Chapter 1157 Stabilizing Internal Affairs

On June 10, 2016, when the Takeda family began to evacuate the Mikawa area and the Tokugawa family began to quickly occupy the area where the Takeda family was evacuated, Masara hosted a guest in Suruga Kunjun Prefecture Castle.

This guest is a monk, whose name is Mingquan. This monk is a representative of the local temple shrine forces. Not long ago, Masara had just met with the representative of Yixiangsen in the Mikawa region. After learning about the local temple shrine forces in Tokaido with Masara Masara again with Masara Masara Masara decided to follow the previous policy of his second son Nobura Ra, that is, to implement the policy of sacrificial certificates.

When the first son implemented this scheming in the Yuanjiang area, he had initially received strong support from this monk Mingquan. To express his gratitude, Masara also specially sent some coins and other gifts to the other party, and invited the other party to meet again today to discuss the comprehensive promotion of temple rules in Suruga and Yuanjiang areas.

After the two sides met, Zhengliang recruited Master Minquan to cook tea in the tea room. As soon as he sat down, Zhengliang said, "The master previously received only two thousand guans from my thanks. The law was not in harmony. My family issued another four thousand guans. I asked the master to cast a golden body for my Buddha, and it just took a try to add two thousand guans. Can it be?"

"Great charity, we must follow the rules. On the contrary, I am attached to the appearance and be taught carefully." The monk Mingquan is solemn and has a peaceful demeanor, so he can naturally make people feel good. When it is appropriate to say "be taught", even Zhengliang was influenced by him, and a warm current floated by his heart, and he calmed down.

Is this the meaning of Zen and quietness? Zhengliang felt it for a moment and said, "Master's cultivation is improving day by day, and Zhengliang admires it."

"Sir, it's over-reputable."

After the courtesy, the political conscience was closed and his face was shaking. Monk Mingquan also gathered his mind to listen. Afterwards, his words must be a big deal.

"Master, I want to imitate the Ming Dynasty to issue certificates to monks in the jurisdiction to clarify the temples. Do you think it can be implemented?" Masayoro said that, looking straight into Mingquan's eyes. If such a major event is leaked, the gate will definitely flock to Ikki. Monk Mingquan is a high monk and an important representative of the local temple shrine. He disagreed and it is difficult to continue to promote it.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhengliang's words, Monk Mingquan did not answer for a while, as if he had just entered the silence first. If his chest was not still rising and falling, Zhengliang thought he had gone west. The tea room was as quiet as night.

"I admire you!" A few moments later, Monk Mingquan finally broke the silence. "What the adults have to do has never been in the Warring States Period. There are great opportunities and great risks. I have been favored by the adults, and I have to help them open up the way even if I have fought for nine lives."

"Master!" Zhengliang sat up halfway in surprise, "With the support of the master, big things can be done!"

With the cultivation of monk Mingquan, his status in Buddhism must be quite high. With him helping to stabilize the power of Buddhism, it will be much smoother to clean up the shrine first.

"Grand matters should be slow or not. Adults may have a draft of the rules."

"There are some." Masayora gave out the steps and the Mind Spring that he had thought of before. He was steady and rectified. In the name of changing the land and blocking land, he drew clear the boundaries of the shrine and issued certificates. If he was in line, he would praise him and expel him. After completion, he would greatly strengthen his internal control.

"Well, it's feasible, but it's good to grasp the details." After hearing this, Mingquan expressed his opinions and rules. Zhengliang nodded while listening, clarifying the plan to expand in the tea room, which will be implemented soon.

The two of them came out of the tea room with a smile on their faces, as if nothing had happened. After saying a few words, Monk Mingquan took his leave and Zhengliang returned to Tianshou Pavilion.

Soon after, the first step of the temple plan was implemented. On the 15th day of the sixth year of Echon, the Imakawa family invited the Imakawa family to Sifang, inviting the owner of the shrine and the abbot of the temple to Suruga to attend the tea party, and asked everyone to enjoy the Imakawa family's treasure, Chidori incense burner.

