Please ask me to be the emperor

"I heard that you want to see me?" Zhang Shun finally took care of everything and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard Xia Yunyi yelling that he wanted to see him, so he had to get up again and cheer up to meet him.

"Yes!" Xia Yunyi looked at Zhang Shun, whose eyes were bloodshot, and nodded solemnly.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhang Shun asked with a smile.

He was anxious to see himself at this time, and there were only two possibilities: debate with himself or join the rebels.

Either way, he welcomes it.

"Do you want to be Cao Cao?" Just when Zhang Shun was confident, he unexpectedly heard Xia Yunyi ask like this.

Uh. Which aspect are you referring to? When Zhang Shun heard this, he couldn't answer for a while.

"Haha, as expected, you are still going to be a traitor!" Xia Yunyi couldn't help but sneered when he saw Zhang Shun's expression of embarrassment.

"I thought you were a hero, but you're also a coward!"

"How do you say this?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the fact that he had raped Queen Zhang, Queen Zhou and others came to light?

"A man should cultivate his moral integrity, manage his family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. How can he cause chaos in the world because of his own selfishness?" Xia Yunyi couldn't help but ask righteously.

"In the past, King Mang usurped the country, and the whole world attacked him; Cao Wei stole the country, and his second generation died."

"The Sima family stole the world and their descendants were slaughtered; Zhu Wen succeeded the Tang Dynasty, but died unexpectedly after only seven years."

"Heroes all over the world have put national affairs first and are praised by the world since ancient times. Anyone with ill-intentioned ambitions will be infamy for thousands of years..."

"Stop, stop, stop..." After Zhang Shun heard this, he finally understood what Xia Yunyi meant and couldn't help but laugh or cry.

"Since ancient times, the king of a country has no moral principles, and it is natural for the world to attack him. In the past, when Tang suppressed Jie and King Wu attacked Zhou, it was not a human being for a minister to kill his king!"

"The same is true now that Chongzhen is in power. The people are in dire straits, heroes are everywhere, and the world is in danger of overthrow."

"This king has not been able to take advantage of his salary for generations, but he has taken advantage of the opportunity to clean up the country. How can he only respect the Zhu family and not take it for himself?"

"What's more, the Zhu family and other ministers have ruined the world to this extent. The poor have no support, and the rich have nowhere to go. If I, the king, cannot seek justice for the world, I will be saying that I have failed the world!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Shun seemed to feel something in his heart. He couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "In the past, I started an army just to survive. Everyone called me 'King Shun'."

"Now it's so easy to want to do something for the world, but yet people call him Qin Shihuang. It can be said that Ye Gong is a dragon!"

Zhang Shun made Xia Yunyi confused at this time.

It turns out that although Zhang Shun's words were brief, they conveyed a lot of information.

One is to say, I punish sins according to heaven and will not rebel.

One is that there is no righteousness between emperor and minister between me and Zhu Ming, and it is natural justice to raise an army to seek survival.

The last one said, even if I don't have any personal ambitions, for the sake of the people of the world, I must overthrow these old forces and release the benefits they have occupied.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me think about it carefully!" Xia Yunyi quickly stopped Zhang Shun from continuing, and frowned as he pondered Zhang Shun's words.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Zhang Shun said made sense, but there was always a layer of veil between him and he couldn't put these words together. For a while, he scratched his head and felt uneasy.

"Your Highness has conquered the world, but you don't know how to manage it?" After thinking for a long time, Xia Yunyi still couldn't figure it out, so he had to ignore it for the time being.

"To govern a country is to govern the people, and the only way to govern the people is to manage finances!" Zhang Shun pondered briefly and couldn't help but reply.

Of course, what Zhang Shun calls "financial management" does not mean the financial products of later generations, but the allocation of wealth.

"Book of Changes" says: Why defend one's position? Said benevolence. Why gather people? Said wealth. The right words for financial management, prohibiting people from doing wrong, are called righteousness.

The word "financial management" means this.

"Financial management?" Xia Yunyi was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "I wonder how your highness wants to manage finances?"

"It's nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, a two-pronged approach!" Seeing that Xia Yunyi was no longer aggressive, Zhang Shun couldn't help but patiently explained.

"The so-called open source means trade, it means colonization, it means opening up borders and expanding territory!"

"The so-called expenditure reduction means advocating frugality, restraining the powerful, prohibiting corruption, and regulating taxation!"

"However, before that, there are two more key points, one is to regulate the officials, and the other is to balance the rich and the poor..."

When talking about future plans, Zhang Shun couldn't help but talk endlessly.

Most of Zhang Shun's ideas came from later generations and have their own systems.

It was Xia Yunyi's first contact. How could he understand it thoroughly in such a short time?

He couldn't help asking Dong Xiaowan for permission to write, and he started writing furiously while discussing with Zhang Shun.

Once I encounter something I don't understand, I stop and ask for help. I don't write it down until I understand it completely.

In this way, you say something to me, and we talk by candlelight at night.

Just when the two of them were talking excitedly, they suddenly heard a cock crow, which startled them.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Who is so bold as to come and steal the chicken?"

"What are you stealing the chicken?" Dong Xiaowan, who was dozing off, couldn't help complaining after hearing this, "It will be dawn soon, it's the rooster's crowing!"

"Ah?" Xia Yunyi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but apologize, "I accidentally delayed His Highness' rest. It's really a capital crime, a capital crime!"

"Hey, you're being polite, you're being polite." Zhang Shun quickly waved his hand and said, "Listening to what you have to say is better than three nights of good sleep!"

Xia Yunyi was stunned when he heard Zhang Shun's words. He didn't know for a moment whether he was praising him or hurting him.

He had no choice but to ignore it, stood up and gave a salute and said: "Your Highness is born to know this, and has been given by heaven, in the hope of great peace in the world!"

"Although the student has little talent and knowledge, he is willing to follow His Highness thousands of miles away. Please allow Your Highness."

"Sir, you are joking!" Zhang Shun also laughed when he heard this, "Since my king went south, I have seen many scholars who value integrity and are of different types. They agree with each other and oppose those who are different, but none of them are sincere in governing the world."

"Now that I have met you, sir, I know that there may not be no wise men in the world, and I have never encountered any of them."

The two of them greeted each other politely. Xia Yunyi was about to say goodbye when he suddenly remembered something. He couldn't help but hesitated for a moment and then said: "His Royal Highness is like a god in military skills. I shouldn't allow Yi to comment, but I am unhappy about something I didn't say."

"Now King Lu has been defeated several times, and the 'Cangtou Army' has raised troops in Jinhua. At a time when the head and tail cannot see each other, Hangzhou and Ningbo are empty and poorly defended."

"If Your Highness can carry a light cavalry and travel the same route, we can go down to Hangzhou and Ningbo."

"Hangzhou is the administrative seat of Zhejiang Province, and Ningbo is a large coastal port. When these two places come together, King Lu and his family have no choice but to leave Fujian."

"Secure all of this prosperous land, then march westward and attack Jiangxi and Huguang, and then the world will be settled!"

"Uh..." When Zhang Shun heard Xia Yunyi's words, he almost cursed her on the spot.

Why don't you let me sleep?
