Chapter 39 sixteen to nineteen

sixteen lieutenant beheaded On May 7th of the same year, Dr. Kuro and the judge wanted to send the Heike prisoners to Kanto together.After hearing the news, the Minister of the Interior, Ping Zongsheng, sent an envoy to tell the judge: "I heard that tomorrow I will go to Kanto, and the relationship between father and son is hard to let go. There is an eight-year-old child in the prisoner's register, who may still be alive at this moment. I hope to meet him again." The judge replied: "The bond between father and son is something that no one can part with, and this is also human nature." minister there.Chongfang borrowed a car for the young master, and the two maids who followed him came with the car.The young master has not seen his father for many days, so he is naturally very happy.The minister said: "Hey, come here." So he sat on his knees, stroked his hair, wept unknowingly, and said to the guarding warriors: "There is a saying, let you all know. This is a A child who lost his mother. Although his mother was safe when he was born, she became ill and finally passed away. She once said to me: "In the future, no matter which wife gives birth to a son, please treat him like any other child. He brought him up, as my memorial, don't entrust it to the wet nurse, just push the matter away." I felt sorry for him, so I said: The right guard guard [1] was promoted to a general when the court rebellion was suppressed, This child should be promoted to deputy general. From then on, she was named deputy general. She was very satisfied with this, and when she was dying, she still called this name reluctantly. Finally, she passed away on the seventh day after giving birth. Whenever I see this The child then recalled this incident." While talking, she couldn't stop crying.Those warriors also had tears on their sleeves.The right-hand guard also cried bitterly, and the wet nurse frequently wrung the tears from her sleeves.After a while, the minister said: "Lieutenant General, hurry back, I am satisfied to see you." The young master refused to leave.Seeing this situation, the right guard guard held back his tears and said: "Lieutenant General, go back early tonight, there are still guests coming, so come back early tomorrow morning." The young master held his father's sleeve tightly and said: "No, I won’t go back.” After procrastinating for a long time, I didn’t realize that it was getting dark.Because there was a final farewell, the nurse picked him up and sat in the car. The two maids also covered their faces with their sleeves, wept and said goodbye, and went back with the car.The minister watched them go away, and the affection at this moment was incomparable.It's really sad to think about it! The minister once said: "Whenever I think of his mother's last words, I feel that the child is really pitiful." Therefore, he was not sent to the wet nurse's house, and he stayed with him day and night to raise him. Nominal sect.As he grows up day by day, his appearance becomes more handsome, his appearance becomes more imposing, and the ministers become more affectionate.In the days of wandering in the West Sea, on the mist and in the boats, there is never a moment to leave the left and right.However, since the defeat, it was not until today that we met for the first time.

Kotaro Kawagoe walked up to the judge and asked for instructions: "Young master, what do you plan to do with it?" The waiter said: "The minister will be escorted to Kamakura. The young master is still in Beijing. I will also go to Kamakura. Now I will hand you over to Ogata Sanlang Weiyi. Please get in the car." The young master got into the car calmly. He thought it was the same as yesterday, and he was about to meet his father again.What an empty joy! Turning east at Liutiao Road, the two waitresses thought, "Oh, something is wrong!" and became worried.Not far from the car, there were fifty or sixty sergeants riding towards Heyuan.After a while, the car stopped, spread a piece of fur and asked them to get out of the car.The young master got out of the car and asked in bewilderment, "Where are you taking me?" The two maids couldn't answer either.Kawagoe Kotaro's followers, holding waist knives behind their backs, stood on the left and right of the young master.Seeing that he was about to kill him, the young master threw himself into the nurse's arms as if trying to escape.The warriors couldn't bear to pull him out of their arms, so the wet nurse hugged him tightly, ignoring the people listening, and burst into tears.It was a miserable scene.After a long time, Kotaro Kawagoe Shigebo held back his tears and said: "The matter has come to an end, it's useless to say anything." The servant of Shigefang pulled the young master from the nurse's arms, forced him to bend down on the ground with a waist knife, Finally took his head.These brave men are not wood and stone, and they all shed tears for them.Since the judge had to be examined, the head was sent to the judge.The nurse ran after her barefoot and begged, "Since the man is dead, leave me his head, and I will pay homage to him in the afterlife!" The judge was also very moved, and wept: "You're right, I'll give it back to you." So, the wet nurse hid the head in her bosom, and walked back to the city crying.Five or six days later, two drowned female corpses were found in Guichuan, one of which contained the boy's head, and this person was the lieutenant's wet nurse.The other hugging the corpse was the person who assisted the wet nurse to commit suicide.It is reasonable for a wet nurse to be determined to die in martyrdom, but it is extremely rare to assist others in martyrdom and also die by drowning herself!

