Chapter 1599: Taira Munemori’s method to force the emperor to abdicate
After the others left, a close aide asked, "What do you think now, sir?"
After Ping Zongsheng hesitated for a moment, he whispered his thoughts in a low voice!
The eyes of the leader's confidants lit up, "Your Excellency, if you want to occupy the great righteousness, first avoid the enemy's attack! And then call on all the kings of Qin?"
"good!"
Ping Zongsheng nodded and said, "If we occupy Heianjing, we are everyone's enemy.
But as long as they retreat, the positions of both parties will change, and Niou and the others will become everyone's target.
In this way, while we are gathering strength, we call on other countries to attack Heian Capital."
"Now that the world is in chaos, there are countless people who want to be kings and hegemons. With the help of other countries to contain the lineage of benevolent kings, we will fight back when the right time comes. This country of Japan is still ours!"
"However, there is a premise for this, that is, we need to have great justice at hand.
But, you also know that the Emperor is not on good terms with me, so even if we take him away, he will be a trouble in the future!"
"Hahaha!"
The confidant laughed loudly and said, "Your Excellency, you are mistaken. Emperor Takakura is not on good terms with you, so wouldn't it be enough to change to another emperor?"
"The emperor is unkind and has caused all the countries to rebel! How qualified is he to continue to sit on the throne of the emperor?"
The confidant sneered and said, "Why don't your Excellency directly force Gao Cang to pass on the throne to his eldest son, Prince Yanren! What will happen then? Isn't it up to Your Excellency to decide?"
Taira Munemori's eyes lit up. Compared to Emperor Takakura, a young emperor who was only two years old was obviously more beneficial to him! During the Han Dynasty, there was a saying of "serve the emperor to command the princes". Why don't you imitate it now?
Moreover, although the emperor's succession is a major event, it is not unmanageable! First of all, Emperor Go-Shirakawa has a bad relationship with Emperor Takakura. As long as he gives up some benefits, Emperor Go-Shirakawa will not refuse! And now, as Nioh,
With troops approaching the city, will Emperor Go-Shirakawa still have internal strife with the Taira clan?
As long as Emperor Go-Shirakawa is dealt with, using the power of the Taira clan in the court, it will be easy to force Emperor Takakura to pass on the throne! As for the people within the Taira clan, although there are some people who do not deal with him, this matter is beneficial to the entire Taira clan.
, naturally no one will oppose you.
In addition, now that the countries are rebelling and losing consecutive battles, there must be someone who takes the blame.
And Emperor Takakura was naturally the best choice.
After making up his mind, Ping Zongsheng said immediately, "This plan is a matter of seconds! Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to meet with the Emperor to discuss the matter. You should also contact other people as soon as possible and be prepared to deal with it."
With a solution in hand, Ping Zongsheng went to the palace to meet with the Emperor of France the next morning!
I don’t know what the two talked about, but when Ping Zongsheng came out of the palace half a day later, his face was full of pride!
The third day was the time of the great court meeting. Early in the morning, all the courtiers gathered towards the palace!
The architectural form of Japanese imperial palaces also imitates the Tang Dynasty, with large roofs and interlaced beams and columns. The roof is generally yellow as in the Central Plains, and other beams and columns are mainly in black, white and gray.
The entire palace is not that big, at least it is far different from the palaces in the Central Plains! The main reason for this is that there are very few people living in this palace on weekdays.
The Central Plains Imperial Palace, in addition to various main halls and rear palaces, even has many official offices! In the Japanese Imperial Palace, there was only one emperor at the beginning, and there were less than ten concubines of the emperor.
This is completely different from the three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines in the Central Plains!
Moreover, there is no such profession as eunuchs in the Japanese imperial palace! First of all, the castration technology in Japan is not perfect, and secondly, there are too few people in the imperial palace and there is no need for too many people to serve.
The most important thing is that although the position of the emperor in Japan is passed down from generation to generation, most of the time, the emperor does not have much real power. He is just a decoration and mascot. Naturally, there is no need for the power of the eunuchs to check and balance the outer court.
!
The palace faces south. The main south gate is Jianli Gate. After passing through Jianli Gate, there is Chengming Gate! After entering Chengming Gate, you enter the palace, and then go forward through the two squares in front of the palace.
After the corner tower, you come to the Zichen Hall, the main palace of the palace, and this is also where the court meeting is held.
The layout of the palace is basically similar to that of the Song Dynasty. Emperor Takakura sits on the throne at the top, and below are the civil and military officials standing respectfully.
"Now that the rebels are attacking one after another, I wonder what your ministers have in mind!"
Emperor Takakura is only a teenager now, and he has never had much power. Therefore, not only does he not look like an emperor, but he looks a bit reserved and timid.
However, when the emperor spoke, there was silence in the hall!
Emperor Takakura looked helplessly towards the first position. His previous supporter, Taira Kiyomori, was no longer there. Now, for some unknown reason, Taira Munemori was very hostile to him.
Suddenly, a man left work! Emperor Takakura's eyes lit up, and he finally broke the embarrassment in the hall!
This man is the Minister of War, a senior official under the fourth rank!
"I'm reporting to my emperor! Now the rebels are powerful, but the many soldiers and horses of the imperial court are invincible! Now, the countries are in turmoil and the people are uneasy. It's all my emperor's fault. I'd like to ask my emperor to issue an edict for his sins!"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Takakura's face froze! After waiting for a long time, just waiting for such a thing to come out?
Let yourself be punished?
What is this for?
He pointed at the Minister of War, trembling but not knowing how to speak!
"I second the proposal!"
In an instant, several courtiers came out to speak!
Emperor Takakura's face was stiff, but he didn't know how to vent his anger. How had these people ever put themselves in their eyes?
"I object!"
An unexpected voice made Emperor Takakura very happy! Sure enough, there were loyal ministers in the civil and military affairs of this dynasty after all! He quickly turned around to look, but it was Tan Zhengyin from the third position.
Immediately, Emperor Takakura was at peace. This Zhengyin was the mainstay of the court, and he was a member of the Taira clan.
It seems that although this Ping family does not get along with him, he is loyal to him after all.
However, the next moment Zhengyin's words almost caused Emperor Takakura to spurt blood to death!
Just listen to Zheng Yin's loud voice saying, "I think, given the current situation, how can the countries be pacified by just punishing oneself?
Therefore, the emperor should abdicate and pass on the throne, so that the world can be peaceful!"
In one sentence, everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty fell into silence! Especially some of the petty officials who did not know the inside story opened their eyes in disbelief! Even if he did not have any rights, he was still the emperor, at least the first person on the surface! Abdication
Passing the throne, what a big deal this is?
"How dare you..." Emperor Takakura spoke angrily, but before he could finish his words, several people came out again and shouted in unison, "I humbly ask the Emperor to abdicate and pass on the throne!"
