Chapter 43: The Emperor's Catastrophe

If you can keep yourself, and you can strengthen yourself, and you don't need to sacrifice your soul or kill your loved ones, all you need is to obey orders once in a while, then will you choose to follow the devil?

I'm afraid it's hard to say this question, but if you add one, if you're not on God's side in the first place......

The fact is that Minamoto Yoritomo was moved, and he also acted, not only himself, but also Ashikaga Zun and Yamana Soquan with him. In other words, the reason why they took refuge in the Eight Miscellaneous Snake so simply was because of a sentence, or a guarantee. That is, the Eight Miscellaneous Snake promised them that as long as they helped her do something, the Wa Kingdom would give it to them......

Well, what's the matter? The Eight Miscellaneous Snake didn't say it, but of course it wouldn't be such a simple thing, otherwise the Eight Miscellaneous Snake wouldn't have to go to such trouble to attract a large number of people. So for Minamoto Yoritomi's question, Toyotomi Hideyoshi can only honestly answer that he doesn't know. But there is one thing that makes everyone happy, and that is the reward after the affair is over!

But they understood, it was the Wa Kingdom! Not this world! Hawkers, their group of people obviously have no hope of returning to their original world, after all, thinking with their toes, they can also understand that it is impossible to play casually in a world like traveling through time and space. So if they want to realize their ambitions, the real world of Wa is naturally the best choice. Moreover, this era is the era of the Three Kingdoms......

Although most of them don't know much about the history of the Dragon Emperor Continent, they also know that the Three Kingdoms Era is a very chaotic era on the Dragon Emperor Continent, even more chaotic than the Warring States Period, if ...... Just what if...... If you can unify the Wa Kingdom, plus so many strong people and knowledge that spans the ages, then ......

So, Minamoto Yorito excited the birds, excited the birds, and agreed to the eight big snake birds, and the Emperor Tuigu also followed the sad birds. Well, in fact, the most important reason is that they are too afraid of the Eight Snakes. Although they learned about the existence of the Yachi-Orochi from Honganji Temple from the beginning, they were actually very suspicious of the fact of this matter.

So although they are constantly fighting openly and secretly, basically, Yuan Laichao is still waiting for them with the mentality of not making trouble and looking at the situation. To put it bluntly, if the opportunity arises, they will definitely not hesitate to kill Emperor Tuigu to seize the throne, or when the exact news of the Eight Snakes is confirmed, they will also immediately unite to fight against foreign enemies. It's a pity that in the end, although they did wait for the news of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, they ...... But it was brought by the men of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes...... This made Minamoto Yorichao and the others instantly lose the slightest idea of resistance.

So, they did not hesitate to join the side of the Eight Snakes, and Kyoto, a place that has gone through all kinds of hardships, is once again unlucky, and perhaps the only thing that can make it feel happy is that there are no civilians in this world, and the suffering can be reduced to the lightest.

At this time, millions of troops surrounded this thousand-year-old city, which was called a flood. Even though it was evening, countless torches still lit up the sky as if it were day. The breeze shook the flames, but it was clear that the hearts of the rebels did not waver. Perhaps that's the good thing about a hundred warriors, they don't care who their enemies are, who they really work for, or what impact what they're doing. The only thing they know is their allegiance to the head of the house.

"You ...... You guys...... You guys! Emperor Suiko stood on the walls of Kyoto and trembled with anger, his fingers kept pointing at Minamoto Yorichao, but unfortunately, he couldn't say anything for a long time, obviously, this Ming Jun, who had created a prosperous generation, didn't know what to say in the face of the current situation. However, it is no wonder that not long ago, Prince Shotoku, who was most trusted, was assassinated, and when his mood was low, he encountered this large-scale mutiny.

Well, it's actually not quite right to say that it's a rebellion, because from the very beginning, Minamoto Yoritomo didn't really obey Emperor Suiko, but it was just that the emperor was the nominal ruler of the book all along. Therefore, in the heart of Emperor Suiko, she still firmly believes that this group of people just wants to get greater benefits, after all, they were all generals before, Guan Bai or ministers of the Imperial Regime, but in this world, these official positions are only ......

This is also the reason why Emperor Suigu didn't do much to guard against them, but now, all this that has happened shows how naïve and ridiculous Emperor Suigu thinks, the emperor's lineage is not really under the orders of heaven, but most of the people in power don't want to do anything to the emperor after they have already gained actual control of the world, because doing so will not outweigh the losses at all.

To put it bluntly, if the emperor had a real impact on those rulers of the past, then they would definitely not hesitate to kill the emperor. Well, in fact, there are not a few emperors in history who have been forced to abdicate or even died for various reasons...... Tsk, I'm really puzzled by this deformed ruling structure.

Well, back to the point, Emperor Tuigu was so angry that he couldn't speak, but that doesn't mean that others have nothing to say. Like Sakaue Tamura Maro, they are so angry that their stomachs are full of explosives! "Minamoto Yorito! Ashikaga Sonji! It's a shame that you're still a descendant of the royal family, and you did such an intolerable thing!? Are you worthy of your ancestors? Is it worthy of your last name? Sakaue Tamura Maro roared.

