World history is very interesting: Yuan Tengfei talks about Japanese history

Chapter 5
Incest has a long tradition

The first female emperor recorded in Japanese history books was Emperor Tuiko.In fact, Japan at that time had not yet begun to use the title of emperor, and the exact title should be King Tuigu.The time when she was in power corresponds to the Sui Dynasty in Chinese history.

Why did Japan suddenly have a female emperor?In fact, the reason is very simple. The male royal family members were basically wiped out. The so-called Shuzhong had no generals, and Liao Hua was the vanguard, so he had to come up with such a female emperor.

The emperors of ancient Japan actually had nothing to do and no power.In ancient Japan, people's surnames were divided by occupation. At that time, there were eight surnames in Japan, Chen, Lian, Jun, Bie, Zhi, Shou, Zao, and Shi.Among them, ministers, companies, and emperors are the highest ranks. Ministers are in charge of administration, companies are soldiers, and emperors are in charge of sacrifices. The heads of these ministers, companies, and emperors like to add a big character in front of their surnames.

We Chinese call Japan Little Japan, but it calls itself the Great Japanese Empire. In fact, it was the same in ancient China.In Japan at that time, the maharajas, ministers, and Dalian became the de facto rulers.Such a bunch is big, you are big and I am big, who is the biggest?In fact, the minister and Dalian are relatively more valuable, because the maharaja kowtows to the gods all day long and has no real power.The real power is in the hands of ministers and Dalian.Over time, they will definitely have a rift, and they understand each other very well that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and if two heroes do not stand side by side, sooner or later there will be two big and one big left.Moreover, both the minister and Dalian are hereditary, so it is certain that the two families pinch each other.

In the era of Emperor Keti in Japan, the minister was the Soga family, and Dalian was the Monobe family.Su Wo was not as strong as Monobe in the beginning, so I tried my best to turn Xianyu over.Mrs. Suga married all three daughters to the royal family. What is particularly funny is that he married the eldest daughter and the second daughter to the son of Emperor Jitai, while the third daughter married the grandson of Emperor Jitai. That is to say, the elder sisters It became a mother-in-law relationship.Regardless of whether it is the eldest sister, the second sister or the third sister, the husband's family who married eventually became the emperor, that is to say, the sons-in-law of the Soga family have all served as the emperor at different times.In this way, the Su Wo family has become a relative of the emperor, with a respected status.

In addition, the Suga family has mastered the people who came to Japan from China and the Korean peninsula to escape the war.These immigrants belonged to skilled immigrants, and they were closely united around the ministers centered on the Soga family. The Soga family had mastered Japan's advanced productive forces.In addition, the Soga family believed in Buddhism passed down from Baekje, while the Monobe family insisted on believing in traditional Japanese Shintoism.Shintoism is closer to primitive religions, and it is in the initial stage of religious development. Compared with Buddhism, which has a large and complete system and sophisticated philosophical thinking, it is simply a child's science.

The Soga clan was not only a relative of the emperor, but also mastered the most advanced production technology in Japan at that time, and also had an advantage in the spiritual field, and its power was growing.After the death of Emperor Jiti, the eldest son-in-law and second son-in-law of the Soga clan, Emperor Kinmei, succeeded him.The eldest and second daughters of the Su family gave him five sons and two daughters, but it was a pity that Emperor Qinming died short-lived.When Emperor Kinmei died, Emperor Minda succeeded him.Emperor Minda originally had a daughter-in-law, but he especially liked his half-sister Yaiyahime.

The Japanese royal family has a long tradition of incest. In the history of the world, ancient Egypt also had such a tradition.In addition, the Goryeo Kingdom established by Wang Jian also had this tradition of intermarriage between brothers and sisters, but their intermarriage was to avoid the monopoly of foreign relatives, and both the foreign relatives and the royal family came from one family.The tradition of intermarriage among Japanese royal families is endless. Like ancient Egypt, it is to maintain the purity of blood.

Emperor Minda saw that his younger sister was born with a beautiful country, a beautiful country, a gentle lady, and a gentleman, so he took her in without hesitation after he ascended the throne.It's a pity that Emperor Minda was also a short-lived ghost. After marrying his little sister, he died soon after marrying his little sister.

