Please ask me to be the emperor

At Piaomiao Peak in the West Mountain, yellow flies are coming in the wind, and I can see the lake water and the boats lying across it.

Suddenly, a ballad came from far away: "Sing the first song, Taihu Lake is good, the spring breeze blows on the face, there is no frost, the lake is clear and has no waves; the second song, Taihu Lake is good, the whitebait and white shrimp are delicious, open your belly and eat full." "

However, as he listened, he burst into tears.

The ship was not a fishing boat, but a warship plying the sea;

The song was not originally a Wu song, but was changed to the tune of a Liaodong ballad.

The fisherman was not a fisherman, but an elite member of the Dengzhou Navy.

He looked at the huge warship that was difficult to maneuver, and couldn't help but said to himself: "This is really a dragon swimming in shallow water, and a tiger falling into the sun. It's pitiful that for my ability, I will end up on an island and die of old age. How sad!"

Just when he was sad for spring and autumn, and lamenting endlessly, he suddenly saw a small boat coming from the east, and then a sentinel boat stopped it.

The two sides negotiated for a while, and then the sentinel boat led the small boat straight to Xishan Island.

Huang Fei was stunned when he saw this, and then he couldn't help but said overjoyed: "Could it be that the court is thinking of Mr. Huang? Hurry, help me bathe and change clothes, I want to welcome the envoy!"

"Hoo!" Chen Zilong was sitting on the small boat, and from time to time he saw large ships passing by.

I also heard someone shouting from above, "Okay, okay, I just caught three 20-pound white fish and raised them. A big customer will ask for them tomorrow morning!"

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Such a huge fishing boat looked out of place in the water of Taihu Lake, but it was converted from a warship.

Nowadays, a powerful weapon in naval warfare has ended up like fishing in Taihu Lake. How can we not make people sigh?

"We're here, sir!" Just as Chen Zilong was sighing with emotion, a voice rang out at the right time.

"Captain Huang!" Not long after, under the recommendation of the soldiers, Chen Zilong finally met Huang Fei, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's Northeast Navy, Tongjin and Huaihaijiang Town Navy.

"The student's surname is Chen, his given name is Zilong, his courtesy name is Renzhong, and he is from Songjiang. He was entrusted by Shen Youlong and Shen Junmen to come here to pay homage to the governor!"

"Shen Youlong? I've heard of him, but I've never seen him. I wonder why he sent you here?" Huang Fei frowned upon hearing this, unable to hide his disappointment.

"According to reliable information, the arrogant 'Shun Thief' is now in Taicang, Suzhou, with only more than a thousand elite men in his hands." Chen Zilong couldn't help but smile, "I have agreed with Shen Junmen that King Nanjie Lu and General Xilian will raise troops to surround us. Attack them and take their lives.”

"If such achievements can be accomplished, the world will be at peace!"

"What, the 'Shun Thief' has arrived in Suzhou?" Huang Fei was shocked when he heard this.

He heard that Yang Sichang, Zhu Dadian, Qian Qianyi and others supported the "King of Lu" Zhu Changzi to ascend the throne, and he was waiting for the edict to ask him to come out and protect the Yangtze River. He never thought that before the edict was received, the "successful thieves" had already passed Yangtze.

"There are only a thousand people, why is that?" Huang Fei was also a veteran, so naturally he would not listen to Chen Zilong's words.

"But what happened was that after hearing that the 'shun thieves' had participated in the Spring and Autumn Conference of the Restoration Society, they suddenly broke into Suzhou. The prefect of Suzhou didn't know the soldiers. He was frightened by the news and abandoned the city." Chen Zilong saw that Huang Fei had some intentions and continued quickly. road.

"The 'submissive thief' then arrived in Suzhou. Unexpectedly, he heard somewhere that the Gu family had a daughter who was very beautiful, so he went to search for her."

"They come from rough backgrounds, and the women they see are nothing more than village girls and stupid women. How do they see such beauty? They can't help but love her, to the point of putting themselves in danger!"

"Oh?" Huang Fei was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help but nodded and said, "I heard that the 'submissive thief' is good in all kinds of ways, but he is very dissolute, so he is not a man. Looking at it today, it is true!"

"General, the fish have been caught!" Just as the two were talking, a soldier suddenly reported.

"Oh, excuse me!" Upon hearing this, Huang Fei gave Chen Zilong an apologetic look, and then asked, "Have you caught the big fish?"

"I caught one, one weighing about thirty kilograms, and two weighing twenty kilograms. However, one of the twenty kilograms is not in good condition, with a few scales falling off." The soldier reported quickly.

