Please ask me to be the emperor

It is said that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, was captured by Zhang Sanbai and put into prison in the palace. Although the rebels later recognized this person, Zhang Shun was busy with other things and could not care about him.

In this way, this guy had no choice but to stay with Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, and spend the whole day either talking about the art of war or playing chess pieces.

There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and one does not know how old he is in prison.

The two of them were a little leisurely at first, but after a long time, it inevitably became boring.

This morning, Lu Xiangsheng got up early as usual and warmed up by punching, but he woke up Hong Chengchou again.

He couldn't help complaining: "If you don't let people clean up early in the morning, you have to act like a scholar. What's the use of practicing this?"

"No matter how good you are in training, you are just a reckless man. Xiang Yu said it well, 'It is not enough to learn to defeat one person, but to learn to defeat ten thousand people'."

Lu Xiangsheng was very unhappy after hearing this, and said with a face: "If you had my ability, thousands of troops and horses would not be able to do anything to you, and you would still be caught and imprisoned?"

It turned out that Hong Chengchou was also a shameless person. He was embarrassed to say that he had no choice but to live in an ignoble manner and took the initiative to let Zhang Sanbai catch him.

Lu Xiangsheng did not doubt that he was there, and said that he was captured alive by the rebels.

Hong Chengchou was a little unhappy when he heard Lu Xiangsheng mention this.

He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Then I didn't see you being able to kill seven in and seven out among the thieves? Instead, a woman caught it with a fishing net. Hey, what a big bass!"

Lu Xiangsheng was choked to death by Hong Chengchou, and his face turned red. He couldn't help but want to use force to solve the problem, but Hong Chengchou, who had suffered a lot, stayed away early.

Seeing that he couldn't vent his anger, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to sit down. He put down a few straws and shouted with a smile: "Supervisor Hong, let's talk about it?"

"Go, go, go!" Hong Chengchou waved his hand, how could he do what he did?

He said disdainfully: "With all your tricks, who can you coax? How often does hand-to-hand talk turn into hand-to-hand fighting? I'm not a fool, can I continue to be fooled by you?"

It turned out that Lu Xiangsheng's chess skills were on par with Lu Weiqi's, but after he was replaced by Hong Chengchou, he lost more and won less.

Lu Xiangsheng was originally very concerned about winning and losing, but he was so anxious about losing that he couldn't help but mess up the chessboard.

Hong Chengchou was in sight of victory, so when he saw him acting rogue, he would inevitably make sarcastic remarks and say some unpleasant things.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't stand it, so he couldn't help but grab him and give him a good punch.

It stands to reason that both of them are high-ranking people and should not be so ignorant of self-respect. But the feeling of bullying others is so good. Anyway, it is idle, so it is inevitable to have some fun.

Hong Chengchou knew that he was single and weak and could not defeat the three people opposite him, so he had to stay away and ignore this rogue.

The two sides were silent for a long time, and Hong Chengchou was feeling uncomfortable in the prison again, so he couldn't help but take the initiative to say: "Old Lu, what do you think this is... what is the intention of the thief chief?"

"He arrested us both, but he didn't kill us, and he didn't let us go. Why are we locked up here?"

"How do I know? Maybe I have forgotten, but not necessarily." Lu Xiangsheng did not "care about past grudges" and guessed casually.

"That's impossible!" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, shook his head and asserted, "What status do you and I have? We are the pillars of the imperial court, the pillars of the Ming Dynasty! Without me and me, most of the Ming Dynasty would have collapsed, and the rebellious officials and traitors would not be able to stop us. Know the importance of you and me!”

"Come on! I only have one or two thousand soldiers under my command. If you have more people under your command, you can only have forty or fifty thousand soldiers. If the Ming Dynasty's pillars were so thin, they would have been gone long ago!" Lu Xiangsheng laughed at himself.

"Yes, so the imperial court still has the strength to fight!" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, asserted, "But in this way, it will be very difficult to control the thieves, and the government and the public will have a headache!"

Debating politics like this is one of the hobbies of scholar-bureaucrats, and it can be used to express one's ambitions and insights. It has always been loved by literati.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was concentrating on discussing current affairs, Lu Xiangsheng stopped looking for trouble. After thinking seriously for a moment, he responded: "The traitors have a worry, and the court also has a worry, because they want to become a bandit."

"Submissive thieves have become sitting bandits, so naturally they cannot roam around and can easily be wiped out by officers and soldiers. This is the worry of submissive thieves. However, once the submissive thieves collude with the gentry of Henan Prefecture, I am afraid that they will be deep-rooted and difficult to control, and they will cause trouble to the world! "

"Collusion? How to collude!" Hong Chengchou sneered, "You mean the collusion that smashed the heads of the gentry, humiliated their wives and daughters, and robbed them of all their valuables?"

He had more contact with the "Qin invaders" and didn't take it seriously.

Lu Xiangsheng had also dealt with this group of "Qin bandits" in Yunyang and knew their virtues. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Among all the bandits, the shun thief is the most cunning. Lu Weiqi, a famous scholar from Henan, was also imprisoned before. I heard with my own ears that he was colluding with thief Lu. He was prepared to let Lu thief's son be released on the condition of releasing him. Thief Lu persuaded the gentry of Henan Prefecture to join the bandits."

"How dare he?" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, could hardly believe his ears. Was it the sun rising in the west?

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "Supervisor Hong, don't try to show off your strength and fight ruthlessly all day long. When you have time, you should pay more attention to the knowledge of managing the world and benefiting the people!"

Well, Hong Chengchou almost cursed when he heard this.

He knew Lu Xiangsheng's political views, which were to demand taxes on wealthy households and landlords. This is no joke. Have you ever seen anyone stab himself?

The vassal king, gentry, bureaucrats and frontier troops are all the pillars of the court. Which one can you kill?

Hong Chengchou is much smarter than Lu Xiangsheng. He doesn't care where the taxes come from. As long as he is not shortchanged by Hong Chengchou and the soldiers under his command, he can win the battle and be promoted to a noble rank.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Hong only knows the military ear and knows nothing else."

"So you were captured by thieves in the first battle?" Lu Xiangsheng asked, and couldn't help but expose his old background.

Hong Chengchou was angered by him again and again, and couldn't help asking: "Then how good are you, the governor of Yunyang?"

"I only have 500 standard soldiers and 600 rough soldiers under my command. It is normal for them to be destroyed by thieves!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but retort.

"Then..." Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, wanted to defend himself, but when the words came to his lips, he found that it was pointless to force his words.

He couldn't help but sigh and said: "Actually, you are right, both of us are not good enough, and I guess the others are even less good."

"I am the first to blame for the defeat of this battle. Once the imperial court's 40,000 troops are wiped out, I'm afraid Shaanxi will not be able to rest in peace!"

"Based on my guess, the traitors will definitely march into Shaanxi this time, and I don't know who can stop them!"

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but frowned when he heard this and said: "In fact, Nanyang Mansion is also empty. Once the thieves go south, it won't be much better. As for what will happen to the Ming Dynasty, we can only leave it to fate. I, the two imprisoned people, are really powerless!"
