Chapter 389 Kyoto, Emperor, 500,000.
Almost at the same time, the Yinge Temple in the foothills of the East Mountain in Kyoto, also known as Cizhao Temple, is called the East Mountain. The founder of the temple is Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the eighth general of the Muromachi shogunate, and the ancestor of Kaishan Cizhao Temple is a dream window.
In fact, Dream Window shu shi is a figure about a century before the establishment of the temple, so it is called "persuasion to open the mountain". Yinge Temple was also a villa. Ashikaga Yoshimasa built Guanyin Hall in the temple. When it was built, it was planned to decorate the outer wall with silver foil, but when the construction was completed, it was not coated with silver foil. It was renamed Cizhao Temple, commonly known as Silver Pavilion Temple. This name echoes the "Jinge Temple" (officially known as Luyuan Temple) in Kyoto.
The temple has Guanyin Hall Silver Pavilion with the pool as the center, and the Dongqiu Hall of the Buddha Hall and other buildings. At this time, he was about the same age as the shogun, and the young Emperor Guangge was hesitant, looking at the few people kneeling on the floor in front of him, including warriors, monks, and ministers.
"...However, the general's family certainly does not want me to deal with this matter." Emperor Guangge's heart is also full of uncontrollable excitement. Yes, in the hearts of the people of the country, the emperor is a god, but when he thinks about himself, the god of the earth, he is not even qualified to leave Kyoto.
He can only live under the supervision of his name, and can only survive under the eyes of General Tokugawa. This kind of saying is not even as happy as when he was a monk.
And Emperor Guangge was not a kind person. Because the emperor's biological father, Prince Norihito, was not related to the throne, he hoped to add the title of Emperor Taishang to his father to show his filial piety. However, the shogunate thought that this would be a chaotic name and opposed it. After communication between the two sides, the shogunate finally agreed to compromise by increasing the treatment of Prince Norihito's thousand stones. However, Emperor Guangge lost several cronies, loyal ministers and confidants.
However, it can be seen from this that Emperor Guangge is not willing to be a puppet who can only be flattened by the general's family at will. He hopes to gain greater power, just like the North Korea in the west or the emperor of the powerful central empire, with supreme power.
Therefore, he added the title of Emperor Taishang to his father. He was just testing the world's name and the general's reaction to see if the world's name was still willing to lick the toes of the Tokugawa family in front of the Tokugawa family. Unfortunately, the result made him very frustrated.
--------------------
Except for a few distant feudal names that expressed their limited support to him, other big names did not dare to fart at all. He could only see his loyal subordinates become the victims of this honorable incident. Although he got a thousand stones, when he thought of those big names, Tokugawa The land controlled by the family is tens of thousands of stones, hundreds of thousands of stones, or even millions of stones, and the Tokugawa family has millions of stones.
And he, a dignified emperor, can only live a meticulous life, and even his subordinate ministers. Some people can only survive by receiving help. Thinking of this, Emperor Guangge's heart, which has made the Buddha's scriptures have been smelted into peace, can't help but hurt secretly.
Hearing Emperor Guangge's helpless sigh and the very melancholy words, Takayama's heart couldn't help dripping blood. He turned his head and looked at a monk in black standing next to him. Master, please say something.
After the monk sang a Buddha's name, the expression on his face did not change at all. Your Majesty, please be relieved, the general's family will definitely come to you, and they will sign a treaty with the Qing Dynasty in your name.
"Why is the master so sure?" Emperor Guangge wanted to stand up, but as the emperor's reservedness, he couldn't help it. However, his face was full of expectations and eagerness, which was not much less than those warriors, monks and ministers who knelt on the ground.
"...When the time comes, the natural waterway will be completed." There was a faint smile on the monk's face, which could even be called a mysterious smile, so that everyone's questions could no longer be asked.
"However, in order to give your majesty some confidence, the poor monk has some secular things presented to your majesty, so that your majesty can also be rewarded..." The monk took out a thin piece of paper from his arms and presented it respectfully with his hands.
After the Gao Shan Zhengzhi received it in his hand, he couldn't help taking a breath of cold air: "Two hundred thousand taels."
Only this exclamation made the eyes of all the princes, warriors and monks in the Guanyin Hall flash with an unbearable light of greed. Two hundred thousand taels is equivalent to 500,000 yuan, and in this era, in Edo, you can buy two stone meters for each consistent text, and 500,000 yuan, which is one million stones.
