Hirohito seems to have been aroused by Xu Rui, a master of the ninth level of swordsmanship, who aroused his interest in learning swordsmanship. Of course, it may also be because he is restricted from freedom and cannot leave the imperial palace for even half a step, so he is really bored. Anyway, it has been since that day
, he actually summoned Xu Rui into the palace for seven consecutive days to ask him for sword skills.
If given the chance, Xu Rui would certainly not let Hirohito go.
Unfortunately, during these seven days, the three old men in kimonos were always following Hirohito inseparably, and dozens of armed guards were always watching around, making Xu Rui unable to find a chance to strike. Of course, if forced
If he takes action, there is still a chance, but Xu Rui can't do it.
It is true that Xu Rui came to assassinate Hirohito, but it does not mean that he will die with Hirohito.
If you can kill Hirohito's little devil and effectively protect yourself, why do you have to die together?
Now he is Hirohito's swordsmanship instructor. He can come in and out of the imperial palace freely, and can even see Hirohito every day, so there is no need to rush. He can find a more suitable opportunity and design a strict action plan in advance. Then after he succeeds,
, you can evacuate Japan calmly.
…
In the blink of an eye, Xu Rui has been in Tokyo for more than ten days.
That morning, after teaching Hirohito the art of swordsmanship, Xu Rui suddenly said: "Your Majesty, can you give me a calligraphy?"
"Give me an inscription?" Hirohito heard the song and knew its elegant meaning. He immediately smiled and said, "Teacher Nakajo, are you asking for an inscription for the Xuanbukan you just founded?"
The news that Xu Rui founded the Xuanbu Hall in Kanda Town was no secret to Hirohito. Not only did Hirohito know that Xu Rui had founded the Xuanbu Hall, he also knew that Xu Rui had admitted more than 300 registered disciples in just seven days.
At present, Chujo Itto-ryu is already the most famous kendo school in the Tokyo kendo world.
"Hai." Xu Rui paused and said, "I'm so abrupt."
"Not rude, not rude at all. What are the trivial matters compared to your painstaking teachings, teacher?" Hirohito chuckled and immediately turned around and said, "Come in, I'll take care of you with pen and ink."
At that moment, several guards brought pens and ink and placed them on a nearby stone table.
Hirohito took the towel from the guard, wiped the sweat from his face and body, then walked to the stone table, picked up a brush and wrote two words in a rustle: Nakajo Itto Ryu, Genbukan.
With two words in hand, Xu Rui left with satisfaction.
Of course Xu Rui didn't really want to beg for help, he was just taking the opportunity to gain Hirohito's trust. He had to make Hirohito believe that he was the contemporary successor of the Chujo Itto style. After learning the peerless swordsmanship of the Chujo Itto style, he now
His only mission is to spread the swordsmanship of Nakajo Itto-ryu to the world.
And Hirohito obviously believed this.
When Abe Suchi, the head of the Imperial Household Agency, came in, he happened to bump into Xu Rui.
Xu Rui took the words, bowed slightly, turned around and walked away.
Looking away from Xu Rui's back, Abetu walked up to Hirohito, paused and said, "Your Majesty."
Hirohito wiped his hands, and while walking in the direction of the imperial palace, he asked Abe Tsuchi: "Abe-kun, have you checked it out?"
"It's clear." Abe Suchi followed Hirohito step by step and said respectfully, "I took people to Futian Village and questioned the villagers in detail, especially the village chief Takeo Fukuda. According to the feedback from Futian Village Chief and the villagers,
Master Nakajo has lived in seclusion at a shrine outside their village for more than ten years."
Hirohito laughed and said, "You should feel relieved now."
It turned out that as early as the day Hirohito hired Xu Rui as a kendo instructor, the Imperial Household Agency had launched an investigation into him.
This is also the meaning of the title, because no matter what, a kendo master with unknown origin cannot serve as Hirohito's kendo instructor, so the Imperial Household Agency immediately launched an investigation against Xu Rui, because he knew Xu Rui or Nakajo Shuichi
There were not many people, so the Imperial Household Agency didn't find out that he came from Fukuchi Village until yesterday.
So early this morning, Abetu led people straight to Fudi Village.
The results of the investigation showed no problems, but Abe Suchi still had doubts.
Abe Suchi shook his head and said: "It's just that we haven't found out where Master Nakajo came from more than ten years ago and why he settled at the shrine at the entrance of Fukuchi Village, so I'm still worried..."
"Abe-kun." Hirohito immediately became impatient and said displeasedly, "You said before that Master Nakajo appeared too suddenly and that he might be a Langya assassin posing as him, so I won't say anything anymore, but now
You have already verified that Master Nakajo has been staying at the shrine in Fukuchi Village for ten years, but you are still worried?"
Abetu was speechless. He also felt that he seemed to be a little nervous.
In any case, the suspicion that Nakajo Shuichi is the fake Wolf Fang assassin can be ruled out.
