Chapter 2175 Sooner or later you have to deal with it
I heard a lot about the mountain city and lived in the museum.
In the courtyard, Yoshigan was walking around admiring the scenery while chatting and laughing with Nagakaku the Master who had come from Mount Koya.
"The four Yamato families, Tsutsui, Ochi, Aishio, and Shishi, all came from Kofuku Temple official Fu followers and managed the nuns for the temple.
The Tsutsui family rose up, defeated Ochi, and annexed ten cities. From then on, the family became the dominant family, which in turn suppressed Kofukuji Temple. This is called a slave who bullies his master."
Master Changjue put his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said with compassion on his face.
"It's all caused by the old nun's poor management. If it hadn't been for the saint's protection over the years, Kofukuji Temple would have been forced by Tsutsui Junkei and reduced to a subsidiary."
Giving Peking University and Yiyin in exchange for the protection of the Shiba family was the most successful political investment in Master Changkyuu's life, and it was also her greatest capital to secure her position as Master of the Shingon Sect.
In the early years, the Shiba family was not strong, and Tsutsui Junkei even thought about using small tricks to destroy Kofukuji Temple. Although Nagakaku Master was profound in Buddhism, he could not bear to think about it every time he thought about it.
But over the years, Tsutsui Junkei had been careful not to let Nagakaku Master get the handle, so that was all he could do.
But recently, Tsutsui Junkei seemed to be seeking death again, which finally gave Nagakaku Master, who had been watching her for many years, a chance.
Yiyin nodded and said.
"The world is in chaos, there is no order of dignity, and many things are bad because there are no rules.
I heard that Tsutsui Castle has been secretly mobilizing troops recently, is this possible?"
Changjue Master looked sad and bowed.
"This is indeed the case.
At the beginning of the year, Ichijo Hideyoshi sent someone to lure Tsutsui Junkei, with the intention of getting her to cooperate and respond to the Ichijo family's rebellion. After the war, he was rewarded with Yamato Buddhism.
Tsutsui Junkei was so stupid that he actually secretly mobilized a legion when they were marching to Luo, and ignored the saint's kindness and mercy over the years. He is really doing his own deeds."
Yiyin looked at the sad and angry Changjue and asked calmly.
"Since the Master has already received the news, why didn't you inform the Sibo family earlier?"
Master Changjue shook his head.
"There is a cloud in the sky, and the prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold when he comes back."
I see Tsutsui Junkei has restrained himself a lot over the years, and I always thought that if I gave her a chance, maybe she would wake up and not be so confused.
But I don’t want to...”
Yiyin curled his lips.
Kofukuji Temple has ruled the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom for so many years, so the source of information is naturally all-pervasive. Nagakaku Shonin is also staring at Tsutsui Junkei, so of course he can clearly see every move of Tsutsui Castle.
But if Nagakaku-sho had sent someone to tell Yiyin about this earlier, and the Shiba family had sent someone to warn him, Tsutsui Junkei might not have dared to make a mistake, and Nagakaku-shou would have been watching for nothing all these years.
It was only when Tsutsui Junkei actually moved and the blame was placed on his shoulders that Master Nagakaku hurried to Tawen Mountain Castle.
She personally came to tell Yiyin about this matter, just to nail Tsutsui Shunkei's crime, so that Tsutsui Shunkei would never be able to stand up.
It's better to tell it sooner rather than later. As for whether the Shiba family will be caught off guard, the Shingon sect... haha...
Yiyin looked at Changjue and said deliberately.
"Since Kofukuji Temple has already prepared, I believe that Master Nagakaku has also made a complete plan. There is no need for me to intervene in the internal affairs of the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom."
After a long sleep, it was okay to find out the news from Kofukuji Temple, but if you really had the ability to deal with Tsutsui Junkei, why have you been holding back all these years?
Changjue could also hear the saint's tone. It was obviously his dissatisfaction with her for appeasing and supporting an adulterer, so he took advantage of the situation and struck a few words.
Fortunately, Changjue was already prepared and answered immediately.
"The sage has clearly learned that the imperial guards at Kofukuji Temple are not strict, which makes the sage worry. The Shingon sect is really guilty.
Before I came here, the people on Mount Koya had reached a consensus to strongly protest against Ichijo Hideyoshi's evil deeds of destroying peace and starting a civil war, and called on all Shingon believers to draw a clear line between themselves and the Ichijo family.
