At this point, Yiyin is no longer interested in continuing the conversation.
His meaning is very clear. Akechi Mitsuhide must implement it even if he doesn't understand it. This is the general strategic direction set by Yoshibank himself and no one can tolerate the irresponsible remarks of others.
The Emperor's lineage has been overthrown by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, so let it be buried in the long river of history and don't pull it out again.
Yoshigan will inherit the legacy of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, seek to be canonized as the King of Japan by the Ming Dynasty, become a loyal lackey of the Ming Dynasty's tribute system, and lay a solid foundation for the theocratic rule of the Shiba family.
Looking at Lin Xinsheng who was eager to try, Yiyin said.
"Actually, I have always admired Zhu Xi, but it is a pity that there are too few famous people who are proficient in Confucianism in the island country, and I have never been able to find a suitable professor to teach him.
Mr. Lin, are you willing to give me some advice and take up the post of Professor of Confucianism in the Spermian School?"
Lin Xinsheng was overjoyed. Sibo Yiyin's reputation for generosity was indeed well-deserved. She quickly kowtowed to the ground and replied.
"The people are willing."
Yoshigan shook his head and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Mr. Lin is a great talent and should not be treated lightly. I asked Nizi Shengjiu to allocate one hundred shi of Zhixingdi's annual salary income from the Spo materials in recent Sbo to worship him.
Mr. Lin, from now on, you will be by my side and help me fill in the gaps. If there is anything unreasonable in the Spo family's laws, please give me your advice. Don't talk about common people anymore."
Lin Xinsheng was so happy that she almost fainted. Yiyin gave her so much that she almost couldn't swallow it.
The knowledge and practice of one hundred shi is equivalent to the threshold of a middle-level martial artist. Granting him the status of a Confucian professor, Yiyin is the gesture of a polite and virtuous corporal.
The improvement of Sibo's laws was originally a plan proposed by Dazang Chang'an to Yiyin. However, since Dazang Chang'an took over the Wu Family Principles Promotion Association, he has been very busy, delaying the construction of the laws.
Lin Xinsheng is familiar with Confucian classics and has the support of the Confucian circle behind him. It would be good if he could add some Confucian teachings about monarchs and ministers to Sibo's laws.
Confucian scholars are not good at fighting or settling accounts, but they are good at making up stories. No matter how bad the king is, as long as they are willing to use them, they can make up a wise king for you.
What Yiyin lacks most now is this kind of talent. In terms of religion, the nuns headed by Tiantai Sect are helping him. But in terms of secular achievements, suitable advocates are also needed.
Sibo Gongyi is different from the previous military regime. It will definitely be a secular regime with theocratic attributes in the future. It is also a good tool to modify the Confucian Mandate of Heaven and the Divine Right of Kings for use in island countries.
This is also the reason why Yiyin deliberately improved Lin Xinsheng's treatment. He treated Lin Xinsheng favorably, and the Ji warriors in his family must have understood it and learned a few famous Confucian quotes to please the king.
As long as the atmosphere of learning Confucianism is formed, the newly-grown Ji Warriors in the future will inevitably change their minds. After all, Confucianism has never lost in the matter of education and brainwashing, and it has been deeply valued by emperors of all dynasties.
Lin Xinsheng is of course grateful for this. She has found her own way out, and Confucianism has also found a way out in the island country. She must work hard and do her best for the Sibo family. Central
After saying this, Yiyin felt a little tired.
He had just fought with Akechi Mitsuhide for 300 rounds, and then was dragged to Kennin Temple to see Lin Xinsheng by Akechi Mitsuhide, and he still couldn't catch his breath.
Even a tough man can't withstand such oppression. Even if he can, his waist will be sore.
"That's it for today."
Yiyin stood up, Akechi Mitsuhide respectfully opened the door for him, and Lin Xinsheng kowtowed to the ground to say goodbye to you.
Just a few steps out of the Zen room, I saw Kamao, who was in charge of guarding, walking quickly from the other side of the porch.
Yiyin asked.
"What's up?"
