Zhou Zheng listened and nodded secretly, Sun Chuanting's ability is beyond doubt, especially to set up a shelf and let him implement it.

Zhou Zheng occasionally interjected a sentence or two, most of which Sun Chuanting was saying.

When the two of them came to a teahouse, Zhou Zheng stopped and said in a deep voice: "Regarding the matter of the Military Academy, you have to pay attention, I will be the dean, you are the vice dean, I will write the specific teaching courses, and you will also find some people to be professors, this matter must be taken seriously." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan is already preparing and will definitely do a good job." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, looked in the direction of the capital, and suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think about the affairs of the capital?" ”

Sun Chuanting also smiled and said, "What else can you see?" Our Zhang Shoufu is ambitious and wants to do something, but he is in conflict with the emperor, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, and he bets that he won't be able to survive next March. ”

Wen Tiren will leave in June this year, Zhang Zhifa will enter in June, if it is in March next year, this person will not be full for a year.

Zhou Zheng put his hands behind his back and said, "Zhou Yanru has written to me again, and the wind direction of the government and the opposition is also biased towards him, I'm afraid he is really coming back." ”

Sun Chuanting's expression moved, and he said thoughtfully: "My lord, if this Lord Zhou comes back, it may be a good thing." ”

Zhou Zheng thought that in history, Zhou Yanru's fate was that he was given death by Chongzhen before he died and shook his head.

Looking at Sun Chuanting again, Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhang Guowei is in Tianjin? ”

Zhang Guowei, the former governor of Anqing, made meritorious contributions in defending Anqing and resisting Zhang Xianzhong, and performed well in the First World War in the Northwest.

Zhou Zheng's current prestige is unprecedented, one of the best bosses in the military, and he was once the secretary of the military department, this Zhang Guowei came to Tianjin Wei, the purpose is self-evident.

Sun Chuanting also looked at Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "My lord, do you want to see him?" ”

Zhou Zhengdao: "See, this one, it won't be long before it will be Shangshu." ”

Sun Chuanting's heart moved and understood.

There are now three of the six Shangshu, and as long as it is slightly transferred, this new squire will be Shangshu.

Speaking of this, Zhou Zheng said again: "Ma Shiying, Kou Huaiyi wants to go to the capital, I will transfer them back next year, do you have any good candidates for these two places?" ”

Sun Chuanting had expected this for a long time, and said, "My lord, if that old man Zhou can really come back, then it won't be a big problem." If it weren't for him, it would be better not to be a governor. ”

The current turmoil in the imperial court is terrible, no one can control the situation inside, and if you want to operate two governors, it is impossible without the support of the first assistant.

Zhou Zheng nodded lightly and said, "I'll think of a way." ”

Sun Chuanting responded, accompanied Zhou Zheng to go back, and Orr said: "Xiaguan heard that the northwest side is not very calm. ”

Sun Chuanting said not very calmly, it was not the rogue, but the governors, governors, and soldiers of the provinces were vying for power and profit.

The two prime ministers of the five provinces have been vacated, and the power, money, food, and relationships involved are unimaginable, so naturally many people have moved their minds.

Since he has moved his mind and tried all kinds of means, he has come, and Yao Qigong, the governor of Shanxi, has been defeated and imprisoned on the charge of 'arson and plunder'.

Zhou Zheng shook with emotion and said, "I know if it's a chestnut from the fire, or countless people jump into it." ”

Sun Chuanting nodded silently, power is poison, once it is stained, it can only move forward, and there are very few who can withdraw and retreat.

Zhou Zheng went back to Tianjin Wei, and Kou Huaiyi had already prepared the banquet.

Zhou Zheng took a seat, and naturally ushered in a warm welcome from Tianjin Wei and a number of officials, including some officials from Yongping Mansion and Hejian Mansion.

Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, and swept away many acquaintances.

Including Wu Shengqin, Zhou Huaipi, Huang Zhiyuan, these 'protégés' from Jiujiang Pavilion and Zhou Zheng himself, as well as other people's recommendations, or people promoted by these people, there are more than 30 people.

Zhou Zheng smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said: "You have worked hard, this official is the court, only with thin wine, thank you!" ”

Kou Huaiyi and the others hurriedly stood up, held the wine glass and said, "My lord's words are serious. ”

Zhou Zheng drank it all, and everyone drank it too.

Zhou Zheng pressed his hands and asked them to sit down, and then said the changes in Tianjin Wei, thanked them for their hard work, and made persistent polite words.

A group of people looked at Zhou Zheng, and their eyes were naturally full of excitement.

This person is the one who promoted them, and now the Jiliao Inspector, a member of the second grade, is one step away from entering the cabinet!

This is their mentor, and their future is in him!

Sun Chuanting watched from the sidelines, smiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

After some excitement, Zhou Zheng was arranged to rest with the smell of alcohol.

Just as he was about to take a sip of tea and rest, Kou Huaiyi came with a lean middle-aged man.

Zhang Guowei entered Zhou Zheng's room, raised his hand with some apprehension, and said, "Xiaguan Zhang Guowei, I have seen adults." ”

Zhou Zheng is now fully qualified and is called a 'lord' by most officials in the Ming Dynasty.

The book of the military department, the Jiliao Governor, this name can crush many people!

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhang Guowei and said with a smile: "You have performed well in Anqing, and the ministry and the court are very praised, this time I want to transfer you as the right waiter, it is not my idea, it is useless to look for me." ”

Zhang Guowei hurriedly said: "My lord said that he was joking, the lower officials did not come to ask for officials. The subordinate officer knows that the affairs of the military department are heavy and involve the whole world, and when it comes to this, who else knows better than adults? ”

Zhou Zheng sighed, and the smile in his eyes became stronger.

This Zhang Guowei is really good at talking, and he is telling the truth.

The current imperial court, in terms of status, qualifications, and military affairs, there is indeed no one stronger than Zhou Zheng, and his voice in many things is heavier than that of Shoufu!

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhang Guowei and smiled: "Sit down." ”

Zhang Guowei sat down cautiously, and his expression was still a little reserved.

The reason why he came was not only because he wanted to have a relationship with this Zhou who had great achievements and unprecedented prestige, but also because there were rumors in the imperial court that Zhou Zheng wanted Zhang Guowei to go to the northwest, Zhang Guowei knew that it was a big pit and never wanted to go.

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhang Guowei and said, "I can't leave Liaodong and Northwest for the time being, and I need to worry more about the military department." In my letter, I discussed with Fu Shangshu that the governors of the provinces still need to work together and not be careless. Prime Minister of the Northwest, it seems that the imperial court does not want to set it up again, and when necessary, you have to go around in person. ”

Zhang Guowei also knew the situation of the court before he came, the emperor, the imperial court did not want to set up the prime minister of the five provinces, the rebellion in the northwest has been extinguished, and then set up such a prime minister with too much power, the court is worried that it is not a civil unrest.

Zhang Guowei suddenly looked solemn and said, "What the adults said is true." The lower officials have already submitted to the emperor and the court the eighteen points of the situation in the northwest, in order to completely pacify the northwest and get rid of the chaos! ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him, this is also a person who is very talkative.

The chaos in the northwest lies in the fact that the peasants are going to starve to death, and the so-called 'wait is death, and thieves will also die', and if this problem is not resolved, the rebellion in the northwest will not stop.