-------------------------- [1] Refers to Ping Qingzong, the eldest son of Zong Sheng. -------------------------- seventeen Yaoyue Station【1】 Besides, the minister Ping Zongsheng and his son were escorted by the judge of Dr. Jiulang. They left Awataguchi [2] in the early morning of the seventh day, but saw the imperial palace as if separated by clouds and sky, and the clear water of Fengsaka Pass [3] was in front of them, so they felt sad and sang a song: : Today, leave the old capital, and see the clear spring. How can I pass the level again, Gu Yingchi by the water. Along the way, I was very remorseful in my heart. The judge is a person who values ​​emotions, so he comforted him from many sources.So the minister said to the judge: "Please do your best to save my father and son's life." "Maybe you have migrated to a distant country and a remote island, so you won't lose your life. If anything happens, I would rather redeem your life with meritorious service." Don't worry." "Even if I migrate to the Thousand Islands where the Ainu live, I hope I can survive..." It is a pity that these words come from the head of the Heike family.After traveling for several days, we arrived in Kamakura on the 24th of the same month.

Kajihara Kagetoki arrived one step ahead of Judge, and reported to the Duke of Kamakura: "Now the whole of Japan has surrendered, only your brother Kuro-doctor Judge Yoshitsune will finally be your enemy. During the Battle of Ichinoya, he once said: "If I hadn't swooped down from the Valley of One, the east and west gates would be hard to breach. All captured enemies, dead or alive, should have been sent to my Yoshitsune for inspection, why were they all sent to Fan Lai, who has no military exploits?" 4] Went there. If Fan Lai doesn’t send me the three lieutenant generals, I will definitely ask for it myself.’ The situation is almost like fighting against each other. So I worked together with Doi to imprison the three lieutenant generals in the Doi Jiro's place [5]. Kuro Yoshitsune calmed down." Hearing these words, Kamakura Lord pondered for a moment and said, "Today Kuro is going to Kamakura, you must be vigilant." Running to gather, about a few thousand horsemen and horses gathered.

Set up camp in Jinxize [6], took over the father and son of the Minister of Internal Affairs, and ordered the judge to retreat to Yaoyue Post.The Duke of Kamakura surrounded himself with seven or eight layers of guards, and said to Kuro in this heavy defense: "Kuro is a smart person, and he can climb in and out from under the mat, but I, Lai Chao, will not be caught. It was plotted by someone." Judge Kuro thought for a moment, and said, "Since the crusade against Kiso Yoshinaka last year, and the two battles at Ichinoya and Tanura, I have defeated the Heike family regardless of my life, and retrieved the treasure chests of the god mirror and the god seal intact. I returned the land to the imperial court, and captured the father and son of the General of the Ping family. This time they are escorted here. No matter what doubts you have, you should make it clear to your face. If you reward me according to the routine, I should be promoted to the president of the Nine Kingdoms. Pursue envoys, take on the task of guarding one side in Sanyin, Sanyang or Nankaido. But you let me only rule the country of Yiyu and not enter Kamakura. What does this mean? Pacify the whole of Japan, isn’t it Do you rely on Yizhong and Yoshitsune to be effective? When it comes to seniority, it is often said: "Sons of the same father, the elders should be brothers, and the younger must be younger brothers. If it is about governing the world, of course it should be done by those who are capable." It’s a pity that you didn’t even allow me to meet you this time, but you actually drove me back. As for me, I have nothing to admit to you.” Even if I argue like this, it’s useless.Later, he made several declarations, explaining that he had no intention of disloyalty, but because of the repeated slander at the scene, the Duke of Kamakura ignored them all.The judge finally wrote a letter while crying, and sent it to Ojiang Guangyuan [7]. The full text is as follows:

