    On June 10, the sixth year of Eiroku, just when the Takeda family began to evacuate the Mikawa area, and the Tokugawa family began to quickly occupy the area that the Takeda family vacated, Masara entertained a guest in Sunfu Castle in Suruga Province.  ~ This guest is a monk, whose Buddhist name is Mingquan.  This monk is a representative of the local temples and shrines. Not long ago, Masara just met with the representatives of the Ichikou sect in the Mikawa Kingdom area. After once again learning about the situation of the local temples and shrines in Tokaido with Imagawa Uzuma, his second son Nobura Raoshi and others,  Zhengliang decided to follow the policy of his second son Luo Shixinliang in treating temples and shrines, which was to implement the ultimatum policy.  When the First Son partially implemented this method in the Yuanjiang area, it was the monk Mingquan who initially received strong support. To express his gratitude, Zhengliang also sent some coins and other gifts to him, and  Today I invite the other party to meet again to discuss the comprehensive promotion of temple laws in the Suruga and Toe areas.  After the two parties met, Zhengliang invited Master Mingquan to order tea in the tea room.  As soon as he sat down, Zhengliang said, "The master has only received 2,000 guan as a token of gratitude from me. I will give you another 4,000 guan and ask the master to cast a golden body for my Buddha. It will be enough to receive the additional 2,000 guan."  , is that possible? " "It is a great kindness that you must abide by the laws, but I am a poor monk. I would like to be taught." Monk Mingquan has a solemn appearance and a peaceful demeanor, which will naturally make people feel good.  When it was appropriate to say 'taught', even Zheng Liang was affected by him, a warm current floated through his heart, and his whole person became quiet.  Is this what Zen means?  Zheng Liang thought about it for a moment and said: "Master's cultivation is improving day by day, and Zheng Liang admires him." "Your Excellency, you are exaggerating." He finished his courtesy.  The political conscience is restrained.  His face was stern.  Monk Mingquan also listened attentively.  Then words will be a big deal.  "Master, I want to imitate the Ming Dynasty in issuing ultimatums to the monks in my territory and clarify the temples. Do you think it can be implemented?" After Zhengliang finished speaking, he looked directly into Mingquan's eyes.  If such a major event is leaked, there will be a crowd of people in the community.  Monk Mingquan is an eminent monk and an important representative of the local temple and shrine. He disagrees and it is difficult to implement it.  Sure enough, after listening to Zheng Liang¡¯s words.  Monk Mingquan didn't answer for a while, as if he had fallen into silence.  If his chest wasn't still heaving, Zhengliang would have thought he had passed away.  The tea room was as quiet as night.  "I admire you!" A few moments later, Monk Mingquan finally broke the silence, "What you have to do is unprecedented in the Warring States Period. There are great opportunities and great risks. The poor monk has received the kindness of the master and fought hard for nine lives.  I must also help you to clear the way." "Master!" Zheng Liang stood up from his seat in surprise, "With Master's support, great things can be done!" With Monk Mingquan's cultivation, his status in Buddhism must be high.  With his help stabilizing the power of Buddhism, it will be much smoother to clean up the shrine first.  "It's better to wait for big matters than to rush them. Your Excellency, please have a draft of the regulations." "There are some." Zheng Liang pointed out the steps and life springs that he had thought of before.  Be steady on one side and rational on the other.  In the name of replacing land security blocks, the boundaries of the shrine were clearly defined and ultimatums were issued.  If you go with it, you will be rewarded, if you go against it, you will be expelled.  After completion, the control within the collar will be greatly enhanced.  ¡°Well, it¡¯s feasible, but it¡¯s better to master the details and plan.¡± After listening, Mingquan expressed his own opinions.  Zheng Liang nodded while listening, clarifying that the plan would be fully expanded in the tea room and would be implemented soon.  The two came out of the tea room with smiles on their faces, as if nothing had happened.  After saying a few words, Monk Mingquan resigned, and Masarasu returned to the castle tower.  