Please ask me to be the emperor

As soon as Zhang Shun heard the illogical remarks made by the second master "Zijin Liang", he asked strangely: "Second master, how do you say this?"

"Sincerity Bo Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, the first counselor in the founding of our country, once divined my luck in the Ming Dynasty and made a conclusion: hang a curved ruler on the tree, and it will stop when things go well."

"At first I was puzzled and didn't know what this statement meant. It was only when I heard your last name was Zhang Mingshun that I suddenly realized it. Isn't this idea of ​​'stop when things go well' exactly what you are doing? In the world of the Zhu family, He should be destroyed and replaced by you!"

After saying this, "Purple Gold Liang" turned to "Zuo Jin King" He Jin and "Ge Liyan" He Yilong and said: "I know I just ordered you to recognize him as your master, but you are quite dissatisfied. You are really blind." Awesome! Don’t you know it’s a real dragon in front of you? I’m giving you a great blessing, and it’s worthy of you following me for a long time.”

"King of Zuo Jin" He Jin and "Grey Eye" He Yilong were stunned when they heard this, but they did not expect that there was such a reason. He couldn't help but be moved, and he quickly bowed to the second master, "Purple Gold Liang", and said: "Thank you very much, second master, for your support. I will never forget it!"

Of course, while these two people were grateful, they couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in their hearts: Although the second boss "Purple Gold Liang" has some talents, he is ignorant and has no skills. When did he become so literate? Fortunately, it was a time when the second master's life was at stake, so they didn't have time to think about it.

Zhang Shun was boasted a lot in the previous episode, and his face became much thicker. He just said a few words of humility, "I'm ashamed of myself," and stopped trying to persuade him.

Perhaps "Purple Golden Liang" feels the passing of life and desires life even more. So he did not wave them away, but continued: "Where is Qixu Taoist?"

"Yes!" Qixu Taoist replied without sadness or joy.

"I know that you are from outside the country, but how can this world tolerate people from outside the country? I was also a monk. I shaved my head and worked as a monk for several years. But since the great disaster, I still haven't eaten or drank!"

"The imperial court doesn't care about food, and neither does the Buddha. We had no choice but to deceive our masters and destroy our ancestors, and became rebels. Now, Taoist Qixu, you are also included in the den of thieves. I know you are also a talented person. I hated to listen to you before. The Taoist priest's words made him believe Han Tingxian's words."

"I heard a few days ago that Han Tingxian was killed by Cao Wenzhao to kill good people and pretend to be meritorious. It's really satisfying. I just wish I could get to know this person personally."

"Since the Taoist Master knows that Zhang Shun has his destiny, why not stay with him to assist him. For the sake of Zhuge Liuhou's position, it is just for the Taoist Master!"

Taoist Qi Xu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. You have arranged this more thoughtfully than I have. According to Zhang Shun's words, it means that "everyone has learned to answer questions quickly."

Taoist Qi Xu had no choice but to respond: "I will obey the order of the second master. I, the old Taoist priest, am not done with this mortal world. It seems that I have to follow Optimus Prime for a walk in the rolling world of mortals!"

Zhang Shun almost laughed out loud. After all, his face was always expressionless, and others couldn't tell the truth. He also responded in a pretentious manner: "Thanks to the second master for helping me, and also to Taoist Quxu for helping me. I, Zhang Shun, can't guarantee anything. As long as I, Zhang Shun, have something to eat, everyone will definitely be able to eat!"

"If the officers and soldiers come, I dare to fight. I will definitely make the Chongzhen child sleepless and foodless. He will be frightened when he hears my name!"

"Zijinliang" was very happy when he heard this, and said: "Back then I was born in Suide. I was young and energetic, riding horses, walking dogs, and hunting captives. I was so happy!"

"I just didn't know how to save, and my family had no money left, so I spent everything I had on food and drink. As a result, a severe drought came and I couldn't make a living, so I had no choice but to become a monk and become a monk."

"At the beginning, there was still food in the temple, and we could barely support ourselves. But we didn't expect that the drought lasted for two years, and even the temple had no food. Our family had no choice but to imitate the Ming Dynasty Taizu and engage in rebellion."

