Emperor Gofukakusa had no choice but to abdicate, and he was indignant and simply became a monk. There is a tradition in the Japanese imperial family that the former emperor who became a monk is called the Ho Emperor, so Emperor Go-Fukakusa has been called Go-Fukakusa Emperor since then.

Unlike China's, the abdicated emperor or ordained emperor is still free to advise the government at any time, and their opinions are often taken more seriously on major issues related to the country's fortunes. Moreover, the monks did not delay them from having children with their wives and concubines, and some even gave birth to several in a row, which can be regarded as a great vision.

Emperor Go-Fukakusa was no exception, and although he had become a monk, he was still haunted by the groundless accusations he had suffered and the loss of his throne. After the death of Emperor Go-Saga, Emperor Go-Fukakusa immediately made a move and sent someone to secretly get in touch with the Hojo clan, which was in charge of the Kamakura shogunate, to gain support and want to be reinstated emperor.

The Hojo clan responded positively to Emperor Go-Fukakusa's request to question the legitimacy of Emperor Kameyama's throne, and Emperor Go-Fukakusa immediately added fuel to the controversy between the two unifications of the Shomei-in system and the Daikakuji temple system. After several battles, Emperor Kameyama could not get the support of the shogunate, so he was forced to compromise, but he did not let Emperor Gofukakusa be restored, but took the initiative to give way to the eight-year-old Emperor Go-Uta and took charge of the court himself.

For the time being, let's talk about the lineage of Japan's current emperor, and then let's talk about the current Kamakura shogunate.

In 1192 AD, Minamoto Yoritomo, the leader of the Minamoto samurai family, won the support of the powerful Hojo clan and defeated the samurai family Taira to establish the Kamakura shogunate. However, as the guardian of the new shogun, he held real power in the shogunate. At that time, he was called General Ni.

Hojo Masako did the same thing as Empress Lu, the wife of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. It was to promote the descendants of the Hojo clan to important positions in the shogunate. Since then, the Hojo clan has actually grasped the real power of shogunate politics as a foreign relative, and has inherited the position of shogunate power from generation to generation, forming the so-called ruling politics, and even being called the ruling shogun among the people, and the shogun has become a puppet. The lineage of the Hojo clan is called Tokumune, and the eldest son of the Tokumune family holds the position of hereditary power.

After Tokiyori Hojo succeeded to the fifth generation in power, he passed several major wars. He purged opposition forces such as the Miura clan in the shogunate who were trying to restore the authority of the shogun and seize the ruling position of the Hojo clan, and pushed the autocratic power of Tokumune to the top.

Hojo Lai believed in Buddhism, founded Jianchang Temple, and invited the Song monk Lanxi Daolong to open the mountain. Later, he participated in the Holy One National Teacher Yuan'er and Wu'an Puning. In the first year of Kang Yuan (1256), he went to the most Ming Temple to become a monk. With the Daolong monk as the precept teacher, he felt the Fang Daochong, so later generations called it the most Ming temple hall. In the third year of Hongchang (1263), he died in the north pavilion of the most Ming Temple, Chinese New Year's Eve seven.

When Hojo Tokiyori became a monk at the most Ming Temple, he relinquished the position of ruling power to the sixth generation of Hojo Nagashi. and established the eldest son, Hojo Tokimune, as the Demune. Although Hojo was named the ruling power for a long time, the real power was still in the hands of the monk Hojo Tokiyori.

After only four years in power, Hojo began to suffer from illness when he was a child. During his seven-year reign, Hojo became a monk due to illness, and his uncle, Hojo Masamura, took over the throne. In the same year, Hojo Nagaso died at the age of thirty-five at Myokoji Temple.

When Hojo Masamura took over the throne, it was already the year of the sixtieth year, and according to the agreement he made with Hojo Tokiyori, he first let the fourteen-year-old Hojo Tokimune serve as his co-signer (i.e., the deputy in power), and when Hojo Tokimune came of age, he would give way to Hojo Tokimune.