Soon after, the first step of the temple plan was implemented.  On the 15th day of Liukoshi in the sixth year of Eiroku, invitations from the Imagawa family were sent to all directions, inviting shrine owners and temple abbots to attend a tea party in Suruga, and inviting everyone to enjoy the Chidori Incense Burner, a treasure of the Imagawa family.  Chinese porcelain was regarded as a sacred object during the Warring States Period when culture was lacking.  Tebian is produced by the government and is usually called daimyo.  The meaning is that non-powerful daimyo cannot enjoy it.  The Chidori Incense Burner is a famous product among famous products.  "Being able to appreciate such famous products with your own eyes, you will have no regrets." Many club owners and hosts gathered in Suruga with the same expectations.  It's just that only twenty invitations to the Imagawa family were sent out, and those who didn't get the invitation tried their best to get one.  The castle town of Sunfu was suddenly bustling again, and somewhat regained its atmosphere.  "Those abbots and priests gathered in Suruga, and their business has improved a lot." The tailor businessman happily said to his neighbor: "There are half as many custom-made dresses and new clothes as usual." The neighbor sells gold and silver jewelry, and his business is  It was much better than usual, and he replied: "The club owner and host are both celebrities, and they don't want to be compared with others in the grand event. Naturally, the cost of appearance will be more than usual." "The king can bring out the Chidori Incense Burner to carry out the event  The tea party is much better than that of the previous emperor. It¡¯s a pity that we don¡¯t have a chance to see it. Even if it takes a lifetime, it¡¯s worth it.¡±??Only businesses like that have a chance.  " The common people have their own fun. All the elegant people in Toe and Suruga were aroused by Masara's tea party. Onlookers are fascinated, but the authorities are clear. Is the Imagawa family's tea party so simple?  "I'm not a person in the game, so I don't know what the key is. "I'm afraid Imagawa has a deeper meaning in holding a tea party, right?  "The invited practitioners have this feeling. "The day before yesterday, we asked Xin Dian to introduce him, and the tea party may have been the reason.  Genshiro Hachiman, a fellow practitioner of Tokai Shrine, said, "The Imagawa family's request is affirmative. It is nothing more than to appease the people and pray for blessings. I will just wait and pay respect."  I would like to take this opportunity to ask Imagawa to recognize our status so that we can rely on his luck.  Then you all travel around the mountains and rivers.  He practiced with great concentration, just as he did when Duke Yiyuan was in power.  When the Imagawa family's true luck is exhausted, we will change the family and join another master.  " "It's just that I'm afraid that the Imagawa clan is not as easy to get along with as Mr. Yimoto, and he is unwilling to admit our status for nothing.  How to cope then.  " said a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties. He is the owner of Tenjin Shrine. "Don't be afraid!  As long as we unite as one, Buddhism must have the same idea as us.  "Hachiman Genshiro said. In another annex in Sunfu Castle Town, Honjoji Mingxin respectfully said to Monk Meizumi: "Master Imagawa clan, build the temple.  Tree gold god.  Respect my Buddha.  The poor monks and others will support Lord Imagawa's decision.  " "Ami Buddha.  Zen Master Mingxin Gaoyi.  Some gifts are disrespectful, please accept them.  "Monk Mingquan clapped his hands, and the young novice monk presented twenty gold medals to each host. Benzheng Temple's Mingxin share was specially packed in a black lacquer painted bird and bamboo incense box. "The avenue of cause and effect is profound and mysterious. If you do it today, you will have consequences tomorrow.  Good or bad retribution can all happen in a single thought. After the meeting with the guests, Monk Mingquan was walking back to the city and thought to the Patriarch: "Today I finally understand what it means to cultivate higher.  The more awe-struck.  " This tea party held by Masara in the name of Imagawa clan really made Sunfu Castle lively. Under the castle walls, many local monks gathered and hosted the shrine owner. A large number of civilians from the surrounding areas gathered here to attract attention.  "It only took a few months for the Imagawa family to regain its vitality, and its methods and ambition should not be underestimated.  "The practitioners who were invited to Junfu all have this sentiment in their hearts. "The more Imagawa's true energy and luck are, the better it will be for us.  "Genshiro Hachiman saw from the window the disciples who were giving alms and praying to the common people, smiling with satisfaction, and said to the people around him. "Can you all get ready? Please don't lose etiquette when you go to the city to have an audience at noon.  " "Hachiman Palace Secretary.  We are fully prepared and we will not lose to those bald thieves.  "Everyone is wearing grand hunting clothes. The entanglement between Shintoism and Buddhism begins with lying down. Monk Jianzhen traveled eastward to Japan and brought with him the profound Chinese Buddhist culture. He has complete theological theories and profound philosophical scriptures  The concept of cultivating the afterlife was welcomed by the rulers and quickly replaced Shintoism as the largest religion in Fuso. The rituals and doctrines of Shintoism were also completed under the pressure of Buddhism, and each had its own rise and fall in confrontation with Buddhism.  , but generally at a disadvantage. Genshiro Hachiman felt that this was an opportunity for the power of the shrine to rise again in the East China Sea. The power of Buddhism in the Three Kingdoms of Tokaido was natural, and it was natural to support the shrine and weaken the temple. Just after noon, the Imagawa family envoy invited the owner to the city.  Hachiman Genshiro and others met Imagawa Shima in the Ninomaru annex. The annex was built by Imagawa Yoshimoto. It has the artistic conception of changing the seasons in one courtyard, which is perfect for drinking tea and enjoying the scenery.  The courtyard is also called the tea garden, and a straw shed was set up. Imagawa Shizhen, Mingxin and other monks were already seated, waiting for everyone at the shrine to arrive. "We are waiting to see Mr. Imagawa."  "After all the shrine owners saluted, they sat down one by one in the middle. The uppermost seat on the side of the shrine was already occupied. Genshiro Hachiman recognized him as the chief priest of Asama Shrine: Tomigaoka Asama. He cursed secretly and said, "Sit down."  Asama Tomigaoka ignored Hachiman Genshiro. His status had been different for a long time, and there was no need to pay attention to the people in the tea party, including Imagawa clan and Mingquan.  Everyone was here, and Imakawa Shizhen said, "I am deeply honored that all the masters and club owners can be invited to come. I will bear in mind your contribution to the Imagawa family.  I take this opportunity of the New Year to invite you all to express my gratitude.  "After studying with Masara for several years, and returning to the East China Sea area to train for such a long time, the Imagawa family finally became a qualified family governor from a minor surname around Masara. "Imagawa-sama, you are polite, Imagawa  My family has taken good care of Buddhism, and all the Buddhist disciples in Donghai should be grateful to you.  "Honzhengji Mingxin said. "Our mood?Like Lord Akiko, I am grateful to the Imagawa family.  " Genshiro Hachiman said. "I really feel your thoughts.  Holding a tea party is also a way to get closer to you.  Please continue to support the Imagawa family's rule.  " "It's natural, it should be.  " " Bang!  "The bamboo tube filled with water was placed on the rocks, making a crisp sound. The scenery in the courtyard was impressive. Because of the season, the trees and grass in the courtyard have sprouted tender new shoots, coupled with the warm sunshine and the sound of water flowing.  , showing the vitality. It is like the rising momentum of the Imagawa family. All the guests here must appreciate the owner's intention in decorating the tea house. This is an important part of the tea party. The Imagawa family is really inviting.  Everyone entered the room and sat down, and the "first seat" in the tea party began. After sitting down, Monk Mingquan said: "First Carbon, I will join you all.  "After that, he sat down by the hearth, added cherry wood charcoal, flicked it twice with a fire hook, and sat back down. The purpose of the tea party is to talk about what's on your mind. Everyone has a deep understanding of religion, and they are all human beings, and they know Imagawa  Imagawa really had something to say, so everyone looked at Imagawa Shizhen and waited for him to speak. The time was enough, and Imagawa Shizhen threw out the bait: "Everyone, I heard that some hosts or club owners are worried after I succeeded my father, Lord Yoshimoto.  