Chapter 4 Chapter Four Ieyasu asked

Tokugawa Ieyasu has not yet realized that there is an air of uneasiness around him because everyone is unclear about his thoughts.If in normal times, some kind of uneasiness would cause chaos, he should be aware of it.However, he has not yet experienced the uneasiness that a peaceful world breeds. When Tokugawa Hidetada came to Beijing, Toyotomi Hideyori refused to visit, which made Ieyasu furious; but he still thought that with time and patient education, Mrs. Yodo's knots would be solved.He was not unaware of Osaka's behavior before.As soon as the shogunate announced the expansion of Edo Castle, Osaka quickly rebuilt it and built Senjoden.Although Hideyoshi was also known as "Thousands" before, the actual number is about 800.But when you think about it, this is nothing more than childish feistiness, which can be laughed off.Hideyori once said when she was a child that if she called "Senjo" and there was no Senjo, she was lying.

Zhonghui went to Osaka on Hidetada's behalf, and after returning to Fushimi Castle, Ieyasu once asked him his evaluation of Hideyori. Zhonghui turned his head and thought for a while, and said: "It looks a little thin." Xuan then quickly corrected: "He is taller than the child, and he can grow into a burly body of six feet. Is Hideyoshi as tall as that?" "That's not true, you are taller than me. I'm afraid that people in peacetime are stronger." Ieyasu replied with a smile, but he felt that Zhonghui looked down on Hideyori.He then implicitly explained to Zhonghui the difference in their official positions.Zhonghui is the Major General of Zuo Jinwei, and he cannot be compared with the Minister of the Right. At any time, he must not be rude to someone whose official position is higher than his own...

I heard that Hideyori is about to hold a ceremony at the Nio Gate of Daigo Sanboin Temple.Sanbaoyuan was built by the late Taige for viewing flowers, which is extremely luxurious.Ieyasu praised Hideyori: "It is my father not to forget, his sincerity is commendable!" But is this also a comparison?Ieyasu's idea didn't come out of thin air.A month ago, when Gaotai Temple was completed, the entire capital was talking about the virtues of Gaotai Temple.Of course, these things are just a breeze blowing through my heart for Ieyasu today... Now, Ieyasu is most interested in two things, one is to chat with Lin Daochun, a young Confucian recommended to him by Fujiwara Shoko, and the other is to expand business.

Lin Daochun is indeed worthy of recommendation. His speech is full of pleasant maneuvers, and he can always accurately grasp the core of Ieyasu's questions.Recognizing that man is the spirit of all things can provide the foundation for enlightenment.To open up a new world, one must first have a pious heart that respects the virtuous—Lin Daochun, who is in his twenties, seems to be teaching the 64-year-old Tokugawa Ieyasu hand in hand. "I agree with these. Since I was young, I believed that everyone has Buddha nature." Ieyasu agreed. However, Lin Daochun said something unexpected.Without fear, he asked Ieyasu if he planned to transform those who lost their way and wandered in troubled times with blood blades into saints.

Ieyasu smiled wryly.He knew what Lin Daochun wanted to say, but he also knew very well that not everyone could become a saint.No matter good or evil, good or bad, people have to think and survive. This is the blessing of God, so that individual talents can break through the chaos.Stubbornly sticking to one's own point of view is a rebellion against God's will, and as a result, different schools of learning have been divided.As soon as Ieyasu said this, Lin Daochun began to argue seriously with him, not so much arguing, but more like admonishing a naive child. "The Imperial Palace is determined to do something. People..." Lin Daochun smiled wryly at this point, "Even if you want everyone in the world to become saints, you only need a few people. Even so, you can still learn from these few people. Start by making a difference. You should invest more in enlightenment, teaching without enthusiasm is like rotten fish, it will only bring poison and cannot nourish the body."

Ieyasu felt that such energetic enthusiasm was invaluable.What Lin Daochun said was indeed reasonable.People who can lead the times must make careful choices before doing things to avoid mistakes; however, once they make up their minds, they will devote themselves wholeheartedly. "Okay, let's do this and turn the Japanese into saints!" Hearing Ieyasu's words, Lin Daochun felt relieved for the first time. "In order to turn the land of the East China Sea into a kingdom of saints, Lin Daochun is willing to dedicate his whole life to the Imperial Palace. I hope that the Imperial Palace can set an example for the world." This is the way of life in the Taiping era. For those who only know how to live by swords and guns, Let them know that there are other ways to survive.

