Amaterasu Imperial Palace, main hall.
"Didn't he say that His Majesty is seriously ill? Doesn't he look like he is seriously ill?"
Looking at the angry Emperor Amaterasu on the throne, Juden Nakazawa controlled his expression and whispered to Rokugo Katsuya: "Are we being fooled? What should we do next?"
Rokugo Katsuya glanced at Ichiyo Raizo with an expressionless expression: "Assess the situation and wait and see what happens."
On the throne, Emperor Amaterasu looked condescendingly at the ministers of the Amaterasu Co-Prosperity Kingdom under his leadership. Today, his heart could not feel the slightest sense of dominion over the world. Instead, he felt full of the aggrieved feeling of being coerced.
But your life is in the hands of others. No matter how frustrated you are, you can only continue to hold it in unless you have a chance to fight back.
His eyes swept over Ichino Raizo's face, and Emperor Amaterasu clasped his hands. Kannaya died at the Ichino family last night, so Ichiyo Raizou must be rebelling at this moment... But, among the five heirs of the Ichino family, why? Do you want Yae Mio to be the crown prince?
After suppressing the doubts in his heart, under the auspices of Cabinet Prime Minister Nobusuke Komiya, the court meeting quickly entered into the discussion of the selection of the crown prince.
Nikaidou Yuuki and Nanakusa Shinji looked at each other, silently waiting for His Majesty Amaterasu to nominate Amaterasu Hiromitsu. However, they waited and waited but could not wait for Emperor Amaterasu to speak.
In the midst of doubts, Kujo Hideichi began: "Your Majesty, the fifth son of the Emperor, Amaterasu Hiromitsu, has excellent qualifications and a pure character. I think he is the best candidate to be the crown prince."
His voice instantly attracted everyone's attention. Emperor Amaterasu looked at him expressionlessly: "Where is Kujo Island?"
"My brother is not feeling well, and I have specifically asked you to act as the head of the family."
Hearing the familiar words 'acting family head', Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa's expressions changed slightly. A bad premonition arose in their hearts. Will the current fate of Kujo Island be the same as Yae Hisamori's? Same thing, right?
The possibility is very high...
But why did Kujo Eiichi support Amaterasu Hiromitsu instead of Yae Mio?
Wasn't it the mysterious man's attack on Kujo Island yesterday?
Rokugo Katsuya looked at Nikaido Yuuki. Amid the calm expression of the Vice Prime Minister, many important ministers seconded Kujo Eiichi and supported the establishment of the fifth son of the Emperor, Amaterasu Hiromitsu, as the crown prince.
Emperor Amaterasu on the throne frowned slightly, because the scene he encountered now was not one-sided support for Yae Mio's ascendancy. What's going on?
The man last night said that today's court meeting would surprise him... He was indeed surprised, but the reason for surprise was not because of the voices supporting Yae Mio, but because there were still people supporting Amaterasu Hiromitsu.
Some time ago, I did have the idea of making Amaterasu Hiromitsu the crown prince, but last night I didn't want to do it at all - it wasn't because I was coerced, it was just instinctive.
That's why he was a little surprised at this time. There were so many people in the court supporting Amaterasu Hiromitsu. How could that kid be so virtuous?
After calming down and looking at the almost one-sided voice below, Emperor Amaterasu saw Ichiyo Raizo raise his head at this moment, and said with an expressionless expression over everyone else's voice: "I feel that Yae should be selected by the Yachi mirror immediately. Mio is the crown prince!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent for only a second. A second later, countless curses poured in towards Ichiyo Raizo.
The heads of the Nikaido, Miwa, Shishiki, Gokaku, Nanakusa, and Kujo families all looked at Ichiyo Raizo, thinking how could he say such nonsense?
Only the divine descendants of Amaterasu are qualified to sit on the throne that has been passed down for thousands of years. How does Yae Mio, who has no divine descent, qualify to sit in that position?
And she's also a woman.
Let a woman sit in the supreme position and command the entire Amaterasu?
Totally unacceptable!
Had Raizo taken the wrong medicine or had a mental problem?
Cabinet Prime Minister Shinsuke Komiya tried to maintain order in the court, but because one night Raizo's words were too outrageous, he could not suppress the voice in the court.
In desperation, he could only look at Emperor Amaterasu on the throne.
However, Emperor Amaterasu just watched this scene quietly, with no intention of stopping it.
Seeing that someone was trying to take action, Nikaido Yuki knew it was time for him to maintain order, so he took a step forward.
The background of the Nikaido family made the court a lot quieter. Nikaido Yuuki looked at Ichiyo Raizo and was about to scold him——
"I second the proposal!"
Rokugo Katsuya spoke slowly.
"Who are you seconding?" Nikaidou Xionghui narrowed his eyes.
"I second the proposal to make Yae Mio the crown prince." Rokugo Katsuya looked at Nikaido Yuki: "Whether it is His Majesty's eldest son Amaterasu Takashi, the fifth son of the emperor Amaterasu Hiromitsu, or other princes, all of them have insufficient qualifications and defective characters. .”
