Reprimanded by the traitorous ministers around him, anger gradually appeared on Liangren's face, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, and slammed the empty glass on the ground.

This move frightened everyone, and some of the cowards even looked around, fearing that the emperor would smash the cup and launch a coup d'état to seize power......

Fortunately, it didn't.

I saw that Liangren straightened his back, raised his voice, and said: "I just said, I am a mediocre person, lacking intelligence, without courage, I should not have become the emperor in the first place, it was you who made me sit in this position, and now you don't let me speak?" ”

Liangren's voice grew louder and louder, and at this time, there was a dazzling light in his eyes.

Sakai Tadakatsu's face twitched slightly, and he immediately reprimanded loudly: "Your Majesty, you have drunk too much!" ”

He found that this kid seemed to be a different person today.

"Shut up!"

Liangren suddenly pointed at Sakai Tadashi and scolded angrily: "You old immortal, you brutalize my brother Shaoren, kill the monarch and betray the lord!" You are a shameless mediocrity of great treachery, and you are the scourge of Japan today! ”

The Chinese military officials of the main hall were shocked, His Majesty the Emperor is crazy? Tired of living? Not afraid of dying young?

Sakai Tadakatsu stood up abruptly and shouted, "Your Majesty is drunk, come on, help him to rest in the backyard!" ”

Taro Yamamoto, who was outside the hall, was like a dog, and immediately led five or six people from the secret service department to rush to the main hall.

Liangren looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, pointed at Sakai Tadakatsu and said, "You fuck, I'm drunk!" ”

He pointed to the officials of the shogunate in the palace and shouted: "And you fucking don't have a monarch, and you are willing to be the lackeys of the shogunate, and you can't die well!" ”

Liangren swears that this is the most painful and comfortable moment he has ever said in his short life.

Gradually, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his body collapsed limply to the ground.

The face of the officials in the hall changed sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, and Tokugawa Ietsuna, who was beside Ryohito, was even more frightened and cried, and the whole scene seemed to have exploded.

Taro Yamamoto rushed to Ryohito's side with a brisk step, only to see that His Majesty the Emperor, who was still full of strength just now, had bled from seven orifices, obviously being poisoned.

Sakai Tadakatsu's face was white and red, angry and nervous, and he shouted, "Tell me quickly, what's the matter with him?" ”

Taro Yamamoto took a closer look at Yoshihito's symptoms, and then replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's poison is arsenic, and the amount is very large......"

Sakai Tadashi was taken aback, and suddenly said, "Someone! Control everyone in the Imperial Palace and make sure to dig up the poisoners! ”

Liangren's pale face showed a faint smile, and he said weakly: "Don't fucking stir up the people, the poison is caused by me!" ”

Sakai Tadashi's old face trembled slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why are you like this!" ”

Liangren glared at Sakai Tadashi hatefully, and his eyes were full of blood and tears: "Because only if I die, I won't be a puppet, and you can't coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and you won't be far from death!" ”

, this is going to end up together!

Sakai Tadashi trembled with anger, I didn't expect this little cub to play so big!

The previous emperor, Shohito, died young, and after his death, there was no heir, and the shogunate arranged for Shohito's younger brother Yoshihito to succeed him.

Now this kid Liangren is only seventeen years old, he hasn't gotten married yet, and he doesn't have an illegitimate child or anything.

At this time, the shogunate was in big trouble, not to mention how to explain to the Japanese subjects how the new emperor died in a good manner, and at this critical moment, it was unrealistic to re-establish the emperor, and time could not catch up!

Because if you want to stand, you can only find one from the side of the imperial family to make up the number, but these members of the imperial family, the closest one to Yoshihito is Yoshihito's grandfather's generation, and most of them live outside of Kyoto, so there is no time to find a number.

The people of the Secret Service Department are rescuing the emperor, and Sakai Tadakatsu is pacing back and forth in the palace, so anxious that no matter what happens, Kyoto must be evacuated today, but how to deal with the emperor's affairs?

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and asked sharply: "Send someone to see if the Emperor is still in the Imperial Palace!" ”

Emperor Taishang, that is, Emperor Mingzheng, the elder sister of Saohito and Ryohito, Xingzi, she accepted her father's abdication at the age of seven, succeeded to the throne as the female emperor, and at the age of twenty she gave up the throne to her half-brother Sakuhito, and lived alone in the harem, accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light.

According to Sakai Tadakatsu's idea, since there is no one to succeed to the throne for the time being, the Emperor Taishang, who was once the emperor, can only be reinstated.

Liangren, who was lying on the ground and refused treatment, said in a weak voice: "Don't bother, Emperor Mingzheng has already left......"

Sakai Tadakatsu knew that something was wrong, so he rushed to Ryohito's side and hurriedly shouted, "Where is the emperor?" Tell me! ”

Ryohito stopped breathing, a mocking smile on his face.

In the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials cried in unison, very suddenly.

The emperor died, whether it was the emperor of China or the emperor of Japan, whether the emperor had real power or not, whether he was deaf or not, as long as he died, all the courtiers must cry bitterly!

This is a rule, a ritual, a procedure, and it has nothing to do with grief, just crying.

Don't cry? That is, there is no monarch and a disloyal and unfilial person!

Although the shogunate officials were loyal to the Tokugawa shogunate, they all cried loudly at this time, and even the powerful minister Sakai Tadakatsu was stunned there, and forced out a tear.

Some royalist officials wept bitterly from the bottom of their hearts, they witnessed the death of the emperor, and the young monarch used his death to maintain the dignity of the king!

Sakai Tadashi looked at the "grief-stricken" ministers in the main hall in a daze, and his mind was a mess.

The emperor died, the shogunate lost its legitimacy, and Japan, which was already fragmented, became even less cohesive.

After a while, people from the Secret Service Department hurriedly came to report that the residence of Emperor Mingzheng was empty, and the emperor was nowhere to be found.

Sakai Tadashi slapped Taro Yamamoto's scarred face on the spot, and shouted, "Waste thing, how are you in charge of the Secret Service!" Unexpectedly, the people of the Jinyi Guard infiltrated the Imperial Palace! ”

The slap was so powerful that it made Taro Yamamoto's brain buzz, but it didn't fan him out of his intellectual disability.

Taro Yamamoto quickly understood that the problem was last night, and the emperor said that he occasionally felt a cold at night, and sent the imperial doctor to see a doctor......

"Your Excellency, I promise you, I will definitely find Emperor Mingzheng!" Taro Yamamoto swears.

Tadashi Sakai shouted, "Then where do you think she went?" ”

Taro Yamamoto bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, the lower official thinks that she will go to the Ming Army......"

Sakai Tadakatsu was so angry that he almost suffered from cerebral congestion and died violently on the spot, and after a few deep breaths, he pointed at Taro Yamamoto and said, "You take someone from the secret service department to invite her back, if you don't come back, don't come back!" ”

“.......”

Taro Yamamoto nodded silently.

He knew very well that once Emperor Ming Zheng made peace with the Ming army, the Ming Emperor would inevitably support the former emperor and establish a new imperial court, and the Ming army would make a fuss about it and declare the shogunate illegal in the name of the emperor.

At that time, it will be a disaster for the Tokugawa shogunate!

The emperor died violently, and the Ming army was only twenty miles away from Kyoto, and the incident came too suddenly.

Sakai Tadashi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and ordered the relocation of the capital in court, leaving today!