Kamo clan bowed in reply.
"Your Majesty, Master Chongchuan, the abbot of Nanzen Temple, would like to see you."
Yiyin was stunned.
"Nanzen Temple? I went to Jianren Temple to worship Buddha. Why did the abbot of Nanzen Temple come over?"
Akechi Mitsuhide on the side smiled.
"Perhaps it was by chance that your Majesty came to visit you, and I admired you so much that you had the audacity to meet me, right?"
Didn't I tell you before that my friend and I came to Jianren Temple to visit and met Lin Xinsheng by chance? That friend was Nanzen Temple Chongchuan."
Yiyin glared at Ake Mitsuhide, coincidence? Another coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences in the world?
Akechi Mitsuhide is a bastard. She came to see him and wanted to have sex, but Yiyin had already reluctantly allowed her to succeed.
Unexpectedly, she was not greedy enough. After she had finished having fun, she would still stir up trouble. One moment, she came to the temple to recommend Lin Xinsheng, and the next moment, a minister from Nanzen Temple appeared.
If you keep plucking the wool, are you trying to turn the silver hair into a green dragon before you are willing to give up?
Yiyin snorted coldly and said.
"No." Yang
Akechi Mitsuhide was shocked, stepped forward and said softly.
"Your Majesty, this is the Yixiang clan..."
Yiyin rolled his eyes at her, now admitting that it was not a coincidence? It was too late!
"I told you, no see!"
When Mitsuhide Akechi mentioned Ichikong, Yoshigan knew she was planning something bad.
The Kamakura shogunate imitated the Five Mountains of the Rinzai sect of the Celestial Dynasty and established the Five Mountains system. Nanzenji is the highest temple of the Rinzai sect in the island country. It ranks above the Five Mountains of Kyoto and the Five Mountains of Kamakura, and has a high status.
The most powerful Buddhist sects in the island country today are headed by the two Heian sects, namely the Tiantai sect and the Shingon sect. These two sects are Tantric sects. Central
But historically, it was the Rinzai sect that had the closest relationship with the shogunate. The Rinzai sect was a Zen sect and the sect with the strictest Buddhist precepts, so it was favored by the shogunate and established the Five Mountains nun system.
Also because of its close relationship with the shogunate, the Rinzai sect developed rapidly. There were many hills within the sect, making it difficult to form a joint force, which eventually led to its gradual decline.
However, Nanzen Temple has a special status, with the highest temple status, and the status of the abbot is higher than that of the abbots of other Rinzai sect temples, and he is regarded as half a sect leader.
Despite the ambitious ambitions of religious groups such as the Shoukokuji Sect and the Daitokuji Sect, the Nanzenji Sect is actually the most influential sect in the Rinzai Sect.
As for the abbot of Nanzenji Temple, Soden, she has been the abbot of Fuganji Temple, Zenkoji Temple, and Kenchoji Temple, and has a profound background. Especially Kenchoji Temple, which ranks first among the five mountains of Kamakura.
With this qualification, Nanzenji Shoden's status within the Rinzai Sect becomes even more transcendent.
The Heian sect and the Rinzai sect are both Buddhist sects that have close relations with the upper class of the island country.
Other Pure Land Sects are more inclined to follow the bottom line. The Pure Land Sect of the island country is not the Pure Land Sect of the Celestial Dynasty. It is the result of Buddhism hatched by the localization of the island country itself.
The Ixiang sect that caused the most headache to the samurai and was best integrated with the mainland of the island country was the extreme sect born out of the Pure Land sect, the Pure Land Shinshu.
As time goes by, the cooperation between the Shiba family and the Yixiang clan has begun to change from mutually beneficial to harmful.
Akechi Mitsuhide hopes that Yoshiyin can kick Ichibuki Zong away for two reasons.
First, Yi Xiang Zong's desire to establish an earthly Buddhist kingdom and use Yi Xiang Yi's armed forces to overthrow the rule of the samurai family ran counter to Yiyin's insistence on safeguarding the interests of the samurai family.
