please make me king

Chapter 700
Appreciating lanterns on the Lantern Festival, for Zhang Shun, who came from the era of feasting and debauchery, is not a rare thing for Zhang Shun, what is rare is just "appreciation".

Since his rebirth, it's not that Zhang Shun hasn't participated in such things as viewing lanterns.Compared with the colorful neon lights of the later generations, a few lights alone on the street are actually not worth seeing.This time, time is tight again, which is not much better than that.

Fortunately, this time under the guidance of Zhang Shun, Song Xiance only spent two days and one night to turn on this light show, which is already rare.

After leaving the Wangjing Gate, the north gate of Prince Fu's Mansion, the first thing you see are two red lanterns hanging on the left and right sides of the mansion.Looking further into the distance, there are all kinds of lanterns such as various figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, insect and fish modeling lamps, revolving horse lanterns, palace lanterns, and dragon lanterns.Colorful and varied.

Liu Rushi, Zhu'er, and Jian'er were all very excited, jumping up and down like children.Gao Guiying twitched her lips to show her disdain, but her beautiful eyes were shining brightly.

Even though Hong Niang was pregnant, she happily led Li Sanniang and Ma Yingniang up and down.She couldn't wait to make arrangements for Li Xiang and said: "You can pay more attention to the head of the house, the guests will come in a while, we won't be able to show our faces, so please bear with us."

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me and Xiao Ai!" Li Xiang and Liu Rushi were both dressed in men's clothes, and followed Zhang Shun around with the appearance of handsome servants.One is to guard against Zhang Shun's old illness from recurring, and the other is to help Zhang Shun when he associates with literati, so as to prevent him from making jokes.

To say that it is inconvenient to "show your face" is in fact that it is inconvenient to follow Zhang Shun on formal occasions when Zhang Shun meets gentry and literati, so as not to give people the impression that Zhang Shun is lustful and "under the control of women".

When the arrangements were completed, the few of them went to watch the lantern alone under the protection of Wukong.At this time, the street was already full of people, especially the women and children who didn't go out often, and they all came out in their best clothes.

Married women led their children, and the children appeared in groups on the street with lanterns in their hands.They surrounded the lanterns, all kinds of snacks, and sometimes urchins playing rogues, and there was laughter everywhere.

The unmarried women are also in groups, looking at the lights and people, pointing at passing men from time to time, and I don't know which young talent they have their eyes on at this time.

"Not bad!" Zhang Shun nodded in satisfaction, and praised Song Xiance beside him, "It's really rare to be able to make such a lantern festival in just two days!"

"It's nothing!" Song Xiance waved his hand modestly, with a fairy-like appearance, and said with a smile, "It's just that more craftsmen are recruited and more money is spent. It's all up to one person."

That being said, both Zhang Shun and Zhang Shenyan are pragmatic people, and of course they know that this requires high organizational skills.The two smiled and shook their heads, not exposing Song Xiance's "lie".After all, it is inconvenient for an expert outside the world to be contaminated by the world of philistines, otherwise he will lose his demeanor of an expert.

At this time, the old mountain leader Zuo Lengchan came over with his disciple Huang Deqing and dozens of disciples.He bowed to Zhang Shun and said with a double-entendre smile, "It's been a long time since I saw such a grand scene. Thanks to the power of King Shun, Luoyang City is what it is today!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Shun to return the gift, and said: "My ineffective disciple Huang Deqing has been following the old man for a long time, and now he wants to serve as King Shun, I wonder if it is possible?"

Zhang Shun returned a salute and said with a smile: "Mountains never tire of being high, and seas never tire of being deep. Duke Zhou spits out his nourishment, and the world returns to his heart!"

"What a duke of Zhou who vomits his nourishment, and the world will return to his heart! King Shun really has the ambition to embrace the world." As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, people couldn't help cheering.

Zhang Shun took a closer look, and saw that this person was in the [-]th and [-]th grades, with a burly figure, a dignified appearance, and quite a bearing.He couldn't help asking: "Who is this?"

When Huang Deqing saw that Zhang Shun attached great importance to him, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly responded, "This man is a student of Mengjin, whose surname is Li and whose name is Jiqi. The sages in the world, who respect the reputation of King Shun's benevolence and righteousness, have come to take refuge in King Shun!"

"Good, good, good!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but praise loudly when he heard the words, "Sure enough, he has the heart to make progress and do more good things for the people. This king will not be stingy with rewards!"

Li Jiqi couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and remonstrated: "The way to govern the country is to value etiquette rather than profit, and to value benevolence and righteousness rather than wealth. If King Shun asked me for wealth, no one in the world can match the imperial court." ? How can you gain by using the short to strike the long?"

Huang Deqing was taken aback when he heard the words, he never expected that this guy would give King Shun a bad blow when he came up.He couldn't help but change his face, and wanted to intercede for him.

Zhang Shun smiled when he heard the words, saluted and said, "It's true to Wu's words, this king has accepted it!"

In fact, although Li Jiqi's words were justified in this way, they seemed to be forcibly exaggerated.However, today Zhang Shun was planning to seek talent, how could he argue with him?In this way, even if he was rendered speechless, he could not achieve his goal.

Li Jiqi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words. He never expected that King Shun would follow his advice so quickly and accept his advice so quickly.He couldn't help but bowed and said, "King Shun is magnanimous and accepts all rivers and rivers. He really has the heart of Duke Zhou to feed and nourish. If King Shun doesn't give up, Li is willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Zhang Shun quickly took two steps forward and helped Li Jiqi up.

But Wang Jinyi, who was behind Zhang Shun, widened his eyes long ago, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to assassinate King Shun, which startled Li Jiqi who had just got up.

Immediately he realized that this person was the bodyguard of King Shun.Only then did Li Jiqi remember that King Shun had just been injured by Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi a few days ago. Looking carefully, it seemed that there was still a scar on his throat.He couldn't help thinking excitedly: King Shun was seriously injured just now, but he can still value the talents of the world, and he is not inferior to the old Duke of Zhou's love for talents!Such a hero should take over the world!

How did Zhang Shun know, just in this moment, this person has made up a lot of brains, and he is almost ready to "death festival" for Zhang Shun.

When Lao Shanzhang, Huang Deqing and Li Jiqi separated and followed Zhang Shun, a large group of scholars led by the former Minister of Nanjing Military Department Lu Weiqi arrived belatedly.

He couldn't help but took two steps forward and apologized, "I'm late, but I kept King Shun waiting for a long time!"

"It's okay! We wait for the heroes of the world, and we are eager to see through! Don't say that we are late for a while, even if we come many days and moons early, I will still feel late!" Zhang Shun said with a laugh.

"Unexpectedly, King Shun is a wonderful person!" As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, someone couldn't help saying, "It just so happened that I got something by chance, so I wrote a poem and please correct it."
