Chapter 26 sixteen to twenty

sixteen Loyalty run away Let's say that Satsuma's loyalty has returned to the capital from nowhere.He accompanied five samurai, one servant, and himself a total of seven riders, and went straight to the mansion of the three courtiers Fujiwara Toshinari located in Gojo.But seeing that the gate was closed tightly, he signed up outside and said, "I am Zhongdu." He heard someone inside the gate say, "It's the man who ran away and returned." Then there was an uproar.So Zhongdu got off his horse and said in a loud voice: "I didn't come here for anything else, but I came back because I wanted to say something to the three gentlemen. It doesn't matter if you don't open the door, please come closer." Jun Chengqing said He said: "It's just in time, since it's loyalty, it's not in the way, please come in." After saying that, they opened the door, and the two had to meet.At this time, the scene is very sad.Loyalty said: "In recent years, I have taken your advice and learned to compose waka, and I have never dared to neglect. Because of the turmoil in the capital and the rebellion of various countries in the past two or three years, these things have a lot to do with our Heike family. I can't come to ask for advice often. Now the Lord has been dusted, and our Heike family is exhausted. Some time ago, I heard that you were ordered to write a collection of waka. If you are willing to include one of my songs, it will be the glory of my life. Only because of the situation It is a pity that you haven't started the turmoil. In the future when the situation is stable, you will definitely start to write a collection. Here I have a volume of waka written by myself. If I can appreciate it, even if I include one, I will I'm happy, and in the dark, I wish you good health." Then he took out a volume of more than one hundred Japanese songs that he had selected from under the armor, and handed it over.Jun Chengqing opened it and said, "I'm sure you'll leave me a memorial, so I don't dare to be negligent. Please rest assured. I can't help but be grateful for your generous and elegant presence." Zhongdu was delighted to hear that, Said: "In this long journey, even if you sink to the bottom of the sea forever, or die in the mountains, you will have no regrets in this life. Then, I will bid farewell." After finishing speaking, he got on his horse, tightened the tie of his helmet, and rode away to the west.Jun Chengqing watched him from behind, and watched him go far away, only to hear Zhongdu chanting loudly: "The road ahead is long, and I am thinking about the evening clouds in Yanshan Mountain..." [1] Jun Chengqing felt no sense of parting, so he He hid his tears and went into the house.

Later, when the situation calmed down, when Juncheng wrote the "Thousand Years Collection", he remembered the situation of loyalty and what he said at that time, and felt very sad.Although there are many good works in the volume of songbook he left behind, but because he is the person who is being investigated in the Qin case, it is inconvenient to disclose his name, so he marked the author as anonymous and chose a song titled "Hometown Flower" by him.The song says: The old imperial capital of Shiga is full of desolation; The cherry blossoms on the mountains in the suburbs are still in full bloom.

Since he has become a traitor to the imperial court, although there should be no excuses, it is indeed very sad. -------------------------- 【1】Quoted from Oe Chaozuna's "Preface to the North Guest at Honghe Temple" in "He Hanlang Anthology", the following two sentences are: "After the meeting is far away, the cherry blossoms are dripping with the tears of Honglu." -------------------------- seventeen run away The son of repair doctor Ping Jingsheng [1], Empress Gong Liang [2] Jingzheng, when he was young, he used to accompany Prince Juexingfa [3] at Renhe Temple.Now at this time of turmoil, I thought of the prince, and felt sorry for the farewell, so I brought five or six warrior attendants and rode to Renhe Temple.I got off my horse in front of the door, walked inside, and said to the prince: "The Ping family is exhausted and has already evacuated from the capital. The only thing I can't forget about the world is that I can't bear to leave you. I followed you from the age of eight to thirteen. Sui Jiaguan, except for his illness, has never left you for a moment, but from now on, he has to travel thousands of miles across the Western Sea, and it is unpredictable when he will come back to meet you. It is a pity that I come to see you today. Armor, bow and arrow, this attire is too impolite." The prince said: "That's it, no need to change clothes, come in!"

