Changjue suddenly stood up from the futon and looked at Yiyin in shock.
Yiyin ignored her and kept talking to himself.
"Alas, although all the masters of Xingfukuji Temple were slaughtered by the Zahe people, fortunately I arrived in time and kept the temple intact.
It is better for me to send an envoy to Hanoi to ask for the general's orders and ask the Tendai Sect of Enryaku Temple to send its leader, so as not to interrupt our Buddhist lineage."
After saying that, his smile became even worse.
Master Changjue pointed at him, trembling all over.
This Sibo Yiyin is too vicious! It would be better to kill people, destroy the temple, and burn it to the ground.
The Shingon sect's headquarters is located on Mount Koya, and the Tendai sect's headquarters is located on Mount Hiei. They are the two main branches of Buddhism in recent times, and Enryaku-ji Temple is located on Mount Hiei.
Colleagues are enemies, let alone equally matched peers.
Yoshigan's move was to give the Yamato Kofukuji Temple, which the Shingon Sect had worked so hard to win, to the Tendai Sect. His intentions were to be punished!
Religion has always been a matter of life and death. Paganism also has the concept of reform, and heretics of the same religion are the most hateful.
We are all Buddhists. Believe me or you, what matters is not only the doctrine, but also the methods, which are no less dirty and insidious than politics.
Yiyin's intervention in the religious dispute really angered Master Changjue.
"Shiba is so majestic! Why don't you take action now?"
When it comes to religious matters, it is a martyrdom to observe the festival, and there is no room for maneuver.
Yiyin's irritation to Changkyu is just the beginning, Nizi Shengjiu is also preparing for a back-up plan.
"This time, the people of Kii have participated in the disputes between the samurai family in recent wars, and there has been no peace in the southwest of Japan in recent years.
Mount Koya is located near the intersection of Izumi, Kii, Kawachi, and Yamato Shikoku. It can also be considered a pure land, which is enviable."
She stayed silent for a long time. She no longer wanted to say anything to Sibo Yiyin. If you want to kill or behead him, please do as you wish.
Yiyin said it himself.
"Nerai is a nun warrior of the new sect of Shingon sect in Wakayama Nerai Temple, and Zaga is a fanatical follower of the Ichijo sect.
It is said that both families are fighting for the Sanhao family. I don’t know what kind of benefits were promised to them, but they worked so hard."
It is common for people in Kii country to work as mercenaries, but religious matters are always sensitive, and Koyasan is close to these two families.
Nowadays, two sects that are at odds with the Koyasan Shingon Sect are working hard to increase their strength, which makes Nagakaku really murmur in his heart.
Yiyin's words touched her heart, and she couldn't help but speak.
"Shiba Gozen, what exactly do you want to say?"
Yiyin smiled in his heart, there was something going on. He gave the last push and used it.
"I'm just worried about the Shingon sect. The Samurai Buddhism has always been unrelated to the two, and Yamato is an independent Buddhist kingdom on earth.
But now the Mihaoshi family has broken this tacit understanding, and the new factions of the Yixiang Sect and the Shingon Sect have sent troops to share the pie.
I am really worried and want to ask the general to persuade the Wu family, a nun from the Tiantai Sect, to go south to take care of the turbulent southwestern China.
After all, Mount Hiei-enryakuji Temple has a close relationship with the shogunate."
After saying the last sentence, Yiyin raised his eyes and looked at Changjue, seeing that her face was stern, her eyes were deep, and she was deep in thought.
After a while, Changjue sighed and said.
"There is no need to beat around the bush anymore. If you need anything from the Shingon Sect, please just give me your instructions.
Nagakaku will definitely give his full support to the emperor to bring order to things and bring peace to the country of Yamato."
Nagakaku no longer mentioned Kofukuji Temple, but used Shingon sect as the starting point of his speech. Yoshigan and the nun who was sitting next to him, Katsuhisa, looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the matter was done.
Nizi Katsuhisa is indeed a master of conspiracy. Three foreshadowings made Nagakaku flustered, and he finally made up his mind to side with the shogunate.
First, the Tendai Sect was used instead of the Shingon Sect to take over Kofukuji Temple, which angered Nagakaku.
Furthermore, the strength of two heretics near the main mountain of Koyasan Shingon Sect had increased significantly, which aroused her alarm.
Finally, it was mentioned that after the Sanhao family broke the tacit understanding of Wu family Buddhism, it would be difficult for the religion to maintain its aloof status.
The shogunate will not let the Miyoshi family take advantage of religious territory to attack Kyoto again.
Either the Shingon Sect can help, or the Tendai Sect, which is closer to the shogunate, can take over Yamato.
In this way, Changjue has no choice at all. The battle between religions is about believers and beliefs.
