The heat in the pool made the bodies of the two sisters, Reiko and Zhenzi, faint, and invisibly added a hazy beauty.

They almost forgot about Yang Yi's existence, and kept pushing for the question of who left.

Yang Yi didn't speak for a long time, because he didn't know what to say.

The two sisters argued for a while, and finally suddenly became enlightened, and came up to the left and the right and said, "Master, let Aunt Atsuko be the emperor, will you bring our sisters back together?" ”

"Not good! Atsuko definitely can't, I only trust you two sisters. ”

The sisters' proposal, which they thought was the best of both worlds, was immediately rejected by Yang Yi. Atsuko is a more complicated person, but she is not as simple as these two sisters, how could Yang Yi agree to make her emperor?

Yang Yi was a little worried about leaving her in Japan, and now the Liao State doesn't know what to do, if the Chang Jurisdiction really makes the Liao State collapse quickly, then the energy of the Great Song Dynasty will have to be temporarily placed in the north.

Don't think that having a flintlock pistol is omnipotent, and people will naturally not be able to beat you in frontal combat.

But in that vast grassland, people don't confront you head-on, you can't even find people, how can you fight?

The steppe peoples use cold weapons and have little dependence on logistics, and if you use hot weapons, they must rely heavily on logistics.

People have a lot of opportunities to take advantage of you, and even like the people in Sanyuan, they will give you a break at night and in the rain.

Napoleon had a good saying: never think that your enemies are stupider than you.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can quickly sweep the north, it is easy to take down such a large territory, but it is difficult to govern.

Under such circumstances, the control over Japan in the past few years will definitely be weaker, and it is better not to make too many moves now, eat the rice one bite at a time, and walk step by step.

Based on the above, it is very unwise to let Atsuko stay in Japan, and it will definitely not work to let her ascend to the throne of the emperor again.

was denied by Yang Yi, and the sisters were helpless, but there was no other choice except Duzi, so the two of them started to worry again;

Yang Yi hugged them left and right, thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, you two sisters will take turns, one will be the emperor, and the other will go back with me, and they will be changed every two to three years, so that no one has to fight, how about it?" ”

Lingzi and Zhenzi looked at each other, and when they had no choice, this was probably the best solution.

After the two agreed to come down, they ended up staying at a stalemate over who would be the first, which made Yang Yi really speechless, and at the same time couldn't help but laugh.

He thought for a while and said, "That's good, the first time to stay is shorter, two years is good, and the next one has to be three years, which of you wants to stay first?" ”

"Let my sister stay first!"

"Let my sister stay first!"

Isn't that enough? Yang Yi was furious and pressed their bodies down, making the two tempting snow buttocks and snap! With a few clicks, with this crisp sound, a few red palm prints floated on the two pink snow buttocks, like plum blossoms.

Yang Yi said with satisfaction: "Lingzi is a sister, so you should let Zhenzi have some, just stay first!" Two years later, I'll let Zhenzi succeed you. ”

"Yes, master." Lingzi had no choice but to come down.

The fate of Japan was decided in the baths.

Some things are not important about the outcome, but the process is important, such as the life of an individual.

However, some things are just the opposite, the process is not important, the result is important, such as the matter agreed by the three of them.

With Yang Yi's support, Yuki Hatoyama relinquished the throne with great interest, and Lingzi ascended the throne as Prince Nei.

In Japan, it is nothing new for a woman from the imperial family to become emperor.

Before Reiko, there had been eight female emperors in Japan.

Emperor Suiko was the first female emperor in the history of Japan, and she was the princess of the 29th Emperor of Japan, Khimaki. At the age of 18, the beautiful Tyku was taken as a concubine by his half-brother, Emperor Minda, and became empress five years later.

After the death of Emperor Minda, Shiiku did not squeeze into the core of the imperial family at first, but a major event that happened afterwards put her on the throne of the emperor.

In 592 AD, the reigning Emperor Chongjun was assassinated by his ministers. After quelling the rebellion, Zoko's son, Prince Takeda, and his nephew, Prince Shotoku, fought for the throne.

Due to the equal strength of the two factions, they could not hold each other, and finally had to reach a compromise, both of them were not emperors, and jointly supported the 38-year-old Suigu as emperor.

Starting from Emperor Suiko, there were seven female emperors before and after, namely:

35th Emperor Gogoku (reigned 642~645):

37th Emperor Qi Ming (reigned 655~661):

41st Emperor Jitong (reigned 686~697):

43rd Emperor Yuanmei (reigned 707~715):

44th Emperor Motosho (reigned 715~724):

46th Emperor Koken (reigned 749~758):

48th Emperor Naritoku (reigned 764~770):

Although hundreds of years have passed since these precedents, they have happened after all, so it is acceptable for the Japanese people to reinvent Reiko as emperor again.

After four days of intense preparations, a grand ceremony was held in Heian-kyo, and Prince Lingkouchi was officially enthroned as the new emperor.

After Emperor Reiko ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to abolish the regency and Sekihaku, and the government would return to the hands of the Taizheng officials.

The Taizheng official was originally the highest organ in charge of the imperial court in Japan, which was equivalent to Shangshu Province in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so the Taizheng official had several aliases, namely Shangshu Province, Luantai, Lan Province, and Ganzheng Official.