"I have been in the army before, and I know a lot about the art of war. I call myself the 'Purple Golden Beam across the Sea', and I am ready to do something earth-shaking and change the dynasty. I never thought that with great ambition and little talent, I would end up in exile here!"

"Now the border troops are good at fighting, and the courtiers are united. The Ming Dynasty rejects the golden captives in the north, and enjoys peace in the south. Will our rebel army survive?"

"Since I became the leader of the Thirty-sixth Battalion, I have been up and down all night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. I only worry about what will happen to the rebel army in the future. I dare not talk about my ambitions, but I only hope that my brothers can achieve something and not be a thief all their lives! "

"I like to listen to "Water Margin of Loyalty and Righteousness", and I deeply feel that Song Sanlang has lofty aspirations and does not care about personal gains and losses. I also believe that war can force peace and peace can force imperial edicts."

"It's just that the great master and I have successively disrupted Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, and the world has been shaken. Why is the imperial court still insisting on exterminating us, without even the slightest intention of ordering peace?"

"Aren't we the pure sons of the Ming Dynasty? Aren't we the people of the Ming Dynasty? Do we deserve to die together, but others deserve to live? Why? Why!"

The second-in-command "Purple Golden Liang" was still reflecting on his past life, recalling his life experiences, but unexpectedly, he told about the future of the rebel army and the incident in Zhao'an, and he still felt resentful.

Zhang Shun was silent for a moment, then replied: "The second master, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he really can't. The imperial court also wants Zhao'an, but the food and salary are empty, just to save money; the rebels want Zhao'an, but they have no food and just want to survive. "

"Then, if you want the rebels to survive, the only way the court can solve the problem is by providing money and food. But if the court has money and food, why would it send troops to annihilate us?"

"The imperial court pays countless taxes and labor every year, why is there no money?" the second master asked strangely.

"Because these tax labor services need to go through several passes before they can be used. The first pass is to collect taxes, and those who collect taxes can get it easily. The court levies one, and officials dare to levy ten; the second pass is to transport the capital to other places, and there must be The fire consumption losses were handled by the officials who handled them; the third channel entered the warehouse, and one was paid to the king of the Zhu family, and the other was misappropriated by the royal family. When the six ministries made their income and expenditure, there was not much money and food left; the fourth channel was distributed to the place, All the officials who handle it take advantage of it, and now the world’s money, food, taxes and fees have been exhausted!”

"How dare they do this? How dare they do this!" "Zijinliang" was so sad and angry after hearing this that he vomited blood and died on the spot.

It turned out that because of his low status, the second head of the family, "Purple Gold Liang", had never understood the money and food operations of the imperial court. He just instinctively hated corrupt officials, and he did not know that there were so many ways in them. When I thought that so many brothers and sisters had died because of this, I felt so sad and angry that I died in a rage.

In fact, Zhang Shun didn't know much about it. Fortunately, Zhang Shenyan, as a high official in the imperial court, was quite familiar with the connections. Zhang Shun discussed with him many times and finally understood the truth about the lack of money in the late Ming Dynasty.

Poor Emperor Chongzhen, for the sake of food and wages, he followed Yang Sichang's suggestion and forcibly collected "Liao wages" with Chongzhen for three years. But how did he know that if he gained three cents of silver per acre, the following would dare to give him one tael more. As wages and salaries increase, there are more and more thieves and bandits in the world, and the countdown to the end of the Ming Dynasty has begun.

The second-in-command "Purple Gold Liang" finally lived up to expectations and disappeared, leaving a mess for the protagonist. Next, it depends on the protagonist's methods, whether he can clean up the old rivers and mountains, and the carp leaps over the dragon's gate.

In addition, according to history, most of Zijin Liang's men joined Li Zicheng's command, and some should have followed Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai. However, there is a shortage of relevant historical materials, so the author simply regards Zuo Jin Wang He Jin and Ge Liyan He Yilong as Zijin Liang's subordinates.

In history, after Zijin Liang's death, the rebel army was truly leaderless. According to research, the so-called "Xingyang Alliance" did not exist at all, which was also one of the important reasons for the successive defeats of the rebel army.
