The Ashikaga family is the direct descendant of the Hanoi Genji family who came from the same line as the Minamoto Yoritomo. After the three generations of the Minamoto Yoritomo became extinct, they once became the pillars of the Minamoto family.

After going through the Heian period, the Kamakura period, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, it is now the No. 1 family of samurai families in the world. The genealogy is clearly laid out, and it is really not a concept compared to the Genji lineage that was forcibly verified by Tokugawa Ieyasu later.

"Because you are my son."

Having said that, Ashikaga Yoshimasa walked up to Takashiko, "Because you are my son, I can forgive your unreasonableness. I put this fan in at the beginning."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa is his father, don't be kidding, this stupid king is not like his father.

Takashimitsu resisted the shock in his heart. At this time, he would rather believe that he was a wild boy who was born by his master Ikkyu Sojun with some brothel girl than that he was the illegitimate son of General Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

"I do not believe."

Takashiko shook his head, feeling extremely terrified in his heart. After Ashikaga Yoshimasa died, the subsequent shoguns would become the puppets of Kanling and other daimyos. A special skill that each generation of Ashikaga shoguns needed to practice was running and running.

The sixth-generation general Ashikaga Yoshinaka died in an assassination, so the No. 13th-generation general Ashikaga Yoshiki was basically killed openly.

Traveling to such a precarious shogunate regime that is about to collapse at any time, it is better to hang out with the emperor. Although you can't afford rice cakes anymore, you won't starve to death anyway.

He didn't ask why he threw himself into the river since he was his father, and even ignored him. He vaguely remembered that when he was just born, he seemed to have made some kind of moth, and he spoke, then It is not surprising that he was thrown away to keep him safe.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

Ying Siguang shook his head, and said three times in a row that he didn't believe it, his eyes were full of tears, it seemed that it was useless to say that he didn't believe it.

"That's the truth. It's just that the name of the light seems a bit bad, and the words of the letter become Yuan Yiguang."

Yoshimitsu Ashikaga frowned. Minamoto Yoshimitsu is a well-known figure in the Genji family, because Minamoto Yoshimitsu's reputation for killing ghosts is not inferior to the legendary military general Minamoto Yoshitsune, but Minamoto Yoshimitsu is not affected by Ashikaga at all. See you later.

Because Minamoto Yoshimitsu killed his elder brother and nephew in order to compete for the pillar of Genji, which made Ashikaga lose his status as the pillar of Genji that was once within easy reach.

"I think it's a good name."

Takashiko was helpless, and when he heard Ashikaga Yoshimasa wanted to change his name, he quickly said that if he changed his name again, his entire name would be completely different.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe Xiao Guang is my brother..."

Just as Ashikaga Yoshimachi was pondering, Ashikaga Yoshinaka rushed into the room and said three times in a row of disbelief.

"What does this matter have to do with you?" Ashikaga Yoshimasa looked at his son in surprise.

"It's related, of course it's related, Xiaoguang is mine..."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka couldn't speak, he was stunned, what should he say.

Chapter 107

Ying Siguang saw Lord Taishan once again, and Lord Taishan, who was dressed in white clothes as a public official, did not show his true face from the beginning to the end, as if hazy in a fog.

"The ceremony is complete, you can go back."

Lord Taishan's voice sounded, mysterious and unpredictable. He clearly knew that this was just a little awareness of the coming of Lord Taishan, but he also felt as powerless as facing the heaven and earth, unable to resist.

Ying Siguang suddenly felt that his body was getting cold, his body was losing consciousness little by little, and he was about to die, just like the call of the great god Huang Quanjin, just a word can deprive people of their lives.

"No, no, I refuse!"

Ying Siguang said loudly, looking at Lord Taishan, who was dressed as a public servant, raised his head and stared at him slightly, the fog disappeared, revealing a beautiful woman's face.

"Sister, is that you?"

Ying Siguang looked at Lord Taishan, and the person who appeared in front of him was his sister, Maki, why did his sister become Lord Taishan.

Lord Taishan just smiled and didn't answer, and finally disappeared into clouds and mist.

…………

"No, no, sister, don't leave me..."

Ying Siguang woke up suddenly, yelling to surprise the people around him.

"Don't make a fuss, right now you are offering sacrifices to the mountain king Quanxian. It would be terrible to offend the mountain king."

One Kaneyoshi pulled Takashimitsu together, and many monks in the bonfire were carrying gods and spirits, gathered together and were chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Ying Siguang rubbed his head, it seemed like he had a dream just now, he actually dreamed that Lord Taishan was his sister, it shouldn't be that Lord Taishan appeared in front of him in the image of his sister in the dream.

Does this situation seem to be seeing the future?

"Is the king of the mountain sitting in it now?"

