On this occasion, Yukio OZAKI made a well-known address calling for the impeachment of Prime Minister Katsura, saying, 'when he and his fellows open their mouths, they speak about loyalty to the Emperor and patriotism as if they had a monopoly on these qualities,... but I suspect they use the imperial throne as a bulwark to defend themselves from attack by their political opponents, and use imperial edicts (Shochoku) as political bullets with which to topple their opponents.'
このときの「彼らは常に口を開けば、直ちに忠愛を唱へ、恰も忠君愛国の一手専売の如く唱へておりますが—（中略）—玉座を以て胸壁となし、詔勅を以て弾丸に代へて政敵を倒さんとするものではないか」のフレーズで知られる尾崎行雄の桂首相弾劾演説は有名である。
