Please ask me to be the emperor

"Your Majesty, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Jiliao, Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Shen Shikui, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, have surrendered. The overall situation in Liaodong has been decided, and the situation in the world is as stable as Mount Tai!" Zhang Shun reported to Zhu Changxun in the Qianqing Palace in a deep voice.

"The rebels Yang Sichang and Zhu Dadian have been defeated by our army Hong Chengchou. They fled Shandong and Damingfu, Linqing and other places were occupied by our army."

"Only Kaifeng Mansion cannot be attacked for the time being. I have ordered Governor Zhang and Han Lin to speed up the casting of 10,000 kilograms of red cannons. It is expected that it will be conquered in a short time."

"Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, is loyal to the former Ming Dynasty. He refused to surrender and started a rebellion. I have ordered Hong Chengchou's troops to continue the conquest!"

As Zhang Shun reported one by one, more and more signs emerged that the rebels had basically completed the cleaning work near Beizhili and had completely taken control of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, okay, King Shun is really like a god with his troops. Even a young man is invincible!" After hearing this, Zhu Changxun couldn't help but feel pleased and worried at the same time.

What I like is that my position is stable and no one can label me as a "rebel" anymore.

What I was worried about was whether Zhang Shun, a true "rebel", would chop himself into pieces when he saw that he was of no use.

"It's all thanks to your majesty's wisdom, prowess, and skillful command that the humble minister has achieved certain small results!" Zhang Shun didn't think much about it, and said a few words modestly.

However, he did not see that the cabinet ministers Zhang Zhifa, Huang Shijun, He Fengsheng and Kong Zhenyun were silent when they heard the words.

We are all smart people, and we all know some things without saying them.

When the business was over, everyone went down to court.

Zhang Zhifa suddenly said to the left and right: "It's my birthday today. I wonder if the three of you can sit down and sit down with me?"

"No, no, I have something to deal with today, so I have to excuse myself!" The other three were frightened when they heard this and quickly refused.

Seeing how cowardly everyone was, Zhang Zhifa had no choice but to shake his head and go all the way.

Not to mention what Zhifa was thinking about, let us say that Hongguang Emperor Zhu Changxun finally managed to retire from the court.

Seeing that all his ministers were retreating, he was about to go back to Dongnuang Pavilion to have a good time. Unexpectedly, an old eunuch suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang, wants to see you!"

"Him? See you or not!" Zhu Changxun waved his hands quickly.

"Your Majesty, as I am a concubine, you'd better meet me!" Just when Zhu Changxun flatly refused, the queen suddenly spoke to persuade her.

"This" Zhu Changxun hesitated after hearing this, but finally shook his head and refused, "Forget it, it's better not to see you!"

"Your Majesty, everyone is here, why don't you want to meet?" The queen frowned and couldn't help but gestured to the inner room.

As soon as the queen said this, Shi Shiran, a white-faced and beardless man, walked out of the inner room.

Zhu Changxun was stunned when he saw this, and couldn't help but stamp his feet and said: "You are trying to kill me!"

"Your Majesty, except for the four of us, no one else knows about this slave coming this time!" Cao Huachun couldn't help but explain quickly.

"Okay, I've already seen you, so what's the point of talking about this?" Zhu Changxun shook his head and asked, "Since you want to see me so much, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the 'submissive thieves' are reckless people with wild ambitions. Every time I hear about this, my slaves sigh!" Cao Huachun couldn't help but said excitedly after hearing this.

"Since he entered the capital, he has become extremely powerful. He openly regards himself as the emperor and has never paid attention to your majesty."

"Now that we have captured and surrendered the three towns of Ji, Liao and Dongjiang, we have cleaned up the nobles and relatives of our dynasty, and their status has become as stable as Mount Tai."

"If you don't take action now, Your Majesty will be harmed sooner or later!"

"Now I have selected more than ten eunuchs and maids, and they are practicing in secret. They are going to be sent to you in the near future. I will replace all of His Majesty's left and right."

"But when the 'Shun Thief' comes to visit one day, we will take the opportunity to attack and capture and kill this animal in one fell swoop to sacrifice to the 15th Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"What? Don't try to harm me!" Zhu Changxun was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help hurriedly waving his hands, "That's good, that's good. All major national affairs are entrusted to King Shun, and I can enjoy my leisure time."

"All the ministers want to fight to the death, why would your Majesty surrender first?" Cao Huachun couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"Could it be...does His Majesty still want to sell the old slave and others?"

"Ah? How could it be possible? How could it be possible?" Zhu Changxun rubbed his hands after hearing this, feeling a little embarrassed.

Originally, he really wanted to sell Cao Huachun and the others so as not to implicate himself.

As a result, now that Cao Huachun had revealed it, he quickly denied it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Cao Huachun knew Zhu Changxun's worries and couldn't help but comfort him, "I have already found out."

"Although the 'Shun Thief' has done a great job, he is actually alone and has no uncles or brothers to help him."

"As long as this person is killed, Your Majesty will only punish the perpetrators and never ask for threats. When the hundreds of thousands of troops return to the country, Your Majesty will be a figure like Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and Gaozong of the Song Dynasty!"

"This... this matter needs to be discussed in the long term... considered in the long term!" Zhu Changxun said uneasily.

Zhu Changxun had already remembered Zhang Shun's ruthlessness and cunning, so how could he dare to respond to him at this moment?

Cao Huachun and the queen repeatedly tried to persuade him. Seeing Zhu Changxun's hesitation, they couldn't help but become angry for a moment.

"In this case, Your Majesty, don't blame the slave for being disrespectful!" Cao Huachun couldn't help but sneered, and then called three or five strong maids, and only tied up Zhu Changxun.

"This... what should I do if I go to court tomorrow morning and His Majesty is missing?" The Queen couldn't help but be frightened when she saw this, and asked quickly.

"It doesn't matter!" Cao Huachun said calmly, "If His Majesty still refuses to change his mind, Your Majesty, please send someone to say that Your Majesty has something important to discuss and invite King Shun to come over and discuss it!"

"As long as he dares to come, I will take action!"

"Ah? What if he doesn't dare to come?" The queen almost cried.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't dare to come. This time, the empress sent dead soldiers. If he refuses, we will take the risk of assassinating him!" Cao Huachun sneered.

"If this matter succeeds, I will request to return to the mountains and forests; if this matter fails, I will bear all the responsibility and will have nothing to do with Your Majesty or Your Majesty!"

"Then...then I and Your Majesty's wealth and life will be entrusted to you!" The queen couldn't help but bowed deeply.

Not to mention what Cao Huachun planned, and after going to court, Zhang Shun naturally understood that he was on the eve of victory, and even a thousand or ten thousand cautions would not be too much.

Therefore, he asked Liu Yinggui to send manpower early to keep an eye on the movements of Zhang Zhifa, Huang Shijun, He Fengsheng and Kong Zhenyun.

"Your Highness, the ministers sent men to keep an eye on these four people. Unexpectedly, after these four people went to court, they went home straight away. There was nothing unusual!" Liu Yinggui was reporting to Zhang Shunhui.

"Be cautious in everything, keep an eye on these people!" Zhang Shun nodded and reminded calmly.

The suspicious forces outside the capital have surrendered one after another, and the nobles and civil servants inside the capital have been dealt with by themselves. They must not be willing to accept defeat!

A great man from the past once said, “Clean the house before you treat guests”!

This time, the "house" has been thoroughly cleaned by myself, and it's time for the guests to arrive.

"Wei Chen understands!" Liu Yinggui nodded when he heard this and said firmly.
