Chapter 520: Judging the Emperor (5)

When Shiren, who was in the center of the trial, shouted out that injustice, he became a well-deserved central figure.

Not only all the Japanese aristocrats in the venue were looking at him expectantly, including Zhu Gaochi, a scholar who came from the Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese are expecting His Majesty the Emperor, whom they worship as a god, to make some impassioned and generous remarks to fiercely refute the accusations of the shameless Mingren, and at the same time loudly expose the sins committed by the Mingren, which will greatly boost the morale of the people of the country and the nation.

And Zhu Gaochi didn't have any expectations, because when Shiren shouted out that injustice, it meant that every word and word that Shiren said next would continue as his eldest brother had explained.

"Where does the injustice come from?"

Gao Su put down the order, a trace of tolerance appeared on his solemn face, and his eyes and tone were full of encouragement to Shiren.

"This judgment is not for a harsh and domineering person, this is a court, this judgment must also respect the law, respect the evidence, if you are indeed wronged, this judgment should reduce the punishment against you as appropriate."

seemed to feel the encouragement in Gao Su's eyes, which made Shiren's mood settle down a little, and he opened his mouth nervously after swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva.

"The two charges against me are biased, and both crimes are unjust."

Inside the venue and in the square, countless Japanese people were excited.

"Really?" Gao Su coughed lightly, and after shouting a word of silence, he continued to encourage: "Where does the injustice come from, His Royal Highness Shiren said that this judgment, trial, and jury will be reconsidered in strict accordance with the law of the Minglian Convention. ”

Shiren clenched his fists and hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth.

"As for the accusation of war crimes, although I myself was the emperor of Japan, the position of emperor was my father, and the later Emperor Komatsu Kanhito and I were in seclusion behind the scenes, and the government of the Japanese was carried out in Japan, and my father, the Ashikaga shogunate, and Prince Fushiminomiya were all in charge of the state to the left and right.

Since the outbreak of war today and tomorrow, Your Excellency said that it was caused by Japan's unwillingness to abolish the emperor system and join the Meiryun, then this crime should not be blamed on me at all.

In the twenty-third year of the Emperor's reign, the Ming Dynasty asked our country to abolish the emperor system, but it was rejected by my father, Ganhito, who was then Emperor Go-Komatsu, which was the first refusal in Japan, and the source was my father.

When the Ming Dynasty asked me to abolish the Heavenly Emperor system in Japan, this move was directly rejected by my father, Ashikaga Yoshinori Shogun, and Prince Fushiminomiya, without my consent or asking for my opinion.

As for why he was reluctant to join the Meiren, it was also a matter for the Ashikaga Shogun to say, "All things in the country are listened to the gods, and the gods should not act rashly without words." And with this words, he unified the upper and lower voices of the government and refused to join the Minglian.

After the outbreak of the Tomorrow War, I also mentioned to Ashikaga Yoshinori that the war would inevitably expand, and he hoped to lead Japan to join the Meiryo to eliminate the war since he was removed from the throne of the Emperor, but Ashikaga Yoshimochi said.

'The emperor is the spiritual belief of Japan, and if the emperor abdicates the throne, Japan will be destroyed and the country will be extinct, and the ministers cannot agree, the hundreds of thousands of samurai soldiers outside Kyoto cannot agree, the tens of millions of people in Japan cannot agree, and the god of sunshine will never agree.'

After using this to intimidate me, Ashikaga Yoshinori drove out all the maids and priests in the palace, and replaced me with a family general, who took care of me and fought with all his might.

To sum up, the one who should really suffer the war crimes accusation should be my father, who lived in the wilderness and devoted himself to Buddhism, the current Emperor Kanhito, the former shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori who committed suicide, and Prince Fushiminomiya who is now sitting on the viewing platform!

It shouldn't be me, it shouldn't be! ”

Shiren's last roar silenced the entire court room.

The Japanese aristocrats who watched the trial were stupid, and the Japanese people in the square who had endless hopes for Shihito were stupid.

