Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1670 New Year’s Eve

The rustling snow reflected the slightly white night sky.

In the stillness of the night, the sound of footsteps was particularly harsh.

Groups of ghostly figures emerged from the Dizai Gate and Fusheng Gate.

These two gates are both the Shenyang North Gate of Shengjing, and are also called the Small North Gate and the Great North Gate respectively. They are the only way to the Pinglu Fort area of ​​the North Gate.

"Master Belle, not far ahead is the trench of the 'Shun Bandits'!" At this moment, a man who looked like a general pointed to one of them at the rebel camp.

"Well, be careful and sneak over!" The leader nodded after hearing this.

After receiving the order, everyone couldn't help but hold their horses in their mouths and quietly move towards the rebel ditch.

"Whoops, whoops!" Along with a slight sound of feet falling on the snow, Jin Jingrui quickly came to the front of the team.

"Enemy attack!" However, before Jin Bing could make any move, a high-pitched cry resounded through the night sky.

"Asshole, we've been discovered, shoot the arrow quickly!" The leader was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but ordered quickly.

Although the sentry on the high platform was quickly shot to death by random arrows, it also alerted the rebel army. For a while, countless soldiers rushed out of the camp and counterattacked the Jin soldiers.

But while the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, far away in the capital, there was a lot of joy and laughter, and it was very lively.

Every household posted Spring Festival couplets and lit firecrackers, and the joy of the festival was everywhere.

"Pingyang Mansion collected a total of 890,000 dan in taxes, and still owes 113,672 dan."

"Baoding, Damingfu and other places were hit by disasters. Please apply for money and food exemptions."

"A letter from Hong Chengchou, claiming that there are insufficient artillery and gunpowder to conquer Xuzhou, and applying for the deployment of 20 "Qingtian General Cannons" and 50,000 kilograms of gunpowder."

Accompanied by the clear and gentle voice of Zhang Zhoutian and Zhu Sinu, the reports came one after another.

"Let's note down the Pingyang Mansion for the time being and send someone to verify it next year. If we really can't afford it, we'll exempt them all; if someone delays it maliciously, we'll punish him with the law!" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, then dealt with it all.

"Baoding and Daming suffered from military disasters, right? This year's money and food will be exempted, but local officials at the county and county levels must recruit refugees as soon as possible and resume production. Not only will next summer's food be paid in full, but people will also be sent to verify it."

"Hong Chengchou, don't worry for now. Now we are sending troops everywhere, asking for food, wages, artillery, gunpowder and other equipment."

"First, give him ten of the 'Qingtian Grand Cannon' and five thousand kilograms of gunpowder. Let him raise some of the rest by himself, and the court will make up for it later."

"Yes!" When the girls heard this, they quickly wrote and wrote, each of them approved the sparse calf in their hands.

"Ha~" Tian Xiuying couldn't help but yawned at this moment, and quickly stretched out her hand to cover it.

"What's wrong, are you tired?" Zhang Shun found that candles had been lit in the room and asked in surprise.

"Yes, a little bit." Tian Xiuying responded with a blushing face. For a moment, she felt sore and exhausted all over her body.

"Let's do this. You guys go down and have a rest first, and I'll approve the rest myself!" Zhang Shun looked at the exhausted girls and said unbearably.

"Ah, how can this be done?" Zhang Yan quickly answered after hearing this, "There are not many left, how about we work harder and approve it together?"

She is older than the other girls, so she is sleepier than the others.

However, no matter how hard and tiring she was, she did not want to lose the little power she had in her hands.

The experiences of the past few months have made her realize that she and others are not irreplaceable.

In fact, if Zhang Shun allowed women such as Hong Niangzi, Li Xiang, and Gao Guiying to intervene, the efficiency might be much faster than it is now.

However, if he didn't, she naturally didn't want to give him the idea of ​​adding a "new person".

"No need, it's the Chinese New Year, can I still make you guys lie down when you're tired?" Zhang Shun smiled, shook his head and said, "I have them all, including the female officers, you can all take a rest. I'm the king." Give you a holiday!"

It turns out that Zhang Shun's team, in addition to Zhang Zhoutian and Zhu's fourth daughter, is also followed by a group of "thin horses" previously collected from various nobles. There are about thirty people, who have been engaged in the most basic copywriting, calculation and other work.

"Ah, this." When the girls heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and they hesitated for a moment.

"It's New Year's Eve. Everyone else is dressed up beautifully. Are you going to have New Year's Eve dinner just like this?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but ask again.

"Then I thank Your Highness for your kindness!" After hearing this, the girls no longer hesitated and quickly bowed deeply to Zhang Shun.

Seeing the girls filing out, Zhang Shun couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

Nowadays, I really look like an unscrupulous boss, making people work overtime every day without getting overtime pay!

Immediately, he stood up and stretched his arms and legs, then picked up the porridge neatly placed on the desk, and continued to review.

These jobs are dull and boring, and there are many traps hidden in the words that quote from classics. If you are not careful, you will be tricked.

Of course, a wise man will always make mistakes. Even if he is cheated, it is nothing.

But since then, I am afraid that the people and officials involved will suffer unreasonable disasters.

In the light case, the family is destroyed and the clan is destroyed; in the serious case, the whole country is starved to death.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Wu Hou Zhuge Liang.

People always criticized him for being so hands-on that he became sick from overwork and died young.

However, when he really took charge, he realized that the whole world was watching you with eager eyes. If you slack off even a little bit, they would pounce on you and bite you.

They plot your money, your rights, your land, your people, and everything you have.

As the old saying goes: He who is wiser than ten thousand people is called a hero, a person who is smarter than a thousand people is called a handsome person, a person who is smarter than a hundred people is called a hero, and a person who is smarter than ten people is called a hero.

However, are there more than just tens of thousands of enemies?

No matter what the world is like, just under the rule of the rebel army, there are probably tens of millions of people.

Facing so many "opponents", how do you let him slack off?

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Shun finally finished approving all the comments, and Zhang Shun couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

He was determined to check it again, but seeing the mountains of documents in front of him, he finally gave up.

"Gao Qiqian, Gao Qiqian, send people to distribute all these sparse pigs and save them for execution tomorrow!" Zhang Shun couldn't help shouting.

"Your Highness is confused. Today is New Year's Eve. The six departments have already taken a break. The ministers have to finish the first day of the new year as soon as possible!" Gao Qiqian rubbed his eyes and couldn't help laughing.

"Oh?" Zhang Shun finally realized that all the ministers in the court had taken annual leave. Unless there were urgent matters, they would not be disturbed to rest.

"Okay then, let's have a good New Year!" Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look in all directions.

There, there, and there!

Maybe except for the ocean in the east, the north, west and south are all using troops?

"Report, the Queen has a decree, please go to Qianqing Palace to discuss it!" However, just when Zhang Shun was filled with emotion and ready to spend a good year in peace, a young eunuch suddenly rushed over in a hurry.

"Why are you panicking?" Zhang Shun frowned and asked quickly.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is ill!" The young eunuch answered quickly after hearing this.

"What?" Zhang Shun and Gao Qiqian were shocked when they heard this.

It turns out that according to the customs of this era, there is a ceremony of "giving gifts to Zhengdan on the first day of the Lunar New Year".

At the third quarter of Yinshi, the officials who stayed in the capital will go to the Qianqing Palace to congratulate the current "Holy Emperor".

Originally, all this was arranged according to the old routine, but Zhang Shun never expected that something would go wrong at the critical moment.
