Chapter 27 Chapter 27

Kakukura and Ichi came to visit Motoami Koetsu, not just to inform. What Youshi thinks in his heart is: In order to develop overseas transactions, domestic peace must be maintained, otherwise, the old religion country will use Osaka to plan to restore the decline. Yoichi even came up with a countermeasure - quickly drive Toyotomi Hideyori out of Osaka, smashing the delusion of the criminals! "What do you want me to do?" Guangyue asked before leaving with the city. Yoichi laughed loudly, "That's what you look like, sir! Haha, the one who bears the heavy responsibility of the family and the country is Lord Ogosho, not Kadokura Yoichi."

Guangyue finally understood why Yushi came here—he wanted Guangyue to go to Junfu to meet the Imperial Palace.If not, why did he bother to provoke each other with such words? Guangyue sent Yu Shi away with a puzzled face, returned to the room, and silently picked up the Changqing tea bowl.He didn't care about admiring the tea bowl, he just rubbed the bottom of the bowl with his hands, his eyes fixed. Previously, most of the big merchants from Beijing and Osaka to Sakai Port were Hideyoshi's people, and only Chaya and Guangyue followed Tokugawa Ieyasu from the beginning.But they have always believed that it is still Hideyoshi who guarantees the prosperity of their business.Later, with the Shuyin ship, Japan began to do business with overseas countries, and everything was changing rapidly. The way big businessmen pull and pull abacus beads seems to have also undergone subtle changes in principles, preferences, and interests.However, Guangyue never expected that the merchant would say that he would drive the Taige orphan out of Daban City!

Seeing such a cruel reality, Guangyue couldn't help feeling pity, and at the same time felt a little world-weary.He stood up, took out two more teacups from Duobaoge and placed them side by side with the Changqing teacup in front of him.He lined up the tea bowls in the order of the first-generation Chojiro, the second-generation Changqing, and the young third-generation Taoist, and watched quietly. "Even tea bowls can reflect the changes of the times." Guang Yue sighed. Chojiro's craftsmanship is simple and heavy, and the carcass is round and steady. This style is no longer seen in the work of the third generation of Taoists.On the contrary, Taoist tea bowls have clear texture, refined shape and bright luster...

At this moment, my mother came in and said that Ami was here. "Oh, sir, you are indeed a refined person, do you want to have a tea party?" Ami came in after Miaoxiu, and was immediately attracted by the Taoist's tea bowl.Ami is the third generation of Nawu, so the new generation's technology is the easiest to catch her eyes. Guangyue left the Taoist tea bowl silently, put the other two back into the box, and said, "Shall I serve you a cup of tea?" "Thank you. It's been a long time since I had tea with you sir." "Ami, how old are you?"

"Hehe, Ah Mi has forgotten her age." "It's because I didn't think well. I asked you to do too much." Guangyue took off the lid of the tea pot while speaking, "However, if I don't ask you something, the distance between you and the teahouse will be even greater. Oh, I just comfort myself." "gentlemen……" "Have you cleared things up for me?" "Yes. The burning of the Portuguese ship in Nagasaki seems to have sent sparks to Junfu." "Oh?" "The man hired by the tea house has checked everything out. The man and I took the boat all the way to Fushimi."

"Oh." "It seems to be Okubo Ishimitori who is fanning the flames." "While the Great Imperial Palace is not in Junfu?" Guangyue quietly stirred the tea brush, keeping her expression on. "Yes. The Imperial Palace has returned to Junfu, and Dr. Arima Xiu also went to Junfu by boat. Maybe he has already arrived." "So things are going to come to light soon?" "However, the person who ignites the fire will never be burned, which is what the eyeliner means." "Oh." Guangyue put the brewed tea in front of Ami and sat up straight again.

"Sir, there is a saying called one session one session?" "A speech favored by Layman Nerihu." Ami sipped the tea with relish, and praised: "Good tea!" She saluted, but her face suddenly changed, and she said word by word: "Ah Xing, it seems that he is no longer alive." "Ashin? She..." "It's just that Shi Jianshou was not caught by the fire. The fire was really carefully lit." "Miss Ami, this matter must be kept a secret!" "Yes. The stage was set on a high valley, the rope broke, and everyone fell into the abyss, but the strange thing is, not many bodies were found." Ami tried to speak as nonchalantly as possible.