"None of them can shoulder the future of Amaterasu and shoulder His Majesty's ambition to dominate the Eastern Continent, but Yae Mio is different. She was chosen by Amaterasu with the artifact Bachi Mirror..."
"Rokugo Katsuya!" Shinji Nanakusa interrupted him directly: "Do you want to tarnish the orthodox divine bloodline? What is your intention to subvert the divine bloodline of Lord Amaterasu?"
"Your Majesty, I request that the treacherous Ichiyo Raizo and Rokugo Katsuya be executed immediately!"
In Nanakusa Shinji's eloquent tone, everyone looked at Emperor Amaterasu. Emperor Amaterasu was relieved in his heart, and the one who was loyal to him was the most.
As for executing Ichiyo Raizo and Rokugo Katsuya...why wouldn't he want to? It's just that I can't do it now, I can only endure it until everything is over, and then find Raizo Ichigo and Katsuya Rokugo to settle the score.
After it's all over?
Emperor Amaterasu narrowed his eyes and remembered that the person last night said that it could be up to three days, so could he continue to shorten the three days?
For example, tomorrow's canonization ceremony will be advanced to this afternoon?
Canonize the prince in advance, depose the prince in advance, and then settle the score with Raizo and the others in advance!
After thinking this, Emperor Amaterasu no longer wasted time, looked at Juden Nakazawa, and smiled slightly: "What do you think?"
Juden Nakazawa's eyes twitched when he was personally named by Emperor Amaterasu. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I think Raizo Ichiyo is right!"
Nikaidou Yuuki looked at them in surprise. Did these three people take the wrong medicine today?
The Ichiyo family recalled important figures and invited Rokugo Katsuya, Yae Hisamori and Juden Nakazawa...
What happened at Yiye's house last night? Where did the three of them find the courage to say such treasonous words at the court meeting? And why didn’t Yae Hisamori come today?
"Okay, okay."
After hearing Juden Nakazawa's answer, Emperor Amaterasu smiled brightly, but there was a cold light in his eyes. After pressing his hands to silence everyone, he looked at Cabinet Prime Minister Shinsuke Komiya: "Read it."
"According to the order."
Komiya Shinsuke took out the edict for the crown prince that His Majesty gave him early this morning. This was the first time he opened it. He read it while reading it——
"... Long Xian, the 97th generation descendant of the gods, would like to inform the ancestors of the gods..."
As he read, Komiya Shinsuke's voice paused for a moment, but the next second he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to read out Emperor Amaterasu's edict in a steady voice.
"The eldest daughter of the emperor, Amaterasu Mio, is the first heir of the clan and has been sent to Yae. Today's will belongs to me. I hereby abide by the will of the gods, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion. I sincerely inform the gods, the ancestral temple, and the country, confer a treasure on the book, and establish him as the crown prince. , is located in the East Palace, with the authority of thousands of years, and the heart of spreading all over the world."
"The announcement is made at home and abroad, and the envoys will know it."
silence.
Nikaido Yuuki and others showed a little confusion on their expressions. Yae Mio is actually the eldest daughter of His Majesty Amaterasu and Empress Amaterasu, but she was just fostered in Yae's family since she was a child?
No, no, what if Yae Mio is the eldest princess of the royal family? What qualifications does her daughter have to inherit the throne?
This not only involves being given orders by a woman, but also involves the inheritance of the future throne... After Yae Mio's death, who will inherit the throne?
Emperor Amaterasu looked at the gradually changing expressions of Nikaido Yuki and others, and before they could react, he said bluntly: "The canonization ceremony will be held this afternoon."
After saying that, he ignored everyone's expressions and left the main hall.
"Ichiyo Raizo!" Nikaido Yuuki's voice was instantly violent. He rushed in front of Ichiyo Raizo and grabbed his collar without grace: "What did you do? Why did Your Majesty make Yae Mio the crown prince? she····"
"It's Amaterasu Mio." Ichiyo Raizo smiled slightly: "He is the heir selected by the gods and has divine blood."
"She is better than Amaterasu Takashi and the others. She can inherit His Majesty's will and lead Amaterasu..."
"I asked you what you did!?" Nikaidou Yuki interrupted him: "Why did your Majesty accept this suggestion?"
"Because the Eight Chi Mirror is an oracle, the will of Amaterasu!"
Ichiyo Raizo took Nikaido Yuuki's hands away unhurriedly, straightened his clothes and said, "The canonization ceremony will be held in the afternoon, and I have to help His Majesty with the arrangements. See you in the afternoon."
Seeing Raizo Ichiyo, Katsuya Rokugo and Nakazawa Juden leaving, Nikaidou Yuuki and Nanakusa Shinji's expressions turned pale. They did not help Amaterasu Hiromitsu to the position of the prince. What should they do now?
At this time, personal life interests are far higher than Amaterasu's future. After all, it is very likely that Amaterasu's future will not be seen now...
Kujo Hide, who was in a daze, saw the scene of his brother Kujojima's head exploding in front of his eyes. The Yuki Onna should be waiting outside at this moment. Can he walk out of the palace alive?
