Chapter 19 eleven to fourteen

eleven Fujikawa Let's say that Fukuhara convened public officials to discuss and decided to speed up the crusade before Lai Chao's wings were fledgling.So Komatsu Quanliang was appointed as Major General Weisheng[1] as the general, and Satsuma Shouzhong as the deputy general. With more than 30,000 horses, they left Fukuhara on September 18th, arrived in the old capital on the 19th, and arrived at the old capital on the 20th. Killed to the east. Major General Quan Liang, Major General Wei Sheng, was twenty-three years old at the time, handsome and mighty, beyond the description of Dan Qing pen and ink.The ancestral general's armor embroidered with tiger skin was placed in a Tang-style cabinet and had to be carried. On the road, he was wearing a straight red silk gown covered with an armor embroidered with light green silk thread. His crotch was a gray horse with coin-shaped stripes and gold. Bordered carved saddle.The deputy general Satsuma kept his loyalty, wearing a blue straight gown, armor stitched with red thread, a fat black horse under his crotch, and a carved saddle painted and sprinkled with gold.All these horses, saddles, armor, helmets, bows, arrows, waist knives and short knives are dazzling, and the journey is mighty and magnificent.

In recent years, Satsuma Shouzhong has made friends with a female official born to an imperial daughter. One day he went to find the female official. It happened that a high-ranking female official came before him. He talked endlessly until late at night and still did not leave. .Zhongdu stood under the eaves and waited, flapping his fan out of irritability, only to hear the female official chanting in an elegant tone: "The field is so narrow, and the insects are noisy. 【2】" So Moshou put away his fan gone back.When we met again later, the female officer asked, "Why didn't you fan the fan that day?" Samoshou said, "Didn't you say 'the noise of insects', so I stopped fanning." A piece of underwear, as a farewell commemoration of traveling thousands of miles, with a song attached:

Wave your sleeves and leave the Eastern Kingdom, I feel more cold at night in my boudoir. Samo made a reconciliation: Don't sigh sadly when you go to Qing, The ancestors have traveled all over Guanshan. The phrase "ancestors have traveled all over Guanshan" refers to the fact that General Ping Zhensheng went to the Guandong to attack Pingjiang's gate [3]. The lyrics are very elegant. In the past, when a general went on an expedition to face the enemy, he first had to pay homage to the emperor and receive the imperial saber.The emperor came to the Zichen Hall, and the military officers of the guards stood in front of the steps, and the ministers of internal and external discrimination [4] participated in it, and held the Zhongyi Festival [5].The general and the deputy general each accept the saber according to the rules.There were such precedents in Taiping and Tianqing years [6], but it was difficult to follow because of the age. When Sanuki Shouhei Masamori went to the Izumo country before the crusade against Tsushima Shouyuan [7], he only gave the post bell [8], packed in a skin bag, hung under the neck of the handyman.In ancient times, a general who left the capital to fight against the enemy had to make three determinations: forget his home on the day he received the saber; forget his wife after he left the house; forget his life when fighting the enemy on the battlefield.The generals of the Ping Clan, Wei Sheng and Zhong Du, must also have this kind of determination.Thinking about it, it is quite emotional.

