This was also one of the important reasons why Kita Ikki and others planned the "February 26 Incident" and intended to kill all Japanese high-ranking officials except the emperor.

By the way, at this time, neither Toyama Mitsuru, who killed Kita Ikki, nor Fujiwara Kanezane, who beat Kita Ikki, realized how great an impact this man's death would have.

Someone who didn't know much about Kita Ikki and his thoughts, and didn't care whether he was dead or alive, so he didn't even ask a question;

One simply thought that Kita Ikki was just an ordinary scholar with great talent, and was not aware of his status among the grassroots officers in the army.

Don’t talk too much.

In short, when Koichi Saionji rushed to Reinan Sakamoto's residence, he was surprised to see Toyama Mitsuru, with a smile on his face, personally leading his younger brothers to see Fujiwara Kanezane and the other two out the door.

Both sides seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

"Mr. Toushan, please stay, please stay, don't see me off, don't see me off..."

"Kaneshi-kun, you really don't want to consider it?"

Amidst the mixed gazes of surprise and caution from the gang members, Toyama Mitsuru reiterated his invitation:

"Don't worry, all power in the Black Dragon Society is handed over to you. I will only serve as an advisor and will never interfere with any of your decisions."

"Toushan Gong, I'm not worried about this problem."

Fujiwara Kanezane said with an arrogant look on his face:

"I only trust the power I have built myself. I am impatient to fight with a group of elders. What I want is my absolute rule! Those who disobey me will all die!"

How could he possibly become the president of the Black Dragon Society?

Putting aside the evil and reactionary nature of this organization, and not even the national sentiment itself;

Playing what others have left behind?

He's not some cuckolded guy from nowhere.

“Hahahahahahahahaha….”

Despite being ruthlessly rejected by Fujiwara no Kanezane, and despite the guy's arrogance from beginning to end, Toyama Mitsuru became increasingly satisfied. He patted the guy's shoulder heavily and said earnestly:

"Then your path will be extremely difficult."

"The way of the warrior is not easy!"

"Well said! Then I wish you, Kanezane-kun, good luck in your military career! No matter what, I will issue an order. As long as you need it, all the members in China will fully support you."

"Thank you, Mr. Toushan..."

After saying goodbye to each other, Fujiwara no Kanezane returned to the confused Saionji Koichi and others and left quickly, but Toyama Mitsuru looked at his back for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, an old leader of the Genyosha finally couldn't help asking:

"Boss, if you do this, you will provoke a fight with Uchida. Then our Genyosha..."

If Fujiwara no Kanezane is publicly invited to become the leader of the Genyosha, where will the current Black Dragon Society president Uchida Ryohei be placed?

Isn't this openly encouraging internal division within the Genyosha?

"Hmph! If Uchida can't even understand my actions, then he'd better resign and go back home."

Toushan Man snorted coldly and turned away.

the other side.

"Hey??? I'm inviting you to be the president of Genyosha?"

"Ah."

Facing Saionji Koichi's shock, Fujiwara Kanezane said sarcastically:

"This old devil has bad intentions, and he thinks I can't see it, and treats me as a fool..."

"What are you talking about, Kanezane?"

"Nothing, let's go!"

"Where...where are we going?"

"Going home, of course."

Fujiwara Kanezane yawned:

"I need to take a break. I also need to pack up and go to China!"

"...I'm afraid that won't work."

"Ok?"

"His Majesty the Emperor invites you."

"..."

----

Damn, I'm so tired.

I've already traveled through time and space and become a decadent and backward aristocratic class, so why do I still work 996 every fucking day?

Qian Xiniang.

I've been here for over half a month, and I've only had sex with嵯娥浩 a ​​few times. The rest of the time I've either been recuperating, reading, or working! !

Grandma's legs...

Although he was full of complaints, Fujiwara no Kanezane still followed Saionji Koichirō obediently to the Emperor's study in the Imperial Palace.

Because he also wanted to see his nominal uncle, Emperor Hirohito, the biggest war criminal in Japan during World War II who did not receive proper punishment.

But to be honest, after watching it, he was disappointed again.

If it wasn't for the purpose of causing trouble, it would be better not to come. My appearance is even more disgusting than what you see in historical photos.

He was only about 1.6 meters tall, so the traditional Western-style dress would have been nice, but it looked a bit funny on Hirohito.

This guy had a small mustache, was extremely nearsighted, wore small round-framed glasses, had an obvious disability on his right hand, and had a protruding belly, revealing a somewhat vulgar and dull air.

There is no such thing as "royal style", "imperial aura" and "superior demeanor". It is even worse than the statues of Napoleon, Lincoln and Darwin in his study.

Compared with the tall and handsome Fujiwara no Kanezane, it seems like he was forced to take photos with Mai Paopao in history.

Fujiwara no Kanezane had no feelings for Hirohito, and Hirohito also did not like his "brother-in-law" very much.

On the one hand, there are "historical issues".

As the former "head of the imperial court" and now the "representative of the nobility", the Fujiwara clan once controlled Japanese politics for hundreds of years, deciding the emperor's selection and manipulating the appointment of officials;

Whether in Japan's original power system or among the Japanese people, the Fujiwara clan enjoyed very high prestige and influence.

