Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is no secret that the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Ashikaga Yoshitoki is not very harmonious. Since the riot in Kyoto, the trend of decline of the shogunate has become more and more obvious. However, the influence of the Kanto public has been rising steadily with the staged victory in the Oshu War. This reaction  The contrast between one rising and one falling and one rising made some samurai very unhappy. The responsibility for the defeat in Kyoto was also attributed to Ashikaga Yoshitoki's lack of support. The accumulation of many factors made the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Ashikaga Yoshitoki even worse.  Odate Harumi retired to Otsu Castle to retire. Ise Sadataka's surviving son Ise Sadara launched a strong challenge to the deacon of the political office. The authority of Settsu Haruto, the new deacon appointed by the general, continued to decline. Hosokawa Terukune  Retainers such as Isshiki Fujinaga, Mibuchi Fujihide, Niki Yoshimasa, and Hatakeyama Naomasa had deep prejudices against the Kanto public. Voices within the shogunate expressed that their checks and balances on Kanto were far greater than their reliance.  This is not good news. The unfriendly attitude of the shogunate left the Kanto Ashikaga family at a loss. As a right minister, Ashikaga Yoshiteru had a considerable say in the court. He chose to suppress Ashikaga Yoshitoki instead of relying on him, so he gave  Konoe Maekyu and Nakayuan Tong had a very negative influence on a series of ministers.  Konoe Maekyu proposed a motion to be promoted to the second position of Ashikaga Yoshitoki, but Nijo Haruyoshi and Ashikaga Yoshiteru jointly vetoed it. It is said that the relationship between Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Konoe Maekyu was also gradually estranged, and he regretted giving Ashikaga a job in private conversations with the shogunate.  With Yoshitoki's status as Lord Kant¨­, you can imagine how he felt when these words reached Ashikaga Yoshitoki's ears through the ninjas.  Hattori Chief is not a shogunate. He does not feel the need to be responsible for the safety of the shogunate. The safety of the Nijo Imperial Palace depends on the responsibilities of the Gongon princes in the shogunate temple. It is not the responsibility of a penniless low-level samurai like him.  If the shogunate didn't give him a reward, why should he sacrifice his life for him?  Hattori Bauchou's attitude exactly represents the will released by the entire Kanto samurai family.  Even when one is as strong as Ashikaga Yoshi, one must accept the collective demands of the retainers.  The Kanto samurai, especially the Mikawa samurai and the Echigo samurai who experienced the early wars, had very strong opinions on the shogunate. They were not recognized or rewarded for their life and death by the shogunate, and they had to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks about their actions in Kanto.  , those useless ministers couldn't defeat the Miyoshi family, so they blamed the Kanto government for their lack of support and embarrassed the shogunate. This bastard logic made many Kanto warriors roll their eyes.  You must know that this era does not believe in tears, and there is no saying that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.  Doesn't it mean that all the people in the hall have no talent, no morals, and they are just sitting there? They have to bear as much responsibility as they have the ability. If you are in a high position and shirk your responsibilities, you will be ridiculed.  ¡­ Otsu Castle, Shiga County, Omi Province, is located at the southernmost end of Lake Biwa. The beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery here are the place where literati and elegant people stop. The princes of the Saionji Temple and the Kazanin Family Assistant, etc., have the opportunity to come here to stay for a few days every season.  , more than ten years of hard work has yielded not only a garden city, but also a golden signboard with good reputation accumulated.  The prosperity of Omi Province does not necessarily lie in the commercial development of Sakamoto but not the prosperity of Sakai Town. The prosperous handicraft industry of Katada has attracted a large number of town residents, and the new famous brand of Otsu, a livable city, is just like the prosperity of Kyoto that always comes to mind when mentioning Kinai.  The vitality of Sakai Town and the city card of Otsu are livability.  ??Imagine there is a famous temple of the Tendai sect adjacent to the religious holy places Enryakuji Temple, Yuanchengji Temple, Saijiao Temple and so on.  It is also only a stone's throw away from Kyoto and Sakamoto. It takes less than half a day by boat to travel to and from Kyoto. This garden city will be very attractive to many people who yearn for life in Kinai. The so-called Omi Three Cities are the three pearls on Lake Biwa.  That¡¯s where it comes from.  Odate Harmitsu lives in seclusion in Otsu Town. Also living here is Kuze Right Minister Kuga Harumichi. On this day, tea masters Sen no Rikyu, Imai Munehisa, and Tsuda Muneji from Sakai Town visited the town and held a meeting in Odate Harmitsu¡¯s Yashiki.  A small tea party, there were about twenty or thirty people participating in the tea party. They came from three religions and nine schools, but they all had extraordinary skills.  