On September 22, Emperor Takakura once again visited Itsukushima, Agi Country.I had a lucky visit once in March, and because of this, the world has been a little more peaceful in the past two months, and the people of the people have a little peace.But since the Takakura Palace rebellion, the world has been in turmoil again, and the world is very uneasy.Therefore, in order to pray for the peace of the world, the Emperor recovered from his illness and went to Itsukushima Shrine again.This time we departed from Fukuhara, no longer need to travel long distances.The emperor himself made a prayer, and asked the regent Fujiwara Kittsu to transcribe it on his behalf.Wen said:

Gai heard that the nature of Buddhism is as quiet as idle clouds, like a bright moon hanging high at the fourteenth or fifteenth day; gods and Buddhas are manifested, with deep wisdom and deep thinking, like the spring breeze of one yin and one yang.Fuyanshima Shrine is known as the world, a place of praise, and a place of incomparable effectiveness.The peak circles around the altar, like a tall image of compassion; the sea almost reaches the temple, which actually embodies the depth and breadth of ambition.A certain ignorant person practiced the emperor's position, and now obeys the old Dan Qianchong's training, abdicates and retreats, and the emperor is leisurely and leisurely in Miaogu Sheshan [9].However, with all my sincerity, I visit the secluded temple on the isolated island, look up to Ming En under the auspicious fence, and sweat with sincerity;Especially the period of fear and caution, focusing on the turn of summer and autumn.Later, the disease suddenly invaded, and the medical skills were ineffective; the stars moved, the sun and the moon alternated, and the more I knew the truth of my senses.Although I have prayed for many days, I still haven't been relieved, so I have to go back to the journey with all my heart and willingness to brave the dust.The rustling cold wind invades the traveler's dream, and the deserted sunset looks at the boundless future.Finally arrived at this divine realm, respectfully set up a clean table, and would like to use colored paper and ink characters to write one part of the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", two volumes of "The Sutra of Infinite Meaning", two volumes of "Sutra of Samantabhadra", "Amitabha", "Prajna Heart Sutra" Wait for one volume each, and write a volume of gold clay Divapin by yourself, and dedicate it in front of the Buddha.When it is time, under the green pines and green cypresses, cultivate good roots; and there will be the sound of the tide, and the Gita.Disciple resigned from Beique for eight days, although there is not much change in the weather, the wave of Lingxihai is actually twice, you should know that the opportunity with our company is not shallow.The number of guests praying in the court varies, and there are countless guests visiting the temple every night. Although there are many dignitaries who turn to the faith, it is unheard of for the emperor's relatives to visit.But Empress Shirakawa created this precedent.A month before Mount Song [10], Han and Wu did not recognize the shadow of harmony and light, and the bottom of the clouds in Penglai, and the immortals were only separated by the dust of trails.It is a great blessing to pray to the Great Ming God, to bestow the scriptures of the Lotus, to reflect on my innermost feelings, and to bestow inspiration.

September 28th of the fourth year of Zhicheng Supreme Emperor【11】 Let's talk about the members of the Ping Family who left the Jiuchong Imperial Capital and traveled thousands of miles to the East China Sea. It is hard to predict whether they will be able to return to Beijing safely.During the journey, he either slept in the wilderness in the mountains, or slept in the moss on the peaks; he crossed the mountains and crossed the rivers, and it took more than one day.More than 30,000 horses left Beijing, and many soldiers were summoned along the way. When they arrived here, there were more than 70,000 horses.The striker has arrived in Kambara and Fujikawa, and the rear team is still in Tegoshi and Utsuya.General Quan Liang Weisheng summoned the samurai general Shangzongshou Zhongqing, and said confidently: "In my opinion, after crossing Mount Ashigara, we can start the war in Bandong." Shangzongshou replied: "Start from Fukuhara At that time, Master Rudao ordered to hand over the battle to Zhongqing. In my opinion, all the soldiers from the eight kingdoms of Bando were subordinated to Bing Weizuo. There are hundreds of thousands of troops in total. Although we have 70,000 troops, they are all The men and horses recruited from various countries are very exhausted, and the soldiers who are supposed to come from Izu and Suruga have not yet arrived, so we should first stand in front of Fujikawa and wait for all our troops to arrive before starting the battle." Wei Sheng listened, There was no choice but to suspend the fighting.

Let's say that Bingwei has crossed Mt. Ashigara and has reached the Kise River in the Suruga country.Genji from Kai and Shinano also rushed to meet at the seaside of the floating island, with a total of about 200,000 horses.Taro Satake, the Minamoto clan of Hitachi, sent a handyman with a letter to Kyoto, but on the way he was intercepted by Tadakiyo, the head of the Heike striker, who took the letter and opened it. It turned out that it was for his wife, so there was no problem. I gave it back to him.Asked: "How many troops are there?" The number up to one thousand, no matter how much more it is, I can't figure it out. Maybe it's more, maybe it's less, I can't tell the exact number. Yesterday in Huangse River, I heard that Genji has 200,000 horses." Shou listened and sighed: "Oh, it's a pity that the general [12] acted slowly. If we had launched a crusade earlier, crossed Mount Ashigara, and marched towards the Eastern Kingdom, the Hatakeyama clan and Dating brothers would definitely join us. They arrived If we come here, Bando will not return to Genji like the wind urges the grass and trees." Although he regretted it, it was useless.

