Please ask me to be the emperor

"Please sit down!" Zhang Shun motioned to Huang Daozhou and handed him the tea.

Huang Daozhou looked at Zhang Shun in silence, and he frowned as he didn't even have a maid to bring tea and water.

I have heard that Wang Mang's great hypocrisy appears to be true, his great traitor appears to be loyal, and his great evil appears to be good. I thought the ancients were exaggerating, but only now do we know that such things exist in the world!

"I heard Mr. Kong say that you want to see me, but what's the matter?" Zhang Shun couldn't bear the red tape. Seeing that the two parties had decided to sit down as host and guest, he asked directly.

"Uh..." Huang Daozhou didn't expect that Zhang Shun would go straight to the point, and he was almost stopped by Zhang Shun.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and carefully considered his words before speaking: "Your Highness, as an important minister of the imperial court, you always keep your word. Why do you sit back and watch His Majesty act ridiculously and rob your subordinates like this?"

"Who said that I am just sitting back and ignoring you?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head when he heard this and said, "This fact was brought about by me alone!"

Huang Daozhou was stunned when he heard this and almost didn't react.

"So, His Highness is going to make enemies of the world?" Huang Daozhou couldn't help suppressing the anger that was rising in his chest, and asked loudly.

What a thief, he actually confessed, he must be emboldened!

"People from all over the world?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. "In the Far West, there is a group of people who claim to be God's servants. But in the end, they use the name of God to do human selfishness."

"Similarly in the Far East, there is also a group of people like this. They keep saying that everyone in the world is like this."

"Actually, it's just a matter of deceiving the superiors and deceiving the inferiors. Do you think I'm right?"

"You, you." Huang Daozhou almost vomited blood because of Zhang Shun's words. He couldn't help but pointed at Zhang Shun with trembling hands and insulted, "Smooth words can make you a shameless person; clever words can make you look shameless!"

"Hmph, apart from cursing like a shrew, can it be that the dignified Mr. Shi Zhai can't even say a word of defense?" Zhang Shun stood up and asked disdainfully.

"Am I like a shrew?" Huang Daozhou couldn't help but laugh angrily, "I'm afraid your highness has been a robber for a long time and doesn't understand the rules in the court. Even if you are allowed to copy them, what will happen?"

"When Emperor Chongzhen was at the time, he raided the eunuchs. Li Yongzhen had 290,000 yuan, Tian Ergeng had 180,000 yuan, Cui Chengxiu had 70,000 yuan, Xu Zhiji had 30,000 yuan, and Gu Bingqian donated another 30,000 yuan. Except for Wei Zhongxian, the amount was unknown. Just one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"This is just a small amount, and it is just a way for the ruling and opposition parties to sell the new emperor face."

Good guy, if it doesn’t make sense, I’m threatening you now!

It turns out that there are rules in the court, and the so-called geese are plucking their feathers.

In the past, when the "eunuch party" was at its peak and its power was overwhelming, how much money could it be copied?

I advise you not to be ignorant, so as not to make wedding clothes for others!

Zhang Shun felt angry and funny. He shook his head and then said: "Last night when the female clerk came back, she reported to me that Hanlin, Yushi and others each copied five to seven thousand taels of silver. Officials with real power, such as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Personnel, each copied tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands taels, so how can we say it is less money?"

Just because Chongzhen couldn't make money from it doesn't mean that I can't make money from it.

The king has a "professional team". Li Zicheng is responsible for accurately identifying the rich and poor of the officials, Geng Zhongming is responsible for the intimidation, both soft and hard, and Liu Zongmin is responsible for the cruel torture. However, the king's female recorder is responsible for counting and storing it in the treasury, and finally Tian Xiuying and others are responsible for the identification Among them, the antique calligraphy, paintings and jewelry are of great value.

This is a mature "assembly line" that minimizes the "loss" in the middle.

"You, you." When Huang Daozhou heard this, he didn't know that this was a professional "bandit team." "I, I, I will kill you, the person who is causing harm to the country and the people!"

Zhang Shun never expected that this guy would scold him if he couldn't argue, and if he couldn't win, he would attack him.

If he were an ordinary emperor, he might have succeeded in this sneak attack.

But who is Zhang Shun?

