The eyes of Hirata and Izumi Mamoru began to change. He put his left hand on the sword involuntarily, bowed slowly and said: "Yes!" Zhou Hao laughed and said: "It turns out that the new shogunate council member saw that the Changyusho Gate opened to the west. You can enter and exit the sword room that only the general can enter. What happened to the shogunate? Can Izumi Shoden answer me?" Hirata and Izumi stared at it for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, it was discovered. Zhou Haodian is as smart and sharp as ever. The rumors are so amazing! It*s a pity that you still left Luyuanyuan.§ Zhou Hao laughed: ※If the poor monk can stay safe by hiding in Luyuanyuan, he will definitely hide in the temple forever. If you don't come out Is it possible that Izumi is planning to burn the Kinkakuji? This responsibility." "Perhaps! The Sanhao family still has some conscience" Zhou Hao smiled, turned around and looked at the little monk huddled in the corner, and sighed: "It's just that the poor monk never expected that Jisuke would actually do it. "I'm sorry, it's getting late. I have to ask His Highness Zhou Hao to go on his way." "Yisuke!" "Yes!" He took out a dagger from his sleeve and walked towards Zhou Hao tremblingly, muttering: "I'm sorry, Your Highness! I, Jisuke, really hate the life in this Luyuan Courtyard. I want to return to secular life, marry a wife and have children, and I want to build a career." I want to inherit the family, and I can't stay in this small temple for the rest of my life I'm sorry!" Zhou Hao's eyes widened: "Kisuke, how dare you forget the kindness of these ten years! What has the poor monk done to you these years? Put down your weapon. You can forget about it, just let it go!" "I" Jisuke was stunned, realizing that neither the left nor the right was right, and he looked helplessly. Hirata and Izumi Mamoru, the latter was extremely fed up. He yelled angrily: "You haven't done anything yet! Do you think you can get forgiveness by begging for mercy now? Why don't you send Zhou Haodian on his way quickly so that you can get your share of the reward!" "Yesyes!" Jisuke held the dagger tightly and fiercely He bowed and walked over resolutely, and when Zhou Hao's expression changed suddenly and he retreated, he stabbed the dagger into his chest and shouted: "I'm sorry, Your Highness! I, Jisuke, thank you for your respect and love for many years, but today I still Please die in peace! Sorry!" Zhou Hao covered his blood-stained cyan clothes. He slowly retreated and sat on the ground, with blood pouring out of his mouth and nose. He pointed at Kisuke and said intermittently: "If you do this you will be punished by the gods and Buddhas Those who are treacherous will fall into the endless hell." Yes! You will definitely pay the price" The dying man's hard struggle was very painful, and the fierce breathing like a bellows gradually lost strength. When the last trace of blood disappeared with the last ray of sunset, he was young and full of energy. Vibrant life passes away quietly. Yin Hong's blood gathered into a path, flowed into the Kamo River along the pebbles along the river, and flowed down the river into countless trickles and poured into the sea. "I did itI killed someone! I was rewarded!" Jisuke knelt in front of Zhou Hao's body and cried loudly: "Father and mother in heaven! I, Jisuke, am no longer the cowardly and bullied child. ! From today on, I will become a glorious warrior, a powerful warrior with a thousand stones of knowledge!" Jisuke cried and laughed on Zhou Hao's body, completely ignoring the regretful eyes that were filled with nostalgia for his former benefactor. Guangguang, in front of the reward, it doesn't matter even if the master dies with eyes closed, as long as he can live a better life, then the master's death is worth it. Maybe he would be grateful to Zhou Hao for dying bravely. It was safer to be tricked into killing him with his own hands than to poison him. Hirata and Izumi Mamoru drew out their tachi and walked over gently. In the thick dusk, the white sword light seemed to illuminate the river. The sharp blade gently cut through the weeds by the river, cutting a sloping path through the thigh-high grass. , little dewdrops stuck to the blade and disintegrated in the blink of an eye, and only the hissing sound of cutting faintly spread to the surroundings. Jisuke seemed to have realized something and turned around to look around, and saw Hirata and Izumi Mamoru standing behind him with their backs to the setting sun on the horizon. The setting sun shrouded his whole person in shadow, so that his facial features could not be distinguished clearly. Only the sharp sword in his hand exuded a cold light, as if silently signaling that