While the action of occupying the stronghold was progressing steadily, Li Mu also did another thing. That is, he overthrew the Japanese "emperor" theory and reshaped the Japanese political system.
In fact, in the early Tang Dynasty, the theory of the emperor of Japan had just appeared. The first person to propose the theory of "emperor" was none other than Prince Shotoku, the father of Yamabei Daixiong. When he was regent of Japan, he wrote
A letter of credence was given to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. The letter of credence said, "The Emperor of the East respects the Emperor of the West." This aroused the anger of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
At the same time, Prince Shotoku also did something that can be said to have started the source of fraud in the Japanese country. In order to let future generations accept the "Emperor", he created the legal rationale of "Emperor's power is granted by heaven". He borrowed the Taoist theory of Xin Younian
, compiled the "Emperor Chronicle". In the ninth year of the ancient history, the year of Xinyou, Prince Shotoku implemented reforms in Ikaruga Palace. Because the year of Xinyou occurs once every sixty years, it is also called a round. According to Taoism, each round of Xinyou
The You year is the year of change. The Xin You year of the 21st cycle is the year of radical changes. Therefore, Prince Shotoku took the ninth year as the year.asxs. and then moved up to the 21st year.
The Xinyou year was the year when the Japanese nation was founded. The first day of the first lunar month of that year was designated as the day when Emperor Jimmu ascended to the throne. According to this calculation method, the imperial line was extrapolated by about one thousand years.
During this thousand-year gap, the Japanese state did not have any written records. In order to fill this gap, he artificially inserted more than ten fictitious emperors. He also compiled a chronological story for each emperor, which is worthy of mentioning.
He is called an old gunman. Prince Shotoku compiled the history of Japan according to this logic. Moreover, he burned almost all the folk historical materials he could find, so that the history he compiled became the only historical basis that future generations can find.
But in fact, how could the Japanese country have such a long history? The real evidence of the emperor can only be found starting from the 15th generation of Emperor Yingshen.
Emperor Yingshen has a mausoleum extant, and historical records are relatively complete. He developed ponds and ditches, built water conservancy projects, and vigorously developed agriculture. In the 16th year of Yingshen, Wang Ren, a native of Baekje, carried 10 volumes of "The Analects of Confucius" and "Thousand Characters"
"Wen" Volume 1 came to the Japanese Kingdom, and Chinese characters began to be introduced into the Japanese Kingdom. The Japanese Kingdom began to use Chinese characters - official documents were in Chinese characters, and Chinese characters were used to notate Japanese. The Yingshen Era corresponded to the Three Kingdoms period in the Central Plains. A large number of coastal people had no way out due to war.
, these people brought advanced culture and production technology to the Japanese country, which greatly promoted the development of the Japanese country. It was also at this time that the Japanese country began to consciously send personnel to the Central Plains for exchanges.
From the end of the Three Kingdoms to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the history does not exceed three hundred years at most. Compared with the vastness of China, it is nothing to mention.
The theory of the emperor only appeared less than a hundred years ago. Even in the Japanese country, it is not deeply rooted. Most Japanese people still only regard themselves as subjects of Yamato and do not care much about the emperor.
This was also the basis for Li Mu's determination to overthrow the Emperor's theory. After all, if the people already agreed with the Emperor's theory, it was difficult to force changes. If he wanted to colonize the Japanese country, it was very important not to arouse public anger.
After so many days of investigation and research, Li Mu summed up a lot of experience. One of the most obvious manifestations is that the Japanese people are still very convinced of the Celestial Kingdom. They have infinite yearning for the Central Plains, and anyone who has anything to do with the Central Plains
It's something they all yearn for.
Some people who moved to Japan a few generations ago are still proud of their ancestors' descent from the Central Plains. There are even many people who join the camp of Brother Shanbei. They are not doing it for Brother Shanbei at all, but to stand on his side.
The Tang Dynasty on the other side did not believe at all that Su Wo and his son could start a war with the Heavenly Kingdom. The visual impact of the huge Ten Thousand Stone Ship made them unswervingly believe in the strength of the Heavenly Kingdom.
is infinite.
In this regard, the Japanese countries of later generations were no different.
Li Mu took advantage of this and gave both kindness and power. He gave the Japanese people who were pro-Tang Dynasty a channel to "promote", while at the same time deepening the gap and maintaining the generation gap between the two countries. The technology and any form of help he gave to the Japanese people were of great significance.
The eliminated products of the Tang Dynasty. Let the Japanese people always maintain their yearning for the Tang Dynasty, solidify this concept, and make it deeply ingrained.
On the other hand, he also started to use his brain on legal principles.
He gathered scholars from the Japanese Kingdom and re-edited the history of the Japanese Kingdom. Although it is difficult to find folk historical materials, people can still find them. Many of them even participated in the compilation of the history of the Japanese Kingdom by Prince Shotoku. After all, Prince Shotoku was the only one in the history of Japan.
They had only been dead for a few years, but these people were still living quite normally.
Li Mu paid considerable respect to these scholars. He did not force these scholars to tamper with historical materials like Prince Shotoku, but hoped that they would use a rigorous attitude to re-revise the history of Japan. Because Li Mu knew in his heart that if Prince Shotoku’s falsification was excluded,
Of these, there is nothing praiseworthy about the history of Japan, and it is closely related to the Central Plains Dynasty.
The scholars he found were all people who were dissatisfied with Prince Shotoku's tampering with history. They dared not speak out in anger at that time, but now with Li Mu and the support of the Tang Dynasty, each one of them is holding back and complaining about the tampering.
The idea of correcting history does not require anyone to supervise, and there is no slightest hesitation.
