1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Hirohito's anger burned fiercely, but was partially extinguished by Fujiwara Kanezane's greeting:

"Your Majesty? Are you feeling unwell? How about I withdraw first and let you rest?"

How great it would be if he was Yongren...Hirohito shook his head:

"I'm fine... Kanemi, would you find it strange if I told you that it was that guy who attacked me?"

"...That guy, you mean..."

His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat dissatisfied:

"Do I really have to explain it so clearly?"

"...Jun Gong?" (Prince Chichibu Yoshihito's nickname and honorific title)... Yeah, it's him, no surprise!"

Hirohito gritted his teeth.

If Yongren dared to show up at this moment, he might be hacked to death.

"

Wuhu.

Sure enough, the information was correct!

The conflict between these two brothers was much greater than that between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Well, anyway, among the four Hirohito brothers (Hirohito, Yoshihito, Xuanjin, and Chongjin), the only one who could threaten the throne was Prince Chichibu Yoshihito, who was at odds with Fujiwara no Kanezane.

Although that person is also an idiot, he is in better health after all. If he succeeds to the throne, he will be a greater threat;

Besides, it's better to let these two guys fight than to divert Hirohito's attention elsewhere, right?

Therefore, I swear to defend His Majesty Hirohito's throne to the death! I am the number one royalist!

I am the only one who can explode the emperor... No, Bao!

Although he successfully led Hirohito to suspect a certain target so as not to implicate himself and the old bitch in his family, Fujiwara no Kanezane quickly persuaded the furious Emperor to summon Hirohito to the Imperial Palace immediately:

"Your Majesty, without evidence, it will be difficult to resolve this situation, let alone touch His Majesty Chichibu. Moreover, this is a major scandal for the royal family."

After hearing this, Hirohito's mind became clearer. Yes, everything is just suspicion now, so it's not feasible yet.

Although he was the emperor, he could not "insult" or even punish his own brother without clear evidence;

It can even be said that even with clear evidence, Hirohito's punishment for Yongren would at most be "confinement" and then slowly and quietly dealing with him - the usual "sudden death"!

The two have always hated each other since childhood.

The powerful Hirohito did not deal with Yongren, and let him live and kick ass until now. Is it because Hirohito was kind?

fart!

The only reason is that we should be careful about what we do!

Yongren is not alone. He has a large number of nobles, bureaucrats, military and even civilian forces supporting him. Once he wants to take action, he must get rid of these people together.

At a time when Hirohito has no male offspring, the throne is seriously unstable, and there is a strong consensus that Yongren will succeed him as the "Crown Prince", this is undoubtedly an extremely risky and damaging behavior.

If things go wrong, it is not impossible for Tokyo to launch a large-scale rebellion. There have been too many precedents in history.

Secondly, as Fujiwara no Kanezane said, the emperor's younger brother poisoned his older brother, who was the emperor. This is an absolute royal scandal.

The occurrence of such a scandal within the Japanese royal family, which claims to be "descendants of God", is a huge blow to its prestige, dignity and ruling power.

Will the man who first created burial mounds of clay have no descendants?

Just like before the communist Kotoku Shusui committed the "Kotoku Uprising", ordinary Japanese people had never thought of offending or even assassinating the emperor and nobles;

But after that great treason, assassinations and plots to assassinate the emperor or members of the imperial family and even riots occurred one after another.

If this poisoning incident were exposed, especially if it were known to ordinary people, they would definitely think:

Oh, so the imperial family is just like us ordinary people's homes, with so much filth and dirt?

Is the emperor really still a "god"? More and more people will doubt it.

Although Hirohito was always out of touch with reality, he was well aware of matters concerning the legitimacy of his rule.

"...However, Your Majesty, after you passed out, I have ordered a complete blockade of the news. Don't worry, as long as the palace servants and the imperial physicians don't spread rumors, the news will not get out."

E=(o`*)))Alas, if only all the ministers were as loyal and capable as Kanezane.