death was coming. Jisuke suddenly had an ominous premonition. He swallowed quietly, clutched the dagger tightly, and said nervously: "Izumi Moriden Can we go" "Well" Hirata and Izumi Mamoru's voice was ethereal. Uncertain, the figure that seemed to be hidden in the shadows still stood still: "Get up! It's time for us to leave. I'll deal with the aftermath" "Okay! I'll get up right now." Kisuke put down the big stone in his heart and hurriedly He stood up, walked a few steps forward, looked around, and said strangely: "??There is a horse. How should we get back? Should we ride the same horse back to Kyoto? This should be no problem! I think it's okay. " "No you don't have to ride on the same horse I have a better suggestion. "Hirata and Izumimomo walked quietly behind Jisuke and whispered as softly as a mosquito or a fly: "I will return to Kyoto to return my orders, you go down and serve Zhou Haodian! " The light of the sword pierced Jisuke's back in the blink of an eye, and then passed through the chest and brought out a ray of blood. The severe pain instantly spread throughout his body. His whole body twitched in pain. Jisuke lowered his head and looked at the bright sword stained with blood. Backing up, he slowly retreated into his chest and disappeared. The next moment, blood spurted out like a spring. With a "pop", Jisuke knelt on the ground facing the direction of Kyoto like a pilgrim. The severe pain destroyed his reason. Weeping hoarsely, tears and blood flowed down, Kisuke cried bitterly: "Why are you doing this to me Why I just want to go back to Kyoto, I still have a sister to take care of She is only ten years old You live on my meager salaryyou don't want to give me knowledgeyou don't have to kill me" "Because you did what you shouldn't do and know what you shouldn't know, so you must die! Hirata and Izumimomo squatted beside him with pity, looked at Jisuke and sighed: "I can't help myself, I hope you can understand!" The above requirement is that only one person can return to Kyoto, then there are only two choices, either you die or I die You have a sister, and I also have a wife and children. So sorry! " "Pleasesave my sister" Jisuke gasped rapidly, his healthy face was as pale as paper, his eyes that were gradually losing focus were full of begging, and a pool of blood quietly formed in the depression below him, which was obviously already gone. There are not many days to go. Hirata and Izumi sighed: "I have investigated your home. Your sister is a very cute little girl If you are willing, I will take her as my concubine. When a boy is born in the future, he will inherit your name and live in your place" "That's good that's it that's it. Okay thank you I can't keep His Highness waiting for too long I should go" Jisuke's face showed a hint of joy, and he took his last breath. Zhou Hao had no suspense After his death, Kakuei was escorted to Koizumi Castle as scheduled. Miyoshi Yoshitsugi refused to pick up Kakukei on the grounds of physical discomfort. In fact, he was frightened by the fact that Ashikaga Yoshiki was killed under his nose, for fear of the general's family. Yiliu died inexplicably in Shenglong Temple City, so they sent people to wait at the dock early to prevent Jueqing from disembarking, and directly changed direction to Xiaoquan City on the other side of the river. Miyoshi and the other two people were angry that the governor was irresponsible, but now it happened. They had no better choice but to welcome Jue Qing to the simple Koizumi City. After a few days of delicious food and drink, Jue Qing relaxed his vigilance and snorted when he saw the humble expressions of Miyoshi and Matsunaga. With a sound of disgust, he turned his face away. The monk Jueqing had not changed into his robes, and he was still dressed like a young monk. His face did not look like he was over thirty years old. His lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyes were bright and dignified. He sat cross-legged in the castle tower and meditated silently. He said calmly: "Say it! What's the point of luring a poor monk outside Kyoto? " "We want to appoint His Highness as the general to conquer the barbarians" Jueqing raised his head in confusion and said disdainfully: "Huh? You despicable Shikoku warriors dare to depose the shogunate. Don't you know that the current lord is my brother-in-law? To imitate Hosokawa Masamoto and abolish the general, how audacious! act recklessly! Don't you know that Hosokawa Masamoto died without a burial place, and you all also want to taste the pain of having your body stabbed by random swords? § Being scolded and despicable in public, the Miyoshi and the other three people turned pale, but they dared to be angry and dare not speak out. In the eyes of the