After Zhou Zheng met Li Shi, he began to move around frequently, laying out some people and things.

Despite the disturbances of the government and the opposition and all kinds of strange things, the top level is still in a very calm state.

Tianqi didn't make any big moves, the Xinwang Mansion was like an abyss, and Wei Zhongxian didn't come out of the palace.

In the calm, there is an indescribable weirdness.

……

Tian Ergeng, who had disappeared for a long time, finally reappeared.

In a restaurant box, Zhou Zheng and Tian Ergeng sat opposite each other.

Tian Ergeng is as tall and mighty as in the past, and his demeanor is martial artistic, but he always gives people a cold feeling of compassion and reluctance to approach.

Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng, his eyes were bloody, and he said lightly: "Are you very happy now, you think that Wei Gong is about to fall, you don't need to be afraid of me?" ”

The eunuchs are at the end of the road, and who knows what these bloody demons will do.

Zhou Zheng looked as usual, and said: "I have no grievances or hatred with Tian Dudu, I don't know why I am afraid of Tian Dudu, Tian Dudu wants to harm me?" ”

Tian Ergeng had an undisguised murderous intent on his face, and said: "What's the use of pretending to be stupid, I want you to do something for me now, remember, it's not a deal, it's you who must do it for me!" ”

Zhou Zheng stared at Tian Ergeng's expression, which fully revealed Tian Ergeng's impatience, worry, and a hint of madness.

Zhou's face remained unchanged, and he said, "What does Governor Tian want me to do?" ”

Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng's expression that had not changed, his eyes were fierce, and he said: "I warn you, don't play tricks, although the emperor is dissatisfied with Duke Wei, but Duke Wei is still Duke Wei, and I am still the commander of Jinyi Weidu!" I want you dead, I can crush you a hundred times with one finger! ”

Zhou Zheng looked at this Tian Ergeng, who was about to die but didn't know how to die, and he sneered in his heart.

"Governor Tiandu, please speak." Zhou Zhengdao.

It's already August, and there are still more than ten days before Chongzhen takes the throne, as long as Zhou Zheng drags on for more than ten days, the offense and defense are switched, and Tian Ergeng can't be so rampant!

Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng, his eyes were bloody.

He had seen too many big people trembling in front of him, and even kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy with a single look, but the twenty-year-old young man in front of him did not change his face under such coercion.

Is it not afraid of death, or is there something else to rely on?

Tian Ergeng thought about Wei Xizhuang, Li Shi and Tianqi in his mind, and thought that Tianqi had seen Zhou Zheng a while ago, and his face was fierce, and he said: "Don't think that the emperor has nothing to fear when he protects you, I can let you commit suicide before the emperor reacts!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Ergeng and said, "Governor Tiandu, the lower official has already promised you, and you are still persecuting like this, which makes the lower official really incomprehensible." ”

Tian Ergeng saw that Zhou Zheng didn't eat oil and salt, his expression was ugly, and he suddenly sneered and said, "I'll see what tricks you play." It's very simple, I want you to send Choi Chengxiu to prison. ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Li Hengbing's outer room seemed to be involved with Cui Chengxiu and Tian Ergeng, when Li Hengbing was arrested and imprisoned, it was she who came forward and got through the relationship between Tian Ergeng and Cui Chengxiu, and released Li Hengbing.

What kind of woman is this, she actually let Tian Ergeng and Cui Chengxiu be so haunted by their dreams, and even let Tian Ergeng fight viciously to send Cui Chengxiu to prison!?

Zhou Zheng was curious, shook his head and said: "Who is the urging official, Tian Dudu knows better than me, I can't do it." ”

Not to mention that Cui Chengxiu is a eunuch, with Wei Zhongxian as a backer, Cui Chengxiu was able to force the first assistant Gu Bingqian to resign and flee in embarrassment last year, his power and strength are not ordinary, how could Zhou Zheng, a small supervision of the imperial history, be able to shake him.

Tian Ergeng said: "I know, I will give you enough things to bring down Cui Chengxiu." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Ergeng, and his mind was racing.

Tian Ergeng is in charge of Jinyiwei, he doesn't know how many people he has arrested in the past few years, and there are countless handles in his hands, and it is not surprising that there is Cui Chengxiu.

Zhou Zheng was thinking about the dangers and benefits of Cui Chengxiu at this time.

After a while, Zhou Zheng looked at Tian Ergeng and said, "Okay, I'll try." ”

Tian Ergeng's tone did not hide his eagerness, and said, "How long will you take?" ”

Of course, the longer the better. ’

Zhou Zheng said secretly in his heart, pretending to be considerate on his face, and said: "The urging officer is the confidant of Eunuch Wei, even if the evidence is conclusive, it is not so easy to move, I will test it first and see where the wind is going." ”

Tian Ergeng knew this better than Zhou Zheng, and said: "One month, at most one month, within a month, Cui Chengxiu will not enter the prison, and your Zhou family will die violently in the edict!" What I Tian Ergeng said, the emperor can't save it! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng was completely relieved in his heart, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"Okay." Zhou Zheng nodded in agreement.

Tian Ergeng looked at Zhou Zheng's smile, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't understand it, his face was gloomy, and he said, "You'd better remember my words!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave, and before leaving, he said: "What I prepared for you, someone will give it to you tomorrow night, you plan to act, if you betray me, you know the consequences!" ”

After speaking, Tian Ergeng strode away, but the gloomy atmosphere was strong in the box.

Zhou Zheng watched Tian Ergeng leave and sighed silently.

He didn't expect that what Tian Ergeng wanted to deal with would be Cui Chengxiu, and this eunuch party was really full of mountains and infighting.

