don't care whether you are the future Guan Bai or the grandson of Guan Bai.No matter how you look at it, it is safest to stay by the general's side.

"Mr. Yijiao."

The elder ministers and eminent monks stood up abruptly, watching "Tang Xuanzong" who came out of the stage take off his mask and revealed a face that surprised everyone present.

"Yijiaogong, how could it be Yijiaogong?"

The eminent monks quickly recited the "Lotus Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra" for the man who still had an impression on the stage. No matter what the scriptures were, they had to quickly save the man on the stage.

"Father."

Listening to everyone's words, Ashikaga Yoshimasa raised his head and looked at the man on the stage. Is this his father whom everyone fears?

Six generations of generals, known as the "monster feared by all", Ashikaga Yoshinaka.

Because Guanbai Ichijo Kaneyoshi hindered his travel by holding a cockfight at home, he ordered the ban on cockfighting, expelled the chicken species from Kyoto, and severely slapped Guanbai in the face.

Because at a certain ceremony, one of the emperor's attendants smiled at Ashikaga Yoshinaka, who was regarded as mocking the general, directly confiscated his manor, expelled from the court and never hired, and slapped the emperor in the face.

Ashikaga Yoshinaka wanted his younger brother to take over his class, and he was the head of the throne, but was opposed by Enryaku Temple in Mount Hiei. As a result, he directly beat his monk soldiers, besieged Mount Hiei, and burned the gate of the mountain. The head was cut off and played as a ball, and finally the three leaders of the shogunate came to plead for mercy, and then let Hiei-san live.

Ashikaga Yoshinaka made him unhappy when he was in power. Whether it was a minister or an eminent monk, even the emperor's biological mother, the court Guanbai and even the royal prince were all punished by him.

What is a devil, this is the real devil.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa held back the fear in his heart, and he was not deeply impressed by this father. When he was 5 years old, at the peak of his life, he died of betrayal by his subordinates. The ratings are not high, some are just scary and awesome.

"Little light."

Ashikaga Yoshinori waved his sleeve, skipped his face, and then changed into a different person again. Ashikaga Yoshinori looked at the people on the stage dumbfounded, and suddenly turned into Xiaoguang again.

…………

"My lord, did you have a nightmare just now?"

The voice of calling came to the ear, and the first person Ashikaga Yoshimasa opened his eyes to see was the priest Yoshida Kanetsu who was the first mate of the god.

"No, it's just that my grandfather Yijiao turned into Xiaoguang in a dream, and I feel a little weird."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa shook his head, looked around Murata Zhuguang who was fighting tea with others, and only asked, "Are you going to perform the Noh play "Crane and Turtle" next?"

"As the saying goes, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, and a butterfly dreamed of Zhuang Zhou. Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he became a butterfly in his dream. Maybe it was the butterfly who dreamed that his shadow became Zhuang Zhou in his dream."

Yoshida Kanetsu said in an ambiguous tone, "Perhaps what the Gosho-sama saw in his dream was not Yoshimitsu who became Shoren-in Yoshimitsu, but Yoshimitsu who became Yoshimitsu."

"What do you mean? Jianju, you always like to beat around the bush like this."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa complained dissatisfiedly. Although he said it indifferently, he couldn't ignore it in his heart, because the dream just now was too real.

Yoshida Kenji remained silent, looked at Ashikaga Yoshimasa's head and found that the Yamata no Orochi on his head actually showed a weakened posture, even if he was not a general, as the general's father, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, as the great imperial palace, could not have only Such a dragon spirit.

The Great Imperial Palace, like the Taishang Emperor, is the ruler of his own son. Although he has retired, he has authority and status higher than that of the general, so the dragon spirit will even surpass the general Ashikaga Yoshinaka.

However, the personality of Ashikaga Yoshimasa is no longer the pattern of the people of the world, so it only shows one point, that is, the Ashikaga family has changed from a general of the world to an ordinary daimyo, even though they are still the lord of the world in name.

Meng, the dream just now came by a coincidence.

Yoshida Kanetsu seems to understand somewhat, the plan of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the ancestor of the Ashikaga family.

Chi Guoguo is already cheating, okay?

Actually forced the wisdom and experience of the wicked Fang Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to Takashimitsu, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't directly help him to regain the world.

However, Yoshida Kenju will not say these words. It is impossible for the ancestors of the Ashikaga family to interfere in the human world. What they did before was just taking advantage of the chaotic situation when the fate of the Ashikaga family collapsed. .

"The subordinates reported to the widow that Xiaoguang seems to have gone to the Kanto. The widow has already entrusted Zhengzhi to help. If you see him in the Kanto, send someone to take him back to the capital."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa was disheartened and lazy. He had lost the ambition to clean up the world, so he just handed it over to the leaders.

