The square outside the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Japan, was already crowded with people at this time, and at least 20,000 Japanese gathered here. These Japanese people have surprises, angers, and even confusion in their eyes. In the center of the square is a three-meter-high platform where Emperor Hitotaka will be put on trial. This qiē is incredible for the Japanese. The Emperor is the supreme being in their minds, the embodiment of the gods. But now, the emperor is going to be judged, which is completely unthinkable.

The rule of the Imperial Family in Japan has lasted for thousands of years. Since the age of mythology, the Imperial family has been the ruler of Japan. It can even be said that the emperor has become a spiritual pillar in the hearts of the Japanese. But today, their spiritual pillars will be toppled, which seems to many Japanese people to be unacceptable.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Onodera Jiro, who had already taken office as the chief administrative officer of the Japanese Governor-General's Office, walked out of the palace with Mori Keikin, Shimazu Saiko, Yamauchi Toyotoshi, and Nabeshima Shigeshige, and climbed the high platform that had been prepared for a long time. Today, they will act as special judges, and they will judge Emperor Hitotaka. Now, the family represented by these five people is also the largest family in Japan. Because the Edo Shogunate was destroyed by the Chinese* army, the Imperial Family would also be destroyed. Coupled with the support of the Chinese, these five families. He will become the spokesperson of China in Japan and rule Japan on behalf of China. And today's trial of Emperor Nintaka is a petition they submitted to China. to show their separation from Japan. From now on, they will be China's most loyal lackeys. After all, after the trial of the emperor, the reputation of these great families in Japan may stink. If they do not master strong force and do not have the support of China, they will have difficulty even surviving. Not to mention ruling Japan.

For today's trial, Onodera Jiro and others can be described as painstaking. The Chinese side hopes that the trial will be used to deal a blow to the emperor's influence among the Japanese people. So. The Japanese who came to participate in this trial were all representatives of all walks of life in Japan, so it was convenient for the trial to spread rapidly to all parts of Japan. Other than that. To be on the safe side. The elite samurai of the Onodera family, as well as the elite samurai of the four great feudal clans, all dispatched, a total of more than 2,000 people, were deployed around the square to avoid accidents during the trial.

On a tall building in the Imperial Palace of Japan, Lieutenant General Sun Hao, the current supreme commander of the Chinese* army in Japan, the first Japanese governor-general. Major General Gu Yun, commander of the 13th Infantry Corps of the Chinese Army, and Major General Chen Wenjie, commander of the 17th Infantry Corps. They were all invited here to watch the trial from afar. In addition, in Kyoto Castle, less than a kilometer from the square, the 13th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Infantry Corps of the Chinese Army is deployed there, and if problems arise during the trial, the Chinese* army can suppress them at the first time and prevent the unrest from spreading.

"Guys, it's almost time, are we getting started?" Onodera Jiro said to several others.

"Let's start, finish early, we can also have peace of mind sooner!" Major General Mori Keikin, the former lord of the Choshu domain and the current commander of the first garrison, said. After accepting the appointment from the Chinese side, they have become completely China's lackeys, and there is no going back.

The commanders of the other three garrisons also said one after another. Now they can only follow behind China, one road to the darkest.

"Bring someone to commit Hye-in!" Onodera Jiro said to the samurai on the high platform. His voice, through a loudspeaker already installed on a high platform, was heard around the square. This immediately caused a commotion among the Japanese.

Keihito is the name of Emperor Nintaka. Previously, the name was sacred and inviolable. But now, the name is associated with the criminal. And Onodera Jiro, the person who was once the most loyal to the emperor, dared to call the emperor by his name, which is simply a great rebellion! Some people who claimed to be loyal to the emperor scolded them one after another, and even tried to rush to the high platform in the square to kill the rebellious rebellious ministers and thieves like Onodera Jiro.

However, the samurai, who had already been prepared, pulled out the most fierce Japanese who were shouting, and beat them all over the place, beating them miserably. This made the other Japanese suddenly dare not shout anymore. Although they were very central to the emperor, they were still afraid of death. Under the threat of force, more Japanese chose to remain silent. With the fall of the Edo shogunate and the occupation of Japan by the Chinese* army, they have realized that Japan has changed masters.

