Yiyin was still confused. He was licked back and forth by countless people day and night. Could it be that he had become a licking dog unintentionally? This sudden realization made him unable to accept it.
On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga didn't understand the terms that came from the previous life in Yoshigoshi's mouth. She only had a partial understanding of them. So she naturally didn't understand the tangled expression on Yoshigan's face.
The two of them fell into silence at the same time, and unanimously chose to skip this awkwardness and get to the point.
Oda Nobunaga said.
"Tsuda-den, just this morning, the messenger from Nijo Castle has ascended Mount Hiei.
It is said that Mitsuhide Akechi persuaded our troublesome general and asked her to issue an imperial edict that Buddhism is a pure place and the samurai’s battles must not disturb the Buddha.”
Yiyin nodded slowly, feeling very pleased.
Akechi Mitsuhide is a bastard, but he still knows the importance of doing things. As soon as she came back, she took the initiative to invite Ashikaga Yoshiaki to set the tone and smooth out the hidden dangers for her mediation trip.
Yiyin said.
"Mountain Hiei is very close to Kyoto. If there is a war here, Kyoto will inevitably be affected.
Mihao goes to Luo, and the disaster in Kyoto is not far away. The shogunate took precautions before it happened, and it was very appropriate for the general to take the initiative to calm the situation."
Oda Nobunaga sneered.
"Appropriate? Ashikaga Yoshiaki secretly wrote an imperial letter against Oda, and the Tendai sect helped her take the letter out of Nijo Castle, and then the Ichikaichi sect passed it around.
Asai, Asakura, Rokkaku, Miyoshi and other powerful vassals in recent years have all been linked together by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and they have besieged me.
Jindoden, do you call this appropriate?"
Yiyin said coldly.
"Your Highness Oda, why don't you tell me why the general needs the help of the Tendai Sect to spread the news?
The royal decree you promulgated by yourself first contained nine articles, and then added five more, making a total of fourteen articles that severely restricted the general's rights.
No one has ever dared to treat a general like this!
Even though the name of the mountain was at its peak, Hosokawa gained power in the shogunate, Rokkaku Sadayori bowed as a shogun, and Miyoshi Nagakei tried to become the governor and control the shogunate.
They didn't force General Ashikaga to call him the Queen! They didn't trample the face of the pillar of the Wu family on the ground! Before you accuse the general, please look at what you have done!"
Oda Nobunaga's unknown fire surged from the bottom of his heart and he roared.
"Didn't she ask for this?
It's her who is treacherous and backstabbing you, the person who has supported her to the position of general without asking for anything in return!
It was she who was watching with cold eyes. She watched helplessly as you were tainted by rumors and made you bleed and shed tears for the Ashikaga family!
It's her who is greedy for power. She ignores your good intentions of assisting the shogunate, but joins forces with me, a foreign vassal, to drive you out of Kyoto!
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's predicament today is her own fault. It is caused by her incompetence and lack of moral integrity. It has nothing to do with me!
Even without me, Oda Nobunaga, and such a fool sitting in the position of Ashikaga General, sooner or later someone else will come to deal with her!"
Yoshigan looked at Oda Nobunaga coldly.
"Have you said enough? Isn't it a relief to despise the general and the shogunate?
If you, Oda Nobunaga, are really as capable as you say, why did you end up in the situation you are in today?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki is stupid? Are you not stupid? You are arrogant, making enemies everywhere, and you are already in a situation where you are surrounded from all sides, and you still don’t know how to reflect?
You know that you can't do anything, you know that I'm here to help you, but you still show off in front of me. Who are you trying to show to me?
Where has your usual sense and wisdom gone!"
Oda Nobunaga pursed his lower lip, and there seemed to be fire burning in his eyes. Yoshigan's words were so heartbreaking.
She can not care about what anyone thinks of herself, she can be flexible and flexible, calculate the gains and losses based on utilitarianism, and make the choice that is most beneficial to herself.
However, she just doesn't like to accept Sibo Yiyin's sympathy, charity, and help. Because she cares about the man in front of her and doesn't want him to see her embarrassment and failure!
Oda Nobunaga sneered.
"Are you here to help me? Or are you here to help Asai Nagamasa, or are you here to help those arrogant bald donkeys on Mount Hiei?"
Yiyin said calmly.
"I'm helping you, I'm also helping Asai Nagamasa, I'm helping Master Kakushu, and I'm helping restore peace in the near future."
Oda Nobunaga couldn't help laughing.
"Huh, peace? What a disgusting word.
