Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 443 Returning the Pearl to the King

When Chen Jindou and others arrived, Zhang Shun led his generals to greet them in person. Unexpectedly, the two parties had just finished the ceremony.

A handsome little book boy jumped out of the crowd, winked at Zhang Shun mischievously, saluted with a smile on his face and said: "Master, your little book boy is here!"

Zhang Shun looked up and saw that it was none other than Li Xiang's maid Liu Rushi.

It turned out that after they got the news that Zhang Shun was preparing to go on an expedition, they were not only worried about Zhang Shun's safety, but also worried that Zhang Shun would take the opportunity to bring back some women. Learn from the past and don’t be careless.

After the three of them thought about it, they had no choice but to send Liu Rushi over. Firstly, to act as an eye liner, and secondly, to save things, Zhang Shun always thinks of something that is not available.

In fact, according to the plan, Li Xiang originally thought that this time "who else would be better than me". Then Li Sanniang and Zhu'er need to raise a baby and Shi Shi. Lady Hong is just pregnant and can't leave the foundation to hold a baby.

Only Li Xiang has the most leisure time and has this opportunity. But she didn't expect that because she saved Li Sanniang and her son last time, she would be coaxed to stay by the red lady.

A matchmaker was afraid that when her child was born, the child and herself would be in danger, and no one would take care of her.

Secondly, Li Xiang is regarded as the godmother by Li Sanniang's fifteenth daughter, and the matchmaker takes the opportunity to enhance her relationship with Li Xiang.

The third one took the opportunity to cut off Li Xiang and Zhang Shun's opportunity to be alone and delay Li Xiang's pregnancy.

Li Xiang tried to evade, but the matchmaker blocked him with "Is it true that my sister was able to help Sanniang, so she can't help the matchmaker?"

Li Xiang wanted to cry but had no tears, in order to show that she did not take sides with Li Sanniang. She had no choice but to drink a bowl of water and stay with the red lady to give birth.

Back and forth, the three of them plotted and plotted. It turned out that only Liu Rushi was free enough to take on such an important task, so she was sent over.

Zhang Shun doesn't have high requirements, as long as he has a woman by his side, he is satisfied. Seeing Liu Rushi coming to take care of him, he felt a little happy.

After everyone's arrangements were completed, Zhang Shun felt proud and showed off to Liu Rushi how he had recently defended and made the people of Song County speechless.

Liu Rushi was deeply moved when she heard this. She learned her knowledge from Zhou Daodeng, the chief minister of the dynasty, and she also valued loyalty.

It's just that as a weak woman, she "married a chicken, followed a chicken, married a dog, followed a dog". Now she followed a "thief leader" and became a "thief mother-in-law". There was nothing she could do about it.

It's just that she feels a little uncomfortable. After all, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. I look down on myself a little, let alone others?

Now that she listened to Zhang Shun's four-paragraph essay on people, country, monarch and country, her heart went away.

Yes, I am now asking for life for the people. I want to save the people from the fire and water, attack the unjust, and kill the tyrants. He is practicing the righteous way of Shang, Tang and Zhou Wu. How can he be compared with the rebellious ministers and traitors?

After thinking about this, Liu Rushi quickly gave Zhang Shun an idea to persuade He Fu, the magistrate of Song County, to surrender.

It stands to reason that although He Fu, the magistrate of Song County, has some abilities, he is not a necessary person for Zhang Shun.

It's just that the relationship between monarch and minister is similar to the relationship between men and women. It's best not to get it. The more staunch He Fu became, the more Zhang Shun wanted to impress him.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded after hearing what Liu Rushi said. Since Liu Ru was dressed in men's clothing, he simply asked her to pretend to be his book boy, and Zhang took her to visit the magistrate He Fu.

He Fu knew his intention and didn't want to see him. He just said coldly: "Sit down, I have made up my mind, why do you need to waste words!"

Zhang Shun greeted him politely, but the guy didn't respond. He smiled and said: "I heard that during the Shang Dynasty, Chonghou, Fei Zhong, Feilian and Eilai were all loyal ministers of the Shang Dynasty. However, there are Very few people praise them for their loyalty, but instead they are insulted by everyone for being a helper."

