On the evening of August 16, 1559, Honda Masanobu arrived at Ishiyama Honganji Temple, surrounded by 3,000 elites, not just 100 rivers. The seventeen-year-old owner appeared to be like the Venerable Master and went out of the city to greet him.

That night, after receiving the evidence from the Honda Masanobu, the Venerable Master gave the order to cleanse the Ishiyama Honganji Temple. The young man who wanted to be the emperor of the law and the soon-to-be-emperor asserted his authority with killing and blood.

Three days passed, and Honganji Temple was carried out of Ishiyama Honganji Temple by the sound of conch trees, followed by the most powerful Honda Masanobu, as well as a group of samurai with the smell of blood, and tens of thousands of believers chanting the Buddha's name.

In the course of three days, a lot of things happened, two people were put under house arrest by Honganji Temple, and countless people were killed. The tall walls were filled with the smell of blood, and at midnight you could even hear the sound of ghosts crying wolves, completely devoid of the solemn appearance of the Buddha hall.

The two people who were placed under house arrest at Honganji were all his closest relatives, one was his grandmother Keisuin Jineini, and the other was his mother Shineneng. They were his closest relatives after all, but the blood that flowed from the dead was the same as his.

Honganji has a solemn expression on his face, and he is not as crazy as he was a few days ago, no one will uncover this scar, not the person concerned, let alone outsiders, everyone wants to bury this matter in the depths of their hearts. It increases his authority, but it makes him less sacred.

Honganji Temple is a temple of descendants, and generations of descendants are descendants of Qinluan, and successive generations of suzerains will describe the inheritance as being granted by God. Now God's authority has been destroyed in blood and slaughter. The only thing left is authoritarianism.

Honda Masanobu is on a horse. Follow closely behind the Dharma driver, meditate on Nan Mu Amitabha Buddha, and look at the Honganji Temple on the driving without looking at it. Knock Honganji Temple as if from the throne of the gods, and establish the shogunate of Honganji Temple as a mortal.

The speed of the Dharma is worrying, but the darkness of the night cannot stop the fanatical heart of Honganji, who knows that the affairs of Ishiyama Honganji will soon be revealed to the world, if he does not get the grand prestige. Branches everywhere will inevitably rise up in droves.

At night, the Dharma drove slowly, and beside the road, huge fires and continuous torches were as bright as day, and Honganji Temple greeted Honda Masanshin to the side of the Dharma driver, and said, "Yahachiro, do you want to tell me if it is appropriate to bring so many soldiers and horses to Luo together?" ”

Led troops into Kyoto to persecute the imperial court, such a thing has only been done by the Ashikaga clan in history. However, Ashikaga Zun was accused of being an enemy of the DPRK and criticized for hundreds of years. Although it is the Ashikaga clan that has become the general of the expedition, they are also respectful of their ancestors.

Honda Masanobu knew that Honganji Xianru had retreated, which was the psychology after the fanaticism, and he wanted to dispel the idea of Honganji Xianru's cowardice, and said: "Yuanping has been fighting for power for thousands of years, and you sing and I will appear, and if you want to reverse this common sense, you have to water it with blood." ”

Hearing this, Honganji Xianru said worriedly: "We must not be thieves to the enemy, so as to give others an excuse to crusade against us." ”

Honda Masanobu glanced up at Honganji Temple, shook his head, and said, "Venerable Master, do you still have any leeway?" If we can't make a decision on the spot, the hearts of the Pure Land Sect will not be able to remain unchanged. Now we have 30,000 elites, 500,000 believers, and if we have great righteousness in our bodies, we can give the last few years of rectification time if we defeat the traitor Date Masahiro in the western country. With the rush of time, the Venerable Master's prestige grew, and it was not difficult to establish a ******** earthly Buddha kingdom. ”

Honda Masanobu's generous statement once again touched Honganji Temple. In fact, Honganji Xianru also knew in his heart that he was now difficult to ride a tiger, and he glanced back at the direction of Shishan Honganji, as if he saw the spirit of injustice floating on the Buddhist hall.

No matter how slow the pace is, there will be a time when it will come to an end, and the shadow of the Onin War a hundred years ago will once again loom over the hearts of the people of Kyoto. The people of Kyoto have not yet recovered from the fire of a few years ago, and it is as if they heard the sound of rumbling footsteps hitting the ground.

