Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1780 Pure Emperor's Lineage

Speaking of the history of Japan, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous shogunate era.

For thousands of years, due to the fragmented geographical structure, the princes of the Japanese kingdom established separate regimes, and the powerful stole power, and the emperor became a puppet at the mercy of others...

However, what is little known is that before the advent of the shogunate era, Japan actually had a history of centralized power. At that time, the emperor really held the power, and the whole country was controlled by him.

There were many tribes in the early Wa Kingdom, and there was neither a unified civilization nor a unified country.However, in the [-]th century, the Yamato Kingdom gained the dominion of the Kansai Plain, wiped out all the tribes in this area, and became the most powerful tribe, began its expansion journey, and occupied it in the [-]th century. Most areas except Hokkaido.

During this period, "Emperor" became the title of the supreme ruler, which was not there before.

And the king of Yamato country is also the predecessor of the emperor, and Yamato country is also the source of Japan's country and nation...

Of course, this so-called occupation is not the unified centralization of power after the Qin and Han Dynasties in China. It is probably like the eight hundred princes in the Zhou Dynasty. Except for the core area of ​​Kansai, other parts of the land were entrusted to the royal family and nobles. , although they surrendered to the emperor, they all retained almost absolute autonomy internally.

A county is a country, a town is a country...

There are so many closed countries everywhere, no one knows how many there are.

The country of Yue is one of the countless feudal countries, and its geographical location is roughly equivalent to that of Niigata in later generations...

The current Emperor of Japan is Emperor Huangji, the wife of the previous Emperor Shumei...

Fang Jun stared and said, "Empress?"

He really didn't know that there was such a thing as a female emperor in the history of Japan.

In fact, not only have there been, but there have been seven or eight...

Ji Shiju said: "Just last year, Emperor Shuming passed away. Because his sons, Prince Hairen, Prince Katsuragi, and Prince Shanbei, the son of Emperor Shuming's eldest brother, Prince Shotoku, competed for the throne. In order to avoid civil strife, the Minister of Internal Affairs Suga Rulu then decided to fully support Empress Bao's ascension to the throne, since she is Emperor Huangji."

Fang Jun said: "This female emperor can seize the emperor's position in such a dangerous environment, she must be a hero among women who do not give up to men."

Husband died, wife ascended the throne, this is similar to Wu Zetian, she has no ability, no matter whether it is in the Tang Dynasty or in the Wa Kingdom, it is impossible to take the throne...

Jin Famin shook his head, and said with disdain: "I also went to Bangai Palace with my father to meet Emperor Huangji last year to celebrate his enthronement ceremony. I haven't seen much of the so-called wisdom and strategy in this Emperor. , it is true that they are extremely glamorous and coquettish, otherwise, how could the Su Wo father and son, who are so powerful in the government and the public, be able to help them with all their strength?"

But Ji Shiju said: "Emperor Huangji is unparalleled in beauty. This is a fact. It is also true that she had an affair with Suga and his son, but Suga and his son supported her not because they were confused by her beauty. It was because Soga, the son of Eizo, and the Minister of Internal Affairs, Soga, who wanted to make Emperor Shumei's other son Guren Daxie the emperor, assassinated Prince Shotoku's son, Prince Yamabe, which aroused the opposition of all countries in the world and had to avoid the edge for a while. , push Emperor Huangji out to block the limelight."

Fang Jun didn't quite understand: "Brother Gu Ren is also the son of Emperor Shu Ming?"

Ji Shiku explained: "Yes, but unlike Prince Kairen and Prince Katsuragi whose mother is Emperor Kogoku, the mother of the eldest brother of the ancients is the daughter of Soga Mako, the younger sister of Soga Ezo, and the aunt of Soga Iruka ..."

Fang Jun suddenly said: "Isn't this a foreign relative?"

Everyone nodded.

The Suga family is the top aristocrat of the Wa Kingdom, who holds a large amount of fertile land and private soldiers of the tribe, supports the prince or princess who has a deep blood relationship with him, and establishes him as the emperor. This is a consistent style of conduct. The first political situation in which foreign relatives are monopolized...

It is no exaggeration to say that power overwhelms the world.

Ji Shiju said: "Now the Japanese court is in turmoil. Suga Rulu and his son support the elder brother of the ancients. The father of the ancient elder brother is Emperor Shumei, and his mother is the younger sister of Soga Ezo and the aunt of Soga Rulu. Emperor Huangji At first, she married Gao Xiangwang, and later married Emperor Shuming, and gave birth to Prince Katsuragi and Prince Hairen. The power in the royal family should not be underestimated. It is no secret that Prince Katsuragi coveted the throne of the emperor. This person is decisive and ruthless. He is cunning and wise, and has always been against Su Wo."