Jingzheng today wears a purple silk straight skirt, armor sewn with light green silk thread, a waist knife inlaid with gold on the outside, black and white eagle feather arrows stuck in the back, and a bow wrapped with vines under his ribs. On the knot of the armor, kneeling reverently in the courtyard of the main hall.The prince came out immediately, ordered the curtain to be rolled up high, and said: "Come here!" Jingzheng then moved to the top of the wide corridor, called up Fujibei Youjiao who came with him, took out the lute from the red kit, Handed it to the prince, crying and said: "This is the Qingshan pipa you gave me in the past. I love it very much, but it is a pity to take it to the countryside, so I specially give it back today. If there is an unexpected turn of luck in the future, Return to the capital and reward me again." The prince felt very sad when he heard this, so he wrote a waka:

I miss you this day, I am sad and far away from love; The meaning of the green mountains on the pipa is treasured in my heart. Jingzheng borrowed the inkstone and made a song.Song cloud: Bamboo bamboos flow clear water, and the world has gone through vicissitudes; The middle hall of Renhe Temple has lived for a long time. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, several servant boys, Qing monks, square officials, and acolytes [4] all grabbed Jingzheng's sleeves and bid farewell with tears.Among them was Jingzheng's young master Da Nayan Fayin Xingqing, the son of Yeshi Da Nayan Guang Laiqing, who was sent to the bank of the Kwai River because it was too difficult to leave.Sending you off for thousands of miles will end with a farewell, crying and breaking up there.At the time of parting, Fayin sang:

Pity the cherry blossoms on the mountain, regardless of young or old, From time to time, one after another, eventually faded away. Jingzheng and a song, the song goes: He joined the army all the way, sleeping with his sleeves on his pillow every night; Qiong Qiong manages to collect clothes, and is disgruntled on the road. At this time, the pawns unfurled the rolled red flag and raised it up, and the waiting warriors rode their horses together. There were a total of more than a hundred riders, waving their whips and galloping their horses. After a while, they caught up with Xingxing. Holy ride.

Both the officials and the monks had wives, and the status of the monks was relatively low. -------------------------- eighteen Castle Peak Pipa This scripture, when he was seventeen years old, sent him to Usa Hachiman Shrine as an imperial emissary [1], and at that time gave him a green mountain pipa.He came to Usa and played a secret song in front of the shrine of the Hachiman Jingu Shrine. Those priests who had never heard a celebrity perform were so moved that they wept and wet the sleeves of their green robes [2]; The servants of the pipa also thought it was raining, and said that it was a rare song in the world.

This pipa named after Qingshan was originally when Emperor Nimei [3] ruled the world, in the spring of the third year of Jiaxiang (850), Satou Fujiwara Sadatoshi [4] traveled westward to the land of Tang, and had to meet Lian Cheng, a doctor of pipa in the Tang Dynasty. Wu, inherited three famous songs from him, and when he returned to China, he gave Xuanxiang, Shishiwan, and Qingshan three-faced pipa. It is said that when crossing the sea, the dragon probably was reluctant to part with it. Back to Ermianpipa, it became a treasure in the palace.During the reign of Emperor Murakami [5], one day, the emperor was playing the Xuanxiang Pipa in Qingliang Hall when the cool wind was blowing in the "new moonlight" [6], suddenly a figure came to him , sing the music on the music score with an elegant voice.The emperor put down his pipa and asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from?" I have fallen into the magic way, and now I hear that you play the pipa so exquisitely, I came here specially to teach you that secret song, so that I can become a Buddha." After saying that, he took the Qingshan pipa standing beside the emperor, and tuned it to you. After finishing the strings, he taught the secret song, which is one of the three secret songs, "Shang Xuan Shi Shang".From then on, all the monarchs and ministers were taboo to play this pipa, so they sent it to the Prince of Renhe Temple.Because Jingzheng was very favored when he was young, he was given to Jingzheng to keep.This pipa is made of Zitong, with green hills and green trees painted on the dial, and a crescent moon hanging between them, so it is named Qingshan.This is a rare and famous item comparable to the mysterious elephant.