Tsuta-den, have you ever seen the Buddhist meeting on Mount Hiei? I was lucky enough to attend it once, and it left me stunned.
Those bald donkeys burned imported sandalwood purchased with huge sums of money, wore cassocks made of silk and satin, and sat cross-legged on incredibly soft futons.
In the splendid palace, the roof is made of gold tiles, the Buddha statues are covered with gold foil, and the nuns with solemn treasures talk about compassion for all living beings and talk nonsense, which is not helpful to reality at all.
During the Buddhist meeting, I had three meals a day. Although each meal did not involve meat or fish, there were so many vegetarian options that I was overwhelmed, and the taste was even more unforgettable.
Hahaha, compared to these high-level warriors, high-level martial artists like you and me are just beggars on their knees begging for food!
The poor Ji warriors under our command are worse than beggars. During the busy farming season, they have to go to the fields to help in order to ensure that they do not starve to death.
Not to mention the peasant women in the countryside who bury their heads in the loess all day, their backs cracked and deformed by exposure to the sun and deep bends, but they never get to eat the rice they grow, and live half-starved.
Jinduoden, do you think what Japan needs in recent times is peace? Do the sixty-six countries in the world need peace?
Peace means nothing to the poor and hungry people, what they need is to change all these injustices!"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"What do you want to change? What can you change? Burn Buddhist monasteries and take away the nuns' wealth?
Just transferring wealth from one group of people to another group of people. Is this what you call change?
From ancient times to the present, the majority of civilians have always supported a small number of nobles, and this world has never changed.
Even if a genius were born who could suppress the world for a while, be willing to share the world with the world, and force those in power to serve all sentient beings, what would happen? In the end, we would not go back to the old path of history.
You, Oda-sama, covet the rich people of the temple and want to steal money and food to use as military supplies. You talk about change in front of me. What is the difference between you and those hypocritical nuns who talk about compassion?
Do you want change if you don't want peace? Then will the world after you change it still be the world of the Wu family? If this world no longer belongs to the Wu family, what meaning do your so-called changes mean to me?"
When Yoshigan attended the Ishiyama Buddhist Association, she had thought that if a country bumpkin like Oda Nobunaga saw the wonderful life of the island nation's nuns, her eyes would turn green and she would want to snatch them all away.
The Yixiang Sect takes the low-level route, and it costs hundreds or even thousands of copper coins to hold a Buddhist meeting, which is considered extremely extravagant.
The Tendai Sect, known as the top sect in the world, held a Buddhist meeting in Kyoto that would only become more luxurious, which opened the eyes of Oda Nobunaga, a country bumpkin from Owari.
This time when she besieged Mount Hiei, she may not have had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the fire and stealing the nuns' votes to make up for her losses.
After all, the relationship between the Oda family, the Tendai sect, and the Ichikai sect has completely broken down. In this case, there is no need to consider the other party's feelings.
Stealing money and food to use as military expenses, and then continuing to fight snowballing wars, constantly expanding the territory. If money is lacking, continue to rob, and if you rob, continue to fight. What is this? Classical militarism?
Today, Yoshi Oda Nobunaga robbed the Tendai Sect, and Yoshigan stood by and watched. Tomorrow, she robbed the Ichigo Sect, and Yoshigan still turned a blind eye. When she robbed her, no one would help her.
Militancy is addictive, and this kind of female hooligan with ambitions to conquer the world cannot be tolerated.
Yiyin worked hard to build the Sibo New Life Movement and build a paradise for the Wu family, not just for this female gangster to rob it.
Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but snorted when he saw Yoshigage vigorously defending those annoying nuns.
"Tsudadon is worthy of being an elder of the Genji family, and he always has the world of the Wu family in his heart.
It's just that these temple forces have been a cancer in the world since the days of the Emperor's court. Temple lands are regarded as sectarian private property, they do not abide by the law and do not collect land taxes, and they expand their territory wantonly.
If things continue like this, will this world still be considered the world of the Wu family?"
Yoshigan glanced at Oda Nobunaga, who was making an impassioned speech, and said calmly.
"Your Majesty Oda, I came here to quell the war, not to hear you say bad things about the temple."
Oda Nobunaga laughed and said.
"Speaking of bad things, Shanke Shengcheng told me an interesting Buddhist story a while ago."
Yiyin frowned.
"Shanke Shengcheng? Is he the Southern Barbarian knight who served you loyally?"
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Yoshigan and smiled.
"Jin Duodian has a very deep memory of this Nanman."