Ashikaga Shogun family, the Miyoshi family is indeed nothing. The Shogun is rich and has the world, and all sixty-six countries belong to the Shogun family. , thousands of samurai are his retainers, except for the emperor in Kyoto, who is like a clay body and a wood sculpture, there is no one who can make the general look down on him, not even compared to one-sixth of the masters of Toyama. , the Ouchi family that dominated the Western Kingdom, and the Hosokawa family that had controlled the shogunate for nearly a hundred years. The Miyoshi family, especially the three Miyoshis in front of them, and Matsunaga Hide, were nothing. Miyoshi Nagakei was just the head of the Hosokawa family. , Miyoshi and others are just retainers of Miyoshi Nagakei. And the Hosokawa family has eliminated a leader position in name only. In the ranking of blood relatives of the Ashikaga clan, Miyoshi Nagakei is not even ranked in the top ten. They didn't dare to show off in front of the general, but the three of them dared to show off in front of the future general? They probably didn't know how the word "death" was written. Sanhao Changyi lowered his head like a dying old man and said cautiously: "Yes! We know that this trip is against God's will, but we are forced to have no choice! Our Miyoshi family has lost its master in succession in recent years, which has put the family business in danger of disintegration. Moreover, our late lord, Seikoinden, offended the Kant身 clan, so that the Kant身 clan and the Kawachi Takaya clan, the Yamato Tsutsui clan, and the Omi Rokkaku clan ,Dan "bob""The Tano clan and other clans are united in an attempt to dismember our Miyoshi family and collapse the peace and tranquility in the Kinei. We have no choice but to take action" Jueqing waved his long sleeves and shouted: "Young monk said this. High-sounding and perfunctory words, the poorest monks can't bear to see you despicable samurai who are just on the outside but vicious on the inside. Ashikaga Yoshitoki's attack on the shogunate was hundreds of times better than those of you villains. Don't find any reason to frame others! " Iwanari Yudong suffers! He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Oops! His Highness is also a difficult character. What can we do?" Sanhao and the others did not expect Jue Qing to be so vigilant. From his words, it can be seen that this gentleman has a clear mind and sharp thinking. As soon as he showed any signs of it, he scolded them until they couldn't hold their heads up. It became very difficult to convince Jueqing to attack his brother Ashikaga Yoshiki. Matsunagahide shook his head slightly, and was very dissatisfied with the stupid methods of Miyoshi and the others. He did not believe that Kakuei did not have the idea of ??becoming a general in his head. Every child of the Ashikaga family harbored the ambition to become a general, just like every child. It's the same for a prince who dreams of becoming an emperor. If he doesn't have any ambitions, why sit here with such arrogance and reprimand them for how despicable and shameless they are with the airs that only a general should have. A monk without ambition should be as calm as water and devote himself to the Buddha. Jue Qing's smart, arrogant and ambitious attitude does not look like an unambitious monk. At most, he is unwilling to commit unfaithful and unfilial acts easily because of the presence of his biological brother and biological mother. In other words In words. As long as they can find a justifiable reason to convince Jue Qing to approve the illegal action of deposing the general. To be polite is to be sanctimonious, but to be ungentle is to act like a "biaozi" and build an archway at the same time. If you want to eat fish, it still feels fishy. Without giving a justifiable reason, he is embarrassed to do the evil thing of betraying his brother confidently. . In short, he has to stand up morally. Being a general cannot be without legitimacy and legitimacy. After all, people in this era are still relatively thin-skinned, and they have not yet degenerated into the shameless behavior of turtles a few decades later. After clarifying this truth, Matsushita Nagahide was full of confidence, bowed slightly and said: "Please enlighten me, Your Highness! Since the Onin Rebellion, the world has been in chaos for hundreds of years. Many warriors are changing like blue clouds, but only the general The rise and fall of the palace has not changed forever! Today, His Highness K身k身 is highly regarded by the public. He has worked hard to revitalize the shogunate for more than 20 years. He appointed the general of the Kwant身 garrison to manage the Eastern Kingdom. In just ten years, he swept across the world. More than ten countries were restored