Chapter 2058: Chapter 1503: Amitabha, This Is the Inconceivability of Buddhist Law! (Part 2)
"As for later, once you produce an heir to the Shiba Clan bloodline, establish a city mansion, and give me an extra share of ’Fate’... then, given the standing of the Shiba Clan, the position of Ezo Governor might not be difficult to maneuver! And once you become Ezo Governor, you can legitimately absorb the Kaozaki Family as vassals. Other than the neighboring Anton Family and the Nanbu clan, no one will care, and even fewer will bother..."
After this plot was laid out, Master Juehui was both proud and emotional. A compassionate and solemn expression appeared on his face as he leisurely recited.
"To achieve this conferring of title, one must have a keen understanding of the workings of the shogunate. Also, one must have enough influence over the nobles involved... Therefore, apart from our Tiantai Sect, apart from a few Monk Masters, no one else has this ability! You know? They don’t have the means, without my ’pointing’ people’s hearts with Buddhist Law, they cannot accomplish this feat of using a small amount of force to achieve great effects!..."
"Amitabha! This is the inconceivable nature of Buddhist Law!..."
"The nature of reality is emptiness, a single thought arises from causes, a single thought vanishes with causes. Once this good karma is facilitated, then my ’Fate’ with you all will also turn bad into good, and increasingly better! Good! Good!... In the future, if you good friends are in need, what Mori no Kiyoshi can accomplish, this old monk can actually accomplish as well. However, the good karma that this old monk can realize, is beyond his capacity! All that’s needed, is a bit of sincerity..."
"...?!..."
The Great Monk’s ’inconceivable Buddhist Law’ left those from the Kingdom looking at each other, somewhat bewildered. Ryuzoji Temple Jia Hong was highly alert; as a Martial Family, he feared this kind of ruthless method of devouring a lineage the most. Meanwhile, Chief of Harman Ali’s eyes flickered, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh in realization!
"Marvelous! Truly marvelous! This Great Monk’s abilities seem comparable to those of the garrison eunuchs!..."
"Ali? You understand? Can this really be done?..."
"It can be done, Lord Priest! This matter, to speak plainly, is actually quite simple. This Great Monk intends to deceive both superiors and inferiors, deceiving multiple parties! Once he’s done deceiving above, he’ll deceive below, and once he’s finished deceiving the victim, he’ll deceive the Main Family. As long as the procedures are followed and the ’conferring of title’ becomes an official political decision above, then regardless of whether it’s a General or the Tiantai Sect, or the nobles in between, they have all provided credibility and guarantees. Finally, even if news of the ’Shandan Tribe’ escapes, no one will be able to regret it. They’ll just blindly suppress it, and openly acknowledge us! This is actually aligned with the operations of garrison eunuchs in various places, indistinguishable and identical..."
"...? Ali, explain in more detail!"
"Chief Divine bless! Great Emperor above! To make an inappropriate analogy, this is somewhat akin to a fallen Royal Family Princess getting married. This Shiba Marquis is like the Princess from the Royal Family getting married. The Shogunate General is the indifferent Emperor, and the Tiantai Sect monk is the Chief Eunuch, who received bribes, responsible for proposing the marriage. While the nobles in between are the officials at various levels handling it..."
"The Chief Eunuchs come to propose marriage, telling the Emperor that the Royal Family Princess will marry in the southwest, to the affluent Chengdu Tianfu. The middle-handling officials know she’s to be married to Sichuan Province, perhaps a bit toward the west. And each level of eunuchs from top to bottom, some know a little, some know half of it, but no one will open their mouth. As for when asked afterwards, they will inevitably know nothing at all! As for the Princess in the Royal Family, the Chief Eunuchs will deceive her, telling her she’s to marry a handsome and wealthy Scholar!..."
"Soon, the Royal Family’s procedures are completed. The Great Emperor takes a glance and approves with a nod. Thus the Princess embarks on her journey, reaching Sichuan Province, where she encounters a respectable welcoming party, still delighted in her heart! Resulting in the party not heading to Chengdu Tianfu but continually going west in Sichuan, eventually getting onto the Highland and arriving at Wusi Tibetan! And when the Princess lifts her veil and opens her eyes to look, she discovers a burly Wusi Tibetan man who can’t even speak the official language!..."
"But by this time, where would she have a chance to regret? Stuck in Wusi Tibetan, she can’t even utter a sound! Later she marries, consummates her marriage, and has children, she becomes unable to return completely, resigning herself to fate. Even if news escapes during the process, no one would stand up for a fallen Royal Family Princess and host justice! For the sake of face and for her own future, even if she meets the Chief Eunuchs who proposed marriage, she can only express full gratitude, saying ’Thank you, Chief Eunuchs for arranging, the Chengdu Tianfu husband is great!’ and desperately strive to keep up appearances!..."
"...!!"
Upon hearing this remarkable analogy, Zuwaro and Loshanda exchanged glances, at a loss for words. The political tactics of these Southern Great Tribes Alliances are just too complex and strange, making them difficult to grasp.
"Hmm?!..."
But Master Juehui, after hearing the translation, revealed surprise. Among these simple-minded Shandan Chiefs, there are those who possess such profound Buddhist Law comprehension? Judging by the face of this Barbarian Child, it doesn’t seem so?
"Amitabha! What this good believer says is correct! Indeed, straight to the point, possessing profound wisdom!"
Master Juehui nodded with a smile, his compassionate visage moved even the Buddha to tears. He truly does deceive multiple parties, cheats the shogunate, the sect, the two children of the Shiba Clan, the vassals of the Shiba Clan. He actually also deceives the Shandan People, by greatly lauding the Shiba Clan to sell at a high price.
And incidentally, he intends to deceive the Kaozaki Family as well, harshly striking them! Who told the Kaozaki Family to secretly tip off the Shandan People, causing him to suffer a major defeat? Watch me sell your Ezo land declaration... In total, isn’t this just six parties deceived? Easily done!
