Rokugo Katsuya stared at Ichiya Raizo and asked, "Is what you said true?"
Ichiya Raizo did not rush to answer the question, but clapped his hands and asked the maids to come in and pour tea for the people present.
Su Yuchen and Jiang Xiyu also walked in among them, but of course they were not there to pour tea. Instead, they stood quietly at the door of the conference room and calmly watched everything in front of them.
When the maids filed out, they heard a series of "clicking" sounds, and 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 watched this scene expressionlessly: "Ichiya Raizo, what do you want to say?"
"Yae Mio, Yae Shinkami... It doesn't matter what the truth was about what happened in the palace back then. There is only one important thing..." Ichiya Raizo said indifferently: "That is, Emperor Amaterasu is now seriously ill."
"You want to rebel?" Shidian Zhongze knocked on the table: "Do you want to complete the goal that Yi Ye Cheng Mi failed to achieve?"
"Treason?" Yiya Raizo said expressionlessly, "That position should have belonged to the Yiya family. If it weren't for their frame-up, how could Amaterasu Ryuken be sitting in that position now?"
Rokugo Katsuya sneered: "The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. It has been like this since ancient times. No matter what the truth was, you are now plotting a rebellion!"
"Open the door, I won't keep you company!"
"Rokugo Katsuya." Ichiya Raizo said softly, "Her Majesty Amaterasu is seriously ill now, so she is in a hurry to appoint a prince to stabilize the domestic political situation. Do you want to be loyal to an ignorant and lustful emperor?"
"Your Majesty Amaterasu is a man of great talent and vision, but because of the failure of the Lost Array and the death of the Eightfold True God, she has fallen ill and her health is deteriorating. Amaterasu Hiromitsu is unable to take on the responsibility. Do you want to sit back and watch your majesty's grand plan to dominate the Eastern Continent go to waste?"
"It's not your turn to pledge allegiance to her!" Rokugo Katsuya said expressionlessly, "Amaterasu will protect Her Majesty."
"It's been almost a month since Emperor Amaterasu fell ill." Ichiya Raizang said faintly, "If the gods really protected him, why didn't he recover for so long?"
"Your Majesty may have already recovered, and he is just waiting for you to fall into the trap of Yi Ye Lei Zang!"
"Really?" Yi Ye Lei Zang smiled and looked at Yi Ye Dao Wu. Yi Ye Dao Wu opened the space window of the conference room with an expressionless face, and pictures were projected on the big screen.
Yi Ye Lei Zang looked at the important people of Yi Ye family who were called back and said: "The reason why I brought you back is also for this matter."
"Yiichi Shigenobu was seriously injured and admitted to the intensive care unit. He is still in danger of death. Yiichi Takuren and Yiichi Hiroki were assassinated. Yiichi Mitsunobu and Yiichi Kazama were injected with anti-magic crystal potion by the criminals and became completely disabled."
The expressions of Yi Ye family's top leaders gradually changed, especially the parents of Yi Ye Takuren and Yi Ye Hongshu, who only learned the news now!
"Rokugo-kun." Ichiya Raizo looked at Rokugo Katsuya with a smile on his face: "All five heirs of my Ichiya family have been abolished. Guess who did this?"
In today's magic families, not only the son of the head of the family has the right of inheritance, but the children of several blood brothers also have the right of inheritance in order. In the end, the "best" (one's own son) will take the throne, and the loser will be in charge of other family affairs and gradually become a branch of the family, which no longer has the right of inheritance.
But now, all five heirs of the Yiye family's next generation have been abolished, and it is very likely that the side branches will take control of power in the future. As the head of the family, no one can accept this.
Rokugo Katsuya fell silent. If he were in Ichiya Raizo's position, he would not be able to accept such a thing...and the more serious problem was that all the heirs of Ichiya's family were abolished.
One can imagine how cruel the mastermind was to Yi Ye’s family.
Yiye Leizang glanced at the important people of the Yiye family present: "Someone must be secretly happy now, right?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense as no one spoke.
Ichiya Raizo did not continue to question, but looked at Rokugo Katsuya again: "Ichiya's future... Rokugo-kun, do you still think that the gods are protecting Emperor Amaterasu?"
