Chapter 92: The Lotus Rebellion 12

The fragrance of tea is curling, and the music is zhengzheng. 78 In the castle tower of Takamatsu Castle, Hisataka Ishikawa gave up the most comfortable hall, and Masahiro sat cross-legged on a tatami mat woven with rush, his eyes closed, boiling tea cakes, and the light and leisurely fragrance of tea diffused in the hall with the steam, beating to the sound of the zither. A black and gray samurai uniform was draped loosely over his body, and the two famous swords stuck in his waist fell on his knees, looking like a leisurely samurai. Dressed in plain men's clothes and wearing a purple hat, Mina Fujii pinched her fake fingers and plucked on the kite, white as jade, and with a light movement of her wrist, she played a melodious music.

No one can figure it out, but since Masahiro lived in Takamatsu Castle, he met with Hisataka Ishikawa and his retainers on the first day and appeased him. On the second day, after staying in the castle tower of Takamatsu Castle, he went his own way, and every day he either made tea and played koto, or laughed and scolded and danced a grand dance, as if he didn't care about the movement outside.

When Ishikawa Kutaka Sekiguchi Takanari came to inquire about the message, he always got a non-hurried answer, not only was the political balance not in a hurry, but even his retainers did their own thing, but a few young samurai were a little impatient to wipe their blades every day, but it was difficult to get more detailed information from their mouths, and only knew some of the Date clan's arrangements in bits and pieces.

Kanayama Castle's Katsugo Shichiro Saemon Captain, Nagara Yamajo Castle's Matsushima Yajiro, Kameyama Castle's Kiyokawa Atsutaro, and Koyama Castle's Taoshan Shinbei, although they are all young samurai, they are the confidants and retainers of Date Masahiro who are actually there, and every qiē shows that Masahiro has already been deployed when he enters Takamatsu Castle.

In the first few days, Ishikawa Hisataka and others were still as chic as Masahiro, thinking that the Shingon sect's imperial faction had launched a rebellion, and the news they received also made them feel a little relieved, and the number of rioters gathered in four or five days was only more than 2,000, and some of them were homeless people from Bizen Province, mixed with water thieves who fled ashore in the turmoil in the Seto Inland Sea. Since the executors of the Liantai Temple incident were water thieves, the monks obviously did not believe in the credibility of the water thieves, thinking that they were all the inner ghosts of Mogami Inari, and they began to attack each other without rioting.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and the burning of Jishoin Temple caused a larger riot, and the villages near Uno were overwhelmed by fanatical rage, followed by the mob holding the banner of "Wan" from the ruins of Jishoin Temple, all the way north along the Sasase River towards Mogami Inari Sohonzan, and all the temples along the way were devastated, and there was a crisis for a while.

Another war horse galloped into Takamatsu Castle, and immediately the samurai reported the news he had just received to Ishikawa Hissataka and Sekiguchi Takanari, who were anxiously waiting for the latest news. Originally, it was just a conflict with the Nichiren sect, but now I'm afraid that all the sects don't want to see them. ”

Ishikawa Hisataka didn't have Sekiguchi Takashi's optimistic feelings, he shook his head dejectedly, and said: "It seems that the Shingon Sect's Imperial Family faction is obviously not a sect that engages in riots, and it is not a counter-dog to draw tigers, and Kaga Storm is not so easy to learn, but It's Itahou's behavior that is really elusive, and there are many deployments that we can't understand." ”

Sekiguchi Xiaocheng's expression was solemn, his expression was solemn, he sighed slightly, and said: "Your Highness, the minister has figured out some of Idahou's intentions, is he trying to lead the disaster to the east?" I really can't figure out how Itahou's methods are so old-fashioned, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to be cautious about the Date family in the future. ”

Ishikawa Hisataka frowned and nodded slightly, although he didn't want to admit it, but in the face of a rebellion launched by the Imperial Sect of the Shingon Sect, his appearance was completely inferior to Date Masahiro, and he was in ashes while talking and laughing, and changed the topic and said: "It seems that the Matsuda clan has fallen into blood mold, I heard that Matsuda Motomori has just died, and the new lord Motohui has not yet established his prestige to face such a challenge, and if he doesn't do it well, his reputation will be ruined, and even if he is forcibly suppressed, he will have to break his bones." ”

Takasei Sekiguchi also counted down, but when he heard that Da'an Temple was in a sea of fire, he couldn't help frowning: "I'm afraid that there will be trouble at Kibitsu Shrine." "Kibitsu Shrine, located a kilometer from Daian-ji Temple, is a shrine near Takamatsu Castle dedicated to the great god Daikibitsuhiko who laid the foundation of today's Kibi culture and is said to be the prototype of the Momotaro story.

Ishikawa Hisataka said with a little reassurance: "Don't worry about Kibitsu Shrine, the priest of the shrine is the father of Toyama Takashi, the lord of Toyama Castle, and the two families have a relationship with each other, and Kibitsu Shrine is not so easy to fight." Kibitsu Shrine is known as the largest shrine in Kibitsu Province, with many shrines and many believers, and we have told them to be careful of mob attacks, so I think it will be fine. ”

Sekiguchi Takanari closed his mouth and said no more, the people of Takamatsu Castle knew that the various annual sacrifices of Kibitsu Shrine had always been organized by the people of the Ishikawa clan, and it was the ancestors of the Ishikawa clan who prayed for blessings, but since Toyama Takashi's father served Shinto and lived in seclusion at Kibitsu Shrine as a priest a few years ago, he changed the court, which made Ishikawa Hisataka resentful, and the people outside Takamatsu Castle did not know how many people shook their heads behind their backs, and their reputation plummeted, so they had to look at the face of their cousin Ishikawa Hisachi. Now that he heard that the Kibitsu Shrine had been robbed, Ishikawa Hisataka was too late to be happy, and let him run out to repay his grievances with virtue, but he really couldn't do it.