Ying Siguang looked at the beautiful Shenyu, and he could feel the majesty just by standing there, so he didn't think about Taishan Fujun anymore.

Sanwang Quanxian is the chief worship deity of Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine. The favorite thing for Japanese monks to do is to carry the Sanwang Quanxian's god and go to the court and the shogunate to complain.

If you don't agree, I will stop here. If the king of the mountain is exposed to the sun and rain, your court and shogunate will be finished.

In order to achieve their own goals, the monks forcibly petitioned. If you don’t agree to our request, you will carry the gods at the gates of the shogunate and the imperial court without saying a word.

In the end, either the imperial court or the shogunate could only hold their noses and agree to the monks' request, not to expose the power of the king of the mountain to the sun and rain.

Even Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the strongest general in history, had nothing to do with this group of monks. In order to suppress the monks, he simply became a monk directly, and forcibly placed at the top of Buddhism as the lord of the general.

In the Heian period, the Emperor Baihe, who once held great power and established the government as the ruler of heaven, once said that he was unsatisfactory, and the last one was this group of monks.

The imperial court and the shogunate all had the same attitude towards the monks' claim that the king of the mountain had moved out of the gods and came to force, and they should regard unreasonable as reasonable, which was clearly stated in the emperor's edict.

The lawsuit filed by Shanmen cannot be ignored.Starting from Takashi Ashikaga, Yoshimitsu, the general of the three generations, and even the evil Lord Fang Ashikaga Yoshinaka did not please the monks of Mount Hiei, because the god carried by the monks was too big.

In fact, some people may ask, why are monks carrying gods and gods? Isn't this as absurd as monks worshiping Sanqing in Taoist temples.

In fact, this is not the case. Sanwang Quangen is the patron saint of Mount Hiei of Tendai sect. Quanxian is a Buddhist term, and it is the temporary incarnation of Buddha and Bodhisattva to save the world.

The power of the mountain king is just an appearance. The body of the person is a Buddha. As for which Buddha it is, it is the Tathagata Buddha, the World Honored Sakyamuni.

Buddhism is the state religion, Buddhism protects the country, and the safety and security of the country is the credit of the Buddha.It is based on this kind of thinking that the monks raised the power of the mountain king to blackmail the court and the shogunate, and they had nothing to fear, and finally had to agree to the monks' request.

God Amaterasu is great, but the power of the king of the mountain is even greater. Specifically, it can be described as such, this god is 800 million gods, and all the gods in the world are the manifestation of this god.

Who is older and who is younger is completely a matter of rhetoric, but the problem is that when Buddhism was introduced to Japan, it symbolized the advanced civilization of the Tang Dynasty, and the monks' chanting really worked.

A rich set of systematic theories, when it was introduced to China, defeated the Chinese mythology system, and it was not possible to use Taoism to establish Taoism to fight against it.

Even if Taoism can't parry Buddhism, it is difficult to launch a counterattack, let alone Shintoism.

It is also because of this that the sacrifice to Shanwang Quanxian is the first among the three major sacrifices.

It is also rare for Yixiu Zongchun to read Buddhist scriptures seriously and intently. Buddhism can educate the people and protect the country, and it is precisely because of this that he is welcomed by the rulers.

The monks retreated. In fact, these monks are not only monks, but also part-time priests.

One of the results brought about by the harmony of gods and Buddhas in the middle ages of Japan is the family of gods and Buddhas. Gods are Buddhas, and Buddhas are gods. Therefore, even the priests of a certain shrine are sometimes appointed by monks. This has a nice name. The abbot of the shrine is as wonderful as the temple master of Shaolin Temple.

Ying Siguang looked at Shen Yushang's pervasive divine light and Buddha's light, and realized in his heart that the modern divine light and Buddha's light have been equal and separated, and it is impossible to be entangled like they are now, with the Buddha's light above and the divine light below.

"The King of the Mountain is now about to leave."

Yiyi Jianliang nodded, holding a sacrificial letter in his hand. This is him, as the Taizheng Minister and Guan Bai, offering sacrifices to Haotian God on behalf of the emperor.

This is the Yulinghui, but it is completely different from the previous Yulinghui. It is a large-scale ritual used to appease Sugawara Michizane, Hirashomon, and Emperor Chongde.

Because of praying for the peace of the world, basically the famous shrines are praying for this matter, and even moved out three great gods.

As the youngest son of the shogun's family, he represented the Ashikaga family to participate in this sacrifice. Although the emperor and the shogun were somewhat concerned about this sacrifice, they still did not come in person.

One prayed silently in the imperial palace for the blessing of Amaterasu, and the other prayed for Hachiman Bodhisattva, Baiqi Daimyojin (Minara Yoritomo) in the imperial palace, and Minamoto asked for blessing. Great divine power has never been as effective as his ancestors in protecting himself and his family.

