Chapter 16 Eleven to sixteen

eleven Battle at the bridge Takakura Palace fell off his horse six times on the way from Mitsui Temple to Uji. It is said that this is because he did not sleep last night.So a section of the bridge slab of Uji Bridge was removed, and Takakura Palace was allowed to enter Byodoin Temple to rest.When Liuboluo heard about it, he said: "Ah, Takakura Palace is going to escape to Nara, quickly catch up and get rid of him." Yukimori and Satsuma Shouzhong are the generals; the generals of Takedo [2] have Shangsong Shou Zhongqing, his son Kamisoutaro Judge Zhongzuna, Hida Shou Jingjia, his son Hida Taro the judge Jing Gao, Takahashi Judge Nagatsuna, Hanoi Magistrate Xiuguo, Musashi Saburo Zaemon Youguo, Etsuchu Jiro Bingwei Wei Shengsi, Shangzong Goro Bingwei Zhongguang, Evil Qibing Wei Jingqing, these people were the vanguards, with a total of more than 28,000 cavalry , crossed Muban Mountain, and arrived at the bridgehead of Uji Bridge.They estimated that the enemy was in Byodoin, so they shouted loudly.Gao Cang officials also shouted in unison.Liuboluo's men and horses walked in front and shouted: "The bridge is broken, don't fall." But the people behind didn't hear it, and they still rushed forward, pushing the people in front down. More than 200 people fell into the water. drowned.So the two armies occupied the two ends of the bridge and fired arrows at each other to start the battle.

On the side of Takakura Palace, Oya Toshinaga, Gochiin Tajima, Watanabe Sho, Harima Sho, Genta Tsukuru, etc., they shot strong crossbows, armor could not stop them, and shields could also be penetrated.Lai Zheng, the first three Taoists, was wearing a straight silk gown, covered with a white fern leaf-shaped armor sewn with thin blue leather strips.He seemed to have decided that today was the last day, so he deliberately didn't wear a helmet.The eldest son, Izu Mori Nakazuna, was wearing a straight silk gown with red ground and an armor embroidered with black silk. He did not wear a helmet because he had to draw a strong bow.At this time, Tajima of Wuzhiyuan pulled out the long sword from its sheath and walked up the bridge alone.When the people of the Ping family saw him, they shouted: "Shoot him to death, friends!" The archers who were good at archery bent their bows and set up arrows and shot them one after another.But the horse of the Wuzhiyuan didn't panic. When the arrow came from above, it would bend down, when it came from below, it would jump and dodge, and when it came from the front, it would fall with a long knife.Whether it was the enemy on the opposite side or his own partner, they were all stunned.From then on, people called him Zhanjian Tajima.

Among the monks doing chores, Tsutsui's Jingmiao Mingxiu wore a brown straight casserole, an armor with black leather stitching on the outside, a helmet with five neck guards on his head, a waist knife with a black lacquer sheath, and twenty arrows stuck in the quiver behind his back. Four arrows with black eagle feathers, a lacquered bow wrapped in vines and a beloved long knife with a white handle in their hands, walked to the bridge, and loudly signed up: "I think you have heard of it on weekdays, let me let you go today!" You are knowledgeable, I am Jing Miao Mingxiu, a monk who is a handyman in Mijing Temple and everyone knows it. One of the soldiers is worth a thousand, whoever has the ability, please come over and see how high you are." After finishing speaking, he shot the twenty-four arrows , One by one, the opponent shot twelve people to death and eleven people were injured.When there was only the last arrow left in the quiver, he suddenly threw away the bow, untied the quiver, took off his shoes with the fur facing outwards, and ran along the overhead beams of the bridge with bare feet past.The overhead stringers, which people dare not walk on, are like walking on the main road of the capital at the foot of Miaojingfang.He cut down five enemies who rushed up with the long knife. When he cut the sixth, the handle of the long knife broke suddenly, so he threw away the long knife and drew out his waist knife to fight.Because there were too many enemies, he resorted to various tricks such as spider feet, twisting twists, cross hands, somersaults, water wheels, etc., and swung his waist knife to slash and kill.Immediately cut down eight people.When beheading the ninth man, because of too much force, he chopped on the man's helmet, the blade broke from the handle, and fell into the river. Fortunately, there was still a dagger at his waist, so he fought desperately.

