On May 1, 1908, the Kingdom of Siam, one of the only two independent countries in East Asia besides China, joined the Federal Empire of China. Siam changed its monarchy to a constitutional monarchy and adopted the Constitution of the Federal Empire of China as its constitution.
King Luo will obtain the position of hereditary member of the House of Lords of the Imperial Congress of the Chinese Federation, and the Parliament of the Kingdom of Siam will obtain ten seats in the Imperial House of Lords.
In this way, only Japan was left in the whole of East Asia. Stimulated by Siam's joining China, a rebellion broke out in Japan demanding to join China. Prime Minister Saionji Konobo, who originally had this idea, naturally proposed this to the Japanese Diet.
held discussions, and personally lobbied the emperor to describe to Meiji the benefits of joining China. In fact, at this time, due to the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the subsequent Eight-Power Allied Forces invasion of Japan, the Russo-Japanese War, and a series of failures, Meiji formed a domestic political system due to the Restoration.
The authority has long since disappeared, and now it is basically just a sign like in the shogunate era, and even the sign is not very reliable.
Because after the Russians dug up all the tombs of his family, they found a lot of evidence that could prove that the Imperial family came from China. They even formed an international discipline to study the origin of the Japanese Emperor. A large number of such articles were published in newspapers and radio stations.
Flooding into Japan, among the Japanese people, the emperor is being pulled down from the altar. Even some radical political forces have proposed the slogan of abolishing the emperor and establishing a republic in Japan. In fact, even Meiji himself does not know whether his ancestors came from China.
Come on, this is pure confusion.
Judging from the current world situation, as long as you don't join China, you will be annexed by China sooner or later. Now not only the entire East Asia, but also the entire two sides of the Pacific. Apart from those in the Americas, Japan is the only country outside the claws of Emperor Yang.
To say that this line can continue to exist for eternity is something even a fool would not believe.
After some lamentations, the Japanese Diet and the Emperor, who understood the situation, finally agreed to start negotiations with China on this issue.
"Abolish the title of the Emperor and reduce him to the King of Japan, and issue a human declaration to publicly acknowledge to the people that the Emperor is a mortal and not a god. Or the Emperor will allow me to wear the Japanese crown. I must choose one of the two." Yang Feng was very determined about what was about to happen.
Zhang Quan said as he started negotiating.
"Isn't it difficult for them to accept the latter?" Zhang Quan said doubtfully. Compared with the previous one, the latter one is more harsh, and it doesn't seem to give the Japanese any choice.
"No, no, you don't understand. If I take over as the emperor, they can continue to play with that myth. The emperor is not important, but Japan's independent cultural heritage is important. Do you understand? In the former, they need to sacrifice the cultural heritage of the nation, and in the latter
Or they need to sacrifice the imperial family, now it depends on which point they pay more attention 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 concessions in Japanese history, it is ultimately an internal matter within the Japanese royal family. If you use your identity to recognize Meiji as a brother for this matter, then
It’s not worth it anymore. We can’t defeat Japan without a group army now, so there is no need to lower ourselves.” Zhang Quan said.
"This problem is easy to solve. The emperor is a god. Since he is a god, everything can be easily solved. For example, Amaterasu gave the emperor a dream. Because he sympathized with the suffering of the Japanese people, he sent down his incarnation, me, to save the Japanese people. The emperor
Since we are descendants of Amaterasu and I am also the incarnation of Amaterasu, we are all one family. It is completely reasonable for me to abdicate the throne to me," Yang Feng said.
"But how to solve the problem of the myth system in this case? You must know that the vast majority of the people in our country also believe in myths. Your status as emperor in the country is also very respected by the people. Now you suddenly become the incarnation of the Japanese god Amaterasu in the human world.
, I’m afraid it’s not easy for our domestic people to accept it,” Zhang Quan said.
"What's the difficulty? Amaterasu is nothing more than a sun god. I am the emperor, the son of God. The sun god is just a god in the sky. To put it bluntly, he is still my subordinate. Now I am just doing him a favor.
." Yang Feng said with a smile.
Is this okay? Zhang Quan’s eyes almost popped out.
"What's wrong with this? Besides, these are just the myths and legends of those ignorant people in the countryside. I personally never think that I am an emperor or a god. I am a scientist, a scientist with faith. I never talk about strange things that mess with gods.
But how others speculate about my mythology is their business. I just wear the Japanese crown just like I wear the Chinese crown. In a few years, I will wear the Indian crown. Do I still have to talk to Brahma?
