Meiji fell ill!
In fact, Meiji has been ill since July last year. At the beginning, his condition was not too serious, but his body gradually deteriorated day by day.
Even though several months had passed, we still didn't know what illness he had.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
On the way to the palace, Yin Teng Bowen asked.
"I don't know. Even the best Western doctors don't know what disease your Majesty has."
Iwakura Tomoshi shook his head.
"I only know that His Majesty's health began to have some problems last year, but no one knows what happened. Starting a few months ago, some wounds began to appear on his mouth, tongue, and cheeks. They were small wounds at first.
, then it became bigger and bigger, and his hair was also falling off. As long as he turned his head, he could see a bunch of hair left on the pillow. Now there is no hair on his head. I heard from the imperial doctor that His Majesty has hair on his body every day.
The bleeding cannot be stopped even with gauze..."
Iwakura Tomomi didn't even want to describe it any further. After all, His Majesty's experience was so tragic that it was simply too horrible to watch.
Sometimes he secretly thinks that if His Majesty is dead now, he will be relieved.
"How could this happen? What kind of disease is it?"
Yin Teng Bowen said in surprise.
"Only geniuses know this. No one has ever seen such a disease, but Your Majesty..."
Lowering his voice, Iwakura Tomomi said.
"Many people feel that His Majesty may die at any time!"
Death!
Yin Teng Hirofumi opened his eyes wide in shock, his hands were trembling slightly, he looked at Iwakura Tomoshi and murmured.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, you still have no heirs!"
Meiji doesn’t have a son yet!
Let alone a son, he doesn’t even have a daughter!
For those of them who rely on "returning royal government" to high positions, they are likely to lose everything once His Majesty dies.
"This, this... if this happens, the Weixin Reform is likely to fail!"
Iwakura Tomoshi nodded. With a solemn expression, he did not continue. The aching wounds on his body reminded him that without the support of His Majesty the Emperor, or to be more precise, without the trademark of the Emperor, they
You don't have to guess what kind of counterattack those who implement reforms will encounter.
Your Majesty!
But you must not die!
Yin Teng Bowen prayed silently in his heart, how do these reform heroes rely on their monopoly power?
Isn’t it the sign of “returning the king’s political power”?
What is the core of this sign? Of course, it is to pretend to be the emperor. In recent years, they have relied on pretending to be the emperor and carried out reforms in the name of the emperor. The suppression of the nobles has long caused dissatisfaction among the nobles. This is also the reason why the Saigo Society resigned.
, if there is no sign of the Emperor, it will be all over!
How will Xixiang and the nobles who are dissatisfied with the changes fight back?
You don't need to guess, you know that by that time, not to mention Japan's future, even they will have no choice but to die.
Half an hour later, Iwakura Tomomi and Into Hirobumi arrived at the palace. As soon as they arrived at the palace, they received bad news from the imperial doctor.
"Your Majesty's lungs and liver came out of his mouth, and he was almost choking on his internal organs..."
The two of them were stunned by the imperial doctor's words. Based on their knowledge, they had no idea what was going on.
Of course, people in this era cannot understand what is happening. The human cell renewal cycle is generally 120 to 200 days, and large doses and skin color will die of organ failure before the body disappears. This is what nuclear radiation brings
The injury, and now Meiji's body is expelling the necrotic internal organs from the body.
But all this is incomprehensible to the doctors of this era. They don't know what happened, so they can only watch Meiji's life passing by little by little.
On February 1, 1874, after months of torture, the 22-year-old Emperor Meiji was finally freed.
Freed.
While the heroes of the Restoration were shocked by the emperor's death, they had to face a real problem - the emperor had no heirs!
In other words, the emperor has no sons or daughters.
Nothing. Emperor Meiji once had two sons, but they were both stillborn. They were stillborn before they were born.
What should we do now?
"what to do!"
While the Minister of Internal Affairs was busy attending the funeral of Emperor Meiji, the heroes of the Restoration sat together nervously.
"Emperor Takamei only has one son, the late emperor."
Iwakura Tomomi said expressionlessly. Emperor Takamei is Meiji's father.
“Emperor Hitoko’s only son, Emperor Komei, survived to adulthood!”
"But Emperor Nitaka's sister married General Tokugawa Iemo."
The purpose of the marriage between Emperor Takamei's sister, Wamiya, and the 14th shogun, Tokugawa Iemoge, was to unite the public and military forces through a political marriage. Although the union of public and military forces ultimately failed due to the fall of the emperor, who would have thought that Meiji actually died?
, and left no heirs!
But now, the reform heroes are faced with an extremely embarrassing question - they are finished!
Yes, they are screwed!
"According to the order of succession to the throne, Wagongiya has the right to inherit the throne of the Emperor."
Because there have been female emperors in history, it is okay for Wakomiya to inherit the throne, but the only problem is-she is the wife of Tokugawa Iemo!
"Gui Gong also has the right to inherit the throne!"
As soon as Yin Teng finished speaking, Iwakura said,
"It is very rare and exceptional for Prince Shukouchi to inherit the palace family as a woman. Although female royal family members can inherit the throne, Katsura Palace has already inherited the status of the palace family, so naturally she can no longer inherit the throne!"
Katsura Gong Shuko entered into a marriage contract with Prince Kanin Gong Airin. However, before the marriage, she was named the concubine prince. However, Prince Airi suddenly passed away two days later, and the marriage was stopped. Later, Prince Shukonai succeeded to the throne without the head of the family.
The Katsura Palace family became the twelfth generation of Katsura Palace. This naturally caused Shuzi to lose her inheritance rights.
"Then this means that the only one left is Hegong..."
Kido looked at Iwakura and said.
"It's not impossible to reconcile with the palace. After all, General Iemo is dead. If she..."
Before Kido could finish speaking, Obo Kuriichi shouted in a deep voice.
"Hutu, Wagongong supports the combination of public and military affairs. Once Wagongiya succeeds to the throne and she issues an edict supporting the combination of public and military affairs, then the reform will fall short! By then, what future will Japan have? And we will not
Everyone will die!"
Not only does Japan have no future, but more importantly... they will also die!
"Death is not terrible!"
Iwakura Tomomi said in a deep voice.
"If I die, Japan's reform can continue to be implemented, then even if I die, I will be willing to do so, but..."
Looking around at everyone, Iwakura Tomoshi said.
"If I die, the reform and reform cannot be carried out, and Japan may even be locked down again, then I cannot die no matter what!"
Not only could he not die, but he also had to live. How could he not understand the saying that when people die, government will rest.
"But no matter what, we have no way to guarantee that Hegong will continue to implement the reform reforms!"
Okuma Shigenobu looked at everyone helplessly and said.
"If peace at the palace is not possible, then who else will be there? Emperor Kokaku and only Emperor Hitoshi who survived to adulthood..."
