On the rostrum, the emperor always maintained a posture of bowing and admitting his mistakes, and never stood up straight for a long time. Remember [ ] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Time, as if frozen in this moment.

In the huge venue, there was silence, the pin drop could be heard, and there was a deathly silence.

The reporters of the major news media in the audience were about to pop out their eyes, and they thought they were hallucinating.

At the same time, this scene was also broadcast by the television station and transmitted to the television in the entire territory of the Japanese country.

At least millions of viewers witnessed this scene.

And in their ears, the emperor's words just now echoed-

"Apologize to Huaxia for the evil deeds committed by the ancestors decades ago!"

Although it is only a simple sentence, the profound meaning contained in it is equivalent to dropping a nuclear bomb directly on the territory of the Japanese country.

Over the years, neither the royal family nor the cabinet have ever acknowledged that aggression.

Because once admitted, it will put the Japanese country in a very passive situation, and even the most stupid people will not make such a "wrong" move.

For a while, the same thought came to everyone's minds-

Could it be that the Emperor is old and confused, or is he having a psychotic episode?

I don't know how long it took, but finally a reporter came back to his senses from the shock, hurriedly rushed to the rostrum, raised the microphone, and asked: "Your Excellency, are you joking with what you just said? That must not be true, right?"

"Whew!Whew!"

The next moment, countless eyes in the audience were focused on the emperor's body, waiting for his answer.

Everyone held their breath and stared, not even the atmosphere came out, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

At this time, the emperor straightened up, his face was pale, and beads of sweat were dripping on his forehead, but he still stubbornly spoke:

"I, as the monarch of the Great Wa Empire, hereby express my most sincere apologies to the Chinese people who were persecuted during that invasion!"

At the end, the emperor's body shook for a while, and the words just now seemed to exhaust all his strength.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole country was in an uproar.

The entire venue was in chaos, and countless reporters rushed to the front of the stage, wanting to interview the emperor.

And the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV was also in a mess, crying one by one, and their spiritual beliefs seemed to collapse.

You must know that in the Wa Kingdom, the emperor has the supreme position and is the king of the "one line of eternity".

The so-called "one lineage", that is, the rule of a single family for thousands of years, is simply inconceivable for other countries where dynastic changes are so common.

The reason for this is that the ancient Wa Kingdom was a theocratic state, with a system of integration of government and religion, and the emperor was not a "human", but was regarded as a descendant of Amaterasu, and the entire Wa Kingdom was the private property of Amaterasu, and the emperor ruled on behalf of Amaterasu.

The idea that the emperor is a descendant of "gods" has long been deeply rooted in the minds of the people of the Japanese Kingdom, just as the Chinese people believed in the Jade Emperor.

Out of fear for the gods, any words or deeds that attempt to question, hurt, or replace the emperor are regarded as "disobedient" and punishable by death.

Even today, the power of the emperor is no longer as great as in ancient times, but it is still the spiritual belief of countless Japanese people.

But today, the Emperor, a descendant of God, has betrayed the entire country!

Seeing that the meeting hall was in chaos and the situation was showing signs of getting out of control, many imperial guards moved to stop the reporters, and Prince Meitoku hurriedly helped the emperor to rest inside the imperial palace.

Although the press conference is over, the follow-up impact of this matter is continuing to ferment and escalate wildly.

The major news media reported the matter for the first time, and those office workers who did not see the live TV broadcast also got the news through various means.

Many radical and angry youths simply stopped working and rushed to the streets to raise banners and march to demand that the emperor retract his order.

The entire Wa kingdom was plunged into great turmoil.

......

At the same time, the entrance to the Imperial Palace.

Many high-ranking generals of the Japanese hawks gathered here.

Instead of wearing military uniforms, they changed into their family heirloom shogunate-era armor and swords at their waists, and one by one they knelt down on one knee at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, their eyes burning with angry flames.

The solemn and dignified aura permeated, so oppressive that ordinary people did not dare to approach it at all.

The Wa Kingdom was a very blood-oriented society.

The president's son is the president, the general's son is a general, and the nobleman's son is a nobleman, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to cross classes with their own strength.

The fathers and grandparents of these hawkish generals also participated in the invasion decades ago and committed countless evil deeds in China.

They could not accept the emperor's previous public apology.

"Commander of the Northern Air Force, I beg Your Majesty to retract your order!"

"Chief of Staff of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, I beg Your Majesty to take back your order!"

"Commander of the Seventh Division of the Ground Self-Defense Force, I implore Your Majesty to retract your order!"

A series of pleading voices echoed at the door of the Imperial Palace, louder than louder.

These officers are all high-ranking officials of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and they hold great power, and it is the first time in decades that they have joined forces to ask for their lives.

If the royal family does not appease them, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny in the army, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Peng!"

