The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Wa country, peace capital.

Emperor Higashiyama sat on his knees on the tatami and looked at the small half bowl of rice and Xiaodie pickles placed on the table in front of him, his expression 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 pitiful thing in front of you, do you want to feed the chickens?

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

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it is not that the old minister is underestimating your Majesty, but the Imperial Kitchen Room has no funds to maintain expenses. If Your Majesty does not allocate funds, in a few days, I am afraid that even the rice balls will not be available."

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 was Chaohito's turn to be dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the mighty Emperor of Japan would be reduced to such a low state!

It’s so irritating!

Only then did he remember that the Tokugawa family hadn't given him money to run the court last month!

Isn’t this going to cost him his life!

He just depends on this little money to live!

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, Higashiyama Emperor Chaohito is considered good.

Relying on constant flattery to the Tokugawa family, the Tokugawa family issued the "Public Family Laws".

It is stipulated that the shogun must make an annual donation of about 10 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 that 3 koku is much. Even the most cowardly daimyo's income is much higher than that of the emperor.

And these 3 stones are 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!

Chao Ren did not want to become the first emperor to starve to death in the history of Japan, so he finished the chicken food in front of him in a few mouthfuls. With a half-empty stomach, he 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, Asahito didn't dare to go directly to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and ask him why he didn't give him living expenses, so he could only get some information from the monk Kaikora.

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 get some money from Monk Haikong to help me out.

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, I heard that the Satsuma Domain had some changes a few days ago. The lord of the Satsuma Domain is now Shimazu Ayaka, Shimazu Tsunaki's daughter. The Satsuma Domain has also formed an army called the Japanese National Army. I heard that the Satsuma Domain has now formed an army called the Japanese National Army. There are people from the Ming Dynasty behind."

"Now the General's Office 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 the Ming Dynasty perish long ago?Chaoren looked surprised. As a mascot, he really knew very little about the outside world.

"Yes, your majesty, the Ming Dynasty of the past has not only reappeared, but has also seized large areas of land from the Qing Dynasty."

Upon hearing the news, Chaoren was stunned for a moment and then fell into deep thought.

Daming~

Satsuma Domain~

He remembered that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a good reputation and liked to recognize their younger brothers everywhere.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, the Tokugawa family hears this and means that they will become enemies of the Ming Dynasty again!So can he become the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty and then use the power of the Ming Dynasty to overthrow the rule of the shogunate and realize his dream of conquering the Japanese country?

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!

Moreover, the Satsuma Domain now belongs to the Ming Dynasty camp, and the head of the Satsuma Domain is still a woman!At that time, to show his sincerity, he can directly make Na Shimazu Ayaka the queen!

Although he already has a queen, as long as he can help him regain the right to rule, realize his dream of ruling the Japanese country, and having enough to eat every day, he will not even look at it after he is deposed!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Chaoren couldn't help but reveal a lewd smile on his disheveled face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"what?"

Chaoren came 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.

A mascot also handles important court matters... but just takes this opportunity to leave the place so as not to hurt his wallet again.

After all, it’s not easy for a monk to scrape some money.

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

Chaoren 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.

After sending Monk Haikong away, just when Chaoren wanted to discuss with his confidants how to become the Ming Dynasty's dog, he suddenly remembered the reason why he came here to find Monk Haikong...

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!"
