"What do you think should be done, sir?" Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Zongzhou and said with a smile.

Liu Zongzhou is not a corrupt Confucian who only reads and lectures, so he naturally thought about it before he came, and arched his hand: "The lower official hopes that Zheng Xibo can investigate impartially, and how to deal with other people involved in the case, the lower official has only one request, and the new earl title cannot be removed." ”

Zhou Zheng tilted his head slightly, looked at Liu Zongzhou, and said, "Is this your idea alone, or the idea of many people?" ”

Liu Zongzhou looked at Xiao Ke'er, who was about to reach out and grab his beard, and gently blocked it with his hand, and said: "It's really not the idea of Xia Guan alone, many people hope that Zheng Xibo can make a big deal small, and what Xia Guan asks for is only Xinjian Bo alone." ”

Zhou Zheng was a little sensitive, reached out and took the teacup, and fed Xiao Ke'er water.

Liu Zongzhou and the people behind him actually didn't care about the vassal kings of the clan, they also hated these parasites that sucked the bone marrow of the Ming Dynasty, but they only involved the national capital and had to be handled carefully. But then again, no matter how you deal with it, the emperor is here, and the clan will still be there, this can't be changed, but it's not so worrying.

It is the 'noble ministers', each of these princes and uncles has deep roots, very origins, and has the closest relationship with Wenchen, and their every move involves them.

Zhou Zheng put down the teacup, looked at Liu Zongzhou, and said, "In this way, the title is retained, but there is only one title." Including me, the title will be an honor from now on, and nothing else. ”

Titles such as 'Duke and Prince' are not only titles, but also hereditary and enjoy many preferential treatments, including a large number of wealth, land and political advantages.

This is a castrated version of the 'vassal king'.

Liu Zongzhou's 'kind' face didn't have any expression, just his pupils moved slightly, and he heard some flavor from Zhou Zheng's words.

He wanted to ask, but instead said, "Sect, is it the same?" ”

The clan, that is the emperor's kinship, it is the royal family, if it is just an honor like a noble, then the consequences are too terrible, and the emperor's authority is equivalent to being cut in half!

Who would dare to reduce the authority of the emperor?

Zhou Zheng picked up Xiao Ke'er, put him outside, let him play, and said lightly: "These are not things that Mr. should consider, they should be decided by the court and the emperor." ”

Liu Zongzhou sighed lightly in his heart, he really couldn't say anything, it was not easy to keep Xinjian Bo, he stood up and said: "Thank you for recruiting Xibo, the next official will retire." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at his back, thoughtful in his eyes.

The captain of the guard stepped forward and said in a low voice, "My lord, do you want to ......?"

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a lobbyist." Spread the word to the capital, cancel martial law, and return to their place. ”

"Yes." The captain of the guard responded.

Zhou Zheng looked up at this temple, there were no shops everywhere like in later generations, and when they entered the door to buy tickets, they also seemed to be incense and quite quiet, and everyone came with piety and left respectfully.

Shangguan Qing grabbed the little guy running around and said to Zhou Zheng: "Rest for a while, let's go back." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the big sun above his head and said, "It's too hot, let's wait for the evening to cool down before leaving." ”

Shangguan Qing blinked and said, "You want to stay here for half a day?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked down the mountain and said, "It's inevitable to be obsessed with yourself in the game, I'll stand a little higher and take a look." ”

Shangguan Qing didn't care, nodded, and let go of Xiao Ke'er.

The little guy suddenly pulled Shangguan Qing and ran around.

Zhou Zheng was holding a snack in his hand, with a smile on his face, curious, will there be any lobbyists in this Miaofeng Mountain?

Zhou Zheng's words soon spread to the capital, martial law was completely lifted, and all the people went out tremblingly and began to talk around to find out what had happened in the capital recently.

When Zhou Yanru heard the news, he felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and after noon, he entered the palace to see Zhu Cihong.

With this buffer, although Zhu Cihong calmed down, he was still angry and met Zhou Yanru in the East Warm Pavilion.

He stiffened his face and stared at Zhou Yanru with blood-red eyes.

Zhou Yanru's face was expressionless, and he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister knows that you are angry, but this matter must be closed as soon as possible, so as not to boil the world and rumors spread everywhere, which will be difficult to quell." ”

"What do you want to calm down?" Zhu Cihong's voice was indifferent.

Zhou Yanru looked at Zhu Cihong, as if he saw Chongzhen, his brows moved, and he said, "I ordered the three divisions to try and close the case as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Cihong snorted coldly and said, "Order? Do you want me to send half of my Ming clan to the guillotine? ”

Zhou Yanru paused and said, "Your Majesty, the longer things drag on, the more troublesome things will become, the third division has enough to do, give them time...... It's hard to be kind. ”

Zhu Cihong's face was distorted, and he sneered angrily: "You really think I am a child? This matter is clearly that you and Zhou Zhengyun have joined forces to control the government and eradicate my wings! ”

Li Zhong's face changed slightly, and his eyes looked at Zhu Cihong in shock and uneasiness.

Zhu Cihong's words were completely unexpected!

Zhou Yanru's face also changed, the emperor, does this see him?

Zhou Yanru suddenly felt worried in his heart, if Zhu Cihong looked at him like this, he would never end well in the future!

Zhou Yanru quickly settled down, the emperor in front of him was a little emperor after all.

He was silent for a moment and said, "It turns out that Your Majesty looks at the old minister like this, and the old minister has nothing to say. I only ask Your Majesty to issue an order as soon as possible to calm down the court discussion. Also, please do not reach the ears of Zeb. ”

Zhu Cihong's chest was about to explode, and he said loudly: "What if he hears it?" He has already controlled the capital, can he still dare to kill the king? ”

Zhou Yanru's brows furrowed, Zhu Cihong obviously knew a lot, if these words really reached Zhou Zheng's ears, he didn't know what would happen, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Zhong.

Li Zhong's face was pale, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

But he had a lot of hatred in his heart, and he didn't notice it for a while, and he didn't know which one of the thousands of knives actually said these rebellious bastard words to the emperor!

Zhou Yanru already knew who Li Zhong really was, turned to Zhu Cihong expressionlessly, was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister advises you not to say this kind of thing again, Zheng Xibo is loyal and has a great contribution to the Daming Society." Don't listen to the words of some villains. In addition, if His Majesty refuses to give a decree, the decree will also be promulgated. ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes widened angrily, he stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Don't think! No one can touch my jade seal without my permission! I will never promise you to execute the prince of the clan, don't even think about it! ”

Zhou Yanru's heart is heavy, if the little emperor has some city mansions, things will still turn around, if the little emperor doesn't understand anything, he comes wantonly, and forces Zhou Zheng urgently, I don't know what will happen.