Emperor Hitotaka was escorted out of the palace by several samurai. At this moment, Emperor Renxiao was no different except for his pale face and a little staggering steps. However, the torment of this period was a great blow to Emperor Renxiao. Emperor Hitotaka wanted to commit suicide more than once, but he didn't have the chance. Even if he went on a hunger strike, it was not successful. The samurai guarding Emperor Nintaka would simply crack his mouth open and pour food into his mouth. Or simply beat him up so that he had to comply. For Emperor Nintaka, such a life is simply worse than death.

The emperor is noble, but once he is stripped of his sacred garment, he is nothing!

"Long live Your Majesty!" When many Japanese people saw Emperor Ninko, they immediately fell to their knees and shouted long live. Emperor Hitoko, who was originally like a walking corpse, had a gleam in his eyes after hearing these cheers. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he could only make a hoarse coughing sound, this is Onodera Jiro and others for today's trial, specially gave Emperor Nintaka a medicine, so that he lost the ability to speak for a short time. Emperor Hitotaka was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and began to struggle, but the samurai who escorted him dragged him directly to the high platform like a dead pig. The Japanese onlookers couldn't help but be even more angry when they saw Emperor Hitotaka being treated so roughly. It's just that under the pressure of the samurai's bullets, peace was quickly restored!

"Hyein, don't kneel down yet!" Onodera Jiro said with a stern face.

"What? Why do you want the emperor to kneel? There was an uproar in the crowd. Often, only others kneel to the emperor, but now, the emperor is being asked to kneel, or to his former courtiers, how can this work?

Emperor Hitoyo stubbornly tilted his head and refused to kneel. He knew that this trial was planned by the Chinese and these traitors, who wanted to insult him and use it to attack the emperor's influence in Japan. Although Emperor Renxiao knew that this time it would be inevitable, he wanted to fight stubbornly and did not want the Chinese and these traitors to succeed lightly.

Onodera Jiro couldn't help frowning when he saw Emperor Rentaka so uncooperative. He winked at the samurai who were escorting Emperor Hitotaka. These samurai were all loyal samurai of the Onodera family, so they were naturally able to understand what Onodera Jiro meant.

A samurai kicked Emperor Nintaka in the knee. A sharp pain came from his knee, and Emperor Hitoko fell to his knees at once. However, Emperor Nintaka then stubbornly stood up from the ground again. The other samurai hurriedly suppressed Emperor Hitotaka and crushed him to the ground. Emperor Hitotaka was a powerless man after all, and he had been living an inhuman life these days, which could be compared to these strong samurai. Therefore, he was crushed to the ground and knelt down in front of Jiro Onodera and others!

"Bastard! Onodera Jiro, you guys, how can you insult guys like this? I'm going to kill you! An old man with a white beard, holding a katana, rushed frantically towards the high platform, while swearing loudly.

"Old fellow, die!" This is, two samurai rushed over, and the katana in their hands slashed at the old man.

In the blink of an eye, the old man was cut to the ground. He is old, and he obviously can't compare with the strong elite samurai.

Other Japanese people, as well as some radical people, wanted to rush out to rescue the emperor, but as soon as they began to act, they were defeated by the samurai who had already prepared. The end was also extremely tragic, which made other Japanese people dare not act rashly.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Japan, today, we will hold a fair trial of Keihito, so that everyone will know what this man has done in the course of his tenure as Emperor of Japan, and how much damage he has caused Japan." Onodera Jiro said loudly to the Japanese in the square.

Some Japanese scolded this, but some Japanese were a little confused. Could it be that Emperor Hitotaka really did something harmful to Japan? More Japanese people are looking at this qiē blankly. What happened now seemed to be completely beyond their imagination, making it difficult for them to accept it for a while.

"Woo!" Emperor Hitotaka opened his mouth wide and wanted to refute Onodera Jiro's words, but in the end, all he could do was this whine. Emperor Renxiao asked himself if everything he did was for the sake of Japan's interests, but in the end, he failed. also made him a prisoner, and even a sinner of the Imperial Family.

The generals of the Chinese* army looked at this qiē with great interest. It's up to the Japanese to deal with the Japanese, they're just watching the show. This kind of good drama is not something that can be seen from time to time! (To be continued......)
