Chapter 800 Deja Vu
"Your Majesty, does this need a reason?" Liu Hongjian made a very surprised expression.

"Thanks to the patronage of your people, my business can be maintained. I heard that those sons of bitches in the shogunate were so harsh on you, so I thought that while you were fighting for injustice, I hope you can show some kindness.

If you need it, I will donate [-] yuan to the palace every month in the future. "

Liu Hongjian gritted his teeth when he talked about the shogunate, which greatly benefited the Emperor Guangming. Thinking of the wheat bran he had eaten and the insults he had suffered in the past few years, the 16-year-old Emperor almost turned red in his eyes.

No wonder, in the eyes of ordinary people in Japan, he is a superior existence, and how many people know that as the emperor, his food is not much different from that of ordinary people in Japan.

Even if these things are told to outsiders, who will believe them?
It was so easy to find a foreigner like Liu Hongjian who understood his pain, and Emperor Guangming seemed to have found a confidant all of a sudden.

"God Amaterasu will protect you. My father and Xingzi will be very happy when they find out. I will inform Shikibushi tomorrow and make you head carpenter!" Emperor Guangming touched his eyelids, seeming very excited.

With [-] yuan a month, he would no longer have to eat porridge, and by the way, his father and the servants in the palace could improve their poor living conditions.

It's just that Liu Hongjian frowned upon hearing this, what the hell?carpenter?What a carpenter!
10 taels of silver could buy a magistrate in Daming a few years ago, and you gave me the whole carpenter's head?
"My lord, this carpenter is not a carpenter of Ming Dynasty, but the chief official responsible for the repairs of the palaces and palaces, and he is from four officials." Zuo Weimen saw Liu Hongjian's expression, worried that there would be a misunderstanding, and immediately explained.

The official positions in Dongying are naturally different from those in Ming Dynasty, but they also refer to the Tang system, from four officials to fourth-rank officials, and the chief official is the head of the department.

The position of a fourth-rank official is not high, but it also meets the minimum requirements for seeing the emperor, and it is a job in charge of palace repairs. The emperor has eaten chaff, so where can he have money to repair it? That's all.

"Then I will thank Your Majesty." Liu Hongjian still felt that this official thief was very unpleasant, and he didn't even call himself a minister.

Just kidding, the blood of Daming is flowing in his body, so naturally he won't mix with the Laoshizi Dongying people, but fortunately, Emperor Guangming is young and doesn't care much about these things.

Emperor Guangming was in a very good mood after receiving the silver ticket, and even invited Liu Hongjian to watch it in the palace.

So Emperor Komitsu was in front, followed by Liu Hongjian, Tagawa Nanachiemon, and a few old servants who could be Liu Hongjian's uncle, and walked around the extremely shabby palace.

The imperial palace in Kyoto is not big, except for a few dilapidated palaces, there is a back garden with no flowers. There are only fifty servants in the entire palace, and all of them are disheveled.

It's just that Emperor Guangming was in high spirits today, and while dragging Liu Hongjian around, he also acted as a tour guide and told him the stories behind these buildings.

Going around from the back garden is a two-story wooden attic. Under the attic is a woman in a lavender kimono. She is bending over to water the flowers and plants beside the attic, and there are two maids waiting on her side.

Liu Hongjian cast an inquiring expression on Emperor Guangming.

"My lord, that's my imperial sister, Prince Xingzi." Emperor Guangming walked up to greet his sister after speaking.

Benshanjun is the Japanese name Liu Hongjian gave himself. The full name is Benshan 56, which sounds quite flamboyant.

Liu Hongjian followed Shao Ren and walked up without seeing anyone else. Prince Xingzi turned his head when he heard the sound, but saw that his fair face had not been put on any makeup, and his hair was not coiled like a Ming woman. Instead, it reached softly on the shoulders.

Xingzi just nodded slightly at Emperor Guangming, and looked at Liu Hongjian as if he was very puzzled. After all, outsiders rarely came in and out of this palace, and the shogunate would not allow anyone except courtiers to come in.

Shaoren immediately introduced Liu Hongjian's great writing to his sister. After hearing this, Xingzi also showed joy on his face. He nodded and smiled at Liu Hongjian.

Until noon, Emperor Guangming took the initiative to stay with Liu Hongjian for dinner, but when the dishes were served, Liu Hongjian's face turned green.

Two plates of unknown green vegetable leaves, one plate of sushi-like rice balls made of rice, wrapped in vegetable leaves, and a small pot of soup that is sticky and thick, which is actually vegetable leaves...

Deja vu, deja vu...

Looking at the luscious green dishes on the table, Liu Hongjian couldn't help thinking of the first time he entered the palace to eat Uncle Chongzhen's big meal. At that time, Uncle Chongzhen didn't see any meat.

What Liu Hongjian didn't know was that it was Emperor Guangming who ordered the servants to add extra meals. According to how he usually could eat three dishes and one soup.

Since the money Liu Hongjian gave to Emperor Guangming had not yet been paid by anyone, let alone he was not willing to part with it, the servants thought of a way to make three dishes, one soup and rice balls from a vegetable.

All geniuses!It's pitiful to be an emperor and do this!

Liu Hongjian has been on his way for the past few days. He originally wanted to have a good meal at the emperor's place, but he never thought that he would be treated like this.

But he didn't show a disappointed expression, he saw a lot of poor people, so this guy took out a whole roasted golden Kobe beef leg from the ring under the pretext of being respectful.

"My God! Ben Shanjun, where did you get the beef!" Emperor Guangming's eyes straightened.

Not to mention how many days he hasn't eaten beef, the visual impact of such a whole beef leg is not small, and Liu Hongjian is like a conjurer, he can get charcoal roasted beef leg in the bathroom, this How could Shao Ren not be shocked.

"Your Majesty, there is a story when there is meat and wine, but I brought the meat, where is the wine?" Liu Hongjian shook the mallet-like beef leg in front of the little emperor, and said generously.

Little did Shaoren know that Liu Hongjian was joking, but he still sent his servants to fetch a jug of the only remaining sake in the palace.

With sake at the side, Liu Hongjian skillfully cut the beef. The two knelt down at the low table and began to have a drink. The poor translator Zaemon sat on the side, and could only look at the meat and sigh.

"My lord, my father hasn't eaten beef for many days, and I want to send some of this beef to my father."

The beef leg weighed more than ten catties. Emperor Guangming thought that the two of them could not finish eating, so he pointed at the cut beef.

"It's really rare for Your Majesty to have such filial piety. It should be, it should be, Prince Xingzinei should also send some." Liu Hongjian said while cutting.

He said in his heart that this young man is not bad, and he knows how to send something delicious to his father, but...you can't favor one person over another, hasn't your sister not eaten meat for a long time?
"What Ben Shanjun said is right, I was negligent, so let's send some to Huangjie Zhaozi!" Shao Ren said to the servant behind him again.

WTF?Why is there another Zhaozi?

 Thanks to book friends Mengsk, Drunken Lights and Axe, and Lone Star Yin for the 100 taels.
