Please ask me to be the emperor

Zhang Shun had been busy for several months and finally had some leisure time, so he was going to check on Governor Zhang's weapons manufacturing work. Unexpectedly, his sworn brother Chen Changzhen came back from Kangjiazhuang and came to see him.

This Chen Changzhen has good abilities and is close to Zhang Shun. He is a talent that Zhang Shun can safely let go to take charge of the side for the time being. Upon hearing his arrival, Zhang Shun rushed out to welcome him to his residence and ordered Liu Rushi to serve tea.

Originally, Zhang Shun was still thinking about being intimate with the red lady, but he never thought that after many previous "reclamations", the "seeds sprouted" and it was no longer suitable to "disturb" her, so he came to live here with Li Xiang.

When Chen Changzhen saw Zhang Shun, he was very anxious. He picked up the tea and took two sips, and then said: "My lord, we are busy with things, so I have to wait very hard!"

Zhang Shun calmly took a sip of tea and asked strangely: "You and I, brothers, have met each other many times. We can just talk about anything in person, so why do we have to wait?"

Old Chen Changzhen blushed for a moment, and then he said coyly: "Brother Yu, I'm too embarrassed to announce this private matter in front of everyone!"

Zhang Shun is even more surprised now. You, a rough guy, have such an attitude. Are you trying to borrow money from me?

Now that he had even borrowed Liu Rushi's ransom money and spent more than one hundred taels, how could he have any money for him? But after all, they are our brothers, and we must not let this hurt our friendship.

So Zhang Shun opened his mouth to stop the conversation and said: "I have been busy with official business recently, and the rebels are running out of food and grass. My hair is almost falling out. I finally managed to scrape together some silver and sent my father-in-law Li Baihu away." I went to Huguang to do some shopping, but I haven’t returned yet.”

"This time, I have been careless, but I have neglected Brother Chen! I don't know what Brother Chen is doing, but I just say it doesn't matter. If there is anything that I can do, I will never refuse!"

Chen Changzhen didn't know that Zhang Shun had so many twists and turns in his heart, so he quickly said with gratitude: "It's serious, it's serious! I didn't dare to abandon public service for personal reasons, but I just met Brother Xiao and Brother Li. They are all married. I envy them in my heart." tight."

"I have fallen in love with my sister Ma Yingniang, who is worth three hundred yuan, but she is clumsy in speech and I don't know how to mention it. I have always known that your lord is good at talking and has sharp words. I would like to ask your lord to be a matchmaker for me and help me accept this girl!"

Zhang Shun frowned when he heard this, and said seriously: "This woman has already been in love with Zhang Sanbai, so why do you want to take her love away from you?"

It turned out that after Zhang Shun misunderstood the relationship between Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang, he never bothered to ask about it because of his busy schedule, so he just acquiesced to it all the way.

As expected, Chen Changzhen was shocked when he heard this, and quickly explained: "My lord, you are wrong. Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang are brother and sister. How can we be husband and wife? Please speak for me, lord!"

"Ah?" Zhang Shun said in surprise, "Is there such a thing? Let me find out more and then I will tell you for my sworn brother!" After hearing this, Chen Changzhen thanked him profusely for his kindness and then left.

At this time, Zhang Shun's expression became serious and he thought to himself: Brother Chen, Brother Chen! Are you lustful or power-hungry?

Now I have found out that Xiao Qinhu and you in the rebel army are sworn brothers, and Li Xin, Li You and Li Mou are your cousins. Jiang He, "King Zuo Jin", "Ge Liyan" and others are outsiders and cannot be relied upon for the time being. I just trained a Zhang Sanbai, and you turned around and wanted to take this person’s girl. I don’t know what your intentions are.

Liu Rushi understood from the side and saw Zhang Shun's expression was wrong, so he couldn't help but complained cautiously: "Who kind of brother is this man? People say that friends' wives are not to be played with, but he and his own brothers snatched women. How is it?" ?”

When Zhang Shunzheng was thinking a lot, he was stunned when he heard the words and asked: "What are you talking about? Why do I hear it so baffled?"

Liu Rushi only said that Zhang Shun was afraid that the affairs between him and Ma Yingniang would be unhappy if the other ladies of the house found out about it, so she smiled and said: "I, a girl, say I can't afford to interfere with the matter between you two. Please talk to the ladies." !”

Zhang Shun thought about it and thought it was too troublesome, so he decided to talk to Zhang Sanbai himself about it.

At this time, Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang were still training troops in the camp. When Zhang Shun arrived, they were busy.

So, Zhang Shun called Zhang Sanbai privately and asked, "Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Ying Niang? Don't lie to me anymore!"

Zhang Sanbai was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. Originally, he was opposed to his sister being with him, the "thief leader". Now that the "thief leader" is getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Sanbai will inevitably have other thoughts. If King Shun is indeed able to seize the throne in the future, his sister will at least have the status of a noble concubine. Even if she is more courageous, she will not be unable to covet the position of queen!

So Zhang Sanbai answered honestly: "She is my biological sister!"

Seeing that what Chen Changzhen said was true, Zhang Shun asked strangely: "In that case, why do you two, brother and sister, have different surnames?"

Zhang Sanbai frowned slightly, and then said: "This is my private matter, and it is not inconvenient to tell outsiders. Since the lord asked, I have to talk about some family scandals."

"After my mother married my father, she gave birth to me. It's just that my father was a dissolute man and didn't care about the family. My mother had always been a strong-willed person, so she never left the family, so she gave birth to my sister. My father was deeply ashamed, so he gave birth to me. Go make trouble this time."

"Unexpectedly, I got into a fight with Yingniang's father out of desperation. My mother went to break up the fight, but my father accidentally killed her. Seeing this, Yingniang's father was furious and in turn killed my father, and then Yingniang My mother’s father was sentenced to death for this.”

"We, my brother and my sister, were still young and had no relatives, so we had to depend on each other. When we were left with nothing, we had no choice but to live in the world and work with the class leader to earn a living. My father's surname is Zhang, and Ying's father's surname is Ma, so we two Different last names.”

Zhang Shun couldn't help but secretly thought after hearing this: Good guys, it turns out that you have a love tragedy!

Zhang Shun comforted Zhang Sanbai for a few words, and then said: "Now I have a marriage that I would like to marry to your sister. What do you think?"

Zhang Sanbai curled his lips secretly when he heard this, and thought to himself: People still pay attention to "the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words" when getting married. How come you're so involved in love? Although your other wives took it home in this way, my sister is arrogant and arrogant, but I can't be the master!

So, Zhang Sanbai smiled and said: "My sister has always had her own opinions, and as a brother, I can't disobey her. Now that my sister Yingniang is here, if my lord is interested, why don't you tell her yourself? ?”

When Zhang Shun heard this, he was also surprised: Was love already so open in the Ming Dynasty? Even if there is a blind date in later generations, if the intermediary is not acquainted, one has to tactfully ask the relatives and friends of both parties. How can one directly ask the person himself?
