ACT285: The Secret Story of the Japanese Imperial Family
Under the guidance of Saigo Shengyuan, Zhao Jian and Hiromi came to the VIP room on the top floor of the ferry machine, which had a reception room with decent decoration, which was very suitable for conversation.
After the two sides took their seats, Saigo Takamori personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for Hiromi, and his posture was extremely humble. But no matter how he posed as a slave like a little daughter-in-law, the big men around the three of them were all each other's subordinates, and Zhao Jian and Yumi could only try to put on a calm and calm appearance, not to be overwhelmed by the other party in momentum.
But Hiromi hasn't figured out what medicine is sold in Saigo Shengyuan's gourd until now? But Zhao Jian understood a little!
The Southwest War, which took place in 1877, completely withdrew the Saigo clan, one of the three giants of the Restoration, from the Japanese political stage. After many years, the descendants of Okubo Ritsu and Katsura Kogoro still hold important positions in the Japanese government, and only the Saigo family is still nested in Kagoshima as a local tyrant with a little money.
Under Zhao Jian's empathy, he didn't think that Saigo Shengyuan's heart would be unbalanced at all!
So Saigo Shengyuan, who has the heart to return to the core of power, pretends to be a low-key person on the bright side, while operating relationships in secret. Soon, some hereditary families secretly extended their "tentacles" into the circle of power. Like a crocodile, he peeps in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to find the right opportunity.
The 226 Mutiny Incident that occurred two years ago finally gave Saigo Morimoto, who had been dormant for many years, the opportunity he wanted! The rebellion triggered by the young soldiers of the second junior high school led to the decline of the "Imperial Dao faction" that blindly worshiped the emperor, and everything they demanded was in vain after the incident.
After this incident, Saigo Takamori Tong Guò took the initiative to make friends and won over many remnants of the imperial sect who had been suppressed. On the one hand, he agrees with the other party's brainless concept of "Emperor Saigao", but on the other hand, he vaguely expresses that the reason why their coup d'état failed is definitely not their fault. It's that the emperor can't understand their good intentions!
So the core of the problem is "the emperor can't do it", and it's better to change one!
At that time, Saigo Morimoto had already deduced the existence of Hiromi, a shadow warrior, through the information he had gathered. Therefore, at his instigation, the remaining Imperial faction began to hope that as the "Second Emperor", as long as the emperor's younger brother, who was better than Hirohito, could be brought to power, they would be able to realize their imperial faction's idea of "the emperor ruling directly by the army".
However, it is obvious that the information that Sheng Yuan secretly collected is not completely accurate, at least he did not find out Hiromi's true gender.
That is to say, the information dissemination channels in this era are not developed enough, there are no instant news media such as the Internet, and there are no pervasive electronic eyes and paparazzi, otherwise it is impossible for Yumei's storage to hide from the people.
You know, under the official beautification propaganda. Emperor Showa is comparable to the perfection of a "great man from heaven". But in fact, Hirohito's stinky temper is completely different from the image in the propaganda! At this time, Hiromi took on the responsibility of "saving the image of the royal family" and appeared in many activities for the public.
Therefore, almost everyone in Japan believes that the emperor is an amiable and beautiful young man. And Hirohito's "bad reputation" is mainly due to some of the activities he personally came forward in, all of which are not good stand-ins for the head of state-level meetings, just like that visit to the Tang Dynasty, if the other party finds out that it is a shadow warrior, it will be regarded as disrespectful and offensive.
However, many times, the basket that Hirohito poked out is actually far worse than the stand-in!
It can be said that the existence of the shadow warrior is for the intelligence agencies of many large countries. It's not a secret, but out of consideration of international practice, everyone tacitly did not say it. But there is a secret hidden under the secret that has successfully hidden almost everyone, and that is Hiromi's gender!
Hiromi and her brother Hirohito were born that year. The birth of the brother and sister was not regarded as a good omen for "the dragon and the phoenix", but the onmyoji of the imperial family insisted that the baby girl was an ominous son and would bring unimaginable bad luck to Japan, so he made a statement to Emperor Taisho Yoshihito. I want to "dispose of" Hiromi who is still in infancy.
But Jiaren, who was already a little delirious in his later years, made the most gentlemanly decision in his life at the moment he picked up the baby. That is, like a real father, swear to protect his own flesh and blood!
Jia Ren rejected the onmyoji's suggestion. There was not the slightest room for negotiation in the tone. But he also understands that if he just refuses brutally, then there will still be people who will be unfavorable to the child after he dies. So Emperor Taisho, whose brain was somewhat restored, took less than 3 minutes to come up with a solution that could get the best of both worlds.
First of all, Jiaren strictly ordered the palace maids present to keep the secret that the queen gave birth to twins, and announced that only one "big fat boy" was born. Then he did not follow the practice of the Japanese imperial family to name his daughter "Yuko", but named him Hiromi according to his own preferences, which means "the imperial family does not recognize the child's survival".
Therefore, Hiromi's existence and gender became Japan's "top secret" on the day she was born, and no one among the palace maids knew that she was a daughter except for the nurse who took care of Hiromi since she was a child. Even the successive prime ministers only knew that the emperor had a twin brother who was his shadow warrior, but they didn't know that this brother was actually a younger sister!
In Saigo Morimoto's plan, he first wanted to use the remnants of those imperial sects to kidnap the shadow warrior Hiromi, and then make the hijacking incident bigger, making the people think that the emperor was kidnapped by gangsters. And he Saigo took the opportunity to make his debut, rescued the suffering emperor under the guidance of "Providence", and then bit Hirohito in the palace, saying that he was the emperor's shadow warrior, and because of his intention to rebel, he colluded with some renegade imperial guards to assassinate the emperor.
In this way, the identities of Hirohito and Hiromi have been reversed! As long as they can operate properly, Hiromi, who is better than Hirohito, will definitely be able to successfully complete the next step and sit on the throne of the emperor and lead the Japanese people...... Ben Xiaokang!
All right! Saigo Morimoto's original words are more high-sounding and incendiary than these concise summaries! At least the group of remnants of the Imperial Dao Sect around them all seemed very excited, and Hiromi did waver a little. Only Zhao Jian was at a loss on his face, but he sneered in his heart!
"Tsk! It's all good to say, don't you still want a coup d'état!? (To be continued......)
PS: Today's preparation is 8000, if there is the same "stand-in technique" as last time...... Please forgive me, I'll make it up in a few hours!
