Huanghuang Zichen Palace, there has not been such a grand court meeting for about 1000 years!
The Kyoto Imperial Palace was founded in 794 A.D., when Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heiankyo. For more than 1,000 years since then, Heiankyo, or Kyoto, has been the best place in Japan, and this Kyoto Imperial Palace, which has a strong Tang Dynasty style, has been the residence of successive emperors. However, in the time of Emperor Kanmu, the Japanese imperial power had already begun to weaken, and in order to save the weakened imperial power, getting rid of the control of the family over the government was the reason why Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heiankyo. However, just over 60 years later, Fujiwara Ryobo began to control politics, and Japan officially entered the era of "Seki politics". Since then, the Kyoto Imperial Palace has ceased to be the true center of Japanese politics, until today it has welcomed Zhu Xingyi, the son of the Ming Emperor, as its new owner.
Welcoming the prince of the Ming Dynasty as the king of the Kingdom of Japan can be regarded as an earth-shattering event in Japan's political life. The changes are of course earth-shattering. First of all, welcoming Zhu Xingyi means the official completion of the combination of public and military forces. The public who once controlled Japanese politics for hundreds of years, and then served as a vase for hundreds of years, has completely withdrawn from the Japanese political scene...... According to Zhu Jishi's edict, the Japanese government, including the Heavenly Emperor, moved to Yingtianfu after Zhu Xingyi ascended the throne, becoming a Ming nobleman rather than a Japanese nobleman.
Of course, at the same time as moving, Zhu Jishi will also give a new surname to the public family. The Heavenly Emperor will change their surname to Xu and restore their ancestral surname. Since then, there have been four more dukes surnamed Xu in Yingtian City. And the rest of the public families, whether it is the Wushi Guan family or the Jiuqing family, or the Qinghua family, the minister's family, the Yulin family, the famous family and the half family, all moved to Yingtian. And Emperor Zhu gave the surname Han and the title of Ming Dynasty. Since then, the generation has lived in China. It has nothing to do with Japanese politics.
In addition to purging the public from Japan, Zhu Jishi also promoted another major reform - equality of the four people! While implementing the equality of the four peoples, a large number of nobles were canonized, including imperial nobles and local nobles, the former was canonized by the Ming court, and enjoyed the bestowal, land and annuity, and needed to be loyal to the Ming Emperor and bear the corresponding obligations. The latter was canonized by the king of Japan, with only a name and a small annuity. The two types of nobles had a total of tens of thousands of families (mainly local nobles). Hundreds of thousands of noble children were involved. At the same time as the canonization, Zhu Jishi also gave surnames to the new nobles of Japan on a large scale.
Among them, the Tokugawa family is of course the highest-level noble, giving the surname Zhu and enjoying the status of the Japanese royal family, and Zhu Qingxi himself was named the king of Daming County, and at the same time served as the prime minister of the Kingdom of Japan. In addition, he is currently the largest landlord and chaebol in the whole of Japan. The land under his name alone is as many as several million mu, and he does not have to do anything, and he can receive a rent equivalent to 4 million stone of rice a year. Probably the second big winner in this big change.
And Japan's 20 million ordinary people are probably also the beneficiaries of this change in China. The first is the implementation of "equality for the four people". Nominally, let them be on an equal footing with the samurai lords who used to be high-ranking in the past...... Moreover, they all received surnames (in the past, Japanese civilians did not have surnames). Of course, they are all Han surnames, so just choose them from the hundreds of surnames.
And then there is the status of a citizen of the Empire. In the current Greater China circle, only the people of the Kazakh Khanate, like the people of the Kingdom of Japan, can directly obtain the status of imperial citizens. And not in the name of naturalization, but according to the criteria for naturalization by birth, you can enjoy the power of the "Daming Homestead Law" to allocate frontier lands (including the Kingdom of California) to imperial citizens (naturalized by birth). It is also possible to participate in collective farms and migrate to the frontier with the help of the government...... With the increasing financial strength of the Ming Dynasty and the development of the border areas, it has achieved initial results. The danger of immigration to the frontier is far less dangerous than it was a decade ago, and the attraction of the Han people of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese people has greatly increased. In recent years, the number of migrants has increased considerably. More than 5 million people move out of Han every year! In addition, at least 3 million people have migrated from rural to urban areas. The proletariat of the Ming Dynasty is also growing rapidly!