"What should we do now?" Shinji Nanakusa asked softly.
"How did I know?" Nikaido Yuuki said irritably: "But it's Yae Mio... Who would have thought that she is the eldest daughter of the emperor? And His Majesty is determined to make her the crown prince. What can we do?"
Taking a deep breath, Nikaidou Yuuki walked and said, "Go to the shrine chief first and test his tone."
On the roof of the main hall, Su Yuchen looked at the Amaterasu ministers leaving one after another, and said to himself: "It turns out that we can advance."
"What's ahead of time, meow?"
"The canonization ceremony." Su Yuchen stood up and pulled up Rao Rao: "I thought there was something that needed to be paid attention to in the canonization ceremony, so as not to violate the taboo about 'gods'... What a coincidence, we can do it tonight. After finishing things, we might be able to go home early."
More importantly, you don't have to worry about delaying Mu Lingyan's time, which can save a lot of effort.
'President, President, luck is on my side. '
Rao Rao's eyes lit up when he heard Su Yuchen's voice, and he said excitedly: "Rao Rao misses Sister Yu Shuang a little bit."
"I want to, too." Su Yuchen said softly, "Let's go meet Xiyu."
"Hmm~"
······
Emperor Amaterasu returned to the Imperial Palace and changed his clothes while being served by Chiaki Amaterasu. Chisi Fujiwara, who came over and knelt on the floor, said in a nervous voice: "Your Majesty, the canonization ceremony will be held in a hurry this afternoon. Many matters have not been prepared. ···And it’s an unlucky day.”
"fine."
Emperor Amaterasu, with his eyes closed, said expressionlessly: "Just keep everything simple."
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the candidate selected by the Lord God using the Eight Chi Mirror. If the ceremony is too simple, will it attract the anger of the Lord God?"
"No." Emperor Amaterasu frowned: "Do as I say."
"According to the order." Fujiwara Chisi took a deep breath and stepped back, hurrying back to Amaterasu Shrine to arrange everything.
"Chosen by the Lord God?"
After Chisi Fujiwara left, Emperor Amaterasu smiled sarcastically and looked down at Chiaki Amaterasu: "Tell me, why didn't Amaterasu protect her descendants this time?"
Amaterasu Chiaki said softly: "Because Mio also has the blood of a god."
brush--
Emperor Amaterasu grabbed Amaterasu Chiaki's wrist and lifted her up: "Is the filthy bloodline of Yae Hisamori worthy of being called a divine descendant?"
Seeing Amaterasu Chiaki's expression without any change, Emperor Amaterasu narrowed his eyes: "Don't you know this already?"
"What do you know?" Amaterasu Chiaki said without looking at him: "Aside from learning some external things from you, how else can I contact the outside world?"
Emperor Amaterasu snorted coldly and threw her to the floor: "Don't ever think that just because you and Yae Hisamori's daughter become the crown prince, you can meet him... People of dirty blood are not worthy of sitting in my position!"
Amaterasu Chiaki didn't say a word, but silently helped Emperor Amaterasu undress again. Now he had to endure it. There were only three days left. As long as he endured it, he could meet with Hisamori-kun.
She didn't believe at all that they would let Emperor Amaterasu go after three days. They must have some kind of ulterior secret.
Looking at the still obedient Amaterasu Chiaki, Emperor Amaterasu raised a smile: "I promise you that I will spare her life when the time comes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Amaterasu Chiaki's tone remained unchanged.
Emperor Amaterasu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Yae Mio could survive, but Yae Hisamori could not.
There are very few people who know about this matter. Yae Mio must have known her identity because Yae Hisamori told her. Otherwise, how could they unite Ichiyo, Rokugo, and Juden to create such a battle?
'Destiny? Let you see who is the destiny! '
Emperor Amaterasu, who was sitting on the bed, asked Chiaki Amaterasu to go out. After thinking for a long time, he decided to invite the Yuki Onna. After all, Kannauya was dead, and the only one who could quickly take down Yae Hisamori was the Demon King.
None of the ten divine attendants of Amaterasu can be trusted, and they all support Amaterasu Hiromitsu without knowing it!
He stood up and walked to the table, calling Amaterasu Ohmasa in via the landline: "Go to Hirado City and ask the snow girl to kill Yae Hisamori."
Emperor Amaterasu looked at Amaterasu with an expressionless face: "After the matter is completed, I can give her the three princes for her to enjoy."
Amaterasu glanced at Emperor Amaterasu without hesitation. He wanted to know why the emperor wanted to make a woman with a foreign surname, Yae Mio, the crown prince, and also said that she was a royal princess... She was clearly Yae Hisamori and Amaterasu. How could Qianming be born with dirty blood and deserve the title of princess?
"Why don't you go quickly?"
"According to the order!"
Amaterasu Daisei withdrew and immediately set off to arrange relevant matters. At the same time, the news that the Amaterasu Co-Prosperity State had established Amaterasu Mio as the crown prince was being transmitted through the embassies of various countries at an extremely fast speed.