Major General Quan Liang and Major General Weisheng called Nagai Saito, who was familiar with Dongguo, Biedang Shisheng, and asked, "How many good archers like you are there in Dongbaguo?" Saito sneered after hearing this: " It seems that the lord regards Shisheng as a person who can shoot long arrows. I can only shoot thirteen arrows [13]. There are countless archers like Shisheng in Dongguo. Their long arrows , there are no less than fifteen; all of them are good at using hard bows, and it takes five or six strong men to draw them. Such a hard bow archer can easily penetrate two or three layers of armor. Every daimyo [14], at least There are also no less than five hundred horsemen and horses. Once a man arrives, he will not fall off, and the horse will not fall no matter what dangerous place he goes to. When they fight, they don't care whether the father or the son is dead. Ma Yue continued to fight. People in the Western countries fought wars. When their father died, they had to guard the spirit and make offerings. They could not go to war until the taboo period expired. When their son died, they were so distressed that they could no longer fight. The army was short of food, so they would go to war after spring planting and autumn harvest. Summer I hate the heat, and I am afraid of the cold in autumn, so I don’t want to fight. Dongguo is not like this at all. The Genji of Kai and Shinano are familiar with the terrain here, and it is not known that they will come to our army from the side of Mount Fuji. I may destroy my prestige by saying this, In fact, this is not the case. Combat is not about the number of troops, but about making good use of strategies. This is all I want to say. This time, Shi Sheng has made up his mind that he will never return to the capital alive." Hearing this, all the warriors of the Ping family were terrified. shivering.

On October 23rd, the two Genpei families agreed to fight at Fujigawa tomorrow.At night, the Ping family's soldiers looked towards the Yuan family's camp, only to see fires everywhere.It turned out that the people of the Li people in Izu and Suruga were afraid of war, and most of them fled into the forests, hid in the mountains, and some fled to the rivers and seas by boat, and their cooking fires could be seen everywhere.So the members of the Hera family said: "Oh, there are so many fires in Genji's camp, the mountains and plains are all over the place, the seas and rivers are full of enemies, how can this be good?" They all panicked.In the middle of the night that day, the waterfowl in the swamp of Fuji River were frightened for some reason, and suddenly they flew up in groups, and the sound of their wings sounded like a strong wind and thunder.The samurai of the Hera family said: "No, the Genji army is attacking. It must have come from the back as Saito Betsang said. If you are surrounded by them, it will be bad. We should retreat here. Let’s go to Hezhou Mata in Ozhang and defend.” So he ignored the things that should be brought, and just ran away.Because of too much panic, some took the bow and forgot the arrow, or took the arrow and forgot the bow; some rode other people's horses, and their own horses were ridden away by others; Forgetting to let go of the rein, just spinning around the hitch.The geisha and singers called from the amusement parks nearby, some had their heads kicked, some had their waists bent, wailed and cried, and became a mess.

On the 24th day of the second day, Genji's 200,000 troops entered the Fuji River and shouted three times, causing the sky and the earth to tremble. -------------------------- [1] Weisheng is the direct son of Ping Shigemori, the minister of Komatsu, and the grandson of Ping Qingmori. [2] The original song can be found in the volume of "Xin Zhuan Lang Yong Ji". 【3】Ping Zhongdu is the sixth generation grandson of Ping Zhensheng. [4] Neibian and Waibian are the two ministers who master ceremonies inside and outside the Chengming Gate. [5] The Zhongyi Festival is a festival that more than six officials can participate in.

