Please ask me to be the emperor

Sun Chuanting was busy across the river, and Zhang Shun didn't dare to be idle in Xi'an.

First, the results of the "Qin King's Imperial Examination" came out. Zhang Shun personally selected Wang Jiumu, a native of Liquan County, as the number one scholar and was awarded the post of magistrate of Xianyang County on trial.

Secondly, while Wang Qiaonian was handling the "Assassination of the King of Qin" case, he also specially recommended several talents to Zhang Shun.

The first one is Wang Qiaonian's "inmate", the former Shaanxi Supervisory Censor Qian Shoulian.

This man's name Zhang Shun made everyone applaud. In fact, this man was as upright as his name suggests, honest and loyal to his duties. His official reputation was very good, and his official position was also very interesting.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was established to handle impeachment and advising. It also had the left and right censors of the capital, the left and right deputy censors, and the left and right censors of the capital.

There are also thirteen supervisory censors, who are the seventh-rank officials and are in charge of supervision in different areas. They are called "circulatory censors", which are also commonly known as "eight-prefecture patrol censors".

The inspector censor is called "the emperor's patrol officer". He has a humble but powerful position. He is the main implementer of the supervisory system established based on the principle of "using the small to control the big and using the humble to control the high".

After Qian Shoulian arrived in Shaanxi, he worked hard to clarify local officials' governance and report on his achievements, regardless of rain or shine, which made Shaanxi official circles feel intimidated.

As a result, when the rebels came in, Qian Shoulian couldn't avoid it, so he was captured alive by the rebels and thrown into prison.

Zhang Shun originally prepared a piece of paper to recruit him, but Wang Qiaonian couldn't help but dissuade him: "This man is an upright person, unlike ordinary scholars."

"If King Shun can win over this person, it will be of great use to the officials in Shaanxi."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he thought it was true. This man was originally on patrol in Shaanxi and had a deep understanding of the region's ills, official customs and people's customs. If you wanted to govern Shaanxi, you would need help from someone like this.

So, regardless of his leg injury, he limped to the prison to visit Qian Shoulian under Wang Qiying's support.

When Zhang Shun walked into the prison, Qian Shoulian was lying leisurely in the prison.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile and said: "I came late, but I didn't want to make your husband suffer for a few more days."

"Who are you?" Qian Shoulian rolled his eyes at him, turned over and faced him with his back.

"You" Wang Qiying couldn't help but get furious when he saw this. Her husband-in-law came to see him before his leg injury healed, but he didn't pretend to be an uncle.

"Hey, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Zhang Shun quickly grabbed her and said with a smile, "I am King Shun. I would like to ask you to go out to inspect the lawlessness. Is that okay?"

"Successful thief? No, no, no!" Qian Shoulian said without turning around.

"What a thief! How dare you insult the King of Qin!" Wang Qiying couldn't bear it anymore. After hearing this, she took out the mace from her waist and opened the cell door to go in and give him a blow to the head.

"Don't do this. Ah!"

"Okay, okay, I'm obedient. Are you okay, King Shun?"

"It's okay, I'll bandage it again later!"

Qian Shoulian originally sat back and waited for death, but for a while there was no movement. Instead, there was an inexplicable conversation.

He couldn't help but turned his head strangely and saw that half of Zhang Shun's right leg was soaked in blood, and he was shocked.

He couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "King Shun Shun, what are you doing?"

"King Shun was stabbed in the leg by a thief in the morning. I originally advised him to rest in peace and recuperate today, but he said that he could wait, but the people of Shaanxi cannot wait! If I could invite you to inspect lawlessness, I don't know how many people would be saved. " Wang Qiying responded with tears in her eyes while bandaging Zhang Shun carefully.

"Ah? King Shun, you..." Qian Shoulian couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. "If the polite and virtuous servants in the world were like King Shun, wouldn't Qian die in the service?"

So, he quickly stood up and bowed to Zhang Shun.

"Easy to say, easy to say, sir, I have a sharp ear and a clear eyesight!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly limped to help Qian Shoulian.

"Hey, I don't dare, I don't dare!" Qian Shoulian was startled and quickly stood up to support Zhang Shun.

Not to mention how much Qian Shoulian was grateful, Zhang Shun had already ordered Wang Jinyi to take him to the post house to rest before taking office officially.

Then Zhang Shun smiled and said: "My wife is very cooperative. Let's move to another place and continue."

It turned out that although Zhang Shun suffered some injuries, they were just flesh wounds after all. After being bandaged, except for the pain of walking, there was no other problem.

Just because Zhang Shun was injured, several women around him came to see him.

He then came up with such a bad idea, filling a skin bag with some chicken blood and hiding it in his clothes. At the critical moment, he would squeeze out the blood and pretend that the wound was broken.

Such a courtesy to a corporal, even a hard-hearted person would be moved by it, right?

"Then where should we go next?" Wang Qiying's girly nature made it easy for her to follow Zhang Shun out to "play", but she still had some unfinished ideas.

"Let's go to Master Guanxi!" Zhang Shun smiled slightly, then went to a remote place to change into a pair of pants, and then led Wukong, Wang Qiying and others to Shi Shiran.

Who is this "Kansai Master"?

It turned out that this person's name was Zhu Wanling, a native of Xianning, Shaanxi Province, and a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli.

He once served as the magistrate of Baoding and the magistrate of Huangzhou. Later, he resigned and returned to his hometown to give lectures. Everyone called him the "Guanxi Master".

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he studied under Feng Congwu.

Who is Feng Congwu?

Feng Congwu was the first "Guanxi Confucian" and the master of Guan Studies in the Ming Dynasty who integrated Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and Lu Wang's Neo-Confucianism.

Not only was he the leader of the Donglin Party in the northwest, he also founded Guanzhong Academy in Xi'an.

His status in Xi'an is very different from Lu Weiqi's status in Heluo. They are both leaders in the literary world.

It's a pity that Feng Congwu passed away in the seventh year of Tianqi, so Zhang Shun had to do the next best thing and visit Feng Congwu's literary successor, Zhu Wanling.

When Zhang Shun arrived at Guanzhong Academy, Zhu Wanling was having a small gathering with several old friends.

Hearing that King Shun was coming to visit, Zhu Wanling couldn't help but said to everyone: "The thieves will definitely force me to become an official. If I don't obey, I will die now!"

"When I die, please bury me east of Changle Gate. I want to watch Master Wang annihilate the traitors with my own eyes!"

"Submissive thieves are going against the grain and humiliating the gentry, and they will perish sooner or later! Master, please keep it until you can be useful and be patient for a while!" An old man over sixty years old with beard and hair as white as snow couldn't help but persuade him.

"Easy to say, easy to say!" The "Guanxi Master" Zhu Wanling nodded and then left.

Not long after, he welcomed Zhang Shun into the main hall and couldn't help but smile: "I only have the scholarly atmosphere here and no money and land. Why did the King of Qin come here?"

When Zhang Shun heard this, he said, good fellow, this is a bad person.

He couldn't help but chuckle and said: "The world is in chaos and the people are miserable. Therefore, I came to ask Master for advice, how to govern the world so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the world can be unified?"

Zhu Wanling was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Zhang Shun would actually say such words to his face.

Everyone in Zhu Wanling's back room was also stunned when they heard this. How could this be like the question asked by the rumored "lecherous and cruel man who could crush people's brains"?
