Chapter 399: Abdication

What happened, and why did His Majesty the Emperor take it so seriously?

In the memory of the ministers, only a few ceremonial ceremonial emperors wore ceremonial robes that symbolized the power of the supreme emperor, and since his accession to the throne, there have been only a handful of such times. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation was so unexpected that the ministers even forgot to greet the emperor.

"Ladies and ......gentlemen," said Emperor Akihito, who sat down on the main seat and spoke openly.

Only then did everyone realize that they had lost their temper, but it was no longer good to make up for their mistakes, so they had to listen to their ears.

"In a few days, it will be the anniversary of our country's defeat......" Akihito's gloomy eyes revealed a thick memory, and he said slowly: "I vaguely remember His Majesty Showa's instructions when he was dying, to strengthen the army and strengthen the country, develop the economy, and reproduce the glory of Japan. ”

At the mention of Emperor Showa, all the ministers were in awe, and their faces showed piousness.

"Helplessly, I have no way to govern the country, and I am powerless to lead everyone to prosperity. The words suddenly changed, and the emperor's face suddenly became heavy.

Hearing his self-defeating words, Xiao Zhi's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why are you saying such a thing? The whole country is proud of Your Majesty, Japan's economy is moving towards recovery, and its military strength has also developed by leaps and bounds, and it won't be long before ......"

Prime Minister Ono's words were interrupted by a wave of the Emperor's hand, and his smile that looked at everything and was relieved made the ministers' hearts chill, and they vaguely guessed what was going on.

"I'm old, should I abdicate and make way for Xian, should I learn from Queen Elizabeth and sit on the throne until death? Dekang's age and experience are more suitable for running the palace, why not?" Sure enough, the emperor really has the heart to abdicate and make way for Xian!

When he knew that he would not escape, in order not to embarrass the Japanese imperial family, he decisively thought of this method.

As long as he abdicates, his private life, the crimes he has committed, will be kept out of the public eye, and the impact will be minimized.

"No, Your Majesty, how can such a thing be said and done!" Ono was terrified, his expression as frightened as if his father had died.

The abdication of the emperor is a potential danger to him, and it may cause a storm in the House of Representatives, which will be detrimental to his administration, and if he encounters strong public distrust, Ono's position as prime minister can easily be lost.

"It's just a matter of informing everyone what has already been decided. "Abdication or not, it is indeed the emperor who has the final say, so categorical and irrefutable, only a sigh is left in the room.

Crown Prince Dekang obviously has not been able to digest this surprise from the sky, he is full of thought that he will wait another ten or eight years, just like the British Crown Prince Duke Charles, until his old son dies, will have a chance to ascend the throne and inherit the throne.

"Your Majesty, we respect your decision, the specific date is ......," Minister of Economy Hirohiro Suzuki asked softly.

"Just tomorrow. The Emperor replied with a solemn and helpless expression.

Tomorrow, the ministers will be caught off guard again, how can such a major event be so hasty, at least inform the whole country, release information to the embassies of various countries, prepare for ten days and a half months, do a good job of all kinds of handover work, and then carry out the abdication ceremony......

"Does Your Majesty have any troubles?" Ono twisted his eyebrows, lowered his head and asked bitterly, "If you encounter any trouble, please be sure to inform us!"

He guessed right, Emperor Akihito did have a hard time, otherwise how could he make such a decision, but this kind of thing cannot be made public, and for the sake of dignity, even in front of his confidant Minister Ono, it cannot be revealed.

"Ono-kun......" Akihito was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Let's delay the visit to the shrine for the time being......"

At this time, Ono still had the heart to pay homage, of course, he nodded and agreed.

The Emperor's abdication was enough for him to have a headache, but after a period of suppressed silence, Akihito added: "Ladies and gentlemen, let ......me announce it to the people now! I hope that you will be able to assist Dekang and restore the honor of the Great Japanese Empire. ”

"Your Majesty......" an elderly minister sobbed silently and fell to the ground.

The faces of each and every cabinet member were filled with a sad color, and the atmosphere was very oppressive and breathless.

Akihito will become the first emperor in modern Japanese history to voluntarily abdicate, compared to his father and grandfather, he can be said to be inactive and mediocre in his life, but abdication has become the most colorful stroke in his entire career.

The Imperial Cabinet meeting was over, and every minister left the palace with a sad and helpless feeling.

Kenichiro Ono returned to the Prime Minister's official residence and sat in his study for a long time, unable to calm down, did he really want to inform the people about this?

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" a voice rang out outside the door.