I will change the temple policy of my father, Lord Yi Yuan.  Please rest assured on this point, I will still implement the policies that my father set before him, and even give him more preferential treatment.  " "This family will issue certificates of ultimatum to all masters and community leaders as proof of eminent monks and monks.  Those who hold the ultimatum enjoy the courtesy of dismounting in front of the palace and the family's annual contribution.  " "Amikawa Buddha, Imagawa-sama is so righteous. The poor monks and everyone would like to thank you.  "Mingxin bowed in unison, and the other side of the shrine also bowed. Imagawa Shima returned the bow, "But when I was sorting out the land inspection documents left by my father, I also saw your land.  This year, our family will also inspect the land and replace my father's security system with my own. Please cooperate with us during the inspection.  ¡± Those who have no ghosts in their hearts immediately agree that those who take advantage of the chaos to occupy the land should also come down and make plans after going back. The practitioners sitting here are even more surprised. The issuance of an ultimatum is equivalent to a pardon, and the luck they share is different.  I bowed down with great joy. Everyone felt that the matter was settled, and the atmosphere in the tea room became more relaxed. The Chidori incense burner was placed in the corner of the room, and everyone asked to watch it.  Elegant people are amazed: the incense burner is a rare item that you may never see in your lifetime. The celadon glaze and the undulating body of the incense burner create a water-like visual effect. The red bird on the cover is the finishing touch.  The overall nobility is improved, but it does not make people feel luxurious. ¡°Only adults can use the Chidori Incense Burner.  "Mingxin sighed. "It is natural for a famous person to enjoy famous things.  " Genshiro Hachiman followed. "Imagawa Shima laughed, "I accept the kindness of the seat. It's not early, so let's serve tea and food."  "'Papa' clapped his hands twice, and the door was opened. More than twenty waiters carried the delicacies, lined up and placed them in front of the guests. First, the staple food was sashimi, miso soup, and rice. After that, the non-staple food was served.  , cooking and baking. After finishing the tea and food, the guests go to the tea court to rest, which is "neutral". Then they enter the tea room again, which is the main part of the tea party. In a serious atmosphere,  The host ordered strong tea for the guests, then added charcoal (back charcoal) and then ordered thin tea. Everyone sat around and kept silent. The atmosphere was serious but there was no sense of urgency. The practitioners thought that they had achieved their goal.  The tea utensils around the hearth had already slowed down when everyone was in "neutral". The arrangement was a bit heavy. Imagawa really knew that he was just starting out in the tea ceremony and it was difficult for him to get into the elegant hall. Fortunately, the helpers that his lord Masaira had arranged before were already there.  Take your place. "The poor monk will come and order some tea.  "Mingquan monk said, walked to the central stove, placed an octagonal cauldron on the stove, and added some water. The eyes of the guests were attracted by the tea cauldron. Those who were well-educated even stared at it. "That one  Is it the legendary octagonal cauldron?  ¡± ¡°It tends towards heavy tones and has a solemn feeling, just like when a samurai receives an order, ¡®Ha!  ¡¯ Just as serious.  But the rosary-like decoration on the tea lid leads to seriousness and meditation, and seriousness carries the meaning of silence.  " "The matching of tea sets also tends to be serious and empty, which is not in line with the heroic and gorgeous temperament of the Imagawa clan.  But if it was Master Mingquan who came to order some tea, I thought it would be perfect.  " "Does the Zen-like style have any deeper meaning?  " At the end of the tea party, Imagawa Shizhen gave each person another fifty kusen as a gift. Everyone accepted it happily and then left one by one. At the same time, Masarasu was at the castle gate.Looking at the people from the temples and shrines leaving one by one, they said to themselves: "The bait is fragrant, but the benefits may not necessarily fall on you. There is also the Xiang Zong, which is slowly eating away at you."  "(Thank you for the monthly ticket support of "Bai Shi Jing Lun"; I finally called, and I quickly uploaded a chapter.