Acharya Qingxiu of Chengyuanfang had a monk named Yilai who was a powerful and agile monk. At this time, he also followed behind Miaojingfang to kill him. Fang passed by, so he pressed his hand on his helmet and said: "I'm sorry, Miaojingfang." He jumped over his shoulder and went to fight in front.Later, when the mage died here in battle, Miaojingfang was lucky enough to crawl and crawl back. On the grass in front of the gate of Byodoin, he took off his armor and counted the arrow holes in the armor. There were sixty-three arrow holes in total. There were five wounds, but fortunately none of them hurt the vitals. I bandaged each wound, wrapped my head with cloth, put on a white hunting coat, broke a bow as a crutch, wore low-tooth clogs on my feet, and chanted Amitabha's retreat. I went to Nara.

Following the example of crossing the bridge at Miaojingfang, the monks of Mijing Temple and the people of the Watanabe tribe rushed to cross the river by stepping on the stringers on the bridge.Some returned with the enemy's heads or weapons, and some were seriously injured and committed suicide by dissection, or jumped into the river.The killing on the bridge was in full swing.The samurai general of the Heike family, Zhongshou Zhongqing, came to the general and said: "Look, there is a fierce fight on the bridge. It is time to cross the river on horseback, but it is the rainy season in May, and the water is very strong. It is very difficult to cross the river. At that time, people and horses may suffer losses. Should I go to Yodo or Yuxi, or go to Hanoi Road?" Just as he was talking, Ashikaga Mataro Tadazuna, a resident of Shimono country, stepped forward and said: "Yodo, Yuxi, Hanoi Road, Are you going to let the warriors from Tianzhu and Cathay go to these places, or let us go? If you don't get rid of the enemies in front of you, once they enter the southern capital, the reinforcements from Yoshino and Totsukawa will gather, and it will be even more difficult to deal with. There is a large river called Tone River at the junction of Musashi and Ueno. When Chichibu and Ashikaga lost peace, they often fought here. If they attacked from the front, they should cross at Nagai, and if they attacked from the enemy's rear, they had to cross Kogasugi Ferry. Rushing over. In order to cross the river from the Sugi Ferry, Ashikaga persuaded a resident of Ueno, Nitta Idao, to help him cross the river, but the boats that were going to cross the river were destroyed by the people of Chichibu. Nitta Idao said: "No Crossing from here will always be a disgrace to those who hold bows and arrows. Even if they are drowned by the river, they will die. Hurry up and cross the river!' So they crossed with cavalry and infantry. This is Bandong【3】Samurai The usual method. Now that the enemy is fighting across the river, how can you care about the depth of the water! The depth and flow speed of the water here are similar to those of the Tone River. Come with me, all warriors!" After finishing speaking, he jumped into the water first.Then, Dahu, Omuro, Fukasu, Yamagami, Naha Taro, Dr. Saguan Kotsunashiro, Onodera Zen Master Taro, and Heya Koshiro all followed; , a total of more than 300 riders.Ashikaga Mataro Tadazuna shouted loudly: "Put the strong horse on the top and the weak horse on the bottom; where the horse's feet can step on the river bed, let go of the rein and let it go by itself; if it can't step on the river bed, tighten it." Let him swim with the reins. If anyone lags behind, let him hold the tip of the bow and walk. Everyone holds each other's hands and swims side by side. The rider must sit firmly in the saddle and step on the stirrup. If the horse's head sinks, it must be Pull it up, remember not to pull it too much. If the saddle is soaked in water, you can ride on the back of the horse. Be relaxed on the horse, and don’t take it lightly on the river. Don’t draw the bow in the river, the enemy will shoot arrows And don't shoot back. Pull down the neck guard, but don't pull it too far, so as not to hit the top of the head. Advance in line, don't sink into the water! Cross the water diagonally!" Under his command, three hundred There were many soldiers, and none of them lost a horse, and they all crossed to the other side.