[6] The words come from Bai Juyi's Nine Poems of Recalling Yuan Dynasty, and the next sentence is "the heart of an old man two thousand miles away". -------------------------- nineteen family run away Dai Nagon Heira Yorimori, who lived in Ikeden, burned his mansion and fled.But as soon as he walked to the south gate of Toba Rikyu, he buckled the horse's bridle and said, "I forgot something." So, he cut off the red family emblem of the Ping family on the armor, and led more than 300 troops to turn around and go back. Came to the capital.The warrior of the Heike family, Koshichu Jiro Bingwei Shengsi, hurried to the minister of the interior and reported to the Minister of the Interior: "Look, Chiden Dainao said that he will stay in the capital, and many samurai will not leave. It's outrageous. Dana As for these warriors, I will not spare them." Zong Sheng said after hearing this: "Forget the long-term kindness and think that the situation is over now, such ungrateful people, let him go." Said that Sheng Si had no choice but to give up.Zong Shenggong asked again: "What happened to the sons of Xiaosong Palace [1]?" People’s hearts have already changed, it’s really chilling. I don’t know what will happen in the future? Thinking of this, it’s better to stay in the capital and resign yourself to fate!” As he said, he looked at Zong Shenggong full of resentment.

Da Nayan said that the reason why Lai Shengqing stayed in the capital was because Yuan Laichao often flattered Lai Sheng and sent letters of tribute many times: "Don't dare to neglect your respect, and it will be the same as before, and it will be the same as when Ni Jun [2] was alive. Lai Sincere heart, Hachiman Bodhisattva's enlightenment." Not only that, every time I make an oath to the gods and Buddhas, and every time I send a crusade army to chase after the Jianping family, I always tell the former army envoy: "Be careful, don't hurt Lai Shengqing. Subordinates!" Lai Sheng was moved by Minamoto's kindness, and thought to himself: "The Heing family is exhausted, the capital has fallen, and we can only ask for help from Lai Chao in the future. So he led his troops back to the capital. Lai Sheng returned to the capital , living in seclusion in the villa of Changyeyuan of Renhe Temple in Bajo Women's Court [3]. Because the wet nurse of the women's court has a daughter named Chancellor Temple [4], who is Lai Sheng's spouse. Chancellor Palace asked the Women's Court: " When the situation is critical, please save Lai Sheng!" The women's courtyard replied coldly: "It's not so easy to deal with in this world..." Perhaps it was because she considered that although Minamoto Raichao repeatedly showed good intentions, But it is unknown how the other members of the Yuan family will behave. Lai Sheng is now divorced from the whole family, with both ends of the head rat, and it seems that neither end is settled. Besides, the sons of Xiaosong Palace, headed by three lieutenant generals Wei Shengqing, six brothers, and a total of more than a thousand cavalry under their command, caught up with Xing Yuyu in Liuheyuan of Dianzhi.Duke Zong Sheng waited and said happily, "Why did you come so late?" The three lieutenant generals said: "The young child is reluctant to let go, and he has repeatedly comforted him, so he is late." I am so cruel, why not let the six generations come together?" Wei Shengqing suddenly felt sad when he heard this question, she shed tears again, and replied: "It's just because the future is uncertain." Who are the Hira family who fled? The public officials include the former Minister of Internal Affairs Zongsheng Gong, Nayan Shizhong of Taira, Nayan Jiaosheng of Hirazhong, Nayan Zhisheng of Shinchu Nayan, Jingsheng of repair doctor, Qingzong of Youweimen governor Lieutenant General Shigeheng, Lieutenant General Weisheng, Lieutenant General Weisheng, Lieutenant General Shigemori, Lieutenant General Zimori, Lieutenant General Tomomori, Lieutenant General Echizen; Major General Yumori Komatsu, Tango's attendant Takabo, Empress Gong Ryosuke, Satou Yukimori, Satsuma Shouto, Noto Shoukyo, Musashi Shouzhizhang, Bichu Shoushisheng, Awaji Shouqingbo, Owari Shouqing Ding, Wakasa Shoujing Jun, Tibetan doctor Ye Sheng, and doctor Dun Sheng; there are two monks, Du Quanzhen, Fasheng Temple executive Nengyuan, Zhongnayan lawyer Zhong Kuai, Sutra recitation workshop Acharya Yuyuan; warriors have points There are 160 officials belonging to the Guosi, Jianfeishi, Weifu, and Zhusi, with a total of more than 7,000 soldiers and horses. This is the remaining troops in the past two or three years after several battles with the Eastern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom. .Miyu stopped at Sekito-in Temple in Yamazaki to pay homage to Nanshan Hachimangu Shrine. Dai Nayan prayed faithfully at ordinary times: "Nanmo Guiming pays homage to the Great