But Lin Daochun didn't pay much attention to Ieyasu's "transaction first", "I think that the Imperial Palace should reflect on it. What is the most lacking in the late Taige's administration?" Hearing his question, Jiakang was immediately aroused, and couldn't help asking: "What do you think he lacks? I would like to hear more about it." The young Daochun said proudly: "Li." "present?" "The Taige and the Great Imperial Palace share the same enthusiasm, hoping for the unity and peace of the world. However, the coexistence of 'harmony' and 'ritual' can create a solid foundation. I think that the Taige did not realize this."

"Oh?" "Prince Shotoku taught that peace is the most important thing for future generations, but it is absurd to interpret this statement separately. The prince's teachings have clearly stated that "ritual" is indispensable to maintain 'harmony'." "Well. To turn the rude people who grew up in the chaos of war into saints, they must first be taught etiquette. But sir, I think there is another thing that is more important than this. The ancients said, 'Canglin knows etiquette'." "My subordinates believe that the two are indispensable. Without the heart of courtesy, food and clothing are not enough, because people's desires are unlimited. Small people often care about each other. The great names and generals cultivated by the Taige were not there after the death of the Taige. Did not join hands."

Ieyasu nodded endlessly, "Sir, do you have any objections to my strategy of enriching the country?" "Yes. There are quite objections. Prospering the country and enriching the people by promoting transactions is in itself excellent good governance, but..." "Is that not enough?" "Not enough. There are too many examples throughout the ages to mess up the world after having enough food and clothing. Insufficient food and clothing are also without breaking etiquette. If the education cannot reach this point, after the people are rich, their desires may swell and eventually cause the world to shake. Therefore, I believe that the Great Imperial Palace should Announcing the world, rectifying etiquette, and making etiquette go hand in hand with prosperity is the long-term strategy.”

Ieyasu knew exactly what Doharu wanted to say, and Hideyoshi was indeed defeated by it.Mr. Hideyoshi's "Corporal of Rite and Virtue" is famous all over the world, and he calls everyone a brother and brother without distinction. Although he has brought a new trend, people may not really submit to him.He cultivated the domineering of his subordinates, and also led to the vices of indulgence and lawlessness in his subordinates.Not long after Taige passed away, the generals fell apart.This is precisely because he does not respect the "rituals" mentioned by Lin Daochun.Jiakang already understood this principle, and said: "Remember Mr.'s teaching. A rich country is rich with courtesy, 'the rich without courtesy cannot become rich'."

"Wealth fails to make people happy, but instead leads to indulgence and disturbs the morals of the world. This must be something that the imperial court does not want to see." The young Lin Daochun repeatedly emphasized the importance of "rituals" to Ieyasu.He said that "rituals" are the cornerstone of order. If we want to build a truly peaceful and prosperous world, we must first build a solid foundation of morality, so that warriors can clearly understand good and evil, and strictly abide by etiquette. "Things sometimes go beyond the expectations of the Imperial Palace. If the Imperial Imperial Palace is good, the whole world will think it is evil, and I hope that the Imperial Imperial Palace will subdue itself and do good." "Having said that, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between good and evil." "If this kind of chaos occurs in the education, it will be impossible to maintain order. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify right and wrong, and no matter who is treated, it should be fair." "That's right, treating everyone in the world equally, regardless of each other, is the so-called 'sincerity'." Lin Daochun seemed to be finally satisfied with Ieyasu's answer.He reminded Ieyasu not to forget that he is the one who wields authority in the world.After all, the world is in the hands of Ieyasu, and he himself is just a guide.If Ieyasu cannot act with integrity, he is just empty talk. "Won my heart." Ieyasu smiled and nodded frequently, "Those who exercise power in the world must have the heart to sit on a leaky boat and lie on a fire house. Tokugawa Ieyasu will never let you down. After all, I have lived for more than sixty years. Years, understand that one's own way can be established in the world, and the world's way is also contained in this one's own body." Human beings and heaven and earth are one, and if one can understand this truth, then no matter the dull or the poor, they will take the world as their own duty.This is Ieyasu's creed and his epiphany.Hearing this, Lin Daochun's eyes were touched. "Thanks for your advice. The Great Imperial Palace is really like a big tree. A big tree will not only grow on one side, and