Please ask me to be the emperor

Zhang Shun had a dark face and looked like he was keeping strangers away. The little slave girl Gao Guiying followed obediently, not daring to breathe.

It's no wonder that Zhang Shun was sulking. He had finally gained the upper hand after using all his tricks, but because he was too greedy, the rebels pursued him too deeply. Instead, Hong Chengchou, a thief, caught this small mistake and made money back.

Not to mention the loss of troops and horses, Hong Chengchou took the opportunity to set up camp outside the city and gain a firm foothold. Originally, according to Zhang Shun's plan, when the officers and soldiers set up camp, they would have to send people to harass them again.

But now that the rebels have been defeated for a while, they are exhausted and need a short rest, so they are unable to carry out large-scale night operations.

Zhang Shun had no choice but to send Zhao Lizi and Wei Congyi to harass him several times, but without much effect.

On the second day, as expected, the officers and soldiers no longer attacked Luoyang City, but instead sent troops to surround Ziweixing Fort.

Although this was expected by Zhang Shun, it still made the officers and soldiers very satisfied. Fortunately, Zhang Sanbai and Ziwei Xingbao did not disappoint Zhang Shun. Hong Chengchou did not believe in evil and also hit his head in front of the fortress with bloodshed.

Although Hong Chengchou, the governor-general of the five provinces, was much more knowledgeable than Ai Wannian, the deputy commander-in-chief, it was a pity that their science and engineering skills were about the same, and the results were not much better.

After three or five days like this, Ziwei Star Castle stood still. Ma Yingniang, who had repeatedly urged Zhang Shun to rescue her brother, was relieved. There was a peaceful atmosphere in Luoyang City, which was less depressing than the overwhelming army.

On this day, Zhang Shunzheng leisurely led Gao Guiying, Wukong and Wang Jinyi to have tea in the teahouse.

It's not that there is no tea in Zhang Shun's house, he just shows up from time to time to show his presence, so that there are some blind people in the provincial city causing trouble.

Zhang Shun was not an elegant man either. Niu drank two bowls to quench his thirst and was about to leave when he heard someone whispering at the door of the teahouse about "Zhang Sanbai", "Ziweixing" and "Destiny". kind of language.

Zhang Shun felt strange, so he ordered Wukong to bring him here and asked, "What did my father-in-law say? I would like to hear the details!"

When the old man saw that it was King Shun, the two sides were fighting, how could he dare to say anything? When Zhang Shun saw that he looked wrong, he winked at Wang Jinyi.

Wang Jinyi took out his sword and threatened, "Say it, or don't you say it? If you don't say it, I'll cut him off in two!"

The old man was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Zhang Shun several times, and argued forcefully: "How could King Shun be so benevolent and righteous as to bully a dying man like me?"

"Since you know it, then tell it honestly. I will forgive you!" Zhang Shun smiled slightly when he heard this. Some people pretend to be white-faced, and naturally some people also pretend to be red-faced.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wang Jinyi's shining steel sword, and then made up his mind and said: "King Shun, please forgive me. This little old man just heard nonsense from other people, and you can't take it seriously. "

"It is said that the Ziwei Star in the Ziwei Star Castle outside the city descends to earth and is protected by the gods. Therefore, the sword cannot hurt it, the artillery cannot reach it, and the officers and soldiers cannot defeat it!"

Ziweixing is the Emperor Star. The man who guards Ziweixing Castle is Zhang Sanbai. When Zhang Shun heard this, he still didn't know what the rumor was about?

Gao Guiying glanced at Zhang Shun secretly, but she couldn't tell what his expression was. She could not help but feel a sense of schadenfreude in her heart: I usually let you pretend to be a ghost, but this time you have to suffer for yourself, right?

Zhang Shun waved his hand and let the old man leave on his own. Wang Jinyi hurriedly took two steps forward, winked, and made a stroke on his neck with his knife-like hand.

Zhang Shun shook his head and said with a smile: "It is better to defend the people than to defend the river. This is just Hong Chengchou's plan to sow discord. Don't pay attention to it!"

After wandering around for a while, Zhang Shun Shi Shiran returned to the palace. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Song Xiance, Ma Yingniang and others waiting for him anxiously.

Everyone couldn't help but feel happy when they saw Zhang Shun coming back. Ma Yingniang hurriedly took three steps at a time and came to Zhang Shun. She explained in a low voice: "My brother, you know that you have always had the same intention. Nowadays, Luoyang City is full of storms. Someone must have framed me, please ask the general to find out!"

Zhang Shun smiled when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Song Xiance, Zhang Shenyan, Hong Niangzi and others, and asked, "Are you also here because of Zhang Sanbai's matter?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Zhang smiled and said, "Everyone, please be patient. That Zhang Sanbaiben is the guard of Ziwei Star Castle that I appointed. How can I let him be harmed by rumors?"

"This is just a villain's strategy because Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, is too resourceful and unable to deal with the guards of Ziwei Star Castle! I thought I could just laugh it off, but I didn't expect that everyone would come to plead for him. There must be many of them. People are already suspicious.”

"In that case, why don't I make him the Lord of Ziwei Star Castle to put his mind at ease?"

"Absolutely not!" As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, Song Xiance quickly stopped him and said, "This matter must be considered in the long term. My Lord is benevolent and righteous, and Zhang Sanbai is loyal. The monarch and his ministers are in harmony with each other, but I am afraid that some villain will interfere and spoil things. "

"As an experienced person, it's better to give him a word to distinguish him from a king and a minister."

"Oh? I don't know what word to give him?" Zhang Shun knew Song Xiance's ability quite well and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Zi Wei is the Emperor's Star; Seven Killers is the General's Star. Zhang Sanbai is highly skilled in martial arts and is good at fighting. Why don't my lord give him the title Seven Kills, so as not to disturb the moral order?"

"Zhang Sanbai, Zhang Qisha?" Zhang Shun originally thought that "give a word" meant writing a word and giving it to Zhang Sanbai, but it turned out that he was helping him pick out the word! This word sounds a bit weird. Are you sure Zhang Sanbai won't fall out after hearing it?

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Shenyan, Lady Hong and Ma Yingniang heard this, they couldn't help but said with great joy: "What Mr. Song said is true. If Zhang Sanbai is destined to do this, he should thank you in advance for his good words!"

It turns out that the "Seven Killings Star" is called "General Star" in ancient books. It belongs to fire and metal. It is the sixth star of the South Dipper. It is the General Star. When it meets the emperor, it is the power.

The Seven Kills Star is good at fighting and has both civil and military skills. It has the best fate among the general stars. If you can meet the master of the Ming Dynasty, you will often be the founding general.

Zhang Shunsui followed his plan and wrote dozens of letters in his own hand, stamped them with seals, and ordered his soldiers to shoot bows and arrows into Ziwei Star Castle.

Zhang Sanbai got Zhang Shun's handwritten letter and opened it to show everyone, only to see a few big characters written on it: "Zhang Sanbai has done great service in defending the city, but the rebel general Hong Chengchou was not able to advance even an inch. The word 'Seven Kills' is specially given to praise his contribution!"

How come He Jin, King Zhishi and others didn't know Zhang Shun's intention, so they couldn't help but secretly said: "It seems that this three hundred man is a confidant of the lord. We should walk around with him more."

And Zhang Sanbai hurriedly bowed facing the southwest and cried bitterly: "If my lord knows what happened, Seven Killers will definitely break his body into pieces to repay this kindness!"