Bodhisattva, please bless the Emperor and us to return to the capital!" Such a prayer It is also very sad.Everyone looked back and saw clouds floating in the sky, and smoke floating in the air desolately.Zhongna Yanpingjiao Sheng Yong sang: Abandoning home and wandering, going far away to the top of the white clouds, Looking back at Yantang, the eyes are full of wolves. The repair doctor Jing Sheng also chanted: Looking back at the old capital, everything has been turned into scorched earth; The haze crosses the road ahead, and the journey is full of waves. This is the isolation of the hometown, a piece of smoke and dust, and the road ahead is thousands of miles away.This situation is sad enough to think about it. Higo Shouzhen heard that Genji's soldiers were in ambush at the mouth of the Yodo River, so he led five hundred cavalry to gallop to fight.Later, I realized that the rumor was wrong, so I led the army back.When he was walking to the vicinity of Uduye, he happened to meet Yuyu who was lucky. Zhenneng jumped off his horse, bowed his bow, bowed down in front of the Minister of Internal Affairs, and said, "Where are you going to go? If you go to the West Kingdom, you will be arrested." It is a pity that people ridicule him as a desolate person, who is in danger of being victimized everywhere, and leaves a bad reputation. The only way is to stay in the capital and fight to the death with them!" The minister said: "You still don't understand Zhenneng. Kiso has led more than 50,000 cavalry to attack from the northern country. The area around Sakamoto on the east side of Hiei is full of enemy troops. At midnight today, the emperor has also moved out of Beijing. If it is all us men, let the women's court and Mrs. Second Grade [5] It is too wrong to be frightened, so I have no choice but to go out and lead everyone to evacuate the capital temporarily." "In this case, please let Zhenneng return to the capital to fight the enemy to the death!" Yu Qi was handed over to the sons of Xiaosongdian, and he led the thirty riders back to Kyoto. It is rumored in Jingli that Zhenneng has returned to Beijing to conquer the remnants of the Ping clan who stayed in Beijing.Da Nayan Lai Sheng thought to himself: "This is aimed at me, Lai Sheng." He was really panicked.Zhenneng set up a tent on the ruins of Xibatiao and lived there for one night, because he didn't see a son of the Heing family, and felt very desolate.In order not to be trampled by Genji's iron hooves, he ordered the grave of Lord Komatsu to be dug up, and cried to the remains: "Poor Lord, take a look at the end of the Heike family! The living will perish, joy will end, and sorrow will come. It is written in an ancient book, and there is nothing more tragic than this. You have realized this a long time ago, prayed to the three treasures of gods and Buddhas, and returned to the Pure Land early, which is really wise. At that time, Zhenneng should have gone with you, but instead Leaving this useless body, so that I am in such a situation. If I die, please take me to the pure land together." After crying, I prayed from a distance, and then sent the remains to Gaoye, and threw the grave into the Kamo River.He was completely desperate for the development of the current situation, but contrary to the Heike people, he fled to the east country.Because when she was ordered to take care of Utsunomiya Fujiwara Asatsuna in the previous year, Zhenneng took care of Utsunomiya, or it was for this reason that she went to the east country to join Utsunomiya.It is said that Utsunomiya took him in kindly. -------------------------- 【1】The princes living in Komatsu-den include Ping Shigemori's sons Weisheng, Zisheng, Qingjing, Yousheng, etc. [2] Nijun, see Note 1, Section 4, Volume 5. 【3】Hachijo Nyoin is the daughter of Emperor Toba.See Note 2 of Section 13 of Volume Four. 【4】For the relationship between Chancellor’s Hall and Lai Sheng, see Section 13 of Volume Four. 【5】Nyoin refers to the birth mother of Emperor Andoku, Jianreimonin; Mrs. Erpin is the birthmother of Jianreimonin, see Note 3, Section 10, Volume 1. -------------------------- twenty give up fukuhara Except for the three lieutenant generals Weisheng, all members of the Hera family, from the Minister of the Interior Zongsheng down, brought their wives with them, but those with lower status were not allowed to bring their dependents. Ion travels with the army.In the past, even if I set a few months and a few days to come back, I still felt that the days were too long, not to mention that today at this moment is the last reunion and the last farewell. .The friendship between masters and slaves who have been dependent on each other for generations, and the kindness accumulated over time, of course they will never be forgotten.No matter you are old or in your prime, you are always hesitating and hesitant to move forward. Some