On the first day of June in the 42nd year of Kanei, Japan, a group of dignitaries wearing Tang suits had gathered outside the Dingding Gate of Heian Jing, Japan.

That's right, he is wearing a Tang suit! To be more precise, it is the official uniform of the Tang Dynasty, a round-necked robe, a futou on his head, black leather Liuhe boots on his feet, and various belts and fish (

The colors of turtle bags and round-necked robes are also different, including purple, scarlet, dark green, light green, dark cyan, light cyan, etc. If it weren’t for the general shrinkage in height, it would really look like he accidentally traveled through time.

Tang Dynasty.

But what is certain is that Emperor Koiko, who is now in charge of Japan, must be a very fanatical Tang fan. According to the "Kan'ei Ryuto" she formulated, the civilian equipment that symbolized the decline of Japanese imperial power was abolished, and the Japanese imperial power that symbolized the strength of Japanese imperial power was abolished.

Tang-style costumes from the Nara period were restored.

In addition to restoring the "Tang suit", Emperor Koko also had to complete the "Tang city". Just one year before the opening of Edo without blood, she issued a "general invitation from all over the world" order, ordering the lords of Japan to send civil servants to participate in the Heian Kyoto

The construction of this thousand-year-old unfinished project.

After a year and a half of intense construction, the construction of Luocheng in Ping'an Jing was finally completed. Ping'an Jing finally had a city wall covered with rammed earth and bricks and several tall and imposing Tang-style city gates. At this moment, a large group of officials in Tang costumes gathered at Dingding Gate.

It is one of them. The location of the Dingding Gate is approximately in the area of ​​the original Rashomon. After entering the gate, there is the renovated Suzaku Street. In addition to Suzaku Street, there are ten north-south streets and thirteen east-west streets in Heian Capital.

's street.

Excluding the areas occupied by the Kyoto Imperial Palace, Sento Imperial Palace, and Nijo Castle, the remaining area within the Heian Kyoto City is divided into eighty-eight quarters by these twenty-four streets. These eighty-eight quarters are further divided into walled official quarters and

There are forty-two private houses without walls, all located in the north of Heian-kyo. Two of them are used by the government offices in Heian-kyo, and the rest are the residences of high-ranking officials in the capital and protons of daimyo from various places. These high-ranking officials and

Most of the protons, now dressed in Tang attire, gathered outside the Dingding Gate, waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests.

There are a total of forty-six private houses without walls, all located in the south of Heian Kyo. They are the residences of industrialists and businessmen or the families of the emperor's military personnel. Many of the people living in the private houses in the south of the city gathered here to be on guard without having anything to do.

Watch the excitement on both sides of the strict Zhuque Street.

There are many officers and soldiers of the Northern Army directly under the emperor maintaining order on Suzaku Street. The so-called Northern Army is the army commanded by the Northern Samurai. The equipment, training and tactics are similar to those of the Ming Army. They are usually stationed in Nijo Castle, waiting for the Emperor at any time.

The current Nijo Castle has undergone several rounds of reconstruction and expansion. It covers a large area and can not only accommodate the emperor and her men, but also serve as the office of the imperial court and station a large number of troops.

When it was almost noon, there was another commotion around Nijo Castle, and then we saw a large group of northern army cavalry, guarding a two-wheeled carriage pulled by six tall maroon horses, driving majestically from Nijo Castle.

Come out, go up Zhuque Street, and then go to Dingding Gate.

Sitting on the carriage was Emperor Xingzi, who was wearing a hairpin ceremonial dress specially worn by empresses of the Tang Dynasty. Although she was the emperor, except for wearing the black emperor's fur hat at court gatherings and ceremonies, she wore the Tang Dynasty dress on all other occasions.

women's clothing.

Of course, those who could welcome the Emperor in person were the Emperor's man, Zhu Cijiong, and his brother, the great nephew of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cixiang.

The two brothers can now see the majestic Dingding Gate from a distance!

Zhu Cixiang glanced at the Tang-style tower of Dingdingmen from a distance, and then turned his attention to his proud and shameless brother Zhu Cijiong.

