please make me king

Chapter 1040 Song Qijiao

When Zhang Shun rushed back to Qin Palace, there was already one person who had been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Shun pushed the door open and entered, he couldn't help being startled.

I saw that the man was only in his thirties, dressed in shabby clothes, with a determined expression, as if he wanted to kill or cut him, and listened to his respect.

Zhanshuai, also known as chopping, is a mourning dress, and it is the heaviest of the five mourning clothes.

The ancients valued filial piety the most, and divided the mourning clothes into five categories.

They are Zhanfu, Qifu, Dagong, Xiaogong and Shuma.

Among them, the chopping is made of the thickest raw linen, and the broken part is exposed.

The mourning jacket is called "Sui", because it is called "Zhan Shui", which is used to express the meaning of mourning without embellishment, and the period of service is three years.

Of course, when Zhang Shun's parents passed away, he also wore it.

This thing is extremely rough, it is said to be sackcloth, but in fact it is similar to wearing armor, it is very tormenting.

According to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, the son was cut off for three years for both parents.

That is, as long as the parents die, everyone has to wear this thing for three years.

And you can't be an official, you can't take part in scientific examinations, you can't get close to women, you can't drink and have fun, etc.

The theoretical basis is that after a child is born, it takes three years in the arms of its parents before it can walk freely. Therefore, when the parents die, they must observe filial piety for three years to repay their parents for their kindness.

Isn’t this the ancient version of formalism?

Because it is too cumbersome and time-consuming, it is not strictly enforced among ordinary people.

A filial son like Zhang Shun abandoned Zhan Shuan early on after running away.

In fact, strictly counting, it would take twenty-seven months to cut down and mourn.

Calculating carefully, Zhang Shun had rebelled for so many years, and it was not long after the mourning period.

Where did Li Zicheng find a dutiful son for himself, Zhang Shun felt strange, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know what your name is? Where is he from? What do you do for a living?"

"Song Qijiao, people from Qianzhou, have met His Royal Highness King Qin!" The man bowed to Zhang Shun with a serious look on his face.

"I don't know. I don't know who died in the family, so that this happened?" Zhang Shun didn't intend to ask this matter at first.

It's just that this person is dressed in bad clothes, so he can't pretend to be blind, right?

"My mother has gone!" Song Qijiao couldn't help crying when he heard the words, "Why are you so disregarding human relations?"

"I was an orphan since I was a child, and there was only one mother in my family who raised me up."

"I heard the bad news three months ago. I traveled two thousand miles to the funeral. I just buried my mother hastily, and they forced me like this!"

"Ah? Don't cry, don't cry, Brother Song, what's going on?" Zhang Shun said awkwardly while comforting Song Qijiao, who was tearing up.

It turned out that this "breakthrough general" Li Zicheng took the initiative to invite Ying, and after being appointed by Zhang Shun as the envoy to clean up the fields, he had a very happy life with Li Guo and Liu Zongmin every day.

It's just that after several lives were lost in a row, the counselor Gu Junen couldn't help but sit still.

He hurriedly advised: "Since ancient times, the heavenly family is ruthless, and the emperor is ruthless!"

"Although King Shun promised to be a general and a prince, if such things are done too much, the loss of Yangshou will not be mentioned."

"In case King Shun's ears are soft, the general is slandered by villains, and the brotherhood is broken, what should I do?"

What's wrong? The brotherhood is so friendly. In fact, Gu Junen is to remind Li Zicheng, what if King Shun can't suppress this matter and turns around and "sold us"?
"That can't be it?" Li Zicheng hesitated for a while, and he was a little hesitant, "Although King Shun promised me the title of prince and marquis, if he doesn't make some contributions, how can he convince the public?"

"Originally, when I went to Yulin in the north, I wanted to make some military exploits. As a result, Yulin and Ningxia surrendered one after another, but my general was useless!"

"If you refuse to do some 'dirty work', it will be even more useless."

Of course, Gu Junen is well aware of this, if it is really "increasingly useless", then King Shun will definitely not be able to make any guarantees.

