Jue Qing watched Yin Rong leave quickly in surprise. Looking back, he saw Chang Jue reciting the scriptures dumbly, not knowing why.
She didn't understand what Yin Rong meant, but she felt desolate in her heart. She asked herself that she had no selfish intentions, but she couldn't get support from Treasure House.
Treasure Hall is the duty of the nuns in the temple and is supported by force. Now that she is giving up martial arts and chanting sutras, Yinrong is trying to persuade her to give up.
She glanced at Jue Qing and forced a smile.
"It's getting late, so you should go back and rest early."
Without the participation of Hoho-in, even if she gets the support of Ichijo-in Kakuei, who has a sect, she is still young and lacks prestige, but she can't influence the attitude of the nuns in the temple, so what's the point of talking about it?
Today Xiaohui's intention was seen through and destroyed by Yinrong. Chang felt bitter in his mouth and didn't know what to do.
Yinrong walked quickly back to Treasure Courtyard and ordered the disciples in the courtyard to throw away all their weapons and destroy them. From today on, Treasure Courtyard only worships Buddha and does not practice martial arts.
The disciples did not understand the change of the master, but they did not dare to be disobedient. From then on, the treasure house closed its doors to thank guests and quietly practiced Buddhism.
Yin Rong knew in his heart that even if all the nuns in the treasure courtyard were one to ten, they would not be able to stop Tsutsui Shunkei who had murderous intentions.
Then why practice martial arts? Just practice Buddhism with peace of mind! Don't provoke that nun, that's the only way to survive.
She bet that Kofukuji Temple would be left alone. Would Tsutsui Shunkei really dare to destroy the Buddhist temple and make him an enemy of the Buddha?
What she wants is worldly power, and Kofukuji can’t defeat her, so don’t try to stir up her murderous intent!
———
Not far from Yamato Kofukuji Temple, in the tea room of Shiba Mansion in Kyoto, three people were laughing happily.
Matsunagahide and Tsutsui Junkei both have extraordinary tea skills and they learn from each other. Akechi Mitsuhide is a witty person who makes the atmosphere fun to participate in.
The three of them were all in a good mood. Taking advantage of the warm winter sunshine, they had a great time complimenting each other while holding tea soup.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Tsutsui Junkei with a smile and said.
"It is said that the Yue Zhi family disrespected the Buddha and were attacked by an angry Nepalese army. Not a single tile was left behind?"
Tsutsui Junkei was in a happy mood, but he pretended to be sad on his face.
"The Yue Zhi family did not respect the patriarchal lineage, so the Buddha statues were covered in dust, and many of the Buddhist scriptures they guarded were damaged, and were damaged by rats and ants.
The nuns and warriors have been nourished and cared for by the Buddhists throughout their lives, and they are very grateful. Their minds are not as calm as those of the nuns at Kofuku Temple, and they are most disgusted with such evil villains who blaspheme our Buddha.
By the time the incident broke out, it was already too late for me to rush to coordinate. The Yuezhi family clung to their residence and could not survive even a day. The houses were burned and destroyed, and everyone was slaughtered. It was a terrible tragedy.
I lament that the Ochi family was exterminated and the Yamato Genji family was extinct. I feel very sad."
Tsutsui Junkei said he was sympathetic, but Akechi Mitsuhide was scornful.
Because you couldn't stand the evil deeds of the Yuezhi family, you burned all the Buddhist statues and scriptures in the Juguan? You are so pious.
The Nakatō group had already received news that the Ochi family was quickly exterminated this time. It was Tsutsui Junkei who used his mediation as an excuse to trick the city gates into opening, which led to the overthrow of the Ochi residence overnight.
Now that I appreciate her superb acting skills, Akechi Mitsuhide smiles even more. I hope she will continue to work hard and fall deeper and deeper.
Akechi Mitsuhide is very interested in Ichijoin Kakukei of Kofukuji Temple, but it is not easy to get her out. The host is a member of the Ichijoin sect. If there is a slight mistake, the Shingon sect will really go crazy.
These large sects that are still standing have top-notch backgrounds and strengths. They are unwilling to compete with the world, but it does not mean that they have no strength to resist when they are forced.
