Chapter 798
During the period when the three major shogunate governments were in power, there were many Zen emperors in Dongying. There was no other reason. The emperor himself felt too useless and could not bear the humiliation.

The most typical of these is Emperor Gomizuo giving the throne to Emperor Meisho.

Among the three major shogunates in the Edo period, the Tokugawa shogunate was the most powerful. After Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan, the monitoring of the royal family became more stringent, so that even the emperor's religious power was withdrawn.

The emperor's salary was low. In the 17th year of Emperor Gomizuo's accession to the throne, in order to solve the serious shortage of court expenses, the emperor gave dozens of monks to Daitokuji Temple and Myoshinji Temple in Kyoto without consulting the shogun in advance. Wear purple clothes in exchange for a large amount of donations from the temple to the court.

The third generation general, Tokugawa Iemitsu, was very angry when he learned about it, so he brought out the "laws" to reprimand the emperor, judged that the emperor's edict was invalid, and took back the purple clothes that the monks of Dade Temple and Miaoshin Temple had obtained. Losing all face, Tokugawa Iemitsu was also dissatisfied with the emperor.

Two years later (in [-]), Tokugawa Iemitsu went to Kyoto to make a pilgrimage to the emperor in accordance with the regulations, but because of the gap between the previous "Purple Clothes Incident" and the emperor, he did not intend to go to Beijing to perform his duties.

At the same time, in order to achieve the purpose of humiliating the emperor and the imperial court, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not choose an official official when choosing a replacement, but sent his wet nurse Saito Fuku as an emissary to meet the emperor.

After the news reached Kyoto, the imperial court was shocked, because according to the etiquette of the imperial court, only officials with more than four (four ranks) worshiped can go to the hall to meet the emperor, but the shogunate even sent an unofficial wet nurse as an envoy. It is simply a great humiliation to the court.

What's more, Saito Fuku is also the daughter of the guilty minister Saito Toshizo (a general of the traitor Akechi Mitsuhide), whose identity made the court extremely embarrassed.

However, unable to reject the actions of the shogunate, the emperor could only bestow the official titles of the three Fukuo Saito against his will, calling her "Mrs.

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

Not only that, but during the official pilgrimage, Kasuga Bureau had an arrogant attitude towards the emperor and courtiers. Not only did he repeatedly praise his master, but he also sneered at the questioning of the ministers of the Manchu court.

Under the successive blows of the "Purple Clothes 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 a cowardly emperor, the only option he had was to abdicate.

So on November [-] of the same year, without prior notice to the shogunate, Emperor Gomizuo ceded the throne to his five-year-old daughter, Prince Kyoko, also known as Emperor Meisho.

Emperor Meisho was born in 15, reigned for 20 years, and was only [-] years old when he abdicated.

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

"My lord feels that the emperor's family is really pitiful, so... my lord wants to go and express my condolences. I wonder if you can arrange it?" Liu Hongjian said without reason, stroking his chin with his right hand.

As a former dick boy, when he was in college, he watched many Japanese action movies. Even today, he still has a lot of indescribable small videos in his Huawei phone.

But at that time, due to economic conditions, Liu Hongjian had never even been to Dongying, let alone making friends with Dongying girls.

Empress, hey, I have to go and have a look.

"Ah? My lord... But without the permission of the shogunate, we can't meet the emperor!" Zuoemon was a little surprised, maybe Liu Hongjian's idea was too abrupt.

Where is this? Didn't you just arrive in Dongying?Why are you going to see the Emperor?
Besides, the emperor is the least powerful party in Dongying. Since you want to do business in Dongying, you should naturally find someone with strength. Even if you don’t want to find the Tokugawa family, you should find other forces with similar strength!

Oh... Could it be that the prince is thinking... Zaemon seems to understand a little bit after thinking about it, but... that is the emperor!And she is the princess of the Tokugawa family, how dare the prince?

"Since the emperor is the lord of a country, he is bullied by the shogunate. This is simply the anger of the heavens, the injustice of the heavens..." Liu Hongjian seemed to be talking about what was on his mind, and said forcefully.

"Intuition! You Zaemon have been in Dongpu for so many years, can't you even do such trivial things?

Officials of the Ming Dynasty like money, don't the officials of the shogunate not?You, you need to be smarter!
What is the most precious thing in this world?Is 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 helps the royal family at this time, will they take power in the future, would you be ashamed not to reciprocate? "Liu Hongjian covered up his dirty thoughts while teaching earnestly.

Zuoemon was also sincere, and he felt ashamed because he secretly talked about Liu Hongjian, that's right, the prince worked hard for everything in the Ming Dynasty, so how could he be obsessed with it?
"This... this subordinate will take people to Edo tomorrow, and when we have any news, we will inform you, the prince." Zuoemon said honestly.

If he went to meet the emperor as an ordinary businessman of Ming Dynasty, and spent a little more money on those greedy officials of the Tokugawa family, it would not be a big problem.

But Zuoemon couldn't see through Liu Hongjian's thoughts, did the prince really just want to help the emperor escape from the sea of ​​suffering?
But why is the prince so confident?Does he know how powerful the Tokugawa family is?
"This is a 20 taels of silver note. It belongs to Fuming Bank. There are branch offices in Nagasaki and Edo that can be cashed in cash at any time. You can take it and use it first. If it is not enough, ask the king for it."

Liu Hongjian took out a silver note from his waist, flicked it and placed it on the table beside Zaemon.

He really didn't just want to help the emperor, in fact, the second fool would do things that are beyond his power!

The Tokugawa family wanted to be Cao Cao, and so did Liu Hongjian. To be precise, he didn't care, it was Daming who wanted it.

In fact, Liu Hongjian was not interested in the so-called Dahe nation. This white-eyed wolf who had brought countless suffering and humiliation to the Chinese descendants once made Liu Hongjian disgusted for a while.

But the plan has to be done step by step. Moreover, there is only one emperor. The first step is to find a way to send a letter to the emperor first, so that the wimpy emperor knows and believes that in Nagasaki not far away, there is a child who is pregnant with a child. The rich man in his heart wants to help him escape the sea of ​​suffering.

"My lord is a subordinate. Although Zaemon has no official position, he still has savings for his brother in Nagasaki for many years. When there is a letter, his subordinates must inform the lord as soon as possible." The ticket was pushed back again and said very sincerely.

"Bullshit, doing things for this king can make you bleed, take it, I have plenty of money." Liu Hongjian said dissatisfied how could the things given out be taken back.

Seeing Liu Hongjian's displeasure, Zuoweimen had no choice but to accept it.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Dongying has a large silver mine with considerable reserves and high grade. Do you know where this silver mine is?" Liu Hongjian slapped his head and suddenly thought of another important event, and said immediately.
