Chapter 40 Eleventh volume one to five

one big earthquake The Ping family is destroyed, the Western Kingdom is pacified, all countries are under the jurisdiction of the State Council, and the manor is governed by the lord.[1] Around noon on July 9th of the same year, the earth shook frequently for a long time.Within Chi County [2], on the shore of Baihe River [3], six Buddhist temples were destroyed by the earthquake, the nine-storied pagoda collapsed six floors, and 17 of the thirty-three Buddhist halls in Dechangshou Temple [4] collapsed Today, from the imperial palace to the mansions of officials, as well as shrines, Buddhist pavilions, private houses and shops everywhere, all are in ruins.The sound of houses collapsing is like thunder, and the dust that explodes is like a column of smoke; the sky and the earth are dark, and the sun does not see;The earth cracks and water gushes like springs; rocks disintegrate and roll down to the bottom of valleys; mountains collapse and rivers are silted up;The flood is soaring, and it is difficult to be rescued even if you climb the mountain; the fire is raging, even if you are across the river, it is too late to avoid it.This is a deplorable earthquake.Being neither a bird, it is difficult to soar high into space; nor is it a dragon, it is impossible to leap to the clouds.Therefore, countless people were crushed and buried to death in Baihe, Liuboluo and the capital.Among the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind [5], water, fire, and wind often cause disasters, but only the earth rarely changes.This time, for some unknown reason, everyone in Beijing was so frightened that they closed their doors and closed their doors. Whenever the sky shook and the earth shook, they felt that the time of death had come, and everyone chanted loudly.People in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s say that the world is about to be destroyed, not today, but in the Ming Dynasty, and they all panic.When the young people heard this, they cried even more.At this time, the Emperor was traveling in Xinkumano. Because too many people had died, and the filth and uncleanness were unsuitable for visiting the gods and worshiping Buddha, he hurried back to Liupoluo.Along the way, the monarchs and ministers were all suspicious and anxious.Emperor Empress Toba suspended the phoenix chariot in Chiting, Empress Empress Empress Shirakawa temporarily set up tents in the South Court; Empresses, concubines, and princes were all knocked down by the palace, and they left one after another in a shoulder car or an ox cart.The doctors of astronomy rushed forward and said: "There will be aftershocks at the second hour of Haizi tonight." The terrified situation cannot be described.

In ancient times, during the period of Emperor Wentoku, there was a great earthquake on March 8th in the third year of Qiheng (856), and the hair of the Buddha in Todaiji Temple was shaken off.During the period of Emperor Suzaku, there was a great earthquake on April 5th in the second year of Tianqing (939). The emperor left the treasure hall and built a five-foot-high curtain in front of Changning Hall to temporarily avoid the earthquake.This is an ancient thing, needless to say.The current state of affairs is probably unprecedented: the ten good emperors [1] fled in the dust and were buried in the bottom of the sea;From ancient times to the present, resentful souls are the most terrifying. People of insight are all lamenting how unpredictable the world is.

-------------------------- 【1】Ten good emperors, here refers to the young emperor Antoku who is supported by the Heike family. -------------------------- two dyer On August 22 of the same year, the late father of two courtiers in Kamakura Minamoto Yoshitomo, the real head of the late Sabatou Yoshitomo, was hung on the chest by the Kaohsiung Master Wenjue【1】; [2]'s head was hung under the neck by Wen Jue's disciples and sent to Kamakura.In the fourth year of Zhicheng (1180), Venerable Wen Jue took out the head to inspire Lai Chao to raise troops, but it was not the real remains of the left horse head, but Wen Jue found an irrelevant old skeleton at random. Wrapped in white cloth.Lai Chao has always believed it to be true since he raised his troops until he pacified the world, and now he brings up this matter again.At that time, Zuo Matou Yichao's favorite cloth dyer was very sad when he saw Zuo Matou's head hanging in front of the prison gate, and no one was offering sacrifices to him. Lower the head and put it away.He said: "Although Bingwei Zuo has been exiled, he will surely make a fortune in the future, and he will find him when he gains power in the future." So he buried his head deep in Yuanjue Temple in Dongshan.Now that Wen Jue found out about this, he brought the dyer to Kamakura.After receiving the report that they will arrive in Kamakura today, Minamoto and Yoritomo went to the Katase River to meet him.Wearing mourning clothes, he mourned all the way to Kamakura. He invited eminent monks to stand on the stage, and Yoritomo himself stood in the courtyard to hold the ceremony of honoring his father's head. The situation was very sad.All the big and small names present were in tears.After that, he dug the rocks and built a temple, enshrining his father's remains in it, known as Shengchangshou Temple.When the imperial court learned of this, in order to express their condolences, they specially named the former Zuomatou Yichao as the two ministers.At that time, the imperial envoy who conveyed the imperial edict was Zuo Da, who identified the source and was loyal.Everyone in the world said: Lai Chaoqing is famous for his bravery. Not only did he build a family, but he also made his deceased father an official and a nobleman. It is really rare.