Suddenly, the gates of the Imperial Palace opened.

With Prince Meitoku's support, the aged emperor paced out.

Looking at the dozens of officers kneeling on the ground in front of him, the Emperor Tie blushed and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing, as the commander of the military, every move is related to the stability of the country! You have left your post without permission, why don't you go back quickly!"

Despite his advanced age, the Emperor's voice contained an infinite amount of majesty.

One by one, however, the officers remained motionless as statues, ignoring the Emperor's orders.

At this time, a coarse ore sound full of air exploded in everyone's ears like thunder:

"The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?!"

......

This questioning voice was like an invisible blade, pointing the finger at the emperor.

The emperor's face was suddenly gloomy to the extreme, and his body trembled with anger.

"Presumptuous, Takashi Nakano, you dare to be disrespectful to your father!" Prince Mingde scolded loudly, his eyes staring at the man who spoke.

Looking at it from afar, I saw that the man was about fifty years old, with a Chinese face, a hooked nose, eyes that were shining, not angry but mighty, and his body revealed a decisive breath of killing.

Takashi Nakano, the current Minister of Defense of the Wa Kingdom!

He is equivalent to the highest commander of the military, and he is also the leader of the hawkish forces, and he is full of prestige in the army.

In the face of Prince Mingtoku's reprimand, Nakano Takashi was not afraid at all, but stood up, looked at the emperor and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, my loyalty to you is evident from the heavens!

"Hmph, don't you know the current situation?"

Prince Mingde gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the fact that my father endured humiliation and burdened him with eternal charges, I am afraid that you would all die completely by now!

"Is it because of the Huaxia martial artist Ye Beichen?"

Nakano Takashi frowned tightly, and said word by word: "Even if he is a martial artist and defeats the Sword Saint Source Musashi, so what? Our Self-Defense Force has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and countless modern weapons, can we still be afraid of him? As long as Your Majesty orders, the minister is willing to be the vanguard, take the lead, take the head of Ye Beichen, and dedicate it to Your Majesty!"

His words were impassioned and morale-boosting.

Many officers in the rear echoed one after another, eager to go out immediately and kill Ye Beichen.

"Enough is enough!!"

Suddenly, the Emperor erupted into a roar, like an angry lion, and roared, "What do you know? That Ye Beichen is definitely not an existence that we can defeat! I tell you—not only did Minamoto Musashi die at his hands, but even the great priest of the Ise Shrine became his slave!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, the many officers present had an unbelievable look on their faces, and their hearts were even more terrifying.

The shadow of the tree, the name of the man!

In the upper class of the Wa Kingdom, the Great Priest was a taboo name that overrode the royal family and the Cabinet.

And now the emperor said that even the great priest had become Ye Fan's slave, and this news simply turned their worldview upside down.

At this time, the emperor continued: "Do you remember? A few months ago, we had a destroyer in our Japanese country, and it was destroyed in the sea!"

Hearing this, many of the officers present looked suspicious.

At that time, an entire destroyer was destroyed and thousands of soldiers were killed, which caused an uproar on the Japanese side, and most people believed that it was Huaxia that dispatched aircraft carriers.

Many hawkish generals have asked for a return of color.

Unexpectedly, at the first moment, the cabinet ordered the news to be blocked, and no one was allowed to discuss the matter.

At this moment, Takashi Nakano and the other officers were confused, wondering why the emperor would bring up the old story again.

Suddenly, the emperor raised his voice a little: "The culprit who destroyed the destroyer is not Huaxia's aircraft carrier, but a martial arts powerhouse! After investigation, it can be confirmed that the strong man is Ye Beichen!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a boulder smashing into the calm water, stirring up a thousand waves.

When many officers heard this, they were dumbfounded and dumbfounded, and exclaimed in disbelief:

"No! It can't be!

"No matter how powerful he Ye Beichen is, he is a mortal after all, how can he fight the regular army?"

"That's right! That's the latest destroyer, equipped with the most advanced artillery system, and even loaded with two missiles!"

At this time, the emperor waved his hand, and immediately a retinue brought a pile of top-secret information, which recorded how Ye Fan cut off the destroyer with one sword.

After seeing the whole process clearly, dozens of hawkish generals were immediately speechless, their vests were completely soaked in cold sweat, and they felt unprecedented fear.

Cut off the destroyer with a sword!

This...... Is it still the power that humans can have?!

They calculated in their hearts that even if a large-scale army was dispatched, it would not be able to kill Ye Beichen, but would provoke him.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ye Beichen alone can block a group army of the Japanese State!

"Hey......"

Seeing the silence of the many officers, the emperor sighed faintly and said:

"I am a royal family of the Wa Kingdom, known as the descendants of the gods, and my bloodline is extremely respected! But Ye Beichen, he is not human—"

"He's God!"
