When you arrive at Huilin temple, you can see a quiet and remote ancient temple. This temple is the temple of linjizong, which has been abandoned many times.

The houwutian family referred to this Bodhi temple as a family and sent it in with the lead of the temple. Only then did it flourish again.

The accompanying warriors stayed outside the mountain gate. Li Xiao, masata Changxing and Xinfeng got off their horses and came to the door.

When they got to the main gate of the temple and asked the monks, naturally someone led them to a quiet room behind the temple. Standing outside the courtyard, Li Xiao could see Takeda Xinfan sitting cross legged on the mat, with a volume of Buddhist scriptures between his legs, silently reciting with his eyes closed and holding Buddha beads.

Not seen for a month, Takeda's image has changed a lot. His head has been shaved and he is wearing black monk clothes, but his temperament is more calm and indifferent than before. In fact, Takeda Xinfan was only 36 years old at this time.

Therefore, like many people, Li Xiao treats each other as a mature and prudent person, ignoring his age. Now they dare not disturb Li Xiao. They can only stand outside quietly and wait.

In fact, the life of monks in Japan is quite moist. In this era, most people, including warriors, lived in straw huts and mud tile houses.

The monks' monasteries are basically brick and tile structures. Not only do they live in good conditions, monks do not need to engage in production, but there are Buddha fields belonging to the temple. They only need to collect rent occasionally, and no one cares about drinking and eating meat. This is the life of the landlord.

What's more, the monk can actually marry and have children. For example, the 11th generation Dharma Master of Benyuan temple in Shishan, Xianru of Benyuan Temple married the daughter of santiao gonglai, the left Minister of Gongqing, and Takeda Xinxuan's wife, santiao lady, the mother of his legitimate son Takeda Xinyi, is also the daughter of santiao gonglai.

Therefore, Takeda Xinxuan and Benyuan temple Xianru are still relatives of his brother-in-law.

Takeda Xinfan finally finished reading the Sutra. Li Xiao and the four of them removed their shoes in the courtyard and entered the room.

Everyone chatted and said some words of don't come to peace. Brother Takeda Xinfeng didn't see his father for a long time. Don't sigh.

And masata Changxing introduced himself respectfully: "my Lord, I have always admired the reputation of the three men of the masata family. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see you."

Takeda shinfan gently nodded and said, "prestige is a thing of the past, and I have entered the Tao now. You are the son of yidezhai. I haven't seen your father for a long time. How is he doing?"

"Father, everything is fine."

After that, Takeda Xinfan looked at Li Xiao and said, "Li Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is everything going well in Gaoyuan city? Shiro, please take care of it."

Li xiaoha smiled and said, "fortunately, thank you for your concern. Your highness shenglai is still a little impatient, but if you temper it carefully, you will have enough strength to take charge of Suwa's visit in the future."

Masata Changxing has stayed in Gaoyuan city for many days and has a good understanding of Li Xiao's speaking style. In Gaoyuan City, the relationship between him and Takeda shenglai is similar to that between teachers and family officials. There is no need to worry about so much in his words. In contrast, Li Xiao is very familiar with others except for his fear of Yamamoto's exploration and assistance.

According to Li Xiaogang's words, if you were an ordinary courtier, even if you were an old man, you wouldn't dare to criticize behind his back like him.

Takeda Xinfan nodded and said, "my Lord, it's your experience to send you to Lord shenglai. In another year or two, he will let you return to our family as a direct minister. You know, my Lord has great expectations for you. Few people in Takeda's family can do this."

Want me to go back to Takeda shinxuan?

Li Xiao smiled, then glanced at Zhentian Changxing. Sure enough, he looked at himself with a kind of worship. Not to mention the Takeda family, there are several people in Japan who can be appreciated by Takeda shinxuan.

Li Xiao laughed contentedly at the bottom of his heart. It seems that the goal of bringing Makita Changxing to see Takeda Xinfan has been reached. It's better to let others praise you for one or two words than to boast 10000 words, not to mention what Takeda Xinfan said in his mouth.

Moreover, with the conversation between Li Xiao and Takeda Xinfan, Makita Changxing feels Takeda Xinfan's importance to Li Xiao more and more. Besides, men are most likely to have the plot of hero worship at his age, and they won't be so easy to be bewitched when they grow up.