Chinese porcelain was regarded as a divine object in the Warring States Period when culture was scarce. Special changes were produced by officials and were usually called famous objects. The meaning is right and wrong, powerful names cannot be enjoyed. The Qiandou Incense Burner is a famous product among famous products.

"This god can be regrettable if you can appreciate such a famous product with your own eyes." Many members of the society gathered in Suruga with the same expectations. However, only twenty invitations from the Imakawa family were sent, and those who did not receive the invitation tried every means to get one. The Shima Town of Junfu Castle suddenly became bustling again, and some of the weather was restored.

"The hosts and priests gathered in Suruga, and the business of the people was much better." The tailor businessman said happily to the neighbors: "The new dresses are half more than usual."

The neighbors buy and sell gold, silver jewelry, and their business is much better than usual. He replied: "The owner and the host are both celebrities, and they don't want to be compared at the event. The cost of the instrument is naturally more than usual."

"The king of the country can take out the Thousand Bird Incense Burner to hold a tea party, and it is wise and decisive than the previous king of the country. It's a pity that we don't have the opportunity to see it. Even if it's worth it to continue for a lifetime."

"We are just small businessmen, only businesses like Roche House or Jetchimachi Haoshang have the opportunity."

The common people have their own fun. All the people in Tomeng and Suruga countries who have some elegance are attracted by Masara's tea party. Bystanders are fascinated by the authorities, and those who are in charge are so simple. I am not a person in the game, and I don't know where the key lies.

"I'm afraid that the Imakawa family has a different meaning, right?" The invited practitioners have this feeling.

"The day before yesterday, I asked Shiro Shiro, the tea party may be the reason." Hachimangen Shiro, the practitioner of Tokai Shrine, said to his colleagues, "The Imakawa family made a request to affirm, it is nothing more than pacifying and encouraging the people, praying for blessings, and we will respect it. Take the opportunity to ask the Imakawa family to recognize our status so that we can rely on his luck. Then all of you who travel around the mountains and rivers. The dedicated practice of practicing is just like when Yoshimoto-kun was in power. When the Imakawa family's true luck is exhausted, we will change the door and join his master."

"But, Imakawa's clan is probably not as easy as Yoshimoto-kun, and he refuses to admit his status for nothing. How to deal with it at that time?" said a man who looked over thirty years old and elegant. He is the owner of the Tianshen Temple.

"Don't be afraid! As long as you unite and be united, Buddhism must have the same idea as us." said Shiro Hachimangen.

In another courtyard in Junfu Castle, Honzen Temple respectfully said to Monk Mingquan: "Master Imakawa, build a temple, tree a golden god, pay homage to my Buddha. I will support the resolution of Master Imakawa."

"Ami Buddha. Zen Master Mingxin Gao Yi. Some gifts are not respected, please accept them with a smile." Monk Mingquan clapped his hands, and the little novice monk presented twenty gold medals to each host. The Mingxin of the Benzhan Temple specially put in black paint and the incense box of birds and bamboos.

The great way of cause and effect is profound and mysterious. Today, the consequences are all good and bad in the future. After the monk Mingquan finished his meeting, he walked on the way back to the city and thought to his ancestor: "Today, I finally understand what the higher the cultivation level, the more awe he is."

This tea party held by Masarara in the name of Imakawa clan did make Junfu Castle lively. Under the city of Junfu Castle, many local monks hosted and shrine owners. A large number of civilians gathered in the surrounding areas gathered together, and the bustling was just like that of the past.

"Imakawa's family has only taken several months to make the Junfu angry. The methods should not be underestimated." The practitioners invited to Junfu had such an understanding in their hearts...

"The more the Imakawa family's true energy is, the more we will be." Hachimangen Shiro saw the disciple who was giving blessings to the civilians from the window and smiled with satisfaction, and said to the fellow disciples around him. "Can you all prepare? Don't lose your etiquette when you enter the city at noon."