In addition, Shingon sect temples in various places have also raised a large amount of money, food and materials, and are willing to donate them to the saint to bring order to the chaos and to defeat a rebel.
This is a list of temples and supplies in various places, please take a look at it."
Yiyin flipped through it casually, and when he saw the final total number of supplies, which had taken him to power for many years, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he sighed.
"The Shingon Sect has really spent a lot of money on food and property worth half a million guan."
Master Changjue said solemnly.
"This is an act of justice."
Yiyin nodded. He had already given me enough benefits and was so shameless, so he couldn't be too harsh, so he said.
"Maeda's interests have already left Iga, and it's almost time for Nizi Yukimori's troops to arrive. Their troops are just north of Kofuku-ji Temple's Todai-ji Temple.
Since Tsutsui Castle can help deliver the news, it can also help open the city gate, the Master thinks this is true."
Changjue nodded hurriedly.
"The sage is right."
Yiyin stopped, looked at the sky in the distance, and said.
"Ichijo Hideyoshi has already gone to Luo. I don't want to waste too much time on Tsutsui Junkei. You are quick to solve this matter before Tsutsui Castle can react."
Changjue bowed his head and agreed repeatedly.
———
Seeing Changjue leaving quickly with uncontrollable joy, Yiyin couldn't help but want to laugh.
Nagakaku believed that he could put Tsutsui Shunkei to death this time and solve the problems he had suffered for many years.
But she also didn't want to think about it. If the armies of Maeda and Nizi Yukimori entered Tsutsui Castle, would they be able to withdraw so easily?
Even if the army wanted to go north to deal with Ichijo Hideyoshi next, Kofukuji Temple would not dare to forcefully expel the few Shiba soldiers left to defend the city.
Tsutsui Castle is located in the heart of the Nara Basin. After two generations of Tsutsui family management, it has become the core town of Yamato Buddhist Kingdom, radiating in all directions.
Before the decisive battle between Shiba Ichijo's family, Yoshigan naturally had a friendly attitude toward the Buddhist sects and tried his best to win over and tolerate him, so that Hideyoshi Ichijo could only get a bad reception from the Buddhist sects.
But after the war, it was hard to say.
With the full spread of the new Shinto religion, Shiba Shenquan has its own religious voice, and Yiyin's demand for Buddhist sects is constantly weakening.
Since ancient times, the land conflict between the Wu family leader and the temple leader has never stopped.
The Buddhist monastery adheres to the principle of neither importing nor importing, and claims to be a different kind of pure land in the island society. It has developed to the extreme, and it is the kind of Buddhist kingdom on earth that has always shaken the foundation of the samurai regime.
No ruler would like to have such a state within a state on his territory that can neither collect taxes nor enforce the law.
In particular, the temple leaders took advantage of the troubled times of the Wu family to secretly expand their territory and encroach on the Wu family's territory, which has created many new conflicts.
With the world at peace, the new Sibo theocracy will inevitably suppress the monastery leaders and make them spit out the land they have invaded over the years.
Furthermore, it is necessary to establish new temple laws, establish rules for them, limit the land rights of temples in various places, and regulate the words and deeds of various Buddhist sects.
Yiyin and Changjue have a very good relationship. They have known each other for eighteen years. They have a deep friendship and get along very happily. But how long can they live?
After the two people passed away, can Shiba Shenquan and the Shingon sect still get along so harmoniously? Will the Buddhist sects still be as honest as they were when Yoshigami was alive?
There is a cloud in the dynasty. Once the emperor and his courtiers come together, history will always turn over.
It would be irresponsible for future generations to leave these conflicts with various Buddhist sects to future generations.
Yoshigan has long been mentally prepared. As long as he kills Ichijo Hideyoshi and unifies the world, he will turn his guns to deal with the various Buddhist sects.
The Shingon sect, the Tendai sect, the Rinzai sect, and the Ichixiang sect, regardless of their close relationship, must be cleaned up and educated so that the various Buddhist sects will no longer be able to fight against the central government.
Therefore, it is too early for Master Changjue to be happy.
The demise of Tsutsui Junkei does not mean that Kofukuji Temple can be the only one in the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom. The new Shiba theocratic power has reached out, and the Shingon sect is even more uncomfortable.
