1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

“Yes, what do you think?”

"Well, Your Majesty, with all due respect, I have no interest in the throne of the Emperor." Putting aside the question of whether he was interested or not, Fujiwara no Kanezane was not stupid;

Is he the biggest beneficiary of becoming the "Crown Prince" and obtaining the first-in-line right to the throne?

wrong!

It was Hirohito himself!

With the "Crown Prince" as the legitimate heir to the throne, the pressure that Hirohito needs to face - the pressure of consolidating the throne - will disappear instantly!

After all, I have a "son" now, and my subjects all have their next "legal object of loyalty," and it's the "Hachimangu Kanezane-sama" who everyone is very optimistic about and has performed very well recently!

The hearts of most people will immediately calm down, and they will no longer engage in despicable intrigues and collusion in secret, and seek to find a credible object of loyalty.

At the same time, all the open and covert attacks will be directed at the heir, Fujiwara no Kanezane, and His Majesty the Emperor can stay out of it and watch them fight endlessly!

Who do you think benefits the most?

Therefore, for an emperor whose throne is unstable because he has no children, establishing an heir is actually a means to consolidate his own power.

Besides, does becoming the Crown Prince necessarily mean he can become the Emperor?

Not to mention the thousands of years of historical records in China, the various intrigues and schemes in Japan's "North and South Dynasty Imperial Succession Incident" have already made the truth clear.

It would have been fine if Hirohito hadn't had a son. Once he had a son, Hirohito would have definitely wanted his son to succeed him, and he, the crown prince, would have died immediately.

Even if Hirohito did not kill him, people around Hirohito would advocate killing the former "Crown Prince" so that the next emperor could succeed to the throne smoothly.

Of course, that's assuming they can do it.

In short, when Fujiwara no Kanezane said, "I'm not interested in your ass," the inquiry in Hirohito's eyes completely froze.

? ? ?

Are you kidding me? ? ?

Although I did mean to test you, you actually said you have no interest in the throne?!

Are you fucking kidding me! This is the throne! It's the throne!

Not some cheap thing!

Hirohito had imagined various reactions from Fujiwara no Kanezane after hearing his proposal:

Whether it was ecstasy, fear or feigned rejection, he had thought about it;

The only thing I didn't expect was that the other party's attitude was so indifferent.

Most importantly, Hirohito could sense that Fujiwara no Kanezane really had no interest at all;

In other words, the other party doesn't want to be the "Crown Prince" at all! Why... why is this?

Hirohito originally didn't believe that there would be someone in this world who had no interest in such a rare treasure as the throne, but today he actually saw one!

Although this proposal itself was meant to test Fujiwara no Kanezane's ambition, Hirohito couldn't help but feel a little angry when he was rejected without hesitation.

How should I put it? It's like wanting to give someone something they consider "everything," only to be laughed at and thrown aside as "nothing." No wonder Hirohito was upset:

"Why, Kanezane? Wouldn't it be nice to be the emperor?"

“Of course it’s not good!” “…Huh?”

"Seeing you worry so much as His Majesty the Emperor makes me feel so tired. It would be better for you to be an idle prince."

"Look, occasionally giving advice, doing some work, eating world-famous delicacies, playing with beautiful women, and admiring the mountains and rivers is much more enjoyable than being an emperor. Hey, Your Majesty, let me tell you, American girls are real..."

After driving Fujiwara no Kanezane out of the Imperial Palace in a "rage", Hirohito couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he thought of the scene just now.

Although he is lazy, he is such a sincere, loyal, and lovable minister...

Then think about those traitors like Yongren! Humph!

It seems that it is time to clean up Tokyo!

Just when His Majesty the Emperor was thinking about how to deal with the traitor, the "sincere, loyal, honest and lovely" minister had already hurried back to a residence somewhere in Tokyo.

"Old bitch! Old bitch! I know you are here! Open the door! Open the door! You have the guts to destroy it! You have the guts to open the door!"

"Crack! Boom!!"

