Chapter 584: God's Problem

On May 1, 1908, the Kingdom of Siam, one of the only two remaining states in East Asia besides China, joined the Empire of the Federal Republic of China, and Siam changed the monarchy to a constitutional monarchy, with the Constitution of the Empire of the Federal Republic of China as the constitution, and the King of Siam was granted the position of hereditary member of the Upper House of the Parliament of the Empire of the Republic of China, and the Parliament of the Kingdom of Siam was to obtain ten seats in the Imperial House of Lords.

As a result, Japan was left in the whole of East Asia, and a large-scale march broke out in Japan to join China, and Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang, who had already had this idea, naturally proposed to the Japanese Diet to discuss it, and at the same time personally lobbied the emperor to describe the benefits of joining China to Meiji. In fact, at this time, due to the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the subsequent invasion of Japan by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Russo-Japanese War and other series of defeats, the authority formed in the country by the Meiji Restoration has long been gone, and now it is basically just a signboard like the shogunate period, and even the signboard is not very stable.

Because after the Russians dug up his ancestral grave, they scavenged a large amount of evidence from it that could prove that the imperial family came from China, and even formed a discipline in the world to study the origin of the Japanese emperor, a large number of such articles poured into Japan through guò newspapers and radio stations, and among the Japanese people, the emperor was being pulled off the altar, and even some radical political forces put forward the slogan of abolishing the emperor and establishing a republic in Japan, in fact, even Meiji himself did not know whether his ancestors came from China, This is a pure muddle account.

Judging from the current world situation, as long as we do not join China, we will be annexed by China sooner or later, and now not only the entire East Asia, but also the entire Pacific Ocean, except for those in the Americas, there is only Japan, a country outside the claws of Emperor Yang, to say that it can continue to exist for generations. Even a fool wouldn't believe it.

After some sighing and sighing, both the Japanese Diet and the Emperor finally agreed to negotiate with China on this issue.

"You must choose one of the two by abolishing the title of Emperor and demoting him to the King of Japan, issuing a human declaration openly acknowledging to the people that the Emperor is a mortal and not a god, or Emperor Zen asking me to wear the crown of Japan." Yang Feng said very resolutely to Zhang Quan, who was about to start negotiations.

"It's hard for them to accept the latter, right?" Zhang Quan said suspiciously, compared with the previous one, the latter one is more harsh, which does not seem to give the Japanese any choice.

"No, no, you don't understand, if I take over as emperor. They can continue to play that set of myths, the emperor is not important, the cultural inheritance of Japan is important, understand? The former they need to sacrifice the cultural heritage of the nation, and the latter they need to sacrifice the Imperial Family, and now it depends on which point they attach more importance to. Yang Feng said sinisterly.

"But the question is, even if the Japanese agree, in what capacity will you accept the throne? Although there is no shortage of Zen concessions in Japanese history, it is ultimately an internal matter of the Japanese imperial family, and it is not worth it to recognize Meiji as a brother in your capacity for this matter. In today's Japan, we don't need a group army to push flat, and there is no need to surrender our identity at all. Zhang Quan said.

"This problem is easy to solve, the emperor is a god, and since he is a god, it can be solved in a hurry. For example, Amaterasu gave the emperor a dream, and because he took pity on the suffering of the Japanese people, he sent down his own incarnation, that is, me, to save the Japanese people, since the emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu. And I'm also the incarnation of Amaterasu, so it's all a family, and it's completely justified for me to give me this throne. Yang Feng said.

But how to solve the problem of the mythological system. You must know that the vast majority of the people in our country also believe in mythology, and your identity as the Son of Heaven in China is also very respected by the people. Zhang Quan said.

"What's so difficult about this, Amaterasu is nothing more than a sun god, I am the son of heaven, the son of heaven, the sun god is just a god in the sky, to put it bluntly, I am still my Lao Tzu's subordinate, and now I am just doing him a favor." Yang Feng said with a smile.

Is that okay too? Zhang Quan's eyes were about to pop out.

"What's wrong with that? Besides, this is just the myths and legends of those foolish people in the countryside, I never think that I am the son of heaven or a god, I am a scientist, a scientist with faith, and I never talk about anything strange and chaotic, but how do others guess that I myth me This is their business, I am just like wearing the crown of China and wearing the crown of Japan, and in a few years I will wear the crown of India, do I still have to have a relationship with Brahma or something? I just got the position of a secular monarch, and as for the myths behind this monarch, the reason they gave me, what does this have to do with me? They want to give me Zen, and they don't want them to give me Zen.

