According to the season, the middle of June can be regarded as the middle of summer, but the climate of Kibi Kogen is much cooler than that of the Seto Inland Sea coast, Kyushu and other places, Date Dan Shokan is built between a hill and low mountain, the weather is still refreshing and pleasant, the sun is bright but not blazing, whether traveling, or at home, it is quite comfortable, the midsummer of the Wa country is different from the mainland weather is as harsh, the highest is only twenty or thirty degrees of weather in the eyes of the traveler is quite comfortable.

In the courtyard of the Date Danzheng Pavilion, Zhengheng, who came to the hall yesterday, was facing the courtyard sprinkled with the morning sun, holding a copy of "Huang Bai Xiyun Zen Master Transmission of the Heart Method" from the Great Jue Zen Master Dongdu.

The Rinzai Zen Yellow Barberry sect that emerged from the Wa Kingdom was established in the Edo Shogunate period, and it has now become a must-read for Rinzai Zen monks. He was originally familiar with the remnants of the Diamond Sutra left by the master, and since his deed, he has copied the "Heart Transmission Law" from time to time to watch it in his spare time. He said silently: "The teacher said that all Buddhas and sentient beings are only one mind, and there is no other way. This heart has no beginning, has never been born or destroyed, is not green or yellow, formless and phaseless, does not belong to existence, does not count old and new, is not long or short, not big or small, more than a qiē limited quotes, traces treated, when the body is, the idea is obedient, like a void, there is no boundary, unmeasurable......"

Zheng Heng silently read the content of the "Transmission of the Heart Method", but his thoughts had already run elsewhere, from the tatami mat next to the low table to take a sip of his cup of lukewarm tea soup, chatting at the seemingly uninhabited mountains in the distance, but what he was thinking about was how to deal with the provocation of the Shingon sect of the imperial family, he seemed to travel to make those who were not willing to be lonely think that they had chosen to compromise and jump out to make trouble, so that he could catch it all at once, not for the countless useless work, he didn't have so much time to play with them slowly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to a rural place like Date Danshokan to escape the heat.

The reason for his trip was also quite appropriate, he was a disciple of the Rinzai sect himself, and the ordination was just a ceremony, so there was no need to invite the Kyoto temple to send a Zen master to come and teach the Dharma. It is a bit hasty to find a Rinzai temple to enter the Tao in the same way as Takeda Shingen, but it doesn't take half a year to prepare. But it just shows his piety, and no one has found a reason to discriminate, so that people who are unwilling to fail can jump out boldly and boldly, so that the people of the Date family can see who is right and who is wrong.

The place to find a place to build a family temple should not have been outside the Date Dan main building, after all, this place is at the junction of Bichu Bizen, and most of that Myokanyama is in the territory of the Iga family. The construction of a temple on Mt. Myoki was a taboo for the Iga family, and if the Iga family was angry, the more than 100 people of the Date Dan Main Hall would really be unable to resist the Iga family's move, and they could only retreat. The Shinmiso Karamatsu area is the old leader of Date Masahiro's old father, Soheng, and it is also his birthplace, and there is a home temple of the Date family there, and the bones of Date Soheng and Date Shinhiro are buried in the temple.

The choice of Date Dan Shokan as the home temple of the Date family looks more like Date Masaki tracing the history of the Date clan in China. In fact, it is not for the sake of his ambitions. Zhengheng, who is only eighteen years old, will of course be extra attentive to the slow implementation of the plan contained in his heart. Date Danshokan is located at the junction of Bizen and Bichu, on the edge of the Iga clan's sphere of influence, the gateway to Tsutaka County. As long as the temple can be built on Mt. Myoken, whether the Iga clan admits it or not, it will cause friction and filth between them and the main Matsuda clan.

Once the Matsuda clan blamed the Iga clan for this, the Iga clan had only two paths to take, one was to destroy the temple on Mt. Myoken, and the other was to completely separate from the Matsuda clan. Of course, even if they lent the Iga clan ten guts, they wouldn't dare to destroy the temple on Myokan Mountain, and if it was just an inconsequential temple, it wouldn't cause conflict if it was destroyed or not. However, it has been spread in the world that the temple on Myoki Mountain is the home temple of the Date clan, and the temple is buried with the father and brother of the legendary head of the Date clan, whether it is still buried in the temple or not. If there is a destruction incident at this moment, it will definitely provoke public anger, and China will inevitably rush out, and the Iga clan will not be able to resist it, nor will it be able to obtain the treatment of surrender, and there is only one way to go. That's what balances are for. He still remembers that the Matsuda clan sent troops to aid Ishikawa Hisachi that day, flaws must be reported is the character trait of every qualified daimyo of the Warring States, no matter how much he can endure, at the end of patience will inevitably be flawed will be reported, Tokugawa Ieyasu is known as the old turtle, the power of patience is known to the world, killing his wife and children just to survive, in the end it is not to kill the descendants of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife and children ended up in ashes.

