Zhou Zheng took the teacup and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "What can I do?" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. What I asked you to do, did you do well?"

Zhang Heyi hurriedly said: "My lord, we have taken advantage of the chaos of Wen Shoufu's dismissal, and we have already won a lot, and there are still a few things about Liaodong's land reform, taxes, and military system. ”

Zhou Zheng put down the teacup and said, "In other words, the problem is in the military department?" ”

Zhang Heyi glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "Then the problem will be easy to solve." Go ahead, do things carefully, nothing else is your business. ”

Zhang Heyi and Yao Tongshun glanced at each other, didn't dare to ask more, and raised their hands and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Zheng watched the three of them leave and glanced at the official document in front of him.

These are all complicated things, and there is no important information, especially in the northwest, and there is not a single one.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Zheng's mouth, holding the teacup, and sleeping leisurely.

When Zhou Zheng was sleeping, the military department came and went, and it was very lively, and what was even more lively was the imperial court.

Wen Tiren was dismissed, the new chief assistant was indecisive, and Yang Sichang's 'ten-sided net' was in full swing, which can be said to be a busy mess, and it became a pot of porridge.

There is also the matter of Zhou Zheng, the court is even more chaotic, there are all kinds of voices, and the impeachment of Zhou Zheng came to the top for a while, causing the government and the opposition to look sideways.

Outside the palace, there were constant criticisms of Zhou Zheng, and the palace was not at peace, but no one dared to openly announce it, because the Long Live Lord in the Qianqing Palace had already been angry once.

At this moment, Chongzhen was reviewing the transcript in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Li Zhong stood aside and waited, refilled a cup of tea, and said softly: "Long live Lord, this is the impeachment of Zhou Zhengyun again, adding up, there are almost sixty copies." ”

Chongzhen heard the three words 'Zhou Zhengyun', and was about to frown and vent his dissatisfaction, when he was suddenly stunned, looked up at Li Zhong, and said, "How much do you say?" Sixty copies? ”

Li Zhong said: "Yes, this is still a brief copy just copied by the celebrant supervisor, and there are still there in the Department of Political Affairs, these days, I'm afraid there are hundreds of copies." ”

This time, Chongzhen was not angry, his face was hesitant, and his eyes flashed: "Baiben? Has Zhengyun offended so many people this week? What did he do outside? ”

Li Zhong bowed and said, "The slave didn't hear anything, but there were hundreds of copies in just a few days, which ...... The slave maid had never seen anything like this in the palace for more than twenty years. ”

Chongzhen picked up the teacup, looked indifferent, and said, "You mean, someone wants to deal with Zhou Zhengyun and wants to put him in prison?" ”

Li Zhong hurriedly said: "This slave doesn't know, it's just that things are a little strange, and Long Live Lord has to guard against it." ”

Chongzhen took a sip of tea, snorted, and exhaled deeply, but at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, his face was full of tired twilight.

He put down the teacup and said, "Zhou Zhengyun has never been friends or party, and he has no foundation in the imperial court, who has such a deep hatred for him?" Must ruin his future? ”

Li Zhong bowed and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”

Chongzhen glanced at Li Zhong and said angrily: "Useless things, I don't know if you ask three questions, get out!" ”

Li Zhong's expression trembled, and he hurriedly responded, trotting towards the door.

Chongzhen's wrung brows slowly loosened, thought about it and thought about it, and when Li Zhonglin went out, he said again: "By the way, how is the matter of the Admiral Jingying?" ”

In recent years, Chongzhen has sent more and more internal supervisors, especially in the capital, not long ago, he ordered the internal supervisor to patrol the capital, and now he is not at ease with the major battalions in the capital, and is ready to send the internal supervisor to supervise the Beijing camp.

But such a thing must be agreed by the ministers, otherwise there will be trouble, and Chongzhen can only retreat and will not succeed.

Li Zhong hurriedly trotted back again, frowned, thought about it carefully, and said, "Elder Zhang Ge seems to have loosened his mouth, and he has no objection." ”

Chongzhen had a happy look on his face and said, "Really? ”

Li Zhong hesitated and said, "The slave is not clear, and I have to ask someone to go to the cabinet to inquire." ”

Chongzhen threw a notebook over and said angrily: "Then don't go quickly!" ”

"Yes, yes, slave and maid will go!" Li Zhong ran out in a panic.

Zhang Ge Lao, that is, Zhang Zhifa, the original second assistant, is now temporarily acting in the cabinet, but he is not the temporary first assistant, and the position of the first assistant is still in a stalemate.

There is a competition in the court, and Zhou Yanru in Jiangnan is also ready to move.

Soon, Li Zhong brought back an accurate return to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was overjoyed, praised Li Zhong, and directly issued an order, ordering the great eunuch Cao Huachun to supervise the Beijing camp and lead all the soldiers and horses in the capital.

Chongzhen became more and more arbitrary, and directly issued an order, and the courtiers could not work together to oppose it, but they succeeded repeatedly, and the holy decree was never obstructed, or it was refuted by the six branches.

Chongzhen stayed up all night in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Wang Chengen and Li Zhong were waiting outside the door, I don't know how long it took, the sky was about to dark, Wang Chengen looked inside, his eyes turned to Li Zhong, and said in a tone without joy or sadness: "You received the benefits of Zhou Zhengyun?" ”

Li Zhong's temples suddenly stirred, and then he glanced at him quietly, and said, "Those people and things you arranged for the Wang family, those silver came for nothing?" ”

Wang Chengen Fuchen changed his direction and said: "It is a big crime for the ministers to communicate with the ministers, and you should know the proportions." ”

Li Zhong was calm as usual, and said: "Zhou Zhengyun has made great contributions to the country, is loyal to Your Majesty, and has made many meritorious deeds to my Daming, what is wrong with me to protect him from being harmed by traitors?" If you think what I did was wrong, you can go and tell Banzai, and I will confess my guilt. ”

What Li Zhong said was high-sounding and righteous words.

Wang Chengen frowned, shook his head secretly, and said, "I didn't mean to denounce you, but I want you to understand the sense of proportion, don't harm others and yourself." ”

Li Zhong suppressed the panic in his heart, pretended to glance at Wang Chengen calmly, and said, "Thank you very much." ”

Wang Chengen glanced at him again, hugged the floating dust, and continued to look ahead.

Li Zhong tried his best to stay calm, but in fact, his back was cold, and his body was constantly trembling slightly.

'Fortunately, it's okay, I discussed countermeasures with Zhou Zhengyun early, otherwise I would definitely be exposed today...... This Wang Chengen, who is usually silent, actually made trouble at this time, but fortunately I didn't really have a handle to catch him......

Li Zhong secretly called for luck, looked up at the sky, and pretended to wipe his sweat as if nothing happened, but in fact his head was full of cold sweat.

He quietly glanced at Wang Chengen again, thinking in his heart, should he find another opportunity to discuss with Zhou Zheng, this Wang Chengen really can't stay! He is always scared, who knows when he will be exposed!

……

By July 25, the dust had settled on the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Zhifa was promoted to the first assistant, and all the others were disappointed, including the former first assistant Zhou Yanru, who had been active for a long time.

At the same time, in the case of boiling between the government and the opposition, it stands to reason that Zhou Zheng, who should have been imprisoned a long time ago for questioning, was unharmed, and went to work and off work in the military department as usual, completely like a nobody.

I don't know how many people are puzzled, and when they are struggling to impeach, they also probe around, trying to figure out what is going on.

Yang Sichang came out of the Qianqing Palace, and on the way back to the cabinet, he 'happened' to meet the great eunuch Wang Chengen.