such a tree will not be luxuriant. Only when the branches and leaves are stretched in all directions can it grow into a towering giant tree. Let Lin Daochun stand on top of this big tree Next, do your best to open up the road of 'sincerity'!" Since then, Ieyasu has always had a sense of admiration in the eyes of his attendants.Although Lin Daochun has incomparable enthusiasm, in the eyes of the successful and famous Ieyasu, he is still a little childish. On the third day of September in the 10th year of Qingchang, when Ieyasu handed over the red seal certificate to and from Annan to Jiaocang and Shi, he said solemnly: "Remember, etiquette must be upright. No matter whether people from other countries despise you or respect you, etiquette should be the foundation. " Jia Kang's "ritual" sincerity has been influenced by Lin Daochun.Before that, Ieyasu was very envious of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's frankness and frankness in dealing with others, and being open-minded with anyone.Hideyoshi can do it, but Ieyasu can't. That's why he feels envious.But he also thought about it, it is easy to make people frivolous and off track. Therefore, the evening chat between Ieyasu and his retainers also added some seriousness to the usual preaching.The preaching seemed to have turned into a solemn scripture, which made everyone feel a little stressed. Masamune Honda often said with a joke: "The Great Imperial Palace seems to have become a living patriarch." Younger Masanobu Takeyoshi and others have also been summoned by Ieyasu recently.They said that Ieyasu seemed to be bathed in a majestic light.Not only Takeyoshi Shoshin, but also Toyokoji Acceptance, who is in charge of issuing Zhuyin certificates or conducting documents with overseas, also felt that whenever Ieyasu said "that's it", his tongue would tie up, and he would say what he wanted to say. not coming out.Everyone thought that "the idea of ​​the Great Imperial Palace is reasonable after all." Ieyasu believes that "propriety" is absolutely indispensable in governing the country, and it is a law that transcends personal character.Therefore, he formulated thirteen new military orders, and at the same time promulgated eight palace regulations, ordering the world's famous names to strictly abide by them.While regulating the conduct of the world, it also made everyone feel constrained.This led to some gossip among the old daimyos who used to be on the same rank as Ieyasu, "The imperial palace is getting more and more prestigious", "Yes. The imperial palace is invincible in the world, and it is only natural to order us", and so on. On the other hand, Iekang stepped up to expand overseas transactions.After Kakura was approved to do business with the city and Annan, Luzon was allowed to send four merchant ships to Japan every year, but the safety of Japan's coastal waters must be guaranteed. These moves undoubtedly made Sodero and other foreign believers feel uneasy, but it also shows that Ieyasu intends to separate belief and transaction.Recently, Sodero paid a direct visit to General Hidetada without Date Masamune's referral.Asakusa's Yakuzain has been built, and the wedding of Masamune's daughter and Tadaki is imminent. On the one hand, Ieyasu corrected the domestic etiquette, and on the other hand, he became more and more enthusiastic about overseas transactions, and the image of peace in the world became more and more prosperous.The Khmer monarch sent people to send documents and tributes, and Annan also sent credentials... Ieyasu's good governance brought people a sense of peace and security.Osaka also began to repair and build temples, large and small. After the Nio Gate of Sanbo-in Temple was built in Daigo in the name of Hideyori, a bell tower was built for the Dharma Hall of Sangkok-ji Temple immediately; Then, the club construction company also started construction... All the actions seemed to be possessed by a demon.Ironically, a fire broke out in Daigoji Temple at this time, Ruyilun Hall, Wudai Hall and Yuying Hall were all burned down and had to be rebuilt. In this regard, there are various theories circulating in the world.Some people say that the incompetent people in Osaka spent all the gold and silver that Mr. Taiko saved so hard to build temples.Others believe that Mrs. Yodo wanted all the temples in the world to curse Tokugawa's downfall at the same time when the temple was repaired. During this period, Ieyasu encouraged Lin Daochun to engrave a large number of scriptures, and at the same time started from Annan and Luzon, intending to resume the transaction with the Ming Dynasty. However, the eyes of many people are still stuck in the troubled times, and when there is a disturbance, they immediately regard it as the confrontation between Edo and Osaka.But in the eyes of foreign missionaries, Japan at this time had a different look. Later generations recorded in the "History of Western Education in Japan": "The general (Ieyasu) behaved like an honest and frank lord. According to Taiko's last order, he regarded Xiu Lai as his own, and ordered the two in Osaka to follow Katagiri Kamoto