Fang Junqi said: "This Emperor Huangji is not a simple puppet?"

He thought that the empress was just a puppet caught between the Soga family and Prince Katsuragi, but he never thought that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp...

Ji Shiju smiled and said: "How is it possible? The grandfather of Emperor Huangji is the eldest son of Emperor Minda's eldest son Hikoto Oshisaka, and the eldest brother of Hitoshi Osaka is the father of Emperor Shu Ming, uncle of King Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang The king is the son of Emperor Yongming... Therefore, Emperor Huangji is the direct line of the emperor, and there are countless supporters, otherwise, how can we get the unanimous approval of the Soga clan and Prince Katsuragi to become the emperor?"

"..."

Fang Jun's mind was a little confused, and he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute...you mean that Emperor Huangji first married her cousin, and then married her own uncle?"

Ji Shiju said: "It's not my uncle, it's my uncle."

What is "Uncle Cong"?
It's just a half-brother with his father...

Marriage between close relatives has existed since ancient times. "Uncle, kiss, break the bones and connect the tendons", it has been the norm for cousins ​​to marry since ancient times, but "no marriage with the same surname" is also an iron rule, only cousins ​​who marry, whoever sees cousins married?

That is to be beaten to death and soaked in a pig cage...

Jin Famin said from the side: "My Silla has been influenced by Han culture for generations, so I insist on not marrying with the same surname like the Han people, but the Japanese country lives overseas and refuses to be educated. They didn't even have their own writing before, just like a savage who drinks blood. How do you know about etiquette, righteousness and shame? The so-called inheritance of the emperor values ​​bloodlines the most. They believe that the closer people of blood get married, the purer the blood of the children they give birth to. Brothers marry younger sisters, fathers marry daughters, and even granddaughters marry grandpas. Yes, no surprise."

Jin Famin and Ji Shiju disagreed, but Fang Jun was amazed.

He and Su Dingfang beside him looked at each other, and found that the other's eyeballs were round...

What the hell is keeping the bloodline pure?
This bitch is **!
It’s no wonder that in the later generations of the island country, no matter what, foster fathers and the like are popular. It turns out that this has a tradition...

*****
Several people discussed, after lunch, Ji Shiju stayed with Fang Jun by himself, sent his entourage away, and took a warship with him, which was full of soldiers and armor, although it was all eliminated by the Tang army The old and worn-out equipment, but for the Ainu people who don't even know how to smelt iron, it is like an ancient magic weapon.

Back and forth several times to support weapons, the Ainu people's current equipment has already been changed from shotgun to cannon. Not only are they not at all inferior to the Japanese, they are even better equipped.

After all, the Wa country in this period is far inferior to that of the Warring States period in the Central Plains...

After resting for a while, Fang Jun, Su Dingfang, Wang Xuance, Jin Famin, Ji Shiju, Zhang Zhide and others inspected Sado Island.

Fang Jun rode his horse and looked at the high mountains on the north and south sides, and his heart burst with pride.

This is Sado Island, this is a gold and silver mountain, a cornucopia that was mined by Japanese people for hundreds of years and thousands of years!
For a moment, he even wanted to occupy the island and become the king. With the wealth of this island, it is not a problem at all to be rich in the world.

We are also people who have mines at home...

Of course, it’s just thinking about it. Without a powerful Tang Dynasty as the backing, such a small island can’t be defended at all, unless the army is killed on the island of Honshu, all the territory of the Japanese country is occupied, and the Japanese come to exterminate their race. Only then can there be no worries.

But he can't do this task, Tang Jun can't do it, it has to be done by the Aizu people...

Still the same sentence, if the name is not correct, the words will not ring true.

He could create an excuse to enslave and kill Han Chinese merchants after they were robbed, and brazenly captured Sado Island, but he couldn't blatantly kill Honshu Island.In this era, the Japanese and Han people did not have as much hatred as the later generations. The Japanese could rush to the mainland to burn, kill and loot without any restraint, causing the death of hundreds of millions of people, but the Tang people could not do this.

Datang's goals are even more ambitious, and his ideals are broader. It is impossible to bear the reputation of indiscriminate killing of innocent people, brutality and tyranny for the mere size of the country.

However, it is not difficult to control the country of Wa, just like in the country of Linyi, you can support a force as a puppet and turn the country upside down. If you can easily wipe out the emperor's clan known as the "Eternal Line", that would be perfect ...
