Fujiwara is no better than the same
Fujiwara Bubi (659-720), originally known as "Nakatoshi", later renamed "Fujiwara Bubi et al.", was a famous politician in Japan from the Asuka period to the early Nara period, he participated in the formulation of the "Great Treasure Law Order", guided the formulation of the "Pension Law Order", during his lifetime, the official Zhizheng two right ministers, posthumously was posthumously awarded the title of Masayoshi Taizheng Minister. Fujiwara Nobi and others laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Fujiwara clan and are known as the "substantial ancestors of the Fujiwara clan".
Fujiwara Nobita's father, Nakatomo Kamakura (nakatomo Kamakasa, who was given the clan name "Fujiwara" by Emperor Tenchi before his death, is believed to be the illegitimate son of Emperor Tenchi), played an important role in the "Otomi Rebellion" (645) in which his elder brother Crown Prince (Tenchi Emperor) killed the powerful minister Su I into the deer, and in the subsequent reform of the centralized system centered on the establishment of the emperor (Daiwa Reform). There are two views on Fujiwara's mother, one view is that it is the daughter of Theoko Cheryū Kuniko, Che-chan and Shiko-no-mi, and the other is that it is the daughter of the Mirror King and the famous talented Queen Eda. Fujiwara no no nobi has two older sisters, Fujiwara Ice Lady and Fujiwara Gobaishi, both of whom are married to Crown Prince Kaijin (Emperor Tenmu).
Fujiwara no more than the other has an older brother named Nakato Makoto. From an early age, Nakato Makoto studied the scriptures with his father, Nakato Kamakura, and was able to never forget it. Soon, Zhongchen Zhenren became a monk with the title of Zhenhui (also known as Dinghui and Dinghui), and was incorporated into the Tang Dynasty to further study Buddhism (653). After studying in Tang for twelve years, Zhenhui returned to Japan with the Tang court's fleet of chakasa dafus, Sima Yizhou, Liu Degao of the Shangzhu state, and the Tang general Guo Wubei in Baekje. At this time, Nakato Kamakasa was already the de facto head of government, and Fujiwara was six years old. When everyone thought that Zhenhui was about to make a big show on the political stage, she died unexpectedly. As a result, Fujiwara Became the Political Heir of the Fujiwara family.
Four years after Sadaki's death (669), Fujiwara Kamakura also died, at a time when Fujiwara was only 11 years old. In 672, the "Rebellion of Nongshen" broke out, and Emperor Tenchi's son, Crown Prince Ōtomo, committed suicide in defeat, while Emperor Tenchi's brother Crown Prince Kaijin inherited the orthodoxy and purged the old forces of the Omi Imperial Court of Emperor Ōtomo. Although Fujiwara Kamakasa's political stance during his lifetime was in favor of the Omi Imperial Court, Fujiwara was only 13 years old and did not participate in the rebellion during the "Nongshen Rebellion", so he was neither punished nor rewarded as a supporter of the Tenmu Imperial Court after the "Nongshen Rebellion".
During the reigns of Emperor Tenmu and Emperor Shōgun, Fujiwara Nobichi did not emerge in politics. In the eleventh year of emperor Zhitong (697), Emperor Zhitong made Sun Ziqing crown prince. Half a year later, the 15-year-old Prince Qing accepted the abdication of Emperor Wenwu as Emperor Wenwu. After Emperor Bunmu ascended the throne, Fujiwara Nobita's daughter Fujiwara Miyako was made a lady, and at the same time, Kinzō Munniang of the Yoshi clan and Ishikawa Tsuneko of the Ishikawa clan were made concubines. At this time, the two families of the Ki clan and the Ishikawa clan were on a par with the Fujiwara clan. Fujiwara Nobichi was able to emerge as a rising star in politics thanks to the following things.
The first thing is that Fujiwara no bihi shares the clan name "Fujiwara". The Fujiwara clan, formerly known as the "Nakato clan", was a clan of the Yamato Imperial Court that presided over sacrifices, and "Nakato" meant to dwell between gods and men. After Nakato Kamakasa received the clan name "Fujiwara", not only his son Fujiwara Nobihi inherited it alone, but also his cousin's children. In the second year of Emperor Bunmu's reign (698), Emperor Bunmu issued an edict declaring that only Fujiwara Nobita and his descendants could inherit the clan name "Fujiwara", while Fujiwara Imimaru and Fujiwara Oshima, who were in charge of sacred affairs, restored the old clan name "Nakatomi". After that, the Nakato clan was responsible for divine affairs, and the Fujiwara clan was liberated from the sacred affairs and was responsible for politics. It is worth noting that from the end of the reign of Emperor Tenmu, many powerful clans of the Yamato era suddenly disappeared, not because they became extinct, but because it was popular among the nobles at that time to change their clan names, such as Su I changed Ishikawa, Monobe changed Ishigami, Abe changed to Bushi, and so on.
