Chapter 796: This King Wants to Send Charcoal

During the reign of the three shogunates, Emperor Toei was full of Zen thrones, for no other reason, and the emperor himself felt that he was too embarrassed to be humiliated and gave the throne to his young children at a young age.

And the most typical of these is the Zen throne of Emperor Gomizuo to Emperor Akisho.

Of the three shogunates of the Edo period, the Tokugawa shogunate was the most powerful, and after Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Toei, the monitoring of the imperial family became more severe, so much so that the emperor was withdrawn from religious power.

In the 17th year of Emperor Go-Mizuo's accession to the throne, in order to solve the dilemma of a serious shortage of resources for the imperial court, the emperor gave dozens of monks of Daitokuji Temple and Myoshinji Temple in Kyoto to wear purple clothes without consulting the shogun in advance, in exchange for a large donation from the temple to the imperial court.

The third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, was very angry when he learned about it, so he moved out of the "Hodo" to reprimand the emperor, ruled that the emperor's edict was invalid, and took back the purple clothes that the monks of Daitokuji Temple and Myoshinji Temple had obtained.

Two years later (1629), Tokugawa Iemitsu was required to go to Kyoto to make a pilgrimage to the emperor, but due to the estrangement between the previous "Purple Cloth Incident" and the emperor, he did not plan to go to Beijing to perform his duties.

At the same time, in order to achieve the goal of humiliating the emperor and the imperial court, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not choose a subordinate with an official position when choosing a replacement, but sent his nurse Saito Fukuku as an envoy to meet the emperor.

When the news reached Kyoto, the imperial court was shocked, because according to the etiquette of the imperial court, only officials who worshiped four or more (four ranks) could go to the palace to meet the emperor, but the shogunate actually sent an unofficial nurse as an envoy to the audience, which was a great humiliation to the imperial court.

What's more, Saito Fukuku is also the daughter of the criminal minister Saito Toshizo (the general of the traitor Akechi Mitsuhide), and his identity is extremely embarrassing to the imperial court.

However, unable to refuse the shogunate's actions, the emperor had no choice but to give Saito Fukusho the official title of "Lady Kasuga Bureau" against his will, thus qualifying her for an audience.

However, Mrs. Kasuga was not impressed by the "grace" of the imperial court, and did not show any gratitude to the emperor at all.

Not only that, but during the official Hajj, Kasuga was arrogant towards the emperor and courtiers, not only repeatedly praising his master, but also scoffing at the questioning of the Manchu ministers, showing that he did not take the imperial court seriously, which made the emperor embarrassed and angry.

Under the repeated blows of the "Purple Cloth Incident" and the "Kasuga Bureau Visit" incident, since the humiliated emperor did not dare to do anything to the shogunate, but did not want to continue to be the emperor of the nest, the only choice was to abdicate.

On November 8 of the same year, Emperor Gomizuo relinquished the throne to his five-year-old daughter, Prince Kokonai, also known as Emperor Akisho, without prior notice to the shogunate.

Born in 1624, Emperor Meisho reigned for 15 years and was only 20 years old when he abdicated.

"Yes, my lord, Emperor Mingzheng is indeed a woman." Saemon didn't know why Liu Hongjian asked about the emperor's family affairs, but seeing that Liu Hongjian was very interested, he didn't dare to ask more.

"The king thinks that the emperor's family is really pitiful, so he ...... This king wants to go and pay a visit, I wonder if you can arrange it? Liu Hongjian stroked his chin with his right hand and said for no reason.

As a former dick man, when he was in college in the later world, he didn't browse Dongying's action movies, and to this day, he still has a lot of indescribable small videos in his Huawei hand.

It's just that at that time, due to economic conditions, Liu Hong gradually never even went to Dongying, let alone made friends with Dongying's sisters.

The Female Emperor, hehe, I have to take a look.

"Huh? Lord, you ...... But without the permission of the shogunate, we can't meet the emperor! Saemon was a little surprised, perhaps Liu Hongji's idea was too abrupt.

Where is this, haven't you just arrived in Dongying? Why do you want to go to the emperor?

Besides, the emperor is the least powerful party in Toei, since you want to do business in Toei, you should naturally find someone with strength, even if you don't look for the Tokugawa family, you should also find other forces with similar strength!

Oh...... Could it be that the prince wants to ...... Saemon seems to have understood a little, but ...... That's the Emperor! And she is also the princess of the Tokugawa family, how dare the prince?

"The emperor is the lord of a country, but he was bullied by the shogunate, this is simply the anger of heaven and the resentment of people, the intolerance of heaven, and the ...... of heaven" Liu Hongjian seemed to be said to be in his heart, and he used strong words to reason.

"Ahh You, Saemon, have been in Toei for so many years, can't you even do such a trivial matter?

The officials of the Ming Dynasty liked money, didn't the officials of the shogunate like it? You've got to keep your mind alive!

What is the most precious thing in this world? The icing on the cake? No! It's a sigh in the snow!

The emperor is now being bullied by the shogunate, if this king gives the imperial family help at this time, and when they take power in the future, is it too embarrassing not to repay a thing or two? Liu Hong gradually taught and covered up his dirty thoughts.

Saemon is also sincere, and he is ashamed of himself secretly talking about Liu Hong, yes, the prince works hard for the Ming Dynasty, how can he be addicted to this?

"This ...... My subordinates will take someone to Edo tomorrow and inform the prince when there is news. Saemon said honestly.

If you go to the emperor as an ordinary Ming merchant and spend a little more money to get some money on those greedy Tokugawa officials, it is not a big problem.

But Saemon couldn't see through Liu Hongji's thoughts, was the prince really just to help the emperor get out of the sea of suffering?

It's just that why is the prince so confident? Does he know how powerful the Tokugawa family is?

"This is 200,000 taels of silver tickets, Fuming money, there are branches in Nagasaki and Edo that can be redeemed at any time in cash, you can take it and use it first, if it is not enough, then come and ask the king for it."

Liu Hong gradually took out a silver ticket from his waist and flicked it on the table next to Saemon.

He really didn't just want to help the emperor, in fact, two fools would do thankless things!

The Tokugawa family wanted to be Cao Cao, and he Liu Hongjian also wanted to, to be exact, he didn't care about himself, it was the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Liu Hongjian was not interested in the so-called Yamato nation, this white-eyed wolf who had brought countless hardships and humiliations to the descendants of China, once made Liu Honggradually disgusted.

But the plan had to be done step by step, and there was only one emperor, and the first step was to send a letter to the emperor first, so that the emperor knew and believed that there was a rich man with a childlike heart who wanted to help him out of the sea of misery.

"The prince is tormented by his subordinates, although Saemon has no official or position, but he still has savings for many years of trading for his brother in Nagasaki, and when he has a letter, his subordinates must notify the prince as soon as possible." Saemon pushed the silver ticket back again, and said very sincerely.

", doing things for this king can still make you bleed, take it, the silver this king has." How can the things sent out be taken back, Liu Hong said dissatisfied.

Saemon saw that Liu Hong was gradually displeased, so he had to accept it.

"Oh yes, this king heard that there is a large silver mine with considerable reserves and extremely high grade in Dongying, do you know where this silver mine is?" Liu Hong gradually patted his head and suddenly thought of a big event, and then said.