Because Xu Rui and his Wolf Ya sneaked into Tokyo in the past ten days, but Shuichi Nakajo has been living in the shrine at the entrance of Fukuchi Village for ten years. Therefore, he cannot be Lang Ya in any case! As long as Nakajo
Shuichi is not pretending to be a wolf, so he cannot be a threat to His Majesty the Emperor. Abe Suchi still has this kind of confidence.
Hirohito added: "This matter has been revealed here. Don't investigate the origins of Master Nakajo anymore. I am not afraid of anything else. I am just afraid that if Master notices it, it will lead to unnecessary misunderstandings."
Abatu paused respectfully and said: "Hai."
While the two of them were talking, they walked into Chang Yudian without realizing it.
The Changgoden is where Hirohito and his ministers hold daily discussions.
However, when discussing military and state affairs, Hirohito preferred to be in the imperial study.
For example, when major events such as the Sino-Japanese War or the Japanese-Soviet War were discussed, most of them were in Hirohito's study room.
At this time, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, Tokyo Governor Ishihara Inotaro, and Kanin Miyazaihito were already waiting. Seeing Hirohito walking in quickly, several old devils hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted: "I am waiting to see Your Majesty.
"
"Excuse me, gentlemen." Hirohito waved his hand, walked to the big seat to the north and knelt down. After Konoe Fumimaro, Ishihara Inotaro and Kanin Miyazaihito also knelt down, he said, "Today
I invited a few people here just for one thing, in a few days the Kanda Festival will be held every two years!"
Kanda Festival? The three old devils looked at each other and suddenly had a very bad premonition.
After a pause, Hirohito continued: "In the past two years, the world situation has undergone great changes, and the empire has also experienced the cruel test of the Japan-China War and the Japan-Soviet War. At this difficult time, I believe that it is necessary to use the most positive force to
The appearance sends the most positive signal to all the people, so I want to participate in this Kanda Festival."
After finishing speaking, Hirohito looked at his three ministers with burning eyes.
In fact, sending a positive signal to all the people is all false. The reality is that the restless Hirohito has been locked up in the Imperial Palace for half a month. He is almost exhausted and desperately wants to go out and breathe fresh air.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Hirohito has not personally experienced the power of Xu Rui. Although many senior Japanese generals died tragically at the hands of Xu Rui, to Hirohito these are just cold lists after all, and there is not a bloody senior general.
He died in front of him, so he lacked a practical concept of Xu Rui's power.
If he had experienced this personally, he would never go out at this time.
Konoe Fumimaro was silent when he heard this, because what Hirohito said made sense, and he couldn't refute it.
Seeing Konoe Fumimaro's silence, Hanyuan Gong Zaijin frowned, and then retorted: "Your Majesty, I think it's better for you not to participate. In any case, Xu Rui and his six wolves are still here."
If they are not found, once they hide in the parade and suddenly attack His Majesty, the consequences will be disastrous."
Abezuo also said: "What His Highness said is absolutely true, and I also think it would be better for Your Majesty not to participate in the Kanda Festival."
"Puff!" Hirohito slapped the armrest of the throne and said angrily, "If I don't uncover Xu Rui and several of his wolf fangs, I won't be able to leave the imperial palace for a day?" After a pause, Hirohito became livid again.
He said with a straight face, "If I can't find Xu Rui and his fangs, I will have to be kept in the imperial palace by you like a stupid pig for the rest of my life?"
"Nani?" Hanin Gong Zairen's face instantly became very embarrassed, and Hirohito's words were a bit heartbreaking.
"Uncle Imperial, I have to participate in this Kanda Festival no matter what. That's it, hum!" After Hirohito finished speaking, he stood up and walked away, but left the three old devils hanging in Changyu Palace, full of bitterness and nowhere to go.
fall.
Kanin Miya Zaihito was angry with Hirohito, so he turned around and vented his anger on Ishihara Inotarō.
"Ishihara-kun!" Kanin Miya Zaijin glared at Inotarō Ishihara angrily and asked sternly, "How did you become the governor of Tokyo? What do you do with so many policemen in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? All this.
How many days have passed, why haven’t Xu Rui and his men been found yet?”
"This, that..." Faced with the accusation from Kanin Gong Zaijin, Ishihara Inotaro had no way to defend himself.
How else can you defend yourself? The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department spent a lot of manpower and material resources and searched for seven days. In addition to finding dozens of illegal overseas Chinese, they didn’t even find the hair of Xu Rui and Langya! Because of this, Tokyo
Both Metropolitan Police Department Chief Kameda Masao and Intelligence Section Chief Mouri Kogoro have been called dogs by him.
But it's no use scolding me like a dog. If you can't find it, you can't find it.
Damn Xu Rui and the wolf fangs under him disappeared without a trace as if they had turned into air.
Hanyuan Gong Zairen said again: "Ishihara-kun, there are still five days left before the Kanda Festival. I will give you four days. You must find out Xu Rui and his subordinates' wolf fangs within four days, otherwise, hum!
"
Speaking of this, Kanin Gong Zaijin gave Ishihara Wolf Taro a cold look and walked away.
Watching the figure of Kanin Miya Zaijin go away, Ishihara Inotaro's face wrinkled up. He couldn't live this day. Find Xu Rui within four days? How is it possible?!