-------------------------- 【1】Master Wenjue, please refer to Sections 7, 8, 9, and 10 of Volume 5. [2] Kamada Bingwei is Kamada Jingqing, see the tenth chapter of the tenth volume. -------------------------- three Pingda Nayan was exiled On September 23 of the same year, the Duke of Kamakura announced to the court that the rest of the Heike family in Beijing should be exiled to various countries.So they exiled Pingda Nagon Shizhongqing to Noto country, his son Sanuki Lieutenant General Shishi to Shangzong country, Nei Zangtou Shinki to Aki country, Military Minister Shofu Masaki to Oki country, and both monks were all. When he really went to the Awa country, the abbot of Hoshoji Nengyuan went to the Bingo country, and Zhong Nayan lawyer Zhong quickly went to the Musashi country.Or go to the misty waves of the West Sea, or to the top of the floating clouds in Dongguan. I don’t know where is the place to live, and I don’t know when it will be the end of the meeting. Everyone bid farewell with tears. The feeling of sadness can be imagined.

Among them, Pingda Nayan went to bid farewell to Jianli Menin, who lived in Yoshida's residence, and cried: "Shi Zhong was sentenced to a heavy sentence, and now he is going to the place of distribution. If I stay in Kyoto, I can still try my best to take care of you. , It will be difficult to know about your situation in the future. I feel really uncomfortable when I leave the capital with such uneasiness." Jianli Menyuan said: "Isn't it true that the closest person in the past is you. You Once I leave, who else will take pity on me and visit me?" Tears could not help but flow down.

Speaking of this Dainagon, he is the grandson of the former country of the Dewa country, Heihei, the grandson of the Ministry of War Daisuke [1], and the son of the Minister of the Zuo, the brother of Hirako, the elder brother of Jianchun Menyuan, and the relative of Emperor Takakura; The prestige and prosperity of the present age are by no means comparable to ordinary people, and the wife who entered the Taoist country, that is, the second-rank wife who lives in the Hachijo mansion, is also his sister, so she can seek official positions as she pleases, and she will be promoted to a senior official in a short time. The two great nayans have been appointed three times as inspectors and non-violators.When he was working in the Prosecutor's Office, he searched for thieves, caught robbers, cut off people's right arms without asking why, and punished people for exile, so the world called it evil.When Hanakata went to Nishikoya Island to convey the imperial edict to return Emperor Andoku and the three kinds of artifacts, he ordered someone to burn the word "Namikata" on Hanakata's face【2】 idea.

Considering that he was the elder brother of the deceased women's court, the Emperor wanted to keep him in Kyoto because he missed the women's court, but because of these evil deeds and deep grievances, he had to give up.Judge Jiulang was related to him and tried his best to pardon his crimes, but to no avail.His son was an attendant of Shi's family. He was only sixteen years old, not high enough to commit high crimes, and temporarily lived in his uncle Shiguangqing's house.The Shi family and his mother, Shuai Dianshi [3] grabbed Da Nayan's skirt and sleeves, saying their final farewell.Da Nayan cheered himself up and said: "It can't be said that this is a farewell." Saying this, it made him even more sad.At this old age, I parted from my good wife and beloved son; the capital I was used to living in was thrown far away; the Hokuriku region, which I had only heard about from others before, was now my place of exile; just like this, I traveled thousands of miles The long journey of migration.Congren said: "That's Shiga and Tangzaki, and this is Mano Haikou and Jiaotianpu [4]." After hearing this, Da Nayan wept sadly and sang:

