Jueshu glanced at this person, shook his head and said.
"No need."
The mage laughed dryly, closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Kyoushu knew that this person had some relationship with the old sect of Koyasan Shingon sect, but he did not want to scold him at this time to avoid embarrassment to everyone.
She sneered in her heart, the dead Odaisho was really powerful.
While making good friends with the Tendai Sect, he devoted himself to practicing Buddhism and getting close to the Tendai Sect. At the same time, he sent his own daughter to Kofukuji Temple to be raised by the Shingon Sect.
By keeping silent and eating both sides, you are really treating the Tiantai Sect as a fool.
Kakushu Shonin has always been very proud of being able to establish a relationship with the Odaisho. Taking the upper-level route and influencing the shogunate by getting close to the Ashikaga Shogun's family is her strategy.
But I didn't expect that Odaisho's method was even better. He used a biological daughter to win over the Shingon sect secretly and established another kind of close relationship.
This was a severe slap in the face to Kyoshu, and it made her unable to cry out the pain. The kindness of raising her was greater than heaven, so Ashikaga Yoshiaki must have been thinking about the goodness of Shingon sect.
Even before Ashikaga Yoshiaki came to power, the Tendai sect went to the Shingon sect to ask for help? Doesn't this mean that everyone is telling everyone that Mount Hiei will be shorter than Mount Koya from now on?
Absolutely not!
Therefore, the Tendai Sect must solve this trouble by itself, and cannot let the Shingon Sect or other sects underestimate the influence of Mount Hiei.
Thinking of Xiangguo Temple, Jueshu's face became slightly deserted and he said.
"The body of General Ashikaga was sent to Sokokuji Temple by the Miyoshi rebels.
The Rinzai sect disregarded dignity, held a funeral for Lord Gongfang without permission, and overrode the placement of the general's body. This mistake must be corrected.
No matter what, we must reach a tacit agreement with His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and the funeral of General Ashikaga must be reorganized."
Master Kyushu can temporarily tolerate the Buddhist flag of the Nichiren Sect, but the Nichiren Sect has long since declined and cannot shake the foundation of the Tiantai Sect.
The Rinzai sect used Ashikaga Yoshiteru's funeral to suppress the momentum it created at Shokokuji Temple. The Miyoshi family was a rebel, and the Rinzai sect colluded with the rebellion, so the funeral held could not count.
The shogunate will definitely support this matter.
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki wants to succeed to the throne, he must properly handle the affairs of his ancestors. The conclusion of the coffin is a major political matter and must not be taken carelessly.

Oda Nobunaga escorted Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Beijing, and an unexpected incident occurred during the Kamiro ceremony.
Nichiren of the Nichiren Sect's Honnoji Temple took the opportunity to raise a flag and sow discord between the Oda family and the Tendai Sect.
The nuns of the Tendai sect, who were used to being domineering, fell into the trap and left the welcoming queue to return to Mount Hiei.
Peter and Bautista, the Southern Barbarian priests who were secretly preaching in Kyoto, saw a glimmer of opportunity in this.
She intended to contact Oda Nobunaga, a powerful feudal lord, to find a new breakthrough for the Nanman Sect's missionary work.
If the Nanman Sect is granted missionary rights by the shogunate through the Oda family, the Oda family will definitely anger the Ichiko clan.
The Yixiang Sect fought brutally against the Nanman Sect in Settsu Kingdom over the years, claiming to be the guardian of the Buddhist faith.
If, because of Oda Nobunaga, the spread of Nanmanism was brought from underground to the stage, this would be an extreme provocation to Ishiyama Honganji and should never be tolerated.
The Nichiren sect's painstaking revenge, the Tendai sect's arrogance and rudeness, the Nanman sect's waiting for opportunities, the core interests of the Ichikai sect, and the old Shingon sect from which Ashikaga Yoshiaki was born.
A small accident in Shangluo Zhiyi is like a spark that may ignite the powder keg that has been accumulated for many years by various religious parties in recent times.
If this trigger really breaks out, I am afraid that the neutral tacit understanding between the Wu family and the sect to keep a distance will be completely broken.
When the sectarian disputes are intertwined with the martial arts disputes, the world will become even more chaotic.
———
Ise Sadakyo stood at the front of the welcome queue despite being sick. After the spring plowing, the weather turned warmer, but she was weak and could not help but tremble slightly.
But she refused the support of her retainers, and stood firm like an old pine tree in Kyoto. She stood upright, obeyed etiquette, and did not dare to slack off.
While waiting, some Oda troops raised the Nichiren sect's Buddhist flag, and some nuns from the Tendai sect left the scene angrily.
But the well-informed old woman from the shogunate didn't even raise her eyebrows, and still stood respectfully in front of the queue, with a calm demeanor.
The shogunate has been unrest for many years, what kind of scene has Ise Sadato never seen? She could tell at a glance that someone was causing trouble, but she was not in the mood to take care of anything else at the moment and was too lazy to pay attention.
The Battle of Shangluo ended unexpectedly, and the counterattack planned by Ise Sadao lost its opportunity before it could be launched.
