1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Hirohito was once again fooled by the eloquent Fujiwara no Kanezane. (Huh? Why did I say "again"? How strange...)

Hirohito was of course aware that Russia had been providing aid to China. He even knew that the main recipient of their aid was the Kuomintang, not the Communist Party, and he even mocked the Soviet Union for this.

But he never expected that the American devils would get involved and even make plans to cultivate a new party to control China!

In this case, how can Japan, which claims to "liberate China, establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and lead the people of all Asia to the other shore of happiness" (Fujiwara version), lag behind the Americans and Russians?

In short, after some "careful" consideration, His Majesty the Emperor quickly agreed to many of Fujiwara no Kanezane's proposals, and later issued an imperial edict to the first group of Japanese immigrants who were preparing to go to Northeast China to "open up and cultivate land":

"...When you go to Manchuria, you must obey the local administration, abide by the law, treat people peacefully, and refrain from committing crimes... You must obey the orders of Prince Hachimangu Kanezane and must not disobey..."

This saved Fujiwara no Kanezane a lot of trouble in the future, leaving aside the fact that Hirohito, after chatting for a few words, turned the topic back to the "American Saint":

"...You'll definitely have to go then... But Kanemi, how credible do you think those rumors in the US are?"

What about "three bullets"; what about "God bless you"; what about "brilliant military force"; what about "the most beautiful woman in the world"...etc.

Even Hirohito thought it was so fake.

"Well, Your Majesty, I don't know what you're talking about, but this Springfield Saint must be very beautiful, and perhaps also very powerful, otherwise she wouldn't be able to subdue those old soldiers..."

After all, he had personally experienced the product, and Mr. Hoover had also tasted Springfield's little fists, so it was absolutely authentic and guaranteed.

"...But as for other things, like God bless you, I think they might be fabricated there..."

That’s right, hard-made!

Anyway, Haruta said that her body was upgraded in 2080 and can withstand ordinary rifle bullets.

Hehe, I wonder if shooting a bullet at my grandma would bounce back. I'll try it next time when I have time.

Hirohito did not understand that Americans were as superstitious as the Japanese, so he did not trust Fujiwara no Kanezane's "judgment";

The United States is a major technological and economic power (not counting its culture, which is generally believed to be cultureless at this time). How could everyone, from top to bottom, be deceived by such obvious "rumors" and "lies"?

Even if the ignorant people at the bottom are easily fooled, what about the upper class?

This is the case in Japan. The lower classes all believed that Hirohito was a descendant of Amaterasu, and they revered and worshipped him (at least before those great treason incidents).

But these bastards at the top...

The "Three Punches to the Emperor" incident didn't just happen in China. Judging others by his own experience, Hirohito didn't believe that the top leaders of the United States were as idiotic as the Japanese.

But all sources of intelligence have proven that the Americans truly believe that a saint has been born into the world;

Including many high-ranking American officials. This is very troublesome.

After the "Black Ship Incident," the Japanese admired and yearned for Americans. Just look at how many Japanese elites fled to the United States to settle down and even become naturalized citizens.

And in Japan, there has always been a voice that has never stopped and has many supporters:

Annex China, then compete with the European and American devils to divide the world; now, the European and American devils have a true saint, how can Japan compete with them!

Morale will collapse!

In fact, after more and more news of Haruta's deeds reached Japan, many people, especially Japanese Christians, began to clamor for "the kingdom of God" and "the victory of the United States."

It is conceivable that if the two sides really go to war, these people will probably all become "Japanese traitors" leading the American leader in the next second.

So, if Haruta is truly a saint, and if this saint one day performs an irrefutable "miracle" before the entire world, how should Japan respond?

Hirohito was very worried about this.

"What if it's true?"

Fujiwara Kanemi scratched his head:

"Hmm... Anyway, I don't think it's true. Even if it is true, I believe the great Imperial Army will not be afraid, because we have Amaterasu's blessing!"

I hope you can stay this naive forever...

Although he was "comforted" by Fujiwara no Kanezane, Hirohito was actually very clear that the Japanese imperial family might not be the "descendants of Amaterasu", at least they definitely did not have the blessing of God.

Otherwise, why did the Japanese imperial family always suffer from disasters? Why did their grandfather, Emperor Meiji, become a cripple, and their father, Emperor Taisho, become "stupid but wise, with all his limbs crooked"?

Otherwise, why would his health be so poor, and why has he become increasingly tired in recent times, even losing interest in having children with Empress Yoshiko?

All of this filled the superstitious Emperor with fear: Have I, we, the royal family, and Japan been abandoned by the gods? Why is there no saint in Japan?

Why didn't gods come to earth?

Thinking of this, Hirohito's chest tightened and his throat itched. He picked up a handkerchief and covered his mouth with it, coughing twice. He felt the handkerchief was a little wet, and when he looked down, he actually coughed up blood!

? ? ?

Looking at the bright red spot on the white handkerchief, His Majesty the Emperor was stunned for a few seconds. Then his eyes went dark and he fell forward and fainted, hitting the ground with a thud.

What the hell?

Fujiwara Kanezane was bewildered.

The palace servants rushed in upon hearing the noise and were horrified to see the Emperor lying on the ground and Fujiwara no Kanezane sitting opposite him.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Shut up! Listen to my orders! Call the imperial physician! Call the queen! All of you, guard the entrance to the palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission!"

"..Ah? Ah! Yes! Your Highness!"

The honorable Prince Kanezane began to issue orders, and everyone immediately felt more confident. Someone even asked cautiously:

"Your Highness, do you want to seal off the palace?"

"Baga! Do you want the whole world to know about this? No blockade, just keep it as usual!"

"....ocean!"