For example, Sakai, a family of medical officials who have been hailed as medical sages for generations, wrote thirty volumes of "Yishin Prescriptions", which were awarded by the emperor for curing Emperor Masachika.  , the Sakai ikebana master Bunami who compiled the "Twenty Pieces of Flower Theory", Tachibana Matasanho, the first family in Sakai to build a Sakai tube, and the famous musician Kisukeya Kiki who once lived in the Ryukyu Kingdom and was treated favorably by the Ryukyu King Shouma.  Yin Tan, as well as Shinwu Saner, Yutianwu Zongzhai, Zhucangwu Shaodi and other cultural figures gathered together.  The tea ceremony masters in Sakai Town are unusual. They are not as arty as Ashikaga thought. They drink tea in a calm and natural way. They live in a semi-enclosed tea room, arrange a bunch of flowers, and boil a pot of water. However, this tea party is not a one-on-one tea party.  When people live in a secret room, they inevitably have to bend the rules.  Tsuda Sect and Fu Zhang sighed: "Zhuguang Patriarch once said that in the art of tea, one is most wary of self-centeredness and egotism. If you see someone who is capable, you will be jealous of someone who is behind you, and you will scorn him. This cannot be done. Those who see someone who is capable will approach you.  I deeply believe that those who admire their talents must cooperate with them vigorously!"   Hanjing Ruize nodded and said: "The tea ceremony is based on the harmony of heaven and earth. It is a custom for governing the world and bringing peace to the country. Today, people use it as a medium to invite guests and meet friends. They enjoy eating, drinking, and satisfying their appetites, and the beauty of the teahouse is gathered together.  It is not the original intention of the tea ceremony to praise one's treasures for one's skill and mock others' stupidity." Imai Munehisa laughed and said: "My ancestor Shaoou often said that he should build a small room under a bamboo shade tree, store spring water, plant vegetation, hang a cauldron, place charcoal, and place flowers.  Prepare a tea set, move the natural water and rocks of the mountains and rivers into a room, enjoy the wind, flowers, snow and moon of the four seasons, feel the growth and decline of the vegetation, treat guests with courtesy, listen to the rustling of the pines in the cauldron, forget the worries and distractions of the world, wash away the dust in your heart with a spoonful of trickling water, it is truly a fairyland on earth.  !¡± Daguan Qingguang shook his head and laughed: ¡°The Inscription of the Humble Room says, there are no white men to talk and laugh, there are scholars to come and go, you can tune the plain qin and read the Golden Scripture, there is no mess of silk and bamboo, there is no labor of writing documents, Nanyang Zhuge Luxi Shuzi said  Pavilion, Confucius said: "What's wrong?" Everyone laughed happily, and Qian Rixiu said: "I think the way of tea can be summed up in four words, "He Jing Qing Jing" Zen monk Hachijo Zongren said: "What is the explanation?"  Looking sideways at the quiet and elegant landscape in the courtyard, he said calmly: "Respect is the basis of etiquette, and its use is harmony. This is the language of etiquette established by Confucius, and it is the heart of the tea ceremony! Even if a nobleman comes to sit,  Their friendship is also indifferent and without flattery. Even if the younger generation comes to dinner, they will treat each other with courtesy and no disrespect.  It¡¯s indescribable!¡± ¡°Wonderful!¡± Tsuji Genya, a disciple of Takeno Shoou and Sen no Rikyu¡¯s disciple, praised: ¡°When building a teahouse, the tea utensils should be kept from being complicated and beautiful. Even though the utensils are ancient, they are always new and the scenery of the four seasons should be kept in mind.  , remembering not to flatter, not to be greedy, not to be extravagant, to be cautious, simple and upright is the way to enjoy the harmony of nature, move mountains, rivers, wood and stones to the stove, and drink the flowing water of heaven and earth, and enjoy the flavor!  The harmonious spirit is the tea ceremony! "The tea ceremony is the way of Zen, and drinking tea is actually the practice of Zen. Therefore, it is also called the way of Zen tea. Sen no Rikyu said: "The utensils of Zen tea are neither beautiful nor treasures.  The utensil is not an ancient utensil. It uses a pure and pure heart as a utensil. It is the tea of ??Zen. Regardless of whether the utensil is good or bad, it is a utensil that can eliminate good and evil views and find the true nature of one's mind."  The Zen tea utensils are not ordinary utensils but originate from the pure and natural heart. This heart is called Yuanxu, which means the wisdom that is perfect like space and illuminates everything. It fits perfectly with the perfect Buddha's meaning, as recorded in the Tantra Sutra by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.  "The Buddha's verse in "The Great Round Mirror has a pure intellect, an equal mind, and no disease. It has wonderful observation and wisdom, and it is the same as the round mirror." Imai Munehisa said happily: "The vessel of one mind is not made of human pottery, heaven and earth.  The vessel of nature, the yin and yang, the sun, the moon, the myriad phenomena, and the thousands of realms are all in one order. Therefore, all things in the world are the pure tea vessel of reality. This is the vessel of nature. "The sky is high and high, so it contains all things, and the sky is far and wide.  