Four years later, when Hojo Tokimune was eighteen years old, it happened that Mongolia sent a letter of state to Japan to ask Japan to pay tribute, and Hojo Masamura saw that the situation was serious and could not be dealt with by him, so he claimed that Hojo Tokimune was already an adult, and he should keep his promise and abdicate to make way for Xian.

An interesting scene was staged, the official positions of Hojo Tokimune and Hojo Masamura were reversed, Hojo Tokimune succeeded to the throne, and Hojo Masamura became his co-signatory.

I just said that Hojo Shizong is the eldest son, because Hojo Shizong also has two cousins, and the real eldest son is called Hojo Shifu, but unfortunately I have to add a Shu word. One sect and one auxiliary, thus determined the fate of Hojo Tokiyori's two sons.

According to Japanese tradition, the eldest son is not completely denied the opportunity to inherit the family business, provided that the eldest son dies before giving birth to a son or that the eldest son is an idiot.

Hojo Tokisuke's mother, Sanukiju, was Hojo Tokiyori's concubine, and Hojo Tokimune's mother, Kasaiden, was Hojo Tokiyori's wife. From the day Hojo Tokimune was born, Hojo Tokisuke felt the world of difference between himself as the eldest son of Hojo Tokimune and the eldest son of Hojo Tokimune - obviously he was three years older than his younger brother, but the younger brother named Mashoumaru was named Sagamitaro Tokimune when he was seven years old when he was in Motofu (a coming-of-age ceremony for samurai), and he could only be called Sagami Saburo Toki. The third boss has become the boss, and the real boss has been ranked as the third! Obviously, his original name was Shi Li, but his father deliberately renamed him Shi Fu in order to make him feel at ease to be an assistant to his younger brother.

And that's not all, the gap between wives is even greater. When Hojo Tokimune was ten years old, he married the daughter of Anda Yoshikei, whose status was second only to the Hojo clan, (you read that right, it's ten years old, Khan!) However, his marriage to the shogun's family was deliberately sabotaged by his father, and he was forced to become the son-in-law of the Koyama clan of the Shimono country's rural imperial family (samurai directly under the shogun, who often had an army of varying numbers).

Tokisuke Hojo was arranged by his father to serve as a tanti in the southern Rokupola Prefecture in Kyoto, and later, when Hojo Tokimo, who was in charge of monitoring him, died, the shogunate did not decide who to succeed him, and Tokisuke Hojo took the opportunity to quietly develop his own power.

The Kyushu wealthy clan Nakoshi clan was actually born in the Hojo clan, and it was the same as Hojo Tokisuke, and it was changed to the Nagoshi clan because of the place where Naetsu lived, and it was long opposed to the power of Hojo Tokumune. The Mingyue clan occupies the position of guardian of many countries in Kyushu, and the power is strong, and Kyushu is basically under the control of the Mingyue clan. Because he was suppressed by Tokuzong many times, the Nakoshi clan hit it off with Hojo Tokisuke.

There was another force that opposed the forces of the Hojo clan - the forces of the shoguns who were unwilling to be stripped of power. The shogun is also interesting, Genji built the Kamakura shogunate, but his descendants were dissatisfied with being overtaken by the Hojo clan, and wanted to win over the forces of the other faction to get rid of the Hojo clan, but the Hojo clan struck first and annihilated all the Genji heirs, and finally could only ask the Japanese imperial family to send someone to serve as the general of the Kamakura shogunate.

The current generation of shoguns is the seventh generation of the shogun - King Weiyasu, who is the son of Prince Sozun, the sixth shogun, and his mother is the daughter of the regent Konoe Kankei.

Prince Sozun was the eldest son of Emperor Go-Saga, and he was unable to inherit the throne due to his mother's humble status, but he set a precedent for the imperial family to serve as the shogun of the shogunate, and also made great contributions to Japanese history.

