Zhou Zheng went upstairs, and the four members of the Zhou family were still a little nervous.

Yuan Chonghuan's family was very polite, and he greeted him with a smile all the time, leading Zhou Zheng upstairs.

There was no box on the second floor, it was empty, only a person by the window was sitting sideways facing Zhou Zheng.

Dressed in a thick cyan cotton coat, sitting upright, from the side of his face, he has the kind of elegance unique to scholars at this time, but he is not cowardly and has his own spirit.

Zhou Zheng looked at it for a moment and walked over.

Yuan Chonghuan turned his head, looked at Zhou Zheng and smiled: "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

Zhou Zheng saw Yuan Chonghuan's face, he was indeed an elegant scholar, his eyes were calm and firm, and he looked like the kind of person with great ambitions.

Zhou Zheng wandered countless thoughts in his heart, thanked him, and sat down opposite Yuan Chonghuan.

Whether it was Yuan Chonghuan's family or the Zhou family, they all consciously withdrew not far away, looking at the two quietly.

Yuan Chonghuan has been glancing at the staircase since Zhou Zheng's footsteps sounded, and now he is sitting in front of him, looking at it naturally.

Without the politeness of talking about tea, Yuan Chonghuan said straight to the point: "Does Zhou Yushi think that I also want to abandon Liao, or that I conspired with Li Hengbing to frame Man Gui?" ”

Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly, stared at Yuan Chonghuan, and said, "Why does Lord Yuan know that I know that Lord Yuan has a correspondence with Li Hengbing?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan smiled slightly and said, "I can tell you that Li Hengbing did write to me to inquire about the situation in Liaodong as a superintendent of the imperial history, and I just answered some questions truthfully, that's all." Although there are some contradictions between me and Man Gui, they are only different in the way we govern the army, and we have no other grievances, so we will not do such a thing. ”

Zhou Zheng listened to Yuan Chonghuan's obviously explainative words, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Since my lord is straight to the point, you might as well say it more clearly." ”

Yuan Chonghuan is the governor of Liaodong in the end, and he has made great contributions, even if he is afraid of the court, but he is not afraid of Zhou Zheng, even if Zhou Zheng has caused some turmoil recently, he still can't shake Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't need to come to Zhou Zheng on purpose, and explained a lot.

Yuan Chonghuan looked firm and confident, but hesitated for a moment when he listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and said: "I am against abandoning Liao, if you abandon Liao, Shanhaiguan is irreversible, to the point where there is no retreat, what else can I do?" ”

No retreat means the most dangerous moment, no one will stand in a situation where there is no retreat, and even more so a country.

Zhou Zheng was not interested in his theory, but was only curious about why Yuan Chonghuan came to him.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhou Zheng's always calm expression, a little surprised in his heart, and then nodded secretly.

This person is either determined or has a mature view of Liaodong.

Yuan Chonghuan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said: "I have read your notebook, and there is indeed some merit, but you don't know anything about Liaodong, if you really change it according to your requirements, Liaodong may lose itself and lose its vitality." ”

Yuan Chonghuan was an opponent of reform and was also a conservative.

This was Zhou Zheng's first reaction.

The conservatives of the Ming Dynasty are very strong, and they demand that the existing power structure be maintained, oppose any reforms, and even restore the ancestral system!

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

Daming is now rotten to the bones, and if he doesn't scrape the bones to cure the poison, he can only wait to die.

However, most people haven't reacted yet, even if Jianyu has sat down, Liaodong is in mourning, and they are still immersed in the illusion that the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and they can't wake up.

Zhou Zheng put down the teacup and said, "Liaodong is a dying and struggling serious patient, and adults want to take their time and peel off the cocoon." But Xia Guan felt that if he had to take a fierce medicine, the fierce medicine might be fatal, but it was more likely to get a new life. ”

At this time, there is no choice but to vigorously reform and respond to the continuous new changes at home and abroad.

Zhou Zheng can only say this, not to mention the increasingly fierce rogues in China, the growing Jianyu outside the border, the era of great navigation has begun!

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhou Zheng, frowned after a while, and then nodded: "No wonder you and Li Hengbing are incompatible, your point of view, I'm afraid there is no place to stand in the court." ”

This Zhou Zheng was clearer than Yuan Chonghuan in his heart, and said: "My lord, do you think it will take me to pacify Liaodong?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan didn't answer Zhou Zheng's question when he heard it, but said, "Do you want to come to Liaodong?" Help me do something, and when it's over, you'll be able to go back to Beijing. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan's expression, knowing that he was afraid that he was also very pessimistic about the situation in Liaodong, but why did he later put forward the words 'five years of Pingliao', for the sake of power?

Zhou Zheng won't go to Liaodong, it's a whirlpool bigger than the capital, what can he do if he goes?

"My lord hasn't said what I want to do today." Zhou Zhengdao.

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes have a different color, he is now in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the government and the opposition are pinning their hopes on him to rectify Liaodong and deal with Jianyu, following him is a promising choice, why does this Zhou Zhengyun seem to be indifferent?

If Zhou Zheng knew, he would definitely scold a nonsense.

At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, where are the officialdom tumblers, not to mention Yuan Chonghuan, the frontier marshals, that is, the cabinet chiefs and assistants are not falling one by one, and there are very few good deaths?

Even if it's the emperor, it's not safe!

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhou Zheng, thought in his heart for a while, and said: "Originally, Zhejiang Dao had a supervising imperial history to build a captive, and it was Li Hengbing, but now Li Hengbing is in prison, and there is a vacant place, I recommended you to the emperor." ”

Zhou Zhengmeng's eyes widened and his face was shocked!

Zhou Zheng never expected that Yuan Chonghuan would bring him such a big surprise!

What is Yuan Chonghuan's purpose?

Zhou Zheng's mind was flying, he was firmly opposed to abandoning Liao, and he showed great vigilance against Jianyu in the court, and he should be classified as the 'main battle faction'.

This action to send Jianyu was proposed by Yuan Chonghuan, and on the surface, it was to deal with Jianyu and give Liaodong a chance to breathe and fight again. In fact, it is a peace journey led by Yuan Chonghuan!

Since it is a peace negotiation, why do you want to recommend Zhou Zheng, a firm main battle faction, to build a prisoner? Yuan Chonghuan wasn't afraid that Zhou Zheng would mess up his plans?

Or is there some conspiracy Yuan Chonghuan has to get rid of him?

For this Yuan Chonghuan, who dared to be pretentious and killed the island handsome Mao Wenlong without authorization, Zhou Zheng did not dare to be careless at all.

Zhou Zheng's expression changed slightly, he quickly calmed down, looked at Yuan Chonghuan with blazing eyes, and asked directly, "The emperor agreed?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan smiled and said, "I agreed, and I gave you the title of deputy envoy." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan deeply, picked up the teacup, and took a sip silently.

The more smiles on Yuan Chonghuan's face, he looked at Zhou Zheng for a long time.

This young man gave him a special feeling that every sentence was on the point, without half a word of nonsense.

Is it because the mind is too mature, or is there a master behind it?

Zhou Zheng quickly suppressed the suspicion in his heart, put down the teacup, and said lightly: "I am against the adults to negotiate peace, because Jianyu is a bloodthirsty beast, and they will not abide by it." The new chieftain ascended to the throne and reported the defeat of Ning Yuan, which was his best means of standing up for power. Next year, they will definitely come back! Instead of expending energy to negotiate peace, adults should prepare for war with all their might, and keep an eye on the movements of the captives and take precautions as early as possible. ”

Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and said, "Jianyu has just been defeated, and his morale has not recovered, so he will not come back in a short time." ”