After becoming the Great Imperial Palace, he began to have a discord with Tomiko Hino, especially when Tomiko hijacked Yoshinaka and led the Hosokawa family to control the power of the shogunate, the relationship between the two became even colder.

From the beginning of the marriage, Tomiko Hino had a miscarriage, and drove away Jinsanju and his five concubines, and then drove away Mrs. Yaoji who gave birth to Xiaoguang during the Onin Rebellion.

So he and Hino Tomiko Kazuyoshi are still at odds, and now Ashikaga Yoshimasa misses Takashimitsu who is far away in Kanto.

Not only did he successfully become the head of the Tiantai apostle, at the top of Buddhism, but he also brought together the dilapidated ministers of the imperial court, and made Emperor Gotu Mimon, who lived in his house, hold a court meeting, and let Takashimitsu be appointed as the third back.

The so-called quasi-three queens are the political treatment and food towns given to the other queen, empress dowager, and empress dowager. It is not for the eminent monks with deep connections, but for the Sheguan family or the general's family. Simply put, it is a proper royal treatment. .

Originally, this kind of treatment should have been only available to Ashikaga Yoshimasa and General Ashikaga Yoshisaka, but under his operation, Takashimitsu also got it.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa felt that he was very good to this young son, and his father still loved him very much.

Not only did he arrange a high-paying iron rice bowl job (as a monk), but also gave him a royal treatment.

He is really a good father.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa couldn't help thinking, and suddenly burst out laughing. Seeing the laughing Dagosho, the officials below couldn't figure it out.

What is it that made Yoshimasa Ashikaga so happy?

This is great fatherly love!

Chapter 161 The Great Army Is Coming

Kanto, Izu Country · Horikoshi Imperial Palace

In the small Buddhist hall, the sound of chanting sutras can be heard endlessly. Masachi Ashikaga, the prince of Horietsu, sat on the futon and recited Buddhist scriptures. There are three Buddha statues in front of the case. The Buddha Sakyamuni is in the middle, and the one on the left is Pharmacist Tathagata, on the right is Hachiman Bodhisattva.

It is not surprising that everything goes wrong, as the official Ashikaga Masachi, he finally placed his heart on the gods and Buddhas. It is not surprising that the general Ashikaga family has people who have been monks for generations, and it can be said that it is the most pious Buddhist family. It is not an exaggeration, Horikoshi Gongfang was also a monk before returning to vulgarity, so even a monk in Izu country is not as good as him in reciting Buddhist scriptures. After all, he is also a professional.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, a letter from Kyoto, a letter from Kyoto, it is a letter from the general."

There was a sound of joy, and the door of the small room was pushed open. Ashikaga Masachi stopped chanting, put down the wooden fish, looked excitedly at the attendant who reported, and was very happy.

My general brother in Kyoto has never forgotten this younger brother in Izu, Kanto.

Ashikaga Masachi snatched the letter from the attendant with tears in his eyes, tore it anxiously, and asked while tearing it up, "Did the envoy of the shogunate say something? Did my elder brother send an army to help me?"

"That's not true, it's just that this letter was forwarded by the Imperial Palace to His Highness Gongfang."

After the attendant finished speaking, Ashikaga Masachi tore open the letter with a look of disappointment on his face.

Ashikaga Masachi is the son of the sixth-generation general Ashikaga Yoshinaka, and he is the brother of the eighth-generation general Ashikaga Yoshimasa. In terms of age, he should actually be the elder brother. However, after the seventh-generation general Ashikaga Yoshikatsu fell from a horse and died, someone needs to succeed the general s position.

Ashikaga Yoshikatsu and Ashikaga Yoshimasa are brothers of the same father and mother, and their mother Hino Shigeko holds the power of the shogunate. Therefore, although Ashikaga Yoshimasa is older than Ashikaga Yoshimasa, Ashikaga Masachi is still regarded as a younger brother.

Say you are a younger brother, you are a younger brother, you can only be a younger brother, you must be a younger brother.

Shigeko Hino was born in the Hino family. Since the third general Yoshimitsu, he has been out of the Imperial Palace for generations. You are a concubine, but you still want to be a general. You should give up your heart.

So Ashikaga Yoshimasa became a general, and Ashikaga Masachi followed the practice of the Ashikaga family and became a monk at Tenryuji Temple. He thought that he would spend his life like this.

Unexpectedly, the Xingde Rebellion broke out, and the general Ashikaga family and the Kamakura Ashikaga family were torn apart, so the younger brother Ashikaga Masachi, who was the general, quickly returned to the secular life and was sent to Kanto to become a ring between the Kamakura Kokao and the Ashikaga Chengshi.

Although he became His Royal Highness after returning to secular life, Ashikaga Masachi's heart was broken.