in an instant, and their achievements are astonishing to the present. However" "Huh? Keep talking!" Jue Qing said with a cold face: "What do you want me to do?" Song Jiuxiu smiled lightly! He tilted his head slightly and lowered his head and said: "Yes! However, His Highness the Lord has been without an heir for a long time. He is over thirty years old and has no children to support him, which is a major disaster for the shogunate. However, the Lord Kanto intends to adopt a legitimate son to inherit the clan and make Ashikaga Shogun The family's ancestral business was passed down to the Ashikaga family lineage. Your Highness must know the difference, right?" Jueqing's face immediately fell. He held the rosary and silently recited the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" several times before slowly saying: "Yes. What's the difference? The poor monk doesn't see any difference? It's just that my Ashikaga family has not changed!" "If your highness is not clear, I will take the liberty of making a guess." Matsunaga. Hisahide smiled faintly, glanced at the excited expressions of Miyoshi and the others, and continued: "The current shogunate is known as the Muromachi shogunate in the community. Its name comes from the Hana no Yusho located on Muromachi Street, Sakyo District, Kyoto. Luen Garden It is the pride of our samurai family and the supreme pride of the shogunate line. However, the Ashikaga clan is not the direct descendant of Rokuonin, nor is it a common family. Its origins can be traced back to the Kamakura shogunate period, which has a long history. It almost makes me and other samurai forget about it. This is probably what the so-called distant blood relatives are" Rokuonin Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the only general who enjoys a dignity that surpasses all previous generations, mentions the name of this ancestor, and Kakukei's spirits rise immediately. After a few levels, he was poured cold water on his face by a bucket of cold water before he was happy for a while. The eminent monk of Yichengyuan felt a little unable to pretend on the spot. The fingers holding the rosary beads kept trembling, and he muttered something: "Commons fighting for heirs cannot be tolerated, cannot be forgiven! Ashikaga Yoshitoki is so audacious that he doesn't care about life and death. No wonder Tomojiinden calls him a murderer of the Ashikaga family. There are people behind these people." The rebellious remnants of the Southern Dynasty actually have such evil thoughts! " Foreign ministers cannot intervene in the internal strife of the Shogun's family. Jueqing can call out Ashikaga Yoshitoki for being rebellious, but the foreign ministers of the Miyoshi family absolutely cannot. " There is one meaning described in "The Meridians of Superiority and Inferiority". Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between superior and inferior, and the distinction between superior and inferior. For example, in the Central Plains, the king of Zhou Tian is the king of the princes, and the lord of all nations rules all nations. So much so that Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote "Lunheng" and said: During the Zhou Dynasty, the world was peaceful, and the Japanese came to offer grass; when he became king,Yue Shang offered pheasants, the Japanese offered pheasants, and the white pheasants served pheasants, but they could not eliminate the evil. Respect for superiors and inferiors has run through the history of civilization for thousands of years. This is also the most important article in the Eastern ethical system. By the time of Dong Zhongshu, it had evolved into a social theoretical system in which the king is the guide for the ministers, the father is the guide for the son, and the husband is the guide for the wife. Rule is the core. The aristocrats of the classical feudal era evolved from the great tribal lords and slave owners. This was the case in the Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties of the Central Plains, and the same was true in Japan from the Asuka Period to the Warring States Period for thousands of years. He is not the poor official who is homeless and no one dares to take him in. As a direct descendant of the largest feudal lord, the Ashikaga Shogun, the young and energetic Kakuei doesn't think there is anything wrong with being so arrogant. He can scold him without hesitation. The world-shaking Hosokawa Masamoto had to die a good death, and he could also curse Ashikaga Yoshitoki, who was at the height of his power, as a remnant of the Southern Dynasty. Miyoshi, the trio and Matsunagahide hurriedly bowed their heads and did not dare to move rashly. This is the difference between aristocrats and aristocrats. Over the