people lean on a boat on the edge of the rock, and spend their days breaking through the waves at sea; Sailing; everyone is worried, leaving their hometown and embarking on a journey. Arriving at the old capital of Fukuhara [1], the minister of the interior, Lord Zongsheng, called together hundreds of important warriors, old and young, and said: "Our Heike family's remaining good fortune has been exhausted, and the remaining disasters caused by evil accumulation have fallen on our heads. Not tolerated by the gods, abandoned by the emperor, abandoning the homeland, wandering on the journey, although luck is declining and the future is bleak, but sheltering under the same tree is also a predestined fate in the past life, and drinking the water of the same river is also a lifetime Besides, you are not temporary recruits, but retainers handed down from your ancestors. Some of them are closer and have deep ties with each other. When the Heike family was prosperous in the past, you were sheltered because of my family's kindness; Now, it is only natural that we should repay this kindness. Moreover, the ten benevolent emperors [2] we enshrine carry the three artifacts of Emperor Zuo, no matter where we go, we should follow them to the end." After saying this, All the young and old wept together and said in unison: "Even birds and beasts know how to be grateful and repay kindness. We are born as human beings, so how can we not understand this truth. In the past twenty years, we have raised wives and taken care of others, all of which are due to the kindness of the ministers." .Especially for samurai, it is a shame to have two hearts, not to mention in Japan, even in Silla, Baekje, Goryeo, Khitan, whether it is the end of the world or the cape, we must follow the holy car and be steadfast." After hearing these words, the members of the Ping family felt relieved. In this way, I stayed in the old capital of Fukuhara for one night.It was early autumn, and under the light of the last quarter moon, the sky was silent and vast in the middle of the night; people were lying on grass, soaked in dew and tears, and the scene was very bleak.Because I don’t know when I will be able to go back, let’s take a look at the attic pavilion built by the former Taoist Xiangguo. There is a flower-viewing pavilion in spring on the high hill, and a moon-viewing pavilion in autumn on the seashore. , the attic on the second floor, the Snow Pavilion, the Xuanhuatang; and the mansions of the members of the Heike family, as well as the inner palace built by the imperial edict of the five Da Nayan Banggang. deserted.But I saw moss clogged the road, autumn grass sealed the door, pine covered the tiles, weeds grew on the walls, the pavilions collapsed, and moss grew everywhere; After dawn, Fukuhara's palace was set on fire.Headed by the emperor, they got on the ship one after another.At this time, although I was not as attached as when I first left Beijing, I was also very reluctant to say goodbye.At dusk, the smoke from the fisherman burning seaweed; in the morning, the deer croaking on the top of Shangwei Mountain; the sound of the waves lapping on the shore; the moonlight reflecting the tears on the sleeves; the sound of crickets chirping in the grass; everything is heard and seen. cause grief.Yesterday at the foot of Dongguan Pass, more than 100,000 riders rode together, but today facing the waves of the West Sea, there are only more than 7,000 riders who unmoored and boarded the boat.The sea of ​​clouds is heavy, and the blue sky is at dusk; the isolated island is separated by the evening mist, and the moon floats on the sea; the waves are connected to the clouds, and the boat breaks through the waves.After traveling for a long time, the imperial capital is already separated by mountains and rivers, as if outside the clouds.Every time I think of this, tears always flow down my cheeks.Look at the white bird flying on the water, isn't it the "capital bird" who asked the question on the Sumida River in Yuan Yeping [3]! How nostalgic the name is! On July 25, the second year of Shouyong, The entire Heike family fled from here. -------------------------- [1] Fukuhara is near Kobe, where the Hei family moved the capital in the fourth year of Zhicheng, see the first section of the fifth volume. 【2】The ten good emperors are the kings who are ten thousand good. [3] Zahara Yeping (825-880), a famous singer in the early Heian Dynasty of Japan.It is said that it contains his anecdotes.One of them said that he left Jingdong in frustration and came to the Sumida River in Edo. He saw a white bird flying on the water and asked the boatman what kind of bird it was. He replied that it was a capital bird.So he aroused his nostalgia, and impromptu sang: "Du Niao, Du Niao, if it is really a bird in the capital, I want to ask you, is there anyone I miss?".
