Please ask me to be the emperor

It turned out that there happened to be a male student named Xu Quan in Niuzhai Village. At that time, he was hosting a banquet at home for four friends who came to visit him. All five of them were born in the Han Dynasty, which is often called a scholar in later generations.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the state schools and county schools were called "Yi Xiang", so the students there were called "Yi Xiang students", or "Xu students" for short, commonly known as Xiucai or Maocai. For example, Chen Jingzhi, who joined the rebel army, was originally a native of Meng County.

It's just that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are different from the scholars who have no power in many people's impression. In addition to studying imperial examination subjects, they generally also need to study martial arts.

When Zhu Yuanzhang first established the Ming Dynasty, he learned from the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature over martial arts and required scribes to master martial arts skills and the art of war. In his spare time, Xiang Sheng also learned martial arts such as archery.

During the Ming Dynasty, these martial arts and military arts were not subjects of the literati examination and were often not taken seriously. But there are always exceptions to everything, and there are also people who seriously study the art of war and martial arts in addition to studying.

For example, Xiong Tingbi, who was both civil and military master, and Lu Xiangsheng, who could wield a 140-pound sword, were such leaders. Even more common were Xiang students with family backgrounds like Li Xin.

Xu Quan was born in western Henan, a place with strong folk customs, so he was naturally a bit wild. He has been fond of horseback riding and archery since he was a child, and he has become good at riding and archery. Naturally, the few people he befriended also liked to wield swords, guns, and bows and archery.

Since Xu Quan could afford a horse and was able to ride and shoot, he naturally came from a well-off family. The Xu family's mansion is also quite famous in this small Niuzhai village. Although it is not as good as those big families with thousands of hectares of fertile land and hundreds of beautiful houses, it still has a house with more than ten houses.

As soon as Tang Jiuzhou entered Niuzhai Village, he saw Xu Quan's house from a distance. Although it can't be said to be beautifully decorated, it is still spacious and bright. So Tang Jiuzhou simply led his soldiers to stay overnight.

Although Xu Quan knew that this guy was not a good person, he was stronger than the other person, so he did not show his strength. He just secretly asked his four classmates, friends and servants to prepare weapons in case of emergency, while welcoming Na Tang Jiuzhou into the house.

After everyone decided on the host and guest, they ate and drank a lot under Xu Quan's reception. After all, Tang Jiuzhou was born as a warrior, and he traveled back and forth all the way, so he had a good appetite. He was like a starving ghost reincarnated, eating and drinking a lot.

At the wine table, both parties must be polite and inquire about each other. Only then did Tang Jiuzhou know that the master was a scholar and had some fame, but he didn't care much. After he was full of wine and food, Tang Jiuzhou took his guards to the guest room to rest.

But I don't know if Tang Jiuzhou is extremely sleepy, or if he is full and warm and thinking about something else. In short, after he lay down, he tossed and turned over and over again, unable to sleep.

Tang Jiuzhou had been tossing for a long time, and his soldiers could not sleep well, so they complained to him: "The general soldier is in good spirits. If you have such leisure, you might as well call the wives and concubines of Master Xu to come and toss them. Why bother to embarrass me, a grown man? I see that Master Xu is only twenty-four or five years old, and he is young and rich. I guess his wives and concubines are also quite pretty!"

Tang Jiuzhou felt itchy when he heard this, but after all, the other party had fame and fame, he was a little worried, and said: "You don't want me to do it? But he is a scholar. If he has a brother who is in a high position, he will join in when the time comes. If I read it, it will cause trouble over nothing!"

The soldier sneered and said: "You did a lot of evil in the past, but I didn't see you having any scruples. Today, I met a sour scholar, and I was scared. Let me tell you, we killed a lot of people today anyway, not many more than him. He is missing a lot. Just charge him with colluding with thieves and chop him with a knife. As long as no one sees him, will the dead still complain?"

Tang Jiuzhou's look made him faint, but after hearing this, he felt that what this guy said made some sense. So, he put on his pants, grabbed a knife, called a few soldiers and went to Xu Quan's house.

It was a sunny day that night, with a crescent moon in the sky, and the shadows of the trees in the yard were mottled, like a net. It was late at night and everyone had already gone to rest. There was no noise in the yard, only the lively chirping of insects in the corner and the faint sound of frogs croaking from the Yishui River not far away.

Tang Jiuzhou tiptoed to the door of Xu's house, leaned on the door and leaned one ear forward. He listened for a long time, but didn't hear any movement, so he waved his hand to signal to his soldiers.

All of these people were good at sneaking around. When they saw the soldier, he gently pulled out his knife, inserted it into the crack of the door, and then stood there after playing with it for a long time.

Tang Jiuzhou was anxious, so he came closer and cursed in a low voice: "What tricks are you doing? Quickly unbolt the door for me!"

As a result, the soldier turned his head and defended with a red face: "Chief Soldier, the door of his house is very finely made, but the door gap is too narrow, and the knife got stuck, making it impossible to move!"

Tang Jiuzhou almost yelled "coward". How could he pick a door latch and still get a knife stuck in it? He pushed the stupid soldier aside, grabbed the handle of the knife and drew it, but the good guy didn't move.

Tang Jiuzhou couldn't bear it any longer and cursed angrily: "We've reached the door anyway, why are you afraid that he will fly away? Break the door for me and get in!"

It didn't matter what Tang Jiuzhou drank, he woke up the people in the room. I only heard Xu Quan shouting in a trembling voice: "Is that Mr. Tang outside? I don't know what's going on in the middle of the night?"

Tang Jiuzhou grinned and said: "I missed your mother-in-law so much in the middle of the night that she came here uninvited! When you get to the underworld, you'd better not sue me for the crime!"

"You, you, you!" Xu Quan seemed to be frightened and asked stutteringly: "Are you an official or a gangster? Are you so shameless and rampant in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid that I will sue the official!"

"Hahaha!" Tang Jiuzhou said with a happy smile, "pedantic people! Not to mention that the crows in the world are as black as the crows in the world, even the magistrate of Song County who dared to take charge with the help of a petition could still bring me to trial among more than a thousand of my elites. ?”

"Besides, it's better to wait until you can survive tomorrow before you think about these things!"

After saying that, Tang Jiuzhou and his soldiers clashed with each other, finally broke the door latch and rushed in.

But as soon as Tang Jiuzhou and others stepped into the threshold, they heard the sound of bowstrings and several flying arrows flying over.

Tang Jiuzhou flashed subconsciously and felt a pain in his neck. He turned over and fell down. Several other soldiers were also shot over.

The rest of the soldiers took advantage of the chaos and rushed in. Unexpectedly, several spears stretched out from the darkness and stabbed several more soldiers.

No wonder Tang Jiuzhou and a few of their soldiers suffered a loss. It turned out that these birdmen came here to do evil on a whim, but they were still wearing the common clothes they slept in and never put on their armor. As a result, he was attacked and several lives were injured at once.