[6] Taiping (931-937) and Tianqing (938-946) are both the year names of Emperor Suzaku. [7] The source is the father of righteousness, the grandfather of Bing Wei Saraitomo. 【8】Certificates for post station confiscation of grooms and horses. [9] It is said that it is the place where immortals live, and here it is compared to the residence of the emperor. 【10】The Shaolin Temple where Bodhidharma lived is located in Songshan, Henan. [11] That is, Emperor Takakura. [12] refers to Ping Zongsheng who presided over military affairs in Beijing. [13] At that time, it was customary to measure the length of the arrow handle by the handle (the width of the fist). 【14】A daimyo is a local tyrant who owns a large number of private fields and is armed. -------------------------- twelve five festivals There was no sound in the Ping family's camp. Genji sent people to check and came back to report: "The enemy has run away." Some took armor that the enemy had forgotten, and some took tents that the enemy had abandoned, and reported: " There is indeed not even a single fly in the enemy's position." The guard got off his horse, took off his helmet, rinsed his mouth and hands, and bowed in the direction of the king's city: "It's not because of me alone, but because of the protection of Hachiman Bodhisattva." So he distributed the occupied land to the generals, handed over the Suruga country to Ichijiro Tadayori, and the Enjiang country to Yasuda Saburo Yoshida.It was supposed to continue to attack the Heike family, but because the rear was unstable, they led the army to withdraw from the floating island beach and returned to Sagami country. In addition, the geisha and singers in various playgrounds along the Tokaido laughed at the Heike family and said, "Ah, that's outrageous. The general who went to war ran away without firing an arrow. It's already disgusting to run away, but they are Hearing the news, he fled." There were also many anonymous postings.Because I heard that the general in the capital was called Ping Zongsheng, and the general who led the troops was called Ping Weisheng, so the Jietie wrote the Ping family as a bungalow, using the homonym to write: The people guarding Zhongliang in the bungalow panicked. The support (full) bar that was used to maintain the pillar fell down. 【1】 Another post wrote: The rushing water of the Fuji River, Not as good as Ise Heira's legs. Shang Zongshou Zhongqing threw the armor into the Fuji River, and a song wrote: Throw the armor into the Fuji River, It's better to wear cassock and read Amitabha! Zhongqing fled on a peach-colored horse, Although he is wearing the general horse shackles on his body, But after all, it's still a waste of money. On November 8, General Quan Liang and Major General Wei Sheng returned to Fuyuan.The Taoist Xiangguo said angrily: "Exile the general Quan Liang and Major General Wei Sheng to Guijie Island, and execute the warrior general Shang Zongshou Zhongqing to death." On November 9th, the warriors of the Heike family, young and old, gathered together to discuss the matter of Zhongqing's execution.Among them, the chief magistrate, Sheng Guo, stepped forward and said: "I have never heard that Zhongqing is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I remember that when he was eighteen years old, two robbers sneaked into the treasure hall of Toba Palace, which is the most vicious palace in the five kingdoms of Kinai." No one dared to go in and catch the gangsters. Zhongqing climbed over the wall in broad daylight, killed one, and captured one alive. This reputation can be passed on to future generations. This defeat seems extremely unusual, and it should be handled with caution to quell the rebellion. That's good." On November 10, General Quan Liang and Major General Wei Sheng were promoted to lieutenant general of the right guard.People whispered: "Although he is a great general who went to war, he didn't make any achievements in battle. What should we praise him for?" Once upon a time, in order to crusade against Hei Shomon, Hei Shogun Masamori and Tahara Fujita Hideo were ordered to go to Bando.However, it is not easy to eliminate Hei Shomen, so the ministers planned to send additional crusade troops, so they appointed Uji Minbu Minister Zhongfumi and Kiyohara Shito as military supervisors【2】.When staying in Suruga Kokisei Kanseki, Shito looked out at the vast sea and chanted Chinese poems aloud: The shadow of fire on the fishing boat is cold and the waves burn, The bell of the post road crosses the mountain at night. 