In one of the palace rooms, Toba lay on the ground crying, he was angry and hateful, the majesty of Emperor Shirakawa made him dare not resist, and Zhangzi's disdainful eyes broke his heart.

Especially the child who is in Zhangzi's belly and doesn't know whether to call him uncle or son, how should he face him?

In history, five years after Zhangzi gave birth to the child this time, Toba was forced by Shirakawa to give way to the child who was later called Chongde, and after Shirakawa's death, Toba no longer called the child "uncle and father", to put it bluntly, he did not recognize this child as his child, but thought that it was his uncle-like existence, and forced Chongde to give way to Konoe, the son of Toba and Fujiwara Tokuko.

It can be said that not only Zhangzi's son this time, but also the four sons born by Zhangzi later, he didn't think they were his own children.

The plots in the various small movies in the later generations of the Japanese Kingdom are not without a source of livelihood.

But at this moment, Shirakawa is still alive and vibrant, and he is in power, holding the ownership of most of the country's special gardens in one hand and the samurai in the north with the other, successfully suppressing the loyalty of Sekibai Fujiwara, and becoming one of the few Wa kings with real power in the history of the Wa Kingdom.

In the face of such a grandfather, Toba seems to have no other way but to survive him.

At least historically.

Toba's tears seemed to be about to dry up, when he heard a knock at the door, he hurriedly wiped his eyes, and looked back to see a waiter.

"You... Why are you here? Don't quit yet! "In fact, in Toba's heart, what he is afraid of is that this person was sent by Shirakawa to spy on him, will he think that he is resentful of the Emperor, and how will the Emperor treat him?

"Your Majesty, please be careful!" As he spoke, the waiter looked back, closed the door carefully, and said to Toba, "Your Majesty, I'm here to help you, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

Toba looked at the waiter with some expectation and some fear, and the waiter stepped forward, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I came to the door in Shimotake, and it was an onmyoji." ”

"Onmyoji?" Toba looked at the clothes that came to the door in Takenaka, and he couldn't tell that this was an onmyoji.

Takenaka nodded and said, "Below is the Onmyoji of Shimono Country, Your Majesty, we really want to help Your Majesty!" ”

"Help me?" Toba felt even more strange.

Takenaka Kazumi continued, "Your Majesty, we are all a group of benevolent and righteous people with the ambition to serve the country, since the opening of the sea in Settsu, we have only now known how backward our country is in the world, the people are difficult to satisfy, and it is difficult for the people to fulfill their ambitions, and now under the decree of Emperor Shirakawa, hunters cannot hunt, fishermen cannot fish, and countless people are displaced. Everyone hopes that Your Majesty will stand up and revive Japan! ”

Toba couldn't accept it at once, and he stammered, "Medium... ZTE? I? But I'm just an emperor. ”

Don't think it's strange that in the thousands of years of history of the Wa Kingdom, the position of the emperor has always been a hypocrisy, which is completely different from Huaxia, and this is also the easiest place for beginners to learn the history of the Wa Kingdom.

In history, in the 1,500 years from the reform of the Imperial Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty to the later Meiji Restoration, only the Tenchi Tenmu Dynasty has been in power for 10 years, Emperor Tenmu has been in power for 14 years, and Emperor Daigo has been in power for 1 year during the establishment of the new policy, and among these three people, the first two who can be in power are the coups of the real imperial family who came to power, and the last one ended in being overthrown by a coup d'état.

In the present day of Emperor Toba, the same is true, in fact, Shirakawa's court administration is to learn from his father Gosan, the latter three because there was no blood of the Shikibai Fujiwara family, and the Sekibai Fujiwara family really did not like each other, so on the one hand, Fujiwara Yoritsu simply complained at home, on the other hand, Gojo issued an order to organize the manor, liquidating the Fujiwara family's estates in various places. But the ministers of the court are all members of the Fujiwara family, and in order to really grasp the power, Sanjo can only give way to Shirakawa, become the emperor himself, and then organize a group of people to implement the government of the court.

The same is true of Shirakawa, who abdicated to the eight-year-old Emperor Dighe and continued to be in charge of the government as the "emperor".

In the future Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom, the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom wanted to be the general of the Japanese army or the people of the world like Guan Bai, rather than becoming the Wa king. After all, whether it was the Oda family, the overlord at the beginning, or the Tokugawa family, the old turtle later, they were all famous for millions of stones, and what about the Wa King... There were only 30,000 koku, and this pattern did not end until the Meiji Restoration.