Yuan Yoshitsune prayed again in fear: Yoshitsune was honored to be selected and appointed as the agent of the Duke of Kamakura. He was honored by the emperor's decree and worshiped as an imperial envoy to crusade against rebellious ministers.It should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, but Ju Nai was slandered, [Great meritorious deeds are ignored, innocent crimes and punishments are imposed on one's body, such is the case for meritorious deeds and no faults,]【9】It is very heartbreaking.Whether the slander is true or not, Kamakura's visit was rejected, and there was no reason to wear it. Suddenly, it has been several days.At this time, my brother's face cannot be knocked on, and the love between brothers and sisters is cut off.Sigh, it is the fate of this life, or the root of the evil of the previous life! Sadly, the spirit of the dead father will not be resurrected, who will mourn for me, who will mourn for me! Therefore, I will write a letter again to briefly describe my feelings : Yoshitsune's parents, who had body, hair, skin, skin, and skin, were not very old, but the ancestors saw their backs and became orphans. Fortunately, a loving mother took pity on them, and took them to Dahe Guoyu Duojun to rely on their uncle and grandfather.But since then, there has never been a moment of peace. Although it has been possible to prolong the years, it is difficult to settle down in the capital, so I have to escape to the remote and despicable land and let the local people drive me away.Fortunately, the time came unexpectedly, and he came to Beijing under the order to crusade against the Heike family.When the army was in full swing, Kiso Yoshinaka was eliminated, and later, in order to completely destroy the Heike family, he sometimes swung his whip and leaped his horse among the cliffs, ignoring his life;Not only that, but the reason why I sleep in the wilderness with armor and armour, is to wash away the shame of my ancestors in Kuaiji because of my ambition to serve in the army, and I have nothing else to ask for.What's more, Yoshitsune's replacement of five lieutenants is an important position in Genji's past dynasties.Even so, today I still have to sigh with deep sorrow.In addition to praying for the blessings of gods and Buddhas, there is only a sincere statement, which can be learned from Ji Dajun.I would like to use the biggest talisman of all the shrines and temples to show that I have no ambitions; I respect the gods and Buddhas all over Japan and show my loyalty.The ruler and the prime number are connected, and I hope to invite you to have a clear view; it is a pity that it is like a stone sinking in the sea, and it has not been forgiven in the end.I am heading towards the Kingdom of God, and I will not enjoy God's injustice, there is nothing else I can ask for.Only one to rely on, the great compassionate ear of my brother.May I have the opportunity to reach my elder brother Yu Cong, if I can be a little more considerate, discern my innocence, forgive me for my innocence, then my elder brother and his family are sincerely doing good deeds and have a family of Yuqing. I have to show my frown for many years, and I can get a lifetime of peace.The book is not exhaustive, but one or two brief introductions.Yoshitsune is apprehensive and sincere.

June 5th of the second year of the Yuan calendar Minamoto Yoshitsune Mamoru Inaba 【10】 -------------------------- [1] Yaoyue Station is a small tribe located in the western suburbs of Kamakura, where a station was set up at that time. 【2】Awataguchi is located in Higashiyama, Kyoto. [3] There is clear water in the Aisakaguan Myojin Shrine, which is a resort often chanted by poets of all ages. [4] Both Fan Lai and Yoshitsune are half-brothers of Minamoto Raizo, see Note 4, Section 11, Volume 8, and Note 10, Section 3, Volume 4.Later, they were all killed by Lai Chao, see the fifth section of the twelfth volume.