Attempted Rape Complaint

At that time, there was a custom in Japan that when the monarch died, he could not be buried immediately, but had to be put in the palace for three years for everyone to look up to.Sui Wuji had just become an imperial concubine when her husband passed away. She was very sad and kept her filial piety in the palace.I didn't expect that Jiwu Ji would provoke someone's lust when she was keeping her filial piety. Who would it be?Her younger brother, Prince Anahobe.

Prince Anahobe has been thinking about his beautiful sister and sister-in-law for a long time.When he saw his beautiful elder sister and sister-in-law living alone in the empty hall, he thought there was an opportunity, so instead of shooting guns, he worked quietly, sneaked into the side hall, and wanted to attack Cook House Ji.Unexpectedly, Ji Yaji was still very virtuous, and would not obey orders even if she was beaten to death.

At this critical juncture, Miwa, the former favorite of Emperor Minda, heard the movement, and rushed to check it out, and threw Prince Anahobe out.Originally, it was a heinous crime to break into the funeral palace of Emperor Daxing, not to mention wanting to molest the imperial concubine, this crime is too great.If this matter is settled, Anahobe will lose his head.But Anahobe was very cunning, and he bit back, the villain first sued, accusing Sanwa of being rude, and even blocked himself from saluting to the emperor Daxing's spiritual throne.

Anahobe said it with both voice and emotion: On that night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, which was a very suitable night for doing bad things, because I couldn't stop thinking about the late emperor's brother, I wanted to go to the late emperor's brother's widow to mess around... …ah!No, correct me, I just want to go to the remains of the former emperor's brother to pay tribute to him.Unexpectedly, he was blocked by three rounds.

What he said was completely confusing black and white.Minister Suwo and Dalian Monobe knew that Anahobe was not a joke, but they all nodded their heads because they hated Miwa too much, and Miwa was too favored when Emperor Minda was alive.The two chose to believe Anaobe's nonsense and executed Miwa.

Now Cook House Ji quit!He gritted his teeth with hatred, vowed not to avenge this revenge, and vowed not to be human.

After the death of Emperor Minda, he was succeeded by Emperor Tomorrow, but his body was relatively weak, and he began to fall ill within two years, and he couldn't afford it.If Emperor Ming dies again, then Anahobe should succeed him.Ji Ya Ji absolutely cannot tolerate this Anahobe, who has a grudge against her, succeeding to the throne. She hopes that the son of Emperor Minda or the youngest brother, Prince Bosebe, will succeed to the throne.

Anahobe knew that Ji Yaya hated him, and also knew that because of his bad reputation, the ministers had no intention of letting him succeed him, so he was very anxious.At that time, Soga was the uncle of Hime Yakitori and Anahobe, but the uncle did not like to see the nephew Anahobe very much.In order to protect himself, Anahobe had to turn to his uncle's enemy Monobe.

Monobe-san was already upset at seeing Soga-san. Seeing that Soga-san's power is getting stronger day by day, Monobe-san is getting angry. Now, there is an internal response in the enemy's camp, and he is in the right place. The two sides hit it off and prepare to fight. Suppress the Soga family, kill Yaiya Ji and his gang, and establish Prince Ana Hobe as the emperor.

The father-in-law killed the son-in-law
However, the Suga family is too powerful, with many spies, and the spy work is done very well, and they quickly learned about the Monobe's conspiracy.

After the death of Emperor Yumei, the Soga family quickly supported the youngest brother of Emperor Yumei, Bosebe, as the emperor, and then sent his troops to take the Monobe family.The Monobe clan did not expect that the Soga clan would send troops suddenly, and panicked for a moment. Facing the Soga clan's army, they couldn't resist at all, but it was a matter of life and death, so they had to fight back desperately.

In the Su Wo camp, there was a young general with both civil and military skills. He was the nephew of Suiwuji, Prince Suohu.Prince Stableto believes in Buddhism and wears the wooden statue of the Four Heavenly Kings carved by himself on weekdays. Before each battle, he caresses the wooden statue and prays with the Buddha's name in his mouth to ensure that he will be victorious in every battle.When the fierce battle was in full swing, Prince Stableto happened to see the Patriarch of the Monobe Clan riding a horse to supervise the battle, so he bent his bow and set up an arrow, secretly praying for the manifestation of the Four Heavenly Kings, and shot an arrow, which hit the Patriarch of the Monobe Clan's heart. The head of the Monobe family turned over and fell.When Monobe's subordinates saw that the main general was dead, they quickly dispersed like birds and beasts.After the Monobe family was pacified, Japan no longer set up the post of Dalian, and even the surname "Lian" disappeared.