Amaterasu God is the ancestor god of the royal family, the god of clan.The Hachiman Bodhisattva is the patron saint of Genji, the god of the family, and it is always the god of the family who can protect the family.

The beautiful article was recited by Ichijo Kaneyoshi. The Japanese may not have a high talent for writing Chinese poetry, but writing Chinese is still a piece of cake.

The word God first appeared in the Confucian Bible—the Five Classics. In the original mythology and religious system of ancient China, it refers to the supreme god.

Literally means "Superior Emperor", meaning "Supreme Ruler", also known as "Emperor", or "Heaven".

Since Confucianism seized the power of national ideology, God Haotian was the supreme god of official worship. Until the Qing Dynasty, the status of the end of the monarchy was always firm, and Confucianism can be said to share the same fate.

The Haotian God worshiped this time is the Confucian god worship and belief passed down from the Tang Dynasty.

"Tang Liu Dian" records that the historical object of the winter solstice garden hill sacrifice is God Haotian, who is personally sacrificed by the emperor. If the emperor cannot personally sacrifice, he has to send one of the three princes to perform the sacrifice.

Emperor Hengmu and Emperor Wentoku also offered sacrifices, and ordered them to be "Jiaoye Festival". However, when the World Honored One arrived in Japan, he became the king of the mountain, and the God of Taiyi became the Lord of Mount Tai when he arrived in Japan. Naturally, the God of Haotian in China also became "Tenjin Haotian God", which has Japanese characteristics and national conditions, is directly translated as "Tenjin".

As the Minister of the Taizheng, above the prince, this theoretical three princes in Japan, as the substitute Kanbaiichi Kaneyo is very suitable.

In particular, Yiyi Jianliang, who has the treatment of the quasi-sangong, is himself treated as a prince. The sacrificial oration imitates the sacrificial oration of "The Great Tang Kaiyuan Ceremony", and the writing is quite beautiful.

As for whether the gods are willing to respond, it's hell.

Just like what Sai Palace said, offering sacrifices and praying is like a shrine maiden dancing Kagura dance to pray for rain. If she dances well, it is the divine virtue of the gods.

Soon the sacrificial text was finished, and it seemed that it was the turn of Taishan Mansion Lord to offer sacrifices.

Chapter 108 Trinity Sacrifice

Taishan Fujun Sacrifice is the highest level of sacrificial activity in Yinyang Dao, among which the highest specification is the "Tiancao Jifu Sacrifice" to communicate with Taishan Fujun. It is generally a noble sacrifice used only when the generals are in power and the emperor ascends the throne.

Ying Siguang had enjoyed the treatment of the emperor and the general, so he became curious about the sacrifice.

Tiancao represents the government in the sky, and the underworld is the mansion of the Lord Taishan. Both the power in the sky and the authority of the underworld are in the hands of the Lord Taishan, which is enough to illustrate the godhead of this god.

"Do you know what is the most noble sacrifice in China?"

Ichijo Kaneyo looked at the god official Yoshida Kenju next to him, the onmyoji of Onmyoliao was preparing something, it was not the sacrificial ceremony of Onmyodo.

"Mount Tai enshrines Zen." Yoshida Kanetsu replied, seeing a Kaneyo, shook his head and said, "That's just a ceremony to declare heaven, not a ceremony of sacrifice. The highest sacrifice is the sacrifice of Trinity."

"In the Trinity Sacrifice, the objects of sacrifice are 'Heavenly One, Earthly One, and Taiyi', but this time the sacrifice is actually a sacrifice to the Taishan Mansion directly."

Yiyi Jianliang stared at the bonfire, and said slowly, "It is recorded in "Historical Records·Leshu", that the Han family often went to Xin Temple on the first month to go to the Taiyi Oasis Spring, and to go to the temple at dusk and end at dawn. There are often meteors passing through the temple. On the altar, there are 70 boys and girls all singing. Spring song "Qingyang", Xia Ge "Zhu Ming", Xia song "Xi Hao", winter song "Xuan Ming". There are many in the world, so don't worry about it."

"It's easy to find 70 boys and girls, but what are these four songs that Sima Qian didn't write in Shiji?"

Yoshida Kenju frowned. These four songs were not written in the historical records, because they were widely circulated, so Sima Qian decided not to record them. But the fact that they were circulated in the past does not mean that they are circulated now. It is possible that they suddenly composed waka instead.

"Although Sima Gong didn't write it, Ban Gu recorded the original text in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". I have translated it into waka and let these children sing it."

One Kaneyo said lightly, and Yoshida Kanetsu showed a wry smile on his face. On the one hand, he admired His Highness Guanbai's talent and learning, but on the other hand, he just felt helpless, "Is it okay to translate?"

