At six o'clock in the evening, it was a night in the aristocratic family meeting hall.
The meeting hall that gathered important figures from the Ichiya family, including Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa, became quiet when Ichiya Raizo walked in.
As the important figures of the Ichiyo Family spoke respectfully as "Master", Ichiyo Raizo sat at the front seat with a smile on his face, and glanced at the area where Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa were sitting: "Hisamori hasn't come yet. .”
"On the way." Rokugo Katsuya glanced at the important figures in the Ichiyo family, and then looked at Ichiyo Raizo, who was in the first place: "What is the god-given secret of Lord Kami?"
Raizo looked at Rokugo Katsuya: "Is this why you're here?"
"Not only...if Yae doesn't come, I won't come." Rokugo Katsuya said calmly.
Ichiyo Raizo smiled slightly: "Yae, Rokugo, and Tendens are helping each other, which really makes me envious... No one in Amaterasu wants to get too close to our Ichiyo family."
Neither Rokugo Katsuya nor Juden Nakazawa spoke. The Ichiya family's position in Amaterasu is sensitive. Who is willing to take the risk of disobeying His Majesty and get close to the Ichiya family?
They didn't want to pay attention to Raizo's original invitation. Even though it was about the secret given by the gods, although they were moved, they wouldn't come.
If they hadn't known that Yae Hisamori would also come, they wouldn't have made a trip to Kyoto City in person.
Seeing that both Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa stopped talking, Ichiyo Raizo looked at the important people in the Ichiyo family. They still didn't know the reason for being called back. Ichiyo Raizo could see their anxiety, but he Don't worry, Yae Hisamori hasn't come yet.
"Master, do you have to wait for the eighth-level master to come?" Yi Yeming glanced at the watch on his wrist: "There are still many things to deal with in the Western Continent."
"What we have to decide today is a hundred times more important than anything else." Ichiyo Raizo said calmly, "If anyone wants to leave first, there will be no need to go back to Ichiyo's house in the future."
Yi Yeming stopped talking, closed his eyes, thought, and waited for the meeting to start.
Rokugo Katsuya looked at the time and frowned slightly, then whispered to Juden Nakazawa: "Is Yae not going to stop coming?"
He was a little embarrassed. The reason why they came after Yae came was because Yae Hisamori was a popular person in front of His Majesty Amaterasu. If anything happened, he would be there to take care of it. If he didn't come, Rokugo Katsuya would have thought of being killed by His Majesty tomorrow. The scene of being summoned into the palace for questioning.
"He won't frame us..." Juden Nakazawa turned to look at the door of the conference room. Under the leadership of the maid of the Ichiya family, Yae Mio, wearing a black kimono, walked in in front of everyone.
Juden Nakaze narrowed his eyes and looked at the closed door of the conference room. After making sure that no one else would come in, his eyes stopped on the face of Yae Mio who was walking over step by step: "Where is your father?"
"My father is not in good health. I am now acting as the head of the Yae family." Yae Mio took a look at the seats and finally chose to sit opposite Raizo Kazuyo.
"Acting as the head of the family?" Rokugo Katsuya looked at Yae Mio expressionlessly: "How to act on behalf of the family?"
The upright Mio Yae smiled slightly: "Uncle Rokugo, you can treat me as the new head of the Yae family."
"Yae Hisamori will let you, the daughter who killed his son, act as the head of the family?" Rokugo Katsuya snorted coldly. While calling Yae Hisamori, he asked, "Where is Yae Hisamori now?"
Yae Mio did not answer his second question. After rejecting the ringing mobile phone, she just answered the first question calmly: "The Eight Chi mirror is in my hand."
"He will still give you the phone?" Rokugo Katsuya stood up and looked at Yae Mio: "If Yae Hisamori doesn't come, I don't think there is any need to stay."
Yae Mio did not look at Rokugo Katsuya, but quietly watched as the signal on her mobile phone was completely blocked.
Ichigo Raizo squinted his eyes and looked at Rokugo Katsuya: "Rokugo-kun, although Mio killed the Yae Shinkami, there was a reason, not to mention Mio got the recognition of Yae Kage last night, it is not impossible for Yae-kun to trust her and let her come. ····”
"Mio?" Rokugo Katsuya looked at Ichiyo Raizo: "What you call is really intimate."
Raizo smiled slightly: "Because Mio is my niece."
Niece?
Not only Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa, but everyone in the Ichiyo family except Ichiyo Daigo looked at Ichiyo Raizo with shocked expressions at this moment.
"Master, Yae Mio is your niece?" Yiyoming stared at Raizo: "Whose child is she?"
"The child of Yae Hisamori and Chiaki." Ichiyo Raizo told the secret directly.
Everyone present knew that Yae Hisamori and Ichiyomi Chiaki were once a couple heading towards marriage, but no one thought that after His Majesty Amaterasu stole his love, Amaterasu Chiaki would become pregnant with Yae Hisamori's daughter. ?