Hawkers, Sakagami Tamura Maro's words are not nonsense, because the Ashikaga clan is the descendant of Genji, and Genji is also a family separated from the emperor's family. How so? In fact, in the early days, only the imperial family, that is, the emperor's family, would have a surname, probably because only the emperor had a cultural relationship, huh...... But in this era, there is obviously the existence of Senju Tsunade? Well, when you think about it this way, maybe something more terrifying happened here than the burning of books?

Let's not mention this, just talk about the emperor's family, because they are the only ones who have a surname, then this unparalleled sense of honor is highlighted. And in the following days, the surname became the highest reward of the emperor's brother, which has to be said that the emperor is quite good at business. Later, however, the emperor suddenly realized that there were too many people in his house.

Well, there is no way, after all, the emperor is the most noble person in the world, and that era is a very peaceful era, and if there is nothing to do all day long, you can only make people at home, and if you make them, there will be too many people. And the emperor, this brother, is obviously the master who has studied the culture of the Dragon Emperor Continent, so in order to prevent his own children from killing each other for the throne, he thought of a very good way, that is, to distribute it, and each child will be given a different surname and distributed to the local lords in various places. As a result, a variety of surnames appeared...... And Genji is one of the emperor's descendants......

This is also why, in the late Warring States period, casually recounting a slightly famous samurai is a descendant of the Genji, Fujiwara clan, or Taira clan. Tsk, this relationship ...... Don't take it too hard! Well, it seems that the forbidden area of ethics is coming, stop!

Being scolded by Sakaue Tamura Maro like this, of course Yuan Yorichao couldn't be silent about them, they were originally doing quite rebellious things, if they were shrinking their heads as grandchildren, wouldn't they be riding on the head by the other party to pull dysentery? "Humph! Since they are the same family, why have the emperors always been their leader, and we can only struggle in various places, and we have to be killed by others from time to time?! Yuan Laichao also roared angrily, okay, it seems that this kid has a lot of resentment.

In other words, the emperor has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is indeed no change of people, no wonder this group of guys has a lot of resentment in their hearts, after all, they are all descendants of the emperor, why can't you be the emperor? It's just that in the original world, they didn't dare to say anything at all, and the only Pingjiangmen classmate who learned what the Han Dynasty played princely general Xiangning had a kind of, was also killed as soon as he ascended the throne. Well? Did you say this? Hawkers,Let's increase the impression again~

Being shouted out by Minamoto Yorichao in such a voice, Sakagami Tamura Maro was really speechless for a while, after all, the emperor is this thing, anyone with a little brain can understand what is going on, what a thousand years, the descendants of the gods are nothing more than things used to deceive those ignorant civilians. Are there civilians here? No! Although it is said that there was no real professional army before Oda Nobunaga engaged in the separation of peasants and soldiers, this group of soldiers has fought for many years, and it is obviously impossible for them to be as easy to deceive as those ordinary people. And as the Lord who has a day and no tomorrow, where will they care if you are an emperor or not.

So even if Sakaue Tamura Maro wanted to deceive people with something like the emperor being a descendant of God, no one would be fooled, but it seemed that he didn't have much to do, although he really didn't have any way now......

"It's not a way to go on like this, Kusunok-sama, you quickly take His Majesty the Emperor out of here, and I'll drag them down with Master Honganji! There is no way to keep it, just see how long it can be delayed! Sakagami Tamura Maro said anxiously. Guard? No matter where you think about it, it is impossible to hold it, after all, not only is the number of soldiers N times less than the other party, but in terms of absolute combat power, there are only so many people on your side, and on the other side, even if you don't add the strong ones among those demon beasts, the strong ones in the rebel army alone can't beat your side.

"No! Lord Sakagami, you are the pillars of the country, and you should be dragged down by the master of Zaisa and Honganji, and you should lead His Majesty the Emperor to retreat! Kusunoki shouted anxiously. Well, Kusunoki Masanari is obviously very loyal and patriotic, and resolutely hopes to stay in the palace.

Belch...... It's just that...... Anyway, did they make a mistake, why did they drag Honganji to show up no matter who the queen of the palace was? Well, in fact, it's really not that they have to drag Honganji into the water, mainly because this group of monks doesn't care whether it's true or not, and their identities have already determined that they and the Eight Miscellaneous Snake are the masters of the immortals.

In fact, a long time ago, when the book had not yet entered the troubled times, the three artifacts that sealed the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes were kept by the witch, the onmyoji and the monk, and then the onmyoji perished, and the power of the witch was weakened to almost no extent, and the three artifacts were all kept by the monk, until the rise of the martial regime, the three artifacts began to be kept by the so-called priests.

So regardless of reason, these monks are obviously regarded by the Baqi Army as the sworn enemies of the Baqi Snake, after all, you have been in charge of sealing the things on the master for so long, and you have no hatred and become enmity.

