Li Banghua looked at Zhang Heyi fiercely, his eyes were burning, and they were full of cold warnings.

The reason why Li Banghua can still sit in the position of the secretary of the military department is that Zhou Zheng has always appreciated and tolerated it, and secondly, because of the transaction between Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru.

But if Li Banghua has been stubbornly resisting Zhou Zheng's military reform plan, then send him to the cabinet, and the actual reduction of power will come later.

Zhang Heyi turned a blind eye to Li Banghua's warning eyes, and said, "Lord Shangshu, you should know very well that my family's tolerance for you is limited. I hope you will also be aware of the current affairs, and then continue, not to mention sending you a high promotion, it is only right to send you some silver back to your hometown. ”

Li Banghua secretly gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zheng Xibo, the lower officials still hope that you can be cautious." There is such a big thing, it shouldn't be decided by you alone, it needs to be discussed by the court, you need the emperor's will, you can't abuse your power. ”

Zhou Zheng sighed in his heart, this Li Banghua's stubbornness exceeded his estimates, and he couldn't keep it.

Zhang Heyi also shook his head secretly, too lazy to persuade again.

Li Banghua also knew that he had completely offended Zhou Zheng now, and after he had finished speaking, he didn't say anything more.

The carriage walked for a while, perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Li Banghua took the initiative to get out of the carriage.

Zhang Heyi couldn't help but say: "My lord, this Li Banghua has eaten the scales and deliberately followed us!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said: "He is not alone, in the future, we will encounter not only those misers who are hungry for profit, but also many people like Li Banghua." It doesn't seem to be selfish, but it's incompatible with them, desperately stopping us, so be mentally prepared......"

Zhang Heyi snorted and said, "My lord, then come more ruthlessly and send them all back to their hometown!" If this Li Banghua enters the cabinet, colludes with Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi, and adds an emperor who hates us to the core, it is better to eradicate it as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at him, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Don't say cruel things to me here, don't be scared when the time comes." ”

Zhang Heyi smiled and said, "When have the students been afraid." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, and just as he was about to say more, Liu Liuzhen appeared by the window on a horse, and said in a low voice: "Second young master, someone is here." ”

Zhou Zheng lifted the curtains and looked outside.

I saw three people standing on the side of the road not far away, and one of them was a middle-aged man, looking at Zhou Zheng's carriage with a smile.

Zhang Heyi sneered and said, "They really don't dare to come, have they completely forgotten the name of the adult's 'Hades'?" ”

Liu Liuzhen answered: "I think they may be cornered. ”

Zhang Heyi nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's the same." ”

Zhou Zheng lowered the curtain and said, "Let me come up after Ning." ”

The person who came was the messenger of Jianyu, sent by Huang Taiji, and came in secret!

Liu Liuzhen answered, and quickly arranged.

Soon, Ning Wan got into Zhou Zheng's carriage, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Outsiders, I have seen Zheng Xibo." ”

Zhang Heyi sneered and said, "Foreign? How outside? Also, aren't people like you supposed to kneel? Why are my knees soft, but they are hard when I get to Ming? ”

Ning Wan's expression did not move, and he said with a smile: "The customs and etiquette are different, why should Zhang Shilang be demanding." ”

Zhang Heyi's eyes showed murderous intent, and said, "What if I'm just demanding?" Do you think you can go back? ”

Ning Wan sat down with my legs bent opposite Zhou Zheng and said calmly: "Zheng Xibo is willing to see me, then he must want to talk, and some will talk." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled with some emotion: "Those who are hungry for profit are the smartest people. Fan Wenchen is, and so are you. ”

Ning Wan smiled as if he was really praised, and said, "My emperor once said that the expedition to Xibo would be the greatest enemy of the Qing Dynasty. Because you have seen far-reaching, and you can find that way, and do it at any cost, it is not surprising that you can get to where you are today. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Ning Wan, sighed softly, shook his head as if he had lost himself, and said, "I have received news a while ago that Huang Taiji is afraid that he will not be able to do it, how long can he live?" ”

Ning Wan's smile froze, and then said: "My emperor is blessed with Qitian, and he will not die young, thank you for your concern." ”

"After his death, who will take over as the thief chieftain?"

Zhou Zheng looked at Ning Wan's stiff smile and said, "Huang Taiji's son? It seems that there are few successful weapons, or his brother, it seems that there is only a good Dolgon, I heard that he conquered Mongolia a while ago and won a great victory? ”

Huang Taiji is sick, this matter has been going on for many days, and many people in Shenyang City feel that Huang Taiji may not last long.

Ning Wan was shocked by Zhou Zheng's ears and eyes in Shenyang, and said quietly: "Lao Zheng Xibo is worried, my emperor has his own arrangements." Let's talk about our cooperation. ”

Zhou just took a moment and said, "What benefits does Huang Taiji want to give me?" Are you sure you can impress me? ”

Ning Wan's expression was a little solemn, and he said, "My emperor can promise to Zheng Xibo that he will not go south for five years." We all know that the expedition to Xibo should concentrate on internal affairs, and the expedition should need this time very much. ”

Zhang Heyi sneered and said: "My dynasty has pacified the rebellion in the northwest, and the 200,000 army will move north soon, Huang Taiji is still thinking about how to deal with the 200,000 army!" ”

Ning Wan shook his head and said, "You won't, first, there are not many elites of your 200,000 army who can really fight; Second, the 200,000 army of your Ming Dynasty will not be easily used; Third, I am throwing away the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, and you have no certainty of victory. Four comes; Your court will not allow it, even with the prestige of Xibo, it will not be able to do it. ”

Zhang Heyi was stunned, looked at Ning Wan for a while, and turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng.

They had indeed decided internally that they would not immediately launch the Northern Expedition, and that was because they were not sure, but they did not have so many reasons that I had said.

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "Well, it is indeed a smart person." Then let me ask you another question: how long can you survive your situation? ”

Ning Wan said with a smile: "I founded the country between mountains and rivers in the Qing Dynasty, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be possible at the beginning of the founding of the country?" ”

Zhang Heyi said: "Really? Then why are you in such a hurry to negotiate peace? I've also heard that all of your royal belles have distributed food? Men hunting everywhere, women digging wild vegetables? ”

Ning Wan glanced at Zhang Heyi and said lightly: "Zhang Shilang, hearing is false, seeing is believing." Neither of us nor China wants to go to war, we have sufficient conditions for cooperation, and I believe that we can help Xibo a lot. ”

"For example?" Zhou Zhengdao.

Ning Wan said: "For example, Zheng Xibo is short of silver, and we have a lot of it in the Qing Dynasty. For example, medicinal materials, such as animal skins, such as all kinds of antique calligraphy, painting, and jade......"
