Chapter 8 Chapter 8: Zhong Ming's Disturbance

In the nineteenth year of Qingchang, Kyoto. I don't know when, people call the consecration ceremony of the Great Buddha Hall as the 17th anniversary ceremony of the late Taige.Counting it, the eighteenth day of the eighth month of this year is indeed the seventeenth anniversary of Hideyoshi's death.The world recalled the grand occasion of Hideyoshi's seventh death day, and they were full of longing for this time: Even Hideyoshi's seventh death day was held so grandly, and this time's death day must be an unprecedented grand ceremony... In fact, behind this expectation, there is also a great anxiety hidden.It wasn't until the Great Fan Bell was cast that the uneasiness eased a little.The foreign religion turmoil that shocked the world for a while gradually faded from the memory of the people.When Tadashi Okubo came to destroy the church and arrested those who resisted the order, people were terrified, thinking that the world would fall into chaos.But afterwards, people discovered that everything was as usual.The big bell tower was built, and the big fan bell, which was widely discussed, was also transported to the side of the bell tower.In order to protect the project, Osaka sent as many as 3,000 samurai.In order to feast their eyes on the big clock, a large number of people gathered, and the warriors chased them away loudly, as if they were facing an enemy.

Perhaps because of a defect in some part of the project, this gilded bronze Buddha collapsed due to an earthquake in the second year of Kanbun (1662). The shogunate melted down the big Buddha and recast it into Kanbun Tongbao. However, Fanzhong has always preserved its majesty to later generations.This is something for later, don't say anything.It's just that the fan bell, which is said to be in danger of cursing Tokugawa, has been left intact in later generations. What kind of meaning is contained in it is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.In short, the Dafan Bell is one foot four feet high, nine feet two inches in diameter, and weighs fourteen thousand guan.According to reports, there are still some boasters who ask their wives to bring incense money to pray.In a word, the world's response to the giant clock was extremely enthusiastic.

Itakura Katsushige, the representative of the company, also came to watch the big clock under the guidance of Katagiri Kasumi, who was rushing to work with red eyes.Only Moto Ami Koetsu and Chaya's wife, Ami, accompanied him. Needless to say, this is not a public inspection. Sheng Zhong can tell at a glance that this clock will bring great problems in the future. When Qi Yuan untied the brand-new mat and let Sheng Zhong see the inscription written by Elder Han clearly, Sheng Zhong hurriedly turned his face away, stared at Ben Ami Guangyue and said: "It's really good, it's really good."

Before returning to Suoshidai's mansion, Shengzhong's expression was solemn and he didn't say a word. Honami Koetsu has also sensed the seriousness of the situation.The number of people above is increasing day by day, although with the efforts of Suo Sidai, the skyrocketing price of goods has been restrained, but the shops and inns are already overcrowded.Except for those who visit mountains and worship Buddha, almost all monasteries are crowded with ronin of unknown origin. Returning to Suo Sidai's mansion and entering Shengzhong's guest room, Guangyue took off the Zongjiang turban that she had just worn recently, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "It is estimated that there are as many as 300,000 influxes."

Ami silently took out a small book from her pocket and handed it to Guangyue, fearing that Guangyue was entrusting the tea house to conduct some investigation.Itakura Katsushige glanced at it, and silently wiped off his sweat. "That's it..." Guangyue murmured while flipping through the small book, "About 160,000 to 70,000 ronin flooded into the top... Among them, 70% were provided by Osaka." Katsushige Itakura lightly pulled the shredded tobacco tray in front of him, "That's because there are people like Dewa Sakazaki." "In case of war, there are three people who will turn to Tokugawa."

"Thirty percent? The old man is too naive." Sheng Chong sighed heavily, "I don't think it is two percent." Guangyue shook her head earnestly, "People look at the immediate interests, and Daban is sure to lose. How can he be supported by others?" "No." Sheng Zhong interrupted him, "The old man doesn't know something. People in the world are always interested in gambling, and they always hope to have unexpected gains. It is precisely because of this thought that they rush forward recklessly." Then, he took out a small card. Pass the piece of paper to Guangyue.