It's just that then again, the Honganji clan really hasn't even seen the three artifacts, and this is really wronged. You must know that the temples in charge of the three artifacts are all thousand-year-old temples, and they are all real monks, and they have nothing to do with this group of monks who eat meat, drink wine and play with women!

It's just that although Honganji is very, very unhappy, it can't help it. Because just after Yuan Lai decided to rebel against them, he came to assassinate himself once, although he didn't kill himself, but he also caused this group of monks to suffer very heavy losses. This also made him understand how unpopular this bald head is in this world.

Moreover, the Honganji clan, as the only monk daimyo, has a reputation in history that can be said sincerely, not to mention the sixth day demon king Oda Nobunaga, even if it is other forces, they really don't like this group of fake monks. It can be said that if there is no protection from the emperor now, even if their Honganji clan is not killed, they will basically be cannon fodder.

Therefore, he didn't have any way, to put it bluntly, when the other side had already shouted the slogan of punishing the Honganji Temple, it didn't make much sense to run away or not.

In addition, there is another point that everyone wants to stay with the Honganji clan no matter what, that is, although they are fake monks, their Dharma is still there, although no one knows what is going on with this thing, but for the attack power of demon beasts or resentful spirits, it is terrible. With this group of monks here, no matter who stays behind and delays time, they will obviously have a little bottom in their hearts.

"That's it! Don't say it, I'm older than you, so you have to listen to me, Kusunoki Zhengcheng! Now I order you to protect the Emperor and evacuate Kyoto at once!" Execute it now! Sakagami Tamura Maro waved his hand and said resolutely.

And when Kusunoki Masanari saw Sakaue Tamura Maro's attitude, he knew that he had no choice but to continue to persuade him, so he could only salute and immediately led Emperor Suiko to leave from the secret passage. Well, when did they dig this thing? It's too crisis-conscious.

At this time, Emperor Tuigu was not pretentious, not only because she could not play any role if she stayed here, but also because she also had a major mission, that is, to continue the blood of the emperor. You must know that in this world, there is no one who can inherit the throne of the emperor except her...... Well, I'm still thinking about this kind of thing at this time, and this Emperor Tuigu is really ...... Belch...... How so?

The actions in Kyoto City are obviously not visible from the outside, but they can also guess that they can come out, after all, in this case, the other party really has not many choices.

"Gen Yoshitsune! You lead people to chase down Emperor Gu, you must capture her alive! "Minamoto Yorichao ordered, well, this order...... To be honest, there are some people who really say that, obviously, Minamoto Yoritomo has absolutely no such thing as not out of good intentions, after all, there is such a thing as hunting down the emperor...... Obviously not a good job, if you are used by someone with a heart, the name of the sinner of the ages is waiting for you.

Yuan Yijing obviously didn't want to do this errand, after all, he was still quite loyal and courageous, let alone such a big rebellious thing. And he was already very dissatisfied when he learned that Minamoto Yoritomo had taken refuge in the Eight Miscellaneous Orochi, and he didn't have any three persuasions to Gen Yorito, but directly carried a knife and planned to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's a pity that it was stopped by Yuan Laichao's anger, and looking at Yuan Yijing's expression now, you can know that this girl is still very unhappy!

It's just that Yuan Laichao has already spoken, and what he said is called a righteous Ling Ran. "Brother! I know that you are very dissatisfied with your brother's defection to the Eight Miscellaneous Snake, but you must know that my brother and I are all for the Yuan family! The current world is not the world we used to live in, and there is no emperor here, so why do we still worship that person as the master? Being a brother is just choosing a strong force between the two forces, if not, look at the current form, do you think the family can live until tomorrow? Yuan Laichao looked bitter, as if he really didn't want to.

So, Yuan Yijing was convinced, there is no way, this kid is good at everything, but his ears are soft, and there is nothing he can do about his brother, as soon as he said it, even if Yuan Yijing is reluctant, he can only do it. So, Yuan Yijing flashed with his subordinates with a bitter face, as for where to chase? Hey, Minamoto Yorichao didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask.

And other forces also sent their strongest retainers to chase after Emperor Suiko. Hawkers,It's not that the Eight Miscellaneous Snake has given any similar orders.,People are still watching the play lazily in Kinaba.com.。 What's the show? Ahem...... Didn't you see a tengu-looking guy in the sky holding a magic weapon that I don't know what it was?

Ahem...... Off topic. In other words, the only reason they did this was orthodoxy...... Well, although they don't say it in their mouths, but they can always remember it in their hearts, if they can arrest Emperor Suiko, and then ooxx, then no matter whether they can become emperors or not, they and their sons can always become emperors. In this way, isn't there righteousness?

Although it is almost impossible for this world or the outside world to recognize such a thing as the emperor nowadays, in any case, psychologically, it is a great encouragement to them and their retainers, and in turn, it is also a fatal blow to their enemies. (To be continued.) )