The successor to the throne was the prince of Bosebe, Emperor Suzuki, who was also the son-in-law of the Soga family.After the Suga family pacified the Monobe family, they became even more domineering, and they were the only ones, and they didn't pay attention to the emperor at all.Emperor Chongjun was very afraid. The Suga family could let him sit on the throne, and he could abolish him at any time.In order to protect himself, Emperor Chongjun secretly contacted Dongguo to contain Suga.

Once the people of Dongguo presented a live wild boar. Emperor Chongjun was very happy. The young man had no castle, so he came down to the palace as soon as he was happy. He pulled out his sword and cut off the head of the wild boar with a click of the sword. Then he waved the sword happily Shouting: One day I'm going to chop off that nasty guy's head like this pig's head.

Mr. Su'er has many eyes and ears, and these words quickly reached Mr. Su'er's ears.Su Wo was taken aback, my God, this son-in-law is really not a thing, he thinks about killing his father-in-law all day long, if this thief is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles.Suga immediately drew up a plan of action and assigned Naoko, the second most powerful general under his command, to stab Emperor Sujun to death.

To say that this straight horse is not an ordinary "two", after assassinating Emperor Chongjun, he actually entered the palace and molested the imperial concubine.Mrs. Su was about to explode, thinking that I just sent you to assassinate my son-in-law, Emperor Chongjun, and didn't let you mess with the imperial concubine, who is my own daughter!

With an order, Mrs. Su tied Zhima to a tree. In a short time, thousands of arrows pierced through the heart and shot Zhima into a big hedgehog.

Prince Shotoku is a bull

Once Emperor Chongjun died, the few princes who were qualified to succeed him were also scattered. Sun Ye is also unreliable, and may become the same mortal enemy as Emperor Chongjun in the future.Under such circumstances, it is best to establish one's own relatives to inherit the throne, so who is this relative?They are Lao Su's granddaughter, and Xiao Su's niece, Su Wuji.

Chiwuji is the niece of Su Womazi. She was widowed in her early years, and she is very respectful and considerate to her uncle who has power over her.Gossip news circulated in the market, saying that the nephew and uncle were not clean.In view of the endless messy things happening in the Japanese royal family, the rumors of Ji Yaji and her uncle are entirely possible.

Furthermore, according to the royal family, Ji Yaji is the granddaughter of Emperor Jitai, the beloved daughter of Emperor Kinmei, and the queen of Emperor Minda, and it is justified to support her as the emperor.As a result, Ji Yaji officially joined the Datong and became the first female emperor in Japanese history.

Emperor Tuigu succeeded to the throne at the age of 40. He is already a middle-aged lady, and he has experienced the joys and sorrows of the world. It should be said that his ruling style is relatively mature.During her 36 years in power, Japan's culture developed and its economy prospered, which can be regarded as a ruling period in Japanese history.The greatest achievement of Jiwuji lies in the appointment of the stable household prince (that is, the sharp archer we mentioned earlier) as the regent, and she retreats behind the scenes to practice the vain monarchy.

Some people believe that the tradition of Japan's virtual monarchy began here.

Prince Sudoto is a very beloved figure in Japanese history, known as Prince Shotoku.It is said that he can recite Buddhist scriptures at the age of three, and he is a rare handsome man in the world. His portrait is on the old Japanese yen issued before World War II.It is also said that he wears body incense and is a learned man. Many famous Buddhist temples in Japan were built by him.

China at that time was the era of Emperor Sui Yang.Prince Suihu sent envoys to the Sui Dynasty many times to learn the etiquette of the Sui Dynasty.In the history of Japan, he formulated seventeen articles of the constitution and twelve ranks of crowns, establishing Japan's national title.The name of the country was originally called Wa, and from this time it was called Japan.Prince Shotoku also introduced the Chinese calendar.

Although Prince Shotoku was a commendable figure in Japanese history, due to the great power of the Soga clan at that time, Prince Shotoku was unable to achieve his ambitions, and was also very depressed under the control of the Soga clan, so he died in Pushing the front of the ancient emperor, he was only 49 years old.Prince Shotoku is his posthumous title after death.

Emperor Tuiko died six years after the death of Prince Shotoku at the age of 76, which was considered a long life in that era.When she died, Japan fell into chaos again.