But the material foundation determines the superstructure. Without land and population, how to feed the nuns, how to feed the believers, and how to carry forward the sect.
If Tiantai Zongjin Yamato was just Shiba Yoshigan's personal rebellious behavior, she could have strengthened herself and gained a reputation as a martyr.
But if this is the general trend and religion can no longer be independent from the Wu family's battles, her death will be in vain.
At this time, she needs to stay alive to occupy Kofukuji Temple for the sect and be alert to the intervention of her colleagues.
So not only did she not dare to die, she also needed to assist Shiba Yoshigan to maintain the Shingon Sect's religious status in Yamato and prevent the Tendai Sect from having an excuse to intervene.
After Changjue gave in, Yiyin stopped being aggressive and said with a smile.
"The Master of the Law is wise, and Yiyin does have a merciless request. The army is out and supplies are scarce, so I would like to ask the Master of the Law to provide some support."
This is not too much to ask for. Things that money can solve are not a problem for nuns.
The temple has less but more money. The believers can raise donations, make loan sharks, and don't have to pay taxes to the Wu family. How much can it cost to raise a few nuns?
Over the years, the nuns have been raised to be shiny and fat. Now if you spend some money and food, you will naturally feel generous.
"This matter is within my scope. The army in front of the emperor is trying to bring order to the chaos and to drive out the evil party for Yamato. It is our responsibility to provide the money and food."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"I want money and food, a bag of clothing, a spear, a knife, a bow and arrows, an iron cannon, a war horse, and some nuns."
It's so greedy to sleep for a long time.
"Osama, other than that, there are not many nuns left in the temple. They have all been recruited by Tsutsui Shunkei to defend the Miyoshi army at Tsutsui Castle."
Yiyin had already known this outcome, and just made the next request for convenience.
"So, I want Koriyama Castle."
Master Changjue looked at him intently and felt that it was too difficult to deal with this man. The various methods were endless and tiring.
"Koriyama Castle...this..."
Koriyama Castle is a fortified castle in the northern part of Yamato. Overtly, it is said to be on guard against the invasion of the shogunate of Yamajo Kingdom, but secretly, it is guarded against the rebellion of the traditional samurai family in the north.
The city is located on a steep mountain and has a moderate geographical location. Junshan City can control the land of traditional martial arts in the north.
This is probably Yoshihiro Shiba asking for reward for expelling the Miyoshi family for Yamato.
Master Changjue thought.
Yiyin didn't think much about it. This suggestion was made by Nizi Katsuhisa.
There is no reason for the Wu family to send out troops and return empty-handed. Sending troops will consume materials and kill and injure Ji warriors. If the rewards after the war are not divided enough, the Wu family will inevitably be dissatisfied and cause turmoil.
Therefore, Yoshigan can send troops to fight for the shogunate, but he must also make plans for his subordinates. It is reasonable to accept the benefits of sending troops to Yamato, and no one can make a mistake.
Master Changjue actually doesn't care much about this.
After the Tsutsui family took control of the Yamato Kingdom, the power of Kofukuji Temple had been narrowed. At this time, I heard Yoshigan's request, but my heart was moved.
This time, the Miyoshi army divided its forces and headed north, while Tsutsui Shunkei defended Tsutsui Castle. There was something strange about everything, which made Master Nagakaku wary.
If Junkei Tsutsui really wants to kill someone with a knife, then introducing the power of the Shiba family to check and balance may not be a bad thing.
"Okay, I will write a decree to leave Koriyama Castle and send it to the Shiba family. The military situation in the city will also be under the command of the Imperial Palace."
Changjue's straightforward answer made Yiyin a little worried. Did he miss something?
However, there was no room for hesitation at this time, Yiyin nodded.
"Then thank you Dharma Master for your generosity.
I have one more request, I hope that the Dharma Master will not issue a decree to urge Tsutsui Junkei to go out to fight the Shihe Ichin army, lest it be defeated by a single blow."
This was Yoshigan's last request. Both he and Katsuhisa Nizi were worried that the Master was afraid of death and forced Tsutsui Junkei to fight.
Almost all the military forces of the nun samurai family in Yamato have been concentrated near Tsutsui Castle. Once they are defeated by the Miyoshi army, Yoshigan will have to fight alone.
Master Changjue smiled bitterly.
"You're too late. Since the Miyoshi family went north, I issued seven decrees asking Tsutsui Junkei to fight, but she didn't respond. I even suspected that Shiban was robbed and killed by the Miyoshi family."
The bitter self-mockery on Changjue's face made Yiyin take a breath of air.
Could it be that Tsutsui Junkei took advantage of Miyoshi's invasion to become evil? This pot of porridge in Yamato is really thick.
