please make me king

Chapter 718 Decision
Zhang Shun took Zhao Yutou, Ma Yingniang, Gao Guiying and other people to visit many places, and did not return to Luoyang city until it was getting late.

All the food brought by the people was given to the hungry people, so Zhang arranged for the people to go down to rest and eat, but he sat there with a straight face and didn't speak, feeling sulking.

The two women didn't know how to comfort him, so Gao Guiying simply hid and cooked for him.

A few words of persuasion by Ma Yingniang didn't work, so she had to call Li Sanniang, Hong Niangzi and Li Xiang over.

On the way, Ma Yingniang had already briefly told them about the matter.

When they came in, Zhang Shun looked up and saw Zhang Huaji and Zhang Pingan who followed Li Sanniang.

"Come on, let me hug you!" The two children were only one or two years old, and they were toddlers and babblers.When they met Zhang Shun, they were a little skeptical, no matter how much Li Sanniang urged them, they refused to go forward.

Zhang Shun didn't think too much of himself, he rarely saw them while he was fighting north and south these days, so it's normal to have a bit of life.

Seeing all the girls mobilizing the teachers, he sighed and said: "I know you are here to persuade me, I have nothing to do, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable, you don't have to worry!"

"Can you imagine? Children as old as Huaji and Pingan are abandoned everywhere in the village along the roadside."

"Not abandoned, skinny, slender limbs, with a big belly, looks pitiful! As a father, I really can't see these..."

As he talked, Zhang Shun couldn't help wiping away his tears.

The red lady couldn't help her big belly when she saw it, she walked over to gently caress Zhang Shun, and persuaded in a low voice: "I'm going to be a mother soon, I can't help but feel uncomfortable just listening to you, let alone You saw it with your own eyes."

"Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog. We will support you in whatever you want to do. You are King Shun, the king of benevolence and righteousness, and you will not disappoint the world!"

"What kind of king am I?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing at himself when he heard the words, "All the virtues in the world began with Emperor Yu. I just restrained the soldiers a little bit, and I didn't do anything for the people. What virtue and ability do I have?" , dare to compare with King Shun?"

"Master, the ancient sage king, the legend of the three generations, has been going on for a long time, so it may not be true." The women couldn't help comforting them when they heard the words, "You took in the refugees along the way, and you didn't torture or kill them. It's rare for the people to praise you. We don't care about others. No matter how you look at it, in our hearts, you are our King Shun!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun was so moved that he couldn't help looking over one by one, looking at the pretty faces with worries, and seriously assured: "Don't worry, I won't let you down, and I won't let the world down either."

"I don't want to be a son of King Shun, but I have to go through my own conscience in doing things! I have been here before. If the world can't become better, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come to this world?"

Early the next morning, a group of people headed by Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi, and Song Xiance rushed over and saw Zhang Shun eating there.

On the long table were two dishes of side dishes, some steamed buns, and a bowl of millet porridge.Zhang Shun tossed it over and over with his chopsticks, he didn't even have any heat, and he hadn't even taken a bite yet.

Lu Weiqi's son, Lu Zhaolin, met him, and in order to make up for his previous mistakes, he hurriedly asked, "King Shun's life is too simple, but it's not to your liking? Later, I'll find you some cooks and send you some bags of rice noodles?" "

Zhang Shun waved his hand, and responded meaningfully: "I can't eat!"

Immediately afterwards Zhang explained in detail what happened yesterday when he left the city, and everyone didn't know what he meant, so they quickly thought about it.

Unexpectedly, a bastard suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wonderful! This poem by King Shun goes beyond the magnificence of Tang and Song Dynasties, inherits the style of Wei and Jin, and has the generous and tragic style of Wei Wu!"

But before the man finished speaking, someone seized the opportunity to attack and said: "What kind of man is King Shun, and what kind of man is Cao Mengde? This man compares the king of Shun with rebellious ministers and thieves, and his heart is to be punished!"

"Nonsense! Nonsense! I compared the poems of King Shun to the Three Caos. I was just talking about the matter. Why did I mention Cao Cao, and you thought of the traitor? When you thought of the traitor, you connected with the king of Shun. It is clearly you. Think about it day and night!" The man immediately beat him up when he heard the words.

"You spitting blood! I..." The man was also in a hurry, and quickly retorted.

It's just that these two people came and went again and again, which made Lu Weiqi break out in cold sweat.

It turns out that King Shun was compared to "Cao Mang's generation", and he was the one who initiated the evil.

Seeing that the two were arguing inappropriately, Zhang Shun couldn't help but look cold, and was about to clean them up.

Unexpectedly, one of them jumped out, pointed at the two people's noses and cursed: "You guys read the books of sages, what do you learn? Confucius said to be benevolent, and Meng said to be righteous!"

"Now King Shun is benevolent and compassionate to the people. You can't help King Shun, just help him benevolent."

"On the contrary, he is entangled in poetry and small ways, leaving the common people in the water and fire, disregarding the situation, and criticizing each other. Where is the friendship of his fellow countrymen? Where is his benevolence, righteousness and courage?"

"I ask King Shun to punish him for the crime of disrespect, so as to set an example to others!"

Zhang Shun took a look in surprise, and found that this person was actually recommended by the old mountain chief, Li Jiqi, the student of Meng Jingong.

Before Zhang Shun heard that he was famous for his righteousness in the village, he thought that he was a well-known chivalrous person like Chen Changzhu, but he did not expect that he was a straight-hearted person who dared to speak out.

Zhang Shun glanced at him appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Now is the time to employ people, how can we punish the world's heroes for small mistakes?"

"That's all for this time. Go back and copy the ten volumes of Analects, and use it as a textbook for children in the school. I will punish you a little bit and admonish you a lot. If there is a next time, I will definitely not forgive you!"

Those two people had some sense of shame anyway, they were so ashamed to see others, they could only cover their faces and said: "King Shun is benevolent, King Shun is benevolent!"

In fact, it's not that Zhang Shun is magnanimous, the key is that there are only so many people under his command, if he is more critical, there will be no one to use.

The two had just retreated, and Zhang Shun was waiting to continue talking about the two of them.

Unexpectedly, instead of retreating, Li Jiqi stepped forward two steps, plopped down on his knees, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Shun, the little people of Henan Mansion pay homage!"

"King Shun now knows that the entire Henan Province has suffered from disasters for more than a year. There are hungry people almost everywhere, and there is famine in every household, and the number of dead is unknown!"

"The emperor of the Zhu family has no way. The Henan Mansion has been plagued by famines for years. Now the court has abandoned it, and the living people are waiting to be fed, looking forward to King Shun."

"I hope that King Shun can open a granary to release grain to help the people. Then you will be our Buddha."

"When the time comes for King Shun to use his troops, everyone in the Henan government will not dare to do their best! Men will fight, women will farm, and the old and the young will carry the luggage. Although the Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers, how can we stop it?"