【3】 Zhongwen was very moved when he heard this, and couldn't help crying.However, at that time, Zhensheng and Xiuxiang had already killed Ping Jiangmen, and they were returning to Beijing with his first class teacher. They met Zhongwen and Ziteng at Qingjianguan, so the four generals returned to Beijing together.When rewarding Zhensheng and Xiuxiang for their meritorious service, the ministers proposed to reward Zhongwen and Ziteng as well.Jiutiaoyou Minister Shi Fugong said: "It is not easy to eliminate Ping Jiangmen in this expedition to Bandong, so these two generals also went to Kanto under the imperial order. How can the two of them not be rewarded?" At this time, Guan Bai Xiaoyegong [4] said: "The "Book of Rites" says: Don't ask questions when in doubt." So, finally they were not rewarded.Zhongwen felt deep resentment for this matter, and swore: "I will treat the descendants of Lord Ono as slaves; the descendants of Lord Jiutiao, I will be their patron saint." Then he died of a hunger strike.Later, the descendants of Lord Jiutiao were all rich and honored, but the descendants of Lord Xiaoye were not outstanding. Now the descendants of Lord Xiaoye have all been extinct. Zhongheng, the fourth son and head lieutenant general who entered the Taoist country, was also promoted to lieutenant general of the left guard.On November 13th of the same year, the newly built imperial residence in Fukuhara was completed, so the emperor moved there.There should have been a big tasting.The routine items of the Great Tasting Meeting are: the emperor should come to Kamo River at the end of October, repair and bathe; build a fasting place in Kitano, Miyagi, and prepare various sacred clothes and sacred tools; Build a Huilong hall for the emperor to bathe here.Next to the altar, the Dachang Palace is built, where new grains are used as offerings to the gods, a feast for the gods is held, music and singing are held, and then a grand ceremony is held in the Taiji Hall, Kagura is played in the Qingshu Hall, and a banquet is held in Fengleyuan.But now in Fukuhara's new capital, there is no Taichi Hall, no place to hold grand ceremonies, no Qingshu Hall, no kagura performances, no Hoyakuin, let alone banquets.Therefore, the ministers agreed that only the Xintaohui and Wujiehui will be held this year, and the Xintaohui will still be held in the gods' hall in the old capital. The five festivals are dances held during the reign of Emperor Tenmu.On a moonlit and windy night, the emperor played the piano quietly in the Yoshino Palace, and the goddess descended from the sky, with her sleeves fluttering, and danced five times.This is the origin of the Five Festivals. -------------------------- 【1】In Japanese, guarding Zhongliang is homonymous to Zongsheng, and the loan word used to maintain it is homonymous to Weisheng's official title "Liang". [2] The military supervisor is to follow the general who is going to the expedition to plan military affairs, and is under the deputy general. [3] This is a poem by Du Xunhe in the Tang Dynasty. [4] Mr. Ono is Fujiwara Miyai, and he was appointed Minister of Taizheng in the second year of Anhe (969). 【5】Quoted from "Book of Rites·Qu Li Pian". -------------------------- Thirteen return all This time the capital was moved to Fukuhara, and all the monarchs, ministers, government and the public sighed.All temples and shrines such as Enryakuji Temple and Kofukuji Temple said that the relocation was inappropriate.Therefore, the always domineering Taoist Xiangguo said: "Then, let's go back to the old capital." On December 2 of the same year, he hurriedly moved back to the old capital.Fukuhara Xindu is located on a high terrain with mountains in the north and a low terrain in the south with the sea. The sound of waves is loud and the sea breeze is also very strong.Therefore, Emperor Takakura often fell ill. As soon as he heard that he could move back to the old capital, he hurriedly left Fukuhara.From the regent onwards, the ministers below the minister of the Taizheng and the people in the palace all competed to serve him.After entering the Dao Xiangguo, the ministers and officials of the Ping family also went back to the old capital.Who wants to stay in this unpleasant new capital for a moment.Since June, houses have been demolished, goods and sundries have been brought in, and a new capital of considerable scale has been built.Each family had no place to live, so they had to live in remote places such as Hachiman, Kamo, Saga, Taiqin, Nishiyama, Higashiyama, etc., or temporarily shelter in the corridors of Buddhist temples and worship halls of shrines.Many of them are people of status. As for the reason for moving the capital this time, it is said that the old capital was very close to the southern capital Beiling [1], and