Guangyue unfolded the paper silently in front of Ami.Although he didn't explicitly ask Ami to take a look, Katsushige didn't show any intention of blaming him. The piece of paper reads "Sanada Zaemon Sakimura, 500,000 koku", and then lists the names of Nagasogabe Mori, Goto Uhei, Miudanemon, Mori Katsunaga and others."The entire territory of Tosa" is written on the back of Nagasoga, "Three Thousand Stones" on the back of Goto, and "Two Thousand Stones" on the back of the Gotuan. Honami Koetsu shook his head with his lips curled, "Sanada is only a hundred thousand shi at best, and there are more than 10,000 shi left."

Katsushige turned around and said, "Will I waste my life in Owari, or will I seize the world? I always see you fighting with this slogan all your life. This kind of gambling has been deeply rooted in the hearts of subsequent generals. It can be said that, This is Zong Jiangong's relic. What does the old gentleman say?" Honami Koyue nodded solemnly and said: "I often think about this question. The late Lord Nobunaga once forced the Great Imperial Palace to fight on the battlefield, plunder with guns, and invade with swords. It is Nobunaga-kun who instills such a love of war in the generals of the world."

"That's right." Itakura Katsushige pointed at the note with his fan and said, "This habit is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the world. They are all bait, and in this way, it will give people an impression that the more people who kill people, get more goods, and take risks, the more they can make a fortune, and few people doubt this." "No, the person who not only dares to question this, but also strives to maintain the peace and morals of the world is the Great Imperial Palace. Therefore, it can be said that the late Lord Nobunaga and the Great Imperial Palace are almost sworn enemies."

"Incisive!" Katsushige kept nodding, "Yes, the belligerent temperament of Lord Nobunaga's era has become a great enemy in the peaceful world. Once a person's mind develops a habit, he will fall into a situation from which he cannot extricate himself. .” "That's a good point. Recently, Guangyue has also suddenly realized that Lord Nobunaga's boasting of force, in fact, the person who suffered the most is the late Taige..." "Oh? The late Taige?" "Yes. Taiko only learned military conquest from Lord Nobunaga, and became a master of it. Although he realized his wish to unify the world with Lord Nobunaga, Lord Nobunaga did not teach him what to do afterwards Therefore, he wanted to extend his hand from Goryeo to the Ming Dynasty, but suffered such a disastrous defeat, and involved himself in it. But this is not all the Taige's fault, and the reason is also because of the wrong path that Lord Nobunaga led earlier."