[9] The words in parentheses are not found in the major series of classical literature, and are supplemented by the Meiji Academy. [10] Inaba Shou is Oe Hiromoto. -------------------------- eighteen minister beheaded Let's talk about the meeting between Kamakura Gongyuan Yoritomo and the Minister of Internal Affairs Hei Zongsheng.The Lord Kamakura sat in the hall, and asked the ministers to sit in a room directly opposite and across a courtyard, facing each other across the curtain, and Hiki Toshiro was in the middle to pass the message.Lord Kamakura said: "I have no other prejudices against the Heike family, especially if my grandmother and the late Taoist Xiangguo treated me well; it is really a great kindness of Xiangguo to save me from the death penalty and change to exile. Since then, Twenty years have passed without incident. Unexpectedly, the Ping family became rebellious ministers of the court. The Lai Dynasty obeyed the emperor's order to punish the rebellion and counteract the rebellion. Born in the king's land, the edict is hard to disobey. This is a last resort. So it is my honor to meet like this I hope." Ask the competent staff to convey this meaning to the past.When the competent personnel came to the minister, the minister sat upright and obeyed orders.Sitting on the left and right are big names and small names from various countries, as well as many dignitaries in the court, as well as former retainers of the Heike family.They were very dissatisfied with Zong Sheng's demeanor, and commented: "I thought I could avoid death by kneeling and obeying orders! I should have committed suicide in the Western Kingdom, but now I am captured alive, and it is inevitable to bow down here!" tears.Someone else said: "The ancients said: When the tiger is in the deep mountain, all the beasts are terrified; and in the sill, it wags its tail and begs for food [1]. When the tiger is in the deep mountain, all the wild animals are afraid of it, but once it is locked in a cage If you are here, you will be begging for mercy. No matter how brave the general is, he will change his mind after encountering such a situation, and the minister will naturally do the same!"

In addition, although Dr. Kuro's judge made a serious statement, due to Kajihara Kagetoki's slander, Kamakura still did not give a clear answer.Later, he was ordered to say: "Go back to Kyoto." So he got up and returned to Beijing with his minister Ping Zongsheng and his son on June 9 of the same year.The minister was very happy to postpone the execution for a few days.I have guessed many times along the way that I will cut it here; but after passing through one country after another, staying at one stop after another, I finally came to a place called Inaikai in Owari country.This is where the former Zuomatou Yuan Yichao was killed, he thought he must be beheaded here.But it passed safely.So I had the idea that I might be able to avoid death, and said, "Maybe I can survive." In fact, this was completely delusional.Youwei Mendu thought to himself: "How can I save my life? Because of the hot weather, I am afraid that the head will die, so I have to go to the vicinity of the capital before doing it." For fear that the minister would be anxious, it is poor, so he did not say anything. Just keep chanting Buddha in my heart.A few days later, I arrived at the post station in Shinohara, Omi Country, not far from Kyoto.

Judge Yoshitsune is a man of friendship, and when he was three days away from Shinohara, he asked someone to go ahead and invite Master Zhanhao of Benxingfang in Ohara to do a dying Buddhist ritual for Minister Sheng Sheng of the Emperor Pingzong.The minister and son who had been together until yesterday were separated from each other from this morning, so the minister said anxiously: "I'm afraid today is the last deadline." The minister said tearfully, "Where is the right guard now? Let's die together hand in hand, even if the head is gone, let the body lie on the same mat. Parting from life and death is the saddest thing. For seventeen years, I haven't been separated for a single day. I haven't sunk myself in the Western Kingdom It’s all for this child.” Seeing him crying and crying, the mage felt very sad in his heart, but thinking that as a mage, he couldn’t do this, so he suppressed his tears and pretended not to care, saying: “Now you don’t have to I'm thinking about my son. Wouldn't it be more miserable to see each other dying. Originally, people like you who were born with wealth and glory have been rare since ancient times. Being a royal family member, being promoted to the position of minister, the life of glory can be described as unparalleled Now encountering such bad luck is also the karma of the previous life, so there is no need to blame others. The joy of deep meditation in the Dafan Palace [2] is endless. The life of the world is like the dew of