The daily life security of the emperor and the imperial court came from the tribute of the shogunate and the local princes, but after the Tokugawa shogunate, the security of their lives was also far from that of the previous martial rulers. Just like these honorable events, Emperor Guangge paid a lot of manpower and material resources. In exchange, the result was only an increase of a thousand stones. It can be seen how stingy the shogunate was to the emperor and the court.
This also accumulated the dissatisfaction of the royal family and the court with the shogunate to a considerable extent. The monk in front of him suddenly took out the wealth equivalent to a million stones, but his eyes did not even flash. When these Guangge Emperor and the princes were grateful, they had to admire the generosity and generosity of the monk.
"This, such a heavy gift, I..." Emperor Guangge took over the thin paper that can be directly exchanged for 500,000 Guanwen in Osaka, Edo, Nagasaki and other big cities in Japan. He felt that both hands were trembling, and there was a feeling of tears on his face. He really didn't have seen so much in his life. Money, even ten thousand articles, are difficult to see.
--------------------
Originally, Emperor Guangge wanted to say a few words to show his reservedness as His Majesty, but when he saw the red eyes of his warriors and princes, as well as the old-fashioned and even patched court clothes on them, Emperor Guangge closed his mouth and silently and resolutely took this weight. After the light note was folded with great care, he put it in his arms, and then respectfully made a Buddhist salute to the monk: "Master, I really can't repay it."
"We thank the master for your help on behalf of Your Majesty." The princes and warriors did not dare to neglect, so they quickly saluted the monk.
"A little vulgar things, in the eyes of the monk, are not as good as a bowl of clear soup and a plate of pickles." The monk is still in the old well. All the monks present recited the Buddha's name together, and their faces were full of admiration.
"The common things are over, and the poor monks quit first. I don't know which master has the time, but I can lead the poor monks to look in this Ci'en Temple. I have heard the name of Kyoto's Ci'en Temple for a long time, and I haven't seen it. I hope you can let the poor monks see it." The monk in black took a breath and shook his sleeves, as if he wanted to get rid of all the tacky on the clothes, and then asked the monk present.
"I dare not be, the poor monk is willing to lead the way for the master." The host of Ci'en Temple quickly came over, respectfully saluted the senior monk, and respectfully led the way sideways.
The monk in black looked back and smiled faintly at the Guangge Emperor and the princes, then turned around and left the Guanyin Hall behind the host of the Ci'en Temple.
"It's worthy of being the holy monk in the land of the Tang Dynasty..." Emperor Guangge, who once entered Shamen, was full of envy and worship.
"In this way, only in the Tang Dynasty, which has been known as the 'Ring of the balance', can there be such a great holy monk." The ministers next to him couldn't help stroking their palms and sighing. If it weren't for the venue, and there were confidential and important things to talk about, they might have to sing a peace song on the spot to summarize what happened today.
"Qingshanqing." The light on the face of the Guangge Emperor with 500,000 yuan seems to be more majestic and solemn at this moment. As for his subordinates, they all think so that the current emperor is more worthy of their loyalty and death. After all, the higher the loyalty, the more rewards you can get from Emperor Guangge. Everyone is not a fool. At this time, no matter how ambitious people are, they will have to use three knives and six eyes to express their loyalty.
"Weichen is here." Gao Shan Zhengzhi quickly fell to the ground. Your Majesty, please tell me."
"Your loyalty can be expressed as the moon. I am deeply gratified, but, the holy monk..." Emperor Guangge still has some doubts. This can't be blamed on him. After all, it is normal for the emperor to be a puppet for too long.
"Weichen is willing to use his family name to guarantee that the holy monk is definitely for my kingdom. For your majesty, you can become the king of the world like your majesty in the Tang Dynasty. All he needs is to be able to vigorously promote Sinology in our country and make our two countries more harmonious. The high mountain said loudly.
"Your Majesty does not give up, and he pulls his ministers in the grass. Although I am a martial artist, I also know that I am loyal to the king to serve the country and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Even if I use the surname of my minister, I will not hesitate to do it." Gao Shan Zhengzhi's head hit the floor and slammed.
"Such a loyal minister is the blessing of your majesty. Your Majesty, I think it's time for us to change the world. A minister also bowed to the ground and said loudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the kingdom of origin should change the sky." All the ministers and warriors, and even a few monks who stayed here, roared in unison, as if their howling could make the Japanese country change its face.
