Chapter 770: The Falling Sun-Meiji, who the hell are you
Emperor Xiaomei was killed by someone who exploded a chrysanthemum, which is indeed very brutal, but what is the purpose of all this must continue to be studied. Who made the assassination must also be traced slowly. If Goxinga wants to mess up Japan, what is needed is a full set of exciting content, and it is not enough for Emperor Xiaomei to die an unnatural death.
The most direct beneficiary of Takamei's death was, of course, his son, Prince Muhito, because as soon as Lao Tzu took his last breath, he ascended the throne and became the new master of Japan. However, Muren was only fifteen years old at that time, and he did not have many supporters around him, and his personality was relatively cowardly, so he had absolutely no ability to kill his father and usurp the throne. After Xiaoming's death, there was no one who came out to fight for the throne, so the assassination of Emperor Xiaoming was definitely not for the sake of seizing the throne, but for some political schemes.
Emperor Komei was killed for the political plot of some people, which was also very much in line with the actual situation in Japan at that time. After the Black Ship knocked on the pass, Western forces continued to invade Japan, and the Anglo-Saxon War was even more bloody to the Japanese, so many Japanese people of insight began to call for learning from the Western reform and survival. However, although the shogunate in power at that time also realized the need to learn from the West, it was relatively slow to act, and the internal contradictions of the feudal kingdom were very acute, so naturally it could not satisfy these people of insight, so the shogunate became the mortal enemy of the reformers. The ministers led by Iwakura Gushi, as well as the feudal states of Satsuma and Nagasu, formed an alliance to oppose the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate in order to reform and strengthen themselves, as well as the grievances between them and the shogunate.
The powerful feudal clans of the southwest were combined with the ministers, but they were a very formidable force, and even if the shogunate held great power, it would not be easy to clean them up. However, the shogunate has not been in vain for more than two hundred years, and the Tokugawa family also has strong support, and their supporter is Emperor Komei. Emperor Takamei was the spiritual leader of Japan, and Shogun Tokugawa was the de facto ruler of Japan, and when the two of them were combined, no one in Japan was their opponent at all. Therefore, several tosses of the Changzhou Domain were suppressed, and a group of ministers such as Iwakura Gushi were also sent away by Emperor Xiaomei. A fanatical supporter of the combination of public and martial arts, Emperor Xiaoming even broke the rules of thousands of years and made a big drama of marrying the palace.
However, after the young and wise Tokugawa Ieshige suddenly died of athlete's foot and fell ill among the armies, Japan suddenly changed the sky. didn't actually become a family member for five months, and it was easy to compete for a Tokugawa Yoshiki, and a second or five boys who were inclined to the Restoration. Then Emperor Komei was embarrassed, they lost the support of their strength, and they were a staunch supporter of the shogunate, which of course became the biggest stumbling block in the eyes of the reformers. The reformers could not change the mind of the stubborn emperor, and the only way to overthrow the shogunate was to get rid of Emperor Komei and replace him with another emperor who cooperated with them.
Regardless of Meiji's current situation, when he was still called Muhito, he was also a supporter of the Gongwu Coalition and did not agree with the overthrow of the shogunate. At the time, it didn't seem to make much sense to just kill Hyomyung! After reading the long analysis of the Military Intelligence Section, Gokokoa still felt that something was wrong, the change in attitude before and after Meiji's accession to the throne was too great, and the minister, Nagasu, and Satsuma did not seem to be able to predict this change in Meiji.
"It is really unknown what the Minister and the Sacho Second Domain think, and perhaps they have a tacit understanding with Meiji. Or after he ascended the throne, he fell into the hands of the ministers and had to be a puppet. "It's easy to check, but if you guess what the person thinks, it's hard.
"There is something strange about the death of Takamei, Aiko can know about it, and it is impossible for Meiji not to know it. At that time, the shogunate was still powerful, and Meiji had no need to cooperate with the dangerous father-killing enemy, so he could go to Tokugawa Keiki or Matsudaira Yoho for help. The more Guo Xinga thought about it, the more strange he felt.
"Meiji is a strange person, and it's understandable that he is a little different from ordinary people's approach! It may be that he supported the Gongwu alliance before, just to cater to Takaaki, and actually wanted to overthrow the shogunate. Fukushun found out a lot of problems in Meiji, but he couldn't analyze a reasonable explanation.
"Aside from what I told you last time, about appearance, habits, etc., is there anything else strange about Meiji?" Gokokoa once suspected Meiji's identity, and now he naturally pays more attention to Meiji's suspicious points.
"Back to the master, according to the situation of the return from the survey, it seems that Meiji's appearance has indeed changed a lot, and he is not very familiar with court etiquette, and the contrast between before and after his accession to the throne is very great. It's like a weak waste snack that suddenly becomes a civil and military all-rounder. If Guo Xing'a didn't ask, Fushun didn't plan to mention these things, because he didn't think it was particularly strange, he knew a person who had changed so suddenly, and that person was Guo Xing'a.
"What's wrong with you?" Guo Xing'a found that Fushun's expression was very strange.
"Back to the master, the slave is disrespectful! Before you took over as the assistant leader, there was nothing special about it, but after you took over, you immediately became very ambitious. Maybe after people take on great responsibilities, there will be some special changes! That is, Fushun, who changed to a second person, would never dare to say this to Guoxinga.
"Before and after Meiji ascended the throne, did you ever fall into a coma due to trauma or illness?" Goxinga is also nervous, Meiji's grandson, shouldn't he also be a traverser! Comparing the heart to the heart, Gokoko asked himself if Meiji came through time like himself, and indeed everything could be reasonably explained.