It should be difficult for exiles to return to Beijing. Missing his wife and children from afar and crying; Katada Urakami Fisherman's Net, The dripping water is like a fountain of tears. This is exactly: yesterday drifting on the misty waves of the West Sea, resentment and hatred will be bitter [5], and hatred will be accumulated in the boat; today buried under the white snow of the northern country, love will be parted from suffering [6], sorrow will overcome the sorrow of hometown. -------------------------- [1] The deputy minister of the Ministry of War is called Daisuke of the Ministry of War.Quan is an official outside the quota.

[3] Shuai Dianshi, see Note 1, Section 4, Volume 3. 【4】These are place names on the west bank of Lake Biwa. 【5】Resentment and bitterness is a Buddhist language, referring to the pain of meeting enemies. 【6】Love and parting pain is a Buddhist language, referring to the pain of parting from a loved one. -------------------------- Four Tosabo was beheaded Let's say that there are ten daimyos under the command of Kuro Judge Minamoto Yoshitsune, who were originally sent by Kamakura Kominamoto Yoritomo. Now that they heard that Yoshitsune was under suspicion, they discussed privately and went back to Kamakura quietly.Yoshitsune and Yoritomo are brothers, and they have vowed to be like father and son. Since the first month of last year when Kiso Yoshinaka was punished, they have repeatedly attacked the Heike family, and finally wiped out the Hera family this spring.So far, the world is at peace, and the world is calm. It should be rewarded on merit, but unexpectedly, such a suspicion has arisen. From the emperor to the people, everyone is confused about this.The reason for this is that last spring when Watanabe of the Settsu Kingdom was arranging ships and marching towards Yashima, where the Heikes were entrenched, there was a dispute with Keito Kajihara over whether to set up a reverse scull【1】, and Kajihara accepted Yoshitsune Because of his ridicule, he held a grudge and repeatedly slandered Lai Chao.Now it is said: Yoshitsune had the intention of rebellion, let the daimyos withdraw to Kamakura, demolished the two bridges of Uji and Seta, and caused the hearts of the people in the capital to fluctuate, which is really hateful.So Minamoto Yoritomo summoned Tosabo Changjun and told him, "Abbot, go to Kyoto and pretend to worship Buddha, and wait for the opportunity to get rid of him."

On September 29th of the same year, Tosabo arrived in Kyoto, but he still did not go to visit Judge Kuro the next day.When the judge learned that Changjun was going to Beijing, he ordered Musangbo Benqing to bring him into the mansion immediately, and asked, "Why is there no letter from Lord Kamakura?" Recently, the capital is safe and sound, thanks to the guardianship of the magistrate here. That’s all he said.” The magistrate said: “It’s nonsense! You were ordered to kill me, right? What are you talking about? Let the daimyos withdraw to Kamakura, demolish Uji, The two bridges in Setian caused people to fluctuate in the capital, which is really abominable. Abbot, you go to Kyoto and pretend to worship Buddha, and wait for the opportunity to get rid of him.’ Isn’t that what you said?” Chang Jun was shocked, and argued: “ How can there be such a thing, I came to visit Kumano Shrine because I made a vow in the past and now I want to fulfill it.” At this time, the judge asked again: “Because of Jingshi’s slander, I can’t enter Kamakura, and I can’t meet my brother. , I was driven back, why is this?” Chang Jun replied: “No matter what happened, I am a bright person and do not do secret things, I can swear to the gods, write a petition on the spot【2】 Here you are." "Anyway, I believe Kamakura Lord has malicious intentions." When the judge said, his face became very scary.In order to save his life, Chang Jun immediately wrote seven papers of petition, some were burned to ashes and drank, and some were presented to the shrine; so he was put back at that time.When he returned to his residence, he immediately sent an order to the Habayashi Army guarding the palace, and these sergeants flocked there that night.

