Chapter 947: Emotional Outburst and Public Parade

In the ancient and mysterious land of Fusang, rumors grow like wild grass, especially in Kyoto, the country's political and cultural center, where every piece of news can quickly stir up a thousand waves. As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger", as the tabloid news about Emperor Jindong's current situation spread more and more, even those who were initially skeptical began to waver, and their hearts gradually leaned towards those seemingly ridiculous but hard to ignore statements.

In the streets and alleys of Kyoto, in teahouses and restaurants, people gathered in groups, and the focus of discussion was without exception the health of the emperor. Rumors spread like wildfire, quickly spreading to every corner, even the most remote villages.

The people's hearts were filled with anxiety and uneasiness. They were worried about the future of the country, and they were even more afraid that the emperor's accident would cause an immeasurable blow to this precarious country.

At such a turbulent moment, a large number of people gathered in a square in Kyoto.

They were either standing or sitting, their eyes revealing confusion and anxiety about the future. In a corner of the square, a middle-aged man stood on a makeshift platform.

"My compatriots!" The middle-aged man's voice was loud and powerful, penetrating the noise of the crowd. Every word was clearly heard by everyone. "We, as the people of Fuso, have the right to know the truth! Although we don't know whether the content in the tabloid is true or not, there is no smoke without fire. The government must give us an explanation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into warm applause and cheers. The people's emotions were ignited, and they raised their arms and echoed in unison: "We want to see the emperor safe and sound! The government cannot hide the truth!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man became even more emotional: "Our country is at a crossroads in history. If Emperor Jindong really encounters an accident, it will be an unbearable burden for the entire Fuso. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take action and demand that the government be open and transparent and safeguard our right to know!"

At this moment, a patrol of soldiers suddenly rushed into the square, their steps were in unison, and the long guns in their hands flashed coldly in the sun. The soldiers quickly dispersed, violently pushing the people surrounding the platform, trying to disperse the crowd.

"Get out of the way! Gathering is prohibited here!" a soldier shouted.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man did not back down. He still stood on the platform and looked at the soldiers firmly: "We are citizens and have the right to express our demands! You can't treat us like this!"

However, the soldiers did not stop because of his protest. They continued to push the people, and some even started to pull the middle-aged man. In the chaos, the middle-aged man was forcibly pulled down from the platform by several soldiers. His clothes were torn and there were several bloodstains on his face.

"You are trampling on our rights!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd and the soldiers' commands.

Finally, with the efforts of the soldiers, the crowd was gradually dispersed. The square once again returned to its former tranquility, but the uneasiness and anger in the air did not dissipate for a long time. This incident undoubtedly intensified the people's dissatisfaction and distrust of the government, and made the situation in Fuso more delicate and complicated.

Behind the scenes, the Chinese Special Operations Department was watching everything closely. They knew that their goal had been initially achieved. As the public's trust in the government was shaken, they paved the way for the next action.

The catastrophe in Osaka was like a sudden storm that swept across Fuso, not only destroying countless homes but also triggering a series of chain reactions.

The Suzuki family, a once-glorious business giant, was not spared. As the family's property was confiscated, its factories across Kyoto closed down like dominoes, and tens of thousands of workers lost their jobs overnight, and their lives instantly fell into trouble.

On the streets of Kyoto, unemployed people can be seen wandering everywhere, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

The once bustling streets have now become desolate and deserted, with closed shops and few pedestrians. Only the occasional begging sounds and sighs break the silence.

With the outbreak of war, the prices of food and daily necessities soared like wild horses.

For those who have lost their jobs, life has become unsustainable. In order to survive, they have to queue up in long lines and wait for meager relief food, but often they can only get disappointment and hunger in return.

During this turbulent time, some people began to take advantage of the situation to stir up public sentiment. They used the rumors of the emperor's death in the tabloids as an outlet for the public's anger, pointing the finger at the government, accusing it of incompetence and corruption.

These remarks spread quickly among the people like wildfire, igniting the long-suppressed anger in their hearts.

"We can't go on like this! The government must give us an explanation!" A middle-aged man stood in the crowd, his fist raised high, his voice trembling with anger.

"Yes! We want to survive! We want to work!" The shouts from the crowd rose one after another, and the emotions became more and more excited.

In this atmosphere, a large number of people began to organize themselves, holding high various flags with slogans such as "demand justice" and "hunger is unbearable", forming a large-scale parade. The team included men, women, old and young.

"We want to see the cabinet ministers! We want justice!" The slogans of the marchers were in unison, resounding like thunder through the streets of Kyoto. They marched forward, unstoppable, and finally blocked the door of the cabinet.

In front of the cabinet door, the guards were on high alert. They tried to stop the parade from approaching, but they seemed powerless in the face of the surging crowd.

"Please calm down! Don't be impulsive!" an officer shouted, trying to calm the people's anger.

However, the anger was like a flood that could not be stopped. The people shouted slogans and waved flags, and their emotions were extremely excited.

"We want survival! We want the truth!" The shouts of the marchers were deafening, as if they were going to shatter the door of the cabinet.

This large-scale march is not only a protest against the government, but also a reflection of the people's desire for a peaceful and stable life.

However, in this turbulent era, whether they can achieve their wish remains to be seen.

In the cabinet meeting room, government officials all looked solemn and busy.

They paced back and forth, their phones rang one after another, and every new piece of news made them feel stressed. The sound of the people's demonstrations outside the window was getting louder and louder. Officials knew that in this sensitive period, any inappropriate move could cause greater social unrest.

"We must find a solution as soon as possible and cannot let the situation continue to deteriorate." Heart.

“However, there are growing calls from the public for the emperor to appear in person to prove that he is in good health. How should we respond?” a minister asked worriedly.

"Yes, the emperor's position in the hearts of the people is irreplaceable. If his health really has problems, it will be a major blow to the stability of the country," added another minister.

The officials looked at each other, feeling that the situation was extremely difficult.

They dare not take tough measures to suppress the people's protests, because that will only make the situation more tense. They must find a way to appease the people and maintain national stability.
