Please ask me to be the emperor

When Zhang Shun rushed back to Prince Qin's Mansion, there was someone who had been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Shun pushed the door open and was startled.

I saw that the man was only about thirty years old. He was dressed in shabby clothes and had a determined expression, as if he wanted to kill or behead him.

Zhan Shei, also known as Zhan Fu, is a mourning dress, and it is the heaviest among the five mourning clothes.

The ancients attached great importance to filial piety and divided mourning clothes during mourning into five types.

They are Zhan Fu, Qi Fu, Dagong, Xiao Gong and Qi Ma.

Among them, the cut is made of the thickest raw linen cloth, with the broken edges exposed.

The top of mourning clothes is called "Shai", because it is called "Zhan Shai", which is used to express grief without any modification, and it lasts for three years.

Of course, Zhang Shun also wore it when his parents passed away.

This thing is very rough. It is said to be linen, but in fact it is almost like wearing armor. It is very torturous.

According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, the son and his parents both died for three years.

That is to say, as long as their parents die, everyone has to wear this thing for three years.

And he cannot be an official, cannot take scientific examinations, cannot have sex with women, cannot drink and have fun, etc.

The theoretical basis is that after a child is born, he must be in the arms of his parents for three years before he can walk freely. Therefore, when his parents pass away, he must observe filial piety for three years to repay his parents for their kindness in raising him.

Isn’t this the ancient version of formalism?

Because it is too cumbersome and time-consuming, it is not strictly implemented among ordinary people.

A filial son like Zhang Shun abandoned Zhan Sheng early after running away.

In fact, if calculated strictly, it would take twenty-seven months to be in mourning.

Calculating carefully, Zhang Shun has been rebelling for so many years, and he has just passed the mourning period.

Where did Li Zicheng find a filial son for himself? Zhang Shun felt strange and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what you call your Excellency? Where do you live? What do you do for a living?"

"People from Qianzhou in the suburbs of Song Dynasty have seen His Highness the King of Qin!" The man said with a look of surprise on his face, and bowed to Zhang Shun in a decent manner.

"I don't know. I wonder who in the family died, causing this?" Zhang Shun didn't intend to ask about this.

It's just that this man is wearing a bad clothes, so he can't pretend to be blind, right?

"My mother is gone!" Song Qijiao couldn't help crying when he heard this, "Why do you have such disregard for human relations?"

"I have been alone since I was a child. Only one mother in my family raised me up."

"I was shocked to hear the bad news three months ago. I traveled two thousand miles to mourn. I just had my mother hastily buried, and they are forcing me like this!"

"Ah? Don't cry, don't cry, brother Song, what is going on?" Zhang Shun said awkwardly while comforting Song Qijiao, who was crying.

It turned out that this "adventurous general" Li Zicheng took the initiative to volunteer. After being appointed by Zhang Shun as the envoy to clean up the farmland, he worked with Li Guo and Liu Zongmin every day, and his life was very happy.

But after several lives were lost, counselor Gu Junen couldn't help but sit still.

He quickly admonished: "Since ancient times, the Heavenly Family is ruthless and the emperors are unrighteous!"

"Although King Shun promised to be a general, a prince, and a prince, if he does too many things, he will lose his life."

"What if King Shun has a soft ear and the general is slandered by a villain and the friendship between brothers is ruined?"

What ruined the friendship between the brothers? In fact, Gu Junen was just reminding Li Zicheng, what if King Shun couldn't suppress this matter and turned around and "sold us"?

"Then that's not possible, right?" Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment, and was a little undecided. "Although King Shun has granted me the title of prince, how can I convince the public if I don't make some contributions?"

"Originally, during the northern expedition to Yulin, I wanted to achieve some military exploits, but as a result, Yulin and Ningxia surrendered one after another, leaving my general useless!"

“If you’re not even willing to do some of the ‘dirty work’, it becomes even more useless.”

Of course Gu Junen knew this very well. If it was really "increasingly useless", then King Shun's guarantee would definitely not work.

He frowned, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but offer a plan: "Actually, I have a plan that will definitely please King Shun and give the general a voice to speak with!"