The judge has a beloved girlfriend named Ah Jing, who is the daughter of a singing girl named Ji Zen Master.Ah Jing and the judge never separated, she said to the judge: "The main road is full of warriors, there is no order to summon, why is the Habayashi army so noisy. I think it must have something to do with the mage who wrote the invitation during the day. "So he summoned three or four bald boys [3] who had been used by Liu Poluo to enter the Dao Xiangguo, and sent two of them to inquire about the situation.But after a long time, I didn't come back.He also thought it would be more convenient for women to go out, so he sent a maid to inquire again.After a while, he ran back and reported: "Both bald boys were killed outside the gate of the Tosabo. Armor, it looks like it is about to go to battle, and there is no sign of going to the temple to worship Buddha." The judge heard this and said: Send troops immediately.So Ah Jing helped him put on the armor, only fastened the top knot, and went out with the waist knife, saddled the horse in front of the middle gate, ordered the gate to be opened, and waited for the soldiers to gather on the horse.In an instant, forty or fifty soldiers in neat armor galloped to the door, shouting together.Standing on his silver stirrups, the judge stood up on his horse and said loudly: "Whether it is a night battle or a day battle, there is no one in Japan who can easily defeat my Yoshitsune." After that, the single horse let out a cry and galloped with a whip. The fifty or so warriors flashed a way to let him go ahead. Eda Genzo, Kumai Taro, Musashibo Benkei and other warriors who are worth a thousand, immediately followed and galloped away.Afterwards, the warriors from all over the place thought that the judge's mansion was under attack, so they rushed over from their respective residences, and soon gathered sixty or seventy horsemen.Although Tosaobo fought against the enemy bravely, the sergeants he led were beaten and fled around without much confrontation. Not many survived, but many were killed.Seeing that the situation was not good, Tosabo took the opportunity to escape to Mount Anma and hide.The temple in the mountain was originally the former residence of Judge Yoshitsune, so the mage in the mountain tied up the Tosa workshop and delivered it to the judge the next day.It is said that he was caught hiding in a place called Sengzheng Valley. Tosabo was brought into the Great Court, wearing a dark purple straight gown and a head scarf used by monks.The judge laughed and said: "Abbot, you can write the letter of invitation, so it has come true!" Tosafang didn't panic, sat upright, and laughed loudly: "I wrote it seriously, and I deserve to be punished by God." Orders are more important than one's own life, and his ambition is commendable. If you cherish your life, I can let you go back to Kamakura." Tosabo replied: "This statement is wrong! If you really cherish your life, can you save me? Kamakura Lord Cang thought that I was the only one who could get rid of Yoshitsune. Since I accepted the mission, I handed over my life to Lord Kamakura. How can I go back on my word. But please be merciful, and beheaded as soon as possible!" The judge said: "Since If that's the case, let's cut it off." So he pulled Liutiao Heyuan and beheaded him.His death was almost unheard of. -------------------------- [1] For setting up the reverse scull, please refer to the first section of the eleventh volume. 【2】The starting letter is a booklet swearing to the gods and Buddhas. 【3】The bald boy is the spy, see the fourth section of the first volume. -------------------------- Fives judge run away Let's say there is a handyman named Shinzaburo Adachi.Kamakura Gongyuan Yoritomo once said to the judge: "Although this man is a handyman, he is very smart. I will leave it to you." So he gave it to the judge.In fact, Yoritomo had secretly ordered this person: "Secretly monitor Kuro's actions, and report to me at any time." Now that he saw Tosabo being killed, he drove day and night to Kamakura to report to Minamoto Yoshitomo.So Lai Chao ordered that his younger brother, Sanhe Shou Fan Lai, be the main attacker.Although Fan Lai repeatedly evaded, Lai Chao resolutely refused, and had no choice but to put on his armor and come to pay his respects.Lai Chao said: "You don't want to learn the Yijing." Fan Lai was very frightened when he heard