if something happened, the monks used the sacred tree of Kasuga and the shrine of Hiyoshi [2] as a basis to make troubles.Fuyuan is separated by mountains and rivers, and the distance is also very long, so such a thing will not happen easily.This is the reason for moving the capital of the Taoist country. On December 23 of the same year, the Omi Genji was again conquered. With Zuo Bingwei Governor Zhisheng and Satsuma Shouzhong as the generals, he led more than 20,000 horses and marched towards Omi.After destroying the Genji scattered in Yamamoto, Kashiwagi, and Jinguli one by one, they marched towards Mino and Owari. -------------------------- [1] Nandu Beiling, see Note 4, Section 8, Volume 1. [2] Kasuga Shenmu is the divine body of Kasuga Wakamiya, and the monks of Kofuku Temple carried it out to make trouble when they disputed.The monks of Enryaku-ji Temple carried the gods from Hiyoshi Shrine to the imperial palace to petition. -------------------------- fourteen Nara was burned Some people in the capital commented: "Gaocang Palace entered Yuancheng Temple, and the monks in Nandu united with him and sent people to greet them, making them enemies of the imperial court. Therefore, Nandu and Mijing Temple should attack together." The news spread to Nara, and the monks Immediately there was a commotion.The regent Fujiwara Keitsu announced: "If you have any request, just say it, no matter how many times, I can play it again." But the monks turned a deaf ear.He also sent Bie Dang Zhongcheng, who was also an official, as an envoy to appease him.The monks booed and said: "Pull that guy off the horse, and cut off his hair!" Zhongcheng panicked and fled back to the capital.Then he sent Uemon Satohara Chinya to go.The monks still shouted: "Cut off that guy's bun!" He was so frightened that he fled back in a panic.At that time, the two handymen of the Quan Academy [1] had their hair cut off.Nandu made another big wooden ball for games, saying it was the head of Ping Xiangguo, and shouted: "Hit it, step on it!" If things are not careful, the way to defeat." [2] After all, the Xiangguo who entered the Tao is the grandfather of the current emperor, and the Nara monks insulted Xiangguo in this way, probably because of a demon. After learning about this situation, Xiangguo thought to himself: What should I do? First of all, the disturbance in the southern capital must be quelled.So Taro Seo, a resident of China, was sent to replace the chief of the Yamato National Inspection and Non-violation Office [3].Jiankang went to his post with more than 500 horsemen.Before Jiankang left, Xiangguo once told him: "You must be careful, even if the monks are a little messy, you must not use force at will. You should neither wear armor nor bring bows and arrows." The low-level soldiers under Kang's subordinates captured more than 60 people, all beheaded, and hanged by the bank of Saruze Pond.Xiangguo was very angry, and said: "Then, let's attack Nandu." He appointed Lieutenant General Zhongheng as the general, and Zhonggong Liangtongsheng as the deputy general, and led 40,000 troops to march towards Nandu.There were more than 7,000 monks in Nandu, young and old, and they were all armed. They cut off the roads, dug trenches, built barriers, and set up deer villages in Narazaka and Banruo Temple.The 40,000 men of the Heike family divided into two groups, and launched an attack on the two castles of Narazaka and Bannuo Temple, shouting in unison.The monks are all on foot, holding waist knives.The officers and soldiers rushed to kill on horseback, chasing east and west, shooting arrows like rain.Almost all the monks who resisted the official army died in battle.The battle began at Mao and continued until dark.At night, the two castles of Narazaka and Banruo Temple were captured.Among the escaped monks, there was a brave monk named Sakashiro Yongjue, who was good at using both knives and archery. His physical strength was second to none among the seven and fifteen temples.He wore armor outside the light green waist armor, and five neck guards were adorned on the helmet. He held a white-handled long knife with a white handle that turned up like a thatched leaf and a black-lacquered saber in each of his left and right hands. More than a dozen monks and soldiers opened the door one after another, rushed out from the Nianluo Gate, and temporarily resisted the officers and soldiers.Many officers and soldiers were also killed because the legs of the horses were cut off.But the officers and soldiers were so numerous that they attacked alternately, killing all the people around Yongjue. Although Yongjue was brave, he was outnumbered and had to