lightning, even if it is as hundreds of millions of A lifespan of one year is nothing more than a dream in the end. You have lived for thirty-nine years, and it is only an hour if you think about it. Whoever has tasted the medicine of immortality, who can save the life of his father and mother[4], Qin Shihuang is poor Desire for extravagance, he was finally buried in the tomb of Lishan Mountain; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cherished his life and was greedy for life, and rotted in the moss of Maoling Mausoleum【5】. Those who live will perish, and Shizun is still not immune to the smoke of sandalwood【6】; , Heaven and man still have five days of decline. The Buddha said: "My heart is empty, there is no owner of sin and blessing, and there is no heart to observe the heart, and the dharma can't stand the law." [7] See the good and evil as empty, and naturally follow the Buddha's heart When Amitabha Tathagata endured the five kalpas, he issued a great wish to save all living beings. What kind of people are we, who have been reincarnated for hundreds of millions of kalpas, and returned empty-handed after entering the treasure mountain? Well! Apart from chanting Buddha's name, you must never have other delusional thoughts." Such earnest warnings urged him to recite the Buddha's name.The Minister of Internal Affairs felt that what the mage said was very reasonable, so he suddenly gave up his delusional thoughts, put his palms together facing west, and chanted loudly.At this time, Mr. Juyou Ma Yun pulled out his waist knife, walked quietly from the left to the back, and was about to do it, the minister suddenly stopped reciting Buddha and said, "Youwei Mendu, he has..." The situation is very pitiful.The moment he saw the prince standing behind him, the head fell to the ground.The mage was choked with tears, and the samurai were also very sad, and this prince was a vassal of the Heike family for generations, and a samurai who served the Heizhi Sheng family in Xinzhong Nayan day and night.People ridiculed him and said: "What a flattering, heartless and ungrateful guy!"

Afterwards, the mage still gave precepts to Youweimendu and advised him to recite the Buddha's name.The governor of the right guard asked: "How was the Minister of Internal Affairs when he was dying?" It made people feel very miserable. "Heroic and generous, don't worry." After hearing this, the gatekeeper of the right guard cried happily and said, "There is nothing to worry about anymore, let's do it!" This time it was Horiya Taro who did it.The head was sent to Kyoto by the judge's men, and the remains were collected by the prince, and the father and son were buried in the same tomb.Probably because the Minister of the Interior said that the crime was serious and he didn't want to separate, so he dealt with it like this. On the 23rd of the same month, the heads of the Minister of Internal Affairs and his son were transferred to Kyoto.Jianfeiweishi and others waited in Santiaoheyuan, received the head, and after showing it to the public on the main road, hung it on the cedar tree on the left side of the prison gate.The heads of more than three high-ranking officials were paraded on the main road and then hung on the prison gate. This is unprecedented in foreign countries, but it is the first in our dynasty.During the Heiji era, because of Zhongnayan Fujiwara's crimes were obvious, he once took the lead, but he was not imprisoned.The matter of hanging the head started from the Heike family.Escorted from Xiguo to Kyoto, escorted to Dongguo by Liutiao Road, and then escorted back to Kyoto by Dongguo, after death, he was taken to Xiyou Street by Santiao Dalu to display to the public. -------------------------- [1] Quoted from Sima Qian's "Bao Ren An Shu". [2] Dafan Palace is the palace of Brahma King, deep and quiet. 【3】According to Buddhist legends, the Trayali Heaven is at the top of Mount Sumeru, and people born there can live for hundreds of millions of years. 【4】East father and west mother are Dongfang Shuo and West Queen Mother. [5] The moss of Maoling refers to the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. [6] Sakyamuni was cremated with sandalwood after his death, so there is this saying. 