Three Rivers Butterfly Chapter 574 Father and son question each other

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the late autumn of September, the maple trees in the garden are as red as a burning fire. The rustling autumn wind blows into the corridor, and the wind chimes sway and make a crisp sound. In the courtyard, you can faintly hear the sound of bells in the distance. Every day  Anyone who comes here will taste a similar feeling, which is the wonderful power of tranquility and relaxation of body and mind.  This is Ashikaga Yoshitoki's favorite season, because he likes red-leaf trees and sees the beautiful scenery full of fire. This is in line with the mentality of the samurai family at that time. Even if he is on the battlefield thousands of miles away, he still maintains inner peace and quiet at all times.  , even if the sword and ax are deepened, it will not change at all. In the eyes of the warrior, life and death are sometimes as heavy as Mount Tai, and sometimes they are lighter than a feather.  Waka often laments the short time between spring and autumn. The free and easy wisdom pursued in the tea ceremony, the pursuit of belief in gods and Buddhas by samurai and eventually becoming gods and Buddhas, the graceful farewell words before death, etc. are all consistent with this beautiful scenery.  It fits. Hundreds of years later, a sage wrote: "Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves." It is exactly in line with the samurai spirit of this era. It is not a morbid spirit affected by dross.  The pursuit of samurai is not the gorgeous cherry blossoms, nor the pursuit of a moment of heroic glory like a shooting star across the night sky. What they pursue is a lifetime of enduring humiliation and heavy burdens, and their achievements will be known to the world. The ancient Ashikaga Takauji and the current Motonio Moto are among them.  , the gorgeous red-leafed trees in late autumn are the most suitable time for achievements to bear fruit.  Just after noon, the father and son sat opposite each other in the spacious study room. Ashikaga Yoshitoki filled a cup of clear tea with a purple clay teapot and said softly: "How have your studies been recently and what have you learned? Tell me about it." Ashikaga Jinohmaru  Bow down.  Said: "The child listened to Master Tianhai telling stories about the Tang Dynasty. One of them was about Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty. The wise and powerful emperor was called Tian Khan. The great emperor who founded the Zhenguan rule lived such a miserable life in his later years. The child couldn't understand it.  "I wonder why, Father?" "Why is Tianhai telling you such a profound story" Ashikaga Yoshitoki frowned, and he instantly understood what the monk was planning, and said secretly: "This is to be said through Jinoumaru's mouth.  Silent advice. Li Shimin has learned from the past and is really a cunning monk" Ashikaga Yoshitoki said: "The story of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is too complicated for you to understand at the moment. You will gradually understand it if you study harder.  Got it." "Yes! I have one more question." Ashikaga Yoshitoki raised his glass and sipped lightly, tasting the light aroma of the tea, and said, "Just tell me if you have any questions." "I don't understand.  Why is my father praying sincerely at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine? With the great power of the Kanto Ashikaga family, it should not be difficult for my father to go to Luo. Why is my father staying in seclusion at this time? " "Who told you this?  ? Tianhai?" Ashikaga Jinoumaru said with an unchanging expression: "This is what the child came up with." "Haha It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it at a young age.  He chuckled and said, "Do you still remember your question just now? Why did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty suffer such a miserable life in his later years? It was because his accession to the throne was unjust and unorthodox at first. This was later reflected in his children's repeated rebellions, and I had no intention of acting at this moment. I just didn't want to do the right thing.  A dishonest general, do you understand? " Ashikaga Shinoumaru suddenly said: "I guess you understand! Father, you want to be a legitimate general, and don't want to be a general who relies on strong power to force the world's martial arts to be reluctant to recognize him, right?  ?" Ashikaga Yoshishi smiled and shook his head: "That's not entirely true. I can rule the fifteen countries today, so why not rule the sixty-six countries in the future? I have to make complete preparations to launch an upright army. Today is different after all.  In the situation two hundred years ago, everything had to be ready in one go. The former had already had his status, while the latter was not ready yet, but it was about to be ready" Ashikaga Shinohmaru bowed respectfully and said, "My child.  I understand, I still have my homework to finish, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± ¡°Well, Jinoumaru is very interested in Zhu Xixue recently?¡± ¡°Yes! I heard that it is the study of saints, so¡± Ashikaga Yoshitoki said slowly.  : "Don't look at the Confucian pseudo-science. The whole article is full of deceptive words. There is only one sage in the world, Confucius, the sub-sage Mencius. Zhu Xi was a scholar in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the atmosphere in the literary world was gradually changing. It was not like when I commented on the Six Classics.  The Six Classics Zhuwei was changed to be popular, which means that the meaning of the Six Classics is expounded by one family. It would be fine if it was not regarded as a guide by Ming Confucians. Now it has become the sage theory of the Ming Dynasty, and was misinterpreted by the Confucian scholars into a chaotic school full of general dogma.  "But after reading some of it, my child seems to make a lot of sense" Ashikaga Yoshitoki shook his head and said: "There are thousands of ways in the world, so how can the Buddha's wisdom be inferior to him? It's not surprising that Zhu Xixue expounded some of the ways.  , don¡¯t do it just because it contains truth.?Gullible, some truths may seem perfect, but they are actually divorced from reality. Remember that the more beautiful something is, the more false it is, such as the moon in the mirror.  " Ashikaga Jinoumaru said cautiously: "Father seems to hate Zhu Shixue.  " "It's very annoying, because Zhu Zixue's emphasis on the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules conflicts with the system of our samurai family, which is about benevolence and devotion to the public, and leads to a more sensitive issue, whether the samurai are loyal to the general or the emperor.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki said solemnly: "Jinoumaru thinks, who should the samurai be loyal to?"  " "You should be loyal to the general!"  The pillar of the martial arts family and the most brave family in the world seems to be the title given to Taro Hachiman by the emperor back then.  A faint smile appeared on Ashikaga Yoshitoki's face: "That's right. The fact that you can recognize this fact shows that your mind is still very clear, but some people can't see through it and think that they can achieve success and fame by being loyal to the emperor, such as Shin.  Tian Yizhen and Kusunoki Masashige are examples. There will be such scum of the martial arts family in Zhu Zixue. If Zhu Zixue has the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, what kind of things does Zhenwangmaru think such people will do?  " "My little child doesn't know" "My ancestor of the Genji family in Kawachi is King Jingji. The document says: My ancestor was newly born, and he preceded Jingji, he preceded Prince Zhenjun, and he preceded Emperor Qinghe As you can see from Zhenoh Maru, I, Kawachi  How many aliases does Genji have?  " Ashikaga Shinohmaru bowed and replied: "The Wu Family Genji, the Kanto Genji, and the Minamoto Family.  " Ashikaga Yoshitoki laughed and said: "So there was no general who conquered the barbarians during the Genpei era.  Only the pillars of Genji.  Or it would be right to call him the pillar of the Yuan family.  The Genji of the Wu family is the tribute given by the imperial court to the Genji of Kawachi. The Genji of the Kantš­ family got its name because our ancestor, Taro Hachiman, took root in the Kanto region during the battles of 9 BC and 3 years later. The martial arts all over the world looked up to the Genji of the Minamoto family, and only in the Genpei era did they have the right  The general established the Kamakura shogunate with glorious achievements, so what does advocating loyalty to the emperor and patriotism mean to our Minamoto family?  I would like to ask which king of the martial arts family in the world should be loyal to, and whose country should they love?  " Ashikaga Jinohmaru was confused. With his wisdom, he could not solve such a complicated problem for the time being. Ashikaga Yoshitoki would not tell him how big a disaster the introduction of Zhuxue into Japan would bring. In another time and space, it could be called a disaster.  The disaster, the ethical code often seemed so picturesque that the Tokugawa family also vigorously developed it, and the result was a rare and rare Tokugawa Mitsuaki. This cultural man with extremely excellent literary talent, his personal character and actions can not be considered wrong.  Even far better than his contemporaries, he devoted his life to summarizing the gains and losses of his predecessors. In addition to compiling history books, he also did one thing, which was to vigorously develop Zhu Xixue and advocate the idea of ??loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. So Mito, one of the three imperial families.  The feudal clan became the stronghold of the anti-Tokugawa shogunate for various reasons. They gave birth to generations of people who were loyal to the emperor and regarded the Tokugawa generals as enemies. Of course, they criticized the Tokugawa family from a standpoint that was completely separate from their own class.  It is directly related to the Tokugawa family's creation of the "Forbidden and Incorporated Public Laws". Treating the emperor as a puppet is not new. What is new is that the Tokugawa family does not abide by the rules. They insist on stipulating what the court can and cannot do, and do not follow what he does.  Not only that, but he also treated the court harshly. A member of the Tsinghua family was given a few hundred shi and his salary was not as good as that of a Gao family. It was like treating a noble minister like a beggar, and the good minister of the emperor was treated like a beggar.  The Tokugawa family hated him to the core. Compared with Minamoto Yoritomo's eight visits to Shirakawain in Kyoto, the relationship between the Muromachi shoguns and the imperial court was really different after the Tokugawa shogunate was over.  On the basis of this, another strange thing was gradually elaborated called "History of the Imperial Kingdom". The predecessors planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. The person who initially emphasized this argument was the "God Emperor Orthodox Chronicles" written by the Southern Dynasty minister Kitahata Oyabo. That book was actually the book that established the  After the failure of Takeru's new policy, Kitahata Oikabo made a personal summary during the period of stubborn resistance in the Hitachi Kingdom. He firmly believed that the emperor was the master of the eternal lineage, and the world should be in charge of the Shokan family and their Murakami Genji. As for the samurai, they should return.  