While the action to occupy the stronghold was steadily advancing, Li Mu did another thing at the same time. That is, to overturn the saying of "Emperor" in Japan and reshape the political system of Japan.

In fact, in the early Tang Dynasty, the theory of the emperor of Japan had just appeared. The first person to propose the theory of "Emperor" was Prince Shengto, the father of Yamabe's eldest brother. When he was regent in Japan, he wrote a letter to Emperor Yang Yang, who wrote a letter to Emperor Yang of Sui, which said that "Emperor East is respectful to Emperor Baixi", which once aroused the anger of Emperor Yang of Sui.

At the same time, this Prince Shengde also did something, which could be said to have opened up the source of the fraud of the Kingdom of Japan. In order to allow future generations to accept the "Emperor", he created the legal rationality of "Imperial Power and Heavenly Grants". With the Taoist theory of the Xinyou Year, the Prince Shengde implemented reforms in the Turtle Dove Palace in the Nine Years of Guigu, and the Year of Xinyou Years of Xinyou were the year of change. The 21st year of Xinyou was the year of radical change. Therefore, Prince Shengde used the nine years of Guigu as the starting point to push up the 21st year of Xinyou year as the year of the founding of the Kingdom of Japan. It stipulated that the 1st day of the lunar calendar of that year was the day when Emperor Shenwu ascended the supreme. According to this calculation method, the imperial system was calculated forward for about a thousand years.

In this thousand-year gap, Japan has no written records. In order to fill this gap, he artificially installed more than ten fictional emperors. He also compiled chronological stories for each emperor, which can be called an old gunman. Prince Shengto compiled the history of Japan according to this logic. He also burned down almost all the folk historical materials he could find, making the history he wrote the only historical basis that future generations could find.

But in fact, Japan does not have such a long history? The truly well-documented emperor only has real objects since the 15th Emperor Yingshen.

Emperor Yingshen had a tomb in existence, and historical materials were relatively complete. He developed Chigou, built water conservancy, and vigorously developed agriculture. In the 16th year of Yingshen, Wang Ren, a native of Baekje, came to Japan with 10 volumes of "The Analects of Confucius" and 1 volume of "Thousand Characters" and Chinese characters were introduced to Japan. Japan began to use Chinese characters - formal documents used Chinese characters, and Chinese characters were pronunciated in Japanese. In the era of Yingshen, corresponding to the Three Kingdoms period of the Central Plains, a large number of coastal people had no way out due to war. These people brought advanced culture and production technology to Japan, which greatly promoted the development of Japan. It was also at this time that Japan began to consciously send people to the Central Plains for exchanges.

From the late Three Kingdoms to the early Tang Dynasty, it has a history of no more than three hundred years at most. Compared with the great China, it is not worth mentioning.

The Emperor's theory has only appeared less than a hundred years ago. Even in Japan, it is not deeply rooted. Most Japanese people still think they are Yamato people, but they don't care much about the Emperor's theory.

This is also the confidence of Li Mu's determination to overthrow the Emperor's theory. After all, if the people already agree with the Emperor's theory, it is still difficult to change it forcibly. It is very important that he wants to colonize Japan and cannot arouse public anger.

After so many days of investigation and research, Li Mu has summarized a lot of experience. One of the most obvious manifestations is that the Japanese are still very interested in the Celestial Kingdom. They have an infinite yearning for the Central Plains, and they yearn for anything related to the Central Plains.

Some people who moved to Japan a few generations ago would be complacent because their ancestors had Central Plains blood. Many people even joined the camp of Shanbei Big Brother King, not for the Shanbei Big Brother King, but for the Tang Dynasty standing on his side. They didn't believe it at all. With the Suwo family and his son, they could go to war with the Heavenly Kingdom. The visual impact brought by the huge ten thousand stone ship made them unswervingly believe that the strength of the Heavenly Kingdom was unlimited.

In this regard, there is no difference between Japan in later generations.

Li Mu took advantage of this and gave both kindness and power. He gave pro-Tang Japanese avenues to "rise" and at the same time deepened this gap and maintained the generational gap between the two countries. The technology and any form of help he gave to Japan were eliminated by the Tang Dynasty. Let the Japanese aspire to the Tang Dynasty forever, solidify this concept, and make it deeply rooted.

On the other hand, he also began to think about legal principles.

He gathered scholars from Japan to revise the history of Japan. Although it was difficult to find folk historical materials, people could still find them. Many of them even participated in the work of Prince Shengde compiling the history of Japan. After all, Prince Shengde had only been dead for a few years, so it was very normal for these people to live.

Li Mu gave these scholars considerable respect. He did not force these scholars to tamper with historical materials like Prince Shengde, but hoped that they would revise the history of Japan with a rigorous attitude. Because Li Mu knew in his heart that if the fraud of Prince Shengde was excluded, the history of Japan would be of no praise and was closely related to the Central Plains dynasty.

The scholars he found were all those who were dissatisfied with Prince Shengde's tampering with history. They dared not speak out at the time, but now with Li Mu and the support of the Tang Dynasty, they all held the idea of ​​correcting the tampered and incomplete history without anyone urging them, without any urgency.