"Oh. So, that small box is really Ah Xing's relic." Guangyue pushed the teacup aside, showing a look of dismay. Listening to the sound of water in the tea kettle, Ami changed the subject: "One period, one period... No matter how the times change, life is always unpredictable." Guangyue didn't answer. If Ami meant that no matter in troubled times or in times of peace, people are mortal, then they can't just nod their heads in agreement.Life is unpredictable, but death on the battlefield is not the same thing as death in your bed. But Ami seemed to be thinking of something else. "Sometimes, I also feel that I don't understand more and more." She said calmly, "I don't understand people, and I don't understand myself. I feel that in order to survive, people must make others suffer and must kill others..."

"That can't be done!" Guangyue interrupted her loudly, "If you want to live, you also want to let others live. If you don't have such wisdom, you are considered a shameful person." "Sir, do you believe that people really have that kind of wisdom? If so, why did Okubo Ishijian see the guard Ah Xing..." Ami just wanted to say "kill" but felt that the word was inappropriate, so she swallowed the words and lowered her eyes . Guangyue smiled, but her face was crying.Ami's doubts stung him severely. "Perhaps life is indeed like Miss Ami said, you must sacrifice others."

"The sacrifice was too great, and I couldn't really hate Ishi Jianshou. Although I understand that there is no sunny day in the world if I don't hate the wicked..." Guangyue hurriedly waved her hands vigorously again, and said: "That's not acceptable, if the girl thinks this way, people will probably become ghosts in the endless hell." After speaking, Guangyue fetched tea for herself again.He wanted to inquire about the matter in more detail while listening to Ami, otherwise it would be difficult to decide how to act in the future.These are all major events closely related to his life.