Katsuya Rokugo fell silent. If Her Majesty Amaterasu was not terminally ill, she would not be so anxious to appoint a crown prince, and she would not treat the Ichiya family like this in order to allow a mediocre person to take the throne.
Her Majesty Amaterasu was afraid that Amaterasu Hiromitsu could not support the royal family, so she took action against the heir of the Ichiya family.
As for why they didn't attack Ichiya Raizo, it was obvious that one, there was no legitimate reason to attack the Ten Families of Amaterasu, and two, Ichiya Raizo was too powerful, and killing him was much more difficult than killing the heir of the Ichiya family.
After killing the heir of the Ichiyomi family, even if Ichiyomi Raizo hated the royal family, he would not be able to fight against them, because Majesty Amaterasu was dead and the royal family still had several masters who could compete with Ichiyomi Raizo.
By then Amaterasu Hiromitsu had succeeded to the throne smoothly, but one night Raizo still wanted to rebel, and the people of Amaterasu were the first to rebel against him.
Killing the heir of Yi Ye family would cause Yi Ye family to be caught up in the struggle between the main family and the branch family, and would have no time to take care of other things. At that time, not only would the royal orthodoxy not be affected, but Yi Ye family would also suffer a great loss of strength due to internal strife.
Thinking of this, Rokugo Katsuya already believed what Ichiya Raizo said: Her Majesty Amaterasu's health condition was indeed not good.
but……
Rokugo Katsuya looked at Ichiya Raizo and said, "Even if Amaterasu Hiromitsu is an incompetent mediocre person, even if you succeed, what about the future? You can't be unscathed after reaching that position. Will you still have the energy to create another successor?"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if you have done all of this, without the oracle, you will never be recognized!"
"Liu Xiangjun, have you forgotten why I invited you and Shi Nianjun here?"
Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa looked at each other and understood instantly. Juden Nakazawa said softly: "Do you know the secret of God's gift?"
Ichiya Raizo smiled but said nothing. Rokugo Katsuya glanced at the other members of the Ichiya family. It seemed that Ichiya Raizo had made up his mind. If he helped him succeed in starting a rebellion, then the Rokugo family would be the dragon's successor...
but!
Rokugo Katsuya sat back in his seat, looked at Ichiya Raizo and said slowly: "I have no objection to your wish to return to the royal orthodoxy, but even with our help, it would still be a tragic victory. At that time, the strength of Amaterasu Kyoei Kokuei would be greatly weakened, and it would be impossible to accomplish the great cause of dominating the Eastern Continent."
"To be honest, you are no match for Her Majesty Amaterasu."
"Looking at all the emperors, there are not many who can surpass Amaterasu Ryuken. I know I can't compare to him, but..." Yiya Raizo smiled slightly: "I never said I want to sit in that position."
"Head of the family?" Yi Ye Ming stared at Yi Ye Lei Zang. His thoughts, which had been sorted out, suddenly became confused again. What was the head of the family thinking?
"Oh?" Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakazawa exchanged glances and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Ichiya 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 sit in that position, the royal family under my leadership will still fall into the embarrassing situation of having no heirs in the future. Amaterasu Ryuken thought he had killed all the heirs of my Yichu family, but he never expected that I still had an heir hidden!"
Ichiya 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 elder sister Ichiya Chimei, my niece, and a princess with royal blood!"
Ichiya Raizo glanced at everyone present, and in the surprised gazes of everyone, he spoke slowly and unhurriedly: "I want Mio to become Emperor Amaterasu!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
"Are you crazy?!" The first to stand up was Ichiya Shinhiro: "You want her to be the emperor? She's a woman!"
"Master, please forgive me for being blunt. Although Yae Mio has the bloodline of the Ichiya family, she is not from the same family. She is not even qualified to be the master of the family, let alone inherit the throne!"
"..."
Ichiya Raizo looked expressionlessly at the Ichiya family executives who stood up to oppose, then looked down at Yae Mio.
Facing the fierce opposition from everyone, Yae Mio simply placed the Eight-foot Mirror on the table in front of her and said a few words to make them shut up temporarily -
"I am destined to be with you!"
……
Chapter 322 The Big Black Snake is Coming
"I am destined to be with you!"
Looking at the Eight-foot Mirror, one of the three sacred artifacts that Yae Mio placed on the table, and listening to Yae Mio's calm voice, the noisy conference room fell silent again for a moment.
