The life of the ruling emperor

In 649 (the fifth year of Dahua), Soga no Ishikawa Maro, the grandfather and right minister of Kano Zanliang's daughter, was accused of rebellion, attacked by her eldest brother Prince (the future Emperor Tianzhi) and committed suicide. My daughter, eldest brother's wife, Su I made Yuan's father sad and died soon. Naoki Kojiro thinks that Suwo Yuan Zhiniang's mother is Suwo Jujube Garden, the royal daughter of Luye Zanliang.

In 657 (the third year of Emperor Qi Ming), at the age of 13, the daughter of Emperor Zanliang of Jian Ye married her uncle Prince Hairen (the future Emperor Wu of Heaven). The eldest brother, Prince Zhong, not only praised his daughters, but also married his four daughters Daejeon, Dajiang and Xintianbu to his younger brother, Prince Hairen. In 66 1 year (the seventh year of Emperor Qi Ming), the daughter of Emperor Zanliang of Jian Ye and Prince Hai Min followed Emperor Qi Ming on a trip to Kyushu. In 662 (the first year of Tianzhi), in Kyushu, Yano Zanliang's girl gave birth to Emperor KUSANAGI, and the girl of Daejeon gave birth to Prince Otsu the following year. In 667, Emperor Ota passed away, and Emperor Yano Zanliang became the highest-ranking wife of Prince Haimen. 67 1 year (Emperor of Heaven1year), when Prince Haimen lived in Yoshino to avoid political disputes, Jian Ye Zanliang's daughter followed Prince Cao Bi. There is no clear record in the historical materials such as The History of Japan, whether she came to Yoshino as a member of the wife of Prince Hainan or only Yano Zanliang's daughter came to Yoshino.

In the second year, the prince of the sea launched Ren Shen rebellion. Jian Ye Zanliang's daughter, with her own children, Prince Kushibi, and the son of Prince Hainan, born to other concubines, endured the city wall and followed Prince Hainan in the direction of MINO. Because of fatigue, I bid farewell to Prince Hairen and his party and stayed in Yi Shi. According to Japanese books, Jian Ye Zanliang's daughter and Prince Haimin made a rebellion plan together. After winning the rebellion, Prince Haiman ascended the throne in the first month of 673 (the second year of Emperor Tianwu) and conferred the title of Emperor Yano Zanliang as the queen.

According to Japanese records, when Emperor Tianwu was in power, the empress also assisted Emperor Tianwu and made suggestions on political affairs.

In 679 (the eighth year of Emperor Tianwu), Emperor Tianwu exchanged the alliance of Yoshino with six emperors, including the Empress and Prince Jiushibi. The six emperors were Kushi, Otsu, Gao Shi, Renbi, Chuan Dao and Shiki, among whom Chuan Dao and Shiki were the sons of Emperor Tianwu, and the other four were the sons of Emperor Tianwu. Emperor Wudi made the princes swear not to fight for the throne, help each other, and let the princes hug each other. Then let the queen and the princes hug each other.

In order to pray for the queen's recovery, Emperor Tianwu ordered the construction of Yangle Temple.

In 68 1 year (Emperor Tianwu 10 year), accompanied by the queen, Emperor Tianwu summoned all the princes, kings and ministers in Daji Hall, and began to compile the laws and regulations on flying birds in the palace, declaring Prince Cao Bi, who was only 19 years old at that time, as the Crown Prince. At that time, there was no precedent for a young man with no actual ruling experience to be a crown prince in Japan. Presumably this is the queen's strong request.

From about 685 (Emperor Tianwu 14), Emperor Tianwu began to get sick frequently, and the empress began to replace Emperor Tianwu and became the actual ruler of Japan at that time. In July of 686 (Emperor Wudi of Heaven 15), the emperor wrote: "Everything in the world, big or small, must be reported to the queen and the crown prince." The queen and the prince of the grass wall began to rule together. Prince Otsu is younger than Prince Hisaishi 1 year old, and his mother, Emperor Ota, is the sister of Prince Hisaishi's mother, Emperor Kano. According to the Records of Japan, Prince Otsu is charming, eloquent and knowledgeable, and won the favor of Emperor Tianwu. The rise of Japanese poetry and fu began with Prince Otsu. However, The Complete Book of Japanese Records did not record any praise for Prince Jiushibi. The history of Japan compiled under the regime with the blood of Prince Hisaishi has such a record, and no one among all historians denies their differences in ability.

Ota, the son of Ota, died young, but Kano Zanliang, the mother of Jiushibi, is still alive, and she was made queen and became the backing of Jiushibi. After Prince KUSANAGI was established as the Crown Prince, although Prince Otsu also participated in state affairs, Prince KUSANAGI's position as the Crown Prince has been firmly established.

However, the day after the death of Emperor Tianwu, Prince Otsu's rebellion was discovered by Prince Chuan Dao's tip-off, and he committed suicide. What exactly is a rebellion plan is not recorded in the history books. It was common at that time to inherit the throne by strength. Therefore, Takeo Beishan thinks that maybe Prince Otsu has sought the throne, and some dangerous words and deeds were discovered by the ruling emperor, which shattered Prince Otsu's plot. But perhaps Prince Otsu had no intention of rebellion, just because he was a potential competitor of Prince Xelloss and was pre-emptively executed by the ruling emperor. Emperor Tianwu, after the royal family and his deputies attended a series of funerals, it took two years and three months to be buried. At this time, the Crown Prince showed himself as a leader and minister, in order to strengthen the impression that Prince Caoqiang was the heir to the throne.

