While the occupation of the stronghold was steadily advancing, Li Mu did another thing at the same time. That is, to overthrow the doctrine of the 'emperor' of the Wa Kingdom and reshape the political system of the Wa Kingdom.

In fact, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the theory of the emperor of the Wa Kingdom had just appeared. The first person to put forward the term "emperor" was none other than Prince Shotoku, the father of the eldest brother of Yamanba, who wrote a letter to Emperor Yang of Sui when he was regent of the Wa Kingdom, which read, "Emperor Dong Heaven, respects Emperor Baixi", which caused the anger of Emperor Yang of Sui.

At the same time, Prince Shotoku also did something, which can be said to have opened the source of fraud in the Wa Kingdom. In order for future generations to accept the 'emperor', he created the legal rationality of 'imperial power'. borrowed the Taoist Xinyou year, and arranged the "Imperial Chronicle". In the ninth year of the ancient era, in the year of Xinyou, Prince Shotoku carried out reforms in Ikaruga Palace. The year of the Xin You, which occurs once every 60 years, is also known as a round. According to Taoism, each cycle of Xinyou is a year of change. The twenty-first round of Xinyou year is a year of radical change. Therefore, Prince Shotoku took the ninth year of Tuigu as the starting point, and then pushed up the 21st round of Xinyou year as the year of the founding of the Wa Kingdom. The first day of the first month of the lunar calendar of that year is designated as the day of Emperor Jimmu's ascension to the throne. According to this calculation, the imperial system was extrapolated forward by about a thousand years.

In this thousand-year gap, there was no written record of the Wa Kingdom, and in order to fill this gap, he artificially installed more than a dozen fictional emperors. And for each emperor, he has compiled a chronology story, which can be called an old gunman. Prince Shotoku edited the history of the Wa Kingdom according to this logic. Moreover, he burned almost all the folk historical materials he could find, so that the history he compiled became the only historical basis that future generations could find.

But in fact, how can the Wa Kingdom have such a long history? The truly well-documented emperor has only been in kind since the fifteenth Emperor Ojin.

Emperor Ojin, there is a mausoleum extant, and the historical records are relatively complete. He has developed ponds and ditches, built water conservancy, and vigorously developed agriculture. In the sixteenth year of the god of Oshin, Wang Ren of Baekje brought 10 volumes of the Analects and 1 volume of the Thousand Character Texts to the Wa Kingdom, and Chinese characters were introduced to the Wa Kingdom. The Wa Kingdom began to use kanji, which was used for official documents, and the kanji was used for Japanese phonetics. In the Yingshen era, corresponding to the Three Kingdoms period in the Central Plains, a large number of coastal people had no way out due to war, and these people brought advanced culture and production technology to the Wa Kingdom, which greatly promoted the development of the Wa Kingdom, and it was also at this time that the Wa Kingdom began to consciously send personnel to the Central Plains for exchanges.

From the end of the Three Kingdoms to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it has a history of no more than three hundred years at most. Compared with Lang Huaxia, it is not worth mentioning.

The Emperor's theory has only appeared for less than a hundred years. Even in the Wa Kingdom, it is not deeply entrenched. Most of the Japanese people still only think that they are Yamato's people, and they don't care much about the emperor.

This is also Li Mu's determination to overthrow the emperor's theory. After all, if the people have agreed with the emperor's statement, it is still difficult to forcibly change it, and it is very important that he wants to colonize the Japanese kingdom and not arouse the anger of the people.

After so many days of investigation and research, Li Mu summed up a lot of experience. One of the most obvious manifestations is that the people of the Japanese Kingdom still buy the Celestial Empire very much. They have an infinite yearning for the Central Plains, and they yearn for anything that has anything to do with the Central Plains.

Some people who moved to the Wa Kingdom several generations ago will still be complacent because their ancestors have Central Plains blood. Even many people who voted for the camp of the big brother king of the mountain back, they were not for the big brother king of the mountain back at all, but for the Tang Dynasty who stood on his side. They didn't believe at all that with the help of the Su I clan father and son, they would be able to start a war with the Heavenly Empire. The visual impact brought by the huge Wanshi ship made them unswervingly believe that the strength of the Celestial Empire was unlimited.

In this regard, there is no difference between the Wa kingdoms in later generations.

Li Mu took advantage of this and gave both grace and power. He gave pro-Tang Wa people a channel to 'rise', while deepening this gap and maintaining the generational gap between the two countries. The technology and any form of help he gave to the Wa Kingdom were all obsolete products of the Tang Dynasty. Let the Japanese people always maintain their yearning for the Tang Dynasty, solidify this concept, and let it be deeply rooted.

On the other hand, he also began to use his brains on legal theory.

He gathered scholars from the Wa Kingdom to revise the history of the Wa Kingdom. Although it is difficult to find folk historical materials, people can still find them. Many of them even participated in Prince Shotoku's work in compiling the history of the Wakoku Kingdom. After all, Prince Shotoku has only been dead for a few years, and it is normal for these people to live.

Li Mu gave great respect to these scholars. He did not force these scholars to falsify historical documents, as Prince Shotoku did, but hoped that they would revise the history of the Japanese kingdom with a rigorous attitude. Because Li Mu knew in his heart that if the falsification of Prince Shotoku was excluded, the history of the Wa Kingdom was nothing commendable, and it was closely related to the Central Plains Dynasty.