Katsuya Rokugo and Nakazawa Juden stared at the Eight-foot Mirror set up by Yae Mio, and could clearly feel some of the divine power contained in it - it was not a replica!
Yae Mio looked at everyone with a smile on her face: "A meteor shower delivered the Eight-foot Mirror to me. This is enough to prove that after Yae... Amaterasu died, the next generation of the royal family did not have anyone capable of taking on the responsibility, so the God chose me."
"The Ichiya family once had the potential to seize control of Amaterasu's political power. Although they are no longer part of the main clan, the fact that I have royal blood flowing in my veins will not change. And I have half royal blood flowing in my veins."
"I am also qualified to sit on that supreme throne, am I not?" Yae Mio looked at the one who was arguing the most fiercely, "Am I right?"
Yiya Zhenguang withdrew his gaze from the Eight-foot Mirror and said in a cold voice: "I still say the same thing, you are not qualified to inherit."
Although women from the aristocratic families of Amaterasu Kyoei Province are also in the order of succession, throughout history, this order of succession has mostly been a decoration, and there have been almost no women who have truly ascended to high positions.
It is almost a consensus in this country that men are superior to women.
Ichiya Shinhiro continued: "I don't know how the Eight-foot Mirror came into your hands, but you are not qualified to sit in that position."
"Master, I don't know what your considerations are, but whether it is your true thoughts or a temporary measure, I don't agree with Yae Mio taking that position."
Yiye Raizo glanced at Yiye Zhenguang without saying anything. At this time, Yae Mio stood up and walked step by step to the position where Yiye Raizo had just been. She did not sit down, but just operated the keyboard of the space window. Soon, the photo of the corpse of the future heir of the Yiye family on the window screen was closed, and replaced by a surveillance video in a dark environment.
"You just said that I'm not even qualified to inherit the position of family head, right?" Yae Mio looked at Ichiya Mahiro with a smile. At the same time, she placed the jade talisman proving her status as the head of the Yae family on the table. In the surveillance video, Yae Hisamori, whose limbs were pierced by iron chains and whose upper body had countless scars, gradually came into everyone's sight.
"I just forgot to tell you that I am not the acting head of the family now, but the de facto head of the Yae family."
Yae Mio raised her chin slightly and looked at Lord Chen who was standing at the door without blinking: "My father has seriously passed the position of the head of the family to me."
Seriously send it to you?
Is this a seizure of the throne?
Listening to Yae Mio's serious tone and looking at the tragic end of Yae Hisamori in the window screen behind her, the eyes of these elders looked at Yae Mio gradually became solemn.
Faced with such a picture of a loving father and a filial daughter, Yi Ye Zhen Guang, who had just voiced the loudest opposition, felt a little frightened and didn't know what to say.
Katsuya Rokugo stared at Yae Mio in silence. He had contacted Yae Hisamori by phone the day before yesterday, and had a short text chat with him at noon today... When did Yae Mio attack Yae Hisamori? And how did she succeed?
But no matter what method she used to succeed, Yae Mio was undoubtedly a very ruthless and terrifying female hero.
Yae Mio looked at Su Yuchen and continued, "Yae Hisamori knew that Yae Shinshin was not his biological son, so he let me kill Amaterasu Shinshin and sent my aunt to prevent Amaterasu from taking me away from the Castle in the Sky."
"Emperor Amaterasu's eleven sons have different personalities, but they all have one thing in common, which is that they have poor magical talents. These are the results of Amaterasu secretly instigated by Yae Hisamori."
"Hearing this, you must think that Yae Hisamori is a powerful figure for enduring and secretly harming the descendants of Emperor Amaterasu... I thought so too, so I asked him if he was willing to support me to sit in that position, and what was the result?"
Yae Mio did not hide her contempt: "He remembered the psychological trauma left by Emperor Amaterasu, so he became cowardly, so... I destroyed him."
Yae Mio looked at Ichiya Raizo and said, "Uncle, you are much braver than him."
Ichiya Raizo smiled slightly, took a step forward and asked, "Makoto, do you have anything else to say?"
Ichiya Shinhiro's eyes flickered: "I admit that Mio is a talented person, but..."
