Chapter 168: The surname of the Wa Kingdom is Li (asking for a monthly pass)

Kyoto in the Wa Kingdom is also known as Heiankyo.

In 794 A.D., Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to this area, and named it "Heian", which means peace, stability and prosperity.

The planning and design of the city was influenced by the ancient Chinese city of Chang'an, which is believed to be modeled after the capital of the Tang Dynasty in China.

The buildings are arranged in a rectangular shape, with Suzaku Road as the axis running through the north and south, and the city is divided into two capitals, Chang'an and Luoyang, with the imperial palace in the middle, and residential and commercial areas around it.

In addition, Heiankyo also borrowed the concept of Feng Shui and chose a place with a difficult terrain as the capital to avoid natural disasters. As a result, Kyoto not only mimicked the capital of the Tang Dynasty in terms of geographical location, but also tried to achieve a similar effect in urban planning to the ancient Chinese capital.

However, due to the two major undertakings of the Huanwu Dynasty to build the capital and conquer the Yi halfway, some places in the capital only repaired the division to complete the construction of Luocheng and other places.

Youjing (Chang'an) is a low-lying area dotted with ponds and marshes, presenting a scene of "people are getting thin, almost secluded, people go and have no return, and houses are broken and not repaired".

Therefore, most of the people are concentrated in the Gaogang dry area north of Zuojing (Luoyang).

During the period of the Imperial Palace, many temples and palaces were built centered on the Kamogawa River and the Higashi-Shirakawa River, which flows through the east of the Great Road of Zuojing, which made Zuojing more prosperous, so the people of the Wakoku always liked to call Kyoto "Luoyang", "Luocheng", and "Luodu".

During the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom, those daimyo led troops to invade Kyoto and were called "Joraku".

Li Xianzhong also successfully completed a "Shangluo".

Due to the war, the castle was a little messy and the streets were devastated.

However, the Kyoto Imperial Palace, where the Emperor of Wakoku was located, is still intact.

It was also the last place in Kyoto that did not surrender to Huaxia.

Both the royalist forces who were loyal to the emperor and the samurai who remained loyal to the Tokugawa shogunate gathered at the Kenchun Gate to the east.

Although many of them were disheveled by this time, they were still armed with swords and iron cannons, trying to make a final struggle.

In front of this group of defeated soldiers was a group of monks armed with sticks.

Unlike the Chinese in that the monks of the Wa Kingdom enjoyed a higher political status.

During the Warring States period, many temples had monks, and the monks cooperated with the daimyo of the vassal kingdom, and the temple could even be seen as a political force.

After all, the government of the Wa Kingdom was far inferior to the central power in China, and it was unable to depoliticize Buddhism, so it could only allow these monks to grow bigger.

It was precisely because of the special status of the Japanese monks that Li Xianzhong ordered the Huaxia army not to kill the Japanese monks easily, so as not to cause more resistance from the Japanese people.

At this time, this group of monks and soldiers actually prevented the Huaxia army from entering the Kyoto Imperial Palace, which belonged to the lighting of the lamp in Maolenli - looking for death ()!

The Huaxia army gave them a pillar of incense time, and if these people did not surrender to the Huaxia army after a pillar of incense, then Li Xianzhong would directly bombard the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

However, in the face of the ultimatum of the Chinese people, these Japanese did not back down.

Behind this group of warrior monks and soldiers, there were some monks who were knocking on the wooden fish to meditate and chanting the scriptures, and it seemed that they were ready to die to the end!

The soldiers of Huaxia were also unceremonious, and after they released their guns in the sky, they were about to light the fuses of the artillery.

At this time, these Japanese warriors were already sweating, and they could only rely on the scriptures recited by those monks to support their will.

At this critical moment, a person wearing a standing tassel crown and a yellow cocoon dyed robe appeared at Jianchun Gate.

When the warriors and monks saw this man, they hurried to salute.

Then the samurai used their bodies to block the man's face.

This person looked to be no more than a teenager, but his identity was certainly not ordinary, and the Huaxia soldiers did not fire rashly.

Although the emperor of the Edo period had been completely reduced to a puppet in the hands of the shogun, the private emperor of the Wa Kingdom was still supreme.

This young man was none other than the 109th Emperor of the Wakoku Chrysanthemum Dynasty, Emperor Akimasa.

Emperor Meisho was born in 1624 A.D., his real name was Koko, and before he became emperor, he was called Koko Empress or Prince Kokonai (the emperor's daughter was Prince Honai, and his son was Prince Hok).

His father was Emperor Gomizuo, the 108th Emperor of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty, and his mother was Kazuko Tokugawa, the daughter of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate.

In other words, Emperor Akimasa was the niece of the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, and she was also a female emperor.

