At this time, Ito Hirobumi, who was standing on the side, looked at Kawaro Toshira, who was striding wildly in the imperial garden, and was also surprised in his heart.

The Chuanlu Liliang in front of him seems to be fighting with someone!

Looking around, Kawaro Toshira soon discovered the location of the Emperor's Imperial Vehicle, and immediately turned around and strode over.

"Who is so bold! How dare you break into the Imperial Garden without being announced! The chief of the guard couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Kawaro Liliang was still holding a bright saber in his hand when he was running wildly, and immediately took out the revolver he was wearing, raised it, and aimed at Kawaro Liliang.

Hearing the angry shouts of the chief of the guard, Kawaro seemed to sober up a little, he slowed down his steps, inserted his saber back into the scabbard, came to the emperor, stood upright, and raised his hand to salute the emperor in a Western-style military salute.

"Chief Chuan Lu, you dare to break into the Imperial Garden without notification! What do you want to do? The guard rebuked loudly. Although he spoke in a strong voice, he still sounded unmotivated.

In the face of Kawaro Toshira, who holds the power of the national police, he, as the chief of the guard, is not willing to offend easily.

Kawaro Toshira just bowed to the chief of the guard, "I'm very sorry! He said in a hoarse voice.

"Chuan Luqing, you are in such a hurry to see me, is there anything wrong?" The Emperor returned to his chair and sat down, looked at Kawaro Toshira, and asked quietly.

Ito Hirobumi saw that the emperor did not order the guards in front of him to disperse, and knew that the emperor had become wary of Kawaji Toshira at this time, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

He could almost guess that Kawaro Liliang was coming. It's just that why Kawaro Liliang broke into the palace so unannounced to meet him, he couldn't understand.

In his impression, Kawaro Toshira was a brave and resourceful samurai, one of the first talents from the Satsuma Domain promoted by Saigo Takamori, he was thoughtful, strategic, decisive, and had traveled in Europe and the United States and other countries, quite insightful, after serving as the chief of police, he soon established an effective police system throughout Japan, and gave the Japanese police the function of intelligence agents, it can be said that he is a very capable person.

But it was such a person who performed like this today, which really surprised Ito Hirobumi.

Could it be that what happened to Takamori Saigo, Kagoshima?

The reason why Ito Hirobumi is in the Imperial Garden today is also because of Saigo Takamori.

After the Imperial Council decided that the seal of the seal to Saigo Takamori would be mainly a reassuring reply, Emperor Meiji summoned Ito Hirobumi to the Imperial Garden to chat and discuss the wording of the pacification edict to Saigo Takamori, but what neither Emperor Meiji nor Ito Hirobumi expected was that Kawaro Toshira would break in in this way.

Hearing the emperor's question, Kawaro Toshira straightened up and replied, "The minister has come this time to ask His Majesty to withdraw the order of the police officer who assassinated Saigo Yoshinosuke as a thief. ”

Hearing that Kawaji Toshira had directly made such a request, Emperor Meiji was furious in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change.

"Chuan Luqing asked me so much, can you explain the reason?" The Emperor asked calmly.

"Your Majesty! Those people have all been mutilated by the thieves under the assistant of Kagoshima Saigo Yoshiyuki! Speaking of the ending of the "Tokyo Lions", Kawaji Toshira became excited again and could not help himself, "The thieves are so rampant that they actually cut off the heads of these loyal people and smuggled them into the capital!" Put it at the door of Okubo-kun's house, thinking it was intimidating! ”

Hearing Kawaro Toshira's answer, the emperor's body trembled suddenly, and the empress Ichijomiko and the powerhouse attendant Yanagihara Aiko on the side were so frightened that they almost screamed.

A look of panic flashed in the Emperor's eyes. He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Hirobumi Ito.

Ito Hirobumi was also shocked when he heard this, he saw the emperor looking at him for help, forced himself to calm down, and signaled to the emperor with his gaze, and the emperor calmed down.

At this time, the emperor saw Okubo Ritsu and the others who were running in a hurry, and when he saw Okubo Ritsu's angry and depraved face, he understood what was going on.

"Queen, you and the servant go to rest first! I have important matters to discuss with all of you Aiqing here, and I will accompany you in a while. Emperor Meiji said to the two women.

Ichijo Miko and Aiko Yanagihara bowed deeply to the emperor and then left with small steps.

Seeing their figures disappear, Emperor Meiji turned his head and turned his gaze to Kawaji Toshira and Okubo Ritsu, who had just arrived in front of him.

"Okubo, I just heard from Chuan Luqing that someone put the head of the assassin who assassinated Saigo Qing at your doorstep, is that so?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Okubo Ritsu glanced at Kawaji Ritsu and replied in a dumb voice.

"Chuan Luqing, it's because of this incident that you broke into my imperial garden without being reported, right?" The Emperor looked at Kawaro Toshira, and his voice suddenly became cold.

"Yes!" Chuan Lu Liliang said with grief and indignation, "These people are all sacrificed for Your Majesty!" The subordinates begged His Majesty to take back their orders and not call them thieves! ”

The Emperor ignored Kawaji Toshira, but turned to Okubo Ritsu and asked, "Okubo, your opinion is the same as Kawaji, right?" ”

"Your Majesty! Kawaji-kun ...... He was too excited for a while, and broke into the Imperial Garden without notice, which was an unintentional mistake, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive him! Okubo did not answer the emperor's question, but pleaded for Kawaro Toshira.

"You haven't answered my question yet, Okubo." Emperor Meiji said coldly.

"This ...... The minister thought that His Majesty's decision was very wise, and the minister ...... Support His Majesty's decision! Okubo gritted his teeth and said something like this.

Hearing Okubo Ritsu's answer, Kawaji Toshira's face changed miserably.

"Where are those heads now?" Emperor Meiji asked.

"Now the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department." Okubo replied.

"Keep these heads in a safe place for public display." Emperor Meiji said.

"Nope! Your Majesty! You...... No! You can't do that! Kawaro Liliang hissed.

"Chuan Luqing, I feel that your current mental condition is worrying, and I want you to go back and rest well and recover as soon as possible." Emperor Meiji said coldly, "You trespassed into my imperial garden without permission, and made such a rude request, I think you are no longer suitable for the current position of chief of police, you better rest more!" ”

Hearing that Emperor Meiji was removing Kawaji Toshira from his position, Okubo was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, Chuan Lujun was confused for a while, and please ask Your Majesty to remember his previous merits and forgive him this time!" Okubo Ritsu couldn't help but intercede for Kawaro Toshira.
