Chapter Twenty-Four: The Theory of Righteousness and Blood

The reunion banquet begins. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the joyful singing and dancing, the guests and friends gathered together, and the whole banquet hall was filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

In a corner of the hall, the shogunate Daikoi Yi Naobi raised his glass with joy, and together with Mao Hengde, the three officials of the Ryukyus, he wished Yadong harmony, Japan, Ryukyu and the Ming Dynasty coexistence and common prosperity.

Iwakura raised his glass with displeasure.

Nani!

According to etiquette, shouldn't this kind of blessing be led by the public?

Even if it is the shogun himself, he has to respect the court and the ministers of the court in terms of face, how dare Ii Naobi be so rude!

Iwakura Gushi is a belly slander, but this is the New Year group meeting of the Ming Dynasty, the hall is full of the Ming Dynasty's civil ministers and military generals, the Ming Dynasty's power supervisors, cabinet college students and others are all sitting in the chief, he can only mutter in a low voice.

"It's so rude! Does Edo still think of himself as a child of Amaterasu? Ignoring the existence of the public! ”

Hashimoto Innosuke is the elder of the Morioka Domain, and he sits next to Iwakura Gushi.

Listening to Iwakura's endless chatter, Hashimoto Innosuke couldn't help but say, "Iwakura-sama, there has been a rumor in various castles recently, saying that it is 'righteous and bloody'. ”

Hashimoto smiled slightly and shook his head, "Of course, I, the Morioka Domain, don't believe it. ”

The so-called "Yoshimitsu chaotic blood" means that the current emperor is the blood of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate.

There is also a "Northern and Southern Dynasties Era" in Japanese history.

At that time, the emperor had a dispute between the Shomei-in system and the Daikakuji temple system. In 1392 (the 9th year of Yuanzhong/the 3rd year of Mingde), the Southern and Northern Dynasties signed the "Mingde Treaty" and merged after the merger.

The premise of the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was that the two unifications ascended the throne in different generations, but the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu violated this agreement and adopted the Northern Dynasty as the emperor's lineage.

There has always been a story in Japan that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had an affair with Fujiwara Yanko, the concubine of Emperor Houyuan, and Emperor Komatsu was the son of Fujiwara Yanzi and Yoshimitsu, and the emperor's bloodline has long been cut off.

At the same time as the "Yoshiman Rebellion Blood Theory", there was also a rumor of "Tokugawa Non-Genji" in the castle town.

Tokugawa non-Genji, refers to Tokugawa Ieyasu's surname Genji, which is not actually a descendant of Genji.

Genji is a descendant of the emperor, and the generals of Seiyi are all related to Genji, so there is legitimacy. Japan is more particular about blood, and for a long time, the Japanese samurai group believed that only the descendants of the Genji and Taira clans were eligible to open.

There are constantly people in the market who swear that they quote the scriptures, saying that the Tokugawa family is Matsudaira by nature and is a priest family.

Tokugawa Ieyasu assumed the surname Genji three times, and the assuming leader was a branch of the Seiwa Genji, and a branch of the Nitta clan, a first-class branch of the Tokugawa Yoshiki, the Serada clan.

Many of these rumors were circulating around Kyoto half a year ago, and Iwakura Gushi had also heard of one or two, and the public government had repeatedly ordered the Kyoto Institute to send someone to investigate it strictly.

The Kyoto Shoshiro was the town government that managed the security and administration of Kyoto, and it was an institution set up by the shogunate to oversee the actions of the imperial court, the public nobility, and the daimyo of the Kansai region.

But the Kyoto Institute has always been a disobedient person, and he doesn't care about controlling rumors at all, and even if he catches one or two rumor-mongers, he just warns him and lets it go lightly.

Rumors about the "Yoshiman Rebellion Blood Theory" and "Tokugawa Non-Genji" were rampant, and the imperial court was helpless about it.

In fact, the spread of these rumors is all due to the Japanese naturalized people in the crossing team.

