Chapter 143: The Kingdom of Wa (2) At this time, although the Wa Kingdom also had the power to control the government, the emperor was a real emperor and had enough real power, but sometimes he was controlled by the ministers, but the emperor could take the power back.
The most typical example is the Dahua reform, when the Su I clan was in power, the emperor was set up to become a mascot, and the eldest brother prince united with the middle minister Kamazu to launch a coup d'état, killed the powerful minister Su I into the deer, forced his father Su I Ezo to death, and supported the light prince as the emperor of heaven, which is now the emperor of filial piety.
Although today's Wa Kingdom has not been renovated, but the same Su I into the deer and his father Su I Ezo was also slaughtered by Li Zhen twenty years ago, at that time Su I into the deer Although he was born, but he was still just a bear child, and he couldn't control the Su I clan at all.
And as the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, and at the peak is that Su I clan has no one in power, and was quickly defeated by political opponents, and quickly fell down, Su I became a small aristocratic young master, and he was no longer the domineering generation of powerful ministers in history.
However, there was no Su I into the deer, but the courtier clan that defeated the Su I clan at that time quickly took power and continued to erect the emperor of heaven, so the coup d'état of the eldest brother prince was still carried out, and Emperor Xiaode also successfully became the emperor of heaven, but the country name is no longer Dahua, so there is no Dahua reform.
But the Wa Kingdom has always been a nation that likes to learn, which is irrefutable, so although there is no Dahua reform, but Emperor Xiaode has carried out a functional change a few years ago, the same is to imitate the Tang Dynasty, just because of the bad relations with the Tang Dynasty, unable to send Tang envoys, there is no accurate data template, so although the functional reform is also considered successful, improving the domestic productivity, the people's living standards are gradually improving, it is also quite an achievement, but it is far from meeting the expectations of Emperor Xiaode, disappointed the nobles.
So after the failure, Emperor Xiaode * Emperor began a new round of reform, but this time they made sufficient preparations in advance, such as sending spies into Datang, let them go to Datang not for technology, of course, if there is a chance to get it, then it is naturally best, but if you can't touch it, forget it, the real goal of sending spies this time is the system of Datang, because after research, they found that the system is the foundation of a country, as long as the system is good, the country will definitely progress......
Some spies started from books, so all kinds of books in the Tang Dynasty were bought out by spies during that period of time (technical books were not made public, and the people could not buy them), from the "Tang Law Shu Yi" completed a year ago (the history was in the Yonghui period, so it is also called "Yonghui Shu Law", but now the history has long changed, "Tang Law Shu Yi" was written two years ahead of schedule) to some famous ministers' family mottos (such as Yan Zhitui's "Yan Family Motto"), a subset of the history of hundreds of schools, and then to celebrity biographies and even Zhiwei novels, Buddhist scriptures and Taoist texts were bought in large quantities - these were very ordinary books, and the Japanese only needed to find a spokesperson, and they could easily buy them.
Other spies visited around the Tang Dynasty, from myths and legends to folk history, to palace secrets, etc., all of which were collected by them, and even spies scattered money in the Tang Dynasty, made friends, and tried to get more advanced secrets - of course, these people ended badly, most of them were reported, arrested in prison, and never came out.
It is also through these classics that the Wa Kingdom discovered a secret of the rise of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Tang Dynasty is using the Han scholars, and it is with the support of these Han disciples that the Tang Dynasty not only got a large number of talents, but also got rid of the constraints of the aristocracy and could develop freely, which made the eyes of the Emperor Xiaode * * and the eldest brother prince (that is, the Emperor Tianzhi * Emperor) who had been looking for a way out for the Wa Kingdom, and got inspiration from it.
And this time the recruitment of the guards is an experiment of Emperor Xiaode * and the eldest brother of the prince, if they can really get talents from the commoners, then they will definitely not be stingy with their rewards.
Today, it is the day of the selection of the Emperor's Guard, and everyone gathers here early in the morning, although the Emperor's edict has stated that only teenagers under the age of twenty will be recruited, but there are still many samurai beyond this age group mixed in, some of them are family members who are about to enter the selection, and some of them are purely coming to see the excitement, of course, some are trying to fish in troubled waters, intending to hide their age, wanting to blend in the Guard, and so on.
Soon, more than 20,000 people had gathered outside the Imperial Palace, and for a while, it was so crowded that it almost filled the ring outside the Imperial Palace.
However, whether it is Emperor Xiaode* or the eldest brother of the prince, I am afraid that I did not expect that among these young people, some of them are people with ulterior motives, and they are not here to select the guards at all, but to sabotage and cause chaos.
Not far from the imperial residence, is the residence of the minister ("minister" in the Wa country is not a general reference, but the ancient Wa country of the special official name, after the monobe clan was punished, there is no "Dalian" position, "minister" is the highest official position), at this time the minister is naturally no longer Su I, nor is it a courtier, but a person named Ono girl.
Miss Ono is not a woman, but a man's name, but this clan seems to be particularly fond of such names, such as the Ono sister during the Sui Dynasty, and the Ono sister who had a conflict with Li Zhen in Dengzhou a few years ago, and almost asked for Li Zhen's life (this is a woman), plus the current Ono girl, and his younger brother Ono Niangzi, who served as a university liao, are all like this (note: except for Ono Sister, the rest of the names are made up, don't pursue these).
And Sister Ono is the niece of Miss Ono, to be honest, the Ono clan was able to sit in the position of minister at the beginning, thanks to the efforts of Sister Ono, the Ono family was on the side of the courtiers at that time.
If she hadn't mentioned it in time and let the family change camp stand on the side of the eldest brother prince, otherwise the Ono family might have been purged in the functional change, but now not only is the family fine, but also took a big advantage and became the top magnate of the Japanese country, and there is no better ending than this.
Since then, Sister Ono's status in the Ono family has soared, and she is known as the 'Great Wise Man' and is most respected by the family.
Even not only the Ono family, but even the outside know the wisdom of Ono's sisters, including Emperor Xiaode, who once asked her questions.
But what the entire Wa Kingdom and even the Ono family don't know is that the reason why Sister Ono can see the mystery is not her own ability, but the guidance of a master behind her back......