Forget about getting pregnant, and she was born safe and sound. Forget about giving birth, she is still alive and healthy until now...
Before everyone could recover from this surprising news, they heard Ichiyo Raizo continue to say: "Ye Shinjin is not the son of Yae Hisamori, he is the son of Emperor Amaterasu and Yae Gie, and he is the one whom Emperor Amaterasu always wanted to make. The choice of the prince."
Once, once, once——
After hearing the news, some people couldn't sit still and stood up directly, looking at Ichiyo Raizo in shock.
Yae Hisamori and Queen Amaterasu Chiaki gave birth to a daughter, Yae Mio, and His Majesty Amaterasu gave birth to a son with Yae Hisamori's wife, Yae Oeda?
No, that’s not right, Yae Shinkami is older than Yae Mio, so it was His Majesty Amaterasu who cuckolded Yae Hisamori first.
Why is it so messy...
Wait, Mio Yae killed Yae Shinkami, the future crown prince chosen by His Majesty Amaterasu?
How dare you come back to Amaterasu even if you don't talk about it till now? And got the recognition of the artifact Ba Chi Mirror?
What's the point?
Rokugo Katsuya stared at Raizo Ichiyo: "Is everything you said true?"
Raizo did not rush to answer this question, but clapped his hands and asked the maids to come in and pour tea for those present.
Su Yuchen and Jiang Xiyu also walked in among them, but naturally they were not pouring tea, but stood quietly at the door of the meeting hall and watched everything in front of them calmly.
When the maids filed out, they could hear the sound of "kakaka". The windows and doors of the conference hall were covered with solid metal barriers. In an instant, the conference hall became an airtight fortress.
Rokugo Katsuya looked at this scene expressionlessly: "Ichiyo Raizo, what do you want to say?"
"Yae Mio, Yae Shinjin... It doesn't matter what the truth happened in the palace that year. There is only one important thing..." Ichiyo Raizo's voice was dull: "That is that Emperor Amaterasu is now seriously ill. .”
"Do you want to rebel?" Shidian Zhongze knocked on the table: "Want to accomplish the goal that Ichiroya failed to achieve at the beginning?"
"Rebellion?" Ichiyo Raizo said expressionlessly: "The position that should belong to the Ichiya family. If it weren't for their original frame-up, where would Amaterasu Ryuken be sitting in that position now?"
Rokugo Katsuya sneered: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been the case since ancient times. No matter what the truth was at the beginning, you are treason now!"
"Open the door, I won't accompany you!"
"Rokugo Katsuya." Ichiyo Raizo spoke softly: "His Majesty Amaterasu is seriously ill now, so he is anxious to appoint a prince to stabilize the domestic situation. Do you want to be loyal to an ignorant and lustful emperor?"
"His Majesty Amaterasu has great talents and great plans, but due to the failure of the Lost Formation and the death of the Eightfold True God, he became ill and his health deteriorated. Amaterasu Hiromitsu is embarrassed to hold such a great responsibility. Do you just want to sit back and watch His Majesty's grand plan to dominate the Eastern Continent go to waste? "
"Then it's not your turn to be loyal to you!" Rokugo Katsuya said expressionlessly: "Amaterasu will protect His Majesty Amaterasu."
"It has been almost a month since Emperor Amaterasu fell ill." Ichiyo Raizo said quietly: "If the gods really protected him, why did it take so long for him to recover?"
"Your Majesty might have recovered a long time ago, and all I'm waiting for is for you to fall into a trap overnight!"
"Really?" Ichiyo Raizo smiled and looked at Ichiyo Dawu, who opened the space window of the conference hall with an expressionless face, and photos were projected on the big screen one after another.
Ichiyo Raizo looked at the important figures of the Ichiyo family who were recalled: "The reason why I brought you back is for this matter."
"Ichigo Shigenobu was seriously injured and entered the intensive care unit, and his life is still in danger. Ichiyo Takuren and Ichiya Hiroki were assassinated, and Ichigo Konobu and Ichigo Kazama were injected with anti-magic crystal potion by the gangsters, turning them into completely useless people."
The expressions of the top management of the Ichiyo family gradually changed, especially the parents of Ichiyo Takuhito and Ichiyo Hiroki. They only now know the news!
"Rokugo-kun." Ichiyo Raizo looked at Rokugo Katsuya with a smile on his face: "All the five heirs to my Ichiyo family have been deposed. Guess whose masterpiece it is?"
In today's magical family, not only the son of the head of the family has the right to inherit, but the children of several blood brothers also have the right to inherit. In the end, the 'best' (choose your own son) will be chosen, and the loser will take charge of other family affairs. Gradually, it has become A branch of the family, and the branch no longer has the right to inherit the family.
But now, all five heirs of the next generation of the Ichiyo family have been abolished. It is very likely that a side branch will take charge of the power in the future. As the head of the family, no one can accept this kind of thing.