Soon, they refuted the dozen or so emperors that Prince Shengto worked hard to "create" one by one. Just like Li Mu's memory, they shortened the history of the current emperor to the fifteenth emperor, and revised the age of the fifteenth emperor.

In the history compiled by Prince Shengto, Emperor Yingshen lived 110 years old, which was almost impossible in ancient times. After correction, the age became sixty-nine. Although he was not young, he was relatively reliable.

At the same time, they dig deep into history and called the Kingdom of Japan before Emperor Ying Shen an ancient Kingdom. In their definition, the Kingdom of Japan was a consortium composed of hundreds of countries of all sizes. There is evidence to be found. Some people have seen that Prince Shengto had a seal with five words engraved on it, King Wennu of Han. And in the books Li Mu carried with the ship, the evidence was found.

"Han Shu Geography" records: "There are Japanese people in the Lelang Sea, divided into more than a hundred countries, and presented them according to the year of the year."

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Dongyi" "In the second year of the Zhongyuan period of Jianwu, the Japanese country was congratulated by the tribute and congratulated him, and he made someone call himself a doctor, and Guangwu gave him a seal."

These records can restore a fact. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were hundreds of countries of ancient Japan, and in order to use the authority of the powerful Han Empire to gain a position above other tribal kingdoms, one of the larger tribal kings sent envoys to pay homage to the Han Dynasty emperor. The Han Dynasty emperor praised him for his respect from afar, granted gold seals and named him Japanese. At the same time, another fact was that the Japanese country at that time was a slave society. Because there was a record in the "Three Kingdoms: Book of Wei": "The Japanese people did not steal in the southeastern sea of ​​the belt... (the countries) did not steal, and they had few disputes. If they violated the law, the minor ones would lose their wives, and the serious ones would destroy their doors. The clans had different orders, and they were enough to surrender... The lower households met the road of the adults, and they were on their way to go. They were spreading words and squatting or kneeling, and they held the ground with both hands, and respected them."

Based on these researches, we can draw conclusions. That is, the current Emperor's line was supported by the Central Plains dynasty and unified one of the hundreds of small countries in Japan. Otherwise, how would I explain the statement that Prince Shengto would have the seal of "King of Han Vainu" in his hands?

When Emperor Ying Shen unified Japan and established the Emperor's line, it was just in time for the war in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Emperor's line no longer relied on the Central Plains and formed a faction. This was why Prince Shengto later made fraud and advocated a series of things for generations.

In the real situation, the king of Japan must be recognized by the Central Plains dynasty to have legal legitimacy. Prince Shengde may have realized this and wanted future generations to break free from the shackles, so he chose to make up random things.

What Li Mu had to do was to make things right, eliminate the stories made up by Prince Shengde and restore the truth of history. The core issue is now very clear. If you want to prove that what scholars say has a basis, just find the golden seal.

Li Mu asked Shanbei's eldest brother King if he had seen a golden seal. Shanbei's eldest brother King said he had seen it and described the appearance, size, weight, etc. of the golden seal, which was exactly the same as the scholars who proposed this matter. However, when asked where the golden seal was, he couldn't explain it clearly.

When Suwo Yui established the new emperor, all these things fell into his hands. Maybe he handed the golden seal to the current Emperor Shu Ming, or maybe he left the golden seal privately, which is something that is unsure.

However, the current emperor's residence is in Edo, and it is not close to the base of the Suwo family, so there must be a rush to find a small piece of gold and silver.

Just when Li Mu was at a loss, the ships returning to Yangzhou Port were loaded with supplies. As the ships came, Dugu Jiu and twenty secret guards were also there. Dugu Jiu was escorting Bai Qiaoqiao and others to Yangzhou. After arriving in Yangzhou, he happened to meet Mrs. Lu who came to Yangzhou to see her son. The bearded guest was always around Mrs. Lu. With him, even if all the thieves came, they would definitely not be close to them and did not need Dugu Jiu's protection at all. Just as the ship returned to the port, Dugu Jiu followed the ship.

The three brothers had not seen each other for many days, so they naturally had to welcome him. Seeing that Li Mu was depressed, Dugu Jiu asked the reason. Li Chongyi told Li Mu about the difficulties he encountered, and Dugu Jiu laughed. He asked Li Mu to wait for a while, and soon he pulled a small man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks over.

"Brother, I'll introduce you to me. This is my secret guard. His surname is Shi Saner. He is a person with unique skills. Does your brother have any impression of him?"

"Shi San'er?" Li Mu looked at Shi San'er for a moment and said to himself, "I don't know Shi San'er, but I recognize Shi Qian, but after staring at the man carefully for a while, Li Mu remembered and pointed at Shi San'er and said, "I was in the Dali Temple Prison. Did you dig a hole and want to save me?"

Shi Saner grinned and said, "It was a villain who was working under Manager Bai's hands. Now he was not disliked by the tutor Bai. He was already a member of the secret guard." Just when Li Mu was at a loss, the ship returning to Yangzhou Port was full of supplies. With the ships, there were Dugu Jiu and twenty secret guards.

Shi Saner grinned and said, "It was a villain who was working under Manager Bai at that time. Now Chengmeng Fushi is not disliked, he is already a member of the secret guard." In Chengmeng Fushi is not disliked, he is already a member of the secret guard."