The people of Kyoto, who had long been accustomed to disturbances, had known by word of mouth that the Horocha of Honganji Temple was coming to Kyoto, that they had already learned the news of the defeat and escape of Ashikaga Yoshiteru of Katsuryuji Castle, and that there was a legion of tens of thousands of people stationed in and around Nagaoka-kyo and beyond.

Kikutei Kirihiko, who temporarily lives in a manor on the outskirts of Kyoto, heard rumbling footsteps outside the manor, and the old servant ran in without manners and reported: "Old, old, lord, Pure Land Shinzong, they are from Pure Land Shinzong, they are driving into Kyoto!" ”

Kikutei Kimihiko originally fled to Okayama with his son and daughter to join Date Masahiro, Kikutei Kimihiko originally wanted to marry his daughter to Date Masahiro as a continuation, but he never succeeded, and Date Masahiro was slow to Luo, so he returned to Kyoto alone with a few old servants.

Unfortunately, the house where Kikutei lived was destroyed during the Great Fire in Kyoto, and now he can only temporarily live in the manor of a merchant on the outskirts of Kyoto, who knows about Kikute's relationship with Date Masaki.

Juting Gongyan Huo Ran got up, he trembled and said: "You say, what do you say, they, they dare to drive into Kyoto!" Let's go, let's go to the palace immediately, only there is safe now! "Juting Gongyan really deserves to be the wild princess who went south and north.

The relationship between Kikutei and Date Masahiro was not known much at first, but as Date Masahiro was loyal for many years, Kikutei Kirihiko's status grew. Now Honganji Shangluo,It's rumored that the relationship between Honganji and Date Masahiro doesn't seem to be very good.,If there's a villain slandering him.,Living in the suburbs isn't a death.,You can't hide.,Only by entering the palace can you have a thrill.。 Although the emperor's authority is diminishing, he will still give the emperor three points of face, and besides, the victory between Honganji and Date Masaki is undecided, and the emperor will also spare his life, so there is a way out to contact Date Masaki.

Kikutei Gonghiko immediately dressed lightly and hurried away with two old servants dressed as ordinary merchants. No sooner had they left, and the whole estate had been whistling like locusts, and the whole estate had become in ruins as if it had been gnawed by locusts.

Originally, the career is entering a climax. You don't have to look so ugly. Even rogue emperors such as Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had to make three chapters of the law when they entered Guanzhong. Covenant with the Father, the three chapters of the law; The murderer dies, wounds and steals.

The 30,000 elites as the core may still be able to ensure the food supply, but the nearly 500,000 believers on the periphery can only be self-sufficient, how can they be self-sufficient.

Honganji Xianru can't take care of these now, and he doesn't even care about the infamy of the enemy ****. He still cares about these side branches, and his only thought now is to make the Pure Land Masamune the state religion of the Wa Kingdom, and he will become the Emperor of the Law and gain great prestige.

Kyoto has been in ruins after the Onin Rebellion, and after nearly 80 years of turmoil, it is still much better than the poor countryside where these believers live.

For a time, Kyoto was in chaos. Wasuka Masakatsu originally wanted to stop it. But Honda Masanobu persuaded him at the first time, and Wasuka Masakatsu sighed. Said: "It is obvious that the Venerable Master has no way, but only knows how to go to the royal reward and the image of the beginning of the country." ”

Honda Masanobu shook his head and said nothing, how could he know the truth of the three chapters of the covenant, even at the time of the Onin Rebellion, Kyoto would not be like this, and a group of poor people would not enter Kyoto. Kyoto was the first place, and the Onin Rebellion was a struggle within a group of ruling classes, and now it is a revolt of a group of ruled classes.

After this incident, Honganji Xianru will certainly be condemned by countless people in later generations, but on the contrary, the emperor's authority will be completely knocked to the dust after this battle, and the emperor will be bullied by a group of samurai who will kill them at will, but the emperor is powerless to resist.

In Kyoto, almost every house, the followers of the Pure Land Shinshu sect frequently went in and out, sometimes cutting off a few heads of unknown rebels, hanging on bamboo poles to promote their martial arts, and most often they carried bags of rice on their backs, surrounded by all kinds of items, whether luxurious or simple, as long as they saw all fell into their hands.

The followers of the Pure Land Shin Sect generally act in small groups of hundreds of people, one can not be afraid of any hardships and obstacles, and the other is to defend the fruits of their victory.

The large-scale looting is even more destructive, and Kyoto has caused devastating damage, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recover if it is not vigorously rectified and built.

