Please ask me to be the emperor

With tens of miles of towers and thousands of lights, Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times.

When Zhang Shun arrived at Yangzhou City, it was already night, and he could intuitively feel the grand scene of "Ten miles of Yangzhou, lights are endless".

"Your Highness, you see, as the saying goes, 'The world is three-quarters bright and moonlit, and two-quarters rogue is Yangzhou', it refers to this place." Qian Qianyi couldn't help but act as a tour guide.

"Your Highness, don't forget that it is winter right now, with flowers and willows everywhere. It will be a different scene in spring."

"Yes!" Zhang Shun nodded when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look around. He saw that Yangzhou City is surrounded by hills to the north and the river to the south. There are pavilions and pavilions in the middle, surrounded by green water.

If it were spring at this time, it would definitely be a beautiful picture of Yangzhou’s scenery with fireworks in March.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

Look, it is precisely because of your participation that this prosperous history has avoided the destruction of the butcher's knife, the lights of thousands of houses here have not turned into flames of war, and there is also a missing alley called "Screw Knot".

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Just as Zhang Shun was sighing with emotion, Hong Chengchou had already led the city officials, salt merchants, and large households to welcome him out.

"Huh? Ha!" Zhang Shun came back to his senses, looked at this famous "big traitor" in history, nodded and smiled, "You did a good job, try not to disturb the people!"

"Wei Chen has already made arrangements. Now the stores in Yangzhou City have not closed, the people have not closed their homes, everything is as usual, everything is as usual!" Hong Chengchou replied quickly.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Zhang Shun nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the crowd, "I am raising an army for the common people. When I go to the city, I am not allowed to kill, loot, or commit adultery. If there is any violation, Anyone who rebels will be killed without mercy!"

"We also ask everyone to live and work in peace and contentment and not to be disturbed by military affairs."

"Your Highness, the Holy Ming!" The officials, salt merchants and big households in the city couldn't help but be overjoyed and worshiped hurriedly, "But to have such a holy king is a blessing to us, a blessing to Yangzhou, and a blessing to the world."

"Now we have prepared a simple meal at Mingyue Tower, and we would like to invite His Highness to show his appreciation to the people of the city."

"Oh? That's great work then!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him quickly, almost to the dismay of everyone.

After three rounds of food and five tastes of wine, everyone was seventy or eighty percent drunk, and Zhang Shun was also a little tipsy.

At this time, a group of salt merchants actually wanted to go on a night trip to the West Lake. What the hell is the difference between this and later generations having a barbecue after a banquet, or singing karaoke after a barbecue?

Therefore, Zhang Shun refused categorically and said: "I am exhausted. I will not be able to accompany you today. Please take care of yourself!"

Then, under the stunned eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran left.

"This..." Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, with expressions of astonishment on their faces for a moment.

This country bumpkin really doesn’t understand anything!

It turned out that these officials, salt merchants and wealthy people had already found out about Zhang Shun's preference for women, so they invited famous prostitutes from the Qinhuai River to accompany him.

It's just that everyone made all the plans, but they never expected that Zhang Shun would not be able to leave at the critical moment.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Everyone couldn't help but spread their hands and stared at each other.

"Your Highness has a high status now, so why would you hire a prostitute?" Qian Qianyi finally suggested, "Why don't we pool our money and buy a heiress and give it to His Highness to play with."

"Even if we don't get what we want, as the saying goes: Don't be surprised if you give a favor to others. It also says: Don't hit someone with a smiling face, as long as we get what we want."

"Hey, don't tell me, this is really a solution!" After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but slap their thighs and nodded in agreement.

Not to mention what happened to everyone, Zhang Shun felt sleepy when he returned to the house and fell asleep.

While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who?" Zhang Shun asked impatiently.

"It's me, Master!" "Brother Monkey", ah no, Wukong's voice sounded outside.

"What's going on?"

"A female...succubus is sent from outside!"

"Well, let her in!" Zhang Shun originally didn't want to talk to him, but after thinking about it, the people he had so easily deceived supported him, and he couldn't show any displeasure at this time, so he agreed.

Then there was a "squeak" of the door, and someone pushed the door open and walked in, and then a clear voice sounded: "Your Highness, I...I'm here to take care of you...You rest..."

"Give me a glass of water!" Zhang Shun happened to feel a little thirsty and couldn't help but struggle.

"Yes!" The woman couldn't help but tremble, quickly stood up, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over on her knees.

Zhang Shun took a look under the light and saw that the woman was not very old, with a graceful figure and a pretty face. She was indeed a very beautiful woman.