Prince Sozun was very dissatisfied with the autocratic power of the Hojo clan, and was about to make a secret move when he was suspected by Hojo Tokimune, and in order to prevent future troubles, Hojo Tokimune ordered to remove him from his position as the general of the Seiyi clan and was succeeded by King Yuyasu. However, after returning to Kyoto, Prince Sozun did not fall silent, but became the leader of the rebellion against the Hojo clan, and it was he who formed a de facto alliance with the Hojo Tokisuke and Nakoshi clans.

King Koyasu was born in Kamakura, Sagami Province. Eleven years ago, Prince Sozun was dismissed from his post as the shogun of the Seiyi by Hojo Tokimune and returned to Kyoto, and he was appointed as the shogun of the Seiyi at the age of three. At first, he was called "King Weikang" when he was not reduced to a minister, and after he was appointed as a general of Zhengyi, he was demoted to a minister, gave the surname of Yuan, and changed his name to "Yuanweikang".

These three forces secretly colluded and were ready to move, and they were finally discovered by the shrewd Hojo Tokimune.

Five years ago, when an unexplained riot broke out in Kamakura, Hojo Tokimune was frightened, and before he found out the truth, he sent the Imperial Cabinet (a samurai directly under the Hojo ruling family, the same nature as the Imperial Family) to raid the mansion of the later Nagoshi brothers, killing the Nagoshi sect, and forcing Nagoshi Tokiaki to commit suicide. Four days later, Hojo Yoshimune, who had been re-appointed as the governor of the Rokubora Northern Prefecture the year before, received an order from Kamakura to get rid of Tokisuke Hojo, who was "suspected" of being involved in the rebellion of the Nakoshi brothers.

Hojo Yoshimune then led the soldiers and horses of the northern Rokupola Prefecture to surround Hojo Tokisuke's southern Rokubola Prefecture and beheaded all the people in the house, but did not find Hojo Tokisuke's body, and it was judged that he should have died in the rebellion, and there are also legends that Hojo Tokisuke was able to escape.

By suppressing the February riots, Hojo Tokimune brought Hojo Tokumune's power to its peak and also deterred Hojo Masamura, Adachi Yasumori and other ambiguous ministers.

Prince Sozun was forcibly ordered to become a monk and driven out of Kyoto. The Mei-Etsu clan was also severely weakened, and Hojo Tokimune took the opportunity to take over the guardianship of important Kyushu towns such as Chikugo, Osumi, and Higo, which had long been held by the Naetsu family, from the hands of the Naetsu Ichi-chi party, and arranged for "his own people" such as Yasumori Azuchi and Otomo Yoritai to take over the position, greatly strengthening his control over the Kyushu region.

Yasumori Adachi, Otomo Yoritai and others were all born in a family of Kwantung samurai, and the Kwantung samurai were the most warlike samurai in Japan, known as "the strength of the Kanto army is more than 60 states, and the military forces are the enemy of the Kanto eight states", and the Kwantung Army, which has always been called the Kwantung Army, must be the elite of Japan.

In ancient times, Japan was divided into more than 60 countries, and the so-called "Kanhachishu" refers to the eight countries of Musashi, Sagami, Hitachi, Kamiso, Shizoso, Anbo, Ueno, and Shimono in the Kanto region. The Kamakura shogunate arose in the Kanto region, and the Kanto Imperial family was the core force of the shogunate's armed forces at that time, and most of them were samurai from Musashi and Sagami, so the Kanto samurai, especially the samurai of Musashi and Sagami, were so highly praised.

After the appointment of Yasumori Adachi and Otomo Yoritai and the ensuing fiefdoms, they immediately sent a large number of Kwantung samurai under their command south to Kyushu, on the one hand, to control Kyushu, and on the other hand, to guard against the Mongols and Cheng Yue's attack on Japan.