-------------------------- 【1】Tibetan head and lieutenant general, so it is called head lieutenant general. [2] The original text is serving the general, that is, the general who leads an army as a warrior under the general. 【3】Bando, also known as Kanto, refers to the countries of Sagami, Musashi, Shangso, Hitachi, Ueno, Shimoshimo, and Mutsu located east of Hakone Pass.The people here are famous for their bravery. -------------------------- twelve Death of Takakura Ashikaga Mataro Tadazuna was wearing a rotten-leaf-colored straight gown that day, a red leather armor, a helmet with two horns on his head [1], a gold-decorated waist sword, and black and white carved feather arrows stuck in his back. A bow wrapped in vines, riding a gray chevron horse, the saddle is painted with gold, and is decorated with an owl standing on an oak branch.He stepped on his stirrups and stood up, shouting loudly: "Listen to you from a distance, and look at you from a distance, I am the tenth generation grandson of Fujiwara Hidego who was rewarded for killing Asamurai Shomon【2】 Mataro Tadazuna, the son of Ashikaga Taro Toshitsuna, is seventeen years old. If I am a man without official status, if I shoot an arrow at the prince, I am afraid I will be punished by heaven. However, it is good to match the bow and arrow, whether the gods and Buddhas bless you That's fine, the Heira family will take care of all this. If the three practitioners on the opposite side think they have the ability, please come over and meet me!" Saying this, he rushed into the Byodoin Temple and began to fight.

Seeing this situation, the general Zuo Bingwei Du Zhisheng ordered: "Cross over, cross over!" More than 28,000 riders jumped into the river and crossed to the opposite bank.The turbulent Uji River was immediately blocked by people and horses, and the river was blocked. Occasionally, it rushed out through the cracks of people, and its momentum was extremely fast and violent, and it could destroy everything.The pawns crossed the river closely behind the horses, and many of them did not even get wet to their knees.Somehow, the officers and soldiers of Iga and Ise messed up the formation of horsemen and infantry, and the river washed away more than 600 horsemen.Light green, crimson, scarlet, leather armors of various colors, ups and downs in the river, just like the red leaves of Shennanbei Mountain being blown down by the mountain wind, floating in the Longtian River in late autumn, blocked by dikes and making it difficult to flow Same.Among them were three warriors in red leather-trimmed armor who were blocked by the sweetfish trap and could not escape.Izu Shou saw it, and sang:

Ise warriors wear red armor, Ayu is made in the Uji River. These three people are all from Ise country, and they are called Kuroda Toshihei Shiro, Hino Juro and Otobe Yashichi.Among them, Hino Juro was an experienced veteran. He stuffed the tip of the bow into the crevice of the rock, grabbed hold of it and climbed ashore, and then pulled the two men up. All the soldiers and horses had landed, so they attacked the main gate of Byodoin Temple, coming in and out, killing and killing.In the chaos, Gaocang Palace had already fled to the south, leaving behind three Daoists to shoot arrows here to stop them.

The three Lai Zheng who entered Taoism were over seventy years old, fought bravely, were shot in the left knee by an arrow, and were seriously injured. They planned to commit suicide peacefully, so they retreated into the gate.But the enemy followed suit.At this time, his second son, Dr. Minamoto, judge Kanatsuna, was wearing a blue straight gown, armor sewed with Tang Ling, and rode a white horse on his crotch. He was shot, suffered severe facial injuries, and suffered unbearable pain.At this time, a servant boy named Jiromaru of the chief guard was a strong man. He patted his horse forward and wrestled with him, and the two rolled off the horse together.Although Dr. Minamoto Kankan Tsuna suffered serious facial injuries, he was a famous strongman. He finally pushed Jiro Maru to the ground and beheaded him. When he was about to stand up, fourteen or fifteen Heike warriors Get off the horse, put him on top of each other, and Kanetsuna is killed.Izu Mori Nakazuna also suffered multiple serious injuries and committed suicide in the fishing pavilion of Byodoin Temple.His head was cut off by Kiyomi Fujisaburo by the river and thrown under the wide corridor.Zhongjia, a Tibetan from Liujo, and his son Taro Zhongguang, a Tibetan, fought hard, beheaded many heads, and captured many weapons, but they also died in battle in the end.This person named Zhong's family is the legitimate son of Mr. Yixian who brought the knife. He lost his parents when he was young and became an orphan. The three entered Taoism and adopted him as their adopted son. They loved him very much and agreed to die together on weekdays. Ex-approximate.