and Koide. Hidemasa protects Hideyori, and expressly forbids the sale of poison in pharmacies in Osaka.” In the eyes of foreigners, Ieyasu is Hideyori’s support, and Japan is also under Ieyasu’s hands, developing towards a peaceful and prosperous world... In fact, Lin Daochun urged Ieyasu to practice the way of saints from time to time, and Ieyasu himself worked tirelessly to popularize and promote it, printing many books and articles.So in this way, Osaka's behavior can also be seen as Hideyori's mother and son's great assistance to Ieyasu. One day, Honami Koetsu was summoned to Fushimi Castle. Originally, Ieyasu also urged Guangyue to bring along the sword ornaments that he was going to give to Lord Annan, but the knife ornaments were not ready yet, so Guangyue had to explain this when he came to Fushimi Castle this time. When Zhuyao Zhengxin brought Guangyue to Lizhong, Jiakang was listening to Lin Daochun's explanation in the small academy, with an unprecedented solemn expression. Guangyue waited quietly outside until Lin Daochun's explanation stopped.He thought to himself, although Ieyasu's expression is a little scary, but it also has a wonderful solemnity - a man who is nearly seventy years old and holds a heavy handle can sit upright and listen to the young Confucian in his twenties. lecture.What would happen if it was Master Taige from before?I'm afraid Lin Daochun will never have the guts to preach and teach.Even if he is fearless, Hideyoshi will refuse out of face. From this point of view, Ieyasu completely regards himself as a dull person, but maybe he is an unfathomable celestial being, with a serious face like "hearing the Tao in the morning, and dying in the evening", every word Listen carefully, and you have entered Confucianism and Taoism wholeheartedly. Lin Daochun was also extremely smart. As soon as the lecture was over, he immediately stepped back and bowed down. He returned from teacher to retainer, and began to chat: "Now there are some strange rumors in the world." "Sir means..." "It is said that Mr. Fujiwara Xingwo will recommend it to the Imperial Palace because the husband himself rejected the Imperial Palace." "Oh, reject me, why?" "The Great Imperial Palace always wanted to kill Osaka's Hideyori in his heart. Mr. saw this clearly and got away skillfully. Then he recommended me to the Great Imperial Palace... and so on." "Well, old fashioned!" "I think so too. Behind these rumors, there always seem to be some troubled shadows." "Okay, sir, don't worry, I'm not a person in the market, how can I believe rumors?" Guangyue almost burst out laughing, but quickly changed her expression to a serious one—it is disrespectful to laugh.I only heard Jiakang say: "You just step back and rest. I want to talk to Xianyue." Daochun retreated respectfully, and Guangyuefang was called in front of Jiakang. "Guangyue, sit closer! How is the knife decoration?" "I hope that the Imperial Palace can extend it for another two or three days." "Okay. I hope you can make the sword ornaments well, and don't discredit the shogunate. I don't have many days in this world, but the sword ornaments you make will be the treasures of the shogunate and will be handed down forever in the Annan royal family. If The rumors that have been circulated are all rough things, and the Japanese in the future will be pitiful!" "Remember the teachings of the Great Imperial Palace." "Also, I'm going to Junfu recently, and I'm going to start repairing Junfu City as my seclusion in the future. Although it's a seclusion, there will be some guests. Think for me, prepare some knives that can be given away, or print A new addition to the Tokugawa family crest." "Junfu?" Guangyue's brows suddenly cast a shadow. "What's the matter?" Jiakang immediately noticed the change in Guangyue's expression, and smiled, "You want to say, it's okay to live in seclusion, it's too early to retire?" Guangyue bowed respectfully and respectfully, "Your Excellency is clearly aware. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but it is exactly as what Your Excellency said. It is too early to mention retirement now." "I..." Ieyasu explained, "I plan to collect taxes from all the great names to repair Junfu City." Guangyue suddenly felt relieved.He understood that even if he lived in seclusion, Ieyasu did not intend to live a life of thanking guests behind closed doors and not asking about political affairs. "I plan to recruit one person for every five hundred stones. Is it too heavy?" "Five hundred shi for one person, that's fifty thousand shi for one hundred people, five hundred thousand shi for a thousand people... No, it's not heavy at all! In order to build the residence of the adults, if there are twice as many people, the world will be willing to contribute." "Then, let me ask you again, I want to do the same for Osaka, what do you think?" Ieyasu finished speaking nonchalantly, waiting for Guangyue's answer, he always took Guangyue's criticism as the voice of the common people. Guangyue's eyes widened, "That, that..." "Shouldn't taxes be collected from Osaka?" "No. The Great Imperial Palace shouldn't make