"Don't be too greedy, we have already caught a living person, and it is clear that the mastermind behind it is Ise Sadakyo, which is enough to satisfy the Odaisho.
His Majesty Oda used the heads of the Ise Sadato family to intimidate the shogunate. We cannot afford to interfere with this matter, so let's end it here.
I will take a few people with me alive and go to Tamonyama Castle on a mission to ask the Odai Office to allow us to go to Sakai Port to serve the sick Takada Yukino-sama.
You and Okita-hime restrain the people left behind and wait for my return."
Hijikata Toisho nodded, and the two of them looked at the blood-stained river bank and stopped talking.

When Shiba Yiyin retired from his residence and took over the throne, the situation in Kyoto not only did not ease, but became more intense.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki had just driven away Yoshigan Shiba, and he was so satisfied that he was ready to fulfill her dream of becoming the master of the world.
However, Oda Nobunaga raised his butcher knife at this moment, and the shogunate was shocked to find that this powerful foreign vassal who had been lurking at Tofuku Temple was not as easy to get rid of as they imagined.
On the one hand, Ashikaga Yoshiaki resented Oda Nobunaga's violent behavior, but on the other hand, he was moved by the three good crusade she outlined.
The mutual testing, friction and cooperation between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga will continue.
At this time, Shiba Yiyin, who had just returned to Duwenshan City, welcomed his first visitor.
To his surprise, the first people to arrive were not the two concubines of Nizi Mountain, nor the three concubines of the Konki military commander faction headed by Maeda's interests, but Master Nagakaku of Kofukuji Temple.
In the tea room, Yiyin received Master Changjue, whom he had not seen for several years. He couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this Buddhist-like Taoist monk with a dusty body.
he joked.
"Master Changjue, I just want to become a monk and practice Buddhism. I don't want to die forever. You don't have to rush."
Changjue smiled slightly and looked at the handsome young man in front of him. After two years of not seeing him, he became more and more handsome and had an extraordinary temperament.
Changjue, who had been amazed by Yiyin's appearance back then, couldn't help but secretly regret it.
The peerless beauty has become a widow, and now she will become a monk and worship the Buddha. She is so jealous of the beauty. Even her Buddhist heart, which she has held for many years, is somewhat uncontrollable, and she sighs for Yiyin.
Of course, Nagakaku dared to come here in a hurry, not because he was seduced by Yoshigan's beauty, but for the benefit of Kofukuji Temple and the Shingon Sect.
The two made a pact to join the Tao, and Nagakaku emptied Kofukuji's family fortune, provided supplies, and helped Yoshigan win the Battle of Yamato.
Yoshigan sold his faith to the Shingon Sect and promised to join the Shingon Sect and protect Kofukuji Temple.
Now it seems that both parties have kept their promises, which makes Master Changjue feel very gratified. Trading with Yiyin is the most successful choice in her life.
Now, Sibo Yiyin is determined to become a monk, and he chooses her to preside over the ceremony, which gives Master Changjue face.
Master Changjue didn't dare to neglect. He just received the news and hurried over to Duowen Shancheng.
Kofukuji Temple is not far from Tamonyama Castle, so she became the first visitor to Yoshigan after returning.
At this time, after hearing Yiyin's ridicule, Master Changjue looked solemn, bowed and said.
"The wind and dust in spring and summer are a bit heavy, which makes the poor nun feel miserable."
Yiyin smiled.
"Is it the wind on the road that is moving, or is it your clothes that are moving, or is it your heart that is moving?"
Glancing at Yiyin who was leisurely and contented, Changjue knew that Yiyin didn't mean it, but it didn't matter whether she accepted the words or not.
Yiyin thought he was educated and changed a famous saying of the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng to think of his heart as a Buddha.
But the problem is, Shingon Sect is a Tantric sect, and Yoshigan is talking about famous quotes from Zen Buddhism, which is really embarrassing.