It's no wonder that my mother and I dote on him so much...

Although he got some comfort from his "brother" Fujiwara no Kanezane, Hirohito was still furious when he thought of his damned brother, Yoshihito.

No, I can't live without letting go of this anger!

Thinking of this, Hirohito actually asked his most trusted ministers and royal relatives:

"Kaneshi, do you have any good ideas? Help me deal with that guy! At least make sure he never dares to covet the throne again!"

"what?"

The 305 organization has decided that you will be the emperor.

"...don't dare to covet the throne!"

To be honest, Fujiwara Kanezane was still confused when he heard this.

Good man, Hirohito is completely confused!

He actually asked me, an "outsider", to give him advice on how to deal with his own brother, Yongren?

I’m so awesome.

However, he was still a representative of the evil and crazy forces after all, so the next moment, Mr. Teng returned to normal and acted as if he was thinking seriously.

Let me think, has there ever been a time in history when...

Ah, there is.

"Your Majesty, before I offer my advice, I must confirm one thing. You are not planning to repeat the story of Kotoku Shusui and Namba Daisuke regarding that person, are you?"

This is a rather euphemistic way of putting it. What I mean is, Hirohito, you don't intend to kill Yongren directly, do you?

At present, Fujiwara no Kanezane had no intention of letting Hirohito kill Yoshihito.

The scene he hopes to see is the two of them fighting fiercely and both suffering losses.

,

His Majesty the Emperor, who had just realized that his words were inappropriate due to his momentary excitement, was silent for two seconds and shook his head helplessly.

That's right, no matter how much he wanted to kill Yong Ren, no matter how clear the evidence was that Yong Ren had done something wrong, he couldn't kill his own brother;

At the very least, it is absolutely not allowed to kill Yong Ren directly, clearly, openly, and personally.

Alas, this is the helplessness of being His Majesty the Emperor.

"Okay, now that Your Majesty has said so, I have a plan in mind." Fujiwara Kanezane confidently gave his advice:

"Isn't Prince Chichibu spending too much time in Tokyo? Why haven't you sent such an outstanding member of the imperial family abroad for further study?"

As we all know, Japan has always been an extremely typical old-style feudal dynasty, even with a considerable degree of remnants of slavery;

Compared to modern countries, the rule of this dynasty is extremely dependent on individuals. If the individual is strong, the ministers will be obedient and the country will be strong. If the individual is useless, the ministers will rebel and the country will suffer.

It is often said that "the root of the rule of law ultimately comes down to the rule of man, and the modern state is just a more covert form of feudalism";

Some even said, "New China and the People's Liberation Army are nothing more than a feudal system. Look at the King of Guangdong, the King of Mongolia, and the King of Guangxi."

Those who say such nonsense can basically be judged as having neither a grasp of the rule of law nor the rule of man, neither a grasp of feudalism nor a grasp of the People's Liberation Army;

Without mentioning anything else, let's just talk about how big the difference is between the old Japanese army and the People's Liberation Army in its worst period in terms of "going it alone".

The old Japanese army "went alone" - the Huanggutun Incident, the September 18th Incident, the Nomonhan Incident, the July 7th Incident, the Pearl Harbor Incident... countless incidents;

The PLA "went it alone"—because some higher-ups opposed building an aircraft carrier, they secretly bought one with their own business profits. However, they were detained by local authorities and asked for a huge travel fee. When they could no longer conceal the matter, they turned to the central government for help.

—A man with money, guns, and power immediately thought of breaking through central control, expanding the war, and dragging the whole of Japan into the war, and he still refused to repent until the end;

A man with money, guns and power wanted to make himself and his country stronger, but was hit by the iron fist of the central government and honestly stopped the military from engaging in business;

Can it be the same?

Therefore, as a feudal prince, if Yongren wanted to influence Japanese politics, he had to be present in person; relying solely on remote command would not be enough.

Just like the emperors and generals in Chinese history, once they left their "fiefdoms", they immediately became weak cats.

