In early summer, Xiangyang, the city was prosperous at this time much higher than a few months ago. Of course, there are geographical reasons for it, but more because Zhang Shun has come back to take charge in person and the court is in his hands. These things have also given great encouragement to ordinary people. Everyone believes that as long as Zhang Shun is here, there will be no problem.

In recent times, Zhang Shun has achieved few achievements. The Southern Expedition Legion and his local left-behind troops have basically not fought, and some are trivial battles that are not worth mentioning. However, Zhang Shun knew that Xu Ning was making adjustments. As long as he was asked to sort things out, there would be no obstacles to the subsequent battle. What's more, he did not win but did not lose. A series of small victories even increased the already sluggish morale. The Southern Legion will soon reveal the sharp teeth that it should have. Then Zhang Hongfan will know who Xu Ning is.

In other aspects, Zhang Shun himself couldn't believe the progress in the past three months. The first thing that surprised him was talent. As Ma Xiao said before, when Zhang Shun finally expressed his attitude, many people have come to join him in the past period of time. There are really a few talented and famous among them. Zhang Shun naturally treated them with courtesy and all gave them high positions, and they immediately devoted themselves to Zhang Shun's plan and spared no effort to make suggestions for Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun is naturally aware of the purpose of these people, but Zhang Shun doesn't care. As long as he can afford it, it's not a problem. Everyone is thinking of making a big name to make a name for themselves. Now that the opportunity has come, it's a fool who doesn't do it.

Zhang Shun was also very unexpected in his relationship with the court. He originally thought that his previous actions would definitely cause a series of adverse effects, and even formally turned against the court. After all, he had offended Jiang Wanli and had no room for improvement. His actions should never cater to the Queen Mother's opinion.

But unexpectedly, the empress dowager chose to cooperate with Zhang Shun without hesitation. She seemed to be frightened by Zhang Shun's series of actions. She couldn't wait to agree to Jiang Wanli's request for resignation, and then pushed all the government affairs to Zhang Shun, and she just retained the right to stamp the imperial edict.

This made Zhang Shun think of Japan and Britain in another time and space. Both countries are constitutional monarchy and do a good job. Maybe he could try this method himself. Is it feasible? But soon he let go of this idea because he knew that this method would not work at all.

The situation in Britain is too far from that in China, and their political system has been preserved after countless compromises and struggles, because the people who once sat on the throne of the emperor were really strange in shape, and the British also maintained the spirit of contract they always pursued, which caused many strange problems in Guli. If it were not for the purpose of controlling more land, or for the sake of face, they were willing to retain a king with nothing. But the problem is that there is no contract spirit in China's tradition, and few people really abide by this, which will make this situation not last long.

And Japan is even worse. There is no way to do that shit. After all, the so-called emperor is just a joke. Especially now, the emperor cannot even eat enough and often goes to those vassals who dislike each other to borrow food. This also causes no one to have any desire for that location. They would rather be the patriarch of a large family than have any good feelings for that location.

But is it done in China? It is obviously impossible. The people of this country have awe of the court, but they do not have awe. They can say whether the whole world is the king's land, or that the emperor takes turns to make a rebellious word to my house tomorrow. People here believe in destiny more. When they think they are not full or warm in food, they will think that the destiny has shifted, and they will not hesitate when they stand up to resist.

Even if there is nothing, countless ambitions will come forward like mushrooms after a rain. These people cannot see or figure it out. So if Zhang Shun really changed his political structure, no one may stand up and dare to refute him when he is alive or when this country is strong, but what if hundreds of years later? Do you know if anyone will stand up and change everything, just like what he does today.

Since that's the case, why should I be so hard? It's just an emperor's position. Whether one day he wants to sit on it or continue to give this little emperor, it's the same. Flowers are not red for a hundred days. There will always be an unexpected situation one day, and then everything will turn into a cold fog, which will only be based on future generations to sigh. At this time, all he has to do is to walk step by step based on his original intention. No matter what the future is, it's fine.

After making this decision, Zhang Shun was in a good mood and was not so disgusted with some cumbersome things. Instead, he was very happy. Zhang Shun has recently gathered a group of capable people, among whom he just came to join, and Zhang Shun found it from his own. Anyway, they have become Zhang Shun's left-hand men and are still very good at handling the government affairs of the court. Zhang Shun also has confidence. As time goes by, these people's abilities will continue to grow, and he can hand over all the rights to the cabinet composed of these people with peace of mind.

As for the little emperor Zhang Shun, he had never been in contact with him before, but they have been in contact with him recently, and Zhang Shun then realized that this child, who was less than five years old, was actually very unhappy now.

As an emperor, he has no time to play. He has to practice various etiquettes and learn various knowledge every day. It seems that he wants to learn to become a wise emperor overnight. This is the hope of many people, but it is not the hope of this child.

So Zhang Shun did the opposite. Whenever he had the chance, he would lead the little emperor to play everywhere, or simply lead him to play various strange games directly, and he would not ask whether he would learn anything.