The conflict between the two parties will break out sooner or later. Rather than waiting passively, it is better to cut it off in advance.
Secondly, as the Shiba Oda family reconciles and turns to joint development, Yoshibank will definitely give up part of the interests of the Hokurikudo trade route to Oda Nobunaga.
Part of the Oda family's territory has been embedded in the Hokuriku Road trade route, and the relationship between Oda Nobunaga and the Ichiki clan is on fire. Since Yoshigan chose the Oda family, he had no choice but to abandon the Ichiki clan.
In addition, the Ichikuki clan occupies a large share of the Hokurikudo trading route. If the Shiba family wants to give the Oda family a satisfactory share without harming their own interests, they can only cut the flesh of the Ikbuki clan.
But Yi Xiangzong is not a good person either.
Not only did the Shiba family need to rely on the strength of the Ichikou clan to maintain the safety of the Hokuriku Road trade route, but also the support of Yoshigan to build momentum, and the Ikkik clan was also one of the main propagandists.
A direct break with the Ichiko clan would do too much harm to the Shiba family. So it is not surprising that Mitsuhide Akechi started to make small moves secretly.
Although the Rinzai sect is loose, its overall strength is very strong, and Nanzenji Shoden also has the intention of reorganizing the sect. Akechi Mitsuhide brought her in, obviously to use the sect to check and balance the sect.
Yoshigan looked at Akechi Mitsuhide and said nothing. Akechi Mitsuhide seemed a little anxious and continued to persuade.
"Your Majesty, if the Tiantai Sect, Shingon Sect, and Rinzai Sect join forces to exclude the Ichixiang Sect, you can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the private fight between their sects.
Even if the Shiba family is influenced by the three sects in the future and becomes alienated from the Ichigo sect, Master Xianru of Ishiyama Honganji Temple will not be able to blame you.
Who made the Yixiang Clan lose its reputation? The impact of the private fights between the sects is too bad. You must always take the overall situation into consideration. Even if the Yixiang Clan suffers some injustice, it is a helpless act.
Do you think this is true?
After all, Master Chongchuan is the abbot of Nanzen Temple and is highly respected. If you refuse to see him, she will definitely feel uneasy."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"She's frightened. That's your problem. It's because you calculated too much that you got her in trouble. Central
You have to figure out how to make her not panic. Anyway, I won't see her today.
You said that you were doing these conspiracies to prepare for me, and you didn't want me to bother to know these dirty things.
What's the result? I want to give face to anyone, so don't be too pushy! Take care of your own affairs and don't bother me!
Pu Shengshi Township, let’s go!”
Yoshihiro was now determined not to let Mitsuhide Akechi succeed. Mitsuhide Akechi calculated every step of the way and was simply using himself as a tool.
After meeting Lin Xinsheng, I have to meet Nanzenji Chongden again. Treating the master like a dog or a monkey? She must be taught a lesson and let her explain it to Nanzenji Chongden!
Kamaojigo looked back at Mitsuhide Akechi, who looked depressed, and suddenly felt refreshed. He smiled contemptuously and followed Yoshigan away. Yang
———
After all the Shiba sympathizers evacuated, Akechi Mitsuhide watched Yoshiba Shiba drive away and then smiled.
As always, things need to be done carefully, like slowly boiling a frog in warm water. How can you be so impatient?
Akechi Mitsuhide went even further and made repeated demands, just to make Shiba Yiyin angry and angry at himself.
Nanzenji Soden will disappear if you don't see him. With the current status of the Shiba family, Nanzenji Soden is asking Akechi Mitsuhide to do things, so why not let this bald donkey dry for a while.
What Mitsuhide Akechi needs is Yoshihiro Shiba's angry words to take matters into his own hands.
After receiving a hint from Akechi Mitsuhide, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu began to actively respond to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's letters after he led his troops back. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was indeed moved and wanted to leave Kyoto. Central
Akechi Mitsuhide was worried that Ushiba Yoshihide would be soft-hearted and forcefully keep Ashikaga Yoshiaki. After all, Ashikaga Yoshiaki is Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sibling, and the two look very similar.