In Japan, the Taizheng was in charge of the legislative, executive, judicial and jurisdiction of eight provinces and 100 officials, and the Taizheng and the deity officials were collectively called the two officials, and their status was higher than that of the deity officials.

But since the advent of the regent and Guan Bai, the Taizheng has been a nominal institution. Now Lingzi has abolished the regent and Guan Bai and returned to the imperial government, which has a strong sense of targeting.

Yuki Hatoyama was appointed Minister of the Left for his meritorious service.

Minister Zuo is the chief of the imperial court, and the president is the chief of all government affairs, ceremonies in the palace, etc., and is the de facto highest responsibility for the imperial court.

Wang Yong will take 100 and 2 people to stay in Japan temporarily, and take up the post of the left guard general of the Konoe Prefecture, responsible for the security of the palace.

After Reiko ascended the throne, Taira Masamori of Kanto, Mitsumi Mitsumi of Mutsu, Takuya Uesugi of Echigo, and Kiji Hita of Ueno all canceled their imperial titles, expressed their recognition of Emperor Reiko, and paid taxes to Heian as previously customary.

In other words, they will still maintain the current pattern of becoming a country of their own, which has been tacitly approved by Yang Yi.

Although Reiko is very obedient at the moment, she is now just a girl who does not know the world, who knows what will become of being the emperor for a long time?

Before Yang Yi wastes his energy to completely transform Japan, it is better to keep Japan in a divided pattern, so that it can be easy to check and balance.

Yang Yi also quietly left five million taels of silver to Lingzi as a reserve for the issuance of banknotes.

This made Reiko even more convinced that he was really helping himself and Japan.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the annual income was only three or four million, and if a large country could operate, Japan was a land of egg balls, coupled with a backward economy, and there were 50,000 taels of silver as reserves, which was enough to support its paper money reputation.

Moreover, the previous looting was all in the area east of Heiankyo, and there was no copper coin for daily transactions. In addition, the places west of Heiankyo, including Shikoku Island and Kyushu Island, have not been touched and have not been destroyed, and now there are no strong daimyo in these areas, and they are all under the jurisdiction of Heiankyo, which is also a support for Reiko's administration.

Before you know it, the end of the year has arrived.

Not far away, the bell of Jingoji Temple echoed leisurely in the snow, and many people in Tokyo were still silently licking their wounds, but with Reiko's accession to the throne, the situation in Japan gradually stabilized, and they could finally live a peaceful New Year.

The influence of the powerful Tang Dynasty on Japan is multifaceted, and the current customs of the Japanese New Year are very similar to those in China, generally until the eighth day of December, officials begin to have a holiday, which is the so-called Laba Festival.

Like the Tang and Song dynasties, the Japanese also cook Laba porridge on this day, but due to different productions, the raw materials of Laba porridge are somewhat different.

In China, red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, pine nuts, longan, and so on are added to the porridge.

The main ingredients of Laba porridge in Japan are still adzuki beans and yams.

On the 13th, the rich and noble families also paid Xixi (teacher) salaries and let them go home for the New Year.

Towards the end of the year, there is also a custom of giving gifts to each other among relatives and friends, drinking Tusu wine like Chinese New Year's Eve, and holding various rituals.

When the New Year comes, you should also give your children New Year's money.

In short, the current Japanese New Year customs are inherited from the Tang and Song dynasties, and they are proud to learn from China, but there are some differences in the details.

This custom was not until the later Meiji Restoration, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was weakened, and Japan began to look down on China, so it turned to the "west" to learn from the Western powers, and the calendar was changed to the Western Yuan, and the Spring Festival was also changed to the first day of the first month of the Western Yuan.

Now Yang Yi's purpose of coming to Japan has basically been achieved, and even surpassed his original intention, but he can't leave yet, Lingzi's ascension to the throne is still short, and most of the affairs in the court have not been sorted out;

Yang Yi had to stay behind to help the town, and wait for the new regime to pass the nascent period of weakness.

The Great Song Dynasty now has no old party to stir up trouble, and there are characters like Zhang Dian in charge, with Zhang Tun's generosity and foresight, there will be no chaos, Yang Yi is very relieved.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he led Qingniang to Shengo Temple to burn a pillar of incense, Qingniang is as devout as a Buddha in China or a Buddha in Japan.

The weather was cold, and Yang Yi was afraid that she would freeze, so he picked her up in the car and "kidnapped" her back to Washington.

When entering the mansion, Sakura and Zhenzi led a large group of warblers and Yanyan were putting up lanterns to decorate Washington with a new look;

In order to implement the "royal road" in the future, Yang Yi asked Wang Yong and his team to open more than a dozen porridge shops outside the Suzaku Gate to give porridge to those homeless Japanese people, so as to slowly change their image in the hearts of the Japanese people.

At this time, they also returned, and for a time Washington was bustling with activity.

At dusk, Lingzi also quietly came to Washington. In that palace, she was unaccompanied, bleak and clear, usually she often came to Washington at night to spend the night, and this Chinese New Year's Eve was even more reluctant to stay alone in the cold palace.

Although she became the emperor, every time she came to Washington, she still called Yang Yi as her master, which was no different from before, and she served him even more diligently;

Maybe unconsciously, she has developed a dependence on Yang Yi!

With Yang Yi here, she, the emperor, is very easy, just do what Yang Yi says!

She really didn't know how she would deal with the complicated situation when Yang Yi left.