"Miss Ami, now you are standing at the gate of correct faith." "Uh, I'm confused..." "Even if Ishi Jianshou is the villain who killed Ah Xing, you shouldn't hate him, because you have a compassionate heart and can reflect on your own sins from the wicked." "yes." "Those who don't know how to introspect, even if they keep their bodies, they have no chance with gods and Buddhas, do you understand?" Guangyue paused and said, "Miss Ami just talked about it for a while, and I just said that. Gods and Buddhas will not be kind to you." People who have no destiny. The so-called fate is our heart of atonement!" He stared at Ami with extremely sharp eyes, "Atonement, confession... If it is not like this, a person cannot be called a person. Chasing... such a person is not a human, but a ghost! Ghosts can appear in various forms in order to achieve their own goals, and this can only be called 'ghost karma', and it will not last long." Ami seemed quite surprised, she stared at Guangyue intently.Guangyue's reaction was much more intense than she expected, and she was greatly surprised. "However, just hating the evil spirit cannot destroy it. Without the blessing of gods and Buddhas..." "Blessed by gods and Buddhas?" "Don't look for gods and Buddhas with that kind of eyes. Gods and Buddhas are not illusory or unreal. They are deep in your heart, in the heart where your hands are clasped together." "Holding your palms together close to your heart?" "Yes. The gods and Buddhas are in the compassionate heart that sees their sins and feels guilty for their own uncleanness. When people put their hands together, they grasp the true faith; if they grasp the faith, they will inevitably make some oaths; fulfill themselves vows, to follow the teachings of gods and Buddhas, so that people have the power to expel ghosts..." Ami thinks that Guangyue is like a "ghost". She has never seen anyone else pursue justice as persistently as he does. Guangyue also seemed to notice it, and said: "Haha! I am a ghost—your eyes tell me so. But I am not a ghost. I have already walked the path you are walking and entered the door of faith. Think about it Let’s go to the situation when Master Nichiren was there! When you see him, the Master will definitely point out the maze! What is the practice of a bodhisattva, what is ghost karma, what is to be done, and what is not to be done... At that time, you will also be full of confidence , and calmly entered the door of faith. You should walk into that door yourself. In this way, you can appreciate the sincere heart for a while." "..." "Forget it, let's talk about Okubo Ishimimori. You said just now that Ishijianmori was instigating the flames of the Portuguese ship?" "Yes. And, I also said, the one who starts the fire doesn't get burned." "What's the meaning of this? If Mr. Shi Jianshou committed evil deeds, I will make him burn even worse!" Ami fell into deep thought again, she believed in Guangyue's persistence. "Those who are burned by fire are not necessarily those who set fire. Although this statement is a bit strange, it is the unshakable belief of Honami Koetsu. Playing with fire for one's own ambition and desire is not the same as playing with a murder weapon for ambition and desire. Second, you will definitely hurt yourself. You will understand the principle of karma sooner or later. Let’s talk about Shi Jianshou..." Guangyue gritted her teeth, and after uttering a series of words, she turned to the previous topic again, "After setting fire People don't get burned by fire, did that guy say that?" "He thinks he's a lot smarter than everybody else." "Hmph! That cleverness is just a little cleverness, let alone...how do you think he is clever?" "If you ignore the burning of the Portuguese ship, sooner or later the fire will be burned on yourself - he realized this, so he immediately took Daihachi Okamoto, who had cheated Mr. Arima of money, to his home for interrogation. It was handled in an orderly manner.” "He just dealt with the matters related to himself, and the emperor didn't know about it?" "No, that's not all. He detained Okamoto Daihachi and gagged Honda Masazumi. Everything is under the control of Ishimi Mori. That's what the teahouse said." "How is Arima-sama?" "The people in the tea house said that he had paid a huge amount of bribes, and he might be confiscated first of all his fiefdom and official position, and then be imprisoned." "Where's that guy named Okamoto?" "The man said that it depends on Shi Jianshou's mood. Okamoto may be burned at the stake, or nailed." "What trouble will Mr. Honda have?" "He has such villains under his command, and he doesn't know anything about his evil deeds. That's enough for him to lose his head in front of others." "Hmph! It's really unexpected." Guangyue shook her head, "Although I'm just a ghost, I'm still a fool! I forgot that Honda Uenosuke and Okubo Ishimishou have different official positions." "Different official positions?" "Yes." Guangyue changed the subject lightly, "Although Honda Uenosuke served by the Okusho, and Okubo Ishimori walked around, Okubo is after all the Okubo trusted by