【7】Quoted from "Guan Puxian Sutra", which means that my heart is empty, and the evil and blessings that come from my heart are also empty.The heart is invisible, and all Buddhist teachings do not reside in the teachings. -------------------------- nineteen heavy balance was cut The three Lieutenant Admirals, Hiraohei, are under the custody of Kanosuke Munemo, and have moved to Izu country since last year.The monks in Nara kept demanding that he be "brought here".So he ordered the three grandsons of Minamoto who had entered the Taoist government, and the Izu Tibetan doctor Rai Kane, to escort him to Nara.On the way, without entering Kyoto, I took Otsu, passed through Yamashina, and crossed the Daigo Road to the vicinity of Hino.The wife of Lieutenant Admiral Shigee is the daughter of Nagon Fujiwara in Torikai [1], and the adopted daughter of Gojo Dai Nagon Fujiwara Kunissuna. Dian Shi [2].After the three lieutenant generals were captured in Ichinoya, she was still serving the late emperor. During the Battle of Tanpu, she wanted to throw herself into the sea, but was caught by brave warriors. Later, she returned to her hometown and lived with her sister Fujiwara Chengko【3】 Hino.I heard that Lieutenant General's fate is like morning dew on the tip of a leaf. In the past, we could only meet each other in dreams. Now I hope we can meet each other. If not, we will have to wash our face with tears day and night. There is no other comfort.The three lieutenant generals said to the guarding warriors: "I am very relieved to have been taken care of by you these days. I have one thing to ask you for the last time. I have no children, and I have nothing to worry about in the world. The wife who has been staying with me for a long time, I heard that she lives in Hino, I want to meet her and tell her about the things behind me." So I asked for a moment of leave.The samurai were not wood and stone, they all shed tears and said that there was no hindrance, so they allowed him to leave.The lieutenant general was very happy, so he asked someone to come in and said to his wife, "Is the attendant Da Nayandian here? The three lieutenant generals are going to pass by here and go to Nara, and now they are standing in the courtyard waiting for our meeting." Before she finished listening, the lady hurriedly asked : "Where is it? Where is it?" Running out of the inner room, I saw a man wearing a straight blue cloth pattern and a black hat, black and thin, standing by the corridor, isn't this him! Madam go Going to the door curtain, he said, "Is it a dream, or is it reality? Come in!" As soon as the madam finished speaking, Chong Heng was already in tears.Madam also felt that her eyes were dim and her heart was bewildered, and she was speechless for a while.The three lieutenant generals lifted the curtain, leaned in, and said weepingly: "I should have died in the battle last spring, but because of the serious crimes, retribution was inevitable, I was reduced to captives, paraded in the streets, and suffered a lot in Kyoto and Kamakura." Humiliation, I am about to be extradited to the Nara monks, and I will be killed soon. I am honored to see you today, and I have no regrets in my heart. I wanted to cut off a strand of blue hair and leave it for you as a souvenir of your family, but because I didn’t get it Permitted, but this has not been done.” So he grabbed a strand of hair from his forehead, bit off the part he could get with his teeth, and gave it to his wife, saying, please keep it as a souvenir.Madam has always been worried about his safety, and today she is even more sad and uneasy, crying: "Since we left, I want to be buried in the bottom of the sea like the three Madam Echizen[4], because I don't know whether you are dead or alive, I always hope One day, the husband and wife will meet unexpectedly, so I have been dragging my life and procrastinating until now. But I never thought that today I will meet forever, it is really sad! In the past, I lingered for years, hoping for a good fortune..." Talking about the back and forth of the heart, the endless tears are nothing but tears.Then he said: "The clothes you are wearing are wrinkled out of shape, let me change them for you." After speaking, he took out a jacket and white casual clothes.The three lieutenant generals put on their clothes, handed the old clothes to the wife and said: "Keep it as a souvenir." The lady said: "Of course I keep this, and I would like to ask you to leave some handwriting as a long-term souvenir." After taking out the inkstone, The Lieutenant General wrote a song while weeping: Leave the old clothes stained with tears to you, never forget; Qingqing changes into her new clothes, and she will say goodbye forever. Madam immediately sang a song, the song goes: What's the use of taking off old clothes, To commemorate you forever. "If there is a destiny, we will be born together in the next life. Pray to the gods and Buddhas, let us be born on the same lotus leaf! The sun has already set in the west, and Nara is still far away. The warriors will get impatient." walked out.The lady grabbed her sleeves and said: "Oh, just stay a little longer!" "Please understand my feelings, life is always inevitable, let's see you in the next life." After saying that, she walked away.Indeed, this was the last time we met in this life. Although I wanted to turn around and linger for a while, I felt that there might be something wrong with being so tender, so I resisted and left.Madam crawled under the curtain of the house and cried loudly, and