please make me king

Chapter 1621
When Zhang Shun's intention was conveyed to the cabinet, the elders of the cabinet had nothing to say.

Even Kong Zhenyun, who has always been upright and has been transferred to Zuodu Censor and in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, did not say a word.

No matter for Zhang Shun or Zhu Changxun, the palace is too deserted.

Have you seen any emperor's ministers, there are not 500 people in the courtyard to serve?
These two people are not to be compared with the emperors of the past dynasties, even ordinary middle-class families.

It's just that no one expected that this edict would immediately cause an outrageous commotion.

Do you know why?

It turns out that no one cares whether it's a beautiful woman or a eunuch, but there are only a hundred supervisors, which makes people have bad associations.

"Age between 15 and [-] years old, still recruiting orphans? This is not recruiting supervising students, this is digging the roots of our scholars!"

"Where the imperial court selects materials, the imperial examination is the orthodox one, and the rest are heretics. Could it be that His Majesty doesn't trust scholars?"

For a while, there were many discussions among the group, and some officials did not dare to be independent, so they hurriedly reported to Zhang Shun.

"Huh? This king dares to block the recruiting of several supervisors. Could it be that the king's sword is not good for him?" Zhang Shun suddenly became furious.

"Your Highness, absolutely not!" As soon as Zhang Shun said this, Zhang Shenyan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, immediately advised him, "Now is the time for employing people, how can we lose the hearts of scholars all over the world because of a small loss?"

Fame is something that doesn't matter if it's not important, but it's important if it's important.

Zhang Shun himself can disregard his own reputation, but he cannot disregard the reputation of the rebel army.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath and said: "Forget it, since that's the case, let's forget about the supervisory student!"

"Your Highness is holy!" Hearing the words from the left and right, they couldn't help but bowed one after another.

Shengming?Ha, Zhang Shun smiled strangely.

Is this what it's like to be an emperor?

Although he has not proclaimed himself emperor yet, he has already felt the obstruction of his policies by an interest group.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" When Zhang Shun stepped down and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a dark face, Li Sanniang saw that his expression was wrong.

"It's okay!" Zhang Shun was angry and didn't want to talk to her.

"You have a stubborn temper, I don't know?" Li Sanniang laughed when she heard this, "If you are angry, why don't you play with the children for a while."

"Xiao Huaji and Xiao Ping'an are also grown up, and after two years, I'm afraid you won't be able to play with them anymore."

She knows him too well, although he is usually cheerful, once he is really angry, he will not be able to pull back eight cows.

Instead of persuading him, it's better to wait for him to calm down.

"Going to school?" Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his eyes lit up, "By the way, where is Nanzi Shi Moxi?"

"Ah? You want her to sleep with you? I'm afraid I won't be able to for a while!" Li Sanniang smiled wryly.

"Oh? What's the matter, didn't that girl say all day long that she would give birth to a son for me?" Zhang Shun didn't correct her misunderstanding, but just smiled.

"She, didn't she adopt many children for you? Now there are seventy or eighty children, big and small, how can she be busy?" Li Sanniang explained.

"Besides, some of them are in their teens, and it's not suitable for them to mix in this Hall of Mental Cultivation. I found a few rooms for her next to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and selected a dozen or so women from among the sinners in the Palace of Compassion and Ning." Someone, take care of the child for her there."

If others dared to make such a claim, Zhang Shun would have turned his back on him long ago.

However, since this person is Li Sanniang, it is nothing.

"Oh? Well, I'll go over and have a look later!" Zhang Shun pondered for a while, then nodded involuntarily.

"Your Highness, I. Can I follow?" Zhang Shun had just finished speaking, but unexpectedly heard a person whispering.

He turned his head and saw Zhou Yufeng looking at him pleadingly.

"Okay, let's go together in a while!" He pondered for a while, and then understood Queen Zhou's thoughts, "It's been a long time since I saw you, you should go see her too!"

As the saying goes, mother and child are connected.

Don't look at her being obedient like a kitten by Zhang Shun's side, but she still cares about her child in her heart.