The three practitioners called Watanabe Chang Qichang to his side and said, "Cut off my head." How can you cut off the head of the lord alive? Qichang burst into tears and said: "This But you can’t follow orders, if you kill yourself, maybe it’s okay.” “That’s right.” After the three practitioners finished speaking, they faced west and chanted ten times aloud, and then composed a song of death, which was very sad.Song cloud: Sigh that I am like grass and trees, buried in the earth all year round; The growth is over now, and the buds have not yet opened. After finishing this song, he stabbed the abdomen with a sharp knife, bent down, and the sharp knife pierced through the body to die.This situation is not the time to compose songs, because he has been fond of this since he was a child, so he still does not forget to compose songs at the last moment of his life.Chang Qichang took his head, tied it to a stone, and took advantage of the chaos to sink to Uji River.

The samurai of the Hera family have always wanted to capture Jinguchi alive.He himself was aware of it, so he fought hard, and after being seriously injured, he committed suicide by caesarean section.Daisuke Yuanjue of the Consummation Institute believed that Takakura Palace had already gone far, so he took a long sword and a waist knife in both hands, broke through the enemy's encirclement, jumped into the Uji River, dived into the bottom of the water fully armed, and swam to the other side to land. , After going ashore, he shouted loudly: "Young masters of the Heike family, how are you? It's not easy to come here!" After finishing speaking, he went back to Mijing Temple. Hida Shoujing's family is a battle-tested veteran, he thought that Takakura Palace must have taken advantage of the chaos and fled to Nandu, so he left the battlefield, took more than 500 riders, and chased towards Nandu at full speed.Sure enough, in front of the memorial archway of Guangmingshan Temple, he overtook Gao Canggong and the thirty or so riders he brought with him.In an instant, the arrow shot over like a locust. I don't know who shot the arrow, it hit the left abdomen of Gaocang Palace, fell off the horse immediately, and was cut off by someone.Seeing this situation, Oni Sado, Ara Tosa, Ara Daifu, Mr. Iga from Rishijobo, Toshihide from the Criminal Ministry, Rokutengu from Jinguangin and others who followed him shouted loudly: This is the end of the matter, why waste your life! They fought with all their strength, and finally all died on the battlefield. Among them was Zongxin, the son of Takakura Palace's wet nurse and the doctor of Liujo. Because the enemy was chasing him, his horse was unable to run away, so he jumped into the pond of Miuiye, covered his head with duckweed, and his whole body trembled with fright. The enemy walked past him.Not long after, another four or five hundred cavalry soldiers returned clamorously, carrying a headless corpse in a white hunting coat through the rain-shielding window panels.Who is this? Looking closely, he recognized Gao Canggong.The "twig" of the flute that he had told him to put in the coffin after death still hangs around his waist.Zong Xin wanted to run up to hug the corpse, but he couldn't because of fear.After all the enemies had passed, he crawled out of the pond, wrung out his wet clothes and put them on, crying all the way back to the capital.For this reason, the world did not blame him. Let's say that there are more than 7,000 monks in Nandu, all wearing armor and armor, went to welcome Gaocang Palace.The vanguard has arrived in Mujin, and the rear team has not yet left the south gate of Xingfu Temple.But at this time, I got news that Gao Canggong had been killed in front of the memorial arch in Guangming Mountain.The monks had no choice but to stop with tears in their eyes.The reinforcements were only fifty towns away, and Gao Canggong was killed before he could wait. His fate was really pitiful. -------------------------- [1] The horn-like decoration is tied on the upper front of the helmet. 