flee south. Entering the night battle, because it was too dark, General Shigeheng stood in front of the Banjna Temple and said, "Light the fire." As soon as the words fell, one of the Heike sergeants was a resident of Harima and an officer of Fukuizhuang, named Jiro Taifu Youfang. , He chopped off a piece of wood, made a torch, and set fire to the house.This happened on the night of December 28th. Because of the strong wind, although there was only one source of fire at the beginning, after the strong wind blows, many Jialan temples caught fire.Those monks who are ashamed and cherish their reputation either died in battle in Narazaka or in Banruo Temple.Those who could still walk fled towards the Yoshino Totsu River; the old monks who were unable to escape, the monks who were studying Buddhism, and young men and women all rushed to the Great Buddha Hall and the Sandaiji Temple【5】.On the upper floor of the Great Buddha Hall, more than a thousand people gathered. In order to prevent the enemy from coming up, they also removed the stairs.When the fire comes, the screaming sound is incomparable even to the sinners in the scorching heat, the great scorching heat, and the infernal hell [6]. This Xingfu Temple was originally built by Dan Haigong【7】, and it is a private temple of the Fujiwara family.The Dongjintang enshrines the first Sakyamuni statue after the introduction of Buddhism; the Xijintang enshrines the Avalokitesvara image that emerges naturally from the ground.The four-sided corridor inlaid with glaze, the two-story building painted with Danzhu, and the two pagodas with nine rounds of light on the top, all turned to ashes in an instant.Todaiji enshrines the Buddha statues that are always immortal and appear in the land of reality and the land of light. Emperor Shengwu personally made the polished sixteen-foot gold and copper Lujana Buddha [8], User [9] is towering, Covered by clouds and mist in the sky; white hair between the eyebrows, and a face just like the full moon, but now her hair has been burned off, and her body is melted and ruined.The eighty-four thousand kinds of respectable faces are like the autumn moon covered by five layers of clouds; the necklaces of forty-one places are like night stars blown by ten evil winds.The smoke and dust covered the sky, and the flames soared into the sky. Those who saw it couldn't bear to look at it, and those who heard it were frightened.There is not a single volume of Dharma and Sanlun's Holy Teaching [10].Don't talk about my dynasty, even Tianzhu and Aurora, the Dharma will not be lost to such a degree.The real gold smelted by King Youtian and the red sandalwood carved by Vishou Karma [11] are all life-sized Buddha statues. Moreover, this is the only Buddha statue in Southern Jambudvipa [12]. It was originally hoped to remain in the world forever, but now Burned by flames, leaving only traces of sorrow.The Four Kings of Sanskrit and Shakyamuni[13], the Eight Divisions of Dragon Gods, and the Underworld Officials and the Underworld, must have been shocked too.Kasuga Daimyojin who supports Hoshozong, I don’t know what to think! The dew of Kasugano changes its color, and the wind of Mt. Mikasa is like weeping and complaining. It is said that among those who died in the fire, there were more than 1,700 people on the upper floor of the Great Buddha Hall, more than 800 people in the Xingfu Temple, more than 500 people in one hall, and more than 300 people in the other hall. , a total of more than 3,500 people.More than a thousand monks died on the battlefield. Some of them were beheaded in front of the Banruo Temple, and some were beheaded and sent to the capital. On the 29th, the first lieutenant general completely wiped out Nandu, and the squadron went back to the capital.The Taoist Xiangguo finally let out a bad breath, and was very happy in his heart.People below the palace, the emperor, the emperor, and the regent all lamented: "The evil monk has been eliminated, but the temple should not be destroyed." Later, they were all hung on the tree in front of the prison gate.Later, there were no more instructions for the tragic destruction of Todaiji Temple and Kofukuji Temple, and these heads were abandoned in ditches here and there.Emperor Shomu once said in the imperial edict: "If my temple is prosperous, the world will be prosperous; if my temple declines, the world will decline." It is no doubt that the world is declining.A frightening year has finally passed, and Zhicheng has entered his fifth year. -------------------------- 【1】It is a school established by Fujiwara Totsuji in the twelfth year of Hongren (821) to educate the children of the Fujiwara clan.
