Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early 20th year of Astronomy, at Kasugayama Castle Castle, Nagao Kagetora took the letter sent by Kira Yoshitoki and fell into deep thought. Many things happened in the year that just passed. First, Nagao Kagetora followed Kira Yoshitoki's advice and recognized Uesugi.  Ding Ming entered Dao Xuanqing as his father, and nominally obtained the position of the head of Echigo Kingdom.  Then half a month ago, he sent an envoy to Luo to present gifts to the court and the shogunate. The shogunate won the crucial battle and regained control of the Yamashiro Kingdom. Unexpectedly, the initiator of all this was this man who was killed by Echigo.  The child governor who was looked down upon by his retainers, such a huge contrast made a group of important ministers in Kasugayama Castle shatter their glasses, of course, if they really had glasses.  The main significance of Shangluo's gift to the court and the shogunate this time was to obtain the right to use the shogunate's white umbrella bag and felt saddle cover, which was the recognition of the status of the ruler of the Echigo Kingdom. This was a method used by his father Nagao Taikage during his time.  , with the approval of Uesugi Sadami, the leader of the Echigo Kingdom, and obtaining the permission of the leader from the shogunate, he felt that his position as the new generation of Echigo ruler could be stable, but what should he do next? Nagao Kagetora still  He was a little unsure, but then Kira Yoshitoki's letter gave him a new choice.  "Throughout the ages, the laws followed by the imperial court and shogunate have been in line with the great justice of heaven. Today, the name of guardian is to support the shogunate, guard the country, and ensure the safety of the people. Today, the country has collapsed and moral principles have been lost. The people of the Eastern Kingdom do not know that there is an emperor and general.  Those who know Shoshu Hojo, Koshu Takeda, and Shunshu Imagawa have lost their righteousness! But now the Nagao Palace has given up the righteousness of saving the imperial court and the shogunate based on the small righteousness of the people of the country guarding their homeland and supporting each other to guard the country.  Compared to that, what's more important?" Nagao Kagetora frowned slightly, feeling that using the word "righteousness" seemed to be out of the ordinary. The tone of these words was as majestic as Hongzhong Dalu's deafening voice. Nagao Kagetora shook his head and sighed for a moment,  Resist the desire to speak and continue reading.  "Today, the Kai Takeda invaded Shinano and caused chaos. Even though Murakami, Takanashi and other samurai families resisted, they could not stop their sharpness! If the Nagaoden is left to its own devices and expands at will, it will one day sweep Shinano and take the power of the two states.  In the invasion of Echigo, it is hard to say that with the power of Nagaoden and the bravery of Echigo samurai, defending the homeland and uniting people will be the top priority. How can we start talking about the ambition to help the shogunate? " Read this long story.  Okagatora hesitated for a long time. He was a little confused. Being cautious and "not committing crimes" was his ambition since childhood. Although many retainers did not understand his ambition, he never told anyone what he thought. Only his sister Tora  Ji probably knows something, this has always been a secret hidden in his heart.  It's funny to say that he had this idea because of his father, a generation of powerful hero Nagao, who defeated Shang in the background and caused a huge turmoil in Echigo and even Kanto. In the end, his father was too arrogant and caused Uesugi Sadami.  As well as Kamijou's constitution, the Uesugi family tree generation family members Usami Fusada, Usami Sadamitsu and his son, as well as the joint resistance of the Yangbei family, almost lost the centuries-old foundation of the Nagao family.  Because of this huge turmoil that affected the entire Echigo, Nagao Weike, who had been involved in Echigo for thirty years, was deeply affected. In the fifth year of Tenmon, he gave way to his legitimate son Nagao Harukei, and died in depression at the end of the eleventh year of Tenmon.  , Nagao Kagetora, who was still a monk at Rinsenji Temple, appeared at the funeral of his father Nagao Kagetora wearing a suit of armor, which attracted the attention of many people.  At that time, the signs of new unrest in Echigo were already obvious. The Nagao clan was recruiting troops from all over the world to fight. At that time, someone saw Nagao Kagetora, who was only thirteen years old, and asked him why he was like this. He said: "Imado Etsu  Later, when conflicts broke out again, I took the lead as a protector of the Daiichi clan. I wore a large armor to be ready for battle at any time. "I showed extraordinary talents at a young age, so I was assigned by my elder brother Nagao Harukage to go to the unfamiliar Tochio in Central Vietnam.  He took charge of the city and gathered his basic team, the Seven Hands Group, which later aroused the fear of his brother and gave rise to new turmoil. This was something he did not expect. Because of his growth experience, he had great control over his superiors.  I can't say he hates his heroic father, but subconsciously he is always unwilling to do the same thing as his father.  "And Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo made a private alliance, agreeing to attack each other and watch each other; Takeda attacked Shinno and entered Echigo, Hojo invaded Musashi and dominated Kanto, and Imagawa occupied Mikawa and swept away Sanluo. If all the people in the world were like Nagaoden  If you can't guard the country's borders and don't have an inch of territory from other countries, how can you fight against the military strength of other countries in a small area? Presumably, it won't be long before the mainland of Kanto is bound to fall into their hands. By then, Echigo will be swallowed up by Takeda, Kanto will be dominated by Hojo, and the Nagao Palace will be conquered.  How should we deal with ourselves? What should we do if we are loyal to the shogunate?" "His Majesty Kira's words are really sharp!" Nagao Kagetora smiled silently, although he felt that what Kira Yoshishi said was a bit alarmist, but this assumption  It is not unreasonable. The Takeda family has invaded Shinano from the north since the beginning of Astronomy. After more than ten years of hard work, it has occupied half of Shinano.  