such a decision. It will plant the seeds of unrest in the world!" "Then you are in favor of tax collection?" "My lord, Toyotomi and Tokugawa are inextricably linked, but it is inappropriate if the relationship between the shogun and Osaka is mixed up with a private matter. If he is exempted from taxation because he loves Hideyori, it will only make public and private affairs separate. The world is confused. Guangyue is deeply disturbed." Ieyasu raised his eyes to look at Guangyue, and was silent for a long time. "My lord, let the Lord of Daban know exactly what to do, that is the real love for him. The Lord of Daban is not only a noble minister, but also a daimyo under the general's rule. Your lord should treat the daimyo in the same way, otherwise the order of the world will be difficult to consolidate." The villain thinks that it is natural to levy taxes on Osaka." Ieyasu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't be partial to personal affection, my old age is too boring." "The tax and service are dedicated to the people sent by the gods and Buddhas, so the real tax and service are fair." "Okay! Since you said that, I decided to do the same! One more thing, after I move to Junfu, I plan to move the sape music artists who are stationed in Osaka to Junfu. What do you think?" This time, Guangyue thought carefully.Yuan Le entertainer moved to Junfu, he never thought about it... Back then, in order to reward the world's famous names, Mr. Hideyoshi let the saru music artists stay in Osaka Castle.It was originally not stipulated that artists must stay with the people of the world, it was just a coincidence, but the world seems to understand it as a law.That's why Ieyasu wanted to move the ape music artists to Junfu, so that when someone visits, he can invite them to enjoy it together.Motoami Koetsu thought so, but he couldn't answer so simply.He has always regarded himself as calm, so he thinks very clearly about the matter of making Hideyori and other daimyos work in the same class.However, ape music artists who have nothing to do with Fadu are another matter. In the final analysis, it is a matter of personal preference.What's the benefit of deliberately removing the artist of Yuanle from Xiu Lai's side? "My lord, it's better to talk about this matter in three or five years." Guangyue said after careful consideration, "Talk to the Osaka lecturer first, and then move the ape music artist away. In this way, the Osaka City Lord may have resentment and misunderstanding towards the Imperial Palace. " Hearing this, Jiakang burst out laughing, "Haha, I'm relieved. Just follow what you said, but Guangyue..." "grown ups." "I found that even if you are as smart as you, it is so easy to fall into my trap." "trap?" "That's right. I just asked you on purpose. I wanted to hear. How many years do you think Ieyasu can live?" "Uh……" "If I asked you straight-forward, you wouldn't be able to say anything for a year or two, so I'll just try you with the matter of Yuan Le. Do you think I can still live safely in three to five years?" "This..." At this moment, even Guangyue couldn't help being speechless——Ieyasu had childlike thoughts! "Guangyue, if I can live for three or four years, I will never go to see Yuan Le. I want to build all the important cities in the country so strong that they can face the world." "So, sir, do you want to repair other cities?" "Yes. But this kind of repair is not a facade like the daimyo, it will only lead to chaos. The repair is for Japan, and it is to prevent those who covet the world from colluding with other countries. With this preparation, future generations can engage in transactions with peace of mind What do you say?" Guangyue was speechless. "In addition, there will be a peaceful world for all generations, and then there will be a Tokugawa shogunate for all generations." When Guangyue heard Jiakang say such strange words, she couldn't help but hold her breath, moved her body forward a little, and said, "It's just as your lord said." "Actually, whether it is the prosperity of the small family or the prosperity of the country, they are all the same. I am not trying to put the two together, but I am deeply moved. Originally, I thought that Xiuzhong would not have a son. Unexpectedly, Takechiyo was born, followed by Kunimatsu... This is God's will! I am old, but I have a few children like Goro Taimaru in succession. At that time, I felt a bit of a certain situation. For my blood, it is impossible. If you only give a salary of 20,000 to 30,000 shi and then ignore it, but if the world says, "that old guy only cares about his own children and grandchildren", it would be wrong. If even Tokugawa Ieyasu only cares about his own children and grandchildren, and forgets about the common people in the world, that would be a shame. It violates the way of saints that Mr. Lin Daochun said..." "But, then..." "Actually, this kind of trouble does not distinguish between ages. But I have only recently realized that I have made a big mistake. Whether it is my children or grandchildren or other people's children, being able to be born into this world is a decree