"Zi Liu!" Zhang Shun drank the tea in one gulp, then pointed at the teapot and said, "Give me that!"

"Okay." The woman was stunned and quickly offered another teapot.

This pot of good tea has been sitting for a long time. Now it is neither hot nor cold, so it tastes just right.

So, Zhang grabbed it and had a mouth-to-mouth kiss with the fine purple sand teapot, tons, tons, tons!

"Ha!" Zhang Shun burped with satisfaction, then returned the teapot to her and said, "I'm impotent, just find a place to sleep by yourself later."

"When they ask tomorrow, you will say that I was very active and worked hard for half the night before I fell asleep. Do you understand?"

"..." The woman never expected that Zhang Shun would say such shocking words, and she was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that Zhang Shun was really lustful, but the distance from Fengyang to Yangzhou was 210 miles. In order not to delay the military situation, Zhang Shun did both.

I set off before dawn this morning and arrived in Yangzhou this evening. I was almost torn apart. How could I care about her?

In fact, if it weren't for appeasing this group of people, he wouldn't even want to participate in tonight's banquet.

As soon as Zhang Shun lay down there, he started snoring soon.

The woman felt unbearable shame and couldn't help crying secretly.

It turns out that this woman is not from Yangzhou, as Zhang Shun thought, but a real rich lady.

However, his family was in decline and his mother was bedridden, so he had no choice but to fall into the world of prostitution.

For them, serving someone for the first time is like a woman getting married, and it must be done with great ceremony.

And she also put on the red dress early, pretending that it was her wedding dress.

But she never expected that her "husband-in-law" would be such a person. Not only did he turn a blind eye to her appearance, but he was also a man who did nothing but indulge in evil affairs.

When she thought about having to devote herself to such a person for the rest of her life, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

I cried like this for most of the night, until I was exhausted, and then I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhang Shun woke up in high spirits, only to find someone lying next to the bed.

He put her on the bed, then gently closed the door and went out.

"Your Highness!" Qian Qianyi, Hong Chengchou and Liu Zeqing were waiting outside the door early.

"Yes!" Zhang Shun nodded and suddenly asked, "Where is the Yangzhou City Guard General Shi Kefa?"

Seeing Hong Chengchou, he couldn't help but think of Shi Kefa.

As the saying goes: Shi Jianliu's fax can be punished; Hong's kindness is not repaid but turned into revenge.

One of them is a capable official, the other is mediocre, and the other is a loyal minister. They are a completely opposite comparison group.

"The Shi Gebu is stubborn and has committed suicide." Hong Chengchou was stunned when he heard this and could not help but replied in a low voice.

"Oh?" Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but sigh.

This is why he knows the pines and cypresses when the weather is cold, and the fragrance of plum blossoms when the bitter cold comes. No prince is unfriended, and the emperor is unfaithful, so he is worthy of his pride!

"Your Highness?" Qian Qianyi couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw Zhang Shun's expression, and couldn't help but shout.

"Oh, let's give it a grand burial!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but responded lightly when he saw the expressions on everyone's faces and didn't know what they were thinking.

Some people are like a mirror, and only by looking at them face to face can people know how ugly they are.

Now Shi Kefa's mirror not only reflects Qian Qianyi and Hong Chengchou, but also how many people on the wall have been reflected?

It's a pity that Zhang Shun, as the monarch of one party, has long passed the age of being impulsive, so he has to ignore it for the time being.

Seeing that Zhang Shun did not pursue the matter further, Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, I have found out that the Guazhou Ferry south of Yangzhou is the perfect place to cross the river."

"Zhu Dadian abandoned the city and fled south, Zhu Dadian abandoned the city and fled south!" However, before Hong Chengchou finished speaking, a loud voice rang out, shocking everyone.

"What?"

"Your Highness Qizhuo, we just figured it out. When Zhu Dadian heard that the rebel army had captured Fengyang and Yangzhou, and took over important towns in the north of the Yangtze River, he was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled!" Some soldiers had already come forward to report.

It turned out that after the rebels occupied the capital, Chongzhen hanged himself at Meishan. The entire Ming Dynasty forces had many political affairs, fighting and arguing with each other. The people were distracted and the soldiers had no fighting spirit.

Now that Zhu Changzi and Yang Sichang are dead, and Zu Dalue, Zu Kuan, Liu Zeqing and others have defected to the rebel army, how can Zhu Dadian fight to the end without a king or ministers?

Therefore, he was frightened when he heard the news and ran away without fighting.