Kikutei Kimihiko was dressed in simple civilian clothes and crawled into the Zichen Hall to report the news that thousands of people had rushed into Kyoto and were coming to the palace. As a result, more than a dozen ministers were stunned on the spot, and His Majesty the Emperor was also trembling with fright.

The young Sekihaku Konoe was forced to be calm for a long time, but he was restless and emotionally nervous, he became the post of Sekibai at a young age, but it was a relationship with the emperor who was both prosperous and lost, and hurriedly took two steps on his knees, knelt in front of the emperor's car, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to move to Mount Hiei." ”

As soon as the guard's words came out a long time ago, the Zichen Hall was silent, and the ministers who were originally crying raised their heads one after another, obviously they were crying mostly pretending, and all the ministers were speechless in shock. Yamashina Yanji shouted loudly: "Zuofu is alarmist, is Your Majesty still Your Majesty leaving Kyoto?" ”

Konoe didn't answer for a long time, but pointed to the outside of the hall and said in a trembling voice: "Listen to the cries of the inhabitants and look at the thick smoke, what can you feel from it?" They are burning and looting, they are robbing everything they see, they are not here to meet Your Majesty, but to destroy Your Majesty. ”

The ministers cried even louder, their influence on the samurai was very bad, but the samurai could still treat them with three points of courtesy, but the impact on the one had always been as bloody and brutal as a flood of beasts, very terrifying, and notorious.

Yamasha Kyoji knew that he had been wreaking havoc outside the Imperial Palace, but he also knew that once the emperor left Kyoto, the embarrassed and angry Honganji Xianru would set up another emperor to come out, and I was afraid that another northern and southern dynasty would come out, so he insisted on his own philosophy and said: "Your Majesty can't go, now you can only compromise and seek perfection, Honganji Xian will give him whatever he wants, he wants to make the Pure Land Shinshu the state religion, he will give him the status of the state religion, he wants to become the emperor, he will give him the emperor." ”

Kikutei Gonghiko couldn't listen to Yamashin's shameless traitorous remarks, and he couldn't listen to it anymore, and scolded: "Major General Hugh is arrogant, Your Majesty can still protect his authority by moving to Mt. Hiei, but if he falls into the hands of Honganji Xianru, he will be ruined." ”

Kikutei Kimihiko saw the fire in Kyoto, and thought in his heart that he was afraid that the imperial palace would not be safe, so he should flee to Mt. Hiei, and if he had to besiege Mt. Hiei all the time, it would be better to find a way to find a safe place when the time came, so he agreed with Konoe Maehisa.

After all, Yamashi Kyotsugu belonged to a small number of people, and they had more knowledge than those in high positions, and they were sober, but their status was really not high, so it was naturally difficult to influence the emperor's decision-making.

On the night of August 18, the second year of Eiroku, Emperor Hohito (known as Emperor Shokincho) escaped from the palace at the suggestion of a group of ill-intentioned ministers and went up to Mt. Hiei.

The next day, Ashikaga Yoshiki of Sakahonkan left Hosokawa Fujitaka to stick to Sakahonkan, and led more than 100 people to go up to Mt. Hiei to meet Emperor Fangren.

Honganji Temple, who entered the Imperial Palace, heard that Emperor Fanghito did not wait for his arrival, but ran to Mt. Hiei, and when he was sad and angry, he didn't know what to do, when Miyake Asahi appeared in front of him with a small novice.

Miyake Asami pointed to the little novice and bowed: "Your Majesty, this little novice's grandfather is the widow of the only son of Kokura Palace Seijo, the grandson of Emperor Go-Kameyama, and temporarily lives in a temple on the outskirts of Beijing. ”

Honganji was interested in the sound of "um", but there was still some hesitation in his heart, and said, "What evidence?" ”

Miyake immediately ordered someone to send a wooden box, and said: "The minister found one of the three artifacts in the temple, the Eight Mirrors, and asked Your Majesty to check it!" "The Eight Mirrors are actually a bronze mirror, and the back is engraved with auspicious patterns such as pine, bamboo, plum, turtle and crane.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty brought back a large number of bronze mirrors, and whether the bronze mirror sent by Miyake Asami is really one of the three artifacts of the Eight Mirrors, then only God knows the person concerned, but Miyake Asami insisted that this was one of the three artifacts.

Honganji Xianru took Xiao Shami's hand, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Well, yes, before the Kokura Palace sect was exiled to Island, he entrusted his pregnant wife to the Hasushi people, and the Hayashi people took in their mother and son. (To be continued.) )
