Taika Kaishin No Kuromaku (Shodensha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] On June 12, 645, Emperor Nakatahio and Nakatomi Kamako (Kamatari) defeated Soga Iruka at the palace as planned and destroyed the tyrannical Soga clan. The series of social reforms promoted in the wake of this coup d'etat "Otomi Incident" are called "Taika Kaishin" in textbooks. However, was this really a social reform in Japan? The description in "Nihon Shoki" is also unnatural. Why was Nakatahiro, the son of Emperor Seimei, not able to ascend to the throne immediately after his success in destroying the Soga clan? On the other hand, Emperor Kotoku, who ascended to the throne, had an unknown father whose name is not mentioned in the "Shoki" and whose origins are unknown. The "perpetrators" of the downfall of the Soga clan were Nakatahio and Kamatari. However, there were two "masterminds" behind the destruction of the Soga clan who were trying to shake up the Japanese government itself. Who are they?

六四五年六月一二日、中大兄皇子と中臣鎌子(鎌足)は計画どおり宮殿で蘇我入鹿を討ち、専横な蘇我氏を滅ぼした。このクーデター「乙巳の変」を機に推し進められた一連の社会改革を、教科書では「大化改新」と呼ぶ。だが、それは本当に倭国の社会改革だったのか。『日本書紀』の記述も不自然だ。舒明天皇の皇子である中大兄は、蘇我氏滅亡の功績がありながら、なぜすぐに即位できなかったのか。一方、即位した孝徳天皇は父親の名が『書紀』に記されず、出自不詳の人物なのだ。蘇我氏滅亡の“実行犯”は中大兄や鎌足だった。しかし、その背後には倭国の体制自体を大きく動かそうとする二人の“黒幕”がいた。その正体とは?