I just got the position of a secular monarch. As for the mythical story behind this monarch, and the reason why they abdicated to me, what does this have to do with me? They wanted to abdicate to me, and I didn’t ask them to abdicate to me.
mine.
The Japanese cabinet is also full of smart people. They understand better than the rest of us what kind of bird the emperor is. This is just to coax the common people so that they can maintain the Japanese cultural system and get a monarch who can provide them with adequate protection.
, As for the emperor, it’s not a big deal, just sacrifice it! He can’t stay in Japan anymore, but since we are all a family, I can give him some of my property, and since we are a family, I can give him a prince title
, the position of hereditary member of the House of Lords, if they still don’t agree to this, then they have no choice but to be sorry." Yang Feng said with a smile.
In fact, after Zhang Quan explained his idea to Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, the Prime Minister felt a sense of surprise. After China annexed Siam, he already knew that Japan was doomed this time. As a nation,
It doesn't matter to him that he joins China, and it is not a bad thing for Japan. It is absolutely cost-effective to hand over the power of diplomacy and declaration of war in exchange for a peaceful and stable environment. But how to ensure that the He people will not disappear among the Han people, this issue must be considered, Chinese history
Many ethnic groups that once dominated the world have disappeared among the Han people, not to mention that Japan is now in a weak position. If you want to maintain the independence of the He clan, you must continue to enshrine the emperor as a god. Without the emperor as a god,
The demise of the He clan will not take long.
Although for Prime Minister Saionji, who has 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 the inheritance of the nation, he must repeat this joke a thousand times or ten thousand times, Yang Feng said
Their first choice will definitely not work. It is tantamount to breaking the roots of Japanese culture, but if it doesn't work, they have nothing to do. Compared with national heritage, heads are obviously more important. If Yang Feng gets angry, he will beat them again.
What is lost is not just culture.
Now there is no need to worry about this problem. His Majesty the benevolent Emperor has given a solution. Although this solution is too unbelievable, it is also a method that can solve the problem. Of course, as Yang Feng himself said, this must be done by His Majesty the Emperor.
After making a sacrifice, not only he had to make a sacrifice, but the entire Imperial family had to make a sacrifice, because in the future the emperor's crown would definitely be worn on the heads of Yang Feng's descendants, which meant that the Imperial family was actually over, although Yang
The Emperor is also the Emperor and the incarnation of Amaterasu in the human world.
Next, the Japanese cabinet and parliament must persuade Meiji to accept this condition. In addition, they must build momentum for this myth system. Fortunately, with the support of People's Radio and Tomorrow Daily, it is very simple to fool the people. But the problem is that Emperor Meiji cannot stand it. Although Yang
Feng also left him a way out, and also 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. However, as a famous emperor who had worked hard to govern, Meiji
The emperor was determined not to accept such humiliation, let alone end the Japanese royal family in his own hands.
"You are shameless, so don't blame me for being rude. Wasn't a Monsanto employee murdered in Tokyo a few days ago? Should the Japanese government give an explanation for this matter?" Yang Feng said with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, that employee came out of the Geyin intoxicated and drowned in the Arakawa river because he couldn't see clearly." Zhang Quan said, holding back a smile.
"How is this possible? How could a senior engineer with a doctorate be drunk and drunk? How could such a living person walk and fall into the river? It is even more unbelievable that a person who can swim drowned. In short, there is something here
There must be a conspiracy, maybe it was done by some Japanese anti-China organizations, and the Japanese government's making such an investigation report is very suspected of covering up the anti-China organizations. It must be explained clearly, and the Chinese government must send people to investigate. Only in this way can we
Be truly fair." Yang Feng said grimly, his hegemonic face clearly revealed.
Zhang Quan was already very familiar with this kind of thing. Soon the major newspapers in China began to exaggerate the death of the engineer, and then raised various doubts and pointed the finger at the Japanese government. At the same time, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially notified the Japanese government,
It is required that China sends personnel to participate in the investigation of this case, otherwise fairness to the deceased cannot be guaranteed.
Of course, Prime Minister Saionji understands that this is just expressing His Majesty the Emperor's anger to Japan. First of all, he certainly cannot 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 when a Chinese citizen is killed in Japan.
After the investigation, it depends on whether the performance of the Japanese government can satisfy His Majesty the Emperor. If it can, then everyone will be happy with the investigation results. If not, then the investigation results must be related to the Japanese government, and then the next step should be China.