She had to lament that after all, it was young people who acted decisively.
Matsuhisa Nagahide was more shameless than she imagined. He didn't care about Miyoshi Changqing's kindness at all, and cut off the fate of the Miyoshi family with a sword in his hand. The Miyoshi family would inevitably decline in the future.
Having lost the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, how could Ise Sadao care about those troublemakers with evil intentions who took advantage of Luo Zhiyi to cause trouble.
Now she only has one thought in her mind: How will the Ise family survive?
At the beginning, the conflict between Ise Sakyo and Ashikaga Yoshiteru had intensified to the extreme.
When Miyoshi went to Luo, she ignored the ministers' territory, and it was she who was involved. Miyoshi was entrenched in Kyoto, and it was she who negotiated with the Miyoshi family.
Others can dodge and argue that they have no choice but to clean up Ise Sadakyo, the treacherous mastermind who is a collaborator with the enemy.
When Ise Sakyo grows old, she is not afraid of death. She is only afraid that the Ise family, which is the head of the hereditary government office, will die with her.
In order to arrange a way out for the family business, she had to stand here and find a way to communicate with Ashikaga Yoshiaki and find a way to let the Ise family survive.
Matsunaga's approach gave her a hint of inspiration. After all, why should she care about her old face?
No need for face. As long as she can pass the test, she can be shameless and have no bottom line.
When a person severely offends his leader and there is a fierce conflict between the two parties, how can he obtain the leader's forgiveness or even be reused?
Open your heart? Apologize sincerely? That’s because you don’t want to die fast enough.
He just thrust the hilt of the knife into the leader's hand, wishing that he would be stabbed a few more times and die justifiably? It's really stupid.
The best way is to establish a common goal and replace the secondary conflict with the leader with a more intense primary conflict.
Only if you share the same hatred with the enemy will the leader forgive you and use you to deal with the more threatening enemy.
The battle of Shangluo ended in an anticlimactic manner, due to the rebellion of Miyoshi's retainer Matsunaga Hide.
But Oda Nobunaga pulled Ashikaga Yoshiaki to quickly go to Luo, monopolize the great achievements, and completely ignore the embarrassment of Shiba Yoshigan. Is there any discord in this?
The problems within the Shangluo army may be more serious than what the Ise Sadaect himself imagined.
Ise Sadakyo knew that she was guilty of a serious crime and could not get through it with normal means. But if there were big differences within the Shangluo army as she suspected, then she would still have a chance to stand up.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a descendant of Ashikaga who lacks status, and Oda Nobunaga, a daimyo from the countryside, do they just want to regain the shogunate? Impossible.
Everyone has ambition, but power cannot be shared.
Shiba Yiyin has great righteousness and is unparalleled in battle. He is a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of all ambitious warriors who covet the power of the shogunate.
As long as Shiba Yoshigan is in charge of the shogunate, it will be difficult for everyone to realize their ambitions. He is like the sun, too shining and brilliant, and does not give others the chance to climb up.
Ruining someone's future naturally leads to deep hatred. There are no two suns in the sky, and no two kings in the earth. In the face of power, who doesn't want to fight for it?
This world belongs to Warrior Ji. This is the way of the world, where women are superior to men. How many women are really willing to bow down to a man?
Hey, man. Hey, woman.
———
The ceremony of Kamiro was not interrupted by the departure of the nuns of the Tendai Sect. After a brief period of confusion, both Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga chose to ignore the matter and continue the ceremony.
Oda Nobunaga could not fall out with the Nichiren Sect. She also needed the Nichiren Sect's caravan merchants and iron cannon workshops.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki also needs the support of Oda Nobunaga, otherwise she would not have the confidence to deal with Yoshigan Shiba and the samurai family of the shogunate.
Since everyone has something to hide, small accidents cannot shake the foundation of mutual trust.
The court ministers in Kyoto are also experienced in the world and can respond very quickly. They are all prone to crime, so they naturally have to understand the principles of observing words and emotions.
A ceremony to welcome the new master continued enthusiastically, and the Kyoto shogunate led by Ise Sakyo invited Ashikaga Yoshiaki into the Nijo Imperial Palace.
The original Muromachi Imperial Palace was burned down, and the Grand Imperial Palace and Ashikaga Teru-kun were buried in the flames.
The shogunate had no choice but to use Nijo Castle, where Ashikaga Yoshiteru died, as the imperial palace to welcome the new master to live there.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki feels unlucky, Nijo Imperial Palace is also the residence of Ashikaga Yoshiteru after all, and it has strong political significance.
In order to show that he inherited the legacy of the Ashikaga shogun family, Ashikaga Yoshiaki held his nose and entered the Nijo Imperial Palace, which could be regarded as a formal statement to the world's samurai family about his intention to succeed to the throne.
The Nijo Imperial Palace was renovated by the shogunate, and the main hall where Ashikaga Yoshiteru was murdered was turned into a side room.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki took his seat in the new meeting hall, and Oda Nobunaga sat down half a table, followed by the high-ranking samurai who escorted her to Luo, such as Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Oda Nobunaga insisted on going to Luo, and Asai Nagamasa and Shiba Yoshigan returned to their bases one after another, but neither of them caught up with this dispatch.