"Exquisite, the old man's thinking is really far-reaching." "Before, Guangyue didn't think of this because of stupidity. New things will always become old, and Guangyue just realized it suddenly." "What is new always becomes old?" "Yes. It changes with each passing day, and time will not stay in one place. This is the way of heaven and earth." "En." Sheng Zhong tilted his head and sighed for a while, Fang said, "Then, regarding this consecration, if I want to stop it now, what kind of wind should I blow first?" "Guangyue has also seen some eyebrows." "Oh? Then tell me quickly, is there a quick solution to avoid chaos?" Hearing Shengzhong's words, Guangyue's mouth showed a hint of sneer, and he shook his head vigorously. "You mean, it can't be decided quickly?" Itakura Katsushige asked in surprise. Motoami Koetsu still shook his head, and the wrinkles of ridicule deepened, "This is a decisive battle between Nobunaga's undead and the Imperial Palace. If the battle is resolved quickly, Nobunaga will win." "Oh, this is interesting. Yes, this is indeed a decisive battle between Nobunaga, who believes in the supremacy of military power, and the Great Imperial Palace, who longs for peace in the world." "That being the case, then first order the suspension of the consecration ceremony, and wait patiently for a while." "Oh." "Of course, ordinary people will think this method is mediocre, thinking that this way, it will give Osaka a chance to prepare, but Guangyue doesn't think so." Guangyue resumed his serious expression that was a bit too serious, and lowered his voice , "First of all, order to suspend the consecration ceremony and wait and see what happens. Those who are determined to enter the city on a whim will be discouraged and will recalculate. Once they rethink, things will be easy. The number of people entering the city will not increase. We give They take full account of the time, let them think about who will win? This is not only a winning strategy, but also a kind of caring full of love." Itakura Katsushige seemed to stop breathing, staring straight at Koetsu's forehead. "I might as well regard those who are willing to die for the Toyotomi family as gold in the sand. They have completely different plans. Some want to be martyrs for God, and some want to stand out. Therefore, if you chase them too early, you may be forced to enter the city. Everyone jumps over the wall in a hurry." "Ok." "Also, if the number of people entering the city drops sharply, the main battle group in Osaka City will lose their claim and disperse. Even if they can't be so clear-cut, at least we can see the movements of the wanderers clearly. Our opponent is Lord Nobunaga. , so it is even more important to calm down and wait for the best policy." Then Itakura Katsushige lightly patted his knee and said, "Yes, how can there be such a path in heaven!" "Yes. Even if you wait for a while, war will still happen. If that's the case, you don't need to rush for quick success. My lord slowly circles them up, and then asks them to think about whether it is better to fight or to be peaceful... The people in the world don't like war In this way, there are countless supportive people behind the Great Imperial Palace, and Osaka City is isolated in the passage of time. They are willing to think about it, and the loss in this battle will be small." "Hey!" Sheng Zhong replied forcefully, "What you said is very true, and I will also report your painstaking efforts to the Imperial Palace. Yes, if you are a teacher of justice and follow the general trend of the world, maybe you really don't need to worry. To be honest, before I I have been thinking about how to clean up the people who entered Osaka in one fell swoop. Yes, there is no rush, behind us is the common people of the world." Ami, who had been listening silently before, suddenly interjected: "In Osaka, there are already many Haojia who have realized that the war is inevitable, and are secretly looking for a way out." "It seems that people have not completely forgotten the disaster caused by the war." Shengzhong agreed, but Ami said another unexpected thing: "However, some people say that this is a trick played by Osaka." "Ok?" "First of all, the vicinity of Osaka Castle and the various passes are places that must be contested by military strategists, but the battle could not be fought at Sakai Port, and many people fled to Sakai Port. However, some people say that Osaka deliberately let everyone escape first, and then go to Sakai Port. Take the opportunity to control Sakai Port." "Oh, what good does it do?" "The good thing is...if you don't control Sakai Port in advance, it will be difficult to land when the reinforcements from Ban and Portugal arrive. More importantly, if you gather all the wealthy merchants there, then they will be able to pay more for the army. ..." Honami Guangyue replied with a sullen face: "These are all rumors with ulterior motives, don't listen to them." "However, where is the means to avoid war? Ami still feels that Qianji and Mrs. Dian are really pitiful." After Ami said this, Guangyue and Shengshige had nothing to say.Her concern must not be limited to Qianji and Mrs. Dian.After all, Ami left her own daughter in the city. Although she is now the wife of the tea house, she still has an indelible longing for Osaka Honjo in her heart. "Ami has never lied to my husband. As long as war can be avoided, Ami is