The envoy of the crown prince of Japan feasted on a particularly salty lunch in the Kremlin of the Russian leader, and the bread and potatoes prepared according to the size of the Russian polar bear propped up the stomach of the little Japanese to the point of bursting.

Despite the huge difference in size, there is not much difference between the two in terms of logical reasoning and greedy nature. Therefore, the crown prince's envoy positioned this lunch as a good start for improving relations between Japan and Russia.

After returning to his Moscow residence outside the palace, he retouched his style a little, and eagerly sent a telegram to his master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, to report the good news.

"General Stalin is very interested in our proposal!"

In international politics, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, and although Japan and Russia have just experienced two wars, they are all the affairs of the previous generation, and the leaders of the new generation often have completely different opinions.

The crown prince of Japan was also very happy when he received the telegram, he had been in charge of the country's military affairs as the crown prince for four years, and he could not wait to learn and even surpass his grandfather.

Before and even after reaching the same accomplishments as his grandfather. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wants to express his loyalty to his father. Therefore, every morning in the palace Zichen Hall is also a must.

Nestled in the very heart of Tokyo, the Imperial Palace, a huge area of traditional architecture with green tiled roofs, white walls and brown bronze pillars.

The Imperial Palace has a long history, built 500 years ago during the Tokugawa Shogunate, and even older than the Imperial Palace is the history of the Imperial Family. This royal family is rare in the world, and the rule of eternity is one.

A famous saying that the Chinese like is "The prince and the general, would you rather have a kind?" If you can't get along, you will think about rebellion, which is a bottom-up rebellion, and there is also a kind of rebellion that is too good and wants to replace the emperor, which is a betrayal of the aristocratic class.

The rise and fall and replacement of generations, Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Meng, Yuan, Manchu and Qing Dynasties. The emperor takes turns to do it, and next year he will come to my house.

This is not the case in Japan, the first generation of Japanese emperors was Emperor Jimmu, a mythical figure, said to be the grandson of a great Japanese god like God, it was a mythical era, similar to the three emperors and five emperors of China.

Then a miracle happened, from Emperor Jimmu to the current Emperor Taisho, a full 123 generations, and it was passed down like this. One hundred and twenty-three generations is easy to say, but it also represents nearly 3,000 years of smoke, summer, autumn and winter. Sometimes the emperor did not have a son, but fortunately in the unfortunate situation, they also had daughters, so there were six female emperors among the 123 emperors.

Some emperors have no sons or daughters, so they have to go up the river and infer that they will be succeeded by their closest brothers, uncles, or even great-uncles.

In any case, they have maintained their chrysanthemum bloodline, and yes, the symbol of the Japanese imperial family is a chrysanthemum with eighteen petals, which is a chrysanthemum royal family that has been passed down from generation to generation.

After one hundred and twenty-three generations of inheritance, the royal family has produced enough members to ensure that they are not in danger of losing their children and grandchildren. In addition to the danger of reproduction, the greatest crisis naturally comes from other nobles.

The lineage of the Japanese aristocracy is clear, and it can be summarized as the "Five Regents" family (Konoe, Kujo, Nijo, Ichijo, and Takaji) and the "Kushua" family (Kuga, Sanjo, Saionji, Tokudaiji, Hanayama-in, Daikai-gomon, Imadegawa, Hirahata, and Daigo). The "Five Regents" are the families that have served as regent and Sekihaku since the Kamakura period, and the "Kyu-Qinghua" are the families that have been able to become officials and ministers since the Shogun Konoe.

Even in the era of feudal lords, or the era when shoguns were in power, the nobles never thought of replacing the position of the "Heavenly Imperial Family", and generally supported them as puppets, and in the worst cases, they could throw the prince to the temple to practice. It is also possible to choose a fool among the many princes to succeed to the throne.

Anyway, the chrysanthemum royal family persevered. Until a mid-rise Meiji Emperor appeared. Meiji is an iconic, god-like name. In his time, it was not only the shogunate politics that was withdrawn from the stage of history, but also the emperor's de facto rule of the country. He also actively studied and introduced Western capitalist ideas to build Japan into a world power.

The Japanese people thought that Emperor Meiji was as powerful as a god, but God may not think so, so he simply died of uremia caused by diabetes.

More than a decade after his death, Mr. Shandong of China proposed the theory of systematic treatment of diabetes, collecting huge royalties from European and American pharmaceutical companies every year for the patent use of the biopharmaceutical insulin. A medical device base was built in Pudong, Shanghai, to produce hemodialysis equipment that can fight uremia.

Emperor Meiji did not catch up with all this, and his son, Emperor Taisho, enjoyed a lot of benefits brought by Mr. Shandong.

Emperor Taisho is the only son of Emperor Meiji, the current emperor of Japan, he contracted meningitis at a very young age, so his body was extremely weak, and he developed meningitis as an adult, and then developed mental illness.

The Japanese imperial family felt that the word "mental illness" was really unsightly to use on their emperor, so they invented a separate name to describe the disease, "encephalopathy".

Emperor Taisho had a very serious encephalopathy, and he usually liked to wear the clothes of German soldiers, ride around on a tall horse, and be in high spirits, and behave in a crazy and inexplicable manner.

When the emperor was required to inspect the ranks of soldiers, Emperor Taisho sometimes couldn't help but rush down the stands and take away the soldiers' hats. At other times, during meetings with the minister, he would put his hand directly into the minister's pocket and search his body.

Originally, all of this was controlled internally, but when Emperor Taisho summoned a number of foreign envoys, he suddenly rolled his edict in the shape of a telescope, and used the telescope to observe the visiting attendants in a frenzied state, and made an expression similar to that of a monkey.

This "telescope" incident had far-reaching implications, making Emperor Taisho an international joke.

The nobles and the ministers discussed it and felt that there was really no way to let Emperor Taisho continue to be embarrassed, so they let the crown prince take charge of the military and politics under the pretext of letting him recuperate.

Emperor Taisho also helped the crown prince a lot, although he had a brain disease, and two years ago a powerful earthquake struck Tokyo, which is said to be the largest earthquake ever. About two million people are homeless and displaced.

The Japanese media said that it was all because of the emperor's bad luck, and he nicknamed the emperor "unfortunate Taisho".

The crown prince, who was in charge of military affairs, barely managed to maintain a good reputation because his father was on top of it.