Tsutsui Junkei's attack on Kofukuji Nagakaku is the result of Mitsuhide Akechi's acquiescence. As long as he leads her into a trap slowly, she will have no choice but to help him in the future.
Either he was working for Mitsuhide Akechi, or Mitsuhide Akechi used Yoshihide Shiba's orders as an excuse to interfere in the affairs of Yamato.
The Yamato nun samurai group was so frightened by Shiba Yoshigan's performance in the Battle of Yamato that they would never dare to confront the Shiba family head-on.
Akechi Mitsuhide is very confident. What he needs to do now is to sink Tsutsui Junkei a little deeper.
Tsutsui Junkei and Akechi Mitsuhide had a great conversation, but they also sneered in their hearts.
She was humiliated by Akechi Mitsuhide and was forced to investigate the origin of Kakuqing. Although she did not understand what Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to do, her heart was open to the face behind this smiling tiger.
But she was also gambling.
Yoshigan Shiba has been away in Kanto for a year, and he doesn’t know when he will come back. If he doesn’t take advantage of this period to completely overwhelm Kofukuji Nagakaku, what will Yoshigan Shiba do when he comes back?
That person who is humble, righteous, and loyal, and who promises thousands of dollars, is not like a villain like Wise Guangxiu, who can be bribed and won over.
As long as Nagakaku asked him for help, Tsutsui Junkei had to put away his minions and be a good grandson. The Yamato nuns and samurai family would never dare to confront the Ashikaga military god.
Therefore, no matter what evil intentions Akechi Mitsuhide had, Tsutsui Junkei had no choice. She could only speed up the integration of Yamato and seize the time to complete her layout.
As long as Kofukuji Temple surrenders, the overall situation has been decided, and there is nothing that Shiba Yoshigan can do if he comes back. If Nagasaki doesn't ask for help, can he still insist on going south to meddle in other people's affairs?
Both parties were smiling like flowers, but each had their own calculations in their minds, and they were both trying to make the other party suffer while they were stuck in time.
On the side, Matsunaga Hide saw the two tea friends laughing and talking about romance, and he also smiled and nodded.
Although she didn't know the hidden information in the two people's words, she knew that neither of them were good things. Can a good thing play with her, Matsunaga Hisashi? It was nothing more than mutual use.
Mitsuhide Akechi is the diplomatic agent of the Shiba family. He is responsible for liaising with various parties in the near future and has the power of foreign negotiation and declaration of war for the Shiba family.
This power is really not small.
In addition, she was generous, and her territory took in many descendants of famous families whose families had declined, and cheered for them.
In Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide is now considered a famous figure. Even the general often summons her to communicate with her on government affairs.
Tsutsui Junkei befriended her because he wanted to use her to fulfill his ambition to unify Yamato and central and southern China.
As for Matsunaga, Mitsuhide Akechi deliberately recruited him.
Matsunagahide was the direct minister of Miyoshi Chokei and the lord of Yamashiro Kuniyo Castle. He stood at the forefront of the battle between the Miyoshi family and the forces of the shogunate.
This person is knowledgeable and well-to-do in Kyoto, and the general has a good sense for her.
Within the Miyoshi family, Matsunaga Hide even had both sides.
On the one hand, she is on good terms with Miyoshi and the other three, and on the other hand, she is a direct minister of Miyoshi Nagakei. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu also has a good impression of her, and is a loyal retainer who fulfills his duties.
No one thought that Matsunaga Hide was the mastermind behind the chaos within the Miyoshi family, and that all of this had something to do with Yoshihiro Shiba.
In recent battles, Miyoshi Chokei sent Tokawa Ichibun to conquer Yamato and make a surprise attack on the rear of the shogunate. Miyoshi Yoshihiro and Matsunagahide accompanied him to fight.
Matsunagahide was sent to the Izumi Kingdom by Tokawa Ichitumi to assist Anzai Fuyayasu in dealing with the Izumi Hosokawa family. Unexpectedly, the Battle of Yamato was unfavorable, and the Shiba Yoshiyin Formation killed Tokawa Icsun and Miyoshi Yoshiki.
Miyoshi Changqing was heartbroken. The sister and daughter he sent out died, but Matsunaga Hide was still alive and kicking.
