Chapter 4

Treat your own sister as a love sister

There is an old Chinese saying that when you are full, you think about lust, but when you are hungry and cold, you steal your heart.With the prosperity of the national power, Japan has become full and warm. Of course, the emperor took the lead in realizing the full warmth, and then the emperor became lustful.

At that time, Emperor Nintoku's empress, Pan Ji, was born in a famous family, talented and beautiful, and was extremely jealous. She was a big jealousy. She took strict precautions around the emperor and set up a firewall to prevent the emperor from contacting other girls.But as the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and being able to steal is worse than not being able to steal.At the beginning, these measures of the queen were effective, and it was more difficult for the emperor to steal fish, but as time went by, it was always impossible to guard against.

Emperor Nintoku had a half-sister named Hatta.It is said that the Hatta princess is outstanding in appearance, and she has been unclean with her brother for a long time. Because the Japanese royal family has a tradition of intermarriage between brothers and sisters, brother-sister incest is also very common.But after the Empress discovered that Hatta had an affair with Emperor Nintoku, the Empress became jealous and demoted her to the countryside.The queen originally thought that in this way, the brother-sister relationship could be severed, but it is not as good as the sky.

There is a very important festival in Japan called the New Taste Festival, and the emperor usually has a big banquet for his ministers.Generally speaking, the banquet of this festival is organized by the queen, and one of the dishes must be made with cypress leaves that are only found at the foot of Kumano Mountain.In order to hold the banquet well, the queen personally led the team, accompanied by the maids, to Kumano Mountain to pick cypress leaves.

Emperor Nintoku was overjoyed when the empress left, the tigress was no longer by his side, it was time for him to be free, and he immediately thought of his imperial sister Hatta, who was assigned to the countryside.Emperor Nintoku hurriedly sent someone to take Princess Hatta into the palace at a high speed.However, the empress had already set up a firewall around the emperor, and she had a lot of eyes and ears.Seeing the emperor doing this, the queen's eyeliner caught up with the queen and told her that something was wrong, and the emperor brought his sister back to the palace.

At that time, the queen had already picked a boatload of cypress leaves, and was walking happily on the way back.As soon as he heard that his firewall failed, the vixen returned to the palace again, and in a rage, he threw all the hard-picked cypress leaves into the sea.Originally, the queen was going to abandon the boat and board the car to return to the capital, but now she simply changed the route and took the boat back to her natal home.

When Emperor Nintoku heard that the empress had returned to her natal family, she was terrified.why?Because after all, the emperor wants to maintain his position in the hearts of the people.Although as long as there are human beings, there will be the phenomenon of picking up sisters, and even many incidents of picking up girls in ancient and modern China and abroad have become anecdotes that have been passed down through the ages. However, what others think of is the love sister, but Emperor Nintoku is lucky, and it is the same father's younger sister. At what time and in what dynasty, this cannot be brought to the fore.What's more, the relationship with the queen for more than ten years is not easy to let go, so I sent someone to the queen's natal house to pick the queen back.

Of course the queen had to be reasonable and refused to come back, so the emissary had to come back and reply: the humble minister is incompetent, and the queen refused to come back.

Queen is jealous

A year passed in a blink of an eye, and Emperor Nintoku missed the empress so he sent the envoy to pick her up at the empress's natal home. Those who have already encountered a setback once, do you think you can succeed?Hit the nails again and came back.

Now Emperor Nintoku was really anxious. Liu Xuande visited the thatched cottage twice, and he had to go again, and he had to send someone who could speak well.This time the envoy is not only eloquent, but his sister is also the queen's maid, and she has internal support, so he dared to pat his chest and tell the emperor that he will definitely be able to invite the queen back.

When the envoy arrived at the empress's natal home, he first encouraged the eloquent statement, and then used the relationship between the emperor and the empress to impress the empress.But no matter what the envoy said, the queen just said: No!

The envoy saw that the queen was determined to eat the weight, so what should I do?I can only fight a protracted battle, sit cross-legged on the ground, and talk endlessly there.The queen sat with her eyes closed and listened.

At this time, it was late autumn, and it happened that the wind and rain continued to hit the emissary, and the emissary's clothes were soaked, and a scarlet button on his clothes was also wet by the rain.The ancient dyeing technology was not advanced enough. As soon as the buttons were stained with rainwater, they began to fade and flow down the skirt. Because the buttons were red, the water that flowed down was like blood. It happened that the sister of the messenger was serving the queen by the side. Seeing this scene , Touching the scene, I chanted:
The majestic Tongcheng Palace, hard to say but in vain.Autumn rain turns into blood and tears, and Didi's heart is red.