willing to do anything. However, if war is inevitable, Ami has no choice but to retreat and pray silently." "I understand your feelings." Guangyue scolded, "That's why you came to Lord Itakura. Now, the situation has not reached the point of being uncontrollable, it depends on Osaka's actions. If the war is inevitable, I will I won't bring you here either." "But," Ami tilted her head and said, "The consecration is coming, how can we stop it?" "Well..." Guangyue shifted her eyes to Shengshige with a little embarrassment.But Sheng Zhong also remained silent.Although he knew that the consecration ceremony had to be stopped, he had no idea what the reason was for stopping it.He also had no idea what calculations the Great Imperial Palace had.Although he believed in Ieyasu, the waiting was still painful.The order to stop the consecration was not an arrow that ignited the beacon, but an opportunity for Xiu Lai's mother and son to reflect. "This is not something everyone should understand. But why do you miss it so much?" Seeing that Shengzhong remained silent, Guangyue had no choice but to ask. Ami faltered: "This, this..." "I want you to know that the consecration will definitely be stopped, and then, maybe the sword will be used. That's all." "yes." "Once there is a fight, Mrs. Chaya needs to have a plan. As for other things, no one needs to know more." Ami hesitated to speak, she seemed very worried. "Ami, what's on your mind?" "Yes... no..." "Just talk about it. We have the right to ignore it and forget about it later." "Actually, if there is a real fight, Ami wants to save someone." "Is it your biological daughter?" "No, there's nothing I can do about her, it's someone else." "Another person?" "That's right, it's Young Master Guosong with the bloodline of Shaojun." "he?" "Yes. Because he was afraid of Mrs. Chihime, he was fostered by a family with some relationship with the Kyogoku family. I just don't know if he will be sent back to Osaka soon. If he is sent back, Ami will be helpless. If possible, we will I just want to quietly help him and give him a way out." After speaking, Ami looked at Shengzhong with some fear.Ami gave birth to a daughter, but the maid in Ise gave birth to a boy.Even Hideyori was afraid of Chihime, so when the child was born, even the gender was not disclosed, and he just lied about the stillbirth and gave it directly to the Kyogoku vassal Tanaka Rokuzaemon.Of course, the child himself did not know that he was Taiko's grandson, Xiu Lai's son.It's just that there are rumors recently that someone has repeatedly persuaded Xiu Lai to take the child back to the city. Shengzhong remained silent, so Guangyue could only ask, "So, once war is inevitable, you want to try to prevent that child from returning to the city?" "Yes." Ami nodded very cautiously, "If there is anything I can do to help Shaojun, this is probably the only thing I can do." "Mrs. Chaya." Itakura Katsushige, who had been silent for a long time before, said at this time, "Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said. The right minister is hiding his heirs outside the city. Even if this kind of thing is catching wind and shadows, it is best to ignore it. Don't speak casually." "Yes." Ami panicked, "Perhaps, this is indeed chasing after rumors." "It's a rumor. According to what I heard, the child died when he was born. Since no one made a clear report, the minister on the right may think that the child is still alive. How can a person like Mrs. Chawu be confused by such rumors?" "Yes. Amy understands." At this moment, a young guard came in to report: "Master Ando Naoji of Junfu has arrived." Both Guangyue and Shengzhong were taken aback, and they couldn't help but exchanged glances.Needless to say, the visitor must have brought Ieyasu's order prohibiting consecration.Fortunately, Ami is still immersed in Guosong's affairs, so she didn't realize that everyone panicked. "Master Ando? Maybe he also came to visit the Great Fan Clock. Please Mrs. Chaya go back to the house first. Mr. Guangyue, Mr. Ando is my best friend. Could you please make him a cup of tea?" "It's a great honor." Guangyue said. "Madam, I'll send someone to take you off in a sedan chair, you should go back first." Ah Mi suddenly understood, "Yes. Ah Mi is leaving." Then, she took back the small book, saluted respectfully, and left. "Sir, it's finally here." Sheng Zhong muttered as if he was adjusting his breathing. "Yes." Guangyue's face was flushed and her expression was stiff, "The arrow has already left the string." "No, it's too early to say that. I'm afraid, this is just a difficult problem. Even though it is a difficult problem, it depends on how people deal with it." "Having said that, Kexiu Lai has not suffered a lot. I expect it will be difficult for him to solve this problem." "You can't make him wait. In short, let's meet Zhiji first. I'll go there first. Please prepare some tea, sir, and then go there later." No matter how important the secret is, Sheng Jue almost always let Guangyue sit with him frankly.In this sense, Shengzhong trusted Guangyue the most. When Shengzhong went out, Ben Ami Guangyue closed his eyes and recited the Buddha: "Namo Miaofa Lianhua Sutra, Namo Miaofa..." In Soshidai's guest room, Naoji Ando was dressed as a walker, sitting there expressionless.Zhici's prestige has increased greatly in the past few years, and his body has also gained weight. "It's