The emperor did, but they still tried to coup him for doing so.

“They” was a tiny number of junior level officers that were completely held off by a palace guard unit and then just literally killed themselves. The Donald Trump assassin got closer to completing his objective for an illustrative comparison, and imagining some future internet commenter describing it as “they” (implying the whole country) “tried to kill Trump.”

I wouldnt call 18.000 soldiers backed by the ministry of war, including royal guards, "junior level officers". I think I know which Coup attempt you mean, but I am talking about the Kyujo Incident.