But because of this history, the Wa Kingdom has always denied that Hirohito played a role in the war of aggression, so that the fascist tail of the Wa State has not been cut off.

Back to Toba, although Toba is the king of Wa, but never thought about what power he can have, in his heart, the real power is the emperor who can control the government, if you want to make an analogy, Toba is actually the prince of Huaxia, and the emperor is the real emperor.

Takenaka came to the door and saw that Toba did not dare to resist the emperor because he was the emperor, so he said, "We have heard that the king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. The monarch and the ministers are like this, and so are the relatives, and the white river snatched His Majesty's wife, which is sincerely laughed at by the world. If you don't laugh at the Emperor, laugh at Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the king of a country, is he willing to be insulted by this? ”

"Shut up!" Toba shouted in horror, then looked at Takenaka and asked, "You... How do you know about this? ”

Takenaka came to the door and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid no one in the whole country doesn't know, hasn't Your Majesty heard the nursery rhymes circulating outside?" ”

"What nursery rhyme?" Toba asked.

"That's what I said, there are ten kings under the sun, and there is a bright hall in the river, and it seems that the finch is actually a dove, and it can't give birth to a dove!"

"Enough! Stop it!! As soon as Toba wanted to roar, he was covered by Takenaka's mouth.

"Your Majesty, the wall has ears!" Takenaka said softly, and Toba took a few deep breaths before he fell silent.

"What do you want to do? How are you going to help me? Toba's eyes were full of resentment, and the insults Shirakawa had given him, coupled with the sneers he had given him outside, had made him a little crazy.

"There are three strategies below, please choose your majesty."

As soon as Toba heard it, ah, yes, there are several ways, let's talk about it.

"The best policy is to stay still, Your Majesty is only fifteen this year, and His Majesty the Emperor is already over sixty years old, even if His Majesty is calculated to have a long life, there will only be more than ten years of life, Your Majesty will be the year of standing, and you can win without a fight."

"More than ten years? I'm not sure I'll still be alive then..."

Although Toba is still young, he also knows a lot of secret things in the palace, which year will not some people die in this palace for no reason?

"The middle policy is to invite foreign aid into Beijing, my sixty-six countries in Japan, among which there are many loyal people, such as Your Majesty can not believe it, and the Song people in the concession, as long as you promise heavy profits, there must be someone who is willing to lead troops into the king of Beijing Qin, then Your Majesty can use the strength of these people to grasp the power, and what Your Majesty has to pay is just an edict and some official position money."

"This.... I've heard that this was the case with Dong Zhuo's rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty in the past, I'm afraid..."Toba shook his head, feeling that it was inappropriate.

"The next strategy is to assassinate, if Your Majesty is trustworthy, if you are willing to recruit righteous people outside, within half a month, you can take the life of the emperor!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is surrounded by samurai, how is it possible, it is impossible!" Toba shook his head.

"Your Majesty, this can't be, that can't, how can it be done?" Takenaka said with some eagerness.

Toba thought for a moment, and finally said, "Or... Forget it. ”

Now even Takenaka is about to be angry to death, I really have never seen such a person.

"Actually... Maybe... Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, after all, that's the Emperor, it's my grandfather. Toba said comfortingly.

"I wonder if the Emperor thought about this when Lord Zhongguan was under the Emperor's side?" Takenaka asked.

Toba shuddered for a moment, then stared at Takenaka's door, and after a while, asked, "How can I trust you?" ”

There is a door! Takenaka was overjoyed and said, "Before Lord Nakanomiya gives birth to a man, the Emperor will not touch His Majesty." ”

The implication is that Baihe will not send someone to seduce you at this time, so you can believe me.

"How sure are you of things?"

"If you borrow foreign soldiers, eighty percent, if we assassinate, two percent. But if His Majesty is willing to use the power of Guan Bai, there will be sixty percent! ”

"If something happens?"

"The only dead ear."

Toba stood up, turned around a few times, and then said, "Come on, he doesn't treat me as a grandson, and I don't treat him as a grandfather anymore, if you borrow foreign soldiers, the action is too big, and there are too many people involved, so let's find a way to assassinate, Guan Bai.... Is the Fujiwara family reliable? ”

Takenaka came to the door and said with a smile, "Guan Bai's power comes from His Majesty the Emperor, the Emperor has set up his own court and liquidated the manor, Guan Bai has long been dissatisfied in his heart, if His Majesty promises not to continue to liquidate Zhuangtian in the future, and is willing to marry the daughter of the Fujiwara family, Lord Guan Bai must be willing to help each other desperately!" ”

"Good! In doing so, what do you need to be trusted? ”

"Preferably a letter."

