    In early July, Kira Yoshito received a beautiful invitation from Nakain's family. The marriage ceremony between Nakain Tongmi and Kuga Yoshiko will be officially held on August 22. In addition to the invitation, there is also a letter attached.  It was an autographed letter from his aunt Yoshi Odai. As the daughter of the Sanjonishi family, she had extraordinary attainments in sinology and singing, even as good as his elder brother Sanjonishi Micho.  At first glance, the letter was indeed extraordinary. The font was beautiful and the wording was fluent. She was indeed the daughter of the famous Sanjo Nishi family. Kira Yoshitoki clicked his tongue in admiration. The general meaning of the letter was that his uncle still supported him and he was close to the shogunate.  Yes, but you have to carefully grasp the direction. At the same time, I hope he will come to Zhongyuan's home more often.  On July 10th, Miaounji Temple was completed. As the only temple in the Katada area, its completion put great pressure on the stubborn resistance of the Katada community. On the day of the completion of Miaounji Temple, Kira Yoshitoki made a high-profile announcement about the Bodhi Temple of the Kira family in Kyoto.  It was moved to Omi Myounji Temple, and at the same time, the eminent monk Xian Mi from Kyoto Myoshinji Temple was invited to attend.  This eminent monk is also an old acquaintance of Kaikawa Shauki. The two practiced together at Myoshinji Temple and are close confidants. As old friends for many years, they returned to Kinki to serve as abbots. Kian Xuanmi also presented five manuscripts of Buddhist scriptures as a gift.  Ministry, a pair of sandalwood rosary beads, Kuaichuan Shaoxi presided over the foundation ceremony that day as the founder.  As the founding founder, Kira Yoshi presented 2,000 Yongle coins on the spot. In accordance with the tradition of founding the foundation, he sent 20 treasured Buddhist scriptures from the Heian period and 100 Buddhist scriptures from the Kamakura period to Myounji Temple, as well as various Buddhist scriptures repeated by the Kira family.  A total of more than 300 classics were sent to Miaoyun Temple. At the same time, some sandalwood, 20 kilograms of lamp oil, 500 shi of rice, and 1,000 sets of silk clothes and hemp shoes were also given as gifts.  A statue of Sakyamuni Tathagata is enshrined in the Sakyamuni Hall, which is the Buddha statue enshrined by the master of Miaoyun Temple. In addition, a Guanyin Hall is built in the west courtyard, in which a statue of Ruyilun Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined. This is the same as the Shenxiang Temple in Mikawa, Ruyi  Lun Guanyin symbolizes the mourning for deceased female relatives, so it is visited by many believers. A medicine hall was built in the east courtyard, in which a statue of Tathagata Buddha, King of Glazed Light, is enshrined. Praying for illness and good health is also the most important thing for believers, so  The three halls of Miaoyun Temple were built one after another.  In addition, there are many buildings such as the Imperial Shadow Hall, the Lecture Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Bell Tower, the Taiko Gate, the Taixuan Gate, the Three-Storied Pagoda, the Golden Hall, and the Dining Hall. The temple also has the Misoin, Chongfukuin, Anzenin, Fudoin, and the altar.  The temple and other pagodas cover an area of ??nearly 10,000 square meters, with gates in the east, west, north and south. The temple walls are high and deep, and there is a cave inside. Its grand scale and complete facilities even surpass the Yuancheng Temple of the Tiantai Temple Gate Sect.  With such a scale and the time when it was founded, this temple became a truly first-class temple in Omi. Kira Yoshitoki promised Miaounji to receive one hundred guan of Yongle money and two hundred koku of grain every quarter, so that Kaichuan Shaoxi did not have to plow the fields.  , just study Buddhism with peace of mind.  Perhaps in terms of scale and number of monks, it can't be compared with main mountain-level temples such as Enryaku-ji Temple and Enjo-ji Temple, but this emerging Buddhist temple uses many new architectural techniques and is rapidly growing.  After Chuan Shaoxi's painstaking efforts in the past three months, thousands of believers immediately gathered as soon as the foundation was opened, making the temple glow with prosperity inside and outside. Even Master Xi'an Xuanmi expressed his appreciation for Miaoyun Temple.  Later, I learned from the conversation that this master and Kuaichuan Shaoxi had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship.  