"Oh, let's raise it first, and let's see if the distinguished guest wants it tomorrow morning!" Huang Fei nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, then turned his head and smiled at Chen Zilong, "Just kidding, my family is big but my business is small. Did a little business."

"The current situation is difficult, of course, of course!" Chen Zilong smiled and asked smoothly, "Thirty kilograms of Taihu white fish are rare. Is it possible to sell it for ten taels of silver?"

"Ten taels? A full fifty taels!" Huang Fei spread his fingers and showed off, "In addition, there are five to six hundred catties of miscellaneous fish, some whitebait, and white shrimps, but this sum only counts three or four That’s as much as a hundred taels of silver.”

"Oh? Where did this good deal come from, and the general got it?" Chen Zilong was surprised when he heard this.

Three to four hundred taels of silver may not sound like much, but it cannot be overstated that silver was valuable in the late Ming Dynasty.

For example, famous prostitutes like Chen Yuanyuan and Liu Rushi were worth only one or two thousand taels of silver.

Another example is Zhang Shenyan, who was dismissed from office by the court because his two thousand taels of silver could not explain his whereabouts.

There are only a few people in Suzhou who can buy Taihu fish for three to four hundred taels of silver at a time.

"Who knows, I heard it's a family in Taicang!" Huang Fei smiled and said smoothly.

"Taicang? Could it be the Gu family!" Chen Zilong was stunned when he heard this, and then said with great joy.

"Gu family?" Huang Fei was also stunned, and then said in disbelief, "How could it be such a coincidence?"

It was getting late the next day, so Gu set up a large table of dishes for Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun and Gu Qiji sat down, and then they saw an empty space in the middle of the table, and couldn't help but look at the Gu clan leader strangely.

The patriarch saw Gu Qiji with a peach blossom face and cuddling next to Zhang Shun. How could it be that they had accomplished good things?

He couldn't help but said with joy: "I just caught a Taihu white fish today weighing thirty-two kilograms and six taels. It is extremely rare. I specially asked my servant to make it for His Highness to enjoy!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but turn around and ordered: "Serve!"

"Yes!" I heard a servant respond, and soon he brought a big plate over.

After seeing each other, I quickly tried it with a silver needle and found that there was no problem. Then I picked up the chopsticks and prepared to take a bite of the food.

"Wait!" At this moment, Zhang Shun suddenly stopped everyone.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" The head of the Gu clan looked stunned, and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

"Where are you from?" Zhang Shun did not answer, but asked the servant.

It turns out that in this era, the sounds in the north and the south were very different.

Except for the official Zhongzhou rhyme, which is the authentic one, ordinary people everywhere have a strong accent.

For example, Suzhou area is represented by Wu Nong's soft language, which sounds like a low-pitched singing.

Zhang Shun had been listening to Gu Qiji's pleas for mercy for the past two days, and he felt a little emotional about it.

Even though the person just learned it quite similarly and only said one word "yes", Zhang Shun could hear the difference.

This Gu family is from a wealthy family in Taicang. Although most of the servants in the family have dispersed, the ones left behind are all their own children. How could there be a servant from out of town?

Only then did Zhang Shun become suspicious.

"I'm the one who killed you!" Seeing that Zhang Shun was suspicious of him, the man simply refused to do anything. He suddenly shouted loudly, then put his hand into the fish's mouth, endured the boiling water in the soup, and suddenly pulled out a fish. Bring me the sword.

Before anyone could react, the man just threw the tray and fish at Zhang Shun, and then stabbed him with his sword.

"Your Highness, be careful!" When Gu Qiji saw this, her beauty could not help but change color. She quickly hugged Zhang Shun and tried to stop him.

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

At the critical moment, there was suddenly a loud shout, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which only made everyone's ears buzz, and then there was a crisp sound and a dull sound.

It turned out that it was Wukong who took action. He opened the thrown white fish with a stick, smashed the porcelain plate into pieces, and then beat the assassin's head to pieces with another stick.

All of a sudden, red, white, rolling, hot, soft, and hard things fell down, covering everyone present like rain.

"Kill!" At this moment, several more servants pulled out and were about to rush up to kill them, but they were stopped by Zhang Shun's guards.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay?" The Gu clan leader's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly struggled to crawl over to greet him.

"It's okay, they're just clowns!" Zhang Shun calmly pushed Gu Qiji away and replied calmly.

"Thief, I can't kill you today, it's destiny!" At this moment, the "servants" were surrounded by the rebel guards, and they could only be heard shouting.

"However, you can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth grade. Wash your neck early and wait to die!"

After saying that, they actually put the knife in their hands to their necks, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

At the same time, the sound of war drums and fighting could be heard in the distance outside the Gu Mansion.