The second event was that Fujiwara Nobiki's daughter Fujiwara Miyako gave birth to the first crown prince (Emperor Shengmu). Miyako Fujiwara is the eldest daughter of Fujiwara Fujiwara Andhito and Kamohito. Of Emperor Bunmu's three concubines, Fujiwara Miyako was the first to give birth to a crown prince. According to the custom of the time, the empress must be from the imperial family, and since Emperor Bunmu did not marry a royal woman, Emperor Bunmu did not make an empress. In this case, the first prince born to Fujiwara Miyako undoubtedly ensured the status of his first lady, and also made the first prince the first candidate for the succession to the throne. Although Fujiwara Miyako later suffered from mental illness, the existence of Fujiwara Miyako played a non-negligible role in the take-off of the Fujiwara clan.
The third thing is the combination of Fujiwara Nobi and the prefectural inuyasha Michiyo. Fujiwara Nobichi and others have four wives, namely Kamobi, Sumi,000, Fujiwara Gomyo (half-sister), and Prefectural Inuyasha 3,000. As mentioned above, this article highlights one of her special identities, a nursing mother. In ancient Times, the relationship between the nursing mother of the Imperial Family of Japan and the Crown Prince and the Imperial Daughter was very close. The eldest son of Prefectural Inuyasha Michiyo (Tachibana Brothers) was similar in age to Emperor Tenmu and Emperor Shōgun's only grandson, Crown Prince Light (it is believed that the word "light" was based on the name of Michiyo's original Koichi-gun Koji Village), so Prefectural Inuyo Michiyo became the suckling mother of Prince Konoe and began to raise her son wholeheartedly, gaining the high trust of Crown Prince Kono's grandmother, Emperor Shōgun, and her mother, Empress Abe (wife of the deceased Crown Prince Kusabei). After the light prince ascended the throne, the status of the prefectural inuyasha 3,000 generations increased accordingly. At this moment, Fujiwara Nobita came together with him. The aforementioned marriage of Fujiwara Nobi's daughter, Fujiwara Miyako, to Emperor Bunmu, and Fujiwara Nobi's exclusive clan name of "Fujiwara", etc., would not have been possible without the activities of Prefectural Inuyo Michiyo in the harem, and the power of Fujiwara Nobi alone would not have been possible.
The fourth thing was to compile the Great Treasure Decree. The Daiho Ordinance was nominally the responsibility of the Prince of Punishment, but the actual person in charge was Fujiwara Nobi, who was well versed in the law. The "Dabao Law Order" not only refers to the Tang Dynasty's legal system, but also makes some adjustments in combination with Japan's actual conditions, while strengthening the centralization of power, it also affirms some of the privileges of the local noble families, and is the first truly national law in ancient Japan. Fujiwara Nobiki rose to prominence in the new order of the clan system by compiling the Great Treasure Law Order, and at the same time made the Fujiwara clan stand out in the new order of the clan system.
The last thing was that Fujiwara Nobiki's daughter married Emperor Sekitake. In the same year that Emperor Bunmu and Fujiwara Miyako gave birth to the first prince, Fujiwara Nobichi and Inuyo Michiyo also gave birth to a daughter named Anjutsuhime (Fujiwara Hikariko), who later married Emperor Shengwu. After Fujiwara's death, Fujiwara Akiko, with the help of four brothers, successfully became empress after eradicating The King of Nagaya, setting a precedent for the empress dowager in Japanese history. Fujiwara Mitiko held real political power from her appointment as empress until her death.
Thanks to the above several events, Fujiwara was no better off than during the reign of Emperor Bunmu, Genmei, and Gensho. In the first year of Ōho (701), Fujiwara Nobi was promoted from Naka Nayan to Masamune Daimyo. In the first year of Qingyun (704), Fujiwara Washi was promoted from two to two, and 800 households were added. In the year of the Tongyuan Dynasty (708), Fujiwara Nobi was promoted to the position of Right Minister. In the third year of the Reikaze (717), the left minister Ishigami Maru died, leaving only Fujiwara Fujiwara and the others alone. In the second year of his retirement (718), Fujiwara Nobi was promoted to the position of minister of taizheng, but he resolutely refused to take office, but tried his best to implement the legal system (due to the prevalence of the wind of advocating spiritual and auspicious rui at that time, so the change of yuan was particularly frequent).
In addition to Fujiwara Miyako and Fujiwara Akiko, who were both married to the Emperor, Fujiwara's two other daughters, Fujiwara Nagatoko (whose mother was sold by Kamobi) and Fujiwara Dobino (whose birth mother is unknown), were married to two famous statesmen of ancient Japan, Nagaya Andab and Tachibana brothers, respectively. Fujiwara was still very appreciative of King Nagaya when he was alive, so he married his daughter to him, and the two families lived in harmony and cooperated. As for marrying her daughter to the Tachibana brothers, I am afraid that it is related to the mother of the Tachibana brothers, Tachibana Michiyo, perhaps to further deepen the relationship between the Fujiwara clan and the Tachibana clan through marriage (Fujiwara Nobita's second son Fujiwara Fuzene also married Tachibana Sanchiyo's daughter Queen Muku as his wife).