In late July, an important official of the Imagawa family went to Sakamoto as an envoy. This time the envoy was the familiar Sekiguchi Okinaga. He sent the gifts from Imagawa Yoshimoto to Kira Yoshitsune, including Chinese books, a collection of Japanese songs, tea utensils, flutes, kotos, famous horses, and strong swords.  Bows, famous swords and other miscellaneous things were given a little of each. They seemed inconspicuous, but if converted into copper coins, it would cost several thousand guan to get them.  Kira Yoshitoki warmly entertained Sekiguchi Chinnaga and his party and invited them to rest in the newly built residence outside Sakamoto Castle. Sekiguchi Chinnaga was very interested in the newly built Sakamoto Town, especially after hearing about the Rakushi Order, he couldn't sit still.  I went to take a look at the situation. I was shocked by the lively and prosperous scene as soon as I arrived in Sakamoto Town. No one would have thought that this castle town had never existed two years ago.  While visiting Sakamoto Town, Shinaga Sekiguchi complimented the strength of the Kira family. When he arrived at Sakamoto Castle, Kira Yoshitsune expressed the hope that the Imagawa family would increase the influence of the Mish¨­ Ankoku Zen Temple, and invited disciples of Taiyuan Xuezhai to come to Nishi Mikawa to preach. This request  Naturally, Sekiguchi Chiyunaga agreed.  Kira Yoshitsune had been worried about the power of the Ichikou sect in Mikawa. He was determined to use the power of the Imagawa family to suppress the influence of the Ichikou sect in Hatado, Bihai, and Natsuda counties. At the same time, he was worried that Sekiguchi Chinaga had agreed too readily.  I was doing personnel matters and wrote to Ji Liang Yi'an, hoping that he would take the initiative to invite disciples from Taiyuan Xuezhai to come to Sanhe to teach the Dharma.  At the same time, he also gave advice to Kira Yi'an, asking him to invite retainers, wealthy families, and local servants in batches in the name of the Kira family to worship the Buddha at the Kira family's Mixiang Anguo Zen Temple. It will be held on the first and fifteenth day of each month. In addition, it will be expanded.  The Menqian Town of Mixiang Anguo Zen Temple gradually attracted popularity and gradually weakened the main town.The influence of the temple.  In this way, even if Honjoji, Kamigouji, and Shougenji knew that they were dealing with them, the monks of the Ichigo sect would not dare to act rashly, because the power of Myoshinji sect in Mikawa Kingdom is not weak, and it is spread all over Kinki.  , the Myoshinji Sect group in Tokaido and even in the entire Japan is a behemoth. Although it is not as bellicose as the Ichibuki clan, once they are angered and the Myoshinji Sect samurai family in Kinki makes a fuss, I am afraid that Ishiyama Honganji Temple will not be able to save it.  He can be sure that Taiyuan Xuezhai, who is also from the Miaoshinji sect, will never sit idly by, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is from the Miaoshinji sect, can also not sit idly by. If Mikawa Sanji really doesn't have the foresight to dare to take action against the Prime Minister Anguo Zen Temple  , no matter what the final result is, Taiyuan Xuezhai will lead the Imagawa family's army to avenge his junior brother and disciple. Of course, Imagawa Yoshimoto will not object to this, because he himself is also from the Miaoshin Temple sect, and his master is still  Taiyuan Xuezhai, the origins here are so deep that outsiders simply don¡¯t understand them.  In July, new news came from Kanto. Since the end of the spring broadcast in March, the entire Kanto has been plunged into a new war. Hojo Ujiyasu wants to regain the lost territory of the Musashi Kingdom, and the opposing Southern Kanto Allied Forces are unwilling to make a comeback. This time they face  The right one is the 35,000 military forces of the Kanto samurai such as Satomi, Ota, Chiba, Satake, Oda, Yuuki, and Maritani, including the Shangsu, Shimosu, Anfang, and Hitachi countries.  In order to fight against the large army in Kanto, Hojo Uji Yasuchika led 12,000 people out of Edo Castle this time. The two sides faced off on both sides of the Arakawa River east of Edo Castle. Koga Furukawa, who was originally in Shimosu, was also invited to participate in the battle. Harusuke Hajida  He rushed over with his nephew Ashikaga Fujimasa, and before he was halfway there, he heard that Satomi Yoshihiro of the Imperial Order had very short-sightedly proposed Ashikaga Yorijun, the young Yumi, to be the commander-in-chief of the people of the Southern Kanto Kingdom.  News that he personally serves as deputy commander.
