In Japan, across the sea from Siberia, after the rice riots spread to the Kansai region, it led to a large-scale rebellion, and the rebels opened the rice barn, and the rice queen did not disperse to the people, but gathered together to make more demands on the government.

"Your Excellency Terauchi, the rebellion in the Kansai region must be dealt with with a thunderbolt, and the rebellion here will even give the foundation of the empire ......."

Matsumoto Tsunayoshi, a member of the Imperial Diet, chattered about the treatment of the Kansai region, and Terauchi Masaki was tired, he did not agree with Matsumoto Tsunayoshi's point of view, let alone the 6th Army's iron-blooded suppression, because this would cause greater turmoil within Japan, and because the popular contradictions caused by such bloody methods may be difficult to eliminate in the next ten years, he finally sighed:

"Matsumoto, these low-level civilians who are in turmoil are the foundation of the lowest level of the edifice of the Empire, and we can't dig our own foundation until we have to......"

In the end, the moderate policy in the temple did not get a response from the rebels, they attacked the police department and government departments in groups, and the social order was completely disrupted, and the minister of the 6th Army could not bear it anymore and sent two divisions of the 6th Army to encircle and suppress the rebels, and then the rebels were crushed by the 6th Army that drove into the city, scattered as birds and beasts, scattered to the countryside and mountains, and continued to confront the 6th Army.

In front of the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Emperor Taisho closed his eyes tightly, his fists were clenched, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and the important ministers were arguing so much that they didn't look at Taisho's forbearance, His Majesty the Emperor's recent actions have become more and more unorthodox, and the number of illnesses has become more and more.

"Minister Terauchi, because of your decision, the Imperial Navy has suffered humiliating defeats in Siberia in a row, you can't escape this responsibility no matter what, what kind of person is that guy named Wu Xiaoliang, you must order the government of China to severely punish this person."

Navy Minister Yuzaburo Kato was furious at the defeat of the navy, and the detachment sent for the second time was completely wiped out, and lost contact with Muto Nobuyoshi's brigade, if even Rear Admiral Muto was captured or killed by Shina, then the face of the empire would also be beaten to pieces in front of the countries of the world.

At this time, a tacit agreement has been reached between the Japanese ministers, that is, the temple must step down, and the small warlord named Wu Xiaoliang must be severely punished, although the ministers strongly opposed, even the Changzhou feudal lord from the temple lost confidence in him, but the temple has the protection of Emperor Taisho, so he still sits firmly in the position of the prime minister, but the anxious temple minister and the frequently ill Taisho Emperor did not notice, The situation in the opposition and the opposition in the cabinet has gradually evolved into disappointment and dissatisfaction with the emperor's actions, and an undercurrent is surging among the important ministers.

Terauchi Masashi knelt beside the emperor, his expression was atrophied, his eye sockets were deep, and the successive blows made him haggard, and he had hinted to His Majesty the emperor that he hoped to resign and reorganize the cabinet by the new minister in order to save the current unfavorable situation of the Japanese government, but the emperor rejected his request verbally, and clearly instructed that even if he resigned, he must clean up the mess caused by the rice riots in the country.

Yoshiichi Tanaka, who had been promoted to chief of staff of the 6th Army, also joined the team of tarts against the Terauchi Minister: "The rice riots have now spread to the Kansai region, which has always been stable, and if no measures are taken, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it has been proved that the moderate policy of the Terauchi Minister's policy has completely failed, if it were not for Minister Kato's decision to send two divisions of the 6th Army to control the situation, I am afraid that the rebels would have entered Kyoto Castle at this time." ”

For Tanaka Yoshiichi and Kato Yuzaburo's accusations, Terauchi Masachi is powerless to refute, these two allies who once supported him have completely given up on his failed phase, and now the ministers of the two military departments of the Sea 6 have become his opponents, how can he calm the domestic turmoil for His Majesty the Emperor, he feels that the blood in his chest is suppressed and there is nowhere to vent, and the two people in front of him are becoming more and more blurred, and gradually it is pitch black in front of him......

The moment before Masachi lost consciousness, he only heard someone exclaiming,

"Teramichi ......"

"Majesty, majesty, what's wrong with you......"

……

The Emperor and the Prime Minister fell ill at the same time during the deliberations, which caused a shock to the high-ranking ministers of the Empire, which was tantamount to the explosion of a bombshell, and in the end, the other important ministers of the Terauchi cabinet, despite having already broken with this anxious minister, decided to block the news from the outside world, because this sudden event had disrupted their plans, and if it were announced at this time, it would obviously lead them to an extremely unfavorable situation in the struggle for power.

However, the paper could not keep the fire after all, and the opposition parties soon learned the exact news that the emperor had fallen ill at the same time as him, and suddenly became difficult in the Imperial Diet.

"His Majesty the Emperor fell ill at the same time as the temple, and the cabinet must give an account to the members of the Diet, and if the temple minister cannot serve the council, it should be immediately clarified who will act as the representative.

"Yes, do you want to make a false message?"

……

For a while, all kinds of speculation and accusations came one after another, and a cabinet minister with Kato Yuzaburo as the leader was not ready to meet the challenge of the opposition parties, and finally failed in the parliament, but they were still unwilling to control the cabinet, and insisted, although Terauchi Masachi was ill, bowing to the political affairs would not be affected, and it seemed that they wanted to support the Terauchi minister to the end.

The commander of the 3rd Wing of the Guards Division, Terauchi Shouichi Sasa, is the eldest son of Terauchi Masashi, and when he saw the ridiculous performances of the cabinet ministers, he was indignant and complained at the bedside of his father, who had just woken up.

"The old guys are starting to support my father again, this group of shameless villains ......"

Masaki shook his head and weakly interrupted his son's complaint,

"Shouichi, you must remember that the union of my father and them is nothing more than the word stake, they are fathers because I stand on the opposite side of them, and now I am supporting my father in the Imperial Diet, so they need me as a banner."

Speaking of this, Terauchi Zhengyi coughed violently and took a few breaths before continuing: "The state affairs have been corrupted to this point, and my father can't let them continue to come around, so you will go to meet Crown Prince Hirohito tomorrow on behalf of your father, and ask the crown prince to be regent in the name of the emperor's serious illness, and at the same time hand over your father's resignation to the crown prince, and ask His Royal Highness to choose another person to form a cabinet......"

After Masaki said this, he fell asleep again,

The next day, Crown Prince Hirohito suddenly became the center of attention of the entire Tokyo capital, and the seriously ill Minister Terauchi asked the crown prince to act as the temporary regent of His Majesty the Emperor while resigning.