【2】Ping Jiangmen, see Note 5, Chapter 1, Volume 1. -------------------------- Thirteen prince ordained The people of the Heike family picked the heads of more than 500 people from the Takakura Palace, the three Taoist clans, and the monks of the Mitsui Temple on the waist sabers and long swords, held them high, and returned to Liupoluo at dusk.The scene of the sergeants cheering for joy is horrifying to say the least.The heads of the three Taoists were sunk in the Uji River by Chang Qichang, but they were never found.The heads of several of his sons were recognized one by one.The head of Gaocang Palace was not recognized because few people went to him in recent years.In the early years, Dian Yaotou [1] Dingcheng was summoned by Gaocang Palace to treat illnesses, and everyone said he must recognize him, so he sent someone to call, but he couldn't come out because he was sick in bed.Later, a female official of Gaocang Palace was searched out, and she was asked to come to Liupoluo to identify her.This female official has a deep relationship with Gaocang Palace, and she once gave birth to a prince who is the most favored on weekdays, so she will recognize it naturally.She just glanced at it, then covered her face with her sleeves and shed tears.It was confirmed that this was the head of Takakura Palace. Gaocang Palace also gave birth to princes and princesses with several female officials. In Batiao Women's Court [2] there is a female official named Sanweiju [3], who is the daughter of Yiyu Shou Gaojie Shengzhang. A seven-year-old prince and a five-year-old daughter.The Taoist Prime Minister asked his younger brother Chi Zhongnayan Lai Shengqing to go to the Batiao Women's Court and said: "I heard that there are many children in Gaocang Palace. My daughter will not pursue it. Hand over the prince." The Women's Court replied: "Gaocang Palace On the night when the story got out, the wet nurse took the prince and ran away without knowing what to do before dawn, and she is no longer here." Lai Shengqing had no choice but to return to the Taoist country.Xiangguo said: "This is absolutely impossible. Where else can it be if it is not with her. Since she said so, ask the warriors to search for it!" The female court went to and from the mansion, and the female court had a good impression of him, but this time, he was completely like a stranger when talking about the prince, and the female court was a little dissatisfied.The prince said to the women's court: "The matter is so serious that there is no escape. Send me to Liupoluo." I’m sorry that something happened, but I said such words. Although you are not my own flesh and blood, you have been raised for six or seven years, and now you have no hope, but you have suffered such bad luck!” He couldn’t help but say began to cry.Lai Shengqing repeatedly urged to hand over the prince, but the women's courtyard had no choice but to hand it over.The three bureaus, the prince's mother, were extremely sad to say goodbye to their son, called him to her with tears, stroked his hair, and sent the prince out of the courtyard, in a trance like a dream.Up to the women's courtyard, down to the female officials and girls in each room, all of them wet their sleeves with tears.When Lai Shengqing got the prince, he put him in the car and took him to Liupoluo. The former right general Zhi Shengqing took a look at the prince, then came to his father and said, "I don't know why, but I feel very pitiful when I see this prince. Even if it's an unreasonable request, please leave this prince's life to me." " Xiangguo said: "Then let him become a monk!" Zong Shengqing told the matter to Batiaoyuan.Hachijoin said: "Don't have any other thoughts, tell him to become a monk immediately!" So he was asked to become a mage, registered as a monk, and became a disciple of the imperial treasure of Renhe Temple.Later, the chief elder of the Toji Temple[4], Sengzheng of Yasui Palace, and the one who was called Daozun by Dharma, was this prince. -------------------------- [1] Dianyao Liao belongs to the Imperial Household Ministry, and its chief is called Dianyaotou. 【2】Hachijo Girls' Court is the daughter of Emperor Toba, Zhang Zi, and the aunt of Takakura Palace.After becoming a monk, he lived in Batiao, so it is called that. [3] Female officials who have their own rooms (bureaus) in the palace are called bureaus, which are senior female officials.This person has three official ranks, so it is called the three bureaus. [4] Toji Temple is a temple belonging to the Shingon sect of Buddhism, and the chief elder is the head of the temple. -------------------------- fourteen Astrologer Prince Takakura also had another prince in Nara, and his fufu Sanuki Morishishu let him become a monk and took him to the northern country.Later Kiso Yoshinaka[1] attacked Kyoto and wanted to make him emperor, so he took him to Kyoto and performed the crowning ceremony, so he was called Kiso Prince, also known as the Prince of Returning to the Vulgar.Later, Noyori lived near Saga, so he was also called Prince Noyori. Once upon a time, there was a physiognomist named Tong Cheng, who had looked at Uji Guanbai and Erjo Guanbai[2] and said that they were "three generations of relatives, over