In the early days of the Wa Kingdom, the status of the maternal line was relatively high, so there were also six female emperors in the early days, but this was more than 800 years ago.

Emperor Meisho is another female emperor who has appeared in the Wa Kingdom for more than 800 years.

After Emperor Ming Zheng inherited the throne, he grew up under the nurture of his mother, the Empress Dowager Tokugawa Kazuko, although she did not have any real power, but she and her mother had a blood relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate, so she received preferential treatment from the Tokugawa shogunate, and finally had no worries about food and clothing.

At this time, Emperor Meisho waved his hand and motioned for the Japanese samurai in front of him to get out of the way.

He slowly walked towards the Huaxia army in the distance, and said in her not so fluent Chinese: "I want to meet your Huaxia emperor!" ”

Emperor Meisho, accompanied by Zen Master Huiguang, a senior monk of Manfukuji Temple in Kyoto, and two maids-in-waiting, was brought to Li Xianzhong.

Emperor Meisho bowed to Li Xianzhong and said, "Xingzi can make the samurai of the Kyoto Imperial Palace surrender, and please don't destroy this place, otherwise we won't have a place to live." ”

Li Xianzhong took a look at the little Lori in front of him, her makeup was very thick, and her face was covered with heavy powder. Coupled with the unique eyebrows of the Japanese people, it is really difficult to distinguish between men and women.

If it weren't for Li Xianzhong knowing that she was a female emperor, he would probably treat her as a tomboy.

Li Xianzhong said: "I will be kind to the Japanese Imperial Family, this Kyoto Imperial Palace is quite simple, and I have ordered to recruit craftsmen from China to rebuild it for Emperor Mingzheng." ”

After hearing Li Xianzhong say this, Xingzi and Huiguang behind her were also relieved.

It seems that the Chinese emperor will give preferential treatment to the royal family of the Wa Kingdom.

A powerless puppet, what did Li Xianzhong do to embarrass them?

As for the bald donkey behind Xingzi, Li Xianzhong naturally knew the purpose of his trip.

Li Xianzhong said: "China has always advocated freedom of religious belief and will not interfere with the people's beliefs. This master, please rest assured, I will definitely come to the Guibao Temple to offer incense on the first day. ”

Of course, Li Xianzhong knew that the temples of the Wa Kingdom were by no means as simple as those in Huaxia, but at this time, he needed the support of the monk class, so he naturally had to stabilize these people first.

After the stability of the Wa Kingdom, the large amount of property held by these monks and soldiers and the temple was naturally his target.

After getting Li Xianzhong's statement, Huiguang was very happy, as long as their status as monks did not change, they naturally would not jump out and become the first bird.

Hui Guang immediately said that he would immediately withdraw the monks and soldiers from the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and welcomed Li Xianzhong to come to Wanfu Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

But then Li Xianzhong immediately changed his words and said: "His Royal Highness Koko's mother, Tokugawa Kazuko, as the daughter of the shogun's family, is really not suitable to stay in Kyoto any longer, and I will send her back to Edo." ”

As soon as Li Xianzhong's words came out, Xingzi and Huiguang both changed their faces.

Although Koko is the emperor, it is his mother, Kazuko Tokugawa, who is really in charge of Kyoto.

Tokugawa and Zi sent Xingzi to come forward, just because she felt that Li Xianzhong, a Chinese person, definitely did not understand the political situation of the Japanese Kingdom, so she continued to control all this behind her back.

But he didn't expect Li Xianzhong to expel him directly from Kyoto.

At this time, Xingzi became a little shy, and although her face had been coated with a thick layer of powder, her embarrassed expression could still be seen.

She said softly: "Mother wants Xingzi to stay in bed, and I hope Your Majesty will agree!" ”

Li Xianzhong didn't expect that the female emperor of the Wa Kingdom would be so open, and even said such words as a servant.

Although marrying this female emperor is in Li Xianzhong's plan, after all, his harem already has a bunch of concubines born of marriage, and he doesn't care about one more.

However, Xingzi's age is really younger, only eleven years old, even if Hai Lanzhu and Bumu Butai stalked him indiscriminately, Li Xianzhong still waited for them to reach the age of thirteen or fourteen before having sex with them.

Li Xianzhong finally refused Xingzi's request to sleep because he was too young.

But then Xingzi insisted that the two maids stay and sleep in her place.

Li Xianzhong reluctantly agreed.

However, he had no interest in these two maids, so he rewarded them to his guards.

Li Xianzhong is also 36 years old this year, and he is not as enthusiastic about things as before.

How could two Japanese women of unknown origin be allowed to come to bed?

However, he still made the mistake of giving them to his guards, so that the two of them could stay around Li Xianzhong's mansion.

Li Xianzhong naturally did not live in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, but found a large mansion in Kyoto City as his temporary palace.

