20. Himiko

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have been the one who expelled the youkai from Heiankyo back then! Kamo Tadayuki! ”

After the attendants called Kamo Tadayuki and Minamoto Yorimitsu to the Imperial Palace, the impatient Emperor, who had been waiting for a long time, began to ask Kamo Tadayuki sharply. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And it was Kamo Tadashi who drove the monsters out of Heiankyo at the beginning, and at this time, the monsters returned again, and if the emperor didn't look for him, who should be responsible?

And after hearing the emperor's reprimand, Naga Shige Tadayuki couldn't help but have no repentant face at all, but still looked confident.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, that youkai is not a sign that the youkai are about to return to Heiankyo. That youkai just went the wrong way. ”

Well! It's a very cheating statement!

It's like a fierce terror? The terrorists come to your house and walk around before leaving.

The community security guard in charge of security said that it was just that he accidentally went the wrong way and had nothing to do with him.

"Are you fooling me!!"

The emperor roared.

But at this time, Yuan Laiguang, who was beside He Mao Zhongxing, spoke.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, can you prove that Kamo-sama is not lying."

"Say!"

"It's very simple, just because the demon mist that came yesterday didn't cause harm to Heiankyo at all!

Your Majesty is in charge of the security of Heiankyo when there is no war, and you know. In the past, there were accidents in Heiankyo almost every night.

or a monster kills people, or captives. It wasn't until Lord Kamo expelled him that Heiankyo had a glimmer of peace.

If the expelled youkai were to return to Heiankyo, the people in Heiankyo would have suffered heavy casualties last night!

Because only then can they announce to the world that they are back! They're going to take Heiankyo back!

The world will only know that they are about to return.

But there wasn't any monster killing accident last night! The only fatal incident was when an alcoholic drank too much and fell into a well and drowned!

With this, it can be proved that Kamo-sama did not say the wrong thing! ”

After listening to his general's words, the emperor's face finally relaxed a little. Then he spoke.

"These days, pay attention to whether there is a presence of yokai activity in the vicinity of Heiankyo. Gather all the onmyoji who are wandering around to slay demons!

First, to protect Heiankyo.

Second, the monk who was in charge of the pick-up and drop-off was almost in Heianjing! No more mistakes! Let's go down. ”

"Yes"*2.

"My lord, where are we going next? Or is it the same as before, walking around? ”

In mid-air, Yakumo Zhen, who was flying around with Yakumo Temple, asked.

After cracking a trace of yin-yang art, Yakumoji and Yakumo Zhen marched inland again.

It can be marched, but Yakumoji has never said to Yakumo Zhen where is this trip going? Therefore, Yakumo Zhen couldn't help but ask about Yakumo Temple.

As for Yakumozhen's doubts, Yakumo Temple has only one sentence.

"Go to Heiankyo! Heiankyo is the capital of Japan, and I'm going to talk to the emperor of Japan. ”

After saying that, Yakumoji closed his mouth again and continued to fly inland.

Yakumoji is looking for the Emperor of Japan, in fact, for the Yin and Yang Technique, and there is a person who has long since died!

It is a yin-yang technique, in order to find out the source of yin-yang technique.

And the person who has long since died is called 'Himiko'.

Himiko (c. 159 – c. 247, some history books also refer to him as "Bamiko") was the queen of the Yamadai Kingdom during the Yayoi period of Japan.

In "Three Kingdoms? Wei Shu? There is a record of her in the "Legend of the Wajin". There have been many theories about her true identity, and she is a very mysterious ancient female ruler. It is also the originator of the ancient Japanese religion of oni-doism.

In addition, according to historical inference, this Himiko has six mysterious identities.

One of them is Anameasu in Japan!

According to astronomical calculations, two solar eclipses were observed in the Kitakyushu region on March 24, 247 and September 5, 248, around the time of Himiko's death.

This statement is consistent with the Japanese mythological record that the god Amaterasu hid in the Teniwado and the world was devoid of light.

In addition, by statistically using the average reign of the emperor, it is also possible to calculate the overlap between the era of Himiko and the era of Amaterasu.

Therefore, Japanese scholars such as Matsumoto Kiyohari and Motohiko Izawa put forward the theory that Himiko was assassinated.

When the eclipse occurs, the spiritual power of Himiko, the shrine maiden who serves the sun god, disappears, and the people of Yamatai are killed.

According to this theory, after the assassination of Himiko, the kingdom of Yamadai fell into chaos for a while, and it was not until the newly elected next shrine maiden Taiyo to serve the sun god settled down;

This is the source of the account of the reappearance of Amaterasu, who once hid in Tenwado, in Japanese books. However, this assassination theory is based on too much imagination, and there are many dissenting opinions.

And as early as in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, there is a record of the golden seal given by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu to the envoy of the Wa Kingdom.

In the Jin Dynasty, Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms? Wei Shu? The Biography of the Wa People devotes about 2,000 words to the situation of the Wa Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period.

As mentioned in this article, there was a large queen kingdom called Yamadai Province in the northeastern part of the Japanese island of Kyushu at that time, with more than 30 small kingdoms under it.

The queen who rules the country is "Himiko". According to the book, although the Yamadai Kingdom has had men as kings in successive dynasties, after sixty or seventy years of war, they installed Himiko as queen.

Himiko is good at confusing the people with ghosts and gods, and although he is very old, he is not married, and only his younger brother assists the government. No outsider had ever been able to see her since Himiko became king, and only a thousand ladies and a man who delivered food had entered and left the palace.

According to records, in 238 AD, Himiko sent an envoy to the Wei Emperor Cao Rui.

Emperor Wei gave Himiko a purple ribbon gold seal engraved with the words "pro-Wei Wang", and several gifts, including 100 bronze mirrors.

The Yamatai Kingdom had always been at odds with another dog slave kingdom ruled by a male king, and she specially sent an envoy to the Wei State again to ask for help.

Emperor Wei sent an envoy to express his support for the Yamatai Kingdom, but the Dog Slave Kingdom did not seem to care about Emperor Wei's inscriptions. During the long war, Himiko died.

The Yamatai Kingdom established a male as the king, but the country caused great turmoil, so it had to once again support the female "Taiyo" of the Himiko clan as the queen, which quelled the civil strife.

In 326 A.D., Taihe sent an envoy to China again. At this time, the Three Kingdoms era had ended, and the Jin Dynasty was dominant. After that, the Yamatai Kingdom disappeared from China's history books.

As for the location of the Yamatai Kingdom, the Kyushu Island theory is more powerful in the international academic circles, and according to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, it is recorded that the Wa Kingdom or Yamatai Kingdom is located in the northeastern part of Kyushu Island in the Japanese archipelago.

The international authoritative academic community agrees that Yamatodai is a transliteration of Yamato (Japanese Yamato).
