Zhou Zheng waited for the last to leave, and looked out of the palace gate, and the high-ranking officials in front of the Imperial Palace were very long.

Gathered together in twos and threes, whispering something, and the steps were fast, as if they were fleeing.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous."

Hu Qingzheng was in front of Zhou Zheng and said again and again with a happy face.

Zhou Zheng looked at his back and glanced at Cheng Shangjie on the side.

The old gentleman's face was expressionless, and his eyes were still fierce, but his demeanor seemed to be much more relaxed.

Zhou Zheng knew that this was a premeditated court meeting, but everyone should have been concealed, and the apocalypse planned all this behind his back.

Wei Zhongxian got what he wanted, he was added to the official rank, and he was in the shade of the family, and even with his wings, he was also prosperous and rich.

But this time, whether he gained or lost, only he knew best in his own heart.

I believe that some politically astute people know that the situation in the DPRK is about to change!

Hu Qingzheng saw that more and more people were leaving, and there was no one around, so he approached Zhou Zheng and said in a low voice: "Do you see anything?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Hu Qingzheng, didn't know how much he knew, and said, "Li Zhan is about to soar." ”

Hu Qingzheng looked at Zhou Zheng, his fat face was a little hesitant and worried, and said, "You really think so?" ”

Li Guopu and others are clearly working against Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs are behemoths, can they really soar?

Officialdom is not a street business, buying and selling is not benevolent and righteous, if you are not careful, you will lose everything, and you will not be able to turn over in this life!

Zhou Zheng could see Hu Qingzheng's uneasiness, and everyone was like this, and said with an unmoving expression: "With the support of the emperor, Li Zhanshi and others will inevitably soar." ”

Hu Qingzheng kept staring at Zhou Zheng's expression, and after listening to Zhou Zheng's words, he blinked, but he shook his head, sighed, and said, "If you don't say it, I know that good days won't last long." ”

Zhou Zheng was a little surprised, but Hu Qingzheng saw it thoroughly.

Even if Li Guopu and others overthrew Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party and Qingliu returned, but they still repeated the old stories of the past, and there were still continuous party struggles, tilting each other, and doing everything.

Li Guopu's first assistant can't do it for long.

Hu Qingzheng walked a few steps, restrained his expression, and said in a low voice to Zhou Zheng: "You have to be careful of Ercao." ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned, and immediately understood who the 'second Cao' was, the left capital of the Imperial Court Cao Sicheng, and the right capital of the imperial history Cao Yubian.

These two people suddenly turned against the water in the court just now, and stood on the opposite side of Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party.

This is a very terrible thing, what kind of confidence do they have to turn against Wei Zhongxian at this time?

Did they get a hint of the apocalypse, or did they guess something?

Zhou Zheng pondered for a while, hummed, and said, "By the way, I want to take a leave of absence for ten days." ”

Hu Qingzheng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I also want to take leave." ”

Although today's situation is paradoxical, Hu Qingzheng understands that something big will definitely happen next, at least there will be some unpredictable changes within the eunuch party, especially Er Cao's blatant defection from the eunuch party, the water in this is too deep, you have to hide!

Zhou Zheng didn't want to hide, but he went to the impeachment of Zhou Yingqiu and the eunuchs, and argued with Zhou Yingqiu in the court, proving that he was not a eunuch and had been cut clearly.

He still has many more important things to do, which is to prepare for the great change, but also to think and plan his future path.

Hu Qingzheng really wanted to hide, he hurried back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, handed over the false notice directly, and ran away impatiently.

He didn't just go back to his home, but ran out of Beijing directly and went back to his hometown to save his relatives.

Zhou Zheng walked out of the East Chang'an Gate and looked back at the huge Forbidden City, with an indescribable expression.

This Forbidden City will soon change owners.

This court will soon be replaced by another group of people.

It's just, what if you change it? is still changing the soup without changing the medicine, or even worse, further pushing Daming into the abyss.

Zhou Zheng had some indescribable emotions in his heart, and looked at the palace wall in a daze.

"I heard, you want to see me?" Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng was startled, quickly came back to his senses, and turned his head to look, it was actually Yuan Chonghuan.

He had already changed into his court clothes, his face was pale, and he stood alone in front of Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan, frowned unconsciously, and said for a moment: "Before, Xia Guan wanted to discuss with Lord Yuan about Zhou Shangshu's abolition of the Eight Towns, but Lord Yuan was not available. ”

Yuan Chonghuan sneered, just like Zhou Zheng just now, looked at the tall city wall, and said, "Even if it is removed, it won't be long before they will build it again, it's just a toss." ”

Zhou Zheng thought about it, it was true, the Ming Dynasty had been doing this kind of repeated thing, tossing in vain.

Zhou Zhengke didn't want to stand here with Yuan Chonghuan to discuss these things, so he said directly; "Lord Yuan specially came to find the lower official, but what is the matter?"

Yuan Chonghuan put his hands behind his back, did not look back, and said: "Wang Zhichen sent me a letter before leaving Beijing, saying that your ideas and insights are very different from ordinary people, and you are a rare talent. ”

What Yuan Chonghuan said should be that Zhou Zheng's previous insistence that Jianyu would come back this year and attack Ningjin, but Yuan Chonghuan and others didn't think so at that time.

The battle of Ning Jin has passed, Da Ming won, Zhou Zheng didn't want to say much, and said: "Lord Yuan might as well speak up if he has something to say." ”

Yuan Chonghuan turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng and said, "Before I came to Beijing, I thought about your other remarks, which should have some truth, but the court won't listen, and I can't do anything about it." ”

Zhou Zheng went to the court twice before and said a lot of things, not sure what Yuan Chonghuan was referring to, and looked at him calmly.