Zhu Cijiong couldn't wait to be the emperor, and he openly put on the emperor's red emperor's uniform. Of course, it was not Ming style, but the Tang style emperor's uniform, which was very similar to the Ming style emperor's uniform. This outfit was so beautiful.

Coupled with Zhu Cijiong's martial arts style, he is not the Meiji Emperor, he is simply the Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin!

Zhu Cihong looked at himself again. He was wearing the emperor's regular clothes. The color and style were not much different from Zhu Cijiong's clothes.

But he will soon be the real emperor! And what about me? I am still a nephew of the emperor, and I don’t know that I will be the emperor until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

I don’t know whether he wanted to comfort Zhu Cihong or anger Zhu Cihong. After Zhu Cijiong saw the Huangluo umbrella cover on the emperor’s car outside Dingding Gate from a distance, he smiled and said to Zhu Cihong: "Brother, Xingzi has come out to greet us two.

In a few days, she will be the Emperor and the Empress, and I will be the Emperor of Japan! But I won’t be able to do this for many years. When Renxiao’s child grows up, I will give up the throne to him and become emperor together with Xingzi.

When the time comes, I’ll invite you to come and watch the ceremony!”

Do you even want to be the emperor? Zhu Cixiang's face darkened a little after hearing this.

He doesn't even know when he can become the emperor, but his brother is thinking about becoming the emperor. They were both born in an emperor's family, so why are they so different?

Zhu Cijiong’s irritating words are not over yet!

"Actually, I am not the first person in our family to become a Taishang. The fourth child is more fortunate than me. He has been a Taishang for several years."

The fourth child, Zhu Cizhao, has long been the Supreme Emperor! But he is not the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme King. After he won the battle to help Li and destroy Zheng, he regretfully found that all the direct descendants of the Li Dynasty had been brutally killed by Lord Zheng.

There was only one girl left, so he made her Queen Annan. In order to prevent the girl from feeling lonely, he generously gave up his son and made him the husband of Prince Annan. And that queen worked for several years.

, felt that being a king was meaningless, so he abdicated the throne to her husband and became the queen herself. And Zhu Cizhao was revered as the Supreme King because his son became the king.

Zhu Cixiang immediately felt bad when he thought that his brothers had worked as emperors until they retired, and he was still a nephew of the emperor.

And that's not even worse. What's even worse is that Zhu Cixiang is very likely to skip the emperor and directly live a happy life as the Supreme Emperor.

Because his son, the local tycoon King Zhu Hehao, has grown very strong in the past two years and can already lead troops to fight independently. Just before Zhu Cixi came to Japan, this man had just led an expeditionary force that defeated the Rakshasa people on the shores of Lake Baikal.

Earlier, he also suppressed the Jurchen rebellion in Heilongjiang and brought back to Beijing the heads of several of Daishan's descendants who had been making trouble for many years without being caught.

Although the scale of these two wars was not large, Zhu Cihong, as a military expert, knew that such small-scale expeditions were very difficult to fight, and if he was not careful, his entire army would be annihilated. And Zhu Cixiang

He and Hao both won very handsomely, which shows that he has extremely high military qualities and is an emperor grandson who knows how to fight.

Oh, by the way, those who followed Zhu Hehao on the expedition were not the troops in front of the emperor's tent in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Hehao's guards of the King of Yan. These were his private soldiers!

After being so powerful as a private soldier, can you still be willing to be an old prince?

When he was worried, Zhu Cijiong whispered to Zhu Cihong: "Brother, don't be anxious. Once the younger brother is firmly seated on the throne, I will help the elder brother ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

What? Are you serious? Zhu Cixiang turned to look at his good brother, feeling moved and scared at the same time.

Zhu Cijiong smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, eldest brother. The younger brother is a filial son just like the eldest brother. He will never do anything unfaithful or unfilial."

Then how do you force the old man to abdicate? Zhu Cihong said to himself, you want to use this matter as an excuse to defraud money, right?

Zhu Cijiong said: "Brother, I can honestly say that I can use my sharp tongue to convince my father to let him give you the Zen position."
