At the same time, Matsudaira Keiyong also summoned his conspirators, Hashimoto Zuochi, to describe his experiences in Europe and other countries in detail, hoping that Hashimoto Zuochi could analyze and analyze for himself. Of course, he also has his own ideas, and he speaks them together.

"When I was in Europe, I learned a lot..."

Before Songping Keiyong went to Europe, he was still very disgusted with going to foreigners' realm. After all, his goal was to compete for the authority of the shogunate. Being thrown to Europe means losing the qualification to compete in Edo. But after he went to the Continent and learned a lot of popular political, economic, ideological, cultural and other information in European countries, his political ideas also underwent considerable changes.

Before, his idea was very simple. To make General Tokugawa the king of Japan, and then establish the House of Nobles, it would be better to call it a noble republic rather than a constitutional monarchy.

To put it bluntly, the princes dispersed the power originally held by General Tokugawa alone, and then concentrated it on a few or a certain noble councilor. This noble councilor, of course, it is best to be him Matsudaira Keiyong. After all, in the view of Matsudaira Keiyong, he is the best in all of Japan, and the rest are trash, only me can do it.

But his ideas have not been universally accepted or sufficiently supported. It's not too bad to be stillborn. After all, he was kicked to Europe before the embryo was formed.

Well now, after combining his European experience, Matsudaira Keiyong further improved his idea, and this idea seems to be somewhat feasible.

The virtual monarch is constitutional!

The buzzword, after Songping Qingyong came out of Tian An's house, he understood one thing, unless dozens or hundreds of Tokugawa Songping died in an instant, he would never be able to sit on the throne of the general. of.

It seems that the descendants of the general's family are withering away, and the three imperial families and the three emperors have the prestige of having no eggs. But apart from the sect family, each of the three royal families has their own royal branch. Even if the three families of the royal family are extinct, their own royal family will be replaced. Matsudaira Keiyong, who had already inherited the Echizen Matsudaira clan, wanted to take the position of general, but wouldn't he have to kill dozens of people all at once, all dead.

Moreover, the sons of former generals like Songping Qixuan and Songping Qimin are still alive, even if those dozens of people die, there is still a fight for the position of this general.

This is the premise! Since I can't sit on the throne of the general, then I will strive to be the eldest elder or the first among the elders. In the early years, Matsudaira Keiyong had such an idea, and he was still engaged in various political struggles within the framework of the shogunate system. Then I watched Tokugawa Qi Zhao and Tokugawa Qingdou were carefully killed alive.

So he began to change his method, trying to disrupt the rule of the shogunate by honoring the king and rejecting the barbarians, and then he came forward as a "Xianhou" to stabilize the overall situation. As a result, he found that the gangsters were all indiscriminate gadgets with little or no success. They were useless at all, not even qualified cannon fodder.

In the end, the constitutional monarchy introduced into Japan from abroad won his favor.

However, constitutional monarchy means that there is a monarch first, and then there is a constitution. Suppose, oh, just suppose, Her Majesty has the power to forcibly dissolve the parliament and not to convene the next parliament. Just from this point of view, the monarch is greater than the constitution. It looks as if the parliament has restrained the monarch, but in fact the monarch habitually does not use the power he has.

Thinking about it this way, even if Japan realizes a constitutional monarchy, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he is nothing but something to be kicked away at any time by General Tokugawa. No matter how high a courtier is, and it is said to be above ten million people, but after all, it is still under one person, and this person still has the power to kill or kill the courtier.

The high-spirited Matsudaira Qingyong is absolutely unwilling to accept such a thing.

It should be me who decides the world's major affairs, generals or something, just hang down your clothes and govern the world. Before returning to China, he was still thinking that if the Tokugawa family died, Shimaru would succeed him. A seven- or eight-year-old child is useless, and it is time for him to show his strength.

However, as soon as he returned to the country, he found that the one sitting on the throne of the general was actually Changjun Chuyouemon. It is absolutely impossible to pretend to be Chuemon who is in his thirties, young and powerful, and quite famous.

The military power is in the hands of Chuyouemon and Matsudaira Qixuan. As long as the military power is stable, the generals of the shogunate have the right to speak loudly, and all the princes can only listen, and are not allowed to force Lailai.

This road does not work, and we need to find a new way.

After a little consideration, Matsudaira Qingyong thought of a more suitable candidate, Emperor Xiaoming!

Since there is no way for me to kill Tokugawa Matsudaira and the others, and there is no way I can kill General Tokugawa Zhongzheng, then I have to find a way to bring the General and me to the same starting line.

How to pull? Simple. Establish the Japanese Empire and embrace the "emperor" of Emperor Xiaoming. But this emperor is just an empty shell, a virtual monarch, who is actually in charge of government affairs. He used to be the Taizheng minister of the Fujiwara clan, and now he is the general of the Gen clan.

Japan itself has a tradition of Xu Jun for many years. The emperor has always had no real power. This is the consensus of the vast majority of people today. Even Emperor Xiaoming himself believes that the world should be ruled by General Tokugawa. Until his death, he also opposed the overthrow of the Tokugawa family's shogunate rule.

Very good, very good, Emperor Xiaoming continues to be a puppet. Chuemon, the Tokugawa general, has become an ordinary prince. At most, he only has 4.5 million stone in his territory~lightnovelpub.net~ Three hundred princes come to the noble council together, one for each votes to decide the major events of the whole country.

By virtue of the world-renowned virtue and virtue of Songping Chunyue, it is not Tokugawa Zhongzheng who kicked some **** and became the head of the princes!

And by doing so, he did not destroy the Tokugawa General's family, and he could not bear the infamy of being a villain or a usurper. All of us were originally courtiers of the Emperor Xiaoming, but more than 200 years ago, the Emperor entrusted the general affairs of the whole country to the Tokugawa Shogun's family.

The emperor can completely withdraw the entrusted policy, then all of us are the emperor's subjects, what is the difference? You are you, I am me, and everyone is just a minister in the same hall.

Abandoning those unpleasant infamy, Songping Qingyong thinks more and more that this method is good. It is impossible for Emperor Xiaoming to seize power anyway. He has neither soldiers nor money. According to the thinking of normal people, there is no possibility of seizing power.

When this very great plan was realized, Matsudaira Keiyong was the first Prime Minister of the Japanese Empire, and he was also the Great Speaker of the Noble Parliament, leading the whole of Japan forward.

In the future of this country's youth history, he will definitely leave an indelible mark.
