Please ask me to be the emperor

Zhao Lizi hated him for causing trouble for nothing, so that Huang Shoucai, the "River God", suffered this misfortune. How could he be tolerated?

They simply took him hostage to the Luoshui River, stabbed the thief to death, then took his trousers and plunged into the Luoshui River.

The Luoshui River here was flowing through the valley, and the water flow was very fast. Zhao Lizi relied on his superior water quality, so he swam back with the help of the water's strength.

The few archers who followed looked at each other and did not dare to jump into the river to pursue, so they had to give up.

Zhao Lizi learned the lesson after suffering the loss. When he arrived at Yongning County, he first grabbed a handful of ashes and made his face red, and then went to the city to inquire about the news.

From Yongning County, Zhao Lizi easily found out that the county's Zhongdian Shi had led a team of government officials to escort a felon to the capital two days ago.

Zhao Lizi had no choice but to chase him to Fucheng, Henan Province, but when he got there, he was a country boy with no one to rely on and no connections.

He had no choice but to return to Yanshi and find a friend of "River God" Huang Shoucai for help, and then he found out what was going on.

It turned out that after Huang Shoucai and others abandoned the boat, the government followed the map and traced it to the Yiluo River in Yanshi.

But this matter is related to one's own wealth and life. Which fisherman and boatman dares to speak out? They only said that the strong winds in the past two days scattered the ship and its whereabouts are still missing, but they refused to admit it.

It's just that they didn't know that Fan Shangxuan, the governor of Henan, had committed the crime of "letting the invaders invade Henan" and was trying to absolve themselves of the crime. How could they agree to do so?

He just issued a death order and must find these "evidences of colluding with bandits and untouchables."

Nothing is difficult except for those who are willing. After vigorous pursuit by the government, the Henan Prefectural Government, which was personally responsible for the matter, discovered a silver coin with the official seal in a gambling shop. This was actually the silver coin that Zhang Shun originally presented to Huang Shoucai. One ingot.

Zhang Shun has always been meticulous in his work, but he can't do everything himself. Some of the silver in his hand was seized from the government, some was blackmailed from Zezhou City, and some was exchanged from the rebels.

In short, the sources are complex and there are omissions. Most of this official silver is stored in bank vaults and rarely reaches the hands of the people.

The official took the opportunity to catch the gambler, and after a severe torture, he revealed that the silver tael was a gift from the "River God" Huang Shoucai.

In fact, although Huang Shoucai helped the nearby fisherman Zhouzi, how could he give any silver to this gambler? But after all, there was involvement, and the government immediately ordered patrol documents to arrest Huang Shoucai and bring him to justice.

Poor Huang Shoucai, who was conceited about his ability to manage rivers and his frequent contacts with government officials, should have gone to the Lu family to join the rebel army.

As a result, due to a strange combination of circumstances, he made mistakes again and again, and was eventually captured by the government and put in prison.

Before Zhao Lizi could come up with an idea, he did not expect that the Tuifu would bring another three to five hundred soldiers and go from house to house to arrest the fisherman Zhouzi who was related to Huang Shoucai, claiming: "Huang Shoucai has already recruited them, and you are all thieves." Quickly surrender and capture, if there is any resistance, kill without mercy!"

Zhao Lizi had no choice but to jump into the river again and escape eastward.

It didn't matter that he escaped, he just happened to escape near Sheyuan Pass. At that time, it was the "King of Troubled Times" sent by Zhang Shun who was stationed at Shenyuan Pass.

Zhao Lizi also recognized this "King of Troubled Times". When he saw him, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "Didn't King Shun lead his troops to the west? How could he have come to the east? We had a hard time looking for our lord. Where is your lord now?" ?”

The "King of Troubled Times" knew that Zhao Lizi was close to Zhang Shun, so he quickly sent his soldiers to Dengfeng County.

At that time, Zhang Shun was about to lead his army back and happened to meet Zhao Lizi.

Huang Shoucai was originally older than Zhao Lizi. The two had known each other for a long time, and Zhao Lizi often called him brother. Now in desperation, he shouted out to ask Zhang Shun to save his brother.

Zhang Shun asked clearly and couldn't help but frown. The Henan Fucheng is located in Fuguo, Luoyang County. Because it is north of Luoshui River, it is named Luoyang.

Its city wall is about nine miles in circumference and has four city gates, which are called: Jianchun in the east, Lijing in the west, Wangxi in the north, and Changxia in the south.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, due to the peasant uprising, the imperial court built a horse-blocking earth wall one foot high beside the city moat. The earthen wall was extended for thirty-three miles and water was diverted into the trench to defend against the rebels.

This Luoyang City is where Zongfan Prince Fu's palace is located, and there are Henan Guards in the city. Even if the court does not send heavy troops to guard it, how can Zhang Shun capture this city? Even if the city is captured, how to defend against the swarming officers and soldiers?

After thinking about this, Zhang asked by the way: "What do you think of this matter?"

Everyone frowned when they heard this, but Chen Jindou remonstrated: "That Huang Shoucai is just a boatman. Although he tried to help the rebels, he couldn't. Luoyang is a big city, how can it be captured in a hurry? In my opinion, no Just do your best and obey fate."

What does it mean to "do your best and obey fate"? In fact, just abandon it.

Zhao Lizi was furious when he heard this. He had been in contact with Huang Shoucai a lot these days and admired his character of being generous and generous. When he saw that Chen Jindou actually said such words, he felt jealous and was about to step forward and beat Chen Jindou.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shun quickly stopped Zhao Lizi and reprimanded: "Young people are hot-blooded and it's okay to be a little reckless. During normal discussions, you should convince people with reason, why did you use your fists in front of me? "

Zhao Lizi was afraid of Zhang Shun and refused to accept it, but he had no choice but to kneel down and apologize.

Zhang Shun then personally helped him up, took his hand and said, "I know you are eager to save people. Have you not made any progress along the way?"

"When encountering problems, you should stay calm and carefully analyze the pros and cons before you can find a solution. Never attack your colleagues again in the future. What's more, Chen Jindou is older and is the same age as your grandfather. At least he should know how to respect his elders and love him. Young principles."

After some scolding, Zhao Lizi agreed honestly, but hesitated to speak.

Zhang Shun ignored him and just said to Chen Jindou: "Lao Shanchang Zuo Lengchan has nothing to do. Please help me call him and give me some advice."

Chen Jindou also responded honestly, and soon brought the trembling old mountain chief Zuo Lengchan over.

Zhang Shun ordered Zhao Lizi to tell the story about Huang Shoucai, and then asked: "Sir, you are a great talent, I don't know how you can teach me?"

Zuo Lengchan couldn't help blowing his beard and staring when he heard this. How could an old guy like me, who was half buried in the ground, know? He quickly responded: "I am old and my brain has become rigid in reading. I really don't know how to deal with it!"

Zhang Shun smiled when he heard this and gave Chen Jindou a look.

Chen Jindou didn't have any other abilities, but he still had the ability to flatter his lord and worry about his lord's needs. He murmured quickly: "It's useless to say this to this old guy. Anyway, all his disciples and grandsons are here. Taking him along the bumpy journey may break his body and bones. Why not kill this old thief to avoid wasting the food of the rebel army!" "

The old mountain leader Zuo Lengchan trembled when he heard this, and quickly said: "Even so, I have eaten more salt than young people and have traveled more roads than young people. I have some experience. I am successful or not. Please forgive me." It’s a crime!”
