Then random jokes came out one after another. There was one saying that Princess Bunsuka killed her child because she was jealous of Konoe Kenko, and she cursed Ashikaga Yoshiteru and went crazy to kill Konoe Kenko. However, she was discovered by the eminent monk who was in charge of the Five Mountains and failed. , what is even more outrageous is simply to say that Shuten Douji broke the seal and returned to the human world to kill Teruwakamaru and so on.
Under the chaos in Kyoto, Konoe Maekaku really had no way to approach the depressed Ashikaga Yoshiki to discuss that important matter. He could only frequently go in and out of Ouchi and the palaces of various ministers to discuss the changes in the current situation, but he soon It was found that both the nobles and the common people in Kinai were more concerned about what kind of monster Ashikaga Yoshiteru was possessed, rather than considering the impact of the current situation and the pros and cons.
There is a quiet courtyard in an alley near Gion Shrine outside Sakyo, Kyoto. The courtyard is filled with green bamboos and unknown flowers. The water bamboos in a small pond are tinkling. A bird landed on the edge of the pond, chirping at the water and combing its feathers from time to time. This small courtyard seemed like a small isolated world, blocking out the hustle and bustle outside the small courtyard.
There was a bald old man sitting in the courtyard, taking a nap in the sun. It wasn't until a few birds suddenly flew away in the corner of the courtyard that the peaceful scene was broken. The bald old man seemed to notice that the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little strange, and slowly opened his eyes. With cloudy eyes, he saw a young woman wearing a red and white miko uniform standing in the courtyard and smiling at him.
This old man is the former Buddhist monk Guoxin. When he saw the young woman in witch attire, he said, "Guoxin...you are here!"
The woman dressed as a witch was the Guo Xin layman who was disguised as Yun Aguo. Seeing the Void Monk, he just smiled silently and said, "My mission has been completed ahead of schedule. Have you got the money?"
The mention of money made the old void monk excited. He put down the tea cup and said excitedly: "I got it. Matsunaga Danzhengden is very satisfied with your performance. He hopes to continue to cooperate with us, and the goal this time is to make a public order." The royal wife..."
"Okay, I don't want to hear this. When you get the money, just give me my share!" The girl Guo Xin sneered: "It's really hard to get this money. I'm really embarrassed to do such an unscrupulous thing. Master, aren't you afraid that you will have to cut off your children and grandchildren in the future?"
The Void Monk was a bit embarrassed: "Ahem...how can a poor monk with so many children and so many blessings end up with no descendants?"
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case! If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you may have no descendants one day!" Layman Guo Xin looked back at the silent courtyard and said calmly: "The location of this courtyard is good. It's only a stone's throw away from Zuo Jing. , and can enjoy the peace and comfort that is rare in Kyoto, I’m afraid the price of this courtyard is not cheap! It seems that the master has really made a lot of unreasonable money!"
Being scolded by his disciple in front of her for making shady money was an experience that Nihility Monk had never encountered in many years. The old monk was trembling with anger, pointing at her and scolding: "...Guo Xin! You must always remember your Identity! You are the remnant of the prince of the Southern Dynasty, and you are a more taboo existence than us Kawara natives! Without my intervention, you can only crawl in the corner of Kyushu and be a humble peasant woman. Everything you use is The poor monk gave it to you! You must learn to be grateful and know how to fear authority and be virtuous! Do you understand?"
Master Guoxin wrinkled his little nose and replied with disgust: "This is a fair choice in both directions. You choose me to inherit Master Guoxin's skills, and I use my ability to repay you for giving you a good life. There is no existence between us.
Whoever is grateful is not to mention awe-inspiring and virtuous. The sages of the Ming Dynasty once said that living with good people is like entering a house of orchids, and you will not smell the fragrance for a long time; living with evil people is like entering an abalone house, and you will not smell the smell for a long time.
I feel like my nose is going to be ruined!"
"You traitor! You really piss me off..." The Void Monk was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. Even his title was changed to something else. He pointed at Layman Guoxin and cursed: "You are going to be so angry that you will die."
I! You made me so angry that you tried to seize my property. I was so blind that I chose you as my apprentice. I should have..."
"Stop talking nonsense and give me the key!" Layman Guoxin stretched out his hand and acted as if he didn't want to listen to your nonsense. He made the Void Monk angry and cursed her repeatedly, calling her ungrateful, disrespectful of filial piety, shameless, etc.
wait.
Sure enough, the layman Guoxin was annoyed and he pointed at the courtyard and said, "This courtyard is so beautiful, it must have gathered a lot of Master's hard work and wisdom! This courtyard is a good place to live in seclusion and retire, but if you live there overnight
Wouldn’t it be a pity to be burned down by a fire?”
The void monk widened his eyes and shouted: "You are threatening me..."
"Whatever Master thinks! If we don't give you the money, this beautiful courtyard will definitely burn down!" Layman Guo Xin crossed his arms and made a proud gesture. The angry Void Monk grumbled for a long time and didn't dare to say anything.
Because he knew that he couldn't defeat this thin little girl.