The scholars he sought were all people who were dissatisfied with Prince Shotoku's falsification of history. They dared to be angry back then, but now with Li Mu and Datang's support, they all hold back the idea of correcting the tampered history without anyone's supervision, and they are not slacking off at all.

Soon, they refuted the dozen or so emperors that Prince Shotoku had painstakingly 'created', and as Li Mu remembered, they shortened the history of the current series of emperors to the fifteenth emperor, and revised the age of the fifteenth emperor.

In the history compiled by Prince Shotoku, Emperor Ojin lived to be 110 years old, which was almost impossible in ancient times. After the revision, this age became sixty-nine, which is not too young, but it is relatively much more reliable.

At the same time, they dig deep into history. The Wa Kingdom before Emperor Ojin is called the Ancient Wa Kingdom. In their definition, the ancient kingdom was a confederation of hundreds of countries, large and small. This is also evidence to be found, someone has seen that Prince Shotoku has a seal with five characters engraved on it, King Hanweinu. And in the books that Li Mu carried with the ship, he found corroboration.

It is recorded in the "Hanshu Geographical Chronicles": "There are Japanese people in the Lelang Sea, divided into more than 100 countries, and they come to offer them when they are young."

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Dongyi Lie" "In the second year of the Jianwu Dynasty, the Japanese slave country paid tribute to the court, so that people called themselves doctors, and Guangwu gave them seals. ”

These records can restore a fact. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were hundreds of kingdoms large and small, and one of the larger tribal kings sent a pilgrimage to the Han emperor in order to gain a position above the other tribal kingdoms with the help of the authority of the powerful Han Empire. The emperor of the Han Dynasty commended him for his respect from afar, awarded him a golden seal, and gave him a name. At the same time, it also reflects another fact, that is, the Wa Kingdom at that time was still a slave society. Because there is such a record in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Book of Wei": "The Japanese people are in the southeast sea of the Belt Fang,...... No theft, less lawsuits. If he violates the law, he will not have his wife, and if he is serious, he will destroy his door. and clan dignity, each with its own order, enough to surrender. …… The lower household meets the adult on the road and patrols into the grass. Spread the word to say things, or squat or kneel, with both hands on the ground, for the sake of respect. ”

Based on these evidences, conclusions can be drawn. That is, the current emperor is one of the hundreds of small states that were supported by the Central Plains Dynasty and unified the Wa Kingdom, otherwise how can it be explained that Prince Shotoku will have the seal of the 'King of Hanweinu' in his hands?

When Emperor Ojin unified the Wa Kingdom and established the Imperial Family, it was just in time for the war in the Central Plains. Therefore, the emperor's line is no longer attached to the Central Plains and has its own faction. This is why Prince Shotoku deceived and advocated the eternal lineage.

And the real situation, the king of the Wa Kingdom had to be recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty in order to have legal legitimacy. Prince Shotoku may have realized this, and he wanted future generations to break free from the shackles, so he chose to make things up.

What Li Mu wants to do is to set things right, eliminate the nonsense stories made up by Prince Shotoku, and restore the true nature of history. Now the core problem is very clear, if you want to prove that what the scholars say has a basis, you can just find out the golden seal.

Li Mu asked the eldest brother of the mountain, the king, if he had ever seen the golden seal. The eldest brother of the mountain, Wang, said that he had seen it, and described the appearance, size, and weight of the gold seal, which were exactly the same as those of the scholar who raised the matter. But when asked where the gold seal was, he couldn't tell.

When Soga Ezo was the new emperor, these things fell into his hands. Maybe he handed over this golden seal to the current Emperor Shu Ming, or maybe he left this golden seal privately, this is all uncertain.

However, the current emperor's imperial residence is in Edo, which is not close, and it is the base camp of the Soga clan, so there must be a handle. How difficult it is to find a small piece of gold or silver.

Just when Li Mu was at a loss, the ship that returned to Yangzhou Port came back with a load of supplies. Along with the ship, there were also Dugu Jiu and twenty secret guards. Dugu Jiu escorted Bai Qiaoqiao and others to Yangzhou, and after arriving in Yangzhou, he happened to meet Mrs. Lu who came to Yangzhou to see her son. The bearded guest has always been by Mrs. Lu's side, and with him, even if all the Jiangyang thieves come, they will definitely not be able to get close, and they don't need Dugu Jiu's protection at all. Just as the ship returned to port, Dugu Jiu followed the ship.

The three brothers haven't seen each other for many days, so they naturally want to catch the wind and wash the dust. Dugu Jiu saw that Li Mu was depressed, so he asked the reason. Li Chongyi told Li Mu about the difficulties he encountered, and Dugu Jiu laughed. He asked Li Mu to wait for a while, and after a while, he pulled a small man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek over.

"Big brother, let me introduce you, this is my secret guard, his surname is Shi, his name is Shi San'er. He's a man with great skills, does the eldest brother have an impression of him? ”

"Shi San'er?" Li Mu looked at Shi San'er, and said secretly in his heart, I don't know Shi San'er, but I recognize Shi Qian-but after staring at this person carefully for a while, Li Mu remembered, pointed at Shi San'er and said: "When I was in the prison of Dali Temple, did you dig a hole and come in to save me?" ”

Shi San'er grinned and said: "It's the villain, who was working under the white shopkeeper at that time, and now he is a member of the secret guard thanks to the suppression envoy who does not dislike it."

"I don't dislike it when I am not disgusted by the suppression envoy, and I am already a member of the secret guard."