"You mean, are you looking for a beautiful woman to present to me?" Li Zicheng opened his mouth and obviously had been thinking about it for a long time.

"Now King Shun has so many beauties around him and so many wives and concubines, why is there no need for you, a big boss, to pick and choose?" Gu Junen couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"According to my opinion, King Shun is now very thirsty for talents. Why don't we find a great talent to offer him, so that we can build a good relationship?"

"Hey, this is good, instead of tying up beauties and tying up scholars!" Liu Zongmin and Zhang Shun have the same problem, they repel the same sex, so they don't agree with Li Zicheng's "beauty trap", but they are quite fond of Gu Junen's "talent trap" Heart.

"Now we are thieves and they are officials. Even if King Shun has great reputation, we can't get anyone. How can we ask for talents to offer to King Shun?" Li Zicheng frowned when he heard this.

"This is easy to hear!" Gu Junen couldn't help but laugh, "A few days ago when the generals were harassing people, I heard that there was a 'Wenquxing' in Qianzhou. In the first year of Chongzhen, he won the Jinshi and was awarded the post of official promotion in Yangzhou by the imperial court."

In fact, this Yangzhou official was the same as the Song official who was rescued by Song Xiance when Zhang Shun was rescued. They were Zhizhou Zuo Erguan, the seventh rank, in charge of criminal names and praise plans.

In Zhang Shun's view, this kind of official was already a small official with a "big sesame size". However, to Li Zicheng and others who lacked civil servants and staff, they were indeed "Wenquxing".

"This man has a very good reputation, high literary talent, and is a first-class talent!" Gu Junen continued, "It happened that his mother died a few months ago, and Ding You was at home, so it was perfect for King Shun to take her!"

"That's fine, then I'll trouble Military Master Gu to make this trip!" Li Zicheng nodded in agreement upon hearing this and couldn't help but bow.

Nima, do you think I am Song Xiance, that thief?

When Gu Junen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This person is beyond my words. I have to trouble the general to leave so that there is a glimmer of hope."

Isn't this nonsense? They are in mourning. Who can say anything?

As a result, Li Zicheng surrounded Qianzhou City on the suggestion of the dog-headed military advisor Gu Junen.

He threatened: "But if we get someone from Song Dynasty, we won't massacre the city; if not, we will fight in and the chickens and dogs will be restless!"

Good guy, all the officials in Qianzhou have long since fled, and the people in Qianzhou are ignorant and do not understand the situation.

Suddenly, all over Hezhou, old, young, women and children filled the streets and alleys, and knelt down in front of the Song Mansion.

Song Qijiao tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

Early the next morning, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to open the city gate alone and surrender to the "obedient thieves".

After Li Zicheng obtained the Qijiao of Song Dynasty, he felt as if he had found a treasure, so he quickly sent people to deliver it at high speed, so that what happened today happened.

After listening to Song Qijiao's cry, Zhang Shun couldn't help but dumbfounded.

To be honest, Li Zicheng's operation was indeed unethical, and it also tarnished his reputation.

It's just that now that he is doing the dirty work for himself, it's not easy to blame him harshly.

However, this person has already come, can he still be driven back?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This thief just doesn't know how to do good things. Don't worry, I will punish him severely when he comes back!"

"As for you, now that you're here, you'll be in peace!"

"Who doesn't have parents and brothers? Brother Song is indeed sad, but it is even more sad that millions of people in Xi'an now have no parents and officials and no overnight food!"

"In this case, why doesn't Brother Song regain his love and serve me as the governor of Yaozhou, which can also be regarded as benefiting the people of this area?"

Song Qijiao had been frightened by Li Zicheng for a long time. How could he dare to say no?

However, neither Zhang Shun, Li Zicheng nor Song Qijiao knew that he was also besieged by Li Zicheng in the original history and was not allowed to "become a thief". In the end, he became the Minister of the Dashun Li Government, ranking only in Tianyou Pavilion University. Beneath the Bull Venus.

Now that he has gone round and round, he still has not escaped this "catastrophe".

This is really a trick of fate, and things in the world are unpredictable!
