please make me king

Chapter 1679 Take Nanjing Again
Ten miles of towers, thousands of lights, Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times.

When Zhang Shun arrived at Yangzhou City, it was already night, and he intuitively felt the magnificent scene of "ten miles of Yangzhou, with endless lights".

"Look, Your Highness, the so-called 'Three parts of the world are bright moonlit nights, and two parts are rogues are Yangzhou' refers to this place." Qian Qianyi could not help but act as a tour guide.

"Your Highness, don't worry that it's winter at this time, and flowers and willows are everywhere. It will be another scene in spring."

"En!" Zhang Shun nodded upon hearing the words, and couldn't help but look around. He saw that Yangzhou City was bordered by hills in the north and a river in the south, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions in a patchwork order, surrounded by green water.

If it is spring at this time, I think it must be a beautiful picture of Yangzhou with fireworks in March.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

Look, it is because of my participation that this bustling history has avoided the destruction of the butcher's knife, the lights of thousands of families here will not turn into flames of war, and there is also one less alley called "Screw Knot Top".

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Just when Zhang Shun was full of emotion, Hong Chengchou had already led the city officials, salt merchants, and big households to welcome him out.

"Huh? Ha!" Zhang Shun came back to his senses, looked at this famous "big traitor" in history, nodded and smiled, "You've done a good job, try not to disturb the people!"

"Weichen has already made arrangements. Now the store in Yangzhou city has never closed, the people have never closed their accounts, everything is as usual, everything is as usual!" Hong Chengchou quickly replied.

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Zhang Shun nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the crowd, "This king raises troops for the sake of the people, and when he goes down to the city, he is not allowed to kill, loot, or commit adultery. Those who rebel will be killed!"

"Please also live and work in peace and contentment, and don't be disturbed by military affairs."

"Your Highness is holy!" The city officials, salt merchants, and big households couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly worshiped, "It's our luck to have the Holy King like this, the luck of Yangzhou, and the luck of the world."

"Now we have prepared some simple tea and light meals in Mingyue Tower, and I would like to invite His Highness to show you the honor, so as to show some kindness to the people of the whole city."

"Oh? Then I'll have to work!" Zhang Shun couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly thanked them, almost frustrating everyone.

After three rounds of dishes and five tastes of wine, everyone was half drunk, Zhang Shun was also a little tipsy.

At this time, a group of salt merchants actually wanted to make a night tour of the West Lake. What is the difference between this and later generations who eat barbecue after the banquet, and sing K after the barbecue?
Therefore, Zhang Shun refused flatly: "The king is exhausted, and I will not accompany you today. Please do it yourself!"

Then, under the stunned eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran left.

"This..." Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, with stunned faces for a moment.

This bumpkin really doesn't understand anything!

It turned out that the officials, salt merchants and wealthy households had already found out about Zhang Shun's preference for female sex, so they invited famous prostitutes from the Qinhuai River to accompany him.

It's just that everyone was thinking about everything, and they never expected that Zhang Shun would not go at the critical moment.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Everyone couldn't help spreading their hands and staring at each other.

"Your Highness is so valuable now, why is there any reason to recruit prostitutes?" In the end, Qian Qianyi suggested, "Why don't we get together and buy a nobleman, and give it to Your Highness to play with."

"Even if we can't get what we want, as the saying goes: don't be surprised if there are many people who are polite, and it also says: don't hit the smiling face with your hand, as long as we want it."

"Hey, don't say it, this is really a solution!" Everyone couldn't help but slapped their thighs and nodded in agreement.

Not to mention how everyone is doing, let's say that when Zhang Shun returned to the house, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.

While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who?" Zhang Shun asked impatiently.

"It's me, Master!" The voice of "Brother Monkey" sounded outside, ah no, Wukong's voice.

"What's the matter?"

"Send a female... female fairy!"

"Well, let her come in!" At first Zhang Shun didn't want to talk to her, but after thinking about it, the people he fooled so easily supported him, and he couldn't show any displeasure at this time, so he agreed.

Immediately there was a "squeak" sound from the door, and someone pushed the door and walked in, and then a crisp voice sounded: "Your Highness, I... I will serve you... You rest..."

"Pour me a glass of water!" Zhang Shun just felt a little thirsty, and couldn't help struggling.

"Yes!" The woman couldn't help trembling, she quickly got up and poured a cup of tea, and handed it over on her knees.

Zhang Shun glanced at the light, and saw that the woman was not very old, with a graceful figure and a good face, she was a very beautiful woman.