After all, Masahiro is young, only eighteen years old, he does not have the shadow of Tokugawa Ieyasu's childhood, nor does he have the pain of his youth, once the life of an otaku breaks out, he seems to be a little out of place in the world, and he seems to be extraordinarily high-spirited, and his patience is far inferior to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and even compared to other big names who have grown up since childhood, his flaws will not be reported in a year or two, and they will immediately erupt. Even if he can't deal with the Matsuda clan in a short time, he will make it impossible for the Matsuda clan to settle down, sit comfortably and watch the commotion in China, and let the Matsuda clan have no time to take care of the affairs of China.

In fact, Masahiro was not aware of the dirty entanglement within the Matsuda clan, and only thought that it seemed to be calm on the surface, but in fact, there had already been violent turmoil inside, and the delicate balance had already been broken at the moment when he sent troops to compete with Ishikawa Hisachi, and the battle between the factions and lords fell into a life-and-death struggle.

The battle between the faction is always the eternity of the samurai family, even if it is a Qiē from scratch The Date clan will inevitably appear the signs of the faction, from the big point of view, the competition between the retainers of Aga, Tetsuta and the retainers of other regions, from a small age, you can see the competition between the military forces from the generals and the military forces from the old ministers, fortunately, the Date clan is an emerging force after all, and even the main family has only been making a fortune for more than a year, and the faction cannot be achieved overnight, and the emergence of signs does not mean that it has been generated, and competition does not mean infighting. Zhengheng is happy to see competition, and a competitive force is a dynamic force, and it is the time when the speed of expansion is the fastest.

The factional disputes among the old forces such as the Matsuda clan were not only a competitive relationship, but also full of bloody infighting, and they often did not treat their opponents peacefully for the sake of land and power, and often resorted to various means to deal with political opponents for the sake of some interests.

Although he knew the general situation of the troubled times of the Warring States of the Wa Kingdom in his previous life, he had read many materials of the Warring States Daimyo, and even read Yamaoka Shohachi's masterpiece "Tokugawa Ieyasu", but it was impossible for him to pay attention to the fate of a small remote family like the Iga clan, nor did he know the past of the Iga clan and the Matsuda clan, let alone the final ending of the Iga clan. He just did what he wanted, and building a family temple on Mt. Myoken was only his first step, and he wanted to see what decision the Iga clan and the Matsuda clan would make, and he would be happy to hear about it, and even after the Iga clan frantically destroyed the temple on Mt. Myoken, he would take the opportunity to attack the Iga clan in retaliation.

As long as the Iga clan is forced to make a decision, Shoheng will be able to reap a share of the benefits, especially since Niko Haruhisa is already seventy or eighty percent likely to launch a campaign against Bizen Province after the autumn harvest. Although his fabricated letter made things start in turmoil, Niko Haruhisa would not stop the campaign because of the internal strife of the Shingu Party, because he was a daimyō, a maverick daimyō, not a puppet of the Shingu Party or someone else. Since the conquest of Bizen Country has received the approval of Nizi Qingjiu, it can't be stopped because of a letter, not to mention that the current Maori family has long had no spare strength after preparing for China and Tao Qingxian's step-by-step pressing, and Bizen Country is just a piece of meat that can be taken at will in the eyes of Nizi Haruhisa, and it can also deter Bei China if it is about to leave, how can there be any reason not to do such a good thing.

Zhengheng really doesn't want to see the strong arrival of Niko Haruhisa, he prefers to see a Bizen country led by him, rather than Bizen country led by Niko Haruhisa. As long as Bizen Province was not under the command of Niko Haruha, he would be able to grab the greatest benefit in two or three years, and even move the castle from Matsuyama Castle to the Okayama area that he wanted more. If he obtains Bizen Province, nearly 400,000 stone high in Bizen and Bichu, he will have the opportunity to advance eastward to seize the rich and fertile Harima Province and the Miyoshi Nagakei to talk about it, and discuss with Tao Qingxian and Maori Yuan on the winning side, and take advantage of the chaos within the Nizi clan Shingu to seize the Misaku country to ensure border security, so that he will have the capital to compete for hegemony in Shangluo.

Now, Zhengheng understands that what he is looking forward to is nothing more than a bright moon in the water, since he knows that Nizi Harumu will not give up the plan to conquer the former country to deter China, he has to plan to gain some benefits in Nizi Haruhisa's conquest war, and since he can't be the protagonist, he must also strive to be a supporting role. It can be known that the Matsuda clan was on the side of Niko Haruhisa when he was fighting against Bizen Province, so he couldn't dig the corner of the "alliance" openly, let the Matsuda clan and the Iga clan get dirty, and even make the Iga clan rebel**, even if Niko Haruma couldn't blame the Date clan for this, and it was even impossible for him to raise troops to attack Torakura Castle in the deep mountains. Kibi Kogen is known as the land of sunny skies, but the heavy snow in winter is enough to crush the movement and morale of an army, and the time for Niko Haruhisa to conquer Bizen Province is only a month at most, and he cannot attack Torakura Castle in the deep mountains, and the lesson of Koriyama Castle of the Mori clan is close at hand.

When Miyahara Tanba sent the diplomatic envoy to report, Zhengheng had already snored lightly, opened his eyes slightly, and when he heard the funeral that happened in Hucang City, which was close at hand, he immediately smiled and said: "It will take effect so quickly, send a couplet to Hucang City, and send it generously." (To be continued.) )
