Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 313 Wants to be the emperor of Daming as a dog (please subscribe!)

Zhu Kezang believes that the Wa Kingdom has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times. Although it was occupied by barbarians, the time is ripe now, and it is time to recover the Wa Kingdom!
It happened that there was a truce with the Qing Dynasty, and there was still a group of Manchurians who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty to be driven. Use them as cannon fodder, how wonderful!
Wa country, peace capital.

Emperor Lingyuan, Shiren, knelt on the tatami and looked at the small half bowl of rice and Xiaocho pickles on the Zhuofu table in front of him, his face was a bit ugly.

"Anda-jun, although I uphold myself with diligence, I can still have a little more food."

Chaoren said tactfully.

In fact, his requirements are not high, as long as there is a bowl of rice, a small fish, and a bowl of flavor-enhancing soup in every meal, he is already satisfied.

Of course, it would be even better if it is paired with some delicate after-dinner snacks.

But look at this poor thing in front of you, feed the cat?

He can guarantee that even the dogs raised by the Tokugawa family eat more and better than him!

"His Majesty the Emperor, it's not His Majesty Bodai, the old minister, but the food department (Imperial Dining Room) has no money to maintain expenses. If His Majesty doesn't allocate funds, in a few days, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat rice balls."

The official of the meal class bent down and explained with a bitter face.

He hadn't received his salary for two months, and if it wasn't for the fact that the royal family's salary was not bad, he would have run away long ago.

Now it's Shiren's turn to be dumbfounded. I didn't expect that the Emperor of the Great Japanese Kingdom would be reduced to such a point!
I am so angry!
Only then did he remember that the Tokugawa family hadn't given him money to run the court last month!
Isn't this killing him? He can live on this little money!

Is it going to come to the point where the palace maids sell themselves to make ends meet again?

It is well known that the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom has no real power, but the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom is not the only head of state without real power, but his life is so miserable that it is difficult to find a second one who can't even eat enough.

In fact, Emperor Lingyuan's understanding of benevolence is considered good.

Relying on several generations of continuous currying favor with the Tokugawa family, the Tokugawa family issued the "Public Laws".

It is stipulated that the shogun needs to give an annual donation of about [-] koku to the emperor every year.

Of course, the rule is to give [-] yuan, but the Tokugawa family actually gave only [-] yuan.

Even so, compared to those of his predecessors who had to rely on court ladies to sell themselves to maintain their expenses, it was already many times better.

But don't think how much these [-] stones are. Even the weakest daimyo's income is much higher than that of the emperor.

And the [-] stones were not for the emperor alone.

This also includes the daily expenses of the palace, the distribution of officials' salaries, and the maintenance and repair of the palace, plus they are pulled out to show off if there is nothing to do.

In this way, the [-] stones are simply not enough.

Therefore, if the Emperor of Japan wanted not to be starved to death, he had to beg from the big names, and with the donations of the monks, he could barely maintain his life.

Who would have thought that the shogunate would suddenly cut off his confession now!
Recently, he has been honestly being his mascot, and he hasn't done anything!

Shiren didn't want to become the first emperor to be starved to death in the history of the Japanese kingdom, so he finished the chicken food in front of him with a half-empty stomach, and found the monk Haikong who had a good relationship with him.

"Fangzhu, has there been any major incidents in Wa Kingdom recently?"

"To tell you the truth, the General's Mansion has not provided any donations to the imperial court for nearly two months, and now the imperial court is unsustainable."

Naturally, Shiren didn't dare to go directly to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi to ask him why he didn't pay the living expenses, so he could only inquire about some news from Monk Kaikong.

First of all, Monk Haikong is well-informed, and he heard a lot of news about the Wa Kingdom from here.

Another meaning is that I want to ask for some money from Monk Haikong to save the emergency.

But this kind of thing can't be said clearly. Although it is a fact that everyone knows that the Emperor has no money, he still wants to save face.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk heard that something happened in the Satsuma domain a few days ago. The Satsuma domain lord seems to have defected to the Ming Dynasty, and the Satsuma domain has now formed an army called the Wa Guoxie Congjun Army. I heard that there are Ming people behind."

"The Satsuma Domain has shown unprecedented desire for the future. Now the General's Mansion is summoning all the famous people to conquer the Satsuma Domain. It must be because of this that His Majesty's donation has been delayed."

Monk Haikong said calmly.

"Ming people?"

Didn't Ming Dynasty perish long ago?

Shiren showed surprise on his face. As a mascot, he really knows little about the big facts of the outside world.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the former Ming Dynasty has not only reappeared, but has also seized a large area of ​​land from the Da Qing, and has drawn rivers to rule with the Da Qing."

Hearing this news, Shiren was taken aback for a moment and then fell into deep thought.

Ming dynasty?

Satsuma domain?
He has also studied, and he remembers that the emperors of Ming Dynasty seem to have a good face, and they like to recognize younger brothers everywhere.

Now that Daming is powerful, the Tokugawa family heard that this meant that they were going to be enemies with Daming again!
Then, can he become Daming's younger brother and use the power of Daming to overthrow the shogunate and realize his dream of ruling the Wa Kingdom?

Although being someone's younger brother may lose his status as the Emperor of Japan, but he can be a mascot, so what can be done as a younger brother.

The point is, he really doesn't want to go hungry anymore!
And now the Satsuma clan belongs to the Ming camp, and to show his sincerity at that time, he can marry the Satsuma clan.

Although he already has a queen now, as long as he can help him regain the right to rule and realize the dream of being king in the Wa Kingdom and having enough to eat every day, he won't even blink his eyes when he is abolished and established again!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this matter, Chaoren couldn't help showing a smug smile on his disheveled face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"what?"

Shiren came back to his senses.

"I suddenly remembered that there were important matters to be dealt with by the court, and I was a little distracted for a while."

This reason made Haikong, who had always maintained his image as an eminent monk, almost lose his defense.

One of the mascots was still on court business, but just took the opportunity to get out of here, so as not to hurt his wallet again.

After all, it is not easy for a monk to make alms.

"Since that's the case, the poor monk can't bother His Majesty anymore." Monk Haikong got up and said.

Shiren nodded and watched Monk Haikong leave.

Although the Haikong monk has a pretty good relationship with him, he will naturally not talk to him about issues related to his plans to rule the world.

Sending off Monk Haikong, just when Shiren wanted to discuss with his confidants how to become Daming's dog, he suddenly remembered the reason why he asked Monk Haikong to come here...

But now there is no trace of Monk Haikong, Chaoren wants to cry but has no tears.

Dead monk, why don't you give me some time to go before you leave!
"I hate it!"

"I'm hungry!"