Even though the other three Fujiwara families have declined and the Northern Family has long been just a name, the Japanese royal family always feels a little uncomfortable and always feels that it is a threat deep down in their hearts.

Moreover, there have always been rumors among the Japanese high-ranking officials that since Emperor Go-Hanazono, the emperor's descendants have actually been secretly replaced by the Fujiwara clan with their own bloodline;

Emperor Go-Hanazono's wife, Nobuko Fujiwara (also known as Nobuko Oemon), was the empress. According to convention, if she wanted to maintain "pure bloodline", Nobuko could only have children from her own family.

Legend has it that Her Highness Nobuko doted on her younger brother, whose name and deeds remain unknown, so...

Hiss...your circle is so messy.

If this is true, it means that after Emperor Go-Hanazono, the sons of Emperor Meiji, Emperor Taisho and the current Emperor Hirohito are actually all completely and thoroughly of the "Fujiwara bloodline."

However, rumors are just rumors after all. There is no actual record and they are not credible. No one believes them when they hear them.

Anyway, the relationship between the "nobles and aristocrats" like the Fujiwara clan and the imperial family has always been a mess since ancient times, and no one can figure it out.

If we study the family tree strictly, we might even come to the conclusion that "20-year-old Fujiwara no Kanezane is the ancestor of 30-year-old Emperor Hirohito."

Besides, after the Meiji Restoration, no force in Japan would allow the Fujiwara clan to control the selection of the emperor or become the emperor themselves!

I'm afraid of a hammer.

As long as the Fujiwara clan remains the same, no one will see them as a threat.

Therefore, the main reason why Hirohito and Fujiwara no Kanezane disliked each other was actually their natural incompatibility.

Hirohito was short and mean, while Fujiwara no Kanezane was handsome and tall;

Hirohito was frail and sickly, while Fujiwara no Kanezane was strong and healthy;

Hirohito was elegant and quiet (he couldn't help being quiet), while Fujiwara no Kanezane was brash and bold...

Perhaps because her father-in-law was in poor health, her husband was mentally ill, and her son was only in average health, Hirohito's mother, Empress Dowager Kujo Setsuko, was extremely fond of Fujiwara no Kanezane.

Whenever there was something good, the first thing she thought of was not her own son, but her "own son";

Last time, Fujiwara no Kanezane was beaten up by his father, and Kujo Setsuko shed tears. She immediately sent people to visit him and also called Fujiwara no Shinichi to the palace to give him a scolding.

This made Hirohito, as a son, a little unhappy. Fortunately, he was ten years older than Fujiwara no Kanezane, otherwise the conflict between the two sides would have only deepened.

Of course, no matter how many conflicts they have, they are now relatives who share weal and woe, and they will still support each other in major issues.

As usual, Hirohito's voice was very unpleasant. Both his voice and tone were quite sharp, making people feel extremely uncomfortable:

"What did Tou Shan Man want to see you for?"

"Nothing, he just asked me to come over and hoped that I could become the president of Genyosha."

"..."

Maybe he couldn't do anything else, but Hirohito was definitely an expert at political infighting. After just a moment's thought, he understood Toyama Mitsuru's plan:

"...He wants to join the royal family... No, he wants to provoke a fight between Parliament and the army?"

As we all know, regardless of the details, Japan can be roughly divided into four major forces:

The military faction, the royal faction, the parliamentary faction and the capitalist faction.

what did you say?

people?

What it is?

never heard of that.

"No, to be more precise, I think he's trying to please and bet on several parties. After all, according to the current trend, the military has the upper hand, and party politics is almost over."

Because Fujiwara no Kanezane's identity is too "special".

I tend to favor the Japanese military (especially the army), having extremely close relations with the imperial family (especially Empress Dowager Kujo Setsuko), and having close contacts with parliamentary political parties (especially the Saionji family).

If he had not been restricted for some special historical reasons, Fujiwara no Kanezane might have had some connection with the major domestic financial groups.

Toyama Mitsuru invited him to be the president of Genyosha. If it worked out, he would naturally have relationships with all these parties. If it didn't work out, he could still show goodwill.

As for the claim that "party politics is dying," anyone with a discerning eye can vaguely see the truth:

If a few more prime ministers or high-ranking officials die, the military will inevitably take power.

The "Japanese Party Cabinet" that has existed since the death of Aritomo Yamagata in 1923 until today would have been destroyed long ago if it were not for the hard work of Duke Saionji.

The military's influence was on the rise, and the "September 18th Incident" was a clear example of this, as it was launched and carried out despite opposition from Japan's top political leaders.

By the way, let me just say that the Japanese high-level officials opposed the invasion of Northeast China not because they were kind, but because they thought it was not the right time.

It's probably the difference between cutting up pork and cooking it slowly and eating it raw.

"Well, you're right."

Hirohito nodded slightly, then his eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrongly.

and many more!

Who made this analysis?

Fujiwara Kanezane? ?

That idiot whose brain is just muscles?

"You...who told you this?"

"It was myself, Your Majesty."

Seeing Hirohito's disbelief, Fujiwara Kanezane explained "sincerely":

"I feel deeply guilty about what I did a few years ago. I have to grow up and can't just keep living in this muddle-headed way."

"..."

Hirohito believed this statement easily.