beyond human intelligence. , is a gift from God." Guangyue nodded with a smile.If he wanted to have a child, he would be able to give birth, and Hideyoshi would not be so anxious in his later years, and he might not have sent troops to North Korea, let alone the chaos that followed.People like Ieyasu have only recently understood this, which makes people feel a lot of emotion. "Then, my lord, what do you think now?" "Guangyue, there are three important stages in human growth, do you know?" "Three...only three?" "No, it may be countless in detail, but first of all, people run around for themselves." "Yes. It's just that most people have a busy life." "However, I can't live for selfishness all the time. What I worry about is how to get rid of selfishness." "yes." "I said it was for the world and for my retainers, but it was actually just for my own desires. Whenever I think about it, I feel ashamed to face the gods and Buddhas. But after that stage, I realized another truth: the world and the individual It is one body! Understand this principle, you can stand between heaven and earth, and condense the way of heaven and earth in this body. That is to say, after selfishness has been tempered, it can become the law between heaven and earth.” Guangyue was engrossed, and when she heard this, she was slightly relieved, and began to chew on the meaning of Jiakang's words. "My lord, can you explain it again? How can you stand between heaven and earth if you understand this truth..." Ieyasu stared at Guangyue seriously, and repeated: "If you understand this principle, you will be able to stand between heaven and earth, and condense the way of heaven and earth in this body." "Man and heaven and earth are one?" "Yes. People can be born not only because of the wishes and expectations of their parents, but because of the efforts of their parents and the wishes of heaven and earth. Therefore, the son of man is also the son of heaven and earth!" "If adults think this way, selfishness is the heart of heaven and earth, and public heart is also the heart of heaven and earth. The two will become one." "When I was young, I heard Zen Master Xuezhai of Linji Temple in Junfu say something similar, such as a grain of sand contains the way of the sun and the moon... But when I grew up, I forgot a lot, and mistakenly thought that getting rid of all selfishness would make me a saint……" This is exactly Guangyue's current cultivation.Pushing it to his body, Guangyue's face could not help but flush slightly.Often getting angry about things outside of the body is actually hurting oneself.Ieyasu's cultivation seems to be beyond ordinary people. "Guangyue, selfishness can become the heart of heaven and earth after being tempered. After understanding this truth, I have always been very happy. I must strictly train my children and ask talented retainers to help and guide them, so that they can become useful materials .Not only your own children, but also the sons of others, no matter you or me, they are all the sons of heaven." Guangyue was sincerely convinced, suddenly enlightened. "Little man understands. My lord, you continue to build a strong city not for your own sake, but for the common people in the world." After speaking, he laughed loudly, although he was rude, he was naturally magnanimous. "Guangyue, do you find it strange?" "No... yes. Thinking of adults paying so much attention to the world... haha..." "So rude, you actually laughed at me!" "My lord, Mr. Zhonghui and Mr. Wulang Taiwan will both live in Dacheng. In this way, as a father, your lord can plan for your children as well as for the world. Selfishness is public heart, and public heart is selfish heart. A wandering heart can be revealed moon!" Jiakang blushed a little, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are going to keep training me..." Guangyue's chest tightened, and she cautiously smiled.It is true when you think about it, only you can fight with yourself to the end. "My lord, your words have opened the eyes of the villain. Whether it is your own children or other people's children, it is the same. They must be tempered constantly to make them mature. The villain has deeply understood this." "Guangyue," Ieyasu's gaze became severe, "It's not enough to just think about it!" "Oh?" "My own child is no different from other people's children. Those who can see these are the eyes of God." "yes." "It's too arrogant to think that everyone has the eyes of heaven. God entrusts children to the parents of the world, not to the father, nor to the mother, but to the parents. There is an infinite meaning in this. Do you understand? What will happen to the parents? When dealing with children, God knows this and entrusts children to them. Therefore, people often love their own children more than other people's children." "Well." Guangyue rubbed her ears suddenly, hesitating in her heart. "Guangyue, your expression is so strange. I mean, don't worry about it just because it is your own child. Children are entrusted by God and should be treated without any barriers. It's just that love can't be too much. God treats all children