After hearing this, the queen couldn't bear it, she turned her head and said to the court lady: "Let your brother go back, don't just sit there and talk nonsense, I will never compromise with the emperor."

At this point, the messenger can only give up the mission.The queen passed on the decree and never returned to the palace, so he had no choice but to return to Beijing to return to the emperor.The problem is that the cowhide has been blown out long ago. If you go back and tell the truth to the emperor, what should you do if the emperor blames you?The envoy thought for a while and had an idea. After seeing Emperor Nintoku, he told the emperor: I saw a strange insect in the queen's palace, which looked like a snake, and then turned into an egg, and then turned into a bird. I have to rush back to report, Majesty, you can go and see for yourself.

The envoy wanted to use this to attract the emperor, and to cover up his failure to complete the task.After hearing what the envoy said, the emperor became very curious, and immediately decided to take a look at the strange insect himself, and of course he wanted to invite the queen back.The Emperor of Heaven visited his wife's natal home, saw the queen, and also saw the strange insect that the prince of Baekje secretly gave to the queen, which is actually what we call silkworms.The queen didn't know whether it was because she was too jealous or because she hated Rende's betrayal. Anyway, she didn't want to go back to the palace, but she couldn't let the emperor come here for nothing. take away.

The emperor saw that the queen's heart was as hard as iron, and it was difficult to reunite the broken mirror, so he had to take the silkworm back carefully.Since then, Japan has had silkworm and silk reeling technology.Although the queen's heart is as hard as a stone, she can't stop the melancholy tears shed every day.Soon after the emperor returned to the palace, the empress fell into depression and died.

In the third year after the queen's death, Emperor Nintoku officially made his beloved sister Hatta the queen.Princess Hatta finally achieved the right result.

A murder caused by incest

However, the back seat of Princess Hatta is not secure, why?Because her brother and husband, Emperor Nintoku, is not only a passionate seed, but also has a serious sister-in-law complex.

Empress Hatta has a little sister who is even more beautiful and beautiful. After Emperor Nintoku saw it, his heart began to itch, and he immediately began to plan to launch a general courtship mobilization for this little sister.Emperor Nintoku asked his younger brother Falcon to pass the song to the young and beautiful imperial sister on his behalf.Falcon was originally a handsome prince. He went to pimp at the emperor's order and made himself very beautiful. When he arrived at the royal sister's house, the two of them immediately met each other. lover.

Emperor Nintoku waited a long time for the imperial sister not to come, and was very anxious, so he went to the imperial sister's house in a low-key private visit, and heard his younger brother Falcon flirting with the imperial sister through the door.Emperor Nintoku was furious for a moment—it’s really unreasonable, you kid came to pimp on my order, but you got there first—rushed into the door, drew his sword and chopped it off.But Falcon is young and has good legs and feet, so he ran away with the little queen.Emperor Nintoku was even more angry, and appointed two generals to chase after him.

Before the two generals left, Queen Hatta told them with tears, you can commit murder, but don't insult my sister.The two generals were ordered to chase the couple all the way to the mountains and kill the couple.Although the two were repeatedly told by the empress not to insult the imperial sister, but at this time everyone was killed, so they couldn't control so much. They stripped the imperial sister's clothes and snatched all the gold and silver jewelry that was close to her body.

In a blink of an eye, the annual New Taste Festival in Japan came again. Empress Hatta gave a banquet to all the ministers, and the female relatives were all dressed up in fancy dress.Empress Hatta has a sweet mouth and is very good at being a person. When she sees a family's female family members with beautiful clothes, she will give a few compliments.At this time, a court lady came up, took a bracelet and said, what do you think of my bracelet, queen?The queen fainted when she saw it. This bracelet is exactly what her little sister wears next to her body all year round.After being severely questioned, she found out that the lady's bracelet was borrowed, and she wanted to show off, just like how many girls rent luxury goods for dinners nowadays.Who did you borrow it from?It was borrowed from one of the two generals who were ordered to chase after the imperial sister.Don't ask, this general must have snatched it from the little imperial sister.Therefore, the queen ordered the execution of the two generals.

Because Emperor Nintoku loved his younger sister, he not only killed the queen in anger, but also killed the little emperor's sister and emperor's brother, and two generals were executed.Therefore, the ancient Japanese history books say that the rich do not commit adultery, do not envy, and do not steal.
