Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the first month of the 10th year of the Meiwa Period (1663), Hideho, who had not walked for nearly two months, finally attended the New Year celebration with the support of Emperor Xiaogen and the Empress. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were very excited.  But not long after, a cold wave hit Kyoto, causing his condition to suddenly worsen and he fell into a coma.  At the beginning of February, Hideho finally regained his consciousness, but he also knew that his deadline was approaching, so he sent someone to invite Yourito to come to Dongming Palace to see him.  After hearing the news, Youren hurried to Dongming Hall. At this time, there was already a circle around the royal family and Hideho's cronies who came after hearing the news.  Youren knelt down in front of Xiubao's bed and said with concern: "You finally woke up. My grandson has been worried about me all this time." "Everyone is destined to die. Your Majesty, you don't need to be so worried. Besides, you are used to life and death.  "Xiu Bao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out first.  Seeing the door closed, he patted Xiaoyan on the shoulder and said in a subtle tone: "We fought well in the battle last year. I heard that corpses were lying on the banks of Lake Bipa and the water was dyed red. I forced you to death on Mount Asahi."  Cousin, he also exiled his family to Hachijo Island. No emperor has ever done such a thing in person. " "Grandpa, my grandson is just trying to maintain the prestige of the imperial court. Isn't this what you have always expected after this battle?  There must be no one who dares to challenge the authority of the imperial court." Yourito bowed his head and accepted Hideho's scolding like a child, not daring to breathe, and occasionally explaining a sentence or two at the right time.  "If you want to establish your authority, isn't it possible to use the same method used to deal with the 'Edo Riots'? You have to have brothers fight against each other, fight with each other, and let outsiders laugh?" Hideho said angrily.  "You were unconscious at the time, and your grandson felt that he could not force Huangren to surrender on his own" Youren explained.  "You are not a child, and I am not an old fool. I know what you think. You want to take this opportunity to establish your own prestige, and you don't want to rely on me for everything like before." Hideho's tone softened slightly: "I will not die soon.  , You shouldn¡¯t be too hasty, and you still use Kohito to operate, regardless of the efforts and sacrifices your uncle made back then.¡± ¡°K¨­hito has a disobedient heart. Grandpa, you know it. Besides, Sakamoto is so close to Kyoto.  My grandson really can't wait any longer," Youren argued.  "So I didn't criticize you too much. You did your best to attend the celebration at the beginning of the year to show your dignity. It's just that you didn't handle this matter properly." Hideho sighed, "You have to remember that our lineage  The unification only lasts for thirty years. Kinship is an important force that you have to rely on. You can seize power and cut down vassals, but you cannot kill them. The so-called evil consequences of the Warring States Period such as subordinates overpowering superiors, fathers and sons turning against each other, and brothers killing each other must not appear in the royal family, otherwise they will be the same.  "What's the difference between the famous names of the Warring States Period?" "My grandson understood and recalled his clan back home," Youren responded sincerely.  "I know there have been some rumors saying that your father and you are emperors, but in fact they have no power. There is even a saying that 'all government orders come from Dongming Palace'. You must not be able to listen to it, so you took this action, right?  "That's absolutely not the case!" Youren said in panic, "My grandson is young and everything depends on his grandfather's teachings." "It's nothing," Hideho waved his hand feebly, "You won't understand if you haven't experienced those storms.  I am cautious and worried. Now that the world is peaceful and my deadline is approaching, it couldn't be better." "Grandpa!" Hearing this, Youren was even more embarrassed.  Indeed, similar rumors had already arisen when Emperor Takamei was still alive, and now that Hideho is seriously ill, they have become even more popular.  At that time, Emperor Xiaomei was very disgusted with such remarks, and relevant personnel would be severely punished if found out.  Yourito was young at the time, and was also instilled with a lot of rumors intentionally or unintentionally by his attendants. Emperor Komei was furious when he learned about it and ordered the execution and exile of hundreds of people.  Yourito was quite puzzled, and Emperor Xiaomei told him in the same tone: "You are young and have not experienced the turbulent era decades ago, so you will not understand your grandfather. You must remember that without your grandfather, you will not understand your grandfather."  There is no us now." Since then, Emperor Komei has told Yuhito from time to time about Hideho's deeds, from his battle of wits and courage with Tokugawa Ieyasu, to his narrow escape in sending troops to Korea, to his acceptance of orders after Hideyoshi's death, and his final efforts to turn the tide.  One battle determined the situation, and later the return of the imperial status and the heir apparent were unprecedented in a thousand years. The Yamato Toyotomi clan transformed into the legitimate masters of Japan. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In fact, Yuhito has always had a knot in his mind, and that is his bloodline: Although nominally his grandfather and maternal grandfather are both from the "Masachika-Cho-Seihito" lineage, this is the result of the "return of imperial status" and is inevitable.  Outsiders make irresponsible remarks.  Emperor Xiaomei had no choice.??I can rely on the road paved by Hideho to go on, but I am different. I can not only take the road paved by Hideho, but also the road of "Masachika-cho - Seihito - Gohanashan". The latter is obviously more "upright".  Coupled with the rumors around him, he began to deliberately alienate the relationship with the Chinese people of the Wu family and instead became close to the Chinese people of the public family. Although Hideho did not take it seriously, Emperor Takamei was very dissatisfied and severely punished many ministers for this.  Youren developed quite a rebellious mentality.  After taking the throne, the relationship between the grandfather and grandson became more and more subtle. Hideho began to gradually let go, and Yourito also took the opportunity to cultivate some cronies, but most of these people were sycophants with no talent or virtue.  Many important officials in the court have objections to this, but Hideyasu believes that Yourito is young and energetic, and as long as there is no big trouble, he can make some new attempts.  Therefore, the "Edo Riots" in the fifth year of the Meiwa Period (1658) were basically handled by Hishito himself. However, the envoy's arrogance and domineering behavior aroused dissatisfaction in the Edo Palace, and more than a dozen of Hishito's ministers were killed. In the end, it was Hideho who  Only by coming forward did he calm down everyone's anger and resolve the crisis.  After this incident, in order to restore the prestige of the court, Hideho carried out a purge in the court. Yuhito also began to reflect on his previous impulses and became more cautious in personnel selection. Some rising stars of the Chinese samurai family, such as Toudo Takaaki and Nasu Shige, were successively eliminated.  Entrusted with important responsibilities, government affairs are handled more steadily.  ¡°But Hideho¡¯s control and influence demonstrated in this incident still make Yuhito feel grudge.  As Hideho's body became increasingly weak, Yourito gradually took back his power. In order to prove his ability and establish his prestige, in the ninth year of Minghe (1662), he personally formulated strategies and presided over the quelling of the "Ren Yin Rebellion". Although there were twists and turns in the process, he  Finally achieved the intended effect.  Although he consolidated his position through this, as Hideho said, the "side effects" of this incident also began to appear. Many relatives and court officials complained about Yuhito's handling of Sakamoto Palace, and some people thought that he was taking the opportunity to intimidate and eliminate Sakamoto Palace.  Hideho's old team.  Fortunately, Hideho attended the New Year celebration and this kind of talk died down.