equally. ——In this way, can you understand something? People are born the same, and the stupid, sick and weak should not be insulted or despised." "yes." "The branches and leaves of a big tree extend in all directions, not just in a certain direction; or it can be said that only a tree that grows impartially and has luxuriant branches and leaves can become a big tree. To put it simply, loving all beings regardless of each other is the only way to become a big tree." It is the way of honesty ordained by God." Ieyasu said, and his smile resumed, "I made a mistake again. I was too busy talking about my own affairs, but I didn't take care of listening to you. I can let people speak their minds. , Knowing what is good and what is evil is what a truly wise person does. Apart from this, there is really no wise person. Come, do you have something interesting to tell me?" "Yes." Guangyue took a long breath, looked up at Jiakang, and said, "The so-called wise man is someone who can listen to the good words of others and apply them. Is the villain right?" "Yes. So in the final analysis, everyone and you are the source of Ieyasu's wisdom!" "Don't dare. The villain is very honored to hear the adults say that. In fact, the villain really has a few words to say to the adults." Guangyue said with A Xing in his mind. "Oh? Then you go ahead." Ieyasu was a little surprised, and moved the support slightly forward, leaning forward. "Actually, this is what a woman named Ah Xing said." Guang Yue said. "Ashin?" "Yes. That woman is very alert, unlike ordinary women. She is Okubo Chang'an's concubine." "Okubo Changan went to Sado, and brought his family?" "Exactly." "Okay, it's not a big evil. Without women, it's easy to kill." "Ah Xing told the villain something, which aroused the vigilance of the villain." "She came from Sado?" "No, it was when she went to the capital." "What did you say?" "It is said that Okubo-sama is being targeted by people from the foreign religion." "People from foreign religions?" "Exactly. Those people seem to be very dissatisfied with Miura Anzhen being able to follow the adults around." "It's been a while. From the time Miura's needle boat drifted to the seaside of Bungo, the priests said that the Dutch and the English were pirates, and insisted that I cut off his head." "Actually, his anger has not been completely extinguished yet." "It's not that easy to extinguish. According to the needle, the Netherlands, England, Spain and Portugal often fight. Is it because of different teachings?" "Exactly. The teachings are different, and the grievances are deep." "Well." "The foreign religion in Japan belongs to the religion believed by the Nanman. So they are very worried that according to the needle, they will ban the foreign religion because of the favor of the adults, just like the Lord Taige banned the religion before." "Not impossible." "That's why Ah Xing said that Lord Okubo seems to be being targeted." "She said so?" "Yes. They are eager to get close to the Imperial Palace through Okubo, and seek the peace of the old religion. That's what Ah Xing said." Guangyue found that there was no trace of uneasiness on Ieyasu's face, so she emphasized, "In short, if those foreign believers make something like It's not good to involve Okubo-sama in such terrible chaos as the Zongzong Rebellion. Ayuki told the villain clearly." Ieyasu smiled and nodded, "Guangyue, I said before that the branches of a big tree don't all grow in the same direction. To me, there is no difference between the red and the southern barbarians. I just hope to have a friendly relationship with both parties." Doing business. It’s just an idea, but I’m well prepared.” Guangyue was a little embarrassed, "My lord, your teachings have benefited the villain a lot. But, can I allow the villain to say a few more words?" Just saying that there is still great uneasiness in my heart.Ieyasu seems to have a clear understanding of the confrontation between Nanban and Hongmao.However, there are still two things he does not know, one is Date Masamune's temperament, and the other is Okubo Chang'an's character.The only ones who can clearly see people and things in the world are gods and Buddhas.People always have misunderstandings.For example, Mr. Nobunaga, who loves novelty, will soon be disgusted by him if there is no novelty to serve him. Therefore, Araki Murashige was forced to rebel, and old ministers such as Sakuma and Hayashi Sado were also exiled. Akechi Mitsuhide rebelled .The same goes for Hideyoshi.In his later years, when he performed the seppuku of Lay Rikyu, his ignorance was particularly obvious.At that time he listened to flattery and fell into the abyss of pride and arrogance.Guangyue thought that Hideyoshi didn't really believe in Nobunaga, so he first followed and then succeeded him.However, in his later years, suspicion and extravagance ruined the country that Hideyoshi had devoted half his life to.Ieyasu has many weaknesses than Hideyoshi, and it is rare in the world to find someone who is more sage than him.Even so, in Guangyue's view, Ieyasu still has something missing. "It's nothing to worry