"Zi Liu!" Zhang Shun ate the cup of tea in one gulp, then pointed to the teapot and said, "Give that to me!"

"Okay." The woman was taken aback for a moment, and quickly offered the teapot again.

This pot of good tea has been kept for a long time, and now it is neither hot nor cold, and it tastes just right.

So, Zhang grabbed it by the way, and had a mouth-to-mouth with the good purple sand teapot, tons, tons, tons!
"Ha!" Zhang Shun burped in satisfaction, then returned the teapot and said, "I'm impotent, just find a place to sleep by yourself later."

"When they ask tomorrow, you'll say that I'm alive and well, and I didn't go to sleep until midnight. Do you understand?"

"..." The woman never expected Zhang Shun to say such an astonishing remark, and was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that Zhang Shun was not fake, but the distance from Fengyang to Yangzhou was 210 miles, Zhang Shun did both ways in order not to delay the military situation.

I set off before dawn this morning, and arrived in Yangzhou this evening. My whole body was almost torn apart. How could I care about her?

In fact, if it wasn't for appeasing these people, he didn't even want to participate in tonight's banquet.

Just as Zhang Shun lay down there, he snored not long after.

The woman felt ashamed and unbearable, and she couldn't help crying secretly.

It turned out that this woman was not from a thin horse in Yangzhou, as Zhang Shun thought, but a real daughter with a lot of money.

However, the family was in decline, and the mother was sick in bed, so he had no choice but to fall into prostitution.

For them, serving a servant for the first time is like a girl getting married, and it must be done in an extremely grand manner.

And she also put on the red dress early, pretending that it was her wedding dress.

But she never expected that her "sister-in-law" is actually such a character, not only turning a blind eye to her own face, but also a man who does not do anything positive and indulges in his clan.

When she thought that she would commit herself to such a person for the rest of her life, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

After crying like this for most of the night, I didn't fall asleep until I was exhausted.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Shun woke up refreshed, only to find that there was a person lying beside the bed.

He put her on the bed, then closed the door gently and went out.

"Your Highness!" Qian Qianyi, Hong Chengchou, and Liu Zeqing waited outside the door early.

"En!" Zhang Shun nodded, and suddenly asked, "Where is Shi Kefa, the guard of Yangzhou City?"

Seeing Hong Chengchou, he couldn't help thinking of Shi Kefa.

As the saying goes: the facsimile of Shi Jianliu can be legalized;

The two are a capable official and a mediocre person, and a loyal minister and a loyal minister. They are a pair of diametrically opposed control groups.

"The Shige Department, the Shige Department, is stubborn, and has already committed suicide," Hong Chengchou was taken aback when he heard the words, and could not help but reply in a low voice.

"Oh?" Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This is exactly how to know the pines and cypresses in the cold season, and the plum fragrance in the bitter cold. There is no prince who is not a friend, and the emperor is not a subject, so he is worthy of his arrogance!

"Your Highness?" Seeing Zhang Shun's expression, Qian Qianyi couldn't help feeling ashamed, and couldn't help calling out.

"Oh, let's have a good burial!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but respond lightly when he saw the expressions of the crowd and didn't know what they were thinking.

Some people are like a mirror, and only by seeing them face to face can people know their ugliness.

Now the mirror of Shi Kefa not only reflects Qian Qianyi and Hong Chengchou, but also how many fools are they?
It's a pity that today's Zhang Shun, as the monarch of a party, is too old to be impulsive, so he has to temporarily ignore it.

Seeing that Zhang Shun did not pursue this matter deeply, Hong Chengchou heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, I have found out that the Guazhou ferry south of Yangzhou is crossing the river."

"Zhu Dadian has abandoned the city and fled to the south, Zhu Dadian has abandoned the city and fled to the south!" However, before Hong Chengchou finished speaking, a loud voice rang out, and everyone was shocked and turned pale.

"what?"

"His Royal Highness Qizuo, I found out just now. When Zhu Dadian heard that the rebels captured Fengyang and Yangzhou, and captured the important towns in the north of the Yangtze River, he was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled!" Some soldiers reported earlier.

It turns out that after the rebel army occupied the capital, Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain, and the entire remnant forces came out of many political sects, fighting and arguing with each other.

Now that Zhu Changhao and Yang Sichang are dead, and Zu Dale, Zu Kuan, Liu Zeqing and others have defected to the rebel army, how can Zhu Dadian fight to the end without a ruler or ministers?
Therefore, they were terrified when they heard the news, and walked away without fighting.