The roar of the emperor they had expected to see did appear, but it was not an accusation against the invasion, but an accusation against his father, his own relatives, and Ashikaga Yoshinori who had protected Japan.

Shiren actually took all the trumped-up guilt in front of Minglian and then threw it on to others!

At this moment, the hearts of all Japanese people were painful.

"Then you also said that the second sin was wronged, where did the injustice come from?"

Gao Su's heart blossomed, and he barely kept the turmoil on his face, and continued to encourage Shiren.

The latter did not disappoint Gao Su, Zhu Gaochi and others, and continued to speak angrily.

"After the outbreak of the war, the so-called "Edict of the People", "Mobilization Edict", and "Edict for the Defense of Kyoto" were all drawn up by Ashikaga Yoshinori and Prince Fushiminomiya, and I myself was forced to put a seal on the three edicts.

I have been yearning for the prosperity, stability, and harmony of Minglian for many years, and I myself am extremely eager to join Minglian, so that every Japanese citizen can achieve common prosperity and live a stable and peaceful life.

However, the ministers were unwilling, because they were all the existing aristocracy and vested interests in Japan, and they held a large amount of land in their hands, and raised countless generals and slaves, and they were powerful people who stepped on the heads of the Japanese people.

They were afraid of losing these privileges after joining Minglian, so they strongly refused to join Minglian.

After the war began, Ashikaga Yoshinori built a defense line outside Kyoto, and repeatedly announced that he would carry out the holy war to defend Kyoto, defend Japan, and defend every Japanese subject to the end and achieve complete victory, but in fact, when building the defense line, he imposed high taxes on the people of the Gyeonggi area several times to dozens of times.

Not only that, Ashikaga Yoshinori also forcibly demolished the homes of hundreds of people, used them to quickly raise supplies, demolished countless temples, and threw the ancestral altars and bones enshrined in them into the wilderness, just for this war, but destroyed countless homes.

Since His Excellency Judge said that these erroneous decrees were crimes against the people, then as the concoctors of the actual decrees, Ashikaga Yoshinori and Prince Fushimiya were the main culprits, and the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops who carried out these decrees and actually persecuted the people were the executors and accomplices to the crimes against the people!

They are the ones who really deserve to stand here for trial! Not me! ”

Shihito is crazy, and so are the Japanese people!

At this moment, it was no longer their Emperor His Majesty standing in the courtroom, but a child who was crazy about biting and throwing pots in order to survive.

A traitor who personally sent countless Japanese nobles and Japanese soldiers who carried out the sacred task of defending the country and the nation to the seat of trial!

And this traitor is still the emperor for whom they were willing to give their lives!

This time, however, there was not even the slightest disturbance.

The hearts of all Japanese people, dead.

The foreplay was all done, Gao Su glanced at Zhu Gaochi, got the signal, nodded lightly, and spoke.

"In this case, this verdict will retract the previous verdict and reconsider the case, and immediately arrest the former Empress Komatsu Emperor Kanhito to the case for trial, arrest Prince Fushiminomiya, and be tried in court!"

Prince Fushimi's complexion, who was watching the interrogation platform, changed greatly, and before he could get up, several nearby brocade guards had already pounced on him and twisted them to Shihito's side.

"Fushimi Miya, you are guilty!"

was photographed in shock, and what appeared in the court was the ugly faces of all living beings.

At this moment, Fushimi Miya's eyes were full of disgust, disbelief and hatred when he looked at Shiren.

After a few glances at Shiren, Fushimi Miyasadari turned his head to look at Gao Su and gritted his teeth.

"Shameless thief, what face do you have to judge this king."

The corners of Gao Su's mouth raised a dangerous smile.

"Since you are unwilling to refute, then this judgment is based on Shiren's statement, finds you guilty, and immediately executes you for war crimes and crimes against the people.

The combined execution of the death penalty is full of three clans! ”

At this moment, Fushimi Miyasadari fell to the ground.