years, feudal customs have penetrated into their bones. After the death of Minamoto Minatomo, Hojo Yoshitoki had to hold a grand funeral to commemorate the general. Mitsuku Akamatsu only dared to cut off Ashikaga Yoshitaka's head after his death and send him back to Kyoto. Hosokawa Masamoto hurriedly supported Ashikaga Yoshinori and sent troops Ashikaga Yoshitai was expelled and exiled. The general could die or be exiled, but he could never be insulted. No one dared to trample on this iron law. The Miyoshi trio dared to imitate Hosokawa Masamoto in abolishing the establishment and exiled the general, but they did not dare to have any objection to Kakuei. Not the slightest bit disrespectful. Matsunagahide struck while the iron was hot and said in a low voice: "Although Kanto K身kata is also from the famous Ashikaga clan, he was powerful in the Eastern Kingdom during the Kamakura period and made great contributions to the Ashikaga clan. However, after all, Kanto K身kata is not the direct descendant of Luen-in, or even The lineage of Tomochiin can be traced back to the ancestral home of Kamakura in the early years" Jueqing's face turned livid, and he punched the table with his fist, sending the tea and pastries flying out and scattering them all over the floor. He said in a dark voice: "He No of course he is not! He is from Ashikaga Naoyoshi's faction and is hostile to the Tochiin! Two hundred years ago, the rebel who supported the Ashikaga family was hostile to the Tomochiin. His clan member, the Kira Sadashi family, killed the direct descendant of the Hatakeyama family, which triggered the four Oshu administrations. The great chaos of the war for hegemony, the turmoil in Kant身, and the turmoil in the world, Nitta Yoshisada's evil descendants took the opportunity to revolt! When Momochiin was forced to send his second son, Ashikaga Moto, to serve as a guard in Kamakura, there was no one left to count! It's the fault of Ashikaga Naoyoshi and the Kamisuke Ashikaga family! If this group of traitors hadn't caused the disturbance in Kanto, there would have been no great chaos in Kanto. If there was no chaos in Kanto, there would be no Kamakura K身f身, let alone two hundred years. It*s all their fault that the shogunate and the Kanto government have been in constant conflict!§ This is called anger. The Ashikaga Shogun*s family is in such trouble. It*s all because of the remnants of the Kamakura government in Kanto who have always been against the shogunate. The shogunate was getting worse every day, which is why the Onin Rebellion and the Meite Coup broke out. The Kanto samurai made mistakes both inside and outside, and furthermore, Ashikaga Naoyoshi and Kira Mitsuruchi were the culprits who led to this situation. He doesn't care whether his thoughts are reasonable or not. People who express anger are never unreasonable. All he needs to do is to say, in a very neutral way, that everything is your fault. Matsunagahide was overjoyed, and it was a great victory to arouse the anger in Kakuei's heart, so he continued to slander: "What your Highness said is true! The Ashikaga family of the Kanto Lord is indeed a warrior of the Southern Dynasties, even if the soldiers of the Kinkoji Palace (Ashikaga Naoyoshi) Defeated at the Battle of Satagawa Pass, they were forced to surrender to Tomochiin-don (Ashikaga Takauji). The Ashikaga family still insisted on fighting in the Southern Dynasties for many years. They did not surrender until Tomochiin-don issued a letter from the imperial teacher and promised to use Mikawa's skills to secure the blockade" "I didn't see you. There are so many secrets that you know! How can a lowly warrior like you know these secrets?" Jueqing looked back warily. Matsuki Nagahide quickly lowered his head humbly, and Jueqing immediately snorted: " No matter where you heard the secret, you must remember your duty and never interfere in the internal disputes of my Ashikaga family. This is not what you should do!" Matsunaga Hide continued to pretend to be a grandson, lowered his head and said continuously: "Yes! We have absolutely no intention of doing so! We are just afraid of the world-shaking power of Kwant身 K身f身. If Kwant身 K身f身 is allowed to invade the Eastern Kingdom, even if His Highness the Shogunate K身f身 is never allowed to inherit the throne, it will not take three to five years to complete the integration of Kant身. His rule will then follow the old rules of the Genpei era. How dare he! This is disloyalty and unrighteousness! In this angry mood, if Ashikaga Yoshitoki was lucky enough to be present at this moment, he would definitely draw his sword and chop him into seventeen or eighteen pieces, then cut off his head and hang it on the Sanjo Bridge to "show his head" as a warning to others.