The general's brother Ashikaga Yoshimasa ordered him to go to Kamakura to inherit the Kamakura government, but his current problem is that he can't even enter the gate of Kamakura.

The leader of the Uesugi family expressed support for Ashikaga Masachi, but the problem is that the former Kamakura government, which is now Furukawa Ashikaga Chengshi, is still in Kanto.

As the number one assassin of the Muromachi shogunate, Ashikaga Cheng said, you can't say that I am not the Kamakura government, and I am not the Kamakura government, so I have no face, and there is no way to dismiss me.

This is the same as when a county magistrate went to be the magistrate of a certain county, only to find out that the predecessor who should have been dismissed refused to obey the organization's arrangement, relying on his identity as a local to fight against the outsider Ashikaga Masachi It's life and death, just refuse to move your butt.

Ever since, Ashikaga Masachi was very embarrassing in Kanto.

As the saying goes, neither advancing nor retreating.The daily painting style of Kanto is that Guan Lingfang and Furukawa Gongfang are in full swing every day.

And the daily life of Horikoshi Masachi Ashikaga is to watch the captain Uesugi Kensada and Furukawa fight each other every day, as a quiet and handsome man, and then eat vegetarian food and chant scriptures every day, waiting for the general's brother's reinforcements, so that he can hurry up Enter Kanto.

Brother General, have you forgotten my little brother?

Brother General, when will your army be sent here?

Brother General, Brother Zhengzhi misses you so much, can you let me go back to Kyoto?

Ashikaga Masachi tore open the letter from his general brother. At this time, Ashikaga Yoshimasa has abdicated and is no longer a general. However, as the biological father of the current general Ashikaga Yoshinaka, he has become a large imperial palace and still has considerable influence on the shogunate.

"Help me find my son Syorenin Yoshimitsu who ran away from home, and send him back to Kyoto."

Masachi Ashikaga looked at the letter in a daze, thinking that his general brother finally remembered his brother who was far away in the east country, who knew that he was actually asked to help find his brother's missing son.

Ashikaga Masachi put down the letter and fell to the ground in a state of collapse. Being a government official in Kanto is actually meaningless at all.

Although the Kamakura government was appointed by the shogunate, the former Kamakura government, Ashikaga Chengshi, refused to hand over the power. Even though the leader of the Uesugi family was on his side, he could only do one thing in the struggle with the Furukawa government. famous spectators.

He was a monk before, so if he were asked to recite scriptures and knock on the wooden fish, and explain Buddhist scriptures by the way, there would not be too many problems, but it would be a bit difficult for him to go into battle and kill the enemy. Not all monks will be like his father after returning to vulgarity Ashikaga Yoshinaka is so tough.

Others are monks who have become monks halfway, but he is only a monk who has become a monk halfway. He is not very talented, and there are not many talents under him.

Not only can he not command the forces of the Kanto anti-Furukawa government, even the small Izu country cannot be fully controlled. The most important thing is that the leader of the Uesugi family only obeys the orders of the Muromachi shogunate.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, someone is looking for you."

A servant's voice came from outside the door, Ashikaga Masachi got up from the ground, and cursed at his servant in depression, "What's the matter, it's inappropriate to shout so much."

Ashikaga Masachi taught his subordinates a lesson, and when he was speaking and teaching, he saw two witches and a child coming to him under the leadership of his attendants.

Miko and children?

Masachi Ashikaga looked at the combination in front of him, one priestess held a sword in her hand, the other priestess carried a bow, and a child who looked quite arrogant.

This combination is really weird and nondescript.

What's the matter, what's the matter with my attendants, how come everyone is brought to my palace, and one is holding a sword and the other is carrying a bow. Even if such a dangerous person who is fully armed is to be brought in, he must first Let's talk about the weapons.

"Who are the three of you?" Ashikaga Masachi showed doubts. Although it was strange, he was a monk after all.

"Kashima Shrine, Kashima Mahiro." Mahiro said with a weak face supported by Kikyo.

"Witch, Kikyo." Kikyo replied immediately.

Ashikaga Masachi looked at the only child among the three. Although the appearance of the two maidens was quite shocking, looking at this child, he faintly felt that he should be the leader.

This feeling is ridiculous, but Masachi Ashikaga felt that way.

He is not afraid of any changes between the three of them. This is his imperial palace, and his people are everywhere. If he wants to murder him, he will be hunted down by the warriors of the imperial palace immediately. Moreover, he is only staring at the official name and has no power at all. There is no reason for the Rie Yue public party to be murdered.

After all, Mr. Furukawa's Ashikaga Chengshi didn't come to attack him. Instead, he concentrated on fighting with the leader of the Uesugi family. He obviously didn't regard him as his opponent, but he should replace the guards of the imperial palace. Why? Anyone who is casual will go to his palace to lead them.
