Chapter 164: Emperor Kotoku

This sudden result made Li Zhonghua a little crying and laughing.

The geographical location of Tamna Island, naturally needless to say, is definitely very good, good nothing to say, Li Zhonghua really can't find any reason to refuse.

Boatloads of grain were transported to Silla, and the crisis in Silla was finally resolved, the king of Silla and his ministers were happy, and the people of Silla did not have to go hungry.

One news after another spread to the imperial capital Chang'an, and Li Shimin was also very happy, praising Li Zhonghua as a member of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Shimin didn't think about what to do with Silla, after all, Silla has always been very obedient to Datang.

In the middle of the two countries, Goguryeo and Baekje did not have any conflicts of interest, let alone territorial disputes.

Although the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Li Shimin has always been very strong, if anyone dares to disagree, he will directly send troops to destroy it.

But if other small countries are obedient, have no malice towards Datang, and have no conflict of interests, Li Shimin will generally not take the initiative to send troops and provoke wars. It will not be a country that will destroy other people's people at every turn.

So for Silla, the Tang Dynasty will only help him, against Goguryeo and Baekje, and will not think about destroying it.

There were often conflicts between Goguryeo and Baekje Silla, and the Tang Dynasty had always been biased towards speaking for Silla.

However, Li Zhonghua mentioned in the recital that there are no eternal friends between the two countries, only eternal interests.

Once the Tang Dynasty finally destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje, the Tang Dynasty and Silla would face the handover, and territorial disputes would be inevitable sooner or later.

Now taking advantage of this opportunity, it was Silla who took the initiative to send it to the door, and Tamla must be in the hands of Datang, so that in the future, Silla will not dare to disagree with Datang.

Li Zhonghua expected that Li Shimin would not accept the kindness proposed by Silla for the sake of his great power demeanor, which was like he explained the great relationship.

In fact, the Silla place is not big, and it is still so far away, Li Shimin really doesn't like that place in his heart.

So if Li Zhonghua hadn't informed him in advance of the various benefits after getting Tamna Island, Li Shimin really didn't think about accepting Tamna Island.

Tamna Island is completely an enclave for Datang, and if officials are sent from Chang'an to govern him, it is estimated that no one will want to go.

After some deliberation by the Tang monarchs, they directly assigned Tamna to Liaodong Province, and Li Zhonghua, the envoy of Liaodong Province, sent people to take over Tamna Island.

A transaction, which everyone was happy to see, was quickly completed, and since then, Tamna Island has been included in the territory of Datang.

If you want to say who is unhappy in this deal, Goguryeo and Baekje are sure.

However, they are not the most unhappy people, and there are people who are even more unhappy than them, and they are the Chrysanthemum Country across Tamna Island.

The history of the chrysanthemum country is said to be very long, and no one can say exactly when it was built.

However, it seems that the events of the first Emperor Jimmu and the emperors before the fifteenth emperor are just legends, and there is no historical record.

At this time, the female emperor of the Chrysanthemum Country, Emperor Goku, had already abdicated on her own initiative, and during her tenure as emperor, the power was in the hands of the ministers.

At this time, Emperor Kotoku, the son of the light emperor, who had not been able to shirk several times, had already accepted the position of emperor of the Chrysanthemum Country.

The reason why Emperor Huangji abdicated was also a helpless move, all because the powerful minister Su I clan was too domineering.

The light prince was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Su I clan and did not participate in politics in the name of suffering from foot disease. The light prince and the middle minister have a very close past.

The eldest brother of the middle brother is the later Emperor Tenchi, and the middle minister Kamazu launched the Otomi Rebellion, and after the destruction of the Soga and the deer clan, the light prince ascended the throne and was Emperor Kotoku.

On July 10, 645 A.D., the 12th day of June in the fourth year of Emperor Gogoku took place.

Two days later, Emperor Gogoku intended to give way to the eldest brother of the middle brother, who resigned and recommended the light prince.

The light prince resigned three times and recommended the eldest brother of the ancients, and the eldest brother of the ancients became a monk to show his resignation.

So Emperor Huangji abdicated, and for the first time in the history of the Chrysanthemum Kingdom, the throne was conceded, and the light prince ascended the throne for Emperor Kotoku.

Prior to this, the light prince was not made the crown prince, and Emperor Kotoku presented the title of "Imperial Grandmother" to the Emperor, and ordained the eldest brother prince as the crown prince, and the princess of the middle people as the queen, and appointed Abe Kozuki and Soga Niang as concubines, and appointed Abe Uchimaro as the left minister, Soga Ishikawa Maro as the right minister, and Nakasho Kamazu as the minister, the predecessor of the internal minister, and the monk Min and Gao Xiang Xuanli, who had studied in the Tang Dynasty for many years, as the doctor of the country.

In 645 A.D., the first year of Emperor Xiaode, Emperor Xiaode used the era name "Dahua" for the first time in the history of the Chrysanthemum Kingdom, which was taken from the meaning of "teaching and ruling the world" in the "Book of Shang". Envoys from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla visited Japan.

Emperor Hyotoku summoned the Baekje envoy who was acting as a tribute. Because of the lack of taxes, Emperor Kotoku reprimanded the envoys. Emperor Kotoku levied divine coins from Owari Province and Mino Province Division.

Emperor Kotoku appointed the national secretary of Dongguo and other places, and ordered the establishment of household registers and inspection of fields. Emperor Kotoku prepared a bell at the imperial court, and protesters who were slow to file a lawsuit could strike the bell in protest.

Emperor Kotoku set the distinction between the sons of good people and slaves. Emperor Kotoku simplified his aid to Buddhism and selected ten monks, including Sangmin, as the Ten Teachers.

Emperor Kotoku sent envoys to collect weapons from the nations. The eldest brother of the ancients, the prince, attempted to rebel. The eldest brother prince crusaded against the ancient elder brother prince.

Emperor Kotoku forbade the lending of land. And decided to move the capital to the Nakan Wavetact Toyosaki Palace.

Emperor Kotoku has a deep understanding of the ancient sages' ways of governing the country, and has long been determined to reform outdated politics.

At the beginning of the new year in 646 A.D., the second year of Taihua, Emperor Kotoku issued the "Edict of Reform" and carried out institutional reforms in various fields. These reforms were later called the Dahua Reform.

1. The hereditary titles of nobles with hereditary surnames, such as ministers, companies, national offices, and companions, were abolished, and a new official system and title system were enacted, and a centralized bureaucratic system centered on the emperor was established.

2. The power to appoint and dismiss local officials at all levels should be transferred to the central authorities. It has set up a central government system consisting of two officials, eight provinces, and one bureaucracy, as well as a three-level local administrative system at the national, county, and county levels.

Its Prime Minister, Left Minister, and Right Minister. Known as the "Three Princes", it is equivalent to the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao of the Tang Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Kotoku has almost copied the system of the Tang Dynasty, with only a few changes.
