Snow-clothed and snow-haired, with a green jade mouth, a group of fishermen are in the shadow of the stream.
Flying away in shock, the green mountains are reflected in the distance, and a pear tree falls in the evening wind.
——"Egret" Du Mu (Tang Dynasty)
…
Compared with the Japanese people's understanding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people knew very little about the Japanese people.
In the first year of Japan's Tenpyeong Shengbo year (AD 749), Emperor Shomu of Japan became a monk and moved to the Yakushiji Palace.
On July 2, Emperor Shomu's daughter, Prince Abena (the concubine, the princess), accepted the abdication of Emperor Shomu and ascended the throne in the Daichiden Hall, becoming Empress Xiaoqian. Empress Xiaoqian was a legendary empress in the history of Japan.
When Emperor Shomu abdicated the throne, his Empress Guangming naturally became the Empress Dowager Guangming. The harem organization "Empress Palace" managed by Empress Guangming was also reorganized into "Ziwei Zhongdai", and its chief was the nephew of Empress Xiaoqian
Fujiwara Nakamaro is in charge.
"Ziwei" is the constellation to the north of the Big Dipper and is regarded as the seat of the Emperor of Heaven. "Ziwei Nakadai" is the backing of the newly enthroned daughter Emperor Koken, the Empress Dowager Miguang, who is actually in charge of national affairs. Fujiwara Nakamaro Shen
As the chief of "Ziwei Zhongtai", he single-handedly holds the power of the government.
In the same year, Usahachiman of Kyushu's Bunzen Kingdom came to the capital under the protection of the priests. Usahachiman was also a woman, riding the same purple sedan chair as the emperor. Not long after she arrived in the capital, the Japanese Emperor conferred the title of Usahachiman.
The first rank is the "rank" of the second rank "Bi Maishen". The so-called "rank" is the rank awarded to the emperor's princes and princesses.
In May of the eighth year of Japan's Tianping Shengbao reign (AD 756), Emperor Shengmu Taishang of Japan passed away. According to his edict, King Daozu (the grandson of Emperor Tenmu) was established as the crown prince.
The following year, at the end of March in the ninth year of the Tenpyeong Shengho Year (757 AD) of the Japanese Kingdom, more and more things disrupted the imperial court. Empress Xiaoqian relied on Emperor Shomu's edict to depose the crown prince, Prince Michofuku.
The person elected to replace the deposed crown prince was King Daichi (grandson of Emperor Tenmu), whom Fujiwara Nakamaro had been secretly supporting.
In April, Empress Takaken, in accordance with Fujiwara Nakamaro's wishes, established King Daichi as the crown prince and appointed Fujiwara Nakamaro as the "Purple Internal Affairs Minister" who had overall military power.
In the second year of the Japanese Dynasty (AD 758), the 41-year-old Empress Xiaoqian gave way to the 26-year-old King Dachu, who became Emperor Junnin of the Japanese Kingdom.
Emperor Junhi of the Japanese Kingdom appointed Fujiwara Nakamaro as the Right Minister (Dabao), and named him "Emi Otsuki".
…
In the Battle of Tsushima, most of the Japanese navy was annihilated. The Japanese government and the public were shocked, and they were extremely worried that the Tang army would take advantage of the situation and land on the Japanese mainland.
Saint Fuso was ordered to return to Pingcheng, the capital, and enter the palace to meet the saint.
She came in gracefully, with graceful steps and graceful posture. Her long, silky hair was spread out, carrying an elegant jasmine fragrance.
The fuso saint named Fujiwara Rika is as beautiful as the moon after taking off her veil. Her eyes are like autumn water, clear and bright. Occasionally, a complex and subtle look will pass through her eyes, with a hint of coldness.
, making people feel that those eyes are like stars in the sky, distant and mysterious.
Emperor Junhi looked at Rika Fujiwara, feeling dazed for a while, and love quietly emerged from the bottom of his heart:
Although she has been accustomed to seeing her since she was a child, and her eyes and ears are tame, she has never grown tired of her. She still feels that no one among the concubines can catch up with her. She has a noble and elegant temperament, no matter her facial features or figure, there is no defect in her body, which can make anyone who sees her feel ashamed.
Emperor Junhito was filled with emotion: How could this girl be born with such a fragrant beauty? This year is more prosperous than last year, and today is more beautiful than yesterday. She is always fresh and never gets tired of it. She is indeed my hibiscus flower.
Fujiwara Rika knelt on the ground and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Black Tortoise and Snake have mostly recovered from their injuries. If the Tang Dynasty Navy invades rashly, they will definitely be wiped out by the mythical beasts."
Emperor Junhito stepped down from the couch, gently picked up Rika Fujiwara, and comforted her: "Rika, get up quickly. The failure of the Tsushima naval battle was actually due to the cunning and deceit of the Tang army and had nothing to do with you.
Although this battle is defeated, it is not without gain.
In the Battle of Jincheng, you wiped out the elite of Silla's navy, massacred Jincheng, and won a complete victory. After this battle, Silla was no longer able to compete with me, Fusang.
On the other hand, I, Fuso, can cross the Tsushima Strait and swallow up the Korean Peninsula, just around the corner."
Fujiwara Rika further said: "The Korean Peninsula is just a small land, and the Tang Dynasty is our formidable enemy. I sincerely request to go to the Tang Dynasty again, waiting for an opportunity to provoke civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and seize the important financial and taxation areas in the Jianghuai area of the Tang Dynasty."
Emperor Junnin waved his hand and said calmly: "Leave these matters to Taishi Fujiwara Nakamaro. You can stay in Heijingjing and choose a date to get married."
Fujiwara Rika played: "There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty, 'The Huns are not destroyed, so why should we take care of the family?'. The Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, and the ministers have no intention of getting married."
After hearing this, Emperor Junhi turned pale and walked away without saying a word.
Taizheng Minister (Taishi) Fujiwara Nakamaro (also known as Emi Otsuki) is Fujiwara Rika's clan uncle. He scolded: "Don't you understand the emperor's intention? You don't want to take the position of the extremely noble empress, but you want to
You have to run around. Is it possible that you want to never marry and be alone all your life in the Ise Shrine where Amaterasu is worshiped?"
Fujiwara Rika's eyes were firm and she replied categorically: "Uncle, I don't want to be a queen. This is not the life I want, nor is it my destiny."
Fujiwara Nakamaro's words made her mouth dry, but Fujiwara Rika remained unmoved. Fujiwara Nakamaro's angry orifices filled with smoke, he roared a few words, and stamped his feet to leave.
…
Because of Emperor Junhito's punishment, Fuso Saint Rika Fujiwara knelt outside the palace gate for three days and three nights.
After hearing that Rika Fujiwara was punished by Emperor Junhito, Emperor Takaken Taisei (Empress) was furious and rushed to the Fuso Palace in person to pardon Rika Fujiwara.
Emperor Xiaoqian said to Fujiwara Rika: "Rika, please get up.
You have done a great job in the whole battle, both vertically and horizontally. Without your plan, how could Silla and Bohai join forces with me, Fuso, to deal with the Tang Dynasty?
However, Silla and Bohai are really short-sighted. They only focus on the fat piece of Tang Dynasty, but forget the truth that when cranes and clams compete, the fisherman will benefit.
In the final analysis, we, Fuso, are the biggest winners in the entire chess game."