Ando-sama, you've come all the way, thank you for your hard work." Katsushige greeted. Naoji returned the salute briefly, "A lot of those ronin came in. A mob! It seems that they are all things that are particularly sensitive to rot." Katsushige smiled gently, "So, Ando-sama thinks that the Toyotomi Clan is...corrupt?" "What can I do if I am not corrupt? Although it is not my business, it is still infuriating. I even want to cry. The good intentions of the Great Imperial Palace are all gone. Where in the world is there such a magnificent person?" Sheng Zhong didn't answer, but simply asked: "My lord's purpose in coming this time, is to order to prohibit the consecration?" I don't know what to think of, but Naoji burst into tears, "There is no more stupid and deeper sin in the world. Everyone in the world thinks that the Great Imperial Palace can't bear it, and it is strictly forbidden to consecrate it." "Why, it's not a ban?" "No, it's a postponement. It's the third day of August...it's only a few days later." "postpone?" "It's not forbidden." "Oh. That is to say, if Osaka is active and takes care of everything before Taiko's death on the 18th, it's okay to hold the consecration, right?" "Yes. But, is there really someone in Osaka who can understand the painstaking efforts of the Great Imperial Palace?" "Then what is the reason for the delay?" "Dissatisfied with Zhong Ming. The Great Imperial Palace was furious, saying that there were words cursing Tokugawa in it." "Zhong Ming?" "Yes, there is a sentence in the inscription of Zhong Zhong that 'the country is safe and healthy, the monarch and his ministers are prosperous and happy'. Needless to say, the 'national security' is clearly separated from the 'family' and 'kang', with the intention of cutting the imperial palace in half. This' Jun Chen Feng Le' means to hope that Feng Chen will be the king and pray for the prosperity of Feng Chen's family. The scholars who gathered in the Junfu knew it at a glance, and reported it, which made the Great Imperial Palace, who was in poor health recently, angry and called it disrespectful." Itakura Katsushige quietly stroked these words on his knee, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. Naoji lowered his eyes and said angrily, "The intention of building the Great Buddha under the pretense is to curse Tokugawa and the Great Imperial Palace, it's too much for heaven's sake!" "Hmm. This difficult problem...is really hard to solve." "What do you mean, the Great Imperial Palace is overthinking?" "Where! I don't mean that, the country's well-being... Yes, if you say this and forcefully separate the names and taboos, the Imperial Palace will be furious, even if it is furious, it is only natural." Sheng Shige pretended to agree. Seeing Itakura Katsushige's agreement, Ando Naoji said with a bitter face: "There is nothing more difficult to deal with than an idiot. Fortunately, there are now a gathering of scholars in Junfu who are sorting out ancient books and discovering this insidious method of curse." It has existed since ancient times. How...how cruel!" Sheng Zhong didn't answer, but just murmured the sentence in a low voice: "The country is safe and healthy, the monarch and his ministers are prosperous..." After saying this, he couldn't help feeling a surge of sadness in his heart, and he was on the verge of tears. Katsushige is very familiar with the elder Qinghan of Nainan Temple who wrote this inscription.Although Qing Han was an ordinary Zen monk, he was also a well-educated person, especially fond of playing with words.Therefore, this time, Zhong Ming must have deliberately included Ieyasu's name and Toyotomi's surname with the intention of flattering and pleasing both parties.However, Ieyasu had such a difficult problem on Zhong Ming, what a sad thing!Moreover, if Hideyori doesn't respond well, Ieyasu's reputation in his later years is very likely to be tarnished by this matter. "Understood. Not to order them to stop, but to postpone, right?" Katsuki repeated. "Exactly. Since it is inconvenient to tell others the reason, the meaning of the Ogosho is to inform Katagiri Ichimasa of this order in the name of the Soshidai-sama." "Is Katagiri the city?" "Yes. Shi Zheng is a sensible person. He should understand the deep meaning of this. After that, he will directly..." At this point, Zhiji suddenly stopped, "I am so mad, I am tired of talking to passers-by !" But Itakura Katsushige seriously lowered his head and muttered: "Master Ando." "Itakura-sama?" "It just so happens that Mr. Ben Ami is here, and he wants to present a cup of tea for you, shall I invite him?" "Since it is Guangyue, of course it is very good." "Okay, then let's cleanse the heart with the tea of ​​the husband first. This matter is indeed worrying, depressing and angry. Isn't there still someone who is restraining his temper and enduring it?" After speaking, Shengzhong clapped his hands vigorously.At this time Guangyue was already ready, just waiting for him to greet her. Guangyue asked two young monks to bring the stove and tea set, while she came in with a serious face, and saluted: "Master Ando, ​​I haven't visited you for a long time, and you feel refreshed, what a blessing." "Sir is still so tough, that's great." Naoji hurriedly looked away with red eyes.Katsushige Itakura saw this from the corner of his eye, raised his head, and said to Guangyue in his usual calm voice: "Master