Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Tokugawa Koshin turned a deaf ear to Wei Xiaobao's words, his heart filled with doubts and anxiety.

He turned to Ling Zhao anxiously, his voice revealing deep uneasiness: "What did you say just now? You said my elder brother is in the mountain? How is that possible? Did you capture my elder brother as well? This is ridiculous! What kind of person is my elder brother? He is the general of Japan and the commander of the Tokugawa shogunate. He has an extremely noble status. How can you guys capture him so easily?"

Tokugawa Koshin stared at Ling Zhao, trying to find a trace of lies on her face. However, Ling Zhao remained calm, as if she was used to his questioning.

Seeing this, Wei Xiaobao raised a mocking smile. He walked up to Tokugawa Koshin and said calmly, "Big turtle, it doesn't matter if you don't believe us. But I can tell you that you and your elder brother will meet soon."

Tokugawa Koshin's heart trembled, and he realized that the situation might be much worse than he had imagined. He struggled to break free, but his body was firmly controlled by the soldiers.

Wei Xiaobao no longer paid attention to Tokugawa Koshin's struggle and motioned Shuang'er to step forward.

Shuang'er acted quickly and accurately pressed the acupuncture points of Tokugawa Koshin, instantly sealing his martial arts. Tokugawa Koshin felt a powerful force disappear from his body, and he was surprised to find that he could no longer use his internal force.

Afterwards, Wei Xiaobao ordered several soldiers to tie up Tokugawa Koshin and prepare to send him to the camp halfway up the mountain.

On the way, Tokugawa Koshin's heart was filled with fear and anxiety. He kept thinking about the time he spent with his elder brother Tokugawa Koyasu, and those warm memories now became so far away.

When Tokugawa Koshin was brought to the camp halfway up the mountain, he saw his imprisoned brother Tokugawa Koyasu. The two looked at each other and were speechless for a while. Tokugawa Koshin's heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. He felt that he had failed his elder brother's trust and expectations.

Tokugawa Koyasu silently looked at his brother with complicated emotions in his eyes. He knew that all this was arranged by fate and that the two brothers were destined to face such a predicament.

"Brother, I am sorry for you. If it wasn't for revenge for my son, why would our Tokugawa Shogunate have to provoke Wei Xiaobao, a murderous villain!" Tokugawa Koshin's eyes were full of self-blame and regret. His hands were clenched tightly, as if he was trying to suppress the pain in his heart.

"Third brother, this is not your fault." Tokugawa Koyasu's tone revealed a bit of helplessness and tragedy. "We should only blame ourselves for making a wrong move. We sent troops to Ryukyu but provoked the Heaven and Earth Alliance. We sent Ling Zhao to China for marriage but she married Wei Xiaobao by chance. This destined us to have a life-and-death contest with the Heaven and Earth Federation."

Tokugawa Koyasu went on to say, "We three brothers have had a deep bond since childhood and have experienced many hardships together. Your second brother died in the Iwami Mountains, and now we ourselves have become prisoners. Now everything is over. But we are ashamed of the Tokugawa family and the great foundation created by our great grandfather Tokugawa Ieyasu."

At noon the next day, the pursuit troops led by Xiao You and Wei Xiaobao joined forces successfully. This moment marked the victory of the Edo Campaign and the decisive battle of Kyoto.

The victory in this battle ended the 76-year rule of the Tokugawa shogunate over Japan. For more than a century, the Tokugawa shogunate, with its strong military power and political skills, firmly controlled the fate of Japan. However, with the rise of resistance forces such as the Tenchi Alliance, all this has changed dramatically.

Under the leadership of Ling Zhao, Japan will return to the era of imperial rule. This is a new beginning, an era full of hope and opportunities. People are looking forward to a more prosperous and stable future for Japan under the new leadership.

Ten days later, in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, a solemn and dignified atmosphere enveloped the ancient palace.

The Imperial Palace, which had been sealed for more than a hundred years, finally reopened today. As the sun shines on the golden glazed tiles, the palace looks more solemn and mysterious, as if telling the past glory and vicissitudes of history.

Today is the coronation ceremony of Princess Ling Zhao. She will soon become the 113th Emperor of Japan, with the imperial title Ling Zhao.

On this special day, sixty-six daimyos from seven provinces and one area in Japan gathered in Kyoto to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne.

Some of these daimyo were from aristocratic families that had been passed down from generation to generation, and some were newly minted nobles who had emerged in recent years. They all wore gorgeous gowns and ornaments that symbolized their status to witness this historic moment.

Early in the morning, Princess Lingzhao was invited by the Taichang Temple's deity official to the altar to worship Amaterasu devoutly.

She wore a pure white sacrificial garment and a delicate flower crown on her head, and walked towards the altar step by step under the guidance of the deity official. Her face was solemn and dignified, and her heart was filled with awe and piety towards the gods.

After paying homage to Amaterasu, Princess Ling Zhao went to the temple to pay homage to Emperor Jimmu and her ancestors.

On the rooftop, she looked at the mountains and palaces in the distance, and a surge of passion surged in her heart. She knew that she had an important mission to contribute to the prosperity and stability of Japan.

At about ten o'clock, the coronation ceremony officially began.

Under the gaze of all the officials and daimyos, Princess Lingzhao slowly walked up to the throne and was crowned in the imperial robes. She was wearing a gorgeous imperial robe and a dazzling crown, and she looked majestic and solemn.

With the announcement by the ceremonial officer, she officially ascended the throne as the new emperor of Japan.

At this moment, the entire Kyoto Imperial Palace was in an uproar. All officials knelt down to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne. Daimyo also came forward to offer gifts and blessings to express their respect and support for the new emperor.

With the end of the coronation ceremony, Japan also ushered in a new era - the first year of Ling Zhao. This era means a new beginning and hope, and also represents the Japanese people's beautiful vision and expectation for the future.

At this special moment, a new atmosphere is also emerging in Japan.

Those once hostile daimyo have been wiped out, replaced by local noble families. These newly rising forces will inject new vitality and impetus into the prosperity and development of Japan.

At the same time, the ascension of Emperor Reishou also means a reshuffle of the political landscape of Japan. The new regime will bring new policies and measures, laying a solid foundation for the future development of Japan.

At this historic moment, the Japanese people, with hope and vision for the future, are jointly meeting new challenges and opportunities. They believe that under the leadership of Emperor Reishou, Japan will usher in a more glorious future.