Zen Tantric Buddhism, is that a thing? If someone were so confused, Changjue would have straightened his face and walked away.
But facing Yiyin, it was hard for her to refute.
Yiyin held a high position and was an active religious figure. How could she refute this lord's ignorance of the teachings and his nonsense?
If Yi Gin's desire to seek enlightenment from the Buddha was lost, wouldn't it be a loss to the Shingon sect? The Buddha also had to consider the influence of the world, and he naturally had to be more tolerant towards important people.
Changjue laughed twice and said nothing.
Yiyin somewhat realized that he was probably uneducated and talking nonsense, which made Master Changjue laugh, so he had to shut up in embarrassment.
The eight sects of Chinese Buddhism that formed a system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties are classified into Zen, Jiao, Law, and Pure Secret. The four sects of Tiantai, Sanlun, Huayan, and Consciousness-only are all called Buddha's language, also known as Zen.
Japanese Esoteric Buddhism was introduced to Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It was brought back to Japan by Master Kukai who traveled to the Tang Dynasty to study. It is called Eastern Esoteric Buddhism, also known as Mantra.
Tang Tantric Buddhism in the Celestial Dynasty went extinct after Sanwu destroyed Buddhism. On the contrary, Tantric Buddhism in Japan flourished and was called Lamaism, also known as Tibetan Tantric Buddhism.
Yiyin used the words of Hui Neng, the sixth founder of Zen Buddhism, to show it in front of Master Changakue of Shingon Sect. This is enough to prove that he is a false believer and knows nothing about Buddhism.
Nagakaku doesn't care whether Yoshigage understands it or not, as long as he is willing to continue to protect Kofukuji, the Shingon Sect will recognize him as a devout believer.
The King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace. When Yiyin officially became a monk and practiced Buddhism, there would be a large number of Shiba Family Princess warriors who believed in Shingon Buddhism to express their loyalty to the family governor.
The Shiba family's business is booming, the Shingon sect is able to attract a number of powerful warriors to become believers, and Master Changjue's skills are so great that she is even qualified to compete for the position of the leader of Mount Koya.
In the face of such a huge benefit, Master Changjue will not care about Yiyin's small mistakes. The most important thing now is to take the matter of becoming a monk as quickly as possible and not let the cooked duck go.
Yiyin was still a little embarrassed, but Master Changjue had already changed the topic and asked.
"Da Yutai intends to become a monk and practice Buddhism. May I ask if there is a family temple in Dawen Mountain City?"
Yiyin nodded.
Niko Katsuhisa was a fastidious person. When building Tamonzan Castle, she took into account the fact that Nara was a Buddhist country and the special relationship between Kofukuji Temple and the recent Shiba region was why she built a family temple in the city.
Master Changjue wished that Yiyin would become a monk immediately, cook raw rice into cooked rice, and make a great contribution to the Shingon Sect. But if you should ask clearly, you should ask carefully to avoid future troubles.
she asked.
"Odaigosho, I, the Shingon sect, are not those deviants from the Yixiang sect who will cut off worldly marriages as soon as they enter our sect.
You are young and have no heirs. Do you still need to think carefully about becoming a monk and cultivating yourself?"
After Master Changjue finished speaking, he looked at Yiyin eagerly, fearing that he had really changed his mind.
In fact, there is no problem in becoming a monk and returning to secular life, as long as Yiyin is willing to go through the process. Master Changjue just wants to confirm the reality of his faith.
The Shingon sect does not want him to devote himself to worshiping the Buddha, but it wants his family to be big enough to protect Kofukuji Temple. Koyasan can also borrow the east wind of the Shiba family and not fall behind in the sectarian disputes.
Yiyin smiled, looked at Master Changjue, and said.
"Who said I have no heirs? Mother Hachiman gave me a royal white flag, and I am the husband of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the father of the world.
As an elder of the Genji family, all the martial arts families in the world are my children, right?"