After the two maids were stunned by the guards who were about to linger with them, they put on night clothes and quietly sneaked into Li Xianzhong's palace.

They were very familiar with Li Xianzhong's temporary palace, and they took the opportunity to meet Li Xianzhong during the day to observe the guards of the palace.

and from the mouths of the two guards, they took out the situation of their shift.

They soon found Li Xianzhong's bedroom.

However, this last courtyard is guarded by a fixed guard, and it is impossible for them to sneak in.

Fortunately, both of them are specially trained ninjas.

A female ninja named Sasaki used ventriloquist to imitate the call of a night cat, successfully attracting several guards.

Then I saw several flashes of cold light, and the guards were killed in an instant.

At this time, another female ninja named Ito took the opportunity to eliminate the two guards guarding the door, and quickly pushed open the door of Li Xianzhong's room.

I saw that the candle that was still lit just now was extinguished!

However, Ito still relied on his extraordinary hearing to detect Li Xianzhong's faint breathing.

He quickly stabbed in that direction!

Li Xianzhong himself is also a veteran general who has fought on the battlefield for many years, and his hearing is naturally different from ordinary people.

I only heard a "bang", and this Ito immediately fell to the ground with a bang, letting out a miserable scream!

At this time, Sasaki, who was outside the house, was also surrounded and captured by Li Xianzhong's guards.

Li Xianzhong had long heard that the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom were good at camouflage assassination, but he didn't expect them to really touch their own palaces.

If it weren't for the two guards who found out that the two maids asked about the change of guards and aroused alarm, they would have really folded in their hands.

In the end, the two female ninjas, unable to endure the torture, confessed that they were instructed by the emperor's mother, the concubine Tokugawa Kazuko.

Without saying a word, Huaxia Jun broke into the Kyoto Imperial Palace overnight and pulled Tokugawa Kazuko out of the bed.

According to Huaxia's decree, the assassination of the king is to destroy the nine clans.

Xingzi is just a puppet who has been manipulated, and Li Xianzhong did not embarrass her.

Instead, she targeted her mother, the Tokugawa family.

Since Tokugawa Iemitsu wanted to kill Li Xianzhong, he naturally would not be polite.

More than 100,000 Chinese troops in various parts of the Wa Kingdom launched a surprise attack on the Tokugawa family.

With a loud explosion, the shogunate camp near Kawanaka Island was bombarded, and then countless Huaxia troops took advantage of the night to kill the camp of the shogunate army.

With the death of the commander of the shogunate army, Masayuki Hoshina, in the chaos, the 40,000 shogunate troops of Kawanakajima collapsed in an instant.

The Huaxia Army in Kyoto directly occupied Owari, Mikawa, and Enjiang all the way eastward.

On 18 February, the two Huaxia armies met at Junfu Castle, the largest city in the East China Sea Province.

Sunfu Castle was the gateway to the west of Edo Castle, and the panicked Tokugawa Iemitsu had no choice but to shrink his forces to defend Edo Castle.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, Emperor Xingzi of the Ming Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom married Li Xianzhong, the Chinese Emperor and officially became Li Xianzhong's side concubine.

The two parties were married at the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the daimyo of the Wa vassal kingdoms except the Tokugawa family sent envoys and congratulatory gifts to congratulate them.

However, a fire broke out at the Kyoto Imperial Palace that night, and all the royal families who came to attend the emperor's wedding banquet were burned.

In this way, only Li Xianzhong's son can inherit the throne of the Wa Kingdom in the future.

Although Li Xianzhong eventually wanted to directly annex the Wa Kingdom, he did not mind continuing to keep the emperor as a mascot.

Of course, this "basin" was naturally deducted to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The Tokugawa family did not hesitate to set fire to almost all the royal family members of the Wakuni Chrysanthemum Dynasty in order to prevent the emperor's wedding, and naturally they had to be punished.

On the 10th day of the first month of March, Emperor Meisho officially revoked the title of Tokugawa Iemitsu Seiyi Shogun.

He also appointed Shimazu Iehisa as the new generation of Shogun to command the men and horses of the various feudal states to attack Edo Castle.

The Battle of Edo lasted for more than three months, and with the help of the artillery of the Kaka Army, the entire Edo Castle was reduced to ruins.

Former shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu was forced to set himself on fire to the Edo Castle Castle on 20 June with his male pet Hotta Masamori.

Thus ending the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate.

However, unexpectedly, with the support of the Huaxia Army, the emperor officially took the Tokugawa family's territory into his own possession.

It also marked the end of the entire Wakoku shogunate era!

Soon after, Emperor Meizheng abdicated, and Li Xianzhong concurrently served as Emperor Wa Guo as Emperor of Huaxia.

Began the direct rule of China over the Wa Kingdom.