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki had stayed in Kyoto, even if the Ashikaga Shogunate was eventually destroyed, Yoshigan would have prevented Oda Nobunaga from killing Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and he would have been able to save his life to some extent, but this was always a hidden danger.
But if Ashikaga Yoshiaki escaped and became a pawn in the hands of Western daimyo, his life would not be spared by Yoshigan.
Regardless of whether the Western daimyo used the name of Ashikaga Yoshiaki to rebel against the center of the shogunate, or Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself caused trouble in the west, the trouble would eventually get out of hand and push him to death.
Akechi Mitsuhide was not worried about the future, but he was afraid that Yoshigan would intervene now and disturb Ashikaga Yoshiaki's escape, so he would deliberately find trouble and cause dissatisfaction to the emperor.
Your Majesty has to ask about everything, so what do you want your subordinates to do? Yoshihiro said a few harsh words and left in anger, but gave Akechi Mitsuhide the opportunity to act cheaply.
Mitsuhide Akechi could justifiably refuse to report the plan, but after Ashikaga Yoshiaki fled, the ship was done and the rice was cooked, and Yoshihiro had no way to pursue the case anymore.
———
Yoshiyin didn't know that Mitsuhide Akechi had a lot of trouble in his stomach. After a few days of leisure, he finally encountered something troublesome.
As the Tongxin Secretariat compiled the list of military merits and presented the Yiyin letter, Yiyin was momentarily dizzy by the huge number of post-war rewards.
Yiyin breathed a sigh of relief that he did not need to be rewarded with land, but the reward of money and food that followed still made him feel suffocated.
Yiyin read the document three times and was stunned for a long time at the last number before asking.
"Is the reward list confirmed?"
Naomasa Ii held his head proudly and said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is a list that I have personally checked. There are no omissions. It is fair, just and open. No one has any objections."
Yiyin's face was stiff, his tongue felt bitter, and he was speechless. After a long while, he said.
"Shixiang."
"Hi!"
"I'm going to Sakai Port in three days. You should prepare first."
One hundred thousand troops fought fiercely in spring and summer. Not only were the military expenditures staggering, but the number of post-war rewards exceeded Yi Yin's imagination.
In desperation, Yiyin could only find his own little Goddess of Wealth, Takada Harano, and think of a way.
The reason why we set off in three days is that Yiyin is preparing to solve the problem of Lilu's reward.
News came from Sakai Port that Lilu's Nanman merchant ship has returned to Sakai Port. The Battle of Saba Oda is over, and Lilu's appointment as the Shogunate's Nanban general agent should also be put on the agenda.
Now Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been reduced to a decoration, and Kyoto is under the control of the Shiba family.
With the prestige of Yiyin, it is easy to open a shogunate council to decide on such trivial matters as the general agent of Nanman.
At the shogunate council meeting the next day, the facts were just as Yoshigan expected.
No matter what Yoshihiro said in the review, the leader, Hatakeyama Takamasa, and the acting official of the political office, Ninagawa Chiayo, only firmly supported it, and other small fish and shrimps even rushed to agree.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was sitting on the main seat, said nothing and looked on with cold eyes. He was really like a decoration. Central
Seeing the samurai family of the shogunate rushing to flatter Yoshigan, the last trace of hesitation in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart was finally cut off.
The whole shogunate has been reduced to the lackeys of the Shiba family, and there is no place for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to stand. When Oda Nobunaga is in Kyoto, she is a decoration. Yoshigan is in Kyoto, and she is even more a decoration.
Stimulated beyond measure by reality, Ashikaga Yoshiaki's heart surged with pride and ambition.
She wants to follow the example of her ancestor Ashikaga Takauji and go to the Western Kingdom to seek support. One day she will lead an army back to Kyoto and become a veritable Ashikaga shogun.
Yoshihiro didn't know that his acting as Lilu's Nanban general agent had stimulated Ashikaga Yoshiaki's nerves and helped Akechi Mitsuhide complete the final step of expelling Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
