The palace is still the same palace, it is still in tatters, Liu Hong couldn't help frowning, but when he saw the queen of heaven, he suddenly realized.

I haven't seen you for a month, this guy ...... Eat fat.

Most people who are afraid of poverty will make this or that little mistake when they suddenly have money, such as stinginess, and then a penchant for meat, undoubtedly, the back tail of the body is out of shape.

After redeeming the silver, Hou Mizuo did not spend the money on repairing the palace, and even the robes on his body were still the same, he took out a sum of money for the servants to buy a lot of food, and then locked the rest in his small vault.

"I haven't seen you for many days, but your majesty's demeanor is still the same!" Liu Hong gradually bowed down and saluted, and smiled slightly.

Nanazaemon was the new daimyo in Shimane, and the interpreter he brought with him this time was Naoki Hirakawa, a young shabby samurai who gradually had extra respect for Liu Hong, but lacked due respect for the emperor.

Samurai, only respect the strong.

"This is again thanks to the offering of the carpenter, alas! People's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are not ancient! Gomizuo seems to be thinking of those shogunate, and the first half of the sentence is praising Liu Hongji, and the second half of the sentence is talking about the Tokugawa family and other daimyos.

"Has Your Majesty ever heard about the Tokugawa family?" Liu Hong gradually became very unimpressed with the official position of this carpenter, and he was humble and planned to explain his intentions.

"Although the Imperial Palace is guarded by the Tokugawa family, many ministers still obey me, so I naturally know about those things, but so what? The imperial court has no military power, let alone money, and the imperial court ...... Nothing can be done. ”

Speaking of which, Mizuo's face was very depressed, the imperial court has been elevated for almost a thousand years, and no matter how turbulent it is outside the palace, it has little to do with the emperor's family, because no one listens to the emperor at all.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be so depressed, I have a friend in Nagasaki who is also very sympathetic to your situation, and now that the situation is turbulent, he has taken advantage of the situation, intending to lead his troops to the king and restore your rule!" Liu Hong gradually stepped forward and whispered to the back of the water.

"Oh? Don't lie to me. Hou Mizuo was very surprised when he heard this, and then said vigilantly.

"Your Majesty, how is this possible? I was just a merchant, and my friend was also a merchant, and his shop was raided by the nearby daimyo, and he was forced to kill the daimyo out of desperation, and was forced to revolt in order to protect his property.

What good will it do me if I deceive you? Now that there are many battles around Kyoto, IMHO, the Imperial Palace is now in crisis. Liu Hongchuan explained very calmly.

"Carpenter, you're joking, no matter how messy it is outside, no daimyo will come to the palace to assassinate." After the tail of the water disdainful road.

"Hehe, I'm just out of kindness, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I'll not say it." Liu Hongjian was not angry, and smiled.

The more deliberately you say some things, the more the parties don't believe it, and Liu Hongjian is not in a hurry.

"Benshan-kun is here to worship the palace this time?" Hou Shuiwei didn't take Liu Hongji's words seriously, but said very much expectation.

Shameless! Stingy old miscellaneous hair! Liu Hongjian scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was pleasant, and while speaking, he took out a ticket worth more than 30,000 taels from his waist.

Hou Shuiwei really smiled, and ordered the servants to prepare a banquet, saying that he would treat Liu Hongjian well in the evening.

Liu Hongjian naturally didn't take Hou Shuiwei's hospitality seriously, he hadn't eaten anything delicious in Daming, and besides, the old emperor was not a generous person at first glance.

It's just that the matter hasn't been done yet, and Liu Hong gradually plans to settle it first.

The two chatted for a long time in the dilapidated hall, and in the evening, Mizuo really ordered someone to prepare a banquet, but this time Liu Hongjian finally saw the meat, not only that, Hou Mizuo also called his son Emperor Guangming and his daughter Emperor Mingzheng.

Dongying is more patriarchal than Daming, women are not qualified to eat with men in Dongying at all, and Hou Shuiwei doesn't know if it is to show his attention to Liu Hongji, or Daming's too much, and let Liu Hong gradually sit down with a smile.

Dongying is a separate meal system, unlike the Ming Dynasty, the meals are gathered around a table, and there are no outsiders at the banquet, except for Hirakawa Naoki as a translator, only the Hou Mizuo family.

The Bright Emperor Shaoren sat a little stiffly at the bottom of the back water, and then under the head was Liu Hongji, while Hirakawa Naoki could only kneel behind Liu Hongjian and Shaoren.

Opposite the two are the former Emperor Ming Zheng, the current prince Xingzi, and Xingzi's sister Prince Akiko, both of whom are about the same age as Liu Hongji, and seem to be a little surprised by Hou Mizuo's sudden arrangement, and kneeling meekly at the table in a kimono.

