The imaginary Meiji Emperor of Gokoko, with absolute authority, is a Chinese emperor in Japan, but this is not the case. The Meiji government was built at the expense of the Southwest Domain, and how could these Restoration aspirants be wholeheartedly loyal to the Meiji boy because they didn't even take the feudal lords who had served their ancestors for hundreds of years seriously. The so-called emperor was still just a puppet, and the essence of the Meiji government was a group of ministers and reformers.

The supremacy of the emperor was entirely for the purpose of cracking down on the shogunate samurai clique and pacifying the hearts of the people in various places, and it was of little practical significance. However, because the ministers were not united, and the reformers were divided into several factions, everyone needed checks and balances, and the emperor had a position as a referee. When everyone does it, they still need the emperor's judgment, so the emperor has more power than before.

Of course, there is no shortage of idealists in Japan, such as Saigo Takamori. Takamori Saigo, a generation of military gods, is very different from politicians like Masajiro Omura, Tontoshi Okubo, and Hirobumi Ito, he is a very traditional person, and he is also sincerely loyal to Emperor Meiji. When the young Meiji Emperor was at a loss among a group of warlords and politicians, it was Saigo Takamori who became his mentor and friend, and little by little turned him into a qualified emperor.

After Goko's first conquest of Japan, the revival of the shogunate of Tokugawa Yoshiki, Matsudaira Yoho and others put great pressure on the ministers and those who wanted to be reformed, which in turn increased the power of the emperor. And it just so happened that the naïve general Tokugawa Yoshiki, and Matsudaira Yoho, who died as a confidant, were loyal to Emperor Meiji, which further strengthened Meiji's power. Meiji can still only stand aside in government reform, but he still has a certain say in major national policies, such as when he was forced into a desperate situation by Gokoko, everyone listened to Emperor Meiji, of course, it can also be understood that they let Meiji take the blame.

However, neither his mentor or friend Saigo Takamori nor his former enemy Tokugawa Yoshiki was the most trusted person of the Meiji Emperor, and his real cronies were the Miyanaka group. The so-called Imperial Group is a bureaucrat who has held the position of an advisor to the palace in a narrow sense, and in a broad sense, it is the group of imperial teachers of the Meiji era, as well as some non-mainstream high-ranking military officers that Meiji himself trusted. These people are not well-known, but they are not idle people. The three people that Meiji currently relies on the most are Hisashi Hisamoto and Tanigan Castle, who were born in the Tosa Domain, and Motoda Nagafu, a master of Chinese studies who was born in the Kumamoto Domain.

Hisamoto Hisahara is a rare capable minister, who was originally a close confidant of Minoru Sanjo, and he also contributed to the promotion of the Sacho Alliance. However, after the establishment of the Meiji government, his life was very ordinary. The ministers used him as a samurai of the Restoration, and the Restoration faction used him as a dogleg of the ministers, and Hisamoto Hisakata, who was difficult to be a man on both sides, could only get idle positions, and there was no way to show his talents at all. However, there are also advantages to being idle, and Hisamoto Hisamoto blended into the Imperial Palace, mingled with the little Emperor Meiji, and became the emperor's first confidant.

Although Hisamoto Hijikata is powerful, he is more of a civil servant after all, so the emperor still needs a military general, and then Hisamoto Hisamoto recommended the difficult brother Gu Gancheng. Tanigan Castle was also a representative of the Tosa Domain's Restoration, and Hisakawa Hisamoto had organized the Sacho Alliance, which he also promoted. Moreover, Gu Gancheng is a person who leads troops, has been promoted to major general of the army, and is in charge of the Guards Bureau, which is the predecessor of the original historical Guards Division. Gu Gan Castle has a mediocre strategic vision, but his tactical level is very high, and if there is no Guoxinga to stir up the situation, he will defeat Saigo Takamori in Kumamoto Castle two years later. Moreover, Gu Gancheng is not alone, he also has a group of young officers under his command, such as his chief of staff, Shikiro Kayama, deputy chief of staff, Gentaro Kodama Shaosa, staff officers Kawakami Cao Roku Shaosa, Osako Shotoshi Shaosa, the first captain Okubo Gong Shaosa, and the third captain Captain Ogawa Matsuji, these people were all famous figures in the Japanese military and political circles in the original history.

Motoda Nagafu does not have the resume and connections of Hisashi Hijikata and Taniganjo, but his identity is even more special, he is a real emperor, a personal adviser to Emperor Meiji. Engaging in communication, fighting for influence, and pulling subordinates, Motoda Yongfu is not good, but he is the most important to Emperor Meiji, because this guy is engaged in theory. When Motoda had nothing to do, he wrote a book criticizing the politics of the feudal lords and advocating the emperor's own government. At the same time, he also united with Yoshii Tomoto, Hijikata Hisamoto, Sasaki Takayuki, Takasaki Masakaze and other ministers to form the Chunzheng Party and start the Emperor's pro-government movement. Although it was repaired several times by the minister, Okubo Totoshi, Ito Hirobumi and others, these people are still unswerving.

After the rumors spread, Meiji was suspicious all day long, and the ministers, samurai, and restoration fighters could not be trusted, so they could only find their cronies to solve the problem. Hisamoto Hijikata and Nagafu Motoda discussed for a long time, and they didn't know how to solve the problem, but they knew how to prevent accidents. The Guards Bureau of Gugan City was fully active, and they didn't dare to make substantive moves, but they still dared to send people to look at the palace family and the royal bloodline. After three days of monitoring, that is, when Tsumi Shangwen hit Osaka Castle, Gu Gancheng really made a discovery.