Ando would like Mr. Pinpin's tea. Please make a cup." "Obey!" Guangyue concentrated on making tea.He didn't want to say anything until the two had finished their tea. Zhici drinks first, and then wins.Katsushige savored it carefully, drank the last drop of tea, put down the tea bowl, and said, "Mr. Moto Ami, the Great Imperial Palace has ordered the postponement of the consecration ceremony." Motoami Koetsu nodded calmly, "Why is that?" "Because the bell inscription contains disrespectful words cursing Tokugawa." Katsushige said indifferently, "The problematic words and sentences are the eight characters of 'the country is safe and healthy, the monarch and his ministers are happy'. Bring back the old days." "The country is safe and healthy, the monarch and his ministers are prosperous..." Guangyue repeated in his mouth, concentrating on contemplation, and his eyes suddenly radiated a sharp light. "Sir, did you taste it?" Under Itakura Katsushige's repeated urging, Guangyue suddenly turned her face away.The corners of his eyes were also red, "Elder Qing Han... well, Elder Qing Han is the same as me, hoping for peace from the bottom of his heart." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help wiping away tears.He didn't seem to understand this statement as Qing Han's flattery, but just lamented that Qing Han had unknowingly infiltrated his wishes into the inscription.His words were stuck in his throat, his face was distorted, and he was speechless for a long time, Fang said: "Elder Qing Han...I'm afraid that's the case." "Yeah... Qinghan actually cursed the backbone of the peaceful world, hateful! Damn! What a hateful evil monk!" Naoji said bitterly. "That's right." Guangyue replied vaguely. "But, Lord of the Imperial Palace... No, people who don't know it may still think that Elder Qing Han is a loyal minister. Hmph!" "yes." "Fortunately, it was prevented before it was burned. However, the effect of the words was immediately apparent." "yes." "In short, the elder has become a fish on the table. But..." "how?" "The elder is a monk who serves the Buddha, please don't hurt your life." Zhiji said. This was unexpected to Shengzhong, "Yes, Zensheng said that he is also a monk." "There is one other thing, Zhong Ming is likely to become an important evidence to tell the story to future generations, so please handle it properly, and don't destroy it." Guangyue said suddenly. This statement was so surprising that Katsushige couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Naoji.Naoji leaned forward and said, "Mr. Ben Ami, you said to keep that bell alive for future generations?" Katsushige also continued to question: "In my opinion, it is best to melt down the Buddhist bell that cursed Tokugawa immediately." Moto Ami Guangyue wiped the tea bowl while saying: "When the bell is melted down, the Lord of the Imperial Palace and the elders of Qing Han will be even more sorrowful. No, the same is true for the right minister." "sad?" "Yes. This incident was caused by a fool, so if even the clock is to be destroyed, this matter can only be spread among fools." "That's true." Sheng Shige said. "However, if this clock is left behind, in future generations, maybe someone will listen carefully to the sound of this sad relic of troubled times." "However," Naoji said, "it is very likely to be the basis for misunderstanding the Great Imperial Palace...or should..." Guangyue shook her head vigorously, "Isn't the "Lotus Flower Sutra" not as important as other scriptures at a certain time? But I don't know when it has shined and attracted people's attention. The protection of the fool. Let Zhong and Zhongming survive like that, let future generations hit, let future generations listen to it, a clear heart, the sun can learn from it!" Zhiji and Shengzhong looked at each other - Guangyue's view was completely different from the two. "Mr.'s idea is really rare. However, once the flames of war are raised on the ground of Zhong Ming, the great name of the Great Imperial Palace..." "I won't be tarnished because of this!" Guangyue turned into a reprimanding tone, "How can this matter tarnish the life of the Great Imperial Palace? How can the Great Imperial Palace, which fears gods and Buddhas, implements benevolent government, and loves peace so much, because of such an incident... , the bell will make a loud chime." "indeed." "This is the bell that prevents the recurrence of the troubled times, no, it is the bell that wipes away the remnants of the troubled times that remain in the hearts of the world, and it is the bell that warns the world! It warns the world that stupid persistence will bring about extremely sad wars! What is deplorable? Stupidity! There is nothing more deplorable than stupidity." "Ok." The two of them crossed their arms and fell into deep thought at the same time.Guangyue's thinking is truly extraordinary.However, is the fact really as he said?When will that bell actually ring?In another hundred or two hundred years, what will happen to this clock? Itakura Katsushige turned his gaze to the pool in the courtyard.Suddenly, he seemed to feel that a stone standing by the pool seemed to be smiling.That stone was one of the famous stones that Lord Nobunaga collected from all over the world when he built the Nijo Castle Mansion for Ashikaga Yoshiaki.The person at that time is no longer alive, but Wei Nashi still stands quietly with the same posture...
