    Ashikaga Yoshit身 got up and left in anger, and the court meeting naturally broke up. After the court meeting, Kira Mansomaru was stopped by the maid. It turned out that Ashikaga Yoshit身 was looking for him. He followed the maid's small steps and slowly walked around half of the pool.  , Kira Manshomaru secretly said: "Are you trying to appease me?" After entering the Imperial Palace, he saw Ashikaga Yoshit身 sternly holding Hosokawa Harumoto in his hand and scolding him: "That bastard Hosokawa Harumoto dared to speak in front of the shogunate officials.  It's unreasonable to expose your scars! The Hosokawa family can't even manage their own family, so why do they have the shame to say that others are not?  "Angry!" "Hmph! You don't know what kind of person Hosokawa Harumoto is! I have been fed up with his capriciousness since he was a child. In his early years, he supported Ashikaga Yoshivi as a general and treated his father like nothing!  A man without a king deserves to be defeated by Miyoshi Nagakei!" Ashikaga Yoshit身 was obviously so angry that he even said such nonsense. Little did he know that he himself was involved in this sentence and the shogunate had no control over it!  His protection is not as good as that of a moulted phoenix, or at most a moulted quail.  Kira Manshomaru started to silence Dafa. Your general said, I listened and talked until I got tired, so I tried to persuade you a few more words. Then you continued to speak and I continued to listen. It is too easy to be a good person afterwards.  After Naomi Ashikaga Yoshit身 finished his fifth glass of water, the sun turned to the west. Seeing that there was no hope of returning to Sakamoto today, Ashikaga Yoshit身 finally changed the topic to the whole story: "Don't worry, Saburo! Yuzai will definitely seek justice for you.  "When you said this, you must have said it subconsciously, or you haven't sobered up yet." Kira Mansomaru bowed his head, actually trying to hide his pout.  "So I will work hard to defeat Sanzhu, and I will let you take the position of leader!" Kira Manshomaru continued to lower his head and pouted: "It's just empty talk again, I haven't woken up yet!" "As long as  Take back Kyoto for the shogunate, and Kitanomi will give it to you!" Kira Manshomaru's eyes lit up, and he said respectfully: "I don't dare to ask for the title of Shiga County!  Too few counties! "I haven't sobered up yet.  "One county is enough!" "At least two counties! How about Ritai County?" "Uh! That's the territory of the Rokkaku Family Tree Daiyamaoka family, right?" Kira Manshomaru said with a bitter face, "Don't mess with me.  Trouble, Ritai County is the core area of ??the Rokkaku family. If I want it, won＊t I be asking for trouble?§ ※Huh?§ Ashikaga Yoshito seemed to realize that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: ※Then Takashima County!  " "Takashima Nanato is a member of the Rokkaku family!" Kira Manshomaru reminded him kindly.  "It doesn't matter! Are you not a member of our family? Are you a retainer of our family? Takashima Nanato is not a retainer of our family? That's it!" Ashikaga Yoshito waved his hand and sent him away. Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask for a share.  The imperial teaching book cannot be used now, but it can be used as a memorandum in the future. It is indeed worth fighting to capture Kyoto and give it to the two counties.  In the next few days, Kira Mansomaru took Katsuhime and Aju to visit his uncle Nakain's house, and stayed at Toji Temple for a few days. Speaking of how he came and went in a hurry last time, he didn't visit Toji Temple carefully, so now he's here again.  Only then did I realize that Toji Temple is indeed extraordinary. Built in the early Heian period, Toji Temple is also known as Jiaou Gokokuji Temple. It is the main esoteric sect built by Kobo Daishi Kukai in response to the order of Emperor Saga.  The status of Kobo Daishi Kukai is equivalent to that of Saicho, the Zen master who founded Enryaku Temple on Mount Hiei. One is the founder of Esoteric Buddhism, and the other is the founder of Tendai Buddhism. The two lived in the same era, and they were also outstanding figures for a while.  Today, the status of the elders of Toji Temple is not inferior to that of the head of the Tendai Sect. During the Heian period, what was taught by Toji Temple was called "Eastern Secret", and what was taught by Enryakuji Temple was called "Taiwan Secret".  The positions are evenly matched.  The Jodo Shinshu, Rinzai, Soto, and Lotus sects taught by the Tendai sect are very prosperous. For example, the most widely spread sects of the Rinzai sect, Nichiren sect, and Ichixiang sect are all derived from the Tendai sect, and the Toji sect spread by the esoteric sect  The lines of Sanuki Zentsuji, Koyasan Kongobuji, and Neraiji are also very strong, and their roots are near Kinki and Nankaido. In addition to Kyoto, there are Shikoku, Kii and other places that are also very difficult to mess with.  