"The minister and senior government officials are contacting the palace family in private!" Tanigan Castle brought a very shocking news to Meiji.

"Who are they?" Meiji's Khan came down all of a sudden, and the Manchurian army kept saying that as long as he wanted his life, now that the Manchurian army was in the city, it was difficult to guarantee that these guys who used themselves would not use themselves to prevent disasters.

"Sanjo Minamiden, Iwakura Gushiden, Ito Hirobumi, Okubo Tonto, ......" Gu Ganjo said a long list of names, and none of the high-ranking officials of the reform faction and the powerful faction of the ministers in the dynasty were left behind.

"Who did they contact?" Meiji had long known that neither the minister nor the Restoration could be trusted, so he interrupted Gugan Castle without waiting for the long list of Gugan Castle to be read. Meiji's main concern at the moment is who these people are contacting and who is going to replace him.

"Kanin Palace, Katsura Palace, and Fushimi Palace are all contacted, and there are also people on the side of Prince Chihito of Sugawa Palace. Not only the four major palace families, but almost all the royal bloodlines are connected, and even a descendant of a distant royal family called Guishan has been contacted! "It's hard to tell who Gu Gancheng is, the ministers and the reformers seem to be crazy, all the people who are involved with the royal family, they are all in contact. And they are contacting more and more people, and if they continue to look for it, they are afraid that even the descendants of the Taira Gen clan will have to contact them.

"These bastards!" Meiji, who has an excellent upbringing, will inevitably explode in the face of this situation.

"Can't let it go, they're even more dangerous than the Manchurians! These rebel ministers have been frightened by the Manchurians, they want to launch a coup d'état to murder the emperor, and then set up a new monarch to sue for peace with the Manchurians! Hisamoto Hijikata himself was born as a reformist who engaged in intrigue and trickery, and he knew his former leaders and comrades too well.

"How dare they? Killing kings and usurping against heaven and earth is not tolerated! Yuantian Yongfu was very angry, but he didn't believe that anyone dared to kill the king, and in his Confucian ethics and morality, this was a very unbelievable thing.

Meiji looked at his teacher and was a little speechless for a while, this teacher is too honest. Is there still a lot of things in Japanese history that the emperor has forced his subordinates to? Not to mention that his father is filial to the emperor, but he died in vain. Meiji doesn't know how his dad didn't have it, but people said no, his healthy dad was gone, and fools knew what was going on. Iwakura Gu looked down on those people, hijacked the young master, forged the edict of the Son of Heaven and the imperial flag, and they may not have done anything about killing the king. For the sake of rights, they are capable, and this time the gun is on the door of the head, and they are even more capable.

"Destroy these rebellions?" Meiji really wanted to kill all these ministers and ministers of the Restoration, and Meiji had suffered a lot from them over the years. However, he also knew that the situation was serious, and if he didn't get it right, he would play himself to death, so he cautiously asked his cronies for their opinions.

"No! Now that the Manchurian army is pressing the border, only two-third tenths of the imperial territory remains, and if the courtiers are killed on a large scale, not only will the people's hearts be disturbed, but I am afraid that the morale of the troops on the front line will also be shaken. Saigo Takamori, Tokugawa Yoshiki, Matsudaira Yoho and others were loyal to His Majesty, but if the soldiers' minds were in turmoil, it would be difficult for them to control them. If the Manchurian Army took the opportunity to march in a big way, the battle on the front line would not be easy to fight. "Hisamoto Hijikata is a practical person, and he doesn't dare to have too romantic ideas.

The ministers and the important ministers of the Restoration held the lifeblood of the imperial court, and it was okay to deter them, and if there was a large-scale massacre, Meiji himself would be in even greater trouble. The shock of the human heart and the like can be regarded as not knowing, but it is difficult to do practical things. If these high-ranking officials were to be done in one fell swoop, the Meiji government would be paralyzed, and there would be so many people to replace them at once. Now that the country's situation is in danger, Japan cannot afford to withstand such great turmoil, so none of these people can move.

"If these rebels are not removed, do I have to sit back and wait for them to come and usurp them?" Meiji also knew that it was dangerous to kill the ministers at once, but if he didn't do it, he wouldn't be safe!

"Uh...... We have to find a way to keep them from doing usurpation, but we still have time! "Hisamoto Hijikata knows what he can't do, but how to solve the problem, he can't do it again, this thing is too difficult to do.

"That they may not be able to do usurpation? …… Well! Pregnant! As long as His Majesty is the only person who can be the emperor and the only descendant of the sun god in the world, won't they be able to usurp it? Although those people had rebels, they did not want Japan to perish, and they would not completely bow to the Manchurians when they died. As long as they can't set up a new king, won't this crisis be solved? "Yuantian Yongfu, who reads books every day, came up with a very strange idea.

"Kill all the palace bloodline?" Emperor Meiji had a feeling that many of the deceased kings of small countries in Chinese history had done this, and they all thought it was a good move.

"Yes, the palace family has a noble status, but it does not hold real power, and its actual influence is small, and it can just deter the forces of the government and the opposition!" Hisato Hijimoto also had a broken brain for a while, and he actually raised his hands in agreement.

"Kill!" Meiji's eyes became gloomy, and he unswervingly gave the order to destroy his relatives.