However, in April of 689 (straight three years), Prince Cao Pi died, and the succession plan was completely disrupted. Although Emperor Tongzhi hoped for the son of Prince Cao Bi, he was only a 7-year-old Prince Guang (later Emperor Wu Wen), but Prince Guang was too young to be the crown prince first. In this way, the emperor chose to reign by himself. After he ascended the throne, the ruling emperor made large-scale personnel changes, and appointed Prince Gao Shi as the minister of Zheng Tai and Kochi Island as the right minister. There were no ministers in the Tianwu Dynasty (ministers were Japanese ancient tombs and Asuka's official positions, and they had great power. Prior to this, Su I, Xia Yi and Su I entered the deer family as hereditary ministers, and the imperial power politics was revised. During the Tongzhi period, he inherited and completed the policy of Emperor Wu of Heaven, and made two major events, namely, making the Order of Cleaning Birds and building the capital of Fujiwara.

Building a new Beijing is the wish of Emperor Tianwu. There are two different views, one is that it started when Emperor Wudi existed, and the other is that it officially started when the emperor was in office.

In addition, the through train emperor faithfully inherited the policy of Emperor Tianwu to reward officials for their armament and martial arts.

In terms of civil affairs, I made a household registration, that is, Geng Yin made a registration. In July 687 (the first year of Tongzhi), the interest on debts before 685 (Emperor Tianwu 14) was exempted. Try to adjust the identity of handmaiden, and order people and handmaiden to wear clothes of specified colors.

While implementing these laws and regulations and preparing the country, the ruling emperor also racked his brains to use the authority of the ruling emperor to improve his reputation. The ruling emperor asked persimmon Ma Lu, one of the 36 immortals, to be a hymn to praise the emperor. Persimmon himself, Ma Lu, despite his low official position, was sheltered by Emperor Zhi Tong. He sang praises for the emperor as a "court poet" all his life, and then he was transferred to a local official.

Unlike Emperor Tianwu, Emperor Zhitong often went to Yoshino. It is not only to visit the place where my husband remembers Emperor Wu of Heaven, but also to improve his prestige through the authority of Emperor Wu of Heaven. Other records show that Emperor Shouzhi visited Yi Shi once and Jiyi once. According to Ye Wan Ji, Jinjiang may have been lucky. Fortunately, it was persuaded by a three-wheeled high-rise horse because it hindered farming. The purpose of this trip is to let local tycoons continue to assist Fujiwara's construction.

Emperor Tianwu prayed for the queen's recovery before her death. The Yangle Temple in Yamato, which began to be built, was completed during the reign of the Emperor, who named the temple in Yangle Temple Aiyuan Temple.

In terms of diplomacy, the emperor inherited the policy of Emperor Tianwu, conducted diplomacy with Silla, and had no official diplomatic relations with Datang.

The ruling emperor refused to recognize the reciprocal relationship with Silla and forced Silla to pay tribute to Japan. Silla confronted Datang at that time, so we had to admit this unequal relationship. Japan sent learned monks and other students to Silla. During most of the reign of Emperor Zhitong, Prince Gao Shi (the eldest son of Emperor Tianwu) was the minister of Zheng Tai. Despite his humble mother's status, Prince Gao Shi made outstanding achievements in Renshen rebellion, and it is speculated that he also accumulated prestige in government affairs. Prince Gao Shi, even if he is not the official crown prince, is also a strong candidate for the heir to the throne who is supported by everyone.

Prince Gao Shi died on July 10, 696 (reigning emperor 10). According to Huai Feng Zao, at this time, the Tongzhi emperor called the royal family and its officials to discuss the issue of the heir after Tongzhi, and advocated that other sons of Emperor Tianwu should inherit the throne, but the Tongzhi emperor intended to let his grandson and the son of the late Crown Prince Kushibi inherit it. When King Ge Ye shouted at everyone, the result came out. 697 (Emperor Tongzhi 108)

In 697 AD (1 1), the reigning emperor gave way to 1 5-year-old emperor Wu Wen on August. In Japanese history, the ruling emperor was the second emperor to abdicate after the living emperor succeeded to the throne, and was the first emperor. After the emperor abdicated, he still sat side by side with Wu Wen to handle government affairs. The greatest achievement in the Wu Wen era was the formulation and implementation of the Dabao Law, which was also considered to be the will to unify the emperor. However, the prince of punishments (that is, the prince who endured the wall and became the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Heaven after his death) did not return to politics like Fujiwara, the hero of Ren Shen's rebellion, so some scholars believe that the Wuwen Temple has changed, which is not entirely dominated by the will of the unified emperor.

In the first year of Dabao (70 1), the through train emperor went to Yoshino, which he had not been to for many years. The next year, I traveled a long way to Sanjiang to reward local heroes who contributed to Renshen Uprising.

65438+ 10 month13,703 (65438+Dabaoer on February 22nd) became ill and died on the 22nd. After a funeral in 1 year, the ashes were cremated and buried in the tomb of Emperor Wu of Heaven. This is the emperor's first cremation.
