Kyoto is modeled after Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty of China, named Heiankyo City of Peace and Tranquility, has a history of more than 600 years, but the whole of Kyoto so far, the only place that looks solemn and luxurious is still the emperor's palace, the nobles' mansions, and temples.
The most here is the temple, "three steps one temple, seven steps one shrine", these buildings constitute the main body of Kyoto, Xia Xun entered a temple, but among the thousands of temples and shrines in Kyoto, it is a relatively small one.
Fortunately, although the temple is small, it is also complete, the courtyard is also wide, and the momentum of the building is still imitated as much as possible in the Tang Dynasty.
This style was completely unseen in later generations, because during the "Onin Rebellion", the whole of Kyoto was burned to the ground, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi rebuilt Kyoto after unifying the city, because he ingeniously stipulated that the residents of the city should pay taxes according to the width of the door, and as a result, the later buildings and courtyards were relatively small.
Xia Xun pretended to be interested and browsed casually, and he had already entered seven temples like this, and this was the eighth.
After wandering in the courtyard for a while, the guards hinted to him that no one was following, and Xia Xun suddenly walked around to the back temple.
In the temple, there was a little novice who greeted him at the right time, didn't say anything, only bowed to him slightly, and led him to walk back, Xia Xun didn't ask much, to a meditation room, the little novice gently opened the shoji door, bowed slightly to Xia Xun, Xia Xun walked in, the little novice covered the shoji door, put his hands together, and walked away casually.
This is a bedroom with distinct rooms, tatami mats on the floor, a small table next to it, there is tea on the case, and there is a woman sitting cross-legged behind the case, dressed gracefully, dressed as a noble woman in this book, with a Tang Dynasty style "shallow dew" on her head, and the silk mesh black gauze hanging down is covering the chin, revealing a white and delicate, round and delicate chin.
Xia Xun gave her a gentle salute and sat down cross-legged across from her.
The woman raised her hands and gently took off the "shallow dew" on her head, although the hairstyle and dress are the appearance of the nobles, but the charm of a pretty face, Xia Xun naturally recognizes it, she is Mrs.
Xizhu.
"Xu'er has seen her stepmother" Mrs.
Xizhu is Xie Yufei's godmother, treating her like her own daughter, and now Xie Yufei is married to Xia Xun, Xia Xun will follow Xie Yufei and call her her stepmother.
Mrs.
Xizhu smiled lightly and said, "Yufei is about to give birth."
Xia Xun said: "Yes, there are still more than a month to give birth, but unfortunately the state affairs are busy, but I can't take care of them by my side." ” Xia Xun paused for a moment, and then said: "Brother Gao Sheng's side has already dealt with it, and from now on, in the secret file of Jinyi Wei, he will never find out about his every move." ” Mrs.
Xizhu nodded happily, her baby daughter married Ximen Qing, Mrs.
Xizhu naturally hoped that her son-in-law and wife would be peaceful, and that an order would not fall from the sky at any time and disrupt his life.
Xia Xun completely erased Ximenqing's information from the secret file, and from then on he was a free man, and there would never be a secret identity to bind him.
"Ma'am, what's going on here?"
Mrs.
Xizhu said: "Fortunately, everyone in the clan of this book has traces to follow, it is impossible to pretend to be a clan, I am still pretending to be a businessman, a businessman who has made a fortune through business, but has no power and status, this identity has won his trust, and I have donated a large amount of incense one after another." ” When Mrs.
Xizhu said this, Dai Mei frowned slightly and said, "Is this kind of effort worth it?"
"Worth it" Xia Xun said affirmatively: "Sometimes, benefits cannot be measured by money.
Godmother is saying that this is a line of reading, and the people of Qianlong don't know the people on your line, and they don't know what you're doing, so you still have to keep your reading surname.
Now, I don't need my godmother to do anything, you just need to do a good job, make more money, have a place in Kyoto, and donate some money to Daikakuji Temple from time to time, and this investment will always pay off. ” Xia Xun thought for a while, and then asked, "This abbot of Dajue Temple, do you have any moves?"
Mrs.
Xizhu said: "The southern lord resigned from the honorific title and military battle five years ago, and now there are only close ministers such as Ano Minoru, Gongwei father and son, and Rokujo Shixi, as well as Yoshida Kanehei, Kanedun father and son by his side to give him a lecture on Shinto, and other than that, there is no action."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "There is no abnormal movement, then it is suspicious, you wait, he will always break out one day, and what we have to do is to increase his strength as much as possible, lest he break out without enough strength."
If it's a person who says it, you know what they're talking about.
The abbot of Daikakuji Temple said by Xia Xun and the southern lord said by Mrs.
Xizhu are the same person, that is, accepting the conditions of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, giving up the emperor's honorific title, and handing over the three artifacts to abdicate the southern heavenly empress Kameyama, he gave up the throne, and after the unification of the north and south, he lived in Kyoto's Daikakuji Temple, and was honored by the emperor of the Northern Dynasty as "Emperor Buden" and "Emperor Taishang".
Five years ago, Gokameyama resigned from his honorific title and military battle, and the Empress Komatsu of the Northern Heavens and the Minister of Imperial Politics Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did not refuse, and since then Kameyama has officially become a monk, with the name Vajra Heart, and lived a reclusive life in Daikakuji Temple.
But Xia Xun did not forget this outdated emperor, among the daimyo and guardians of the former Southern Dynasty, Houguishan still has great influence.