It was a little after three o'clock when Fujiwara Shinichi, who was drinking tea, was startled by the noise. His precious celadon tea bowl fell to the ground and shattered, and he himself was burned by the tea.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw Fujiwara no Kanezane rushing in and the butler of the Fujiwara no Kita family who had once shattered the solid wood floor with one punch and looked "unremarkable" behind him. He stammered, "What's the matter with you?"

"What are you...what are you doing? Put down your words first..." "Oh...Agent, put your things down first." "Yes, Master."

The agent threw the heavy steel door that had just been removed onto the floor, creating a large hole, which made Fujiwara Shinichi's eyebrows jump.

Fujiwara no Kanezane sat on his futon with his arms folded, looking at his nominal father, and said straight to the point:

"Old bitch, Hirohito seems to have been poisoned, is it you who did it?"

Hearing this topic, Fujiwara Shin, who had been a little flustered, calmed down. He subconsciously wanted to pick up the teacup, but found that he had nothing to hold. He could only cough lightly and said leisurely:

"You discovered it so early? I thought it would be later..." "Oh, I discovered it. The agent confirmed it. I told him." "Pfft cough cough cough cough cough..."

Fujiwara Shinichi nearly choked to death on his own saliva. After coming to his senses, he stared resentfully at his son, who was becoming less and less like him and increasingly disobedient. He felt that all his efforts had been in vain.

"Why should you tell him? Didn't you say last time that you wanted to be the emperor?" "Ah? Are you serious?"

"Hmm? Hmm????" Are you fucking kidding me?!

Seeing that Fujiwara Arata was about to explode in anger, Fujiwara Kanezane curled his lips:

"Let me tell you something. Just now, Hirohito said that he wanted me to be the crown prince and inherit the throne after his death."

"What? ?? "

Fujiwara Shinichi almost jumped up, but was suppressed by another sentence: "But I refused."

"What! ! !"

This sudden shock almost gave Fujiwara Arata a heart attack, and he became increasingly unable to understand Fujiwara Kanezane's choice:

"Why refuse? Isn't this a great opportunity?! We don't even need to do anything!"

"You don't understand politics, yet you're doing this kind of thing... The throne is just something within easy reach, I wouldn't even bother to take it even if you gave it to me!"

Fujiwara Kanezane said disdainfully:

"Even if I really want to be the emperor, do I need his consent and approval? He's just an emperor. He can be killed at any time! He can seize the throne at any time! Why do you have to resort to such despicable means? Stupid!"

"Hand over the people who poisoned Hirohito! If you do something stupid like this again, I will kill you all... and let you die early!"

Fujiwara Shinichi looked at his son with unfamiliar eyes, and his heart was shocked. This... is this the son I gave birth to?

Surprisingly... Surprisingly...

Such a broad mind??

Yes, even when his son threatened him, "If you do it again, I will kill your whole family," Fujiwara Shinichi's first reaction was not anger at his disobedience, but shock at his magnanimity.

I used to think that my Fujiwara clan, once above the imperial family, now hides behind the national power and does not seek to be powerful, which is a rare peak.

Who would have thought that among the descendants of the Fujiwara clan, there would emerge a strong man who disdained the Emperor, the supreme throne, and the overwhelming power?

This this...

My ancestors probably couldn't do it either!

"Did you hear me? Hand those people over! If you don't understand politics, don't mess around! Otherwise, I'll strip you of your last bit of power!"

Fujiwara no Kanezane was very rude, but Fujiwara no Shinichi was not angry, he just became more dazed.

Ha... I'm still so young, am I going to hand over power completely? Really... What's that ancient Chinese poem saying?

Jiangshan has talented people on behalf of the people, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.

It seems that my son is indeed that talented person, and the best one!

The old father felt both relieved and sad.

I'm happy with my son's excellence, but sad about my own incompetence. However, I've been doing this since I was a kid, and I'm used to it. "Hey! Do you hear me?..."

“No poison.”

"Um?"

"I know what you're worried about, but I really didn't send anyone to poison you. I'm not stupid enough to let anyone find fault with me."

Fujiwara Shinichi shook his head and said:

"It's just that based on Hirohito's physical condition, they pushed some people to add some harmless substances to their food and water, but when combined, they would cause the medicinal properties to conflict. It only works on Hirohito himself. No one would know because they are several layers away."