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and there is no one here in Zhu Jishi!
The Japanese officials who are qualified to attend Zhu Xingyi's coronation ceremony today all know what the Japanese National Association has paid for what it has received. As for whether it is worth it, that is, the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise.
The officials who entered the Zichen Hall under the guidance of the female officials of the Japanese court who were born in the samurai family were all thinking about this problem - now the Ming Dynasty is busy integrating the yellow races of East Asia probably has only one purpose, in order to compete with the white races in Europe in the future. If it can be won, the Ming Empire or the Great China Empire will be the world's number one power and the world's hegemon. It is naturally worthwhile for Japanese people to become citizens of the number one power, even if they are no longer Japanese but Chinese. If you lose...... Amitabha, don't lose!
"The Great Emperor has arrived!" With the crisp and long voice of a female official, the Japanese officials in Chinese-style official uniforms in the hall hurriedly knelt on one knee and shouted long live. Then I heard the sound of footsteps, and then Zhu Jishi's voice that couldn't hide his smile: "Flat, flat!" ”
Everyone got up and peeked up. I saw Zhu Jishi wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the throne in a big way. There were also two embroidered piers in front of him, Zhu Mingzi (Tokugawa Akiko) and a chubby teenager, also wearing a dragon robe, with a crown of black yarn wings on his head, as if he was the king of a country - he was Zhu Xingyi. This kid was not raised by Zhu Mingzi, he has been living in Daming Palace since he was born, and is now a fourth-grade elementary school student at Huangcheng Public School, and will soon be promoted to the primary high school of Huangcheng Public School. However, this time he became the king of Japan, so naturally he could no longer go to the Imperial City Public School, but had to transfer to the Japanese Gakuin Academy...... I became classmates with the children of the Japanese ministers in the main hall.
Seeing that the ministers had already gotten up, Zhu Jishi smiled and said: "Today is the day when Yukiyoshiwuer becomes the king of Japan. From today on, Daming and Japan are truly one family! I still have something to say before my son ascends the throne. It's about the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Greater China. ”
His tone in front of him was brisk, but when he said the three words "Great China", he had become serious: "As we all know, the Huaxia clan has had three main branches since ancient times, one is the Han family in the Central Plains; the second is Dongying Japan; The third is the Korean Korea. I have traveled to Japan many times, and what I have seen and heard is a legacy of the Sui and Tang dynasties...... If there was no Song Dynasty who died in the Shenzhou of Mongolia in the past, I am afraid that the Central Plains and Japan would have been the same for a long time. Fortunately, although today's Chinese civilization has experienced two land sinks, it has finally been revived, which is the blessing of God, not the luck of the Han family in the Central Plains, but the great luck of the Han, He, and Chao tribes. But the challenges faced by the Chinese people today are even greater than in the past. In the past, the barbarians all died in the barbarians, and although the barbarian tribes were stronger than a while, they did not have the support of a strong civilization after all, and they could seize the power and wealth of China, but they could not destroy the civilization of China. Moreover, Japan and Korea, either endured humiliation or relied on the protection of the ocean kamikaze, they were able to preserve the flame of Chinese civilization for the day of revival. Now, what threatens the survival of our Chinese civilization is the white race of Europe. They are by no means barbarians, but like our Huaxia, they are a powerful race supported by a powerful and long-standing civilization, and they also have a strong sea power. Once China sinks again, it will be the end of the yellow civilization in East Asia, and it will be impossible for Japan to continue the Chinese civilization with the protection of the sea. Therefore, the duel between the yellow and white civilizations in Japan in the coming days will have a direct bearing on the future and destiny of China's Chinese civilization and the East Asian race. We can only unite as one and fight the enemy with the greatest determination. For this reason, I have decided to no longer distinguish the various ethnic groups under the Chinese civilization, but to integrate the East Asian races into one and become a unified Chinese nation! From now on, the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols, the Koreans of Korea, and the Japanese He people will all be mixed into one! (To be continued......)