The team's strategy for Japan is to try to dismember Japan and keep Japan in a state of territorial, economic, and cultural division forever.

When the Political Research Office drafted the strategic policy for Japan, Ren Xuefeng keenly found the entry point, and through his agents in Japan, he propagated the "Theory of Righteousness and Blood", broke the obsession of the emperor with eternal unity, and then denied the legitimacy of the emperor; Promote the "Tokugawa non-Genji theory" and deny the legitimacy of the Tokugawa family.

Since the bloodline of the Japanese imperial family and the Tokugawa shogun family is not pure, they can survive and die, and choose their descendants to hold positions.

In this way, the Japanese government and the opposition have different ideas, and each vassal will inevitably have different opinions and express their own opinions, which will then destroy the foundation of Japan's belief -- the idea of the kingdom of God. Destroy Japan's symbol of unity, and the Ming Dynasty can win in chaos.

Iwakura Gushi felt a little flustered, and he raised his voice slightly and reprimanded, "Yaga! At the same time, there is also a rumor that 'Tokugawa Fugenji', why don't you say it?"

"Tokugawa is not Genji, and it's just a rumor." Hashimoto Innosuke glanced at Naobi Ii not far away, and his face was very flat, "Thinking that the Tokugawa family's military strength crushed all the daimyo in the country back then, and the imperial court established Ieyasu as the general of the expedition, it was also natural and logical." ”

Hashimoto Innoyu disagreed, the public family pays attention to blood, and the samurai family pays the most attention to strength. The shogun was the model and the highest arbiter of the samurai in the world, relying on strong military power.

Iwakura said stupidly, "'Righteous blood' is also complete nonsense! ”

"Your Excellency should know that the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu." Hashimoto said lightly, "Why did the imperial court posthumously bestow him the title of 'Emperor Taishang' after his death." ”

Historically, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was buried in Shikaen-in Temple, Kyoto, Japan, after his death, and the Japanese court posthumously awarded him the title of "Emperor Shikaen-in".

In the history books, it is called "Emperor Taijo of Rokuenin".

"Ashikaga Yoshimitsu bridged the north and the south and unified Japan, and the merit was greater than the country's society, so the imperial court gave great glory to the courtesy." Iwakura Gushi held back the anger in his heart, "The so-called 'righteous blood' is completely the nonsense of a traitor!" It is impossible for the people of Amaterasu to utter such words without a king and without a father! ”

Iwakura Gushi wanted to scold and vent happily, but he wouldn't scold. Growing up, Iwakura Gushi has never learned how to scold.

The ministers of the Japanese court have always paid attention to etiquette, and they usually talk as much nonsense as they can when they speak, but they don't use swearing.

Hashimoto Innosuke drank a glass of wine and talked eloquently, "It is generally believed that the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties began when Emperor Go-Daigo sneaked into Yoshino and ended in 1392 (the 3rd year of Meitoku of the Northern Dynasty???) In the 9th year of the Southern Dynasty, the two sides reached the "Mingde Peace Treaty", and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were unified, and the throne thereafter was inherited by the Northern Dynasty......"

"But the truth is that the Northern Dynasty has perished! So who were the emperors who succeeded to the throne after the Treaty of Shotoku? Hashimoto stared at Iwakura with wide eyes.

In the shogunate era, how dare Hashimoto be so rude!

Iwakura Gushi said coldly, "Anyone who knows a little bit of history knows that after the Go-Kameyama Emperor (99th) of the Southern Dynasty, it was the Go-Komatsu Emperor of the Northern Dynasty. ”

"That's right!" Hashimoto Innosuke said with a smile, "There is a question in the market, whose child is Emperor Gokomatsu?" Why did Emperor Go-Komatsu crown Yoshimitsu as 'Emperor Taishang'? ”

"Yaga Yalu!" Iwakura Gushi was furious and stood up angrily, "Hashimoto Inyuki, you want to find out your identity, do you still think of yourself as a child of Amaterasu?" How can you offend the Emperor's majesty again and again......"