Can now be blocked by Murakami YoshikiyoIt has been difficult for a long time. If he had not intervened, the entire Shinano would soon fall into the hands of the Takeda family. At that time, the Takeda family would combine the power of the two countries to attack Echigo. Even with his ability, he would have to work hard to resist it.  Don't talk about supporting the shogunate and promoting the reputation of the Wu family.  "¡­Therefore, the Nagawei Palace must not compromise the great righteousness for the sake of small righteousness. It must emphasize the use of virtuous ministers to formulate laws, abolish the inaccessibility of guardian envoys, and withdraw and merge customs to strengthen the cohesion of the territory. Only in this way can the power of a country be concentrated on one point, and a close place can be protected."  Punishing those who have caused chaos in the country can go a long way to help the shogunate and sweep away the decline of the shogunate. When he succeeds and becomes famous, he can return the lost territory of the samurai family. At Nagaoden, he can also take off his armor and enter the Taoist temple to practice meditation in the famous mountains of Kyoluo. Isn't this a righteous act?  If you can kill tens of thousands of people and save hundreds of millions of people, what's wrong with it, even if your reputation is damaged?" Nagao Kagetora clutched the letter and thought for a long time. It wasn't until Xiao Xing reminded him that it was time to rest that he suddenly noticed what was happening outside.  The sky was already pitch black. He turned around and handed the letter to the oil lamp. He hesitated for a while, sighed and put the letter away in the bookshelf. Looking at the dim night outside the window, he said lightly: "His Majesty Kira talks about gold and jade."  Good words, what a pity! Echigo is still unstable Nagao Masaki, how should I treat you? "The world is changing rapidly, and the Nanman missionaries are coming, and they are driving something that the Japanese have never seen before.  The large sailing ship came to Sakai Town. It is said that when the huge sailing ship sailed into Osaka Bay, the scene was extremely spectacular. Those red and yellow-haired Nanman people came to the door with all kinds of small things and gave gifts. I heard that they came to trade.  They plan to open up a new sea route and preach.  Accompanying the Nanman people was a Satsuma native named Yajiro. It is said that this man committed a crime in Satsuma and fled to Nanyang. As a result, he met Xavier and his party and became their translator. Then he was quickly baptized as a Catholic.  This time, this Satsuma countryman who came to Kinki with the Christian name "Paul" used his Satsuma country accent to promote Catholicism everywhere. During this time, he was much more excited than Xavier.  It was probably the first time he came to Kyoto, or he might have some incomprehensible dream. In short, he annoyed many people, especially the famous public warriors in the imperial court and the shogunate. They hated this southern barbarian believer who came from the countryside, but he  I didn¡¯t have that consciousness yet. Whenever I accompanied Xavier to an event, he would open his mouth and pour out the Nanman religion. He had been glared at several times by some warriors who believed in Buddhism and refused to stop, so he almost got into trouble.  Something bad happened.  After causing the Noda turmoil in Kyoto, Xavier left full of disappointment. He seemed to be discouraged by the powerlessness of the court and shogunate. He also discovered Japan's yearning for and intimacy with the civilization of the Central Plains, so he decided to leave Japan and visit the Ming Dynasty.  At first glance, it seemed to him that only by obtaining permission from the Ming Dynasty to preach could they, the missionaries, obtain permission from the shogunate.  This is the so-called roundabout route, but he still doesn¡¯t know that the Ming Dynasty is closing the country. Is it really useful for him to go there?  The visit of Xavier and his entourage can only be regarded as a small episode. It is not surprising that they left Kyoto in disappointment without getting anyone's promise. For the townspeople of Kyoto, this is just a small anecdote and an invisible one.  Just waves.  After finishing his work at Sakamoto Castle, Kira Yoshie still needs to continue his practice and study. This time he is learning the Zen method of the Rinzai sect. He mainly studies the two schools of Daitokuji and Myoshinji. The Myoshinji sect is derived from Daitoku.  As a branch of the temple, when talking about Miaoshin Temple, we have to mention Dade Temple. At this time, three years after the death of the 77th presiding officer of Dade Temple and the great sage Guo Yue Zonggen's death due to illness, the abbot of Dade Temple had already passed to the third branch.  The 102nd Jiang Jiuzongxian, a new monk in recent decades, abandoned the conservative style of Wushan Sect and went to practice in Dade and Miaoxin temples.  Miaoshin Temple is extremely powerful, much more powerful than the Dade Temple of the sect. It has thousands of temples spread across the sixty-six prefectures and is the most prosperous among the many sects of Zen. The founder of Dade Temple is Zongfeng Miao.  Master Zongfeng Miaochao's disciple Cheon Yiheng inherited the residence of Dade Temple, and another disciple Guanshan Huixuan left Dade Temple and established Miaoshin Temple not far away. These two successors Zongfeng Miaochao  The Zen style of Zen was said in the Muromachi period that tradition is prepared by great virtue and creation is by wonderful mind.  Because the two sects have the same origin, but are different from each other, just like two legitimate sons of the same father competing for the family property, the two temples of Datoku Myoshin are also opposed to each other, because the two families are in the heart of Kyoto and operate in Kyoto.  They often ran into each other, which made the relationship between the two factions even more discordant. However, generally speaking, Myoshin Temple outweighed Daitoku Temple, whether it was the late Ikkyu Sojun, the recently deceased Kotake Sogen, or the one who is currently in Sakai.  Obayashi Zongtao, who is very active in the town, is trying to regain the disadvantageous situation.  Of course, these have nothing to do with Kira Yoshitoki. Although his family's ancestral Bodhi Temple belongs to the Miaoshin Temple sect, this does not prevent him from learning the Zen method of Dade Temple. Many eminent monks have studied other sects when they were young.  Although Kira Yoshito doesn't want to be a monk, he doesn't have that many sect views.