"Hmm? Ah! Right!"

Hirohito was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. That's right!

Am I stupid!

Since Yongren has always been shouting about serving the empire in order to gain a higher position, a more stable position, and more followers, why should we restrict him instead of giving in to him?

Now that everyone has crossed the ocean and is no longer in Japan, does Yongren still have any control over the so-called "forces loyal to him"?

Losing control over subordinates means losing their support easily, so how can one even talk about "coveting the throne"?

Hirohito could figure out what to do next without Fujiwara no Kanezane explaining it in detail:

1. Give Yongren a high position in name only and send him abroad on official business and study in the name of the country, the farther the better;

2. After Yongren leaves, slowly start to purge those who supported him. Yongren is far away in Europe or the United States. Even if he wants to resist, he will not be able to do so or it will be too late. This can also prevent major unrest in the country.

3. Once Yongren's wings are clipped, hehe...good!

As expected, he is Xiao Jianshi, who is well-versed in Chinese classics!

Just this one move can easily disintegrate Chichibu Palace's power!

Hirohito was in a good mood for a moment, but soon his face darkened again and he couldn't help but sigh.

Fujiwara Kanezane tilted his head:

"Your Majesty, is my idea wrong?"

"No, no, your idea is very good, it can be regarded as a good idea for the country, but..." But Hirohito's most critical problem has not been solved yet...

What's the problem? No children.

After all, Japan is a feudal dynasty disguised as a modern country. The person in power has no male heir, and his followers will definitely try their best to find the next emperor and place their bets in advance in order to seek their own eternal wealth.

If Hirohito had a son, as long as this son had a penis and was alive, Yongren would never have the slightest chance to get angry!

Apart from the idiots who are so deeply tied to Yongren that they can't break away from him, the other fence-sitters won't pay any attention to him!

Just like Hirohito's father, Emperor Taisho.

Even though everyone knew he was mentally retarded (in the physical sense), because he had four sons, he was the unshakable and supremely honorable Emperor!

The Emperor must have a son. This is the iron rule among iron rules!

These nobles don’t care who the next emperor will be, and they will support whoever becomes the emperor.

Whether it was Hirohito, Yongren, Xuanren, or any other member of the imperial family who had the right to inherit the throne...

etc?

Hirohito's gaze suddenly fell on Fujiwara no Kanezane, who was looking at him with an innocent and puzzled expression.

I seem to have overlooked one thing.

It seems that the only difference between the Fujiwara family and the imperial family is whether they have a surname or not.

"Kaneshi, let me ask you something." "Hmm?"

"Do you want to be the crown prince?"

The corner of Fujiwara Kanezane's mouth twitched, and after a two-second pause, he asked:

"Your Majesty, do you mean to make me your first-in-line heir, and after your death, I will directly succeed to the throne as emperor?"

Damn it, this kid has always been so disrespectful since he was little. In the past, Fujiwara no Kanezane's recklessness and foolishness would undoubtedly have been a major flaw; but now, the more Hirohito saw this little guy, the more he liked him. Furthermore, due to his physical condition, he no longer cared about this "offense," instead viewing it as a sign of sincerity.

When dealing with sincere people, you should naturally use sincere means.

If he still couldn't give birth to a son, Hirohito would rather give the throne to the obedient Fujiwara no Kanezane than to that damned Yoshihito.

This is the so-called "better to be a foreign minister than a domestic slave" idea. Besides, Fujiwara no Kanezane cannot be called a "foreign minister".

The relationship between Fujiwara no Kanezane and the imperial family cannot be said to be very close, but at least it is "you are in me and I am in you", and it is difficult to distinguish them. It can even be said that they share the same blood.

Then there will be no practical or psychological barriers.

In short, handing the throne to Fujiwara no Kanezane, a man with good vision and strong ability, can not only consolidate Hirohito's own throne, but also ensure that the rise of the Empire of Japan is unstoppable!