Yuan Chonghuan's expression could not hide his loneliness and anger, and he looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Wang Zhichen asked me to take care of you, I am about to resign now, if you have any ideas, you can talk to me." ”

Yuan Chonghuan's resignation was expected by Zhou Zheng, but Yuan Chonghuan suddenly came over to talk to him, which was still a little surprised.

As soon as the court meeting is over, Yuan Chonghuan will resign, too soon!

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Master Yuan thinks that after you resign, who will supervise Ji Liao?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You don't want to think about your future?" I can still do something now. ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Xiaguan's road is at the foot of Xiaguan, and there is no need for others to arrange it." ”

Yuan Chonghuan seemed to take a serious look at Zhou Zheng for the first time, and there was a hint of a smile on his lonely face, and said: "Wang Zhichen said that you have a backbone, it seems to be true." Well, if I resign, I may be the one who supervises Ji Liao, either Gao Di or Wang Zaijin. ”

These two people are eunuchs.

Among them, this Gao Di was questioned for cowardice after the last battle of Ningyuan, and is now locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Wang Zaijin was the governor of Liaodong after Xiong Tingbi, but Sun Chengzong considered him incompetent and transferred to the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.

It can be said that he is still in the imperial court, and the only one who is familiar with Liaodong may be Wang Zaijin. He should also be the most qualified candidate to succeed Yuan Chonghuan and supervise Ji Liao.

Zhou Zheng thought about today's court situation and said: "Today's matter, Lord Yuan has seen it, can Wang Zaijin succeed?" ”

The eunuch party was obviously suppressed by the apocalypse, and the apocalypse would allow the king of the eunuch party to supervise Jiliao in Jin and control the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of Jiliao?

Jiliao is very close to the capital!

Yuan Chonghuan frowned, and after a moment, he shook his head and said: "If you are familiar with Liaodong and conform to the current situation in Liaodong, Wang Zaijin is the most suitable candidate, and it has nothing to do with friends." ”

Now the situation is chaotic like a pool of muddy water, and no one can see it clearly, and no one can understand it.

Zhou Zheng couldn't figure it out, looked at Yuan Chonghuan, raised his hand and said, "Xiaguan wishes Lord Yuan a smooth journey." ”

Yuan Chonghuan saw that Zhou Zheng really didn't make a request, sighed lightly, and said: "According to my opinion on the situation in the DPRK, next, either the Donglin Party will come back, or there will be a new party, you had better not mess with it, so you can do it yourself." ”

If it was Jiajing or Wanli, maybe it would really be like this. But Apocalypse is not, he is dying.

Zhou Zheng knew that Liaodong would have a long period of stability in the future, and he also knew that it would not be long before Yuan Chonghuan would make a comeback.

"Lord Xie Yuan reminds." Zhou Zheng said as usual.

Yuan Chonghuan could feel Zhou Zheng's alienation from him, smiled, did not speak, and turned to leave.

He was alone, dressed in a simple cloth shirt, from one end of Chang'an Avenue to the other.

The changes in the Ming Dynasty have a profound impact on all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, and Yuan Chonghuan's resignation will not have much turmoil, even if he has made great contributions.

Not to mention a frontier governor, it is a cabinet minister, the first assistant, has there been less people who have come and gone over the years?

Zhou Zheng looked at Yuan Chonghuan's back and exhaled secretly.

What is the use of such a court?

Zhou Zheng didn't stay long, and went straight back to Zhou's mansion.

Zhou Qingli had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as she came back, she called Zhou Zheng into the study.

Zhou Zheng knew that he was worried, and the father and son said to Zhou Zheng, who was sitting at the small table, about what happened in the court.

Zhou Qingli knew that Tianqi was seriously ill, and listening to the changes in the court today, his expression froze and remained silent for a long time.

The reward that Wei Zhongxian wanted, he gave it all. But he lifted Li Guopu, Li Biao and others up. These people are all people who have recently charged into battle and vigorously opposed the eunuchs, but they have ascended to the position of the six squires without hindrance.

This has never been done before!

It was clear what the Apocalypse was preparing.

And most of these people are related to Zhan Shifu, if someone knows that the apocalypse is seriously ill, it is easy to think that the apocalypse is preparing for the future.

For a long time, Zhou Qingli raised her head and looked at Zhou Zheng, her dark face was expressionless, her tone was calm and terrifying, and said, "Who do you think it will be?" ”

This sentence has no beginning or end, Zhou Zheng was stunned, and immediately reacted.

What Zhou Qingli asked was, who is preparing for the apocalypse?

Occasionally, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would have no heirs, such as Wuzong, and the ministers would discuss choosing a person from the clan to succeed him as emperor.

That's how Jiajing came about.

Apocalypse has no heirs, so who does the throne belong to?

Actually, there is no need to think about it at all, the brother is the last brother, and the apocalypse only has a younger brother, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters. As for his imperial uncles, the sons of Wanli, such as the Fu King of the previous generation of 'Guoben Dispute', as well as King Rui, King Gui, etc., do not have this qualification.

"King Xin." Zhou Zhengdao. The voice is calm, as if it were homely small talk.

Zhou Qingli nodded lightly and was silent, with a deep sadness in her eyes.

King Xin, it seems that he is only sixteen years old this year, can a sixteen-year-old boy cope with such a complicated court situation? Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party dominates the court, and its power lies inside and outside the palace, how should the new monarch deal with himself?