"The villain of the Shang Kingdom was the brother of King Zhou, but he betrayed the Shang Kingdom and defected to the Zhou Kingdom of King Wu. The world did not condemn his disloyalty and unrighteousness, but praised his benevolence and righteousness. I have little knowledge and want to ask you for advice. Why is this?"

The magistrate He Fu still didn't want to pay attention to him, but he didn't expect that he would insult the monarch, so he couldn't help but said angrily: "Shang Zhou was debauched and indulged in wine and meat. The emperor only had a few empresses and concubines, and he even took out the gold and silver from the palace. Sell ​​it to subsidize the country.”

"The Shang Dynasty was cruel and unruly, and tortured the people with cannons and burnings; but the Holy Emperor said, 'Thieves and bandits are also my innocent sons.' , be vigilant day and night, and handle national political affairs wholeheartedly."

"How can Shang Zhou compare with the Holy One? Shang Zhou was the king who destroyed the country, but the Holy One must be the leader of the restoration!"

Zhang Shun was listening with interest until the time when the magistrate He Fu mentioned "the Lord of ZTE". Zhang Shun, who was drinking tea, suddenly choked. Originally, Zhang Shun thought that he would be able to convince this person with the allusion to Yi Ding from Shang and Zhou dynasties that Liu Rushi told him. Unexpectedly, He Fu was so confident in Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhang Shun coughed and interrupted Magistrate He Fu's long speech. Liu Rushi was quite obedient and quickly walked to the back and patted Zhang Shun on the back to comfort him.

After Zhang Shun calmed down, he saw the magistrate He Fu glaring at him angrily. Zhang Shun knew that he had lost etiquette, so he had to explain: "I'm really sorry, what you said was so funny, I couldn't hold it back for a while!"

Damn it! No matter how well-educated the county magistrate He Fu was, he could not bear Zhang Shun's ridicule. He roared angrily and rushed forward, vowing to fight Zhang Shun to the death.

Liu Rushi was originally a weak woman, the kind of person who would cry for a long time after being punched. When she saw the two of them starting to fight, how could she dare to break up the fight? He immediately called Wukong in a panic to come in and protect him.

I never thought that Zhang Shun was also a practicing scholar. Although he was not as good as Wang Jinyi, Chen Changzhen and others, he was still able to deal with an ordinary scribe. He was able to restrain the magistrate He Fu with three strikes and five additions.

To be honest, it's no wonder Zhang Shun was rude. He couldn't help but laugh when he heard the magistrate He Fu mocking Shang Zhou as the king of the country's subjugation and boasting that Chongzhen was the leader of the ZTE.

Zhang Shun had no choice but to speak sternly: "If I had not insulted you, if an emperor could make the world peaceful just by relying on personal morality and diligence, then the world would be too easy to govern!"

"Nowadays, there are Tartar threats outside the Ming Dynasty, refugees are everywhere inside, natural disasters are constant, and man-made disasters are endless. If Chongzhen's son can't turn the tide, why bother to be born in an emperor's family?"

"If he really wants to be the leader of the ZTE, he must also ask the hungry people outside and the refugees in the mountains who have left their homes, whether they will agree or not!"

"Whether it's 'Chuang King' or 'Chuang General', or 'Living Cao Cao' or 'Eight Kings', although they claim to be heroes, they are nothing more than ordinary people. You have also had some contact with them. You should know that their knowledge is not as good as that of a lifetime soldier. The art of war is The martial arts skills are not as good as those of a thousand households. If it were in the past, you only need to send one general soldier to capture him."

"Now it has affected five provinces, and there are several governors and governors who can't control it. Why? The court has no rules and the people are in dire straits, so the offensive and defensive momentum will be different."

He Fu listened and stopped struggling. After a long silence, he whispered: "I already know what you mean. Doing it when you know you can't do it is the way of a loyal minister. Now I can only return the king's pearls." Tears are shed, wishing we could meet again before we were married!"