The Japanese cabinet is also smart people, they know better than us what kind of bird the emperor is, this is just to coax the common people, so that they can maintain the cultural system of the Japanese people, and get a monarch who can provide them with enough protection, as for the emperor, it is not a big deal, sacrifice it! He can't stay in Japan, but since we are all family, then I can give him some of my property, and since I am a family, I can give him the title of prince, the position of hereditary member of the House of Lords, and if they don't agree to this, then I have to be sorry. Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.

In fact, after Zhang Quan explained his idea to the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, His Excellency the Prime Minister had a sense of surprise, after China annexed Siam, he already knew very well that this time Japan was in a catastrophe, it didn't matter to him to join China as a state, and it was not a bad thing for Japan, and it was absolutely cost-effective to hand over diplomacy and the right to declare war in exchange for a peaceful and stable environment. But how to ensure that the He clan will not disappear among the Han people, this question must be considered, how many once dominant ethnic groups in Chinese history have disappeared among the Han people, not to mention that Japan, which is now in a weak position, if you want to maintain the independence of the Japanese clan, you must continue to worship the tablet of the emperor god, without the emperor of the god seat, it will not take long for the Japanese clan to disappear.

Although for the prime minister of Saionji, who studied in France for ten years and even experienced the Paris Commune, the myth of the emperor is actually a joke, but for the sake of national inheritance, he must repeat this joke a thousand times and ten thousand times, Yang Feng's first choice to them is definitely not good, this is equivalent to cutting off the roots of Japanese culture, but they can't do it, compared with the national inheritance, it is obvious that the head is more important, and if Yang Feng is angry and wants to beat them again, it is not just the culture that will be lost at that time.

Now there is no need to worry about this problem, the benevolent Emperor Xià gave a solution, although this solution is too unbelievable, but it is also a solution that can be solved, of course, as Yang Feng himself said, this must be sacrificed by His Majesty the Emperor, not only must he make sacrifices, but the entire imperial family must make sacrifices, because in the future, the emperor's crown will definitely be worn on the heads of Yang Feng's descendants, that is to say, the imperial family is actually over, Although Emperor Yang is also the emperor, and he is also the embodiment of Amaterasu in the world.

Next, the Japanese cabinet and parliament must persuade Meiji to accept this condition, and in addition to building momentum for this mythical system, fortunately, with the support of the People's Radio and the Ming Daily, it is still very simple to fool the people, but the problem is that the Meiji Emperor can't stand it, although Yang Feng also left him a way back, and promised to give him a piece of his territory in Henan and a palace on the territory, and also gave him a part of the company's shares, but as a generation of famous monarchs who have worked hard, the Meiji Emperor resolutely refused to accept this humiliation, He is even more unwilling to put an end to the Japanese imperial family in his own hands.

"Don't blame me for being unkind, wasn't there a Monsanto employee murdered in Tokyo the other day? Shouldn't the Japanese government give an explanation for this? Yang Feng said with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, that employee drowned in the river of the Arakawa River after he came out of the courtyard drunk by himself because he couldn't see the road clearly." Zhang Quan said with a smile.

"How is this possible? How could a senior engineer with a doctorate be drunk and drunk, and how could such a big living person walk and fall into the river? It is even more unbelievable that a person who can swim is drowned, in short, there must be a conspiracy here, perhaps some Japanese anti-China organizations did it, and the Japanese government's investigation report is very suspected of covering up anti-China organizations, and it must be explained clearly, and the Chinese government must send people to investigate, as long as this can be truly fair. Yang Feng said gloomily, and his hegemonic face was fully revealed.

At the same time, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially sent a note to the Japanese government, demanding that China send people to participate in the investigation of this case, otherwise there would be no guarantee of fairness to the deceased.

Of course, the Prime Minister of Xiyuan Temple understands that this is just to express the anger of the Emperor to Japan, first of all, he must not refuse China to send people to participate in the investigation, because Chinese citizens enjoy extraterritoriality in Japan, and the Chinese government has every right to participate in the investigation when Chinese citizens are killed in Japan. And then the next thing will be the fleet of the Chinese Navy. (To be continued......)