One of the conditions for him to promise to give up the title and power of the emperor was that the throne of the emperor would be inherited by the northern and southern dynasties in turn, but would the northern dynasty really agree?
Now reigning is Emperor Komatsu of the Northern Dynasty, according to the agreement of taking turns to govern, after Komatsu, it should be ascended by the heir of Emperor Gotenkame of the Southern Dynasty, although the emperor is just a puppet of the shogun, Xia Xun does not think that Gokomatsu will hand over the throne to the Southern Dynasty, and at that time, Gokameyama, who has already given up the throne, will never stop.
I'm afraid Go-Kameyama has already realized this, and he is just waiting for Emperor Go-Komatsu to make a clear attitude so that he can become famous.
Xia Xun has always been a little curious about the little monk Yixiu, and specially ordered someone to inquire about his news, only to know that Yixiu is a son of the current Empress Komatsu, the reason why he became a monk is because his mother is the daughter of the Fujiwara clan, a powerful minister of the Southern Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is worried that this dual identity will be detrimental to the rule of the Northern Dynasty, so he forced Emperor Komatsu to expel this son from the court.
He became a monk at Ankokuji Temple in Kyoto, and always sent a samurai to spy on him.
Imagine, they are still so jealous of a son of the emperor who is slightly involved in the Southern Dynasty, and one day he will cede the throne to the heir of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Xia Xun, who sees this, and it is expected that the Emperor Gokameyama, who still has the strength to fight, is already a monk, and the emperor said that the emperor will not give up when the time comes, so he will make some investments in advance.
It's not a gentleman to do this, but those who want to be gentlemen politically are idiots.
History has long proved that there are only eternal interests between countries, and there are no eternal friends.
Our "big brother" Su clan, our "eternal brother" Yin clan, and our "little brother plus comrade" Yue clan, none of them have never met each other in arms Therefore, Xia Xun did not jump like thunder because of the hostility of General Spo, nor did he put his heart in his heart because of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's deferential closeness, everything he did was to ensure the interests of his nation and country.
Eggs can't be put in one basket, Xia Xun didn't fully pin his hopes on the brother wall of Ashikaga Yoshimochi and Ashikaga Yoshiji, and the dispute between the two emperors will undoubtedly set off a bigger storm.
Xia Xun didn't stay in this temple for too long, and spent about the same amount of time visiting other temples, He Tianyang knocked on the door on time, and Xia Xun left with him.

Xia Xun continued to wander around and visited two temples, then embarked on the return journey, through a street and alley, into the clan surname of the mansion area, the number of pedestrians on the road was obviously reduced, Xia Xun looked all the way, watching the scenery on both sides of the road, next to the sudden "female royal car", four stout sedan chair men carried, the sedan chair was followed by two kimono girls, a look at the sedan chair is a noble female surname.
Whether it is the "female imperial car" used by the female surname or the "ride" used by the generals, daimyos, and high-ranking samurai, it is actually the same, just like a box, the difference is only the number of ornaments on it and whether it is gorgeous or not.
The outside of this "female royal car" is decorated with large golden patterns, and even the two lifting bars are painted in gold, which is very gorgeous.
Xia Xun is very difficult to understand, from the point of view of the efforts put into the decoration of the sedan chair, their nobles are not unable to ride the spacious and comfortable Chinese-style sedan chair, why do they have to design the sedan chair so small, there is only a side-pulled shoji door, people sit inside, not too depressed Xia Xun just glanced at it curiously, and when the sedan chair came to him, a girl in a kimono suddenly whispered: "Your Excellency Minister Daming, please get on the sedan chair."
"What" Xia Xun was a little stunned, at this time they were walking in a long alley, the trees on both sides were lonely, and there was no one before and after, especially the other party's title, it could not be called someone else, Xia Xun was stunned, the sedan car door suddenly opened, and a young woman wearing a gorgeous kimono leaned out of the middle, and said to him urgently: "Your Excellency the Minister of the Ming Dynasty, please get on the sedan chair, I have very important things, I want to ask Your Excellency" Xia Xun saw her appearance, it was the young woman he had seen in the garden of the Flower Palace, the biological mother of Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, Xia Xun suddenly understood something, "If you see someone seeing such a meeting, you won't be able to wash it away if you throw it into the East China Sea."
However, if it weren't for the Ashikaga shogun's daughter, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find a suitable opportunity and place to meet.
Xia Xun quickly made up his mind, he quickly glanced forward and backward, and when he saw that no one was following, he immediately bent down and got into the sedan chair.
Xia Xun entered, and the four sedan chairmen immediately struggled, but fortunately, the royal car used parallel bars, but it did not swing left and right, which made the people in the car sad.
The sedan chair was very narrow, although the young woman quickly shrank back and gave him a place, but such a big man got in, and there was no space to sit cross-legged, Xia Xun could only kneel in the sedan chair according to the rules of the people, and her knees against her knees, face to face as if worshipping the church.
Xia Xun leaned back slightly, and said helplessly: "Do you have to meet like this, it seems too crowded." ” The young woman in the kimono smiled shyly, bowed to him and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's difficult for the Spring Bureau to find a suitable opportunity to meet Your Excellency, it's really troublesome for you." ” The place was already narrow, and when she bowed again, her head was about to touch Xia Xun's chest, Xia Xun hurriedly smiled bitterly: "Madame, don't be so polite, please say it quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to last long if I sit like this."