The military forces of Maeda Toshiie and Todo Toraka were left in the Minami Omi area, and only the Mikawa Tokugawa family sent more than a thousand troops to share in the victory.
This was also a step taken by Oda Nobunaga to deliberately win over Tokugawa Ieyasu and gradually make the Tokugawa family a subsidiary of the Oda family.
Tokugawa Ieyasu is not without a sense of crisis, but she has always been good at forbearing. This time in Luo, she acted in a high-profile manner and behaved in a low-key manner. She did not say anything, did not fight or grab, and she seemed to be responsible.
The ministers then entered the hall and sat down, and all saluted Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the surviving daughter of the Ashikaga Shogun family.
Although this is a bit against the rules, after all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki has not yet succeeded to the shogunate. But the ministers are eager to show off, so what rules should be followed at this time? As long as the new master is happy.
Sure enough, Ashikaga Yoshiaki enjoyed this feeling very much, and Oda Nobunaga followed him for half a seat, also squinting his eyes in intoxication.
After everyone had finished their greetings and polite remarks, the conversation got to the point.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki looked at Ise Sakyo, the chief minister, and said calmly.
"It's been really hard for Mr. Ise these days."
Ise Sakyo's heart trembled, knowing that the drama was about to happen. In the Kyoto Incident, the minister was guilty. She was the mastermind behind the scenes, which made the crime even worse.
When Ashikaga Yoshiaki first arrived, he must settle old scores and establish his prestige.
Ise Sadakyo knew that the survival of his family business depended on this, so after taking a deep breath, he spoke.
"My servant is guilty and his crime is unforgivable. How dare you call him hard?"
Ashikaga Yoshiaki said with a smile.
"Why do you say this, sir?"
Oda Nobunaga smiled and said nothing.
The female soldiers of the Oda family are by her side, and Kyoto is already under her control. Today's Shangluo Zhiyi still has a few lives left to decorate the lintel and scare Xiao Xiao.
It's not complicated to say. The wisdom of the predecessors is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga have already reached a tacit agreement that the ministers must pay the price for their actions.
Oda Nobunaga was busy sharpening his sword, his eyes were like a cat playing with a mouse, watching how Ise Sadaji struggled, and taking a look at the quality of this veteran shogunate.
Ise Sadakyo fell to the ground and kowtowed, expressing his sorrow and sadness.
"The old minister is old and has no interest in worldly affairs for a long time.
When my ancestor was still alive, he cared about my lack of energy and handed over the affairs of the government office to Lord Ninagawa.
Lord Ninagawa is reliable in her work and is highly trusted by the ancestors and the imperial court, so I can trust her with peace of mind.
During the Kyoto Incident, His Excellency Ninagawa happened to be away. Miyoshi's rebel party was entrenched in the capital, causing panic among the people, fearing that rebellion would run rampant and destroy the thousand-year-old capital.
As a last resort, I stepped in to deal with them, perfunctory the Sanhao family, and did many things that went against my conscience.
Although the situation was helpless, it was indeed an act of disloyalty to our ancestors. I sincerely request His Highness Ashikaga Yoshiaki to severely punish me so that all the ladies in the shogunate will take a warning."
Ise Sadakyo knew that he had done too much and it was useless to quibble, so he simply admitted it.
Yes, she did a lot of things for the Miyoshi family, but they were all to protect Kyoto. If the Ashikaga Shogun family wanted to pursue her for her disloyalty, she would plead guilty and face the law.
But there was something else in her confession, which was that she secretly revealed that Ninagawa and Yoshigan Shiba had a very good relationship.
Ise Sadakyo was gambling. The two highnesses on the gambling table cared more about the immortal Odaisho, Yoshigan Shiba, than the already cool ancestor, Yoshiteru Ashikaga.
The only chance left for the Ise family is whether Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga are willing to see the political office, the core institution of the shogunate, controlled by ministers close to Yoshihiro Saba.
Sure enough, Ashikaga Yoshiaki frowned slightly, and Oda Nobunaga pretended to be curious and took over the conversation.
"That Lord Ninagawa has an old relationship with Lord Kenshin? But how come I heard that the relationship between Lord Kenshin and the ministers is not harmonious."
Yoshigan Shiba came to Kyoto from Owari and had many conflicts with the ministers.
The imperial family system was restarted after the War of Norada and the imperial family status was given to the Todo family members, which touched the interests of the shogunate.
To take down the guardianship of Iga country, let the founding of Iga country return to the guardianship system, so that the ministers lost a huge financial source of seclusion in Iga.
There were also shogunate ministers who contacted Miyoshi Nagakei and served as a wall during the war. After the war, they tried their best to prevent the rise of the Shiba family, fearing that it would affect the check and balance of the shogunate's power.
It can be said that Oda Nobunaga's intelligence was correct. The rise of the Shiba family was constantly harming the interests of the ministers, and the relationship between the two parties was therefore quite cold.
But there are exceptions to everything, and the Ise Sadakado really has dirty water to throw at Ninagawa Makoto.
