The reason why Zhou Qingli is serious every day is because the situation is very different.

If there is really something wrong with the Apocalypse, then no one can predict what Wei Zhongxian will do.

Now that Li Guopu and others are jumping up and down to impeach Wei Zhongxian and impeach the eunuchs, do they know that Tianqi is seriously ill and are deliberately doing these things? Is it autonomous, or is it instructed by whom?

If you think about it, you don't feel terrible, the water inside is too deep!

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, very worried, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Zheng was not sure about tomorrow's court meeting, and he didn't know how the court situation would develop, so he said: "Wait and see." ”

Zhou Qingli could hear that Zhou Zhengyan was not true, was silent for a while, and said: "I know you have a draft in your heart, but things may not go as you expected, you have to be patient when the time comes, even if you can't get used to it, there should be no loopholes in your words." If you want to cut off with the eunuchs, it's not that there is no other way. ”

It's too late.

Zhou Zheng secretly said in his heart, if the apocalypse did not die suddenly after falling into the water in August, but was seriously ill now, it would be different.

He had to cut off the eunuchs as soon as possible, the sooner the better!

The one on top is a person who will be revenged, once he is considered a eunuch, even if he does not die, he will not want to come out in that life!

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, pondered for a moment, and began to talk to Zhou Zheng about some things, which were some officialdom secrets and some hidden networks.

Zhou Zheng listened, and although he was prepared, he was still amazed.

Wei Zhongxian's relationship network is really huge, not only the high-ranking officials in the court are his lackeys, godsons, godgrandsons are countless, but also married with many noble ministers, inside the palace, the outer court, inside and outside the officialdom, the forces are intricate, dense, and the huge capital is simply Wei Zhongxian's alone!

Zhou Qingli talked to Zhou Zheng for a long time, and earnestly instructed: "Zhou Yingqiu's son is Wei Zhongxian's godgrandson, and Zhou Yingqiu has a close relationship with Wei Liangqing, the Duke of Suning, so don't be careless. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded silently, digesting the contents.

Zhou Yingqiu was a few years older than Wei Zhongxian, and he couldn't recognize Wei Zhongxian as his godfather, so he asked his son to recognize Wei Zhongxian as his godfather.

Wei Liangqing, Duke of Suning, is Wei Zhongxian's nephew, one of the most trusted people, he was still Suning Bo in August last year, and was promoted to 'Duke Suning' before the end of the year, and his relationship with Zhou Yingqiu was extremely close.

Zhou Qingli talked for a while before leaving.

Zhou Zheng stood at the door, looking at the bright moonlight, and exhaled deeply.

Liu Liuzhen walked over from not far away, looked at the sky, and said, "Second young master, rest early." ”

Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at him and said, "Hmm." By the way, I asked Wan Qianzhu to give you a prisoner in the Guozijian, Shangguanxun, and Cheng Jing, you can find a chance to go to the Guozijian with the two of them. ”

Liu Liuzhen was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and said, "Second Young Master, is it really? ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Can I still lie to you?" ”

Liu Liuzhen was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he looked up at Zhou Zheng with wide eyes.

Zhou Zheng smiled and did not speak.

The Ming Dynasty is now making a common practice of donating, and donating the name of a prisoner of the country is nothing, less than two hundred taels. If there is no relationship after graduation, or if there is no money, the inmates who come out will not be famous.

In the past, there was an old talent in Jiangnan who was more than 50 years old, who had not waited for an official position for most of his life, gritted his teeth, borrowed 3,000 taels in the township, bribed the internal supervisor, and got the fat shortage of the Tongzhou prefect!

Of course, Zhou Zheng didn't want these three people to be officials, just to facilitate their actions in the future.

The next day, there was no light at all.

Zhou Zheng got up, washed, dressed neatly, left Zhou's mansion, and went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Zhou family didn't seem to notice, as usual, quietly, without any sound.

In front of Zhou Qingli's room, he was wearing single clothes, looking at Zhou Zheng's back, and his face couldn't hide the gloom.

Fu Bo didn't know when he stood beside him, and sighed softly: "Master, now that the court situation is obscure, it is difficult for a righteous person to walk, and the second young master's character of not rubbing sand in his eyes really can't continue to stay." ”

Zhou Zheng has been in the company for less than a year, and the Zhou family has fallen into crisis three times and twice.

Zhou Qingli didn't hide it in front of Fu Bo, was silent for a long time, and said, "Do you think that Zhengyun is very similar to when I was young?" ”

Fu Bo was stunned, his expression seemed to be reminiscing, and it didn't take long for him to say: "At that time, the master was full of enthusiasm with many people in the same year, but those people were not dead and were degraded, and the master also spent nearly twenty years in the six branches. ”

Twenty years ago, it happened to be the time of the 'national capital dispute', but Zhou Qingli and others were not because of the national capital dispute, but because of the cabinet party dispute at that time.