Fortunately, the time limit given by Tian Ergeng is one month. Tian Ergeng will not know, in less than a month, half a month later, Chongzhen will take the throne, and at that time, Tian Ergeng will not be as arrogant as he is today.

, Zhou Zheng sat for a while before quietly leaving through the back door, and as soon as he returned to Zhou's mansion, Fu Bo greeted him, pulled Zhou Zheng over, and said in a low voice: "Second young master, the master was called into the palace." ”

Zhou Zheng's face changed slightly, and he said, "Who called it?" No, who came? ”

Fu Bo said: "It's the inner eunuch in the palace, who came quite secretly, wearing regular clothes." ”

Now the timing is too sensitive, is it the apocalypse?

Zhou Zheng frowned, a little uneasy in his heart, and said, "How long have you been going?" ”

"It's been almost half an hour. ”

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Well, then wait a minute." ”

Father Zhou was secretly called into the palace by the Apocalypse, so it was useless for Zhou Zheng to investigate, so he could only wait.

Zhou Zheng was sitting in the study reading a book, and he couldn't calm down, until half an hour later, Liu Liuzhen came to say that Father Zhou was back, and Zhou Zheng hurriedly put down the book and rushed to Zhou Qingli's study.

Zhou Qingli had already changed her clothes and sat at the small table drinking tea.

Zhou Zheng saw that his demeanor was calm, so he was relieved, walked over, and said, "Dad, is the emperor seeing you?" ”

Zhou Qingli put down the teacup, glanced at him, and said, "Well, the emperor asked me to go to the palace to make a western seat." ”

"Xixi?" Zhou Zheng was stunned, and then suddenly came to his senses.

The so-called Xixi is the saying of ordinary people, and the palace should be called a professor, who is responsible for teaching the children of the palace.

This position seems to be inconspicuous, and it is generally held by literati who have some fame but have no intention of pursuing a career in office, but after King Xin succeeded to the throne, this 'professor' was replaced by a lecturer. If you give a lecture to the prince, it will become a lecture to the prince!

The meaning of this is self-evident, the apocalypse is arranging some reliable teams for the king of letters.

"Daddy agreed?" Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli and asked.

Zhou Qingli was silent for a while, and said, "I'm afraid the emperor is really not good." ”

He had seen Tianqi in the Qianqing Palace just now, although Tianqi was sitting on a chair, his whole body was swollen, his face was pale, he was panting, his eyes were withered and dull, and he seemed to be in spirit, but in fact he was terminally ill.

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Qingli's somewhat sad expression, understood that Zhou Qingli should have agreed, thought about it, and said, "When are you going?" ”

Zhou Qingli said: "Tomorrow." ”

King Xin was only sixteen years old and had no children, and the apocalypse was in such a hurry to make arrangements, obviously knowing that his time was running out.

Zhou Qingli looked up at Zhou Zheng and said, "Do you want to go together?" ”

The apocalypse arranged this way for the sake of believing in the king, and for the Zhou family, it is also an opportunity, a great opportunity!

Zhou Zheng shook his head decisively, and said at the same time: "Dad, after you go, be cautious in your words and deeds, don't get too close to King Xin, no matter how polite and virtuous Corporal he is, you have to be a lonely minister." ”

"Lonely?" Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng with a puzzled look in her eyes.

King Xin's reputation at this time was still quite good, approachable, no arrogance, self-discipline, self-love, self-discipline, and etiquette, not as arrogant and lascivious as other clans.

After he eradicated the eunuchs, he was even more prosperous and was named the 'Holy Monarch'.

After that, he was also quite diligent, far from being comparable to his elder brother, father, grandfather, and grandfather, and was completely comparable to Emperor Hongzhi.

However, these are only part of his character, the other part is mean, unkind, biased, suspicious, fickle, and murderous!

Zhou Zheng didn't know how to explain to Father Zhou, muttered for a while, and said: "Now that party strife is everywhere, once you get involved, you can't help yourself, you still have to be clean and self-reliant." ”

Zhou Qingli listened to Zhou Zheng's inexplicable words, noticed that he wanted to speak and stopped, thought silently for a moment, and said, "Don't talk about this yet." Do you think King Xin can deal with Wei Zhongxian? ”

Wei Zhongxian is now not only in control of the government, but also in the palace, plus a Hakka family, I don't know how many concubines were murdered, and even Queen Zhang was plotted, this palace is simply a tiger's den in Longtan, the sixteen-year-old King Xin went in alone, can he stand still?

Zhou Zheng looked calm and said with a smile: "Those people in the eunuch party defected to Wei Zhongxian for fame and fortune, if the new emperor showed dissatisfaction with Wei Zhongxian, except for a few, most of these people would turn their guns, and even those few would have the courage to rebel." What's more, the emperor has not already made sufficient preparations. ”

Zhou Qingli nodded thoughtfully, it is true, the imperial court, the Jinyi Guard, the British Duke, and even the Governor of Jiliao, who is closest to the capital, the Apocalypse is quite meticulous.

Zhou Qingli was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I saw Yuanfu in the palace just now." ”

Yuanfu, in fact, is the meaning of the prime minister, the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister, the cabinet is equivalent to the prime minister, in order to avoid taboos, it is called Yuanfu.

Yuan Fu, Huang Liji.

Zhou Zheng thought of this person, and his expression moved slightly.

If King Shin succeeds to the throne, this person is also a key figure, after all, he represents the attitude of the imperial court.

Not to mention the 'national capital dispute' in the Wanli period, the 'palace transfer case' of the Apocalypse has only been six years, and the courtiers almost play a decisive role in the succession to the throne.

As a eunuch boss, Wei Zhongxian's cronies, Huang Liji, the first assistant, what will be his attitude?