Soon, they refuted the dozen or so emperors that Prince Shotoku had painstakingly 'created' one by one. Just as Li Mu remembered, they shortened the history of this current line of emperors to the fifteenth generation, and,
The age of the fifteenth emperor has been revised.
In the history compiled by Prince Shotoku, Emperor Ogami lived to be one hundred and ten years old, which was almost an impossible age in ancient times. After the revision, this age became sixty-nine. Although he was not young, he was relatively
It's much more reliable.
At the same time, they dug deep into history and called the Japanese state before Emperor Ongami the ancient Japanese state. In their definition, the ancient Japanese state was a union composed of hundreds of countries, large and small. There is evidence for this.
Yes, some people have seen that Prince Shotoku has a seal with five words engraved on it, King of the Han Dynasty. And the seal was found in the books Li Mu brought with him on the ship.
"Hanshu Geography" records: "There are Japanese people in the Lelang Sea, who are divided into more than a hundred countries and offer sacrifices according to the age of the year."
"Book of the Later Han·Biographies of Dongyi" "In the second year of Jianwu Zhongyuan, the Japanese slave country paid tribute and congratulated him, and made him call himself a doctor, and Guangwu gave him a seal and ribbon."
These records can restore a fact. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were hundreds of ancient Japanese kingdoms. One of the larger tribal kings relied on the authority of the powerful Han Empire to gain a position above other tribal kingdoms.
, so he sent an envoy to pay a visit to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty commended him for his respect for coming from afar, awarded him a gold seal, and named him Japanese. At the same time, it also reflected another fact, that is, the Japanese country at that time was still a slave society.
Because there is such a record in "Three Kingdoms Wei Shu": "The Japanese are in the southeast sea of Daifang,... (the countries) do not steal, and rarely file lawsuits. If they violate the law, the minor ones will lose their wives, and the serious ones will destroy them."
The family, the clan, and the hierarchy have their own order, and they must submit to each other...When the subordinates meet the elders on the road, they wander into the grass. They pass speeches and say things, squatting or kneeling, putting their hands on the ground, and respecting them."
Based on these textual researches, we can draw a conclusion. That is, the current emperor's line is one of the hundreds of small countries that had the support of the Central Plains Dynasty and unified the Japanese country. Otherwise, how can we explain that Prince Shotoku has "Han" in his hands?
The King of Weensu's seal says this?
When Emperor Yingshen unified the Japanese kingdom and established the Emperor's line, it coincided with the war in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Emperor's line no longer relied on the Central Plains and became its own faction. Only then did Prince Shotoku engage in fraud.
Advocate for things that will last forever.
The real situation is that the king of Japan must be recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty in order to have legal legitimacy. Prince Shotoku may have realized this and wanted future generations to escape from the shackles, so he chose to make it up randomly.
What Li Mu has to do is to set things right, get rid of the stories fabricated by Prince Shotoku, and restore the true nature of history. Now the core issue is clear. If you want to prove that what the scholars say is based on evidence, just look for the gold seal.
Just come out.
Li Mu asked the eldest brother Shanbei King if he had seen the gold seal. The eldest brother Shanbei King said he had seen it, and described the appearance, size, weight, etc. of the gold seal, which was exactly the same as the scholar who raised the matter.
Not bad. But when asked where the gold seal was, he couldn't tell clearly.
When Soga Ezo established the new emperor, all these things fell into his hands. Maybe he gave the gold seal to the current Emperor Shumei, or maybe he kept the gold seal privately.
These are all things that cannot be said for sure.
However, the current emperor's imperial residence is in Edo, which is not very close, and it is the headquarters of the Soga clan, so there must be a handle. It is extremely difficult to find a small piece of gold and silver.
Just when Li Mu was at a loss, the ship returning to Yangzhou Port came back full of supplies. Along with the ship, there were Dugu Jiu and 20 secret guards. Dugu Jiu was escorting Bai Qiaoqiao and others to Yangzhou.
Yes, after arriving in Yangzhou, I happened to meet Mrs. Lu who came to Yangzhou to see her son. The bearded man was always by Mrs. Lu's side. With him around, even if all the gangsters came, they would definitely not be able to get close, and there would be no need for Dugujiu's protection.
Just as the ship returned to port, Dugujiu followed the ship.
The three brothers had not seen each other for many days, so it was natural that they had to pick up the slack. Seeing that Li Mu was unhappy, Dugujiu asked why. Li Chongyi told Li Mu about the difficulties he encountered, and Dugujiu laughed. He asked Li Mu to wait, and soon he pulled one over.
The little man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks came over.
"Brother, let me introduce to you. This is my secret guard. His surname is Shi, and his name is Shi San'er. He is a man with special skills. Do you have any impression of him?"
"Shi San'er?" Li Mu looked at Shi San'er and thought to himself, I don't know Shi San'er, but I do recognize Shi Qian - but after staring at this person carefully for a while, Li Mu remembered and pointed at Shi Qian.
San'er said: "When I was in the Dali Temple prison, did you dig a hole in to rescue me?"
Shi San'er grinned and said: "It's just the villain. He was working under Shopkeeper Bai at that time. Now, thanks to the support of the governor, he is already a member of the secret guard." Just when Li Mu was at his wits' end, the ship returned to Yangzhou Port.
The ship came back full of supplies. Along with the ship, there were Dugujiu and twenty secret guards. Dugujiu escorted Bai Qiaoqiao and others to Yangzhou. After arriving in Yangzhou, he happened to meet the people who came to Yangzhou.
Mrs. Lu is looking after her son. The bearded guest has always been by Mrs. Lu's side. As long as he is around, even if all the gangsters come, they will definitely not be able to get close. There is no need for Dugujiu to protect him. The ship just returned to port, and Dugujiu followed the ship.