"The monarch of a small country in Fanbang, where can he compare to the profound blessing of his master, at most, his style of acting has changed somewhat, and there is absolutely no Hongfu bestowed by heaven and man!" Fushun followed Guoxinga all the way, so he naturally knew why Guoxinga was concerned about Meiji's coma, and the rumors that Guoxinga was given by heaven and man, Fushun was the one that spread the most.
"Is there anything else special about him?" Meiji has never been in a coma, and the probability of this crossing has dropped greatly, but Goxinga is still a little worried.
"Muren is very weak, he has a cold almost every year, and he played with the palace maids all day long before he succeeded to the throne. After succeeding to the throne, Meiji was quite athletic, weighing around 180 pounds, and could defeat good sumo wrestlers. Fukushun talked about the changes from Muren to Meiji one by one, and the first one was the change in physical fitness.
Muren was relatively timid, and when the forbidden door changed, he was already thirteen years old, and he was actually frightened by the sound of cannons and the screams of the palace maids in the distance. After succeeding to the throne, Meiji was much more courageous, reviewing the three armies, giving orders, and taking a heroic posture. "The second is the change of guts, Muhito seems to have eaten leopard gall before evolving into Meiji.
"Muren had grown beans by the Dutch, had never had smallpox, and had no pockmarks on his face. However, after ascending the throne in the Meiji era, there were obvious pockmarks near the corners of the mouth, and it is unknown how these pockmarks were caused. "Pockmarks are also a very strange thing, except for smallpox, there seem to be very few causes that can cause large areas of pockmarks.
"It's plausible, it seems that you can find an explanation, but it doesn't make sense to say it!" Gokoko has a bit of a headache, and Meiji is getting weirder and weirder.
"The strangest thing is that Meiji suddenly declared the Southern Dynasty the orthodoxy of the Japanese imperial family!" It's not just Meiji's personal changes that are weird, it's also his strange policies, and he has done a ruthless thing in addition to turning to support the downfall.
In the history of Japan, there has also been a Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the influence is very far-reaching. At the end of the reign of the first shogunate, the Kamakura shogunate, the emperor, who had lost power for 200 years, launched a campaign to overthrow the shogunate. Then after the victory, there was an accident when the fruit was divided, and the fallen shogunate Ashikaga Takashi fell out with the emperor directly, and simply forced the emperor to abdicate, and directly established a new Muromachi shogunate.
However, Emperor Go-Daigo, who was ousted from power, is, after all, a person who personally went into battle to bring down the curtain, and he is not easy to bully. After stepping down, he was unwilling and ran away with the three artifacts. He found a field and set up another mountain, gathered a group of loyal ministers, and fought with the Ashikaga family. This 60-year stumble is the period of Japan's Northern and Southern Dynasties, the powerful Ashikaga family and the new emperor they supported are the Northern Dynasty, and the Emperor Go-Daigo who started a second business in the field is the Southern Dynasty. The Northern Dynasty is strong, and the Southern Dynasty has a Zhenggen Emperor, and it is not easy to say who is orthodox.
Sixty years later, the Southern Dynasty was destroyed by the Ashikaga family, and the little prince became a wise Ikkyu, but the matter did not end. Although the loyal ministers of the Southern Dynasty were defeated, they were not completely killed, and they still lived tenaciously in Japan, that is, the Chosu, Satsuma and other domains in the southwest. There are many descendants of the old cadres of the Northern Dynasties, including the Tokugawa family and so on. Later, the Ashikaga family also stopped cooking, and Japan entered the Warring States period of dozens of towns and villages, but everyone has not forgotten the old accounts of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the careful eyes have a good memory. Who is the orthodoxy of the Japanese Emperor, they have been disturbed in Japan for hundreds of years, and finally Tokugawa Ieyasu dominated the world, and it can be regarded as settling down.
Emperor Komei is a descendant of the Northern Dynasty, and the remnants of the Southern Dynasty should be rebellious ministers and thieves, and Emperor Meiji suddenly declared the Southern Dynasty to be orthodox, but sold his ancestors. Japan was busy with the fall of the curtain before, and after it succeeded, it fell into the blow of Northern Manchuria, and the ministers had absolutely no time to force the emperor to change their ancestors. Moreover, Japan needs stability the most at the moment, and this kind of change of ancestors can easily cause turmoil. If a few descendants of the Southern Dynasty popped out and asked Meiji, a remnant of the Northern Dynasty, to cool off, wouldn't the ministers be asking for trouble. So this matter is definitely not requested by the ministers, it can only be an airplane that Meiji has made a long time ago, and he has nothing to do to sell his ancestors, but it is really strange.
"At Osaka Station, I stumbled upon a photo of the Nagasu Clan's Strange Troops, and there was a man who looked very similar to Meiji called Omuro Innosuke. The people in the photo have all been checked, and all of them are the heroes of the Meiji government, but this Omuro Yinnosuke can hardly find anything, only that he died in battle when the curtain falls. Fushun knew that what Guo Xing'a needed was anecdotes, so he naturally paid attention to some things that were not very logical.
"Omuro...... This surname is so strange! "Japanese surnames are all kinds of strange, Guo Xing'a just said it casually.
According to legend, he is a descendant of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, but there is no evidence. Even if he is, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have a chance to enter the palace, let alone do anything. "Fushun can only rely on speculation for things that can't be found, and naturally can't say one, two, three.
"Meiji, Meiji, who the hell are you?" Goxinga muttered to himself in deep thought.
