please make me king

Chapter 1 Naturally Anomalous
Zhang Shun was reborn, it's a pity that he was reborn at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he could neither play games online nor stay at home to watch dramas, this miserable life is simply too miserable.

His name in this life was Zhang Shun, and he felt a little depressed, wondering if he should call himself "Langli Baitiao"?

What's even more tragic is that in his previous life, he was an otaku who couldn't stand on his shoulders or lift his hands.After traveling to this life, he is even more lazy, unable to endure hardship, and is poor and particular.

As the soul of a modern person, he is afraid that he will be wiped out by the tragic environment of ancient times.Therefore, he must drink boiled water to drink, eat fresh food to eat, walk without donkeys and horses to travel far, and take a rest after a little hard work.In vain, he is eight feet tall and has a chubby body. He usually just practices some guns and sticks, and does some fishing activities in the water. He is ridiculed by the villagers as a "fake prince".

In fact, as a modern person, seeing his parents working hard in this life all day long, he is not without filial piety.Also tried to do some farm work.As the saying goes: "There are mountains to back the mountains, and no mountains to bear alone." If you really have support, you can't bear the hardships of the busy farming.

However, fortunately, his father in this life is strong and healthy. Because his mother died young, he doted on him very much, and he couldn't be cruel to make his son suffer.Originally, the old father wanted to save some money for him to study in a private school or use it as capital to start some small businesses, but he never thought that "there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good fortune and good fortune".

In the winter of the fourth year of Chongzhen, when the old father was cutting firewood outside, he fell to the ground and never got up again.In this era, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, no one knows what kind of disease it is, and people die.According to Zhang Shun's experience in his previous life, he estimated that it should be a disease such as cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction.

A lifetime of father and son, a lifetime of family love.Although Zhang Shun felt a little indifferent because of his two lives, he still blamed himself: If he had endured more hardships, maybe his old father would be fine.

The dead are dead, too late to regret.Zhang Shun also had no choice but to find someone to spend money to hire a Taoist priest according to the customs of this era, and to do a simple ceremony for his old father, which can be regarded as a token of his affection.

Rural farmers in this era are quite poor.Dealing with food and drink all day long, even some poor families have never even seen copper coins. Some needs are mostly bartered.The richer ones finished their food, and some were rich enough to raise some chickens and ducks, sell some money, and be able to meet emergencies at ordinary times.There are even some poorer ones who can't afford the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so they abandon their fields and flee.

Zhang Shun is now in Zhangjia Village under the administration of Chenzhou, Kaifeng Prefecture, Chief Secretary of Henan Province. Henan has always been a large agricultural province.The status in the agricultural society is very important. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who win the Central Plains win the world.Even since the Song Dynasty, the economic center of gravity has shifted to the south, Henan is still one of the important granaries in the north, and this situation of abandonment has always occurred, and Zhang Shun has to sigh: This is a great Ming medicine.

Zhang Shun read a lot of Ming Chuan novels in his previous life, and knew the importance of soldiers and horses in troubled times.He knows the routine: first train the pikemen, set up the pike formations to suppress the bandits and reassure the people; then recruit craftsmen, make muskets, line up and shoot them, and occupy the base area; Develop and grow, and eventually rule the world, the Sangong, the Sixth Court, the Seventy-two Concubines and so on.

However, most of the villagers regard him as an unworthy descendant who eats too much and is lazy, so they are not willing to listen to him, instead of doing farm work, but practice some martial arts to make him a subordinate. Isn't this just a dream?

Zhang Shun followed the example of the "sages" and tried to do some business and earn some money, but no one in the villagers was willing to be taken advantage of and lend him capital. Although his family could still have enough to eat, he still had no capital to live on.Helpless, since Zhang Shun was reborn, he has been in such a daze for seventeen or eighteen years, thinking in his heart that the world will be chaotic, and since he is unable to turn the tide, he should be alone.After preparing to bury the old father, he sold his property and found a place to avoid disaster.

Leaving aside Zhang Shun's long-term plans, this time, as an unfilial son, Zhang Shun is willing to spend money to do things for his old father, which has to make the villagers look at him with admiration.Zhang Shun's old father was a resident who moved from other places, and he had no relatives. Zhang Shun didn't know any messy etiquette, so he didn't know how to do it.Unexpectedly, the villagers who had ridiculed him before came to help one after another, which made Zhang Shun feel warm.

This morning, Zhang Shun was pacing around in hemp and mourning to greet the neighbors who came to help, but he happened to see an old Taoist priest wearing a patched Taoist uniform and holding a dust whisk walking in the door.Zhang Shunxin said: This should be the Taoist priest who was invited to do things, so he cupped his hands and said: "It's time for the Taoist priest."

Unexpectedly, when the old Taoist saw him obviously stunned, he quickly bowed his head and said, "Don't dare, the poor Taoist came too late, Your Excellency Wanwang, please forgive me."

