Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 564 Entering the Peace Palace (please subscribe!)

...

Not a short distance away from the city gate, Li Yan saw Japanese kneeling densely on the ground.

Yao Xing said: "They are here to welcome you. The leader, Fujiwara Tadatsu, is the regent of Emperor Sutoku (equivalent to the prime minister). It is he who later ordered to give up resistance, so we can successfully take Heian-kyo."

Li Yan looked around and asked, "Where is Emperor Chongde?"

Yao Xing said: "He greets you, Your Majesty, in front of the palace gate."

Li Yan's face sank, and he asked, "Whose idea is this?"

Yao Xing said: "It is the insistence of the Japanese ministers and nobles."

Li Yan smiled coldly and said, "These Japanese officials and nobles may not have understood the current situation."

At this moment, Sakabe, the adoptive father of Yuzao, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."

Li Yan nodded to Sakabe and said, "Stand by my side."

When Sakabe heard the words, he immediately responded: "No!", then straightened his bent waist and stood beside Li Yan.

Ruan Xiaoqi had someone give Banbu a horse, and Banbu turned over and rode on, and followed Li Yan to the right rear.

Li Yan rode up to Fujiwara Chumichi and looked down at Fujiwara Chumichi.

Seeing this, Fujiwara Tadatsu lowered his lowered head even lower and raised his butt that was already high, and said in very blunt Chinese: "The guilty minister Fujiwara Tadatsu has seen your lord."

Li Yan looked at Fujiwara Chumichi and asked, "Do you understand Chinese?"

Fujiwara Tadamichi replied: "I know a little bit."

Li Yan listened, smiled, and said: "You are not humble."

Fujiwara Tadaichi: "The guilty minister dare not lie in front of you, Your Majesty."

Itabe whispered: "Although Fujiwara Tadamichi is the regent, he doesn't have much real power. The real power is the Fujiwara family. He is just a puppet."

The Fujiwara clan existed as early as the Asuka era. When Fujiwara Ryobo came, his relatives served as regents, and controlled the government for a long time in the name of regent or Guanbai. It is a tradition for Guan Bai to be appointed by a descendant of the Northern family.After the Taoist chief came to power, the Fujiwara clan reached its peak.During this period, the Fujiwara family's relatives were involved in politics and did whatever they wanted. Two queens stood side by side, four daughters and three concubines.The concubine was established in the East Palace, and the young emperor often lived in his home.The positions of Regent, Guanbai, Taizheng Minister, and Left and Right Ministers were monopolized by the Fujiwara clan, forming a special political system of Regent.

This family can be said to be the No. [-] family in Japan. I am afraid that even the people in it can't figure out how deep the water of the family is.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with what Itababe said.

but--

Fujiwara Chumichi still has some political capital. The Nakamiya of Emperor Toba (although the name of the Nakamiya is different from that of the empress, but since the 66th generation of the Queen, they are all regarded as quasi-empress or equivalent to the empress). Fujiwara Shoko is the sister of Fujiwara Tadamichi .

Moreover, it is said that Atsuko Fujiwara is having an affair with Emperor Shirakawa.

In addition, the previous regent Guanbai and Taizheng Minister Fujiwara Tadada was also the father of Fujiwara Tadamichi.

Li Yan looked at Fujiwara Chumichi and said: "Since you took the initiative to open the city and surrender, I have saved a lot of losses for the Liangshan Army. You don't have to go to the public trial. In addition, if you are willing to work for me, I will let you continue to enjoy the glory Wealthy."

Fujiwara Tadamichi didn't really understand what it means to go to the public trial, but he keenly felt that this should be a very important thing, a very important and good thing. In addition, Japan has become history, and he who doesn't want to lose power, wants to If he continues to have power, he will definitely join Shuibo Liangshan, so he immediately said: "I am willing to smash myself to pieces for the king!"

Li Yan nodded, then rode his horse and continued walking towards the city.

When passing by a few Japanese people who were kneeling in the front with extraordinary bearing, Fujiwara Tadamichi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, these are from our Fujiwara clan..."

Although these people would tremble three times when they stomped their feet before, Li Yan didn't stop for them at all.

This made the hearts of these Japanese nobles sink, and these cunning guys like ghost foxes all thought at the same time: "It's bad, he doesn't need the help of us aristocratic families to govern Japan!"

These old guys continued to try their best to show their obedience, and at the same time began to figure out how to deal with it.

The shape and layout of the city of Ping'anjing imitate the capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty in China, especially the imitation of Chang'an City. The number is similar to that of Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. The central axis, Suzaku Avenue, divides Ping'an-kyo into two parts, Zuojing and Youjing (the east side is Zuojing, and the west side is Youjing). Youjing is called Chang'an, and Zuojing is called Luoyang. .

Because the area where Ukyo is located is swampy, it gradually became deserted, and the main development of the city was concentrated in Sakyo.

Along the way, Li Yan found that most of the houses in the city were built on the slopes of the basin, and the streets undulated up and down. The Koya River and the Kamo River converged in the urban area to form the Kamo River, which flows south into the Katsura River, and finally merges with the Yodo River, which flows into the Osaka Bay. Looking at it, the green mountains and green waters complement each other. The temples, ancient temples, and imperial palaces and imperial gardens are distributed on both sides of the undulating streets. They are scattered and orderly, luxurious and elegant, and it is indeed a good place.

The Miyagi (Ping An Palace) in Ping'an Jing is located in the center of the northern part of the capital, which is equivalent to the combination of the Miyagi and the Imperial City of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty, while the inner wrapping and Daji Hall in the Miyagi are equivalent to the Miyagi (Taiji Palace) and Tai Chi Hall.

When he came to the palace gate, Li Yan saw a large group of people kneeling in front of the palace gate, and the leader was a four or five-year-old child. Needless to say, he must be the Japanese Emperor Sutoku.

Seeing Li Yan's arrival, Yang Yizhong immediately greeted him and said, "Your Majesty."

Li Yanchong Yang Yizhong said: "You handled it well." Then he looked at Emperor Chongde and others and said: "The only problem is that these people were not allowed to go outside the city to meet me."

Yang Yi was stunned in the center!
The reason why Yang Yizhong did not insist on letting Emperor Chongde and other Japanese officials and nobles go outside the city to meet Li Yan was because he did not want to cause extra trouble. After all, he only brought more than 1 horses, while Ping'an Jingzhong has a population of more than 100 million.

Li Yan knew what Yang Yizhong was thinking, but he still said: "These people are all prisoners of the ranks, and they are all fish and meat at our disposal, so there is no need to be polite to them."——Li Yan is releasing My own political attitude towards Japan will prevent people below from doing wrong things because they don’t know my political attitude towards Japan, leaving hidden dangers that are difficult to remove for the future.

The biggest advantage of Yang Yizhong is that he doesn't ask right or wrong, he only obeys orders, and he doesn't talk back, he said: "I know I'm wrong."

Li Yan nodded to Yang Yizhong, and then walked towards the Peace Palace.

When passing Emperor Chongde and the Japanese nobles, Li Yan didn't even look at them.

Why?

Have you ever seen wasting time on a bunch of dead people?