One is the former Ming prince Zhu Cihong, and the other is the former Ming princess Zhu Yuxi.

These two people, the older one is about seven or eight years old, and the younger one is about six or seven years old, almost at the age when they should start school.

When Zhang Shun was ready, he took Li Sanniang and Zhou Yufeng with him, and then escorted by Wukong, he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and headed for the Palace of Compassion.

The Compassionate Ning Palace is on the west side of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the distance is not very far.

After walking a few steps, everyone came to the Compassion Palace.

"I have seen Your Highness!" Xuanyi Dowager Liu Shi, who was in her eighties, saw Zhang Shun coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage.

"Get up, I have nothing to do, just walk around!" Zhang Shun looked at the white-haired old concubine in front of him, and couldn't help but sympathized.

"Mother!" At this moment, two clear and crisp voices of a boy and a girl were heard, and then the two children threw themselves into Queen Zhou's arms.

"My son!" After not seeing each other for several months, Empress Zhou hugged the two children into her arms and burst into tears.

"Your Highness, this." Princess Xuan Yi couldn't help but look embarrassed when she saw this.

"It's okay, let him go!" Since he brought her here, he naturally agreed to let their mother and son meet.

Seeing that the three of them were crying sadly, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "It seems that we are a bit redundant here, why don't you let us go out for a while!"

"Dog thief, is it you who took over my mother's queen!" At this moment, unexpectedly, Zhu Cihong broke free from Queen Zhou's arms, and pointed at Zhang Shun angrily.

"Ah? What nonsense are you talking about?" Before Zhu Cihong finished speaking, the faces of Concubine Xuanyi, Empress Zhou and others were so scared that their faces turned pale.

This guy is a living Hades, how dare you provoke him?

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but look at him playfully.

Every man will have a psychology called "father killing plot" when he grows up.

Father is their guide and also the mountain they will climb.

If it is a father and son, then this mentality will dissipate after the son matures, and then take over the banner in the father's hand and move on.

Instead of the biological father and son, it may evolve into a real "father killing"!
"Zhang Sheng?" Seeing Zhang Shun's expression, Li Sanniang couldn't help being startled, and quickly reminded her.

"It's okay, can I still argue with a child?" Zhang Shun smiled at Li Sanniang and Queen Zhou, then waved his hands at Zhu Cihong.

"Come on, let's go over there and talk a little bit about men!"

"Okay!" Zhu Cihong stood up suddenly when he heard the words, and walked towards Zhang Shun.

"Lang'er." The empress of Zhou turned pale with fright, and quickly grabbed her son tightly.

"Don't worry, a gentleman's words are hard to follow!" Zhang Shun emphasized again.

At this time, Zhu Cihong also stretched out his hand to break away Empress Zhou's hand, pursed her lips stubbornly and said, "Mother, don't let your child be looked down upon."

"Long'er? Wolf?" For some reason, Zhang Shun smiled, and then the two walked outside, one behind the other, under the gaze of everyone.

To everyone's surprise, the two didn't fight, nor were they annoyed.

Instead, Zhang Shun squatted down, faced him face to face, and said something.

However, Zhang Shunshi stood up abruptly, but Zhu Cihong hesitated and bowed down.

"Lang'er, you..." After waiting for the two to come back, Queen Zhou couldn't help checking her son in a panic, but found nothing unusual.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I have worshiped His Highness as a foster father." At this moment, Zhu Cilang stammered out a sentence, which immediately surprised everyone.

"And Your Highness, allow me to continue offering sacrifices to my father"

Those who govern the world with filial piety will not harm people's relatives; those who govern the world with benevolence will never stop offering sacrifices to others.

Zhang Shun has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous, but he was able to do such a thing.

However, no one would believe that with these few words, Zhang Shun was able to subdue the former Ming prince Zhu Cihong who hated him deeply.

However, what exactly the two of them said and what deal they made at that time is unknown.

In the end, this matter became one of the many unsolved cases in history.
