The Prince of the Sea, who controlled the Yang Water Monkey, took the throne as Emperor Tenmu. Emperor Tenmu aimed for a centralized political system centered on the emperor (individual). Ironically, it had the same direction as Emperor Tenji, the older brother who separated the sword from the feud. Emperor Tenmu first moves the city to Asuka again. Then, the identification system was established by the "eight kabane system" (Yakusano Kabane), and the "Asuka Kiyomihara Ordinance" was established. This form of politics created by Emperor Tenmu became the basis of the subsequent imperial court politics. Prince Omi, who defeated Prince Otomo (Omi Imperial Court Army) in the Jinshin War, remains unbreakable for a while. After finishing the remaining work, I aimed for Asuka instead of Otsunomiya, where the capital was located. Here, we started to build a new city. That is "Kyo Fujiwara" (Fujiwarakyo: also known as Shinyaku no Miyako). Fujiwara Palace (Fujiwara Palace), which consists of the Daigokuden, a place for politics and ceremonies, and the Chodoin, where aristocrats and officials gathered, learning from Tang. ) Was constructed and the road was arranged like a grid, which was the first planned city in Japan. However, due to problems peculiar to the city such as public pollution, the capital was relocated to "Heijokyo" in 710 (Wado 3rd year). It was only 16 years after the completion in 694 (8 years of Jito). A strong centralized system centered on the emperor (individual) also needed legal support. The concrete example of this is the Asuka Kiyomihara Ordinance, which is said to be the oldest decree in Japan that came into effect in 689 (3rd year of Jito). The contents form the skeleton as a decree nation, such as creating a regular family register, collecting the group, and establishing the emperor system as a system. The Asuka Kiyomihara Ordinance is not necessarily a systematic code, as it was created by the rush work at the behest of Emperor Tenmu. However, this led to the Taiho Ritsuryo, the first full-scale decree in Japan enacted in 701 (the first year of Taiho). It can be said that the significance of the Asuka Kiyomihara Ordinance lies in the fact that it created a new national system called the "Ritsuryo Nation" in the turbulent times.