Zhou Qingli also seemed to remember something, and said with emotion: "I hope Zhengyun will not follow my old path." ”

Fu Bo silently didn't speak again, looking up at the door where Zhou Zheng had already left.

Zhou Zheng arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the sky was still dark, first went to the class room, explained a few words to Yao Tongshun, and then followed Hu Qingzheng out of the corridor, standing outside the corridor and waiting.

Cheng Shangjie was an old man of half a hundred, with an expressionless face and stern eyes.

The three of them stood in front of the corridor, Hu Qingzheng glanced at the people around, and whispered to Zhou Zheng: "After the court, you look at my eyes and act." ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "Aren't you afraid of being affected by me?" ”

Hu Qingzheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his fat face, looked at the starlight that was faintly visible in the sky, and said, "I have already written to impeach the eunuchs yesterday, so I'm not afraid." ”

Zhou Zheng looked surprised, he didn't expect Hu Qingzheng to really dare.

Hu Qingzheng didn't turn his head, holding his big belly with both hands, and said with some gritted teeth: "The head has fallen off the bowl and has a big scar!" ”

Zhou Zheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "Don't be so nervous, like you, even if it is affected, you can come out with some money." Don't worry, if something happens, I won't die without help. ”

Hu Qingzheng was very happy when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng, and said, "That's a good feeling, I didn't make your friend ...... wrong."

Before he finished speaking, Hu Qing Zhenghu's eyes widened and he stared at Zhou Zhengdao: "What do you mean by being like me?" I'm your Shangguan! ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said nothing, and glanced at Cheng Shangjie beside him.

This person kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between Zhou Zheng and Hu Qingzheng.

Hu Qingzheng also complained, and then said with a serious expression: "You must listen to me!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Hu Qingzheng, his heart moved, and said, "Do you know something?" ”

Hu Qingzheng hesitated, turned his head, and said, "You just listen to me." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Hu Qingzheng's back and thought in his heart.

Hu Qingzheng has a relationship with Li Guopu, do you know something?

Not long after, the bell of the Metropolitan Procuratorate rang, followed by a burst of footsteps.

Cao Sicheng is the new Zuodu Yushi, he walks in the forefront, walking in a tiger's step, very imposing.

He was followed by a group of people, who didn't even look at Zhou Zheng and the others, and walked straight towards the gate of the Metropolitan Courtyard.

In their place, Hu Qingzheng and Zhou Zheng followed.

Escorted by a group of officials, the team walked towards the Forbidden City.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department are the three law divisions, and the official residence is outside the Daming Gate, which is not with the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, etc., so it is a little far away.

Entering from the Donghua Gate, the sky was still dark, and under the guidance of the lanterns of the inner prison, the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate continued to pass through the various gates and came to the front of the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace is already full of people, not only the internal supervisors, the supervision of the imperial history, but also the captain of the brocade clothes.

Of course, there are also the court officials who came early, and at a glance, there are at least forty people.

The people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood in their positions, and Cao Sicheng left the team and stepped forward to greet the adults.

The front of the Imperial Palace is very lively, and there is endless laughter.

Hu Qingzheng clasped his hands, closed his eyes slightly, but whispered to Zhou Zheng: "See?" These grown-ups came earlier than before. ”

Although it was still dark, Zhou Zheng looked at it seriously for a while, and suddenly said, "There are a lot of people." ”

If the people in front of them were all cabinet and the top of the six ministries, there would be less than twenty people at full level, and now they are close to forty.

Hu Qingzheng glanced at Cheng Shangjie and said in a low voice: "Many nobles are also here. ”

Zhou Zheng sighed, it's normal, such a big event, it is normal for the imperial court to invite more people to celebrate.

As the two were talking, footsteps sounded behind them, and another group of people approached.

Zhou Zheng and the others turned their heads to look, even though it was dark, they still vaguely judged that these people were from Liaodong.

After approaching, Zhou Zheng recognized Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, another thin and tall general, who should be Zhao Shujiao.

The three of them were led by the inner prison, silently, and walked forward and stood where the military headquarters was.

As soon as these people stopped, there was another dense sound of footsteps, this time more people.

Zhou Zheng looked at the dim light and found that they all didn't know each other, ranging from their early twenties to half a hundred.

Hu Qingzheng glanced at Zhou Zheng's expression and said in a low voice, "Wei family." ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly realized that the Wei family had more than a dozen people who wanted to be knighted, and naturally they also wanted to go to court.

Suddenly, Cheng Shangjie, who had not spoken, snorted coldly, opened his eyes, and looked at the group of Wei family members with fierce expression.

Zhou Zheng glanced at him with some surprise, only to see that he closed his eyes again, with a look of disgust.

This group of Wei family members almost walked to the front, and immediately the front was more lively, and there were bursts of loud or small voices, and the crowd gradually gathered around.

Zhou Zheng looked at it and shook his head secretly, the situation was so dark that everyone was used to it.

Zhou Zhengzheng shook his head, and another group of people came, as many as four or five.

