Please ask me to be the emperor

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

As waves of retching sounded, Zhang Shun quickly poured two cups of tea, handed them to Bai and Kong respectively and said, "Come on, rinse your mouth, you'll get used to it."

Bullying! Bai and Kong glanced at Zhang Shun stubbornly, feeling aggrieved and sad in their hearts.

However, today is not only the "big day" for the two of them and Zhang Shun, but it is also the day when Bai is preparing to persuade Zhang Shun, so the two of them try their best to please Zhang Shun.

It's just that the two of them are extremely conservative people, and they don't do anything very well, and they don't take too much liberties with Zhou Gong's etiquette.

The two of them tossed for a long time, but Zhang Shun was still not satisfied, so they themselves leaked one after another.

"Come on, come and sit here!" Seeing the two of them rinse their mouths, Zhang Shun waved.

The two of them hesitated for a moment, then sat on Zhang Shun's lap, one on the left and the other on the right, and then placed their ears gently on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

Then, as if Zhang Shun didn't feel the warmth of this moment, he skillfully reached in with a pair of big hands.

"Don't...don't be like this, Your Highness..." Madam Bai and Kong Sizhen couldn't help resisting.

"Okay, stop pretending to be serious. You two are so proactive today. Do you have something to ask of me?" Zhang Shun suddenly asked with a serious look.

"Uh..." Madam Bai's heart trembled and she quickly said, "There is indeed something I want to advise His Highness."

"Oh? Tell me?" Zhang Shun was a little curious about what the two people asked him for.

"Your Highness started his army from Mengjin. He is a genius. In just a few years, he has conquered the world, defeated Mingjin, and occupied most of the country."

"Now is the time when the young man is proud and high-spirited. Why is he still unwilling to proclaim himself emperor?"

"Oh? Who asked you to ask this?" Zhang Shun's eyes narrowed and he asked without answering.

"Your Highness is joking. This little lady is new here. How do you know anyone?" Mrs. Bai was shocked when she heard this and quickly twisted her body and said.

"If you think about it carefully, it's just a little bit of the little woman's thoughts."

"In the past, we, mother and daughter, were still the same as Fu Jin and Ge Ge, no matter what. Now that I have followed His Highness, I can't say that I will be like Fu Jin and Ge Ge. It is estimated that the princess and the second concubine will not be able to take our turn. It will not sound good in the future."

"If His Highness ascends to the great treasure, at least we are both ninety-five supreme women, so we won't be looked down upon by others..."

"This... I'll tell you the truth, I guess it'll have to wait a while!" Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to talk a little more.

This... Your Highness, my concubine has something to say, I don’t know whether to say it or not? "Mrs. Bai hesitated for a moment and asked for instructions.

"Let's talk, let's just treat it like a husband and wife chatting." Zhang Shun looked at it openly and agreed directly.

"I don't know about concubines in other places, but if you want long-term peace and stability in Liaodong, you have to change the dynasty and establish a new name!" Zhang Shun originally wondered what emotions Mrs. Bai would express, but he never expected to say such words.

"How do you say this?" He couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, your Majesty, I have lived in Liaodong with my late husband for several years, and I am very familiar with the people of Liaodong." Mrs. Bai couldn't help but said seriously.

"Although the land east of Liao is the hometown of China, since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, it has been completely ruined and has become a place for barbarians."

"When Mingzu regained his homeland and returned to Liaodong, the people there were in chaos and not even one of them survived."

"The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty then used the method of guarding the country to move the people from Shandong to Liaodong to enrich their hometown."

"The law of Husband and Guard is inherited from generation to generation after the death of father and son. In just a few hundred years, they all become aristocratic families."

"The people of that generation collected acres of land in the interior and made meritorious deeds in the exterior. They were called generals, and they separated themselves from each other and did not rule over the feudal lords."

"When Wanli planned to use the eunuch Gao Huai to control him, many people defected to the Jurchens. This was the beginning of the Liao Dynasty."

"Is it like this?" Zhang Shun subconsciously stopped what he was doing when he heard Mrs. Bai telling stories about the past.

Now Zhang Shun, as a powerful leader, would naturally not believe Wanli's words that he had lost his mind and sent his cronies to mess up Liaodong.

After being reminded by Madam Bai, Zhang Shun suddenly realized one word: internal and external collusion!

"However, no one expected that after the old slave became powerful, he would turn around and slaughter the Han people, so this is the story of Dongjiang." Sure enough, only Mrs. Bai continued to preach.

"When the old slave died and Mrs. Hong came to the throne, in order to win over the Han people in Liaodong, she made her husband and others kings. The people of Liao became more attached, and the Dongjiang River declined."

After hearing this, Zhang Shun finally understood the basic context of the Liaodong Rebellion.

It turns out that the presence of guard posts all over the border areas directly led to the rise of Liaodong military landlords.

The rise of the Liaodong military landlords naturally eliminated the Ming court's control over the area.

In order to strengthen his control, Emperor Wanli sent his confidant Gao Huai to Liaodong.

As a result, I don't know whether it was Gao Huai's lack of personal ability or the fact that Liaodong was already hard to return to, but it caused the military meritorious landlords in Liaodong to turn to the old slave who controlled the Jianzhou Guard. This was the reason why the old slave raised an army with the "Seven Hatreds".

This is also the main reason why the Liaodong soldiers, with the Liaodong Guard as the main body, are always in a passive position when facing Lao Nu's Jianzhou soldiers.

"Madam, what do you mean, if you want to compete for Liaodong, you must compete for the support of the Liaodong clan?" Zhang Shun frowned and couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness is indeed very smart, and you can tell with just one point!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai first complimented Zhang Shun, and then smiled.

"Nowadays, the two kingdoms of Ming and Jin are both stinking in the eyes of the Liaodong clan. It's just that they have no other choice, so they have no choice but to swallow their anger."

"If His Highness sets up his own banner to attract Liao people, everyone in Liaodong will win food and follow him, and how will it be a good idea to raise money?"

After hearing this, Zhang Shun finally understood what Mrs. Bai meant.

To put it bluntly, due to years of grievances, neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Later Jin Dynasty was a good bird in the eyes of the Liaodong clan.

If the rebels continue to fight under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, they will not benefit from it but suffer from it.

In this case, otherwise Zhang Shun would directly proclaim himself emperor and cut off the previous dynasty, which would be conducive to winning over the people of Liaodong.

Of course, Mrs. Bai was talking about Liaodong, but if she extended it to the whole world, it would not be different.

The fundamental reason why one family and one surname can rule the world until the end of the dynasty is that it is difficult to recover and the ills are reborn.

If you want to rebuild the foundation and regain peace, you have to go to war and clean up the world.

Previously, Zhang Shun made many compromises in order to unite all the forces that could be united and develop and strengthen himself as soon as possible to fight against the rising Houjin side.

Now that the world is about to be settled, it is time to prepare to recover some of these compromises.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile and said: "My lady is right. When the Liao Dynasty comes, I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor. You will be indispensable as a concubine."

"What about me? What about me?" Kong Sizhen saw that she was not as good as her "old and senile" aunt, so she couldn't help but asked unconvinced.

"You? Just call her Jieyu!" Zhang Shun couldn't help teasing her when he saw her suddenly showing off her little daughter's attitude.

"Why is she just a Jieyu!" The little girl was unhappy.

"Because the lady's skin is like jade, and the girl's flowers are like brocade!" Zhang Shun chuckled, and pressed them under him amidst the two people's exclamations.