So let the birds fly and the fish jump, just like the sun rising in the east and gradually turning to the west, like the resurrection of all things in spring, the leaves falling and fruit bearing in autumn, like the scorching heat of summer and the severe cold of winter, this is the great way for the movement of heaven and earth, and it is the true form of all dharmas.  It can be said that the Buddha's mind is empty and ignorant. It does not know the ultimate principles of heaven and nature, and creates all kinds of delusions based on superficial understanding and various distinctions, which obscures the true aura.  Jiuga Qingtong put his hands together and said: "The action of all things does not give rise to the desire to do it. If it arises, the mind will stop at the task. Therefore, there should be no place to live and the mind will arise. If the mind and hands stop at the place where the intention arises, it will not work. If it is done, it will not work."  Just stop where it is, and the mind will be where it is at the same time and not just where it is. This is what celebrities in the Tao say. Stop the mind from attachment and fall into reincarnation. Stop the mind as the talisman of life and death. Look at the red flowers and green leaves. See the heart of red flowers and green leaves. See the red flowers and green leaves.  The heart is more than red flowers and green leaves! " "The World Honored One said, the world is not a world, it is called a world, living beings are not living beings, it is called living beings, a mote of dust is not a mote of dust, it is called a mote of dust, and all dharmas are not like this.  Seeing, it is not nothing.¡± The Tsuda Sect concluded with the Buddhist verses in the Diamond Sutra.  A tea party was held for half a day. The guests and the host had a great time. The guests were enjoying tea and meditating at ease. Before the sun set in the evening, they all packed up and left. When the moon was at the top of the sky, Taiguan Qingguang and Tsuda Zonghe sat opposite each other.  In the tea room, there was no trace of the relaxed chatting and laughing scene in the afternoon.  Odate Seimetsu, who was already in his seventies and already very old, asked with a serious look on his long, snow-white eyebrows: "How is the situation in Takaya-den?" "The turtle is fighting with Kii in a trapped beast." Tsuda Muneki let out a long sigh.  : "Ever since Yukawa Minbu Shaofuden was killed in the battle and Anmi Mimasakuden led the two thousand remaining soldiers to withdraw into Kii, the situation has become worse and worse." Odate Harimitsu frowned and said: "If it hadn't been for the Battle of Kumeda, it would have happened again.  Even if this is the case, the Miyoshi family will not show off their evil intentions for a while. " Tsuda Muneji comforted him: "Speaking of which, we can't blame Takaya-den for doing things poorly. The battle of Kumeda is directly related to the turmoil in Kyoto. If the power of the Miyoshi repair hall hadn't increased so much, I would have wanted to come to Kinai.  A powerful daimyo will not act rashly. " "It makes sense. The commotion in Kyoto is really surprising.His reckless decision to marry off his daughter made the Miyoshi family feel humiliated, which led to the Miyoshi army raiding Kyoto to seize the shogunate. This greatly reduced the power of the shogunate, disappointed the world's heroes, and made the Miyoshi family increasingly miserable.  A heart of respect.  "Odate Harimitsu said with a helpless smile. "Four years before the Kyoto riots occurred in Eiroku, Odate Harimitsu retired from the shogunate because of physical discomfort, freeing up high-level public posts to his legitimate son, Odate Terumi.  He himself had a good relationship with the Kanto government for many years and was able to spend his quiet old age in a quiet and elegant courtyard in Otsu Castle. In the past few years, he did not have to worry about the trivial matters of the shogunate. He also had frequent contacts with tea people in Sakai Town.  Tate Harimitsu was in a good mood. Risaku Hanai, who was the imperial physician, took his pulse and treated him personally, which eliminated most of the long-standing malaise. Apart from being slightly older, Odate Harimitsu was much tougher than he was ten years ago.  Teru's influence has been reduced to a dispensable level. The entire process of the riot in Kyoto was the result of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's arbitrary decision. Even if it caused the commotion, he still plausibly stated that this was a countermeasure to get rid of the suppression of the Miyoshi family.  The so-called "shooting a stone to shoot oneself in the foot" is a person like him who is restrained by the marriage of a potential enemy.  By accident, the power of Kyoto was greatly increased, which led to some changes in the political climate in the Kinai. The most significant change is that in recent years, he has been in charge of the Hosokawa Ukyo Daifuden without any sense of existence. In Yodo Castle, which has been closed for many years,  It ended in gloom. His Highness did not appoint a new leader. This was the beginning.  "The so-called Dr. Hosokawa Ukyo is the puppet leader of the Hosokawa clan. This gentleman was also very proud of his ambitions. He was knocked back to Settsu by Ashikaga Yoshitoki with a stick and was forgotten in the corner by Miyoshi Nagakei. This forgetfulness is close to  After being neglected for ten years, he finally managed to survive the Battle of Luozhong and captured half of Kyoto. He thought that he could go to Kyoto again to fulfill his dream of being a leader. Miyoshi Changqing hit him on the head with a stick again.  