At night, Father Zhou didn't come back, but Zhou Fang came back.

He looked tired and excited.

The two brothers sat in the gazebo, feeling the cool breeze, chatting while eating snacks.

Zhou Fangdao: "Second brother, you don't know, the new emperor is a very cautious and hardworking person, do you know?" I was in the palace for a day, and the emperor never rested. And he is very humble, polite, courteous, courteous, and modest, and he is a rare gentleman through the ages......"

Zhou Zheng listened with a smile and did not comment.

Zhou Fang raised his head, his expression was ecstatic, and said: "The emperor also discussed some knowledge with me, the emperor is different from the previous emperor, he has read the books of sages and sages, he talks about the rules, never exceeds the rules, can distinguish between good and evil, can listen to advice, even if he is gentle and encouraging me, he has never alienated ......."

Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Fang, obviously, the eldest brother was impressed by the new emperor, and his heart was full of joy and expectation.

didn't hit him, Zhou Zheng poured him a cup of tea, and said quietly: "No matter how polite the emperor is, it is also the emperor, as a courtier, the number of courtesies that should be had, the proportion must be taken well, you can't be pampered and arrogant, you must know that disaster comes from the sky......"

Zhou Fang was still very excited, I don't know if he listened to Zhou Zheng's words, uh-huh, and said: "By the way, the emperor said that he wants my Dali Temple and my father to return to the Ministry of Officials......"

Zhou Zheng listened, frowned slightly, and said, "What did Dad say?" ”

Zhou Fangdao: "Dad declined, but I agreed, I went to Dali Temple, sat up from the junior official, and ...... step by step"

Zhou Zheng vaguely understood, but he was afraid that Zhu Youzhen had promised Zhou Fang something else, so he groaned and said, "How did Dad arrange it?" ”

Zhou Fang's eyes were burning and shining, and he said, "Dad seems to be going to Zhan Shifu, Shao Zhan Shi." ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, Father Zhou was still cautious and did not easily get involved in the court.

The Zhan Mansion is relatively far from the imperial court, and it can avoid a lot of right and wrong, but it is a very easy place to advance, but it is a good place to go.

Zhou Fang went to Dali Temple?

Zhou Zheng thought about some of Zhu Youzhen's possible purposes, nodded lightly, and said, "Did you mention me?" ”

Zhou Fang took a bite of snacks and said: "Yes, the emperor said that you were dismissed because you were framed by the eunuch party, and you will be reinstated soon, don't worry, don't think about it." ”

This is not surprising, Zhou Zhengdao: "When will you take office?" ”

Zhou Fangdao: "I'll do it for two or three days, my father has already taken on the job, there are a lot of things in Zhan Shifu, people are still doing things in the Qiandi, and the Qiandi is also very busy......"

When the new emperor ascended the throne, things naturally went a lot.

Zhou Zheng saw that Zhou Fang's excitement was very different from the past, and said, "Rest, you have to go to the dive mansion early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Fang was originally full of interest, listening to Zhou Zheng's words, his expression changed slightly, and said, "You're right, I'll go to sleep." ”

Zhou Fang got up and left as he spoke, walked a few steps and turned back and said, "You can go to bed early, don't make trouble if it's okay." ”

With that, he strode away.

Zhou Zheng looked at his back, shook and smiled, this big brother is a little bit present.

Zhou Zheng took another sip of tea, thinking about the situation in his heart.

Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs were still cautiously testing the new emperor, and they didn't dare to act rashly. However, the new party of Li Guopu and others could not bear it and was ready to move.

And those opposition bigwigs who were driven home by the eunuchs entered Beijing one after another, which was clearly about doing things.

The new emperor Zhu Youzhen was forbearing, preparing to ascend the throne step by step in the hidden mansion, and there were not many people, and it was difficult for the courtiers to guess his true thoughts.

It was at this time that the courtiers did not dare to underestimate the sixteen-year-old new emperor, and they were all extremely cautious and slowly tempted.

"It won't be calm for long......"

Zhou Zheng muttered to himself, stood up, and prepared to go home.

"Second Young Master, Wan Qianchun is here again." Before Zhou Zheng straightened his waist, Liu Liuzhen ran over and said.

Zhou Zheng listened, slowly sat back down, thought for a while, and said, "This is our God of Wealth, you can't treat him lightly, bring him in." ”

Liu Liuzhen replied and ran back.

It didn't take long for thousands of rafters to come, without the swagger of the past, and the expression was no longer a nasty smirk, but an even more annoying wry smile.

The disgusting smell of rouge still follows me.

Wan Qianchun walked to the pavilion, looked at Zhou Zheng, sighed, and said: "I said before that I would no longer take care of things related to Zhou Gongzi, but I repeatedly couldn't control it, so I fell into the whirlpool and couldn't extricate myself......"

Zhou Zheng looked at his expression and said with a smile: "What's wrong with Shopkeeper Wan?" Come to me at night to express your feelings? ”

Wan Qianlin looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, sighed again, sat down opposite Zhou Zheng, and said straight to the point: "These salt merchants are not easy to mess with, they are rich and powerful, even the Chitose Mansion They are also guests, if you continue to fight like this, sooner or later you will be killed." ”

Zhou Zheng heard the smell and said, "Are you here to report to me?" ”

Wan Qianchun said: "No, they asked me to tell Zhou Gongzi that they are going to make a move, and Zhou Gongzi is waiting for it." ”

The salt merchant is going to do something at this time?

Zhou Zheng became interested and said, "What are they going to do?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was not vigilant at all, Wan Qianlin's expression was solemn, and he said: "Zhou Gongzi, you'd better be serious, they still have a lot of relationships in Chitose Mansion, Keguang first, Hou Guoxing, they send silver on a monthly basis, and they have never been broken." ”

Zhou Zheng not only did not be vigilant, but smiled and said, "What else are they capable of?" East Factory, Jinyiwei? Or the Criminal Department, Suncheonfu? ”

Some of the key forces of the eunuch party were cut off before the death of the apocalypse, just to prevent the eunuch party from threatening Zhu Youzhen, who succeeded to the throne.

Wan Qianchun shook his head and said, "Do you think that in this way, they won't be able to transfer the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei?" They really want to do it to you, some of them are manpower, and with your ability, you can't resist at all, even if you have a relationship in the palace. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded secretly, Wan Qianchun is right, the eunuch party is pervasive, Wei Zhongxian's disciples and grandchildren don't know how many, they really want to deal with him, there are many means.

It seems that you have to be careful.

Zhou Zheng muttered to himself in his heart, looked at Wan Qian, and said playfully: "Wan Shopkeeper, what you say today seems to be a bit much?" ”

Wan Qianchu looked slightly stunned, as if he had just noticed, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "I'm just a businessman, I don't want to get involved in your affairs, after this time, I will return to my hometown." ”

Zhou Zheng understood that this thousands of people were afraid and wanted to run.

"Shopkeeper Wan, with all due respect, you can't go." Zhou Zheng smiled and said, how could he allow this person to run away?

Even if Zhou Zheng is willing to let him go, the salt merchant will not, besides, after Chongzhen liquidates the eunuch party, thousands of people will offend so many people, and he will definitely not be able to escape.

Listening to Zhou Zheng's words, Wan Qianlin's expression tightened slightly, and he said with a stiff smile: "Master Zhou, we are also happy, I have never harmed you." ”

Zhou Zheng looked him in the eye and said, "Is there really not?" ”

Wan Qianlin's eyes flickered, and he said solemnly: "Master Zhou, I'm just a businessman." ”