Rokugo Katsuya fell silent. If he were sitting in Ichiyo Raizo's position, he would not be able to accept this kind of thing... and the more serious problem is that all the heirs of the Ichiyo family have been deposed.
One can imagine how cruel the mastermind is to Ichiya.
Ichiyo Raizo glanced at the important people present in the Ichiyo family: "There must be someone secretly laughing now, right?"
The atmosphere where no one spoke suddenly became tense.
Ichiyo Raizo did not continue to question, but looked at Rokugo Katsuya again: "Defining the future of the Ichiyo family...Does Rokugo-kun still feel that the gods are protecting Emperor Amaterasu?"
Rokugo Katsuya fell silent. If His Majesty Amaterasu was not terminally ill, he would not be so anxious to establish a crown prince, let alone treat the Ichiya family in this way just to let a mediocre person come to power.
His Majesty Amaterasu was afraid that Amaterasu Hiromitsu would not be able to support the royal family, so he attacked the heir to the Ichiya family.
As for why Ichino Raizo was not attacked, it was obvious that firstly, there was no legitimate reason to attack the Amaterasu Juju family, and secondly, because Ichiyo Raizo was too strong and killing him was much more difficult than killing the heir to the Ichiyo family.
And after killing the heir of the Ichiyo family, even if Ichiyo Raizo hates the imperial family, he can't fight against the imperial family, because His Majesty Amaterasu is dead, and the imperial family still has several masters who can compete against Ichiyo Raizo.
By then Amaterasu Hiromitsu succeeded to the throne, but Raizo wanted to rebel one night, and the people of Amaterasu were the first to resist him.
Killing the heir of the Ichiyo family will plunge the Ichiyo family into a fight between the main family and the branch family, with no time to care about anything else. At that time, not only will the royal family's orthodoxy not be affected, but the Ichiyo family will also be greatly weakened due to internal fighting.
Thinking of this, Rokugo Katsuya already believed Ichiyo Raizo's words: His Majesty Amaterasu's physical condition is indeed failing.
but····
Rokugo Katsuya looked at Ichiyo Raizo: "Even if Amaterasu Hiromitsu is a mediocre person with no ability, even if you succeed, what about the future? You will not be unscathed when you ascend to that position. Do you still have the energy to create another heir? "
"Taking a step back, even if you have done all these things, it is impossible for you to be recognized without the oracle!"
"Rokugo-kun, have you forgotten the reason why I invited you and Juden-kun here?"
Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa looked at each other and understood instantly. Juden Nakazawa spoke softly: "Do you know the secret of Kami-sama's divine gift?"
Raizo smiled and said nothing, and Katsuya Rokugo glanced at the other members of the Ichiyo family. It seemed that Raizou had made up his mind. If he succeeded in helping him, then the Rokugo family would be a slave to the dragon...
but!
Rokugo Katsuya sat back in his seat, looked at Ichiyo Raizo and said slowly: "I have no objection to you wanting to return to the royal family's orthodoxy, but even if you have our help, you will still lose miserably. At that time, Amaterasu co-prosperity If the country’s strength is greatly reduced, it will be impossible to complete the great cause of dominating the Eastern Continent.”
"To be honest, you are not as good as His Majesty Amaterasu."
"Looking at all previous emperors, there are few who can surpass Amaterasu Ryuken. I know I can't compare to him, but..." Ichiyo Raizo smiled slightly: "I never said I wanted to sit in that position."
"Patriarch?" Yi Yeming stared at Lei Zang, his thoughts that had been smoothed out suddenly became confused again. What was the Patriarch thinking?
"Oh?" Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa exchanged glances and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
One night Raizo stood up and walked slowly along the long table: "I have a way to preserve Amaterasu's strength to the greatest extent."
"Rokugo-kun, as you just said, even if I am seriously injured and take that position, the royal family under my leadership will still be in the embarrassing situation of having no heirs in the future. Amaterasu Ryuken thought he had killed all the heirs of my Ichiyo family, but He never imagined that I still have an heir hidden!"
Ichiyo Raizo stopped behind Yae Mio and placed his hands on the back of the chair under Yae Mio: "Yae Mio, the biological daughter of my sister Ichiyo Chiaki, my niece, and a princess who also has royal blood!"
Raizo glanced at everyone present, and in the eyes of everyone's surprise, he spoke slowly and unhurriedly: "I want to make Mio become Emperor Amaterasu!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
"Are you crazy!?" The first person to stand up was Ichiyomihiro: "You want her to be the emperor? She is a woman!"
"Master of the family, with all due respect, although Yae Mio has blood from the Ye family, but... she has a foreign surname, let alone inherit the throne, the master of the family has no qualifications for her!"
"····"
Ichiyo Raizo looked expressionlessly at the senior members of the Ichiyo family who stood up to object, and then looked down at Yae Mio.
Faced with the fierce opposition from everyone, Yae Mio just placed the Yachi Mirror on the table in front of her, and with a single word, she shut them up for the time being——
"I am the one destined by fate!"
······