The noise here has long attracted the attention of the relevant departments.

Less than ten seconds before Iwakura Gushi roared, he was dragged out of the side door by two brocade guards covering his mouth.

Hang Guofan followed closely behind and chased after him.

Jin Yiwei threw Iwakura Gushi out of the courtroom.

Looking at Iwakura Gushi's dejected look, Hang Guofan complained in a low voice, "My lord, this is my first grand event in the year of Bingyin, how can you be so rude!" ”

"Listen to me!" Iwakura Gushi grabbed Hang Guofan's arm, "I framed Hashimoto, I was completely angry with that Hashimoto......"

The importance of the Ming Dynasty to the Japanese imperial family is well known to Iwakura. Although there was a scandal in the banquet hall, no matter what, he had to complete his mission.

In this way, after going back, there will be an explanation.

Iwakura Gushi is not from a samurai family, he has never played martial arts ~ swords, and he has never thought about suicide by disembowelment. He can only play with the origami fan in his hand, chant Fengyue, and dream of being promoted to become rich.

In the banquet hall, Jing Yi Naobi was so unhappy.

According to reliable information, it is said that the public family is popular and the samurai family is fighting fiercely with the Ming Dynasty, and they also want to take the road of harmony and marry the emperor's sister, Prince Shukonai, to the Ming Dynasty.

It should be no fun now!

Since the opening of Tokugawa Ieyasu in Edo, the shogunate was established. The Edo side has repeatedly claimed that the shogun was entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor to govern the world.

However, Kyoto never officially recognized it, and the imperial court entrusted the affairs of the world to the shogunate.

Although the shogunate controlled the military and political power in Japan, the shogunate's heavenly domain, the feudal lords, and the Zhixing Prefecture of the Flag Commander family divided up the whole of Japan, and the public family was only left in a corner of Kyoto Castle.

However, according to the tradition of Japan for thousands of years, the emperor is the monarch, and the samurai are only the ministers of the emperor. Recently, there have been many outlaws in the country, claiming to "respect the king", clearly overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate.

Since the first half of last year, rumors such as the "Theory of Righteous Manchao and Blood" have continued to appear in the towns of various feudal castles in Japan, and the shogunate deliberately turned a blind eye and indulged the spread of such rumors.

As for the "Tokugawa non-Genji theory", what does that matter?

Relying on the help of the Ming Dynasty, the shogunate effectively improved its economic structure, effectively controlled its financial difficulties, and improved its military strength.

The samurai culture has always been that the strong are kings, and now there is still a strong clan that dares to make trouble!

Jing Yi Zhibi drank several glasses of wine in a row, and his heart was so happy!

After the banquet, Bai Baoxiang met with the envoys of the vassal states such as Naobu Ii and Toshiyo Okubo in the Diaoyutai meeting room.

When he met with Okubo Riyo, he said, "Does the Satsuma Shimazu family still consider themselves to be the heirs of the first emperor?" ”

Shimazu Tadashi was standing behind Bai Baoxiang, Okubo Riyo glanced at Tadashi, got up and bowed his head and fell to the ground, "The blood is connected and the torch is passed down from generation to generation, how dare the Shimazu family forget." ”

"Okay!" Bai Baoxiang nodded, "This spring, He Zhengshuo, the North Korean envoy went to Beijing City and bowed to Jianyi. Lone Ben wanted to send troops to conscript. It's just that I, the Ming Dynasty, will go north in a few months to crusade against the Manchu Tartars. ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Korea is just a small country, so leave it to us Samoto!"

Although Bai Baoxiang is a power supervisor, he is not the king. But when these vassal envoys came to pay their respects, they all called Bai Baoxiang "the king" with sincerity and fear.

"That's great!" Bai Baoxiang pointed to Shimazu Tadashi, "Shimazu-sama has been appointed as the Korean envoy, and he will lead the naval warship to take full charge of this operation, and you Satsuma must cooperate well." ”