Hisataka Ishikawa heard the sound of the kite stopping from the direction of the castle tower, and said in a muffled voice, "Let's go, Idahou is afraid that he already knows what is going on outside." ”

Hearing the reports of Hisataka Ishikawa and Takashi Sekiguchi, Masahiro did not respond, raised his eyes and looked at the dark sky outside through the wooden door, and said: "The sky is overcast and it will rain heavily, and the water potential of the river will also rise, and the vicinity of Takamatsu Castle will become Zeguo." Saying that, he drank a cup of tea, pointed to Fujii Meina and said: "The two of you listen to the music with me, let the wind and rain go outside, I don't move, isn't it a kind of fun?!" ”

Brainlessly said, Ishikawa Hisataka and Sekiguchi Takashi thought they understood the idea of Zhengheng's troubles, but they still couldn't understand Zhengheng's words, and they were speechless for a while, so they had to sit aside and listen to the music with no interest. At the end of the song, the two drank a lot of tea in a chaotic manner and walked out.

Ishikawa Hisataka whispered to Sekiguchi Takasei: "Takasei, you will go and find out the tone of Daisuke in the palace later, and ask what the purpose of this Itahou is about?" Sekiguchi left in a hurry.

Seeing the two leaving, Zheng Heng stood up and stretched his waist, it seemed that he had been drinking tea and listening to music, but in fact, he had nothing to do but was paying attention to the changes in the situation, and when others were relieved by the riots, he was secretly anxious, whether he had not done a good job, and why he had not developed towards his expectations. When the news of the destruction of the Cizhao Temple came, his heart throbbed, knowing that once the outbreak broke out, it would be an uncontrollable situation, and he was secretly anxious about this autumn's rice, for fear that the rioters would burn the rice fields and coerce the people, but he didn't expect the rare kindness of these thugs. Today, I heard that the mob rushed into Toyama Castle and burned down the Da'an Temple, and the worry in my heart was finally put down, Fuchuan Castle is the territory closest to the Date family to Bizen Province, and after Fuchuan Castle is the territory of the Matsuda clan, the lord of Toyama Castle, Toyama Takashi is a close minister of the Matsuda clan, and now one of the elders of a family who is holding real power.

Zhengheng heard that Le Zheng was a little messy, and smiled and reassured: "Haruna, don't worry about your father's safety, Fuchuan City has escaped a catastrophe, and I will go to the Kurashiki area in a few days to appease the people, and you will go to see your father." Haruna Fujii hurriedly stopped playing, fell to the ground, and cried: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Zheng Heng waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't play, it's about to rain, give the tea soup to the retainers, let them warm up, but they can't drink." He stood up and walked to the edge of the corridor, and saw that the sky was overcast, and the distant thunder was loud, and the maids were shivering.

Noyama Masatomo and Yoshida Masanari hurriedly arrived, and when they saw Masahiro looking into the distance, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhengheng smelled a smell of wine, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked softly, "Daisuke Miyauchi has been drinking?" ”

Noyama Yoshitomo understood that although Zhengheng did not object to drinking, he was quite disgusted by drinking in the battle array, so he said calmly: "Yes, Your Highness, just now Sekiguchi Xiaocheng was invited, and after a few sips, that wine and His Highness's sake are completely incomparable, if it weren't for the frequent persuasion of wine, the minister was afraid that he would not be able to drink a sip, and he retched it with chopsticks before coming." ”

Zhengheng squinted at Noyama Masasa, clapped his hands and said: "Daisuke Miyauchi, Daisuke Miyauchi, only you dare to say that the wine in Takamatsu Castle is like horse urine in Takamatsu Castle, okay, when you go back, how much turbid wine you spit out will give you how much sake you want." ”

Yeshan Yichao's excitement overflowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Then he raised his head and said, "Your Highness, it's going to rain." ”

Masahiro pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, it's going to rain, Daisuke Miyauchi, do you remember the mob refugees we met in Yongchuan at this time last year?" It's so similar to what it is now, just one is trapped in the mountains and forests, and the other is able to flow around, but the rivers of the Ashimori River and the Sasase River are about to rise, and they can't come back. ”

Yoshida Masanari's eyes also lit up, he understood the conversation between the two, Da'an Temple is located east of the Ashimori River, which means that the mob has swam across the Ashimori River, once the river rises, the mountain road is difficult to walk, their only way out is to find a place to temporarily escape the rain east of the Asahikawa and west of the Asahikawa, and the target is only Kibitsu Shrine and Toyama Castle, no matter which place the Matsuda clan can not discard lightly.

Kibitsu Shrine has been worshiped by the people of the Matsuda clan for nearly ten years, and Matsuda Motoki has repeatedly visited Kibitsu Shrine, and the lord of Toyama Castle, Toyama Takashi, is the elder of the close minister faction who supports Matsuda Motoki's ascension.