about, but it's okay to say." Looking at Ieyasu's frank expression, Guangyue felt a little stiff in her body.However, it is Guangyue's character that the more nervous she is, the more she wants to vomit quickly. "It's not him, the villain is worried about your attitude towards the teachings, my lord." "Aren't you going to persuade me to believe in religion too?" "No, the villain never thought of it that way. But..." Guangyue didn't know what to say, so she simply said bluntly, "Your Excellency is too kind to the things you believe in. In other words, you are not firm enough for the gods and Buddhas. This is what the villain is worried about." "Hmm..." Ieyasu fell silent with a strange expression. "The villain thinks that the adults treat all sects equally, which is too tolerant." "Well." "The villain is definitely not trying to persuade the adults to convert to the Nichiren sect. They are both foreign religions, and the Nanban and the Hongmao are fighting so fiercely. Faced with this fact, should you, my lord, understand their respective teachings? What if their struggle ends in disaster? As well as our country, you can also clearly judge who to support and who not to support?" Guangyue said, feeling her body getting hotter and hotter, and sweat gradually oozing out. Jiakang pondered for a long time, then Fang said: "Guangyue, I remember you often said that people have different temperaments." "Yes. But temperament and doctrinal purpose cannot be generalized." "That may be compared with the evil cults that endanger the world. They value human life, advocate compassion, and promote justice and peace... Those who uphold these beliefs are closer to us than those who do not believe in them." "My lord, maybe the villain is too stubborn to say this, but people have different temperaments, and there are also people who are worrisome. If they become a runaway horse, a slanderer, or become a wild fox Zen, like a demon, it may be more difficult than It’s even more terrifying to have no faith.” "No, it's not that you are unreasonable. Yes, many people think they have enlightened, but in fact they are demons. It is unreasonable to force others to believe in, or not to allow people to believe in anything. People have different temperaments, and their appearances are also different. Because people have different origins, minds and natures. Therefore, no matter what sect or sect they come from, why not let nature take its course... This is my idea." "My lord, on this point, I want to talk about my humble opinion. My lord, you mentioned the 'demonic way' just now, and I don't think you are really teaching the way of magic. However, many scholars in the world are not as loyal to their beliefs as your lord, but they have no respect for the eight major schools. It is as clear as the palm of your hand, regardless of ghosts, gods, Confucianism, and Buddhism, you can count it like a treasure." "This is the way of the little devil." "But it's like this. They know it, but they don't believe it. So no matter what kind of current they encounter, they will be washed away immediately, just like driftwood drifting with the current." "yes." "The sky rains, the rain produces floods, and the torrents are surging. This is the way of heaven. The villain..." Guangyue gradually found it difficult to restrain the thoughts in her heart, and a strange light bloomed in her eyes, "It is not the villain's original intention to change the adults' beliefs. The villain is impressed by the carelessness of the driftwood, but if the driftwood breaks down the embankment that has been built so hard, the people behind the dike will suffer, so the villain reminds the adults to pay attention to the 'driftwood'. " Ieyasu suddenly nodded vigorously. "Well, I seem to understand what you mean." After a pause, he said again: "Guangyue, what you mean in your words seems to be Okubao Chang'an?" Guangyue was stunned, but he had no regrets.When he mentioned "driftwood", he was indeed thinking of Chang'an.Chang'an didn't have a serious belief, but he was full of knowledge, relying on those things to be full of arrogance and arrogance, which is really just a fox pretending to be a tiger. "Guang Yue, are you also worried about Date Masamune?" Ieyasu suddenly said something joking. Faced with such a straightforward question, Guangyue couldn't answer immediately.He is not afraid of Date Masamune, but the Nichiren Daishonin who is extremely sacred in his heart.人与人之间，互生憎恨万万不可，但对于那些玩弄权术、野心万丈之人，却绝不可宽大待之。从这个意义上来说，大久保长安和伊达政宗亦有所不同。二人同样都有强烈的贪欲，但长安虽有怪癖，却无杀气。政宗则相反，貌似超然，实则周身充满乱世的凛凛杀气。家康此时特意提及二人，是否已对此有所察觉了？不过，现在光悦无确凿证据以评说是非。 “是我过分了。让你说说心中好恶，其实，说了又有何用？” “不，大人，既然大人问起，小人焉有不说之理？小人以为，伊达大人令人恐惧，小人诚不喜他。说这些真是不该，小人心里的祖师刚才这般数落，才未立刻回您。” “明白。完全明白。尊重心中的佛祖乃是诚心啊。” 家康停了一下，又道，“但是，想想啊，我非疏忽大意之人。我对将军亦常说，真正的大将既能坐于漏船，亦能够卧于火屋。从你说的话中，我似发现船上有一两处快漏了。” 光悦再也说不出话来。一些人一旦拥有武力，便有极大威风；一些人则一旦有了权柄，就再难驾驭；但多数人因露了真面目而让人恐惧，也因露了真面目而让人亲近。光悦觉得秀吉公可怖，乃是因秀吉仗权杀了关白秀次及其妻妾。现在，光悦觉得家康可畏，乃是因为自己的真面目露在了家康面前，但这种畏惧亦伴着一丝亲近。 “嗯，看来，宗派对立比我想象的要可惧许多。” “大人明察。” “但我也很顽固。天下稳如泰山，德川方能安稳。故，我会为我的儿孙们计。先前我不愿世人这般评说我，如今已不为此烦恼了。” “若非如此，名剑恐就无用武之地了。” “赠送给安南国君的长刀，你用心做吧。” “事关名誉，小人定打造出能代表日本国的名刀，体现大人心意。” “有劳你了，光悦。” 光悦恭敬地垂首起身。