Their organization is a bit similar to the ancient black society organization. They engage in shady business such as debt collection, extortion, kidnapping and fraud. Occasionally, they also engage in murders, arson and house robbery, because their activities are irregular and they have a huge river base.
As a grassroots group, the Muromachi shogunate was unable to take action even if it knew there was such a social cancer due to the influence of the wars in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
The evil Gosho Ashikaga Yoshitsune had once intended to attack this group of people. For this reason, he specifically mentioned this matter to Gozen Satata. The leader of the shogunate, Hosokawa Mokiyuki, had made relevant plans after personally interfering with them, but he had not had time.
When the action was taken, the Kagichi Rebellion broke out, Ashikaga Yoshitsune was killed, and Hosokawa Mochiyuki was almost maimed. Then a new round of riots broke out in Toichi Ke, which made the shogunate busy putting out fires everywhere to take revenge and support new generals and other chores.
The dangers of this little social cancer are being covered up.
Later, during the Onin Rebellion, the Eastern and Western armies fought over the issue of heirs for the Shogun family. Nearly 300,000 troops gathered in Kyoto and almost crippled the ancient capital. So much so that the residents of Kyoto were most impressed by the war in Kyoto. From Asahi
The Shogun Minamoto Yoshinaka's burning of Kyoto, and the several wars from the Onin Rebellion to the Onin Rebellion will always be painful for the people of Kyoto.
The more chaotic Kyoto is, the better it will be for these urban foxes. In the past hundred years, Kyoto has successively experienced the Ming Dynasty Coup, the Battle of Funaokayama, the burning of Sanshina Honganji Temple, the Battle of Fukakusa, the Battle of Katsuraikawa, the Battle of Rakuchu, etc.
Following a series of wars, this group of pests crawling in the dark corners of society expanded at an alarming rate in less than a hundred years.
But no matter how they expand, or they lack the support of force and the existence of a more important legal cloak, their status is somewhat similar to the evil party in the late Kamakura shogunate, except that the evil party was originally a group of non-partisans who did not obey the shogunate and did not participate in the Genpei War.
Those with vested interests have land, population, and strong military strength. Today's world has long since reached a consensus after the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. All samurai in the world respect the Ashikaga Shogun family as the supreme rulers of the samurai family.
These pests in Kyoto can only be pests and nothing else. Not to mention they dare not provoke the powerful Miyoshi family, the Kira family, and even the samurai of the shogunate are not something they can provoke. Although the population controlled by the entire Kawara family in Kinai is no less than three
Ten thousand people, but the actual number of able-bodied men available was no more than 500, and there were barely about 50 who could be called thugs. This small force was only slightly stronger than the peasant soldiers who had no food and clothing.
With this ability, it's okay to imitate bandits and rob houses. Challenging the order of the shogunate and even Kyoto is simply a suicide. They don't even dare to rob larger business travellers, because these businessmen either have the Chamber of Commerce behind them to support the front group.
The back followers would not dare to approach at all, or they would join together and hire ronin to protect themselves, so they could only bully some small businessmen who were new to the industry or who were not familiar with it.
Under this premise, the Nihility Monk was forced to dare not fall out with Layman Guoxin face to face. Not to mention that his old body was no match for Layman Guoxin, but there might already be someone in the system of their secret organization.
Her conspirators wanted to divide their own land and property, and depending on Guo Xin's temperament, they might have done so.
The void monk looked at the layman Guoxin in surprise, and after a long time he threw a bunch of keys over: "...Here you go! It's in the earthen warehouse of Shengrakuya downstream of the Kamogawa River. Remember to go there in the middle of the night so that no one can see it!"
"I no longer intend to cooperate with Matsunaga Hide. Master, please help me refuse that request! It is enough for me to do the rebellious behavior once with all my heart. I will disappear for a period of time recently. Master, please don't miss me!"
Having said that, the figure of layman Guoxin quietly disappeared into the faint bamboo forest.
"Damn bastard woman! I must... hmph!" The Void Monk endured for a long time and still swallowed back the cruel words. It is only fools to say harsh words afterwards. The Void Monk is very smart and will never do such a meaningless thing.
Stupid thing.
After moving his legs a few times, he quietly walked into the room behind him, pushed open the door and carefully opened a secret door, followed the dark secret door to the spacious cellar below, where there were piles of gold, silver and copper coins, and a pair of skinny chicken feet.
Carefully touching these real gold and silver with your hands, it's like touching a beautiful piece of art or a graceful beauty.
"Sure enough, only gold, silver and copper coins are the most reliable! Only they are the most obedient! Don't worry about betraying me if you put them here! In this troubled world, you can have nothing, but you can't live without money!" The void monk enthusiastically held up the gold and silver coins.
He screamed like a child with a pile of toys.
Suddenly the lights in the cellar flickered slightly, causing the nihilistic monk who was obsessed with gold and silver to immediately become alert. He heard a clear voice saying: "Master is right! You can live without anything, but you can't live without money. Guo Xin can't live without money."
I think it makes sense..." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better novels and faster updates!