the Osho. Mr. Honda must find an opportunity to deal with him. This This kind of stupid behavior is the little trick we tea people hate the most." "So, the person who lit the fire will be burned sooner or later?" "This is not my prophecy. Master Nichiren has clearly taught: to be an enemy of others for one's own self-interest will be a sin against one's own body. If people who commit such foolish and ghost karma run rampant, the world will fall into a boundless hell. No, Yuki Xu Zhen was killed." Tears welled up in Guangyue's eyes. Ami silently looked at the small courtyard.The stone lantern said to be a gift from Fushimi Mahoko Kobori Enshu was divided into two by the afterglow of the setting sun, with yin and yang everywhere. "Sir, I also think that Xing was probably killed, but I can't say anything that hates Okubo Ishimori." Guangyue didn't respond, but quietly wiped the teacup. "Sir, can I talk to Qingji?" "Say it to the teahouse?" "These evil deeds of Okubo Ishimori..." "The man who told you this may have told him." "No, I think...do you want to report all this to the Great Imperial Palace..." "No!" Guangyue immediately interrupted her, "If you tell the Chaya what you think and me, he may immediately report it to the Imperial Palace. But at that time, the Chaya may be involved in this matter, and the chaos will be serious. "Guangyue smiled slightly, trying not to let Ami get into trouble, "Girl Ami, please keep these things in your heart." "So I won't tell you forever?" "There's someone to tell." "who?" "Itakura-sama on behalf of the director! Itakura-sama knows me well, talk to him as soon as possible. You can pretend to be an outsider." "yes." "This is not a trivial matter. The Ogosho has worked hard all his life. The Tokugawa family may be divided into two because of this matter. If the Okubo and the people around the general are divided into two factions, Okubo Sagami and Honda Masamori, that is the best in the world. Woe!" "yes." "The literary faction and military faction around the Taige fought, and finally led to Guan Yuan's battle. This is the precept of yesterday. We must make a careful decision before taking action." Guangyue said, but finally couldn't hold back: yes Wouldn't it be better to meet Okubo Ishimimori?Or before that, go see Itakura Katsushige first? Seeing Guangyue thinking seriously, Ami said: "Sir, Ami still has something to say to mother-in-law. I haven't given her a gift yet." After saying that, she quietly left. Guangyue put her hands on her knees and continued to think. The notes of Ah Xing in the small box are not the delusions of the mentally ill.Okubo Chang'an seemed to have a strong feeling that he was facing danger, so he became anxious just now.Regarding the reasons, Axing wrote three things in his notes: the first is the joint signature, the second is the handling of the privately stored gold, and the third is the guard against Date Masamune.Masamune's wariness towards Chang'an seems to be due to the confrontation between Okubo's loyal neighbor and Honda Masamune's father and son.If so, it would be weird again. Guangyue didn't know what to think, she stood up suddenly, and walked around the room.Then, he quickly walked to the next room and burned a stick of incense in front of the Buddha statue.Then he returned to the room, put on his shoes, and went outside.For Guangyue, it is really rare for her to come out without warning. When they arrived at the intersection, Guangyue summoned a bearer, and said, "Go to Mr. Horihe's residence." After saying that, she quickly got into the sedan chair.Things may have gotten out of hand.It has been a few days since the people in the tea house reported to Ami, and nearly two months have passed since Ieyasu returned to Edo from Nijo Castle.The words of General Biss who visited Osaka Castle have naturally reached Itakura Katsucho's ears.There are too many facts that Guangyue wants to ask. Upon arriving at Suo Sidai's mansion, Guangyue was already dripping with sweat.Itakura Katsushige seemed to have just returned from a trip not long ago. He was dressed in casual clothes, standing in the porch under the eaves, feeding the carp in the spring. "Scared, Mr. De Youzhai! Come, the porch is cool, come quickly." Itakura ordered the young attendant who brought Guangyue in to take the mat to the porch, and sat down with his back against the pillar. "The villain is terrified, let's call him Guangyue as before." "That can't be done. You are our teacher. As an unworthy disciple, I always don't know how to use Mr.'s method of self-cultivation and life, and I am very distressed. What is the urgent matter today, Mr.?" Itakura looked leisurely, while Guangyue wiped the sweat off his brow hurriedly, "I heard that General Biss has gone to Osaka Castle." "Oh, you heard?" "Kakukura has been here. Has anything strange happened in Junfu recently?" Hearing Guangyue's repeated questions, Itakura Katsushige's face was gloomy, and his eyes fell on the carp in the spring. "Actually, there is a girl in the family who serves at Okubo Ishimishou-sama's house. I haven't heard of it for a long time, so I