Seeing that masata Changxing falls into his trap step by step, Li Xiao secretly complains that it is the king's way to let him fear himself. In this way, even if he becomes Takeda shenglai's family minister in the future, he won't dare to make any ideas about himself for a long time, otherwise he will feed the tiger.

While they were talking, the abbot of Huilin temple, kuachuan Shao, was delighted. He was dressed in a monk's robe, with snow-white beard and eyebrows. He looked like an eminent monk.

In Japan, monks are generally regarded as a symbol of erudition and wisdom, while linjizong attaches great importance to enlightenment and has produced many knowledgeable eminent monks.

Therefore, many famous monks in Linji are invited to be learned monks to solve the education problems of their next generation.

Ru Qixiu Yuanbo is a teacher of Takeda Xinxuan.

There is also the famous Taiyuan xuezhai. His two disciples are greatly famous, namely, Jinchuan Yiyuan and Tokugawa Jiakang. Later, both of them became outstanding names in the Warring States period, and successively received the title of "the first bow in Hokkaido.".

At that time, it was Taiyuan xuezhai that promoted the formation of Shande Temple alliance, which led to the establishment of jiaxiangjun Three Kingdoms alliance, which is the pattern of today's Three Kingdoms alliance of Wutian family, today's Sichuan family and Beitiao family.

Although kuaigawa Shaoxi did not teach anyone, his disciple huzai Zongyi was a learned monk of Yida Zhengzong.

Li Xiao and others were glad to see him one after another. When introduced to Li Xiao, kuaigawa Shaoxi suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Xinxuan mentioned when playing chess with me a few days ago that you are the Ming warrior who blocked Shangshan Qianxin's sword for him." Li xiaoha smiled. It seems that he is also famous now. He is modest now.

Then they all sat together, and then there was a tea party as usual. It's easy to go through a series of red tape etiquette. After drinking bitter tea, everyone began to chat.

Fortunately, Chuan Shaoxi didn't talk about Buddhist Zen with everyone, but suddenly said: "listen to the news from Ueno, the owner of Nagano family, Nagano industry was dying last month."

Everyone was surprised when he said this. Nagano is a famous general of Ueno, known as Shangzhou macula.

Its most brilliant achievement was to repel the Takeda family's invasion of Ueno for a total of six times. This famous general, who made Takeda Xinxuan feel helpless, forced Takeda Xinxuan to face the city head of Jilun city and said with thousands of feelings, "there is a job in the process, and Shangzhou is not so easy to attack."

Now Nagano is dying, and his son is only 16 years old. It is the alternation of old and new power. Doesn't it mean that the Takeda family has a good opportunity to use troops against Ueno country.

Takeda Xinfeng suddenly asked, "so, will my Takeda family use troops against Shangzhou again?"

Fast Chuan Shaoxi smiled and did not answer Takeda Xinfeng's question directly, but said: "just a dozen days ago, the Lord just met the messenger of Beitiao family overnight."

Everyone knows this. The Beitiao family has been plotting against the Ueno country for a long time. I'll send an envoy to contact the Takeda family. I'll make an appointment to join the Ueno country and drive the forces of the ueshan family out of the Ueno country. For the purpose of attacking his arch enemy, Yoshinori uesuga, Takeda will not refuse nine times out of ten.

Raiding territory not only means the expansion of the territory of the Takeda family, but also means that if the family ministers perform well in the raiding war, they will have the opportunity to be granted a fief as the income of the generals. If you make great contributions, you will have more opportunities to become a city Lord.

Becoming the city Lord means stepping into the middle and high level of Takeda's family, which can exercise all the domination of the city, recruit soldiers independently, recruit warriors, and plunder the people under his rule. This is no different from the local earth emperor.

Li Xiao remembers that this strategy of the western field is the largest military use of the Takeda family in the next few years, and it is also the expansion of the territory. It's also the best chance for you to make achievements. Whether you can take a share and climb from an ordinary warrior to the city Lord depends on your performance.

Li Xiao saw that masata Changxing also showed the same look of longing in his eyes. ----------------------------------------------------------- Finally, 360 degrees for recommendation votes, and whether you can vote for me next week, I will try to update, thank you.