eighty years old", and it turned out that they were not bad at all.I also showed Dazai Quanshuai's internal minister [3] a look, saying that he "has the appearance of exile", and he was right.In the past, Prince Shotoku once said that Emperor Suojun [4] "has the appearance of violent death", and he was killed by Mako Soga in the end.It seems that as long as you are a hero among people, you don't have to be a fortune teller, but you can also be very accurate.Didn’t Shao Nayan [5] who showed the picture of Takakura Palace read it wrong? In modern times, Prince Kanamyung and Prince Guping, also known as the former Zhongshu Wang and Hou Zhongshu Wang [6], they are both sage kings and holy masters None of the emperor's princes ascended to the throne of God, but they did not rebel because of this.Another example is Prince Furen, the third son of Emperor Shirakawa, who was outstanding in talent and learning. When Emperor Shirakawa was still in the East Palace, Emperor Shirakawa had a will to Emperor Shirakawa: "You will be succeeded by Prince Furen." But Emperor Shirakawa didn't know why. No matter what considerations, Prince Furen was finally not allowed to succeed to the throne; but as a kind of compensation, his son was given the surname Genji, and he was directly assigned three official ranks from no official or no position, and was soon promoted to lieutenant general.Genji, who was demoted to a subject, was immediately promoted from no position to three, except for Emperor Saga, the son of Emperor Yoin Daina Yan, this was the first time.This person is You Rengong, the left minister of the garden [7]. During the rebellion in Gaocang Palace, some eminent monks practiced the method of suppressing evil and subduing evil, and rewarded them after the event. Only twelve years old.His father only became a military guard when he was his age, but he was promoted to the rank of public minister, except for Guan Bai's son, this situation has never happened.The reason for assuming the position is said to be: "To recover Yuan Yiren and Master Lai Zheng's father and son have made meritorious deeds, and special awards will be given." Yuan Yiren refers to Gaocang Palace.It is inappropriate to pursue the upright and upright son of the Supreme Emperor, but it is even more inconceivable to treat him like a commoner. -------------------------- [1] Kiso Yoshinaka is also a member of the Minamoto clan, the second son of Prince Tomori Yoshinaka, who was raised by Kiso's Nakahara clan, so he is called Kiso Yoshinaka. [2] Uji Kanbai is Fujiwara Yorimichi, Nijo Kanbai is Fujiwara Tongjiao, together with Raitong's father Fujiwara Michijo, it is Kanbai for three generations. [3] Fujiwara Itsu moved from the left of the minister to Dazai Quanshuai. 【4】Emperor Suga was the thirty-second emperor of Japan (reigned from 587 to 592) and was killed by Mako Soga. 【5】That is, Shao Na Yan Yi Chang. 【6】These two princes also serve as the chief ministers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is equivalent to the Zhongshu Order of the Tang Dynasty, so they are called Zhongshu Wang here. [7] You Ren Gong is the Minister of the Left, and he is called this because he lives in the garden of Renhe Temple. [8] Attendants are subordinate officials of the Ministry of Central Affairs. -------------------------- fifteen strange bird Let’s say that the three Minamoto Yorimasa were originally the fifth grandson of Settsu Morikou [1], the grandson of Mikawa Moritsuna, and the son of Hyogotou [2] Nakamasa.During the Baoyuan Rebellion[3], he defended the emperor and fought bravely, but he was not rewarded. He guarded the palace ban, but he was not allowed to go to the palace.After getting old, he wrote a waka to express his feelings, and only then was he granted the favor of being allowed to go to the temple.Song cloud: Guarding the deep mountains knows few people, Hiding behind a tree to enjoy the moonlight. Because of this song, he was allowed to go to the palace, and his official rank was promoted to the fourth rank.Soon after, he wanted to be promoted to the third, so he made another song: I have no chance to climb the laurel to the blue sky, Bending down to pick up vertebrae【5】for the rest of my life. So he was promoted to three.He became a monk shortly thereafter, so he was called the Three-Witness Enlightenment.He is seventy-five years old this year. The most prestigious event in his life happened during the reign of Emperor Konoe.During the Renping period, the emperor would have nightmares every night and even die, so he ordered the most efficacious eminent monk to practice the secret method of Dafa, but