In addition, Fujiwara Nobi's four sons (divided into the four families of Minami, Hoku, Shi, and Kyo) also held important positions in the imperial court because of their connections and influence.
The eldest son, Fujiwara Takeshi Maru (maternal son Ofomi Mikoto, ancestor of the Fujiwara Nan family), served as the secretary of the shibu in the second year of his retirement (718) and held real power over the appointment of officials. In the first month of the following year, Fujiwara Takeshi Maru was promoted to the rank of Shoji and appointed Tonomiya Fu( 東宫傅), in charge of the education of the first prince. After five years of retirement, when Nagaya Was the Right Minister, Fujiwara Takeshi Maru was promoted to the rank of Nakanaka from the Three. After the first crown prince ascended the throne, Fujiwara Takeshi Maruge rose to the rank of Shosan. After the Nagaya Incident, Fujiwara Takeshi Maruge was promoted to Dainayan and from two right ministers, completely in power. On his deathbed, Fujiwara Takeshi Maru accepted the appointment of a left minister.
The second son, Fujiwara Furame (mother Su I miko, ancestor of the Fujiwara Kita family), served as a senator in the first year of his retirement, and was promoted from three in the fifth year of his retirement. When Emperor Motomyō was critically ill, he summoned Fujiwara Furame and Nagaya Torato, and Fujiwara Furame was given the power to issue orders equivalent to edicts as internal ministers. After Emperor Shengmu ascended the throne, Fujiwara Furamae and his eldest brother Fujiwara Takeshi Maru rose to the throne. In the fifth year of the Kamikaze (728), Fujiwara Washi's predecessor was the newly established General of the Zhongwei Province. After the Nagaya King Incident, Fujiwara was the former Secretary of State, and soon became the envoy of the Tokai and Higashiyama Nichido. In April of the ninth year of Tenpō (737), Fujiwara Furame became the third secretary of the Senate. Fujiwara Furame was posthumously honored as a left minister.
The third son, Fujiwara Ukai (mother Su I,000, ancestor of the Fujiwara style family) was appointed deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the second year of the Linggui (716), with the official position of subordinate to the fifth rank. In the first year of his retirement (717), Fujiwara Uyuru went to Datang and returned to China the following year. After three years of old age, Fujiwara Uchiha was promoted to the rank of shogun of the five positions by sending the deputy envoy of Tang Dynasty, and was appointed as an envoy of the three kingdoms of Anfang, Shangzong, and Shimo-zong. After five years of retirement, Fujiwara Uchiha was promoted to the fourth place. In the first year of the Kamikaze (724), Fujiwara Uyo, who was the secretary of the Shibu Clan, was appointed as the general of the Shōshū To send troops to quell the rebellion in Ezo. Because of this, Fujiwara Uchiha was promoted from the third rank to the second rank the following year. During the Nagaya King Incident, he led the army of the Six Guards to besiege the residence of the Nagaya King. After the Nagaya-no-miya Incident, Fujiwara Uchihae was appointed as the Emissary of the Nishikaido Shōdo as the Secretary of the ShibuBu, the Three Ofshin, and the Daizai Commandery. In the ninth year of the balance, Fujiwara Ukai died as the three sons of Shibu and Daizai.
The fourth son, Fujiwara Maru (mother Fujiwara Goseki- 500-year-old and ancestor of the Fujiwara Kyo family), rose to the fourth rank in the third year of the Kamikaze (726), and the Kamikaze rose from the third in the sixth year. In the third year of The Balance (731), Fujiwara Marug and his elder brother Fujiwara U joined forces as senators, serving as secretaries of the military department, and in the same year as envoys to Yamanagi Town. In the ninth year of The Balance, Fujiwara Marug was sent to Mutsu as an ambassador for the festival, and died of popular smallpox in Mutsu in the same year.
Fujiwara Takechi Makō Kazuwara Mao
Fujiwara Fujiwara was in an era of increasing power among court concubines and female officials. After Emperor Tenmu, during the reign of the four emperors, Shōgun (female emperor), Bunmu, Yuanming (female emperor), and Yuanzheng (female emperor), it can be said that Japan was in the "era of the mother's succession to the throne and raising the crown prince". At this time, due to the emergence of female emperors, the power of the harem was expanding more and more. Fujiwara's rise was not due to the shadow of his father, Fujiwara Kamakura, but to his daughter marrying the emperor and marrying Tachibana Michiyo. After Fujiwara's death, the power of the harem continued to expand. Emperor Shengmu first established Fujiwara Akiko as empress, and then gave way to the Crown Princess Abenai (Emperor Takaaki). Although Empress Dowager Guangming did not have the title of regent, and because she was from the Fujiwara clan, she was not qualified to become the next emperor, but she had greater power than the female emperor of Yuanming and the female emperor of Yuanzheng by ordering the foreign official "Ziwei Zhongtai", and she was an uncompromising "Female Emperor Taishang".
