Zhou Ding knew Shangguan Qing's temperament, looked at his father and father-in-law chatting not far away, leaned closer, and comforted: "Second uncle is almost time to come back, don't leave this time, don't worry about it anymore." ”

Shangguan Qing knew more than Zhou Ding's, his eyes flashed worriedly, and he said with a smile: "Well, thank you, sister-in-law." ”

The women were talking, Zhou Qingli and Ding Mian, and Shangguan Xun were also laughing and chatting.

Ding Mian said: "When Zhengyun was small, I felt that it was not a thing in the pool, you see, after ten years of entering the office, he entered the high position of the six servants, and the lintel of the Zhou family was glorious......"

Shangguan Xun was born as a businessman, and his status was lower than that of Zhou Qingli and Ding Mian, so he was a little more restrained, but he just smiled and agreed.

Zhou Qingli was the most emotional, looked at Ding Mian and said, "You old guy, you still want to regret your marriage......

Ding Mian's old face turned red and said, "Nonsense! When did I regret my marriage? Two children are childhood sweethearts and have deep feelings, am I the kind of person who beats mandarin ducks? Besides, where is Hengping going? ”

Zhou Qingli was too lazy to argue with him, and said: "Zhengyun wrote several times, and the letters praised Ding Qi, saying that he had made great progress, and this time, he was also going to be taken to the military department, although he had no fame, but he had the ability, and he still had a ...... future."

Zhou Zheng went to Yongping Mansion in the new year, Ding Qi followed, and there were seven or eight years of time, he was still a fledgling hairy boy at the beginning, and now he is nearly thirty years old, starting a family, more than stable, and with outstanding ability.

Ding Mian listened, smiled very satisfied, and said, "Of course......"

Zhou Qingli glanced at him and smiled.

Everyone was talking, looking out of the door from time to time, waiting for when Zhou Zheng would come back.

……

On the gimbal, Chongzhen chatted with Zhou Zheng for a while, as always, he felt that Zhou Zheng was not close, his heart was bored, and he ended the summons with a smile on his face.

Zhou Zheng and Yang Sichang went out of the Qianqing Palace, the two are now the main deputy, and Zhou Zheng is about to go to the military department to report on his work, so he walked all the way to Daming Gate.

The military headquarters was outside the Daming Gate, and the two of them paced and walked slowly, but no one spoke first.

Yang Sichang's father, Yang He, who presided over the Northwest back then, was impeached and imprisoned and died.

The corners of his face were emaciated, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were often lit up.

Yang Sichang walked for a while, walked out of the noon gate, suddenly stopped, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Shilang, I think your opinion is wrong, the Northwest Rebellion, can not be delayed, when the thunder is eliminated, no matter how big or small!" ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, and immediately thought of the means of this person in history.

At that time, Yang Sichang comprehensively encircled and suppressed the rebellion in the northwest, forced Zhang Xianzhong to surrender, and beat Li Zicheng to only a dozen people who fled and did not dare to come out.

Even if it can't really solve the Northwest problem, it can indeed give the Ming Dynasty a sigh of relief.

Zhou Zheng looked at Yang Sichang's expression, paused deliberately, and said, "What the adult said is right. ”

Yang Sichang knew that one or two sentences could not convince Zhou Zheng, and knew that Zhou Zheng's influence was even greater than his Shangshu, so he pondered for a while, looked at Zhou Zheng with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I am Shangshu, everything about the northwest, you have to show me to the emperor again, otherwise don't blame me for ignoring the friendship of my colleagues!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked surprised, Yang Sichang warned him so unabashedly?

Is this the next horse?

Zhou Zheng thought about it, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Yang, why don't you ignore the friendship of your colleagues?" Lord Yang has only been in office for half a year, and he has hoarded hundreds of thousands of money and grain in Jiangxi, Henan and other places, and the emperor doesn't know about this, right? What does Lord Yang want? ”

Yang Sichang's face changed slightly, his eyes suddenly jumped, and he said with a deep color: "How do you know about this?" ”

Yang Sichang thought he was doing something hidden, but in fact, with such a big move, how many people from top to bottom participated, he couldn't hide it from those who were interested.

What's more, it's Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng smiled more and said, "Does Lord Yang still want to report on official affairs?" ”

Yang Sichang didn't expect that Zhou Zheng had been outside Beijing all the time, and he still knew so many things, his eyebrows were upside down like a sword, and he stared at Zhou Zheng with a cold expression.

Zhou just took a moment to rectify, calmly opposite.

For a long time, Yang Sichang removed the sharp look in his eyes, and said lightly: "The situation in the DPRK and China is worse than that in the locality, you and I are both officials of the imperial court, and we should work together to eradicate the trouble in the northwest, as long as you are in the same direction as me in this matter, I will not embarrass you in other matters." ”

When it comes to the position of the six Shangshu and the squire, especially in this special period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the superiors do not have enough ability to lead the first one. First, no one knows when they will leave or die, or enter the cabinet! Second, no one is clean, all kinds of relationships are criss-crossed, and they will not tear each other's faces unless they have to.

With a person like Zhou Zheng, Yang Sichang can be beaten, but he will not really break the relationship.

Zhou Zheng listened to Yang Sichang's words and said with a smile: "What Lord Yang said is true. ”

Yang Sichang saw that Zhou Zheng did not bite and let go, his expression did not relax, but he was more vigilant in his heart, but he was not as aggressive as he was just now, and said in a flat tone: "I will take you to the military department to report on your work." ”

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and said, "There is Lord Lao Yang." ”

Yang Sichang's brows moved, he found that he really didn't like the person in front of him, but he didn't say much, and led Zhou Zheng through the Daming Gate and turned to the military department.

Five of the six departments are here, and the yamen come and go, in and out, and I don't know how many people are looking at Yang Sichang...... and Zhou Zheng.

If you can step into the level of the squire, you will be a real big man who may enter the cabinet at any time!

What's more, Zhou Zheng has just captured the court's henchmen, the thief Gao Yingxiang, who is the person who is in the limelight.

Yang Sichang and Zhou Zheng ignored those whispers and walked straight into the military department.

In the military department, Zhou Zheng has been here many times, but this time it is completely different.

The officials along the way saluted one after another, and they were very restrained.

Yang Sichang took Zhou Zheng to recruit his job, arranged the class room, introduced some matters, and walked around, under the pretext that Zhou Zheng had just returned to Beijing, and he was afraid that he was homesick, so he didn't care anymore.

Zhou Zheng was not polite, sitting in the class room, quietly thinking about some things.

The military department consists of Shangshu, Zheng Erpin, Shilang two, Zheng Sanpin, Lang Zhong two, Zheng Si Pin, Wai Lang four, Zheng Wu Pin, and there are directors at all levels, officials and so on.

Zhou Zheng thought about these official positions and the manpower to be arranged, sat for half an hour, no one came to disturb him, and when his mind was settled, he went to find Yang Sichang.

I want a Langzhong, a non-staff, and three principal positions.

Yang Sichang and Zhou Zheng have a tacit understanding of 'not interfering with each other', so naturally they will not stop a few petty officials, and they all nodded in agreement.

Zhou Zheng made proper arrangements, so he packed up his things and left the military department.

Liu Liuzhen had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw Zhou Zheng coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Second young master, are you okay?" ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "What I asked you to check, how did you check?" ”