There were not many people before them, and their steps were calm, and their steps were gentle, and they walked straight ahead.

Zhou Zheng didn't know these people, so he asked Hu Qingzheng and said, "Who are they?" ”

Hu Qing Zheng's fat face moved, hesitated for a while, and said with a pity: "Zhan Shi." ”

When Zhou Zheng heard these two words, he immediately understood.

This is Li Guopu and others.

Zhou Zheng looked at their backs, these people were all future ministers, Shoufu.

Zhou Zheng looked at the large group of people in front of him and said to himself: "Today, it's really lively." ”

Hu Qingzheng looked a little frightened, and said, "It's not even now, it will definitely be more lively in the court later." ”

Zhou Zheng understood what he meant, now that all kinds of forces are here, once the court is opened, it will definitely not be a simple reward conference.

The front was lively for a while, and when the bell in the palace rang, it reluctantly dispersed, looking at the main entrance of the Huangji Hall with staggered eyes.

This is the first bell, and you can't get in until the third.

Although the crowd stood in two rows, they exchanged heads and whispered incessantly.

It can be seen that the person in front of him seems to be in a good mood, and his voice is hearty, echoing endlessly in front of the hall.

Hu Qingzheng hugged his stomach, kept glancing at those people, and whispered to Zhou Zheng: "See, if you don't speak, don't speak." ”

Zhou Zheng now understood what he meant, and said the same: "Don't follow the conversation around, wait and see what happens." ”

Today's court is destined to be lively, and the consequences of being lively must be very serious, and ordinary people can't bear it!

Moreover, the real change is barely the beginning.

As soon as Zhou Zheng's words fell, a person in front of him suddenly came out of the queue and turned around and walked towards the back.

Hu Qingzheng's open mouth suddenly closed, staring at the people who came out of the ranks.

This person suddenly came out of the ranks, attracting the attention of many people, following the back.

This person kept walking backwards, and the direction was not obvious at first, and it didn't take long for him to come straight in the direction of Zhejiang Road.

Many people changed color and looked at the place where a group of people were standing in Zhejiang Road.

Hu Qingzheng stood up straight with a big belly and did not squint.

As this person approached, he saw his face clearly-Ministry of Works, Zhou Yingqiu!

The former official of the ministry!

Although Zhou Zheng didn't know Zhou Yingqiu, he guessed it from his official uniform, and watched him approach without moving.

Zhou Yingqiu is taller than Zhou Zheng, in his fifties, with clear face and distinct facial features, he was very handsome when he was young.

He walked in front of Hu Qingzheng and stopped, but his eyes looked at Zhou Zheng, and said with a smile: "You are Zhou Zhengyun?" ”

The people around Hu Qingzheng looked very vigilant, raised their hands one after another, and said, "I've seen Lord Zhou." ”

Zhou Zheng didn't expect Zhou Yingqiu to find him directly, raised his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Yingqiu glanced at Zhou Zheng, nodded, and said with a smile: "I have read the script of your impeachment of me, except for being naïve, there is still merit. ”

This is a gesture of the elders seeing the juniors, not at all like the two impeachment sides in the officialdom, hating each other and fighting each other.

Zhou Zheng pondered Zhou Yingqiu's purpose in his heart, and said with an unmoved expression: "My lord praised it falsely." ”

Zhou Zheng will not be deceived by Zhou Yingqiu's face, not only that he let his son recognize Wei Zhongxian as a godfather, but he also has a nickname: 'Hoof General Constitution'.

is that Wei Liangqing especially likes to eat hooves, and Zhou Yingqiu has practiced a good cooking skill of burning hooves!

In the third year of the Apocalypse, he resigned in a hurry in order to avoid the Donglin Party, and as a result, in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, he ascended to the throne of the official department, and it was because of this good skill that he became Wei Liangqing!

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Zhou Zheng and said with an approving smile: "Later, when you go to the court, you personally admit your mistakes to the emperor, and after the next court, you come to my house." ”

Hu Qingzheng's face changed slightly when he heard this, he stood still, and looked at Zhou Zheng with his spare eyes.

Zhou Zheng heard the trap in Zhou Yingqiu's words and the meaning of both grace and power, paused for a moment, and said: "The lower official is not wrong, I don't know what mistake the lord wants the lower official to admit to the emperor?" ”

Zhou Yingqiu's smile decreased a little, his tone was calmer, and he said, "You just joined the office, and you don't know too much." Whether it is the abolition of the eight towns or the reward for this time, the imperial court has its own considerations, and there is no need for you to deliberately write a book. Some people will think that you have a special relationship with Liaodong, so be cautious. ”

What Zhou Yingqiu said is not implicit, if Zhou Yingqiu is now, it is determined on the spot that Zhou Zheng and the Liaodong generals have 'collusion' and 'traffic', that is ironclad evidence, and Zhou Zheng can be directly sent to Beizhen Fusi Prison now!