"The Amitabha Buddha we read is not in Sanskrit, so we can still go to the Western Heaven. The Lord Taishan has great powers, so how can he not understand Japanese. Besides, it is impossible to train these children to sing waka in Chinese in a short time. We can only drive ducks to the shelves. gone."

Kanbaiichi Kaneyo said helplessly that if he had time, he wouldn't use such a clumsy ceremony.

"Why don't you have time?" Yoshida Kanetsu asked.

Ichijo Kaneyoshi covered his face with a fan and said in Yoshida Kenju's ear, "The shogunate refused to pay, saying that it was cheated by Master Ikkyu of [-] kan, and there was a deficit in the finances. The court has no money, do you think It doesn’t cost money to summon these eminent monks and children.”

"There is a saying in the art of war. The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The shogunate is going to hold a general's enthronement ceremony. It is said that Yoshimasa is going to build his Ginkakuji Temple. These children are found by Master Ikkyu from refugees who don't know where. Children, equip them with a set of outfits, and give them a few big white steamed buns, and the court will soon go bankrupt. Even if I am Guan Bai, it does not mean that I can cover the sky with one hand. Look at this, the court will not be able to hold it for half a year It's Zhaoyi."

Yiyi Jianliang sighed helplessly, he really had a hard life, he encountered the Yingren Rebellion when he became Guanbai, even his family's hundreds of acres of land were robbed by the samurai below, and he still had to clean up the mess .

"This, is it really so miserable?" Yoshida Kenju felt inconceivable. After all, it was the imperial court, with so many manors under its control, how could it say that if there is no money, there will be no money.

"It's not a question of misery, it's a question of poverty. The emperor has wanted to abdicate for a long time, but the crown prince needs money to succeed to the throne. If you don't have money, you still want to retire. If you don't have money, it will be even worse. Becoming the emperor is satisfying." Food, if you become the emperor, you might have nothing to eat."

Guan Baiyiyi Kaneyoshi said sadly, it is simply a gentleman sweeping the floor, a gentleman sweeping the floor, dignified officials, and descendants of the Fujiwara family, they actually have to make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, and they can only correct articles on weekdays and publish some story books to make some money to use.

The children's songs were being sung, and Ichiyo Kaneyo stopped complaining. What's the use of talking to this god official, he was hoping that the shogunate would restore its authority and end the troubled times again, so that it wouldn't have to be so miserable.

"If you do this, you will not be able to summon Lord Taishan."

Ying Siguang said suddenly, wondering why he would say such a sentence.

"How do you know?" asked Jianliang, "I have done the ceremony perfectly, basically revived the old sacrificial ceremony, the four songs are even more consistent with the seasons, and the sacrifices begin at dusk. It doesn’t end until dawn, this is the ritual of helping the sun.”

"What is the Ritual Assistance Ceremony? I don't understand, but I just think it's not enough for His Highness Guan Bai to do so." Ying Siguang rubbed his head, for some reason he just felt that the one-day Kanara Ceremony could not summon Lord Taishan Come on, it is clear that this ceremony is not inferior to Taishan Mansion Monarch Sacrifice.

"Qingyang is literally the rising sun, Zhu Ming is the red sun in the sky, Xi Hao and Xuan Ming can also be understood as the setting sun of the west, and the dim setting sun. That is to say, these four poems The song is actually the sun throughout the year, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Taiyi is originally a ceremony of the sun god, so there is nothing wrong with it.”

One Kaneyoshi explained, "In "Kojiki", the dispute between Amaterasu and Susanoo had to hide in Tianyanto, which actually represents the sunset of the sun. In order to restore the sun, that is, Amaterasu Vitality, that’s why the Kagura dance and the frolicking ceremony are regarded as the ceremony of helping the sun, just like a solar eclipse, our behavior of shooting the sun (tengu) can be regarded as the ceremony of helping the sun ceremony."

"Government with virtue, such as Beichen, Taiyi God is the North Star, so it needs more stars to protect the glory, just like the behavior of Amaterasu who came out of Tianyanto, it can naturally be regarded as the devotion and help of the gods, Bringing vitality to the sun god."

A Kanehara said calmly, if it wasn't for the fact that the other party might have something to do with the gods he saw many years ago, he wouldn't have explained so much to the child.

He is a unparalleled celebrity in this country, not only Song Confucianism, but even various historical books and classics, which are not inferior to the former Sugawara Michizane.

"You are not Taishan Fujun after you summoned it. Taiyi is Taiyi, and Taishan Fujun is Taishan Fujun. Although the two are one, their performance is absolutely different. It is like the harmony soul of Amaterasu and the wild soul."

Ying Siguang's face turned pale, and he shouted to the children who were singing, "Stop singing, stop singing..."

Qingyang starts to move, and the roots come to fruition.

Anointing and loving, the feet are caught.