Seeing this, Zhang Shun and the villagers couldn't help being shocked.In Chinese feudal society, officials were the most respected, followed by country gentry and scholars, followed by Buddhist monks and the elderly.This old Taoist priest has a childlike face and a fairy demeanor, Zhang Shun is young, how can he bear such a big gift, he quickly helped him up, and said: "Don't dare, how dare you."

All the villagers couldn't help laughing when they saw it: Another one who was bluffed!
It turns out that Zhang Shun looks very good, he is eight feet tall, his eyes are like lightning, he eats fat, he has a slow temper, and he likes to walk around.If it weren't for his patched short jacket, no one would have doubted that he was the son of a rich family.

The old Taoist gave the villagers a contemptuous look, said nothing, and went straight to the practice according to the arrangement.

According to the arrangement of the elders in the village, Zhang Shun worked hard all day and finally buried his old father.I was sad and wanted to be alone for a while.The old man in the village said again: "The Taoist chief who came to do things and the villagers who helped have not left. We need to make a few more banquets. Thank you for your help."

Zhang Shun was helpless, and arranged for the villagers to help make two banquets for the big guys.The villagers are poor, and they don't touch oil and water all year round. They don't want to leave, but they eat from evening to late night, and they are almost drunk.

So, someone used Jiu Jin to laugh at the old Taoist priest, saying that his eyesight was not good and he was fooled by Zhang Shun's appearance.The Taoist leader also drank too much, so he laughed and said: "How old is the poor Taoist, he is the most acquainted, and never loses his eyes. You are blind and dare to laugh at me. This is really a trick of a dragon trapped in shallow water, a tiger Luo Pingyang was bullied by dogs."

The villagers were rude and ignorant, and they didn't get annoyed when they were scolded by the old Taoist. They just laughed and said, "What kind of dragon and tiger are you? What kind of big man is he? We call him a 'false prince' here. There may be an emperor in the family to inherit." .”

When the old Taoist saw someone questioning him, he pointed to Zhang Shun and said, "Look at this piece of raw forehead with ribs on both sides, and the nasal bone runs through up and down, like a big seal. The face of great wealth and great honor."

"How rich and expensive can it be?"

"It's as light as a general! If it's as important as an emperor!"

The villagers had never heard of such a character, and they didn't dare to eat food or drink, and just listened to the old Taoist with their ears up.

"Look at his eyes again. They are dark and big. They are not angry and arrogant. This is the noble face of Longmu. This is why you think others are often fooled. He doesn't look like an ordinary person. Besides, look carefully at his pupils." , but it is inlaid with size, the legendary double pupil, which is a characteristic only of the legendary Emperor Shun."

"Look at his thick and raised eyebrows, like knives, which is the appearance of an emperor killing." "Look at his ears are big and thick, with drooping earlobes; his arms are stretched out, his hands are over his knees, just like Uncle Liu of the Three Kingdoms .”

"Old Taoist priest, I used to read photo books, and only thought that the predecessors made them up. How can there be such a person? Now I know that there are such strange people in the world." The old Taoist said with emotion. I believe that I have met an emperor and noble person.

"Shen Yan, this is the crime of decapitation!" Someone who realized it at this time suddenly said.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they didn't dare to speak.The old Taoist was also in a cold sweat. After drinking for three minutes, he concealed his embarrassment: "I drank too much wine, talking nonsense! Don't take it seriously."

Zhang Shun was a little sad at first, and didn't care to listen to it. Later, when their voices became louder, he didn't care much when he heard them make up and make up like this.After all, he was deeply educated in the materialism of later generations, and kept a respectful distance from these feudal superstitions.

Only they said that they had double pupils, which made him a little worried.In this day and age, mirrors are usually made of copper. Copper is money, and only the ladies of some rich families have this thing. Zhang Shun has never looked in a mirror since he traveled.

For this reason, Zhang Shun decided to find a mirror to take a look at his eyes when he turned around.Because according to later studies, the so-called "double pupil" is pupil adhesion, which is said to be the early manifestation of cataract. I must not become blind. Cataract surgery is not allowed in this age.

In this way, after burying his old father, Zhang Shun was planning to sell his property and seek refuge in a distant place, but he did not expect that the attitude of the villagers towards him had changed a lot in the past few days. The girl started flirting with him, leaving Zhang Shun speechless for a while.

A few days later, Zhang Shun lazily got up from the bed as usual, and slept until the sun was high, preparing to eat the leftover meat from the funeral.

But never thought, with a sound, the door of his house was knocked open.Zhang Shun jumped up from the bed and looked, but it was a girl who often winked at him, and ran in in a panic.

Zhang Shun was startled, are girls so bold in this era? Didn't they say that the ancients were conservative?How can I reject her?

Unexpectedly, when the girl saw him, she hurriedly shouted out of breath, "Zhang Sheng, hurry up! Someone has informed you, Zhizhou Zheng sent people to arrest you, and they are inquiring about you at the entrance of the village."

"What did you arrest me for? I didn't break the law?" Zhang Shun asked strangely.

"Catch you to rebel?"

"Where did I rebel?"

"You are born with the appearance of an emperor. If you don't rebel, will the emperor pass on the throne to you? Do you still think you are the real prince?"