It is hard to imagine that there are three emperors sitting at the same time in such a humble palace, and in the entire hall, only Hou Shuiwei and Liu Hongjian may be more relaxed.

The former is because of the domineering spirit cultivated over the years, while the latter does not take the emperor or even Dongying in his eyes at all.

Liu Hongjian didn't even kneel down to eat like other Dongying people, he felt that it was too awkward, but sat cross-legged like an old monk.

Hou Shuiwei was not angry after getting the money, in his opinion, more than 30,000 silver was the biggest face, and Liu Hongjian was not from Dongying, so it was completely understandable that he didn't understand their etiquette.

After some staggering, Liu Hong gradually felt that it was time, and after glancing at Xingzi and Zhaozi again, he turned his gaze to Hou Shuiwei.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Emperor, I can't hide that my friend took Shimane a few days ago." After Liu Hong finished speaking, he took a sip of the sake on the table, waiting for the reaction of the two.

Sure enough, the father and son were very surprised when they looked at each other, Shimane's silver mine was an important pillar supporting the Tokugawa family, of course, the father and son would not be unaware of this.

At the same time, the little emperor was thinking about why Motoyama-kun told them the news, but Gomizuo obviously thought about the problem more thoroughly than his son.

"You guys are the ones who do the Tokugawa family!" He glanced at Liu Hongjian and said meaningfully.

"I don't know about this, Your Majesty, I'm just a businessman." Liu Hongjian naturally refused to admit it, and emphasized again and again.

"Hehe, it's okay if the Tokugawa family is in chaos, who called the Tokugawa family to pick the door like this!" After the water tail is noncommittal.

Liu Hong gradually wanted to laugh when he heard this, and dared to love the emperor's family's biggest dissatisfaction with the Tokugawa family, that is, the Tokugawa family controlled the money bags of the imperial palace, let them live in such a dilapidated palace, and drank porridge with chaff.

"I don't know why Benshanjun came here this time?" The little emperor didn't know what Liu Hongjian had talked about during the day, so he asked.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, Kyoto is no longer safe now, I think you should move Shimane, and the soldiers of the Tagawa-kun family will protect you." Liu Hongjian explained kindly.

"But Dongying has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and no daimyo will bring the war to the palace." Shao Ren also felt very strange, although this palace was dilapidated, after all, he grew up here, and he was not willing to leave.

Hou Shuiwei didn't say anything, he had already made his attitude clear during the day, and he didn't want to leave here, not because of nostalgia, but because he felt that it was unnecessary, he was planning to use the silver that Liu Hong gradually offered to recruit some people to repair the palace.

It's just that Liu Hong's next words directly dealt a dimensionality reduction blow to Hou Shuiwei.

"Your Majesty, the Tagawa family has seized the Iwami Silver Mine, and he intends to use the silver mined from the Silver Mine to first build you a larger and more befitting Great Palace.

Moreover, he once told me that this silver mine should belong to His Majesty the Emperor, and that the Daimyo should return to the Emperor when the world is peaceful, and that he will hand over this silver mine to Your Majesty to manage. Liu Hongji's words were very sincere.

At this time, the eyes of Hou Mizuo's father and son were all shocked, the Tagawa family? Hou Mizuo searched in his mind for a long time, and it seemed that he remembered who this Tagawa family was.

But is there such a good thing in the world? Is the consciousness of the Tagawa family really so high?

But then again, the daimyo everywhere respected the emperor because they knew that the emperor was just a high-ranking paper figure and had no use value, and the Tagawa family didn't seem to get any benefit from deceiving him in the past.

This made Hou Mizuo mutter.

One side has a safe living environment and a magnificent palace to live in, and maybe there is a real chance to get financial power in the future, while the other side is a miser and insults him from time to time.

It's just that......

"Why should I believe your words?" Hou Mizuo seems to be really interested, and at this time he speaks more and more.

"Go back to Your Majesty, this is just the kindness of the Tian Chuan family, as for whether you believe it or not, it's not up to me to decide, in fact, I plan to go back tomorrow." Liu Hong gradually knew that this old guy was moved, but the more he got to this point, Liu Hong gradually became more calm.

If the old guy is not a fool, he naturally knows how to choose, instead of eating dirt in this dilapidated palace, how can it be better to follow him, the daily output of Iwami Silver Mine is not low, follow Lao Tzu, let you count the money every day until your hands cramp.

Emperor Guangming looked at his father, he couldn't be sure about this, and he didn't count what he said, in the end, he still had to look at Hou Shuiwei.

Hou Shuiwei drank a glass of wine and seemed to have made up his mind, but his right hand grabbed a few beards and stroked them, and finally stared at Liu Hongji's eyes and said:

"Let me think about it for another night, it seems to be raining outside, why don't the carpenter rest in the palace tonight!"

PS: I just came back from a business trip, resume the update, and there will be updates later, and there will be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