Of course, the two factions were not in harmony. For example, Toji Temple once competed with Koyasan for the status of Mount Suimoto. Because Emperor Saga established the status of the "fundamental dojo of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism", Toji Temple continued to control the status of Mount Suimoto until the middle of the Heian period.  It was not until Fujiwara Michichiro climbed Mount Koya to revive Kongobuji Temple. Since then, the royal family and ministers began to visit frequently and provide financial support, which led to the revival of Mount Koya.  The scale of Toji Temple is not large. Because it is located in the center of Kyoto, its rise and fall has always been related to the rise and fall of the imperial shogunate and its attitude. It cannot be compared with Yan.Even if they have declined, there are still three to five thousand monk soldiers like 身ji Temple and Kofukuji Temple, not to mention large monk soldier groups such as Koyasan Kongobuji Temple, Neraiji Temple, Ichigoshu Seishan Honganji Temple and so on.  There are only about seven or eight hundred people in the entire East Temple, including the old monks who are the gatekeepers. There are more than a hundred little bald people in there, the youngest is a few years younger than him. Some flower gardens in the temple have been opened.  The vegetable garden grows radishes, soybeans and other crops. The royal family and ministers originally provided financial assistance, but now none of them have spare money to donate, so they can only wait for some donations from the shogunate merchants.  In fact, Toji Temple also has a large number of temple leaders in Yamashiro Kingdom. Unfortunately, some Chinese people are not very particular and directly occupy the temple leader's vegetable garden, saying it is his family's vegetable garden. Toji Temple does not have monk soldiers to scare others, so they can only ask the shogunate for help. In the past, the shogunate was still effective.  The last few decades have not been very bright either. Those Chinese people bullied the East Temple and occupied it unscrupulously without any weapons. What they can really control now is only more than a thousand dan, and from time to time a rich man comes to donate a sum and they can still get by.  go.  But monks don＊t just eat and don＊t work. Occasionally they have to give lectures and occasionally hold sutra debate meetings. In short, they have a lot of money to spend. The little savings are simply not enough. The elders of Toji can only think  Some crooked tricks, such as finding a rich good man to confer you a Dharma Bridge Master, can also earn some donations.  "Everyone's life is difficult in these troubled times!" Looking at the few monks with shiny foreheads at Toji Temple, Kira Mansomaru also lamented that every house has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, especially in busy areas like Kyoto.  Competition among many monasteries is fierce. Even the abbot of a large monastery has to have two brushes to make a stable living, which is indeed not easy.  Regardless of the epic struggle history of Toji Temple, the scenery here is really good. Although the golden hall was burnt down and was rebuilt, it is a bit inferior. It is a pity that the lecture hall, five-story pagoda, imperial hall, Dainichi Hall, Bishamon Hall, initiation hall,  Hozo, Guard Hachimangu Shrine, Taigendo Hall, and Bentendo are all very good. Among them, the five-story pagoda was burned down and rebuilt after four lightning strikes, which is no small miracle.  After visiting the two main towers of Toji Temple, Kanchi-in Temple and Hobodhi-in Temple, Kira Mansomaru took two girls, one older and one younger, and set off back to Sakamoto. Halfway through, he met the horseback samurai who reported the news, "The owner of the temple  Sir! It's not good! Hosokawa Harumoto's retainer Nosei Inabamori came to Sakamoto and threatened to challenge the samurai of the Kira family one by one!" Akiku covered his mouth with one hand and the other.  Katsuhime didn't dare to interrupt. Kira Mansomaru turned around and smiled at them, then turned back and frowned and asked, "How is the situation now?" "His Majesty Yamamoto suppressed his subordinates and did not accept the challenge. I sent you to contact the master of the hall before making a decision.  "Why are you hesitating? Just let Watanabe Takatsuna go back to Sakamoto! And tell them to clean up and don't cause trouble to me!" "Yes!"  Riding away from the dust.  "Onii-chan! Will everything be okay?" Not only Shengji looked nervous, Aju also looked worried.  "Don't worry, this won't trouble me!" Kira Manshomaru said a few words of relief, and then he called the accompanying horsemen to continue their journey.  〞〞〞〞 PS: A new week, a new beginning, every week is a new challenge, today Wu Mei will keep the promise of 3 updates, this is the first update.