"In the past, the edict of the Eastern Han Dynasty was caused by this incident..."

"Then there must be a token, too!"

Toba hesitated again.

Takenaka came to the door at this time, and he really felt that Toba deserved to be bullied by Shirakawa for the rest of his life.

If you don't want to take risks, you just want to sit back and enjoy the results, there are actually a lot of such people.

"If Your Majesty doesn't take risks, who else can you let take risks for Your Majesty?"

Toba looked around again and said, "But there's no pen and ink." ”

"The matter is urgent, how can you write and ink, and use the blood of the villain." Saying that, Takenaka came to untie his belt to make paper, and pricked his fingers with the needle he brought in as ink, Toba saw this, and was also shocked, tremblingly dipped his fingers in the blood of Takenaka and wrote a few words, to the effect that there were traitors in the palace persecuting the emperor, hoping that someone could help him, and the words did not say who the persecutor was in the end, so he could only make assumptions, and finally took out his private seal and stamped it.

Takenaka came to the door and put it away with great joy, and said to Toba, "Please wait for good news, Your Majesty." ”

Only then did Toba ask, "If it happens, what do you want?" ”

Takenaka came to the door and said, "Villain, as long as Your Majesty opens the New Song Dynasty and allows the people to fish and hunt." ”

Toba was greatly moved and said, "You must do what you want!" ”

Takenaka retreated, came to the door, the waiters and maids who should have been outside the door were not there, this is also the reason why Toba dared to cry before, he walked briskly, came to a side door, the guards at the side door saw him, nodded, flashed his body slightly, and Takenaka walked out of the palace.

Takenaka came to a secret place, and there were many people waiting for him in the room, led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"Takenaka-sama is back."

"How?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw Takenaka come to the door and sat down, and immediately asked.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Saying that, Takenaka came to untie his belt, opened it and said, "But Toba doesn't dare to say that it's Shirakawa, and he has to find a way to operate from it." ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at the edict, and then said, "Next is Guan Bai and the Emperor, everyone, Lord Pingyin has arrived in the concession at this time, and is waiting for our news, all of you must work hard!" ”

"Hey!" Dozens of people shouted in unison.

In two years, Toyotomi Hideyoshi has grown a lot, and there are hundreds of people under Toyotomi Hideyoshi who are named Yellow Clothes by Jiang De, because Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in the poor and knows the power of these people, and its tentacles not only extend into the palace of the Wa king, but also have its shadow in the family of Sekihaku Fujiwara and other samurai families.

"Report! There is a letter at home. A guard walked in and handed over a letter, Toyotomi Hideyoshi hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and then handed it to a person beside him, who took out a book from his arms, opened the letter, carefully compared it, and finally said, "It is the order of the Hou Ye, since the Baihe school ban order was issued, the defenders of the city have begun to attack the merchants who sell books in various places and the scholars who spread the new Song Dynasty, the Hou Ye ordered, speed up the implementation of the plan, and the time is also 20 days... Now it's only the nineteenth. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood up with a bang and said, "All the gentlemen have heard it, next, it's time for us to be active, and now Toba has been moved by Takeshita-kun and is willing to break with Shirakawa, then behind is the Fujiwara family, who wants to go?" ”

"Let me go!"

"I'll go!"

"I turned out to be the guard of Guan Bai's family, and I know the situation of Guan Bai's family best."

"That's why I can't let you go!"

Now you fight for me, you want to make a contribution in this operation, one person stood up and said, "Everyone, don't quarrel anymore, this time, let the poor monk go." ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at the man and said with some hesitation, "Master Gardener, you..."

Yuan Li first sang a Buddha name, and then said, "The poor monk has been a monk since he returned to the Hou Ye, and he has made every inch of merit, and Lord Guan Bai is famous for only recognizing the public secretary and sneering at the samurai, most of you are civilians and samurai, I'm afraid Lord Guan Bai doesn't even want to listen to it, although the poor monk is a monk, but he is also a little famous, and it is most suitable for me to come." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi got up and bowed, "Then please master!" ”