sent someone to inquire about it." Guangyue was still old-tempered, and said bluntly, "But send that person After bringing back strange news, I rushed to the door and apologized to my lord for the recent neglect of contact." "The strange news... what is it?" Sheng Zhong finally looked away, and slowly put the white fan in his hand on his lap. "Okubo Ishimi Mori-sama is most likely busy in Junfu for something." Sheng Zhong replied immediately: "That matter has been decided." "Decision?" "Is it about Okamoto Daihachi? Daihachi's lawless servant has been set on fire on the banks of the Abe River." "Oh. The judge is Okubo Ishimisama-sama?" Sheng Zhong nodded, and seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "Afterwards, I feel a little uneasy, because Honda and his son and Okubo Sagami had a conflict over this matter." "Ishijianshu-sama is really the one who lit the fire?" "The cause of the incident was that Dr. Arima Osho suddenly found Mr. Honda Uenosuke and asked some questions, but at that time Ishimi Mamoru had already taken Okamoto Daihachi into custody, and it was irreversible. Although Daihachi wanted to find Uenosuke's men Helped, but it was too late. The matter was completely exposed, Da Ba was burned at the stake, and the repair doctor was also detained by Ishi Jianshou. Ishi Jianshou is afraid that he will be promoted soon." Itakura Katsushige seemed not to want to say more Talking, changed the subject, "Is the girl from your family still in the Okubo residence?" Guangyue sadly did not answer.Ah Xing's life and death are private matters, but he came to visit Katsushige to fulfill the order of a commoner.He chose his words and said: "Master Suosi, Okuboishi sees that Lord Shou is a little too hasty recently, what do you think?" "Maybe." "Whenever I think about whether Master Ishimishou is so anxious and whether there will be some kind of connection with General Bis' release in Osaka Castle, I can't sit still." "meet." "Master Shi Jianshou is not a person who will retaliate. He doesn't want others to hinder him from getting ahead, but he also doesn't want to hinder others. He wants to make himself and others happy and honorable. However, these recent things are against his nature. I do not know why?" "Goes against nature?" "Why did Ishijian Mori deliberately turn Honda and his son into enemies? Why did the girl in the clan disappear? Why did he hide the joint signature?" Guangyue's eyes shone with a sharp light, and she counted them one by one. Itakura Katsushige has many crimes and is good at convincing people with reasoning, but Guangyue is above him, his words are as sharp as a knife, and can penetrate straight into the heart. "My lord Suo Si also met once or twice with the priests of the foreign religion. They often mentioned your lord in their letters and exchanges with their own country. Please forgive me for being rude. It is not so easy for them to preach to you, but if the generals and ministers are divided into It is quite easy for the two factions to join the battle between Nanban and Hongmao, and to split Edo and Osaka. This is a major event in the world, please allow me to ask again: Is the Lord of the Imperial Palace going to let you be the Secretary of the Emperor?" "Exactly." "If your lord is aware of this, please be more careful with Okubo Ishimi." "Yes, oh no, alas! This is a matter of the Junfu. I am afraid that I, the governor of the capital, will be beyond my reach!" "I'm just reminding my lord, I'm rude. However, Okubo Ishimishou intends to be an enemy of Mr. Honda and his son this time. In fact... if we don't investigate the reason, it may cause a catastrophe. Even if Honda and his son remain silent on this matter , but feeling unhappy, Si Shi sees that Shou will plan... Alas, if the general's subordinates are really divided into two factions, to say something unlucky, once the master of the Imperial Palace travels, who can make up for the gap? Mamoru Honda Sado is a good teacher to the general, Okubo Sagami is the boss, and Okubo Ishimimori is the elder brother of the general...Let it go on, not only will they be divided into two factions, the world may become a chaotic world again! Thinking of these , I can't help but feel the chills all over my body..." Guangyue was so angry that Itakura Katsushige couldn't help being greatly shocked, "Since you are so worried, if I continue to be indecisive, it is really because of Mr. Sage's painstaking efforts. Actually, I haven't thought about it at all." "Oh, all right……" "Actually, I would like to talk to Naruse and Ando first, to get to the bottom of it. Anyway, Honda and his son are the genealogical daimyos. Even if Ishi Jianshu calls himself Okubo, he is still behind. In case conflicts arise between the two, It must be that Ishimi Shou has lost the wind. That's why Ishimi Shou first detained Dr. Arima Osei this time. In fact, this is the way Honda Masazumi suggested that he take the initiative to avoid disputes." "Oh?" "If you let the arrogance of the Pudai daimyo go on, it will be hard to control. If you just let them go, the glory of Sanhe will be dusted. Do you agree