On the road, he was taken to the claustrophobic Yodo Castle on the other side of Shoryuji Castle. The life behind bars slowly drained away the last bit of faith from Hosokawa Uzuna. The desperate samurai died silently in a palm-sized house in Yodo Castle.  His death did not cause any disturbance in Kyoto. From the shoguns Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Miyoshi Nagakei to the people of Kinai, they all faced the death of this insignificant leader with indifference and did not spend a day in Kyoto.  It is not a pity that the leader died. The death of Hosokawa Utsusuna is not surprising. What is puzzling is that the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki has no intention of continuing to appoint a leader. He is not interested in supporting another one.  The two parties had a tacit agreement not to mention the rule of appointing a leader, so the Muromachi shogunate entered the era of no leader. "Does not having a leader have such a big impact?  "Tsuda Soji rarely went to Kyoto, and his understanding of the political system of the shogunate was very simple. He asked doubtfully: "Didn't the Miyoshi repair hall control the leaders and abolish the establishment?  Presumably giving up a leadership appointment shouldn¡¯t have much impact!  " Odate Qingguang said: "That's not the case. Your Highness doesn't know how much damage this will cause to the shogunate!  Without the leader, the barrier to check and balance the leader generation will be lost. Breaking the existing balance system will bring unimaginable disasters. The Miyoshi family has been in decline in recent years precisely because of His Highness's negligence. The Battle of Kumeda and the Kyotoji Temple  All battles are direct feedback of this hidden danger.  "    "how do I say this?  " "This is the beginning of a new chapter, just as the first half of the generals started the beginning of deposing generals, making it normal for leaders to depose generals" At this point, Taigu Qingguang vaguely skipped the embarrassing history and continued:  "Miyoshi established the Kyoto Abolition Authority in the Imperial Palace to establish hegemony over the Kinai region, which can be regarded as the beginning of the Abolition Authority. Hosokawa Ukyo's answer to being arbitrarily detained in Yodo Castle shows that this normal situation is gradually deteriorating, and it is no longer the case.  Setting up control means that the pace of deterioration is accelerating.  ¡± Ashikaga Yoshiteru did not realize how much harm the lack of leadership would bring to the shogunate. The three and four posts of the shogunate had long lost the significance of their establishment. In the Warring States Period, there was a brief leadership vacancy.  In the fight for leadership, one party does not yet have the advantage to obtain the leadership. As long as the traditional inertia remains, the samurai family's natural sense of awe for the shogunate will still remain.  The leadership means that the tradition of the shogunate is disappearing, and the authority of the shogunate is quietly disintegrating. Today, the three posts and four positions may no longer exist. Tomorrow, the shogun may also cease to exist. The world cannot be separated from a certain person.  If you can't live, the sun will still rise the next day and the day will still go on. Tsuda Muneki is also a man who understands. The secret is that the heart of awe is lost. If you lose the leader today, you will lose the general tomorrow.  This world can be messed up, and from now on there will be no distinction between superior and inferior warriors., thousands of years of order and law have collapsed. It is hard to say whether the emperor, who is known as the eternal lineage, will be pulled down. In short, it can be summarized as the country does not control the country.  "This world cannot be in chaos, the world cannot be in chaos, and the thousand-year legal order of Japan cannot be in chaos." Tsuda Muneki said: "The opinions of our Sakai Town Naya people are consistent, even Settsu, Izumi and even Awa under the Miyoshi family  , The people of Sanuki will never dare to do anything rebellious. If the world is in chaos, everyone will really be in ruins." Kuga Harumichi opened the door and stepped into the quiet room to sit down. He was busy preparing for the meeting.  The guest was placed in the room, and after hearing this meaningless sentence, he said: "This world has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and the loss of life is not a temporary thing." Tsuda Muneki didn't care about Odate Harimi's face, and said bluntly  Said: "This is different. In the past, the chaos was caused by the loss of authority of the shogunate and controlled by the leaders of the Ashikaga clan. But now the chaos started when His Highness K¨­kata did not have a leader, which led to the continuous war in Kinai. Miyoshi  The death of the Miyoshi repair hall has given rise to new turmoil. If the three of them are acting recklessly, it is very likely that the shogunate will be brought to the ground. If this chaos continues, the consequences will be disastrous! " "Is it because of the Miyoshi family? "  Kuga Harumichi raised his eyebrows and said: "The Mihaoshi family has lost its governor and has become a mess."