"Come in. Ono's eyes rolled slightly, and he straightened his posture.

The door opened, and a tall man dressed in a samurai suit entered, and he turned out to be Miyashino Yo, Yasuda Kenji's retainer, the head of the Koga ninja.

Since that day after the Battle of Dragon City, Miyakuno Yang fled and smuggled from Songshi to Thailand, and finally returned to Tokyo half a month ago and defected to the new master, Kenichiro Ono.

"What's the matter?" Ono asked, raising an eyebrow.

"My lord, I have received news that the palace has changed today. "Neither of them is a good bird, and after the embarrassment, Miyachino Yang was sent to monitor the emperor's movements and control every move of the imperial family.

The prime minister and the emperor, nominally a relationship between courtiers and the monarch, are in fact the same bed and different dreams, each with different intentions, and the prime ministers of successive generations want to expand the scope of power on the existing basis, and the emperor hopes to recreate the dream of the monarch of the past.

When Kenichiro Ono heard the news, his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Say it quickly!"

"Hey!" Gong Qiye Yang nodded heavily, lowered his voice and said, "The palace broke into an uninvited guest today, and his identity is still under investigation. In addition, Her Royal Highness the Princess's whereabouts have been unknown since the afternoon, and agents are still looking for her. ”

"Yo Xi!" Ono narrowed his triangular eyes, it turned out that this was the reason why the emperor was going to abdicate, who could be the person who trespassed on the palace?

"Continue to investigate these two things! Find out the whereabouts of Li Mo, report to me immediately!"

"Hey!"

Sun City Hotel, Kiyosha Yumi washed away the bad luck of prison and appeared in front of everyone with a new look.

"Where are you going to eat?" Ye Fan got up with a smile.

"Is sushi okay? Tachibana asked with a smile in her crooked eyes.

"Listen to you, eat sushi. Ye Fan waved his hand: "Limo, don't hurry up! I'll make a call and call them together." ”

Who else?

Xiao Wushuang secretly guessed, wouldn't it be a woman again?

In the private room of a famous sushi restaurant in Ginza, Ye Fan sat down with several women.

"You Mei, you order tonight, I'll pay the bill!" Ye Fan pushed the menu in front of her.

Kiyosa Yumi stared at him, but she was not polite, flipped through the menu, and began to order food one by one.

The pleasant knocking sound of high heels sounded outside the private room, and Ye Fan raised his head and smiled: "They are here." ”

"Yumi!" Concubine Hojo rushed in with a gust of fragrant wind, and behind her, followed by a long-haired beauty who was also anxious and expectant, Yoshiko Yasuda!

Inside and outside the room, several pairs of moving eyes showed stunning colors, they didn't expect that there would be several beauties gathered here, all of them with good looks and detached temperaments.

"Concubine Ma......" Qingsha Yumei muttered.

"Great, Young Master Ye, thank you!" Concubine Hojo cried with joy, with a little tears rippling in her eyes, and bowed to Ye Fan again and again.

"My own people, what do you say outside the world?" Ye Fan smiled: "Come on, come on, you all know each other." ”

The women looked at each other, all of them looking surprised.

Hojo, Yasuda, Tachibana, at this moment, this sushi restaurant is actually gathered in the hands of the three major families in Japan!

It can be said that with their strength, they are completely able to paralyze Japan's national economy!

"Miss Mafei, Miss Yoshiko, it's really the first time we've met!" said Tachibana Sasa, smiling reservedly.

Yoshiko Yasuda bowed flatteredly and said, "Risha-senpai, I didn't expect to see you here......"

"Hehe, we are all friends of Ye Fanjun, and we will be a family in the future......" Tachibana Pear Sa's words made Hojo Mafei can't help but glance at Ye Fan more, her eyes are full of admiration, in just one day's work, he even got the orange pear yarn done, what else in this world can stump him?

Listening to the three women nodding and bowing, and saying endless kind words, Xiao Wushuang was surprised, it turned out that she really underestimated this man.

He is not only a rogue, a pervert, and a wicked king, but his connections can reach such a staggering level, what else is surprising about him?

In the entire box, only Li Mo had a disgusted expression, silent, and a gloomy little face, as if everyone owed her a debt.

"Alright, let's all sit down and talk! Yoshiko, sit down next to me. Ye Fan greeted with a smile.

Receiving special attention, Yoshiko Yasuda blushed, put down her bag, and sat down on his left side obediently.

At the long table, with Ye Fan as the center, there are two rows of the top and most powerful beauties in Japan!

A princess, three principals of the consortium, plus a descendant of the Iga ninja......