with this, sir?" At this time, the servants brought cold barley tea.The two used it silently. "Mr. De Youzhai." "grown ups." "Lady Lixiu used to talk about one session and one session before his death." Hearing the phrase "one session, one session" again and again, Guangyue opened her eyes wide, and said, "This...let me think about it carefully, it seems quite meaningful." "Yeah, actually, I just happened to think of this statement." "But how many people can realize its true meaning?" After finishing speaking, Shengzhong stopped abruptly, and the following words seemed to be for Guangyue to think about and understand by herself.Guangyue seems to have fallen into Shengzhong's trap helplessly.Life is but the accumulation of moments.Cherish every moment of meeting and devote your heart to the momentary meeting. This is the proposition of the tea ceremony, and it is the true meaning that can enrich life.Happiness, fulfillment, peace, glory... The tea ceremony teaches the world that the only way to success lies in this. "Most people in the world drink tea with their mouths, but they don't have tea in their hearts, and they don't really understand the true meaning of one period and one meeting." Guangyue said. "I..." After a long while, Katsushige said, "Sometimes, I will count the people around me. In today's world, the people who really understand the true meaning of 'one period, one meeting' are the Lord of the Imperial Palace first, and Mr. De Youzhai second. There are also people who are desperately pursuing and wanting to reach this state, but there are very few people in the world who understand the love affair and practice it for a while with infinite joy!" "Me? Don't dare." "Actually, Lord Ogosho recites Buddha every day. This kind of practice shows that he is full of sincerity in his heart all the time. Mr. Ogosho writes the Buddha's name on paper, and Mr. De Youzhai keeps his feet on the ground. There is only one life. Every day, I will mark my true footprints. Shengzhong regards the two of you as his master! If you realize something in the future, please don’t hesitate to teach me.” After speaking, Shengzhong smiled on his face and patted his chest lightly, “Advice from Mr. , never dare to forget.” Guangyue suddenly sobbed, this kind of sentimentality is by no means a small wave of emotion.In this boundless space and endless time, how unbelievable that I and Shengzhong lived on the same day and on the same land.This is what he really felt. "One period, one meeting..." Guangyue read in a low voice, with a smile on her lips. Guangyue left Suo Sidai's mansion, but was surprised to find that her feet were not heading towards her own home, but towards Kakakura and the city's mansion. Kakukura Yoshi's real name is Yoshida Yoshi, and strictly speaking, he is Guangyue's calligraphy disciple.I don't know when it started, except for calligraphy, the two began to drink tea together, gradually became like-minded, and became half-teacher and half-friend.In the eyes of the world, like Shi Xu and the tea house, they are all fans of Guangyue. What Kakukura Yoichi had said before was hitting Guangyue's heart coldly.Yu Shidao, for the sake of peace in the world, the Toyotomi family must be ordered to leave Osaka Castle as soon as possible. These words seem to have a small conflict with the theme of "one period, one meeting" that has been mentioned several times today. "It's my fault for Joyoichi to say such things." Guangyue was originally a person with a clear distinction between good and evil. He had long been dissatisfied with Hideyoshi, and the only general Ieyasu who truly admired was Ieyasu.However, today he is troubled by this: I am just a narrow-minded person. In this vast world, spring and autumn go back and forth, the sun and the moon change, and people who happen to come to the same time and land in the same time hate each other and hate each other. What a shame to be disgusted! It was she who forgot the true meaning of the tea ceremony for a while... Guangyue felt that it was because of her influence that Kadokura and Ichi rashly said that Hideyori should be kicked out of Osaka.Things in this world are not that simple.People who were born in the same era, whether for themselves or for others, should treat each other sincerely, which is the best wisdom. In no way do I think Hideyori has to be placed in Osaka.But on the other hand, it is the work of unwise bystanders to drive him out decisively.Yushi, please, you must have a good solution, please be magnanimous for the people of the world, how can you let Hideyori leave Osaka Castle by herself without causing trouble? Guangyue felt that if she didn't say these things out, she couldn't feel at ease no matter what.Maybe it was because of the great praise from Itakura Katsushige just now, and thinking that Ieyasu might be devoutly transcribing "Namo Amitabha Buddha" in Junfu now, Guangyue felt that he had to carve "Namo Myoho Lotus Sutra" on the ground step by step. ". Yes, this is just for a while, I will bow my head and beg Yoshi to use his wisdom and compassion for poor Hiderai, Guangyue thought...
