Please ask me to be the emperor

It turned out that Zhang Shenyan didn't know about it. After Zhang Shun got his handwriting, he took the opportunity to attach a forged letter from Zhang Shenyan's son Zhang Luxuan and sent it to Chen County Magistrate of Nayangcheng. At that time, Zhang Shun thought to himself: Zhang Shenyan is a third-rank official. When the magistrate of Yangcheng County came to take office, he must have visited him many times and became familiar with his handwriting. As for Zhang Shenyan's son, although he is good at studying, he is still a child. He must be obscured by Zhang Shenyan's light, and his handwriting must not be familiar to others.

If the Yangcheng County magistrate is really familiar with Zhang Shenyan's handwriting, he must be a "burning cold stove" person. How can he sit back and watch the fall of Tuncheng Village? He must go out in person and become familiar with Zhang's family; if this person does not recognize Zhang Shenyan's handwriting, he must laugh it off and put Yangcheng's safety first.

Therefore, Zhang Shun ordered his subordinates to ambush between Yangcheng and Tuncheng Village. If it was the first case, they would definitely be able to capture the county magistrate and take Yangcheng lightly; if it was the second case, they would attack Tuncheng Village and use Zhang Shenyan as a "voucher for surrender." .

When the county magistrate Chen saw Zhang Shenyan's handwriting, he did not doubt it was a fake and sent troops to rescue him, but was ambushed by Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun's subordinates Chen Changzhen, Xiao Qinhu, Wukong and Zhang Sanbai were all fierce generals. With one charge, they defeated the miscellaneous soldiers in Chen Zhi County who were trying to make up for the loss, and by the way captured Chen Zhi County of Yangcheng alive.

So, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "Sir, you are a high-ranking official. Please give me an idea: Do you think County Magistrate Chen should kill or release?"

When Zhang Shenyan heard this, he just wanted to curse: This thief is so shameless and cunning, and he still behaves when he gets an advantage. Asking this question is simply a deliberate attempt to embarrass myself. If I say that I will let the magistrate go, I will definitely be tainted by the magistrate as a thief, which will harm my family and ruin my reputation. If I say that I will kill the magistrate, I will definitely feel sad about this. How can I claim to be a loyal minister?

One sentence, two traps, but the other party didn't listen to his answer at all. Zhang Shenyan had to admire that this guy really turned his hand into clouds and rain, and was speechless.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shun said to Magistrate Chen: "I know this person's intentions well. You can go on your way with peace of mind!"

Then someone pulled him down and chopped him down. Magistrate Chen was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly asked for help: "Shilang Zhang, please open your mouth and save me."

Seeing this, Zhang Shenyan almost couldn't help but open his mouth to intercede. He opened his mouth silently, but finally held back. Don't look at this guy as pitiful. He was captured because of his own defeat. After this person escapes, in order to escape the crime, he will not only put all the blame on himself, but also kill his own family to avoid future troubles.

It is not a pity to die, but if this thief becomes bigger, the Ming Dynasty will never have peace. Only by keeping a useful body and exchanging the life of this thief can the world be peaceful.

Zhang Shun saw that he didn't say anything and didn't force him too much, so he just killed the man. Then they escorted the Yangcheng County prisoners, picked up Chen Zhixian's head, showed off their power, and walked towards Yangcheng County. Zhang Shenyan's true story was that Zhang Shun came over and ridiculed him for a while, but he never thought that the thief would just pretend that the incident had not happened and go about his business.

When Zhang Shun led his men to Yangcheng County, he picked up the head of the county magistrate and took the prisoners to show off his power. The guards on the city were as silent as cicadas and did not dare to look directly. So Zhang ordered people to make simple wooden ladders and climb up the city wall. Sure enough, when the Yangcheng guards saw the thieves rushing up, they dispersed.

Zhang Shun easily occupied Yangcheng, so he sent a message to "Zijinliang" to say that he had captured Yangcheng County, and at the same time asked Zhang Shenyan to enter the city with him. Zhang Shenyan believed that since these bandits captured the city, there must be a period of burning, killing and looting. But I never thought that Zhang Shun's team would have no idea.

It turned out that the soldiers recruited by Zhang Shun were all good people. Although they were not trained, they were not infected by the behavior of "rebellious soldiers". In addition, Zhang Shun hated out-of-control behavior, and he actually developed a completely different army.

As the saying goes: thieves pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate. This comb refers to a comb, and this grate is a comb with fine teeth, a tool used to remove lice from the hair. This means that when thieves come, they are scraped like a comb, while when officers and soldiers come, they are scraped like a grate. It is often used to illustrate the ruthlessness of thieves and officers and soldiers and the harm they cause to the people.

In such a comparison, Zhang Shun's army is simply the army of kings. Even Zhang Shenyan had to admit that Zhang Shun did have some tricks, and it was unknown whether he really had destiny.

After waiting for a day, "Purple Gold Liang" came over with a large number of thieves, and also took some crying people and women with them. Zhang Shun frowned when he saw it, but he couldn't say anything.

When the two met, "Zijinliang" laughed loudly and said: "The little brother really has a way. Brother Yu besieged Gaoping County and tried to fight twice but failed to defeat him. Instead, the little brother took the advantage. Brother Yu went first." Reward your brothers and I will talk to you later.”

As he spoke, he walked towards a house with a tall lintel in front of him. Zhang Shun quickly asked: "Second Master, what are you doing? Why are we going to someone else's house instead of going to the county government?"

"It's strange that your little brother is nicknamed 'Optimus Prime' but he is a eunuch. When the Sa family comes in, it is natural to comfort the family members for the owner of the family. You see, I am almost becoming 'Optimus Prime'." 2 The head of the house was a lewd monk. He entered the courtyard with a vulgar look on his face, and all kinds of sounds of chickens, dogs, and screams came from the house.

Zhang Shun spat with an expression of disgust on his face. Zhang Shenyan looked very strange in front of him, and wanted to persuade him, so he took the initiative to ask for the first time: "Aren't all thieves and bandits like this? As a bandit, why do you despise this kind of behavior?"

Zhang Shun pointed at the residents on the street with disdain and asked, "What is this?"

Zhang Shenyan didn't know what he was talking about, and said strangely: "They are just ordinary people, what else can they be?"

"Whose people are these?" Zhang Shun heard the words and said with a smile, "These are my people, they are just staying in the Zhu family for the time being. If it were not beyond my power, I would like to kill this thief to relieve the hatred in my heart. How can I live under someone else's roof? I have no choice but to do what Gou Jian did."

Zhang Shenyan was speechless after hearing this. "Zijinliang" is a bandit, and his behavior as a bandit is really hateful; but Zhang Shun, as a bandit, loves the people more than the officers and soldiers, and even directly regards the people as his subjects, and treats the Zhu family emperor as nothing, which is simply terrifying. . For a moment, he couldn't tell which kind of bandit made him more disgusted, but he was sure that Zhang Shun's kind of bandit made him want to get rid of him more quickly.

So, Zhang Shun had no choice but to return to the county government office by himself, took out the steel whip in his hand, and whipped twice against the doorpost of the county government office before walking into the courtyard with satisfaction. Zhang Shenyan followed, walked to the doorpost, looked at the two deep whip marks, and remained silent for a while.