"Haman Miyaji. We are ready for it and will not lose to those bald thieves." Everyone was wearing grand hunting dresses.

The grudges and entanglement between Shinto and Buddhism start with lying down. Monk Jianzhen traveled to Japan and brought the profound and profound Chinese Buddhist culture. It has complete theological theories and profound philosophical Scriptures, as well as the concept of cultivating life that is welcomed by the rulers. It quickly replaced Shinto and became the largest religion in Fusang.

The rituals and doctrines of Shintoism were only completed under the pressure of Buddhism. For hundreds of years, they had their own rise and fall, but they were generally at a disadvantage.

Shiro Hachimangen feels that this is an opportunity, and the power of the shrine can rise again in the East China Sea. The Buddhist power of the Three Kingdoms of Tokaido is strong, so it is natural to support the shrine to weaken the temples.

Just after noon, the Imagawa family envoy invited the club owner to enter the city. Hachimangen Shiro and others met the Imagawa family in Ninomaru Villa. The courtyard is built by Imagawa Yoshimoto, which contains the artistic conception of the four seasons in one courtyard and one courtyard. It is best to use it to taste tea and enjoy the scenery. The courtyard in the other courtyard is also called the Tea Court, and a straw shed is set up in the middle. Monks such as Imagawa family and Akishi have already sat there, just waiting for the shrine to arrive.

"Let's meet Lord Imakawa." After the club leader saluted, he sat down in the middle. The first position on one side of the shrine had been seated. Shiro Hachimangen knew that he was Omiyaji of the Asama Shrine: Tomoki Asama. He cursed the genius and sat down while he started.

Asama Tomoki ignored Hachimangen Shiro. He defected to the Imakawa family very early. His status has long been different, so there is no need to pay attention to the grassroots in his eyes. The people in the tea party, including the Imakawa Masa and Minzumi, a total of twenty-two people.

Everyone was here, and Imakawa Masashi said, "I am deeply honored that all the masters and the social leaders were invited to come. I will remember your contribution to the Imakawa family. I will take the opportunity of the New Year to invite you to express my gratitude." After following Masashira's side for several years, and returning to the East China Sea area for training for so long, Imakawa Masashi finally became a qualified family supervisor from a small surname around Masashira.

"You are polite to Lord Imakawa. The Imakawa family has taken good care of the Shimen. The Buddhists in the East China Sea should thank the adults." Honchoji Akihito said.

"We are also feeling the same as Lord Akihin, and we are grateful to the Imakawa family." Hachimangen Shiro said.

"I really feel your feelings. The opening of a tea party is also to bring you closer to you. Please continue to support the rule of the Imakawa family."

“Natural, natural, should.”

"Bang!" A bamboo tube filled with water was placed on the rocks, making a crisp sound. The scenery in the courtyard was imprinted into your eyes. Because of the season, tender buds were drawn from the trees and grass in the courtyard, and the warm sunshine and the sound of tingling water flowed, showing a vibrant meaning. Just like the rising momentum of the Imakawa family, it has just begun. Guests here must understand the host's care for the arrangement of the teahouse. This is an important part of the teahouse.

After enjoying the scenery for a while, Imakawa Masa invited everyone to sit in the house, and the "first seat" in the tea party began.

Sitting down, Monk Mingquan said, "Chu Carbon, I will add it to you." After that, I sat by the fire, added cherry trees and charcoal, used the fire hook to tick twice, and sat back to its original position.

The purpose of the tea party was to tell the thoughts. Everyone had a deep understanding in religion, and they were all human beings. They knew that Imakawa had something to say, so they all looked at Imakawa and waited for him to speak.

The time is ready, and Imakawa Shimabashi has given up bait: "Everyone, I heard that some hosts or social leaders have inherited their father Yiyuan, and they are worried that their father Yiyuan will change their temple and society policies. Please rest assured about this, and they will still implement their father's policies before their father, and even give more preferential treatment."