When Hirohito woke up again, the first thing he saw was Empress Nagako with red and swollen eyes from crying and the imperial physician who was taking his pulse, and then Fujiwara no Kanezane who was standing beside him with a stern face, directing the palace servants to do this and that.

Ah... indeed, he is a loyal pillar of the empire...

I guess the news of my coma again must not have leaked out... "Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Your Majesty is awake!"

"Hush! Be quiet!"

Hearing the sound, Fujiwara no Kanezane waved his hand to silence the crowd's screams, then ran to the imperial bed and had the imperial physician examine him. After confirming that he was alright, he dismissed the bystanders and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" "Kenji..."

Seeing the worry on Fujiwara no Kanezane's face ("Please don't die, I haven't had time to integrate my power yet. And if you die, who will I go to?"), Hirohito was deeply moved and heartbroken at the same time. He even made a hoarse voice and pretended to be leaving his last words:

"Kaneshi, I'm afraid I can't do it..." "Your Majesty!"

Empress Nagako cried out in grief, and seeing that she was about to start another round of crying, Fujiwara no Kanezane immediately became impatient:

"Queen! Get out! Let me talk to His Majesty alone!" Cry, cry, cry your mother's ass off.

Oh my god, the humanoid and the little mouse are better.

"Liangzi, get out."

Hirohito didn't care that his wife was scolded by an "outsider". Instead, he drove her out of the room and continued:

"Kanemi, I know my own body..."

"Your Majesty, don't say that. You have Amaterasu's blessing, and you will be safe."

Fujiwara Kanezane frowned and asked doubtfully:

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? I remember your health wasn't that bad, was it?"

演,

You are the one who dares to talk to me like that. Hirohito shook his head and became very direct in his words: "My health... has not been good since I was a child..."

"But, no matter how bad it is, it can't be this bad, right? Haven't you checked for other problems?"

As someone who knows history, Fujiwara no Kanezane knew very well that the old bastard Hirohito lived to be nearly 88 years old.

Well, the scourge will last for thousands of years!

Damn Mai Tian Huang, I'll find a chance to deal with you. "Uh..."

In fact, Hirohito himself was also puzzled by this and had the imperial physician investigate, but nothing was found. In the end, he could only attribute it to his own innate constitution.

After all, there are precedents set by our grandfather and father generations, and it is well known that members of the imperial family are in poor health and have difficulty in having offspring.

"Well..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane thought about it and made a suggestion:

"Your Majesty, how about this? My chief maid is proficient in Chinese medicine. Could you please have her come to the palace and examine you?"

"Chief? Oh, your family's...agent?" "Oh, Your Majesty, you actually know her?"

"Your father mentioned her when he last came to the palace to pay his respects. He praised her as your family's most trusted and capable retainer. I heard she's also very beautiful, right?"

"...Oh, I'm pretty good-looking, so I often wear a mask..."

While fooling around, Fujiwara Kanezane raised his eyebrows.

Fujiwara Arata—?

That old bastard? He came to the palace to pay his respects?

There is no "big festival", so why is he asking about safety? And he even specifically mentioned the agent?

What did the old man, a mere retainer who was nominally "in charge of internal affairs" (in reality, he had the power to manage everything), mention to Hirohito?

Not right.

Nine out of ten something is wrong.

Don't forget, last time when I half-jokingly said I wanted to be the emperor, that old bitch's reaction was very "normal"!

Considering the history of the Fujiwara family, its strange relationship with the imperial family, the vague "right of inheritance", and the last conversation, Fujiwara Kanezane suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

It should be...no way? Damn.

Go back and check.

"Anyway... Your Majesty, what do you think?" "...Okay, let her come and show me."

With the attitude of "try everything possible", His Majesty the Emperor agreed.

Soon, the agent who was waiting outside the Imperial Palace entered the palace, took Hirohito's pulse and drew his blood, and then got some Western medical instruments to pretend to examine him, and then whispered a few words in Fujiwara no Kanezane's ear.

Shit, I guessed it right.

Damn it, maybe that old bitch really did it. "Your Majesty, you've been poisoned."

Hirohito was stunned for two seconds, first showing an incredible expression, and then he became furious:

"Poisoned?! Who is it? What is it? Cough cough cough..." He coughed up some blood again.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are indeed poisoned." Fujiwara Kanezane said calmly:

"My maid told me that although we still can't find out what poison you were poisoned with or how you were poisoned, it is certain that you were poisoned."

"...I.…."

"Your Majesty, you need to rest and recuperate now. Don't get angry. And think about when the problem started, who came into contact with your food and water, and who is the most likely culprit?"

Without Fujiwara no Kanezane's deliberate guidance, the first and biggest suspect almost immediately emerged in Hirohito's mind:

His younger brother, Prince Chichibu, Yoshihito!

This person is the one who is most familiar with the Imperial Palace, has the strongest motivation to take action, and is the most ambitious!

Whether it was fighting with me for favor when I was a child, or beating the emperor with more than three punches;

(Yongren was physically strong and often beat the frail Hirohito when they were young. He only stopped after being taught a lesson.)

Or fabricate a little story that "Emperor Meiji loved Prince Yoshihito the most";

(In fact, Emperor Meiji never spoke to Emperor Yongren at all)

Or they promote themselves as "Sports Prince", "Celebrity Prince", "Crown Prince";

(Compared with Hirohito's shabby body and taciturnity, he showed that he was the most suitable candidate for the emperor)

All of this shows the ambition of that bastard!

Hirohito will never forget how Yongren was busy colluding and even making preparations for the succession when he and Yoshiko vomited blood and fainted a few months ago while trying to conceive.

Damn Yongren!

In order to ascend the throne, you actually dared to poison me!
