Chapter 41: Arrogance(2/2)

Chen Decheng took over the Ryukyu Islands effortlessly, and their northern neighbors were not alarmed by the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

The Japanese nation had no idea that they had changed their neighbors...

At this time, Japan was still in the Heian period, and the emperor was Emperor Murakami, an emperor with little real power.

After Emperor Murakami ascended the throne, the real power was in the hands of the Regent family. The so-called Regent means regent Guan Bai.

There is a saying among the people: The regent is the emperor, and Guan Bai is the leader of all officials, still in the ministerial position.

To put it bluntly, it is understood that relatives are involved in politics.

Emperor Murakami is just a decoration, and the real power is in the hands of brothers Fujiwara Minori and Fujiwara Shisuke, who are relatives.

However, the internal stability of the Japanese state was not stable. The main reason was the destruction of the class-field system in the Japanese state, which was a system that imitated the equalized land system.

The equalization of farmland system is unsustainable, let alone the class-field system?

The Japanese country did not have an imperial examination system, and officials relied on family status, which undoubtedly gave rise to aristocratic families. With the collapse of the class system, the rise of aristocratic families was inevitable.

However, the aristocratic families in Japan are not called Shiclan, but Wu family.

Twenty years ago, Taira Shomon and Fujiwara Juntomo triggered the "Taipei Tenkei Rebellion". Before the counter-rebellion army from the central Japanese government arrived, the two rebel groups had already been suppressed by the local samurai.

From then on, the Sheguan family and the Wu family began to fight each other.

Until the tragedy of Tsushima happened...

Goryeo's arrogance aroused the hatred of the Japanese, and the Khitan's win over made the Sheguan family and the Wu family focus on the outside world.

After all, the reason why they fight among themselves is because the economic system is broken and the benefits are unevenly distributed. Now that there is a piece of fat in front of them, why fight for the bones next to them?

So the two brothers Fujiwara Minori and Fujiwara Shisuke of the Seki family took the lead, and the Qing and Genji clan responded, uniting the samurai families from all over the Japanese country to send troops to Goryeo.

With the outbreak of foreign wars, all internal conflicts were resolved. Fujiwara Minori, as the de facto leader of the Japanese country today, rarely had any leisure time. He hugged his beloved wife and concubines at home and listened to the singer singing Bai Juyi's "Willow Branch".

The Japanese country also has its own songs, but Fujiwara Minoyori only loves to listen to Tang music and thinks that Tang music is the most beautiful music in the world.

Only the greatest country can have such beautiful songs.

The Tang Dynasty has perished, and only the Japanese country has such songs.

In the eyes of Fujiwara Minori, Japan is the most powerful country in the East.

When the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, the Japanese country spared no effort to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty. However, with the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese country no longer bothered to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty since the first year of its founding, that is, during the reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty.

They disdained being associated with the declining Tang Dynasty and regarded themselves as suzerains in the east, sending messages to all directions to ask them to surrender to them.

At the same time, Fujiwara also implemented a closed-door policy, became blindly arrogant, and lost his understanding of the outside world.

So much so that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wu and Yue wanted to show off, claiming to be Chinese orthodox, and sent envoys to communicate with Baekje and Japan respectively.

But the Japanese country also treated the envoys of Wu and Yue with the attitude of the country of the rising sun.

Both parties tried to pretend, but ended up being unhappy and broke off all contact.

Although Fujiwara Miyaro also heard about Luo Yuxinchao, Fujiwara Miyagi completely dismissed it and had no intention of sending an envoy to contact him.