this, and immediately took off his armor and stopped going to Beijing.In order to show that he was not unfaithful, he wrote ten statements every day.I wrote it during the day and read it over and over again in the courtyard at night.In this way, he wrote a thousand sheets for a hundred days, but to no avail, and was finally killed.After that, he ordered Hojo Shiro Shizheng as the general to go to Beijing to punish Yoshitsune.The judge heard the news and wanted to flee to Kyushu. Ogata Sanlang Weiyi advised him: "At first the Heike family wanted to enter Kyushu, but they were not accepted. The people there are strong enough to exclude foreigners." The judge said, "I just want to use them. "Then, Kikuchi Erlang Gao Zhi under your account is their old enemy, please hand it over to me, and kill him to beg him." So the judge handed Gao Zhi over without hesitation, dragged Liu Tiao Heyuan to behead him class.Since then, Ogata Weiyi has been appreciated by the judge. On November 2 of the same year, Dr. Jiulang judged the official Yoshitsune to pay homage to the Emperor, and said through the courtiers of Dazangqing Taijing: "Yijing has always been loyal to the king, which does not need to be repeated. But Lai Chao listened to the slander of his subordinates and wanted to harm the emperor. As for me, I have no choice but to transfer to Kyushu and implore the Emperor to issue an imperial decree." "The Lai Dynasty will get news of this matter, what should I do?" the Emperor asked the ministers for their opinions. "If Yoshitsune stays in the capital, the Eastern Kingdom's army will swarm to attack, and there will be no peace in Kyoto at that time. If he is sent to Kyushu, chaos in Beijing may be avoided." All the ministers agreed in this way.So the judge obeyed the emperor's order and personally became a general. He led Saburo Ogata, Usuki, Toji, Matsuura and other soldiers from various ethnic groups in Kyushu with a total of more than 500 riders. They set off from Kyoto on the third day of the next day.Before leaving, there was no disturbance, and the journey was set off peacefully. Ota Taro Laiji, a member of the Minamoto clan of the Settsu Kingdom, thought: "Since he walks in front of my door, how can he let him pass in vain." He chased him to a place called Kawaharajin and fought him.The judge had five hundred riders, and Ota Taro had only sixty. The judge surrounded him and shouted: "Don't leave any one behind, don't let him escape!"Ota Taro himself was wounded, many of his subordinates died in battle, and his horse was shot in the belly by an arrow. He was defeated and fled.The judge sacrificed the captured head to the God of War, thinking that "the flag has been won", he was very happy, so he took a boat from Dawupu [1] and sailed south.It happened that the strong west wind blew them to Jipu, so they took advantage of the opportunity to hide in the depths of Mount Yoshino.Because of being attacked by Yoshino monks, he fled to Nara again.In Nara, he was attacked by Nara monks again, so he turned back to Kyoto, went further to the north, and finally fled to Oshu.When he set off from the capital, he took a dozen women with him, and he got rid of them when he lived in Jipu.These people panicked, some were under the pine trees, some were on the beach, some were dragging their skirt pants, some were bending over their pillow sleeves, crying and shouting loudly.The priest of Sumiyoshi was very sympathetic and sent them all back to Kyoto.The samurai relied on by the judge included his uncle Shintasaburo Mr. Yoshiken, Juro Tibetan expert, Ogata Saburo Oyoyoshi and others. They don't know each other's whereabouts.The fact that they were blown away by the west wind was said to be caused by the ghosts of the Heike family.On November 7 of the same year, Hojo Shiro Shizheng, as the representative of the two courtiers of Kamakura Genji Lai Chaoqing, led more than 60,000 horses to Kyoto.Please punish Yiyu Shouyuan Yoshitsune, Bizen Shougen expert, and Mr. Nobutasaburo Minamoto Yoshiken.Immediately issued an imperial decree, allowing him to play.A few days ago, that is, on November 2, Minamoto Yoshitsune's petition was approved, announcing his intention to abandon Minamoto Yoshitomo; batch.It is really sad that there is no peace in the world! -------------------------- [1] Daimoura is located on the coast of Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture.
