Please ask me to be the emperor

Although this lantern festival was hasty, it was quite unique.

Dazzling fireworks blooming in the night sky, Kongming lanterns flying all over the sky, large Kongming lanterns hanging in the air on ropes, and various colored lanterns hanging on both sides of the streets.

There are also the sounds of small businessmen and hawkers coming and going, the sounds of children lighting firecrackers playfully, and the noise of huge crowds of people.

All of a sudden, everything in heaven and earth was filled with joy.

This three-dimensional layout was even more surprising to the well-informed scribes than in the past when it was only done on the ground.

So, while enjoying the lanterns, everyone discussed some poems and articles, which was quite enjoyable.

Suddenly interested, Zhang Shunyi couldn't help but smile and said: "I also learned something occasionally today, please correct me."

"King Shun is a good poet, we are all ears!" Liu Rushi had been the one to catch the sword before, but Zhang Shun managed to gain some limelight, and everyone had confidence in him.

It's just that Zhang Shun had some random thoughts this time, and he didn't have much confidence in what he wrote.

He couldn't help but get vaccinated first and said: "Where, where! Even a great person like Li Du can't write classics that have been handed down from generation to generation, let alone me, a person whose bottle is not half full?"

"Don't be too modest. If King Shun is one of those people whose bottle is less than half full, then what will happen to us? Come on, let me listen to it quickly!" Everyone cheered.

Then Li Xiang and Liu Rushi don't look at each other. Their two "ghostwriters" haven't made a move yet. How come you have one?

The two looked at each other suspiciously, and when they realized that the other's eyes were also full of doubts, they realized that their master was going to do something sexy again.

Both of them couldn't help but want to hide their faces first to prevent them from seeing people in the future.

Unexpectedly, I heard Zhang Shun chanting in a somewhat deep voice: "The lights on the ground are lit, and the stars in the sky are bright; the lights on the ground are rising in the sky, and the sun and moon are dim!"

"If there are immortals in the Nine Heavens, you should regret going to the Nine Heavens! If the scenery is like this, how can it be like being in the human world?"

Everyone was silent for a long time, and suddenly someone shouted "Okay"! Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream and quickly agreed.

"What's so good about it?" Zhang Shun asked with a smile.

Someone said: "Fortunately, the sentence 'When the ground lamp rises into the sky, the sun and moon are dimmed'". Someone said: "Fortunately, the words 'If there are immortals in the Nine Heavens, you should regret ascending to the Nine Heavens'."

They are all foxes of thousands of years and fairies of ten thousand years. If everyone can't understand Zhang Shun's meaning, they might as well knock him to death with a piece of tofu.

Even Li Xiang and Liu Rushi were stunned for a long time and couldn't help but whisper: "I really wrote a good poem this time!"

It turned out that when everyone heard "Lamps on the ground and stars in the sky", they secretly just shook their heads.

But when everyone heard "the lamps on the ground soared into the sky, and the sun and the moon were dimmed", they felt something was wrong.

Then to "If there are immortals in the Nine Heavens, you should regret going to the Nine Heavens! If the scenery is like this, how can it be like being in the human world", it is already very naked.

It is obvious that the lamp refers to the rebels and the star refers to the court. When the earthly lanterns soared into the sky and their power flourished, the Ming court, which represented the sun and moon, could only become dim.

And "Nine Heavens" is a stroke of genius, referring to both the sky and the palace. Then the immortals in the Nine Heavens obviously refer to the emperors in the palace.

The sentence "If the landscape is like this, how can it be like being in the human world" reminds people of the words Liu Ziluan, the eighth son of Emperor Wu of the Southern Dynasty, said before his death, "I wish I could die and live in the Wang family."

After hearing this, three people couldn't help but express their emotions, and came forward to worship: "If King Shun has the ambition to reach the sky, he is willing to help Feather fly to the sky. It doesn't have to be cold at high places, I hope there will be a legacy in Qing history!"

Zhang Shun took a closer look and saw that they were three young talents who looked quite unfamiliar.

How come Lu Weiqi doesn't know what he means? He hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "These three people are called the 'Three Talents of the Valley'. They are Wen Tingshu, also known as Boyong; Zhang Shifan, known as Shengzhi; and Shizuo, known as Jinggong!"

Oh? It turns out that the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king. Although there are many people who have been invited, they are still waiting and watching. It is estimated that these three people were moved by their own ambitions and stepped forward to serve.

Zhang Shun's heart brightened, and he couldn't help but praise: "It turned out to be three young talents, and now they are willing to serve as volunteers. It is really an honor!"

"You three, please follow me and work as clerks for a period of time. If there is a shortage in the prefecture and county, it will not be too late to surrender!"

If you follow Zhang Shun to do paperwork, you have to train him as a confidant. When we go back to the provinces and counties, we will select them according to the standards of feudal officials and central government officials.

Not to mention what will happen in the future, but just releasing it to the prefectures and counties is enough to move people's hearts.

What did I do in the cold window for ten years? Half for the common people and half for an official!

According to their knowledge, it may take ten or twenty years before they can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi. If they wait until they are released as officials, they don't know how long it will take to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

This is indeed a "gold belt for murder and arson, but no corpses for repairing bridges and roads"!

For a moment, the eyes of all the students shone brightly. They did not care about the serious crime of beheading the nine clans. They recited poems or composed poems one after another, trying their best to show off their talents.

Lu Weiqi couldn't help but smile, and with a thirsty mouth, he introduced Zhang Shun one by one.

Zhang Shun also successively recruited talented people: Yao Gentang, Yang Ying, Ding Taiji, Yang Yan, Yang Shiying, Liu Shaozhou, Shi Yue, Tian Naishi, Li Qinan, Zhang Jianheng, Zhang Zushu, Wu Zhiping, Liu Jie, Xu Qi and more than 50 people .

For a time, both the guests and the host were happy, and the lantern viewing party was a great success.

Only Lu Weiqi complained angrily: "It's a pity that Meng Huali and Zhang Baochu have passed away, otherwise there would be even more literati from all over the world!"

"What's even more deplorable is that Mrs. Xu, the spiritual treasure, refused to sell it to me even if she didn't have the dignity to do so. No one in the family is willing to come."

Thinking of this, Lu Weiqi was still a little aggrieved.

It's no wonder that Lu Weiqi has such an attitude. The Lingbao Xu family flourished in the early to mid-Ming Dynasty. Xu Jin and his three sons were all ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Father and Son's Four Ministers" are rare in ancient and modern times. Even Lu Weiqi, who has become the representative of the Confucian scholars in Henan Prefecture, does not dare to vent his anger loudly in front of others.

Of course, Lu Weiqi seemed to be complaining, but he was actually repaying his merits. It has the style of "Versailles" in later generations.

How could Zhang Shun not know? He couldn't help but waved his hand and said with a smile: "The way of heaven is reincarnated, and the rise and fall are constant. Although the Xu family is very famous, but now the talent is withering and it is no longer as prosperous as before, so what is it worth?"

"Today it was all thanks to Lu Gong's efforts that we were able to recruit all the heroes from Henan. If not, even if I captured the land of Yuzhou, I would have no choice but to sigh in despair and reluctantly abandon it!"

"It's too praised, it's too praised!" Although this is just a transaction between the two parties, in fact, the two parties have formed a civil and military alliance.

Lu Weiqi didn't say anything, but he was quite proud in his heart.

In the past, when Xun Yu met Cao Cao, all the counselors from Yingchuan returned to Wei; now, I, Lu Weiqi, meet King Shun, and all the scholars from Henan are in good service, and there is almost no difference between the common people!