Seeing his commander's gaze sweeping over, the agent nodded and said:

"Such a thing does exist. There are historical records of people who poisoned others without even knowing they were doing so. Everyone else at the table was fine, but only one person was poisoned. Or someone was fine before but became poisoned after smelling a certain aroma."

"Oh... so, the imperial physicians, eunuchs, palace maids, and guards around Hirohito are all your people?"

"Not really. It's just that the servants of the branch family have some connections with some of them. They can't possibly know me."

“…I see…”

My mother, even if they are Japanese, a large family with thousands of years of history still has some heritage.

Although this kind of shitty background was used to fight for power and engage in conspiracy and intrigue. "Besides this Hirohito thing, have you done anything else?" "I..."

Fujiwara Arata honestly confessed how he colluded with the nobles, how he spread true and false news, and how he damaged the reputation of Hirohito and the imperial family.

Good boy, it turns out that you are the one who brought the Imperial Army...

Fujiwara no Kanezane thought for a while and decided that he couldn't let Fujiwara no Shinichi do whatever he wanted and cause a fire in the harem, so he gave the order in a commanding tone:

"Hand all your men over to the agent. Everything ends here. Just be the head of your family and don't mess up my plans. I'm not interested in cleaning up the mess for you. Do you understand?"

"I understand..." "Okay."

As he was about to leave, Fujiwara no Kanezane was stopped by Fujiwara no Shin-chan: "Kanezane, can you tell me, you don't even care about the emperor, what do you want to do?"

"...What do you want to do?"

Fujiwara Kanezane paused, then suddenly turned around and gave a devilish smile: "I just miss two lines of poetry!"

306 Japan can only have one Supreme!

1932 was an eventful year.

Whether it is for China, Japan, or the United States, Japan is the worst.

After experiencing a series of major events such as the "Manchurian Rebellion", "Shanghai Assassination", "Korean Unrest", and "Emperor's Coma", Tokyo's aristocratic and political circles were once again shaken.

Because, three pieces of news came out from the Tokyo Imperial Palace:

1. His Majesty the Emperor suddenly and without warning issued an imperial decree, ordering His Royal Highness Prince Chichibu Yoshihito to travel around Europe for five years to study, inspect, and complete a series of tasks. He was not allowed to return to Japan without permission.

In theory, it sounded very lofty, saying that this was "the effort and sacrifice that the imperial family had to make for the prosperity of the empire" and that this was to "establish good relations with Germany" and so on;

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Emperor wanted to get rid of his brother. As for what he would do after getting rid of him, that could only be explained by the "unfathomable power of God."

Perhaps, His Highness Yongren's lively and energetic appearance is an unforgivable sin for the childless Emperor!

Faced with Hirohito's request, could Yongren refuse? No, absolutely not.

First, this was a matter of national interest. If he refused, Hirohito could at any time deprive him of his princely title and imprison him on the grounds that he was "unworthy of being a role model of the imperial family."

Secondly, if Yongren doesn't agree, the image he has been working hard to create of "caring for the grassroots" and "a sports royalty who exemplifies royalty" will collapse. What future can he even talk about?

Why not pretend to be sick?

Brother, you are the "Sports Prince" or the "Majestic Prince"?

Haven't you always been proud of your strong body, and always mocked your brother, the Emperor, who has been frail and sickly since childhood?

Now, you're sick when I tell you to go abroad and serve your country? Who are you trying to fool?

Therefore, Yongren not only had to go, but also had to go as soon as possible, and he had to act as if "the country has called us and we are ecstatic and have no choice but to go."

So, on the third day after the imperial edict was issued, His Royal Highness Prince Chichibu Yasuhito went to the palace, and then reluctantly boarded the ocean liner with some of his entourage.

Yongren didn't know that Hirohito was poisoned, nor was he the culprit of the poisoning, but as soon as he left Japan, Hirohito's health improved a lot;

Now, the yellow mud fell into my crotch, which is shit if not shit.

The identity of Yongren as the poisoner was completely confirmed, making Hirohito hate him to the core.

This is something.