It was better in the previous era of ignorant countrymen, but it was a pity that his theory was not as good as a piece of paper for the Northern Emperor. Without Ashikaga Takauji, there would be no Northern Dynasty royal family to practice proclaiming the emperor from generation to generation, completely deposing the embarrassment of the two dynasties.  The origin of Kitahata Obobo is very interesting. The direct ancestor of Kitahata Sobo, the adviser of Ashikaga Yoshitoshi, his son was the famous Kitahata Sobo family. He relied on being a close minister of Emperor Go-Daigo and rose to the position of quasi-minister with his underground family background.  Of course, we have to cheer for Emperor Go-Daigo's policies. Without the authority of Emperor Go-Daigo, he is obviously nothing. The ministers in the Southern Dynasties are basically members of the common people, such as Konoe Nobutada and Kitahata Oikawa.  It¡¯s almost the same. The direct descendant of the Murakami Genji family is the Kuga family, and the tributary of the direct branch is the Nakain family. The next descendant is the Kitahata family, a family that is not even related to the Habayashi family. The only person who has the nerve to make him a quasi-minister is the bare commander Go-Daigo.  The emperor is alone.The intermittent mania of the ministers does not last for a day or two. The Jokyu Rebellion brought down the curtain once. Emperor Gotoba felt that the Minamoto Yoritomo line was extinct and it was a good opportunity for the Hojo family and the imperial family to confront each other, so he launched a war to overturn the curtain and almost destroyed his own family.  All the family property was lost, 3,000 manors were confiscated in one go, and large areas of Kinai and Saigoku that were not under the jurisdiction of the Kamakura shogunate were also brought into the hands of the shogunate. The Hojo family exiled three emperors in one go, which was a tragic failure.  The family of the Ashikaga shogun of the Muromachi shogunate was very smart. They reused the Hino family, a close confidant of the Northern Dynasty emperor, and also set up a temporary official position to serve as a leader. From then on, almost every generation of shoguns became friends with the Hino family's daughters. Shogun Shukan  The level is getting higher and higher until Ashikaga Yoshimitsu reaches its peak. This is the glory of the Ashikaga family and the glory of the Minamoto family.  But at the end of the Tokugawa period in another time and space, there were "people with lofty ideals" who believed that the first three generations of the Ashikaga family were traitors and must be pulled out and beheaded. But what should we do if these three people have been dead for hundreds of years?  Then simply pull out the wooden statues that have been enshrined by the Ashikaga Shogun family in Kyoto for generations, and chop off the heads of Ashikaga Takauji, Ashikaga Yoshiki, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and it will become a sensational event.  From the side, it reflects the bullying nature of these "lofty ideals". They dare not demolish the Toshogu Shrine all over the place, so they take it out on the Ashikaga shogun family who have been dead for hundreds of years. They may also shamelessly say that Ashikaga Takauji is even more dishonored than Tokugawa Ieyasu.  Respect the emperor as if it was Ashikaga Takauji who ruined the Kentake New Deal, not Emperor Go-Daigo's arrogance and arrogance.  This ugly farce and the subsequent distorted social form in Japan have their origins in the great rise of Zhu Xixue and Yangming School. Such works as "Yin Yin" distorted the true meaning of the royal family and advocated that, like the shade of the leaves of a tree, people can't see it.  The local lord sacrificed his life to serve the public. The combination of the two created the ridiculous bushido that later encouraged death and loyalty to the lord and patriotism. Of course, the scum like the shogun must be kicked away. Minamoto Yoshiie and Minamoto Yoritomo are both antiques. The samurai family is something of a backward era.  It must also be completely abolished.  The absurd bushido, the crazy and sick samurai society, the stupid and arrogant Tokugawa generals, all of these are like pictures, spinning in Ashikaga Yoshitoki's mind like a revolving lantern, no matter what the reason is.  Neither the interests of one's own class nor years of experience allow such crazy things to happen.  Ashikaga Yoshitoki walked up to Ashikaga Jinoumaru and squatted down gently. He put his hands on his young shoulders and said softly: "Jinoumaru, you must remember that your future is the pillar of the Minamoto family, and there are millions of soldiers under your command."  , the general who rules over billions of people, don¡¯t betray yourself, betray everything you own and are proud of, just for a book or a set of theories, let alone betray your ancestors, your shoulders  It carries the pride of my Genji!" "Yes! I remember it!" Ashikaga Jinoumaru nodded seriously, and then said after a while: "Then how will I face those scholars in the future?" "Ignore them, culture?  The communication between people is free, as long as you remember that the Wu family does not get involved, there will be no trouble if you let them make trouble." Looking at Ashikaga Jinoumaru's leaving figure, Ashikaga Yoshitoki chuckled: "I was like him back then.  When he was young, he left his hometown with a dream of revitalizing the martial arts family. After so many years, Zhenwangmaru has grown from a baby in swaddling clothes to an adult. I can no longer restrain him like before, so it would be good to let him know something in advance. Next year  It's time to hold a Yuanfu ceremony for him" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! ps: The promised outbreak will be released on the 30th, thank you for your support. ps: If you vote for it, it will be updated.  Please vote one day in advance to get the tickets, thank you!