He has been fighting almost every day since Meng Jin raised his army. Although his skill is far inferior to that of Wukong, Chen Changzhen and others, he can still deal with a Zodiac Zhou with ease.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Seeing Zodiac Zhou coming suddenly, Zhang Shun just threw the hot tea in his hand at his face and said: "I don't know if your face can withstand my king's good tea!"

Then Zodiac Week is not a tough guy, so how can he withstand the scalding hot tea?

Seeing Zhang Shun throw it at him, he quickly dodged it.

Only his hiding gave Zhang Shun a chance to breathe.

Zhang Shun suddenly jumped up, stepped forward and kicked Huang Daozhou on the chest, giving him a kick.

Huang Daozhou was about to get up, but Zhang Shun's foot knocked him down and made him unable to move.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" At this moment, Tian Xiuying's worried voice came.

It turned out that the girls had heard the movement in the front hall, but they were afraid of being caught.

After much deliberation, the only choice was to let Tian Xiuying, who was both civil and military, take the risk to check it out.

When Tian Xiuying arrived, it was when Zhang Shun was stepping on the zodiac.

Originally, Zhang Shun wanted to take the opportunity to punch a few times and vent his anger, but was interrupted by Tian Xiuying's punch, which made him less angry.

So, Zhang raised his feet and sneered: "If you can't speak, then scold, if you can't scold, then hit. What if you can't even be beaten?"

"I know all about these 'three axes'!"

"Let's go and let's see how I deal with you who deceive the king and humiliate the people. You have no king and no father. You are the biggest beetle of the country!"

"You really don't want to kill me?" Huang Daozhou was already ready to sacrifice, but he never expected that Zhang Shun would let him go.

"It's a pity to eat without meat!" Zhang Shun shook his head and issued an order to expel the guests.

"Then say goodbye!" Although Huang Daozhou didn't understand what Zhang Shun meant, he still bowed his hands and said goodbye.

"How is it? How was your discussion with His Highness?" Kong Zhenyun had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Huang Daozhou coming out, he couldn't help but ask.

This is a Zodiac Zhou who was evaluated by Chongzhen as "who only has a conceited mouth in his lifetime of knowledge." Kong Zhenyun inevitably had some expectations in his heart.

Huang Daozhou shook his head silently, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

After a long while, he added: "If the 'Shun...Shun thief' is a reasonable person, nothing will happen; if he is an unreasonable person, even if he has a lotus tongue, what can he do?"

As for the scandal that made him speechless, made him angry, and even made him take action, but he didn't make any money in the end, he didn't mention it at all.

"Alas!" Kong Zhenyun sighed and said for no reason, "This time I donated ten thousand taels..."

"Lao Gaoyi!"

"No, I mean King Shun took the lead in donating one hundred thousand taels this time." Kong Zhenyun shook his head and said.

"About 60,000 to 70,000 taels of them came from the inner treasury, and the remaining 30,000 to 40,000 taels were made up of gold and silver jewelry and scattered silver taels."

"There is only one or two thousand taels short of this, so I shamelessly borrowed some more from a few ministers and guards, and then I barely made up the money..."

…

Huang Daozhou finally understood the reason for Kong Zhenyun's entanglement.

Compared with the emperors Wanli and Tianqi who spent all day collecting money, Zhang Shun was as clean as a holy king.

Logically speaking, if he reaches his status and status, no one can say anything about how he can easily put hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver into his pocket.

But he really doesn’t want a penny, he is simply worse than Hai Rui!

"Hmph!" After a long silence, Huang Daozhou didn't say any more disrespectful words except a cold snort to show his disdain.

Not long after, the two of them walked to the Meridian Gate one after another.

Unexpectedly, there was a crowd of people surrounding the Meridian Gate, all of them angry and cursing.

"Are these prison students?" Huang Daozhou recognized the identities of these people at a glance.

"Yes, you are a prison student, so I can only send you here." Kong Zhenyun shook his head and said.

It turns out that the students and supervisors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were extremely restless. Not only did they often participate in political discussions and criticize people, but they also wrote letters and complained about grievances at every turn.

Among them, Fu Dingchen and Xue Zongyiyiganren, who have been imprisoned by Ding Qirui, are typical examples.

"It's such a bloody storm. I don't know if King Shun can withstand it if he continues to go his own way!" Huang Daozhou shook his head, reminded Kong Zhenyun in a pointed way, and then Shi Shiran left.