Noticing that Ichiya Raizo had stopped behind him, Ichiya Shinhiro shrank back, but he didn't believe that Ichiya Raizo would humiliate him in public, so he continued, "After all, her last name is not 'Ichiya', she is the daughter of Yae Hisamori!"
Yae Mio, wearing a black kimono, was dignified and generous: "Amaterasu Hiromitsu is also half of the Ichiya family, isn't he?"
"You are just making a sophistry." Ichiya Mahiro looked at Yae Mio: "The paternal bloodline is the bloodline!"
"I just ask you one question, do I have royal blood?" Yae Mio lowered her eyes slightly.
"If you were a man..."
"What a pity." Yae Mio looked up and smiled at Ichiya Mahiro.
puff-
Blood spurted in the meeting room. Standing behind Ichiya Shinhiro, Ichiya Raizo with an expressionless face pulled out his right hand that had pierced Ichiya Shinhiro's temple. He wiped the blood on Ichiya Shinhiro's clothes and whispered, "What a pity."
"Master!?"
Several high-ranking members of the Yiye Clan stood up instantly. It was not that they wanted to go against Yiye Leizang, but they were frightened by his ruthlessness in attacking his fellow clansmen.
"Uncle, I think all uncertainties should be eliminated." Yae Mio was like the head of the Ichiyomi family, giving orders to Ichiyomi Raizo from a high position.
Yi Ye Lei Zang was not dissatisfied at all. On the contrary, he nodded in agreement: "I think so too."
"Dawu, Ming, do it."
Yiye Daowu rushed towards the person who had just opposed him without any hesitation, and Yiye Ming met Yiye Leizang's gaze while hesitating, gritted his teeth and stood up to take action.
Rokugo Katsuya and Juten Nakazawa, who were sitting opposite, sat up straight and looked at the bloody scene in front of them. They felt a little panicked. It was not because they were afraid that Ichiyata Raizo and the others would attack them, but because they were horrified to find that the high-level members of the Ichiyata family were killed without putting up any resistance.
At this critical moment of life and death, it was impossible for them to obediently accept death because of Yiye Leizang's order, so there was only one possibility left: they had no way to resist.
What is the reason why they can’t even use Yin-Yang magic?
Su Yuchen at the door calmly looked at the blood mist floating in the air. The reason why Yiye Leizang, under Xiyu's control, kept talking for so long and why Yae Mio performed for so long was just because Kanwuye had not arrived yet.
Otherwise, so much time would not have been wasted, but Xiyu would have hypnotized and controlled them directly, making them support Yae Mio for no reason.
The reason why he was certain that the giant snake Kamui Ye would come was not only because there was only one candidate for Emperor Amaterasu, but also because of the scenes in which Mu Lingyan and Kamui Ye stood together several times when Raorao was treating Emperor Amaterasu.
Yi Ye's family made such a big commotion, it is impossible for Mu Lingyan not to care, so there is a high probability that she will ask Shen Wuye to come and take a look.
The result of the bet was naturally that Su Yuchen won - because the big snake Shen Wuye came.
In the conference room that was gradually falling into silence and amid the lingering smell of blood, Su Yuchen walked towards the table.
At this time, anyone's every move would attract everyone's attention. Su Yuchen undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention at this time. Whether it was the people from Yiya family or Rokugo Katsuya and Juden Nakaze, they all found that they were very unfamiliar with Su Yuchen.
Just as Yae Mio was about to approach Su Yuchen, Su Yuchen signaled her with his eyes to stay where she was, and then picked up the black tea cup and spoon that had been in front of Yae Mio's seat.
Yae Mio's eyes lit up when she saw this scene. Was Lord Chen going to drink the black tea that she had just taken a sip of? This, this, this...wasn't this just an indirect kiss with Lord Chen?
How could such a wonderful thing happen?
Yae Mio swallowed and looked at Su Yuchen expectantly, but at this moment, a loud noise broke her fantasy -
Boom!
The main door of the conference hall, which was protected by a special metal door, was directly broken open by powerful magic. The flickering black magic swallowed up the dust, broken metal and wood chips. A slender figure gradually emerged in the surging magic. With the sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps, she stopped in place, and a pair of dark eyes swept over everyone present.
After taking a glance at the corpse on the ground, Kannaya finally fixed his gaze on Ichiyō Raizo's face.
