Please ask me to be the emperor

Although Li Jiyu said that the rebels had everything, he actually couldn't bear to part with the collection of books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the academy.

Although Songyang Academy is not as prosperous as in the past, it still has three to four hundred volumes of the Four Books, Five Classics and other miscellaneous books.

Li Jiyu ordered his soldiers to find some pockets, put them all in and carry them on their backs. Only then did he escort 73 people, including the mountain chief, economic chief, hall chief and students, back to Dengfeng County.

As a result, just after leaving Songyang Academy, the mountain chief suddenly burst into tears. While crying, he cursed: "You who kill a thousand swords, how did we, the scholars who read the books of sages, offend you? Destroy my academy." , what’s the point of arresting my teachers and students?”

Li Jiyu's trip went so smoothly, but something unexpected happened again.

Nian had previously promised Zhang Shun that he would treat the teachers and students of Songyang Academy with courtesy, so he had to hold back his anger and shouted in a low voice: "What are you going to do, like an old schoolmaster?"

The mountain chief glanced at Li Jiyu with fear. Seeing that he spoke but did not take action, and looked like a gentleman, he explained in a low and frightened voice: "I am also the mountain chief of Songyang Academy. If I am so honest, If I am actually caught by you, I must look bad on my face. If the government finds out about this, I will have all the teachers, students, and children of my academy charged with being a thief, and the destruction of our family and clan will not be far away."

"I thought that since nothing happened along the way, the old man just howled a few times, so it wasn't worth it. You are just watching a show, please forgive me."

Li Jiyu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. How could such an old scoundrel be born in this holy land of scholars?

But after thinking about the families of these scholars and students, he understood somewhat and let him go. Li Jiyu also specially arranged for the soldiers to say: "Let him cry if he cries, just to sell sweet potatoes; let him scream if he cries, just to laugh at passers-by."

Li Jiyu arranged it well, but after a while he couldn't laugh anymore.

It turned out that when the old man started crying, the others immediately imitated his example and cried loudly, as if their parents were dead.

Now it's better. Not to mention the quarrels all the way, Li Jiyu's "evil deeds" are almost "known to everyone from Khitan to Ireland".

Li Jiyu and his five hundred elite men were being pointed at all the time, and everyone was so ashamed that they could not hold their heads up. In particular, Li Jiyu was originally an enshrined person, but someone actually recognized him on the street and even mentioned him by name. Even the eighteenth generation of his ancestors mentioned him.

Li Jiyu knew that Zhang Shun had this intention, so he had no choice but to ignore it. Although he cursed the old mountain leader for his wickedness, he had no choice but to endure it shamelessly.

The journey was uneventful, and Li Jiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he finally arrived at Dengfeng County. After he saw Zhang Shun, he quickly handed these bastards to Zhang Shun like hot potatoes.

Zhang Shun originally thought that Li Jiyu would be satisfied if he could capture a dozen students, but he never expected that this guy almost brought Songyang Academy over.

Zhang Shun was very happy and praised: "I really feel reassured when I do things by chance. Once I do something, I will be extraordinary."

Li Jiyu only said that it was Zhang Shun who praised him on the way and made these scholars and scribes scream, "slandering his name", so he had to smile bitterly in response, and by the way, he told Zhang Shun about the appearance of the old mountain chief.

Zhang Shun felt strange after hearing this. The Confucian scholars and scribes he had met before were either as staunch as Zhang Shenyan and He Fu, or they were like Han Tingxian, who was in Cao's camp and his heart was in Han.

As for scholars like "Dian Dengzi" raising an army, Zhang Shun only heard about it, but never saw it. It is very rare for a scholar like this to have no backbone.

Zhang Shun then turned around, cupped his hands and asked, "Thank you, Chief Lao Shan, for leading the crowd to vote. May I ask for your name?"

Knowing that this was the rightful master, the old mountain leader quickly knelt down and kowtowed a few times and said: "The little old man's surname is Zuo, his given name is Lie, and his given name is Gu Zhong. It's just that he supports teaching independently in the mountains, just like a monk meditating in a remote place. As if he was enlightened, he gave himself a nickname, Leng Chan!"

Zhang Shun was suddenly choked by him. He didn't know whether he was a leftist or not. Anyway, he was definitely neither fierce, loyal, nor cold!

Chen Jin was quarrelsome, and when he heard the words, he sarcastically said: "As the head of the Songyang Academy, you should set an example and serve your family, country and the world. How come you don't?"

At this point, Chen Jindou himself was speechless. Although this guy has no backbone at all, he has brought more than seventy scholars and scribes, and his help to the lord is extraordinary. What's more, this plan comes from his own mouth. If he makes irresponsible remarks again, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

"This great king is talking about integrity, right?" Zuo Lengchan was not annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he explained to Zhang Shun with a smile, "This is not the original intention of the ancient sages."

"In the past, Shusun Tong served Xiang Liang, King Huai of Chu, Xiang Yu and the King of Han, ten masters before and after. Confucianism was beginning to flourish. Everyone was happy and said: Shusun is a sincere saint and knows the important affairs of the world."

"After the sage Confucius, the gold came to bring down gold, and the yuan came to bring down the yuan. He was granted the title of Holy Duke Yan, and his grace has not diminished through hundreds of generations. Who in the world can match him?"

"Why shouldn't I, Zuo Guzhong, follow the example of the ancient saints and sages to promote culture and education? What's more, all the disciples in my courtyard have fathers, wives and children. If they are stubborn and do not know how to advance or retreat, but lose their lives, how can I explain to them? ?”

"As the head of a hospital, I can't teach them glory and wealth. How can I let them ruin their lives or reputation? As the saying goes: Once a teacher, always a father. In this case, why not I gave the order to surrender, and they had no choice but to obey. In this way, their lives and reputations could be saved, but I, who was about to be buried, would be a villain!"

Zhang Shun was greatly surprised when he heard this. He looked at this guy for a long time, but he couldn't tell whether what he said was sincere or whether he was making excuses to fool himself.

However, after all, I got a large number of scholars and officials who could read and write, so I no longer had to be too demanding or careless about others.

He just warned: "That's very good, but I underestimated the mountain leader! In this case, from now on, the mountain leader should be called Zuo Lengchan."

The mountain chief knew that he was no longer worthy of the word "Gu Zhong", so he had no choice but to comply. Zhang Shun didn't know how to be demanding, so he ordered the students to prepare some clothes and items for the expedition.

It turned out that Zhang Shun saw that the matter was over and there was no other benefit to staying here. Officers and soldiers would soon attack him, so he became dissatisfied.

He then ordered Li Jiyu to lead 500 elite troops to stay near Songshan Mountain, firstly to develop some soldiers and horses to respond to the rebel army in Baodu Village; secondly, to monitor Ren Chen's movements and be ready to support, cooperate or accept his troops at any time.

All preparations were made, and the rebel army was about to set off. Suddenly Wukong led a man in. As soon as the man entered the door, he knelt down and shouted loudly: "Lord, I have found you. Please send your army quickly to save my brother's life!"