He frowned, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help offering a plan: "Actually, I have a plan, which will definitely please King Shun and add another speaker to the general!"

"You mean, looking for a beautiful woman to offer?" Li Zicheng opened his mouth and came, obviously thinking for a long time.

"Nowadays King Shun is surrounded by clouds of beauties, wives and concubines, how can you, a big boss, pick and choose?" Gu Junen couldn't help laughing.

"According to my point of view, King Shun is now looking for talents, so why don't I find a big talent to offer, at least it will be considered a good relationship?"

"Hey, that's good, don't tie a beauty to a scholar!" Liu Zongmin and Zhang Shun have the same problem, and the same sex repels each other, so they don't agree with Li Zicheng's "beauty trick", but are quite fond of Gu Junen's "talent trick" Heart.

"Now we are thieves and they are officials. King Shun's reputation is so good that we can't ask for one person. How can we ask for talents to offer to King Shun?" Li Zicheng frowned when he heard this.

"This matter is easy to hear!" Gu Junen couldn't help laughing, "A few days ago when the general was caught, I heard that there was a 'Wenquxing' in Qianzhou. In the first year of Chongzhen, he was awarded a Jinshi and was awarded the post of Tuiguan in Yangzhou by the court."

In fact, this Yangzhou Tuiguan is the same as the Song Tuiguan who rescued Zhang Shun when Song Xiance rescued Zhang Shun.

In Zhang Shun's view, this kind of official is already a "big sesame" official, but to Li Zicheng and others who lack civil servants and staff, they are indeed "Wenquxing".

"This person has a good reputation, great literary talent, and he is a first-class talent!" Gu Junen continued, "It just so happens that his mother died a few months ago, and Ding You lives at home, so he is the right one to be taken by King Shun!"

"That's fine, then I'll trouble Mr. Gu to go through this!" Li Zicheng nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and couldn't help but bow.

Nima, do you think I'm that thief Song Xiance?
Gu Junen couldn't help but smiled wryly when he heard the words: "This person is beyond my three-inch tongue, and I have to trouble the general to go so far before there is a glimmer of hope."

Isn't this nonsense, people are in mourning, who can say it?
As a result, Li Zicheng surrounded Qianzhou City at the suggestion of Gu Junen, a dog-headed military strategist.

Threatened: "But if someone from Song Dynasty is obtained, the city will not be massacred; if not, if you go in and fight, the chickens and dogs will be restless!"

Good guy, the original officials of Ganzhou fled long ago, and the people of Ganzhou are ignorant and don't know the situation.

Immediately, all over Hezhou, old and young women and children filled the streets and alleys, and knelt together in front of the Song Mansion.

Song Qijiao tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to open the city gate alone and surrender to the "Shun thief".

After Li Zicheng got Song Qijiao, as if he had found a treasure, he hurriedly sent someone to send it over quickly, so that today's event happened.

Zhang Shun couldn't help crying and laughing after hearing Song Qijiao's cry.

To be honest, Li Zicheng's operation was really immoral, and it also tarnished his reputation.

It's just that he is doing dirty work for himself now, so it's not good to criticize him.

However, since this person has come, can he be pushed back?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This thug just won't do good things, don't worry, I will punish him severely later!"

"As for you, since you are here, you will be safe!"

"Who doesn't have parents and brothers? Brother Song is indeed sad, but the tens of millions of people in Xi'an now have no parents and officials, and no overnight food, it is even more sad!"

"Since that's the case, why don't Brother Song get back on his feet and serve as the magistrate of Yaozhou for me, which can be regarded as benefiting the people of one side?"

Then Song Qijiao was scared out of his wits by Li Zicheng, how dare he say no?

It’s just that neither Zhang Shun, Li Zicheng, nor Song Qijiao himself knew that he was also besieged by Li Zicheng in the original history, and he was not allowed to "follow the thief". In the end, he became the official secretary of the Dashun government, ranking only in Tianyouge University Under the Venus.

Now going round and round, he still has not escaped this "robbery".

This is really a trick of good fortune, the world is unpredictable!