the sound was heard far outside the door. The lieutenant general hadn't urged his horse to start, tears were pouring down, and even the road became blurred.I feel that this meeting has increased melancholy, and I regret it very much.The madam wanted to run to follow, but she couldn't help it, so she covered her face with her sleeves and cried bitterly. Chongheng was escorted to Nara, the southern capital, where the monks discussed and said: "This Chongheng is a villain who is rebellious and immoral. His crimes exceed the three thousand and five punishments [5]. Evil deeds must be rewarded with evil. Those who rebel against the law should be shown to the public in the area of ​​Todaiji Temple and Xingfuji Temple, and then they will be cut with a saw.” The old monks said: “This is not in line with the rules of the monks. 7] It’s enough to behead nearby.” So he returned the weight to the warrior.The samurai took him to the bank of the Mujin River to behead him. There were thousands of monks and monks watching, and countless ordinary residents. Among the samurai who accompanied the three lieutenant generals on weekdays, there was a carpenter named You Ma Yunzhi, who was now working in Batiao Women's Court [8], and wanted to see the lieutenant general's dying situation, so he came here with a whip and a horse. Just in time for the execution to be executed, he pushed away thousands of onlookers, came to the lieutenant general, cried and said: "I know the time to pay homage to your last moment, and I came here specially." The lieutenant general said: "Your My heart is really touching, because I have sinned so much, I really want to be killed while worshiping Buddha." Zhishi said, "It's not difficult." He discussed with the guarding warriors and greeted a Buddha statue nearby, which happened to be Amitabha Buddha.Put the Buddha statue on the sandy ground by the river, untie the knot tied to the cuff of the hunting jacket at Zhishi, put it on the Buddha's hand, and let the lieutenant general hold the other end.The lieutenant general grabbed this end and prayed to the Buddha: "It is said that Tiaopo Daduo [9] committed the three crimes of rebellion and burned the scriptures that recorded 80,000 teachings, but Sakyamuni predicted that he would become the king of heaven in the next life. The sins he committed Although it is deep, but the fate of meeting the holy religion is not shallow, and finally achieved good results. Now Chongheng has committed a rebellious crime, but it is not out of his original intention, but because he goes along with the secular. Who would dare not be born in Sri Lanka? King's order; whoever is born in Sri Lanka, who dares to disobey his father's words; if he says east, he will go east, and if he says west, he will go west, and he will not hesitate. To study the right and wrong, there is the Buddha's enlightenment. But my punishment is in front of me, my There is only a moment left in my life, so I have a lot of regrets and infinite sorrow! However, the realm of Buddhism is compassionate, and there are many opportunities to help sentient beings. Only the meaning of the teaching [10], reverse is obedience, this text is inscribed in the heart. One chanting of Amitabha Buddha will eliminate immeasurable sins. I hope that the adverse conditions will turn into good ones, so that I can enter the Ninth Grade Pure Land when I recite the Buddha's name for the last time." So he recited the Buddha ten times aloud, and then he stretched his neck and killed him.Despite the serious crimes in the past, seeing this situation now, thousands of monks and guarding warriors all shed tears.Afterwards, Chongheng's head was hung on a nail in front of the grand archway of Banruo Temple.This is because Chongheng burned down the Jialan Temple here during the Zhicheng Battle [11]. Mrs. Da Nayan Dianshi thought that even though the head was gone, the remains should be taken back for worship.So he sent a shoulder car to pick it up.Sure enough, the remains were left in the same place, so they were collected in the house and carried back to Hino.When Madam saw her at the time, one can imagine the grief in her heart.I thought that the remains were still as majestic and imposing as before, but due to the scorching heat, it has completely become unremarkable.But it couldn't be put on hold like this, so I begged many monks from the nearby Fajie Temple to chant sutras for him.Later, under the kind arrangement of the eminent monk Junchengfang of the Great Buddha Hall, the head was sent to Hino by the monks, and cremated together with the remains.The remains were sent to Gaoye, the cemetery was built in Hino, and his wife also became a nun, praying for the lieutenant general, the situation was very tragic. -------------------------- [1] Fujiwara Yumi, according to historical facts, should be Fujiwara Imi.Torikai is the place name of his residence.