it didn't work.This disease occurs every time when the night is ugly [6].At that time, a group of black clouds rose from the Dongsanjo jungle and slowly shrouded the sky over the Emperor's Palace, so the Emperor began to have nightmares.Therefore, the imperial court summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures.In the past during the reign of Kanji, Emperor Horikawa [7] also had nightmares every night.At that time, the courtier of Shogun Minamoto Yoshika, who was sitting on the wide corridor of Shichen Hall, whenever the emperor had a nightmare, he would pluck the bowstring three times, and called out loudly: "The former Mutsu Morimoto Yoshika is here. ’ All the hairs on end stood on end, and the Emperor’s nightmare was put to rest.Following this precedent, the ministers unanimously agreed that samurai should also be by their side as guards, and they were asked to choose from the samurai of Genpei's two families, and this Minamoto Laizheng was selected.He was head of Hyogo at that time.Lai Zheng said: "The imperial court set up military officers for the purpose of suppressing rebellion and punishing those who disobeyed the order. Now they are called to capture invisible monsters. I have never heard of it before." Palace went.He only brought along a trusted entourage, Zaota Jing, a resident of Yuanjiang Country, who followed with the Eagle Ling Lingfeng Arrow on his back.He himself was wearing a hunting suit of the same color, holding two sharp arrows with tit feathers, and a bow wrapped with vines, and came to the wide corridor of Zichen Hall to be on guard.Lai Zheng took these two arrows for another reason: because Yuan Ya Lai, who was Zuo Shaobian at the time, said, "To get rid of monsters, only Lai Zheng is the one." That's why Lai Zheng was chosen.He thought that if one arrow failed to hit the monster, he would use the second arrow to shoot Yalai's head. As people usually say, when the emperor's nightmare happened, a cloud of dark clouds rose in the direction of Dongsantiao jungle, covering the emperor's bedroom.Lai Zheng took a closer look, and there was indeed a monster hidden in the cloud.He thought that if he missed the shot, he would never want to live again, so he drew his bow and set up an arrow, thinking of Namo Hachiman Bodhisattva silently in his heart, and swished the arrow away.Immediately, he had the feeling of being shot, and shouted happily: "It's shot!" Jing Zaota ran over in a hurry, held down the place where the monster fell, and stabbed nine times in a row.At this time, all the guards in the temple came out with torches to watch, and saw that the monster had the head of a monkey, the body of a raccoon, the tail of a snake, its feet were like a tiger's, and its cry was like a strange bird. It was really terrifying.The emperor was very happy and wanted to give him the imperial sword called the Lion King; so he asked Lai Chang, the left minister of Uji, to take it and pass it on to Lai Zheng.When Lai Chang walked down the hall from the hall, he was halfway there, because it was already the middle of April, when he heard the cuckoo calling two or three times and flew over.At this time, only Minister Zuo chanted: The cuckoo soars to the heavens, Lai Zheng bent his right knee, stretched out his left sleeve, looked sideways at the moon, and continued: Flying arrows under the moon are fluttering. He took Yujian and backed out.All the monarchs and ministers praised: "This man not only has an excellent bow and arrow, but also is very good at singing!" Then he put the strange bird in a canoe and floated away along the river. Later, during the reign of Emperor Nijo in the Yingbao period, a strange bird called 鵼 often sang in the palace, which troubled the emperor very much.So Lai Zheng was called again.It was late May at that time, and at dusk again, the strange bird only called once, and then stopped singing.I tried my best to keep my eyes wide open, but I still saw darkness, and I couldn't see the strange bird at all, and I couldn't find a target to shoot the arrow at.Then Lai Zheng came up with a plan. He took out a loud arrow and shot it over the palace where the strange bird was screaming.Then he shot it with the second small loud arrow, and the strange bird fell down with the loud arrow.Immediately there was an uproar in the palace, the emperor was very happy and rewarded him with a royal coat.Gong Neng, the right minister of the imperial gate of Dacang, brought it to him and gave it to him. The night of May is as dark as night, tonight is a beautiful name; Lai Zheng went on to say: But I feel that it is late, and I sigh at the old age.