"I will issue certificates of tribute to all masters and members of the society as proof of the eminent monks and couples. Those who hold the certificates enjoy the courtesy of dismounting in front of the temple and the annual offerings of our family."

"Amibuta, Lord Imakawa, Gaoyi, Imkawa, and I thank you all." Akihi Shi bowed, and the other side of the shrine also bowed.

Imakawa's family returned the gift, "But when I was sorting out the land documents left by my father, I also saw your property. This year, I will also inspect the land and exchange my father's security for my family's security. Please cooperate with me during the bureau."

The person who had no ghost in his heart immediately agreed, and those who took advantage of the chaos to occupy the land should come down and make plans again. The people who were sitting in the practice were even more surprised. The issuance of the covenant certificate was equivalent to pardon, and the luck of the enjoyment was not the same as that of the day, and they were very happy to bow.

Everyone felt that the big thing had been settled, and the atmosphere in the tea room was relaxed. The topic gradually developed into elegant things. The Qianbird incense burner placed in the corner of the house was seen by everyone and asked to watch it.

The incense burner was placed in the middle, and the people who knew the elegance were repeatedly amazed: the incense burner is an exquisite product that you may not see in your entire life. The glaze of celadon and the undulating body of the incense burner produce a water-like visual feeling. The vermilion bird on the Lugu is the finishing touch, which enhances the overall nobleness of the incense burner, but does not make people feel luxurious.

"Only adults can use the Qiandou Incense Burner." Mingxin sighed.

"It is natural for adults to enjoy daimyos." Hachimangen Shiro followed.

Imakawa Shima smiled, "I'm grateful for the kindness I'm willing to give you, it's not too early, just serve tea and food." "Papa" slapped his hands twice, the door was opened, and more than twenty servants were carrying delicious food, lined up to enter, and placed them in front of all the guests.

First, the staple food was sashimi, soy sauce soup, and rice. After using it, there were side dishes, cooking vegetables, and grilled food.

After using tea, the guests go to the tea house to rest, which is "neutral". Then enter the tea room again, which is the "back seat". The back seat is the main part of the tea party. In a serious atmosphere, the host orders strong tea for the guests, then adds charcoal (back charcoal) and then orders thin tea.

Everyone sat around and kept silent. The atmosphere was serious but there was no previous sense of urgency. Practitioners who thought they had achieved their goals completely regarded it as a kind of enjoyment. The tea utensils were already slowed down when everyone was "neutral". The combination was a little heavy.

Imakawa really understands that he has just started at the tea ceremony and is difficult to enter the elegant hall. Fortunately, the helper that the lord Masayora had arranged had already been in place.

"I will order tea for you guys." Monk Mingquan said, and next to the ground stove in the middle, put an octagonal kettle on the ground stove, and add some clear water. The eyes of the guests present were sucked by the tea pot. People with sufficient cultivation even stared at it.

"That's the legendary octagonal cauldron?"

"It tends to be heavy tones, and it feels solemn, just like the sage when he is ordered. But the tea is covered with rosary decoration, leading the seriousness to the practice of meditation, and the seriousness means silence."

"The combination of tea sets is also serious and empty, which does not conform to the heroic and gorgeous temperament of Master Imakawa. But if Master Minzuki comes to order tea, he will think it is perfect."

“Does the Zen-oriented style have other profound meanings?”

After the tea party ended, Imakawa Shima gave each person another fifty-talk ceremony. Everyone accepted it happily and said goodbye one by one.

At the same time, Masarara looked at the people from the temples and shrines who had left one by one on Tianshou, but he said to himself: "The bait is fragrant, but the benefits may not necessarily fall on you. There is also the Yixiangzong, which is a way to slowly erode you."

(Thanks to "Baishi Jinglun" for his monthly ticket support;
